statng, that under premnt circumstances he felt it his duty to come up and ascertain how hetnight best provide for the security of his Alijesty's, fintb jerts here. That on his atrival, he was happy to find he was anticipated by the Orestes and -Childers having crossed the bar under orders from the Ad. miralty, but that if the British residents could point out to him any other way in which he could con tribute to their security his best exertions should be directed to ti.at end. This has given universal satis. faction, and the English now feel full confidence in the wish, and they never doubted the power, of their Govern. vernment to protect them. The Admiral came on shore the same day, and went out to the Congregados battery to have a look at the lines. He there met and was intro duced to Count Vali for, who, with the Minister of Marine, makes that their point of observation. FRIDA Y, SEPT. 28.. " I had written thus far in expectation that the Echo on return would proceed immediately for London, but she is detained by the Admiral. He deemed it advisable to transmit from himself, as Commander-in Chief, a second notification of the order from the Admiralty, and on Wed nesday, Lieutenant M'Dona'd, of the Childers, accom panied by an Oporto gentleman, went out to Don Miguel's lines, where they were received by the officer of the picket in the most polite manner. They were, how ever, told that they could not be permitted to proceed to Gaspar Teixeira's head-quarters, as a strict order had been given not to permit any one from either aide to cross the lines. The despatch was taken, forwarded instantly to the General, and a reply returned in a couple of hours of which a Colonel was the bearer. The troops on that part of the lines bivouac, and have not injured or even taken possession of the quintas that lie around. The Am bassadors, feeling rather uncomfortable at having to re main so long under a broiling sun, asked whether they might not enter a neighbouring house, and were told by the officer that neither he nor any of his men had entered a house since they were stationed on that point, and that there were strict orders tothe contrary. The door was knock - ed at, and no answer being given, the officer said be could not disturb the inmates; but he did every thing in his power to make the delay endurable. When the answer was brought back, he was asked if an escort was ne cessary to protect the gentlemen from any guerillas, but he scouted the idea of guerillas, and said, they permitted no such in rulers. What a pity that at head-quarters the same politeness was not shown. The same day some howitzer shells were thrown in from Villa Nova, and burst in the Rio Nova, and the streets near it. No lives were lost, but some poor gallegos, who were secreted in a house, where one of these shells fell, were obliged to bolt from their hiding-place, and were conducted to that labour on the works which they had hitherto escaped. A vessel with horses arrived in the afternoon, and crowds were col lected to witness their landing, which was completed yes terday. They were 52 in number, but one died on the passage, and another was drowned in the attempt to get him on shore. Yesterday evening they were all paraded. and their paces shown in the square called Campo da Ba talha, where the Emperor and his staff attended, as well as a great crowd of amateurs and idlers, all higl4y de lighted at this accession to their force; although it is one which at present cannot be made use of. The _Minden° also came in from the squadron last sent from Viis, which had left Cascaes-bay to blockade Figueiras, supposing the great object of Miguel's squadron to be the tilt owing in of stores for the aid of the army here. The Echo came up yesterday morning, and she brings intelligence not altogether of a pleas ing description. She was spoken with by the Donner Maria frigate, and asked if she had met Admiral Sarto rim', for that she (the Donna Maria) had parted com pany with her in the fog twn nights before, and had up to that time searched for her in vain. Orders had been sent from this on Wednesday, by the City of Edinburgh steamer, to Don Pedro's squadron, to leave Figueiras, and resume the blockade of Lisbon ; and it would be had if Miguel's ships could effect their object in that quarter, and still worse if they fell in with Sartorius unsupported. An intention was shown by the enemy yesterday to erect a battery in a bill, over the village of St. Andre, opposite the arsenal, and some wine-pipes and sand-bags were piled up, but I think this could only be intended to mark other movements lower down, and nearer the bar, which it is known were projected by them. If they really meant any thing their effort was a most imbecile one ; a few men from the Amelia having landed last night, and demolished their work ; and this morning they went up again, and advanced further up