ish Minister and the Pope's Nuncio, the on
Lisbon, sighted Miguel, by declining to at
tend court on Easter Monday, to which he
had expressly invited them. The country
remains in most distracted and miserable
state, as will be seen from the following ex-
tract from Lisbon letter." The want of
money is still the crying evil. Arrests are
going forward. even amongst the adherents
of absolution; several of the employers have
been imprisoned this week in this CITY,"
| From Oporto, it is known that prisoners
arrive daily from the neighboring districts,
and that discomfort is spreading more than
ever. Robberies take place in the villages
in every quarter; strong patroles of horse
police are parading Lisbon on all sides. A
vessel is preparing to convey political pris-
oners to the African colonies. We are fur
Their assured that number of secret socie-
ties calling themselves the Avengers of Lee
/ gitimacy, have recognized Dona Isabella,
the sister of Don Miguel, as the Regent of
I the kingdom. The Government is so dis
I tressed, that many soldiers of the line have
been discharged for want of means to give
them their pay.
! COLOMBIA. By very short arrival at New
York from Maracaibo, the passage being only
ninteen days, the Journal of Commerce has
been favored with the following extract of a
| letter, dated
Maracaibo, May Is, $780, BY an express
received few days since, it appears that all
( Colombia is in favor of Paez, and that Bolivar
with his suite has left Bogota for Carthagena,
there TO embark for the colonies, probably new
er to return to this country. If this be true,
business will again revive"
! KING OF ENGLAND. In all probability, the
next arrival will bring us the news of the death
! of George the Fourth, King of Great Britain,
! Ireland and Wales. He was born August l2,
| 1862, and of course is in the 6eth year of his
age. He dies without issue, and will be sue
ceedsd by his brother William Henry, Duke of
| Clarence, who was born August %, 1885, and
| is therefore only three years younger than his
| brother. He too, has no legitimate issue, and
will undoubtedly be succeeded by the daughter
of the late Duke of Kent, now in her minority,
being only about ten years of age. The new
Monarch will be the fourth of the name of Will
liam, as his brother was of the name of George
| Salem Register.
The Duke of Clarence, who succeeds to the
| Throne of England in the event of the death of
[ the present King, must be now in the 65th year
| of his age. The princess Victoria, daughter of
the late Duke Of Kent, who, after the Duke of
Clarence, is the heir presumptive to the crown,
is in the eleventh year of her age, and is already
nearly as great favorite with the English peo-
i pie as was the lamented wife of Prince Leopold
Her acquisitions and accomplishments are said
to be quite uncommon for such a child, and her
temper and manners have been highly extolled.
The present heir apparent is represented as be-
ing of a naughty and morose disposition
" neither seeking nor obtaining from those
J around him admiration respect" If so, he
must differ very much from the rest of his fam
| lily, who, whatever may be their personal char.
acter in other respects, have never been charg-
ed with want of urbanity of manners. There
are those in this city who recollect the Duke
of Clarence when midshipman of the British
Navy, as a lively and frocsome boy. At the
| very time his fiirtations here with some of the
! bellies OF that day were assuming so grave a
character, that the Admiral under whom he
sailed, thought it necessary to interdict the la
| dies of the city from dancing with his royal
highness, the brother to "the first gentleman
in the world" was skating with the boys of the
city behind where the hospital is now situated,
with sergeanps guard as an escort tagging at
his heels-N. Y. .a1aericaa,
EMIGRATION. At the last accounts from
Great Britain, the fever for emigration pre-
vailed very generally among the working
classes. Three vessels had left Leith for
Halifax and Quebec with passengers. The
Inverness Courier states that vessels had
been freighted at that port to sail about the
end OF May for Canada, and no less than
three hundred adults, with their families,
had registered their names as passengers.
The tide OF emigration extended to every
part of Scotland. A great number of emf
grants had taken passage at Dundee for the
| United States. One of the emigrants, an
infirm man of eighty -four, had to be carried
into the boat, expressing little hope of
reaching the promised land in life, but who
could not be induced to remain in country
which was deserted by all his family and
acquaintance. The quays of .Greenock
and Port Glasgow presented an unusual
hustle by the arrival and embarkation of
| emigrants from all parts of the country, to !
various vessels about to sail for America.
The Glasgow Chronicle states that some of
these are wealthy agricultural and COM
mercial emigrants, who take a considerable !
sum of money with them to their adopted !
country. The Chronicle says, "the mania |
! for emigration to the United States seems
still to rage with undated fury, 80 that, no
! sooner is one vessel sailed, than another is
Immediately filled with passengers"
BREACH OF PROMISE, In the Court of Kings !
Bench, silk manufacturer, of the name of
Anwyl, has been cast in damages to the amount !
Of $500 for breach of promise of marriage to I
Miss Coke, of Leicester. The plaintiff was
young lady of great accomplishments, and un-
excePtionable in every point of view-hcr age
was two and twenty. The defendant was an
uneducated man, somewhere about forty. He
had, by long course of assiduites, endeavored
to secure the young lady's affections and at
his earnest request the marriage day was fixed. |
1t appeared that Miss Coke required to be bled |
| several times for some inlammatory affection,
during the correspondence which she maintain.
