^eUctisng, The following is an extract of a letter received hy: the Ilussar triga'te. Lisbon-, Oct.- 3 ships which left Englalld with sealed orders, have, as wlsdghtly conjectured, anchored here. The reasons for our Government assem- bling a squadron in the Tagus must have been from a friendly attachment to the good fid King of Portugal and his family, who, from the violence pf the political parties, may again need such a sue(-our.- The present government ire greatly mor- tified at the ioss of the Brazils. General Maderia and Commodore Perevin- de Compos, were put under arrest, soon after their arrival at Bahia. It is alleged that the General ought not to have eva- cuated the country. The ships of war here art—Revenge, 78, Vice-Admiral Sir H. B. Neale, G C. -'B., Seringa pat am, 46, S. War 1e it, G. B., Active, 40, Capt. A, King 46, C..pt. George Havris, C. B. and the Naiad, 46, Capt. Hon. U. C S peircer. King John was invested about a week since with the splendid decorations of the order of the Garter, and two or three days previous, with the French lfoly Order. The French conducted theirs in a very bad taste, whilst our's was accompanied with every appearance ot state and solemnity the caterer to the dignity of King, Sir George N,ityler could suggest. -On the arrival of the cortege in the King's presence, a neat and appropriate speech was made by our Ambassador, Sir G. Thornton, tracing the history of the order, and the con- nexions which King John's ancestors had with its early installation, the exalted characters who have been invested with it and the honour he was about to con- fer, and to receive, hy its acceptance — The whole went oil" with indescribable eclat. If the French Government in- tended by their sh<n$to run a race for po- litical ascendancy at this Court, with us, they havf- it is believed "ot isocceede(l. n The King of Portugal was seen on the following day with the garter tied round a pair of old t;owsers. P. S.—1 under- stand the Revenge is to go on to he Me- diterranean, and that the liochefort is to call here, on her way from the Mediter- ranean. The Hussar-goes to Plymouth and returns." jPortsmouth, Oct. 25 — Yesterday, the Ganges, 84, was ordered to be completed to her war complement (700 men,) and proceed out of the harbour. She was accordingly ruily manned this day, from the Queen Charlotte- and Albion, and in a few days she will be ready to proceed to sea. It is understood that sn", tSCgoing on an experimental cruiill the Atlautic, to ascertain the qn;ditips ofa round-stern line-of-uallle ship. bet that shéalld the Gs-noa, 74,.Sir Thomas Livingstone, Bart, which is put into MyrhOuth, will previ- ously take the 7th, regiment to the West Indies. The 42d ^nd 77th regiments, it is understood, are also to be sent out as a reinforcement to the troops in the West India Islands. On Sunday last the Thetis, 46, Sir J. philiimore, sailed from Plymouth for Mexico, with Mr. Lionet Harvey, and Mr. Ward, Commisioners; Mr. O'Gor- man, Consul-General, at that place; Mr. C. Mackenzie, Consul at Vera Cruz; and Mr. P. Stanley, Consul at Acapuleo. The following Commisaioneisattd Con- suls to the Free States of Sourh America, embarked this day in the Isis (which will sail to-in(,Yi-ow) :Coloilel ,I.I:tmitton and Colonel Patrick Campbell, Commission- ers to the Colombian States; Mr. Hen- derson, Cousul-General at Bogota Mr. T. Tupper, Consul at La Guuyra Mr. II. Sutherland, Cousul at Maracaibo Mr Ma cgrigor, Consul at Panama Mr. Watts, Consul at Carthagena. Agriculture, #c.—Tlre Bank is pro- ceeding with its advances to country gentlemen, with a promptitude that does it credit. Although this ui-a-ure will save the latter one pound in fi-vi- (-.it the alillual sum 'hey may have tf) pay on their respective mortgages, we doubt whether it will much avail theii suffering tenantry. Did they pay norellt at all oil lands of (i moderate quahfu. the pre- sent prices would barely dtfri) expenses, and leave a subsistence for Muur families. Whoever is r.t all conversant with agri- culture, and he -various chang"* attend- ant on iI, must he aware that (is. per bushel must be a losing price for wheat. Take England throughout, 2' it,, Is per acre is more than an average crop; and where two vears' rent, and payments are to be made (which is the case on all those lands where summert;iIiow.is ne- cessary,) the sum of EC) 12s. will not more thitll cover the necessary charges. The last week has been invaluable to the occupiers of strong land, aft, the late heavy rains, nothing but the fi e weather we have experienc d could, hav.* got their fallows into that healthy stale in which they have now been !>n ared to receive the seed.

The articles contained in the very curious Wardrobe /jvcannt of King Edward I., pulílished, by the Antiquarian Society, seem rather U> re- late to the extraordinary expenses and prepara- tions of that Prince for war in Scotland, and to what we should properly call the expenses-o-f the Household.

