one cause only, from which any danger need be appre lended to the Church ; if the Church shall identify itself :sv - th the partisan politics of any party in this community, in my opinion it puts to peril a great del in the result of a very doubtful issue.—( Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) heat. it must be obvHis to the Church itself, that if ti ourse is perse crcd in, the time may come when the alternative might I , e this—that the people would feel that they were thwarted in the attainment of their temporal 4nterests by the Chuicl - , and hence might be led to pursue tilos temporal interests by deserting the Church.—( Hear.) But I hope that time will never arrive. I think suc'i a consideration not altogether unworthy of the attention of the Church. This is only in accordance with opinions I have for sears expressed. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL followed with a speech for which we has e not room ; but its tone was similar to the preceding. THOMAS MAITLAND, Esq., advocate, moved—that in the ph:cent momentous crisis of the affairs of the country, the Right Hon. James Abe reromby and Sir John Camp bell are fully entitled and eminently qualified to represent this city in the Commons House of parliament. JOHN MAcrIE, Esq., merchant, seconded the motion. After the- candidates !'ad replied to some questions relat ing to Household Suffrage anti th e Ballot, the motion was carried by declamation. MR. STEUART GUARD AND T ANHE SCOTTISH I. TATTERSALL' S-YESTERDAI'. Of the maay momentous interests now at stake in the present political contest, one of the first and mightiest in importance is the cause of Scriptural Education. And we are well convinced, that could the electors of Scotland be but assured of the fact, that a cause so sacred is really in peril at the hands of the present Government, they would forget their differences on matters of lesser moment, and combine almost as one man in defending the best inherit ance of their ehildren. Our present purpose, therefore, is not to argue the question, but to prove the case—to call a witness to bear testimony to the views of Ministers on this vital point ; and while we invite the attention of our readers in general, we invite most especially that of our friends in Haddington, Jedburgh, and throughout that district of burghs. Mr. Robert Steuart, the present Member for these burghs, when calling, the other day, on one of the electors, a gentleman of great worth and intelligence, was interro gated as to his views on the subject of religious education. In reply, he affirmed in so many words, that " no more of religion should be taught in our public schools than what was common to all parties, or what all were agreed on." This statement the elector met at once, by asking him how such a system could possibly work, ex cept by excluding religion wholly and entirely from the school ? If we are to agree with the Jews, we must ex clude the New Testament. If we are to agree with the Deist, we must exclude the sacred volume altogether. If we are to agree with the Socinian, we must not teach the children the grand doctrine of the Saviour's Divinity, —we must destroy the Gospel. If we are to agree with the Papist, we must banish the whole Bible—except, it may be, some garbled extracts, and even these we must not ex plain and interpret to the children. These monstrous, but plain and necessary consequences of the principle laid down ny Mr. Steuart were distinctly pointed out to him by the faithful elector; but though the discussion lasted half an hour, not one jot would Mr. Steuart abate or modify of his anti- Scriptural opinions. And, moreover, while he avowed these latitudinarian principles as his own, he permitted the elector to assume in his argument that they were also those of the Government,' under which Mr. Steuart holds an important office, without contradiction or question. Here, then we have a vidimus of what the Whig Radical Ministry are preparing for us in the great national question of education. One of themselves boldly avows it—that education without creed is the doctrine they hold, and with which, if they obtain the power, they have the set purpose to poison the country. Let every Christian elector look to it. Let every man who has a family, and who knows that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, look to it. Let every man look to it who would save the rising generation from the incalculable mischiefs of an infidel edu cation. We trust this, declaration of Mr. Robert Steuart will decide his fate in the Haddington burghs. The elec tors of these burghs may love their political party much, but we are confident their votes will testify that they love their Bible more.