CAPTAIN CEIAMIER'S NEW NAVAL NOVEL.
We are requested testate that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlbo-
rough•street, has this day published the new naval novel, en-
titled, " Jack Adams, the Mutineer," by Captain Frederick
Chamier, R.N., author of " The Life of a Sailor," &c., in
3 vols., which can now be procured at all the libraries. Mr.
Colburn has also just published Mr. Theodore Hook's " Gur-
ney Married," a sequel to " Gilbert Gurney"—Mrs. Gore's
" Heir of Selwood ; or, Three Epochs of a Life"—the Hon.
Mrs. Lambert's " Ella ; or, The Emperor's Son"—and
" Duty and Inclination," the new novel edited by Miss
Landon.
MISS ANGELA COUTTS BURDETT AND THE
IRISH BARRISTER.—A few weeks have only elapsed since Mr.
Dunn, the Irish barrister, rendered himself the ridicule of
Harrogate by his indiscreet annoyance to Miss Coutts Burdett
at that fashionable watering place, and which ultimately led to
his being taken into custody and bound over to keep the
peace. Miss Coutts Burdett returned to town immediately
after the above proceedings, but had not long enjoyed the
quiet of the metropolis before her persecutor arrived at the
Gloucester Hotel, Piccadilly, the windows of the apartments
occupied by Mr. Dunn commanding those of Miss Coutts
Burdett. During the past week Mr. Dunn was repeatedly
observed walking past the residence of Miss Coutts Burdett,
who, we understand, is necessitated to keep two constables
constantly within the ball of her mansion in Stratton-street to
protect her from a repetition of his annoyances.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1838.

The prosecution grew out of the publication of a police report
or the appearance of which Mr. Barrett apologised, but the,
parties notwithstanding thought proper to prosecute.

TELEGRAPHIQ DESPATCHES.

" CONSTANTINE, OCT. 23.—The army took possession of
Milah on the 21st instant, without firing a shot. The most
perfect calm reigns in the province. Neither on the road, nor
in establishing ourselves, have we been disquieted for a moment.
" I am causing the road between Constantine and Milah to
be made by the army. At the same time will be opened,
that which leads from Milah to Algiers. in passing by Setif
and the Iron Gates. A camp will be established between
Milah and Setif for the execution of this important work."
" CONSTANTINE, OCT. 24.

" MARSHAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.

" I have appointed Kalifa of La Mejana, Sidi- Ahmet- Ben-
Mohamed- Ben- El- Hadji- Bouzio- El- Migrani, the grandson of
Sultan Boasis, who was celebrated in Africa during the last
century. On being! informed of the occupation of Milah, that
chief immediately repaired to my head-quarters. He has re-
ceived to-day in Constantine the investiture of his new dig.
nity, after taking the oath of allegiance on the Koran, and in
the presence of the Cadis and Muftis.
" The authority of the King is now acknowledge through_
out the province of Constantine from the frontiers of Tunis
to the Iron Gates."

It will appear, from the telegraphic despatch published in
our number of the 9tb, that our conquests in Africa
are receiving daily a more important development. The
occupation of Milah completes in a becoming man-
ner the occupation of Stora, which we announced not more
than a month ago. It may be said, that since 1830 we had
not derived such marked advantages from our establishment
in the former regency. The Government thus justifies the
confidence which the Chambers had evinced towards it during
the last session in granting the supplies demanded for the
work which is at present proceeding so happily to its accom-
plishment.

- The most remarkable feature of our new conquests is that
they have been pacifically achieved. The ascendancy of our
name is now so well established, that the natives regarded as
the most hostile, who at first appeared inclined to resist our
domination with an implacable energy, accept it now with a
sympathetic submission. —A/Oa/tear.
The favourable results of the trials of percussion muskets
made in Vincennes, by the Foot Chasseurs, has induced the
Government to arm with them an entire battalion, several
companies of which will be immediately afterwards detached
to the army of Algiers. Previous, however, to the application
on a large seal? of the new armament, additional trials are to
be made, during which the company of chasseurs will have to
fire 140,000 carabine shots.

It is full time to think seriously of improving the armament
of our infantry, when all the powers of Europe are occupied
in ameliorating theirs. Austria, amongst others, may, when-
ever she pleases, transform 80,000 muskets of her infantry
into as many percussion muskets, on the plan of those of Con-
sole. The men themselves can effect that change by substi-
tuting for the battery the pan, and the flint, three other pieces,
which have only to be taken out of the arsenals. The fulmi-
nating match is contained in a small metallic tube, which can
be easily introduced into the touch-bole. The latter method,
however, is merely transitory, but the new armament insures to
the Austrian troops a decided advantage over those of other
countries. - Courrier Francais.

SPAIN.
MADRID, Nov. 3. —The event anticipated here for some
days has just occurred. While engaged in writing a part of
this letter I heard the first shots of a movement similar to that
of Valencia and other places fired in the Puerta del Sol this
evening, about half-past seven o'clock. Since four indeed
crowds had been gradually assembling there, and it was obvi-
ous from their appearance and conduct that some disturbance
was to take place. Some of them at a later hour attempted
to enter the Post-office, a strong building in the Puerta del
Sal, but the picket guard of the National Militia on duty
there refused them admission, and ultimately closed the gates.
The crowds still increasing on the outside, the excitement
became very great amongst them, and some sixty or seventy
persons, dressed in the uniform of the National Guard, com-
menced crying Viva la libertiu Viva la Constitu-
cion .1 Viva Isabella Secunda Muerda los Ministras !
(death to the Ministers), and such like exclamations,
which were responded to by shouts from the crowd.
The alarm immediately spread through the town, and
persons were seen running in all directions to their houses,
which were immediately closed up throughout the city. As
soon as the tiring ceased the drums beat to arms, and the Na-
tional Guard began to assemble from all parts of the town in
the Place of the Constitution, where a considerable number
of them are now drawn up, infantry and cavalry. The garri-
son and artillery were ordered under arms, and a battalion of
the regiment of the Reina Gobernadora, and a squadron of
the Lancers of the Guard, occupy the entrances to the Palace.
From the lower part of the Calle Mayor, near the Palace,
where the latter are stationed, to the Puerta del Sol, is pa-
trolled by a company of the National Guard, the officer of
which was reading a proclamation as my informant passed
them, declaring Madrid in a state of siege, and stating that
all persons found in smaller or larger groups in the streets
would be arrested if they did not disperse immediately, on
being ordered to do so. Since the occupation of the streets
by the guards and military, the city wears the appearance of
perfect tranquillity. Not a soul is to be seen in the Puerta
del Sol, and the gates of the Post-office remained closed. No
accident or loss of life, that I could learn, has occurred on
the occasion.
The state of affairs here consequently assumes daily a more
complicated and threatening aspect. To the Carlist question
has been unfortunately superadded, by the blindness or
treachery of some of our late and present rulers, another of
importance and danger—the question at issue at
scat cely less
this moment between the two grand sections of the Liberal
party of Spain. This question has started up within the last
few days into such
gigantic proportions as almost to over.
shadow war and all in its dark and lowering interest. It ap-
pears,indeed,
scarcely possible any longer to stem, or even to
guide, its fury to other result than the natural resolution of
its own vehemence—a total change of men and measures in
the political system of Spain. Murcia, Alicante, and Car-
thagena
in part, have imitated the example of Valencia,
to
eiaio,de-
maiided Carlist reprisals, and hoisted the flag of opposition
the persons and system pursued by the present Government.
In Murcia some Carlist prisoners having been shot with the
consent of all authorities of the city. In Carthagena the
drama has not been acted, but strong symptoms of an out-
break had manifested themselves there. To these movements
is now added that of Madrid. In Saragossa similar occur-
rences are suspected here all day to have taken place in con-
sequence of the non-arrival of the mail this morning from
that place. In consequence of these strong manifestations of
popular dissatisfaction with the system of government which
has prevailed here for some time, it is expected that a new
Cabinet will be immediately formed.
The only military news of any interest received since I
wrote last has been that the rear-guard of Merino's column has
been overtaken by that of Brigadier Hoyos in the Pinares, and
beaten by him. The loss was reported on the part of the
Carlists as high as four or five hundred, but this is an exagge-
ration.
General Narvaez has left Madrid to-day for Loja, in Anda-
lusia, where he intends to stop for some time. The second
brigade of the army of reserve marched also to-day to Valde-
more, between Aranjuez and Madrid; but it is stated that
they refused to proceed on the road, and were again returning
to Madrid..—Morning Chronicle.

