Dispatches were th's day received at the Admiralty,
'the Foreign and Colonial Offices, from Lisbon dated
the 15th instant, brought to Falmouth by the Duke

of Kent packet, which left Lisbon on the 14th.—
By these dispatches we learn the certain fact, that Lord
BERESEORD has resigned his command in Portugal,
and is coming home in the OCEAN man of. war.

From French and Portuguese Journals, hich reached
us last night, •e have transferred to our columns a
variety of intelligence, which, upon the whole, may be
characterised as interesting, and at the same time grati•
lying. The Lisbon papers are to the 14th inst. and,
besides confirming the defeat of the rebel', which we
had the gratification of announcing on Friday last, they
locution, that the Constitutional troops were receiving
a continual accession to their numhets, by desertion
from the ranks 'of the enemy. The dispatch which
rmmt nicates the happy results of the action of the
9th, having been written the same evening on the field
of battle, is of course •ery concise ; but a more
detailed account is promised on the Following day.
As the rebels had Ito d•tibt a choice of position,
and in a province proverbially strong, their discomfi
lure is the more honourable to the rteivrs; and we
trust we sh 411 hear no more of the lukewarmness and
cowardice of the Constitutional troops. By putting
down this formidable rebellion in a very short time,
t in the most triumphant manner imaginable,

- - .
hl5 the bad taste (not to use a harsher though much
juster expression) to put forth a long•statement, in
which it is pretended, th.st the Bi itisb Cabinet has
pledged itself towards that of Fr:a:nee to obtain
from the Emperor PEDRO considerable m-)slifica-
lions of the Portuguese Constitution. This pledge,
it is gravely added, has been required and give-, for
the purpose r f satisfying the King of SPAIN, and
try qui'l zing his faithful adherents. The Paper which
has been capable of making such an assertion must have
strange notions of the morality of the British Govern-
ment, as well as of the understanding of its readers !
and we can only say that the British Minister, who
could bind himself by such a promise," would be
utterly urfit to direct the affairs of this country.—
It would be something new in diplomacy to gratify
to unfriendly Power at the expense of a friendly
cite; though we admit the notion is every way
worthy of the paper in which it has appeared. The
Portuguese Constaution is tempered enough already,
Heaven kncws ; and, to dilute it still more, might suit
the taste of the Apostolicals, but it would be utterly
seless for any purposes of tutelary rule. To gratify
King FERDINAND, who, since his accession, has never
entertained a friendly sentiment, or conducted himself
with common civility, towards this country, at the cost,
too, of a nation that has been connected with us for a
century and a half by the closest ties of friendship, would
be a curious way of manifesting the honours the justice,
and magnanimity of the British Cabinet at a time so
eventful as the present ! We need not say that there is
not a shadow of truth in the whole statement.

In the mean time, the Lisbon Papers furnish the best
7Teply to the calumnious article alluded to above, in
announcing that the British troops were preparing to
take the field, as was exclusively announced in the STAII
on Friday List. This movement, according to our vulgar
comprehension, is more expressive of a determination
to aocnpel the Court of Madrid to act honourably, than to
wink at its obliquities, as it will alto find, if it be per verse
enough to give Portugal or her Ally any further cause of
•complaWt.W'hen onceit sees theßritish standard unfdrled
in its imrredi,te neighbi urhood, any objections it may
still entertain to a reasen.,ble accommodation, ts ill soon
vanish; and the Spanish Monarch, together with h•s
Apostolic minims, will prove as flexible, as can be
wished. We are glad on another account that our
troops were about to be remr•ved horn the capital,
where they were exposed to greater temptation, and
much less under the eye of their officers, than they
would be in a fortified towin. As to the quarrels between
some of them and the bad characters, with which that
city, like every other great capital abounds, we certainly
attach very I:ttle importance to them, particularly as I

