PORTUGUESE CAPTURES.

hi consequence of the receipt of the under-
mentioned letters from Lisbon, by which it appears
the Portuguese coast is infested with Brazilian
cruisers and privateers, who are buisily employed in
the capture of Portuguese shipping and property.
The Underwriters of Lloyd's have taken considerable
alarm, and risks which were done yesterday at eight
guineas per cent. have this day been effected in that
Establishment at twelve guineas per cent., and even
at this date, few like to undertake these risks, even
at this advance, for the Underwriters do not seem to
place much reliance on Portuguese covoy at any
time, much lesS in the present instance, and the state
of that unfortunate country. In fact, the only astonish-
ment is, atter the frauds that have been proved, and
bona fide losses that have happened, we can scarcely
believe any Underwriter will toch them at all.
LISBON, AUG. 30.

A corsair or privateer has appeared off the Bar,
which has captured a vessel going from Figuira to
Maranhad, called the Gratida, and has overhauled
others. To-morrow, a brig is to sail, in order to
give convoy to some vessels. It is also said that the
Boa Nova and tha Tama de Porto has been taken ;
but with respect to the latter vessel, there is some
uncertainty. Another letter of the same date states,
that two brigs, apparently privateers, have been seen
off the Bar of Lisbon, and mentions the report of
the Gratida. The Captain of the Boa Nova is also
mentioned, hound from Oporto to Rio de Janeiro.
On the 31st, two brigs of war were to sail, and the
Dots Amigy, bound to Bahia, will avail of this
Convoy.

For the sake of the pockets of the Fashionable
World, we are happy in being able confidently to inform
them, that l'Avtra, of Winipole-street's, Coats, cannot be
distinguished from SzuLtz's or Nuuses.

LONDON.
THURSD I,Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1828.

Letters from Lisbon of the 31st August say
that the differences between MIGUEL and his
mother had not been adjusted up to that period.
Sir JOHN DOYLE had not been liberated at the
departure of the packet. His health and spirits
were much the worse for the rigorous, the
rnffianly confinement which he was compelled
to endure. What becomes of the official boast
of the Earl of ABERDEEN, about the immediate
liberation of Sir JOHN DOYLE, when that
officer is still detained, after his acquittal on the
mock-trial ? The grasping, determined tyranny
of Don MIGUEL forms a pretty contrast to the
irresolute milk-and-water demonstration of our
Foreign policy. How unlike that of Mr.
C ANNING'S GOVERNMENT—Iet Portugal—let
Russia, nay, let Europe and the Independence
of Greece bear witness ! The Duke of \V L•
LINGTON may be a very good soldier, but he is
confessedly a bad politician—so bad, that we
are at a loss to choose between himself and his
Foreign Interpreter, the Earl of ABERDEEN.

By the arrival of a packet from Buenos Ayres
and Rio Janeiro, we have Papers from the Ist
to the 23d June, and from the latter to the 14th
July. Their contents however are not very im-
portant. The young Queen of PORTUGAL
sailed from Rio on the sth July in the imperatriz
frigate, and not a line-of-battle ship, as formerly
stated. An insurrection took place in Bolivia,
in which SUCRE, the President, was made pri-
soner, but be was afterwards rescued. There
was no appearance, and less hope, of peace
between Brazil and Buenos Ayres.
The Rio Herald states, we are extremely
sorry we have it not in our power to announce
any amelioration in the malady of her Serene
Highness DONNA PAULA, she is still considered
in imminent danger. A resolution has passed
both Houses, and remitted for the sanction
of his Imperial MAJESTY, authorising the ad-
mission of notes of the value of one and two
millions. The frigate Maria _babel returned
from Santos; it is said she has orders to take
on board three months' provisions, and get ready
for sea. Europe is supposed to be her desti-
