Letter from the Marquis (le Palmella to Senhor Mi ran(' : " MINISTRY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " Most Illustrious and Excellent Senhor,—With the greatest satisfaction imaginable, I now fulfil the duty of my office in informing your Excellency, that the legitimate Government is already re-established in the second city of the kingdom, and that the two provinces to the north of the Douro are completely abandoned by the rebels. On the 9th, at noon, his Imperial Majesty the Duke of Bra germs entered Oporto at the head of his army, accom panied by innumerable crowds of the inhabitants of the environs and the town, who hailed with benedictions his arrival, and saluted him with loud vivas as the deliverer of the country. Thus took place his really triumphant entry into the city, and to the Palace of the Camara. " The papers which I inclose will give your Excellency an account of every thing important connected with the voyage and the military operations. Your Excellency will easily imagine how impossible it is for me, in the pres sure of the present moment, to spare the time necessary for more circumstantial details I must, therefore, con fine myself to the stating, that our voyage was favourable, and that the whole of the convoy kept together, with the exception of only one vessel with 300 infantry, which arrived on the day after our disembarkation. " The landing was effected in the place which had been previously fixed upon, without the loss of a single man, and without the least accident, between the Villa de Conde and Oporto, cutting, by this first operation, the enemy's line, and obliging the division he had in Villa de Conde to make a circuit of eight or nine leagues, in order to gain the bank of the Douro. About nine o'clock at night, our troops had all landed, under the protection of the ships of war, which were skilfully stationed within gun-shot of the coast. The march then commenced in two columns, the left wing being commanded by the Emperor in person, who voluntarily proceeded a great part of the way on foot. The light division scarcely found it necessary to repel a few corps of cavalry and picquets of the rebels, whose pre cipitate flight obviated any serious encounter, notwith standing the boastings with which they that very day sallied from Oporto for the purpose of opposing the landing. In the morning of the following day, the 9th, our ad vanced troops entered the city at the very moment the enemy evacuated it, but it was not possible to continue the pursuit, as h e h a d d estroye d the b r id ge over t h e D ouro . On the same day, some of the boats belonging to our squadron entered the river, and took possession of the C astle of St. Joao da Fos. Yesterday evening the pas- S age of the river was effected by the first and second divi sions of the army, under a pretty brisk fire. As soon, however, as the enemy saw our first troops on the other "'de, he no longer ventured to dispute the ground, but fled Precipitately on the road to Coimbra. " Thus, in the space of two days, has been effected the moat difficult operation which his Imperial Majesty had P ro posed to hi mse lf , our army now command i ng the whole being on the road to Coimbra. The Duke of Braganza presided in person at all the movements of the army, and yesterday directed the passage of the Douro, under the e , ne nly's fire. A gieat num b er o f d eserters from the l i ne nave Tined us, an d t h e m ili t i a b eg i n to d i sperse. " e greatest enthusiasm prevails among the people, particula r l y wherever his Majesty shows himself; but SOrne more time will be necessary before the distant parts of the country, and above all, the rebel troops, can be brought to believe in his presence, and also to remove gradually the terror which the Government of the usurpa tion has every where spread, as well, too, as the fear of vengeance and reprisal on the part of our troops. This fear indeed is quickly disappearing, for the liberating !trio), maintains the most perfect state of discipline, while at the same time, continues to be animated by the most ex traordinary ardour. " The squadron will soon sail to blockade Lisbon, but nine small vessel s o f war w ill, at th e same t i me , b e de tached to blockade Aveiro, and a few other points of the coast, hi s Imperial Majesty being determined to prosecute the Operations with all the rapidity and energy which cir cumstances may. permit. " There is no appearance of any hostile movements on the part of Spain. On the contrary, it rather seems to be ascertained that the Government has ordered its troops to remove from our frontier. His Imperial Majesty has endeavoured, and will continue most carefully to endea vour, to prevent the occurrence, on our part, of any cir cumstance