PORTUGAL. (From the Times Correspondence.) (FURTHER PARTICULARS. " LISBON, AUG. 26.—The immense resources which Lisbon possesses are being made available, in order to sur round the capital with defensive works and redoubts, i❑ the same manner that Oporto was fortified. Many thou- sand men are occupied in the formation of lines, some forts have been erected, in which artillery is already placed, and so early as four o'clock in the morning the Duke of Braganza is to be seen amongst the workmen, and ap peared to communicate to all employed a portion of his own natural activity. General Sildanha arrived here yesterday from Oporto, and two steam-boats, with several other small vessels, have brought down here the sth Ca qadores, and 15th Infantry, being about 1,000 men, of the garrison of that city; the greater portion of the remainder will follow immediately, vessels being chartered for that purpose, as well as to convey the horses of the Lancers and other cavalry. " The lately besieging army of Oporto having passed to Estremadura, has united itself to the late garrison of Lisbon, and the forces which accompanied the Visconde de Molellos, in his flight from the south, forming, accord ing to various accounts, from 15,000 to 20,000 men, the greater part badly clothed and shod, and i❑ the worst spirits. This force has stretched from Obidos and Caldas to Santarem, and thence, re-passing the Tagus, has reached Sarnora and Salvaterra, 10 leagues from Lisbon. To the northward they keep at a shorter distance from us, but move about in incursive parties, never remaining quiet or stationary. From all the information that can be gained, it is not supposed to be the immediate intention of the enemy to invest the capital ; but to secure to theraselves the two strong positions of the Tagus, Abrantes and San tarem, and thus retain the mastership of the most fertile and productive portion of the Alemtejo. The news brought from the country this morning does not lead us to believe that the enemy is more closely approaching the city, but rather that they have retired from Salvaterra and Sarum to unite with their main bodies, that their detached forces may not be cut off by the various bands of Constitutional mounted guerillas and volunteers who are scouring the province. In Algarve the enemy has suffered much loss, and in several skirmishes in the neigh bourhood of Faro and Lagos no quarter was given to the guerillas, and the major part of the enemy's troops in that district have retired to the neighbourhood of Evora, where it is deemed probable the head quarters of the enemy's division will be established. The Duke of Terceira is at Villa Franca, and receives daily reinforcements from hence, which be organises in the best manner he can : nearly all the regular troops that are considered fightable are with him, and if he should deem it advisable to make a retreat, he will be covered and supported by the vessels of war and their crews, the greater part of which have been sent up the river to co-operate in any manner with that di vision of the army. The road from this place to Villa Franca (seven leagues) runs along the margin of the river neatly the whole distance, and the Tagus be ing very wide there, no artillery could reach the vessels from the opposite shore. The Lisbon people wish General Bourmont and the rest of his French companions at the -; they say it is only through those persons that a portion of the country people continue to be seduced from industrious occupations to become freebooters, and that they being foreigners, and have nothing at stake in the country, do not care into what state of anarchy and disorder they precipitate it. The inhabitants of Cintra have nearly all fled to the city, and hundreds of boats have come down the river laden with furniture and families who have abandoned their own homes to seek safety in town. The new-formed national battalions amount to nearly 7,000 men ; part of them are in uniform, all in arms ; and they begin to go through their exercise in a regular manner. If they only rival the inhabitants of Oporto, all will be well, now and henceforward ; not that 1 consider the contest otherwise than virtually decided, as I am quite satisfied that the more the Miguelitea fight, the more they will be thrashed. "A straw thrown up will tell how the wind blows. I went a dozen miles into the country the other day, and not only on my way, but in one considerable village, no ticed upon the door of every cottage in the place one of those miraculous prints of a cross, with certain mystical letters within and about it, bequeathed by St. Zacharias as a wholesome remedy for the plague (the name among the common people for cholera morbus), the sale of which bit of paper was one of the many manoeuvres of the priest hood for getting hold of the pence. One of the female inhabitants with whom I talked on the subject told the that some of the fine folks who lived in the city laughed at all those thing., but that every body thereabouts knew that it was a stare protection for all who had faith in the Lord. When the numbers, wealth and influence of the clergy are taken into consideration, their power over a❑ ignorant population, always accustomed to look up to them both as their spiritual and temporal lords and mas ters, may easily be imagined. The city has been entirely flee from excesses of any kind, eZeept those entirely of a political nature ; perhaps halt a dozen persons have been assassinated by the mob the open streets. One of the victims was a ro i ;f-maker, who furnished halters to the hangman ; and in the red-hot zeal of his Royalism, offered Doi; Miguel a gratuitous supply of 1,000 for the use of Mal hadoe. Two others lost their lives yesterday afternoon in Black Horse•equare : a party of about 60 guerilla prisoners were landed there from the opposite side of the river, and had scarcely put foot on shore when it was discovered that one of their number was a Franciscan friar : the mob instantly cried out Kill him ! kill him!' and in less than two minutes (the guard being insufficient for their protection) I saw the lifeless bodies of the old friar, a gray headed man of 60, and one of his companions, extended upon the quay. "Three young midshipmen in Donna Maria's service rode out on donkies yesterday, on the other side of the river, and were attacked by a party of robbers ; one of them, of the name of Sayers, was killed by a musket-shot, and the other two escaped to their ship severely beaten. A party of marines was sent on shore in search of the criminals, and owing to the assistance of the country people, two of them were apprehended, one of whom is the man who fired the fatal shot. They are at present prisoners on board the Don John, but will, in all proba bility, be handed over to the civil power to await a tardy DC never-coming trial. (eaoar ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) " AUGUST 26, 10 P.M.-Yesterday we had the plea sure of seeing General Count Saldanha arrive from Oporto. As soon as he landed he went to the Necessidades, and dined with the Duke of Braganza, and after dinner went in a chaise with his Imperial Majesty to the arsenal, and attended to the landing of the sth Cacadores regiment. The Emperor mounted, and in a colonel's uniform, with Saldanha on his right, headed the regiment, which marched through the principal streets of Lisbon, where crowds of people were assembled, who received these brave defenders of freedom with every possible demonstration of joy. The arrival of Saldanha will have a great moral effect upon our pop - ul ation, and strike the Miguelites with terror. " COlonel Hare accompanied the Duke of Terceira when he left this for the army. " An exprets has arrived this moment from Coimbra, and brings the fo!!ovring news:- 44 Count San Locreago has asked his dismissal as Mi nister of War, and Marsl.l' l Bourrnont has been named to that situation, without losing ,;try of his other places. " Colonel Campbell is so disgusted With affairs here, that he went to Figueira to embark for England, and not finding a vessel, is now going to Spain ; the sane happens to Carlos Mathias Pereira, who bought the steat.ners for Don Miguel in England. 44 Viscount Santarem has asked for his diamissal. The Spanish Minister, M. Cordova, is gone to Abrai;tes, where all the Infantas and Don Carlos are following. .This is the road to Elvas and Spain. The Marquis of Tanct,:- Don Miguel's intimate friend and Aide-de-Camp, died on the 19th, in Coimbra, of the cholera. (FRO3I ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) " Aucusz 24.—The Lisbon Chronicle of the 23d instant contains an official communication from the chief magistrat e of the city of Beja, in Alemtejo, stating that having learnt that a body of nearly 1,000 guerillas had assembled at Ouri que' he had proceeded there on the 14th, with the wh o l e force at his disposal, including a corps of Constitutional Volunteers, which had just before joined him from Lisbon, and 30 dcom t pl k e i t n ely routed and put them t, 0 flight, after killing and a i‘ In Lisbon itself evesrnyothw master ingcgo of n i t 7 inu p e r s iso i n n er st . atu quo. all the co un t r y Don Pedro, however , is within 2(3 miles on the ri g ht h an k of the T being, more or l ess , the boundary ag Lord Wellington's lines, his dominion for the p resent ; and the Du ke of Terceira of has gone to esta blish his head-quarters at Alhandra, a town twenty miles up the river. A corps of 4,000 men, being the advanced guard of the army destined to attack the capital, has now occupied Santarem for some days, and, it is believed, will await the arrival of the main body before proceeding any further. As the position is one of immense strength, and tenable by a comparatively Intet'sltitill force against tar superior numbers, the Duke has • • 1 Z not ind d _ it prudent to attack it ; BO tha t DO collisi o n :. has as is: en place, with the exception of some skit.- m fire n the reconnoitring parties sent out from _,..... ea c h ne of which four police dragoons, a nd a fear` ' _ `'rs were taken prisoners and sent into Lis bon- u day last. The intervening space hetwevn .o. the two advanced guards swarms with guerillas--some Pedroite, some Miguelite, and some who, like Drawcansir in the Rehearsal, declare war to both sides, and plun der all indiscriminately. This is unfortunately the cha racter of most of the irregular corps. " I have seen a letter from an English merchant at Figueira, dated the 16th, stating that a body of about 1,600 Miguelites occupied that town; that a Council of War had been held the preceding day at Coimbra ; and that an immediate attack upon Lisbon was unanimously decided upon, for which purpose a force of about 24,000 men, including guerillas, was to be collected with all possible speed. The Leveret brig of war, which had been sent to Figueira at the request of the English residents there, and for their protection, returned here yesterday, having been refused admission by Don Miguel's authorities. She goes back to-morrow, accompanied by his Majesty's ship Stag, and with a positive demand to be admitted. " The ostentatious display of Constitutionalism made by the Rev. Franciscan fathers of this city (every one of whom wears some five or six yards of blue and white riband, in one form or another about his person) having excited a suspicion that all this apparent zeal for the liberal cause might be only a cloak to conceal machinations against it, their convent was surrounded by troops