TursnA Y, SEPTEMBER '2l.

Pr is ate Letters received by the Lisbon Mail this morning,
confirm the accounts which we published a few days ago, of
confusion and insubordination prevailing in every depart-
ment. MIGUEL has become totally regardless of tho demands
of his people ; and the workmen in the arsenal have fairly
struck. In the meantime, he secures, for his own purposes,
41i the money and valuables within his avaricious reach ; all
which lie deposits on board a packet lying off his palace, by
which he can start off at his pleasure, when he can no longer
tarry—an event daily, and anxiously looked for by all classes
in his capital.

The accounts received from Brussels continue to be of a
gloomy character. The greatest disunion prevails amongst
all classes; and the KING'S speech to the States-General
was publicly burnt before the Hotel de Ville. Well grounded
app eliensions are now entertained, of violent measures being
resorted to, between the Dutch and the Belgians. The non-
arrival of the steam-packets, however, precludes the possi-
bility of our giving accurate details, with respect to fresh
,listurbances which we hear of—and which have excited an
unus•ial sensation.

The discrepant views of our contemporary Journalists,
on the present prospects of the internal affairs of France,
"annot be more clearly seen, than by the perusal of
that article of • our Paper which we entitle the
Spirit of the Journals ; and in which, to-day, our
readers will be able to perceive the sentiments of
the Morning Herald and Morning Post, as diametri-
cally- opposite to each other, as it is possible for them
to be, 115 to what the medical world would term their
prognosis of French politics. We are generally of a
sceptical tendency. We think truth can seldom be de-
clared by a " Yes," or a " No." We detest positive bold,
assertion, although we know its success with the world;
and are inclined, however unprofitable to our fame, to
acknowledge, that we only conjecture, when our knowledge
incomplete. Our duty is, we conceive, as pretty well
abridged in our motto—to display facts and opinions, and to
indicate, es far as we can, truth.
Acting up, therefore, to our motto, we have made the ex-
t racts above alluded to, and likewise we have taken the liberty
to extract from the columns of our cotemporary, the I/bra-
iny Post, a curious account of one of the New Political Pari-
sian Clubs. In addition to all these facts and opinions,which we
have to-day afforded our Readers, to enable them to form a
judgment for themselves on the future of French his-
tory, we have, what we consider, the peculiar felicity
of presenting them with a letter addressed to us by
an eminent literary character in France—one, the
pi ech.ctiens of whose genius are admired, cot only in his
own country, but throughout Europe; and whose general
acuteness of intellect, and capability for accurate observa-
tion, on the affairs of his own nation, all must ac-
knowledge who have enjoyed an opportunity of his ac-
quaintance. We are promised from this gentleman a series
of litters on the present state of France. We are fearful
his composition may suffer by translation ; and we hope our
readcis will attribute any Anglieisais, or awkwardness of ex-
press ion, to the haste with which we areebliged to accomplish
our task, and our anxiety to convey close interpretation
of the original. Our own conjectures and wishes on the
important subject we gave in our last Paper, and shall recur
to them on a future day.
