oPORTO, SEPTEMBER 29.

The insolence of the evil-minded has risen lately to
great height, as we are assured, speakingwith ueheard-
of effrontery, inventing fables at pleasure, and publish•
ing them among the incautious people, who, being
unprepared, listened with consternation to what thow
individuals published, announcing to them fatal events,
and even implicating in .their fictions the fidelity d
the 18th regiment, which is so firm in the caused
Royalty, with great regularity and harmony, by which
it has merited the praises of the kfant Don Michael, 0
was stated in the order of the day. Such men, hew.
ever, seem worthy of punishment, when recognised t:
the authors and propagators of such news, and we as-
certain that the competent authorities will epquire iota
such scandalous facts, which may affect the publican,.
quility amidst the calm which we happily enjoy.

LISBON, OCTOBER 4.
The Gazette of to-day contains a letter from the MBl•-
tary Governor of Algarve, announcing the liberty i.
the King of Spain, and the entrance of the Duke 01
Angouleme into Cadiz on the 28th of September.
This letter is signed Jose Corea do Millo. Headlitagi
ters, Villa Real de Santo Antonio, 30th September.

In another column we have given the French accent
of one of the most severe battles fought in the Pained;
with the exception, perhaps, of that of Mriatis, in CS'
talonia. It was an engagement between the MIA
under General LAnecne,mctuaLlN, and the Collin'
tional General, PLASENCIA, in Estremadura;
though the French claim the. victory, it is allowelifig.
the Spaniards disputed every inch of ground '4010"
A few such efforts in the early pact of the camp
might have led to a very different termination 000
taken place.
_ We also present an Address of the King d
the day before he left Cadiz. It forms a singular felt
trast to that which he issued two days afterwards h
the French camp ; and it is charitable to suppose 1.1
he was not a free agent in either cast.
Our accounts from 'Madrid, vie RityPtule, this°,
ing are full of conjectures as to the effect the libera*

alculation, and its d:sbursements are not yet at an end, ,
he occupation of the fortresses which our troops have
lready taken, and those which they eagerly wish toJ
possess, especially Cadiz and Barcelona, will serve, it is
'
said, to enforce the obtaining of the indemnity, which
France of course claims. Some persons already speak
of the three 13iscay an Provinces; others .f the Baleatit
Islands; and others again, some one of the Colonies.
We learn that 12,000 French troops entered Cadiz on
the 31. All the battalions of the Militia have laid down
their arms, and an amnesty had been promised them.
The emigration to Gibraltar and England is considera-
ble, some persons who are too deeply implicated not
venturing to depend upon the promises of the King
Ind the Duke. Though General Campana is appointed
Governor of Cadiz, it is thought that a French General
wilt command in the place. The Duke was to enter
on the 4th. The King sent, on the evening of the 3d,
e7ders to the commanders of all the fortresses,'especially
to Mina, to make their submission, and all will probably
be soon finished.

atch and a quantity of silver, with which they got clear off.

,nveying full cargoes to the festive scene.
JEW versus GENTILE—A question, rather singular in
nature, and of some importance to the Clergy of the Establish-
nt, is, we understand, likely to furnish employment for the Gen-
' Ram of the Long Robe. It is well known that a severe contest
sas a few weeks since carried on in the parish of St. Stephen, Cole-
san.street, for the appointment of their Rectiar. The right of
toting is in the parish, hut confined to resident householders.. Ulti-
mately a Reverend Gentleman was found to have a majority of
lair over his next competitor, and declared to be duly elected.
Prom this decision, however, an appeal has been made by means of
11111 in Chancery, it being ;Hedged that certain Gentlemen of the
Jewish persuasion whose votes were rejected at the election on
account of their religious opinions, were perfectly qualified to exer-
do their elective franchise.
It appears that whenever a bill of parcels is called an
invoice, in a letter accompanying it, it Is liable to double postage ;
tat that when it is called a bill of parcels, it is only liable to single

postage.
The sweet•toothed rats in the %Vest Indies are so busy
amongst-the sugar-canes, that CHARI43 Rose ELLIS,
Esq. has been induced to send a fautous rat-catcher
(John Roberts, of Seaford) to kill these destructive ver-
min on his estates in Jamaica, at a salary of forty pounds
per annum, and board and lodging free of expense. On
IVednesday, Roberts attended at Lewes with 17 tenets
and three dogs, to take Jarratt's Van for London, on his
wa.7 to Blackwall to embark for his destination.
A Gotr:EN Parise.—Wednesday, while a number of
nasigators were digging for a drain to the sewer at
Newington, one of them, on removing some gravel,
lowld n guinea, and on communicating the intelligence
to a comrade:, they commenced, a diligent search, and
found a few more, till at length the news spread to the
whole of the gang, amounting to about thirty, and a
general search commenced. One of them picked up
seven, which satisfied hiM, and he repaired to a public-
house, declaring that be would work no more that day.
The whole number found, amounted to about forty.—
They are all of the reign of the late King, and-the date
about forty years back.
The Irish papers contain an account of a serious
tint in Enniskillen yesterday se'nnight, between a party
of Orangemen and some Roman Catholics. Tire Earl
of Enniskillen and several Magistrates having intima-
tion of the intended breach of the peace attended the
fair. These Magistrates conceived the best mode of
preserving the peace was to deprive all suspicious per-
sons of weapons, and with this view seized on every
person carrying a stick, and took it from him. While
the Magistrates continued in the fair no disturbance
took place ; but the momentthey retired a desperate riot
ensued, in which several persons were severely beaten.
An account has been received of the death of Gomm
who has left the King FERDINAND VII. his heir to a
property of 150 millions of rials, £1,500,000 sterling.
EALLAsTERos.—The news given yesterday evening
by the Etoik, is much more in harmony with that
which preceded it, than with the hopes and conjectures
Which the last Proclamation of the Regency called
forth. It was not credited that the reception given to
BALLesTirtos would have any consequence for any'
ether person but for himself ; but it appears that
the displeasure felt by FkiRDINAND at the sight of
this ci-devant Constitutional Chief, has induced him
,to spare himself by a general measure, all such un.
Peasant feelings in future. The measure is exten-
Aloe and decisive, for it :caches even the officers of
the militia; the banishment which it pronounces is per.
petual—the distance, 15 leagues; and by these means
all such disagreeable meetings are rendered impossible.
There is, however, an exception for officers confirmed
by the Urgency. BALLASTEROS is not in this case,
since the .13so refused to see him; BALLASTEROS had
Lot then recognised the Regency, and had not been re-
cognised and confirmed by it, as has been said. BAT,
LAATEItOi, however, Preserved the command of hi:
army ; he remained in possession of his honours and of
Ids functions; it was therefore only by she french army
that he was confirmed and acknowledged. This recog-
nition and confirmation are of no value to him now,
therefore since the giNG refuses to see hull.--(Eros die
