r°THER INSURRECTION IN PORTUGAL.

By the arrival of the George the Fourth
St
earner at PortsmoUth in five days, from Lis-
"nn, we received this morning Lisbon Ga-
"es and the 0 Portuguez Paper to the 3d inst.,
and we regret to observe that a fresh act of
rebellion has been committed by the licen-
tlOUs Soldiery in Garrison at Elves. The
Bth Regiment of Infantry,—a Corps which
Mood in high repute--revolted on the 29th
114 t• in the public square, where they had
setnbled, and breaking loose from the corn-
:I!" of their officers they uttered sedi-
lons cries, in which they were joined by the
1.145b1e• As soon as General PINTO DA FRANCE
74/11 of this rebellion he immediately placed
himself
at the head of the 3d Regiment of
ha'valrY, and attacked the refractory troops, but
e' numbers having been increased by the ac-
theseainn of the sth Regiment of Infantry, and
3d Regiment of —Artillery, he found it
eeeessary to retire, forcing one of the gates, and
"ing " Don PEDRO for ever." The Rebels
re thus left in the possession of the fort.—
ee'illing to the dispatch of the General,
r,ever, he attacked them on the 30th, not-
,,,tnstanding• a heavy fire of musketry and
gape was kept up—but the loss sustained
fr; 1114 mentioned. He writes that the sth Re-
rlent did not join the Rebels, but conducted
it',/,,elf in a manner above all praise. He succeeded
1: restoring tranquillity, and we may infer that he
gained possession of the fort, as lie dates his
patch from « Elvas."
-he_ pretext which the Rebels set up for their
thattiti'ii was the arrear of pay, but we suspect
4, °titer causes conspired more to excite their dis-
4te"tion--the gold of the priests has been again
W°PIE, and the secret agency of FERDINAND

ohtgable revolt. But .we are happy to
,ttie that strong measures: were instantly to be
°Pted, for the entire suppression of the mlti'
4lttett:- -Troops wore oraered from Lisbb with
-.BPeed and the command of them 'was to

isfied, and with good reason, at the imbecile

CANDIDO JOSE XAVIER.

LISBON, MAT 1.

We learn from Captain Caldeira, of the 3d Regiment of
Cavalry, arrived this morning from Elves with despatches
for the Government, bringing word of the revolt of the
Sth Regiment of Infantry, (a corps hitherto highly es-
teemed), which on the 29th assemhled in the square at 11
o'clock in the morning, the officers finding it impossible to
restrain the men. This licentious soldiery broke out into
seditious cries, and were followed by the rabble, obliging
the loyal troops to oppose them. As soon as the Brigadier
General Pinto da France was informed of the shameful
proceedings of these rebels, he ordered the 3d Regi-
ment of Cavalry to mount, and putting himself at
the head of it, proceeded to put down the rebellion) but
seeing that the otlr regiment of infantry, and the 3d of ar-
tillery, had taken part in the mutiny, he resolved to retire,
forcing one of the gates, and enthusiastically crying, " Don
Pedro IV. for ever !" This brave officer, Major Raivoso,
Capt. Caldeira, and other worthy officers, forming the
troops without the fortress, continued to repeat these pa-
triotic exclamations, and the enthusiasm of the _soldiers rose
to such a height, that they defied the rebels to come out
and fight them. General Carela was employing the means
which he still possessed to put down the mutiny, which
appears to have commenced with the pretext of their pay
being in arrear.
Some corps of the garrison of this capital have already
received orders to march to Elves, and the command of
them is said to be given to- the brave Conde de Villa Flor.
We know that the English brigade of the Guards,which
was at Cortex°, will pass this night in the Alhandra, and
is to arrive in this capital on the 3d.
The reports, which have been vaguely circulated to-
day, have excited only indignation at the negligence of the
Administration, which has thus left us at the mercy of fac-
tions, without ability to prevent, without power to repress
them—unable to read in the past, or to foresee in the
future.

