Probable Suspen sion of Hostilities.—'The Lon

columns of letteis from its -correspondents in
Portugal, together with extracts from Lisbon pa
pers, dowu to the 12th of September inclusive.
Although these advices are not so Igtfc by several
days as those previously received here direct,
yet they are more ample and perfect. The For
mer accounts just referred to, respecting the at
tack of BoiiniMMit upon Lisbon—his repulse
ami the relative position and condition of the
parties—are confirmed, and some interesting de
tails of the operations are given, which are an
nexed below. We have likewise the further and
Still more important and gratifying information,
that the contest between the contending bro
thers, is drawing rapidly to a close, by offers of
capitulation on the part of Bourmont, and
through the interposition, if not the meditation,
of Great Britain. We extract those articles
which appear to be of most consequence.
[iVetr York Com.
The following article, containing a connected
narrative ul events from the 3d to the 12th of
September, inclusive, is from the Davenport Te
Ie'»r,»ph—being the substance of information re
ceived at Plymouth by the (British) government
' steamer Echo—arrived, as it is believed, with
proposals from Don Miguel for tbe intervention
of England to adjust the quarrel:
From the first notice of the approach of Don
Miguel, the greatest esertions were made to nn
ish the lines and defence* ^of the city; Don Pe
dro himself, and many persons of the tint rank,
frequently working in the trenches. As the Mi
guelites advanced, the country people cameflock
ing into the city with their moveables, to escape
the barbarity of the enemy’s soldiers, whose con
duct was ferocious to all who fell int^their bauds.
Every place they passed in their march from
Santarem was pillaged, and in numerous instan
ces the people were murdered in cold blood —
The Duke of Terceira, having only 6,000 rcgu
Jar troops, fell back as the Miguelites, who were
16.000 strong, advanced; his rear guard being
frequently engaged in their retreat.
On the evening of toe 31st, a aharp skirmish
took place, in which the Miguelites lost one hun
dred men. £ome of the English and Irish brig
ades had arrived from Oporto on the 29th. The
Echo confirms the intelligence previously receiv
ed through the French papers, of the attack up
on the lines of Lisbon on the 5th instant, which
was commenced at five o’cloik in the morning
of that day, by a heavy cannonading upon the
seat of the Marquis of L<»ren*tel. which forms
one of the principal points oi defence, and the
great body of the army shortly after attacked the
centre of the line; twelve hundred men attack
ed- Lorenste', which was bravely defended by
eighty lour men only, vnd though the hou**.
which had been conver’rd in’o a fort, was abso
luielv riddled, the Migehtes even'ually aban
doned the attack as hopeless; one huudred^od
twenty round shot passed through the building.
About nine A. M the body of the Miguelite
army tell hack, and the cannonading ceased, but
skn mishvs were kept up during, the whole day—
the Miguelites boldly keeping within pistol shot
of tne lines, and shooting at the Pedroi'es through
the embrasures of the fortifications. In the eve
ning a detachment of Cacadores was sent to
drive in the enemy’s light troop*, in which they
succeeded niter a sharp struggle. ineiossin
thin engagement is computed at four hundred
killed and wounded on the Constitutional side,
and seven or eight hundred on the Miguelite;
the loss of officers on the side of Don Pedro was
>erv severe; but none of the English officers ap
pear in the list. The Irish brigade was engag
ed. but not an officer wounded. The Pedroltes
evinced a dreadful spirit of revenge, putting all
the prisoners to death.
On the 9th, a Miguelite force, to the amount
of 400 cavalry, supported by a bndv of infantry,
took possession of the village and palace of Aju
da, which they plundered, carrying off even the
church plate, which it was supposed would have
been respected by so bright a luminary of the
church. Don Viguel was supposed to be at his
palace of Queluz, and Gen. Bourmont with the
bodv of the Miguelite army, winch has encamp
ed at Campo Grande, four milaaNom Lisbon.
On the 12th inst. Miguel .sent in proposals for
an accommodation bv Col. Hare, one of the at
taches to Lord William Russel. Six of these
propositions, among which were three—1st, for
the inviolability of the church property—2d, that
Dor Miguel should have secured to him all the
estates to which he was entitled as Infant—3d,
a general amnesty—were positively refused; the
otb:r propositions were on matters of little or no j
iinpo-tance. As soon as Don Pedro’s reply to ;
the*.* terms was.known, Gen Bourmont applied i
to Lo.d William Russell and Admiral Paiker to I
act as mediators. This wa9 declined, as they |
had not sufficient authority to act; but they of
fered to despatch a steam packet immedateiy to
England with the propositions, and to obtain in
structions from our govenment, wnich despatches
were brought home by Lieutenant Otway, in the
Echo, who proceeded forthwith to London.—
M'-anwhile hostilities had ceased for the pre9rnt,
though no formal armistice was agreed upon, and
every precaution was taken to prevent surprise.
1'he lines of Lisbon, which now mount 100 |
cannon and 18 mortars, have been so strength
ened since the attack that they may now be said
to be impregnable, and a second attack with Mi
f-uel’s present forces, madness. The P‘*droite 1
orces amount to 800 cavalry, including 250 lan-1
cers, under the command of Major Bacon, and
about 17.000 infantry. The ci»v was in a very 1
unsettled stste, and the confidence of the nr.er- j
cha<U* somewnai lessened in consequence of the
ap arent change in the policy uf the English au
thnrittes. It was confidently a99ert?d that the
KneHsh government had offered to send 6000
troops to support D >nna Maria on the throne of
Portugal, i! bon Pedro himself, of whom there
was some distrust, would consent to give up all
authority and quit the country. This ««i refus
ad. and shonly after a letter was forwarded by
/
were perfectly at liberty to do so, but they must
consider, in that event, that they were without
the protection of the British Government} and
the tacit assistance given to the Constitutionalists
was changed to a strict neutrality.
Previously to the attack of the 5th, the mer
chants applied to the Admiral to land the marines
to protect the Custom House, but this was not
complied with.
Oporto is left in the command of General
Stubbs} Captain Napier was still in the Tagus,
with the principal part of his squadron refitting.
Some little inconvenience was felt at Lisbon
in consequence of Bourmont having cut ofi the j
supply of water from the acqueduct, but as the;
whole of the south of the Tagus was open, a sup
ply was obtained without much difficulty. When
the Echo left Lisbon, the British force on the sta
tion were, the Asia, flag ship, £aptain P Rich- i
ards; the Talavera, Captain Chetham; the Done
gal, Captain Fanshawe; the Stag, Captain Lock- |
yer; the Belvidera, Captain Saunders; the Sa
vage, 10, Lieutenant Loney; and the Viper,
schooner, Lieutenant James. The Leveret, j
Lieutenant Lapidge, was at St. LTbe9.
There is no doubt as to the Echo having
brought intelligence of the propositions of Boor
moot for a capitulation, on the 11th, which were
believed to have been rejected by Don Pedro.—
Still there is some uncertainty as to the actual
facts of the case. The Falmouth Packet, in a
second edition, states, that after the rejection of
the proposed conditions by Don Pedro, by the
advice of Lord William Russell, it was believed
that the articles of capitulation were actually
signed; and when the Echo left the Tagus, flags
were flying, and olher testimonials of public re
joicing were inanilest. And yet. on the other
j hand, a letter from before Lisbon of the 12th, ap
pears still to anticipate another attack. We
; quote the following.
“ We are in daily expectation of an attack j
iruill I lie *Tii«urmw, wiiu aic in luitc i/runc iw ,
city, but I am pretty certain they will get a ;
