The guerilla fighting has continued at intervals about Vizeu, Guards. and Coimbra. The works of the canal of AzArnbuja, for rendering the Tagus navigable about thirty miles from Lisbon, aro still carried on by a company, of which the leading mem ber is the Marquis de Foy al. On the Ist information reached us that the Miguelito General, Povoas, in the service of the Junta, admitted in the Beira Alta, where he had been endeavouring to get up a pronunciamiento, that after the effective inter. position of the three Powers resistance was hopeless, but that the appearance of strong resistance should still be continued, with a view to a more favourable trans action at the end. Baron de Ourern was still pursuing the guerillas of the Serra de Estrella, and several of them had returned to their homes. The exchange on London is 54i ; the discount on Bank of Lisbon notes is still at 2,300. The funds are beginning again to look up, and purchases to be made. The distress is Lisbon is little mitigated. The high price of provisions continues, and the long subsisting disturbances cause the markets to be badly supplied. It is next to an impossibility to get a pound of mutton fit to eat. The oranges this season have been very inferior, and the state of Setubal cuts off our usual supply from that quarter. This dearth of fruit is felt the more be cause the summer heats have set in here within the last few days, and are of unusual intensity. Much injury has been done within a very short period to wheat, In dian corn, and other cereals, the plants at this period being so tender and easily dried up. The fierceness of the heat for nearly a week bas been perfectly tropical, and has injured even the vines. Some nights the heat has been of equal intensity as during the day, and tha thermometer at times has stood at 100 deg. of Fahren heit in the shade. POSTSCRIPT, FIVE O'CLOCK, P.M.—All difficulties and heartburnings connected with St. Julian's have at length been overcome or quieted. The prisoners have taken possession, but not till cases of typhus had ap peared. The disembarkation of the last of the prisoners was completed this day about noon. Some of them were in a dreadful state, in consequence of the overcrowding of the vessels and the total absence of ventilation, clean sing, and commissariat. Sir H. Seymour's exertions have been incessant up to this moment in endeavouring to procure all possible appliances for the prisoners' ac commodation and well-being. The native authorities do not seem quite to understand that men whose crime though grievous is still only of opinion, are not to be treated with vindictive persecution. Some difficulty was raised as to giving up the entire control of St. Julian's to the allies; but Sir 11. Seymour has happily overcome this obstacle. There are some indications of a wish entertained by both Das Antes and Sada Bandeira to accept an honour able compromise. Under such circumstances, her Faith ful Majesty would do wrong to withhold the clemency which she set out by demonstrating. • •. • ,~ I f r 4 ki ',Ns+ . •' - t fi. 7.l .

THE CIVIL WAR IN• PORTUGAL. (From the Times.) seen in various parts of the city; but the police increased its activity, the bludgeon men were disarmed, and the public peace was so well protected during the night that not a single act of injury occurred. The people of Villa, Nova at the other side of the Douro were not so fortu nate, and a few persons. known as Cabralistas were beaten. The Junta certainly deserve credit for their forbearance, for, according to the account which they publish, and to the answers which they have given to such Englishmen as called on them, the letter of Sir Hamilton Seymour, declaratory of the final intentions of the British Government, though dated Lisbon, May 20, was not delivered to the Casa Pia (palace of; the Junta) till one o'clock of the afternoon of the 31st, exactly nine hours after the fleet and expedition were captured. This fact is so strange—it is so contrary to British good faith and repugnant to every feeling of fair play, that I have made minute inquiries into it; and lean state with certainty that the letter in question was not delivered by our Consul till after one o'clock P.M., on Monday the 31st, the capture of the expedition having taken place at 4 A.M., or just nine hours previously. It is argued that the intentions of our Government were no secret, that every one knew the capture would be made as soon as the Gladiator cleared the bar, that the flight of so many English families was a sufficient warning. But the Junta state in reply, that suspicion is not proof; that the " friendly advice " of Sir Thomas Maitland to the Mindello calmed their appre hensions, and that acts of hostility are not committed by civilized nations without an official declaration of war. There is some reason in this statement, for either the Junta are traitors, and sent out their squadron and the flower of their army to be captured—or they placed con fidence in the friendly advice of Sir Thomas Maitland and the "probably" of Colonel Wylde. We cannot sup pose the► were such bitter fools as to walk quietly into the lions den—and the-non delivery of Sir Hamilton Seymour's letter till after the capture makes out a prima facie case in their favour. Leaving that matter to be explained in a satisfactory manner, as I have no doubt for the honour of the British name it will be, I give the letter of Sir Hamilton Seymour, of the non-delivery of which, before the expedition cleared the Douro, the Junta so much complain.