—Sedltish Guardian (Friday). TO THE EDITOR OF THE SCOTTISH GUARDIAN. Haddington, July 22, 1837. Sir, —My attention has this moment been called to a paragraph which appeared in the Scottish Guardian on the 21st, on the subject of Scriptural Education, wherein, to support your assumption, " that a cause so sacred is in peril at the hands of the present Government," you proceed to give a report of a conversation said to have been held by me with "a gentleman of great worth and intelligence," one of the electors of the constituency which I have for some time had the honour to represent ; and you then go on to deduce your own inferences therefrom. I have no difficulty in at once naming the elector to whom you attune, aim tracing rue source from whence your information must have come. The only conversation that I had upon the subject, with any of the electors, was with the Rev. Mr. Purvis of Jed burgh ; but so overstrained and distorted are the opinions attributed to me, that I scarce can recognise any portion of my own sentiments, under the colouring given to them ; but I cannot mistake the clumsy arguments which I re member to have heard the reverend gentleman use, and which I well recollect I was saved the trouble of answer ing, by hearing their irrelevancy at once exposed by an honourable friend of mine, who was present on that occa sion, and to whose recollection of what passed I am quite satisfied to refer, in order to bear out my version of this private conversation, which I have, with no small astonish ment, seen thus dragged before the public. The reverend divine interrogated me as to my opinions with regard to the system of national education established in Ireland. I ex pressed my entire approval of it. On his declaring his dislike to the plan adopted of making selections from the Scriptures, which both Protestants and Catholics might read in common (although he admitted he had never seen the books used), I reminded him that it originated with Lord Stanley ; and I further suggested to him that a simila selection from the Scriptures was in use in some of the Gaelic schools of the General Assembly. The whole point under discussion was the system of national education in Ireland, and it was to the defence of that system that my whole arguments were directed ; and as to that reply assigned to me (and which is purported " to have been given in so many words") that " no more of religion should be taught in our public schools than was common to all parties, or about which all parties were agreed," I most unhesitatingly declare that the sub.tance of this reply (for I do not recollect my exact words) expresses my opinion so far as regards the system of educa tion applicable to the peculiar state of society in Ireland, but that to Ireland, and to Ireland alone, did I refer. I never did entertain such opinions with reference to Scot land : nor (to the best of my recollection) did I express ANY opinion on the subject of education in this country. Could I have conceived it possible that the Rev. Gen tleman would have violated the privacy of his own study, to lay before the public any part or portion of the conver sation I held with him, I should have taken notes at the time, with the view of furnishing a more accurate report of what passed than the Rev. Gentleman seems prepared to afford. In this instance the faithful elector has proved himself by no means a faithful reporter ; and while I am unwilling to impute motives to any one, and still less to attribute uncharitable intentions to a Minister of the Gos pel, I cannot but observe, that, in communicating any portion of a private conversation to a public journal, with out giving an accurate and full report of all that passed on the :occasion —by suppressing part, by quoting particular portions only, and by thus creating false premises from which erroneous inferences may be deduced—there appears something very like misrepresentation wilfully made, fur the purpose of prejudicing a public man, and with a view to forward the ends of a particular party, to become the political agents and tools of whom, too many Ministers of the Church have of late lent themselves, most unfortu nately, as I venture to think, for the credit of their sacred calling. Your journal I have seldom seen or heard of, but I am informed it is one peculiarly dedicated to promoting the great ends of the Christian faith. having so readily attri buted opinions which I do not hold, and having so eagerly sent them forth to the public as belonging to me, I trust, in Christian charity, and with a view to repair the injury you have inflicted upon me, you will unhesitatingly insert this my distinct disavowal of them on the part of myself, es well as on the part of the Government to which I have the honour to belong. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) R. ST ELT ART. MR. SPENCER'S TRAVELS IN CIRCASSIA.