which might give the slightest pretext for of fence to the Court of Madrid. „"1"e'I " need not recommend to your Exc e ll enc y t o g i ve th e and most prompt publicity to this information, Which is so well calculated to give high satisfaction to all good Portuguese, both within and without the kingdom. " May God preserve your Excellency. ,t" Marquiz PALNIELLA. ``Fro m t h e Palace, Oporto, July 11, 1832. To the Most Illustrious and Excellent Senhor Manned Gonqalves de Miranda." The papers referred to by the Marquis de Palmella, in the above letter, consist of documents printed at Oport o , the Principal of which is a journal entitled Cronica Con stitutional do Porto, with the following motto from Carnoens " 0 Reino prospero floresee " Ern Constitucoes, Leis, e Costumes." The following is the extract of a letter from Colonel Paulet, of the engineers attached to the expediti.n " PORTO, JULY 12. " It is with the greatest pleasure I inform you of my safe arrival here, and of the successful progress of our expedition. We embarked on the 27th ult., and after ten days of a most prosperous passage, we arrived at Villa de Conde. On the Bth we disembarked, with scarely a shot being fired, and without the loss of a single man, even from accident. We were equally fortunate in ent,ring Oporto on the 9th, amidst vitas and the greatest enthusiasm. We could not effect our passage of the Douro, for the rebels had not only destroyed the bridge, but even sunk several boats, which, to all appearance, Was done not only to cover their retreat, but likewise t i ° preve nt d esert i on. Some small detachments of t he rebels kept up a fire upon this side of the ii liv err but under tbe protection of our vessels, which "I ente re d the river, our troops crossed at three different points, and advanced, as far as Carvalhos the 10th.

At length we have news from Portugal—from Lisbon to the 22d—and from Oporto to the 24th, both inclusive. The official intelligence from Oporto does not, however, reach down later than the 14th, but passengers who came by the steamer assert that a battle was fought on Monday last near Oporto, between the troops of Don MIGUEL and those of Don PEDRO, and which having continued all that day, termi nated in the total rout of MIGUEL'S forces. MIGUEL'S army, it is said, pushed on from Lisbon and Coimbra to the number of 12,500 men, in order to take the Constitutionalists by surprise, but Don PEDRO was on the alert, and gave battle in regular order, and with com plete success. Two thousand prisoners are said to have been taken, with whom the EMPEROR returned to Oporto, and on Tues day prosecuted his triumph by pursuing the fu gitive army on the road to Coimbra and Lisbon. The success of the day is attributed to the gallantry of the British and French volunteers, who charged at the point of the bayonet, and thereby threw MIGuEL's army into confusion. Now should the above accounts be correct, there must be some mistake in the news received on Saturday, from Bordeaux, that Coimbra had been entered by Don PEDno on the 20th. The only way we can reconcile the dates is, by supposing that a portion of PEDno's army landed at Cape Mondego, an d had gone up to Coimbra, thus taking M j _ GUEL'S troops in the rear. If this prove correct. the Usurper's doom is already sealed ; for his retreat on Lisbon would be cut off in that direction, and the active pursuit of the vic torious Constitutionalists would so harass his retreat through the country, as almost to disor ganize the remains of his army. In any case, taking it for granted that he has suffered a defeat in a general battle, there is little doubt of his im mediate downfall. A portion of Don PEDRO'S squadron under Admiral SARTORIUS had arrived off the mouth of the Tagus, and was left there on Sunday, the 22d, blockading Lisbon. The present arrival confirms the intelligence previously received of several regiments having de- serted from MIGUEL'S standard, and joined Don PEDRO. The country people were also flocking from all parts to offer their best assistance to the Constitutional forces. Under these cir cumstances, we may expect by the next arrival to hear that Lisbon has declared for Don PEDRO ; for the news of MIGUEL'S defeat will strike a panic into what few of his adherents remain in the city, and embolden the peopl e f avoura bl e to t h e constitutional cause to rise en masse and declare themselves. W e refer to another part of The Sun for fur ther particulars. So far as we can yet learn, the annual com memoration of the July revolution bids fair to pass off tranquilly enough. But this tranquil lity, be it remembered? is the result of indiffe rence—of dull, stony apathy. ,It has nothing to do with content or satisfaction. Paris is tranquil ; r .._ •' i. •• • .