" The undersigned, subjects of her Britannic Majesty, re sident in the heroic city of Oporto, deeply affected by the generosity and kindness with which the excellent Junta, the authorities, the troops, and inhabitants of the said city have acted in so painful a crisis towards them, feel it to be a duty, no less sacred than pleasing, to make known the sentiments of gratitude by which they are animated. The benevolence of a people of cavaliers fully justifies the confidence with which they have placed themselves under its protection. They are anxious to show by every means in their power the grateful sentiments by which they are animated— and they cannot refrain from offering to the All Powerful their humble but ardent prayers for the welfare, happiness, and prosperity of the great Portuguese family. The undersigned avail themselves, &c. &c.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) I have not had an opportunity of writing since my dispatch of the 29th in consequence of the strict orders given by the British Admiral to allow no communication with the shore. We are therefore confined to our over land couriers to Vigo, and even they are sent only in the hope that the Lisbon steamer on its way home will con tinue to touch at that place, and take charge 'of. the Oporto mail. As I closed my letter of the 29th, the Gladiator steamer was clearing the Douro, Captain Robb having contrived, by unshipping the covers of his paddle-boxes and by other contrivances, to reduce her draught to 15k feet, and the expedition destined for the south had also got over the bar, the infantry being still on shore ready for embarkation at the word of command. The General in-Chief, Count das Antas, and all the members of the Junta, were present, and as the day was Sunday, and the weather propitious, all the inhabitants of Oporto were assembled at the Fox. Rumours of British armed intervention had been current for several days, as some part of the orders received by the Bulldog steamer had transpired, and the alarm became so great on the Saturday and the Sunday morning that a perfect panic seized the Eaglks!e, mild no less than 230 of our fellow-countrymen, • aftMcling servants and children, embarked in the homeward-bound packet, the Gladiator, and other vessels. I believe eighty-four of the lot fell to Captain Robb's share, not to speak of thirty-three chil dren, some being babies of ten days old, so that the comforts of her Majesty's steamer were distributed on a scale never contemplated by her shipwright or the Ad miralty. Some people regret that floating cradles and a crew of able-bodied waiting-maids had not been provided for the occasion by the British Government, but these persons are unreasonable, and the duty was efficiently performed on board this new nursery for seamen with the ordinary resources of the fleet. At three o'clock the members of the Junta deliberated together on the possibility of the expedition being inter fered with by the British squadron off the bar, or by the ships under the immediate orders of the Admiral at Lis bon. It was suggested that the Gladiator had lett the Douro; that numerous English families had embarked: chat unexecuted menaces were never made by our Go vernment; and that all these circumstances clearly de monstrated the hostile intentions of the fleet. These suggestions were answered by an appeal to facts—that no threat unaccompanied by the q ual i tic at ion " probably" had been used either by Colonel Wylde, Sir 11. Seymour, or ter the Douro, to a simple that his t o h r e d e l r a t t t o e r a a only pta tn t s w a o l t e d r , a , y o s f Sir Thomas Maitland; t p h r e evi m ou i s u l d y e , i h o a , d to drueceedt ra ter " friendly advice," and that, in truth, up to that moment no distinct threat of seizure or stoppage bad been made by any British agent. Under these circumstances the order to embark w4s given, and about five o'clock 2,400 men were drawn up in front et the house occupied by Das Antas—colours were distributed by his lady to one of the battalions—a speech was made by the Com mander-in-Chief—hearty vivas were given by the surrounding multitude, and the embarkation com menced amidst the greatest enthusiasm, both on the part of the troops and the people. While this was going on, the British squadron, consisting of a fri gate, a brig of war, and three large