GENERAL POLTCE OFFICE.

isth.-0 I, Jose Joaquim Rodriguez de Basta*, of his Majesty's
Council, Intendant General of Police, &c. make known, that nightly
assemblages and serenades in the streets and squares being prohibited,
especially after the retreat is sounded, yet suck have lately taken
place in this CapitaL

" However plausible the motives for such assemblages may be,
they mutt not be tolerated, as well in regard to the prohibition as on
account of the danger that they may degenerate into riot and dis-
order ; and of the alarm which they give to peaceful citizens, in the
asylum of their own habitations. For these reasons, all persons seho,
after the sounding of the retreat, shall be found in the streets
or squares of this Capital, forming numerous assemblages or
serenades, shall be dispersed by the Military Paroles, or by
the officers of justice going their rounds, and if they do not obey,
they shall be arrested and conducted to prison to suffer the penalty
which they have incurred according to the laws.
" That no one may be ignorant of the above, this notice is to be
posted up at the usual places.

" JOSE JOAQUIM RODRIGUEZ DE BASTOS.

" Lisbon, September 1•, 1826."

14tb.—By letters from Braga of the 7th, it appears
that the public tranquillity had not been disturbed in
that city and province. •
Letters from Estremoz of the 9th say, that the re-
bellious soldiers in Spain are greatly di sconcerted,having
discovered haw greatly they were deceived. Many have
become ill, and they are beginning to desert. Some mi-
litiamen and seven soldiers cf the 17th Regiment have
arrived at the Monte de Sancha Ladra, wha say that all
their comrades would return if they knew that they would
be pardoned. The Spaniards who have fled from Spain,
and were at Borba, were ordered to go farther into the
interior, (to Monte Mor o Novo), to avoid the suspicion,
that, being near the frontier,they might try to entice more.
15th—The Gazette prints, by superior commend, the
proceedings in the King's Bench, on the affair of a libel
on the Marquis de Pairnella.

ilith.—The accounts from the provinces are satisfactory.

Letters from Vienna of 17th Augast, have been re-
ceived, which state, that the Infant Den Miguel con-
tinues to enjoy perfect health. The last Bulletin of the
health of the Princess Regent, dated Cintra, 12:h Sept.
is favourable.

(These Papers contain numerous congratulations to the Princess
Regent, on the establishment of the Constitution, and the answers
to them.)

We ha►e recei►ed the Paris Morning Papers of Sa-
turday. and the Mode dated Sunday. They contain scarcely any
news of the least Interest. The Count n'Esracxe, who struck the
Ensign of the Guard for offering the tame salute to the Infant Don
Calmat as the KINN has been rewarded for his gallant exploit, by
being created a Grandee of Spain of the first class.

We have also received the Etoile, dated yesterday,

and other French rapers, by express. Thi follovoin g.
are extracts:
CONSTANTINOPLII, Almon L.
A letter from Alexandria, dated July 19, announces,
that eight or nine thousand men, and a convoy of pro
visions, will sail in the beginning of August for the Motes.
A mortis this moment spread that hostilities have broken out
between the Persians and the Russians, on account of a frontier dis-
trict which both parties claim.
fiIIYRNA, Atmore 58.

An ordinance of the Consul• General of France, dated
the 11th. if this mrnth) has supptetsed No. 244 bf the
Oriental Spectator, and suspended that Journal till it
should be confided to another Editor. The principal
parts of this Ordinance say that one of the titles of which
his Most Christian Majesty is the most proud is, that
of Protector of the Chi istian Religion in the Levant ;
that in appointing a Consul-Generil in Smyrna, the
King has specially charged hire tolkotect, to defend.
and cause to be n spected in his name the religion which
his Majesty professes, as well as the greater number of
his subjects; that publicly to attack in a periodical
journal points of belief, which serve as the basis of this
religion, is opposing this part of the mission, and acting
against the authority of the King.

(We have received this, No. 244, there is a blank in it which w;
probably filled by the article complained of.)

The French subject: met on the Bth, in the house of
the Consul-General, to determine on the employment of
120,000 francs, which the French Government grants
for building an hospital. The ground has been pur-
chased, and the work will be commenced immediately.
The English met on the same day, at the Cassino of
Smyrna, to ask Captain Hamilton by virtue of the ordi-
nances of the King of England, if the British naval force
will not protect them against the daring enterprises
which are feared from Lord Cochrane?

The Rhinoceros, a large transport, whith brought
250,000 rations to the French squallron, being on the
24th July near Cape St.Angelo,was surrounded by eight
mistics, but aftEr three cannon shot and a brisk bre of
musketry, the pirates were frightened and took flight,
and by favour of the darkness escaped the just punish-
ment they deserved.
An English ship of war has brought hither twenty Arab pri-
soners, whom Goura has given to Commodore, Hamilton.

