to be marching upon Oporto, and it was very
ful whether the citizens would defend the town. Thum
were no regular troops in garrison, and the hurts
would find it difficult to maintain its authority.
The Diario, of the 20th inst., contains the following :
.We have seen several letters from different points of tho
kingdom, written by persons of entire probity. All concur is
assuring us that the spirit of the people manifests itself in
the most us uivocal manner in favour of the cause of order.
scarcely theceiround they tread on, and**
su4 ve a place coy lose all su rt. Their
sgaduct has n so ex e as to this quite
natural. The public money is not now tams;
they do not respect that of individuals, they
violently deprive them by means of forced . And
now they do not even spare the limited funds of the reli-
gious brotherhoods ! They thus cannot fail to become de-
tested, and to be repelled in every direction. The spirit of
the great majority of the inhabitants of Oporto is true to
their Sovenigu, in proportion to the ferocity and tyranny
which the rebels there have employed. The property, the
security, and the honour of the citizens of that town are
entirely at the mercy of about 600 sons cullottes. The few
soldiers who remain there under the command of ex-Vis-
count Si follow him through his celebrated expeditions,
which keep at a cautious thatanni„from the loyal column
under the command of Generals Baron do Casal and
Viscount Vinhaes. The battalions of guerrillas about
which so much noise was made have almost entirely aban-
doned them, cursing the trick which filled them with the
hope of realising great fortunes, which ended merely in
smoke, without ever receiving the pay that was promised
them. From Santarem we learn that, notwithstanding the
robberies and extortions practised, privations are already
beginning to be felt since the rebels shut themselves up
there, and the consternation increases daily. In Coimbra
the greatest despondency exists amongst the insurgents
since the flight of the ex Conde du Antas before the
Duke de Saldanha's troops. Every moment they wee.
afraid of the entrance of a strong popular body into the city,
organised spontaneously at Midoens, under the banner of
" Queen and Charter."
"The loyal division of the north is reinforced every dayl
with various detachments, which join it according as it
approaches tho points where they were stationed. The sol-
diers are animated with the best spirit and the livliest en-
thusiasm, in which they rival the southern division. The
renowned body of guerillas, at whose head the ex-Conde da
Taipa and Jose Estevao have placed themselves, have rev°.
lutionised themselves, as was their right, according to the
doctrine of these republican publicists, for want of pay ; the
penitents remaining being reduced to some 240 men. Such
18 the end of Das Antas's renowned ' vanguard of the Por-
tuguese people.'
" To the north and south of the Tagus tranquillity has
been re-established, the columns which traversed those dis-
tricts having put all the guerillas to flight. The capital
offers an admirable spectacle of order, tranquillity, and
security. The department of the volunteer battalions
deserves the highest praise. The military operations con-
tinue under the Duke de Saldanha's orders, the troops
showing the utmost impatience to come to blows with
the rebels. The efforts of disturbers in Algrave have
bceu entirely unavailing. Such is the sympathy which
the rebellion meets in every quarter. It will be soon re-
duced to its heroic champions, on whom the sword of the law
will fall."

THE PROPOSED EXPEDITION OF GENERAL FLORF.S
TO THE EQUADOLL—The Lords of the Treasury having
directed the legal process to be proceeded with against the
Glenelg Indianian, and the Monarch and Neptune steam-
ships, which were intended to take part in the proposed
expedition of General Flores to the Equador, the following
particulars relating to the contemplated invasion may be read
with interest:—ln the early part of June the directors of
the General Steam Navigation Company were applied to for
the sale of two of their powerful steamers, and eventually two
were disposed of, viz., the Monarch and the Neptune.