Moreover, Paris is tranquil because she is surrounded by an army of 70,000 men, and because the whole of the National Guards are called out, and ready to act, in case French enthusiasm should make too in convenient a display ! What a world of reflec tion lies in these two little facts. Seventy thousand men compelled to assemble in arms merely to protect the hero of July—we beg his pardon, of Valmy and Jemappe, as he has assured his loving subjects a hundred times— from the possible results of the commemoration of an event which first placed him on the throne ! Why, even CHARLES the Tenth himself never took such precautions as this. The Coryphxus of liberty actually stands in greater fear for his personal safety than the Coryphxus of des potism. Well may all the respectable classes in Paris keep aloof, when they find that this is the case, and that their commemoration of the new birth of freedom and of popular rights is over awed by the presence of a standing army ! But Louis PHILIPPE is not feared or hated ; he is, we suspect, only despised and laughed at by the French people. Men may dread the lion, but they are not apt to be panic-stricken by the tit mouse.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 24th men tions, on the authority of a private letter from St. Petersburgh, that a great change is likely to take place in the political system of the Russian Cabinet, under the auspices of the notorious POZZI DI BORGO, who enjoys the unbounded confidence of NICHOLAS, and considers the state of France as most dangerous, if not desperate, and that the new royalty isnot strong enough to re sist the continual attacks ofparties." A letter from Berlin of the 17th instant states, that the new Sovereign of Greece, Prince 01'110 of Bavaria, is likely to be married to the eldest daughter of the Emperor of RUSSIA. Thus NICHOLAS has an eye to Greece as well as to the rest of Europe. The French fleet at present assembling at Cherbourg is, it is said, eventually destined for the Scheldt, in conjunction with that of Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM. We know that pilots have been engaged for the French vessels for the North Sea and Scheldt. The reason assigned for both fleets delaying their departure for the North, is said to be to watch the progress of events in Portugal, in case the interfer ence of Spain should render it necessary to make a demonstration on her shores. A few days more will probably set the affairs of Por tugal at rest, by the defeat and expulsion of the usurper MIGUEL, when both fleets will sail for their destination. The Dutch steamer has arrived with the Journal de la Hague of the 27th inst. ; but we do not find any news of consequence in it. It is reported in the city that when the Em peror of RUSSIA heard that Lord DURHAM was proceeding to St. Petersburgh to have an audience, his IMPERIAL MAJESTY suddenly set out for Revel. Despatches were received this morning at the Colonial Office from the Island of Jamaica. ‘We are glad to learn by the concurrent tes timony of the provincial Journals, that the crops this year are unusually abundant. Everything promises well for a fine harvest. The College of Aberdeen, it appears, is about to give up its right to all new publications for the annual sum of less than 5001. What is to be done with the money—whether it is to be laid out for the benefit of the Students, or to go into the pockets of the Professors, does not ap pear ; but whatever becomes of it, we regret to find the northern part of the island is to be de prived of such a boon, in order to enrich the British Museum with French works. Surely the British and French Governments could have made some arrangements for the mutual exchange of the publications of the two countries, without tempting the avarice of the Senatus Academicus of Aberdeen by the miser able grant of 4601. a year. That University may be said to be the only seat of learning to the North of the Tay, and consequently is the alma mater of more than one-half of the country; it is 100 miles distant from any other College, it is looked up to by the Highlander, as well as the inhabitants on the eastern coast, as the capital of the north ; and, therefore, to deprive it of one of the greatest advantages belonging to a Uni versity—the right to new publications, some so costly as to put them beyond the reach of private individuals, is the most likely of all means to degrade its character and destroy its useful ness. Independent of that, it entails a great hardship on a certain part of the com munity,—those who may have occasion to consult expensive works, and who, if this arrangement be effected, must travel to St. Andrew's or Edin burgh for that purpose. The University of Aberdeen has long laboured under the disgrace of selling its honours for money, and the pre sent negociation only confirms the imputation that it would not only sell its honours, but, EsAu-like, its birth-right, for some paltry consideration. What au outcry Sir Ito- BERT INGLIS would have made, had such a negociation been entered into with either of the English Universities ! Before the nego tiation be closed, at all events time should be given to the inhabitants to express their opinion on the subject. These observation s are made in the belief that only one of the Colleges (King's College) has a right to the new publications. That, indeed, was the foundation of the argument of Mr. JOHNSTON in the Commons on Saturday, and no reply was made to it. If both have the right, and the two Colleges are to be united, this _ =., . _.._ ' J: ,'l;. ~:Y' c • ,! , . ,•••• „ • ,•••• ' would alter the whole question ; but we are afraid the view we have taken of the subject is the true one.

