PARIS, Auoutr 27.

" We have just received from our Correspondent at
Lisbon, the Proclamation posted up in that city by the
revolutionists, during the troubles that have recently
affected it. We venture to publish it for the instruction
of those men who, in despite of so much cruel experience,
of which they may have been witnesses, actors, or victims,
are still inclined to commence unfortunate experiments,
in the vain hope of freeing them from the horrors, which
invariably follow in their train. We also venture to
publish it in order to open the eyes of those good
men, wham the absence of actual and urgent dan-
ger renders indifferent to the public weal, unjust to.
wards a tutelary Government, and dupes of the in-
sidious caresses of these eternal enemies of legitimacy,
whose object, more or less remote, is to produce disorder
and anarchy. In a word, we venture to publish it, not-
withstanding the outrageous expressions, which this
monument of human delirium contains against persons,
whose feelings we are bound to respect, but who no
doubt think with us, that the menaces and imprecationg
of anarchists are the greatest encomiums public men can
receive. This insensate proclamation breathes the fury of
the languageof 1821—of that epoch when the revolution
hoped to raise a responsive voice in the South of Europe.
It is the same spirit of proselytism, it is the same hatred
against all Governments, even against those which it is
deemed necessary to flatter occasionally, it is the same
plan as that which was hatched six years ago; and we
rejoice to behold that, thanks to the wisdom of Govern-
ments, and to the experience of their subjects, that the re-
sult has been the same in both instances. The revolution-
ists, in their delirium, have revealed to us their secret.
Adieu the Charter ! Adieu Don Piano ! Long live
the Republic ! Long live the First Consul I—We have
now ample proofs of the sincerity of the Constitution-1

*lists of the 25th of July, as well as suffiti.rt Matter t.
provoke the serious toflectiotili of all Europe."

Here follows this Apostolical farrago, ycleped re-
►olutionary reclamation, but which tire have not left
oursel►es room to insert, as we had originally designed.,
It pretynds to call upon the Pottuguese to set up a re-
public in place of the present Go►ernment, and
to dissblve all connexion with England, as un-
worthy of being trusted. This last phrase discloses
the cloven foot of the author, as well as the workshop
from which it has emanated. We should despise so
bald a fraud—so wretched a forgery,—were it not for
the iniquitous design, which it betrays; but, if Eng-
land be true to herself, it will recoil upon its unprin-
cipled authors.

It is said that the insurrection in Catalonia is on the
increase, though we must receive the account with the
most marked caution, as the whole may have been got
up for the put pose of increasing the French army in
Spain, preparatory to an invasion of Portugal.
We received this morning the Jourxel de St. Peters.
lourg to the 11th inst. but it contains no political or
military intelligence whatever, or indeed any other, ex-
cept such as relates to the trade of Riga, Archangel,
mad Odessa. The number of vessels which had entered
the former port up to the 241 of Augu,t, was 1,077 ;
sena 907. The value of foreign goods imported into
Riga in the month of June, amounted to 1,666,1359
rubles; the value of the exports in the same month was
7,133,241 rubles. In one week of July 20 ships had
sailed from Odessa, mostly laden with wheat, the
staple produce of that part of Russia. They were
all bound for Constantinople; and, from the latter
port, 16 vessels were daily expected, as intelligence
had reached Odessa on the 28th ult. of their hav-
ing sailed out of the Channel. To judge from the
briskness of the trade between the two ports, little ap-
tprehensions were entertained by the most enlightened
and sensitive persons at both, that the Porte would incur
the risk of rejecting the terms proposed to it by the
Allies. A fact of this kind outweighs a thousand ru-
mours and as many loose speculations; and we can
state, from our own knowledge, that it is the opinion ofl
the most intelligent men in this country, who are en•
gaged in the Turkey trade, that there will be no war,
but that the Porte, when it sees the unavailing effect,
of its blustering and finesse, wiU make a merit of ne
cescity, as it has often done before.