steamers, lay off Lhe bar, a witness of all that passed, but no message was sent in, nor any order given, even under the shape of " friendly advice." About six o'clock the British Consul arrived at the Fez, and had an interview of nearly half an hour with Das Antas. The object of the Consul was to deliver a letter, dated the 28th of May, from Sir Hamilton Seymour, refusing to protect the commissioners whom the Junta had proposed to address personally to the Queen, for the purpose of having a national question decided by national means. Our Con sul, I have no doubt, advised Das Am u i n a b ec o m i ng manner; but lam positively informed that Mr. John stone did not declare that the expedition would be seized, or use any language unqualified by the word " proba bly." The interview being over, Das Antas himself em barked, and the Consul returne d to town for the purpose of delivering to the Junta the letter alluded to of the 28th, as Das Antes had declined officially to receive it, on the ground that being Commander-in-Chief of an expeditionary movement he had for the time resigned his presidency of the Junta. The Consul did deliver the letter, and had at the same time a long conversation with that body; but I have reason to know without once ex ceeding the limits of advice, or converting" probability" into certainty. The letter is as follows:—. " Lisbon, May 28.

The protocol signed in London on the 22d ult. has already borne fruits. Active and most effectual inter vention has taken place within eight days of the signa tures being affixed. Three steamers, a corvette, and eight smaller vessels, in the service of the Junta, with 2,400 men on board of them, have been seized by our blockading squadron at the muuth of the Douro, and are now within the Tagus, the vessels restored to the Queen of Portugal, and the insurgent division which filled them imprisoned in Fort St. Julian. In my last I mentioned the return of the war-steamer Bulldog to Lisbon, on the evening of the 27th ult., after a rapid voyage of four days from Portsmouth, with dispatches for Sir 11. Seymour and Admiral Parker, communicating the signing of the protocol and the fur ther instructions. Not an instant was lost in trans mitting corresponding instructions by the Bulldog to the commander of our squadron at Oporto, who was directed (as I intimated in my last) to " make the blockade effective," in conjunction with a French ship of war. Within thirty hours after these instructions reached Oporto, a grand expedition which the Junta had prepared to sail for Peniche, about thirty miles north of Lisbon, and, disembark there, to march on the capital, in pursuance of the policy which I described in a former letter, and which designed to hustle Donna Maria off the throne and get her out of the kingdom before Lord Palmerston could have arranged with France and Spain ai to the ulterior proceedings, sailed from the Douro, with Das Antas on board a s comman d er - . _ London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans.

"It becomes my duty, with the same views that dictated my former letter, again to address you. " I beg, then, to apprize you and the Junta of Oporto, that a disregard on their part of the injunction to atstain from all warlike operations by sea and land, until reference shall have been made to the allied Governments, will be followed by measures which will be the prelude of any others of the same kind which may become necessary for putting a atop to a useless expenditure of blood in Portugal. "Her Majesty's squadron have in the first instance re ceived orders to close the port of Oporto against the egress and ingress of all vessels of war, and others engaged in war like operations, belonging to the Junta, and while the same measures will be carried into effect in the case of all other ports and harbours recognising the authority of the Junta, any other precautions which prudence may suggest will be taken to prevent all unnecessary collision. "It is my further duty, although the precaution is, I hope and believe, unnecessary, to apprize you—and I beg to do so in the most serious manner—that her Majesty's Government will hold the Junta, both collectively and individual!y, as well as all officers, civil and military, of the Junta, respon sible forany the least act of violence towards the persons and properties of her Majesty's sutjects.