TIIE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK. At length we have important arrivals both from Oporto and Lisbon, by the Columbia steamer, which brings the information that Don Miguel assembled all his troops to the north of Portugal, to the number of near thirteen thousand men, and sent them to oppose Don Pedro; both armies met on the south of the Douro, and fought the whole of the day on Monday last. After a severe contest Don Pedro proved victorious, and was following up his success on the 24th. It is said that great desertion has taken place from the army of Don Miguel. The above is the report from the passengers and captain of the steamer, and it is generally credited in the City that a battle has taken place; but more authentic accounts are wanted to confirm it. We have not yet seen any letters of Oporto of the date when the steamer sailed, but others of an anterior date state that the two hangmen at Oporto were killed by the prisoners when set at liberty. The Lisbon papers received by the Lisbo❑ mail are dull and void of interest ; they are of the 22d inst. Canton papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the 17th of February. Authentic intelligence has been received that the Vice roy of Kiang-si province has committed suicide by swallow ing gold leaf, owing to a discovery of a defalcation in the treasury. Two Mandarines in an adjoining district have also com mitted suicide, owing to disturbances having broken out. ARRIVALS OF GRAIN IN LONDON DURING LAST WEEK. ..... tz x CD tcl gl ''' E.

The Portuguese merchants are in great anxiety, and are much surprised at not having as yet received their letters by the Lisbon mail, arrived this morning, which they at tribute to the mismanagement of the post-office. They say that under the present circumstances, and their com marcial interests, the letters ought to have been sent up from Falmouth by express. Up to the present hour we have no further information of the battle fought in Portugal. Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 834, are at present S3i a for the Account.

The preceding week's arrivals of Grain were tolerably good, and of Flour the quantity was quite adequate to the present demand. This morning there is not much Corn fresh up, but plenty left from former supplies. The weather continues re markably fine, and as harvest has begun in the southern coun ties, our millers are quite indisposed to make purchases of Wheat, and this article may again be quoted 2s.per cwt. lower. In Barley, Beans, and Pease there is not much doing, at the same terms as recently quoted. Oats that are dry and sweet maintain last ➢fonday's prices ; in other qualities there is scarcely any trade.

IRISH TITHE SYSTEM.—An incident oc curred at the fair of French-Furze, on the Curragh, two days since, which may serve to illustrate the feeling of the peasantry on the tithe system. A friend of mine had bought five horses there, and was in the act of leaving th• fair with them, when the toll collector stopped his grooms and demanded toll. My friend, who was a stranger to the fair and its customs, exclaimed, half in surprise and half in joke, " Do you ask toll here? I thought that it and all other impositions were done away along with tithes ! ' " So they ought !" " So they shall !" said several within hearing. The toll-man raised his voice to explain : two or three roughriders had the advantage of him, and vote , t tolls as great an imposition as tithes. The toll.ma❑ grew hoarse. The word tithes flew about the fair ; every one left their business to know who it was that dare ask for tithes or any thing akin to them ; the poor toll-man (al most trampled to death in the argument) was glad to i till away ; and the crowd, with three cheers, declared the fair of French Furze free from all " impositions" from henceforth ! Times. , • EXETER.---vv e regret to say that cholera has at length made its appearance in this city. The first cases occurred on Thursday last, in the person of a woman re siding in a courtlage in North-street, who had just re turned from Plymouth, where she had been a visitant in a house in which it had proved fatal, as did this case also in a few hours. The other was a man, said to be from London, but who, on the preceding day, had walked from Teignmouth, and was staying in St. Thomas, and this too terminated fatally.