Dispatches from LiSbOn.-Ihe graft
flying intelligence of the arrival of the Brit
iSh succors 10 Portugal, in the river Tagus,
was received this morning, by the return
home of the Sir Edward Banks steam YES
sci. This vessel left Lisbon on the eve
ming of Christmas day, at which time the
4th, and ,as some add the 25th regiment had
landed. The greatest possible joy perva-
ded the capital at the sight of the habits
r0ugeS, as the insurgents call them, and
this was not little heightened by the news
of the defeat of body of 1000 of these
afterwards dispersed and fed. The reb-
els were in forlorn condition, and, with
the exception of those under the immedi-
ate orders of the Marquis Chaves, were
gradually dissolving.
The Duke of York.-It is with extreme
regret that we have to announce, that no
further hopes are entertained of the pre-
servation of the Duke of York. 1t is sta
ted on authority, on which the greatest re-
lance may be placed, that, with 9 view of
keeping his Royal Highness free from pain,
to him to arrest the slow but sure progress
of his invcterate disease. In few days
at latest, we say it with heartfelt sorrow,
the public will learn the melancholy tidings
of his departure to that "bourne from
whence no ira 'eller returns.'
COnstdntinOple.--Our French papers in
form us that 10000 Mussulmen were be-
headed at Constantinople, between the
21st of October and the 10th of Novem-
Der, by order of the Sultan Mahmoud.
That prince now makes his appearance in
public accompanied only by his satellites :;
and the people regard him with SO much
terror that they fly al his approach. 1t is
believed, however, by the foreign resi-
dents, that he will sooner or later meet the
fate of many of his predecessors.
With regard to the negotiations which
the British Ambassador is carrying ON with
the Porte, it is believed that they are near
their accomplishment, and that measures
will be adopted favorable to the Greeks.
The Sultan, however, is said to have made
a declaration, that none of that nation
shall hereafter be promoted to the honors
of government; and to supply their place,
an academy has been established, for the
instruction of young Turks in the Eu-
ropean languages.---N. Y. Ado. \
More trouble IN Georgia.-A Milledge-
Vile paper says, the Surveyors who have
been employed on the land lying between

of the Florida Militia, has issued his order
directing the military force ordered against
the Indians to be discharged, in conse-
quence of having received assurance that
INC great DOuy Ol tIe ElolIud 1HuidHS Ic-

mitted, and that they were ready to coop
crate with the U. S. troops in bringing the
offenders to justice.
