The Junta immediately accepted the proposed ar-
mistice, and maintained it, too, though Saldanhn bad
advanced his outposts to within one league of Oporto,
and a Spanish force, which crossed the frontier from
Galicia, had defeated their troops in the neighbour-
hood of Valence. The Polyphemus landed at Oporto
an aide-de-camp from Sada Bandeira, forwarded by
Sir W. Parker, who was to return to Setubal with
the orders of the Junta. When the steamer left
Oporto the Junta had agreed to accept the four
articles, and, therefore, '
we may hope the civil war
is at an end. Notwithstanding the irritation which
was naturally enough excited by the departure
of the captured flotilla to the south, no disturbances
had taken place. The English had received neither
insult nor injury ; and the conduct of the Junta to-
wards the few who remained during the dangerous
aria, bed been most praiseworthy. They had taken
army moms in their power to afford their protection
te U and property, and guards of soldiers had been
offered, if required, to be placed at the houses of any
„„.

For the events which have transpired at Lisbon
since the date of our previous minces, we refer to the
following from our usual correspondent:—
LISBON, JuNE 5.
At the date of the last despatches from Oporto,
30th Mq,jireparations were being made for the depar-
ture of an ex ition, under the command of the Count Dan
Antis. On e 31st of May, at midnight, these preparations
were completed, and early in the morning the squadron,
consisting of three steamers—viz., Mindello, Tar, arid
Porto, with the corvette Eighth of July, anti:air smaller
vessels, having on board about 2,500, sailed and parsed safely
over the bar of the river, when they were Immediately
surrounded by the British squadron, under the command
of Sir Thomas Maitland, and upon his summons they at
once surrendered. The Count dam Antes was in the Minden°,
which was commanded by Mr. Salter. The feat was accom-
plished without any difficulty, and save in one unfortunate
instance without any loss of life; but a small vessel not
having brought to, when hailed, two shots were fired from
the Gladiator, by one of which a soldier was killed.
When the capture was effected, the arms of the whole of
the soldiers were thrown overboard, and the ammunition
likewise. I have heard two explanations given of this most
unprecedented occurrence: one, that the men threw their
arms away, indignant at their treatment by those who were
their allies; the other, that the commodore, fearing
the result of leaving so many armed men in the
ships, ordered this proceeding.
Previous to the Gladiator leaving the river Douro, she
took on board upwards of 90 persons of both sexes and all
ages, who quitted Oporto in consequence of the state of
affairs. Every assurance was given by Jed Passes and
the Junta that personal safety should be ensured to
such English or foreigners as chose to remain, but these 90
persons and many others quitted the ci_ty, and either re-
paired to Lisbon or went overland to Vigo, to awr't the
packet.
The following is Count Da Autos' protest against our
interference, addressed to the admiral commanding the
British forces in the Tagus :
" On board the steamer Mindello,
"Off the Bar of Oporto, May 31 1847.
" The undersigned President of the Provisional Junta of
the Supreme Government of Portugal, during the coercion
of S.M.F. Majesty, general-iivehief of the national forces
under the orders of the Junta, solemnly protests, in the
presence of God, of every nation on earth, and in
the name of the Portuguese people, against the
unjust war, which, without any previous dekaratien and in
the absence of the slightest pretext, was commenced by the
naval forces of her Britannic Majesty, off the bar of
Oporto, attacking the forms of the provisional Junta of
government (which is recognized and obeyed throughout
all the provinces of the kingdom by the great majority of the
Portuguese), at tho moment when, by a last effort, they were
about to strike a mortal blow at the faction which oppresses
Portugal. On the 31st of May, 1847, at six o'clock in the
morning, it was that three steam-vessels corvette, and four
transports, were surrounded and captured by the British
squadron under the command of Sir P. Maitland, being sub-
sequently taken possession of by the British troops, the na-
tional flag pulled down, and the Portuguese being given to un-
derstand that they must consider themselves prisoners of war,
the English force taking possession of th. it arms and ammu-
nition. This flagrant attack on the rights of men and on the
independence of a people the most ancient ally of England,
cannot fail to draw down the indignation of all the civilised
nations of the world ; and England herself will be the fleet
to censure the unjust aggression and the revolting proceeding
of the British government, against which, and against all its
consequences, this present protest is made.

