Intelligence was received at Lloyd's yesterday of the ar- rival of the Magnet packet at Falmouth from Lisbon, hav- ing sailed from thence on the 17th. It appears that the political crisis in wvhich the capital was placed has termi- nated favourably by the KI NG'S going on shore and resum- ing his authority amitdst the rejoicings of the people, and by the departure of Prince MNIIGUEL for Brest, which had been determined, on board the Perola Portuguese frigate, escorted by the Lively English frigate, and the French brig of war Zebra. The KIXG landed at half-past six on the evening of the 14th, at the Royal iMarine Arsenal, while salutes were fired from all the ships of war in the harbour.The capital was illuminated on tbenight of the 14th.ThePRINeC has assumed the title of the Duke DE BEJA, by which he is to be designated while on his travels, and takes with him the CountdeRio MAJOR,ashisplincipal attendatit. His Majesty the King of PORTUGAL, amidst the joy of bis complete restoration to power, has distributed honoatrs with a lavish hand among those wvho had been instrumental to that event. The Foreigin Ambassadors have shared the most distinguished marks of the Royal favour. Cap- tain DASHsWOOD, the Conmmander of the Windsor Castle, has received the Grand Cross of the Tower and the Sword, with presents of great valne for his lady. All the officers shared liberally of his mtunificence, and the sum of 5001. was distributed among the crew. The KiNG on lauding is said to have directed his Ministers to lay beforehim difFerent projects for creating free ports- a privilege which it his intention to bestow on the city of Lisbon. As he passed through the streets, cries awere heard from the populace, of " Live the KxIc. alone." The following are extracts from the Lisbon Gazette:- LISBON, MAY 14. To-day, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, his -Majesty's frigate the Perola, commanded by Captain Afanoel de Vasconcelles Pereira, sailed from this port fcr England, having on board his Royal High- ness the Infant Don Aliguel. The reciprocal tenderness en taking leave, betweenhis Mdajesty and Iis august son, was evident toallwho were present; and their regret can only be softened by the flattering hope that his Royal Highness will meet in this voyage with all the satisfaction and the acquisitions which he promises himself from it. Yesterday, the 13th, being the anniversary of the birth-day of his Mlajesty, the royal standard was hoisted on Fort St. George, and the usual royal salutes were fired, both from the forts and vessels in the harbour. His Alajesty received, on board the wind.or Castle, the compliments of the Court, thediplomatic body, and an immense number of his faithful subjects of all clauses, wlho an this occasion, as on the preceding day, emulated each other in manifesting to their beloved Sovereign their unshaken fidelity, submisgion, and attach- ment to his sacred person. Their Royal Highnesses the Infantas Donna Isabella Alaria aud Donna MIaria d'Assumpqao were in company with their father, and his MIajesty received with the greatest affability the loyal sentiments of his subjects. The sea was covered with vessels, and the fineness of the weather gave great effect to this animated scene. The city was splendidly illuminated in the evening; and at the theatres, as well as every-where else, it is impossible to describe the enthusiasma shown by the loyal in- habitants for the best, the most humiane, and most just of Kings. The following documents were published on this occasion:- " Accounts ofthie distinctions in presents conferred by his MvIa- jesty on the members of the Diplomatic Body, and officers of the English and French ships of war, at anchor in the Tagus, on the 13th of May, 1824, the anniversary of his birth-day :_ " To Baron Hyde de Neuville, the tite of Conde da Bemposta.

On leaving the vessel, lhis Mlajesty was complimented by a salute, which was re- peated by all the other vessels in the harbour, and the crews, who manned the yards, gave the usual cheers. The Captain of the Wind- sor Castle, with his officers, accompanied his Alajesty in the barge, followed by another boat with the ship's. band of music. No cx- pressions can paint the enthnsiasm which the immense crowd of in. habitants of this capital, of all classes and all ages aud both sexA, manifested-'towards their august and adored Sovereign at the ito- ment of his landing.

If, on form^r occasions, I have been enabled to give undoubfed proofs of my. fidelitv, the paternal hcart of yoar Mlajesty will now accept them as a sufficient excusL for the involuntary erroFs I have been led to commit by the want of expe- rience and reflection natural to youtb. " Fearing that my presence in Portugal may afford. pretexts to ill-designing persons to renew the irrquietudes and intrigues wholly foreign to the pare sentiments whch I can with truth declare to be mine, I request yoar Majesty'will deign to permit mne to travel for some time in Europe. I request fi.rther, that your Mlajesty will re- ceive my assurances, that 1 wil unceasingly address the most fer- vent prayers to Heaven, that your reign rmay be tranquil and pros- perous, being ready to shed my bl ood in attestation of my fidelity." THE XINX;'S REPLY. "Iiaflnt Don Miguel, my well-'eloved son,-I, the King, address you as one whom I dearly regardI and cherish. In reply to the let- ter you have written to me this day, I have only one thing to tell you, which is, that there is no feeling of my heart towards you vhich has not its source in my paternal attachment. Under this in- fluence, I forget yonr involuntarlf errors, to remember only the im- portant service rendered by yout. last year to the throne and the nation.. " I grant you the permission you ask, to travel for some time in Europe, v*ell persuiaded that yo%rr conduct will be such as to merit my approbation.