early on Thursday morning, and searched all over. The poor friars, however, hid been unjustly suspected, as nothing was found but an old rusty musket, though the first report was that 3,000 stand of anus, and 100 barrels of powder, had been discovered. " Bourmont and the other French officers have been notified by Colonel Guyot, aide-de-camp to Marshal Soult, to quit Don Miguel's service; but, being exiles, and having nothing to hope or to fear form France, they laugh at Marshal Soult and his orders. " The County of Pembroke steamer and two frigates arrived yesterday from Oporto, bringing about 900 men of the 9th and 15th Infantry, and some artillery. It is said that an equal number of the new Lisbon recruits are to be sent back in return. A foreign commercial house in Lisbon has offered to advance all that is yet wanting of the loan of SOO contos, at a rate not much below par; but the readiness with which the natives are coming for ward to complete it at par has induced Government to decline the offer. This day's Chronica contains a decree ordering every ecclesiastic or civilian taken in arms against the Queen's cause to be shot forthwith. The policy of this measure is very questionable ; for if, on the one hand, it may possibly inspire terror, on the other it will pro bably lead to a dreadful retaliation, and turn the contest into a war of extermination. " 8 P.M.—I have just this moment seen a copy of the telegraphic dispatch of this day from Lisbon to the next telegraph ; it is this Inform the Duke immediately that Mozinbo has sent word from Peniche that a division of the rebel troops came last night to Torres Vedras.' This being the case, the grand conflict is near at hand, as Torres Vedras is only 28 miles from Lisbon. " Auc. 26.—Yesterday General Sandanba arrived here with the sth battalion of Cagadores from Oporto, by the George IV., steamer. Don Pedro, dressed in the uniform of that corps, received them at the landing-place, and marched at their head to the quarters destined for their accommodation, amidst the most deafening cheers from the populace. This was the first battalion that declared for the constitution ; and it may be looked upon as the neuclus round which all the other defenders of the cause have agglomerated. At the time that Don Miguel assumed the regal title, it was in garrison at Terceira. " 63 prisoners were landed yesterday from St. Übes, escorted by 22 soldiers. They were assaulted by a nu merous mob on their way to St. George's Castle, and three of their number were barbarously murdered, besides many others severely wounded. No doubt they would have all been massacred had not a strong body of soldiers come in time to rescue them. A similar fate befel three English naval officers in Don Pedro's service, one of whom was shot dead, and the others are in great danger. Being confined to my room by illness this day, I have not yet been able to ascertain the particulars, but I hope to be able to give them to you in a postscript. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) " LIMN, Auc. 26.—1 t appears that the whole of Don Miguel's forces do not exceed 16,000 men, whom it is found very difficult to keep together. They are in want of everything ; they have no shoes to their feet, and are completely dispirited. The desertions are so great, that a police has been formed round the camp to prevent their recurrence, yet numbers have contrived to desert in spite of those means taken to check their flight. " General Lemos is at Santarem, but it appears that Don I%Jiguel's head quarters are at Leiria. " The Duke de Terceira (Villa Flor) is at Alhandi a, at the head of 6,000 troops of the line. " The fortifications round Lisbon are in a very forward state, and will be finished in four or five days. Upwards of 9,000 men already compose the civic guard, militia, &c., who are to defend these lines ; so that the troops of the Queen of Portugal are nearly equal in numbers to those of the insurgents, and greatly superior in discipline and moral courage, the latter having been beate❑ in every engagement for two months past, harrassed by long and forced marches, and, being entirely foiled in all their attempts upon Oporto, are brought by their desperate leaders to attack the capital." The following are extracts from the Portuguese jour yls The Duke de Braganza, Regent, ice., orders to be remitted 0 the Juiz do Crime of the district two uniforms belonging to sOldiers of the foreign corps of the liberating army, which were !Itscovered in the cabinet of the rebel Visconde de Santarem, with marks of blood upon them, and one of which had been pierced by a ball. And it is ordered by his Imperial Majesty that the said Juiz do Crime shall open judicial proceedings for the clearing up of this extraordinary occurrence, giving particulars by the Secretary of State for the Department of Justice of what is verified in this respect. " JOSE DA SILVA CARVALHO." " Palace of Necessidades, Aug. 16." (From the Morning Herald.) Llssox, Ana. 24.