(Hear) . _ln his op i nion we hid been acting as though we were • with some phantasmagoria, and not a great nation like this; and although Sir Robert Peel's name might be handed dawn to posterity as • great minister, he still thought he was wrong, and whilst he gave him credit fey the purity of motives, he, for one, could not but look back with regret upon his resent acts; how long was it since the. 7 eaw him occupy the , highest position to which a sum could hold in the state, an overwhelming majority at his back in both Houses of Parliament, and now it might be fairly mid, " How are the mighty falku!" for his pact (he said) he regared the repeal of the Corn-laws as the ••reatest revolution that had ever taken place in the whole' history of the world. He believed that nothing would so completely bring back public opinioa as the unmitigated pressure of the Free trade system. Ile declared himself in favour of as high • rats of Custom Duties as could possibly be imposed and avowed himself in fainter of a property-tax, so that it was made to press upon the large capitalist and manufacturer, instead of the poor aaraitant or the individual who had a limited taconite depending upon his exertions. After some other observations on this head, Mr. Spooner sat down. The remaining toasts were the " Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," "Mr. Adderley, hi.P.," de. &c.—lt was morning before the company separated ; and It was Mug since such a day was teen in ColeshilL RUSSIA. By Express from Southampton we have accounts from"St.Petcrsburzh to the 29th u:t., brought to hand by the Amsterdam steamer. It appears that the recent relaxation of the duties imposed by the Ukase of the 19th June, 184-5, on F reach ships entering Russian ports has just been made in lime to meet the exigencies of coaunerce. On the departure of the Amsterdam, every French vessel that hid gone to Cromlech during the season had either sailed or was ready to sail; and ships belonging to other countries were eagerly taken up at advanaedfreights even for cargoes of the most common exports of the country, viz. hemp. The Dutch were buying nip large quantities of barley for transmission to Rolland, and this alone his cause , " every foreign - vessel to be 'eagerly so. It after at good freights. The de =anis coming from England for hemp have not been so active as they were at the some period last year; and this has given ,Tive to a supposition that eiders thence will very soon increase ind consequently the prices have been held rather high. She *she in this article for the present year, up to the latest day were, 1,132,591 pearls . against 1,460,221 pouds in 1845, iladtthe price is 86 to 87 'Roubles, according to quality. Russian Tallow has maintained a tolerably high price, and is much sought after. The Oukraino is already very rare, and brings 1191 to 120 roubles; and the K alomna, which is also becoming scarce, sells at 119. The ordinary Tallow forcandles, end of the first gaality, is worth 118 to 1181. The article that is brought from diberta is sold at 1171 to 118. That which is proper for the manufacture of soap has not risen from 107 to 168 S. The exportat:one of this article have experienced a considerable decrease each year since 1843. Thus, up to the 29th ultimo thee amounted to 40,478 barrels, while at the same period in 1845 they were 49,473, and in 1843 they were 51,394 . Flax is very scores, and the stock on hand is reduced to about 8:5,00 pounds. The prices hitherto paid have not exceeded 130 roubles for 12 'heads. 115 fur she 9 heads, and •105 for the 6 heals; but the holders are standing out for 6 rouble: the berkz more then those prices.