good licking, as 'he lines are now made so very ;
strong. They lost a great many men on the first
attack, and could not get in, although the weak- '
est part of the position was attempted. Every i
day’s delay on their part is equal to 500 men to i
Pedro; deserters are continually coming in. I
verily believe they never would have got the ;
troops from betore Oporto, had they not been de
ceived by Miguel, in saying that there was an 1
American fleet outside to assisi them, and that
St. Julian, the key of the Tagus, was in their i
possession; and moreover, the deserters say they
were led (osuppose they would have been able to
inarch into Lisbon without opposition, supposing ,
it to be defended only by • National Guard But
what was General Clouet's suprise when he found
4000 men had arrived from Oporto.’*
FRANCE.
Paris papers of the 21st announce ihe arrival
of our Minister, Mr. Livingston, in that city.
It was computed that the removal of the Obe
lisk from I’hcbes to Paris, which is now prosecu
ting. will cost two million and a half of francs.
Gnat improvements were in progress in the (
city of Paris, both in the building ot warehouses,
for use, and the erection of arches for embel- !
Iishment. The works at the Triutnphial Arch,
Barrie re I’Etoile,were going on with great activity.
A Royal Ordonnance was signed on the 20th
for inert asiug the artillery from eleven to four- ;
teen regiments. This however is not regarded as .
any w at like indication.
| Pahis, S»-pt. 20.—It is quite certain that there
has bt-en a -ermus altercation between Louis
P l ip itiid M de Broglie, on the subject of a
1 diplomatic correspondence carried on by the King
without the participation ol the Department of ,
Foreign A dan s M de Broglie has even tender
ed his resignation, but he h»s been retained by l
1 the solicitations of several Members, one of whom
was M Guiiot, who considered this act as the
signal for the dissolution of the Doctrinaire Min
isirv.
SPAIN.
Madrid dates of the 11th, received at Paris,
announce that the Kina, whose daily airings
! had been suspended, by the advice of his phy- J
| sicians, had so tar recovered as to resume them.
Hi« complaint is now said to be the sciatic a.
The cholera was still raging at Seville, more
especially among the lower classes. A letter from
I Madrid says:—
*• This scourge has made its appearance at
! Cordova, Grenada, Malaga, and several other
j places. It is said that it also prevails at E*tra- '
madura. The coach f:om Seville has been stop
ped at three leagues Iron, the capital and the pas
sengers p*t under quarantine for twelve days.—
Political news now (Kcupt* abut little attention,
whilst every body speak* of the terrible malady
which is at our gates. It is even said that one case
of cholera ha« occurred in s hospital at Madrid,but
this is doubtful. We are assured that the Court
and the Government will quit the capital on tneap
pearance of the disease. The garrison will be en-1
encamped near Madrid, and the people left to do
as well as they can.”
A lazaretto had been established within four !
leagues of Madrid.
Crimes and tragical events are said to be mul
tiplying throughout the kingdom to an alaroiiog
extent. Details are given of the most shocking •
description, and indicate, in no doubtful mea- ■
sure, that the government is in hands either bad j
or weak.
HOLLAND.
Prince Potemkin, Ambassador from the Em
peror of Russia, arrived a! toe Hague upon his
mission on the 19ih of September.
BELGIUM.
The details of the Brussels papers are at a
short remove from absolute insignificance. They
relate-principally to congratulations from various
quarters upon the birth of the Royal Infant, and
the programmes of fetes aud ceremonies.
The only exemption we perceive from the pre
ceding remark is a paragraph in the Union, which
savs—‘*W’eare assured that the Government yes- 1
t**rday received official intelligence that the Cab
inet of the Hague refused to agree to the propo-! I
sals made to.it by the Conference.”
This intelligence is confiimed by the latest ac- 1
counts from Brussels. i
GERMANY. |
The interviews between the Sovereigns of the !
North of Europe, have been of such a cordial de- j1
scription, as to create very favorable impressions i1
among their subjects. It was expected that the <
Emperor of Russia would attend a grand re- *
view of Prussian troopa at Berlin. The King!1
of Prussia had accepted an invitation from the |*
Emperor of Austria, to attend a review of 75,000 i
Autumnal review* were making both in Prowia
and in the dominions of the German Empire.
DENMARK.
A new ship of the line, of 84 guns, was launch
ed at Copenhagen, on the 12th of September, in
the presence of their Majesties.and Royal family,
and received the name of ihe Skjold. The navy
now consists of 6 ships of the line of from 64 to
84 guns, 6 Irigate* of 36 to 46 gens, 6 corvettes
of 20 guus, 6 brigs from 13 to 18 guns, 6 cutters
and schooners of 8 guns, and 70 gun-boats, with
l or 2 guns; so that a squadron with 1,000 guns
might be sent to sea.
ITALY.
A letter dated the 4th of September, give* the
following account of a collection of military force,
which seems to indicate some formidable move
ment.
“ The number of (Austrian) troops in the en
virons of Mantua is daily augmented. The
largest camp, perhaps ever formed, is now as
sembled in the environs—it consists of 90,000
men, with 300 pieces of cannon. Only four re
giments of cavalry will be there, partly on ac
count of the scarcity of forjge, and partly be
cause the ground is not favorable for cavalry ma
noeuvres Four thousand soldiers are constant
ly employed in the fortification* of Verona.”
ALGIERS.
Accounts from A glers are to the 6th of Sep
tember. They mention Ihe arrival ol the per
sons composing the commission sent by the
French government to inquire into the state of
the colonv. and lo report whether it was advisa
ble to retain it or not. It was stated that the com
missioner# had declared that it would be highly
dishonorable tor France to abandon its conquest,
and, besides that, public opinion was so decided
and so prom anted upon the subject, that no mi
nister would ventuie to propose it to the Cham
bers. The commissioners are said to have re
ma.neu silent on oeing pressed to slate wnemer
the ministry entertained similar opinions.
A mutiny had broken out at Oran; General
Desmichels having ordered a non commissioned
officer of the Regiment of African Chasseurs to
be punished, the whole corps issued en masse
from the barracks, protesting against the sen
tence, and by loice preventing the execution of
the order. The rappel was immediately beaten,
and all the troops of the garrison got under arms,
but this had not the effect of appealing the muti
neers, anti the General, fearing iiie consequence
of having recourse to strong mea-ures while the
men weie so infuriated, promised that the case
of the non-commissioned officer should lie atten
tively re examined, and by that means calmed
the insubordination
Strong reinforcements hail been sent from the
mountains into the town of Boujeiah. the mhabi
tuntw of vvhiffh were actively employed in strength
ening the fortific ations, and restoring the walls
of the old forts, which had been suffered to fall
into dccav.
TURKEY.
Advices from the Turkish capital are to the
26th of August. This devoted empire settms to
have escaped one scourge, only to become the
victim of another. Il has just obtained deliver
ance from a rebellious Pacha, and is now in jeo
pardy, pot less appalling, from domestic and
reckless incentliaiies. The following account
from Constantinople, under date of the 26th of
August, shews that the Sultan is beset with trou
bles on every aide:—
On the 19th there was another greaf fire at j
Azab Kubussi, near Galata. which destroyed j
above 300 houses The fire was to all appear-j
ance the work of incendiaries, as cooibustibles
were found concealed many other places.— !
Since then we have r-p.. ‘of a new conspiracy,
respecting which the Government has some de- 1
tails. How far (he statements rir< mated are j
true, must be left to time to show, bo; • is cer