Accounts from the frontless of Russia announce that
several Councils had been held at Moscow, in which all the Rua.
, sian Ministers of State, and many Senators bad been consuked.. It
was generally thought that the Porte endeavoured to prolong the
negociations, in order to gain time to organize her troops, and that
it became the Emperor Nicuonns to fix a time for receiving a cate-
gorical answer to all bis claims. In consequence of this decision,
a declaration had been drawn up in the name of the Avvecnev,
and not, as it was stated in the preceding Journals, in that of his
Plenipotentiaries, though it was delivered by the latter to the
Turkish Commissioners, who forwarded it to Constantinople. A
copy of this declaration was also given by Count NIMIELIODII to all
the European Ambassadors at Ifeecovr, who immediately dis-
patched it to their respective Courts. In this document, the time
axed for receiving the final answer of the Porte is the 7th of Oc-
tober, after which, if the concessions required are not made, the
Russian troops will occupy the Principalities, and war may be con-
sidered as begun.

The Duke of YORK rode out yesterday afternoon,
about one o'clock, for nearly two hours. His Royal Highness in-
spected the new building erecting for his residence in the King's
Palace, St. James's. Owing to the unfavourable state if the wea.
thy., the Royal Duke took his drive in his close carriage. Sir
HRRRICRT TAYLOR. and Sir WILLOW:IRT GORDON, QUilletriliter
General, transacted business with his Royal Highness in the course
of the morning.
The Duke of CLARgNCE has arrived at Frankfort.

About half-past twelve o'clock yesterday, Lord
Flom.la de WALDIDI, Linder Secretary of &ate for Foreign Affairs,
left his residence in Audiey-square, for Dover, on his way to Paris.
The account of the Countess of ELDON'S health yes-
terday was very favourable—" Her Ladyship is a great deal better
to-day."
Mr. MEATICS, the King's Messenger. who arrived in
town on Friday evening from Lisbon, brought despatches from Mr.
Secretary CANNING at Paris (through which city Mr. Mums
passed on his way to England), to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, which
Mr. Mmes delivered at Walmer Castle, Kent, where his Lord.
ship is at present staying previous to his coming to town.
Mr. Wri.mor-Hoarox, Under Secretary of State for
the Colonial Department, arrived in town yesterday, from a visit to
Mr. Husussox, at his seat at Eartham, Sussex.
Count Littsfor, the Russi.sn Ambassador at London,
has been created a Prince, on occasion of the Coronation of the
Estraaoa.

Despatches were received yesterday morning, at the
Colonial Depaisment, from Barbadoes and Antigua.
Mr. CANNING (says the Courier Francais) has only
made himself remarkable, in the few public places in which he has
appeared, by the great simplicity of his costume and manners ; his
reputation is his only retinue; and it is quite suMeient to excite a
powerful interest with regard to him wherever he is seen. Of this
fact, those who were present at the Opera on Monday, and the next
night at theTheatre Francais, had the means of satisfying themselves.
The Archbishop of TuAN i 3 arrived at Killalla, where
be is to bold his Triennial Visitation.

Sir WALTER SCOTT, it is reported, is shortly to be
married to a Lady of immense wealth. Mr. BRUCE, who, under
the patronage of the late Lord blat.vicia, became Professor of
Logic in the University of Edinburgh, and afterwards Historio-
grapher to the East India Company, and lastly, in conjunction with
Sir D. Hurray &Ala, Printer to the Kum for Scotland, lately died,
leaving behind him, to a maiden sister, an immense fortune, wine
say of three hundred thousand pounds. The worthy Baronet, it. is
reported, has successfully made love to this accomplished Lady,
who, on her part, insists on his receiving from her, before marriage,
one hundred thousand pounds to clear his incumbrances. Who,
after this, will say, that the climate of Scotland is cold ?
Lord BEERHAVEN, SOLI of the Earl of BANTRY, is
spoken of as a Candidate for Cork City, Mr. &oar listran having
determined not to offer himself as a Candidate. •

Messrs. Tanitaniiat ras,Olthe Adelphi Theatre,
it would seem, are determined to deserve a continuation of their
last year's success. In addition to the former strength of the Com-
pany, a Cops de Ballet of peculiar talent, under the management of
Hot.t.ix, we understand, are engaged. Mr. TOMLINS, the celebrated
painter, also joins them ; and, though last, not least, an engagement
has been formed with that clever actress, Mn. H. HIRSH fa, of Drury
Lane Theatre.

