Svo. 11. 4s. LOCAL TESTAMENTARY COURTS. IT is understood that an extraordinary tnea - A- sure is now in preparation, which, if carried into a law, will produce the most alarming alterations in the existing mode of pre , erving wills, and of taking out pro bates and letters of administration m every part of this kingdom, not comprised within the precincts of the me tropols. This Bill is said to contemplate, in the first place, the immediate removal to London of all original wills. from the places where they are now deposited throughout the several counties of England and Wales ; and to provide that in future all such instruments shall be regularly transmitted to Doctors' Commons, to be there p rpetually retained. Consequently, if this measure be suece.sful, pen sons living at a distance from the capital will be precluded, in future, from obtaining authentic inf-rmation as to the contents of any will in which they may be interested, unless they submit to the inconve nience and expense of journeys to and from town. or pay an agent specially employed for the purpose. Thus, in either case, they must incur heavy charges not hitherto imposed on inclividuals resident in the country, and fi ow which the inhabitants of the metropolis would be altoge ther free. How are the probates and letters of admini• stration annuilly taken out at short distances from the homes of the parties, through the instrumenta , ity of the local tribunals, to he obtained by country families under the new B:11? It is impossible to devise any machinery for the accomplishment of Ibis object, that will not very considerably incre,se the rate of expense which it now r• quires. It was stated in evidence before the Ecclesiastical Com mis•ioners, as well as before a Committee of the House of Commons, that wills have been proved at D.ictors' Com mons of persons actually living when the probates were taken out; and that letters of administration have been granted to persons having no title thereto, upon the secu rities of men of straw By stratagems of this kind great frauds have been perpetrated. Can it be doubted that the proposed system of having all the country business trans• acted through that Court, but at various and remote dis tances from it, would suggest ii resistible temptations for new frauds of a still more formidable character ? By reason of the present state of the law with respect to bona notabilia, and of the fact that the great mass of the personal property of the kingdom is centred in the metropolis, probates or administrations appertaining to effects of large amount are now usually taken out at Doctors' Commons ; while those disposing of personal chattels of small amount are, for the most part, taken out in the county. The former are not often under the sum of 1 0001. ; the latter very seldom exceed that sum. Tile annual number of probates and administrations taken out in the country Courts is about fourtee❑ thousand ; and of these, twelve thousand five hundred are under 1,0001., seven thousand are under 2001., and four thousand seven hundred are absolutely under 1001. Therefore, the new Bill is designed to impose upon the small properties of the country a new species of taxation, which is not to he levied on the riches cf the higher orders !—snd for what purpose ? Simply, that the Prerogative Court may monopolise all the testamentary jurisdiction now distri buted over the face of the kingdom. By way of finding a pretext for this unwarrantable in novation upon the ancient usages of the realm, the report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, who seek the ag grannisement of the Metropolitan Court, has charged the local tribunals with ignorance and carelessness in making grants of prosate or administration. But evert those Commissioners have not been able to found that charge upon a single statement of fact. It was necessary to their purpose to annihilate the local tribunals ; and, acting as judges in their own cause, they have pronounced those establishments guilty, without caliiag for any defence, or having before them even the shadow of any evidence to justify their sentence. Inasmuch, therefore, as the Bill in question, thus pro posing innovations which must in every point of view be attended with great inconvenience and expense to all per sons resident in the country parts of England and Wales, affects to be founded upon the alleged incompetency of the local courts to transact the testamentary business hitherto confided to those tribunals from a period beyond the me• mory of man, the Registrars, Deputy Registrars, and other officers of the country courts, do hereby resolve and declare:- 1. That the charges brought against the Local Courts of Testamentary Jurisdiction in the Report of the Eccle siastical Commissioners, dated the 15th of February, 1832, are founded on the mere unsupported opinions of individuals not having actual personal knowledge on the subject, and whose evidence would, on that account alone, be inadmissible in any court of justice in this kingdom. 