A detachment of Spanish prisouers arrived on the
11th January at Bourdeaus, as well as the Ex-Minister

Salk, Miguel.
It was reported in London that preparations were
making at Lisbon for a grand expedition, destined to
attack the Brazils, and -that Count. Palmella was to go
to England. The information received from Lisbon, of
the 30th, proves that all-these reports have not the least
foundation. In regard to the Portuguese armament,
the marine of Portugal only consists of and ship of SO
guns, 'three frigates, four corvettes, and five sloops of
war, and half of these can scarce keep the sea. St me
transporti are preparing at 'Lisbon, 'to convey troops to
the-Cape de Verd islands, to prevent them from being
taken by a coup tie maim by Lord Cochrane.

On the birth-day of the Emperor, his Majesty gave
the Order' of Saint Wladimer to the Grand Dukes Ni-
cholas and Michael; his Majesty also pardoned a great
number of persons.
FROM THE COURIER FRASCATI{ OF FRIDAY.
From thelanguage which the English Ministerial Jour-
nals have held for the last three months, and from the
measures which have been taken by the English Go-
vernment, it is difficult not to believe that if our Govern-
ment gives the slightest assistance to Spain in an attempt
to get back her American colonies, the British Cabinet
will declare war against us. The disastrous cOnse-
quinces which a war with England has always entailed
:upon this nation cannot have been forgotten, and what-
ever affection our Ministers may feel for the principles
'Oche Holy Alliance, however strong their desire to lee
*Ow principles triumph in America, as they have al-
:ready made them triumph in Spain, however,disposed
they may be to make this fresh concession to the party
which dreams of nothing but war and conquests; we
may be permitted to hope that the imminent danger
which would arise from such a decision, will arrest
those projects which have excited the anxiety of Eng-
land, and that South America will not be obliged :in
secure, by a new war and-by fresh sacrifice the indepe*
enceOf which no humap,,poWee Can,pow deprive her: • '
PARIS, JANUARY ic..
FROM THE JOURNAL DEE DEBATE. ... •
`• The Courier persists in seeing hostile intentions in
the most pacific measures ; in the embarkment, at Brest,
of 1,200 men, for our West India Colonies, he pretends
to see, even now, that this embarkation disturbs Ersg-
land, though we have said that the destination of thise
troops was well known to the English Governinent, as
the French Government has been informed of some
troops having been recently sent to Demerara; we
must therefore repeat, that this measure is taken in exe-
cution of an ordonnauce of the King, inserted in the
Journal des .Deouts on January 11, and of which we
cannot praise too highly the prudence; since, by sub-
stituting troops of the line fOr Culonial troops, it has
provided both for the security of the Colonies, and the
maintenance of order. Another English Paper speaks in
the same manner as The Courier-of an important arma-
ment at Toulon. The whole importance, how ever,is this :
—A frigate is there, ready for sea, to carry General
Guillerninot to Constantinople—another frigate is ready
to carry the French Consul to Tunis,
.where he is or-
dered to demand reparation for violations of treaties
which took place during the war in Spain. To us it
seems impossible that the English-Papers, and par ticu-
larly the Courier, can believe reports that they so often
repeat And discuss so minutely. For, consulting. the
price of Stocks, we observe that they are nearly 90,•and
these writers must, therefore, see that general opinion is
quite peaceable at London as well as at Paris, where
the Funds are rising slowly, but in :.uch a manner s
will most assuredly bring them to par.
We must now remark on a Journal which ifs-'
proaches us with repeating assurances of peace, with-
out anybody having called for them, that we never'
have given such assurances without their having been
called for by the Foreign Journals, and by the French
Papers, which copy them without reserve and without

This forenoon we received Brussels Papers to the
17th inst. from which the following are extracts :
