This forenoon we received Lisbon Gazettes to the
29th March. They do not throw any new light on the
late treaty between Brazil and Portugal, but on the
contrary, reader it less intelligible. It is known, that in
consequence of that treaty, the KING of PORTUGAL
took the title of EMPILROR of BRAZIL, although he had
ceded it to his sort. It appears now by an Ordinance of
the Regency, that the title of Emperor is to be dropped
in Portugal,,,44 that of King restored; without coo-
t:main with it the dignity of EMPEROR of BRAZIL, of
which no mention whatever is made.. It would thus
appear that Dos PIIDIIIO if to wear the two crowns
under dint= titles. The.following is an extract x

By the arrival of a Buenos Ayres Mail, we have re.
ceived papers to the 28th of January. They contain
an account •f military and naval operations, which
though on a small scale, are said to be favourable to
the Buenos Ayreans, Santa Theresa and the Fort of
San Miguel had been taken by Colonel OLIVERA, who
was soon to be joined by the Army of Operation, which
had entered the Province Oriental. On the 21st of
January, a Brazilian gun-boat was taken off Buenas
Ayres. General MILLER had arrived at Buenos Ayres
with a passport for London.
The Congress continued to discus the Plan piesented
by the Government for the establishment of a National

Bank. A project had Wuo been laid before the Con-
gress far incorporating the Discount Bank with the
Nptional Bank. It was referred to the Committee of
Fenan.ce ald the agents appointed by the General Board
of the Discount Bank, having expressed their readiness
to join in the plans of the Government, the Congress

lead decreed the pre posed incorporation—each share of
1000 dollars in the Discount Bank to be convertible
into 6 shares of 200 dollars in the National Bank. The

The report of Colonel Oliver' states; that he had taken the ene-
my by surprise, who ran out of the houses in their shirts, and
escaped into the mountains, where they could not be pursued :
about twenty were killed or wounded and seventy or eighty made
prisoners. A oonsisietable quantity of arms and ammunition was
taken and many horses. Tbis affair took place in the morning of
st December.

Colonel Brown having taken the command of the squadron,
sailed so the 13th to reconnoitre the enemy, and offered them battle,
but the enemy, notwithstanding his superiority, was not to be in-

duced to fight, and retreated.
JANUAKT 7.--The sailing of our squadron and the cowardice of
the enemy produced an extraordinary enthusiasm on the multitudes
that crowded the banks of the river. Many offered to enlist as
volunteers; some persons manned and armed eight or ten boats,
and followed the squadron. Our principal merchants made a sub-
scription of 12,000 piastres to purchase the American schaoner
Grace Ann, but could not agree with the proprietor, who asked an
=mtant price. The Government has purchased the Upton and
Mohawk brigs, and the Grace A ttn schooner, and has exchanged their
names to the following: Republica A rgenttna,Congresso Constit uente,
jind Sarandi. The following officers were appointed to command

Harnburgh Papers to the Bth inst. reached us this
forenoon; they contain no intelligence horn Greece or
St. Petersburgh, or indeed any political intelligence
of rote rest.

His Serene Highness the brother of the reigning Duke of BRUNS-
wicz, who has now taken possession of the principality of Oels, in
Silesia, as his patrimony, has rejected ether offers made to him,
and entered the Prussian Service as Captain in the Cavalry Regi-
ment of Lanndwehr of the guards, in garrison at Berlin. The
young Prince has an annual income of about 100,000 dollars.

