Pm The enemy also abandoned the four gun-boats, with w hi c h they had protected the landing. The loss sus tained by the second column must have been very con siderable, from the impossibility of saving the people in the launches which were upset and destroyed. Finally, I learnt from the prisoners that many had been wounded on board ship, and among others Lieut.-Colonel DOUTEL, Commandant of the second brigade, who was wounded by a splinter on board the man of war. The wreck of the launches, and a great number of bodies, have been cast ashore by the sea along the bay of Villa 4la Prays and the adjacent coast. Our loss consists of 9 men killed, including three officers, and 25 wounded, as your Excellency will see circumstantially in the list I enclose. Such is, Most Illustrious and Excellent Sir, to us the happy and transcendent result to which the enemies of her Majesty's throne have brought their first and probably last attempt against this bulwark of fidelity. All the garrison of this Island, officers and soldiers of all ranks and degrees, conducted themselves, according to the position they were in, as became the defenders of our moat holy and generous cause—the principal glory of this day, however, belongs to the corps of volunteers of her Majesty the Queen Donna MARIA the Second, and the correct narrative of their behaviour, which I have just submitted to your Excellency is their best praise ; and when such facts proclaim the glory of a corps, every other expression becomes weak and inferior. Lieut. D. ANTONIO DE MELLO, my Adjutant, whom I send to your Excellency, and recommend to the benevo lent consideration of her MAJESTY, will have the honour to lay at the feet of that august Lady protestations of love and submission from this garrison, and will inform your Excellency of particulars which it is impossible for me to insert in the present dispatch. May Go n preserve -your Excellency. Conde os VILLA FLOR. To his Eicellency the Marquis de Palmella.

" At the moment that I am about to carry into effect the positive orders that my august master the Emperor of the BRAZILS has been pleased to direct to me, in the quality of Tutor of her Majesty DONNA MARIA Queen of Portugal, viz, that I should re-conduct her MAJESTY to the company of her Imperial Father, it is my duty, in obedience to the instructions with which I am furnished, to declare to the loyal subjects of her Faithful MAJESTY the intentions of his Imperial MAJESTY—that to all may be known the true motives of his Imperial determination, in order that they may not permit them selves to be deluded by unfounded fears or malignant insinuations. The separation of her Faithful MAJESTY from the so ciety of her august Father, became a necessary conse quence of her MAJESTY'S exaltation to the throne of Portugal ; and her coming to England, and temporary residence in the kingdom of the most ancient Ally of Portugal, was occasioned by the unlooked-for and odious usurpation of the Crown of this kingdom in violation of the most sacred oaths ; scandalous to the Governments and nations of both hemispheres. The return of her MAJESTY to her family is the ne cessary effect of the contest existing for legitimacy against usurpation ; and the tender paternal care of his Imperial MAJESTY requires that he should be the de fender and guardian of her MAJESTY until the desired moment shall arrive when she may be placed on the throne that HEAVEN has destined for her. Far from abandoning, therefore, the cause of his much loved daughter, his Imperial Majesty persists in his un alterable resolution to protect the cause of her Majesty by every means in his power, and never to treat with the Usurper or his partizans. Whatever may be the difficulties or obstacles that may retard the triumph of the cause of honour, justice, and legitimacy, the subjects of her Majesty Donna MARIA the Second ought not to be dismayed, nor vacilate in the glorious defence of the cause in which they are engaged, as the justice of it insures its final success—but if any one during this contest may prefer an asylum in Brazil to that which some of the Powers of Europe have afforded them, they may calculate on, and I hereby engage for them, by express orders of the Emperor, that generous hospitality that they are justly deserving of from their unmerited misfortunes and proved fidelity to their Ma jesties Don PEDRO IV. and Donna MARIA II." _ On board his Impetial Majesty's ship Insperatris, August 27, 1529. MARQUIS OF BARBACRNA. INHABITANTS OF THE ISLAND OF TzßczlßA, The vessels in the offing appear to belong to the Usurper of the Portuguese throne, and threaten a descent on this island, which has faithfully maintained its sacred duty of alone obeying its legitimate Sovereign. To me, people of Terceira—to me only, it appertains, to direct the ne cessary steps for your defence, through the gallant and loyal military garrison confided to my command by her MAJESTY, and upon which alone devolves the duty of defending the island. I shall watch over your safety, and the officers and soldiers of this garrison Will know how to make the enemy repent the temerity of an at tack, should they dare to attempt it. People, I address myself to you in the name of your legitimate Qu zzx, to call to your mind that it is your .duty and your interest to preserve tranquillity—shut your .ears to the voice of sedition, and to every clamour that may discourage you, in the certainty that on your conduct in compliance therewith will depend the enjoyment of concessions that our gracious Sovereign will one day con fer on the country that served as the bulwark of fidelity --hut to those who shall swerve from their duty, I pledge myself that the severity and rigour of the l a w shall take its course, and exemplary punishment shall serve as a warning for all who may violate their duty as subjects, _and renounce the sacred obligations of an oath.