the bank of the river towards Villa Nova, causing no slight alarm to Miguel's videttes on that point. While I write there is another expedition gone, I hope. upon a prosperous errand, as last night the. London Merchant steamer crossed the bar, and went to the south ward with 400 of the 12th Cacadores on board. Their movement, I have reason to believe, is upon Aveiro, at the mouth of the Vouga, were, it is said, the enemy were fortifying the passes. What their precise object is I can not say, but a day, or at most two, will put us in possession of it. A l the accounts from Lisbon bring reports of the death of King Ferdinard of Spain, but you will have later accounts than we can have, so I shall not venture to speculate. They also state that considerable reinforcements were despatched from Cintra for the army here, and that troops from Algarve had come over in their stead. If the army be reinforced, it is extremely tran quil ; but of course they will not let us know when they mean to attack. Don Miguel's officers, however, were most anxious to have the question decided, as they ex • pressed a strong desire to that effect, to the gentlemen who went out with the Admiral's letters. The Rua Nova dos Ingleses suffered again last night, shells having fallen nod seriously injured two houses there; one also fell in the military hospital, but did not injure any one. The wounded are about to be removed to another quarter. Allow me, in conclusion, to repeat, that money is the great object wanted, and those who wish well to the cause of Don Pedro must advance it speedily if they mean that it should succeed. " FRIDAY EVENING. " Since closing my letter, and indeed while in the act of putting it into the mail-bag, an account of a most extraor dinary occurrence has taken place, and one which may give a colouring to the future prospects of the contest now proceeding here. I mentioned in my letter that some men from the Amelia, a corvette of Don Pedro, had landed and destroyed the preparatory works of a battery on the south side of the river, at d just over the anchorage of the British ship Orestes. Seeing the preparations for a battery, Captain Deans, of the Childers, and Glascock, of the Orestes, had warped their vessels a littte further up the river, to comply strictly with their instructions Ic. , ep out of the line of fire. When the erection of the battery by Miguel'. people was discovered, the Arne- lig yesterday evening, with some other of Don Pedro', vessels, came under the lee of the British ships, it is to be presumed with the idea of the enemy's not daring to fire ;oto them. Captain Deans, of the Childers, senior officer .o the river, with the concurrence of Captain Glascock, seeing this, sent a communication to Don Pedro's Miniver of Marine, to represent the predicament into which the British ship might be brought by this movement, and to desire that Don Pedro's vessels should choose another an• cborage gloom'. An answer was returned that it should pe done, but ' (to-morrow) is the answer given every day in this country. This morning, before day gght, men from on board the Amelia destroyed the work on the bill, and, not content with this, they went up a second time and advanced towards Villa Nova, along its brow, which called out Miguel's pickets on that side, who d rove the teen back in a great hurry. They took to their boats, and Miguel's men advanced to the top of tl,e bill, from whence they commenced firing on the jiver, The Amelia lay not more than a ship's length en the larboard of the Childers, her foremast even e ith the latter's mainmast. The Captain's steward of the Childers was shot, and upwards of 200 bullets fired at the Orestes. Front her coppermark to her hani mock-rails she is spotted with and a great number passed through her awnings and the pair taro' clothto which were hung out to dry. Vety few shots struck the Childers, although the only sufferer was aboard that ship. He is not yet dead, but from the nature of his wound there itvsno hope of his re covery. At the moment it happened Captain Gies. cock was aboard the Childers, and the greatest credit is due to the two officers for the forbearance they displayed in tolerating an attack so entirely unprovoked. In Cap tain Deans, tie loss of a good servant, and his appearance bleeding upon deck, must have naturally caulk(' some strong excitement, but his sense of disciplin e a nd obedienc e to oroers rendered hint it not a willing at least a patient sufferer. Toe men on board both vessels were ordered below, and not even a show of hostility made. This was no doubt quite correct, but it was, I have no doubt, quite as contrary to human feelings—but perhaps all fur the hest. One thing is at all events plain, the Orestes was out of the way altogether, and could neither directly nor indirectly slid er the Amelia, arid yet upon I.er the chief brunt of the fire fell. There