2. Ttiat it is shown by the evidence of the Solicitor to the Bank of England, that the Prerogative Court of the province of Canterbury has already exceeded its juris diction in those cases, where the alleged Bona Notabilia consisted solely of stock in the Public Funds ; although it would appear that the title to such stock follows the person of the testator, and therefore, that the grant of the country courts as to such stock would be perfectly valid. Hence, it follows, that the due authority of the country courts has been alre idy invaded; and that, in stead of being further limited, it ought to be fully pro tected by a clear definition of the law upon this subject. 3. Tuat if the Legislature consider the country courts now existing to require consolidation or improvement, we hereby pledge ourselves to render all the assistance in our power, in order to effect those obj,cts, and thus to in crease as much as possible the manifold advantages, which Local Tribunals for the administration of justice in every shape are calculated to confer upon the people of this kingdom. 4. That if any such local establishments be in want of uitable depositories for the safe custody of wills, and for allowing easier access to the same, we hereby resolve that such depositories and facilities of reference shall be pro vided without any expense to the country. 5. That the Committee do meet from time to time, in order that they may firmly resist any clauses in the pro posed Bill: which may tend to impair the efficacy of the local testamentary tribunals, and so to diminish the great public advantage of bringing home justice in a cheap and convenient form to every man's door.

THE ARMY. GENERAL Co (MT S•IIIARTIAL. Tuesday a General Courtmartial assembled at the Royal Barracks, Dublin, President, Colonel Webber Smith, R.A., for the trial of private Laurence Cahill, 47th regi ment, for striking his superior fficer. Someday private Patrick Flynn was tried for desertion, and m,king away with his regimental neces,aries and ap pointments. Wednesday the depot of the 7th regiment, or Royal Bri tish Fusileers, consigting of the following force, arrived in Kingstown Harbour, Dublin, from England :—One field officer, three captains, two subalterns, and 240 men, Major Lord William Thynne in command. The troops were to disembark on Wednesday morning and march for Newbridge, to re ieve the depot of the 99th regiment, who have received the route for England. (From the Limerick Chronicle.) 1 Monday the depot companies of the 32.1 regiment, under Major Palk, marched from Ternplemore for Clonmel ; and the depot companies of the 23d Fusileers, from Clonmel for Templeinore. This change is ascribed to altercation between privates of the 32 , 1 and 67 h depots. The 30'h, 47th, and 59th Regiments, and second bat talion 60• h Mies are the next corps for foreign service. The '7tla Fusileers depot have disembarked from the Sylvia transport, at Portsmouth, and the intention of transferring them to Ireland is for the present abandoned. In conformity with the system of reduction applicable to all the cavalry, excepting those of the King's House. hold and the corps of the India establishment, the follow ing Dragoon Regiments have now only one Major each -3d Dragoon Guards, 4th Dragoon Guards, sth Dragoon Guards, 2 , 1 Dragoons, 3d Light Dragoons, 6ih Dragoons, '7th Hussars, Sch Hussars, 9th Lancers, 10th Hussars, 12th Lancers, 14th Dragoons, and 17th Lancers. The present mouived appointments for Field Officers of Infantry are to be exchanged for a Hussar saddle with a black sheepskin. The holsters are set on low and far beck, so as to admit of a rolled cloak being strapped in ft ont. White waistbelts are to be worn by Field Officers in dress uniform. The bullion straps at present worn on the shoulders of the blue undress frock in the regiments of he line are to be discontinued, and shell epaulets similar to those worn in undress by the Officers of heavy cavalry are to replace them. To distinguish the services the wrap of the infantry is to consist of blue cloth bound and edged with go , d lace instead of the brass laminae worn by Dra. goon Officers. COLONIAL SLAVERY.

