usual messages interchanged, and the usual standing order agreed to.
The :Members of the Senate, to testify their respect to the
memory of Nicholas Van Dyke, late a senator from Delaware, and
Joseph Wllvaine, late a senator from New Jersey, resolved to wear
crape on the left arm for one month.
Mr. Hayne gave notice, that on Wednesday (this day) he should
ask leave to introduce a bill to establish a uniform system of
bankruptcy throughout the United States.
On Tuesday the President's message was delivered.

LISBON.

(FROM A COR.RESTONDZST.)

LISBON, DEC. 25.—1 t was the Pyramus, and not the Romney
frigate, which arrived from England on Saturday. She brought
out 84 men of the tth Foot, but no Officer of rank, nor in fact
any men of importance. The ships with the British troops have
not yet appeared, though several false announcements of their
arrival have been made. Until the Commander of the Army
comes, it being yet unknown whether that honour will devolve
upon Lord Bereafurd or not, the orders-are, that the men by the
Pyramus are not to be landed. In the meantime, the Govern-
ment have made ample provisions fur the reception of our troops.
The bread is baked, the cattle are in store, the wines drawn, and
beds laid down. for 5,000 men. The. Portuguese Commissariat re-
quested our Officers of the same depattment not to interfere with
them in the market, as British hard money would spoil their pur-
chases at twelve months' credit. This has induced a belief, that
it is the intention of Portugal to provide our army at its expense;
but those who know the system better, conclude that it is only a
pretext to keep the various intermediate profits in the usual hands,
and that in the proper time the whole amount of charge will be
demanded of our Treasury.
Intelligence from the interior to the 221 has just been received.
I have seen private letters confirming the accounts which are made
known by the Government. The rebels, under the Marquis of
Chaves, have left Lamego, after sacking that town, and have
abandoned the province of Beira altogether, to reeross into their
old territory of Tras-os-Montes. They have done so, frightened
by the conjoint operations of Clandino, who was coming on them
from the north-west, and Villaflor from the south. It is also
stated that the determination of the British Cabinet has been, cir-
culated among the rebels, and that it has had the effect of causing
them to desert in large numbers. Indeed, the calculations here to-
day are, that there will be no occasion for the marching of the
English army up the country.
This being Christmas Day there is no journal published, so that
I have it not in my power to send you the Government accounts
of their operations ; and still more annoying, the Exchange is
shut, and I can neither give you the best information, which is
most probably to be found there, nor the state of the Exchange or
the funds.

The Sir Edward Bunke. steam-packet, with dispatches from
Sir William A'Court, starts to-day for Portsmouth. This vessel
is retained for the purposes of Government. She has hitherto
made her passages in four or five days, between that port and
this.

Late this evening another signal was made that four sail of the
British fleet are in eight of St. Julien.
Monday Night, Dec. 25, Half-past Eleven.
An Express has been just received 'from Mr. Lamb, our Mini-
ster at Madrid, announcing that the Spanish Cabinet had at
length consented to withdraw all assistance from the Refugees;
and that it also consented to recognize the Portuguese Constitu-
tion—the resignation of Don Pedro—and the Regency.
The Spanish Ambassador here, the Count Las Caias, has

claimed permission to be again presented to the Court, which is
determined to be agreed upon at this late hour. The Ministers
are now together, and the steam-boat Sir Edward Banks starts
with despatches from Sir William A'Court at midnight.
LISBON, Dec. 25, 1826.—80th Chambers closed on the 23d.
In the Deputies a motion was made, and carried with loud acela-
mations—to return the most grateful thanks of the Deputies, on
behalf of the Portuguese nation, to the King of Great Britain—
the Government, the Parliament, and the British People gene-
rally, for affording the Portuguese such efficient help in the time
of need. According to the Charter, the Chamber of Deputies
was obliged to he closed on that day, and they had not had suffi-
cient time to draw up such a Congratulatory address, as would
sufficiently convey their high sense of the obligation under which
they were to Great Britain. On the opening again of the Cham-
bers, the motion would be renewed, when a proper address would.
be presented for the approval of the Chamber.
LISBON, Dec. 26, 1826.—1 herewith send you the paper of
this day, by which you will me that it contains only the speech of
Mr. Canning, with the comments thereon. Such has been the
demand for it, that 6,000 copies have been sold in a very short
space of time. The price, however, is only 3id. I understand,
that they could scarcely be printed fast enough to supply the de-
mand, so eager was every body to read this famous speech ; but
then our presses do not print with any thing like the rapidity of
your's.
On the arrival, however, of the speech in this country, it was
immediately translated, and sent up into all parts of the kingdom,
in what you would call hand bills. The general opinion here is
decidedly in favour of the Constitution—that is among all the su-
perior description of people in the mercantile and middle classes;
the opposers of it are the Monks and Friars, but the Bishops and
other orders of the Clergy are in general in favour of it. It is
the universal opinion that the arrival of the British troops will
put a stop to the in4ch of the rebels, and that for the present, at
least, things will settle- quiet'y down in Portugal ; and if you
should let the troops remain here for two or three yeurs, it is pro-
bable that things would be so firmly settled, that we should not
have much chance of a recurrence of events such as we have lately
witnessed. As to the Portuguese troops they cannot be depended
on at all. If your Government had not been so prompt, it is very
likely the rebels would have succeeded.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JA2ITUARY 2, 1827.

