HIS MAJESTY'S SPEECH.

EXPRESS FROM LISBON.

(From the Second Edition of the Morning Herald.)

We have just received by express, a letter from
our Correspondent at Lisbon, from which we
extract the following :

LISBON, OCT. 10, 1829.—The greatest confu-
sion now pervades this city; the last remaining
hold of public credit has been shaken, and all
those who are engaged in commerce, or employed
by the Government, are puzzled—bewildered—and
know not what to do, for a sort of panic has struck
all classes.

There has within two days been a run upon► the
Bank, which however by the aid of an increased
number of paying clerks, has hitherto contrived to
meet the demand; the paper money is obliged to be
received half as currency, which when Miguel ar-
rived was at a discount, all persons having remit-
tances to make or expecting payments are alarmed
for fear the discount will rise to 40 per cent. or more.
The Exchange on England was on Thursday at
Of, and to-day 44i.
Saturday night nine o'clock.—lt is stated, but re-
quires confirmation, that by a despotic order of
Miguel and his Ministers, the Bank is to close on
Monday next. Exchange on England 44ii mer-
cantile; Government paper-money from 30 to 31
discount.

Letters have been received from Oporto to the
sth October, they do not bring any news of conse-
quence, the paper currency there was at a discount
of 28i per cent.
_ _ _

Private accounts from Lisbon state that the dis-
appearance of Queluz, the former favourite of Don
Miguel, wan the general topic of conversation there.
Persons well informed say that he was embarked on
board the corvette Princeza Real, which sailed im-
mediately for the Mediterranean, and it is thought he
Is gone to Rome, the place of his exile. Assassina-
tions and robberies still continue to a great excess
in the above Capital. The 17 persons who com-
posed the crew of the American vessel taken before
Terceira have arrived in Lisbon, and have been scut
to the prison Limeiro as criminals.
The brig Francis, of New York, on entering
Cadiz after it was declared a free port, was charged
300 dollars, tonnage duty, &c.; for Gibraltar the
same accommodatign might be obtained for about
seven dollars.

Letters from Smyrna have been received this
morning to the 20th ult. Despatches from
Admiral MALCOLM had reached there with in-
telligence of the conclusion of peace.

Papers from Antigua to the 7th September
state, that a petition to the Governor, Sir
PATRICK Ross, praying him to use his pre-
rogative to prevent the carrying into effect of the
vote of the House of Assembly, of 2501. to the
Judges to meet their expenses in opposing Mr.
OSBORN'S appeal to the King in Council, on
the-subject of his disbarment, had been general.

BUCHAREST, SEPT. 30.
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
According to letters from Adrianople the Treaty
of Peace was ratified by the Sultan on the 20th of
September. In consequence, the Turkish troops
are at this moment evacuating Ghiurgevo, which is
going to be occupied by the Russians. The Rus-
sian army will begin its retreat on the 28th of Oc-
tober, and first of all it will evacuate Adrianople,
the Porte having engaged to make by that time the
first payment of the commercial indemnity. It is said,
that the Russian garrisons of Sizeboli and Bonrgas
will occupy those places for another year, even
though the army shall have repassed the Balkan.
Since we have become certain that the principa-
lities will have an independent Government, and
will cease to be subject to the arbitrary dominion of
the Ottoman Porte, universal joy prevails, and
landed property increases in value. The whole
attention of the two principalities is directed to the
choice of the new Hospodars ; and it may be sup-
posed that the Russian Governor-General will have
no inconsiderable influence on their nomination.

We expect th• return of the foreign agents, who
left their posts during the war. Turkish Commis-
sioners have arrived in Servia, to concert with Prince
Alulosch respecting all the points relative to the five
districts, which were mentioned also in the Treaty of
Akermann. The Prince will afterwards go to the
Russian head-quarters. We hear no more of the
march of Gen. Geismar, who was said to have fol-
lowed the Pacha of Scutari in his expedition. The
organization of troops in the Principalities will now
become an object of serious attention—their strength,
it is said, will be raised to 14,000 men.

Foreig❑ Oats 13s. 9d. per quarter.

Mr. OWEN, who has just returned to Eng-
land, after a long and arduous course of travel-
ling through North, and some parts f otlth
America, states, that after repeated communica-
tions with many of the influential Members of
Congress in the United States, he found that
they were willing to do every thing in their power
to promote his plans of improvement, by means
of which a more friendly and enlightened com-
munication would be kept up between England
and America, and the state of society in the two
countries be materially benefitted. In the course
of his journies through America he met with the
Rev. ALEX. CAMPBELL, with whom he en-
gaged in a long and comprehensive discussion,
which " was attended by Clergymen of every
persuasion, and from persons of almost every
state in the Union, some of whom came upwards
of 1,500 miles to be present." The particulars
of this public discussion, Mr. OWEN states,
will be speedily given to the world, and trans-
lated into the " French, German, and Spanish
languages." While at Mexico, Mr. OWEN was
offered by the President VICTORIA, in the
name of the Executive power, the jurisdiction
of a territory, 150 miles broad, along the
whole line of frontier between the republic
of Mexico and the United States. This terri-
tory Mr. OWEN means to have governed under
the laws and regulations which he has prepared,
so soon as some previous necessary arrangements
have been completed between himself and the
Mexican Administration. On the whole, he
seems perfectly satisfied with the hold, which his
principles seem likely to obtain in the New
World.

