PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PONTA DELGADA. Sr. MICHAIRCO, TIIIMSDAY, Ana. SO. It has pleased Austonxv GOD to bless the arras of the Patriots at Terceira, in a manner the most signal and satisfactory to the friends of freedom and humanity throughout the whole civilized world. I only lament that it was not in my power to be present during a contest, which, short as it was, will, there is little doubt, maw Portugal from the grasp of as contemptible a despot and lnexorable a faction, as ever cursed any nation of Europe. The news of this glorious event reached us two days ago. In the•oeurse of Monday. several ships were seen approaching the bland from the direction of Terceira. Early in the following morning, the remains of the expedition, consisting of a line-of battle ship, a frigate, four smaller vessels of war, and some tran sports, anchored in the Roads. By the first boat that came on shore, we heard that an attack had been made at Porto Praya on the 11th inst. The following are the most exact details I have been able to collect : by comparing them with those of the heroic Comet on Vu.r.a FLOP / the British public will be enabled at once to judge of the importance of this great triumph, and of the exemplary gal- lantry displayed by those who seemed called upon to decide the - future destinies of their country. My letter of the 11th, the very day of the attack, will have in formed you of the sailing of the Miguelite armament front this place, as well as of the confident expectation entertained of its result. Having waited off Terceira for the arrival of some boats which bad been pressed at Fayal and Pien,in order to serve as gun vessels and to disembark the troops, the arrangements were not completed till the morning of the above day. Some of the ships of war having anchored under the batteries of Prays about ten in the morning, they soon after opened a fire, which was instantly returned f►om the shore. It was not until four in the afternoon that the troops landed. The first and second divisions having entered the boats, they were quietly suffered to disembark, and form themselves well above the beach. This bad been scarcely done, when the Patriot force which had been concealed behind some masked batteries and field pieces, soddenly started up, and, in half an hour, every man who had not the presence of mind to throw down his arms and appeal for mercy, was laid dead on the spot. The carnage is described as having been quite terrific. So well had the Count's measures of defence been taken, that the invading forces were hardly able to fire a single shot, so that nearly the whole perished without making any resistance. While the work of slaughter was going on here, the batteries op posed to the ships were conducted with such effect, that it was only by cutting their cables, and making a precipitate retreat. they were saved from sinking. Some idea may be formed of the precWon of the firing, when I state that the ship of the line received twenty eight shot in her bull, seven of which were under water. The Diana—a large frigate—was still more roughly handled, having been struck by thirty-eight. This vessel was obliged to seek the Dearest ancisseage—that of Fayal—for which she steered after the attack, in a most shattered state. The number of killed and wounded in these two ships alone is estimated at above two hundred. With regard to t►e loss on shore, it is variously re ported. According to the opinion of several eye-witnesses, more than half the number embarked—three thousand—has either fallen, or gone over to the Queen's forces. From all I have beard I should imagine the killed alone must have exceeded a thousand men. It appears that the point chosen for the landing was principally defended by the exiled students of Coimbra. and a part of the Sacred Battalion. It bad long been very industriously circulated by the partisans of the Lisbon faction, that the inhabitants of Terceira were opposed to the Constitutionalists. So far, however, from this being the cue, persons who were employed in disem barking the troops assure me they saw numbers of the peasantry, and even some women, actively engaged to oppose the bligueUte force. Nearly the whole of the Fayal and Pico boats, with their crews composed of inoffensive fishermen, who endeavoured by every possible means to avoid this degrading service, were de stroyed. I should state, that on perceiving the reception experienced by the two first divisions, the remainder of the troops refused to land. Indeed, there Is no doubt that the whole acted with the greatest repugnance ; and even before the expedition left this, it was con. fidently reported that one of the regiments had determined, in the event of being sent on shore, to go over to the patriots. Oa quitting the scene of Ms humiliation and disgrace, Pima, the Miguelite General, who displayed courage worthy of a better same. is said to have dispatched a vessel to Lisbon, and—among other niattert—to have given it as his opinion, that in ease of a second attempt, 20,000 men would be insufficient. A few of the least damaged vessels of the squadron have been left to cruise of the island the remainder, together with the transports, are to proceed to the Tagus forthwith. Besides numbers of wounded on board the ships, a great many have been landed bete. It is wor thy of remark, that both the MigueUte Admirals and their oaken. are loud in their praises of the coolness and undaunted bravery of the patriots. The precision and steadiness of their firing from the batteries, could not be exceeded by the best artillerymen of Europe. and It seems that red-hot shot and shells were used during the latter part of the day : one of the first shots fired killed and wounded nine men on board the line-of-battle ship. The loss of lives on board the Diana may be easily conceived from the number of shot she received. It is indeed quite miraculous how either of these ships escaped. Among the defensive preparations on shore. the Count had succeeded in organizing a small body of cavalry which was in the field, and ready to hasten to any point that might be assailed. Having thus given a hasty outline of this event, so important in every point of view, it only remains for me to express a hope that people will no longer assert that the Portuguese nation is