LONDON.
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 14, 1828.

The game is up in Portugal. We have news
from Lisbon of the sth instant, and horn Oporto
of the same date, by the arrival of the Truelove,
which left that port on the sth, and arrived off
Dover yesterday: The intelligence brought by
this vessel unfortunately confirms the worst news

From Lisbon. It was expected when the True.

love left, that the Marquis PALMELLA, Count
VILLA FLOE, SALDANHA, STUBBS, .r.[AIPA,
and others, would embark on the 6th, in the Bel-
fast steamer, and proceed for England, where they
may, ere this, have landed. If all this be true, the
general wonder is, what could have induced the Por.
tuguese troops in Oporto and elsewhere to stand
up for a Constitution which they betrayed the
first opportunity that presented itself. It cer-
tainly speaks little for the Portuguese people
that the soldiery were not better supported.
When SALDANHA arrived at the army, he
found the men in the power of the Priests—
they would not fight, but retreated from each
line of defence as MIGUEL'S troops advanced.
It was supposed that Oporto would be cntered
by MiGuEL's army on the 6th, when ven-
geance would have full scope. if the Por-
tuguese themselves can tamely bear the tyranny
of MIGUEL, it matters little to other nations.
When they expressed a wish, or attempted to
liberate themselves, they received the sympathy,
and even the support of this country, but when
they refuse to assert their own rights, it would
be idle in us to interfere. As a nation, the Por-
tuguese are miserably subservient to the Priests—
even more so than in Spain—and while they con-
tinue so bigotted in their minds, and so degraded
in their national character, there is little hope for
their regeneration till some terrible visitation con-
, vulse the Peninsula. MIGUEL has now assumed
the title as well as the attributes of King, and
reigns in his lonely Court deserted by the Ambas-
sador of every nation, except that of Sardinia. Sir
FREDERICK LAMB, one of the most honest
and spirited Ambassadors that ever represented
the Majesty of a free people, has returned to
England in the packet. IR another column we
have given the details of the Lisbon news. By
to-morrow we shall probably have to communi-
cate the occupation of Oporto by the Miguelites,
unless the Constitutionalists display a better
spirit than we are disposed, tinder all the circum-
stances of the case, to give them credit for.
Ti

'he Allgemcine Zcitung of the 7th inst.
contains some further particulars respecting the
Duke of BRuNswtoes affair, for which we
have not room to-day.

Letters from Smyrna of
- ,
4th June say, text
the Governor gave notice to
the ships of the
three Allied Powers not to approach the roads,
upon which Admiral DE Iticavy immediately
returned an answer to the PACHA, that if a
singlei shit was fired at any of the Allied ships,
lewouldilhatter the fort to the ground and
destroy the town. This spirited and prompt in-
terference produced the desired effect, and ships
were allowed to approach as usual.

Letters from Toulon, of the 4th July, state
that the 1, Went had arrived there from the
Morea, Where she left the French squadron
blockading Nayarit). A report prevailed, pre-
vious to her departure, that Admiral RIGNY

with the Conquerant, was going to Corfu, to take
on board the Ambassadors for Constantinople.

In another part of our Paper will be found the
Turkish Manifesto, in answer to the Russian De-
claration of War. We are compelled by the pres-
sure of other matter to postpone any comments
upon this curious document till to-morrow.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at
Dover, dated July 13 :
" The Jane, Brown, and the True Love, Watson,
passed to-day, from Oporto—the farmer sailed the
3d, the latter on the sth inst. : they have both
brought passengers, who have landed here, and pro-
ceeded to London. The Constitutionalists have
been obliged to retire towards the Spanish frontier.
The forces under Don Miguel were, on the sth, in
the immediate vicinity of Oporto, and would, in all
probability, enter the city the following day. The
Marquis Falmella, with General Stubbs, Saldanha,
Villa Flor, Taipa, and others, had embarked on the
.sth, at Oporto, in a steam-boat, for England. The
English at Oporto appear to have availed themselves
of several English vessels in the river to embark
their families and property, and every facility and
protection had been afforded by the British men-of-
war cruising off the port."
The Royal George, from London, arrived at
Mauritius on the 10th of March.
