Latest FROM PORTUGAL. Brig Braganza, from St. Ubes, arrived at this port yesterday. Capt. Green informs that it was reported at St. Ubes, that the Portuguese fleet, captured by the French squadron, had been given up by them to Don Pedro, ex-Emperor of Brazil, and that he was at Brest, France, refitting the ships, when it was supposed an attempt would be made to put down Don Miguel, and revolutionize the country, for which the people were ready, and it was supposed at St. Ubes, that the day was not far distant. The people were reduced to such a state of distress and vassalage, that any change of government could not be for the worse. Capt. Green states that it was seldom that a decent looking man was to be seen in the street. As every one having the appearance of a gentleman, was arrested by the minions of Don Miguel and imprisoned. The Braganza left St. Ubes on Sept. 9th.
