" FALMOUTH, THURSDAY MORNInG, 12 o'CLock. " About eight o'clock this morning the Confiance steamer came to anchor in our roads, from Lisbon and Oporto. She left the former place on the 28th, and the latter on the 30th. There were lying in the Tagus, the Viper and Romney, and off the bar the Caledonia, Re venge, and Leveret. The batteries appeared very well manned. Don Miguel was cruising about in a small steamer. Don Miguel's force in the Tagus is 1 corvette, 24 guns; 2 brigs, 14 and IS guns; 3 armed hulks. about 18 and 20 guns; and a steamer. When passing Aveiro, the Confiance observed two steamers, the London Mer chant and the City of Edinburgh, with a corvette, land. ing about 500 troops ; a Portuguese brig was lying inside the bar, and the flag of Don Pedro was flying at the fort. At Oporo, the Echo, Childers, and Orestes, were lying, with several merchant vessels. English squadron off Oporto under sail—Asia, Talavera, Leveret, and Bri ton. Sartorius's squadron at a distance of ten miles, all of which appeared well manned. " One of Don Pedro's vessels, the Confluenza, had captured a small frigate from India containing specie. Don Miguel's squadron were off Vigo. (FROM A PASSENCIR.) _ _ Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. (Late Colburn and Bentley.) Just ready, in 3 vols. post Bvo.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.-The Sugar Market has been heavy all the week, but without any further reduction in the prices ; the estimated purchases of British Muscovades this week are 2,800 hhds. and tierces. The Sugar Market, at its clue this afternoon, is rather more firm, and purchases cannot be made on such low terms as last week. In the Refined Market there has been little alteration ; goods for exportation are particularly dull. This afternoon there has been rather more business doing in low goods fur shipping, but at very low prices, large Lumps having ken sold 61s. a 61s. 6d. ; the stock on hand, however, is not very large: of the fine sorts also, entitled to the bounty on double-refined, a few sales continue to be made at 30s. a 30s. W., although some of the refiners still refuse to sell at those prices. MAURITIUS SUGAR.-272 bags at public sale last Tuesday went off at steady prices, low greyish yellow sel ling at 50s. to Ns. 6d. There is a falling off in the im portation of about 91,000 hags ; in the stock there is a deficiency c f about 80,000 bags, compared with that of October, 1831. EAST INDIA SUGAR.-There continues to he little or no demand for this art , cle, and some parcels of Beneals are offering at rather lower rates, without finding buyers. On Tuesday last 165 bags Siam Sugar, at public sale, went off as fellows : good white 24.. to 245. 6t1., middling white 235. This day's sale 157 bags Siam sold 235. a 245. 6d., former prices. FOREIGN SUGAR continues in the same dull state, no thing having taken place by private contract or public sale. Our present stock of Havannah is much larger th an that of last year. In the stock of Brazil there is little or no differecce. The prices of brown sugars, compared with those of last year at this period, are about ss. to 7s. higher on Brazil, and 2s. to 3s. higher on Havannah ; whites are about 3s. to 4s. higher. This day's public sale, 140 chests Brazil, all taken in ; 198 boxes Havannah, brown, 235. ; yellow, 255. a 275. 6d., former prices. Average price of sugar, I/. 7s. 3d. pet cwt. COFFEE.-The public sales this week have gone off heavily, and a considerable proportion of the quantity brought forward has been taken in, no buyers. The public sales of Coffee, 479 hlids. and 40 bags Jamaica, 43 packs Dominica, and 331 bags Havannah ; about half of the Jimaicas was taken in, the holders not pressing the Mar ket at a reduction ; the qualities above fine ord. supported prices, the inferior sold Is. a 2s lower, good to fine erd. 741. a 775. About 1,000 bags Ceylon have been taken at firm prices, 525. a 53a. The Havannah sold at 545. a 585., being a fall of 6s. a 7s. from the highest point of the Market. This day's sales 1,004. bags Foreign ; 13razd. good to fine ord. sold 535. a 575. ; Havannah, good to tine old. sold 535. a 58s. ; La Guyra, fine ord. foxy, 595. 5,563 bags East India, chiefly Ceylon, and sold 52a. 6d. a 53s 6d. ; yellow Batavia, 545. a 575. These sales esta bhsh prices a shade lower for Foreign Coffee. East India nearly at former prices, but there is an extensive demand, and nearly the whole sold, which enables us to state that the Coffee Market looks much more favourable, and the prices snore firm. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The Rum Market continues firm, the prices rather advancing; proofs sold at Is. Bd. Brandy is not quite so brisk as formerly. In Geneva there is no alteration. TALLow.