From the Liverpool l ourier f September 25.
A Ship run down by a Steamer—On Sun
day morning abom 4 o’clock, the United King
dom, fion. Jamaica, lour hundred tons burthen,
was run foul of by the Queen of Scotland, an
Aberdeen seam-ship. oft Northfleet, nearGrave
lend, under the following extraordinary cirum ;
stances: It appears that the vessel was riding
it anchor, waiting to come up with the next i
tide, and about two hours alter flood the steam- >,
er, which was bound for Scotland, was seen
coming up at a rapid rate. The watch on deck of
the ship immediately hailed the conductor of
the steamer to keep their helm hard-a-port; and
[he words, “Helm-a-port!” were repeated two
>r three times, but whether through omappre*
tension, nr otherwise, were unheeded, and the
person who was steering the steamer kept his
telin a starbord, and bore down on the U. K., !'
ivhu h was struck on the larboard bow with such 1
orce, that her timbers were stove in, and the'
igure head of the Q of S. was carried sway by ; I
he violence of the shock, which caused the i
iteamet to rebound. The alarm was dreadful, i
is it was expected they would both go down.— > I
rhe steamer, however, received very little dam- 1 .
ige beyond the loss of her figure head, and was j 1
ble to pursue her voyage; Out the United King-: <
lom immediately began to fill with water, and ' I
here being no other means likely to prove avail*; I
ble to save the ship and the cargo, the crew i
tipped the cable, and ran heron the Essex shore, f
rhis was done with all possible expedition, but1r
hours afterwards went over on her beam ends, |
and on Wednesday morning nothing was visible
above water but her masts, and it is feared she
will prove a total wreck. She was laden with a va
luable cargo of sugar, rotn, coffee and logwood, a
great portion of which will be spoiled. Fortu
nately no lives were lost, but one of the seamen,
named Thomas Andrews, had a very narrow es
cape. He was in his hammock in the forecastle
when the ship was struck, and being unable to
find his way up the scuttle, got through the nole
in her side, then under water, and swam towards
the steamer. He was saved by a shipmate, who
cut the boat from her, and put off to Ins aid.*
Effects of the latk Isioiim —It i9 said