In the excess of this most just indignation, the public
went so far as to conceive ideas of premeditated treason
—of criminal connivance of certain persons with the
rebellion.

To dispel these (in our opinion) unfounded suspicions,
and to tranquillize those who are alarmed, we have the
satisfaction to announce that His Excellency General
Saldanha has assumed the post of Minister of War.
Providence, which has not yet forsaken us, brings among
us, at this moment of danger, the man who possesses the
confidenCe of the public, and that of the King and of the
Regent. All alarms are dispelled by this happy event. Let
us hope, let all the Portuguese hope, that his Excellency will
assume in the Portuguese Administration the same noble and
resolute attitude that the illustrious Canning has just
opened in that of London, and that he will thus save
the Crown and the nation from the dangers of the
country.
_ _ _

We will add a question :—Was the amnesty which
has just been granted, advisable, proper, or merited?

Red-hot iron retains heat longer than most
substances, but the emission of caloric is un-
attended with sound, whereas burning thorns
are remarkable not only for the limited duration,
but also for the noisy crackling of their com-
bustion. Thus it is with the opposition of
such men as Sir THONfAS LETII RIDGE,
Lord LONDONDERRY, and • Mr. DAWSON,
as compared with the formidable hostility which
was of old displayed against the Executive Go-
vernment by BURKE, by CHATHAM, or by
Fox. These great men, confident in their
might, watched their opportunity for conflict,
and were not afraid of their resentment evapo-
rating by being smothered for a time. There were
gross abuses practised orpermitted by the Ministry
of the day, and against these they waged a deter-
mined and constitutional warfare. -But far dif-
ferent is the conduct of those' now sitting on the
Opposition benches. These men, acting from
Motives of personal pique, and aware that the
nation will have every reason to be satisfied with
the-new. Government, -if they. can -bit have a-
fair trial, come forward on the first day of the
meeting of Parliament, and in the most irregu-
lar manner, interrupt the business, for the sake
of shewing how bitterly they regret the loss of
place, and of making the most incoherent at-
tacks on the new Administration. Not satisfied
with this, they want to bring on the Catholic Ques-
tion, which they had all their lives been opposing,
under the besotted impression that their wishing
to do so was not of itself a sufficient reason to
put off, and that such childishness could have
the effect of entrapping those acute and enlight-
ened men who are the sincere and only friends
of injured Ireland.

But to keep up our metaphor of the thorns,
we really think the Opposition flame is nearly out.
To be sure, Lord LONDONDERRY may give
another and an improved (if that were possible)
version of his speech, where he so solemnly and
unnecessarily disclaimed all knowledge of the
subject ; but the more sensible Ultras will
be giving orders for their travelling carriages,
and either at the watering places of this
Kingdom, or in Foreign Countries, will dis-
play to wondering crowds the moving spectacle
of fallen greatness. For what could be more
moving than to see Lord ELDON surrounded
on the Pier of Calais by a mob of French Com-
missioners (Anglici porters) and Custom-house
Officers, dragging away his Lordship's baggage,
and creating in the mind of the Noble sufferer a
very low estimate of Gallic law or equity. Or imagi-
nation may present us with a sketch of Lord WEST-
MORELAND, treating for a fast-trotting Flanders
dray, whose high action would propel his Lordship
very much after the fashion of a shuttlecock—
the animal and its owner being alike unconscious
of 'the dignity of the intended burden.
Mr. CANNING may indeed triumph at the
prospect before him. Supported by all but the
lovers of darkness, and most feebly opposed iby
them, • his Government must daily gain
strength, and before the close of the
present Session, we venture to predict that he
will be as firmly seated as any Minister who
ever presided over the Councils of this nation.

