TROOPS IN PORTUGAL.

lassos, May 9.—Whether it was necessary, for the peace of the
capital, that British troops should have been here in case of any
fatal termination to the Itegent's complaint, it may be difficult to
say; but the precaution was at least prudent, and must be success-
ful: To our own troops it must be agrevabk, as that have ex-
changed bad quarters for good—the dulness of a country village, foe
the variety and amusements of the capital. In Lisbon, all oor
troops yet atrived are well lodged, and more of them might be
equally well seommoslated. Without invading nunneries, turning
out monks, or incommoding private families, there are regular mi-
litary quarters in this city sufficient to lodge a force capable of over- I
awing the largest and most turbulent capital of Europe. A line of
barracks extends front the river at Belem on the one side, aL round
the outskirts or suburbs ot the town to the river on the ~ern
barrier. In this range we have, Ist. The quartet or barracks of the
Campo d'Ourique, occupied by one battalion of the Guards ;
The quartel do Val de Pereira, by the other ; 3d. The'quartel da
Cruz do Tabado ; 4th. The quartet da Cruz de quatro Cominhns;
anti 3th. The quartet da Cavelberia do Cars, near the river, besides
the quartet da Cotavia and the Castle in the interior. These mili-
tary quarters are in general very neatly built, clean, and contuto-
thous. They consist of a long quadrangle, with a file of low houses
for the soldiers on the long aides, anti higher apartments fur the
officers at the ends. The area ot the quadrangle affords good ground
fur eta cise or parade. The situation is always high and healthy,
removed from the crowded parts of the city, and the huts for the
soldiers are in gond repair.

Sunday last, the aunt of Mr. Holmes, broker, in the
London-road, was robbed in St. George's Church. In
the course of the service she was elbowed by a person
in the same pew, and her bonnet disfigured ; while
lifting up her hands to put it in form, the thief drew a
wild watch from the front of bee dress. • - • •
Some few days ago, a considerable portion of the in-
terior of the ancient Castle of Prevensey, in Sussex, gave
way and fell with a crash that greatly alarmed those
that heard it, and especially an old man, named Doush,
who not very many minutes before the circumstance
occurred, was walking beneath the arch which formed
a part of the ruins, estimated at some huidreds o.
cart loads.
