The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Doi dated
Tuesday morning, reached us: last night, extracts of
which are given in a preceding column.
The intelligence relative to the revolt and desertion
Of some corps of the Portuguese army, which the
Elate briefly gave on the preceding dtiy., is now re-
peatedc.with some additional details, together with the
Proclamation issued on the occasion by D. CORREA
'DE MELLO, the Military-'Governor of • Tras-os-
Montes,• from his head-quarters at •ChaVeS, mid his re-
port to the Minister of War.' •
Although the fact is thus clearly established of the
insubordination which has existed in that proiince,
and of the mutinous conduct of some part of the Por-
tuguese army, we are not inclined to think seriously of
the •matter, 'particularly is, we find, by reference to
dates, that all the instances of insubordination men-
tioned in die French Papers occurred some days prior
to the dale of the last accounts which we received from
Lisbon direct, at which time wekuow that tranquillity had
been every where re-established. The affinr at Chaves
was mentioned in those despatches, but was described
as not having been of an. alarming nature, and as being
effectually quelled. It. is not to be supposed that, a
great and important change in the Constitution of a
great and. important change in the Constitution of a
Kingdom can be effected without the feelings and dis-
appointed hopes of some part of its population, or mili-
tary, force, occasioning partial dissatisfaction and oppo-
sition to the new ordet of things ; but the general
feelings, both of
,the populace..and of the army, are
so decidedly in favour of
,the Constitutional Charter
given to Portugal, that no reasonable doubt can be .en-
tertained, notonly of its immediate and complete esta-
blishment, but of the instances, of opposition to it being
extremely rare. The. Quotidimme may magnify these
partial disturbances, and draw inferences' from them of
the repugnance of the nation to a Constitution, which
according to that Paper, has been forced- upon Poi-
tugal by England, and its Minister, Sir CHARLES
STUART; but the fact is already, clearly established,
that if England has been the means of • bringing about
this .event, the people of Portugal have almost unani-
mously received it as a boon, entitling her to their gia-

In looking over the files of American Papers which
reached town yesterday, to the: I9th of July, we find
the following information, said to have been commu-
nicated by a gentle Man who Canie passenger in the
ship New England,wllich had arrived from Calcutta
" The steam-boat Enfrrprixe passed the ship
England, from CalCutta, off Sangur Island, at the entrance
of the river Hooghly, on the Ith of March, and reported
to us that the British army' had reached Ave, the capital
of the Burmese kingdom; and • that Sir Campbell had
sent in word to the king, that unless the terms contained
in the treaty previously couctuded with his generals were
acceded to within twenty-four hourii he would destroy the
city. It was presumed that this would produce a termi-,
nation of the war.'?

The date at which it is said the
boat Enterprize steam
Was met by the New England corresponds 'so
well with the time at which her arrival at Calcutta was.
expected with dispatches from Rangoon, that we have
Very strong hopes the intelligence which is said to
have been communicated by her to the American ship,
will prove to be correct.
The American Papers are principally filled with
accounts of the panic,
which exists in all parts of the
•
Union, occasioning a run upon almost every bank,and
involving various establishments in embarrassment.
We subjoin a few extracts on this subject from
the
New York Commercial Advertiser, and other journals.
