vothit will waltz 'th ' or heels sustain them,
S ,inelig trial still ey give at the assembly.—
'rife dis c ton arises from the modesty so peculiarly

their sown.
The absence of suer is a terrible drawback to the
pleasure of these assemblies. How can an Englishman'i
constitution be supported on orgeat or lemonade aftEi
eight hours' dancing—not to speak of the fatigue of.
making love? One of my friends finding his energies
breaking down under these diluted liquors, took it into
his head that nothing but brandy and water could re-
store them. He found out the sanctuary where the li-
q•ior damsel did ensconce herself, and he worked to far
upon her good nature, that she unlocked her store of
real cognac, to which he not only made application
himself, but introduced every Englishman, civil, mili-
tary, naval, and marine, in the course of the even-
ing. Never did a Lisbon Saint perform a greater
miracle. He talked, and they talked, their partners
caught the infection from them. The British men
of war were blest beyond compare, and Lisbon Ladies
led off the Boulanger.-in honour of the occasion. How
their eyes did sparkle—how their cheeks did burs—
how their hearts did beat—how the pat of their little
feet quickened as the blood grew warm. To the last
hour I cannot forget the look of astonishment which
the liquor-maid gave my friend, as he demanded ano-
ther goblet full at three in the morning. Uutra yes !
(what, another !) said she. Yes, my dear, one more,
replied the monster. Ho, wren Deos! (Oh, my Goer)
she exclaimed, as with one hand she drew the cork,
and with the other poured in a limited quantity of
the purest.
Tomd ry night concluded the Carnival, the Lent com-
mencing on the following morning of Ash Wednesday.
We are under a great mistake in fancying that there is any thing
like a strict observance of fasting or abstinence on the Continent, I
ant certain from the experience of this country and France, that the
Catholiciof Ireland and England are the only persons of that reli-
gion who conform to it conscientiously. I see here friars eating
meat on the Friday and Saturday, at the taverns; and u to the
observance of either on the part of the laity (the gentry whom I
meet), I can say in truth, they never think of refusing the roast
and the boiled. •

" Who would be a soldier."
I was present at the departure of onr troops front Lisbon fo
the Interior.
At break of day the guards left their barrack at Belem, on the
road to Villa Franca. The sun shone deceitfully at starting, but
before they were four miles away, down came the rain, and our
poor fellows were as drenched as water rats. The fatigue of
marching in this country is bad enough on roads of peat coarse
pavement, in some places broken up in pit falls, in others ground
into clay; here broad enough for a score of waggons, then oar.
rowed to the space of a tax-cart, in fine weather, bat when the
rains sec in It must be the deuce itself. A soldier has his musket,
knapsack, great 'oat, wine-can, and provision wallet with rations
for three days, to carry. See him toiling along, in a miry road,
with a bad chance of good quarters before him at night, and must
not one pity the poor fellow leaving family and home and a cob-
bler's stall, or any honest employment, where he was his own
master, and walks only when the fit is on him, or down to a fight,
or for a wager. His wife is still more to he pitied. lam told the
few that are allowed to follow the army will have to march on foot
the entire road, unless the husband can afford to hire a bores or
mule. Indeed, I saw them with bemired stockings and ends of
petticoats, draggling along in the rain, without even eke chance of
an occasional lift on a baggage waggon.
The baggage is principally carded on Nuke backs. Sonselutavy
chests are loaded on bullock carts, but that operation is so slow and
inefficient, and the roads are in places almost impassable to them,
that even this clumsy conveyance is dispensed with. The mules
are certain ; they will walk you down a quarry, or trot you over a
mountain—give them their own way, and they seem to understand
the business much better than you do. Each mule carries a pan!or,
like cross trees, on which the baggage is placed, nut exceeding
3(.`0. lbs. weight, a tarpaulin is thrown over to keep off the rain, and
the whole made secure with rude leathern straps, whisk go under
the mule's belly, and over the tarpaulin. Following the army, you
see some hundreds of them, one man guiding three, and a chief of
brigade, as he is called, having the command of five and thirty.
The infantry officers have the privilege of riding on horseback on
the march, if they can afford to purchase mules and horses, which
the sons of wealthy farmers, who now fill the army, have of course
no difficulty in doing, Some of these cattle are about as big as
full-grown cats; a tall Lieutenant looks most engaging with pistol-
holsters before the saddle, a small valise, and his great coat strapped
upon it behind, with ham sacks for his rations dangling at each
side. The Officer has a protection from weather in his large
military cloak, which covers man, mule, and materiel. But, not-
withstanding this portable fear not, I fancy some of our Noble
subalterns are already tired of campaigning. •
A few wild young men, preparatory to their marching, threw
the part of Lisbon. near the Cerpo Santo, and the Black Horse-
square. into the utmost alarm a few nights since, by a frolic which
would be excellent fun in England, but which here was inexcusable.
I suppose they had beets dining together in the city, and were re-
turning in a troop of twenty mounted, to their quarters at Behan.
One of them played the Commander.in•Chief, and gave orders to
the others, as if the people were up against the Constitution, and
that they were sent out to quell them. Only fancy, at two o'clock
is the morning, when no person is ever found in the streets, or
other noises beard than the howling of dogs, the word charge given
to a supposed squadron of British Dragoons, and their rush, and
cries and clattering of the horses' hoofs, and imagine what the terror
of people must be suddenly awakened from their sleep. In the