The following interesting description of this victory is given by an eye witness, and appears in the Morning Herald of this morning, addressed to the Editor : TIRCIURA, Atm. 14. " Sia—Allow me to make use of the columns of your highly re spectable paper, to acquaint the public with the particulars of an engagement which took place here on the 11 th inst. between the troops of her Majesty the Queen of Portugal and those of Don Miguel, the usurper of that country. Being an eye-witness of the transaction, I can vouch for the ac curacy of the facts which I relate, and assure you that Ido not state the most minute circumstance hut from actual obsetvation. The fleet of Don Miguel appeared off the island about a fortnight since, and continued cruising until the 11th, without any attempt at landing, the wind not being favourable. On the night of the 10th it shifted to the west, accompanied with a thick fog and rain. About nine o'clock on the morning of the 11th the whole Beet, consisting of 22 vessels, were observed to bear up for Prays, a large bay about four leagues to the east of Angra, the capital of the island, and affording every facility for disembarkation. The bay is defended by five small batteries, and some intrenchments which have been lately thrown up. The whole force in the batteries and intrencbments did not ex ceed four hundred men; the fleet of Don Miguel consisted of one line of battle ship, the John the Sixth, tour frigates, two corvettes, four brigs, two schooners, and other vess e ls (in all twenty-two), having on board 4,000 troops ; the whole came to anchor in the bay without being perceived, owing to the dense fog, the vessels of war with their bioadsides to the shore, and com menced firing at the forts before the people on shore were aware of their being in the bay. The cannonade commenced about half past eleven o'clock, and continued without intermission till four in the afternoon, when the first division of Don aliguel's troops, amounting to one thousand men, were embarked on board the boats belonging to the vessels, and also a number of boats be longing to the other islands, protected by the guns of the ships, and covered by several gun boats. The moment the troops approached the shore the battle became general; the cannonade continued and the firing of musketry commenced. The utter destruction of the little band of volunteers who opposed the landing of this formidable force seemed to be for a moment inevitable, but an exertion of coy rage,which nothing but desperation could inspire, saved them; with the coolness of men resolved to perish theytook a deliberate aim from behind their intrenchmeuts, and then rushed on their enemies with a fury nothing could withstand. It is quite impossible fur me to give any thing like a faithful description of the slaughter which fol lowed ; but, that an idea may be formed of the spirit by which these brave men were animated, I need only mention one fact, which I shall simply relate, and let it speak for itself. The troops of Don Miguel obtained possession of one of the forts so suddenly, that one volunteer remained in it, unable to es cape. This hero, finding himself alone, and no hope left but the mercy of his enemies, which be well knew how to appreciate, turned to his pursuers, reproached them as traitors, telling them they should never have the satisfaction of taking his life ; and, while he kept his eye firmly fixed on them, deliberately blew out his brains. Nothing but the union of such a spirit could have achieved the incredible victory which followed this glorious struggle —a struggle not to be paralleled in the annals of modern warfare; and, whatever may be its ultimate results, one which cannot fail to cover the actors in it with immortal fame. I candidly confess to you that, had I not witnessed the transaction, I should nut have thought it possible, nor should I have credited the relation of the facts I saw, if described by any other person, however respectable. I am altogether unequal to the details of this sanguinary battle, but you may judge of its obstinacy by its results. I need only inform Dmthat the loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, on the side of Miguel, amounts to more than three times the number of those who fought against them. There are at this moment 520 soldiers in the different prisons; 14 officers, two of whom are Lieu tenant-Colonels • two superior officers killed—namely, Lieut.-Cul. Jose Azeredo, Chief of Brigade ; Major D. Eneas de Costa, Com mander of the Grenadier Companies; Lieut.