PARIS, OCT. 23.—The,English Journals state that Mr.
:Canning is expected at Dover to-morrow. The Hon.
Secretary for Foreign Mika is .not to leave this capital
until to,tnorro*
Thd Journal de to Mediterra4e states, that Lord Coch-
rane arrived at Marseilles on the 13th in a schooner, from
Malta, and that he set oil again on Monday for Geneva,
where he intends to join his family. The
.Gazette of
,Lyons mentions that Lord Cochrane spent the 19th at that
city, in his road from Marseilles to Paris.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
MADRID, OCT. 12.—Not only has M. de Souza ob-
tained restitution of the arms and Accoutrements of the
Portuguese deserters, but he has prevailed, moreover, upon
our Government to give satisfaction for a kind of triumph
exhibited by the Portuguese deserters at the depot of
Villa Nueva, in honour of the anniversary of the Infant
Don Miguel, by carrying round his portrait in triumph,
with cries of " Long live Miguel, King of Portugal!"
General Silveira, quitted the capital on the 10th, in the
direction of Valencia, that is to say, by the road that leads
to France. The order, by virtue of which the General
quitted Madrid, enjoins him to leave the kingdom as soon
as possible. It even appears that Police agents were sent
after him, to watch him, and compel him to continue his
journey, should he attempt to stop any where without rea-
sonable cause. _ _ _

Mr. Lamb sets out to-morrow for the Escurial, along
with M. de Souza, who still continues to negociate,
although not invested with any political powers. As to
Mr. Lamb, it is asserted that he goes to the Escurial to
press for an answer to the last Notes which he gave in to
Mr. Salmon, to which the latter is in no haste to reply.
This report does not,appear devoid of all foundation, for
the English Embassy has .four couriers in waiting, to set
out with despatches.
Moscow, SEPT. 27.—The supper given on the 224, by
the Duke of Devonshire, at which the Imperial Family
were present, surpassed every thing of the kind previously
given. There were sixteen tables, at each of which there
were five different courses for four hundred people. They
were decorated with flowers and figures formed of sugar,
which were changed at every course, for others equally
elegant and curious. The gold drid silver plate ornament-
ed with the arms of Englund, Qll which the supper was
served, nod whose elegant workmanship was conformable
to its intrinsic value, is estimated at, morn than a million
of silver rubles.
Nuts, OCT. 22.—..-On leaving the Assize Court yester-
day, Mr. Canning proceeded' to the Hall of the Pas.-
Perdu'. He stopped before the monument erected to the
virtuous Malesherbes. M. Bosio, sculptor to the King,
by whom the two statues, placed on each side of the por-
trait at the foot of Malesherbes, was prisented to Mr.
Canning, who requested the statues. to be uncovered, and
addressed some very complimentary speeches to M. Bosio.

EXTRACTS FROM PRIVATE LETTERS.

LISBON, OCT. 13.—The General of the Algarves MM.'
munieates from Villa Real, that on the Nth instant, at five
o'clock in the morning, there appeared befolt him a depu-
tation of three officers of the 14th regiment, intimating.
that the battalion of Cacadores, No. 4, had arrived at the
town of Tavira, where a regiment was already formed to
proclaim the Infant Don M)guel King of Portugal ; that
the General was invited to take the command of the,
troops, and he refused ; that the said battalion, at last, ar-
rived, and its commandant again invited the General to do
the same thing, and that the General then formed the re-
solution of retiring on that city.
It is to be observed that the plan is to remain in that
kingdom (the Algarves), and to form a regency. It ap-
pears that none but the troops have taken any share in the
movements.
On the Bth the smile General states, that the junta of
the intrusive Government at Tavira had ordered the ,
Go-
vernor of Villa Real to take the oath to the new King,
which was done; that at Tavira the greatest tranquillity'
reigned, without any enthusiasm At the change of the poli-
tical system
; that the regiment Of artillery, No. 2, did not
wish to join the factions, on which account all the infautry
were preparing to march for Faro; to force it to „join them.
The Marquis of Abrantes. hail arrived at Sagres, and had
disembarked.

