LISBON, MARCH 20.

On the Mb, the Infanta be *lsabella Maria, with the
two Infantas, her sisters, went from the Palace of Bern
posta to the Palace of Caneluz, to vis.t the Queen ; their
august mother, who was confined to her room by indis-
position. After this afflicting interview, their Royal
Highnesses proceeded to the Palace of Adjuda, where
they fired their abode, and on Saturday received the
condolence of the Cowl, the Foreign Ministers, and an
immense number of persons. As soon as the health of
her Majesty will permit, we shall have the satisfaction
of seeing all the members of the Royal Family, whom
we are so happy as to have among us, united in that
Palace and the Palace adjoining.

The French Papers of Wednesday have reached us.

They contain intelligence from St. Petersburgh, which
' states that all was tranquil in that capital, though the
horizon was not quite free horn clouds. The inquiry into
the affair of the 26th Decemb?r was nearly terminated•
Thirteen principal leaders are said to have been dis-
covered and convicted of projects against the EMPEROR'S
life, and 240 of revolutionary and anarchical plans.
•r How many noble and ancient families," says an article
from Warsaw. " who have filled for ages the highest
offices in the state, will cover their escutcheons with
crape, when they see some of their members implicated
in such crminal plots. A Count MICHEL Ontoer, a
man of distinguished understanding and abilities, a
VOLSKONSKY, a BESTUOREFF ! The whole nation waits
with anxiety the decision of the EMPEROR, who will
probably embrace the affecting occasion of the funeral
of his Predecessor, to publish a great act of clerneqcy."
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Stocksbave fluctuated much to-day, except Con-
sols, which were the previous hour at 79} f, and have
•. since been done at 791 for the account with little business
doing. The market seems at present in an unsettled
state, but in ;he foreign market a great deal has been
done, pirtiCularly in Colombian and Mexican Stocks,
which have experienced within ibis half hour a consi-
derable fluctuation, Colombian which were in the early
part of the morning at 491 to went down to 45i, but
have risen Ngain to 47x; Mexican was done at 64 1
went down to 63i, since which it has been done at
64 to
The above very great fluctuation is attributed to the
Colombian Government wanting a loan of two mil-
lions sterling.

THY GARDNER PEERAGE.—Yesterday the question of
the Gardner Peerage, which has been so long before the Public, was
decided in the Committee of the House of Lords. The Arroaear
GA, . after entering into an analysis of the evidence adduced on
bott sides, concluded with giving his opinion in favour of Mr. GA as
the son of Capt. GAansaa.—The Loan CHApcsu.os and Lord
Girroan very briefly delivered their opinions, to the same effect,tbus
setting aside the counter claim of Mr. Gatineau, alias Mr. JAMES.—
The question being put to the Committee, they affirmed this deci-
sion. The report is yet to be made to the House.
Lord AUCKLAND'S claim to vote for Peers for Ireland

tranquillity, as the Quarts's party was daily diminishing,
and the English in the Tagus intimidated the factious.
The accountsfrorn the Cape of Good Hope are to the
19th of January ; they are of some importance. Two
weekly newspapers have been suppressed by the orders
of his Excellency the Governor. Mr. Gann has been

The Journal de St. Petereburgh of the 20th tilt. con-
tains, at great length, the account of the:removal of the
body of the late EMPEROR from Tscheme to the Cathe-
dral of Casan, at St. Petersburgh, on the 18th of March.
The procession was divided into 13 sections, in the last
of which was the hearse, drawn by eight horses, followed
'by his Majesty the EMPEROR, and accompanied by the
Grand Duke MICHAEL, the Prince of ORANGF, and

performed twice a day, and prayers read day and night.

We believe we may state with some confidence, that
Mr. 6reAreono CANNING has been instructed to make
such an urgent and forcible remonstrance to the Turkish
Government on the nature of the tedious and barbarous
Warfare which it is waging against Greece, as is likely
to induce the ranee to consent, if not at once to the
recognition of Gtecian independence, yet to a suspen-
sion iit military operations, preparatory to a negociation
on that important question. It is expected that intel-
ligerce of an arm stice will speedily reach England--

MASQUERADE AT THE KING'S THEATRE

The King's Theatre was last night thrown open to this interesting
species of whimsical entertainment. It was the third or fourth of
the season, and was it:titled to a preference over those which pre-
ceded it, by the superior taste,and elegance with which the several
compartments of this noble edifice were distributed. The interior
of the Theatre was converted into a spacious saloon ; it was
brilliantly illuminated. The Concert-room. and other rooms of the.
Theatre, were appropriately decorated. and were furnished with
bands of music, which quadrille parties, and reel parties, and waltz-
ing parties, throughout the night kept in constant requisitirn. That
there is a growing taste for this species of entertainment in this
metropolis is manifest—not qnly front the increase of numbers
which attended the masquerade last evening, but also on account
of the increased variety of character, and the ability with which
it was Lustained. Some parts were admirably personlfied--the
ladies tilting the lead as well in ability as in beauty. Miss
Pauline pry was very pretty, and very clever in her inqui-
sitiveness about the company's secrets; and as she was told
them upon the condition of not communicating them to any
body, of course she told them to every body. Juliet, by a Lady of
great personal beauty, was well supported ; but owing to bee having
many admirers, she was somewhat wanting in the constancy of the
character. A Deskinona was also deficient in the devotedness of
the part. Another Interesting character was a beautiful Slave. with
many slaves in her train. Paul Pry, Sans Swipes, and Mall Flaggon
were amongst the parts best stistained by Gentlemen. No new
character excited much atten4oa, With the ?reception of one Gen-
tleman, who personated Mr. Caoss of Kzeter.4Citinge, deploring