Th.. expeditionary squadron chose to disregard this in timation, and was proceeding to pass out of the river when, of course, without firing a shot, which would have been madness, considering the superiority of naval force on our side, they gave themselves up as prisoners, with many protestations that they y ielded only to constraint and force," and with a formal declaration that they surrendered to the Allied Powers, and not to the Queen of Portugal. This important seizure took place at sunset on the 30th ult. It was the more important because the three insurgent steamers which left Oporto about ten days since (as detailed in my last) had returned and formed part of the present expedition. The vessels seized by the allied squadron were the following :—Steamers—Royal Tar, Mindello, Porto, corvette Eighth of July ; Merchant vessels—Florida Amizade and Amor da Patria, and six hiates—in all 12 vessels, having on board a force of 2,400 men of all arms, with 50 horses and two pieces of artillery, the military commander of the expedition being the Conde das Antes, and the naval commander an Eng lishman, named Salter, who deserted at the commence- A i , Perma• 'Sum the A o. <TI 1 Annual Policy Ronus in' nent Re- Assured li E I Pre- , taken addition Bonus in duction of may bor es 'I Miura. out in Assured. , Cash.

An important INVENTION connected with the formation of the permanent way of railway lines (which has been proved on one of the principal lines in Lancashire), is, for the satisfaction of the pa tentee, and for confirmation of its adaptation for the purposes pro posed, undergoing the severest test as to form of construction and that of strength for durability, which, when completed, a report will be published of the result of the test by a scientific gentleman of eminence. The invention will effect-1. A very considerable saving in the formation of the permanent way, by entirely superseding the use of wood sleepers, loose chairs, treenails, and spikes. 2. The laying of the line can be accomplished a: a very diminished amount of labour and cost in comparison wilt the mode at present adopted. 3. The future maintenance of the permanent way may be reduced fully one•half of the present cost. A scientific report will be fur nished in a few days, and the patentee has considered it desirable to adopt this expedient to intimate to railway boards somewhat of the advantages of the invention, that railway companies about to contract for sleepers, chairs, &c., may defer such arrangements for a short period.

Of the stock it will be sufficient to state that it challenges competition ; the wines are of the highest class, and will be bound to merit the approval of the most fastidious connoisseur. There are 23 bins, comprising the fol lowing choice qualities :- 96 dozens of Thompson and Croft's celebrated tort Wine. 47 dozens of Warre Brothers,' remarkably tine Port Wine. 12 dozens of Sandiman's very choice old Port. 10 dozens of highly-esteemed Madeira, imported for Prince Albert. 46 dozens of rare Pale Sherry, Also, the wine-baskets, truck and went of this insurrection from the naval service of the Queen of Portugal, and has since been doing all the in jury he could to his adopted Sovereign. The prize was made on the bar in front of Oporto, and all the vessels immediately cast anchor. Das Antas was on board the Mindello steamer, and was allowed to remain there ; but Salter was removed on board the Bulldog. Several of the most important amongst the insurgent leaders were likewise on board the vessels forming the insurgent squadron, and the leaders remaining in Oporto are for the most part Miguelites. The commander of the blockading squadron, in pur suance of his instructions, informed Count das Antas and the other leaders who surrendered themselves prisoners to the allies. thut they should be immediately brought to the Tagus, where the orders of the British Minister and Admiral could be taken as to how they were to be dis posed of. Accordingly, they sailed for the Tagus, es• corted by a sufficient force, including our fine steamers the Sidon and the Gladiator, and arrived here the day be fore yesterday.

This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, the common symptoms of which are costiveness, flatniency, spasms, loss of appe tite, sick head-ache, giddiness, sense of fulness after meals, dizziness of the eye:, drowsiness, and pains in the stomach and bowels. In digestion, producing a torpid state of the liver, and a consequent inac tivity of the bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of the frame. will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perse verance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects.