—. West Rriton. ' LAUNCH OF AN IRON STEAM-VESSEL. On Saturday was launched from the wharf of Mauds lAys and Co., at Pedlar's Acre, near Westtnir.ter n iron steam-boat, intended to be employed on the rivers n India. A large assemblage collected on the adjoining vharfs, bridges, &c ,to witness the novel spectacle. A steam-packet moored off the wharf was crowded with very respectable company, including persons of rank. At three ,'clock, the signal was given, the shores were knocked sway, and the vessel glided steadily and majestically into the river, amidst the huzzas of those on board and on -bore. As she was moving from the stocks, Lord Sandon 'woke a bottle of wine against the iron stern, and named it the Lord William Bentinek. The Earl of Harrowby assisted at the ceremony. Seven years have elapsed since Captain James H. Johnston, the enterprising individual who has the merit of 'laving introduced steam navigation into India, departed from England on his voyage thither in the Enterprise. The Abvious advantages of such a vessel in India were instantly aerceived by the local Government ; she was pu, chased and employed with singular good effect in the Burmese war. The utility of steam navigation in the interior of India 'peedily presented itself to the discerning mind of the en ightened Nobleman now at the head of the Bengal Go vernment, who, en his arrival in India, employed Capt. Johnston to report on the practicability of employing -team-vessels on the Ganges. The report was favour- Ll:le—experimental voyages were performed—but the lifficulty was to accommodate the vessels to the navigation if the river, which abounds with shoals, by reducing heir draught; it being ascertained that, to he able to proceed at all seasons, and at the lowest state of the river, .he vessels should not exceed a draught of two feet. It was further ascertained, that the speed of the vessels most he more than six miles per hour, in orderto withstind the current in the narrow parts. At the same time, the pur poses for which the vessels were required rendered it in dispensable that they should have extensive accommodation And large capacity. To combine these various propert'es taxed to the utmost the ingenuity of professional and scientific men in India, and at length Captain Johnston was deputed by the Su preme Government of India to lay the accumulated infor mation obtained there before the Court of Directors in England, by whom the matter was taken up with promp titude and spirit. Tenders were invited for the construc tion of iron vessels, of fixed dimensions and substance, and a contract was ultimately entered into with Messrs. Nlaudslays, Sons, and Field, for four pairs of iron boats, four tugs, and four boats for the accommodation of pas sengers and conveyance of cargo. The boat launched on Saturday is one of these tugs, which are of the same di mensions as the others. The vessel is 125 feet long, 22 feet beam, and, with the exception of her decks, is entirety of iron, the plates rivetts d together; the thickness varying from one.quatterto three eighths of an inch. Thereisnothing in the least unsightly in her appearance; she resembles an ordinary steam:ves sel. She is to be fitted with a pair of engines, of the united power of sixty horses, with vibrating cylinders, on a principle for which Messrs. Altudslay have obtained a patent, and which has been tried with complete success. She will carry nothing besides her crew, stores, and fuel for 19 hours' consumption, and will tow, at the rate of seven and a half statute miles per hour, an iron accommo dation vessel, of the same dimensions, capable of embark ing a weight of 50 tons, at a draught of two feet, the limit of both vessels. The actual draught of the vessel now launched, with nearly 100 persons on board, was found to he 13i- incises, without the engines. A trial of the first pair of boats will be made on the river, and if successful, the metal parts of the othe six will be prepared for shipment to India. The motive for preferring iron for the construction of these boats was the economy of weight, but the saving of expense is considerable; the first pair of boats, including the engines, anchor:, and cables, will cost less than 6,000/. It has been ascertained that coal abounds on the banks of the Ganges, I3rahrnaputra, and other rivers ; and it is proved, by testimony before the Parliamentary Committee, that the mineral is plentiful in various parts of India. The effects which will be produced by the introduction of steam-vessels into the rivers of India, in facilitating inter nal intercourse, and thereby promoting the ends of Go vernment 8.14 well as of commerce, are incalculable. It must be gratifying to Captain Johnston to know that his name will be associated with the important results which must proceed from the extension of steam-naviga tion in India. ATROCIOUS MURDER BY WIIITEFEET.