Yesterday Mlr. Secretary Canning had an audience of His Majesty. Count Munster, the Hanoverian Minister,. had also an auidience of the Kin)g. The Constitutionnel of Monday last, reasoning on the Lisbon news, remarks with great truth, that the party which calls itself mor,archical in 1'ortugal takes a singular method of sbowing its respect to the righlts of the Crown, paternal authority, and legitimate Government. Of the two Princes of that kingdem, the elder declares war against his fa- ther, and the younger keeps him a prisoner in his palace. Letters were received yesterday from nMalta, dated the 29th ult. The reports of peace with Algiers which had been circulated there, are ascertained to have been un- founded, but the sole ground of diffterence understood still to subsist, was the removal of the -English Consul who had given the original offlence, which the Dey insisted on, but was willing to muake everv other concession required of hinm. It is probable, therelbre, that news will shortly arrive oi'a final accomnmodation. Tlhe Pavenge, 74, was to sail from Malta on the 1st instant, to join the squadron off Algiers. The Cambrian frigate had sailed for 'I'unis, &c., and se- veral ships of' war were stationed at various points from which they could with greater facility afford protection to the British trade from the depredations of the pirates. His Britannic Majesty's sloop of war the Pandora sailed with a convoy from Malta for Gibraltar, on the 27th of April, and on the same day she wvas joined by a small fleet from Smyrna, after which the whole proc<>eeded for the Gut. Thcse letters copfirm the. accountsof the destruction ot' the arsenal at Cairo by fire, and state that it was not believed at Alexandria that the Pacha of Egypt would take any part in the expedition against the Greeks.

'l'he two males appeared in European costttne, wearing plaini black coats, silk stockings, and shoes. 'fhese islandters are of a very laree size. The men appear to be above six feet, and ex_ ceeaingly stout. The females are equally fat and coarse made, and proportionably taller than the men.
