Private accounts from Lisbon of the 22d Oct. are not otherwise important than as expressing a general wish that Miguel's usurped authority should be superseded by the constitutional regime of Don Pedro. Tranquility prevailed after the late numerous executions, but discontent was very general, and trade in an utterly depressed state. The repair of the fortifications was going on.

It is said that the Lisbon mail, the letters by which were delivered yesterday, has brought the insignia of a Portuguese order, and an autograph letter from Don Miguel, as a mark of respect to the marquis of Londonderry, for the part which his lordship took in the recent debates in the house of lords on the affairs of Portugal.