He said that the first difference with them arose on the queat;on of education ; and he differed with them on the subject of the infidel colleges bill, because the heads of the holy church, of which he was an unworthy member, disapproved of it, and he never attempted to dis agree with them, for he knew that they could not be wrong —and the propriety of the protest against that measure wee fully borne out by the news they had lately received from Rome. (Hear, hear.)" Such language is not less disgusting than the rhodomontade of The Nation. It has no tendency to cherish the spirit which alone deserves freedom, sr is capable of its enjoyment. If this abject ser vility belong, as Mr. O'CoNNELL's language tends to make it, to the ideal of Irish character, not only would Irish independence be the greatest of moral impossibilities ; not only would a prliament in College-Green be a vain form of freedom, driving the iron of vassalage deeper into the soul ; bat the quali fication of Ireland to act as a member of an empire with free institutions, would become most questionable. We demur to Mr. O'CONNELL, in this matter, as the in terpreter of Ireland, or of Irish Catholics. He, per haps unconsciously, misrepresents hia country to secure the support of the priesthood. Such tactics are very ill timed. At this very meeting Mr. O'CONNELL was calcu lating the millions required to feed Ireland. He coolly takes the amount of ten millions sterling, to be drawn from the British Treasury, as wanted for the next twelve months. He speaks of the " unlimited act" of which he expects ministers to avail them selves ; and of which we trust they will avail them selves, sooner than let any district of Ireland be deso lated by famine. But what is the great and perma nent work for which all good men arc wistfully looking to the present Ministry ? It is that of National Education. For that, most of all, do they require to have their hands strengthened. And what is the great peril to which the present Ministry and its friends are exposed ? It is the cry of undue favour to the Popish religion. We hear already of " Protestant alliances" in formation, or extension. And, much as we deprecate the bigotry manifested in some quarters, it cannot be denied that others have as good a right to assail Mr. O'CONNELL'S Popery as he has to brand Mr. MEAGHER with infidelity. The introduction of religion just now into Irish questions lies chiefly at Mr. 011n_NNELL's own door. The theological tiger was slumbering, and he has roused it irritatingly. The English friends of Ireland must abide the consequences when they meet their constituents. They will have to grapple with misrepresentations which he has done them the ill office of countenancing. This is an ungracious return for the liberal and unhesitating way in which they have laboured to provide for Irish wants. It is playing the game, and playing it unfairly, of the no-popery faction. It injures the cause of religious freedom and equality, to which we have been told, again and again, of the adhesion of the Irish Catho lic Church. And it imposes an arduous task on thorn who will not consent, either to compromise the politi cal, civil, and social rights of a Catholic people, or to admit the interference, and dictation even, of a Catho lic priesthood in concerns which are properly secular and national. They will steadily pursue that course ; but no thanks to him who, even while taking its advantages, multiplies its difficulties. WE yesterday recorded the occurrence of one of those fearful scenes of blood which from time to time force from us the exclamation, is this a civilised, a Christian land ? Why are our rural districts disgraced by acts at which the savage might shudder ? The only, the awful explanation to be given is, that it pleases the wealthy and educated landowners of this country to uphold, for their mere amusement, a system which leads inevitably to these bloody deeds. They talk of national education, of the religious and moral instruction of the humbler classes, and they practise game preserving, which has been proved to be the origin of more than half the crime, and of nearly all the bloodshed,committed in agricultural dis tricts. How long will the British people endure this? How long will the intelligent of the landed aristo cracy bear the odium thus brought upon their order by their unwise brethren ? The case we refer to will scarcely have escaped the reader's notice, but we mast re-state some of its circumstances. In Devonshire, near Newton Abbotta, sixteen miles from Exeter, on the Plymouth-road, lies liaccombe-house, with its wide domain, the property of Sir \V. P. CAREw, Bart., who now fills the office of High-Sheriff of the county. On Saturday night last the gamekeeper and the gardener of the High Sheriff were on the watch for pitchers, and having ascertained that some were is the grounds, they called six other persons to their aid, amongst whom were Mr. ROBERT RENDELL and WILLIAM SETTER. What occurred we give in the words of the- local report : s The.r p met in a field, called Blendfield, between I t and 12 at I gor, an d anrr ossided the place where the poachers were. Mr. New e ll an d s e tt e e went to the gate of Kiln Held, and whit's there heard the rest, tall out gate '—a signal previously arranged. They perceived wo V) one running towants them, with a gun in his hand, and ra t approaching within a few paces, dis covered it was one I bury Warren. They ran into the field, and Warren canard hi, , an cm if to fire. Mr. Itendell called out, you'd better not fire; but immediately Warren tired at Seller, and without taking Me • gun from Aia shoulder, discharged the other barrel at Mr. n, ,kn. The shot paned by the side of Mr. Rendell's head, but slue aim at Setter was more deadly he received the whole cos leant in his body, causing a wound two in c h. In length from wl . Isb the towels protruded, and from the effects of which the unbrtit Ws man li ng ered until a quarter past two on Sunday afternoon, w h • kie expired. On a yort.martem exa mination a number of small at ?hot were found in the liver. The „„ rireo „ a l, f oun d a pi ece of a, teased'. watch-chain, which had been carried into the wound. The p. ner was after . scuffle secured by Afr. 