Mr. CONTINI, a King's Messenger, arrived
at the Colonial-office last night with despatches
from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, Lord High Com-
missioner of the lonian Islands. The despatches
are dated the sth instant. Mr. CONTINI was
also the bearer of despatches from Mr. DAW..
KINS, Consul-General at Greece.

On Thursday the Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE
arrived at the Great Globe Hotel, Cloumel, on his way
to Knocklofty and Cork. Mr. WALLACE, of Waterford,
Collector of Customs, arrived at the same hotel on Friday,
on his way to the Lakes of Killarney. —Dublin Morning
Register.

Yesterday being the first day of the Westmin-
ster Sessions, the Court sat to swear in the Grand Jury

The Grantham Reading Association, which
is so valuable an acquisition to the town, we find is now
most respectably supported. Institutions of this nature
tend to the improvement generally of society; and where
the rate of expense, as in this instance, is moderate, its
value is much increased ; and we hope when the annual
meeting takes place, to hear that the number of sub-
scribers have considerably Increased.—Newark Times.

CITY, TWELFE 0' CLOCK.

The Express from Paris this morning having
brought the ratification of the Treaty of Adrianople
on the 20th September, by the Sultan, and that the
Rusfian army will commence its retreat on the 28th
Oct., as well as the improvement of the French
Funds, this information has had a favourable in-
fluence in the Consol market. Consols, which left
offyesterday at 90i 91 for the account, and 90a
for money, opened at the same price this morning,
but at present they may be quoted at 91 for money,
and 911/3 for the account, and investments for money
still continue.

In the Foreign market little doing as yet, but the
Brazil stock continues a favourite fund for invest-
ment, owing to a report that the Brazilian Minister
is:maturing some financial plan, which will prove of
great benefit to the country.
Letters from Stockholm of the 29th of September
say that the States have been exclusively occupied
in the Budget, and the salaries of persons high in
office have been augmented, that of Minister of Jus-
tice from 5,849 to 8,000 rix dollars, the Minister
of Foreign Affairs from 6,849 to 9,000 rix dollars,
and that of Councillor of State from 4,282 to 6,000
rix dolla►s.
Letters from Prevesa arrived at Corfu state the
death of General Dentzel on the 15th August ; he
has been succeeded by General Church, who is ap-
pointed Generalissimo of the Greek troops.

The Consol Market is not quite so good as in
the early part of the morning, when Consols were
at 91* k for the Account; since which a slight re-
action has taken place, and must be quoted to the
present time at 91 to for Money, and 911 sellers,
for the Account. The Commissioners purchased
at 91i in Consols.
A broker bought 100,000 3f per cents. for a
Scotch Bank, in the early part of the day.
In the Foreign Market the chief business doing
is in Brazil, Danish, and Spanish stocks, which are
improving.

Some persons have imagined, from the post-
pouement of his MAJESTY'S visit to Brighton, that it
was never the intention of the KING to visit the place this
year. We can positively affirm that such is not the case,
having the authority to that effect of individuals to whom
his MAJESTY was pleased to express his intention.—
Brighton Gazette.

His MAJESTY has given orders that the cyg,
nets, five in number, which were hatched in the summer
on the river in St. James's Park, should be removed—two
of them, a male and female, to Virginia Water; and the
other three to a beautiful piece of water at the back of his
new Palace, at Pimlico.—Brighton Gazette.

The Rev. HOMPESCH MASSINGBERD, Of

The New General Post receiving-house ad-
joining Northumberland House, having been found to oc-
casion inconvenience by the frequent stoppages it caused in
that narrow part of the Strand, the front has been moved
back three or four feet within the house, so that persons
having to transact business will stand under cover, and
cause no obstruction.