unworthy of that freedom for which they have made so noble a stand. Of all the calumnies resorted to by the partisans of tyranny, this Is by far the most false and ungenerous. It remains to be seen also, whether our Ministers will any longer continue to sanction a block ade, and persevere in a neutrality which identify England with the ruling faction in Portugal, while to their policy alone, every man of sense and reflection will not fail to attribute the !dental effusion of human blood which has taken place at Terceira. I have already said that the whole population of these islands are unequivocally favourable to the charter of Don Pasco, and that if they have not openly declared for Donna Massa, it Is altogether ha consequence of the insidious measures adopted by the Ministers of England. There may be some minor motives found in their de fenceless condition. Knowing, as they do, the certain result of exposing themselves to the fury of the Lisboa faction, they wisely wait for the most proper moment to act. lam led to believe that the time is bet far distant, when the Asoreans are destined to prove their attachment to constitutional liberty. At all events, the joy expressed by all classes when the news from Terceira ar rived, was unbounded, and continues unabated to the present hour. You will probably aeon hear something mere on this subject. I shall only add, that, from all I have seen of the feeling which prevails in Wm Michael's, I ant convinced such a government u that attempted to be established at Lisbon will never be tolerated. P.B. My audtatien at the recent triumph is sack, and my feel ings are so entleuly absorbed by its probable consequences, that you will excuse my new entering into the promised details of Injuries done to &Mk essuneree in these waters, and of gross insults daily offered to British sabisets. I shall, however, take an early opportunity of funduldas se& facts on these matters, as can hardly fail to excite the dime and indignation of every man who has till now prided himself es the sane of Englishman. Previously to ascii* en the attack, It is said that great efforts were made by Puns, the Miguelite leader, to induce the Count to betray his trust and surrender the ideal To all of these the Patriot Chief replied by painting to his batteries, and remonstrating with the emissaries sent to him on the telly of sacriflcing the lives of the soldiers in so desperate an emerprise. There is, however, very little doubt bat, if aseesedd. the whole of the patriots would have been butchered. Nothing *odd exceed the vengeance breathed by some of the Miguelites they left this. They calculated with the greatest confidence on success, and promised to give a speedy account of the patriots. Their temerity and bondage have been well requited. THE KING. WINDSOR, SEPT. 18. Yesterday forenoon, Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, Sir BROOK TAYLOR (brother to Sir HERBERT), and Mr. GREENWOOD, arrived at the Royal Lodge, on a visit to the KING. At half-put two o'clock, the KING, accompanied by the LORD STEWARD and Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, entered a close carriage drawn by four horses, and drove by two postillions, and Lord FIFE, Sir BROOK TAYLOR, Mr. GREENWOOD, and Sir FREDERICK WATSON, entered another Close carriage, drove as above. On leaving the Royal Lodge, his MAJESTY, with his party, proceeded direct to the Castle, where they arrived a little before three o'clock. Mr. JEFFREY WYATTYILLE, Mr. MORELL, and others connected with the furnishing and decorations, were present. The KING con tinued his inspection until a quarter to six o'clock, when his MAJESTY with his retinue left the Castle, and re turned to the Royal Lodge, where his MAJESTY at seven o'clock honoured his visitors and the distinguished mem bers of his household with his company to dinner. — Great rumour continues to exist relative to his MAJESTY going to Brighton. It has been announced that the 10th of next month is the day fixed upon for his MA JESTY'S departure from the Royal Lodge—but as no definitive order has hitherto been issued, it is uncer tain when his MAJESTY goes, or if he goes at all. This forenoon, at eleven o'clock, the Duke of CUMBER LAN D arrived at the Royal Lodge on a visit to the KING, where his Royal Highness will, with the company above mentioned, dine and pass the evening with his MAJESTY. This afternoon the phaetons were ordered to be in readi ness et two o'clock, but owing to the unfavourable state of the weather, close carriages were substituted. To morrow the whole of the company are expected to leave the Royal Lodge. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

What, Sir! the modern dictatorship " re-place" the administration of Mr. CANNING ? It may, indeed, have " dis-placed the popular Cabinet" of that patriotic Minister, by the cold-blooded, heartless and remorseless persecution which thwarted his every measure for his country's good ; and, at last triumphed over that manly, and noble nature, which could not cope with the malig nant machinations of such dastardly assailants :--but to be told that " the Military Government replaced that popular Cabinet"—you know, Sir, " none so well as you," that the combined intellects of the present Cabinet from the Dictator down to his Whipper-in—could not make up the moiety of that vast intelligence which tie once immortal master-spirit infused into the Councils of the State.

Nay, even to that inauspicious, that unenviable, eminence, his Grace could bring but few— and those the worst—of the Machiavelian qualifications which rendered that unlamented statesman the most dmgerous Minister ever inflicted upon a free country. The Duke possesses, in an incomparably superior tie gree, the daring ambition—the reckless hardihood—the insatiable desire of arbitrary rule—the hatred of free in stitutions—the contempt of native land—the thirst after foreign alliances,—the scorn of popular right,—and, above all, the deep-rooted aversion to that great moral engine of national freedom—Tit PRESS : but he does not possess the sagacity—the tbresight—the political tact—the courtierly suppleness—the diplomatic craft-- the Cabinet cunning—the knowledge of mankind, or the plausible pretensions, which acre the peculiar properties of that pander to Princely power —that scourge el subjects.