We are as,ured that a pasty of Officers, a few weeks
ago, purchased an ass, fur the inhuman purpose of baiting icand
the poor animal was literally torn to pieces by bull dogs! which
these ferocious beings in human shag; had provided for their brutal
sport.—Matcksfietit

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Private letters lust received from Vienna state that the Metalliques
f:U 2 per cent. on the 15th inst. owing to a cons ideraWe failure
having taken place on that day. A Mr. Ca max, who bad
bought largely in the Funds, could not fulfil his engagements; but
at three o'clock a reaction took plat e, and the bletalliques rose
again to 891. •

By the same conveyance accounts have been received from Akcr.
Mena, which state that great expectations were entertained that the
differences between the Russians and Turks would come to an
amicable settlement.

Private information from Odeaa states, that if the
Turks do not accept the terms of Russia on the 7th Oct. Russia
will immediately march her Army of Occupation, amounting to
45,006 men. She will also put in movement 100,000, which will
take the diferent roads towards Kiovie, Padolia, and Ukraine ; the
former Army will have its winter quarters at Bu•,harest.

It is stated in a letter from Lisbon of the 7th instant,
that the REGENT will not accept of the services of the
Spanish troops who have passed the Portuguese frontier.
These troops cannot be disarmed, but they will be sent
back into Spain. The letter adds a fact which cannot
be disputed, namely—that" the situation of the Princess
REGENT is difficulr:'

About twelve o'clock on Sunday night a fire broke
out in the house of Mr. Page, a coal-merchant, Agnes-
c►rcus, Old-street-road, which in a few minutes caught
the staircase, and threatened not only the destruction of
the house, but the lives of the whole family and lodgers,
all of whrm had retired to rest. In a short time the
ground floor was in one blaze of fire, which was making)
rapid progress by the staircase towards the first floor,
before the arrival of the firemen and engines. Their
first attention was directed to the preservation of the in-
mates. Ladders were procured by great exertions, and
some of them estaped unhurt, in their night-clothes
only, from the second-floor windows. Two lodgers, a
man and his wife, threw themselves from the second-
Moor windows, and were dreadfully hurt; another lodger,
while in the arms of her husband, on the ladder, fainted,
and fell from his grasp on a watchman's box with coos.
par4ively little injury. A young child was thrown from
a second-floor window, and caught in the arms of a pa.
sun in the street, without receiving any harm. The for-
biture on the ground and first floor is destroyed, and the
whole house is much damaged ; and the preservation of
the adjoining houses is entirely owing to the activity of
the firemen. The fire is-supposed to have originated in
the back parlour, where, it is said, linen was left against
the chimney fire to dry after the family went to bed.
ALEXANDER FLlTSHEL—Wednesday, a Gentleman
appeared in the Police Court, Edinburgh, to answer to.
the charge of annoying Alexander Fletcher, on Tuesday
afternoon, whet he preached in the Caledonian Theatre.
It appeared that Fletcher, in the course of his harangue,
had exclaimed, very emphatically, " Why did the Jews
)eject the Gospel?" Upon hearing which exclamation,
" the defendant had been in the pit, and very naturally
called out," Why did you reject Miss Dick r—..an inter-
sogation,which, we believe, afforded much amusement to
the congregation, and broke the thread of Alexander's
eloquence. Alexander, however, did not think it proper
to appear in Court; and the Magistrate, entering com-
pletely into the Gentleman's feelings, ordained him to
find security, that he would not break the itinerant
preacher's head, when he returns to Edinburgh (as be has
kindly promised to do) in July 1827.—Edin. Obserer.
TURN OUT WI THE LANCASHIRE Poon.—On the
Cheetham-hill Road, the stone breakers have actually
turned out for higher wages! When the men were paid
on Saturday sennight, they all appeared quite satisfied.
except two, and these two are supposed to have excited
the dissatisfaction which on Monday produced the turn-
out. A considerable number have since been de,irous
to resume their work, but they have been forcibly pre-
vented from doing so by the malcontents, who in some
instances have used great actual violence. With respect
to the earnings of the stone breakers, they are certainly
some who have not got more than 3s. to ss. for their
week's work. The general run of the earning of those
who work ►teadily, however, is froct4-93. to 12s. Some
expert hands make more r one man last week got 225. 6d.
ACCIDENTS racist Star No Goos.—Monday se'nn;ght
an Inquest was held atßary, on the body of J. Hayward,
who was shot by a spring-gun, in the garden of Mrs.
Leheup. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased
had the previous evening acknowledged to two persons,
with whom he was drinking some beer, that he had
received orders to charge the gun with powder only, but
that he was in the habit of putting in "shot enough to
sting them"—and he described the quantity to be about
half his glass full. He left the company to set the
engine; and it is supposed he touched the wire as soon
as he had loaded it, w hen he received the whole charge
in the upper part of his chest, and was found by the
persons who were brought to the place by the report,
lying w ithin a foot of the gun, at the point of death.
11c expired in a very short time. The Jury returned a
verdict of " Accidental Death.,
