India as to the Bormese_empire. It now appears, how-
ever, that the county y is in a miserable state, and its Go-
vernment in complete disorganization. kis estimated
that when the war commenced, the Burmese army con-
sisted of not less than 100,000 men, and that after the
battle of Pegham, it was doubted whether 10,000 could
be collected together in the country. The remains of
this force appear to have dispersed, and formed them-
saves into bands of robbers and marauders; as, since
the peace was made, the people of Per had been most
severely harassed by them, in violation of the treaty,
which declared their sovereign, the King of Ave, inde-
pendent of the Burmese empire. The country of the
Peguese is the most healthy and fertile of any is that
part of India, and therefore has always been a jealous
object of prey to their ferocious lawless neighbours. It
will be the business of our shipi of war to see to the
quiet cession of the provinces of Martaban, Mergui,
Tavoy, and Yea, which territories are in future to be a
part of the kingdom of Ava. The dispatches brought
home in the Arachne were in charge of Lieutenant
Smith, R.N. who was absent from his ship, with a party
of seamen, fourteen months, living principally during
that time in open boats, and exposed to the deleterious
miasma of the prolific vegetable matter of the low
swampy maysher which almost cover the country.—

MONDAY, OCTOBER V., 1826.
STOCK RXCHANGR, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Comb, which left off on Saturday at 801, opened this morning
at 903 buyers ; since which, they have turned sellers at the above
price, and for Money 80 to 3. Little or no business is doing, which
is attributed to most of the liebtews being absent from the market,
it being a great holiday with them.
In the Foreign market there is also little doing, but Old Spanish
improves, in consequence of the account of Badajos belhg taken
by the Revolutionists.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols have remained steady the whole of the morning, with a
fluctuation of about g per Cent. Consols which were in the earlier
part of the day at 801, have since receded to SO for the Account,
and 79a for Money. The only operation of note, was the sale of
about aft thousand at SO. At present there is scarcely anything
dulog, and the market appears rather heavy.
In the Foreign market there is scarcely a feature to observe, ex-
cept ir. Spanish Bonds, which seem to improve, owing to the pre-1
sent unsettled state of Spain.

A mail from Lisbon brings Papers from that capital
to the date of the 22d September, from which we quote
the following :
LISBON, &mama 22.—OFFICIAL.
" Considering that ill-disposed persons have latterly
endeavoured to disturb the tranquillity of that capital,
and grossly to deceive the ignorant and unthinking by
the false, Seditious, and inflammatory accounts, which
they spread abroad, by means of blind persons and boys,
who go about the streets selling periodicals, and printed
papers, whom they cause to cry what is most suitable to
their wicked intentions, and to announce false and
alarming news, which is not to be found in the printed
papers which they sell, carrying their boldness to the
criminal excess of spreading in this manner the most
atrocious calumnies, against persons of the highest rank,
to whom they attribute acts and documents, contrary to
the fidelity which we all owe to our legitimate King,
my august brother, Don Pedro IV. and still mote con-
trary to the pure sentiment of honour and probity,
which always animated all the august Members of
the Royal Family of Portugal, to put a stop at once to
such serious evils, and to prevent the responsibility of
the editors, authors, printers, and venders of such'
printed papers from being in this manner evaded, I
provisionally order in the King's name as follows :
" 1. Na person shall cry newspapers. periodicals, or
any other printed papers, of any kind whatsoever, in
the squares, streets, and any other public places, with-
out a licence given in Lisbon by the Intendant General
of the Police, and in the rest of the kingdom by his
delegates.
" '2. Such licences shall be given only to persons of
known prr.bity, possessing personal property or some
commei c tal or manufacturing e.tahlishment of their own.
" 3. Tht,se who shall he found cry nig printed papers,
&c. in the streets. &c. without the licence mentioned is
Au. 1. shall be arrested, tried and punished as (dis-
til:hell of the public tranquillity._
