Pri►ate letters received from Lis eon, and dot d the
18th ult., mention that the Portuguese Governmer t
were about to send a lar.t military force to Bahia,
according to some accounis, as many st 12.000 men.
Notices had been stuck up, inviting shipowners to
send in tenders, containing the terms on which
'they would agree to charter their vessels for the
above destination. This rumor, is adop:ei by
the tire, not by virtue of any specie power re.
ceived from the Cortes for this purpose, bit in con
fortuity to a determination entered into when the
last advices arrived from Rabin. to leave its •faire
entirely to the King nod ►is Ministers, w►o, it
would seem, seam existing eireoutstanees, bare cos.
.idered this the melt advisable to adopt, ill order
in
prolong the onion with Portugal, and prevent a
civil oar. It is thought that it is the kteetios of
the Portnguese tioveroment to rattail sh a kind of&
pot at Baltic, as being in a central position. Part
of the troops, about 600 men, compelled to emberitat
Rio Janeiro, had arrived in the Tares, the remainder
having been obliged to go into port on souse part et
the coast near Pernambuco.

Letters were yesterday received from Bakis, dated
April 10, which mention that every thing was quiet
there. The Portuguese troops, the European party,
had the complete ascendancy ; and the letters 'abided
to, add, that there was little danger of their losing
it, as the Local Militia and Brazilian troops of tits
line bad been disarmed.

Dutch papers to the Ist inst. contain nothing of 1..
portAnce, except extracts from s Message of the
King of the Netherlands to the States General at the
Hague, recommending for their adoption a no w -
outdid operation, something similar, in its princi-
ple and detail, to our reduction of the Navy 5 per
Cents.—By this his Majesty expects to realize a
saving to the nation of four millions of florins.

Acecints from St. Petersburg of the 10 It May.
it.te that his Inq.erial flighnees the Grand Doke
Nicholas, bad left that city on the night of the
3J of May, in order to repair to the army which
is assembled in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.—
The Grand Doke Michael passed, on the 25th
of April, through Pskow, whence he continued hie
journey to Widay, on the road to %Vilna.
On Tuesday last the members of the Newcastle and
Northumberland Pitt Club dined together at the As-
sembly-rooms. The Chair was filled by J. 11. Coul-
son, Esq. and the Vicmchair by J. L. Loraine, Esq
On this oeess:on only 43 gentlemen dined together,
and we hope that this will be the last time we shall
have to record such a meeting. At a time, when
the effects of Mr. Pitt's system of govegoment are felt
in such an appalling manner. la Gm grrevoss bulbuls
which his extravagance has inflicted on the country, It
is safely high time to refrain from exultation. The
events of the day may well make the most devoted
of his admirers waver in their faith, and are saffivient
to render such meetings little short of insult to their
suffering countrymen. It is, besides, heartily to be
wished, that all such dinners, whether Pitt or Fox.
were discontioned.—(Neweeetle Chronicle.)
Dauer-Lewi Tezene.—The performances of last
night were nominally for the benefit of Mr. Kean. but
(to the honour of that gentleman's feelings) in reelity
for that of the suffering Irish peasantry. The enter-
' tainments commenced with an act from Massingeea
Play of the I:onsai Actor, in which Bean finely vindi•
cased the character of his profession ; which was suc-
ceeded by the Play of the Mountaineers. Kean's per-
formance of Genii-ion was altogether excellent ; and
the other principal parts were also sustaineJ with con-
siderable effect. The audience were oat:serous and
respectable, but theexpected overflow di 1 not take place.
V4VIIIALL-GARDENS.—Tbe delightful slimmer en.
tertainments for which these Gardens have been so
long remarkable, eonimenced last night with great im-
provements. A crowded and brilliant company as-
sembled at an early hour, which increased as the even-
ing advanced. We do not profess to enuaterate in our
brief notice all the changes that hare taken place un-
der the sew Proprietors, but we can state that the ge-
neral effect was splendid in a high degree, and that
the contrivances to divert the attention, by variety
of attractions, were attended with complete success.
—Four new Cosmorama, have been constructed in
differeot parts of the garden—a whole;engib trans-
parent Portrait of his Majesty, in his Coronation
robes, stands at the termination of one of the walks
—a splendid new cbandel!er decorates the trotatola
—the illuminated colennade bas been newly and
tastefully decorated, and a reflective prosTenium, called
Hrploploxieroptron, lined entirely tt ith looking glass,
and representing a fountain of real tracer--illuminated
revolving pillars, palm tree', serpents, and variegated
foliage have been added to the iist of the many objects
which delight the eve. There is also a Sceaic be-
atre, with moving figures. The Rope Dancing, by
Monsieur l.onguemare's troop, excited great attention
and applause; and the phatovmagoria drew consider-
able crowds when it was announced. It will requir
however, to be more elevated i n order to and every one
an opportunity of seeing it; but as we tlud.
stand that the managers are themselves aware
of this defect, and intend to remove it 6s
next night, we are scarcely called upon to notice
it as an objection. The proprietors !tore been
particularly anxious to offer to the frequenters of the
Gardens every possible comfort and convenience ;
new cloak rooms have been erected, aed most respect-
able females appointed for attendance upon the ladies.
To conclude, we shell merely observe that else per.
fortnances were agreeable throughout; and that the
company, who seemed delighted, twinned to a late
hour to enjoy the attraction and itativity of the near.