TREVELYAN.—In working out the moral of this admirable novel, the author has shown the same skill as was manifested in her former tale of " A Marriage in High Life," wherein, with rare power, she moulded at will the sympathies of her readers. " Trevelyan" is the story of a guardian and his ward. The incidents are affecting to the last degree, and the characters are finished with infinite spirit, and individuality. Nothing can ex ceed the fixing interest of many of the scenes ; and the fable occasionallly diverges into matters of the most deli cate nature ; the dignified purity with which they are managed is worthy of high a Irniration, PORTSMOUTH.—The following circumstances have appeared before our Magistrates this week :—The ship Marianne, Clalzen master, having on board 212 Polish refugees, bound to the United States, has been detained in this port, wind bound, the last five weeks. The ship was taken up by the Prussian Government, for the purpose of conveying these men from that country to America, under an agreement, that on their arrival they were to he paid a sum of about 60 dollars each. The ship was oblige 1 to put into this port by stress of weather, and the Poles appeared to be very comfortable, and ex• pressed their willingness to proceed to America, till Sun day last, when a Polish officer arrived from London, and communicated to them that the Poles of Harwich and Havre, who were similarly situated, had obtained permis sion from the French Government to 'land in France or Algiers ; upon which the Poles here refused to p roceed to America, and which to leave the ship on the following day. The necessary steps being taken on Monday for their leaving the ship, they peremptorily re'useil either to proceed to America or to leave the ship. The next day (Tuesday), the wind being favourable for sailing, the pilot gave direction for the heaving of tIL. anchor, and as the crew were at the windlass for that purpose, the Po'es rushed forward and forced the handspikes from them, shying they were determined the ship should not proceed. They took possession of the ship, and from their violent and threatening conduct, the captain applied to the civil authorities for protection, as he could not put to sea with out endangering his life. Depositions of the facts were taken, and communication had with the Secretary of State, and also with the Prussian Ambassador. Thus the case stands at present. —Hants Telegraph. ON THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC AND THE PAClFlC.—Captain Phillips, R.N., communicated to the Society some valuable information, received from a merchant for thirty years acquainted with the country, as to the practicability of opening a direct communication between San Juan de Nicaragua and San Juan del Sul, on the Pacific. This, in his informant's opinion, might be easily effected, by cutting a canal from the Nicaragua to the port of San Juan del Sul, and by establishing steara-boats on the lake and river of San Juan de Nicaragua. On comparing this project with that of the road proposed to be made from La Trinidad to Cbor rera or Panama, its advantages, says Captain Phillips, are obvious: " for the former passage leads alone to the Pacific, whilst the passage by San Juan de Nicaragua would affect the whole commerce of Costa Rica and cen tral America, and most likely be the means of a commer cial transit to the South Seas." Three ports in the Pacific are likely to be of use in the proposed communication— the port of Real Lejo, distant about fourteen leagues from the town of Leon, with a harbour capable of containing even line-of-battle ships: San Juan del Sul, fourteen leagues distant from Nicaragua, a perfectly secure port, with four faihoins water close to the shore, and considered a healthy situation; and Puenta d'Arena, a safe and com modious port in the gulph of Nicoya, on the Pacific, from whence a direct intercourse is maintained with all parts of Costa Rica, by a road twenty-six leagues in length. From Guatemala, the capital of central America, to Car tago Interior, in Costa Rica, is a distance of four hundred leagues; the road passes through the towns of San Anna Grande, San Salvador, San Miguel, San Carlos, whence it cross, a the bay of Fons,ca, and so onward through Pueblo Viejo, Chinandega, Leon, Pueblo Nuevo, Margo roti, Matiares, Managua, Massaya, Grenada, Nicaragua, San Juan a Casti, Esparsa, Ala Huela, Heredia, San Jose, and Cartago. When it is considered that this great road passes from town to town in a direct line—that a communication is kept up by post, and by Airrieros— that the proposed canal to San Juan del Sul intersects it —it all speaks in terms most favourable as to San Juan del Sul being the moat desirable position for the passage to take place. COURT CIRCULAR The Duke of Cumberland dined with the Duke of Welling-on on Friday at Aps'ey House. His Royal Highness afterwards honoured Prince Talleyrand and the Duchess de Dino with his company at the entertainment given by his Excellency and the Duchess at their residence in Hanover-square. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria at tended Divine Service yesterday, and their Royal High ness's Hou , ehold. The Dean of Chester officiated. The Duke of Cumberland went to Kew on Saturday, and ret , .rned to his residence in St. James's Palace yes- terday. Lady Flora Hastings and Lady Theresa Strangeways have b e en appointed Ladies of the Bedchamber to her Royal Highn.es the Duchess of Kent. The Lord Chancellor entertained the Cabinet Ministers at dinner on Saturday evening, at his residence in Great Stanhope-street. There were present Earl Grey, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Rioon, Viscount Melbourne, she Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Carlisle, Viscount P ilmerston, Mr. Secretary Stanley, Viscount Althorp, Sir James Graham, and Lord John Russell. In the course of the evening Lord Holland joined the party. The Baron de Wessenberg, the Austrian Special Minister, visited the Russian Ambassador yesterday. The Jadicial Committee of the Pt ivy Council sat to hear appeals, on Saturday, in the Council Chamber. The same Lords of the Privy Council were present as on Friday. The first case was a motion ship Preter Anthony, Demerara. This was a petition from the Vice-Admiralty Court of Demerara. Dr. Dodson appeared to support it. An appeal to their Lordships had not been lodged within the year, and the present application was for leave to do so now. Their Lordships granted the application. Representatives of Itlussuteut Seetul Bahoo against Bahoo Hurkissen Doss, Bengal. Messrs. Miller and Wigram, for the appellants, argued against the decree of the Court below. That decree was founded on a report made by arbitrators appointed to in vestigate the partnership accounts of the parties to this suit but went much beyond t h a t re p ort, in re g arding a , certain sum as the balance due by the appellants to the respondents, at the same time reserving the right of the appellants to make objections against certain items of those accounts. The arbitrators had expressly stated that their report was incomplete, owing to the non-pro duction of certain books. The application ought to have been made to the authorities in India, to enforce the pro duction of the boaks, and no sum ought to have been awarded as a balance until the deduction claimed by the appellants had been settled. Mr. Sergeant Spankie, for the respondents, contended that there had been,ample materials for the decree given ; the appellants had lost their right to make any deductions, by delaying so long the production of certain books, which would have decided the items objected against ; they had merely offered .copies of those books, and could not even authenticate them as correct copies; the original hooks had been either in the possession of the appellants or of parties over whom they had control. Their Lordships gave judgment in this appeal.—The partnership was dissolved in 1797, and this suit was in stituted in 1806, by the respondents bringing an action for a sum alleged to be due on the balance of the partner ship accounts. The Provincial Court made a decree (on the finding of arbitrators), that a certain balance was due against the appellants, with permission, if there were any ground for the objections taken by the appellant against items of the accounts, to bring an action to recover on the objection. The arbitrators' report on which this decree was founded was incomplete for want of certain books. The appellant then applied by petition to the Sudder Dewauny Adawlut, stating that they could produce the books in question, and praying that they might be taken in evidence. The Sudder Detvauny Adawlut dismissed the petition, and affirmed the decree Their Lordships were of opinion that the decree of the Solder Dewauny Adawlut should be reversed.

Horace Walpole's Correspondence with Sir Horace Mann, Lord Dover, (the Editor) justly observes is the most interesting that as yet has appeared. The letters are the only ones which give an account of the time when his father, Sir Robert Walpole left office. They are more full than any other of political anecdotes, and sketches of characters of passing events, while they are not inferior in the vivacity of their style, in the brilliancy of their wit, in the variety of their anecdotes, and in the elegance of their narrations.