—The great interest excited by the position of Circassia, with regard to Russia, renders every particular connected with it of more than ordinary importance at the present moment. We, there fore, view with much satisfaction the appearance of Mr. Spen cer's volumes, as they contain the most recent, as well as ac curate account of the state and prospects of Circassia. Mr. Spencer, in the course of his travels, visited the whole of thu ports hitherto hermetically sealed against .every ceived foieigner, and penetrated into th e interior, where being re on friendly terms by the chiefs, he has been enabled to give most amusing and attractive pictu res of their domestic habits, man ners, and customs, of their mode s of warfare, of the military strength of the country, of the p resent contest , with Russia, &c., and to estimate the importance of this nation both. llus. in a military and commercial point of view. 1-lis volumes are i trated with numerous embellishments. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence will, it is rumoured, shortly leave England in command of a Regiment on foreign service. His Lordship has returned to town from a visit to Lord Augustus, at Maple Durham. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. For the first hour or two nothing went down but the elec tions, and, when business did commence, it was so mixed up with them that we had some troub.c to find out what was "the order of the day." Very few alterations will be found in the subj , ined quotation t. It is proper ter state, however, that Hornsca and The Carpenter are daily making fresh converts for the Goodwood Stakes, and are the only favourites backed for any money. For the Drawing-Room Stakes Wisdom and Velure were the only two backed. An offer was made to back Cartoon, but the odds (4 to 1) did not suit. Cardinal Puff is a shade worse than on Monday, and Mango a trifle better. A new favourite made his appearance in the person of Mr. Golden's Robin Hood colt, who has been talked of for the last fortnight, but not backed. Closing prices : GOODWOOD STAKES, P. P.

GIG AND CUTTER MATCH.—The gentlemen of the great aquatic clubs had a high treat on Wednesday in the spirited contest between the watermen of Saltash and the crack men of London, not that any person could expect that the coun trymen were any thing like a fair match for the celebrated men composing the London crew, and that too on their own waters. How the match originated it is impossible to say, but no ex pense had been spared to give each a fair chance of success. The Londoners had it all their QWII WI SITNA tilt% WU nut realize the anticipation of every gentleman who could be considered a judge in the matter of aquatics. Betting was two to one in favour of the Londoners, and very few takers. At a quarter to seven they tossed for choice of station, which was won by the Londoners, who went to the north side of the middle pier ; their adversaries took their places, and each were stationed with the toe-line. The start took place at seven o'clock. The Londoners had it better than their opponents, but the crews were oar and oar until their arrival at the Horse ferry ; but here the Londoners gradually drew away from them and took the lead, nor did they ever lose it. The country men rowed with the most determined game ; but they were decidedly overmatched. The Londoners led on well, and ar rived at Kew- bridge four minutes and a quarter a-head of their opponents. They were greeted with the most deafening shouts, although many of the crack galleys had been distanced. It was a neap tide, and there was plenty of work to do. The Saltash men were very light, or at any rate appeared so. Their rowing was better than could well have been well imagined ; but that of the cutter men was peculiarly handsome.

The return of General Fergusson and Sir John Hob house, to represent this populous town in Parliament, I communicated in my last ; but unfortunately, on account of some of the pages being pocketted by the poll•clerks, the state of the poll at the close was incorrect. The numbers actually being— Fergusson Hobhouse Plowden Twiss Majority for Ferguson... 659—For Hobhouse 6sb This was announced on Wednesday by the Returning Officer ; and that day having been appointed for the pre sentation of a splendid service of plate to Thomas Wake field, Esq., by the Reformers of the town, a large booth was erected in one of the fields, and upwards of 1,200 highly respectable gentlemen sat down to dinner. The tout ensemble was perhaps one of the most complete that was ever witnessed. Lord Rancliffe took the chair, having on his right hand Mr. Wakefield, General Ferguson, and Colonel Wildman, of Newstead ; and on his left Sir John Hobhouse, Bart., and G. S. Foljambe, Esq., the Reform candidate for the Northern Division of the county. After dinner the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given, and the great enthusiasm with which the health of the Queen was drunk, exceeded anything of the kind I (an old hand) can