—The death of the King of Spain, of which there is, I believe, no longer any doubt, will, in all probability, give a new turn to the affairs of Don Miguel, end may enable him to protract the civil war in this kingdom. Don Carlos is still at Coimbra, and, ex cept taking short excursions in the neighbourhood, has never been away from that place since he went thither, some months back. Ten days ago a part of his suite were ordered to get the English vessel, which has been hired for his removal to Italy, ready for his immediate departure, and his baggage from the Palace of Ramalhao, near Quire, was already brought to the arsenal for ship ment; when, in consequence of the death of his brother, King Ferdinand, his suite have received orders to proceed to join him at Coimbra without delay. It is not difficult to see that Don Pedro and his ad herents are anxious to conquer the kingdom, and finally settle their own affairs in their own way, and by their own exertions, without the interference of other Powers. They have of late had examples enough of the mischief of putting themselves into the hands of diplomatists. At Oporto, Don Pedro certainly gave extraordinary proofs of patient perseverence, surrounded by every species of vexation. At Lisbon we see him at perfect liberty in the use of his ex traordinary powers, particularly in his selection of proper persons to fill the important situations of the Government in every department ; and by his own personal exertions, labouring incessantly from 18 to 20 hours daily, setting an example without parallel in any Prince of modern times. Indeed it does not require much penetration to see that the Duke of Braganza is no ordinary roan. When the Duke of Terceira landed in Lisbon on the 24th of July, he had less than 1,500 men ; and in one month Don Pedro has organised and got into a very forward state of discipline nearly 20,000 men, of which I send you a return below, besides many thousand Guerillas scouring the country in all directions.

Every shoemaker is put under coercive employment to furnish the army, and can give but a scanty supply. The gallant Admiral is unremitting in his exertions to send gunboats and other vessels with necessaries for the army op the Tagus, and is fitting out vessels to take possession of Madiera should it hold out, which is not expected. The Duke of Terceira and hie staff left Lisbon two days since for the north, and no doubt will soon give a good account of the enemy, who are reported to be suffer ing greatly for want of clothing and shoes. Except skirmishes of Guerillas the Alemtejo is con. sidered in a state of quietness. Don Mignel's object seems 10 be a concentration of ilia troop in the province of Beira, to make some bold effort, which Don Pedro is taking the most active and decisive measures to frustrate. Hoppner, I believe, leaves Lisbon by the packet. A. meeting of the merchants took place on Wednesday to pass a vote of thanks to him, and I believe a piece of plate is to be given to him by subscription. Nothing has arrived to disturb the general harmony here, except some false intelligence of some of the convicts having concealed a quantity of arms. A proper force was dispatched to search for them, but I do not hear that any were found. A few police soldiers are said to have been found who had taken refuge from the storm. FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) LISBON, Ana. 26.—0 n S Iturday afternoon arrived here the official intelligence of the death of Ferdinand King of Spain ; the event had been reported two days before, but upon uncertain authority. Don Carlos. it is probable, has by this time, left his friend Don Miguel, and gone into Spain to look after his own interests ; while Miguel himself is directing his march southward, but how far advanced is uncertain, excepting that he is somewhere on this side Coimbra. Those who still remain attached to the interests of the Usurper are willing to believe, and take pains in spreading the report, that he is at no great distance from Lisbon ; but, although it be true that people are flying from Torres Vedras, Mafra, and even Cintra, into Lisbon, it is not on account of the rapidity of Miguel's movements, but that those neighbourhoods have been more or less infested with bands of Miguelite Guerillas, whose works are plunder and destruction, and even mur der, wherever they make their appearance. On Saturday some troops marched from Lisbon on the road to Torres Vedras, consisting of one battalion of infantry, No. 1, another of infantry, No. 4, and three companies of No. 15, which had arrived from Oporto but a few days before ; for the plan is adopted of sending off by steamers the raw recruits to Oporto, and bringing back disciplined troops in their place, which can very well be spared from the lattercity, freed, as it is now, from the attacks of the enemy. The Duke of Terceira has, for the present, established his head quarters at Sobral, to the north of Lisbon, and General Schwalbach has taken up his quarters in Villa Franca, to the northeast of the capital. In a couple of days General de Saldanha is expected from Oporto, with another supply of veteran troops, consisting of infantry, Nos. 9 and 15, of which latter part have already arrived ; and the Rifle Corps, No. 5, and others, will speedily fol low. In the mean time, the spirit of the new recruits continues to mainfest itself by the cheerfulness and promptitude with which they attend to their duty, and the great steadiness which they uniformly observe. It appears, indeed, that it is not so much men that are wanted for the defence of the capital as small arms, of which there is some deficiency. The lines of defence round Lisbon are carried on with great rapidity ; and it is expected they will be completed this week. Don Pedro, whose indefatigable industry and personal inspection into every operation and institution does him the highest honour, visits the works almost every day, and under his eye every thing quickens and prospers._ s s s His Majesty's brig of war Leveret returned on Satur day from Figueira, to which place she had been sent, in order to afford protection to English persons and property, upon the information that some considerable disturbance had taken place there. On her arrival outside the bar of Figueira, the Commander was informed by an officer from the Governor of the town that not only he would not be allowed to come within the bar, but that it was contrary to the strict orders he had received to permit what