The Express.
London, England, 1846-12-14 00:00:00

Yesterday the steam-ship, Tagua, arrived at South-
ampton, bringing us an additional letter from our
Lisbon correspondent, containing the news of one day

later :

Dzc, 5, 7 P.Y.
The Tagus (Oriental steamer) leaves Belem this
evening, and enables me to send a few lines, merely
for the purpose of stating. that nothing has transpired
from Cartes° or Oporto since my last of the 4th inst.

per Madrid.
The Miguelite insurrection in the north, though
calculated to excite uneasiness in the minds of the
Queen's Government, is not connected with the popu-
lar movement directed by Des Antes and his col-
leagues. The forces under Macdonald were extremely
well received at Braga and Guimaraens, and it is
universally admitted that they are extremely
well conducted, paying for all they require,
in the way of provisions, 8..-c.; they are well supplied
with funds. The principal part of them are armed
with fusils, of which 8,000 stand' were issued at
Oporto during the first ebullition, and a great num-
ber of which fell into the hands of the peasants, who
are now using them in favour of the third competitor
lin the field, if the name of Miguel can be cited in this
manner, which I doubt. It is General Gomez (the
I former Carlist officer, who distinguished himself in
1836.8) who commands one of these bodies, and not
Garter, as I recently stated.
Nothing further has been heard in Lisbon respecting
the threatened movement of Baron Cazal upon Oporto.
It is surmised that he still hovers about Chaves and
the frontier of Spain ; and if the guerillas commanded
by the Miguelite officers already named are between
him and the Douro (which is probable), it is not to
be expected that the baron will face the difficulties of
a forced march through a hostile country. The intel-
iligence which you will have received from Oporto by
the Cyclops may, however, have thrown some light
upon these matters.
A letter was received from Des Antas this morn-
ing, dated the 2nd December, in which the count,
referring to the presence of Colonel Leila and his
ftlytng column at Leiria, observes that it entirely
I accords with his views to separate the division
of Saldanha's army as widely as possible, for during
the recent (and expectant)heavy rams, it is impossible
for them to undertake any serious operations, and their
absence from Cortex° weakens the main force there.
I understand that Count Tojal repaired to Lisbon
with the express intention of taking office under the
actual government, and that he did so at the united
instigation of Saldanha and Sousa; on his arrival,
homer, he found affairs in so desperate a condition,
Naar as public confidence and ministerial activity
were concerned, that he declined accepting the respon-
sibilities which would devolve upon the successor of
the Finance Minister who invented and promulgated
the two recent decrees respecting the Bank of Lisbon
notes and the Bank of Portugal. The account I sent
you of the interview with the Queen was strictly and
literally true.
The Diario of this day contains a general order
Revoking all military leaves of absence, and com-
manding officers absent from their corps to rejoin
them without delay,—those actually in the capital
within twenty-four hours, those in the province of
Estramadura within three days, and those in the
more distant provinces within twelve days, on pain of
" being deemed deserters in time of war."

ITALY.—A letter, of Dec. 4, from the Italian
frontier, ear:—" Since the incorporation of Cracow the