-Col. Doutel, Com mander of the second brigade, wounded on board the John VI. ; and several of inferior rank have been found among the slain. Ia a word, the whole of his first division, amounting to 1,000 men, have been either killed, wounded, or token; independent of those who must have been killed and wounded on board the ships, a number, no doubt, considerable, as the cannonade continued Irons half-past eleven in the morning until half-past seven in the evening, when the firing ceased; and, as if nothing should be wanting to render the victory complete, the ships abandoned their anchors and cables, and put to sea in the night. They still continue hovering in sight of the island, but keep at a very respectful distance. The most extraordinary circumstance attending this incredible victory is the fact that the official returns, which I have myself seen, show no more than nine killed, and SIS wounded, on the side of the Constitutionalists. In the fleet of Doo Miguel there ars three British vessels, which have been taken by his *quadrat, and are now under Portuguese names, and manned by Portuguese sailors. Their names were the Brims, the Vine, and, I believe, the Althea, but I atn not certain as to the name of the latter. It Is stated by the prisoners (who seem quite at their ease) to have been the intention of Don Miguel to have put every man on the island above the rank of a serieant to death, to have pardoned such of the soldiers as instantly laid down their arms ; and to deliver such of the inhabitants as have been opposed to him to be tried by a Comntissioo similar to that of Oporto. In fact, according to their account, his plan contemplated the utter exter mination of all who are opposed to him ; but, for the honour of human nature, let us hope he is not so bloody. Whatever were his intentions, the valour of a handful of patriots has disappointed his sanguinary purpose ; and it will no doubt be thought incredible by some that a victory so glorious could possibly be achieved by a few, not exceeding 400 men. However, the fact is true : not only did they destroy or take 1,000 soldiers of Don Miguel, but they also took four gun-boats, and destroyed five others. These are the results of the admirabk dispositions which have been made by the Count Villa Flor since his arrival here. The con fidence of both the troops and the people in his government—the union consequent upon the mild and conciliating measures which he adopted on his arrival—and, above all, his personal activity and energy since the appearance of the fleet off the island, aided by his very efficient Staff—in fact, the mutual confidence of both General and troops, the justice of their cause, and the valour which the love of freedom inspires, contributed to the achievement of this extra ordinary victory. There can be no doubt that the Queen owes the preservation of her authority here to the wise measure of sending out the Count of Villa Flor. Previous to his arrival, the people were beginning to be apprehensive of the vengeance of Don Miguel; and I firmly believe that, had he not arrived so opportunely, this island would at this moment be in the power of the Usurper. At present, it is in such a state of organization and defence as to defy the utmost power of Portugal, supposing It unanimous and legitimately go vetoed. The wonder Isere is, by what magic . Don Miguel has been able to fit out so formidable a fleet, and so completely found in all the requisites for its intended purpose. 0. By the Dutch Mail this day we have Hamburg and other continental Papers to the 26th instant. From El sinore, we hear that the orders issued to reinforce the Russian Fleet are recalled, and a very feasible reason is -assigned, therefore—namely, that " serious differences are apprehended between England and Russia respecting the affitirs!of the East." Nothing more likely we think. An article from Berlin which we find among these papers, and which is subjoined, is deserving of some attention. It is to the effect that the King of Pa v sat is on his way to Paris,—because, first, the " Prussian Ministry ap pear very desirous that France may not, under present circumstances, be too closely connected with England ;" and secondly, " that Prussia may not be placed under the necessity of putting itself in a manner more forward than it has hitherto done." Finally, we perceive by an article from Cracow, that the Russians continue as active as possible in augmenting their military force in the in terior of their vast Empire. The following selections, bearing on these points, are all highly interesting:— ELSINORE, Aug. ti. Hitherto only a few small men of war have arrived in the Sound of the Russian Sect, which has long been expected from Crunstadt oo its way to the Archipelago and the Dardanelles. It is now re ported that the ships of that fleet have received counter orders, and will therefore not proceed to their intended destination. There are various reports in circulation respecting the reasons for these new orders. Some persons think that serious differences are to be alt. Ctedbetween England and Russia, respecting the affairs of the hich, if not amicably adjusted, might lead to the detention of th at fleet in the Channel. - CHRISTIANIA, Atm 16.

