LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 18'27.

We understand that Mr. FlusKissoN will, in
all probability, arrive in London on Monday.—
,
The rapidity of the Right Hon. Gentleman's
journey to Paris had slightly indisposed him,
and he was, in consequence, induced to proceed
by slower journies to London. In the mean-
time we shall not follow the example of some
of our cotemporariee, in speculating on arrange-
ments which cannot be made until Mr. Hus-
KISSON'S arrival.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazelle
de France dated Wednesday, reached us last
night. They contain intelligence from Greece
which tends to confirm the previous accounts of
the obstacles which lave been opposed to the
progress of IB RA HIM PAC HA, and on the whole
justifies hopes of the, final success of the righteous
cause in which the Greek nation have so long
and so heroically struggled. The National As-
sembly has at length agreed i❑ drawing up a con-
stitution-al charter for Greece, which will be

found amongst our extracts.
The. French Papers mention the death of M.
MANUEL, the celebrated Member of Opposition,
who was formerly expelled from the Chamber of
Deputies :

An Express has reached the City this fore-
noon, with the price of the French Funds on
Wednesday, which . was as follows—Three per
Cents. 72f. 90c., 73f.; Five per Cents. 104 f.
10c. 15c. 20c. 10c. sc. Exchange, 25f. 25c.
for time, 25f. 10c. for money.
The Express brought no other news.

We received, this morning, by the Duke of
York steam-boat, which arrived at the Mother-
bank yesterday afternoon, letters and papers
from Lisbon, to the 15th inst. inclusive. They
give a very discouraging account of the affairs of
Portugal. The reports which were circulated
on the arrival of the brig Apollo, with dispatches
from Rio Janeiro, dated the Bth of June, that it
was the intention of the Emperor DON PEDRO
to proceed to Lisbon immediately, prove to have
had no foundation, the affairs of his Brazilian
Empire preventing his absence at the present
crisis. The joy which these reports had occa-
sioned was folloWed, when they were found er-
roneous, with gloom and despondency. The
PRINCESS REGENT persevered in her determi-
nation to exclude SALDANRA from her Ministry;
and it was supposed that she would dismiss Gen.
STUBBS, the gallant Governor of Oporto, and
SAMPAIO, the military Governor of Estrema-
dura, for the free terms in which they had corn-
municated to her Royal Highness the feelings
of the people on SALDA NI4A'S dismissal. The.
Cabinet, as now composed, possesses no man of
real talent or commanding influence, and a very
short time will elapse before Portugal must wit-
ness the appointment of another Ministry, if
persons can be found to compose it who have
not been already tried and found unfit. In the
mean time the PRINCESS REGENT seems to be
left almost to her own judgment, and to the ad-
vice of her two younger sisters, one of whom, at
least, is well-known to be zealously attached to
the principles and 'fishes of her mother, the
QUEEN DOWAGER and the hopeful DON
MIGUEL. A country cannot prosper when so
governed, and we must repeat what we have so
often expressed, that the Constitutional Govern-
ment will expire, unless some great and decisive
step be taken to place the administration of affairs
in the hoods of some more able and honest men than
have yet directed the Councils of the PRINCESS
REGENT. The extinction of the hopes which

had been entertained, of the immediate peesenee
of DON PEDRo, will hasten the inevitable con-
sequence of distracted Councils.
'We have copied from the Times some most
interesting letters, detailing the passing events anti
the state of parties in Lisbon, up to the 15211
inst. inclusive.

Since writing the above we have received
O'Portuguez of the 13th, 14th, and 15th inst.,
from which we make' the following extracts :---
The fact of the Chronista, a Journal devoted to
the rights of Don PEDRO and the Charter,*being
discontinued in consequence of the obstacles
thrown in the way of its publication, speaks
volumes as to the intentions of the party into
whose hands the PRINCESS REGENT has thrown
herself.

The Lisbon Gazettes of the .ame date ato
entirely destitute of news.

BILACANZA, AUG. 1.

On the 22d of last month the standards of the rebels
(there were fifteen) were brought in here, only we did not
see the colours of the 12th, and 12th regiment of cavalry►
and of the Cacadorcs, No. 7. All the troops were ready
out of the gates to resume them, and accompanied then
to the house of the Governor, Lieutenant-Colonel Abreu,
where they will be kept till they are sent to Chaves with
the other effects, which on the same occasion have come
from Spain, such as accoutrements, saddles, Sm.
The ceremony of this' reception filled with fear and de-
spair those who hoped to see those standards again in the
hands of their associates who disgraced them.