--- It is with feelings of horror and disgust that we find it our painful duty to have to record another sacrifice of hu man life. The victim is Mr. RICHARD Mattum, of Aherny, Queen's County, who acted as land agent to GORGES MEALY, Esq., of Violet-hill, in the county Kil kenny. Mr. MARUM, besides his farm in the Queen's County, held another, called Bornefea, in the county KOh kenny, situate within three miles of the Royal Oak. To this he proceeded in the course of the past week, to have some meadows cut down ; and for that purpose he en ,,,aged mowers from the neighbour:mod. After the first day they demanded an increase of wages, which was acceded to by their employer. The day after this, however, a further rise was demanded, hut being refused, the work was left off. On this Mr. Maaust procured mowers from his farm in the Queen's County, and they commenced the work ; but early on Thursday they were obli , ed to quit, in consequence of a threatening notice; and on the same morning, about ten o'clock, as Mr. MARUM was' stand ing in his carpenter's workshop, there being then pre sent in it an apprentice of the carpenter, three fellows, grangers, rushed into the place, having no disguise %viva ever on them. They immediately exclaimed, " You villain, we have you now—and we have been long looking for you." A blunderbuss was then presented at him ; he begged for mercy, but the villain who held it discharged it it his victim, who instantly dropped dead, several slugs having penetrated his brain. The miscreants then beat him with the butt end of the piece ott the face, until the features were so defaced that even his own family could scarcely have recognised him. After this ferocious act :hey departed, and up to the hour at which we write, no account of their being traced has reached us. The de ceased was nephew to the late Mr. Joins MAnust, of Mountstopford, who was murdered some years hack by a party of Shanavests, on the ground of his having taken lands out of which the former tenants had been ejected. He was also nephew to the lute Dr. MAl:um, Catholic Bishop of Ossory. He was in Lis 35th year, and has left a wife with a large and young family. It is re markable, that on the Monday preceding his death, Mr. MARUM was examined at the Kilkenny assizes as to the character of a prisoner charged with a " Whitefoot" offence, and principally owing to the excellent character given by him on that occasion, the prisoner was ac quitted.—An inquest was held on Thursday last on the body of the lamented gentleman, when the Jury returned 4 verdict of Wilful Murder against some persons unknown. Dublin Morning Register, Saturday. CHOLERA AND ALARMING RIOT AT WICK, CAITHNESS•SHIRE.—Vie are sorry to state that two cases of decided cholera occurred on Thursday week, in the same family, at Wick. Both cases , which were of the most malignant character, terminated fatally in a very short time. Until the strangers arrived, the medical gen tleman (Dr. E. D. Awsorr, from Edinburgh), who had charge of the hospital, &c. at Wiok, appeared to have se cured the confidence of all classes of the inhabitants. This, however, was much shaken when the fishermen arrived from Musselburgb, Fisherrow, Dunbar, &c. who related to the inhabitants frightful stories about the num ber of persons, their friends and neighbours, who had been poisoned, some of whom had been buried alive, and that all the patients who Dr. ALLISON had attended had died ; and foretold, that if be remained much longer, they would find that he would play the same tricks to them likewise, as he was sent down for no other purpose than procuring fifty subjects every week for Edin. burgh College. It was confidently asserted, too, that twelve dozen of coffins were ready ; and that Dr, A. had engaged, that if he once got a patient into the hospi tal, he would take good care that he would not come out again alive. The circumstance of the first case having terminated fatally with great rapidity, and after an exhibition of some medicine, appeared to confirm these grossly unfounded stories. The cases were alleged not to have been chol e ra, and Dr. A. was immediately cha rge d with the murder of the patients—with poisoning all the public wells, which were forsaken. Crowds, mostly com posed of south-country fishermen, soon collected around the quarantine hospital, which Was get ti ng rea d y to receive the surviving infected family, and were harangued in the most violent manner by several of their number. Dr. A. in vain assured the raob that he was innocent of the crimes imputed to bitn ; he was answered with the most fearful imprecations and threatening language, horyd yells, and cries of " Murder bite—off with the murderer, &c." A ruffian attempted to knock him down, but the Chair man of the Board of Health protected him, and in doing ) thcame the object of the fury of the mob, from vvlaom he was rescued with difficulty, whilst Dr. A. alter taking efuge in a house, was attended to his lodgings by one of the Magistrates. As Dr. A. found the people not only determined to oppose him in all his measures, but threiven ed his life, lie immediately resigned his duties. —Edin burgh Evening Courant, t ,