CerreeportiwW, N. THE HAGUE, Am. V. Accounts from Major General Bischeff say, that he arrived safe on 7th May in the Straits of Sunda, and the Nehallenia was to sail for Batavia the following day. Hostilities were recommenced in Java about the middle of April, the negotiations with the insur gents having failed. Up to the 7th May. according to the official accounts, no engagement of importance had taken place. Private letters, however. say there had been a severe engagement with the insurgents, in which the Netherlands' troops had gained a com plete victory,—which needs confirmation. According to the latest reports from Lieutenant-General de Kock, Diepo Negoro, at the head of about 1200 men, had made an incursion into the district of Deraeasewoct. lie still retained his greatest influence in Maturam, and exerted himself to the utmost to maintain his ground there. The bead quarters of the troops of the Netherlands was still at Magatang at the end of April. One of the smartest actions was on the 18th April, when a column of the enemy, consisting of 600 men, attacked Lieutenant-Colonel Ledel, its his position, near Sentolo. The attack was very impetuous, but the enemy was at length put to flight by a charge with the bayonet. BERLIN, AUG. 22. Ifs Majesty set out yesterday for Brussels. and will then go to Luxembourg, and, as some say, to Paris. Various reports are in circulation respecting this journey. The Prussian 'Ministry appears very desirous that France may not, under present circumstances, be too closely connected with Ragland, that Prussia may not be placed under the necessity of putting itself in • manner more for ward than it has hitherto done. The Prussian Government continues to olisrrve the most pro found silence respecting the mis.ion of Gen. Muffling to Conti tnti nople. The Censors of the Press have not even allowed the aczoutit of the General's having embarked at islapks to appear in Any of the Prussian Papers. CRACOW, Auo. 7. According to the accounts of numerous travellers, and the con tents of letters from the interior of Ruasi.i, the military force ofjhe empire is more and mare developed, eapecially aince the return of the Emperor. All the roads to the Dnieper Are crowded with new r-crusts. As the warm weather hinders the march or the columns, they march in the night and early in the morning, with a zeal that. could not be expected. These columns are accompanied by a great number of wagginis, not only for the baggage, but also for the soldiers who are over fatigued; a useful and humatie care tor the men, which is tuo much neglected. It animates the zeal of the soldiers, whose courage is inflamed by the accounts of the victories gained by their countrymen. The ltuasians consider the war with Turkey as a national concern, and proceed to the theatre of war with so much zeal, that no doubt can be entertained of their auccess. kIERLIN , Auo.

Sin—lt having been decided that Regimental Courts Martial should award the punishment of impri•onment in such cases only, where the sentence can be carried into effect in places for military confinement at the quarters of the corps, I am directed by the General Commanding in Chief to desire, that you will communicate this letter to the Officers under your coning ind, for their guidance until further orders, and that you will take care that no sentence of a Regimental Court Martial shall be confirmed, which is nut in conformity to the instt actions now given.

BATTLE OF N.ll-.4l?T.''. COURT MARTIAL uroto CAPTAIN iii:IiENSON, It N. (►ROIi OWL CORIESPONDF%T. ) SATUUDIIVFOUIIIH DA% _ At the opening of the Court, Captain Itirbinson was inform,. by the President that the Court could nor permit the pissages his evidence of yesterday to be expunged, but he might add he had to say by way of explanation. Capt. BAYNES contradicted the account given in the Ge'itia's log. Captain Turmas &mit, First Iteutenant of the Grllos. who was stationed on her quarterrdeck during the action, affirmed the correctness ot the log, and said it was never meant to describe that they were engaged with so many Turkish ships, but 'Jot they were merely exposed to their fire in the manner they wets placed in the enemy's curve. He then proved the use of the Genoa'. springs, and that it was by their use the Genoa was placed in the beautiful position so highly praised by Sir Edward Codrington. which brought her broadside on the enemy. and made her opponent a complete wreck. The posit:on of the Genoa occasionally shifted in the course or the illy, but her guns always bore on the enemy. Tat-nog:tout the battle the conduct of Cap.aiii Dickenson was retuark.e.l: lie cu t' ness, presence of mind, seal, and ability Wit!. respect Sir R. Codrington coming on board the Genoa, he (Captain S ) re• ceived him,and conducted him with a lantern to rht cock-pit.wheie Captain Bathurst lay mortally wounded. The Vic., Admiral there expressed his unqualified admiration of the position in which the ship was laid, and the way lie maintained it ; when Captain IL • thurst, in thanking him, expressed an anxious hope that the Lord High Admiral would remember his wife and children. As ('apt. Smith was conducting the Vice-Admiral back to the quarter.dec , i, be met Captain Dickenson, who apologise...l for not being present. As the Admiral descended the side ot the ship he inqutred it lie knew whirr Mrs. Bathurst lived; which Captain S. ktiownig, an swered, and took charge of the delivery of the Admiral's with:tents to that lady. The COURT here went nn to the charge of is , alleged false rent ti of Capt. Bathurst a. kitled, when be was only wounded, and sur vived the battle. liere a good deal of conversation took place be tween S r F . Codrington, who was introduced to the Court. and the Judge Advocate, respecting