— Gentleman's Magazine. On Saturday an inquest was held at the Fox and French Horn, Back-hill, Clerkenwell, on the body of Edward Stokes, a miserab:e bone picker, living in the neighbourhood of Mutton-hill. It bad long been known that he had s tved a large sum of money, part of whiAl he had placed in the Bank. On one occasion he gave in formation that he had been robbed, when Waddington, of H a tton -garden, proceeded to his hovel, and on searching with the deceased, he found in one corner of the place 400 farthings, covered over with dirty linen. Waddington was of opinion that he had not been robbed. One indivi dual, who had several young daughters, to one of whom the old fellow seemed to be very partial, once said, " Mr. Stokes, if you should happen to die without a will, all your money will go to the King ; I hope you will leave it to my daughter ;" on which he turned pale and trembled, and said lie would never le; the King have his money, be would rather bury it in the earth. It was added that every dog in the neighbourhood always barked and flew at him, because he was in the habit of taking their bones from them. For several days past he had been missing, and on Mountetevens, the beadle of Clerkenwell, entering the place, he found the deceased lying dead. His bones nearly protruded through his skin. A purse, containing a con ccierable sum of money, was found, as well as a document, entitling the deceased to receive several hundred pounds, a receipt for 1061., invested in the Three per Cents., 137 sovereigns, a silver watch, and gold seals. It is suspected that some one had entered the place before the beadle. — Verdict—Natural death. NEWS FROM PORTUGAL LISBON, FEB. I.—The success which has happily at tended the arms of her Most Faithful Majesty during th e monih which has expired, must have left little or nothing on which the Usurper anti his partisans can now rest their hopes. Faro, Marvao, Leiria, Lagos, Torres Novas, and Pernes have in rapid succession witnessed the triumphs of freedom over the forces end evil machinations of the despot. At this moment it is questionable whether Santarem itself he in possession of Miguel, or if it be, how many hours he will be able to hold it. On every side victory has crowned the brave exertions of the Constitutional troops, without one instance of a doubtful result, anti for the most part teainst superior numerical forces. On the morning of th e 3d of January, at four o'clock, Colonel Barao de Stares marched out of Faro, with 400 infantry and 60 cavalry, and being joined by 300 more of infantry at Al hart, he proceeded against the enemy at Bitavista, and by ten o'clock was master of the field. The loss of Oa enemy was 180 men, killed and wounded, three pieces of artillery, with all their baggage, including ammunition, provisions, &c., for 1.500 m. n ; the loss of the Consti u tionaists wee four officers and nineteen caeca (ores, of wla7ch latter two are since dead. The enemy teas a'tove 1,000 strong, under the command of a Guerilla Chief named , Camacho, among rshose papers were found a letter from tread-quarters, urging the necessity of keeping up the hopes anti spirits of his people, by assuring thein that the English Government bad consented to send out a squadron to bloekade Lisbon, upon condition of holding Madeira in possession for ten years, and various other matters equally unfounded. On the 6th of January, the Miguelites at Portalegre marched out in a body of about 2,000 men against Mar ear, ; they were repulsed with great bravery, and pursued in their flight by a body of cavalry, which completely cut to pieces the battalion call-d that of the Is'es, who heat come with Don Pedro from the Azores, and afterwards deserted. Seme accounts state that they were pursued to Castello de Vide, and that their loss in killed and wounded amounted to nearly 1,500 men. Despatches from General Count de Saldanha announce that on the 15th of January he entered Leiria, took entire possession of the place, with all the enemy's baggage, and in such a way that the victory could not be more com plete. The Governor of the town anti about 15 other officers were t aken prisoners, besides 107 petty officers and men. The girt ison of the pl ace consisted of about 1,500, and as the rout was so complete, the number of prisoners may be thought small, but the reason is, the slaughter was so great. The men could not be restrained ; they remembered the brutal massacre of their imprisoned friends at Alcacer, and they amply revenged it. The enemy were pursued in their flight towards Coimbra, which city not above 80 or 90 reached. The road was strewed with their dead bodies. Oa the 18th of the same month the Miguelites were again beaten at Lagos, with great loss in killed and wounded. This is the second time that the troops of Lagos have signalised themselves against an enemy supe rior in force to themselves, while the want of a small body of cavalry has prevented their making their victory final. The effect of these continual triumphs of the Consti• tutional arms, joined with the misery arising from disease and privation amongst the numerous population of San tarem, must have brought Miguel and his followers at length to some sense of their danger. On the 22d of January, at seven o'clock in the evening, a person arrived in Lisbon and sought one of the servants of the