LONDON. THURSDAY, JULY 9. HE House of Loids have decided that the title II of Viscount (f iMiidison, claimed by Mr. Villiers .J«L Stuart, belongs to the Earl of Jersey. The title enables him to vote for one of the repre- sentative Peers for Ireland. Previous to the prorogation of Parliament, Lord Nugent gave notice of a hill to regulate the registra- tion of the births of children of dissenters, in conse- quence, as the noble lord observed, of tlie many incon- veniences experienced by persons of that class in estab- lishing their title by descent or bequest to property of their ancestors. PORTUGAL.—A proclamation and an order of the day have been issued by Count Villa Flor, the new -6-overnor of Terceira, on taking the coriiniwti(I of the garrison, in the name of Her Most Faithful Majesty. The gallant Governor writes with great confidence on his power of defending the island. The deel,stake which lie liits it] the undertaking, and the cei-tiiiiitv of a.terrible retribution if he fail, will ensure the most zealous discharge of his duty. His arrival is consider. ed an event of great importance, and was attended with no little danger, the gallant 'General having broken through the blockading- squadron in a small merchant vessel. The Lisbon Gazette of the 28th ult. contains an alvai-a, copied from the Oporto Courier, by which a great number of persons, accused of rebellion, are re- quired to appear w itbin two months to stand trial, witfi notification that if they do not appear they. will he condemned in default. The names of these unfortu- nate men fill more than a column, closely printed, of the Gazette. We have accounts in town from Lisbon, which state that Mr. Peel's speech had been received there, and given no satis action to any party. Don Miguel, it is said, is as much displeased with it as the liberals, and has dispatched couriers both to Madrid and Vienna, complaining ot the worthy secretary. New Yoi-ii papers last receive d give most (lis. astrous accounts of the state of trade, and the total Want of confidence which is beginning to manifest itself towards the various banking establishments throughout the United States, several of which have failed of late, to the serious injury of many industrious individuals. A church is now building- in Monrre-il of the following dimensions:-— Length, 560 feet; breadth, 150; height to the eaves, 100; surrounded by twenty-four towers: the two front ones being 210 feet high the pulpit window is 60 feet by 21. The probable expeifse of this immense structure is estimated at 500,000 dollars. We have not much intelligence of any kind from the theatre of war. The Russians are obliged to make sh )rter marches on account of the setting in of the hot Weather, and are therefore comparatively inactive, but they represent the taking of Orsova as an event of niucfj importance With respect to their operations against Silistria. They are collecting large quantities of corn m Moldavia, and putting the administration of that IJrinripality on a better footing in all its departments. On the other side, the Turkish governor of Bosnia is endeavouring to raise troops in the districts on the river Bosnia, and the Pacha of Widdin is moving on Orsova, with an extent to recover it if possible. The tJapitali Pachd is very active in the Black Sea, and S'e(rns to be rather successful in all his operations, The Russian frigate Raphael, which he took lately, bus already been employed against its original flag. By the Flanders mail this morning, we learn that large bodies of troops are marching to Adrianople, and every effort is making to reinforce the Grand Vi- and every effort is making to reinforce the Grand Vi- ll and recover the possession ofSizeboli. General Paskewitseh has been reinforced, ozi-at-cotini; we sup- pose, of an expectation of the renewal of hostilities with P-ersia. The Constantinople letters state that intelligence had reached there of the arrival of the French and En- glish ambassadors at V curIa. Thev confirm the ac- count of the liberation of 100 Russian saldiers,arrd six officers, by the Sultan, and that more were to be set tree. bd'
