LATEST INTELLIGENCE

THIS DAY. Four o 'Cock.
An arrival from Portugal, announced this morn-
ing, brings accounts from Lisbon to the II th instant.
A telegraphic despatch had reached.the capital,
stating that General Schwalbech had commenced the
bombardment of Elvora. Bomfim, however, was
determined to hold out, and there was every prospect
that his resistance would be protracted, and that the
insurgents would make vigorous efforts to relieve the
place. Saldanha, with the Queen's army, was still
within three days march of Lisbon, where it was his
policy to bring Ns Antas to an engagement, and the
sooner the better for the royal cause. But the insur-
gent leader was not likely to throw away his advan-
tages by precipitating a battle against such fearful
odds. He would, doubtless, hesitate to attack
a well-equipped army in a formidable posi-
tion, and having the advantage, too, of a fine
artiller y brigade. His conrse would be to retire
rather than risk a conflict, and then he would be
enabled to watch his opportunity, when Saldanha
might find it requisite either to withdraw to Lisbon,
or to make a movement in advance of the heights of
Torres Vedraa. If Des Antas withdrew Saldanha
would then endeavour to effect a juncture with the
divisions of Schwalloack and Cassal, and with their
united forces march upon Coimbra. But in this he
might fail, for Bomfim would find employment for the
former at Evom,while the latter was closely watched by
the revolution forces,which had marched Loom Oporto
under So. da Bandeira. In fact, however we view
the position of the rival parties, there seems but slight
prospect of a speedy cessation of hostilities, unless,
indeed, something fortuitous should occur, or Colonel
Wilde should be enabled to effect a peace. When
the last accounts left, the British Commissioner had
taken his departure from Lisbon for the hend-quarters
of Saldanha, from whence he would proceed to the
camp of Das Antas, and thence on to Oporto. What-
ever the result of his mission may be, it was con-
sidered certain that England would not resort to an
armed intervention unless a Spanish army should
cross the frontier, a most improbable event. The
success attained by the Queen's forces over the
insurgents at antra, proves after all to have been but
of trifling importance.though purchased with a some-
what heavy loss. The only advantage gained was
the temporary dispersion of the armed peasants, who
returned as soon as ever the troops were withdrawn.
The rebels fought with bravery, disputing inch by
inch, and retired only when their ammunition
was expended. They ultimately retreated across the