On the 10th the General communicates that be had
arrived at Mertole, which he bad occupied as his head-
quarters. •
The General who commands in Tras-os-Montes,
wrote from Chaves on the 66 instant, that on the sth, at
six o'clock in the evening, he had received notice that the
Marquis of Chaves had marched from Villa Real, at half-
past six in the morning, with the greatest precipitation,
and that in that city the alarm had been sounded. In
consequence, be took the precaution to order officers in his
confidence to observe the destination of the Marquis, and
sent a strong 'detachment of the, 15th Infantry towards
Villa Ponca. On the.6th, at seven o'clock in the morn-
ing, he received a despatch from Major Menezes, comi.
mending the detachment of Cavadores 9th, in Villa. Real,
in which it was stated that
the said Marquis, endeavouring
to seduce by 'promises the principal, guard commanded by
the Serjeant Domingo Bernardo, to proclaim the Infant
Don Miguel King of Portugalr was repulsed, and charged
at:the point of the bayonet. On this he retired, leaving
the town in quietnesa. On the .10th,. in the morning, I
learnt that the traitor had effected his escape into Spain,
accompanied only by an Ensign.of cavalry (the 9th), and
two peasants of mean condition, entering Spain by Galicia.
The General issued proclamations with this news to the
towns of the province,
and apprised all the authorities of
the fact.

COPY OP A LETTER FROM AN ENGLISH MERCHANT, COM-

IitINICATED FROM LISBON.

Sir,---I have received a letter from Mr. James Acworth,
a British merchant, established at Bragariza, ill which he

Spanish troops entered the Portuguese town of Quadramil,

p i
_A
and forcibly took possession of your naves 67 merchandise
of his, that he had sent there under the cafe of two
Spaniards, named Francisco dos Santos and Francis&
Romeo, conveying the two men at the same time into the
prlson tif Puebla de Senabria.
In the hope of tittle. goods being restored to him, he
requests me to deliver to yoU a cBp W. hint application to
the Portaguese authorities, in which (leaving td others the
political question that the violation of the Portuguese teV.,
ritory involves), he entreats them to take those measures,
which the honour of the Portuguese nation, and the trea-
ties existing (licit Britain and Portugal, as well
as those between Portugal and Stifildi Must dictate, to
obtain the restitution of his property, and the ttitase of

the two Spaniards from prison:.
I beg leave to enclose the aforesaid documents, to
iihiCh sill /did tifinexed a copy of a certificate, granted by the
Jadge, of the Custoin-ho'iti df Braganza, that the same

Of Mr: AsWarthi paid the duties, and despatched or cleared
th sarde gacids for Quadramil; and that Quadramil is in
the province of Tras-os.Mcintes, in the kingdom of Portugal.
Let me add Mr. Asworth's entreaty, that you will
takrsuch steps with the Portuguese Government as you
may deem most expedient to obtain his property, and to
afford him security for the future.

rived at Falmouth, bringing mails from the Mediterra-
nean. She left Cali on the 16th, and Malta on the
25th September ; Gibraltar 9n the 14th, and Cadiz on
the 16th instant.

_ .
The Norton and Dove Packets have also artlieil at

the 6th of September, and Pernambuco the 14th.
The latter left Buenos Ayres the 6th of August, Monte
Video the 10th, and Rio de Janeiro the 30th.

BUENOS AYRES, JULY 17.
The Junta of the Oriental province, considering the
importance of the presence of General Lavalleja, with the
army which will shortly have to open a campaign that must
be decisive, has decreed, " That the Governor D. Juan
Antonio Lavalleja,' shall delegate the government of the
province to D. Joaquim Suarez, who shall be invested
with the same powers, and liable to the responsibility as
the Governor, so long as General Lavalleja shall be in
the National service during the present war."
JULY 20.—The General in Chief of the army of opera-
tion marched from Jose del Uruguay on the 4th of this
month, and arrived at the Durazno on the 13th, where he
has fixed his head-quarters.
JULY 22.:--It being necessary to the public service, to
increase the army, two new regiments of cavalry of the line
(the Bth and 9th) are to be formed, and a 3d battalion of
Cacxdores.