Ludgate-hill, to receive the report of the half-year, and on general business. Mr. T. H. Sterry in the chair. The Rev. T. Evans, A.M., the chaplain, pro duced the financial statement . , which showed the receipts to be 3,5101. Pis.. and the balance in hand, after paying all ex penses, 5201. 18s. " I had previously the honour of stating that the terms granted to the Queen of Portugal's subjects in arms against her Majesty's authority were, in the opinion.of her Majesty's Government, acceptable and gracious; and a record now exists of the same views being entertained by the allied Courts principally interested in this affair. " The knowledge, then, which I possess of the feelings, as well of the Portuguese Government, as those of the Govern ments closely allied to Portugal, clearly does not warrant the expectation, that a negotiation between her Most Faith ful Majesty and the Junta can have been looked to. " Her Most Faithful Majesty took certain engagements towards her Britannic Majesty's Government —made known certain intentions towards her subjects; and the one and the other were placed on the same secure basis, the unques tioned good faith of your gracious Sovereign. " It follows from what precedes, that it would not be in my power to become a party to a plan which may have for ;ts object the nomination of comm►ssioners by the Junta, appointed to treat and negotiate with the Government of her Most Faithful Majesty respecting an extension of the concessions made by the Crown. " At the same time I beg to assure you—indeed the assur ance, I hope, is not necessary—that no one would more than myself rejoice on seeing a body of her Most Faithful Ma subjects, at present, and I am willing to believe from misapprehension, alienated from their gracious Sovereign, standing again before her throne. " Such respectful communication would, I feel confilent, lead to the best results, and such it would be not only my duty, but my happiness to promote. "G. H. SEY MOITR." Thus closed the Sunday night, some degree of confi dence being given to the few English families remaining by a hint that nothing hostile would be done by our fl .et in this vicinity, on account of the great value of British property in Oporto ; and that the expedition would not be disturbed till it reached Cascaes. In fact, on Monday morning, the whole of our squadron and the ships of the Junta were seen peaceably, and to all ap pearance sociably, at anchor off the bar—" the wolf lying down with the lamb"—but a notice placed on the bar book soon altered the case, and we saw, as it ex plained, that the Portuguese fleet was in fact environed by the British squadron. The whole truth then became known, and it wai found that, at 4 A.M. on Monday, Sir Thomas Maitland had captured the whole of the Junta's ships, and had disarmed the expedition.• This was done in so offhand and characteristic a manner that I cannot do less than give the correspondence which accompanied it. The correspondence begins with the following sum mons to surrender from Sir Thomas Maitland Si) the Count das Antes : er •' I have "H e M h a l s o st u Y ; B to S O m p y ort ord o, e M r3 a a y re 3l. n a b:t o rt im perative to take possession • f the Junta's vessels of war, troops, &c. If they do not immediately anchor near the America, I shall be compelled, however reluctantly, to use force. rinAmeyrio "‘T. MAITLAND." Of course Das Antes, on receiving this letter, saw that he had no chance of escaping, and so, making a virtue of necessity, he struck his flag and wrote the fol lowing answer to Sir Thomas:.... if mindello, off Oporto, May 31. " I have received the communication which your Excel lency has made me. Surrounded by forces so much superior to those under my command, I co nsider myself a p r i soner o f war. I protest most solemnly against this vi o l ent i n f ract i on of the laws of nations; against war, without any previous de claration of war, on a friendly nation ; against the greatest abuse of force ever made under circumstances of the greatest aggravation, which dishonours for eve r th e English nation. Your Excellency will be pleasedjto give orders as to the ulti mate destination of the force now under your command. " CONDE DAS ANTAS. " Sir Thomas Maitland did not leave Das Ant os long in i gnor ance of his intentions , and he proce e d e d at once to th e disarmament of the troops in the foll ow i ng charac teristic manner:— " A merica, command are no w p r i soners o f war, in order to prevent unne cessary bloodshed, I h ave t h e honour to request that YOU wil l give the necess ar y di rect i ons to them to lay down their ai ms , otherwise I m us t use th e means in my power to oblige them to do it. i troops er Ma j e under ty Majesty's ship your " A s the " T. MAITLAND." This order was obeyed without resistance. I am told that one of our boats fired unnecessarily into one of the smaller Junta vessels, and that two men were killed; but as that affair is under inquiry, I will not more specially allude to it. I hear that one officer stabbed himself to the heart sooner than give up his sword, and that two sailors threw themselves overboard, one of whom had the good luck to swim to shore. The full extent of the news was not known till the afternoon of Monday. It, of course, produced a violent irritation in the town, and caused the remaining English subjects to reflect very seriously on their situation. The Junta, however, behaved admirably ; not one of them quitted his post, and by their orders strong patrols of cavalry and infantry were put in movement, with strict orders to protect strangers and to repress every symptom of disorder. Had the J unta shown the white feather. had they consulted t heir p ers onal safety and fle d, bea‘p appeared a i alive d to d u w r r i i n t write t t h h e i this d a let ter, e came m nor e to -residents.

