Capt. Merrill from Havre we have received,
(say the Editors Of the NY. Evening Post,) Havre
papers TO the 18th of April, inclusive, from which
we have translated the following articles:
Havre, April r.
The Jules Julie, the arrivals of which we an
neunced yesterday, left Lisbon the Sd OF April,
and as we then minated, the capital of Portugal
continued TO present up to the time of her depar-
ture, the atictng prospect of civil disturbances.
Don Miguel, whose projects of despotism are no
longer doubtful, had not yet, however, caused his
absolute power to be proclaimed. The moment,
however, for the accomplishment OF the usurpa-
ion-cannot be far distant. 1t was even announc-
ed that, before the 10th, it would be consum-
mated.
Among the passengers Of the Jules julie the
number of which amounts to %, are the Director
OF the Customs, and Nj. Morinto de Silveira Min
ister OF State, who have followed the example of
that large number OF the citizens of Portugal now
emigrating in the vessels which leave the city OF
Lisbon.
The English marines who, to the number OF GOO
men, had taken possession oil two of the forts
which command the fagus, not disposed to
give them up to Don Miguel, who has demanded
their restitution in the strongest terms, and had
threatenedn case Of refusal to take them by force
The presence Of the vessels which the English
have left before Lisbon, appears however, TO have
made him pause before executing this violent de-
sign
The Count OF Salhanda, Ex-Minister of War;
who recently left England, alarmed by the specta-
Gle of'the troubles, dared not dsembark at Lisbon
he at first thought OF going on board the Jules e,
Julie, but finally resolved returning to Ports
mouth, by the Steam packet Duke OF York.
HAvRE, April II.
The Engineers which were to leave Toulon in
the brig Alcyon, will embark in the Alacrity-to
place themselves under the orders Of the Coun,
Capo DIstria, and to offer their services to the
Greek Government. Two vessels had arrived at
that port with dispatches from Admirals Marigny
and Coliet. A convoy of 35 sail entered Tuuion
on the same day. One of the captains of this con-
voy related that the frisate Astrea had taken and
burnt an Aigerine corsair.
Accounts from the neighborhood of Aigiers, up
to 2Sth OF March, say that the blockade continues
to be vigorously enforced

1--WE are happy to say that our intelligence from

mentioned, on the authority of letters from Con-
stantinopie Of February Fl, that the Black Sea
Is again open TO neutral vessels, that the
sures against the Catholic Armenians had been
much relaxed, that the Porte was about
to execute, in ali its conditions, the treaty
OF Akerman. The hope of an approaching

our squadron on that station, by numerous saluies.

The police has made many useless attempts to dis

had arisen between Col Fabvier and the Epir0-
pie of Chios; the latter having been accused OF
trafiicking his own occount, in Turkish prison.