Opposite to this manu- factory dwelt a superannuated Admiral, who was supposed not to have, been in his best righting; humour, on some important occasion at sea.- He was a witness in the cause, and having al* ready declared upon oath that the stench of the works -ras intolerable, he was required to say. what this intolerable smell resembled.

Kstrnct of a letter fro(ii a gentleman of reo spectability, dated York, August 13, 1823:- John Mawri, living near the Hiimber, had a favourite dog, which for some days was observed to grow sickly, his body swelled by degrees, and at iast he refused all kinds of food. The swel- ling increased, and something appeared to be continually moving in his inside. fit a few days after the dog died, and was opened in the pre- sence of several persons, whose verticil JI have no reason to doubt. Within the body were found sir large snakes alive, from four to six feet in length, and part of an old one, which had grown 10 an uncommon size; about one haif of the latter, was in a stale of putrefaction. I am also assured that they collected from the dog's en- trails as many f"cs in a mass, as would have fil- led the crown of a hat. The live snakes, which resetnbied long pieces of flesh, did not attempt to escape, hut twisted themselves together, and so killed. I much regret that I was wit on the spotj or I tttight t'atf given you a more ac- f'nrate statement « so much, however, for the matter of fact, which I nVay attract the at- ftnfion of the curious, and he the means of-call- ing forth some observations of naiuralisl<, on <h! nt'ist <.nh)<f of reptiles, the snake. How the "id one entered the dog I leave for elucidation^ as I must confess that a circumstance so peculiar b illies all ciinpctnre on my own part."

THE French Journals of Friday wese received yesterday at the Post O.,Iice.- It appears from the intelligence which they bring from Spain, that Ferdinand continued at Seville on the 13th intantp On the 9ch) he issued a decree, oid,,ii I'I '> ing that "a funeral service shall be.ee- lebrated in ail the churches of the mo- narchy for the repose of the souls of those who, aVnc« tho 7«.K of 1810, tied in support of God's cause and fniuc. On the 11th, the following decree wM promulgated:— "RQYAL DECEE. u Seville, October, l'l. One of the greatest evils occasioned by the Revolution has been the bad di- rection given to youth, in preparing tfeetlH by the reading of pernicious works" writ- ten with so much art, that those who have received in their infancy impressions of religion and honour, forget them it} their riper age, to become the co-operators of the Revolution, which now attacks the human race. To stop in time the, lyro- gress of this plan of iniquity, which claims justly my first attention, I resolved that there should be formed a Junta, which I shall ta ke from among persons who have followed different careers and different branches of study, but whose principle shall be Christian and Monarchical—who shall be known by their science, their prudence, and their fidelity to my per- ) son—who, under your Presidency, shall proceed from henceforward to examine all thu known works, and determine on those which they think proper for forming men fit for being the worthy supports of the altar, and the throne of the country.—On receiving this, you will take proper steps for its with the Royal {.j hand. • S

VICTORSARZ Other decrees are also said to have »•>' beep issued by him—one granting an amnesty, but with numerous exceptions of the Constitutional leaders; and an. other for convening the ancient Cortes of the. kingdom. The authority for this in- telligence is however doubtful. The second corps of the French army" commanded by, Molitor, is stated to be out 'ts match from Granada and Murcra to M'aionia. The French hope that Bar- CeIona, rl arragona, and Hostalrich will surrender before the arrivalofthis for- midable reinforcement; but there are no accounts in these papers tojustify those hopes.—The Governor of the Seo d'Urgel eo hasjrefused to surrender the fort on the terms granted to Figueras. Batteries were erected on the night of the 11th, and the next day the Spaniards made a sortie to destroy them, but were repulsed. The batteries were to open their fire 00 the 14th. It is said that the Duke d'Ao- gouleme will proceed to Catalonia. The French army is marching towards Madrid. They passed through Cordova on the 15th inst. Cadiz is to have a 8 umnn t>f 8000 men, un.der Couut Bour- tuontlarifa, Algesiras, and Isia Verde,. are also to be garrisoned.

Ferdinand has givefi, Grand Crosses of bè Order of Charles fit. to Villele, Chateaubriand, Victor, the Ambassadors of the Holy Alliance, and several other persons. It is asserted from Madrid, that the Deputies of the Cortes have embarked in a frigate for America. It does not ap- pear that they have reached Gibraltar.— Lisbon was illuminated, on the news be. ing received of Ferdinand's liberation. The accounts from Galicia seem to in- dicate some fermentation in the Province Moiillo, it appears, desires to abide by the conditions which he made with the French Generals, and which are not fa- vourable to the cause of absolute power. A number of French prisoners have just arrived, that is, individuals who are con- demned, and are sent to France to un- dergo their punishment, There are also many >vomeu who are sent back to France-
