From tho New-York Evening Post, Aug. IT,
FROM PORTUGAL.

FROM PORTUGAL.
The ship Eliza and Debby arrived at
this port last Saturday evening from
Lisbon and Oporto-saled from The lat
ter place on the esd of June. From an
intelligent passenger in her we learn,
that on the ed of June the Portuguese
government discovered conspiracy,
the object Of which was TO overthrow
the then existing form of that govern
ment. About one month before, the
Cortes had, upon representation made
to them by the Minister of Justice, sus-
pended for the space of one month, the
4th article of the basis of the Constitu-
ton, (similar 10 the habeas corpus act,)
and had empowered this Minister to ar
rest and send into different parts of the
kingdom, such individuals as he night
Judge dangerous to the security of the
state; foreigners Of this description
might be sent out of the kingdom. a.
mong the persons thus arrested and
placed under the special inspection of
the Police, were some eminent ecciesi-
asticks and several officers of the army.
In the night from the first to the 2L of
June the Police apprchcnded five per-
sons in the act of printing and carrying
away for distribution, inhammatory and
revolutionary proclamations, from which,
as also from some other papers found in
their possession, it appeared satisfactory
that a great conspiracy had been form
ed, and that the dav chosen by the con-
spirators for the execution of their de-
signs, was Thursday the 9th of June,
being Corpus Christi Day, which is cell
cbrated in Lisbon by very splendid and
solemn procession, followed by the King,
the Royal family, and the whole court.
On that day the conspirators intended
to seize the person Of the King, and
i. force him TO abdicate in favour Of the
Crown Prince. This Prince being now
In Brazil, his return was TO be await
ed, and meanwhile Prince Michael, the
Kings second son, was to be placed at

referring to another from wilma, which
stated, sit is said that great change
had taken place in the sentiments of AL

that the catastrophe of Scio had excited
the most profound indignation both at
Moscow and St. Petersburgh."

NATURAL CURIOSITIES.

The serpents in the possession Of Mr.. Neal on
Sycamore street, objects in our opinion eminent.
ly deserving the attention of the curious. To see
full grown Rattle Snake (perhaps the most deadly
poisonous of the serpentne race) upwards oil feet
in length, or inches in circumference, with Its
fangs and rates entire, so completely domesticated
as to be handled with perfect safety as to coil it.
self upon the neck and ks, the cheeks OF its master
in short, to be as completely under his command
as his dog, and to manifest the same grateful affec-
lion towards him, is certainly phenomenon in ma
ture, calculated to excite wonder and establishment
in the minds of the learned we'll the unlearned.
ME-. N. has two other serpents equally docie.
Mr.. Neal at the solicitation of a number of gen.
tlc1en, was induced to exhibit his Rattlesnakes
publicly at the Court house, on Tuesday evening
last. They consist of male and female, natives OF
North Carolina the former full grown, the latter
not so large. They surprisingly tractable, and
obedient to the command oftheir master, and mani
fest towards him degree of attachment which we
have been accustomed TO witness only in our most
domestic animals They were turned loose upon a
large table. surrounded by the spectators, without
exciting the least alarm. Indeed these reptiles, al
though in full possession of their ife-destroying
power, yet appear willing to use the dreadful wea-
pons which nature has given them solely for the
purpose of procuring food. They seem to bear no
enmity towards man. A large Rat brought within
reach of the elder Snake, received single and ap
parently slight blow from the reptile, which in ten
minutes produced commissions and in fifteen minutes
the rat was quite dead. The snake then swallowed
his prey, body and limb at mouthiul. -Petg. INT.

STATE OF FRANCE.

The intelligence from France by the last arrival
from Liverpool reports that country in an unsettled
state. However honest the intention or benevolent
the disposition of the present king may be, and we
are not disposed to question either, it is evident that
the Bourbons have but precarious hold of their
present station and that neither the people the
army seem inclined to relinquish their attachment
to the late Emperor, and his family. The history
of France since the restoration may be considered
as little more than history of conspiracies against
the successors of their ancient kings, and it is the
|opinon OF many well acquainted with the state of
the Kingdom, that il will be extremely difficult, If
not impossible to reconcile The people to the Bour-
bons whom, for quarter Of century they had been
taught to detest. who they allegc have been for
ced upon them by foreign bayonets Scarcely since
the restoration, has conspiracy been developed
and crushed till another succeeded The last, if we
recoect rightly, was but short time since, headed
10y General BENTON, and we have now coniu-
sed account of another, brought by the .uaSnet,
headed by lieutenant colonel CARoN
There are also private accounts from France
which speak in very plain terms of the revolution
airy disposition of the people, and we know there is
one resting on very respectable authority which re-
presents The Government more apprshensve at
this time of junction and political understanding
between the army and the people than at any period
since the abdicaton of Napoleon.-Bah<Fd.G aT.

A CURIOUS FISH.

Portland, Maine, august 6.
A curious Fish was discovered last week in
shoai water near one of the islands in harbor
by Mr.. Charles Littlejohn, man who resides OIL
the island and follows fishing.
From its novel and singular appearance. Mr.. L.
was induced to make some endeavours TO get it on
shore.
On approaching near the fish, he perceived il was
stationary, and concluded there would be no diff
Guilty in taking it to the shore in his hands. But,
to his great establishment, he had no sooner touched
the fish, than he received such severe shock, as
almost threw him backwards and at first thoueh hi
some one must have struck him; however, on turD
ing round he saw no one near him. He made
another attempt to secure the fish, and received
another electric shock, which he then perceived
was communicated by the fish. He persevered,
however, in securing it, and brought it to town,
where number of the citizens were grat6ed and
astonished in witnessing its wonderful electrical
powers. 1t was torpedo. (Reja Torpedo) inea-
surfing in diameter about foot and half.
1t is presumed the torpedo has never before been
discovered far north, and it is much to be re-
GREETED, that more care not taken to preserve
the life for longer time. that more might have
witnessed its wonderful acuties. II kept in
tub of water for ten twelve hours, after which il
languished and died. Mr.. L. has saved the Skin
and stuffed it for dry preparation.

Whom Tibbets had pronounced this
with great emphasis, he pulled out a
well filed leathern purse; took out a
handful of gold and silver, paid his
score at the bar with great punctuality,
returned his money, piece by piece, in-
to his purse; his purse into his pocket,
which he buttoned up; and then, giving
his cudgel stout thump upon the floor,
and bidding the radical "good morn.
ing sir,'' with the tone of a man who
conceives he has completely done for
his antagonist, he walked with lion-like
gravity out of the house. Two or three
of Jacks admirers who were present,
and were afraid to take the field them
selves, looked upon this as perfect
triumph, and winked at each other
when the radicals back was turned
"Aye aye" said mine host, as soon as
the radical was out of hearing, ''let old
Jack alone, I'll warrant he'll give him
his own.'
