PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

" LISBON, JAN. 10.—We had here last night a
sample of the general feeling of indignation of this
capital, and of that of the whole kingdom, in the way
to which I lately alluded. Yesterday afternoon a
general rumour was spread, that by 10 o'clock at
nigt an insurrection was to be effected, and different
palate were assigned for the rendezvous of the seve-
ral corps of militia, as well as of the regular troops,
cind of the unarmed citizens, who were directed
to join themselves to the brigade of marines,
when arms would be delivered to them. This
nitre unwarranted invitation to arms and ven-
geance was sufficient to cause every one to go to
the posts assigned. It evas really wonderful to
see hundreds of citizens of the first and middling
classes, flocking to the barracks of the 'Marine Bri-
gade, requesting arms, and inviting that corps to
come out and join the garrison and the militia to
proclaim Donna Maria 11. The marines did arm
themselves with that view, invited by a Brigadier-
General of the same corps, who exerted himself to
she effect; but, unfortunately, those exertions were
employed towards the worst military corps, where
-a division of opinions checked their progress, and
where some of its infamous Miguelite officers pre-
vailed on the soldiers to remain quiet ; so that when
.the Brigadier went to make hia retreat, he was stop-
ped and detained by the Miguelites. This being
observed by the numerous unarmed citizens, they
evacuated the barracks and proceeded to several
points, hoping to meet with the arms, but in vain;
for it appears that, though moat of the troops were
ready in their quarters, as well as the militia regi-
ments, the leading offic;:xs who were to take them out,
and assist Brigadier•:General Moreira in leading forth
this corps, and arming the ralunteer citizens, were
paralyzed by some extraordinary failure in the plan.
It is thus, that for three times it: succession this
population has been on the alert, and,-I may say,
on the eve of ft eedom, and three times the effusion
of patriotism has been checked by some fatality
which has all the appearance of treachery from some
of the under-directing hands, as there has never been
unity nor a regular combination to act against those
instruments of despotism, the numerous corps of
police. One regiment of artillery, however, began
to throw off the mask of objection and infamy ; but
not being supported, nor hearing from any of the
movements which they were to follow, order was
restored by their officers.

" In consequence, Government had again time to
snake some show of firmness--but how ? Why, by
some of the Generals of Miguel, as the Marquis of
Tancos, Adjutant-General of the Army, patrolling,
with one or two squadrons of cavalry, the streets
all the night, after 12 o'clock; and by arresting all
persons whom they found abroad.

" Such a result of a general conspiracy, and such
oexertions from a dying Government to oppose it,
ure certainly pitiful; but the former must ultimately
terminate in the annihilation of the hitter; for you
must observe and Europe must know, that it is un-
armed citizens who openly invite and provoke the
troops to take the field in support of Donna Maria
against the usurper. By and by the number of such
resolute citizens will be such, that the troops must
follow them, in spite of their infamous officers, and
the re-action will be only the more violent.
" To-day a 'great movement has been observed
among the military authorities. A great many
officers, besides Brigadier Moreira, have been ar-
rested. Troops hare been in movement this even-
ing with artillery, and it is likely that some ephemeral
display of vigour and strength will be made to in-
timidate the inhabitants, who, as you sec, are quite
unexperienced in re-actions without the assistance
of regular troops; but it is expected they will soon
be otherwise. The population of the provinces is
anxious to follow the first movement of this capital.
" In my last letter I informed you that a Procla-
mation from the partisans of the old Queen had ap-
peared, but I then did not give it the importance it
has since acquired. An immense quantity of copies
has been spread every where, and by the follow-
ers of the Marquis of Chaves, who think them-
selves thereby already masters of the Govern-
ment and of the kingdom. I therefore now scud
you a copy of that atrocious manifest, which can
scarcely be matched in any production of the
French Jacobin clubs of 1792 and 1793. This
frightened Government, who in consequence obliged
Miguel to hold a levee on the 6th instant, and in
fact he appeared, stretched in a small four-wheel
hand-vehicle, and gave his hand to kiss to his Court,'
who had thereby occasion to see that he certainly was
alive, but also that he is quite lost mentally, for he
only answered by a foolish grin to all the compli-
ments addressed to him ; and this has increased the
anxiety of his own party instead of quieting it. It
appears that Goveriment has transacted since with
Chaves's party, as it has given to the infamous Ge-
neral Telles Jordao the government of St. Julian,
and that of the Fort of Cascacs to the still greater
wretch Colonel Raymund°.
" Four ships of war, Diana frigate, corvette Leal-
dado, and brigs Providencia and Don Sebastian, have
been drawn from the expedition fitting out, to go to
blockade immediately Terceira; but they are detained
by the bad Weather.
" The Apostolieal French spy, Marquis de Crouij,
of whom I spoke before, had tendered a loan of
10,000,000 of crusades to this Government, on con-
dition that the 2,000,000 of debts contracted by the

Chavists in Spain should be paid thereout in stock
at the contracting price; but it appears that the
other terms were also disapproved'; for, notwith-
standing the misery of this Miserable Government,
it was not adtnieted in council.