We understand that the Governor has appoint

The Election —The Counties we give the re

that Governor Lumpkin ha9 been re-elect.d by a

Scarcity of Money —The complaintB of the
scarcity ol mone\ are becoming daily more cla- I
moruti9. The distress is severe and general.—
The best of piper is thrown from the banks; and ;
the brokers readilv pet notes of the most unex- j
crptionable character at tiie highest rates. The j
results are not only visited upon the active bu»i- ;
ness men of the community, bu; reach all class
es and distress all callings T is scarcity is as
eribed to various causes, amt is probably the re
sult of several areidentaliv combined. The an
nual exhibit of Ihe Banks is one, perhaps the
principal, cause—this will shortly cease to ope
rate. Another is the removal of the deposits—
this must be more permanent in its influence.
There cannot, however, be much itoubi of ihc
removal, in a short 'ime. of the present extreme

missing for several days, hearing that the body )
of an unclaimed person was lying in the yard,
proceeded thither, and on being shown the corpse,
pronounced it to be that of his missing son He *

ker m the neighborl ood, and caused the body to 1

by me alilictcd family, who had in the meantime j *
bv’pn informed of what had occurred. Prepara- 1
tiotis wpre forthwith made for the funeral, and
invitations sent to the friends of the family to be
present on the occasion. In the course of yes
terday morning, however, an acquaintance who
was passing the house, and seeing the windows 1 '
closed, concluded to stop in and ascertain the I
cause. What was his astonishment on being in- !
formed by the affiicted parent that he had lost
his son, who was then lying dead in the house.
The friend exclaimed that this was impossible,
as he had seen the sun the day before alive and
hearty. The reader may readily imagine the
surprise of the father at such intelligence, who
was at first disposed to be incredulous, but on
being assured that if he would wait a short tune
bis son should be produced, his doubts began to
subside. The friend departed, and in a few mi
nutes returned with the real Simon Pure The i
joy and astonishment of the family can readily