'leaden, and the next day ta be before H. Cartwright, Env, who (with the assistance of Mr. Rama 'as; baring taken the depositions of the various witness", and that of 'h dying man, committed him to take his trial at the nest 'mixes for r Sul murder, and also for shoot ing at Mr. ItendelL" Can anything more shocking • be conceived ? Here, in the slain or the slayer, are twos 'learns to the unnatural attempt to maintain, for the amm torrent of the rich, the sports of the forest and the wilder, legia in a peopled and cultivated country. When the deem.' was done, the in sane fury, possibly the desperation or fe., which had instigated it, passed away; and the wretched man, WARREN, who had attempted to kill are, and had taken the life of another, of his fell,. I y-creatures, came to his senses. " He said to Mr. REN ntr.l., when in custody, he was very sorry he had done and he wished his gun had broken in pieces when he j, t rst took it in his hand." What a natural, but, alas! expression of remorse. And what must be' the feelings of Sir W. CAREW on the occasion? Here: trC two human victims immolated, for perhaps three o.e four days of hattue shooting in a twelvemonth. Nor is this all. The owner of the preserve, in the protection of which these horrors have ha ppened, is the officer by whom the fearful sentence of the law will be executed on WARREN, should a jury of his countrymen find him guilty of murder. If not murder, whet is it ? yet the feeling of the working classes on Lhe subject is shown by the fact, stated in the report, that " there was some fear of a rescue by the navvies," so that it was not deemed prudent to send the criminal to Exeter gaol till the Monday. It might have been said that this sad affair was an isolated, extraordinary transaction, for which no blame can be imputed to any one but the miserable culprit ; but that pretence cannot now avail. It is shown, in the evidence taken before Mr. BRIGHT'S committee on the Game-laws, that these savage scenes are the necessary results of the modern system of game-preserving. An ignorant and ill-fed labourer, tempted by the apparent facility of killing some of the wild creatures called game, enters a preserve, knowing that if detected he will be subject to be punished by a code of singular harshness and severity; and when likely to be caught, the excitement of fear and resentment renders him a maniac or a savage. We shall refer to a few passages in that evidence in illustration. Some of them shall be from the evi dence of gaffe-preservers. Thus the Marquis of SALISBURY, who retains a large portion of his estates in Hertfordshire in a half-wilderness state, for the sake of preserving game, said, " I think a man is not justified in preserving game who does not employ a sufficient force to protect Now, there was no lack of "force" at Hacoombe ; yet eight game watchers against two poachers did not prevent blood shed. Possibly the very disparity of "force" caused it. Yet every game-preserver on a large scale, who was examined by the committee, insisted on the absolute necessity of an over-force of gamekeepers to protect game. The Earl of MALMESBUILY said, " I conceive that the reason of encounters is because there are not keepers enough; and I think gentlemen who preserve ought to make it a duty to hare a much stronger force than can possibly be sent against them. If they do that, there is uo great chance of a collision." His Lordship added that he kept more than THIR TEEN GAMEKEEPERS. The following is Lord SALISBURY'S account of his standing army of gamekeepers, extracted by Mr. BRIGHT'S cross-examination : What number of keepers and assistant-keepers and watchers for the preservatimi of gone have you upon those 4000 serest-1 have, I thin*, seven in regular employ, besi&s iny keepers, and my keepers have =limited power to take say number that they choose ; they have only one instruction —nerer to attack poachers with an inferior force. "How are they armed !—Wath blufteons, or common wicks. Ido not believe that they take out lire-arms ; but I do not iiiterfer e synch with thew. . . "Do you know that they never take out tire-arms !