—The Tallow Market continues very dull at :he reduced quotation. CorroN.:-The Cotton Market is steady in price, but tke purchases are only 200 Surats at 411. a .55d. SILK. —There has been rather more doing lately at cur rent prices. Good Italian thrown Silks are scarce, and Tram is likely to obtain higher prices, no Foreign Trains coming to this Market. China Silks have bee❑ more inquired after. FRUIT.-Some arrivals of new Fruit from Spain have taken place this week, viz. from Malaga, per the Fairy Queen and Brilliant, the cargo of the former of which has been all sold, and part of the latter, at the following prices, viz.—New Bunch Muscatel Raisins in boxes, 1155.; half boxes, 1255. ;' and quarter boxes, 140 s. ; cases con taining cartoons ditto, 1425. ; new Lexia Raisins in bar rels, 40s. ; new Jordan Almonds, 8/. a 8/. Bs. ; jars and bils. Grapes, 235. a 255. From Valentia, the Caroline and Racer, of which only a portion of each cargo has been sold at 508. for new Valentia Raisins in boxes; in old Fruit there is scarcely any thing doing. INDIco.--The Indigo Sale commenced at the India House on the 2d inst., consisting of 4,821 chests. The sale got s off Without animation, the fine a little higher than the last sale. All other descriptions as nearly as possible at the former rate.. Of which 2,060 chests Company's Bengal, Benares, and Tirhoot; 2,624 chests licensed ditto, and 137 licensed Madras. Tninn DAY'S SALE. -836 chests have passed the sale this day, making up 2,646 chests, which are at present disposed of. The bidditzs to-day are more animated, but we do not find any difference in the prices previously established, which are sometimes a little under and some- 1 HAW HIDES. Per Stone. s. d. to s. d.

I shall adhere to those who hold principles which I may say I inherit from my ancestors ; and when I take my seat in Parlia ment, which I shall shortly be enabled to do, I shall sup port those men only who entertain similar political senti ments, feeling assured that these only are the p r i nc i p l es b y which the remnant of the Constitution of this country can be preserved."

Gentleman of the same diocese (whose paternal anxieties may be some excuse for the act), were actually engaged last Sunday evening canvass. ing for Colonel SIRTHORP ! When pious priests do these things, well may the satirist exclaim, " 0 tempura, 0 mores."—Stamford News. A letter has just arrived in town from a friend of the Hon. M em b er for the county of Clare, containing theinteresting intelligence that "on Saturday morning a Miss Scan. eloped from Cahir Con, in this county (be tween Knock, and Kildysart), with MAURICE O'CON NELL, M. P. They crossed the Shannon in a pleasure-boat, and landed at Shanagolden, county of Limerick. From thence they proceeded in a chaise through Limerick, and finally took the road to Cashel. Their route will probably be through Waterford to Bristol, and thence northward to Gretna Green. Miss SCOTT has, or will hive, it is said, 20. 0001._.-Irish Paper. ORGANS OF LOCALITY.—The capacity which animals have of following their maven., as well as of returning to their home, is attributed by phrenologists to the influence of these organs, and not to scent alone.— GALL relates an instance of a dog which was t a k en to- England from Vienna, which soon escaped from its new owner, went alone to the port, contrived to get on board a vessel, accompanied a gentleman to Mentz, whom be there deserted, and took his course alone to Vienna. DESCRIPTION OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.- - - (By ALLEN C UN N INGHAM .) — I n person Sir — WALTER SCOTT was nearly six feet high, well formed, strongly knit, and compactly built ; his arms were long and sinewy; his looks stately and commanding, and his face, as he re lated an heroic story, Rushed up as a crystal cup, when one tills it with wine. His eyes were deep seated under his somewhat shaggy brows ; their colt , ur was a bluish gray : they laughed more than his lips did at a humorous story: his tower-like head, and thin white hair, marked him out amongst a thousand; while any One might swear to his voice again who heard it once, for it bad both a touch of the lisp and the burr, yet, as the minstrel said of Douglas. " it Ltcame him wonder well," and gave great softness to a sort twfu, story ; indeed, I imagined that he kept the burr part of the tone for matters of a facetious or humorous kind, and brought out the lisp part in those of tenderness or woe. When I add that, in a meeting of a hundred men, his hat was sure to be the least, anti would fit no one's head but his own, I have said all that I have