(Signed) Marquis de ANG R.JA, Commanding the Worees•of the North. • SlR—Since my dispatch of yesterday, nothing im. portant has happened. I have not yet received an, news from General de Mello, but l have learned from two Officers, who escaped from Chaves on the 91st s that in the evening there was a great tumult in that place, arising from the misunderstanding between O K Rebel Chiefs, and the complete insubordination of the soldiers. On the 19th, the 11th Regiment, and abo lished Regiments 17 and 24, left Chaves, by Valle di Ramene, this battalion of she 7th Cagadorer, remaining us Chaves, because when the Rebel Marquis wanted• to march out, this corps mutinied, and demanded the heads of the rebels, Magessi and Tezeira, who were obliged to fly, and the mutiny ended with the soldiers of the 7th going into quarters, and those of the 11th, 17th, and '24th returning to Chaves in the morning of the 21st; but learning on this day that our trcops were advancing, general disorder ensued, and the Officers taking advantage of the confusion, escaped, and went iu the morning of the 22d to General Mello, who was in the Botica., and was marching towards Chaves; it is probable, that taking advantage of the moment, he is gone in pursuit of the enemy, and that to this we must attribute entire want of news. Count de Villa Flor yesterday united all his forces at Amarsnte, and to-day enters Villa Real. Masao Frio was occupied yesterday by the lililitiayttilder she com mand of Colonel Serpa, charged with the defence of the Tamega from Amarante to the Douro, and toyday the communication with Lamego will be reopened. in order speedily to reinforce General Azeredo, id case the rebels should attempt to re-pass into Beira.

The Petition he was going to present to their Lordships came from the Catholics of Ireland, hav ing for its prayer a particular object.

MUTINY BILL. Lord PALMERSTON moved the third ,reacliiik of the Muiinytilt. • Mr. LEYCESTER said he he should have had much pleasure in finding tbrii the Noble Lord had been in duced to dispense with the power of corporal punish ment rbut as that was not the case, he would rather suffer anything than sanction such a law by his vole.— Such a practice shewed how men's minds could be re conciled to the most loathsome obj• cis by the force of habit. The institution was one which could - not be proposed in the present day without the repiobiatLn and indignation of that House; he therefore though it equally monstrous to continue it. But it was said that necessity required such an aid for the maintenance of discipline. He denied this upon the ground that flag ging was dispensed Kith in the continental ainsie4; neither did he admit it to be more justifiable as a mat ter of expediency. He, moved furleave to bring up a clause rescinding the power to inflict corporal pu nishrnent, Mr. J. SMITH said that his strong objection, to this practice had b 'en recently much increased bj his acci dental residence in a gars-icon town in Fiance fbr three weeks. While there he had an opportunity .of observ ing what was the state of the troops as to discipline,— There were 500 men in the town, and in no respect were they inferior,probably they were superior, in discipline to the best soldiers in our army. Perhats there were ma: y Gentlemen in that House who were not aware that to any man in the French army a blow was never given. I, was dishonour to give a blow or receive one. He happened to have an intimate friend in the British army who held the same sentiments with himself respecting the prac tice of corporal punishment. That Officer hod abstained from exercising the power over the troop which he commanded, and that, troop bad lately bean pronounced the finest in the service. He had led the men to enter tain sentiments of honour, and to i dread punishment as a disgrace: The Hoo. Member expressed* his•'canvic tion that the same system alight be extended to the whole army. without injury to the service, and gave his hearty assent to the chase which had been proposed. Mr, HUME begged to aik the Noble Lotti oppo ite (Lord Palmerston) by what Article of War, or by what section of the Mutiny Act, a Brevet Officer on half*-pay could assume the authority which an Officer had done in a well-known case at Honduras. He wished to know whether a Staff Officer could, agreeably.to the, Articles of War, take upon himself the authority which Colonel Arthur did? Lord PALMERSTON said that Colonel Arthur had acted strictly in conformity with the Articles of War. By the 20th section it was enacted that a superior Officer should have the power of enforcing obedience from his infei iors, and different methods f r so doing were pointed out by that section. Now Colonel Arthur was the Commandant of the station, and conseehently superior to any other Officer who was thin; sand he (Load P.) maintained that it was perfectly in accordance with the rules of the army for an Officer on half-pay to hold a peculiar local appointment. Colonel Arthur bad been nominated to such an appointment :• it gave him the military command of the station, and he had a right to exercise such authority as the law invested a C nismandant with. r. HUM E duo wished to kaow horn the Noble Ad CHAMBER OF PEER% Pia sa. The Order of the Day was, the debate on the propo sal of the Committee of Finance, that on the arrival of the Queen Donna Maria IL a hundred centos of reis should be given her fiom the public Treasut . y, which, after some debate, was agreed to. CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES, Fan. 24. -The President gave an account of the reception of the Deputation', which went the Palace of Ajuda, to present to the Princess Regent the Address intended to be sent to the Emperor DOn Pedro, thanking him for giving the Chamber to Portugal ; to which her High nest gave a very gracious answer, promising to transmit the Address to her brother. Senior Garna Lobo made a motion, that the Govern ment should be required to order immediately the dis arming of all the militia, who, having joined the Rebels, afterwards left them, and are now ak.sheir homes : he enforced the necessity of this imeasiire in an energetic speech. • Senior Borges Carniero said, he was i friend to mo. deration ; but, in truth, t 6 - confound moderation with the most scandalous connivance,' is intolerable.