" When I was prepared this morning to proceed with the expedition placed under my command, according to the order of the Junta, I received an intimation from the Commander in-Chief of the naval forces of her Britannic Majesty, close to the bar of Oporto, to anchor under the cover of its artillery. I required that the said order should be given to me in writing, in order that I might comply with my duties to the Junta as a soldier under its command, though obliged to yield to a superior force. I then received the accompanying notice from the Commander of the English forces. Under these circum stances, surrounded by several English ships of war superior to us in force, and my strength consisting chiefly of soldiers, fit to act on land and not at sea, I felt myself unable to repel force by force, and was compelled to lay down my arms, which I did, accompanying the act by a protest (a copy of which is annexed) against the unjust aggression made on Portugal. "I am, &c., " CONDE DAS ANTAS." The Junta at the same time addressed a formal pro test to the English Consul, but as this document is too long for your columns, I only extract the moat pointed passages. After reciting the facts of the case, the Junta say, " We protest solemnly against this fcreign inter vention in the domestic affairs of Portugal, which, as a nation free and independent, has an indisputable right to constitute itself politically according to the existing laws. We protest against this flagrant violation of the rights of nations." The Junta adds, " Yielding to force and violence, but still solemnly protesting,- we assent to the armistice required by Sir 11. Seymour, on the con dition contained in his letter, that the forces of the Government of Lisbon shall at the same time abstain from all hoitilities by sea and land; but, as before the - receipt of the said letter of Sir 11. Seymour the com mander of the British naval forces off the bar of Oporto thought proper, without any declaration of war, or previous intimation, to take possession, against the usage of civilised people, in a manner hitherto unknown, of the squadron and troops belonging to the Junta, we protest solemnly against the act, as one which vio lates all national law, and which we never could have expected from the old and faithful ally of Portugal." The Junta then say, "We are engaged in drawing up a protest to be addressed to all the Powers of Eu rope and the civilised world ; but, in the meantime, we call on you to restore to us the ships and soldiers of the expedition, because the orders of the British Go vernment apply only to ships of war and not to land forces. Secondly, because the pretext having ceased under which the ships were arrested, those vesaels should he allowed to re-enter the Douro, and be placed in the position in which they were antecedent to the capture; and, thirdly, because the expedition was sent out under the faith of national law by the Commander-in-Chief, who obeyed orders given by the Junta in ignorance of the intentions of the British squadron. The Junta at the same time issued the following proclamation to the Civil Governor of Oporto for conservation of order and the protection of strangPrs!— " The Provisional Junta, in the name of the nation anl the Queen, command the Civil Governor of Oporto to publish the necessary orders that all strangers resident in the terri tory obedient to the Junta shall continue to enjoy the pro tection and guarantees hitherto received bythem—no matter what may be the relations of the Government of the said strangers with the Portuguese nation—and that the utmost rigour of the law shall be directed against those who shall offend or injure such strangers as occupy themselves with their private affairs and do not interfere in domestic political questions. The Junta anticipates that all persons under its administration will in this important crisis afford indubitable proof of their advance in civilization." The Junta followed up these orders with the most energetic measures, and I am glad to say that not a single Englishman has had reason to complain of the slightest insult or injury. The people were much irritated on seeing their fleet carried to the south ward, each of our steamers having a Portuguese vessel in tow ; but the peace of the city was so well preserved that we walked about in full security, and even those who- committed the imprudence of being out at late hours of the night reached their homes in safety. This good conduct was observed under the