to say about his appearance. He delighted in manly exercises; in his youth he was foremost in all sports and matters of harmless mischief. His health, as he wrote to Sir AN DREW HALLIDAY, continued excellent ti 1 the year 1820, when stitches in his sides and cramps in his stomach at tacked him, and were mastered with difficulty. He loved to ride in a shoe t coat, with wide trousers, on a little stout galloway, and the steepest hill did not stop him, nor the deepest water daunt him ; it was his pleasure, more over, to walk out frequently among his plantations, with a small hatchet and band-saw, with which he lopped off superfluous boughs, or removed an entiret ree, when it was marring the growth of others. " As I know your ordinary correspondent at Oporto had not the opportunity of giving you as full an account as he could have wished of the attack made on that city by Don Miguel's army on the 29th ult., I shall endea vour, as far as I can, to give every particular I was able to gather, is addition to those which fell under my own observation, as I was on the batteries behind the lines nearly all the day—first on one where Count Villa Flor and his staff were, and after on another where were Don Pedro and his staff; so that I had the benefit of informs. tion brought from all points, through the aides-de•camp.lt was generally expected by Don Pedro's army that an attack would be made by Dan Miguel on the 29th, that being St. Miguel's day ; and they having always shown a preference to fight on saints' and holy days. During the two previous days there had been almost a complete cessation of the usual petty assaults and firing of shots and shell against the town, but sundry movements of troops in the enemy's lines showed plainly that an attack was in preparation, and in this no one was disappointed. The night of the 28th was dark and lowering, and towards daybreak the rain poured down in torrents. Don Pe dro's troops were all prepared ; the enemy, as they have always done, concentrated their forces on the line of in trenchtnent occupied by the French and British battalion. Soon after daybreak they attacked the former is great force, and were enabled, through the treachery of the proprietor of a vineyard near the position (a professed friend of the besieged), to gain a very great advantage, as he, through a private entrance into his field, admitted about 500 men, who came upon the French troops so suddenly, while they were engaged in defending another position, that fur a short time they had to retreat a little, until reinforced by some Portuguese, when they returned, and drove the enemy before them in the most gallant way ; and I was told, that in that field there were found nearly 70 ho lies of the enemy's forces. About this time an attack was made, which commenced on the British battalion. From the nature of their position, it was impossible to discover the immense force which was about to pour on them, and before they were aware of it, between 5,000 and 6,000 of the Miguelite in fantry, aided by two pieces of artillery and one howitzer, obliged them to retreat some distance, until they came to a square in front of their own barracks, surrounded by walls : here there was a deadly contest, in which the Bri tish officers suffered severely—their men were forced to retreat behind the walls next the town. One great cause of this was their want of ammunition, which unluckily did not reach them for about a quarter of an hour ; after that, being reinforced by three companies of the 10th eaca dorm ted orr - trtliTi;ff privates, two of them sons, and one a cousin, of Captain Firulai, who took each the command of a company, as the commanding officer was hors de combat ; they fought with about 600 strong, beat back their enemy so rapidly, that they took the two guns and the howitzer, with a number of prisoners, and latterly forced them to retreat beyond their former position ; at this part of the lines there was firing kept up until about 3 o'clock, both parties chiefly behind the walls. "The attack during the morning became general at nearly every point, although from the Villa Nova side only with shot and shells from the batteries shove, which did little or no damage, and it was met by equal returns from the batteries in Oporto. But to the left of the French and British position, Don Pedro's troops met the attack most gallantly, assisted as they were most powerfully by the shot and shells from the bat teries in their rear. One gun (12-pounder) and a how itzer were brought up by the enemy on an opposite height, but I never saw more inefficient firing, as hardly one shot or grenade came near the lines or batteries, while the shells and balls from