Palace, to whom Le delivered a le ter addressed to him, under an assurance from toe latter that he should be safe. This letter contained another addressed to " his Imperial Ma jesty Don Pe iro d'Alcantara, any brother" (this is the Portuguese manner). Den Pedro was at this time with his a-my. The servant af. er some hesitation agreed to keep the letter till his Imperial Majesty should return ; on which occasion he delive , efl the letter, recounting the manner in wnich he had received it. It was sealed with black wax, on which were impressed the Royal arms. Dun Pedro seeing it was from his brother, said to the servant, " Take the letter, seek the bearer of it, and de liver it to him, in order that he may convey it to my brother, with where I do not desire to treat, and from whom I will not receive any correspondence. In giving tire letter take a receipt from the barer, in which he de clares that he receives the same letter which he brought with such a superscriptien; and if you do not meet wits, him, seek means to send th s l-tter to the hands of my brother, who little knows me, and who dares to measure my honour by his own cowardice and unworthiness." On the 25th January General Saldanha took Torre. Novas, with exceeding loss to the en-my; their famous cavalry of Chaves, an which they muc a prided themselves for their fidelity and bravery, were completely annihilated; a captain of the regiment, with 78 of his men, were taken prisoners; the number of horses was uncertain, but 72 were collected when the despatch was written. The Ge neral assures us that, however singular it may appear, not one of his own men was wounded. On the 30th of January, General Saldanha was attacked at Perties by the Miguelites from Santarem, in a body amounting to 4,000 men, while at the same time another attempt was made upon the Duke of Terceira's forces, at Porte d'Asseca These attempts were alike unsuccessful. In that upon Saldanha, they lost about 800 prisoners, besides an immense number of killed and wounded. We have not yet full particulars of these engagements, but report says the loss to the enemy is dreadful. Dan Pedro went up yesterday morning to the army. (From the Lisbon Papers.) LISBON, JAN 22.—His Imperial Majesty the Duke of Bragsnzt, accompanied by the Minister of War, set ow this mornitiz, at n►ne o'clock, for the army before Santarem. LISBON, JAN. 23.—His Imperial Majesty arrived at Cartaxo on the 22d, at three in the afternoon. This morning, at eleven, he was reviewing the troops of the Queen. The Portuguese schooner, Escudella, in the service of the Government, from Faro, has brought word that on the 3d of this month, 700 men of the garrison cf Faro made a sally, and attacked the rebels to the number of above 1,000 near Bo 'vista. The Miguelites were com pletely routed, losing three pieces of cannon, some ammu nition and baggage, and about 100 men killed, wounded, and prisoners.- LISBON, JAN. 24.—Her Most Faithful Majesty Donna Maria It., is rasher indisposed with a cold. The Duke of Breganza arrived to-day from Cartaxo, on his return from the at my, by which he was received with the greatest enthusiasm, as well as by the inhabitants of all the country through which he passed on his road. His Majesty was highly satisfi-d with the discipline and good appearance of the army, and with the judgment with which the positions ut the several volunteers were chosen. JAN. 27.—We have no news from the territorial authorities, nor anything of importance from the army before Santarem, but it is confirmed that the situation of the rebels in that town is desperate. The accounts from Lagos, of the 17th and 18th of January, are as favourabl- as can be wished. The Go vernor and garrison of that place, by their firmness and valour, maintain the honour of the invincible liberating army to hich they belong. His Imperial Majesty received this morning the Minister of War, who brought him the satisfactory official intelli gence that the army of operations, commanded by Count Saldanha, had entered Torres Novas on the 26eu, beating and rowing the whole of the enemy's force stationed there, killing or taking prisoners all that ventured to resist, very few of the enemy having been able to save themselves by precipitate flight. We took 78 prisoners and 72 horses, completely equipped, belonging to the cavalry of Chaves. JAN. 28,.