remember. The Duke of Sussex, and the rest of the Royal Family, were received with long, loud, and reiterated cheers, that evidently came from the heart. His Lordship made an excellent address on the presentation of the plate, to which Mr. Wakefield responded with much energy and grateful feeling. The healths of her Majesty's Ministers, drew forth from Sir John Hobhouse one of his brilliant dis plays of oratory, which excited rapturous applause. The healths of the Members brought up General Ferguson, who responded in his usual manly and energetic way. Mr. Fol ifirebe's health- and +— roep;b.3 and in returning thanks that gentleman observed, that he had been induced to come forward from a sense of duty. and his strong attachment to constitutional Reform, as well as an earnest desire to give stability to the liberal and re forming Government of her Majesty. The health of Col. Wildman was greeted with all the warmth of kindly senti ment which had ever welcomed the Gallant Colonel since his residence at Newstead, and his reply was loudly cheered by those who honour him for his steady adherence to the principles of Reform. During the latter part of the even : ing, Mr. M. D. Hill delivered a very spirited and beautiful speech. The whole went off with great satisfaction. There was " the feast of reason, and the flow of soul ;" and the day will long be remembered in the annals of the town. The inscription on the plate is as follows :—" Presented to Thomas Wakefield, Esq., by the Reformers of Notting ham, as a testimony of esteem and respect for his unwearied exertions to promote the welfare and prosperity of the town —his steady and consistent advocacy of the principles of civil andreligious liberty—and his conduct as the first elected Mayor of this borough under the Municipal Reform Act."

Thoy leave this place to morrow for Torquay, on their way to London. Ply mouth is in a great state of ferment. The polling takes place to-morrow ; the nomination took place to-day. The friends of the Liberals are sanguine in their anticipa tions of returning both their old Liberal Members, Collier and Bewes. _ _ _ _ Cheat interest is excited as to whether Lord Eliot (a Tory), or the gallant Sir Hussey Vivian (a Whig), shall be the successor of Sir W.

Ber keley with a message from Captain Younghusband, to the effect that, as Chairman of Mr. Peel's Committee, he, Cap tain Younghusband, considered that the epithet " false,' used by Captain Berkeley in his Committee Room, was an epithet personally reflecting on Mr. Peel's Committee, and requiring Captain B. to retract it or apologize. Captain Berkeley replied that believing his assertion to be true he would neither retract nor apologize, and immediately referred Major Chalmer to Captain Carrington Smith as his friend. A meeting took place in a field near Arle, and after an ex change of shots, Major Chalmer withdrew his friend from the ground, expressing himself satisfied if Captain C. Smith was, which was assented to by . Captain Smith, he at the same time observing that his principal, Captain Craven Ber keley was not, and that he Captain B. insisted on keeping his ground without apologizing or giving any explanation.

GENERAL ASSOCIATION. — The Association held its usual weekly meeting yesterday. L. Finn, Esq. was called to the Chair. The Secretary having read the minutes of the last day's proceedings, observed that, in accordance oith a resolution of the Association, two gentlemen had been sent to Carlow, relative to the forthcoming election. The gentlemen deputed were Messrs. Lysaght, Pennefather and Doheny. A sum of 5/. had been given towards defraying their expenses, but it was returned in a letter from Mr. Pennefather—neither of the gentlemen consenting to put the Association to any expense in promoting the national cause.—(Cheers.) They were that day attending the fair of Timolin, and, he had no doubt whatever, with every prospect of success. Nothing could exceed the enthu biasm that prevailed in the Borough of Carlow for the re turn of the Liberal Member—while the same could be said for tha county. After some further observations on the fa vourable aspect of the elections, Mr. Crosthwaite pre sented to the notice of the meeting Mr. R. Hutton, the candidate for the representation of the city. This latter gentleman then came forward, and addressed the meeting. He was greeted with cheers, long and loud. The following resolution, proposed by Mr. Seton, was carried by acclama tion That it is the opinion of the General Association that Messrs. O'Connell and Hutton are fit and proper per sons to represent the city of Dublin in Parliament." CITY ELECTION.—The nomination will take place on Monday, and the polling will commence on the following morning at 9 o'clock. A meeting of the Guild of Merchants was held yesterday when a Resolution in favour of the pretensions of Messrs. West and Hamilton was carried. " We stop the press to announce that Mr. Stock has just declared himself a candidate for the representation of the University ; and it is added, that Mr. Richard Moore —Mr. Richard Moore ! ! !