HERALD.
Lisaoss, MARCH s.—The conduct of Don Miguel still
continues. extraordinary. His days arc represented as prin-
cipally spent in a large room in the Palace walking up and
down, or receiving some of the persons who wait on him.
When alone, he amuses himself in looking through a tele-
scope to the bar of the Tagus, as if he expected some vessels
either to arrive here, or, what is more likely, to take their
departure from hence. Preparations are making daily' for
the embarkation of the British troops, and the faction,
which is now clamorous for the absolute King, will then,
according to the general expectation, assume the mastery,
astd face, if force lie necessary, Don Miguel to obey their
wishes. This Prince dines at a late hour, and takes no
foodbut what is prepared from the hands of an old nurse ;
and some even assert that he has a surgeon to taste before
he eats it. • Fearful of going abroad, lest he should be as-
sassinated ; fearful of eating, lest he should be poisoned—
his life must he miserable from terror, and those terrors
are menaced from the falsehoods poured into his ears by
those who work upon him to gain their own ends. The
belief, which is general among his partisans, of his not hav-
ing taken the oath on Tuesday last, has- had the effect of
assembling several hundreds of the rabble employed in the
Royal stables, on the last four or five evenings, at the en-
trance into the Palace, when they forced all the Peers and
others who go there to join in the cries for Absolutism.—
Some ludicrous scenes occurred there on Saturday even-
ing. Amongst the courtiers who then went to the Palace
was the Patriarch, who is a Cardinal of the Roman
Church, and of course wears the red cap or hat, the slip-
pers, and the other insignia. His Eminence came, ac-
cording to custom, dispensing blessings to all, to the portal,
and the mob assailed him, calling on him with great cries
to cry out " Success to Miguel 1., our absolute King."—
Not having obeyed instantly, they tore off his Eminence's
cap, called him names, and, in his hurry to go up stairs,
lie lost his slipper, and succeeded in making a slip-shod
race into the interior of the building. Prince Schwart-
aenhusg, an AUstrian, who came here to announce the de-
parture of Don 'Miguel from Vienna,- was also seized.
Net understanding the Portuguese comment% of the abso-
lute mob, he cried out in French, " Gentlemen, gentle-
men, tell me in French what you want." His appeal
was useless, for " the gentlemen" did not understand
it, and this Prince was glad to escape an absolute mauling
and to fly away in terror and disgust. The day following
he bade adieu to the Tagus, and embarked on beard the
Briton frigate, which conveyed Lord Heytesbury to Eng-
land. It must be an amusement to hear this polished
young German recount this adventure. The Conde da
Cunha, a Portuguese of no great worth was also assailed,
and his carriage broken, to the satisfaction of many who
dislike him. But of all who suffered, the General Com-
mandant of the Province and of the City, Caula, was most
opprobriously assaulted. " This is the rascal who in May
last prevented the revolution in favour of our absolute
King from being successful in Elvas—let us be at him."
They tore open the carriage, threw stones at the General,
and severely wounded him on the wrist—some even say
the arm was nearly broken. This treatment was repeated
under the portals of the Palace, within the hearing of the
Regent, who could, if he chose, have ordered the guard to
drive the miscreants away. But it was his object to en-
courage them.
Rumours have been afloat to-day of a change in the Mi-
niaftY. It is said that the Infanta Regent proposed several
unreasonable measures to the Minister at War, the Conde
de Villa Real. Those measures were an amnesty for
Chaves and his rebellious gang—the removal from the
command of the provinces and of the regiments, all officers
attached to the Constitution.
It is well known in England that Don Miguel while
there contracted a loan, for which the British Government
became security to the amount of 50,000/. Continental
schemes, continental intrigues, continental influence, in-
I creased (as the best-informed here assert) the loan to
200,000/., and Don Miguel, secure in having outwitted the
British Ministry, and well aware that his City friend had
Continental securities to back him, or that the money would
not leave England, delayed in Plymouth, and had not
given any certainty for his future conduct. Some days-
