Portugal. By an cxtact from a letter, written by a merchant at Su Ubcs, to Capt. Long of the brig Elizabeth arrived at Bos ton, wo learn that Portugal is at present under the domination ol two contending armies, one is in possession of Lisbon, and contends for a democratic constitution and ro publican principles; tho other outside of the city, striving for tho constitutional charter and monarchy. They have not as yet en gaged in martial strile; as another army was expected down lor the relict ol Lisbon Battle, however, was strougly anticipated Much sncculation was on foot as to which party maintained the strongest force. The lower orders took but little part or interest in the allair, with the exception ol those that belong to the national guard, and are compelled to serve. Pious New England usaces. A rcli gious, service was held a few days since at Mattapoisctts for the loss of the Caducous whale brig, which sailed thence with a crew of fifteen young men, (11 bclona'mc to Ro Chester) who loft there April 28, 1830, and have never since been heard ol. Most o the relatives of the youth were present, and deeply afllictcd by the sermon. It must have been a touching scene. IIYBIENIALr. MARRIED. On Thursday the 20tl hist, by the Rev. John P.

OF THE 1-einisylvaiiia Farmer, Jlnd Common School Intelligencer : A semi-monthly publicotion devoted to Agriculture Gardening, and the General Improvement of the Mind, published at Harrisburg, Ia. by Dekjamix Parke. Nothinc need be tcic7icc of agriculture, which being the great busi- nioa uj our country, me sure road to competency and the main source ofwcalth.liesatthe foundation of our national prosperity. The experience of every year, and especially of tho last few years, has shown that agriculture has been entirely too rr. n h neglected for the best good- of ouf country, 'i.Ji9 great desire of tho present ago for tho accumulation of wealth, and the prevailing spfrit to seek for it in a new and shorter course, than that pursued by bur ancestors, had led many .from the slow but certain means of agricultural labor, to tho more alluring employments of professional' life, and- commercial enterprise, or the s'.ill more hazardous- fields of speculation and adventure, ill which a few hsvo succeeded even beyond their ovh cxpiylaUo is. The result of this unnatural state of things has been what might very well have been predicted; a great scarcity of all. tho products of the soil, with such an enormous incieaso in the price, as to causo l.i ir importations from foreign countries, to the grr; impoverishing and discredit of our own. This folly and tlicp o 'ils have now become ap parent, and many of those, who, having been lurul by the examples and success of others or the pro' i.ct held out to their view, from the produciug to the consuming clas3, and being, disappointed in their ex pectations, aro now disposed and are making arrange- mums 10 return to mcnoncit, the healthful and tho independent employment of tilling tho noil whc.o they aro sure of being amply recompensed for their labor. Pennsylvania is emphatically an agricultural state, and has thus suffered less from tho lato fluctua tions and changes, which have embarrassed our country, than any of her sister states. Her soil is not surpassed by any in the world, and , her German and other citizens aro justly rjclebratoil. 05 being among the first farmers in the Union. It has thcro fore been considered peculiarly proper, that in tho heart of this garden of our country, an pgricuhural paper should be established, to gather up tho expel' ience of inltllient farmers from all quarters, and send it abroad, not only ever our commonwealth, but to every part of tho United States. For tho purpose of doinf; this, and supplying what has been considered a dcsiderqtu'm among the periodicals of our stales, the publisher has been induced and en couraged by numerous friends of agriculture and general improvement, to cstabllsh the, Pennsylvania Fanner. Ho has received assurances which, lead him confidently to expect that its' columns will bo enriched with contributions from souse of the most distinguished scientific and practical farmers and gardeners in our own, as well as some of our sister stales, which with extracts and republications of standard and new works upon the science of ugricut-r ture, will render it both interesting and useful to every farmer who desires to excel in his most lauda ble croploymcut. . , Pennsylvania has established and is now maturing n system of general education by common schools, which is intended to carry the blessings of knowledge to every man s home, and place within the reach of every child in the comnronwCalth, tho means of in struction and improvement This object is oil im portant, and our means being ample, it is confidently ' hoped that tho plan will continue to bo improved &, carried out, till theniinds of our citizens shall bo as highly cultivated as their fields, and the harvest of intellect be as rich and abundant as that gathered from the soil. Then shall Pennsylvania bo indeed tho Keystone of our .Union, bearing a polish not equalled by any slate pr kingdom in tho world- ., Tho events of tho last few months have shown that an increasing interest U felt in this department and therefore it cannot be doubted but that tho Common School Intelligencer, will bo welcomed as a co-laborer in so important q work, and being mado' tho vehicle of communication between tho friends of education, aid in the proper arranging and develop-, ing of the system1, and bo the means of doing much good. To tho advancement of these oljcclt, and to tho dissemination of useful scientific information calcu lated to expand the mind and improve tho heart, shall tho colum-s of the Pennsylvania Farmer and Common School Intelligencer, bo exclusively devot u, and it is confidently expected that a generous public will award to it a liberal support. The Farmer and Intelligencer will bo printed up on fine white paper and with new type, in royal quarto from, each number containing eight pages of matter. It will be commenced in tho month of November, or as soon as a sufficient number of sub scribers aro obtained to justify tho expense, and re-' gularly issued during the first ond third weeks of every month, at ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM payablo before tho issuing of tho sixth number. Any person who will procuro and forward ten rcs- ponsiblo subscribers shall receive a copy, or eleven papers will be sent to any one office for $10. Post masters and others friendly to tho objects arc requested to act as agents in obtaining subscri bers, and forward tho names to tho publisher on or before Iho first of November noxt. Harrisburg, Oclober 21, 1837. Sjegisiati-e Keystone. During the tnsuing scwon of the legislature, the Kcystono will be published twice a week, and con tain full fcports of the proceedings in both houses. It will also contain an account of tho proceedings of tho reform convention, which, (judging from similar bodies in other states and the convention that" formed our present constitution J, will hardly close its session before spring. - ; Tho political complexion of the legislature end tho important subject which will necessarily come before it, will render tho next session pcouliarly in teresting. All eyes arc turned this way for speedy reform in our present defective cunrency. Decided action relative to tho improvement system is ardently desired in many quarters. . These two matters of themselves, form subjects of intenso interest to the people at large. On tho 4th of March, a democratic convention will assemble hero and nominato a candidate for governor. An account of this, together with the preparatory movements of tho party in all quarters, will bo faithfully detailed. From those circumstan ces, thcro never was a timo when a a paper from tho seutof govctinentwill bo of such indispensable valuo to ull the citizens of the commonwealth, as for tho ensuing six months. Tho terms of the Keystone are the same as here tofore. During tho session semi weekly $8,00, For tho year 3,00 Any person forwarding us 32,00 riiall receive the' Keystone from the time of subscribing to the close of theiession or six copies wnttoany one office for S10.