_ .

" Illustrative and Excellent Si,,—! have the honoiir to en-
close to your excellency the protest which I have made
against the unjust aggression committed upon me in front of
the bar of Oporto by the forces of her Britannic Majesty. I
do not know how far I am ix give credit to the word of
honour of the British commanding officer, who promised
us not to deliver us up to the faction which domi-
nates in Lisbon, when I find that the English nation has ,
' commenced hostilities against a friendly people, trampling
on all the rights of men and of war ; and, above all, on the
independence of Portugal. Know, excellent Sir, that the
delivery of me and of the force under my commend to the
enemy who has imposed a tyranny on the nation, and on
the Queen of the Portuguese, will be the climax of atrocity.
I am far from supposing any English officer, much lea
• British admiral, with the European reputation that dis-
tinguishes your excellency, capable of such an act.
but in C3BO your excellency should not consider us as was
stipulated by and promised to us, and under which stipula-
tion I and the forces under my command gave ourselves vp
as prisoners to the British forces, I beg your excellency to
deign to place us under the protection of the French flag, or
that of say other nation which may have a force in the
Tagus. God preserve your excellency.—Come DAS ANTAS."
Whether this protest reached Sir W. Parker before he
wrote the following letter to the Viscount de Sa I cannot
state. It is to be presumed that it did not, or the admiral
would not have couched his letter in terms so utterly at
variance with the facts :
" Her Majesty's ship Hibernia, at Lisbon, June 1, 1847.
" My dear Viscount —1 have this instant received by the
packet from Oporto • despatch from Capt. Sir Thos. Mait-
land, of the America frigate, who commands the British
squadron off the Douro, informing me that yes-
terday the whole of the insurgent naval force, consisting
of the losses enumerated in the margin, and having
on board the Count du Antes and four thousand
troops, surrendered themselves to the British squadron, and
are now on their way to the Tagus. They are in the
hands of the English, and I need not assure you that,
not only will their lives be safe, and that they will
not be delivered up to the Portuguese government,
nor obliged to land in Portugal against their will,
but I flatter myself they will find themselves kindly
treated. Need I entreat you, my dear Viscount, to cease
hostilities, end follow the example of your associates in arms.
On receiving intimation to this effect from you, I will send
our steam-vessels to receive yourself and comrades, and I
offer to you, as I shall do to Count des Antes, on his arrival,
an asylum in my cabin on board the Hibernia. I have
not time for more, but I hope that future pros-
perity will shine brighter in Portugal by means of
a general pacification. Lieut. Vansittart, who will deliver
this, has read the despatch addressed to me by Sir T. Mait-
land, but I flatter myself you need not this assurance to sa-
tisfy yourself that nothing could induce me to deceive you
or any man breathine, and I remain, as ever, persona'ly
your sincere friend, W. PARKER, Vice-Admiral."
" His t xcellanc7 the Viscount Se dos Bandeira."
Ships mentioned in the margin . 1 corvette, 20 guns ; 3
armed steamers, with about 3,000 troops onboard ; 1 barque ;
1 brig; 2 schooners: containing in ell, as I am told by some
of the troops on board, about 4,000 men—including crews
of vessels.
REPLY OT EIS EXCELLENCY VISCOVET DE SA.
" Setubal, June 2nd, 1847, 2 cm.
" Monsieur l'Amiral,—l have received your letter, dated
ay, wherein you inform me that the whole of the
rctetricgluese squadron engaged in the national cause, and
having or board 4,000 men, under the commend of the
Count Das Antes, had been captured the previous day, on
quitting the Douro, by the British squadron, and was about to
be conveyed into the Tagus. You request me to cease
hostilities, and to follow the example of my comrades ; in
reply, I have to inform you that I shill defend myself in
cage any one attacks me ; hut likewise, being now in the pre-
sence of a new and powerful enemy who has made a demon
stration against the cause of the Portuguese people, I shall
cease all hostilities until I receive instructions from the
supreme Junta of the government of the kingdom.
For this purpose I request you to send by one of your
steamers to Oporto an officer of my staff, who conveys
I despatches for the Junta.—(Signed)—VlSCOUNT Eta Da
BANDEIRA.”
IBy order of his Excellency the Viscount de 13a de Ban-