after his arrival he was all Constitutional, to please
England, but when expectation became certainty—when
the Jew had given assurance doubly-sure, by sending off
the money..-the mask fell, and Don Miguel appeared in
his native colours—fearful, deceitful, despotic, cowardly;
whose word was but air ; whose honour is but chaff
before the gale. Such even the Corcunda here, the
friends of the old regime, now call him. Yet this Prince
is to be pitied, for he is but the toy, the mere puppet of
abler hands_ He is wholly under the guidance of his
mother, the old Queen, who, to use her own expression,.
" knows him well."
The acts of the Infant have lowered the price of the
Government Paper Money to 22 discount, and there is no
sale for the other Securities. There are some persoss who
expect the English troops, or at least part of them, will
remain, for they cannot think that the British Government
will expose so many subjects and so much property to such
dangers. The mobs around the Palace having, from the
representation of the British Ambassador received orders
to retire, have taken another course, and last night at..
tacked the Houses of some Peers, in order to frighten them
also. The Conde de Ponte's house at Santo Amaro was,
it is said, surrounded by them. They are manifestly en-
couraged, by the Government not using any effective means
to put them doUrn, which could be done in a tew hours by
two troops of cavalry.
The first act of Sir F. Lamb, in his official capacity, has
been worthy of an English Ambassador. He has refused
permission for the 34 barrels of dollars, which Rothschild
seat from London on board his cutter, the Sir William
Curtis, to be landed here, on the ground, that as the
British Government was security, and as Don Miguel had
broken all the promises which he had made in England,
credit could not be givens that this money would be used
for a good purpose. Great laughter has been excited
among the Constitutionalists at this stroke of policy, which
is sufficient to open the eyes of Don Miguel, who, if he
has feelings, ought to regard this act either as an insult,
. or as a proof aids infamy.
There was a review this evening of the British troops
within a stone's throw of the Palace, at which all the re-
giments, except three at Mafra, were assembled ; but
though some expected Don Miguel would have been pre-
sent, lie did not come. Sir F. Lamb arrived a little late
on the ground, from being delayed at the Palace, where
he had a conference with the Regent. This insulting con-
duct of Don Miguel is not likely to make friends of the
English soldiers. The report, however, of this evening is,
that the Conde de Villa Real, two days ago, sent an of-
ficial note to Sir F. Lamb, in which he described the de-
plorable state of the country, and requested that the troe"
should be delayed for a short time, if possible. The an-
swer of Sir Frederick was, that all the troops and ships of
war, and transports should be over the bar before the 20th.
It is an undoubted fact that Don Miguel is a coward : per-
haps he is afraid of the garrison, and wishes that Chaves
should be near Lisbon when General Clinton takes his de-
parture.

We understand that the last despatches from
Calcutta, received by the Court of Directors, bring favour-
able accounts of the financial situation of the Company's
Government. The Burmese treat 7 of peace, in what re-
gards the fine stipulated to be paid under it to the con-
querors, is said to be punctually fulfilled, theucylastaitnsctflcmuet.ntat

we believe, a well-
grounded expectation that the remittances in specie from
India, on account of the Deccan prize-money to be distri-
buted in England, may shortly take
place without incon-
venience to the Company. It seems that nearly twelve
months ago, pressing instances on this subject were made
by Ministers to the Court of Directors, but various
culties then presented themselves to an immediateo
com-
pliance. The Government of Bengal was but just releasedhad

The Ministry here were well disposed at

at length rendered it advitble to hasten the fulfilment of
them; in consequence of which the large sales of stock

from India were thus anticipated, and the prize-money put
in course of distribution much earlier than would other-
wise have been the case. Part of the stock sold was for
certain expenses incurred by the Company at home. It
is now confidently expected that the Government of Bengal
will be enabled to make remittances to an extent adequate
to cover the whole in the course of the year, and conse-