Don Pedro's b itteries must have made grtat havoc, from the admirable manner in which I saw them fall on every point where any body of men were to he seen. You may judge of the execution likely to be done, when 1 tell you that the battery of cagadores alone fired off during the day 129 18-lb-, and 100 9-lb. round shot, with 20 18-lb. grape shot, and 76 13-inch shells. Towards 4 o'clock the enemy began to retreat, in conse quence of a heavy fire being commenced on them from all the guns which could be brought to bear on them, and the whole firing soon after entirely ceased. The losses on both sides it was impossible to tell when I left the city, but front the estimates that I could hear made of the ene my's, it could not be less than from 1,500 to 2,000 killed and wounded, round numbers, with about two hundred prisoners. " The loss on Don Pedro's side was estimated at about 300 or 400, chiefly in wounded. The greatest loss was among the officers, and the greatest proportion of them from among the French and British battalions. Being personally acquainted with the latter, I can mention most of the names, and am sorry to say that Colonel Burrell, Lieutenants Souper and Burton, were killed on the spot, while nobly defending their posts. Major Shaw, Captain Chinnock, Lieutenants Michell, Walsh, and Woo!ridge, were wounded, the first only slightly, as he returned to the intrenchment until the enemy was routed. Colonel Hodges was slightly wounded in the arm ; Colonel St. Lier, of the French battalion, was seriously wounded in the arm : the other officers' names I cannot recollect. From all I could see or learn until my departure on Sun day morning, the whole affair must be considered a most signal defeat of the previously projected plans of the Mi guelite army, and every one in the city felt convinced they would have serious and melancholy recollections of the 29th of September. " From being in the same town with the Emperor during a part of the day, I cannot omit speaking of the coolness and decision with which he received the whole battle, and gave his orders ; at the same time one could see the anxiety which he naturally must have felt at such a deadly contest between his countrymen, favourable as it was throughout for his daughter's cause. When I left, on Sunday morning, at 7 o'clock, all was quiet ; we spoke with Admiral Sartorius about six miles off Oporto; he had all his fleet collected, with the two steamers the City of Edinburgh and the London Merchant, the I fitter just returned from a successlul landing of troops at Aveiro, which fort they took and left dismantled. The Admiral was to start soon after we left ti meet and at tack Don Miguel's fleet, which was off Vigo, on Satur day. I omitted to mention that the constitutional brig The 23d of July took on the 21st ult. a 26. gun frigate, from Goa, steering for Lisbon, which had on board 30,0001. of treasure; she sprung a-leak, and was sent to Gihraltar,consequently only 20,000 dollars were taken out of her by the brig before parting. The crew, 230 men, were sent prisoners into Oporto on Sunday morning. In concluding, I must say, for the satisfaction of all friends of the cause, that the prospects are in all respects most fa vourable, and I speak from all I have seen during the last three weeks that I have been daily gathering information • throughout the business round Oporto." (FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) „ - " OPORTO, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 26. " Since I wrote to you, on Thursday the 20th, all has remained quiet here, with the usual exception of a few fellows at Villa Nova annoying the quay-wall, and the adjacent streets, by their fusillade, kept up at intervals and apparently influenced by mere wantonness and caprice. The regular troops and artillery would appear to be all withdrawn from that vicinity, as neither shell nor shot have come in from thence since Thursday, and this leads to the supposition, which gave such alarm to the people here, that great efforts are about to be made on the north side for a decisive attack. " The city continues as orderly, and indeed more silent than if it were in full possession of its liberty, because the hum of business is suspended, and the quays do not exhibit the activity and bustle consequent upon the loading o cargoes. The wine-trade is of course totally at a stand. and must continue so while Villa Nova remains in the pos session of Miguel's militia. The merchants, for lack of other employment, are therefore now to be seen, telescop. in hand, learning the art of war, and discussing military movements with zealous eagerness, and the only fear I bar is, lest they may acquire guerilla