The Lisbon mail brought dispatches from his Excel. lency Sir CHARLES STIIART to Mr. Secretary CANNING, and from Vice Admiral Lord Astatatis BEACCLERIt to Mr. Cnorczn. Every thing had been quiet, except eel Chaves, where a slight disturbance had taken place, hip, of no consequence, ancle.hich was soon quelled. The letters do not mention the change of Ministry spoken of in the F'ench Papers. His Majesty's ship GLASGOW arrived in the Tagus on the 26th ult. but sailed again on the 29th. The OCEAN, GENOA, ALSION, and DIAMOND, remained in the Tagus. Private letters from Lisbon to the 80th ult. convey a lively idea of the enthusiasm on the promulgation of the Constitution, and also the preparations for general rejoicing on the day the Constitution is to be sworn to by the Portuguese Ministers and other public Functionaries. It is hinted, however, that there are cabals against the new order of things in Lisbon, though the enthusiasm of the inhabitants is so great, that the Queen's party will be probably deterred from making any movements. In one of the mobs, a madman, pro climing the Quaru, was shot by the soldiers, who have, in several instances, been called out, on account of the great excitement in the public m;nd. • Three soldiers belonging to the 83d Regiment, now lying at Tynemouth, were drowned on Thursday morning last, at a place called the Short Sands, near Tynemonth. The lamentable catastrophe was occasioned by the individuals going beyond the breakers.

Saturday, a fashionably dressed man, in s handsome stanhope, drove up to the shop of Mr. D. Ellis, jeweller and goldsmith, No. t, John-street, Oxford-street. After telling him that he wanted some plate for his chambers, as he was unwilling to send and disturb his regular sets in the country, he selected some of the most valuable, which he desired might be packed up and sent to his lodgings. Affecting however, to recollect himself, he stated that he was then going to drive home, and Mr. Ellis might seed the plate and a person to receive the money, with him in the gig: This Mr. E. consented to; the purchaser exhibited such gentility in dress and manner, that he felt convinced of his respectability..— The gentleman drove to the Temple, where he desired the jeweller to remain and take care of the gig, while he took the plate into his chambers, and he would send his servant with the money, who would relieve him of the gig. The jeweller remained for several hours, but he never saw minter, servant, or money afterwards ; and returned only with a handsome horse and gig, which had doubtless been hired for the above purpose.