was no possibility of any Ig norance as to her being a British ship- of-war, and their appears consequently no excuse for the fire direcnd upon her. Had the two ships landed their Marines, and one or two boats' crews, these fellows would have run &reedy ; but it appears to toe that another question still remains. Have Dun Pedro's, or any other Dun's, people a right to conie, with a predetermined view of hostility, under our shelter, and screen themselves from the consequences? I thiok not. To he sure they may say the river is their own ; that it is a lis pendens, and it it were they ought to be able to keep it. Alureuvtr, after the notice sent last night, and, as I understand, the remonstrance of Don Pedro's Captain of the Port (Captain Rose) to the commander of the Amelia, I cannot think his conduct at all defensible. If he wished to shoot his arrows from under another's shield, he should have had a willing Ajax. This is a question which may give rise to some casuistry, and as to rights of anchoring here or anchoring there, a doubt may arise; but put the question on the ground of honour, and hearing the brunt of attacks yon provoke yourself, I don't think any doubt can arise. The various shots at Captain Brown and others will require that some decision should be come to. No doubt exists that Miguel's friends would he glad to shoot us, but it is absolutely necessary that something definite should he arranged. The Admiral, on hearing of the circumstances, has, I understand, ordered the ships lower down toward the bar, most probably he will find to a worse situation, certainly to one more exposed to the bad weather, now, I believe, coming on de cidedly. THE ASSAULT. " SATURDAY EVENING, 6 O'CLOCK BIICHAELMAS-DAY. " This morning the expected attack took place. It commenced upon the front position, the extreme right of the line, from whence it extended round by the British at Bon Fin to Agoardente, and Monte Pedral on the centre and left. In a short time almost the whole of these positions were attacked, the Miguelites advancing with great resolution, and the putting of the French and British hors de com bat was evidently their first .object. The French met them well, and repulsed them gallantly, but the enemy made a furious effort to separate the two divisions of the foreign brigade, and succeeded as far as to penetrate within the outer battery of the Bon Fin position, and actually came into the square of the British barracks. From this they were repulsed with slaughter, but not without great loss on the side of Don Pedro, every officer of the British corps having before 3 o'clock been billed or wounded, but two, who were equally forward with the rest. Colonel Burrell, who was to command the English cavalry, was killed while cheering the men with whom he served as a volunteer, musket in hand. This took place in the Barrack-yard. Lieutenants Souper and Burton were also killed. Colonel Hodges was wounded in the arm, Major Shaw in the breast, and all the rest as I have mentioned, but not severely. Count St. Leger and his Major were also wounded, with a great number of French. The enemy had advanced on this point with artillery, but on their repulse, which was well aided by the Cacadores of Donna Maria, they left two 9-pounders anti a how itzer in possession of this side. To give details would be impossible, as the fight cannot be said to be as yet over, although the enemy have retired at all points. In front of Agoardente, they took possession of a small hill, already the scene of two hard struggles, from which they were dislodged, and every where along the line they were received with the utmost bravery. The Emperor was, as usual, active and energetic. Upon the Serra another attack, evidently a diversion, was made, and the town was annoyed at the same time by shot and shells from Villa Nova. Of the small corps of cavalry here, entirely composed of officers, five were killed; and half an nour since, the English horse just arrived were put in requisi tion and mounted. " The enemy have retired, but not retreated, and another attack is calculated upon during the night or to-morrow. I hope it will be equally fruitless with ihat of to-day; but it is impossible now to give you anything further. " Sattorius, with his frigate and a brig, are off the harbour now, about three leagues to the westward. " The Confi ance, from Lisbon, bon,just arrived, leaves in the course of the night ; and I must be speedy, or cannot send off this. " SATURDAY NIGHT. "Finding that the Confiance has come into the liver, and does not leave until six o'clock in the morn ing, I have opened my letter to give you some other details, but which only confirm what I before wrote. The enemy, it appears, formed his troops into masses, with the view of attacking Don Pedro's right, the French and English brigades, under the command of Colon -1 Hodges. They came on by the