The French Papers of Saturday reached us lash
night, but their contents have been anticipated by the
Etoile of Sunday, from which we published some
extracts yesterday ; and by the intelligence from Lis-
bon, which refutes the speculations indulged in by the
Quotidienne.

The Pilotc mentions that letters from Malta posi-
tively announce that the 60-gun ship built at New
York for the Greek Government, anchored there on
the 29th November, and sailed on the Ist December,
for Napoli di Romania. The crew consisted of 200
men.

The Constitutionnd affirms that M. VILLA HER-
mosA, Ambassador from Spain, has transmitted to
M. DE DAMAS, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, a
Note complaining of the speech delivered by the latter
in the Chamber of Peers, and requiring an explanation
of those p,s,sagcs in which he considers that his Go-
vernment was seriously inculpated.

in Great Britain, which has recoiled on them and oc-
casioned a diminution of public Revenue. They have,
it is stated, paid off .50 out of 1231 millions Df Dollars,
which formed their Debt on the Ist of January, 1817 ;
and they have, during this period, by the annual ap-
propriation of a considerable sum for the gradual in-
crease of their. Navy, constructed twelve line of battle
ships, twenty frigates, and sloops in proportion. The
friendly relations of the United States with other
powers are adverted to with satisfaction, though it is
admitted " that this pacific condition is qualified, in
several important instances, by collisions of interest,
and by unsatisfied claims of justice, to the settlement of
which the constitutional interposition of the Legisla-
tive authority may become ultimately indispensable."

On the great question of discussion between the
United States and Great Britain, a hope is expressed
that their unavailing exertions to accomplish a cordial
good understanding, will not have an unpropitious
effect upon the .„her great topics of discussion be-
tween the two Governments, namely, the Boundary
Line in Canada, and the claims for slaves carried
away at the close of the war. Propositions of com7_
promise have, however, it is stated, passed between
the two Governments, the result of which, they flatter
themselves, may yet prove satisfactory.
Their own dispositions and purposes towards Great
Britain are, they say, " all friendly and conciliatory,
nor can they abandon but with strong reluctance the
belief that they will ultimately meet a return not of
favours, which they neither ask nor desire, but of equal
reciprocity and good-will.

The following are extracts from a letter to
the Lima and Chili news-
matter fora foreign reader,
the editor of the
Bcdtintore Gazette, dated Lima, Aug. 5, 1826. It appears to
111, from the general tenor of the letters of our countrymen in the
Pacific, that much dissatisfaction is expressed in Peru with the
conduct of Bolivar. He $ looked upon with a jealous eye, and
must be cautious :

