ANOTHER COMET.

The French Papers mention the discovery of a new
comet, which for some days has been visible in the con-
stellation Bootes. The unfavourable weather not having
yet permitted astronomers to observe its motion, they find
it necessary to await the combination of positive obserthva-
tions previous to speaking, of it. It wa

The &minter packet has arrived at Falinouth,
bringing a mail from Lisbon, from whence she sailed
on the 22d ult., by this opportunity we have received
Lisbon Gazettes and private letters to the 21st ult.

The commotions in Algarve had not been sup.
pressed on the 15th, the date of the last de.
spatches from the General in that province, but de

sertions had commenced in the ranks of the insur•

gents, and he intended to march on the 19th with all
his forces against thim. The following are extracts
from the Gazettes :

(From the Lisbon Gazette 18th Oct.)
WAR-OFFICE, Ocr. 17.

The Count D'Alva, in a letter of the:l3th writes, that
on the following day be would join the regiment of infan-
try, No. 2, which left Lagos, with the militia of that
town; he has with him the ,2d regiment of artillery, with
347 men, and the regiment of militia of Beja was arriving.
The captain commanding at Selves writes from that
town on the 13th and the rebels seemed disposed to retire
into Spain.
The accounts from the provinces of the North, are from
the 11th to the 13th; not Ling had occurred to disturb
public tranquillity. •

WAR-OFFICE, Ocv. 18.
The General, Minister of War, commanding the divi-
sion of Operation, writes from Vendas Novas, on the 17th
inst., that the division is animated by the best sentiments.
The infantry passed the night of that day at Saint Thiago
de Escorial, and the cavalry at Vendas Novas: lie trans-
mits a dispatch of the 16th from the General of Alentejo,
who, acceding to the desire of the General of Algarve,
causes' to march to Beja and be at the disposal of that
General, a Sufficient force and ammunition to act against
the rebels. This force is to reach Beja, at the latest, on
the 19th ult. The troops in the province of Alentejo are
animated by the best spirit. The latest accounts from the
provinces of the North are of the 13th and 14th ; public
tranquillity had not been interrupted.
The General of Algarve, writes from Almodovar,
the 15th, that he thought to march on the 19th with all
the forces which he expected, which were to assemble the
preceding day for Faro, and to go to Tivim, where he
would fix his head-quarters; that the enthusiasm of the
troops is as great as possible, as well as of all Algarve in
general, as is affirmed by the magistrates of the several dis-
tricts, who present themselves with the entire corporations,
and the officers of militia of Tavim ; that he received
notice that the whole assembled in Tavira, and intended
to march to Castro Marin, to watch for an opportunity to
escape to Ayamoule; that desertion has already began
among them and will increase as they discover the false-
`mods by which they have been deceived.
WAR-OFFICE, Octr. 20.

OCT. 21.—The General of Algarve writes from Alma-
dovar, on the 17th, that he had given orders to all the I
troops to march on the 17th, to Faro, where they were to
arrive on the 19th; his entrance into 'favira, will take
place on the 23d. It was known that the rebels had re-
tired from all paints of Castro Marin and Tavim, and it
is supposed they intended to form in the former place,
whilst the General had determined to march on the 24th.
The best spirit continues to animate all the troops and
the in4bitants of Algarve.
The communication between Lagos and Lisbon, is al-
ready opened, and the Colonel-Governor of that town,
writes on 15th inst. that he had published a Proclamation
of General Count D'Alva, which had given inexpressible
satisfaction to the people. Salutes of artillery were fired,
&c. P,nblia tranquillity was established there.
The Corregidor of the Mayor of Faro, wrote on the
17th, that on the preceding day, at three o'clock in the
afternoon, the last force of the rebels bad left that place,
proceeding by hasty marches to Tavira, after having taken
from the public coffers all the money they contained."
Measures had been adopted to guard the town and restore
tranquillity, which had been enacted in perfect order.
The accounts from Minho, Trat-os-Moutes, and Alen-
tejo, continue to affirm that public tranquillity had not
bean interrupted,
The following is the proclamation of the Conde
D'Alva, alluded to in the above,
"inhabitants of the kingdom of Algarve.-.--A military
faction has commenced in this fine country—a revolution
for the Impose of attacking the sacred and legitimate rights
of King Don Pe4o, our sovereign, Forged decrees, in
flammatory proclamations, and whatever human wicked-
ness suggested to deceive the unwary, were the means
which the wicked employed to ruin the prosperity which
this country enjoyed,

peace, ylenkY, and obedience to the laws prevail here, and
foreseeing also the fortuue and prosperity which was pre-
poring by the establishments that are to be created, resol-

sarong you, ant'l will put an end to the affliction which op,
presses your hearts. He has alreadt assembled the brava
regiments of artillery No. 2, and of infantry No, 2, which,
refusing to favour the infamous cause of rebellion,are ready

to shed all their blood for the inalienable rights of the legi-
timacy of Don Petit() IV., our King. Battalions of In-
fantry, squadrons of cavalry, and parks of artillery, are al-
ready marching to Upper Alentejo—all are going to fall
on the evil-minded, who dare to rise against the legiti-
macy of the Sovereign; and exemplary punishment will
show how unhappy will be the fate of him who
shall support their cause, or give them any kind of
succour or refuge. The Conde D'Alva, knowing the
honourable character of the Algarvians, doubts not that on
this occasion they will second him with all their hearts by
doing every thing to resist the rebels, not obeying their
commands, intercepting their scanty resources, in a word,
giving the most evident proofs of their zeal in the service
of the King, and of the social virtues which distinguish
them. The Conde d'Alva promises to every soldier who
shall present himself in arms at Almodovar, within six
days from the publication of the present Proclamation, that
he shall be pardoned for his desertion,and be again received
into the ranks.
The Conde D'ALVA, Military Governor of Algarve.
Head-Quarters at hlertola, Oct. 12, 1826.