route of S'. Cosme. They advanced gallantly, arid carried the position, which they did not, how ever, retain long, being driven out by a fierce charge from the French, supported by the only squadron of 50 cavalry upon this side, which distinguished itself greatly. The enemy again attacked and took the position, getting within the first and second barri cades, and a murderous conflict took place in the very square of the British barrack, under the church of Bon Fin. In order to support this attack, the enemy extended his light troops towards the extreme left of the centre of the line. There was a column in reserve to support these, which was thrown into disorder and rendered unavailable by the artillery from the lines. The Congreve rockets told with dreadful effect upon this mass. The left of the line was merely kept on the alert by skirmishes. On the final repulse of the enemy from the right, above 100 prisoners were made, and an eye-witness describes the gardens and enclosures near the British position as coveted with Miguel's dead and wounded. The loss upon this side was more important in officers than men; every effieer of the French corps, save one, being wounded. The Count de Sr. Leger will, I fear, lose his arm, as it is much shattered. I was present, late this evening, w hen 14 deserters were presented to the Emperor. They, I suppose, find ing the day against them, came over to the winning side; and they state that the loss of Don Miguel cannot have been less than 2,000 in killed, wounded, and prisoners. The firing began at 8 o'clock, and did not cease until half-past 6 in the evening, when the enemy retited, and went farther back than his position of yesterday. The deserters also say that the attacking force on the right amounted to 10,000 men, and there seems to be no doubt but the object was to annihilate the British and French. " Two attacks were made on the left of the Serra, from which grape was poured so thickly on the assailants, that they were on both occasions compelled to retire with loss. " I went to the Hospital of San Bento, and saw four of the British officers who were wounded. One of them, a fine young fellow, named Woolridge, I felt peculiar interest in; he came out as a volunteer since I arrived here, and would accept of no com• mission until he had earned it, which he did on the 16th, and %%as promoted on the field. His sole anxiety was to know whether the enemy were driven back ; and when I gave him assurance of that, he seemed to feel his wound as nothing, al though a bullet passed through his leg above the ancle, splintering the bone. The hospital presented a curious and a disagreeable spectacle. Men and offi cers of all grades were in the same room, their beds on trestles, for facility of removal, in case of death ; and while there, one instance, that of an English sergeant, occurred. He had been brought in a few hours before, shot through the body. Many per sons, particularly officers from the squadron, went out as spectators : and in one instance, I regret to say, this curiosity may, I fear, prove fatal, Mr. VI- Jai, the Admiral's purser, having been shot right through both sides over the hip. He is not yet dead, but his case is a had one. He was a gentle man universally respected in the fleet, and his wound is deeply deplored. The poor man shot yes terday on board the Childers is not yet dead, but mortification is set in, and no hope lett. " The event of the con:est being doubtful, the ships of war in the river are prepared to give every shelter to British subjects, arid Captain Glascock, of the Orestes, has his boats down, and guns loaded with grape, in case of any attempt to offer injury to its countrymen. The causeless fire of yesterday by Miguel's guerilla will hot be repeated without meet nig proper chastisement, but 1 hope the result of this day's fight has removed any danger to be ap prehended from this quarter. The Orestes and Childers have altered their positions, as they now lie it tins side of the river nearly opposite their former anchorage. The Colfflance, as she passed by Aveiro this morning, saw other boa's alongside the London Merchant and City of Edinburgh steamers fur the tebarkation of the troops twin this. The Emperor and all here are in high spirits, and his Majesty isited all the hospitals this evening before his re turn to the Palace. " Last night a great number of shells was thrown in from Villa Nova ; they fell in the lower part of the town, and did scarcely any mischief ; neither has the fire of this day proved injurious. " SUNDAY MORNING, 6 O'CLOCK. "Knowing the anxiety which will prevail, I wait until the last moment to send you intelligence. The night passed quietly, except a few discharges of musketry from the sentinels. Now that we are a little cooler, our only wonder is what stopped Mi guel's troops yesterday in forcing the position. Fourteen Portuguese