is under the eontroul of the
of
Government.
The people of Peru generally feel dissatisfied with the proceed-
ings of General Bolivar ; he has dissolved their Congress, and has
taken near 5,000 of the Peruvian troops to Panama, leaving
his
Colombian troops in every village of the country to keep the
peo-
ple in awe, and to maintain his authority. Within the last month
some divisions of troops in. the neighbourhood of Hun &Tanga,
have revolted—cr t, Yiug,&e. ; and within
these few days past, General Bolivar has arrested nearly all of the
provincial Peruvian and Buenos Ayrean Officers, which causes
considerable agitation among the people. The Government will
undoubtedly endeavour to make it appear that they are concerned
with the troops who have revolted, and try the whole of them Ihr
the crime of high treason.
It is hinted that Bolivar wishes to unite the Governments of
Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia, in one, and to attain which, by his
emissaries, has caused One of his favourite Generals to the north
of Colombia, to revolt against the established Government. The
new Constitution sent to the Government of Bolivia is not pleas_
ing to the people generally, particularly that part which elects a
President for life) without responsibility, and the right of naming
his successor.
If we can judge by the present movements of )3olivar, he will
form an alliance with the Emperor of Brazil ; after Which endea-

your to conquer Chili and Buenos Ayres, then take the title of
President, Emperor, or King, of these countries, as may most
suit his ambition of titles.

(From the Charleston Gazette, Nov. 23.)

LATE AND VERY INTERESTING FROM PERU.—We have re-
ceived commercial advices from Lima as late as the 3th of August,
and our correspondent informs us, that notwithstanding there
had been no arrivals from the United States for more than three
months, .the bakers and flour speculators still held back, and
bought very little, believing, as they expressed themselves, that
before long many weasels, must arrive from 'the United States, with
full cargoes of flour and bread stuffs. The brig George Gar-
dener, Captain Davidson, sailed from Lima, on the 27th July,
with part of her outward cargo, destined for Valparaiso. The
ship Corinthian sailed to leeward also, with a considerable portion
of her outward cargo, it being impossible to dispose of it at lily
reasonable rate.

The place may be considered as literally overstocked with every
article that is usually imported from the United States and Great
Britain, and of course the disposal of them, at even return prices,
is out of the question in many instances. We have been looking
oat for the ship Arethusa, but she has not yet arrived on this
coast, as far as we can ascertain. The Peruvian will, in all
probability, leave Lima for the United States in the course of five
or six weeks. Our correspondents annex the following prices :
Flour, 10 to 11 dollars, on board ; Sperm Candles, 4i rials,
do. ; Blue Nankeens, 11 ride, do. ; Bleached Shirtings, 18+ cis.
do. ; Lard, 2i to 2} re. in Lima; Ale and Porter, 4 to 44- dole.
per dozen ; White Wax plenty, no sale, nominally 60 dollars.

The whole of the communications received from
Portugal describe the joy, on the receipt of the intel-
ligence of the intentions of this country to lend its
protection to the Constitutional Government, as un-
bouned.

The exultation was the greater in consequence of
the despondency which had previously prevailed ; and
the public enthusiasm seems to have reached its height
when the first detachment of the promised succours
arrived in his Majesty's ship Pyramus. The landing
of part of the 4th Foot from this ship is described as
one of the most inspiring • spectacles ever witnessed ;
and perhaps on no former occasion did the troops of a
foreign power ever land in any country under such gra-
tifying circumstances, whether considered with reference
to their reception, or the cause which they were about to
support—the cruise of national liberty against despotism
and superstition. The private letters which we have
seen do not put us in possession of many particullrs
beyond those which we stated yesterday. The Mar-
fuis de CHAVES was said to be at Lamego, with a
orce of 10,000 men badly equipped and provisioned,
but the defeat of MAGESI in Alentejo by the Count
of VILLAFLOR, liad left the South of Portugal
clear, and the Government would therefore be able to
direct their whole attention to the Northern Provinces.
No idea of the plan of operations which would be
adopted against the insurgents, when the troops arrived,
could of course be formed.

The steam-vessel passed two of our line-of-battle
ships,
off Cape Finisterre, and it is supposed that
they would have reached Lisbon about the 28th or
29th ultimo.

By the Lord Melville packet, in eight days from Buenos
Ayres, we have received files of the Mensagero Argentine
to the beginning of November. Their contents are not
important, being chiefly composed of some desultory ope-
rations relative to the war in that quarter. The Brazilians
last a frigate of 40 guns in a storm, which must impair
their strength considerably, for the loss of one vessel at
such a distance from home is greater than if two had been
destroyed with R prospect of immediate reinforcement to
supply their place. It was reported that ten respectable
merchants had been arrested at Monte Video, for attempt-
ing to seduce the troops to a revolutionary movement.
Great discontent and indignation prevailed in Peru, be-
cause the Government of Buenos Ayres had refused to
recognize the independence of BOLIVIA. Stormy and
acrimonious debates took place among the Peruvians, and
the Dietator even went so far as to propose that the citi-
zens of Buenos Ayres and Chile, resident in Peru, should
be expelled ; but this was strongly opposed, on account
of evident injustice in visiting upon private individuals the
supposed sins of their Government

