urn a trustworthy correspondent ut Lisbon, having excellent etaTect information,
have reached us. First, we shall • tact fro-.t one so far buck as the I3th September— sat if the et:cash:1i requires ; but, tmhappily, the Admiral has uo;, r to do and we are fated to find ourselves despised and hated rognese in the country. So much for Lord Palmerston's diplu- , Lord 1 l.:ward de NI ahlen', indifference to British interests and :..•mur. Ile appears to be a most selfish person, bent on saving as he never has any public receptions whatever, and never asks the the fleet to his table, and sees not a soul but the Admiral and ,.•eglisl. merchaLts, who bring him such news as suits their interests , • ,„ Lich lie completely relies. Thus he is always in the dark ; and, as • y truly s ty here, knows less of public events than any other man :u Lisbon. this he is paid sore four or five thousand a year—for bringing England into cev!empt and hatred. The Admiral only speaks well of his Lo: dship—and he lives with him."
From nnother letter, doted 29th September-
'. I have no news to tell you, except that the Court party are going to tl:e Des il here ; and to the Devil they will be sure all to go,—and we trial them, 1 inr,gine, if we don't get a new Ambas.allor very stun ; fur he appears to be a peliect tool in the hands of a clique at iund the Court, and is despised by all the English residents here, as well as by all the thinking part of the Poem. geese nation."