About the same time application was made from the mime
quarter to Mr. Green, the owner of the Gleneig, and
which was then lying in the East India Docks, for its pur-
chase, which was also effected. The purchase money was
paid, and they were consigned to a Captain Chararete, who
formerly was a marine captain in the East India Company's
lei vice Their complete repair was immediately proceeded
with, the utmost expedition being used in getting them
ready for sea. They were represented to be for foreign ser-
vice, and that the Glenelg would be employed as an emigrant
ship. The unusual description of work for the merchant's
service mentioned in the shipwright's contracts excited at
the time much attention, but similar work having been
done to other vessels in the dock, and sanctioned by the
English Goa.ernmeut, the ...vicious created by the nttiug
of the Glenelg and the steamers passed away. About the
beginning of September, however, the fact of a colonel,
who had served under General Flores in Columbia, being in
London, authorised, as it was said, to engage men to aid
the Spaniards in a certain expedition, and also to grant
commissions to officers with the same view, created more
specific suspicions as to the purposes for which the vessels
were intended. By the following month facts had transpired
which tended to confirm previous suppositions • and on the
111th of that month, Lord Palmerston received a protest in
respect to them, signed by Baring Brothers and Co., and
the principal firms in the city. And subsequently a
second protest was forwarded from the president of the
Manchester Commercial Association, embodying the same
facts. To this protest a reply was received. which has been
already published, announcing that the intention of the
government was directed to the subject; and in fact mea-
sures were immediately taken to ascertain the truth of the
alleged suspicions. The Customs were directed to institute
inquiries, and several of the most active officers connected
with the detective police force were employed in the pro-
ceeding. A few day's exertion sufficed to warrant the in-
ference of the government. The principals were watched
from place to place, and equipments of a most warlike
character were proved to be among their preparations.
The fitting out of the vessels proceeded with much cele-
rity, and they were appointed to leave on last Thursday.
From some unexplained circumstance the steamers did not
leave on that day. The Glenelg, however, sailed down the
river, and took up the usual moorings off Gravesend. At
this juncture, it appears, the government had directed the
detention of the vessel, and in the course of the evening
Mr. Forsayth, the principal jcrquer of the Customs, accom-
panied by a staff of officers, boarded her, and seized her
under the Equipment end Enlistment Act, the 59th of
Geo. 111. cap. 69, for being unlawfully equipped, without
the sanction of her Majesty, for the purpose of commencing
hostilities against a foreign power. There were on board,
besides the ship's company (which appeared only to be
half-manned), 240 young men, who seemed to have been
recently in the most destitute condition. The officers
who had charge of the vessel frankly admitted that
the men had enlisted to become either soldiers or
marines, and that she was to touch at Corunna.
To a casual observer the vessel appeared to have
been fitted out as an ordinary emigrant ship, but
eloeer inspection showed that the arrangements were very
rudely put together. She is a very large vessel, being
1,290 tons burden. She has three decks, and certainly in
the present state may be more properly termed a transport
ship than one in the emigrant trade. No ammunition was
found by the government officers, but of course it is difficult
to state what she may really hold while her cargo is
cleared out. Since her seizure the Lords of the Treasury
have ordered her return to Blackwell for that purpose. The
steamers were seized on Friday on behalf of the Crown, by
Mr. Forsayth, and on inspecting them there can be no
doubt of the purposes for which they were intended ;
they have been entirely new rigged and altered to carry
guns of large calibre.
Since the detention of the three ships the Lords of the
Treasury have received a petition from Captain Chararete
(who was eventually to be appointed as the admiral of the
fleet), soliciting their restitution, asserting that they were
his own property, that he had fitted them out as a matter
of speculation, that he intended to take them to the coast
of Spain, and there to dispose of them at the best advantage
to himself. The result of the application has not transpired.
There is every reason to believe that a large amount of
ammunition and guns have already b-en shipped, not only
in the Thames, but at Liverpool and Southampton. for the
coast of Spain. Even as late as Saturday week a vessel,
assuming French colours, left the river from Eritb, with
3,000 lb. of gunpowder, her papers stating her to be for
Cuba. Should the vessels be proved to be of the description
suspected, they will not one confiscated to the Crown, but
the owners are liable to imprisonment and fine.—Morning
Paper.