—late a Conservative, has con• sented, at the solicitation of the Government, to embark his character and reputation in the same reputable enter prise. This, however, is quite certain, that Mr. Stock will stand on the O'Connell interest, and that although the in tention was studiously concealed to the last moment, that we shall have a contest. The election will commence on Monday." We have copied the above inorceati from the Mail, whose freaks to-day are amusing. The Irish public are treated to an article which, it must be confessed, has a most inviting appearance ; but what we fear is, that how over great the gullibility of the Mail's readers may be, they will scarcely be able to digest it. Here it is—large letters, and all just as it was served up on Wednesday evening GLORIOUS PROGRESS OF THE CONSR- \'k J VATIVE CAUSE. The English elections have commenced ; and several of them come to a close. The success of the Conser vative cause has been glorious beyond our warmest antici pations." Our Conservative Contemporary, to whom we wish many s imilar occasions for congratulation may occur on his own s ide of the water, then proceeds to inform the world that " London—the City of London—the head-quarters of Radicalism and Cabinet influence, has returned a Conser vative Member. Really the accuracy of our Contem porary is truly admirable, and clearly entitles him to carp at our anticipation in the case of Harwich. But the discovery relative to the result of the City of London Election is not the only one made by the lail to day. Our Contemporary hints pretty plainly his conviction that Lord J. Russell's letter, addressed to Lord Mulgrave, by command of her Majesty, " was originally drawn up by the experienced hand of Mr. O'Connell himself in the C o mmittee-room of the Trades' Union, and thence trans mitted to Downing street for the signature of the Home Secretary, if indeed such a form was considered necessary." Ris um teneatis. RATliccu'ucK.,—ln the course of the long and eloquent e ,- )t 411 -4iv+ LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 28, 1837. The intelligence received to-day from the country is of the most cheering description. The provincial elec tions continue to demonstrate the falsehood of those predictions in which the Tories indulged themselves be fore the contest commenced. Nothing, then, would satisfy the organs of the faction but an immense ma jority of new Members in favour of Toryism. Such, it was over and over again asserted, was the state of the public mind—so deeply were the people in love with anti-liberal principles, that the• Tory Candidates were every where sure of an easy victory. They had only to show themselves on the hustings, - and success was se cured.' How has the result answered these lofty expec tations ? Instead of increasing their strength, the To ries have, up to the present moment, lost considerably the elections which are over, and they have the ani mating prospect of losing in a far greater proportion on those which are to come. We wish them joy of their situation—a wish, we assure them, unalloyed with a single particle of envy. They are most welcome to console themselves for their " apparent defeat," as the Times of this morning sportively expresses it, with the hope which it no less humourously holds out, that " a little time will effectually turn the tables.' A "little time," like your wonder-working if, is some times an excellent auxiliary, but in the present in stance we would advise the Tories not to trust too much to it—it will assuredly prove a bitter enemy to them and their cause. In the mean time, let these public trumpeters keep up the spirits of their friends by all manner of delusions. If a Tory chance to smuggle himself into any come where a Reformer was before, let them all do as the Morning Post does—multiply such an one by two ; and by this means—for by no other will they be able to make out a majority—they may succeed in imposing upon the few silly persons who look to them for information and direction. Even these persons, foolish as they are, are deemed sufficiently intelligent to require their attention to be drawn off as much as possible from the provincial elections. Accordingly, the expedient is resorted to, of making a -huge bluster and bellowing about the undue means by which the metropolitan elections have been carried against the faction. No doubt it is con foundedly annoying that there should have been a majority of 2,500 against the Tory candidate in Finsbury—of more than 1,000 against his brother Tories in Lambeth and Southwark ; and, what is still more galling, in that hot-bed of re-action, Westminster. All this we allow is exceedingly