We yesterday noticed the renewal of hostilities be-
tween our army and the Burmese, intelligence of which
was brought by the Hannah, from Bombay ; and we
have in another column given some extracts from the
India Papers relating to the subject, together with an.
extract from a private letter from St. Helena, dated
February 26, which alleges that the attack by the Bur-
mese on the position of Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL had
actually been made, and that a most severe engagement
bad followed, during three successive days, in which
we sustained an alarming loss: eleven Officers of his
MAJZSTY'S army have been killed or wounded, besides
those in the service of the India Company. The letter
adds, that although the Burmese retired from the field,
our troops were unable to advance.
This letter is by no means entitled to implicit credit;
and although the re-commencement of hostilities shows
either great confidence or indiscretion in the barbarian
Chief, yet we know that Sir ARCHIBALD CAMTBILL
had not considered such an event as improbable, and
had prepared for it. That the war will thus be pro;
tracted, and mach bloodshed ensue, seem certain; bat
we have no doubt of she ultimate triumph of our arms.
The circumstances which led to. the rupture of the
armistice are so differently ltated in the Indian Paperi;.
that it is difficult to infer' the real disposition of the
KING of Ava. 4
-
Lord Comszastitee,'on bis arrival in India, lost nif
time in proceeding to Bhurtpore, where rebellion had
raised its bead. Oa the 10th.of December, the British
head-quarters were established under the walls of this
place, and the positron of Lord LAKE, so celebrated in
the history of our power in India, again taken up by the
division under Major-General Theot.r.s. Our troops
had succeeded in getting possession of the sluice which
lets in the water of the Gheel to the wet ditch of the
fort—a success regarded as of considerable importance
in expediting operations. The stopping np the Bund,
which had been ineffectually cut by the Bhurtporeans,
had been intrusted'to Captain hying of the Engineers,
who accomplished it without any lois upon our part.
The energy and activity displayed by the Commander-
in-Chief in reaching and taking into the field the be-
sieging army, is beyond praise.
On the 11th a grand reconnoissance of Bhurtpore
took place. Lord COMSBRYIBB, accompanied by Gen.

Meow, went entirely round the fort. There was
much cannonading, six or eight men were killed and
wounded, which is little, considering that they were
frequently within three hundred yards of the fort: :rho
timely stopping up the sluice, cut' too late by the Bhurt-
poreans, had the best iffect, leaving only four or .five
feet water in the ditch, and thus depriving the fort of
it :chief defence.
On the igth inst. the battering train belan to arrive, and it was
expected that on the following day the points of attack would be
determined on. It is probable, therefore, that the next arrivals
from India may king decisive intelligence of the operations of our
army in two distant parts of that 'Sit Empire.

The French Papers last received state that two large
frigates of 60 guns each (26 pounders), are building
at Marseilles for the PACHA of hoYer, besides a cor
vette with 26 carronades (24 pounders); two corvettes
of 22 guns (24 pounder 4; two brigs of -16 guns (18
pounders).
The house of RIVAL, Dalun, amitosis,. had con.'
tracted for the building of 'the •friicates, ,and the Go-
vernment permitted it to. Mite thst timber required from

French Juornalist) is the strict neutrality observed! No
permission could be obtained to build a .411ip at. Mar-

A letter from Arica, in Peru, dated the 20th Sept.
gives the following gloomy account of Mining Spe-

BRIGHTON, Amt. 10.
The weather with us is favii-urable and mild for the season, and
the town, on the whole, not much the reverse of gay—but the de-
partures last week by far outstripped the number of arrivals.

Sir IL FAULBNIR was placed In a very alarming situation about
ire' o'clock in the afternoon of yesterday. The young Baronet was
returning from an airing along the cliff, in his gig, with his groom,
who had the management of the reins. A fine high-spirited horse,
which had been but recently crocked, was in the shafts. On en-
tering upon the gradual descedt of the road by the Gun Inn, the
splash-board pressed against the 'animal's tail, not yet recovered
from the searing, ,when he plunged, became unmanageable, and
started off at a fearful rate. As the only possible resource for safety,
Sir It, and his servant threw themselves out of the carriage, and
though both were cut and bruised about the head and face, niither
were materially hurt. The horse, after dashing against the White
Horse Inn, turned the angle of it, down the dangerous thorough-
fare, called Peol-lane, crossing the hollow and rise to the Marine
parade, frequently turning the gig over. The gig was nearly de-
stroyed ; but the horse, which narrowly avoided going over the
cliff, was at length stopped, without being much injured.