he then requested, a personal communication with the English Consul, not even in the presence of any of their authorities. Under these circumstances the Commander addressed a letter to General Abreu (the General of the province), as a higher authority, and obtained by this means, on the following day, permission to land and wait on the General, to whose house he was attended from the landing-place by an Aid-de-Camp. The General received him with the utmost politeness, but said that the orders from Don Miguel were positively not to allow any communication with Lisbon. While at the General's house the Consul applied personally for an interview, but it was not granted; the General, how ever, with some difficulty permitted a letter from the Con sul to be put into his hands, which he opened in the General's presence; but he could on no account obtain the satisfaction of a personal interview with the writer. It is to be supposed that these strict measures were occa sioned by the news having reached of the formal acknow• leigment of Donna Maria by the British Government. The Leveret leaves the Tagus to morrow for St. Übes, where it is expected there may be some new attempt from some Miguelite troops (part of General Molellos's divi sion), which are said to be now on the south side of the Tagus, near Aldea Galega. It is reported in some quar ters that the Commander of the Leveret was detaided for some time at Figueira as a prisoner, but I have reason to believe this is not titre. It is reported this evening that General Saldanha has just arrived from Oporto. OronTo, AUG. 25.—Immediately after the evacuation of Villa Nova on Tuesday, the 20th instant, I crossed the Douro with innumerable inhabitants of this city, to inspect the batteries, which had given us so much annoyance du ring the protracted bombardment, to rejoice at the peril having passed, and our surviving it with a whole skin and unbroken bones, after seeing so many sacrifices fall on all sides. A great number of barricades and trenches obstructed the narrow streets, and steep paths leading to the Gaya in front of the hill, which it was very difficult to clamber over in the day time, and unopposed, and much more so would it have proved by night, or under a heavy fire. I found the Four mortar Battery in the rear of the fort, with embrasures for 10 long guns, still burning, as well as the houses behind it. The works themselves were of amazing strength and solidity, near 20 feet thick—otherwise they could not have withstood the fire kept up constantly upon them from this side. It was with no small satisfaction that I entered the now empty embrasure, from whence the Joao Paulo Cor deiro formerly vomited forth destruction upon the street I reside in, whence I watched every application of the match, and every alteration in the direction, with a spy glass, under no small anxiety, from guy window. The houses in front of the Gaya, and on the west side of the battery, were reduced to a heap of rubbish from the fire of the Pedroite batteries, which, being concentrated upo n one single point, did much more execution than theirs, spread over a town so extensive and solid as Oporto. The Gaya and Bandera batteries are to be preserved, being deemed sufficient, with the Serra, to protect Villa Nova. The Convent of the Serra is completely riddled with shot and shells. The statue of St. Augustine himself, which graces the portal of the church, had its head carried away by a cannon-ball from the defenders of the altar and the throne. In the church, where formerly devotees pros trated themselves, soldiers are now quartered; and th e altars, where the wonder-working reliques of saints were enshrined, are now loaded with cartridge-boxes, swords, and sword-belts, and the muskets and bayonets piled up before them, the miracles they performed being far more unquestionably established than the least incredible legend of the saints. The burnt-out wine-lodges of Villa Nova presented a most dismal sight. The burning wine ran near two feet deep through the street, as is proved by the red marks it left behind, and the very stones are yet impregnated with the odour of burnt wine, which they still exhale under the attenuating influence of the solar ray. The immortal gods of Paganism, the manes and tombs of heroes, and the altars of the celestial and infernal deities of credulous antiquity had never such libations poured out, nor such valuable holocausts burnt to honour them, as Don Miguel's revengeful spirit of despotism. Julian the Apostate, in his zeal for the short lived restoration of his gods, slew and sacrificed so many hecatombs, that it was feared cattle would grow scatce throughout the Roman empire, but the tyrant Miguel would have burnt and destroyed every drop of Port wine had his army been able to maintain its position one week longer on the banks of the Douro. The sublimity of the conflagration of Moscow has been much extolled, but the ocean of flames raised by Rostopshin has not been fed by anch a precious flood of grape juice as the execrable fire of Villa Nova. Fifteen thousand pipes of the Company's brandy, and 1,000 pipes of wine were said to have been burnt by the Miguelites at Arenilla previous to their retreat. But yesterday only this report was ascertained to be unfounded, they having left behind them there a park of heavy artillery unspiked, and a large quantity of ammu nition undestroyed, for want of time more probably than of inclination; fur the Duke of Lafoes and General Lemos had strict charge (" ordenes termivantes") to annihilate " , ing. In Villa Nova the Company has save d 3,000 -soing which wap a tank of P or t, 60 yea rs e p v ip e e rY s wine, . old, and almost white with „ b " The enemy having occupied Sanii:...f m ( 36 mile