The Paris Papers of Sunday and the Etoile
of Monday morning reached us last night. The
Etoile states that a Royal Ordinance dated the
28th of April orders 60,000 men to be raised
out of the class of 1826. Neither the cause of
this levy, however, nor the reason why the Or-
dinance was not promulgated more immediately
after its date, is assigned. It probably has some
connection with the recent measure of disbanding
the National Guard, although the Etoile classes
under Lies of the Day, an assertion made by
the Journal des Debats that the Garrison of
Paris is to be increased by 40,000 men. Such
a measure certainly does -not seem called for by
the state of the French Capital, but the Ministry
may be in possession of better information rela-
tive to the feelings of the good Citizens than
the several papers afford, and may have reason to
believe that the silence which has been preserved
in the Chambers on the subject implies any thing

hut indifference at this act which has so-griev-
ously wounded the national pride of the Pari-
sians.

The Foreign Intelligence in these papers pos-
sesses but little interest. Extracts are, however,
given in another column.

The Thanks of the House of Commons were
last night voted nein. con. to our Gallant Officers
and Men who were employed in the arduous
and successful operations in India against Bhurt-
pore, and in the territories of the King of AVA.
The question was very properly confined to the
conduct of the Military and Naval Forces, for
the purpose of insuring that unanimity in, the
vote of Thanks which their skill, perseverance,
and gallantry, so highly deserved, and which
might have been interrupted, if the conduct of the
Indian Government had been mixed up with the
motion. The Thanks of Parliament are, under
all circumstances, highly prized by the Army
and Navy, but the value of this mark of national
gratitude to our brave Officers and Men is greatly
enhanced when it is known that no dissentient
voice had been mingled with the expression of
public thanks. Such was the case last night,
for, on this occasion, even Mr. HUME voted in
favour of the motion, and, indeed, seconded it.
In separating, however, the conduct of the
Forces employed on these services from that of
the Government, who planned and directed them,
Mr. WYNN distinctly stated to the House, that
he had no intention to imply that there was any
deficiency on the part of that Government, but
that, on the contrary, it deserved the highest
credit for the perseverance, judgment, and ability
with which it had acted. The present state of our
several Relations in our Eastern Territories is
itself a proof of the judicious government of Earl
AMHERST.

By a private letter from Lisbon, dated the 2d
of May, we are informed that the greatest ex-
citement prevailed there on account of the mutiny
at Elvas. Similar acts of revolt were appre-
hended at Oporto and other places. There was
a number of wild reports current respecting the
health of the PRINCESS REGENT—the nightly
meetings of the Miguelites—the hopes of the
Queen's Party—incendiary Proclamations cir-
culated throughout the Country, &c.

Dutch Papers have been received this 'morn-
ing to the Bth inst., but they contain nothing of
importance. Count CAPO D'IsTRIA had ar-
rived at Frankfort on the 2d instant, on his way
to St. Petersburgh. During his stay at Paris
he had several conferences with the Russian
Ambassador and the Greek Committee.

His Majesty's packet brig Plover has arrived
with a Brazil Mail. She sailed from Madeira
on the 15th January, from Rio de Janeiro on
the 9th March, and from Pernambuco on the
3d April.
_ _

We have been favoured with the sight of some private
letters, dated the Bth of March, from Rio de Janeiro, they
contain no political intelligence, nor do they make mention
of the proceeding in the war on the Rio Grande frontier,
or River Plate. In a commercial point of view, the ac-
counts are extremely unfavourable ; (he Exchange had
fallen to 38d. per Milrea, and even had been done at 31,
and some bouts& would not give more than 37d., this is
ruinous to all profitable trade. The Ann, one of
the detained English vessels, had been liberated, and the
captors condemned in costs. Their agent had, however,
appealed against this decision, and had embargoed the
vessel under the pretence of procuring further evidence.
The letters from Bahia bring the
,exchange at 48d., and
from Pernambuco 51d.
_From these letters we come to
the conclusion that the Brazil Government are in great
xvaet of money, and are anticipating every source of reve-
nue, by giving orders on the Governors -of the northern
provinces against bills which they take on lames in this
country.