habits, which would unfit them for business. " On Friday the long-expected Britomart anchored oft the bar, and her arrival gave rise to rather a ludicrous mistake, which I dare say has been as general amongst Miguel's friends as those of Don Pedro. At the moment she anchored, the Consul, Colonel Sorel, came alongside the Talavera to pay the Commodore a visit, and was re ceived with the usual salute of seven guns. On shore, it was instantly and positively asserted that the salute was to the Britomart, and conjecture was busily afloat as to the great personage that must be aboard her, and Palmas, and other distinguished names, were bandied about in all quarters. I think it right to mention this, as I have no doubt there are many who would be glad to put a wrong construction upon it. On Saturday morning this vessel came over the bar, and the greatest activity has been dis played in unloading her, and transporting the military stores she brought to their proper destination. This d,-- partment, as well as the practical arrangement of the arsenal generally, is intrusted to Captain Rose, whose energy and activity are worthy of the highest cotninenda tion. The arrival of this ship is of great consequence, as she has brought artillery for the vessels of war fitted out, and all ready but this arm ; and she has also brought round shot for the heavy artil.er),which was much wanted, they having been obliged to run lead into small shells, and use them as substitutes for the heavy shat, which of course rendered the shooting not so precise as it would have been with shot suited exactly to the calibre of the guns. A vast number of artisans are now at work, making the ne• cessary carriages, and all will be complete within a very short period. " On the same day, Captain Brown, of the Talavera, came on shore to return the Consul's visit. He came in his man-of-war's boat, with the union jack displayed at her bow; but, alas ! the British flag was no more re spected than would have been the blue and white one of Donna Maria: indeed, the case was so directly the re verse, and the Commodore's cocked bat a mark so tempt ing, that more than 30 shots were fired at him, one of which went clear through the bow of the boat. Were the fellows at the other side not perfectly aware that she was a man-of-war's boat there might be some excuse for their conduct, as at the moment the Britomart was discharging her cargo of destruct:on for them under British colours, which are also hoisted upon all Don Pedro's transports, so that it is difficult for them to distinguish friends, or bona fide neutrals, from foes. This, however, was not the case with respect to the men-of-war's boats, which they know quite as well as those that are on board them, and only evinces that spirit of hostility towards every thing English which is cherished by the Miguelite party, and in every way encouraged amongst their followers. " The celebrated, or rather notorious, Tellee Jordao, has arrived at Gaspar Teixeira's head-quarters, and if the re ports of deserters are to be credited quarrels of the bitterest nature have arisen between these personages. Jordan is said to have asked, with his usual coarseness, why the city was not carried, or at all events why it was nut seriously attacked? The answer given was a map of the lines, and a statement of the losses suffered. Jordao would not look or listen, hut charged the Generalissimo with a desire to make terms for himself with Don Pedro, and with an in- tendon again to change sides. They Lad perhaps come to blows but for the interference of others, and whether Jordao remains still with the army I have not heard ; he was not, however, seen on Sunday, at lease, to be known by Lieu tenant Elliot, whose mission I shall by and by give you an account of. Implicit credit is given by almost every body here to these statements, but people very readily believe what they wish. "About one o'clock on Siturday the Echo, Government steam-boat, arrived with a King's messenger, bearing des patches for the Commodore and the Consul, and left on Sunday for Lisbon, on a similar mission, for Admiral Par ker and Lord William Russell. The Marquis of Palmella came in her as a passenger, and his arrival has given fresh spirit and confidence to the people here. Various reports, as to the success of his negociations, and the aid of men and money he has obtained, are in circulation, but of these I slued not speak, as in London you must be better informed than we can be. The English, however, are particularly well- pleased at the Echo's arrival, as she brought orders to the Orestes and Childers to go over the bar in order to afford protection, should it-be needed, to the British