PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

LISBON, JULY 6.—The English public, who have
heard so much about a hundred or two of Spanish
refugees of the better classes in London, and of the
difficulty of procuring funds to support them, either
from the purse of the nation or the benevolence of
individuals, are not probably aware that there are in
Portugal several hundreds of exiled Spaniards, of all
ranks, in the same unfortunate situation. It was
only persons in the higher and more exposed con-
ditions of life, who had sufficient motives, or could
find sufficient means, to proceed to London; but
persecuted individuals of all classes can pass the
river, or the mountain, or the imaginary line which
constitutes the boundary between the two States of
the Peninsula. The is, that though no
encouragement has been held out to desertion from
the Spanish army, or emigration from the Spanish
territory, a great body of Spaniards have fled into
Portugal within the last ten months. They consist
chiefly of military men ; but there are others, who
have not been in the army, and the number is daily
augmenting. About eight days ago, a party of 60 sol-
diers, with the Governor of one of the Canary Isles at
their head, entered the Tagus in a Portuguese vessel,
which touched accidentally at the island; and, in
the beginning of the present week, a party of 60 or
70 additional deserters reached Santarem, from the
frontier. About a dozen of officers have recently
arrived from England ; and if passports could be
obtained, or permission to disembark. given, more
would follow. All these persecuted and unfortu-
nate patriots are distributed in depots in the capital
or its vicinity. There is one depot at Santarem,
another at Cascaes (a town some miles beyond Fort
St. Julian), another at Belem, and two or three in
clam aro, Quartwrort.
The detachment of cavalry which deserted from
Spain into the Algarves, at the beginning of winter,
are in depot at Bonas Ares, along with the 'officer
who then commanded them. I cannot venture to
state the total numbers in these different places, but
probably the estimate would not be too high at 500
or 600.

They all receive support of some kind or other
from the Government when in depot ; but their
allowance is scanty, and their treatment often arbi-
trary. They generally, I understand, receive eight
vintens, or about 9d. a day, without rations, while
some of those who, for breaches of discipline or ima-
ginary offences, are placed in close confinement, are
almost allowed to starve. Eleven officers who lately
arrived from England were imprisoned at the Praca
de Alcantara, because they came without passports,
and but for the humanity of an Englishman who
happened to visit them, must have been starved.
One of them was married to an English woman,
who insisted on going to prison along with her hus-
band. I have no doubt, from the accounts which
have reached me, that the majority of these unfortu-
nate men are subjected to extreme hardships. In
London they were left to starve out of prison : in
Lisbon their severe destiny adds imprisonment to
want.

Yet the Government is not entirely to blame for
their cruel treatment, on two grounds : in the first
place, it is just as bountiful to them as to its own
subjects in similar circumstances; and, in the second
place, it has delegated the management and superin-
tendence of the depots to a mixed commission of
Portuguese and Spanish Liberals, some of whom, it
might be expected, would be more lenient in their
punishments, and more humane in their attentions,
from a remembrance of their own recent sufferings.
The busine-sq ,f this commission is to distribute the
refugees into the different depots, to watch over
their conduct, and to provide for their wants. If
an officer absents himself from the place to which
their orders restrict him without leave, he is punish-
ed with incarceration. There are nine in the Castle
of Lisbon, and some in the Tower of Belem, in
close confinement, for this offence; and, strange to
say, their fellow-sufferers are most frequently the
informers. Oee of the officers coufiued in the latter
fortress might have died of starvation, had it not
been for the humanity of one of the turnkeys, who
shared his meals with his prisoner, no inquiry being
for some days made into his situation, nor any pro-
vision sent for his support.
Dante transfers to Purgatory all the passions
which agitated the characters of his i-umortal work
in their " upper sphere." This is poetry ; but it
is not a whit more improbable than (what is
actually true) that the miserable asylum of the
Spanish refugees in Portugal—the political purga-
tory of a Lisbon depot—should be agitated by fierce
contests and ambitious cabals between rival factions,
as to the form of government proper to be esta-
blished in Spain when Ferdinand shall be dethroned.
One party is for a dictatorship, with General Mina
at its head, tijl order is restored; another is for a re-
public at once ; and a third declares for a limited mo-
narchy, with a sovereign to be taken on good beha-
viour. The party of General Mina and the dicta-
torship is at present at the head of affairs ; and by
having the ear of the commission, is said to lord it
over the rest. It was one of this faction who, act-
ing from mere party malignity, informed against the
officer who was lately put into the common prison,
and against another' who is now in the Castle.—
Nothing can be more distressing than to see such
chimeiical differences and ridiculous anticipations,
alienating from each other the victims of patriotism,
and aggravating the evils of their common calamity.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de Pratte* dated Tuesday, July 24,

