VTPNNA, APRIL 5.--The news from Portugal re-
lative to Don Miguel excites great sensation here.
The odious attacks made on this occasion against our
Court by the Revolutionary Journals, belong to a
school which is too well known to merit the honour
of a. serious refutation. His Royal Highness the
Triant enjoyed all the kindness of his Majesty the
:grnperor, which he appeared to merit by his modest
conduct dining his long residence here; and it must
undoubtedly be supposed that he received from his
Majesty the solemn advice to proceed in the paths
of virtue and justice. Undoubtedly, none but such
councils have been given him, and it would be very
deplorable if he should abandon this part, which
ran alone serve as the basis for the pacification of a '
people, who were given up in 1826, for mere wan-
tonness, and in so criminal a manner, to revolution.

PARIS, APRIL 14.—Th4-2 Moniteur publishes to-
day the statement of the Quarter's Revenue. It
shows an excess of 8,200,000 francs above the esti-
mates of the budget, which was calculated on the
revenue of 1825; and an excess of 12,132,000
francs above the produce of the revenue in the first
quariPtr of 1827.

Notwithstanding all the the 'netts that have
been circulated respecting the intended expedition,
it seems that it will take place. The 32 merchant-
men freighted for account of the Government are
leady to set sail, and the owners have received six
vic,:elts) payment in advance, according to the con-
tract. There is not vet any positive order for
making stalls for the clisalrv, either here or at Tou-
lon, but it is presumed that the number of horses to
be embarked is not fixed. We hear of a contract for
forage, amounting to 150,000 metrical quintals,
which are to be emplo.) ed, not only during the pas-
sage, but at the place of destination. The same is
the case with other stores of flour, salt, meal, &c.,
made for account of the war department, which are
to be embarked in the transports; the provisions
during; the voyage being furnished by the marine
department.

The preparations continue with etkity in the
port of Toulon. All the troops, in antry, artillery,
and engineers, intended for this expedition, are in
the place or the environs ; there is roily the Bth regi-
vient of the line at Marseilles, and the 3d Chasseurs
at Tarac,con, ready to march at the first order.—
Precurseur.

At a moment when a pretended telegraphic de-
sratch announced at Paris, that the Dey of Algiers
bad P t length accepted the proposals of France, that
Regency, whose sentiments had been so strangely
mistaken, sent from their lurking places a countless
-,warm of. corsairs, which lolow cover the Mediter-
ranean; there never were more privateers, and con-
sequently our navigation was never less safe than it
is now. Thirty vessels sailed on the 3d of April
for the Straits, under convoy of his Majesty's brig
the Cuirassear. All the ship-news which we have
~,reeived for some days past, and the reports which
er:mit
31eiers, agree
in static; that that Government is making consider-
able preparations, which announce the intention of
raking a vigorous defence. Accordingly, there
never was less probability of peace with Algiers
than under the present circumstances. It would be
time, however, as well for the honour of France as
for the interest of our commerce, that Government
hould take hostile measures against the Barbary
Power.—Eciro du Midi.