BUENOS AYRES.
(From the Mensagero Argentino.)
OtT, 4.—We have accounts from the Oriental Province, by
}Otero to the 25th ult. They are perfectly authentic, and we
have great pleasure in giving the following particulars.
The insubordination of those who followed Rivera has entirely
rhaaPpeared. Colonel Laguera has pursued the remainder of
them with great activity, and has shot the principal persona among
them. Parties have been sent out in all directions, and pick up
stragglers, and we are happy to say that there is no criminal of
this description, but that even the robbers and assassins that
inundated that province in consequence of the scandalous conduct
of Rivera have for the most part disappeared, and the remainder
are pursued.

- -
On the 25th the army was on the Rio Negro, where the divi-
vi‘iciis that were at Yi and San Josedell Uruguay had joined.—
The enthusiasm of the army is extraordinary, and the greatest
order and discipline prevail in consequence of the active and
Judicious measures of General Alvear.
Meantime all the letters agree in the just horror with which
the name of D. Fructuoso Rivera is pronounced by every body.
we may add that, according to the decision of the inhabitants
and the measures taken, that individual will not readily venture
to enter that country. We know that he has arrived at Rosa-
es? In the jurisdiction of Santa Fe ; the Commandant has de-
tallied him till he has orders from that Government, which,
it Is to be hoped, will act as duty commands.

The President of the Republic considering the necessity of in-
!'"4"-iing the militia in all those parts of the Country where
'llg to protect property, and the population of the district of
tonealoo having considerably- increased, has decreed that a re-
Rif/teat of militia (cavalry) shall he immediately formed in that
district.

Letters from Paisandre of the 22d September, say that a inuti-
U hhiad from
out in the Portuguese camp at Santa Anna,
, originated in the troops not being paid, and that 3 Colo-
Leiß, 10 other Officers, and many privates, were killed.

Another letter from moat respectable authority confirms this
news, and adds, that the tro°'" On the Rio Grande had refused to
receive General Lecor as Commander-in-Chief, and that the militia
had refused to tate up arms or leave their homes. This was the
occasion of •the mutiny we have mentioned, in which three Colo-
nels were killed. It 1,. said that General Lacer will not take the
comniand of the arms'.
Oe.r. 11.—The Censor of Upper Peru, of the 7th of Sep-
tember, contains au account of a debate in the Congress, in which
a Message from the Government was read, to the effect that
Buenos Ayres, having refused to recognise the independence of
Bolivia, the Government proposed either to revenge this insult
further explanation from the 11Iinister of Buenos Ayres.
After a
warm debate, in which some deputies proposed to break off all

communication with Buenos Ayres, the Congress referred the
Note of the Government to a Committee.

The subsequent numbers of the Mensagero, contain long arti-
cles on this subject, and on the injustice of the Dictator, in desir-
ing to expel from Peru, all citizens of Buenos Ayree and Chili.

OCT. 25.—We learn from private letters that the Assembly at
Panama has concluded a treaty of confederation, or have agreed
to the points relative to external policy which are to compose that
A-ct. The same letters say that the Assembly was going to re-
move to Mexico, and that it would be composed henceforward of
one Plenipotentiary from each State. _ _

OCT. 28.-We. have seen numerous letters from Peru ; the
hostile measures against the citizens of Buenos Ayres and Chili
continue without interruption, and not to speak of the indigna-
tio❑ which this injustice excites, our countrymen suffer incalcula-
ble injury by being obliged to abandon their properties, and being
kept in perpetual alarm. The Government say that the Buenos
Avrians have very liberal principles, that their conversation and
their presence are very dangerous to the Peruvians, whose admi-
nistration must be founded on other bases. The result of this fine
opinion is, that all these anarchical people must be got rid of and
sent from Peru, whatever be their services and their profession.

We subjoin the following extracts from the Lisbon
Gazettes down to the 19th, and from the Supplement to
the Lisbon Gazette of the 24th tilt. which have reached
us this morning:—
