inference that hostilities must ensue should such event

The Lisbon Gazettes in the front of this parer, toge-
ther with Private Correspondence, present a lamentable
picture of the disorder and anarchy which reigns in
Portugal. Assassinations of Professors of Universities
by the students, bands of rebels ravaging the Provinces
of Tras-os-Montes and Alentejo, seconded by the
people, and committing the most horrid cruelties—the
removal from their offices of Magistrates appointed by
the lass fill Sovereign—and regular Circulars forwarded
by the Military Governors to the Corporations, inviting
them to supplicate the Regent to proclaim himself
King, in defiance of his oath and allegiance—such are
the events now passing in the Peninsula. The efforts
of Sir FREDERICK LAMB to bring Don MIGUEL to a
sense of duty, have been unavailing, and there can be
little doubt that he Will ultimately declare himself to
be called to the Throne by the voice of the nation,—
proclaim himself absolute King, and give the final
stroke to annihilate the expiring Constitutional Go-
vernment !

Hobart Town Papers have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house to the 29th of Dec.:

FROM THE PAPER OF THE 28TII DECEMBER.

His Excellency gave a handsome entertainment to a
highly respectable party, including the officers of the
French discovery ship, at the Government House.
‘Ve are informed, that in consequence of the repre-
sentations which his Excellency has made to the Home
Government respecting the great want of labourers in
the colony, above 2000 prisoners may be expected with
the least possible delay.
Svntrzy.—The reports from all parts of the country
respecting the appearance of the crops are most favour-
able.

The German Papers received this morning, contain
no later intelligence from Vienna and Constantinople
than what appears in the Paris Journals. The latest
advices from Odessa still represent the war between
Russia and Turkey as inevitable, and the passage of
the Pr uth was positively to take place on the 13th inst.
The Tut ks were also engaged in the moat effective pre-
parations for the defence of their capital.

TiA following are extracts—
VIENNA, Aram 12.
Letters were received yesterday from Odessa, which
say that the breach between Russia and the Porte is
unavoidable, and that the Russian army has received
orders to commence hostilities on the ht (13th) of April,
by passing the Pruth. Count Von Pahlin, Governor of
Odessa (as we have already mentioned in the Algenteine
Zeitung), is appointed Governor-General of the princi•
palities. This news, which is given in the Austrian
Observer of to-day, has had the effect of depressing
our funds.

FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, Aram S.

The Mail from Constantinople of the 261 h March, and
Expresses from Bu:harest of the 3d April, have been re•
ceived, but contain nothing of importance. Tranquillity
prevailed at Constantinople; and the Divan, which had
lately offered to the Greeks, through the Patriarch, some-
thing like the conditions of the Treaty of the 6th July,
18'27, only avoiding the intervention of Foreign Powers,
as its preparations for defence is the conviction that it
cannot avoid a war with Russia. It seems, indeed, that
it has given up all hopes of preserving peace with
Russia ever since the battle of Navasip, which the
Turks consider as a Russian victory.

SEMLIN, Aram 7.

In the neighbouring province of Servia, all has been
tranquil since the arrival of the Turkish reinforcements,
and no ground has been given on the part of the
Turks for disturbance of any kind.
%%ANNA, Arum 12.—MetaHit:Ines, 882; Bank Shares, 1005.
A letter from OJessa of the 21:t if March, in the
Austrian Observer, says, "The winter has been so severe
that that alone would have hindered the arrival and
departure of ships, had the Turkish Government thrown
no ob tacks in the way. We have been much sur-
prised this week by the arrival of several :hips with
goods under the Austrian and Russian flags, from Con-
stantinople direct. Unluckily, when the Bosphorus is
again open, the hopes of our merchants are destroyed
by the certainty of a breach between Russia and tho
Porte. Military preparations are very active here and
in the vicinity ; and it has been reported for some days
that the 13th of April is fixed for the crossing of the
Pruth. Count Paldin is making preparations to go
forward with the army, being designed, as we hear,
for the Government of both principlities."—Ai,gemeine

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial
OlEce from Lieutenant General Pousosny, Governor
of Malta. Tiley were brought by Mr. BOCCHIER, Se.
cretary to the Governor, who left the island 24th ult.
The new Report made by Mr.Jacon to a Committee'
of the Privy Courcilj on the subject of the Agricul-
ture and Corn Trade of the Crlntinent, is an interesting
but %cry desultory paper. Ills inquiries tend to show,
that countries which gri.w corn cheap, cannot export it
on such low terms as may have been supposed. The
bad state of the roads in some of the States which he
visited, made it impossible for the farmer ,to remove
more than half an English load of grain, by the same
means which would suffice to carry a whole one; and
the slow rate of travelling, and the consequent expense
for horse food, necessarily add considerably tti the price
of the commodity before it can be put on ship b-ard.
In 1825, he states there was a general belief, that over
production was universal, and this, too, at a time when
almost all the places he traversed had but little stock
on hand. Mr. Jacon, toward, the close of his Rep It,
calculates that the popul4ti3ti of Europe has received
an increase since the general peace of from 28 to 29
millions of souls.