residents. In my last I find I threw away a large portion of very fine indigna tion upon the conduct of our Government in refusing to ac cede to former applications for this purpose. lam happy that I was wrong, or that they are at length right. These vessels, commanded by Captain Glascock and Cap tain Deans, came over the bar in the most magnificent style, and the Portuguese were astonished at the silence and order that prevailed on board, as in one of their ships every individual on boird would be shouting at the top of his voice. Their anchorage is at that prt of the river called Dezoite Bracos, which means 18 fathoms, but the depth now is, at low water, not three. This is lower down than our ships of war have usually laid, their general position being close to the convent of St. Antonio. on the south side of the river. I may perhaps here remark that there is an effective though tacit agreement as to neutral ground, cons,- quent, no doubt, upon the Consul's or der for the ships to move down the river. This ext, nds from the magnificent nunnery of the Aloncheque, on the north of the river, and from Gaya, on the south, downwards to the bar. Don Pedro has batteries on this ;ide lower down as a completion to his line, and not likely to be brought into operation, unless in case of the enemy turning the lines by Mattozinhos and the Fos, from whence there is an open and level road to the city, where troops of all arms could act : but it would require an overwhelming force upon other points to enable them to do so, the road being overhung, a good part of the way, by a precipice, merely tumbling the stones from which would bring destruction upon them. Captain Brown, or his conductor, may have, perhaps, overlooked this line of demarcation, though the neutrality, in fact, extends much higher, and nearly all along the Miragaya to the Porta Nova, for the Commo dore's boat went higher up, and was accordingly fired at. They might, however, be secure of his peaceable in tentions, as he was accompanied by the chaplain of the Talavera ; but no snore respect was paid to his sacerdotal office than to the majesty of the British fl tg. " On Sunday, Lieutenant Elliot, of the Briton, was sent with despatches from the Commodore and the Consul to the General-in-Chief of Don Miguel's force, to an nounce to him, on the part of the Commodore, th e . _ crossing of the bar by the Orestes and Childers, and to communicate the orders sent to him by the Admiralty. These were, that as the season approached when access over the bar would become difficult, and events might render aid to British subjects necessary, his Majesty's Government thought fit to direct the above-named ships to take up a position in the Douro, ordering them to pre serve the most strict neutrality, and to keep out of the line of fire.. The orders went further to declare, that any vio lation of the persons or properties of Englishmen wou!d he visited with the full vengeance of the British nation upon the occasion, Lieut. Elliot went to the lines on the north, on the former he crossed to Villa Nova. On falling in with Miguel's pickets, he was politely and rather press ingly invited to cry " Viva el Hey Don Miguel !" which . . of course was not complied with. An officer then came up and conducted them to another post, from whence they were directed on to the head-quartets, Agoas Santas, the same as when the Consul passed by, about a league and a half from this, between the Braga and Valongo roads. On arrival, the officer found the General asleep. Sir J. Campbell was there, wide awake, but would not open the letters fur some time. Gaspar Teixeira himself made his appearance, and he too declined to open the let ters. telling Lieutenant Elliot to do so if he pleased. H.• did so accordingly, and then handed them to a Mr. O'Beirne, who accompanied him as an interpreter, to read them in Portuguese. This gentleman did not appear to be sufficiently clear in his interpretation, and the letter was taken away for half an hour, when a correct translation was produced. Gaspar Teixeira himself behaved courtesy, stating that he had even had indurate rela tions with Englishmen,—that he had busine:s connexions with them, and was satisfied with their conduct ; but :hat England had broken faith with Portugal, and that ti, talk of English neutrality was nonsense. While speakin . . the present contest he was greatly agitated, and sai.. that in eight days Oporto would be levelled with th ;round. While thus expressing himself he struck 126 -.heel, with all the vehemence of a hafteci man, against the floor. This was an efeel , i.' a upon his part; hut on that of all those who sun (noel him the deportment was any thing but