house where I live, the whole family made their way to my room,

to inquire the cause, in a state of the greatest horror." The people
are up"—" The English are cutting them"—" We shall be mur-
dered in our beds"—was the general cry. It was some time before
I could ascertain what our boys were doing, and long before I
could explain it satisfactorily to my friends. In the square of the
Cues Sodra, the wild devils again mustered. " Tell off by threes
on the right." called out the Captain, 0 Brown, Jones. and Robin-
son;' " Tell off by threes from the left, Brown, Jones, and Robin-
son ;—by threes from the centre in advance, Brown, Jones, and
Robinson." Deuce take your nomenclature, thought I. " Charge,
and no quarter." Murder !" cried Captain Molowney ; " spare
the degs." They then tore down the street and back again—held
a mock Court Martial on some imaginary prisoners—sentenced one
to an immediate number of lashes, another to instant execution,
and played all sarts of mad-cap gambols. I saw an old woman
between me and the moon, as the poet says, with a white household
unutterable implement. She had not t►e heart to let it drop on the
Captain Commandant's crupper, but the opening of the easement
was signal enough for our young campaigners to make off, and so
with another charge they drove the devil before them towards Belem.

The Paris Papers,' which arrived last night, contain
a long account from the Turkish capital of the first
solemn audience, granted to the Marquis de Russatr-
Plana; the Russian Ambassador, by the GRAND'
VIZIER. This ceremony, which was marked by the
usual pomp, had been protracted so long, as to give an
air of studied insult to the delay, and it was easy to see
that the Ambassador, or rather the Sovereign whom he
represents, was not in good odour with the Porte. It
is true, M. de RIBBAUPIEREZ waslatroduced to the
Reis EFFENDI soon after his arrival, but as this was no
public or formal presentation, it weighs as nothing
against our previous remark. In the meantime, the
former has to go through another Court Ordeal,
by far the more important of the two, before he can
be said to be recognised in his diplomatic character
ewe mean his audience of the Sumas; and the
'interval that may intervene between the two pageants
may be regarded as an exact criterion of the degree of
cordiality that subsists between the two Powers. It is
possible that the Porte pleads the feast of the Beiram,
during which, regular business of every kind is usually
suspended, as an excuse for the delay ; but, be the
cause what it may, the ceremony itself, tardy as it has
been, is so far interesting, as it is the first indica-
tion of a conceding spirit on the part of that haughty
and stubborn Power. It probably saw the necessity
at last of endeavouring to conciliate Russia, and
separate, if possible, her policy from that of Eng-
land, but with what success, has been shewn by
the important document we inserted yesterday..—
The more we have considered that document, the MOM
we admire its provisions, which include every thing
that strict justice; sound policy, and an enlightened
humanity called for. The justice of the claim of the
Greeks to separate their interests from those of a Power,
which to its proverbial cruelty and contumely in its
treatment of that people, now adds a feeling of fell
revenge, and a sentiment, still more sanguinary in its
effects, that of fear—will be only disputed by such, as
I are incapable to distinguish between right and wrong.
To respect the principle of Turkish SJvereignty in this
instance, would be to respect the right of extermination,
which would immediately follow. Tne political wisdom
of the measure is as manifest as its justice, as neither of
the belligerents would improve his situation, were
he suffered to prolong the contest ; whilst the peace
of other nations would be seriously endangered by its,
continuance. Besides, the commercial relations of those
nations havealready suffered great injury, and are threat-
ened with much greater; and as neither the Turks nor
the Greeks can arrest this serious evil, the parties that I
are injured, have a clear right to interpose in their own
defence. Be this as it may, the publication of the treaty
will be hailed from one end of the civilized world to the
other with acclamations; and as the Greeks have already,
by their late President, in his speech, on laying down
his authority, signified their willingness to accept such
terms as the three Powers shall propose, it may be
said, without any exaggeration, that one-half of the
difficulty in the way of a favourable issue is thus
removed. This opinion is not invalidated by the war-
like accounts that have been received this morning from
the Turkish frontiers, and which state that the Pachas
of Widdin, Rudschuck, Silistria, and Belgrade, had
received the most positive and peremptory orders to
hasten the new armaments. The new levies are to be

completed by the mid.ile of July, when they are to be

the most discordant manner. Instead of being pulled
