SATURDAY, Two O'CLOCK.
We have received Lisbon Gazettes to the 27th ult.. They con- tain a statement of the acknowledgment of the authority of Don Miguel in the kingdom of Angola, and a long article on the repul- sion of the Portuguese Refugees by the British cruizers from the island of Terceira. The British Cabinet is of course much lauded for this ; and it is laid hold of as a demonstration of the hostility of our Ministers to the cause of Don Pedro, and their desire to culti- vate friendly relations with Miguel. German papers to the 8th current have just reached us. They pretend that there are grounds to hope for peace, from the deposi- tion of the Grand Vizier, who was at the head of the war party ; but it was only a few days ago that they told us he had been dis- graced because lie did not act with sufficient vigour against the Russians.
There is a report at the West end of the town, that the interview of Sir H. Halford (who is the friend as well as the medical adviser of an Illustrious Personage) with the Duke of Wellington yester- day, had reference to a " mysterious affair." Another report is that it was connected with the Catholic question. The address of the Corporation of Dublin was presented to the Duke of Northumberland on "Wednesday last. In his reply, the Duke said it was his fixed determination " to use the power and patronage of Government upon a piinciple of perfect impartiality, and to execute the law without the slightest reference to political or party considerations.' HALF-PAST Two. Sir H. Halford has had another long interview with the Duke of Wellington this morning at the Treasury.