that which might be expected from officers and gentlemen. While entering the General's room the officers of his staf f were uttering ejaculations of English black guards,' and other similar politenesses, justly calculating upon their own security and the Lieutenant's ignorance of the language. The British officer, after a circuitous ride in a broiling sun, asked for a glass of water, and the an swer he received was, There is some in the corner, take it if you want it.' Sir John Campbell, too, stormed most violently, and when the Consul's letter, remonstrating with respect to the firing on the Commodore, was read, burst out am glad of it, and I hope, if he comes there again, he will get more of it.' He went on in his usual strain to declare that the entry of the British ships was a distinct breach of neutrality, and that this was but the beginning of a general war, for which the British Go. vernment would have to answer. The whole was of a piece. ' Like master like man' is an old saying, and if the master be like the man he may be a fit keeper for Lisbon dogs, who live upon ordure and carrion, and his officers good under-keepers of such a kennel, but neither be nor they can be fit to associate with or have contrid ever gentlemen or honest men. The embassy returned at night, and will not volunteer in a hurry upon a similar expedition. I had almost forgotten another incident con nected with this mission worthy of remark. Miguel's of ficers said, ' Oh, it is necessary we should consult our Co lonel, for if you have an English Colonel in the city, we have a Spanish one here.' This, of course, was intended as a rub for Colonel Hare, the military resident here, though I rather presume there is a wide difference between the respective neutrality of the two officers. Upon other points, the little intelligence I have to give is eatisfactirry—. in some respects highly so. The city continues to be well supplied, and the oxen to he seen at market are of a quality that neither Hereford nor North Devon need he ashamed of. Vessels with provisions arrive daily, and those with other commodities are also as numerous as those gent rally seen here at this season,—this, in fact, being the only port open to them. Besides this, the various vessel. waiting for wines, and likely to wait, until the Villa Nova militia men are ejected, add to the number; and, in addition, there is nearly the usual number of small vessels sent out fur fruit from England, which are and will he left un tenanted—all communication with Guimaraens and the fruit country being cut off. The wine company are taking care of themselves, as they are removing 'heir brandies from Villa Nova southward. Four hundred pipes are al ready removed, and the reason assigned is t eir fear of shells from this side, which might cause e coefl igration and explosion as bad as that of a powder-magazine. " Desertions from Don Miguel's troops of the line daily occur; but none from the militia or velunteers. The latter are so ignorant ant:, so monk-led that I are not surprised. Some of these desert:o is require especial notice. On Saturday two dragoons of the Ist regiment presented themselves on the south side of the river, nearly opposite the arsenal, and when their object was awe, teineil were brought over here with their horses and accoutre ments complete. At nine o'clock on the same nielet tour others of the same regiment came upon the sands opposite the Castle of the Post: a party of 20 was sent over to dis cover what they meant, and in a short time the launch of the Postuense conducted them to the Castle, where they were, I need not say, well received. I saw them on Sun- clay morning come up to town ; they were fine young men, with beautiful horses ; their appointments in admirable order, and they returned the cheers which greeted them en their route with loud vivas for Donna Maria. This is in itself important, but %%ba i t is still more so is, the coming over of two officers on Sunday. They are the acting Adjutant and an Ensign of the Bth Cacadores, the first of commissioned rank who have joined Don Pedro from his opponents. The Adjutant is an officer of necessity, hut acquainted with all the details of a corps, and when he loses confidence in his cause there is every reason to suppose it in a tottering condition. An example like this soon becomes contagious, and it is plain that Dan Pedro's decrees, offering pardon and rank to those who join him, are at length making way amongst Miguel's troops. These are facts on which you may rely, and since Sunday from the lines on the north four came in on Monday and 12 on Tuesday. Events like these are better than a dozen re pulses like that of Sunday week, which was