—No Ido not. "Do they mastiffs and does of a ICIVCiOUS character ! —Yu; I ALWAYS 12401.11:1Ati TllOl 10 DO 150." This is surely horrible. When such means are adopted by the nobles and born-legislators of the land, for the protection of that which nobody, from the peer to the poacher, regards as property—the pre servation of wild animals—is it surprising that the ignorant peasantry meet " force " by force, and enter into murderous conflicts with the gamekeepers? One more illustration, and that too from the game preser•ers' evidence, and we quit for the present this fearful source of rural crime. Mr. BROWNE, a solicitor, examined by Mr. Bainirr, had given an account of a conflict with poachers, which had some years ago occurred near Nottingham, and the gamekeepers concerned in it were afterwards called to discredit some of Mr. BROWN E'S statements. In fact they confirmed them, and, in so doing, they gave a description of the fight as graphic, as it is lamentable to have occurred in this country. This is from the evidence of the gamekeeper: Did you tee any poachers ! —Yes ; we met four, What happened then ! - I pursued them; I went in the face of them ; they were cowing in at one side of the held as we were coming in at the other, and we went to meet them ; and when I had gut within about thirty or thirty-tive yarda of them, they put their guns to their shoulders. I was the till“ man that was up with thent nearest them ; they told me to stand back, and one of them said, •' Let go." I said, " lou must not ;" I put my gun to my shoulder ; I aspectod shoe reery ,tomcat, and I begun to shout out as if I had another party very near. I told them to let the dog at liberty. What happened then!—'they turned round and ran away, and we followed them in pursuit, and they ran into a wood. What did you do then I—Asooou as they went into the wood, I sent one of the men of fur more help. What happened then'.—We kept going round the wood, and kept them in till daylight; and In the place where I was laid, I heard them owning up very near us. That is., you heard them moving in the wood !—Tes, as though they were owning right upon me • and I kneeled on the back of a bush, and laid my gun down, and t hought I would have the first man that made his appearance; but as soon as they saw the light out of the wood, as soon as they saw that they had got to the outside, they tamest back again. I beckoned to some of the men at a distance; I them that I would go in pursuit of them if they would remain, and one of the men made answer, ••• They will kill you before you will get up to them, lain sure." One of the men followed me in, and we had not gone lon yards before we heard them rush out. We followed in pur suit In the wood ; we did not we them in the wood, but, we followed them in pursuit, according to the rush we heard ; the wood was very thick, and in about live minutes I heard a gun fired. I was afraid one of our men was shot, and I made up to the place, and I saw him lying there. Who was that I—Thomas Dribble. I saw him lying bleeding, with his thigh nearly shot off. What did you do then out my handkerchief, and bound It round to prevent his b to death, and pulled my coot elf, and put it under him ; the ground was wet. At that time bad you your gun in your hand !—Tes ; when I picked him it nN I laid my gun down beside him ; I laid the gun down, and left be _ _ _ What did you do then I—l ran off home ss quick as I could. Be fore I left him five minutes I beard another gun fired ; 1 was afraid there was another man shot, but I made all the haste I could, and got help, and alarmed the village, and quantifier came, all that could, I dare say, with different sotto of weapons; then I went in pursuit of the men. __— As you were going tack, did you meet any other man wounded ? Yen ; I had forgotten that ; when I had made the alarm in toe town, the other man came up that went in with me, and he maid, " 1 hope t,,ey hove not shot you; look at my hand, they have allot it neariy oft ; will you cut it off ! cannot live with it so ;" and I wad, 1 dare not do anything of the sort ; you must go to a doctor ; I must go back to Thomas Drabble, as you arc nearly at hotne ;" and I left him, and went back in pursuit of the others. When you went back in pursuit of the others, what was the next thing you saw!—The next thing was that we could not find them to our expectation, the wood being thick, and I told the men to look in the trees ; I thought we had mialiect them; there Is a deal of ivy in our oaks, and I told the men to look well in the ivy of the oak trees, and in doing that they found the men. And all this ferocity is excited for the sake of the most puerile amusement in which a full-grown man can indulge, battue-shooting ! We have received by our usual express the Paris journals of Tuesday. The Minister of Public Works has left Paris for England. During his absence the busite sof his department will be conducted by the Minister of all work, the Comte de Salvandy. Grand manoeuvres took place on the 4th instant at Strasburg, in the presence of the Duke of Montpen sier and the Princes, his guests. They were favoured by most magnificent weather. On the following day a bridge was to be thrown over the Rhine, by the regiment of engineers. The Paris savings' bank has received during the week ending Monday, 7th inst., 731,687 fr., the sums withdrawn being 685,931 fr. A free trade association is in course of formation at Marseilles. The Minister of War, it is said, foresees the neces sity of having an extraordinary grant of 25 millions of francs for the French army in Africa. In Algeria and the South of France the harvests will be but indifferent; barleys and potatoes particularly defi cient. This failure does not amount to a famine, but will render it necessary that there be a larger expen diture for the troops. General Narvacz has left Paris for Madrid. . _ France is to provide everything fur the two royal brides of Madrid. Countess Breason