LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1, 1827.

Dispatches have been received this morning at the
Foreign Office from Sir WILLIAM A'CouRT, his MA-
JESTY'S Minister at Lisbon, and at the Admiralty, from
`'ice-Admiral Lord ASIELIUS BEAUCLERK, Commander-
in-Chief of his. MAJESTY'S ships in the Tagus. These
despatches were brought home by the Sir Edward Bankes
steam vessel, which, has arrived at Portsmouth, having left
the TaguS- on the evening of the 25th inst. The following
are extracts of Sir '%V: A'Cot'RT's despatches to Mr.
CANNING :

" LISBON, DEC. 19, 1826.—1 t would be difficult to de-
"scribe the joy with which the intelligence of the speedy
arrival of our troops has been received by the public. The
gloom and desPondency which had been hanging over Rll
for the last fortnight, hare at once been dispersed, and hope
and confidence have revived as if by magic.

" Her Royal Highneis the INFANTA Regent, the Minis-
try, and the Chambers, are all equally warm in the ex-
pression of their gratitude to his MAJESTY, not only for
his MAJESTY'S ready acknowledgment of the obligations of
a Treaty, but for the extraordinary promptitude with which
effectual assistance has followed that acknowledgment:

" The occupation of the forts at.the entrance of the Tagus
by the British marines, has been readily agreed to by the
Portuguese Government, and vvill be carried into effect on
Thursday or Friday."
" LISBON, DEC. 25, 1826.—The Pyramus is. the may
vessel of the expedition that is yet arrived; but it IS said
that there are four large ships now in the offing completely
becalmed."

The Marines of the Squadron had been previously land,
ed under the command of Captain OMMANNEY, of His
Majesty's Ship Albion, and are doing garrison duty in
Forts St. Julien and the Bugie.
His Majesty's ship Pyramus, arrived on the 23d Dec.
in the Tagus, having on board a company of the 4th Re-
giment, but these troops had not been landed at the time
the Steamer sailed. .

Lisbon was quiet, and Oporto- had not falls,n.-- The
Pilots at the latter port had been bribed by the Royalists,'
and kept outside some English vessels and a man of war
brig, under the pretence of there not being water over
the bar.

previously allowed to resign.
The Gazette contain also offers from two companies of marin.s.

At a late hour this afternoon we have received, by Ex-
press, the Etoile of yesterday, from which we have time
and space to make only the following extracts :
EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
(From the Etoile of yesterday, Dee. 31.)
The following is in the Memorial Bordelais :—We have re-
ceived the following news. :--Brigadier Moyes, who commands
on the Alentejo 2,000 refugees, was attacked at Portalegre, and
put to the route at Arronches, near the frontiers, by 4,000 Con-
atittitionalists, who pursued him to the Spanish territory. The
corps of the Marquis de Chaves is still in the environs of the
-same name, and the Constitutionalists who dispersed the troops of
I.lloves are marching against him. No English troops bad as yet
landed on the ISth at Lisbon. -
We read in the Indicateur Bordeaux, according to the news
from-the frontiers of Portugal of a recent date, the Portuguese re-
fugees, commanded by Magesse, have been beaten at Portalegre
by 4,000 Constitutionals at Arronches, and their defeat was com-
plete. The corps of rebels commanded by the Marquis de Chaves
has made no movement, and are still stationed in the t,wn of that

name.
We give the above news from the Indicateur and Memorial
withaut guaranteeing it.

'We received last night the Paris Papers of Friday and
the Eloile dated Saturday morning. They are principally
filled with the project of the law on the Police of the Press,
without reviving the CensorshiP., has for its chief
object the enabling Government Functionaries to peruse
the copies of works beforethei are actually published, and
consequently to suppress those which are, found objec-

tionable.
_The KING received on Thursday evening the Address
of the Chamber. of Deputies which, notwithstanding the
length of time devoted to its preparation and discussion, is
as poor a production as can be conceived. It is strictly
an echo of the Speech, as it scarcely varies the words to
which it replies. His MAJESTY'S answer was short and
distinct. On the great question of peace or war, he says—
" You desire peace, Gentlemen—no one desires it more sin-
cerely than I do. The efforts lam making to preserve it are
dictated by my heart. lam happy to announce to you .that my
hopes in this respect become daily more founded."
We have never doubted the sincerity of the personal
• wishes of the 'King of FRANCE to maintain peace, but we
have suspected, and do suspect, the wishes of a certain
party in his MAJESTY'S Councils: and the expressions he
uses in this reply convince ua that our suspicions are not
unfounded. With whom can he be making efforts to pre-
serve peace, but with some of those most influential
in his Goveinment? His MAJESTY is not instigated to
vindicate the cause of Spain by any of his Foreign Allies :
he is not bound by treaty to support her in an unjust ag-
gression on another State in amity with France ; and
Great Britain does not require any explanation, or make
any demand upon France which can bring the two coun-
trei it! collision. 'With whom then can his MAJESTY be
making thoie efforts for the preservation of peace, to
which he again alludes, but with that secret cabal which
'.llltences the Councils of his Kingdom, and has already,
by its influence in Spain, led to those acts, which may
probably, sooner or later, cause an effusion of human
blood.
Of foreign political news these papers are nearly bar-
ren. • The Quotidienne repeats its assertion of the occupa-
ti:m of Oporto on the 15th ult., but rests it now on the
authority of letters from London.. It publishes, however,
a letter from Bayonne of the 23d., which states, that the
success of the Royalists is prodigious; that the whole po-
pulation takes arms to support the Marquis de CHAVES,
• arid that even if the English should arrive at Lisbon before
the-Royalists, they would not be able to support the new
order of things. If th,), dared to land, they would have
to' combat the whole Portuguese nation, and would be
crushed, for nothing can .eqrial the hatred of the Portu-
guese for the British Government!!
It farther states, that letters Iron). Madrid say, that nei-
. they the threats of Mr. LASIBi nor the ultimatum of Mr.
CANNING, have any effect either upon the inhabitants of
. Madrid, or. upon King FERDINAND, who is less disposed
than ever to make concessions contrary to the, national ho-
. nour and the safety of his Crown.
The next news from Madrid will, it is expected, decide
the question whether FERDINAND will submit or not. If
he obstinately perseveres in his refusal, Mr. LAMB will
forthwith take his departure.
Extracts from these Papers are inserted in another co-
lumn, and we subjoin the price of the Funds on Friday
Evening.

We received last night the Journal de St. Pclersburgh
of the 12th ultim.o. It contains no mention of military
operations. The season appears to be remarkably mild.
The following are extracts

ST. PETERSBURGII, Dec. 11.—The navigation continues
open very late this year. A vessel (the Henry and Harriet)
sailed on the 3d of this month, bound to London.

ODESSA, Nov. 24.—:Lieutenant-General Forster, e. native of
Brunswick, Commander of the Engineers of the Second Army,

" Fifty-five vessels have sailed from this port within these 12
't”"*, 35 more are ready to sail as soon as they have completed
thp;r cargoes. Though the season is advanced, it appears likely
that the navigation will continue for some time. The number of
ships that have arrived here in the course of the year, is 431, the
Dumber of those sailed is 353.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 19th ult. has no news.