MA HOM ET'S PA RAD I SE.—Sillee the activity
displayed by the New Police, as drovers or caterers for the
citizens, the City has been called 111A11031ET'S Paradise.
SoLomow, in all his glory, was not arrayed as Fleet-street
now is, in point of concubines. The Loan MATOR and
the whole Court of Aldermen are happy beyond all the
rest of the kingdom in choice—revelling in the enjoyment
of peace and plenty. " It is a poor shepherd (says the
adage) that can count his sheep." Not so his Lordship;
or if he is, as we hope, an Irishman, we should say, the
Padishah of the City. As this Civic honour is now
going begging—the llayor Elect having, we understand,
signified an inclination to decline the office—it seems to us
that in the Treaty between the Russians and Turks, it
might, under circumstances, have broken the SULTAN'S
fall considerably to have appointed him. Since the break-
ing up of Harems in Turkey, and the dispersion of Houris,
it is not clear that he would not have been here quite at
home surrounded by his family; and no one knows better
how to keep them quiet and orderly. But, seriously, the
City appears to be very ill used by drovers of all sorts—
they get nothing but bad meat ; there are, as far as we
hear, no " wet'uns" anywhere else.—Morning Chronicle
BATH AND BRISTOL RAILWAY.—The
following is an extract from a pamphlet, now is the press,
on the subject of the proposed Rail-road from Bristol to
Bath, containing Mr. TUCKER'S report thereon But
suppose we confine ourselves to passengers only, I contend
there is every reason to believe that subscribers, even if the
charge was only the mo,lerate of one penny per mile, es-
pecially considering the probable effect of the intended
bridge at St. Vincent's rocks, which will most likely be
one of the most extraordinary structures of the kind in the
world, and will probably attract the attention of not only
the curious and scientific of this empire, but of all of that
description in Europe and America, who may have the
opportunity of visiting this country. To imagine the ex-
traordinary effects of Rail-roads, only let us conceive a com-
munication of the kind from hence to London, and that
trauelling on it might be effected with safety at the rate
of 20 miles per hour, (no impossible event) a merchant
might leave Bristol in the morning, breakfast in London,
have six or seven hours to transact business in, and return
to his family in the evening, possibly at less than half the
expence of one journey to London per coach. At all events
I think it is clearly proved that the journey to Bath may
be effected
parties of pleasure in Bath may pay their morning visits to
with perfect safety in an hour; so that the
Clifton with little or no fatigue or inconvenience, and
without much abridging their usual arrangements at home;
• so likewise. may the visitors with the same ease pay their
morning .visits to their friends in Bath."-Bath Chronicle.

Mr. TICICNER said be rose to present a petition from
Mr. 13Iachard, which related to a most important subject
connected with the city of London. It wee la r_pecting
the high price of coals.—(l-lear.)—A short time since he
(Mr. T.) had called the attention of the Court to this sub-
ject, and the combination that existed between the great
coal-owners of Newcastle and Sunderland. Ile now rose
to redeem the pledge he had then given, viz. to bring
the subject before the Court. It was tmnecessary to
go into the particulars of the combination that had
been fully brought before the public, by committees
appointed by Parliament. It was a well known
fact, that the owners agreed between themselves what price
should be demanded at the pit's mouth, and a Committee
was annually formed to apportion the supply that should
he dealt out to the public. In 1795, a Newcastle chal-
dron of coals was only 18s. At the present time 365.
was demanded.--(I-fear, hear.)—Yet the pits were much
improved. The principal actors in this combination, were
the. most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry and Lord
Durham.—(blear. ).—Such was the regular organization
of the monopoly formed for the purpose of increasing the
price of this necessary article (coals), that besides com-
mittees and other officers, secretaries, at a yearly
salary, were kept at Newcastle and Sunderland.
In such a state of things, surely the Court were
called upon to do all in its power to suppress
such a monopoly; and he was of opinion the best plan to
adopt for that purpose would be to obtain another supply,
by opening a rival shop.—(Hear, hear.) There were
other channels where they could be produced of equally as
good a quality as those at Newcastle ; and by this means
the trade would be thrown open to a fair competition,
which, he was convinced, was the only protection the
public had of being supplied at a fair and reasonable price.

After a few observations from Aldermen COPF.LA lin and
WAITIIMAN, the petition was ordered to be referred to a
Committee.

The Ballot on the election of Coroner and Secondary
commenced at two o'clock, and had not concluded when
our Reporter left.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
DROWN V. DUNCAN.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr.
Ca.mrnELL and Mr. ALDERSON) stated that this was an
action to recover 3,307/. The plaintiffs are distillers in
Scotland. A Mr. Gurney was appointed their agent
for the sale of malt whiskey in London. The defendant
gave a guarantee to the plaintiff that he would be answer-
able for any sums of money that Gurney might receive on
their account, as agent. He paid them punctually all the
sums which he received for two years ; but at length be-
came deficient to the above armount, which they now
sought to recover. It appeared that the plaintiffs were
five in number.

Mr. PoLnocic (with whom was Mr. CHITTY) con-
tended that the plaintiffs could not recover, as the wit-
nesses proved the plaintiffs' firm to consist of sometimes
three, and sometimes four, but never five. Either the
case must fiil on that account, or on account of (if they
really were five) their not having complied with the 6th
of Geo. IV., chap. 8, sec. 7, which clearly made all the
whiskey they sent to Mr. Glenny liable to seizure.
Lord TENTERDEN recommended them to make a special
case of it, to which they ultimately agreed, and a verdict
was entered fur the plaintiffs, with leave for the defendant
to move for leave to enter a nonsuit.