is very busy making purchases in Paris. The Queen of the French, it is said, will send magnificent presents. It appears that the arrangements which were lately alluded to in a letter from one of our correspondents, relating to a change of proprietary of the Comilla tionnel, experience some difficulties in their conclu sion. The meeting of the shareholders is postponed from the 12th instant to the 12th of October. It is reported that the fair negotiatrix, the Countess Lehon, had engaged her brother, M. Mosselmann, without his previous consent, and that this gentle man declines assuming the direction of the paper. Thus, it is likely that the Constataionnel will remain the organ of the opposition, to the great disappoint ment of the ministerial party. A very great impulse has been lately given to the Paris Bourse, and a considerable rise has taken place in every description of security, but in consequence of a rumour in circulation in Paris on Tuesday that the French government had received a protest from the English cabinet against the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier with the Infanta of Spain, business experienced a check. One of the prisoners of the Deira of Abd-el-Kader, laved from the general massacre which took place l a tely, is just arrived from Tlemcen. His name is D e .lpech ; he was made prisoner on the 23d of Sept., and ,-eached the outpost of Laila Maghrnid on the 2 n d o 1 August. His account of the murder of the prisoner.- tallies in every detail with that previously given by Rolland. Our letters and journals from Madrid are to the 3rd inst. It is stated that the Queen intends to restore Do, Francisco d'Assisc to the ran k o f Captain cGeedinnegmlreo Army, which he held end er th e pre it; The news of her Majesty' s m was reported to NaVe given much satisfaction i al iM provinces. El Tiempo contains t long article in reference to the union of the Infanta end the Duc de Montpensier, and sums up, like the Espi.'4 ol , by protesting against its legality, on the grounds o! the renunciation by the Utrecht 'treaty - of 1712, and t. 418 97th article of the constitution. One advantage for Spain is at least expected from the Queen's mamage, and that is that the Queen Mother Christina will return to Paris. A letter from the frontiers of Portugal, dated the 29th ult., in El Espanol, contains as follows : " Whilst we thought everything was ended, a strong guerilla party has suddenly appeared in the province • .'"liiiie's - ..• .. . .... r quz , EXPRESS THURSDI PENING, SEPTMER 10, 1846. sr 4'- . • 4. 7 - A -:::- -- •• - .

RIVER Puger..—By a merchant vessel at Liverpool amounts from Monte Video have been received to the 30th of June, and from Be Met Ayres to the 27th. The exchange at the latter pion ruletat 2d., with a &dining tendency. Affairs, both p • od commercial, are reported in private letters to be withoet material alteraiin. Prom Monte Wdeo teeth suceesees of Mena are an nounced. They would seem to amount only to the sort of Montonero or Guerilla warfare n which that chief is known to be ao 'killed. Repute arere Mall current that the governors of Con:antes and Marano*. two prerinces of the Argentine confederacy, bad nealeseed, and agreed upon separating hem, tied independence of, Buenos Ayres, and it was evea said, that the Trench and British ministers had dispetehed an agent to sound. their inclinations, and invite them to an union with . Monte Video, as the intention attributed to them was that of remaining neutral. On tie other hand, loners received from Monte Video by a reapectable house in the city state it as a report which obtained credit, that trquiza, the Governor of Entrerios, was actually on his march, and had crowed the Uruguay to attack Rivera, his old opponent, whom he ranted so derisively a year ago or more at the famous battle of India Muerte- A little time must decide between these conflicting statements. It was rumoured in Monte Video that another convey would be ap pointed for the Parana, but from the little success of the aeventurers in their late expedition it was not supposed they would be induced to try a similar speculation with any number of vessels, and commanders of the British and French squadrons would refuse an escort of war-steamers in i‘olated cases, or where a few trading Teasels only were so I destined. Huff--peat Two o'Clock.—The funds hace been without movement all morning, and transactions are apparently suspended until it can be ascertained whether the Bank Directors at their Board meeting shall take any action in the direction of an alteration in the minimum rate of interest, as was cur rently reported yesterday and noticed under this head. Consols opened at 96 to 1 for money, and 961 to 1 for time, and so continue Exchequer bills lls. to 15s. premium. The foreign market is entirely inactive, and the quotations for the more speculative stacks little more than nominal. Mexican 254 01. Spanish rather lower, the lives 261 to 7, the threes 38 to 4. Portuguese 41 to Three o'C'ork.—No notice has yet appeared at the Bank, nor is it expected now that one will issue. The Directors, we learn, met at the usual time, but sepu rated an hour earlier than usual, from which it may be inferred that the question of the interest was not even mooted. This is no more than was anticipated in well informed quarters. The funds, both home and foreign, are without alteration, as quoted in the lies below. ENGLISH FUNDS. tot Stock, 3 NT Ct.