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 26.—Since the negative
answer of the Porte, relative to the pacification of
Greece, the views of the Divan dev elope themselves
more fully every day, and there is every indication
that the Sultan will oppose, by all the means in his
power, the resolutions of the Allied Powers. A
firman orders the Pachas of the provinces to form,
as soon as possible, corps of troops, without distinc-
tion of religion ; a thing hitherto unheard of in the
Turkish Empire. Another order, at the same time,
enjoins the Commanders of Arsenals, the Directors
of the Marine, and the Commanders of the Forts on
the Bosphorus, to complete the number of men and
materiel of the establishment in the shortest time
possible, and to take care that the works which
have been begun shall be finished as soon as possible.

Particular 'Couriers have been sent to liedschid
Pacha arid to Ibrahim, with a Hatti Scheriff of the
Sultan, which orders them to employ, without loss
of time, their advantages to put down the insurrec-
tion, before other circumstances occur which would
support it. These are the very words of the Matti
Scheriff. Happily for the Greeks, this order must
remain nearly ineffectual, for they have so laid waste
Attica and the Morea, that the want of provisions
will paralyse the operations of the Generals of the
Porte. The same will be the case with the meet.
Cochrane is collecting at Poros, all the scattered
Greek vessels, to make the long projected attack,
and the movements of the Turkish fleet hitherto al-
most betray fear and alarm. Nevertheless we see
the Sultan firmly resolved, not only to continue the
war which is now going on, but to undertake ano-
ther, if it is necessary.
Since the formal audiences, M. de Ribeaupierre
lives quite retired, but he appears to be on the best
terms with the Diplomatic Body.
Tartars from Persia announce that the Russians
have experienced a defeat, and that they are retiring
towards Tiflis.

MADRID, JULY 9.—The Government has just
issued orders for the formation of eight new regi-
ments of the line, which, it is said, are to garrison
our fortresses now occupied by the French, because,
in consequence of a new arrangement between the
two Cabinets, they are to be evacuated on the Ist
of October next. It is believed that this measure,
if it should be adopted, will have some influence on
the affairs of Portugal; and that the English on
their side will evacuate that kingdom.

(Film the Moniteur of

FRANKFORT, JULY 17.—(From a Private Letter.)
—Letters have been received from the Bukowina
and the Banaat of Temeswar, according to which
nothing remarkable has passed on the Turkish fron-
tiers. Notwithstanding all the activity displayed by
the Pachas of Nessa, Semandria, Silistria, and Rud-
schuk, in the organization of new levies on the Eu-
ropean footing, it does not appear that there has
yet been any assembling of troops on the plains of
Adrianople, as was said at Constantinople some
months ago.
In Moldavia and Wallachia every thing is on the
old footing. The report was current at Jassy, that
the Hospodar of Moldavia being injured by hi‘ se-
cret enemies in the opinion of the Divan, was on the
point of being dismissed. Several Moldavian Boy-
ards are suspected of not being unconcerned in the
intrigues carried on at Constantinople against the
Hospodar. It was supposed that the readiness which
he chewed at the time in the execution of the stipu-
lations entered into at Akermann respecting Mol-
davia, had displeased some of the great officers of
the Porte.

