PORTUGAL.
Don Pedro had been seriously i'll, but was on
the recovery. The correspondent of the Lon
don Globe says: "Now they have apprehen-
sons Of losing him, the Portuguese begin to
feel and acknowledge the value of such an in
trepid Prince. His exertions have been very
great, and he is likely, we fear, to fall sacr-
flee to his zeal in the cause of his daughter. Don
Miguel has certainly signed the protest against
his own abdication, and will consequently get
no money from the government OF Portugal.
| The two Chambers having given authority TO
Don Pedro to contract an alliance for his daugh-
ter with any foreign Prince whom he may Sc
lect, it is said that a second brother of the
Queen, and an Austrian Prince, are aspiring to
the honor. The elder brother of the Queen,
who was at first thought Of being attached to
some other lady, prefers her hand to that OF
Donna Maria. There might be some political
advantages in the union of the latter with d
| Prince of Austria
| On the first of September Don Pedro raised
twenty-six Portuguese to the rank OF Peers, but
only eight have as yet taken their oaths and
seats.

A New OBSERVATORY AT ST. Professionalism
observatory far supassing in magnitude every
similar establishment, is about to be built at St.
Pete:sburgh, by command of the Emperor
The observatory itself will consist OF three tow
ers, with movable cupolas. Two Of these tow
ers are to be appropriated to the Konigsburg
helometer, and the Dorpat refractor; but the
centre tower is destined for the reception OF an
instrument exceeding in size all others of the
kind. In the lower part of the towers, the me-
ridan and transportable instruments will be
placed. Spacious habtations for five astrono-
mers will be connected by two corridors with
these towers; so that the whole will form con-
tinuous building $40 feet in length. Smaller SUI
coordinate buildings for various purposes will in
crease the establishment, for the site of which
an eminence between six and seven miles from
st. Petersburgh has been selected.

Extract of a letter of the 9th instant from Ber-
lin" We continue to receive melancholy news
from Poland. The silence of the grave broods
over the country, and the efforts of the eXtraor
binary embassy sent to Paris by Russia, which
has Prince Lubecki at its head, and which is
charged to induce the emigrants of distinction
to return to their country, by offering them
complete amnesty, are said to have been unsuc-
cessful"