lonic papers which had bee!. sent down by the Admiralty, and which Sir Edward insisted were es• seinial to the case ; they were intended to show the motive of Capt. Dickenson in teturning Capt. Bathurst killed, in the rap •c• action of thereby receiving a greater share of honours than he would have been entitled to when it was known that Captain Ba thurst had survive d, and given orders to the end of the ars,on. Oise or these. which was particularly dwelt upon, Was a fetter from Mr. Criiker to Sir Edward Cudrington, at Nayarit:, re questing that in the delivery of certain honorary order. tr mit ted in a box, one of those of St. Anne should he giv• a to Capt. Martian:l. Sir Edward replied to this letter, the ugh the Lord High Admiral, complaining of this order beeng. given to Capt. Dickenson, under the circumstances of the attend:. Sir Edward then described the pat-Reams of his visit to take leave of Capt. Bathurst, on board the Genoa, on the night of the ac tion, and persevered in stating, though he said he knew from rumour his evidence on that point had been impugned, that it was Capt. Dickenson, and not Capt. Smith. that receivi.d and conducted him to the cock-pit, where (Sir Edw rd), conaidn• Capt. Bathurst. praised in the highest terms the manner which he had brought his ship into her position (his praise being sully confined to that); that be had never praised her management in the action, but when be came upon deck with Capt.Dtckenson ' had reproved him for neglecting to use hi. •prings. Cross-examined by Captain DICKINSON—Q. Di 1 I not on that evening go myself on board the Asia? A. You did not. Q. Did not an Officer go on board you to report Captain Bathurst mortally wounded, and was it not myself ? A. An Officer did cum-, hat: not yoss Q Do you not remember my finding you set.ted in thr cabin of the Asia on threatening of the battle, and you there telling me that we must go to sea that night, from the prubability ot the danger of being burnt in the harbour, and my desetibing to ylt. the shattered state of the Genoa, giving particulars which rendered it impossible that she could put to sea without slipping both our anchors, and loosing our wizen and mainmast, as we had only ott t shroud upon the two masts? A. Not one word ut this took place, having no intention of sending a single sh'p out of port that night. no could the Asia have stirred under any emergency. Q. Did not Admi t de Rigny also confer with you, saying, it would not be safe to gie to sea that night ? A. Certainly not ; his own ship was as unable to go to sea that night as himself. These questions were repeated in rather a varied form by Captain Dickenson, when the answers were—that " not one word of it could have passed, even if I had seen you there." The only communication, added Sir Edward, that 1 had from the Genoa on that evening, was Runt the officer, not you, announcing that Captain 13. was mortally wounded. Captain Dicaauson—Do you remember that at the same time you were speaking of the battle, you sa d you did not know linw it would be taken in England, but "at all events you Captain Lieu tenants would most likely be promoted ?"—A. Not one word of that did or could have passed. Sir H. Baacxwoon interrogated Sir R. Codritn.ton respecting the return of the mortal wound of Captain Bathurst; and Sir E. replied that an acount of his being returned with a list of the killed and wounded, was the last return of the fleet, and was delayed by the Genoa till he was about to close his dispatches. The Passing/4r here said it was four o'clock. and asked if Capt. D. had any further questions to ask Sir E. C.? be replied he had several, besides wishing to have Lieut. Suitt examined upon some of the points not recollected by Sir E. Codrington. Sir added, that he had accompanied the Genoa's return of killed and wounded with a memorandum after the word killed, as annexed to Captain Bathurst's name, a correction, mortally wounded, died after the action; and tbst he atterwards remarked to Captain 1). that it ' was fortunate for bim and the Surgeon that he had been with them in tbe cock-pit, conversing witbC.pt. B. on the night of the battle, as he was able of his own authority to make the correction befotc be closed his dispatches, and thereby perhaps save the Captain and the Surgeon from an unpleasant investigation of the point by the Lord High Admiral. It appeared, during a part of the evidence connected with tbe complaint of Sir Edward Cudrington, respecting the Admiralty documents, that Mr. Ctoker's letter about the Order of St. Anne, for Captain Dickenson, was dated the 24th of December, 1827 ; the official account of the battle having arrived in Downing -street the 9th of November. &r Edward assigned as a reason why he wrote his answer to the Lord High Admiral, complaining of this Order for Captain Dickenson, that the Admiralty, through their Secretary, had applied to him for copies of two secret papers of the Government, which be had transmitted, and though he wrote for an acknowledgment for their receipt. he had never received it. It was this that induced bim not to write the second time to 31r. roker. The Court here said the hour of adjournment was come, and they adjourned accordingly to nine o'clock on Monday morning. CORN—EXCHA NUE, MAIM—LANK Aoo. Si. Our supply of New Wheat this morning was immense, 2nd although some of it was rather rough, owing to the weather, upon the whole it was capital of its kind, and prices were considerably effected, the best samples not being able to obtain within 6s. per quarter of last Monday's prices, with a considerable quantity resold. Foreign Wheat was extremely dull sale, but without any variation in price. Barley, owing to the small arrival, fully supported our last quotation.