pro voking, and very difficult to bear with patience. But to attribute it to the influence of bribery, and intimida tion, and other improper means used by the Refor mers, is enough to make a stoic split his sides with laughter. And little less rational is it to foam and froth about a scrutiny in the City of London, and in Marylebone. This is all fudge. The parties who secretly prompt these blusterings know that a scrutiny would expose a mass of villainy on the Tory side that would make even them blush, were such a thing pos sible. If the Times wants information as to the in flence used in the city election, we understand Mr. ELVIDGE, the publican of Tower-street, who has an extensive acquaintance among the long-shore men, as they are called, can supply it in abundance. We could mention some other " authorities" of higher station to whom application might be made, but it is unne- cessary. And now let us again call upon the electors who have yet to vote to follow up with effect the advantages which have been already gained. There is much yet to do before the final triumph can be said to be secure. The efforts made by the Tories arc perfectly un precedented. The party are reduced to a state of despair, and are fighting the battle like des perate men—utterly regardless of the means they use, provided they succeed. Let the Reformers meet these exertions with the calm hilt resolute de termination of freemen, who, feeling that their liberty is in danger, feel also that they are able to defend it, and willing to sacrifice every thing but principle in is defence. The present election has already been productive of two important results. Intimidation and coercion have been carried to such an unprecedented extent, that vast numbers formerly opposed to the Ballot see there can be no security for good government till it is fully established. Lord MoRPETH himself now admits that " the Tories could not be beaten in several places without the Ballot ;" and possibly before Mr. SPRINO RICE stands again for Cambridge, he may find it ex pedient to make something more than a similar admis sion. The other great mainstay of the Tories, bribery, and the extent to which it has been carried, point out the grand mistake committed by the Legislature in 1832, by leaving the franchise to the most venal and most cor rupt of all electors, the freemen of cities and boroughs. Their conduct at many places during the present election has been disgraceful to the English name. Without character or principle, many of them who are on the brink of pauperism sell their votes to the highest bidder, and. care not a jot whether the man they send to Parliament is an sbettor of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, or a loyal subject and supporter of the QUEEN. The scenes which have taken place at Bridgewater, Nor wich, Ipswich, Liverpool, and many other places, will occupy the attention of the ensuing Parliament, and will, we trust, lead either to the disfranchisement of such corrupt constituencies, or to some measure for doing away with that great anomaly in the Reform Bill— that of allowing pauper-freemen the privileges of in dependent citizens. The Tories resisted the abolition of the freemen's franchise in the discussion on the Re- form Bill. They knew for what reason, and they have now given their opponents practical proofs of it. The Tories claim for themselves peculiarly the character and manners of gentlemen their pro ceedings during the present election will enable the public to judge how well they deserve the title. The conduct of Sir GEORGE MURRAY, who is reckoned a fair specimen of his party, may serve as an instance. He allowed his Committee to blacken the character of a gallant brother officer, and stood by while they dis tributed placards charging him with having flogged women. He came on the hustings, with many a nod of recognition to persons in the crowd, on the day of nomination, while on a show of hands the only persons that recognised him were about thirty persons in front of him, who evidently came there to create a riot ; and when Mr. LEADER made a signal to the peaceable multitude to remove these dis reputable characters, Sir G. MURRAY denounced him for treating the " people of England" with su- percilious contempt. The elections in general have not raised the character of the party, and that of Westminster has reduced Sir G. MURRAY much lower even than he was when rejected in Perthshire for breaking a solemn pledge made to the electors of that county. Their bribery, their intimidation, and, above all, their renunciation of the New Poor Law Act, of which they cordially approve, show that they are ready to sacrifice every thing for place. We have barely space to call the attention of our readers to an article in another part of our paper, in which the unworthy, and we must add, unprinci pled expedients, to which some