s dis aatened, to t a ut from Lisbon) with a great force, and attack the capital, the Emperor sent for General Saldanbar and all the disposable troops, who embarked on Friday, on board the George the Fourth steamer, and several transports, with about 1,000 men, Portuguese infantry; and left General Stubbs in the chief command of Oporto, who has already formed a Staff out of the Officers re maining, amongst whom is Colonel Bravo, the Gallant Sub-Commandant of the Serra. Pasleco, and the 10th regiment of infantry, likewise remain. But the of the Queen's Lancers, under Colonel Bacon, with all the horses of that regiment (220) are under orders to ear bark as soon as the ship St. George, and other cavalry transports can be got ready, which will be this evening or to-morrow, the former having already come over the 18,426 General Saldanha expressed his conviction that there is nothing to fear for Oporto, since not a Miguelite soldier is to be found within a circumference of nine leagues radius--especially as all the foreign infantry, and the 10th regiment of Portuguese Cavalry remain, and keep pos session of the enemy's works. But as it was yesterday reported that a Miguelite corps of 600 men was returning to Arenilla, General Stubbs ordered last night, after sun set, two troops of cavalry, and two or three battalions of infantry, over the bridge to the Serra, to scour the left banks of the river above the town. General Saldanha computes the deserters from the enemy since the 25th of July, at 900 men, who have been incorporated among the national troops, where many of them do duty in their white Miguelite uniforms. All the convalescents from the hospitals have been em barked for Lisbon, and thus no spare force is left to be detached to the north, to take possession of Braga and the artillery remaining there, now under the protection of the monks, or to stimulate other towns to declare for the Queen, which, it seems, requires the presence of an armed force. Had it not been for Saldanha's sortie on Sunday, the lath instant (when the Queen's troops advanced as far as Vallongo, took .SOO prisoners and one brass field piece, were joined by 100 deserters, and dispersed whole regi ments of the militia, who availed themselves of this op portunity to sneak away from the army, whilst the cavalry, charged to watch and restrain them, was engaged), Villa Nova would, perhaps, not have been evacuated yet, nor a stone left standing. General Saldanha's plan was very well laid, and had the British brigade from the Foz, which had a very long way to march, arrived a couple of hours sooner, so as to turn the enemy beyond Vallongo, and reached the mouth of the liver Souza, the whole Miguelite division would have been taken prisoners, and his victorious army would have taken Villa Nova on their return, whither he meant to go next evening ; but the recognition coming, and he firing that evening a salute, he gave them one night to consider about coming over, during which they evacuated the place altogether without fighting, and without com mitting any further acts of incendiarism ; the first of which might have been avoided, if the parties concerned had had their wits about them. The Miguelites were said to have buried some of their heavy artillery prior to their retreat, for want of means of transport to remove it ; and this was singularly verified the other day. A poor person, walking at low water on the sands near Monte Crasto, to pick up shell-fish, per ceived between the rocks on the sea shores a beautiful large brass mortar, which was immediatly recovered, and is now mounted on a new carriage or stand at Monte Crasto. The great sixty-eight pounder of Joao Paulo Cordeira, it is expected, will be forthcoming in a si milar way. Intelligence has been received to-day of the troops that marched out last night to the Serra having safely reached Oliveira d'Azimeis, seven leagues on the road to Coimbra, without meeting with a single enemy. Mr. Hoppner, the British Consul-General at Lisbon, has been recalled rather suddenly, and ceased his func tions on the 20th instant. The order was brought out on Sunday last by the Hermes Government steamer, shortly after the recognition of Donna Maria had been received by the African. This change is variously accounted for. Ist. Oa the principle of economy— the Consul-General's places being reduced everywhere. 2d. Oa the ground of a disagreement be tween Mr. Hopper on one side, and: Admiral Parker and Lord William Russell on the other ; the former public functionary having joined Paltnella in a requisition for the landing of the British marines, and having encouraged a representation of the British merchants to himself, de manding this measure by way of protection ; but the Government in England not only prohibited the landing of a single man, but enjoined the observance, if possible, of a still stricter neutrality, recalling the Consul-General at the same time. There is also some gossip about certain bickerings among the ladies of those diplomatic personages; and as they are threatened to he laid before Parliament, it may be improper to allude to these feuds till the parties concerned themselves publish them. OPORTO, Ana. 29.—0 n Monday morning the Pem broke steamer came for more troops, and started again next day with 350 Germans, the Queen's Second Ligbt Infan try; 40 or 50 nn ttached officers embarked the night fol lowing, and the British Marines and Scotch under Lieut.