LISBON, JULY 27.

We have already published, in other Numbers of this
Journal, the testimonies of approbation which various
Members of the Diplomatic Body residing at this Court
have received from etior respes.ttve o..c.iiments for
their conduct in the crisis of the 30th April, in which
they so greatly contributed to secure the legitimacy of
the Throne, and to deliver this kingdom from the hor-
rors of anarchy ; and it is our grateful duty not to pass
over in silence whatever may come to our knowledge on
this subject, because, if nobody who is acquainted with
the facts can be insensible to the impottant services
which the foreign Minister s performed on that occasion,
it is just that it should be known that they were una-
nimousry eommended by their Governments.
Ills Britannic Majesty, in a Cabinet letter, written
with his own hand, to the King our Sovereign, ex-
pressed to his Majesty that he had received with the
greatest satisfaction his letter, dated on board the
Windsor Castle, by which letter he was assured of the
personal safety of his Majesty, and at the same time of
the share which his naval force had happily had in con-
tributing to his safety ; and in the same letter his Bri-
tannic Majesty expresses his satisfaction that the services'
of Sir Edward Thornton were acceptable and useful
to the King our Sovereign; and that having already
signified his approbation to the Officers of the British
Navy for their conduct on that occasion, granting
them the promotion which his Majesty was pleased to
ask for them ; he also consented that they should re-
ceive the marks of gratitude which his Majesty was
pleased to offer them.
His Holiness, granting to the most excellent and re-
vered Archbishop of Nazianzo permission to accept and
wear the insignia of the Grand Cross of the Order of
Nossa Senbora da Concelcao of Villa Vicpsa, which his
Majesty conferred on him for his services on that occa-
sion, was pleased also, particularly to commend the
conduct of the Nuncio, as his Excellency officially in-
formed the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in a
note of the 23d inst.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the King of
Denmark, writing to the Charge d'Affaires of that So-
vereign at this Court, relative to the events that took
place at Lisbon up to the 14th of May, says—" The
representatives of the Sovereigns shewed their august
character on this occasion ; they contributed to the tri-
umph of the principles which are the safeguard of legi-
timate power, and of public peace and tranquillity.
Your conduct and your language on this occasion have
merited the august approbation of his Majesty."
The same sentiments are so general, that even those
Governments who had no Representatives here at that
time have expressed their sentiments to his Majesty's
Ministers at their Courts. Thus Count Bernstorff, Mi-
nister -for Foreign Affairs to the King of Prussia, speak-
ing to Count Oriolla on this subject, said to him, " that
he much regretted there was no diplomatic agent for
Prussia at Lisbon at that time, as he would not have
been behind the others in manifesting to the King of

Portugal the interest which Europe takes in his aUgnst
person."

Reports have been spread by the English and French
Journals, of the approaching arrival of a corps of Ha.
noverian troops in Portugal ; we are authorised formally
and officially to contradict this statement; and in the
same manner to give the assurance, that no convention
has been concluded on the subject ; and even -that the
full powers which would be necessary to conclude such
a convention have not been given. - - . •
After this official statement, the Editor observes, how
necessary it is to be circimspect in listening to reprn ti
devoid of authority, at a time when so many confl
ing passions and interests are at wo: k. If it 0:,.;
ever be necessary, for the good of the State, to admit
,t
body of troops of a friendly nation, or even of foitia
hired troops, such as many of the great Powers of Eu.
rope have in their pay, to lessen the number of hands
taken from agriculture, and other important reasons,
which are no dishonour to those nations that make use
of such assistance, this would never affect the Portu.
guese loyalty, which is far above such petty considera.
tions. It is, however, useless to dwell on the subject,
as the report of the coming of foreign troops is false.

Letters have been received from Buenos Ayres, of
the 3d of June. They contain no political or comencr.
cial news.

Letters have been received from Jamaica to the 6th
of July. The Abeona, TURNER, sailed from Monata
Bay the sth of July, when all was quiet, but it was
feared that fresh disturbances would break out. the
packet was to sail on the 15th. The Eliza, Pr.timmEn,
arrived at Liverpool from Montego Bay, sailed the
same time, gives the same account. The following
further intelligence has been received at the New En.;
land and Jamaica Coffee Houses:
