TuY, JUKE 30.—Theiptelligence from our neigh-
bours, the. Pottuouezie, comes upon us by surprise,
:Ind in a sort of disorderly way, so that we cannot
give a methodia narrative. of the ninny important
erzonS which have occurred within the last few days,
hot vity in Oporto, but also in the vicinity of
Chaves, Bragonia, and Villareal. We do not allude
to the rnithusiasin which is every whereod.tsplayed
against NAvootooN, JosEen, and JuNnTibio pelting
and banning the effigies of all three gt-Itient, nor to
the energy .tnd aoth.ity which has io. displayed in
the general armament 01 ttic Cotintr);,.lthough the
ponnptitade with which Portugal ha's converted it-
into .an armed .nation appears incrfe,.dible ; the
country, excepting Almeyda avid") Lisbon, is
converted into a general encampment, and Without,
the least confusion'. Portugal has` enjoyed advan-
tages and means of security, of which we have been
itoprivcd; especially -in the Castiles. The tyrant..
cool-) has been emitted up in Lisbrin, with the
lOnolish Squad;on lO.fore him, and all Spain in a
t:cie of insurrection behind him:: in addition' to
this, Ire hag been injured by his own blindness and
:;topidity,- in supposing that his acts of cruelty, his
I,:onder of.the churches, his enormous contributions,
ut which, contrary tb the statements in NAPOLEON'S
GozAte3, not a,rnahvedi was remitted—l say by
insanity, in supiv,lng that all this violence and
extortion were so many acts of gentleness and affec-'
tic n, to gain over the hearts of tile Portuguese.
MAnttrn, the week of the cele-
tr,oion of the Feast of Corpus Christi has been pass-
ed, ill mourning and retirement. -The usual hours
o eolle4ng for this duty were disregarded. Mass
was performed at seven in the,Thorning, which was
at tended by very few, and those few endeavoured to
conceal theinsclves ; for if a numb::: of people were
soon,' in any Church, a detachment ofFrench
modiately appeared before it, and the mostfavour-
r.be termination was, that they were all sent hOme.
Since the 2d of May no situation has been more
dangercns than the. Temples of our Religion, where
the French station, guards and spies, to deprive us, if
it were orissible,ot attaining even the Divine protec-
tion. a melancholy day was Holy Thursday
in our Churches--it resembled the solemnity of the
Day of Judgment ! In the midst of the celebration
of Mass, the public dut;es were interrupted by the
intrusion of French patroles, who weoq,etilling out,
Disperse,•disperse, home, home," and threaten-
ing the religious persons collected v:tth filing upon
thew. These inetvees were interlarded with im-
pure and blasphemous expressions; the military
rushed into the midst of the .people; which occa-
sioned the most indecent 'and frightful disorders,
and excited cruel alarms. We demnot under-
stand that any lost their lives, E..,ut death- seemed pre-
ferable to snob i scene of horror, confusion, and

•
tittly.
After all this disquietude, we-have been relieved,
We see with►
,delight account of the.viaory of
khe Arrarneze, and we are confident that the Di-
ine Lady of Yilah has determined to take yen-
fo- the saerileffious contempt of her miracles
txprAs-ed by the French in the 'Madrid Journals.
