PORTUGAL.

LISBON MONDAY, JULY 24, 2 o'CLocK, P.ll.
" The posts from the various parts of the kingdom
have regularly arrived this morning, and from all that I
have been able to collect, it appears that the partisans
of the charter of 1826 are losing ground, inasmuch as the
people have remained merely passive spectators of this
purely military insurrection.
" The Viscount de Sada Bandeira, with M. Joze da
Silva Passos, have arrived at Oporto (by land), as also the
Teiceira war steamer, with the troops she conveyed from
hence, and were about to march against Valeura, where the
insurgents in that part of the country have concentrated
their forces.

By accounts from the South it would appear that the
nsurgents had equally concentrated their forces at Cas-
tello Branco.

" I have been favoured with a sight of a letter from a
person of rank and respectability at Oporto, dated the 21st
insr., to a gentleman holding a high situation in Lisbon, of
which the following is a translation
The rebels are at Valence, as your Excellency knows.
General Luiz de Rego ( Viscount de Geraz deo Lima), who
had approached Vienna in company with the Lieutenant-
Colonel of the 9th Infantry (Doze Luiz de Brito) and other
officers, as also some of the 4th regiment of Cacadores, with
the intention to aid the revolution, has thought it proper to
desist from the attempt, as Major Antonio Pimenta, who
went out to meet him persuaded hint not to be the
assassin of his country ; that every resistance would
be made at Vianna, and that his, Luiz de Rego's
house, would be the first that would be destroyed by the
fire from the Castle, he replied, that he would follow his
fate, and retire with his companions to his country seat of
Geraz de Linia, where he for the present remains laid up by
an attack of the gout. At Ponte de Lima, a certain F.
Thomas Malheiro was organizing a guerilla force in favour
of the rebels, but as the Viscount de Sada Baudeira, in
the march he purposes, will have to pass through Barcellos,
Ponte de Lima, and Coura, which is the most direct route,
there is little doubt of his being able to reduce to obedience
the inhabitants of those places. Major Frazao was enabled
to make his escape from the rebels and join the Baron de
Almargem. A certain Joao Feio, who commanded the vo-
lunteers at Barcellos, and who, with part of his battalion,
had joined the rebels at Villa Nova de Familicao, is a
prisoner at Braga. here everything is quiet ; and the
revolutionary tittle tattle has in a great measure ceased.
The Terceira steamer arrived this morning, and the troops
that came in her have been quartered at the barracks of
Santo Ovidio."

" The latest telegraphic dispatch from Santarem of last
evening- states that that district was in perfect tranquillity,
Abrantes included.'
" I am credibly informed that the Government have it in
contemplation to call in all the fitulas admissible in the pay-
ment of duties in the Custom-house, and to issue in ex-
change Treasury notes of the value of 10,000 reis, 20,000
reis, and 60,000 reis, accepted by the tobacco contractors,
payable in two years, and bearing an interest of .5 per cent.
per annum.

" This day being the fourth anniversary of the Portu-
guese restoration, gained by the triumphant entry of the gal-
taut Duke of Tereiera into Lisbon, the same has been cele-
brated by the forts and the Portuguese ships of war dis-
playing their flags, and firing a Royal salute, and her Ma-
jesty the Queen holding a Levee at the Palacs of the Ne•
cessid:zdes in honour of the occasion.

" The Portuguese vessels of war, Audorinha, cutter, and
Esperance, a schooner, sailed yesterday to cruise off tho
coast of Algarve.
" Arrived on the 23d instant the French brig of war
Alcibiade from Gibraltar and Cadiz, and the Euret cutter
from Oporto. Sailed—The Transit and Braganza,
steamers, for Falmouth and London, the latter calling off
the bar of Oporto to receive letters.
