(FROM NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER.) Portugal. The king of Portugal has sent a circular to all his ministers and consuls, stating that he was resolved to give, as he had promised, a constitution to his subjects suited to the illumination of the age and the habits of the Portuguese. The expedition against the Brazils was abandoned. The queen has given a grand ball present at which were nearly 300 of her and her son's friends. It is said this fete was given to brave the authority of the government. On the day following all those persons who were present were temporarily exiled from Lisbon.

Brazil. The political affairs of Brazil are in a very unsettled state. The old Portuguese residents of the Brazils have all concentered at Rio. and appear to have considerable influence with the emperor. All the northern provinces, from the Amazon to Bahia, were hostile to him and would not acknowledge his new constitution. He has secured the navy, and confidenre of the army, which he has about him, consisting of about 7000 regular troops, mostly black. He keeps them well clothed and regularly paid. On the 26th July an embargo was laid on all the shipping in the port of Rio de Janeiro; and on the 3d of August an expedition sailed, consisting of one 74 and four other vessels of war, with a number of transports, having on board 2000 troops, under the orders of gen Lima; and the squadron under the command of lord Cocbrane, who has consented to take command of the Brazilian squadron, with an understanding that he is to return to Chili whenever his services may be wanted. Its object is to make a landing near Pernambuco. The British sloop of war Swiftsure, arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 7th of August, from England, with specie on account of the new loan to Brazil. It was said she had on board 300,000. sterling. Colombia. Caracas papers recently

received state that the troops concentrated at Porto Cavcllo, destined to aid Bolivar in Peru, amounting to nearly four thousand men. had sailed from the port for Chagres. In order to encourage agriculture, the national congress has passed a decree exempting every, plantation of cocoa, coffee and indigo from the payment of tythes for a certain period. A law has been passed by congress, and ratified by the executive, directing the establishment of special tribunals of commerce, which are to have cognizance of all disputes relative to commercial transactions, and to be composed of four merchants, chosen according to certain forms therein detailed, who, with the alcade as president, are to deride all causes brought before them, without appeal, provided the sum in dispute should not exceed 500 dollars: above that sum the people have the right of appealing to the superior court of the district A decree has also been published declaring the coat of the Mosquito shore, as far as cape Gracies a Dios, an integral part of the territory of Colombia.

Foreign Intelligence.

LONDON, August 17. From the correspondent of the Courier. CADIS, July 27 - "I think it necessary to inform you that on Saturday last, a French squadron arrived here, under the command of a vice admiral, amounting to six frigates and a line of battle ship, and on Sunday morning they were joined by the squadron under the command of the rear admiral, whose flag has been hoisted here some months since, on board the Sante Petri. They remained at anchor the whole of Sunday, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, they weighed anchor, and steered westward. The poor Spaniards were surprised to sec such a large French fleet before their celebrated and once renowned city, and they could not be persuaded, but that England was going to declare war against France. "It is said this quadron is going to Toulon, to be inspected by the minister of marine, but many believe they have seal-ed-orders, and that their ulterior destination is not yet known "There yet remain in the bay of Cadiz 3 frigates, and several smaller vessels "The ships which arrived on Saturday were very busy on Sunday and Monday buying provisions, which induced many to suppose that Toulon was not to be the place of rendezvous. Extract of a letter, dated, Trieste, July 28 - "The island of Ipsara, a little N. W. of Scio, has been attacked and taken by the Turks, after a desperate resistance, which cost them 1500 men. The Ipsariots resolving not to share the fate of the Sciotes, assembled the remaining population in the fort, and blew themselves up, involving multitudes of their conquerors in their destruction." The island of Ipsara, which the Turkish commander has obtained at such an expense of men and money, is not 5 miles long, and scarcely, any where two miles broad, being very little, if at all, larger than the island of Lundv, in the Bristol channel The 14,000 men. by whom this little island was invaded, would if drawn

up in the usual parade order, extend in a double line drawn from one end of it to the other. The ships which conveyed these men were 80 in number, and they were enough to have surrounded the island with a continued chan, at an interval Of 200 yards from each other. To refer to military superiority tho conquest of this little island (defended only by its inhabitants) by a naval and military force such as we have described, were manifestly ridiculous Such an island, so circumstanced, could make no effectual defence, and the length to which it protracted its resistance, ought to be in the highest degree, encouraging to the

friends of freedom NEW YORK September 28. An Amsterdam paper of August 13, contains a report that a Greek squadron defeated the Turkish fleet after the fail of Ipsara; and states that the affairs in other parts were favorable to the Greeks Under the head of, Constantinople, July 15, is given a Turkish half official account of the taking of Ipsara. The Turks had two ships of the line, six frigates, 10 corvettes, some smaller vessels, besides transports. The captain Pacha states, that he had made himself well acquainted with the situation and strength of the Greeks, &c. - and that the slaughter of the latter became so great, that he gave orders to spare non-combatants, and even offered a reward for every such one made prisoner; but the fury of the troops could

not be restrained. The Turks had 14000 men - the account makes no mention of the Greeks having blown themselves up - a fortified cloister made a desperato resistance. The seat of the Grecian government is fixed at Napoli de Romani. The Turks from Negropont had effected a landing on the neighboring coast, and penetrated as far as Athens, but failed in getting possession ot the citadel. Omer Pacha, who commands the Turkish troops in Western Greece, is suspected of treason, and remains in the state of inactivity The king of Spain has again disavowed all negotiations of constitutional commissioners, tending to the iedependenco of South America. Spain. The occurrences at Madrid, alluded to in our last, appear to have been of a very serious nature. According to the Paris accounts, a pitched battle was fought, in which a considerable number of French and Spanish soldiers were killed and wounded. The utmost rage is said to prevail at Madrid against the invaders; the servile did not conceal their hostile feelings Placards, denouncing death to the French were posted on the walls, and horrible excesses were committed in the provinces by the royalists volunteers, whom he French general had resolved to get disbanded Desertion among the new levies also prevailed to an extraordinary extent. One thousand have deserted from Badojos and run into Portugal, where they were well received. French troops have been despatched in all haste to Obiedo, to quell a very serious disturbance that had taken place between the Negros and the Blancos Gen. Don Juan Martin, alias El Empecinado, had been liberated from prison at Roda. where he was confined in an iron cage, by a detachment of troops who arrived in that town with a forged order from the government to deliver the prisoner to them. The banditti were increasing in every direction throughout the interior of Spain, so as to make it almost impossible to journey on any of the public roads with safety. A strong force had been sent out from Tolledo against a band in one of the mountains near that place, but was defeated, and returned with sixteen wounded Portugal. .The Portuguese ambassador at London has officially announced to the British minister, that it was no longer necessary that aid should be sent from England to keep his wife, son and dutiful subjects in sub-jection. Turkey and Greece A letter from Zante, of the 21st June, states that an act of treason had occurred at Missolonghi. which, at one time, threatened the most dangerous consequences It appears that Caralcystos, one of the governors of the city, had agreed to deliver it up to Jussuf pacha, who was to march 3000 Turks towards the fortress The correspondence containing this plot was seized bv a post of Greeks and forwarded to prince Mavrocordato, ho took measures to prevent its execution.
