This forenoon we received Lisbon Gazettes from the
3d to the 9th of April. They contain an account of
the audience oar Ambassador, Sir WILLI A V' A'Counr,
had of the Palawan Rums; by which it will be seen

that our fleet in the Tagds will tentain there. The
following are eitracts

LISBON, Aw 4.

The Baron de Retidute having represented to the Prineas
Regent his Inability longer to discharge the duties of the very la-
borious and important office of Intendant-General of the Police;
and requesting permission to resign it, her Royal Highness has
granted his petition and exonetated his{ frdn► that office, but he is
to continue to hold his office at the Board of Finance. Her Royal
Highness has appointed Mama Jose de Arriage Bruns da
Judge in the Criminal Court, to the office of Inteddain of the
Arr.n. 6.—On the 4th of this month, her Highness the Infants
Donna Isabella Maria, gave an audience to Sir William A'Court,
Ambassador from his Britannic Majesty, who complimented her
Royal Highness in the name of his Government, and offered to
the Government of these Kingdoms the assurance of all the tf/ppert
and of the same friendship which his Majesty the King of Great
Britain preserved to his old faithful ally, his late Majesty Den Johii
VI. of which a proof is afforded by the stay of the British squadron;
anchored in the Tagus, which is destined to afford to this Govern-
ment the same service that it afforded to his Majesty.

We have. received German Papers CO the 16th inst.
They contain no intelligence from Greece, and are pt
cipally filled with an account of the enthusiasm with
which the Emperor of AUSTRIA was receive] on his
appearing in public on the 9th inst. His MAJEsTY,
who had taken an airing at noon with the EMPRESS
and the Impel ial Family, drove out again in the eveniug
to see the illuminations. The people, as in the morning,
accompanied his MAJESTY'S carriage with cries of joy.
The Palaces of the English, French, End Russian Am-
bassadors were particularly distinguished by their splen-
did illumination.

A good deal of business was last night got through
in the House of Commons, but the proceedings were
not of a very important character. The presentation of
a Petiton from a Yorkshire Solicitor, by Mr. STltes,
gave rise to a new attack on the venerable Loau CHAN•
CELLOR, which was met with great spirit by the Sou.
CITOR-GENtRAL. The treatment.which Lord A
is in the habit of meeting with, from certain Members
in Parliament, is nothing less than a system of deliberate
and unfeeling persecution, from which his office, his
age, and his private worth, ought to protect him.

The Criminal Justice Bill passed through another stage; and Mr;
Secretary Pam. gave notice, that he would continue his valuable
labour in the consolidation and reforming of onr Laws. The House,
+t its rising, adjourned to Tuesday next.

Members in the present House of Commons, Candi,
dates for the nest Parliament, Electors, Returning Officers, and
Borough Agents, are all very anxious to know when Parliament
will be dissolved; this event will, however, depend much on the
dispatch with which business is got through in both Houses, for if a
debate is to be founded on everytrivial occurrence, the duration of
the Session will depend on the pertinacity of a few of its /Members.
The public business, unless interrupted la the way to which wt
have alluded, will, we believe, be got through by the middle, or
perhaps about the 20th of May, and should this be the ease, Par-
liameat will be Immediately dissolved, in order that the bustle of
a General Election may interfere as little as possible with the pur-
suits of agriculture. There are no questions of very great im-
portance before the House, but it is lot likely the Session will elan
earlier than we have mentioned, as Mr. Baononan has a motion
on the subject el Negro Slavery, which is filed for the 11th of May,
and which will probably be the last discussion of any import.mce is
the present Parliament.

Thnrsday evening, between seven and eight o'clock,
Mr. Dress, the King's Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office,
in Downing-street. with dispatches from the Duke of Wit.iptcrus
to Mr. Secretary CANNIIIO, dated up to the Lth instant.
Mr. McArts, the King's Messenger, who was sent off
a few evening since with dispatches to meet the Duke of Weir.tue.
vox, met with a serious accident on his journey. As he was entering
Frankfort, the horses in his carriage took fright, ran away, and
before the horses could be stopped, Mr. Misras had experienced
se much injury by the overturning of the carriage, that his right
shoulder was dislocated ; and he was in ether respects much bruised.
The dispatches were forwarded by a Courier.
Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial
Department, from Lieutenant-General Sir O. L. Cox; G.C.B.

Preparations on a magnicent scale are making for
the departure of Ids Grace the Doke of INVONIINIIII4 on Ms ThhliUli

service of plate, to the amount, it is said, of 15,000/. have been given.

Edinburgh, and after a number of wen-contested rounds, in which

plunged in into her antagonise* body. She is in custody.
Official statement of the number of Lunatics, distin-
guishing Males and Females, which have been returned to the Com-
missioners for licensing Madhouses, and entered into the Registers,
from 11115 to 1824, both inclusive :—Males, 4,46l—Females, 3,443.
There are said to be four candidates for the repre-
sentation of the County of Galway—Messrs. Runs and Mar,
the Sitting Members, and Mr. Si. Gnomic and Mr. lallatiCkt.
They all start on Catholic principles, because It would be quite ab-
surd to address such a County as Galway upon any other. Not only
are all the Freeholdere,but a moiety of the landed Gentry, Catholic.
SCOTS CHURCH IN Swm.Low-srairr.—The right of
presentation by the Presbytery of a Minister to this
Church, which has been so long and so powerfully con-
tested, both in public and in private, and which has
latterly formed the subject of an inquiry in the Court
of Chancery, was set at rest on Thursday, by t!'e ordi-
nation of the Rev. Dr. Wonaow into the pastoral office,
in a full assembly of the Presbysters, Elders, and Con-
gregation of Swallow-street Church. The ceremony
commenced at eleven o'clock in the morning, and every
seat in the church was filled long ►efore that time. so
intense was the interest excited in the parish. The Rev.
Mr. MILLAR, as junior Presbyster, commenced the ser-
vice by a prayer of thanksgiving, and then proceeded
to read a portion of Scripture suitable t• the occasion.
The Rev. Mr. Cacimils, as Examinant, then put the
customary questions to the new candidate, touching his
fitness for the sacred office on which he was about to
enter. The ansu ers were characteristic of good sense,
good feeling, and modesty, and appeared to gisc the
highest satisfaction to the whole congregation.