JULY 25.
On the 22d, a convoy sailed for the Banda Oriental,
with troops, accoutrements, &c., for the regiment of
artillery, five officers, with recruits, and clothing for the
army ; and on the 23d another convoy. It is probable
that they have by this time reached the east side.
General Don Fructuosa Rivera left the Vacas, yesterday
morning, with a passport for the General-in-Chief, and
landed at Las Conches. At five o'clock he had not reached
this capital :we do not know the object of his Y
comi27ng.
JUL.
On the 24th in the evening, some English amateurs
performed, in their own language, the comedy of " The
Mountaineers," for the benefit of the wounded belonging
to the squadron, and the widows of those who had fallen.
There were a great many English ladies and gentlemen
present, end the theatre was crowded, as we -have very
seldom seen it. General Brown was welcomed by the
audience with acclamations which he very well merited,
though we era certain they put his modesty to the proof.
Jut.v 29.

We now learn that D. Fructuosa Rivera has no other
reason for coming to this capital than his wish to pay his
respects to the President of the Republic.

AUGUST 1.

On the 29th, in the morning, 18 enemy's ships appear-
ed in sight of this port, viz. :-2 frigates, 5 corvettes, 4
brigantines, 6 schooners, and a diate. At seven o'clock in
the morning, the larger vessels of the national squadron
got under weigh, and at ten opened their fire on the
enemy. The action lasted an hour, and a half. At day-
break, on the 30th, the two squadrons were separated, and
the enemy offered battle in a place where he could more
safely manoeuvre all his vessels. General Brown did not
wait long, and at half-past six a battle commenced, which
was maintained on both sides with equal vigour. An im-
mense crowd covered the banks of the river, and witnessed
the valiant deeds of the soldiers of the Republic On this
memorable day. The action was very sanguinary, and the
loss of the enemy undoubtedly much greater than aura.
General Brown in his despatch says, we have sought,
overtaken, fought, but not yielded to the enemy's ships.—
Permit me to inform your Excellency that those of the
nation are free. I regret to say that we have many killed
and wounded. Among the' latter is my brave Captain
Espora.
The Twenty-fifth of May is completely disabled. I
will send you, as soon as possible, a list of the killed and
wounded.

I remain, &c.
WILLIAM BROWN.

The Commandant-General of the Marine, in an official
despatch, says—" The enemy's squadron, to the number
of 23 vessels, has steered to the E. S. E., having in tow a
frigate, a corvette, and a brigantine, which have lost part
of their masts."

were 14 killed and 23 wounded, and on board the other
vessels, 4. killed and 7 wounded. It is hoped that the
wounds of the brave Captain Espora, though severe, will
not prove mortal.)
The English ,packet arrived here on the evening of the
Ist,- with news from Paris :of the 16th, and from London
of the 27th May. The Captain of the packet went on
board the Metroya, and was informed by General Norton,
that on board that ship there six killed and 20 wounded;
among the latter was Mr. Grenfell, the second General,
loss
who was mortally wounded, but he would not tell the
of the other ships. Norton himself declared, that General
Brown had fought with extraordinary valour.
AUGUST 5.
It seems by letters from Chili that the squadron which
was to come to those seas has been delayed longer than
we thought, because the Commissioner had received orders
from our Government to add to it the Lautara, the Mon-
tezuma, and another vessel. setting aside the reasons for
this measure, it may cause irreparable injury. What we
now want Is to reinforce our squadron as much as we can,
since, with the superiority in valour which it has strewn, it
is clear that a little more strength would enable it to obtain
a decisive triumph.: if the reinforcement is delayed three
or four months it may come too late.
RIO DE JANEIRO.
The Diario
now to the 19th of August inclu-
sive is chiefly filled with the debates of the Chamber of
Deputies.
There is no mention of the naval action of the 30th of
july, or of any military events.

The :Morning Chronicle of this day contains a
long and mischievous article upon the. abject of the

annuations and Retiring Allowances of persons who
have spent their lives in the service of the Government,