Cora'', Dec. 22.—0 n the riOth instant the
Raleigh, sloop of war, in ten days E•otti 'o'ros, It had
on board Mr. Cartwright-, tigtilth Consul-General at
Cfinstantiwoote., ahrl lCaptain Dalgleish, Aid-de-camp to
Ornerat Adams. Mr. Cartwright was the bearer of
(kspatches for Lord Aberdeen and Sir F. Adams. The
English steam-boat, the African, which had been waiti*u±
ever since the 11th instant for orders 'ball, weighed
anchor on the evening after the iti•l'val of these two gentle-
men to proceed r, AnZona. Captain W. Keith, of the
British Na*).-, e*;nbarked.on hoard this vessel ; undoubtedly
he m tharged with the conveyance of these despatches to
tOndon, whither Mr. Cartwright himself intends.to go as
soon as he is out of quarantine. When the Raleigh left
Poros, it was stated that Mr. Stratford Canning had liked
the 18th Dec. fur his departure to Malta, Vriiithet Unfit
Guilleminot and hi. de Ribeaulderre will pftbably follow
him.

To-day the Avid Man-of-war has been relieved from
quarantine in our port. Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm
has tome on shore, and was saluted by all the forts.
Apartments are assigned him in the palace of the Lord
High Commissioner. The Wasp and Raleigh corvettes,
the Rifleman and Pelican brigs, and the Bind cutter,
are still at anchor here. The Petiean arrived on the 22d
in six days from Malta, with despatches for Sir Pulteney
Malcolm. The day before yesterday a Neapolitan vessel
arrived in three days from Brindisi, with a French courier
on board, who immediately embarked for Poros. Accord-
ing to accounts from Prevesa to the 15th December, the
Greek vessels continue to blockade the Gulf of Ambracia,
and continually harass the Turks at Preveta and in the
surrounding forts. In the night of the Bth December,
four rnistics, detached from the squadron in the Gulf, pene-
trated into the s:irts of Pantocratorn, St. George, and
Pienta, without being observed by the Turks. Afterwards
some common shot were exchanged but without effect.
TURKISH Fitoxvires, DEC. 30.—General Geismar,
who has passed some days at Bucharest, asserts that Wal-
lachia has no reason to fear any invasion from the Turks,
the country before Shumla, Varna, and Bazardjik, being
so entirely laid waste, that no considerable body of troops
can find subsistence there. The requisitions continue in
Wallachia, and the inhabitants have been obliged to deliver
their remaining provisions to supply the Russian army.
Every day, numbers of sick arrive at Bucharest, and the
convalescent are put away as the others arrive.

Pats, JAN. 21.—Ever since M. de Polignac has been
Ambassador at London, whenever business, whether public
or private, brought him back to Paris, reports have been
spread of the dissolution of the Cabinet, and of the entry of
the noble Peer into the Ministry. M. de Polignac, how-
ever, has always returned to London as soon as the business
which brought him to Paris had been concluded. He left
here a fortnight ago, and he is now about to return. If
his former journeys excited curiosity, the present journey
does so in a high degree. On the eve of the opening of the
Chambers, and when the Ministry have declared that they
must have all their offices filled before the Session, we are
not astonished, therefore, at the reports, and at the alarm
which prevail ; but ave repeat, if political business now
brings him to Paris, it is only en some foreign negociation,
and this negociation being ended, M. de Polignac will re-
turn to London, Where he has faithfully represented the
King of France.
(From the Constitutionne/ of Wednesday.)

PARIS, Jar. 21.—We suppose that Prince Polignac's
return would be attributed to some foreign negociation,
but those who think this absurdity will be credited must
suppose the public to he very stupid. M. de Talleyrand
has accurately remarked, there is in France somebody who
has more esprit than Voltaire, than Napoleon, and than
M. de Martignac, and that somebody is the public. The
Journal of yesterday which said M. 4e Polignac was coining
hither to conclude negociations, began at London, could
not hope to deceive the public.
Yts, no doubt Prince Polignac is coming to conclude a
negociation wkic was commenced at Paris and continued
at London. We have no doubt that the English and Aus-
trian policy see our internal policy increase, as our influ-
ence will, by that means, increase also. We wish that
we should be secured at home, in order that we may be
the safer in displaying our power abroad.

PARI9, JAN. 21.......M/NISTERIA Caasts.—On Sun-
day, after the holding of the ordinary Council, the Minis-
ters had a private conference on the subject of the dangers
which threaten them. Each stated all his discoveries, and
then, by unanimous accord, it was determined, we under-
stand, that if Prince Polignac was imposed en them they
would all retire.

Prince Polignac was expected this morning with the
greatest impatience at the Tuileries, but be had not yet ar-
rived at five o'clock.