officers (Don Pedro's) were killed, the wounded in proportion. The total amount of killed and wounded on this side is supposed to reach between 400 and 500. The 10th regiment nobly supported the British, who were almost swept on as if by a mighty torrent, such was the number and im petuosity of the assailants. Some friars were taken, and distinguished from the prisoners by the Emperor's ordering them to be brought chained by the leg like galley slaves into town. The English killed on the first attack, and left in the barrack,wh ch Miguel's people held for several hours, have, it is said, had bayonets run through their ears and noses, with other mutilations inflicted upon them. Ido not vouch for this, not having seen it, but shall in quire minutely with respect to it. I write this on board the Confiance. " All well with me. I think, however, we shall have another attack, and if repulsed, we shall be at ease for some time. Miguel's fellows fouatt like devils. I hOpe they may leave Villa Nova free, or that our fellows here will drive them out. I can form no idea of the number killed and wounded on this side, but it is heavy; what I have said of the French and English will prove this. All interest in Sartorius's movement is at an end ; our tars say that Miguel has ordered his Admiral not to fight, and that Sirtorius kept his company, to take care that he should fulfil his orders. I have had a hot day, and am tired and smoky." (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) (From the Morning Herald ) OPORTO, SATURDAY EVENING, 6 O'CLOCK, SEPTEMBER 29. The Con fiance steamer has just arrived from Lis bon. lam only afforded a few moments to commu nicate to you the events of this important day. The enemy, as I anticipated he would, commenced an attack at day-break, first on the French, then on the British, and then extended himself along the whole line, from right to left, making a corresponding movement on the Serra Convent. He has failed in every instance, and, a' I write, is retiring on all points, though in so orderly a manner, that I am convinced he is about making himself up for another assault, which the city will have either to-night or to-morrow morning. He handled the French and the British, who have the extreme right, very se verely, drove the former from his lines, and took one of the trenches, but he was repulsed with great vigour, the French losing several men and officers, and their Colonel, the Count Saint Leger, being wounded. The British were driven back, after a desperate resistance, and the enemy at one time had poss salon of the square of their barracks, but being reinforced by a detachment of Portuguese, they rallied in prime style, and regained their posts after cruel slaughter. Colonel Burrell, who had but just joined, being killed, Lieut. Luper and Ensign Burton being also killed, and every officer but one, Mr. Vanzella, being wounded. The French and British brigade were terribly cut up, it being evi dently the object of the enemy to destroy them be fore he made his attack ori the centre. Poor Burrell was shot as he was encouraging his men, crying out, " Come, my boys, we shall have some wine pre sently." It was a sad day for our countrymen, but they have saved the town. The enemy came up with great spirit along the posts occupied by the Portuguese, and were so far successful as to take a height opposite the battery of the Agoa Ardenti, and in many instances to get within the fire of the other batteries; but the lines were defended with so much resolution, that in all places he was driven back with considerable loss. Two of his nine-pounders and a howitzer were taken, and immediately turned against him. The whole affair was much more serious than any thing yet attempted. The assault was made with resolution, and repulsed with vigour and suc cess. The attack on the Serra was not violent, and the garrison had no difficulty in repulsing it. Sartorius, with one frigate and a gun - brig, has just anchored off the bar. SATURDAY NIGHT. The Admiral having sent the Conjiance steamer within the bar, for the mail, I am enabled to add a few lines to those I have already presented you with, descriptive of this day's proceedings. I find that the main attack was against the right of the line, occupied by the French and the British, and that the other operations were but feints to cover that attempt. A part of the French position was twice in his hands, but gallantly retaken and held ; and the British line was in his possession nearly three hours. It is astonishing, that, after having made such an impression on so strong a point, he did not find his way into the heart of the city; but a co lumn which were in waiting for the success of the skirmishers on the St. Cosme road were cut to pieces by the fire from the batteries as they tried to advance. The gallantry of the French is beyond all praise, and every one of their