L3 TE S T INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, Tuesday, August 28.

The accounts we continue to receive from the country, confirm the most sanguine errpec- tations of an abundant harvest—Sun.

There is no Continental news of interest to- day. The report which was given in some of our contemporaries, that Don Miguel had left Lisbon at the head of 8000 men for Oporto, is entirely without foundation. Itis well known that the whole of the troops in Lisbon do not amount to more than that number. Upwards of200 horses and their equipments, and a quan- tity of arms, are now lying at Bordeaux ready to be shipped for Oporto. it is to be hoped that these seasonable reinforcement will prove of service to the Emperor.

The disturbances at Montpelier had not sub- sided on the 20th; the town Was stillin a great ferment. A female has been apprehended in the mountains of St. Ileranlt, under suspicion ofbeing the Duchess of BerrL—True Sun.

From the Plymouth Journal, Aug. 30.

The intelligence from Oporto we have given elsewhere at great length. We fear that Don Pedro is placed in a very perilous situation,and nothing but a miracle can save him and his lit- tle army from destruction, There can be no doubt of the ﬁrmness of Don Pedro’s troops, they are ﬁghting for a home, and it'dcfeated, perpetual exile is their doom; but what can valour do against such fearful odds? Don Pe- dro has been deceived—he has not received that support from the inhabitants which he ex- pected, audit is not to be wondered at when it is taken into consideration, the slavish Condi- tion of the peasantry whose feelings are deba- sed by a vile and detestable priesthood—But. as “'tbe battle is not always given to the strong, nor the race to the swift,” let us hope that the-good cause will yet be triumphant.

Intelligence has it is said been received at the Foreign Ofﬁce from St. Petersburgh ofa very unfavorable description. At an inter- view Lord Durham had with the Emperor re. lative to the poor unfortunate Poles, words ran high; the rage of the latter was unbounded, and he had even the temerity to insult this country by during it. Lord Durham it is said feeling indignant, snapped his ﬁngersin the tyrant’s face. We cannot believe for a mo- ment that Lord Durham could be so imprudent —it is nojustification because one man forgets himself that another should do the same. How- ever, whether true or not, we are afraid from the obstinate and cruel disposition of the infa- mous monster, that the Noble Lord’s interces- sion in behalfof Poland will not have the eﬂ'ect which was anticipated. If the Autocrat has had the audacity to treat this country with

contempt, we hepe, poor as we are, that there is spirit enough left to let him know that we could make his throne tremble to its very foundation for any insult offered to the British nation.

LORD DURHAM AND THE EMPEROR 0F RUSSIA.

The following is an extract of a letter from Berlin, dated the 11th lnst.:

“ We have news from St. Petersburgh which is not uninteresting, respecting the mission of Lord Durham. That nobleman has been received by the Emperor and his whole Court in the most ﬂattering manner : but the object of his mission will have no better success than that of the Duke de Mortemnrt, last year. There are details in circulation ofan interview which his Lord- ship is said to have had with the Emperor on the lst and 2nd of this month, which much resemble those which several journals published last September on the audience of leave of the Duke de Mortemart.— The subject was Poland; Lord Durham entered upon this with all possible delicacy, and almost begged the Emperor to change his policy with respect to that un- happy country. Nicholas listened to him at first with great kindness, and it was not until the English Am- bassador alleged the treaties of 1815 in their favour, that the Emperor's countenance suddenly became so. rious and gloomy. ‘ England and France alone,’ said the Emperor. ‘ should never dare to allege those trea- ties. You have violated and troddcn them under foot for the last two years. But for your far from honour. able conduct in the Netherlands. lniight certainly have listened to your intercession in favour of a nation which has cruelly insulted me, but which I. notwith- standing. still love and esteem. I had even conceived a grand idea to reconcile all this, and to place on solid foundations the peace of the world ; but the armed in_ tcrfeience in the month of August last, in the state of the King of the Netherlands, which you arranged and approvud, has changed every thing. I speak, my Lord, without animosity. [love and esteem your nation.— But I cannot allow you the right to claim and to vio- late at once the stipulations of the same Treaties as it suits your convenience. The French Government has a sacred obligation to fulﬁl towards my father-in-law, the King of Prussia ; it had obtained from that Sove- reign Prince a promise to refrain from assisting by arms his brother-in-law the King of the Netherlands ; but on the express condition that France should also re- frain from interfering. You know that many ties unite the King ofPrussia and King William; I myself, not- withstanding my attachment to my sister, the Princess of Orange. have sacriﬁced all my feelings to the desire to consolidate the general peace. The French Go- vernmcnt, notwithstanding, took advantage of the cm- barrassmcnt which the Polish revolution caused me to proceed to this intervention. Yet the right as well of Holland as of Belgium to break the armistice had been recognised; the intervention of the Conference of Lon. don was to be wholly amicable, even according to the positive wish of the French Government. You cannot, therefore, allege any excuse that [can allow of to jus- tify this armed intervention. and henceforth I shall consult only Ihe inteiest ofmy empire in regulating the affairs of Poland. without permitting the slightest for- eign intervention in this question.’

“ Lord Durham assured the Emperor that the armed intervention of France was conceived and executed by M. Perier, of his own accord ; that the English minis- try had expressed their dissatisfaction at it, but that the mischief having been done. there was no remedy.

“ It is further asserted that the grand idea which the Emperor mention: on this occasion, was to place

Prince Leopold or some German Prince on the throne of Poland, and to givo him his eldest daughter in marriage;Ruuia would have found a compensation in Moldavia, Wallachia, &c. Though political affairs are more complicated than ever. war is not thought of at present; first, the season is too far advanced; and then. inﬂuential persons are persuaded that the ﬁrst cannon shot would be the prelude to a general war. more terrible. perhaps, than that in the time of Napo- leon. it is therefore hoped to procrastinate till win. ter. and that some fortunate and unforeseen circum- stlnce may lead toa paciﬁc solution; at all events nothing will be done until the spring.”

A hundred and seventy men under the superinteu~ dcnce ofColonel Man. and Captain Davis left their rendezvous in “'estminster, on Friday, to join Don Pedro ; they go out in steamers. This was the second division that sailed last. week; many of them were farming men.

Don Pedro has 300 cavalry enlisted and equipped for him here within the last few days.

The Dublin Evening Post says “ Cholera. is de- clining in every part of lreland."

DEATH or Tin: REV. nn. ADAM CLARKE, at CHOLERA.

This well known and justly celebrated individual left his home at Eastcott, on Saturday last (Aug. 25) intending to preach an anniversary sermon at nys< water on the following day. Lodging at .the house of his friend .Mr. Hobbs, he was taken ill during the night, and early in the morning requested to be car- ried home. Achaise was accordingly procured. but, on its arrival he was so much worse as to be unable to. proceed.

Medical assistance was immediately called in, when strong symptoms of cholera was discovered; but al- though Dr. Wilson Phillips, T. Clark. Esq.. surgeon. R. N. [nephew of the deceased] and two others were in attendance, and the most powerful medicines were ad- ministered, all their efforts proved unavailing. He cohtinued to sink under the dreadful malady until hall‘- past three o'clock on Monday, when he breathed his
