f oug ht en the ttb instant, stt tbt bridges of Prado and Boa 1 where the rebels. perhaps, thought they could we st, at least for a time, the hot pursuit of their a dversaries ; and the consequence of this pi esu nap woo s calculation was a re it loss ih prisoners and cannon on their side. We await the details with the greater ,patience, as . we know nothing of the subsequent movements of the rebels, though we think it highly probable that they have recrossed the frontiers, as they most despair, from their repeated miacatriages, of b e ing able to maintain the conflict any longer.— Having lost in this and other engagements nearly dl their artillery and baggage, and having no longer an y means of repairing their losses, they have P r obably no other alternative, but that of throwing s k c ,selves upon the mercy of their justly exasperated adversaries, or of resolving to live in hopeless exiles without any other means of enduring its privations and b ie d s bips, but such as they may find in the pity of t heir Spanish friends, which would be soon cons se rted into contempt, when once their fortunes should b e looked upon• as desperate. In the meantime, the Government of Spain, seeing, .in their forlorn circum stances, the fate that would inevitably aivaititself, should it attempt to evade the repeated and solemn assurances it has given to disarm and disperse them, if they re appear on the Spanish territory, will no doubt redeem ks pledge to the very letter ; and, we think, we may congratulate our Readers upon the entire stfppressiond this nefarious rebellion. In this case Portugal, with' the invigorating aid of her new institutions, and with that sense of security and confidence, which the sap presvion of a dangerous commotion inspires, would Do c o n ly soon recover from the effects of the contest, but, by her rapid progress in the career of improvement, afford another proof of the vast superiority of constitu tional, over despotic, rule. The Moniteur and other Journals, contain no new of the slightest interest. liFoo reference to the proceedings in the House of Commons last night, it will be seen that the opening of the discussion upon the Cora Laws is definitively fixed for Thursday next, it being resolved, should Mr. Secre tary CANNING be unable (a contingency wholly one:- Netted at present) to submit the resolutions in person, that one of his Colleagues shall undertake the duty. • Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has also postponed his Motion nu the Catholic Question from Thursday next to Mon day, the sth of Much. There was no question of any importance before the House of Lords last night, though an irregular dis • cession arose upon the presentation of a Petition from some Irish Protestants, urging the danger of granting any further concessions to their Catholic fellow subjects. Another failure, but not one of the first rate, has this day taken place in the Consol Market.

TM KING, &c. Fidiavav ad. Vrday the , rep rt at the Palace was eV ry way favourable. but It has been more so today, the gnu' in the Kitto's feet being stated to be gradually subsiding.

It was, 41 Mr. Cawntno is quite well." This news, by many, was considered too good to be true; but the same re ply, nn similar occasions, has been unvaried to-day. The Earl of EoazuoNr is shaking off the effects of indisposition; his Lordship is not only convalescent, but hourly regaining strength. Sir Marrisaw Timms was but a short time with his Lordship, or Mr. CAN NING, either yesterday or to day. Both cases, in fact. have mo►t happily terminated in health. F . 23. - . Mr. CANNING had yesterday aninterview with the KING. The Hight Hon. Secretary went in a sedan. chair from his house on the Marine Parade to the Pa. vilion ; on his return, from which he was nearly upset, through the carelessness or intoxication of one of the bearers.

With regard to the practical part of this work, no extract we could make would be of any essential see• vice to the mechanist, while to the general Reader it would be dull and uninteresting; we shall eserefora quote the ingenious author's accuuut of a curioasequa iron clock, and the description of a gong.