We learn from the same source, that the commerce
of the port of Archangel continues to increase. In the
second week of July, thirtyeight foreign vessels, all in
ballast, had arrived, which made the number of arrivals
HS from the opening of the navigation to the 26th of
July. In the same period, 242 vessels had sailed. It is an
undeniable fact, that Russia is making rapid strides in
prosperity, and it is therefore superfluous to say, that her
Government is as liberal, as is perhaps consistent with
its despotic character. Were it not for this plague-spot,
her resources would develope themselves with incom•
parably greater rapidity, and, what is more, her rulers
would acquire additional security at home, as well as a
vast accession of influence abroad.

We also received this morning Hamburgh Papers to
the 24th, but the only article of any interest which they
contain, also relates to Russian commerce. According
to this article, the number of ships that had arrived in
all the sea posts of the Empire, from the opening of the
navigation to the Ist of this month, was 2957, of which
1882 were in ballast. The number of ships that had sail-
ed, within the same period, was 1971, of which only 26 in
ballast. The value of foreign goods imported and cleared
at the Custom House, amounted to 83,957,320 rubles,
and of Russian goods exported to 107,427,640 rubles.
During the same period, coin, gold and silver in bars
were imported to the value of 5,894,788 rubles, and
exported only 2,255,334 rubles. Among the principal
articles of Russian produce exported were,

Flax 10,461,411 Ponds
•
Iron . 487,143
Tallow 1,370,991
Potashes 1,88,383
Raw and Dressed Hides 10i,620
Com. value . • 17,951,188 Rubles
Timber diuo . 1,483,640 Ditto
At Riga the imports in the month of May were to
the value of 1,674,731 rubles ; the value of Russian
produce exported 14,801,729 rubles; the exports from
Archangel in the same month were for 1,110,321 rubles.
We likewise received this morning Frankfort Papers
to the 22d, but they also Mntain no political news. The
following is the only article worth extracting :
" FRANKFORT, Angus: 21.
_

" Two of our Journals announce almost in the same
terms that Counts Gottfried and Christian- Ernest of
Benzel Stenau, joined the community of the Evangelic
Protestant Church the day before yesterday in the house
of the Rev. M. Friederick, Clergyman, in this city,,
assisted by the Rev. M. Benkard, Counsellor of the
Consistory, and in the presence of three of the Elders
of the Church."

We have received a New York Paper of the lit of
August, which is quite void of information; it only,
states, that large quantities of corn are shipping to
England, in consequence of which, the prices were
getting up.

Mr. HUSLISSON, soon after his arrival yesterday.
proceeded to the residence of Viscount Gosiatcw, in Downing-
street, and had a conference with the Noble Viscount, which lasted
near three hours. Viscount Dummy and Wien, Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, and the Right Hon. &mums Banana, joined
the Noble Viscount and Mr: Museum* in the course of the after-
noon. A Messenger was dispatched to his kfamerr at the Royal
Lodge, by Viscount GODZIUCII, in the afternoon.

