PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

LISBON, JUNE 16.--. The packet not sailing until
this evening, I. have an opportunity of informing
you of the news of this meriting. -
The John VI. is off the bar, and has been for-
bidden to enter the Tagus by the English brig of
war. Site remains outside. The Galatea, British
frigate has &rived this morning; neither has she nor
the Medina, on Saturday, saluted the Castle of
Belem, which is,. I believe, the etiquette. The
Procris, brig of war, sailed this morning early for
Oporto.
The news from the army of Oporto is, that their
delay was caused by waiting for orders from the
Provisional Government, " but when we go down,"
say they, "we take care to go with force." On
Thursday night last a 1-arty of the soldiers who
escaped from Peniche attacked tkc militia stationed
at Alcobaca. This may have given rise to the re-
port of the expedition from Figueita to San Mar-
mite. On 'the 9th and 11th, there were skirmishes
between the advance posts. On the night of the
I 1 th the troops at Leiria were under arms and
greatly agitated. A gentleman who has just
arrived from Leiria , told me that, all -- their
hopes were founded on Don Miguel's- going up the
country: A bed for him was prepared at the Bi-
shOp's Palace in Leiria, and at the convent of Alco-
blea, but he will not go, for there are vessels prepar-
ing in the river. The P inceza Real, a Portuguese
frigate, on board of Which Don Miguel has collected
all the diamonds and valuable property of the Crown,
is now bending her sails in the liver. All think
Don Miguel will attempt to escape in her ; but this
is a most unlucky moment, for there are three Eng-
lish frigates and two brigs, and a Portuguese man-of-
war, to oppose his passage. Report circulates that
he is almost in despair.
* * * * still at his * * work.—
Although he must have known his intrigues cannot
succeed, -he still corresponds, by his agents, with
the old Queen—who boasts still that her party is
acting under the intlnenee of the Duke of Wel-
lington.
The conduct ,of Don Miguel's agents and of the
Apostolictx, to the British residents, is monstrous.—
Mr. William Young, an English gentleman, married,
and resident at Leiria, has, after fourteen years'
living among the people there, been arrested,
thrown for three days into a dark dungeon, re-
moved from thence to the gaol privy, where he was
kept five days and nights—his life called for by the
mob and the murderers, and this all because the
Apostolics called him a heretic and a spy. The true
reason is, his being an Englishman. He has been
brought this morning to the Castle of Lisbon,where
he is confined. His life, during his journey, was
frequently in great danger. He owes his safety to
the kindness of the serjeant, who, with six dragoons,
were his guard.
I have this moment been informed that I am to
be arrested, too, very soon. Should you not re-
ceive letters, you must conclude Inc to be in a dun-
geon, for describing the state of this country truly
to you. One satisfaction will be, that I shall not be
kept there long.
In the Gazette of this morning, which was pub-
lished at three o'clock, you will fired somestatements
respecting the Students who had been accused of
murdering the Professors near Condeixa. They are
it is said, to be put into what is called the " Ca-
pella" to-marrow—after their sentmee—and five to
be hanged on Friday next.
In the other news Hot much reliance is to be
placed.

The. Lords of the Treasury have granted
permission to warehouse foreign goods aeChepstow, and it
will be officially announced as a bonded port in a few days.
This place is a port by nature, and with a flow of tide
higher than any other port in Europe.—Hereford Journal.
We are most happy to learn there is a strong
probability that the Lords' Committee will report in favour
of a duty on foreign wool. We have even heard that so
convincing Was the case of the agriculturists, that only two
Members of the Committee stood out against the propo-
sition.—Briyhton Gazette.
Mr. TIERNEY was in the House of Commons
last night, the first time that the Right Hon. Gentleman
has been in the House for a long time. We looked very
thin and weak, and evidently walked with diminished
strength. He was most cordially bailed by his friends in
different parts of the House. • • •
CLARE ELECTION.--MAJOR AV-NAMARA
DECtINF.S.-ENNIs.-On Sunday the display of public
feeling in this town was unexampled. A most.tremen-
dam+ meeting, in numbers and in spirit, took place in the
pariSh Chapel. After the last mass, the Clergyman an-
nounced that Mr. LA.WLY.SS was then present, who had a
camn►nnication to make to the congregation. That Gentle-
man was then received with immense enthusiasm. lie