officers but one has shared the same fate with the British, being either killed or wounded. It was near three o'clock be fore the enemy was driven from the English bar racks, but his last volley left 16 of our poor fellows dead within the squire. His object was, evidently, to destroy the English and the French brigade,— which is supposed to give a tone to the whole army—before he ventures on the grand and final assault, which I calculate on his making to• night or to-morrow. I can give no idea of the numbers engaged, nor of the loss on either side. I suppose there were 3,000 men on the Sr. Cosme road, though the accounts from DJn Pedro's head• quarters estimate them at many more. The loss must have been severe on both sides, and it will be cruelly felt at this, as the lost men cannot be re placed, and I imagine the whole number under arms does not exceed 9,000, if so much. Colonel Sr. Leger's arm, I understand, mast be amputated ; and I am glad to hear that but a few of the British offi cers are severely wounded, and the greater number will be able to resume their posts to-morrow. I grieve to add that Mr. Vidall, the Purser of his Majesty's ship Asia, who ►vas looking on at the Eight from the same battery with the Emperor, was severely wounded, and it is doubtful if he can sur vive. The troops of Ihn Miguel fought with the greatest spirit ; and if they had not met with the obstinate resistance they did from the Foreign Bri gade, they must have carried the town. Ott this occasion, at least, their bravery is not roes dotted. You may very easily imagine with what anxiety the result of this day's contest has been looked fur by the English residents, and those who have no personal interest in the quarrel. The retire ment of the enemy, however, as the day closed, has relieved them for the present; and if to-morrow passes in tranquillity, they will think their safety secured. In the mean time our ships of war in the Douro have made arrangements to protect them if necessary — and the Orestes and the Childers, who have drawn but a little furthtr down, have prepared their guns, set their boats, and made all the usual dispositions to corer the retreat of such British subjects as are not connected with this warfare, who may apply to them for shelter. You will be astonished at what I am now going to sat, but you may depend upon its accuracy. The Echo Government steam,r has been sent into the river to-night, for the service of Don Pedro, should tie be compelled to fly. Captain . R >se and his party are gone to Aveiro, some persons say only to carry hither a part of the Ist Dragoons, who have intimated a wish to desert. SUNDAY MORNING, 5 O'CLOCK. AS the steamer has been detained to this hour, I am glad to have the opportunity of saying that the night has passed in tranquillity, not more than one or two shots having been fired, and the enemy, with unwonted generosi'y having abstained from throwing shells into the city. lam given to under stand that the loss at this side is cdculated at 400 men killed and wounded, among which are 17 Portuguese officers killed. Twenty deserters came in from the enemy, who report that his loss was much greater. There were 100 prisoners taken ; among them was a friar, whom the Emperor ordered to be brought into the city in irons. lam glad to say another British officer, Lieutenant Walsh, has escaped unhurt. The British and French Bri gade are so cut up and disorganised that I do not see how the enemy can be kept out if he falls to-day again resolutely on their position. FALMOUTH, THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 4. Last evening, the Ebenezer, Abbinetr, put in here by contrary wind, from Portsmouth, for Oporto, with about 50 volunteers on board for the cavalry regiment for Pedro's service. There is now in our harbour the same number on board the cutter Osprey, destined for the same purpose, and several of the Commanding Officers landed here last night from the Royal Tar steamer, from London. They will all proceed with the first wind. (From the Lisbon and Oporto Papers.) LISBON, SEPT. 21 —A supplement to the Gazette of the 20th gives some reports from Senhor N. d'Abreu Cas tello Branco, commander of the moveable column to the south of the Douro, addressed to General Pezo da Regoa, and by him forwarded to the Government. " The first despatch, dated the 12th of September, gives a raport of a sally made on the 10 th by 400 men from the convent of La Serra, who, under the protection of the heavy fire from two brigs, a corvette, and the batteries of the convent, landed and attacked the battalion of the Ca gadores of Lower Beira. The two batteries which were in Villa Nova repulsed the rebels, and obliged them to retreat to their intrenchments. . y '• The iemainder of this despatch is filled with commen dations of the officers who distinguished themselves. " On the 11 th there was some firing