The Duke of CLaamiscr.—Gentlemen of the Corporation, Inc
turn you thanks fee the very kind and flattering reception you have
given me, and I can Hoare you that I feel the kindness sincerely.
When I rise, it is with mingled feelings of pleasure and of grief. h
is impossible for me not to recollect that it is no* more than half a
century since his late Majesty introduced me to the town of Wind-
sor—that excellent father, who resided so long amongst you, and
whose many virtues you must have known; • for you have witnessed
how he discharged those duties of a double nature, which were
impwsed upon him both u the Outher of a numerous family
and the Sovereign of a great and powerful people—(Hear,
bear). To you, Gentlemen, thou virtues were known, and
you still venerate his memory. Too lately has his reign closed
to expect that fair juatke should be done to his 'memory,
But in sU countries which, like England, are blessed with freedom
of opinion, truth must prevail, and the time is Dot far distant when
this country, and Europe generally, will do him that justice which
you, whose sphere of observation was more immediate, have already
given--(Cheers). By the peculiar charter of this ancient and loyal
borough I meet you in the double capacity of a freeman, and as year
High Steward. Proud as lam of the manner in which you lute
selected me to fill the latter station, rcannot but remember,
that without the approbation of my Sovereign, I could not be
in that situation, and I address log on this subject with great
pleasure. You have been many years witnesses of the continued
attachment and unreserved affection which his Majesty has base
towards me—l have ever experienced from my Sovereign the
I greatest marks of :Section and kindness; and I therefore fed
peculiarly that which I am confident all who are acquainted with
his many virtues must feel towards him—( Hear). It is now op.
wards of hail a century that the late and present King have bonound
tasks town wttb peculiar privileges; It therefore gives Due great sans.
faction to be connected with your borough. At the same time I
cannot forget whom I have succeeded. In justice to that individual,
who was dear tome by connexion, and to the country by his um.
unpled and long services at the bead of the army, I must therefore
feel a melancholy pride in filling a situation which he had held.—
Introduced to this Corporation by the late King, the more I ban
seen of its membes the more I estimate them ; and I assure yes,
Gentlemen, I feel a sincere satisfaction in being made your fellow
citizen--(Laud applause).

" The Queen of Wurtemberg"—" Out illustrious neighbor the
Princess Augusta." . Glee—" How merrily we live."
" The remaining Branches of the Royal Family." —" His Rod
Highness the Lord High Admiral and the Navy.
The Duke of erre:not again rose. He was Indebted alooe to
the kindness and graciousneu of his Majesty for being appointedto
preside over the navy of this kingdom. He always felt pride at
bearing his name associated with the navy. Whether he was to
serve them as High Steward, or the country at large, in the more
Important station he Idled, he Should ever continue ardently attached
to the Constitution of thisconntry, and nothing but death should ever
make him forget what he and his family owed to that free and
glorious Constitution—(Loud cheers).
" The Duke of Wellington and the Army."—Three times three,
and laud applause.
Lord MiIIYBODAUGH returned thanks as the representative of his
brother. When he looked around and saw the companions of his
earliest days, the honest, able, and enlightened instructors of his
youth, and the companions of his arms and his glory, he felt slut a
task be had to perform, when be took the opportunity of expressive
to him what he (Lord Maryborough) had witnessed that day;
" and I think he will feel it to be as great an honour as aoy henna
receive. It is impossible when I hear his name coupled with the
army again, net to remember the gracious manner is which his
Majesty has been lately pleased spontaneously to replace bin at
the head of that army—(Loud applause). That graciousness so
characteristic of the Sovereign of these realms, must base the
effect of making him serve hi. master with renewed zeal sod
energy. It is impossible for any one to approach that illustrious
personage without feeling that the graciousness of the King con'
peels the subject to serve with more fidelity. I beg to be elated,
Gentlemen, if I have spoken warmly cm thissubjea, and thee:cost
I o'er Is, that I feel still mare warmly than I could speak."
The Duke of CIALKIICI proposed the health of the Mayor (Mr.
Voiles). To the army and navy we were to look in the hour of
danger and trouble ; but this was, thank Goo, a time of peace and
repose;--and this brought to his mind that admirable Constitutioo
which had enabled them to struggle so long and so successful,
against all enemies. That Constitution be trusted Englishou
would ever maintain. They were here assembled for a civic
poet. It had been wisely settled by the Government of the coo•
try, that in any Cerßoration the Mayor represents the State; and be
thought he but discharged the duty be owed to the constituted so-
charities when he proposed the health of" The Mayor of Windsor."
The Maros returned thanks.

Members of the Barone).

thanks.

young sportsmen, middle-aged sportsmen, old sportsmen, and re-
tired sportsmen ; and as the best mode of displaying kis gratitude
to them for their kindness, he would palmist them, that through
the kindness of his Majesty, he would give them this season as red
a pack of hounds as they ever rode after; and although he (I.otd.
Maryborough) was new old, he would do his best to keep uP untle

able persons greeted him with continued cheers.