deirs, the blarquis of Mello, chief of the staff, wrote the
following:
" Head Quarters, Setubal, June 2, 1847.
" His Excellency the Viscount de Ss da Ban-
dein, commandrrm.chief of the forms to the south of
the Tagus, received this morning early a communi-
cation from Admiral Parker, commanding the British
forces in the Tagus, wherein he begs the viscount
to cease hostilities on account of recent occurrences.
To this communication the viscount replied, that he was
ready to accede to the request. In consequence, hie
excellency the commander-in-chief of the forces vamped

The question, thesehre, es to the Viscount de Sa's *spirals-
tion Ternalitt spa. In the meantime the flotilla hot been
brought into the Tares, end the troops are being disembarked
and placed'onder a Baud of British marines in Port St.
Julien. A strong sant was made to induce the British
admiral to let the hsas (96 in number) eapturedbe gives up
to the Queen's goveaunen_ t • but this ultimate set of friendship
to her Majesty wee abstained from for the moment by Beer
W. Parker.

The Lisbon g ,vernmsot glad* a very stump effort to ramie
the command of Fort St. Julien, wherein the British pri-
soners of the Portuguese flotilla are confined. After a
lengthened discussion, during which the admiral declared
that if the point was not conceded, he would send the whole
of the prisoners, steamers end all, beak to Oporto, the demand
made by him, of complete commend in the fort, was granted,
and a major's guard of 200 marines now occupies the place.
The Count Du Antes, who declined to accept of any
courtesy from Sir W. Parker, in point of personal accommo-
dation, remains on board the Minden°. Rations are mooned
to the prisoners by our agents. The Duke of Cornwall,
commanded by Capt. It. Kempston, left the Tagus, on
Thursday evening, for Figueria and Vigo, having
on board 200 men for the former place, and some
commissaries charged with the duty of providing
fer the subsistence of the Spanish troops, who are exp
to enter Portugal from Tuy, in ease the raistesses of
the Junta is prolonged. The aide-de-eansp of Ifisemsat de
Ss, who is mentioned in his letter to the admiral, went yes-
terdsy to Oporto, in order to receive orders, by which the
proceedings of his general will be guided. He is expected
back this evening, and, if I can learn the result of his
mis-
sion before the Polyphemus (which conveys this) sail, I will
state it in a postscript. The Amason frigate, Capt. Stop-
ford, has just been signalled outside, coming :rent Oibtidtar.

BELGIUM.—BRUSSELS, JUNE 9.—We announced
yesterday that the elections were going on favourably for
government ; the Brussels Herald says that up to seven I
o'clock on the Bth very favourable accounts for the ministers
reached this capital. But at a later period of the night and
this morning news of an opposite character arrived, and the I
general result is that ministers have experienced a severe
cheek in many important quarters, such as Ghent, where
seven opposition members (the entire number of candidates)
were returned after a desperate struggle, and at Tourney,
where M. Dumartier was defeated. The general result of
the elections is very unfavourable to government, and it need
not be a matter of surprise to learn that ministers have re-
signed. It is now quite certain that on the question of a vote
of confidence they would be left in a minority.
Lord Howard de Walden had the honour of being
presented yesterday to his Majesty, and of delivering his
credential* as minister plenipotentiary of ber Britannic
Majesty. His lordship wee conveyed from the hotel in which
he has taken up his temporary residenoe, to Luken, in one
of the royal carriages.
