LISBON, MAY 8.

The conspiracy, so fortunately discovered, has not
excited so much sensation here a; might have been
feared : only four conspirator: appear to have been
arrested, and two of these Are servants.

M. Januario das Neves, formerly Under Secretary
to Lord Beresford, with some others of his own rank,
being discontented with the present state of things,
formed a plan to overthrow the Constitution. Their
first object was to gain the army, but it was necessary
first to find some. Officer of rail; to head them, and
they fixed on General Luiz do Rego Bareilo as likely
to join them. Januario accordingly applied to him,
but he declined giving a decisive answer, and re-
quested him to return at a certain hour the fol-
lowing day. The Minister of Justice was then made
acquainted with the circumstance, and Januario
developed the plot before concealed witnesses.—
He was immediatel•• taken up. No person of high
rank is named as being implicated, but Many are
suspected, whether with or without sufficient reason
will doubtless appear hereafter, wl.en the affair shall
be fully investigated.

Ttre French Papers of Monday rep re,ent the affairs
of the Greeks in a critical situation. The Turks are
making preparations for advancing on Livadia and
the Morea with an army of 60,000 men, under the
Puha of Salonica. Larissa is still in the possession
of the Turks; and, says a letter fiern Semlin, " If
fortune is favourable to the Musselmen, which people
are sufficiently disposed to believe, on account of the
number of their troops, their fanaticism against the
Christians, and the .assistance which they ;-eceire far
their military operations.kom English beers, there is
reason to fear a great catastrophe. The Greeks will
fight with the courage of despair, because they know
that a Turkish amnesty is for them a sentence of
death, and that their destruction is resolved on by
the Divan."

Accounts from Smyrna, of the 3d ult. state, that
the Capitan Pacha was still at Scio, on the 30th of
April. Except the twenty-one villages of Mastic,
which were carefuliy guarded by troops, a'l the rest
of the interior of the island continued to be pillaged,
oevastated, and burned. Several quarters of the
town were still on file, the air was infected with the
stench of the carcases, they were seen floating on the
sea, and striking against vessels. Since the first day
when the Turks made the assault from eight to ten
thousand individuals of all ages and both sexes are
stated to have perished; upwards of fifteen thousand
were confined as slaves in the citadel, or on board ves-
sels, but respecting whom, however, the Capitan
Pacha waits the orders of his Government.
The Turks return from time to time from the inte-
rior of the island to the town, bringing with them a
number of women and children as slaves.

The Journal de Paris has the following absurd
story :—•" We have received a letter from Salamanca,
of which we cannot guarantee the authenticity ; it
contains the following details :—The treaty concluded
some time ago between Spain and Portugal has soon
received its execution ; 12,000 Portuguese troops, of
whom 2000 are cavalry, and a fine park of artillery,
under the command of SEPULVBDA, began to arrive
here yesterday, attended by the Chief of the Staff,
Don CABRAIRA. They form two divisions, the one
marching on Segovia, the other on Valladolid. All
the troops are in fine order:"

The French Journals are principally filled with ac-
counts from Spain, but these are superseded by more
authentic intelligence from that country contained in
Madrid Papers to the 13th instant, which have been
received by express. The Cortes are proceeding in
the business of the nation calmly and dispassionately,
without being either intimidated or influenced by the
plots that are now and then exploding in the Provinces.

DiIOW* SONIA, Rasizeol sod Pkwe, presented a pro-
position to the Cones, for an augmentation of 12,000
men to the Militia in active service, in consideration
of the disturbed state of some of the Provinces andl
the small number of the regular forces ; this body
only to continue under arms for eight months in the
year. The proposition, which Was supported by se-
veral Deputies, was agreed to.
On the 9th, the Cones decreed the same pension
to French refugees fleeing from prosecution at home
for political offences, which they had previously
granted to the Italian Patriots escaping from a fo-
! reign invader.
We extract the following from the Universal of
the 12th instant:

The Authorities having received information
that during the night a meeting of factious indivi-
duals was intended to be held without the Puerta de
Fuencarral, and towards the boundary of La Mon-
cloa, made the necessary arrangements for guarding
the passages to that quarter, while the suspected
houses were searched. For this purpose the national
horse militia occupied the road from the Prado to
the Puerta de Hierro, while the Commanding Gene-
ral in person, accompanied by a party of infantry,
proceeded to execute the prescribed investigation.
The result s-as, that there were' found in the inn
known by the name of San Rafael, which is situated
without the Puerta de Fuencarral, and the owner of
which is Don Jtye Navarro del Dossal, Agent to the
Queen of Etruria, four or five horses, some blunder-
busses, pleas of cartouches and powder, and four
or five persons, who have been delivered into the
hands of justice.
" It appears that the project was to form a sedi-

tious party for no other purpiise than that it might
be said i❑ the Provinces that there were such bands
in the neighbourhood of the capital. If this was the
design, it has, for this time, been frustrated, and its
authors must be convinced that the persons whose
duty it is to preseive tranquillity, and disconcert
such machinations, do not sleep on their posts.—
Names arc mentioned as those of the men arrested,
but we can only state for certain that the owner of
the inn is one of the number."

The French are strengthening the Cordon Sana-
taire on the Spanish frontier. General DUNADIEU is
again spoken of as Ickpector-General. It is said that
6,000 men have received orders to march towards
Perpignan and Bayonne.

a foreign Court.
The intelligence from St. Petersburgh, which is to
the Ist instant, is silent as to the question of peace or
war ; but an article from Wilna, of the 23th ult.
states, that a Courier had an ived there from St. Pe-
tersburgh, who had brought to his Imperial High-
ness the Grand Duke NICHOLAS the news, that the
good understanding with the Turks is re•established.
It is said that the Courier has also brought orders for