Our private Letters from Lisbon do not contain any
additional particulars relative to the war in Algarve,
except that the force proceeding against the rebels con-
sists of about 2,000 men. Lisbon itself continued
quiet.

At a late hour last night we received the Paris
Papers of Saturday and the Etoile of Sunday morn-
ing. They do not put us in possession of any news
of importance. The French Funds continue to rise,
the per Cents. having reached 99f. 85c. ; and the
3 per Cents. 70f. 40c.
The following are the only paragraphs worth ex-

tracting
(From the Btoile, dated Sunday, Nov. b.)
PARAGUAY.
ASCRNSION, AUG. 2.—The first and second legions have
taken arms, but the reason is not known. These letters
add, that promotions have been made in the army of
Paraguay, and that the valiant Guarany has been named
Generalissimo. It is to this officer as a senior, according
to the regulations in vigour, that the office of President of
the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, and that of the Supreme
Board of Finances, and of the administration of the public
treasury, belongs, as well as the exercise of the functions
of Chief Magistrate during the illness or temporary ab-
sence of Dr. Francis.
The representatives and chiefs of the municipalities who
met on the 16th July would not accept the resignation of
Dr. Francis. This extraordinary man, after seeing that
the Commissioners whom be had sent to Europe, had not
succeeded, leads it melancholy life. In consequence he
has alleged the state of his health, to retire to the town of
Pilar, to some of his friends. The administration of
bairn,
in consequence of the absence of M. Guarany, has b
confided ad interim, to Mr. Zapidas. The Commissioners
who were in Europe have received orders to return to Pa-
raguay, and the Plenipotentiary of Brazil has been obliged
to withdraw to Mattogrosso. Lastly, the most recent
letters from that part of America, contain the following
Proclamation, which Dr. Francis has published.
PROCLAMATION.
Inhabitants of Paraguay !—Your First Magistrate, after
having answered to the confidence which you granted him
by preserving the province in peace, has need of repose
from all his labours ; for this purpose he has chosen the
town of Pilar, where he will implore the Almighty to be
pleased to consolidate the happiness of the country under
the rules of equity and justice, which have hitherto pre-
served us from the evils which have afflicted the whole
pGroovfoeurnnndiernetspeacdt iwntiedriinwl,hilchreatiilretivieernyiesaastuisrfieesdhawvisthbtethet
American Continent. Leaving Zapidas charged with the
received that I have adopted for the administration, and I
preserve engraved on my heart the heroic actions of so
virtuous a people. Honour me with your remembrance ;
this has been, is, and will be my greatest happiness.

PARIS, NOV. 3.—Violent attacks are still made in our
streets. In the night of the 29th and 30th of October, a
coachman, named Vol, was found murdered in the Rue
d'Ouest. On the evening of the 30th, about half-past
nine o'clock, an old lady, about 66 years of age, was re-
turning home, accompanied by her servant ; she had
a reticule with a steel clasp on her arm, this was

Wu learn by private correspondence from Madrid
hat the Marquis de CHAVES had escaped from Por-
mgal into Spain. It appears that he entered the Spa-
fish frontiers by Verin, a town of Gallicia. The

same letters mention that a cavalry regiment, which
had been disarmed in Portugal, subsequently entered
Spain by Zamora. They had succeeded in carrying off
their horses, though without saddles. Desertions by
Ciudad Rodrigo are also said to occur daily.

it appears by advices lately received from the United
States that the Alts of the Colombian Government
have been making efforts to raise a small Loan, to
the amount of 1,000,000 dollars in New York. They
have not, however, been able to succeed, the people of
the United States having before their eyes the fate of
the Bondholders of the former Loans of Colombia.

It is said that M. CAMACIIO, who lately arrived in
this country from Mexico, is engaged in the arrange-
ment of a commercial treaty with this country, for
which he has been entrusted by his own Government
with full powers.

We have the highest gratification in being able to
assure our Readers, that the health of his Royal
Highness the Duke of YORK has very materially im-
proved within the last few days ; many of the most
alarming symptoms have subsided, and sanguine hopes
are entertained that his ROYAL HIGHNESS's con-
valescence will continue to advance.

A new patent, appointing Commissioners of the
Board of StamPs) has been issued,
and it is understood
that the names of Mr. SEDOEWICK, the late Chair-
man of that Board, of Mr. HALLAM, and Mr.
sporont, do not appear in the new patent.

We have hitherto abstained from" all observations
on the subject of the result of the parliamentary en-
quiry into the state'of that department, nor have we
noticed the various letters addressed by Mr. SEDG..