THE ROYALTY THEATRE BURNT DOWN.
About half-past oneOMIC this morning, this im-
nitose pile of building was discovered to have taken
fire. The first alarm was given by the firemen on the
beat, and from what was then seen, it appeared to
Save commenced at the back of the stage. By half.
past one, the whole building presented one continued
body of ffanlfr. By a qaarter to two o'clock the en-
gines from the different fire offices were in motion, but
from the variance of the wind many were led astray,
some crossing the water and.others going to the non's.
ward. By two o'clock, there were at least twenty
engines ready to go to work, but not more than eight
or ten could be kept going, and those of course with
little effect. About a quieter past two, several of the
adjacent houses caught tire on the top, from the flakes
Of burning embers, but by the great exertions of
the firemen, they were preserved from destruction.—
Not five pounds worth of property was saved from
the Theatre, and though no lives were lost, several
persons were injured in trying to save the property.—
At one o'clock all appeared safe to the watchman of
the house, and so rapidly did it proceed that those in
the house narrowly escaped, With respect to the cause
of the calamity, all. that could be.leatned was, that some
Of the wadding from the fire-works used in the new
piece, in which Mount Etna is represented, must have
'lodged in the canvas, and which being ignited, set the
whole artbric in a blaze. By tbieeoicToCk the whole of
'the interior. of the building was completely burned to
ashes; but the engines continued th rowing water on them.
• ANOTHIIit ACCOUNT.'
This morning, at a quarter-past one o'clock, the inhabitants of
the East-end of the town were alarmed by a dreadful Are breaking
out in the interior of the Royalty Theatre, Well-street, Wen-
ding-square, Goodtean's-fiekis. The sightnrm awfully grand, and
the names were seen a distance of twenty miles around the metro-
polis. A number of engines soon arrived on the' spot, ant evkry
exertion was made by the firemen to stop the Airy of the raging
element, but without effect ; and the firemen seeing this, directed
their attention fo the surrounding ,houses, which they fortunately
succeeded in saving, except three small houses in the rear of the
Theatre. At three o'clokk the whole of the roof fell in, with A
tremendous crash, leaving nothing but the bare walls :rending.
At half-past nine the watt at the test end film. A watchman of the
tame of Webb, living in Chamber's-street, was tun over by one of
he county engines, and so badly injured that his life is despaired of.
He was:conveyed to the, London Hospital.

From thg Inflammabliniaterials in the interior,the fire soon com-
municated to the other parts ails. theatre, and in a short time that
immense structure was in one body of amne, illuminatiug the ad-
jacent streets, and those at some distance, so as to reader it
almost as light as day. Tlnt engines from the several fire-oMce
stations soon strived, and there was a plentiful supply of
water, but such was the fury of the devouring element, that in
the space of two hours and a half there was nothing left of
this fine Theatre, but the bare walls. We are happy to say, that
by the direction of the wind, the fire was kept from communicating
with the valuable premises of Messrs. Croucher and Bishop, sow-
bakers, in Hock-street, in the back of the Theatre, neither was the
house of Mr. Stevens, nail-maker„ 6, Wells-street, injured. The
quadrangular walls are of great substance, and still standing, but
from the burning of the wood work underneath, they are partially
undermined, and the fire Men are apprehensive of the front wall in
Wells-street soon giving way.
We understand the premises are partly insured, but of tine valu-
able property of the 'Theatre we have not been able to learn whether
that is insured or not.
A new Melodrame was produced last night, entitled reissiot the
Accursed ; and among other scenery it was stated in the bills there
would be a view of Mount Etna ; and that ",in this scene an en-
tirely novel effect would be displayed, representing one of those
awful convulsions of nature, the eruption of a volcano—the awful
effects of an earthquake, with the destruction of the vintage."—
It is said that some sparks from the volcano cornenunkated toe part
of thelocenery, and thus set the Theatre.on fire. .
The Royalty presented many amusing scenes during
the war, of real, as well. as of mimic life, on account of
the company by which it was frequented being princi-
pally sailors, whose eccentricity could not be restrained
by the decorum of a theatre. .This theatre was built
in 1787, with a view of performing the regular drama,
which it was supposed the magistrates of the Tower
Hamlets could authorize. Mr.'John Palmer and Mr.
Quick resqlted to try the experiment, which was only
permitted one night. The performances were then con-
fined to pantomiaies and pantomimic burlettas, and that
so rigidly, that an information was lodged against Del-
pieri, for calling out " Roast beef I" in a pantomime.
A theatre was erected in this neighbourhood at the
beginning of the last century, which was situated is
Goodman's Fields, near Prescot-street; and, although
it was spoken of contemptuously in the .public journals
of the times, " as a great ease to she Ladies of Rap
Fair, who were forced to trudge as far vs Lincoln s
inn Fields, to mix themselves with the Ladies of quality,"
yet it ought not to be forgotten that.it was at this
theatre in Goodman's Fields that Garrick made.his first
appearance in towat, when the picture was reversed,
anti " the peopteof quality" were seen crowding night
after night towards Rag Fair, to see the great master
of..the c, mt. who hail lour at toyth. iu its precincts.
