to exact that all the inhabitants of this kingdom

their arms and to submit to the constituted authorities of her

" Portuguese', do not fail to comply with these most moderate
demands. Those who obey them shall receive my protection

ish forces operating from that province in Portugal.
"D. SLNTIAOO MINIM Vioo."

"The publication of such a manifesto as this in the
Minho province, which is at once the mere populous and
the moat devoted te the junta of any in Portugal,
has produced the moat inflammatory results. Feeling
themselves unable to copo for the moment with the
well-disciplined and armed forces of Spain, the popu-
lace there have withdrawn for tho present from
all collision with General Mended Vigo's force, but
it is only to abide the proper opportunity for
manifesting their sentiments, an opportunity the deve-
lopment of which, it is to be feared, will be reserved for
Donna Maria herself. The junta, on receiving the des.
patch of Colonel Demerits, immediately resolved upon
sending the Marquis of Louis (who is married
to the Queen's aunt) to Lisbon, charged with
a mission the object of which, it is to be presumed, is final,
and pro ta%to decisive of the present struggle. The marquis
left Oporto on the 9th of June, in the British war-steamer
Terrible, which must have crossed, on its passage, the Jackal
steamer, despatched by Admiral Parker, from Lisbon, on
the evening of the same day (June 9). The Jackal, after
leaving despatches at Oporto, for Sir T. Maitland (who is
blockading that port in the American frigate ailed by
French, Spanish; and Portuguese armed ships), proceeded
to Vigo, with, as is surmised, a communication for the
Spanish general, the purport of which did not transpire.
She was lying at Vigo when the homeward-bound packet
Madrid touched there.
The junta of Oporto hes, as might be expected, issued a
protest against the conduct of Great Britain, and in this
proceeding the supreme governing body has been imitated
by all the minor juntas in the north.
In the Oporto paper of the litho( June there is contained an
address from the British inhabitants of that city, addressed
individually and collectively to the members of the
junta, praising in the most profuse manner the conduct
of the troops and of the Portuguese population, and express-
ing the conviction of the subscribers that nothing could ex-
ceed the kindness or generosity with which they and
their families had been treated by the whole of
the people of Oporto under circumstances most try-
ing and irrlating to them. It is a most remszh-
able fact, and I state it of my own knowledge end
on my personal experience, that this address, abounding
in terms of adulation to the junta, is • ed b many who

With respect to the military movements to the south of
the Douro, it appears that Marshal Saldanha had advanced
his pickets nearer to Oporto, without, however, moving his
main body.
' The Duke of Cornwall steamer, commanded by Captain
Robert linapton, after landing at Vigo the commisgsries
sent from Lisbon to provide for the rations of the Spanish
troops in Portugal, returned to the capital on the 9tb
late in the day. Ho

Belize (Honduras) papers of the 10th of April com-
municate the fact that the state of Guatemala had
formally seceded from the federation constituting the
republic of Central America, and declared her own
separate rand independent existence as • nation.
On the 21st of March the government published a
formal decree to the effect, accompanied with a mani-
festo of reasons and justification by the president, which,
says the Revisits de Guatemala, "the people have re-
ceived and celebrated with enthusiasm." The
intelligence, and documents in conformity, were for-
warded to Colonel Fancourt, her Majesty's superin-
tendent in British Honduras, by Mr. F. Chatfield,
British consul•general at Guatemala.
It remains-to be eeen whether San Salvador, Hon-
duras, Nicaragua, and the other states comprising the
Central American confederacy, will be disposed to
view or to admit of this secession of Guatemala, the
most powerful state of all, except San Salvador. The
opinion in Belize was that they would not, and that
other civil wan would be the consequence.

Papers from South Australia to the 24th of January
have come to hand. The intelligence of most interest
which they communicate is the discovery of a new
mine on the banks of the Torreon, belonging to
Messrs. Smith and Levi, which promised to be a new
source of great wealth. The facts are thus stated
in brief: The miners engaged in exploring a vein
of copper accidentally struck upon a lode of
galena, constituting probably a spur from the
main lode of that material. The ore has been found,
by Dr. Davy's assay (the results of which are given by
him), to contain the enormous proportion of over 600 ox.
to the ton. The galena is accompanied with other
varieties of lead and silver ore," &c. This is stamd
to be the " richest argentiferous lead ore in the known
world." It is 344 per cent. richer than the yield of
the famous Beeralstone mine, in Devonshire.
