LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1827.

We have devoted a considerable space of our
paper to-day, to extracts of the French Papers of
Friday, and the Gazette de France, dated Satur-
day morning. The long article in the Moniteux,
on the nomination of Don MIGUEL to the Re-
gency of Portugal, by the Emperor Don PEDRO,
leaves little doubt of a fact which we have hither-
to been unwilling to believe. The character of
that Prince, and of the party by whom his cause
has been supported, will not allow us to enter-
tain any strong expectation, that under any
guarantees which can be required from him the
liberal principles of the Constitution will be pre-
served. The name of the Charter may be con-
tinued, but its spirit will not long survive if Don
MiGuEr. is actually to be Regent of Portugal.
We shall abstain from further remarks until we
are in possession of more facts relative to this
important event. •

- frfnnBerlin coaltrat all the I
oirrief—liitailigence which had reached us of
the extraordinary military preparations which
Russia is making. Whether they are in-
tended to be directed against the Porte or
Persia—or against both, is not mentioned, but
they appear to be of a gigantic nature and
ominous of extensive operations. Even a levy
of Cossacks is spoken of as probable.

Cents. at 73f. 20c.

The Duke of Kent packet has arrived with
a mail from Lisbon, from whence she sailed on
the 19th of August. The Lisbon Gazettes of
the 16th, 17th and 18th, which have reached us
by this opportunity, contain no news, but we find
in them the four decrees which we had heard of
through the French Papers, dismissingthe Bishop
of ALGARVE from the office of Minister of
Ecclesiastical Affairs and of Justice ; and
SENIOR NORONHA from that of Minister of
Marine ; and confiding the duties of the first
office to SENHOR CARVALHO, Minister of
Finance, and those of the second to Viscount
SANTAREM, Minister of the Interior.

The following article from the Paper 0' Por-
tuguese, of the 18th of August, mentions that the
master of a schooner, which had arrived in fifty-
two days from Sanctos,
saw Rio de Janeiro
Papers to the 15th June, which contained the
EMPEROR'S Message to the Chambers, inform-
ing them of the necessity of his proceeding to
Portugal, and the consent of the Chambers
to his
MAJESTY'S absence for two years.
LISBON, Auc. 17.—The Prndente Jose do FOPte

appears that the Captain, before he sailed, saw Journals of
Rio de Janeiro to the 15th of June, and among
them

the necessity of his presence to calm all parties and dispel
all differences.

Accounts from Barcelona to the 30th of
August state that the Marquis CAMPO SA-
GRAD() had issued a Proclamation to the Cata-
lonians,
in which the KING grants them an
amnesty, while at the same time the Minister at
War accompanies it with a decree to:the follow-
ing effect. First—that if, on the first intimation
made by the General and Officers of the Troops,'