LISBON, AUG. 13.
Yesterday arrived here the Bth battalion of Cacadoreef
which has so lunch distinguished itself by its loyalty to ooc
legitimate King, Dan Pedro IV., and its constitutional
spirit. A great number of persons went to Arrojas, at the
extremity of this capital, to meet this corps ; among them
were the Conde de Villa Flor, Commander of the armed
force, and General Clinton, Commander of the British
troops in Portugal. Their Excellencies received the bat-
talion with the clearest marks of the esteem which it de-
serves, and all the persons who were assembled at Arrojas,
and those in the streets through which the soldiers passed
to their quarters in the Convent of the Trinity, manifested
the enthusiasm which their loyalty excites in all true Por-
tuguese.

We have just learned that our agent for the sale of this
Journal, and other, booksellers in Lisbon, have been surn-1
moved before the Justices of the quarters, when various
lineations were asked them respecting the Editors of the
several Journals which appear in this capital, the persons
who direct them, those who furnish the funds, those who
revise them, Scc. '

Fully persuaded of the respect due to the laws, we are
convinced that this is only a measure of the Police, which
in fact ought to know who the persons are that have all
part in the publications which have so much influence on
public opinion. We have to announce in this manner the
above fact, to dispel the alarm which it has excited in
those persons who are acquainted with it. There is no-
thing to fear from this step, though it may give rise to tba
most terrible conjectures.

ILVAR, .AUG. 11.

Yesterday morning the brave battalion of Infantry iISTOW
arrived in this place. where it is to form part of the
garrison. The spirit of this corps is excellent, and the
enemies of our institutions are confounded at the sight. of
the brave men who have given so many proofs of their sr'
dent patriotism, and their loyalty to our immortal Sove-
reign Don Pedro IV.

It is reported to-day that Gen. Caul& is going to Lis-
bon, and that Brigadier-General Cary will have the govern-
ment of the province, and Brigadier Bent° da Franca that
of the fortress.

LISBON, AUG. 14.
The editor of the Chronista, a weekly journal, which
has been published at Lisbon ever since the Ist of March,
this.ycar, publishes to-day Nos. 24, 25, and 26, together,
and takes leave of his subscribers, beginning with Ore fol-
lowing very significant phrases :
" The editor of the Chronista, not being able to over-
come the invincible obstacles which oppose its publication,
and having to choose between his conscience and the Aso'
lute suppression of this journal, Inns nut hesitated in hig

We make no reflections on this resolution of the editor
of the Clironista : what he writes speaks sufficiently of it-
self. We have only to regret the discontinuation of a
journal which so zealously defended the rights of out legiti-
mate Sovereign Don Pedro IV.,,and the Charter which he
gave us.

VILLA !UAL, AUG. 9.
It is reported that our General received yesterday an of-
ficial letter from General Monet, informing him that an
the Portuguese rebels had been assembled to be removed
into the interior of the kingdom, and that a Captain of
Militia, having remained in a village on the frontiers, he
had given orders to look for him, and to arrest him, that
he might follow the fortunes of his comrades.

We have reason to believe that the account,
published in some of the Papers, of the un-
healthiness of our Army in Portugal, are ►nuch
exaggerated. In a climate such as that in which

they are now serving, and exposed to the tempta-,
tions of fruit and wine, it must necessarily occur
that illness must prevail to a greater extent than
in a similar body of troops serving in this
country ; but, on the whole, we believe we are
quite warranted in saying that the British troops
in Portugal have suffered from disease less
than could well have been expected. Since
their removal to Lisbon and its immediate
neighbourhood, the men have certainly not been
so healthy as they were when quartered itt the
interior of the country, which, may be readily
accounted for by the greater heat to which, from
the period of the year, they are now exposed,
and to various circumstances arising out of their
situation in or about a large capital.

His Majesty's tip Wellesley Went out of
Portsmouth harbour yesterday; and it is ex'
pected that that ship and the Warspitc will sail
for Lisbon to-morrow, or Sunday.

By letters, received this morning, from Gi-
braltar, it appears that his Majesty's ships' Genoa
and Albion, of 74 guns each, arrived at that,
place, on the 13th July, and after replenishing
their provisions, sailed again on the 15th for
Malta.

Letters from Genoa of the 15th inst., re-
ceived this morning, mention a report of the
RADCLIFF, bound from Smyrna to
that port, having been on the sth of June
robbed of all her sail, cordage, and provisions,
by two large Ipsariot pirates, and had returned
back to Smyrna on the 19th in consequence.

Letters have been received from Gibraltar, per
the Duke of York steamer, of the 9th instant.
The only intelligence they contain is that 9'
French squadron, consisting of two ships of the
line and three frigates (supposed from the west-
ward), passed up the Straits on the 4tl" The
French Naval Force in the Levant is stated
to consist of seven sail of the line, four frigates