- Colonel Shaw, were ordered to follow these, when General Stubbs learned yesterday from two deserters that 5,000 Miguelite Regulars and Guerillas, with 300 horse, were at Balthar, to the eastward of Ponte Ferreira, above six leagues distant, who, having heard of the removal of the troops, intended to make a dash upon Oporto. He there. fore countermanded their embarkation, these forces being indispensable for the defence and safe keeping of this place. The heavy piece of artillery known by the name of Joao Paulo Cordeiro, was thrown into the river Douro, near the bridge of Arenilla, when the 11iguelites retreated. It has been already pointed out, weighed up, and brought to the Custom-house, from whence it is to be removed to Praca Nova, now called Praca de Don Pedro, where already two long brass guns and a number of corronades, tumbrils, triangles for moving heavy artillery, and other materials, left behind by the illiguelites at Avintes, are heaped up. Two entire bands deserted from the enemy, and marched into Oporto with musical instruments, playing the Consti- tutional Hymn. Marshal Bourmont is said to have ordered 150 to be shot for desertion, to intimidate or encourage the rest to remain true to their colours. Seventy-seven deserters, amongst whom were six officers, came into Oporto in the space of three days. At Braga there were yesterday but two companies of Braganza Militia, 50 dismounted dra goons of Chaves, and a company of armed Monks. An expedition is to be made from here to the Minh° to en courage the country to declare for the Queen. Ouvar and some other towns have already done so. The Empress and Queen are expected to land here on their journey from France to Lisbon. The house of M. Carrenca, where the Emperor at first resided, until the bombardment drove him from it, is preparing for their reception. Don Carlos is said to have left Coimbra, and passed through Uraganza, on his return to Spain. His Majesty's brig Savage arrived from Vigo two days ago, but brings neither the confirmation nor contradiction of Ferdinand's alleged death. Mr. Addington, the British Minister, was about to leave Madrid. I see this moment from my window some gun boats pass up the river. The Miguelite Guerillas having maltreated the market people, and forbade their supplying Oporto with provisions, they may be destined to protect such as come by water. The river is full of ships up to the Serra bridge, andithelduties now paid at the Custom-house must form a considerable addition to the revenue. _ Lissoti, Auu. 20. —The journals of Lisbon, which announced the arrival of Lieutenant-General Romarino in this City, have now to inform the inhabitants that the General leaves Portugal to return to France. The General, who has been concerned in the combined operations since the month of April last for the happy success of the Con stitutional cause of Queen Donna Maria IL, /litters hitn,elf that the inhabitants of Lisbon and all good Portuguese will be persuaded of the sincerity of his wishes that the sacred cause which they defend may be consolidated with the dignity and honour that have always characterized the noble tfforts of this nation. Constitutional liberty for ever ! Long live Queen Donna Maria 11. His Imperial Majesty the Duke of Bragansa, having been rather indisposed, could not accompany to-day the brigade of artillery which marched at four o'clock to join the army. His Majesty went out at seve❑ o'clock to see the redoubts and the fortifications of the line of defence, and was much pleased at finding that his orders had been so promptly obeyed, and !that the batteries were already provided with artillery. The Brazilian brig Duarte 1., which sailed from Oporto on the 19th, at eleven in the morning, and arrived here to-day, the 20th, at 5 p.m., brings the same agreeable news that we received yesterday by the Echo steam-boat, of the great and complete defeat of the rebels near Oporto on Sunday last. Their loss consisted in 300 prisoners, as many deserters, a great number of killed and wounded, with the greater part of their baggage, artillery, and 111A munition. AUG. 21.—A letter from Oporto of the 18th, gives an account of the burning of the magazines at Villa Nuva. The rebels," it says, " set fire to the magazines of the Company in Villa Nova, which were entirely consumed on the 19th. The sight was horribie, an d th e i n di gnat i on of the inhabitan t s excessive. Is is calculated that 12,000 pipes were Iffirned, and, togeth er w ith t h ose of the Com pany, the magazine of Francisco Al ves , w hi c h contained 600 Pipes. The magazine of Oinorod caught fire, being nex t to those of the Company, but the fire was extin guished." The letter seems to intimate that the re mainder would probably he burned. It is to be hoped that solemn notice will be immediately given that the the mu'• a Whatever d escr ipti on , s h a ll b e p roperty of th e auswera hls for these excesses. Nothing can appease the public indignation ; the people exciauucz in the streets that not one of the rebels who should offer to join our s t a ndards ought to be received, but that they ought all to be put to the sword. His Imperial Majesty the Duke of Braganza went out at six o'clock this morning to view the line of fortifica tions, and approved what has been done. He then visited the I:uilitary and flan! arsenals. At half-past four o'clock his Majesty Went to the camp of Qurigue, where he reviewed the lit and 91th ham! lions of infantry, and the 10th Caeadoree. His Majesty, when he retired to rest at ten o'clock, was in good health. The Duke of Terceira came to receive his Majesty's orders on his departure for the army. Colonel Heere took leave of his Majesty. The Fair Rosamond English schooner arrived here at ten o'clock p.m. (the 21st), having left Oporto at eight o'clock in the evening of the 20th, with despatches for Admiral Parker; the captain says that the rebel force which garrisoned the forts and positions on the left bank of the Douro having wholly retired, most of the merchantmen of different nations that were at the mouth of the river had entered it. It was said that since the glorious battle of the 18th the rebels had abandoned their lines on the North, and marched towards Coimbra. " Palace dos Necessidades, Aug. 23. "His Imperial Majesty visited the fortifications as usua this morning. " In the afternoon he went to the quarters at Belem, to see the brave regiment of infantry, No. 15, lately ar• rived here from the heroic city of Oporto. " Aug. 24. " This morning his Majesty went to the Camp at Ourique, were the Ist, 4th, and 15th Regiments of In fantry were drawn up. His Majesty accompanied them out of the city, on their march to join the army. " His Majesty is now in excellent health." A proclamation of General Saldanha, dated Oporto, Aug. 23, announces that be is going to the capital, leaving the command to General Stubbs. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The election for mayor came on yesterday, and excited rather more than usual attention, as the parties who had been prominent in the last election of Members of Parlia ment were expected to exert themselves for their respec tive friends. Captain Edward Boxer, R. N. was the magistrate on turn, and was supported by the corporation, but at the close of the poll, the numbers were, Joseph Webb Filcher, Esq 484 Captain Edward Boxer 294 John Shipden, Esq. George Stringer, Esq. and Mr. Pitcher was declared duly elected, and sworn into office. We have had a very pretty boat race in the bay to-day, a sort of sequil to our regatta. The Vigilant, custom house cutter, having callenged the Dover boatmen, a very severe contest ensued between a four-oared galley' of the Vigilant's, and a four-oared galley manned by Dover Bay boatmen, and the latter were victorious. Our races are fixed for Thursday and Friday, the 12th and 13th, and very good sport is expected. The town never was so full of visitors; not a lodging unoccupied. A race hall announced for Thursday night, and a full attendance expected. By the accounts from Hamburgh the profit on the exportation of gold from this country is somewhat lower, being 15.32, or rather less than per cent. ; the premium on gold at Paris is 201. per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce, gives an exchange of 25 66, and the exchange at Paris on London, at short, being 25 47k, it follows that gold is per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.— Times. The public are now pretty well aware that in consequence of gold yielding a profit upon its exportation to meat parts of the Continent, it has been drawn from this country to a considerable amount, and it is possible that this exportation will yet increase. This important fact, we apprehend, will be hailed by practical men as one of the preliminary steps to the future prosperity of this commercial country, and we therefore have noticed it in order to allay the fears which may exist in the minds of those who, not understanding the nature of our ex changes, may dread the consequence of this change in our monetary relations with the Continent of Europe. Its first effect may cause the Bank of England to contract their cireulation of large notes, but its second effect will be to induce them to supply the vacuum in our circulating medium occasioned by the temporary passage of sovereigns to the Continent by means of relaxation in the circulating medium of the paper currency. Thus, founded upon the basis of a sound metallic currency on the Continent, which henceforward will give them the power to be consumers of our produce, the prosperity of the manu facturing and agricultural interests of this country will be secured to permanency by a further and yet correct return to an amelioration in our paper currency.—Morn leg Herald. RIOT AT HASTINGS.—...A new fish market has been built at Hastings, under which the New Im provement Act compels the fishermen to sell their fish, although it contains a proviso allowing fish to be hawked about the town. The fishermen, however, insist on selling on fish stalls on the beach, and refuse to sell in the market. Several have been fined, and in default of payment, com mitted to prison for five days. This roused the whole body, about 100 of whom (many of them carrying pick axes and weapons of various kinds), marched towards the gaol to liberate their companions, and upon their arrival they commenced a demolition of the building. Such was their violence and their formidable appearance, that the Mayor was obliged to liberate the fishermen, who joinned the rioters, and they then proceeded to the pound and carried off four carts, which had been impounded for being left on the beech. After marching with the carts in triumph, some dispersed, while others went to the residence of Mr. Standing, one of the Commissioners under the Town Act, and broke his windows ; they intended to do the same mischief to the house of Mr. Chapman, ano ther Commissioner, but were opposed by Dr. Chapman, upcn whom they committed a ruffianly assault, and inflicted a cat on his head. After this the mob dispersed and the town resumed its former tranquillity. GAME.—The Earl of Surrey has very liberally discontinued his pre s ent plan for the preserva tion of gatpe on the 'parlors :of Worksop and Shi reoa k s , and given permission to h i s ten a nts to shoot, course, of v il i s z h ., u t p h o a the upon their thei, respective farms, on cert a i n con diti ons , privilege be confined to themselves, and not to their friends without his Lordship's permission, and that they will use all their endeavours to keep off poachers and other u nauthorized persons. His Lordship reserves to himself a power (with his own friends) to sport CA/ all the farms at pleasure. PRICES OF STOCKS THII Bank Stc ex - 3 per Cent. Re?. - 3 per Cent. Cons.