additional aggravation that Marshal Saldanha, in defiance of the armistice, advanced his head-quarters to Grigo within two leagues of the city, and his advanced posts to Campo Grande, only one league, and that a Spanish force had crossed at Valence, from Galicia, and defeated with great loss the Junta troops stationed near that place. lam told that Sal danha, when remonstrated with for disregarding the armistice, said, that the orders for advance had been previously given, and that he was glad to be near Oporto to assist the Junta in protecting the persons and property of strangers. I suppose the leader of the Spanish troops at Valenta will offer a similar excuse. The conduct of Saldanha does not escape criticism here—and men exclaim against the Duke who remained four months quiet at Oliveira, and never moved a step forward until he had the cover of an armistice, and found that the Junta lost 2,400 men in one sweep. The Marshal must not be too sure, for if there be not treason in the town, and the negotiation be broken off, he has not the means of reducing Oporto. The garrison was kept under arms for two nights in con sequence of Saldanha's approach ; the lines of the south were fully manned; the head of Villa Nova, and the river, protected by artillery ; and as the duty seemed to be cheerfully done, I should think the Marshal would not have been pleased %with his reception had he attacked. The Valenga affair is more serious, the Junta troops suffered severely—a toes of 100 men is the minimum ; an immediate retreat took place to Ponte do Lima, and I believe that not one, but many, have come back to Oporto. I am very glad, before I close this letter, to say that I have had an opportunity of ascertaining whether Sir Thomas Maitland, the Spanish Consul, or the:Duke of Saldanha, had conformed to the armistice now offered to be accepted by the Junta. ; and I find that none of these persons have officially a; ;reed to it. They contend that the armistice was proposed merely to give time for re ceiving the answers of the great Powers ; and that pur pose having been answered by the Bulldog's dispatches, the offer of an armistice terminates of itself. I believe, however, that friendly steps have been taken to induce Saldanha to suspend his onvi -ard march, and that while he appears to accede the Spaniards obstinately refuse. The sortie from Valenca is b ut the first effort of Spanish determination, and other trc iops will immediately pass the frontier, unless orders tt the contrary have been iven. I also find that the Jut Ata are willing to accept the amnesty and the four artist es ; and I therefore pre sume that our Minister and the Court of Lisbon will accept the offer, and thus term irate an affair which may lead to unpleasant consequence s. I conclude my letter by givit tg you copies of an ad• dress, presented by all the British residents now remain ing in Oporto to the Junta, that. Acing that body for its vrotection of their persons and r?roperty in the present crisis ; and of an address presen t.ed to Captain Robb, of the Gladiator, previous to that , officer having left the Douro ;•-.. at the mouth of the Tagus, was determined on as being, all things considered, the most fitting place for the pur pose. The prisoners were disembarked there in the course of yesterday, Sir H. Seymour, Admiral Parker, and Colonel Wylde, having taken active measures to se cure the twofold object of their safe keeping and the best accommodation, with a view to their personal comfort, that could be obtained. Sir 11. Seymour was especially engaged for many hours of yesterday and the day before in settling various difficulties connected with our occu pation of the fort as a place of secure and healthy custody of the prisoners, and as to its sanatory ar rangements, quite as much as the Effectual garrisoning of it. The news of this important capture was carried to Lisbon by the Madrid Peninsular packet, which reached this in the afternoon of the Ist inz , tant. It speedily be came disseminated through the metropolis, and pro duced a most extraordinary sensation, having taken every one by surprise, and filling the Queen's supporters with joy, and the adherents of the Junta with Elismay. The arrival of the vessels from Oporto followed shortly after the receipt of the intelligence, and it is impossible to conceive anything more brilliant than the appearance of the river, thus filled with ships of war and vessels of all descriptions. The question of the safe custody of the