of musketry, in which an ensign was wounded. The King's troops had 7 men killed, 28 men and 2 officers severely wounded, 23 men and 2 officers slightly wounded. " A second despatch of the 15th states, that according to the orders he bad received, he marched on the Bth towards Villa Nova. After a great deal of hard fighting, the rebels were obliged to shut themselves up in their con vent, and at night the posts of the King's army were in the streets of Villa Nova. The troops behaved extremely well, and it was difficalt to restrain their ardour. The loss of the rebels could not be ascertained. They left 3 dead in the first trench, and 3 prisoners. It appears from their own Gazette that the military governor of Oporto, Ber nardo de sa Nogueira, had lost an arm, and that a cannon ball killed an officer close to Don Pedro. The next day the rehels kept up a constant fire from their artillery, which,' says the report, I did not return, as the con sumption of their powder did us little harm.' " The great magazines of wine and iron-works at Villa Nova have been preserved as far as circumstances and the continued fire kept up by the enemy permitted." " P. S. In the magazine of Furador, we found after wards a considerable number of hart eta of gunpowder, and er.nnon-balls of various siz e s, which I sent to the rear, because they were exposed to vessels which command the river. "Killed, 18 ; severely wounded, 1 colonel, 37 privates; slightly wowad.d, 19. " SEPT. 22..—The Gazette announces that Govern ment received, by :he maiti of the 14th, 17th, and 19th, highly satisfactory accounts front the magistrates of above 50 districts. " Sari. 23.—We are authorized to announce, that on the 20th inst. all our batteries opened their fire against the city of Oporto. " SEPT. 24.—A despatch from Viscount do Pezo da 11,goa to the Conde de Barbacena states, that there re main none of the enemy's ve , seis opposite Vilia Nova, the Amelia corvette and the brig having fled to Orio totally ruined, and the Liberal having been sunk." (The Gazette of the 25th is not come to hand, those of the 26th, 27th, and 28th contain no farther news from the the army.) (From the Chronica Constitucional of Oporto.) " OPaRTO, SEPT. 26.—From eleven to midnight of the 25th, the enemy made a new attack on the Convent of La Serra, but the garriaon letting them come near, fired two discharges of grape-shot, which obliged them to retreat with loss and disgrace. " The number of deserters that come and ask to join our ranks increases daily ; they do not come front °be, but different corps, which is a proof that they all wish to abandon the cause of the usurper. " What we have said and our extracts from foreign journals show we may expect considerable succours from all quarters. We have mentioned those received by the Britomart ; many more are on the way, and yesterday a ship came with 52 horses ; many others will follow. " On the 23d, the Commander of the English sqoadron off Oporto ; having ordered two of his ships to anchor in the Douro to protect the EnOish and their property, sent an officer with a fig of truce to the Viscount do Pezt da Regoa, with a despatch, in which the Commander intimated to the Gen2ral of the rebels, that in case of any injury to the persons or property of Englishmen by the troops at Villa Nova, the Commanders of the two ships had orders to fire. The officer went by the way of Valongo, and on arriving at the posts of the rebels was conducted to Aguas Sanet is, the head-quarters. The first person he met there was Sir John Campbell, (the same who a few months ago protested in all the journals of Paris that he was not an agent of Don Miguel, and would not enter into his service). This honourable Englishman asked his countryman if is was true that two English men-of-war had anchored in the Douro; and, on b ing answered in the affirmative, he stamped with his foot, exclaiming, Such conduct of the English Government is infamous. If Senhor Don Miguel had 50.000 men, that Government would not act thus.' The Viscount do P,zo da Regoa afterwards appiared, and after having read the letter, said that his commission was entirely military, but he should transmit the contents to bis Government, and that in 48 hours he should have an answer. Before he departed, the officer asked for a glass of water. ' There,' said the po lite Sir J.