THE difficulties of Mr. O'CoNNELL's position are undoubtedly great. They task the powers even of so masterly a tactician. He has hard work to secure his own ascendancy in all its absoluteness ; to keep down Young Ireland; and to combine his repeal pledges with the support of a Government which assuredly will never concede repeal. In aiming at all these objects, it is not strange, however much to be lamented, that he should forget or disregard the effect of his speeches and proceedings, and those of his followers, on the people of England. Yet Mr. O'CONNELL ought not to forget that England has a people as well as a government. He should remember that if the present Administration is prepared to go all lengths in abating the horrors of famine in Ireland, they do it at the ex pense of those wha have their own millions to relieve, and the money comes from multitudes who by no means find their own country a land flowing with milk and honey. He should bear in mind that, if Ireland be Homan Catholic, Great Britain is Pro testant. He should calculate the damage that may be done by reaction to the Ministry he aims at strengthening, sad in whose good intentions he pro fesses unbounded confidence. We regret that his course should needlessly tend to embarrass the best friends of Ireland in this country, and put advantages in the way of the enemies of civil and religions liberty of which they will not be slow to avail themselves. The Catholic clergy address Mr. O'CONNELL in terms of unlimited confidence, which he repays by expressions of unlimited reverence and obe dience. This is all very well, if sincere which we do not call into question, so far as it relates to their politics and his piety. But in telligent and patriotic Catholics have never been willing to invest the priesthood, as a body, with the absolute control of national education. The only result must be that, not of a devout, but of a priest ridden population. To a certain extent, education must necessarily be a secular concern ; the business of laymen and statesmen, not of ecclesiastics. The Pro testants of England demur, and rightly, to the claims sometimes urged by their own clergy. They draw . . . . the line between the secular and tie spiritual ; and say, as the child with the porridge said to the serpet. " Keep to your own side, speckled-belly." But the 1 . minutes of Conciliation Hallrecord a step beyond that of the control of education by a national priesthood. They intimate that recognised interference of the Roman Conclave which is offensive, not merely to Protestant feeling, bat to all genuine nationality. We refer to the 4th resolution " unanimously adopted in the Clogher, Enniskillen, Clones, and Monaghan districts, by the clergy assembled in conference, the bishop presiding : " 4. itesolved unanimously—That, notwithstanding our anxiety t:ir the diffusion of knowledge, we can never give our co-ope:ation and support to any system of education in tended for our people, in which the authority of their pastors will net be fully recognised, and that no system of education can or ought to give confidence and satisfaction to the Catholic people of Ireland, which will not be based on Catholic principles and placed under Catholic control. " C. M'Navx.v, Felicia MAOUIHE, Bee." Is Geology to be " based on Catholic principles?" Is the Newtonian System to be "placed under Catho lic control ? " Must the " authority of their pastors" over Science and History, be "fully recognised?" If Catholic Ireland will only consent to be educated on this principle, we trust never to see one shilling of British money applied to such a purpose. But there is an appendix to these resolutions. The priesthood is lady-like, and tells the most important particular in a postcript : "Besides the subjects comprised in our resolutions, some matters of the utmost importance regarding the national system of education engaged our most serious attention at our meetings; and, altheug.h is obedience to tite instructions of the Sacred Congregation, we abstain from publishing any resolution or discussion thereon, it may be right to state, that it is the unanimous prayer of the clergy that the arch bishops and bishops of Ireland would, at their next general meeting, take the whole subject into their consideration, with the view of enforcing the conditions and recommenda tions on which the national system of education has been tolerated by the Holy See." Education in Ireland, as " tolerated by the Holy Bee !" Why, this is no question of Catholic or Pro teetant. Our forefathers were as religiously Romish as the Mali; and they would have told Romo to mind its own bub - tiess on such a question. They would, supposing the collision could have occurred in their days, have upheld Ott Deminie's cap against the tame, of Tras-os-Montes, near Braga, and whichZi, the direction of Montealegre. A party of tb s of Chaves has marched against these p en t repulsed them with slight loss. It is said forces are in march against them. Theis announce their intention not to proclaim Dij but Donna Maria da Gloria, with the gove hi Don Juan VI. Bands of robbers are for m j a quarters, and anarchy reigns throughout Montag, if not in many other parts."