they appear to have leen pot-house disputes, and to
have had nothing to do with [solidest or national feeling.
Frankfort Papers and we Aligemeife•Ze using, both to
tire 21st, have retirees! us this morning ; but their con
tent , aith the esaeption of such as relate to Greece,
are on the whole destitute of interest. An article, under
the head of CGnstantinople, 2 d December, says that
copies of a letter were In Circulation there which Lord
COCHRAN/ had written to the Greek Government, and
in which he says that it was the interest he felt in the
cause of Greece, which had induced lifer to refrain
from contradicting all the . false reports which the
European Journals had spread respecting his expedi-
tion. He declared that the moment for answering the
expectations of the friends of Greece was not distant,
and that then he would use all his efforts to con-
tribute to its deliverance. From the simplicity of
this letter, so congenial to the character of his Lord-
ship, we are inclined to consider it as genuine ;
and we are glad to see it stated, that he was ex-
pected in the Noma in the month of • March. In
another article in these Papers, dated Trieste,
11th January, it is said that dissensions had
broken out at Hydra, on account of an impost of
900,000 Turkish piastres (about 25,0001.), which the
Greek Government demanded from the inhabitants of
that island, as well as from such H;driots as are esta-
blished in other islands of the Archipelago, as an indeins-
sky for the damage done to European merchantmen by
Greek pirates. It is further said, that in consequence
of these demands, three Hydriot vessels, which were at
Syrs, each of eighteen guns, and ninety men, renour.
t:cl thei obedience to the Greek Government, and
turned pirates. We hope this statement, notwithstand-
ing the positive manner in which it is given, is not
accurate; but should it, contrary to our expectation,
prove correct, we would then recommend that the
Captains, and the whole of the crew, should be
punished as irreclaimable malefactors, in order that
their punishment might deter others from following
their example. An English cutter, it is added, was
watching their movs meats. Advices from Smyrna of
the 15th December, .represent IDRAHIM PACHA as
stationed before the gates of Napoli, and as having
captured 10,000 persons under the very guns of that
important place. They are described as fugitives from
Calamata, Tripolissa, and other places in the Morea,
occupied by the enemy. These unfortunate people had
bivouacked for a year under the walls of Napoli, and
could never obtain permission to enter the town ; and it is
further stated, that no attempt was made by the garrison
to protect them from the rage of IBRAHIM PACHA.
—ln conclusion, it is affirmed that the Greek Govern.
Extent had fled to Poros, fraying previously sur k as low
as possible; and that the greatest disorder prevailed
amongst the Greeks, who, in addition to their other

air:lll6es, wete perishing uith hunger. As all these
dire vicissitudes must have befallen that people towards
the beenning of December, to enable them to be known
At Smyrna towards the n.iddle of that month, we can-
rot refrain from an expression of surprise that no act.

LEGIIOEN, Javoaav t.
Accounts which we receive from 3larseitle 9, from highly respect-
able authotity, bring positive information that Lord Cochrane
was about to embark (on the 3d or 4th of this month) on board a
very fine brig,purchased for him, the difficulties which stood in the
way of his expedition leaving been removed. His squadron will
consist of this brig, of the frigate built in America, another vessel,
the steamboat, which is already at Napoli, and several of Alison'',
vessels : will be reinforced in the sequel by the steam-boats ex-
pected from England. All the vessels are completely equipped,
and both provisions and pay for the crews for the next four months
are secured, partly by the funds placed at his disposal, and partly by
the supplies collected tor him in Napoli and Hydr s. After the lapse of
these tour months, hr says he shall look to Turkey and Rgypt for
payment, so that be will be able to commence and to complete his
operations without the slightest demands on the resources of Greece,
which is already so exhausted. He sets out with the firm convic-
tion, that he shall speedily effect something decisive, and thereby
must powerfully second the intervention of the Christian Powers
made at Constantinople at the sanie time, but quite independently
of his expedition. He hopes to arrive in the Archipelago about
the middle of this month, and we shall then undoubtedly bear
sosiething interesting of his proceedings.

Letters frotn the frontiers of Spain state, that the
Spanish Government have sent orders for a general armament ;
also that the same has been forwarded to all the Provinces. By
this it appears they are afraid, should a war take place, that the
English will ma►e a descent on some part of their sea coast.

OXFORD, JANUARY 28:
THE BISHOP OF OXFORD.

The venerable and much revered Bishop of Oxroso, died on
Saturday evening last, after a long illness, in the 60th year of his
age. His Lordship WAS a younger son of the late Earl of DA IST..
!SOUTH, 1111 a the brother of the present Earl. His Lordship's dis-
order was a pulmonary consumption, which has proved fatal to
many of his family. He first entered at Christ Church, front which
society he was elected a Fellow of All Souls, of which CoSege he
was chosen Warden, on the death of Dr. koala in 1817, at which
time he was Bishop of Ox►uso; fur on the death of Dr. Jaccsow, in
1815, be was presented to that see. lie took the Degree st
in 1791, and in 1805. Our Oxford friends talk of Arch.
deacon Pere, as the probable successor of his Lordship.