FROM THE SUB PREFECT OF BAYONNE TO THE MINIS TER OF THE INTERIOR. The French Ambassador at the Court of Spin has written the following from St. Edell:ow, bearing date Sept. 29 : " The King, who has several times been given up by all the physicians, is now apparently recovering. If he continues in the present state, I should think that to-mor row, or at furthest the day after, be will be declared out of danger." (From Galignani's Messenger.) Extract of a letter from Bona, dated Sept. 9:— " Ibrahim Bay, emboldened by our apparent supineness, made an attack upon us yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, at tie head of between 1,200 and 1,500 men, collected from the several hostile tribes. But the commandant, having received timely notice of the intention from bis emissaries, was fully prepared ;.43 receive them, though he concealed his preparations from the enemy. The contest was short, and decisive in our favour. The enemy had 'Up wards of I . :0 men killed, but only two prisoners were taken ; we, however, captured his camp, including Ibra him's own tent. The 5Z.,:h carried off a standard, four horses, a mule, and some arms ; the Turks, under Captain y o ussout, also gained a small standard, 12 muskets, 10 yataghans, and some musical ins'rurnents belonging to Ibrahim. The 55th had one grenadier killed, and six wounded ; and the Turks had only one man killed and wounded. The friendly tribes remained neuter, and several of them were totally ignorant of the attack, as die markets were supplied as usual." - - . Thc Ministetial arrangements were not definitively settled at a late hour last night. An express has been received from Dunkirk, announcing the arrival of the Marquis of Dalmatia thereon Monday, o n his way from the Hague to Paris. A letter of the 27th ult. from the Hague, after announcing that the French Ambissador was on the point of quitting that ca pital, adds, that his devarture appears to have no connec tion with the present political crisis. A letter of the 27th ult. tram Lausanne says—" The Duke of Brunswick, on arriving at Orbe, was immediately set at liberty, and treated with the greatest respect. It is believed that he will receive passports, authorising kiln to travel through all parts of Switzerland." An English cutter arrived on the 30th ult. at Cher bourg with several pilots from the north, destined to steer the French fleet, should it sail for the coast of Holland. The receipts of tt,e Custom-house at Hivre in Septem ber amountA to 2,800,000 francs, which presents a cell- Niderable excess upon the receipts of foregoing years. Several of the French papers announce that the rector of the church of Nutre Dame de Bonne Nouvelle has re fused to celebrate the marriage of Voloys, an actor of the Vaudeville, with 11111 e. Leontine Fay, of the Gymnate. • (From the Nouvelliste.)

PARIS, OCT. 2.—The subject which at present en gages the attention of the diplomatic world is the trium phant march of the Pacha of Egypt towards the capital of the Ottoman Empire. There are persons not indisposed to believe that he is encouraged in his projects by the Emperor Nicholas, whose Cabinet has not abandoned the idea, which since the time of Catherine has constantly predominated in the councils of the Czars. Her conquest of Turkey, and the estab lishment of Russia on the Greek Archipelago, are the fa vourite ideas of the Sovereigns of Russia, aid the whole attention of the country is turned to that side. If, to please aristocratic opinions, the Autocrat has pronounced an anathema on the ideas of liberty which arose in the West of Europe, the mass of the nation does not under stand this; but it perfectly conceives the advantage it would derive by extending its dominion to the East, and it continually urges its Sovereigns in that direction, to which it attaches so many hopes of happiness and prosperity. Europe, on its part, has not to fear , the encroachment of Russia towards Germany, because, since the partition of Poland, the frontier of Russia adjoins two powerful States, which may indeed support the projects of the Au tocrat of the North, but are by no means disposed to sa crifice to him the smallest portion of their territory. It is not the same on the side of Turkey ; Europe can not interpose passively between it and Russia. On that side the question is not merely not to commit, but to pre vent, and this is the great difficulty of the times. If the Pacha of Egypt should reach Constantinople, depose the Sultan, and make a revolution in the capital of the empire, it is impossible to foresee what will result from it ; and the great armaments of Russia, originally intended to march towards the West, may very likely take another direction and advance to the Bosphorus. We positively know that the Cabinets of London, Vienna, and Paris are not easy on this head. The Eu ropean collision may very likely come from a different point from Belgium, and the Conference might soon have to direct its attention to a more serious question than that which, during the last eighteen months, has produced its innumerable and useless Protocols. The National says, " We have seen a letter from Dieppe, in which we read the following lines:—' The Duchess of Berri arrived here nu the 24th. She put up at the Hotel de Londres, where she remained the 25th and 26th, and departed in the steam-boat on the 27th. This we have just learned, on the return of the steam.boat.'"