prisoners immediately gave rise to extensive negotia tions and ttansmission of instructions between Lisbon and the mouth of the Tagus, about five miles distant, where the ile( t of captured vessels and their convoy (nearly 20 sail in all) lay. The Spanish brig of war Soberano, 12, entered the river on the following day, bearing a portion of the crew of the captured corvette Eighth July ; and on the same day the Spanish cor vette Venus, 18, entered from Cadiz,:and the war steamer Isabel Segunda, from a cruise on the coast. On the previous day, in addition to the captured squa dron and its convoy, our ship of war the Superb, and our brig Recruit entered the river from a cruise on the coast, as did likewise our war-steamer the Geyser, from Portsmouth in four days. It is impossible to describe the splendour of the scene which this most beautiful of rivers thus presented, covered with beautiful moving ob jects that seemed imbued with life, yet showed in their armaments such powerful materials of destruction, ansl lit up by a sun of incomparable brilliancy. Amongst the ships of war in the river were four Spanish, one French, and English almost innumerable. The landing and securing of the prisoners within the precincts of St. Julian's was completed yesterday after noon; they are guarded by a strong body of our marines. On Wednesday some 50 cavalry and 16 artillerymen went down in a steamer to conduct the captured horses and mules to Lisbon, and arsenal boats to bring up the armament, &c. The greater number of the captured vessels arrived here in a miserable state, short both of provisions and water, which the leaders of the expedition, with the cus tomary negligence of the Peninsula, entirely forgot to put on board in sufficient quantity. Too many men were likewise crammed on board some of the vessels, and they arrived, like the human cattle of a slaver, ter ribly exhausted by the excessive heat and confined space. We have thus got a little army of prisoners on our hands, and will not perhaps find it so easy to get rid of them. Whenever set at liberty they may immediately proceed to make a fresh rebellion, of which their num bers would form a sufficient nucleus. The country must be in some degree re-organized before they are set free, and the Queen's army established on a footing of real efficiency. As the prisoners persevered in their con• tumaciousness to the last, and surrendered, not to the Queen, but to the allies, it is probable that they will not get the benefit of the amnesty originally proposed. On Wednesday morning, two aides-de-camp, com missioned by Sada Bandeira, presented themselves at Vinhac's head-quarters, outside Setubal, offering to accept an armistice. Dispatches were instantly for. warded by Vinhaes upon this subject to the capital. 1 I am informed to-day that a steamer is to go t o O porto immediately with the two aides-de-camp of Sa who came over on Wednesday evening with Lieutenant Van sittart and an aide-de-camp of Vinha es . It i s understood that Sa proposes an armistice until ho shall have received v instructions from the J unta. A Council of f w e as elithigeldgenoenratlhlye prevailsarrial of htehsee proposeddispatches, suspension and is t t h e , of hostilities has been accepted. Amongst the prisoners captured at the bar of Oporto were some who had fled very recently from Lisbon and • • joineci the Junta's forces. Two had done so only the other day. The Q .eptembrists are putting it about that Das Antes had been bought over, and, in short, sold them. Yesterday was Corpus Christi day, when the grandest annual procession of Portugal would, in ordinary cir cumstances have taken place, but the disturbed state of the country prevented it. The liberation of the Duke da Terceira by the Junta GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he aflirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but the inimitable In value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all I iventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET or GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for the last thirty years. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed.—Why do all the 111 , 4 cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saunters' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply because it is the only one that gives to .a razor a keen and Smooth edge. DEPOT, 278, STRAND. To wholesale purchasers a liberal discount will be made. ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL.