a matter of more importance than even, from witnessing that poi tiori which occurred on the right of the line, I was inclined to suppose. Miguel's loss is not, I have good reason to be lieve, exaggerated at 800 in killed arid wounded, and the exuberant zeal of the monks has consigned several of them tee that martyrdom which they seemed to covet, and which I neither envy nor regret. Nine of these members of the church militant are tenants of one grave. Lovely in their lives, so in their deaths are they not divided.' Tee Gazette account was not published when I sent my last letter on board, but by it you will find the loss on flin Pedro's side also to have been rather severe, 4 officers killed, and 16 wounded, besides more than 100 lank and file. " I have only to hope that the expectation of fresh supplies here may not be disappointed. if they really are coming the face of affairs may very speedily change, for in a war of this kind, between partite' of the s ime coun try, very slight events lead to the most decisive changes, and all those best acquainted with the country reiterate, that money will do every thing for Don Pedro. Those who have advanced some on the loan will, therefore, do well not now to close their purse-strings, as by so doing they may put their advances hitherto in feat ful jeopardy. " Still no news from the fleet. The London Mer chant was despatched to meet it, but returned on Sunday evening without meeting either the hostile squadrons, or the English fleet, the port of Lisbon being perfectly open, and unblockaded. Miguel's Admiral has orders not to engage Sartorius if he can avoid it, but to use all his exertions to land the stores on this part of the coast ; nor is he in any event to return to Lisbon, but if beaten to put into the next Spanish port. The steamer spoke a brig which had seen the rival squadrons beating to northward, end I hope the reason of the four vessels lately sent from this not being off Lisbon was, their having joined Sartaritea if so he will, I think, settle Miguel's navy. The instruc tions not to come back to Lisbon, augurs ill for this roost faithful King, as could he depend on his subjects, a everse would only confirm her allegiance. Perhaps we 'nay have them here soon, and I should not be sorry now, As the Portuense and Villa da Praya will be ready to Assist, and there is no want of sailors, the Britomart hav ing hronght out 60, and her own crew volunteering most cheerfully for the fleet. On Monday there was cone .iderahle firing on the extreme right of the line, the posi 'ion of the French at the Prado d'Obispo. The object of Nliguel's officers was to plant a battery which would sink the gun-boats, and the Coquette sloop, under the commend of Captain Hill, was stationed up the river, to prevent the possibility of a surprise by vessels drapping down.— The artillery heretofore employed at Villa Nova were, I presume, withdrawn for this purpose, and were attempted to be placed in a position in which they could not be commanded from this side. Capt. Hill turned a slight projection of the boe. and is sit far safe, having paid them his compliments with effect in taking leave, and Colonel Hodges sent a party or the French across the river, and dislodged the party which covered the artillery, levelling a house that afforded the shelter. " The enemy, as for distinction sake I call Don Mi guel's troops, are now, to all appearance doing nothings Their diversion on the side of the river and the Ft each lines is a trifle, unless done with the object of miking some greater movement; and some military thee, with with whom I have conversed, entertain the idea that a heavier storm of artillery and bombs than we have already had, is about to burst over us from that quarter. Whether with this view or not, I cannot say, but their heavy guns Are withdrawn from the line on the north. At all eve uta :heir silence appears ominous. lam still of Opinion that if they attempt any serious attack it will be on the 29 - . h, and the common people all say that the enemy will, if hey can, come in on the dia de St. Aliguel. The people, Ind of course the army of Miguel, composed as it is of ni.gots and fanatics, are superstitious in the highest degree, end we know that there hate been frequent instances in Spanish and Portuguese encounters with the Moors, in .which the Archangel has deserted his celestial residence, in order to lead them on to victory. In these degenerate days his appearances have been less frequen', and as both sides here are his friends I have no doubt he will preserve I strict neutrality. A day or two will decide whether my conjecture is right or wrong; but should an attack be be consid ere d at an end.