By the George the Fourth steam packet; Gibraltar
Chronicles of the 24th April have been received. They
do not bring, any_ political intelligence :. op the 23d, being
his 31ajesty's BirtlA*Y4 71,ainv watt celebrated by hoist,
ng on the 1n9r144. the,, Royal Standard,, and at twelve
o'clock a Royal salute was fired by the garrison.—
In consequence of the unfavourable state of the wea-
ther, the usual feu de joie, fired on this happy oc-
casion, was omitted, but a succession of royal salutes were
fired by his Majesty's ship Druid, off the New Mole, and
from Green Island on the opposite side of the bay. In the
evening Lady Don gave a splendid ball at the Convent.
The Francis Freeling packet had arrived at Gibraltar
from Falmouth, and sailed on the 22d ult for Malta.

During the present excitement, occasioned by
the discussion of the Free Trade Question, it is
very desirable that the public should be enabled
to refer to correct data on a, subject of such
paramount importance as our Shipping interests,
and we therefore direct their attention to the very
valuable labours of Mr. C. MOREAU, whose tables
are entitled to the highest commendation, not only
for their general accuracy, but for the strict im-
partiality manifested in their construction. Mr.
MonEAu's merits are so well known to the
public that we need only remind them when a
new work appears from his hands, to ensure their
ready attention. In another column, we have
given one bf his tables, which will be found at
once simple and satisfactory.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

Consols opened this morning at 82i 3, but have since
become flat, in consequence of the unfavourable intelligence
received from Portugal by the George the Fourth steamer,
and receded to 82g. India Bonds are 75 6 ; and Ex-
chequer Bills, 47 8 pm. The appearance of the market
is extremely different from yesterday, it being reported that
the Minister has secured an advance of two millions from
the Bank, which will enable him to get on with the
public business without further assistance. The Foreign
Funds have been inactive; Mexican Bonds are 681; Co-
lombian, 331; Portuguese flat and heavy at a small reduc-
tion, being 77i 1. The news from Portugal evidently
chews that the new political institutions are by no means
settled, and but for the presence of the British troops no
dependenCe can be placed on "a' Constitutional Government.

His Royal Highness the LORD HIGH
ADMIRAL held a Levee this forenoon at the
Admiralty, which was attended by above fifty
Flag Officers and Captains of the Royal Navy,
Members of the public Boards, &c.

Early this morning a report was current in
the City, that the Edinburgh steam-vessel had been totally
destroyed by fire, and scuttled, at Blackwall. Upon in-
quiry, however, we are happy to learn, that although she
had been on fire, it bad been put out before any material
damage had been sustained.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
IN THE MATTER OF SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER,

A LUNATIC.

Mr. PHILLISIORE presented a petition, which prayed
the confirmation of the Master's report. The matter had
been referred to th-..! Master to enquire and report, whether
any and what measures ought to be adopted for the dis-
charge of this unfortunate gentleman. The Master had
found that Sir Gregory was detained in the King's Bench
Prison, at the suit of a person called Thomas Wade,
who was reported to be of bad character, his name having
appeared sometime ago in the list of swindlers and sharpers,
and therefore he (the Master) thought it would be proper
to apply to the Court of King's Bench, to set aside the
judgment Wade had obtained against Sir, Gregory; and
that he might be ordered to answer the matters of an affi-
davit. The Committee alleged that they would-be able to
show that instead of Wade having protected Sir Gregory
before his arrest, and while he was under Wade's care or
influence, he had been witnessing the execution of powers
of attorney by Sir Gregory to swindlers and Jews. The
present prayer, therefore, was, that the report might be
confirmed, and that the Committee might be at liberty to
apply to the Court of King's Bench.
His LORDSHIP desired to have the papers to read, inti-
mating that if Mr. Phillhnore did not hear fi orn him to the
contrary, he might apply to the Court of King's Bench to-
morrow ; this intimation he gave to-day, because he should
not be here to-morrow.

