Imperial diadtm encircled bis brow, with so much
alacrity, and with such apparent fraternal affection.—
There is magic in a name, with a fanatical anS super-
stitious people.
This, or we strangely deceive ourselves, will be the
last act of the drama which is about to begin; to this,
we firmly believe, it will come, no matter what decla-
rations, manifestoes, conventions. protests, or counter
projects may diversify its progress. Negotiation may
su►pend—policy may protract—unforeseen events may
retard for a time—warlike successes in other quarters.
by sea ur by land, may seem to baffle this momentous
catastrophe ; but the impulse has been given—the

Letters from Lisbon state that one hundred and
twenty-eight persons have been arrested at Santarem,
and a great number ef Officers discharged. Thc•Com-
mandant General of the Province of Minho has de-
minded of the Spanish General who commands in
Galicia the arms, horses, ammunition, and money of
the Constitutionalists at the period they entered that
province.

The Prussia's State Gazette, received last night, con-
tains some additional details of the military movements

of the Russian army, up to the 11th July. We expressed
some doubt yesterday respecting the intelligence of the
reported defeat of the Russians, and them Papers fully
bear us out is our disbelief. No such defeat has been
experienced; and the opposition hitherto occasionally
offered to the progress of the Russians has been, without
much difficulty, overcome by the superior skill and
tactics which distinguish the whole of their movements.

We copy the following as tide from a Morning Paper
of this dfy, in which it is given with an appearance of,
correctness; but, on inquiry at the Government Offices,
we have learnt that they have had no information on
the subject :

" We believe we have the satisfaction of announcing, exclusively
that the Sovereign of the Brazils ha• at length taken that decided'
part respecting the proceedinp of Don Shaun which justly
belongs to him as Sovereign of Portugal. He has called, if
we are rightly informed, not only on the British Government to
interpose in his behalf, and that of the infant Quwr, but also
on Austria and France, to support, in his person, the rights of
legitimacy. What steps our Government may now deem it pro.
per to adopt is not as yet of course known, but we should be
inclined to believe, from the tenant of the Km's Speech, that no
reluctance will be manifested now in embracing the cause of the
Constitutionalists, and driving the usurper from the throne of Pop-
apt.

" In the MUM time the Marquis of Paul ILLA remains as the
Portuguese Ambassador at this Court; and Viscount ITAZATANA
has orders from the Emperor of the BRAWLS to pay him his salary
as Ambassador out of the Brazilian hinds at his command, at the
rate of 4,0001. a-year."

NATURAL HISTORY OR LOCUSTS.—.It is highly in-
!trawl to witness the habits of these insects on their leaving the
Weser crevices in the earth. After breaking their prison.bouse
they crawl up the twigs ef the shrubs during the night, and remit;
lojil the heat of the sun the next unseeing has dried their setter coat,
et shell, when the insect acquires the power of bursting it asunder

le the time of appearance of these deemed's insects. In
He suutbm pans of the United States, in Egypt, and the eastern
lens of Turkey, they sometimes make their appearance in count
hie asyriads,committing the meet terrible devastation on vegetation,

for several years. The sources from whence these destructive '
haunts proceed to their periodical though irregular migrations remain
in a great measure unknown. though they are presumed to be as hol-
lows: The insects deposit an immense number of eggs in the crevices
of the soil, but the great majority do not from terns except
under peculiar circumstances of buniid;ty and high temperature
tumihned. The eggs in some cases are known to remain several
sears in the crevices of the earth before the lima make their ap-
ptarance.—Londoss Weekis Boom
