PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.  LISBON, JUNE 16.--. The packet not sailing until this evening, I. have an opportunity of informing you of the news of this meriting. The John VI. is off the bar, and has been forbidden to enter the Tagus by the English brig of war. Site remains outside. The Galatea, British frigate has &rived this morning; neither has she nor the Medina, on Saturday, saluted the Castle of Belem, which is,. I believe, the etiquette. The Procris, brig of war, sailed this morning early for Oporto. The news from the army of Oporto is, that their delay was caused by waiting for orders from the Provisional Government, " but when we go down," say they, "we take care to go with force." On Thursday night last a 1-arty of the soldiers who escaped from Peniche attacked tkc militia stationed at Alcobaca. This may have given rise to the report of the expedition from Figueita to San Marmite. On 'the 9th and 11th, there were skirmishes between the advance posts. On the night of the I 1 th the troops at Leiria were under arms and greatly agitated. A gentleman who has just arrived from Leiria , told me that, all -- their hopes were founded on Don Miguel's- going up the country: A bed for him was prepared at the BishOp's Palace in Leiria, and at the convent of Alcoblea, but he will not go, for there are vessels preparing in the river. The P inceza Real, a Portuguese frigate, on board of Which Don Miguel has collected all the diamonds and valuable property of the Crown, is now bending her sails in the liver. All think Don Miguel will attempt to escape in her ; but this is a most unlucky moment, for there are three English frigates and two brigs, and a Portuguese man-ofwar, to oppose his passage. Report circulates that he is almost in despair. * * * * still at his * * work.— Although he must have known his intrigues cannot succeed, -he still corresponds, by his agents, with the old Queen—who boasts still that her party is acting under the intlnenee of the Duke of Wellington. The conduct ,of Don Miguel's agents and of the Apostolictx, to the British residents, is monstrous.— Mr. William Young, an English gentleman, married, and resident at Leiria, has, after fourteen years' living among the people there, been arrested, thrown for three days into a dark dungeon, removed from thence to the gaol privy, where he was kept five days and nights—his life called for by the mob and the murderers, and this all because the Apostolics called him a heretic and a spy. The true reason is, his being an Englishman. He has been brought this morning to the Castle of Lisbon,where he is confined. His life, during his journey, was frequently in great danger. He owes his safety to the kindness of the serjeant, who, with six dragoons, were his guard. I have this moment been informed that I am to be arrested, too, very soon. Should you not receive letters, you must conclude Inc to be in a dungeon, for describing the state of this country truly to you. One satisfaction will be, that I shall not be kept there long. In the Gazette of this morning, which was published at three o'clock, you will fired somestatements respecting the Students who had been accused of murdering the Professors near Condeixa. They are it is said, to be put into what is called the " Capella" to-marrow—after their sentmee—and five to be hanged on Friday next. In the other news Hot much reliance is to be placed.  The. Lords of the Treasury have granted permission to warehouse foreign goods aeChepstow, and it will be officially announced as a bonded port in a few days. This place is a port by nature, and with a flow of tide higher than any other port in Europe.—Hereford Journal. We are most happy to learn there is a strong probability that the Lords' Committee will report in favour of a duty on foreign wool. We have even heard that so convincing Was the case of the agriculturists, that only two Members of the Committee stood out against the proposition.—Briyhton Gazette. Mr. TIERNEY was in the House of Commons last night, the first time that the Right Hon. Gentleman has been in the House for a long time. We looked very thin and weak, and evidently walked with diminished strength. He was most cordially bailed by his friends in different parts of the House. • • •