—We are happy to announce to our readers the official accounts from Torres Novas, as well as th, arrival of an official despatch from Faro, of sth January, relating a new victory obtained by the garrison over the rebels, in their camp at Boavista. Two more victories adorn the triumph of legitimate liberty, and of its noble defenders. The Count de Saltianha has, with his usual valour and talent,-struck another blow, disastrous to the Usurper. The best support of treason is annihilated. The cavalry of Chaves, which the rebels considered as the palladium o! .he usurpation, no longer exists. This vie ory, that al Faro, that at Lagos, which we mentioned before, the scat Alemtejo, Egrernadura, awl almost the whole of OR most important part of Alinho, announces the speedy stud tragical end of the usurpation. The perfidious enetnie , of the country are ruined, but the clemency of him who shall t 5 , in a v v ye e idt longer desires nmh t lat saveo eiceett re,.ehfa: tmo t h i eec t I, n o t possible to delay nre persist ht ; :elves: the virtues of the august liberator are more eaves eitteho:lsed,tabyt„hot i tt 0, : a t i l t, l ne s t a;e ms t ee i w e . en h - 0 n till f JAN. 29.—We know from unquestionable authori , y that the reverse at Torres Novas has made an immen , • impression at Santarem, where the chiefs of the usurpation fear on the part of the soldiers, a terrible proof of their being undeceived. It was reported to-day that there was every indication of their intending to abandon Santarem. We do not give this news as certain, hut it is very probable, because the left wing of our army having cut off all nal sources from the north, must have reduced them to an insupportable siege, from the immediate consequences of which nothing can save them but retreat towards the south. Jaw 31.—His Majesty, being informed yesterday night that there was a battle between the loyal troops and terrols, immediately sent to the army his Aideole-camp and the Camm ander-in-chief of the Artillery ; and this mornituzi at seven o'clock, accompanied by the Minister of Wars set out for the liberating army. A little past norm his . Excellency the Minister of Justice came to inform OW Duchess of Braeanza of a new victory gained over the re'.els in Pernes Vallada anal the Pont d'Assees. At six in the evening official news was brought to her Imperial Majesty that tl , e rebels had suffered a complete d e feat yesterday, having left in our hands 800 prisoners, 13 officers, four pairs of colours, &c. (OFFICIAL.) Most illustrious Sir,-1 have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of his Imperhil Majesiy, the Duke of Brair.anza, that the enemy today made a allow of attacking me position, and, to fic ilitate this o hj ct o landed some infantry and cavalry at Vall ada, endeavouring' at the same time to intimidate me, by threatening to cut off my communication with Lisbon; but I immediately i.rdered Brigadier Nepomuc-no de Mace to to ,;.bserve motions of the enemy's line, and if possible to dia:se.nt in order to give me time to push a force to the si..e threatened. The enemy no Kotler saw our cavalry than they gave up their project, and began their retreat, un happily in time to embark, under cover of sotne pieces of artillery placed on the south bank of t::e Taus; me n time some shot were fired ,it the Ponte d'Asseea, hut thn enemy appeared in such small numbers, that it was not necessary to employ any force to repulse them; only the picquets fired a f•w musket shot. At three in the afternoon I heard a heavy cantionasde itlt the direction of the road from Pernes to Santarem, and immediately thought it miebt proceed from the attack made on the enemy by the Conde de S,ldanha. 'was' not mistaken, for at half-past four C•iptain Jervis arriv"- , '% at my head-quarters, sent by the Count de Sal.lanha tai inform me that he had attacked the enemy's force, which he observed on the wing of his force in the 'fore der Bispo ; that he compelled the enemy to a shameful flight, taking above 800 prisoners, 13 officers, and four pair of colours, and that the Count de Saldanba himself was at the bridge of Val de Lobos, half a league from Santarem. —God preserve your Excellency. Quinta de Riheira, Jan. 30, 1834. (Signed) The Duke DE TERCEIRA. To his Excellency Senhor Agostinho Jose Feeire. —Lisbon Chronica, to Feb. 1. inclusive. (From the Supplement to the Lisbon Chronica Constitucional.) LissoN, JAN. 31.—We are informed, on unquestion able authority, that the liberating army has gained a new and signal victory over the enemy. We have not yet received the official account, but we expect it every mo ment. Our object at present is to endeavour to satisfy the public anxiety, by muting, though in a few word, what we know to be true on this important matter. Yesterday afternoon, near Pernes, Goint S thianha was attacked by a body of the enemy, of about 4,000 strong, which our men briskly repelled, and utterly destroyed the force. We took more than a thousand prisoners, and amongst them one whole battalion of regiment No. 17, -even pieces of artillery, and some standards. In the meantime the Duke of Terceira, who had been attacked in a position on the bridge of Asseca, but unsuccessfully, and with a considerable