PORTUGAL.
LONDON, AUG 2l.-Lisbon papers to the
10th INST are received. The private let
ters state that king John vas so unwel that
no audiences had been obtained from him
for some time. Many. hoTever, thought
that the queens party prevented his ma
jssty from seeing any OF his late advi
sers and friends. Things here must very
shortly change, for most powerful and
distinguished party is now in active opera
ton against the present ministers, and il IS
expected that they will speedily be overs
thrown elc. The PalReia and Pampiona
system ~. to shake Of the British yoke. as
they term it, and to submit The government
OF that part OF the Peninsula to the Inilu
ence OF the Continental Rulers To effect
this. and To aid the general views OF the
ministry, the duke OF Angouleme had been
seriously solicited to march $4,000 French
soldiers into Portugal in exchange tor
Portuguese army OF equal strength, and
by these means il was expected that EN-.
piJyment might have been obtained for the
DISCONTINUED Portuguese soldlery. Mr..
Ward, the British charge d'Afalres, pro-
tested against any such proceedings, and
Immediately acquainted the minister Pal
mela Ot bis instructions tO cease acting as
British Mnc'ionsry, the moment any TO-
reign troops lntererec IN the internal al.
fairs OF Portugal. The disposition OF The
Portuguese army continued TO cause the
utmost uneasiness among the friends OF The
absolute king, and during Two or three days
previous to the sailing OF the packet, re.
peated instances had been gwen OF their
state of excitement. They were cIamo-
rous tor the disappointment of their old Of
fcers, and refused to obey the tadets
whom the queens party had placed over
them. They also openly declared that
they had been duped, and il was thought
that :bey were ready ~ follow any Con.
s,iutlonal leader who might again head
them. Whilst this was the state OF the
public feeling in Portugal, the government
was using all the power OF the kingdom 10
assist the French against Spain. On The
9th OF August the brig of war Providentia,