HEARING OF MATTERS IN BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. MONTAGU had an application to make in the
matter of "Ex-parte Jones," for an order calling upon a
Solicitor to deliver up the proceedings which he had re-
fused to do upon an application made to him for the pur-
pose. The Learned Counsel did not know .what the
Court's intention was with respect to hearing matters in
bankruptcy; but it would be most convenient to the Bar
to be informed upon this subject. In Lord Rosslyn's time
there was always one day regularly set apart for the hear-
ing of those matters in every week, but that practice had
been subsequently changed.
His LORDSHIP desired to know, provided the Learned
Counsel did not make his application to-day, when he
could make it, according to the practice before Lord Eldon.
Mr. Moisrauu said, at any moment. His Lordship
had been always accessible upon any motion or application
of a pressing nature ; and.very often points of 'importance
suddenly started up in bankruptcies requiring the attention
of the Court.

His LonDsmr was anxious to have the hearing of the
appeals interrupted as little as possible. He had appointed
Wednesdiys for motions, and he now thought he had better
add, that he would hear motions arising out of matters of
bankruptcies on Saturdays, relying on the Bar not bring-
ing forward any motions of the kind but such as they verily
believed to he of a pressing nature, and requiring imme-
diate consideration.

MORRIS V. DAVIS.

- -
Mr. AGAR stated that in this case, his clients had ob-
tained a verdict in their favour at the last Shrewsbury As-
sizes, and that three weeks ago they had received notice
of a motion to be made here for a new trial, but as they
did not sewn inclined to make that motion, he had to apply
for an order to advance the hearing of the cause in this
Court upon further directions, out of which the issue for
trial had been directed.

Mr. Brim) appeared for the defendant. The trial had
lasted two days, and his client had not been able to pre-
pare, by this time, sufficient briefs, &c. to enable his
Counsel to make the motion, nor would he be pre-
pared for a fortnight film this time. But one ob-
jection to the motion's being made just now, even if
Counsel were prepared, was that the Court had not
been furnished with a copy of the Judge's notes, before
whom the issue had been tried.

A long discussion now ensued, kept up by several gen-
tlemen at the Bar and the Bench, upon the question, whe-
ther application ought to be made in all cases to Judges at
law, before whom cases had been tried, to have their notes,
the moment it was suggested that a party meant to move
for a new trial, or whether the party complaining ought
not to make out a prima facie case for a new trial, to
the satisfaction of the Court, before it troubled
the Judge at law to make a copy of his notes. It was
stated that the present Master of the Rolls, while Vice-
Chancellor, had adopted the latter course, but that Lord
Eldon never would adopt it, he invariably having sent for
the notes on having been asked to do so. The present
Lord Chancellor thought it the most convenient way to
have a prima facie case for a new trial made out before
the notes were seat for, because it might be, that upon
the party's own showing, applying for the new trial, the
Court might not think him entitled to one. He ordered
the parties, to be prepared in this case to state their case
for a new trial oa Wednesday next, and by that time
he will have conversed with Lord Eldon on this point
of practice, and be then able to lay down a rule one
way or other.

. .
MOTIONS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR had heard by mid-day all
the motions the parties were prepared to make.
Mr. Suanzx and some other gentlemen had several
iento Oppose., but-those who were to make them were either ah-
t or not,reacly.- This arose from the unavoidable absence of
:: Homer and the elevation of Mr. Hart. It was, how-
ever most desirable, they thought, to have it understood
that the old moticus were now to be made, or that they
should be dismissed with costs.

His LORDSHIP was unwilling to lay down any rule that
would operate inconveniently to the Bar, but he wished it
to be now understood, that unless such motions were made
next Wednesday, as it might then appear ought to be made,
that the parties opposing them should have their costs. And
lest part of next Wednesday should also be lost for want of
something to go on with, he should order a few appeals to be
in the paper for that day, He wished too to know whether
snore than six appeals ought not to be in the paper. This
did not meet with the concurrence of the Bar, at least they
did not think that more than seven ought to be in the
paper, and therefore no material alteration was made on
this subject.

. The Vacs-CnAlicitLtoa—The demurrer must of course
be over-ruled if the plaintiff appiftrs ; if not, the cause must
be struck out.

Mr. SUGDEN, though he did not hold a brief in it, was
pretty certain that no further proceedings would be taken
in this matter.