loss to the Mien-14es, despatched a body of the cavalry-to chastise the 1,700 of the enemy which had marched from the southern to the northern part of the Tejo. By this movement the whole of the force was dispersed; those of them that escaped plunged into the river, where the greater number perished. The enemy, routed at every point by our valiant troop., were seen in perfect confusion. We now consider this army as entirely extinct. (From the Chronica Constitucional of Lisbon, Jan. 29.) TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR. " Illustrious and Ext;ellent Senhor,—lt is with the utmost satisfaction that 1 have the honour of transiniting o your Excellency, for the insorination of his Itnp-rial Majesty the Duke of Braganza, Commander.in•Chief of lie Liberating Army, that the prestige of the cavalry of Chaves has taken flight, and the greeter portion of this .•avalry is annihilated. Your Excellency is aware of the importance in which the rebels held this corps, the only :ne in the enemy's army which supplied no contingent to he Queen's regiments. Our excellent soldiers were quite ',litmus for an encounter with them, and very luckily I iad an opportunity at apportioning them to the occasion which they so mach desired. Having requested Lieut.- Colonel Jose de Vasconcellos, charged with the covet nment if Leiria, to move to /Wet da Cruz, and then to Oorem, and before daylight this morning they marched on this town. The nature of the ground very much favoured this movement, and warned the picquets of the enemy to , et ire without their showing a greater force than a single squadron. A: a short distance from the town, knowing that the enemy had, besides 200 horses, a body of 200 infantry from the Royalist battalions of this City and of Santarem, a halt was made, in the hope that a column commanded by Brigadier Schwelbach would come up, when arrangements could he made so as to allow the ca • valry to take the two branches into which the road was divided. The Quartermaster-General accompanied the companies on the right, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Simao de Costa Pessot ; and Brigadier Bacon followed with the rest, who advanced on the left. The squadron on the right were the first to enter the town, from which the enemy had already withdrawn his infantry, so that in Roucio a few more than 40 horses were found in Hoe and the rest in column on the left. Our brave fellows did not hesitate an instant in charging the enemy, whom they pursued to a distance of more than two leagues, and who twice attempted to.rally, but with the same success each time. The obstinacy of the enemy so enraged our intl. .tiers, that it was exceedingly difficult to make them give quarter. The consequence was, that the number killed was considerable, and we took 78 prisoners, amongst whom was Captain Antonio Pereira of Fonseca, all of the regiment of Chaves. We cannot give the exact account of the horses, but we have already '72 horses, with their caparisons, and prepared for duty. I can assure your Ex cellency upon my honour that we have not had a single mrse or a .ingle man wounded, with the exception of the 'rave Captain Jos- de Vasconcellos, adjutant oi the rrgi nent of cavalry No. 10, who, for an instant being in the enemy's power, was slightly bruised. " The courage and firmness of our cavalry cannot be described ; and even these were scarcely equal to the spirit lispla)ed by the infantry. " The battalion of Cagadorea No. 12, the regiment 3 of. infantry is high forms the van, went on in double quick time, notwithstanding the excessive heat. " Colonel Pitnen• el bestows the highest praise on Lieut. Colonel Sunao da Costa Pessoa, on Captain V .sconc.llrs, of the 10th Cavalry, sod on C. Joao de Mello, Captain of the Lancers. Brigadier BdCOR likewise commands ttiose officers, as he also does Captain Wakefield and Lieutenant Skipworth. Lieutenant-Colonel Pessoa presented io me the Terena, of the 10th Regitn•nt, as the person who :post distinguished himself. Tne whole of the officers who advanced with the squadron on the right are full of praises of the volunteer Joaquim Ignacio, and have recoil' - inend , d him to the consideration of his Imperial MaJery, adding still further to his merits the statement that the l p l a h n e o a ct u s t o t . b g e r o x a o c v d e e l ir i c ay e o n n conduct, u o : ccfat theiati sess e h ed d o , I no c t om th m e a re n t d o e r d e am squadron o t n h their officers voxenagml enl of the te military tended a i n, p v e ai c mt u he l os i v a .t r tovy When permissions e h n e m w ; e r b e u tu t,.. nl as they entered into the charge Gulega, which took four prisoners. i fa voluntee rm b u e i h nc a h v at e ' behaved civilbh w rai i sn t h grbee: " God preserve your Excellency.