stated his object in coming to Ennis, the nature of his com-
mission, and the promise of support from the Catholics as.
sembled in the Corn Exchange. He addressed the assembly
for about fifteen minutes, in an animated and eloquent
manner, and proposed an adjournment until three
o'clock, when ho expected O'GoastAti MAHON from
Dublin. At that hour the people again assembled,
and FRA NCI3 BLAKE Foci ER was moved to the Chair. Mr.
Lawttss then entered into long and' able address, in
which- he was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic Omer-
ing.' O'GORMAN MA HON's approach was then announced;
he was chaired in by the townsmen ; he spoke a very able
address, in which' his countrymen greatly cheered him.
Then the Bev. Mr. MURrRY, of Corofin, came forward,
and in a most powerful appedl—powerful in its reasoning
and its uncompromising spirit—committed himself with
the people ; he vindicated the character of the priesthood
in an able manner. Mr. STEELE spoke with great effect.
The meeting terminated at six o'clock. The hopes of
'limn' FITZGERALD were laid prostrate. Major W.NA-
MARA has declined standing; but to-morrow will produce
a candidate, to which there will he no objection. Who_
ever is the popular candidate will succeed.--Frcenton's

LONDON.
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1828.

The Gazette de France of Monday gives it
ridiculous report ghat the rebels of Oporto.
have laid down their arms to Don MiGuEL. If
this were so, they might ask themselves
why they were taken ,up. The REIS EFFENDI''"
letter, whether real or fictitious, asking the rattan
of the English and French Ambassadors, will
be found in another column. If it be not
authentic, it is a good imitation.

From a Fiench Paper, received this morning,
we have the following characteristic speCimen of
Don MIGUEL'S mercy. He is making sad pro-
vision for his entry into Spain—the shades or
murdered patriots will give him a gory welcome-
Would they could imitate the example of "Alen'
the Brave :"

- - -
" We learn by an extraordinary conveyance, that Don
Miguel has sent to Spain the unfortunate refugees detained
in the prisons of Portugal. These unfortunates have beef'
put on based a vessel and sent to a port in Spain. Amore
them are several deputies of the Cortes, and some distill'
};niched officers and other persons who have been or"
(teamed to suffer death in Spain, who had taken refuge
in Portugal. It was reported that Don Miguel was to,
march against the Constitutionalists. No doubt he will
leave Lisbon with a view to retire to Elvas, to be eleaf
Spain, and the Queen is to follow him secretly.
There has been a division amongst the Spabiris
Ministry in regard to the affairs of Portugal.i'
Calotnarde wished that the Portuguese refugees &bald 1*
sent out of Spain, but the other Ministers would not con'
tent, fearing that it would give offence to England.
" MAnnin, it:we 12.—0 n the 7th. arrivesl bere 3
courier, with despatches from Don Miguel, demanding
immediate assistance. They were laid before the Count't
of State, who decided that Spain should not interfere in
the affairs of Portugal until they, were informed ef the
disposition of the other European Powers. The Governor
of Badajos has received orders to let pass into the Swish
territory all emigrants from Portugal. We are mord
that the English Ambassador has made energetic re-
monstrances on this subject to the Spanish Cabinet. It
letter from Florence, of the Sth of June, states that thj.e'
Pope has refitted to Austria the occupation of Ancona a"'
other fortified places."

The .Allgcmcine Zeitung of the 19th in st'
states that when HALIL BEY left Constantinople
for the army the SULTAN accompanied hie'
part of the way, and cheered him with the folio,w'
ing words at parting :—" Depend on me; llt
case of need I shall follow you." For the re'
sent it was resolved that the SULTAN Should re-
main in the capital, having 25,090 discipho'aeod
troops to defend it. There were about 72,
men only on the Danube, including. the Garri7
sons of the Fortresses—a number wholly_ inca-
pable of making any efficient resistance to the
overwhelming forces of Russia. Indeed the
chief men of Constantinople seem to be as appre-

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th iot.
received this morning, gives an official contraajc‘
tion to the report of a Treaty of Alliance between
Sardinia and Austria :