(From the Constitutioanel of Monday.)
LISBON, JULY 7.---(Private Letter.)—Since the
return of Dr. Abrantes into Europe, Don Pedro IV.
has probably received several successive very serious
advices, which will probably induce .him to proceed
to Lisbon before the 25th of October next, in order
to avoid great misfortunes, and a bloody civil war.
New facts increase the proofs, already too numerous,
and which allow us no longer to doubt that there
is a great and fatal blow in preparation_against this
epoch_

Gen. Saldanha had shown some disgust at not
having been consulted as to the nomination of his
new colleagues; and particularly on account of a
want of perfect similarity of disposition among the
Ministers ; they are not permitted to follow a firm
and vigorous course. A number of enlightened and
respectable individuals presented some days since
to the Minister, Saldanha, as energetic and well-
weighed memorial, inviting him to preserve his
situation, and profit by it.
Lord Yarborough arrived here last night, on board
the English corvette of war, the Falcon, which left
Falmouth ten days ago. He presents himself as a
mere traveller, with four of his friends.

(Another Private Letter.)—The following is the
diplomatic letter sent by Sir William A'Court to
Don Francisco Almeida, requiring the expulsion of
Romano Alpuente, the Spanish Deputy, from
Portugal.
" LISBON, APRIL l'7, 1827.—The undersigned
Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary of his Britannic Majesty, has the honour to
communicate to his Excellency Don Francisco
d'Almeida, Minister for Foreign Affairs, that it has
come to his knowledge, that a well-known individual,
Romero Alpuente, has arrived in this capital, where
he has been permitted to land, although without a
passport from either Spanish or Portuguese Autho-
rity. As the presence of that individual in Lisbon
at the present moment may have very grave conse-
quences, the undersigned considers it a duty both
towards England and Europe, to demand that per-
son's immediate removal ; and he declares himself
convinced that the British Government, by granting
protection to Portugal, never intended it to serve as
a centre for the discontented of other countries
wherein to form their plans against the peace and
tranquillity of the neighbouring States.
" The undersigned begs his Excellency to have
the goodness to present the contents of this Note to
her Royal Highness the Infanta Regent, and to re-
quest of her an order for the removal of so danger-1
ous an individual.

(Signed)

" Mr. .4."

MADRID, JULY 12.—(Private Letter.)—As to
the re-eitablishment of the Inquisition, although not
authorised by the Government, it has taken place in
several parts of Catalonia,.such as the city of Verge,
and several others : and the Bishop of Tarragona,
formerly Grand Inquisitor, among the titles at the
head of all the documents he publishes, never forgets
to add that of Grand Inquisitor, accompanied by the
word actual.

The affair of the Pope does not appear to be in
so advantageous a situation for his Holiness as was
thought; for among the fiscals of the different divi-
sions of the Council of Castile, M. Heredia having
made a report less favourable to the rights of the
King than those of the Pope, it was sent back to
him with orders to review it, accompanied by a
threat of deprivation. It is thought, that in spite
of all the changes lie cau make in it, he will not
preserve his place,
The nomination of the President of the Council
of Castile is again in the order of the day, and the
two most evident Candidates are General Castagnos
and Father Velez, Bishop of Compostella. It ap-
pears undoubted that one of these two men, al-
though of opposite opinions, will become President
of the Council of Castile.

DUSSELDORF, JULY 16.--(Private Letter.)—
The reforms projected in the Civil and Criminal
Legislation of the Rhenish Province have been de-
ferred. Count Dackelmann, present Minister of
Justice, does not share the prejudices which his pre-
decessor, M. Kirehiesen, had conceived against the
French Institutions : he is even convinced of the
several essential ameliorations
linrgnoettrey of
aientdonng
judiciaryi institutions. He has pro-
posed to blend together these different institutions,
in order thus to satisfy the partisans of both. This
is the reason, no doubt, why things will still remain
in sti3pence for a certain time, until the labours of
the Commission of General Legislation shall be ter-
minated,