of the Scottish clergy are resorting for electioneering purposes are detailed. It appears that the Rev. Mr. PURVIS of Jedburgh has thought he was doing good service to the cause of truth and religion, by circulating misrepresentations as gross as can well be imagined respecting Mr. R. STUART,E the late liberal representative and present candidate for the Haddington district of boroughs. Mr. STEUART has given so able a dissection of the Rev. Gentleman in his reply, that we need only refer the reader to his letter. Our Morning Contemporaries have published second editions, with important intelligence from Lisbon to the 20th inst., received by the Calpe steamer, which arrived at Falmouth on Wednesday. Another at tempt had been made to restore Don PEDRO'S char ter, but with what success we are but partially in formed. Advices reached Lisbon on the morning of the 14th instant, that a battalion of the 4th Ca cadores quartered in the neighbourhood of Braga had, at the instigation of Baron LEIRIA and others, seized their officers, and solemnly proclaimed the Charter of 1826. The movement quickly eitended to Oporto, where the authorities in vain endeavoured to restore or der. The National Guards were called out, but they refused to march, and even the troops of the line showed a disinclination to fire upon their companions in arms. In this emergency the Ministers threw themselves upon the indulgence of the Cortes, who, in the course of a few hours, passed the following Bill, which im mediately received the Royal assent : " 1. That the Government be authorised to use for one month, extraordinary and discretionary power s accor di ng as circumstances may require, to suppress the rebellion which has broken out in the province of the Minim. " 2. That during the same time the Habeas Corpus be suspended throughout the kingdom, and that the Govern ment be authorised to arrest any suspected individuals with out further formalities. " 3. That during the same period no newspapers, periodi cals, or printed pamphlets can be published, without the previous consent of the Government. " 4. That at the expiration of the above period, Go vernment shall be obliged to account to the Cortes for the use they may have made of the powers invested in them by virtue of this law. " 5. That the Government be also authorised to raise, by whatever means they may think proper, the funds they may require, to the extent of 2,000,000,000 de rein (500,0001. sterling.) " 6. That this law is to take effect from the moment it shall receive the Royal sanction. " 7. That all decrees contrary to this law are hereby revoked. The same evening the steamer Terceira left Lisbon with five hundred troops, under the command o f the late Minister of War, SA DA BANDEIRA, nominated to the Lieutenancy of the Northern Provinces. Along with him went Senhor JOSE DA SILVA. PAssos, 3 5 Civil Governor of Oporto. Unfortunately, th e VCSSC was obliged, owing to a sudden storm, to put into Peniche for safety ; so that the latest advices front Oporto take no notice of her arrival in the harbour of that city. The following bulletins fro:n Oporto were received at Lisbon by the Government between the 14th and the 20th inst. BULLETIN OF THE 13TH -TWO O ' CLOCK P.M. The Baron de Almargein, the Military Governor of Oporto, with 1,400 troops of the line, has proceeded as far as Barca de Tropha, and expects to come up with the in surgents, who were at Villa Nova de Familiacom, in tha course of last night." (BULLETIN OF THE 16TH.) ." The rebels have fled from Villa Nova da without waiting the attack, and the commander of the 4th division is in pursuit of them. He also tells me that those in Braga have fled in the direction of Villa da Berea. have given this information to the Commander of the .5° division, that he may unite his forces and act according " circumstances.' (This bulletin is from the Commander of the 3d Military Division, to the Secretary of State for thd War Department.") (BULLETIN OF THE 17TH, 6 O ' CLOCK, P.M.) " Thu 4th Division entered Barca on the night of the 16th, and was pursuing the rebels by forced marches, Iu order to come up and attack them previous to their bei o6 able to enter Valence, to which fortress they are directul their march. The Viscount de Gems de Lima endeavour ed to reduce the garrison of Vienna, in which he failed.' _ No later accounts had leached Lisbon when th e Calpe sailed for England, but the impression was that the insurrection would be effectually crushed in a few days. The Ministers were not suffering the power s with which they were entrusted to remain idle in thel r , hands. Several arrests of suspected individuals too" place on the 16th, 17th, and 18th, and two of t he journals favourable to the Charter were f orc ibly sur pressed, by order of the Minister of the Interior. 3 " t list of conspirators leagued together to restore 114 MAILS.