PORTUGAL

We have received the following letter from our Lisbon cor-
respondent, by the Iberia steamer, which arrived at Falmouth
on Friday last, with the Peninsula mails, having left Gibraltar
and Cadiz on the Ist, Lisbon the 4th, and Vigo the 6th inst.,
not calling at or off Oporto. The Seagull packet, Lieutenant
Parsons, sailed from Falmouth on the morning of the 9th
instant, for Madeira and the Brazils. Wind westerly and
more moderate
:
LISBON, Nov. 4.—The departure of the Iberia steamer
has been anticipated forty-eight hours because it appears that
she brings most part of the July, August, and September
letters from Bombay, containing very large India remittances
for the London houses.
Very shortly after twelve o'clock in the day on Wednes-
nesday, the 31st ultimo, the salutes from the forts and shipping
in the Tagus announced to the inhabitants of Lisbon the birth
of another Prince, and I am happy to say that both her
Majesty and the Royal infant are doing as well as could be
wished. Illuminations and salutes were the order of the day
during the next two days, with corresponding holidays at all
the public offices, &c., to the no small delight of the gentle-
men therewith connected. The christening is to take place
after the 12th instant. The King received the congratulations
of the nobility, corps diplomatique, and all public functiona-
ries, and the Te Deum cbaunted at the Palace Chapel on the
Ist instant, was attended by the Foreign Ministers, at least
such as arrived in good time for it, as well as by the Members
of the Cabinet and of the Royal Household.
Several of the Journals state that his Majesty has applied
to the Minister of Finance for the fulfilment of a secret
article of his marriage contract, which stipulates that so soon
as there shall be male issue his Majesty's annual allowance is
to be increased by 50 Contos, or near 11,5001. ; and they
further state that his Excellency replied that the Cortes had
not sanctioned the payment of such a sum, and that he con-
sequently cannot comply with the Royal request until after
the meeting of the Cortes.
The point at issue between the British, French, Spanish
Ministers, and this Government respecting the payment of
the " Maneio" tax by the subjects of those nations, who are
established in Lisbon, has been at length definitively disposed
of ; they are not to be subject to such a tax, with the excep
tion of such as are retail dealers. Tbis latter clause will cs.

sentially apply to the native 3 of Galicia in Spain, a good
many of whom keep retail shops and public-houses in this city.
The sum of 4081 contos, near one hundred thousand
pound 3, of certificates of various kinds of the public debt of
Portugal, were publicly burnt on the 31st ult., by order of
the Minister of Finance, because they had been redeemed by
the Treasury and taken out of circulation ; but only
19,689,000 reis, say four thousand six hundred pounds ster-
ling, can well be said to have been reduced from the former
public debt of Portugal, because the remaining sum arose from
sundry debts which were contracted since the September Re-
volution.

The Bragaeza elections have at length concluded, and Vis-
count de Ervedra, Baron Ribeira da Sabrosa, and Manoel
Castro Pereira are the Senators, having the Marquis Fron-
teira and Count das Antas for substitutes. The Deputies are
A. J. G. Ramos, J. A. Ferreira de Lima, G. T. de Soura
Guedes. J. Pinto Soares, Antonio Fernandez Coelbo, with L.
C. d'Oliveira Pimentel, and J. da Silva Passes as substitutes.
There is another substitute to be ballotted for yet, and several
of the above-mentioned gmtlemen have already been elected
by other districts.

Some of the Azores have already sent us the result of their
elections, viz., Punta Delg:lda :—Senator J. S. de Soura
Ferreira d'AlberrAyin, and A. Porte Quintal c Camara as
substitut:•. Deputies, Dr. Jacinto Luiz d'Amaral Frarao,
Manoel Antonio d Vasconcellos, and Luiz Ribeiro de Soura
Saraiva, with Messrs. Silvestre Pinheiro Ferreiro and Jose
Maria de Silveira Estrella as substitutes.

The majority of the Senators and Deputies contained in the
above list belong to the moderate party.
The Braganza arrived yesterday with the mails from Eng-
land and Vigo, having ninety-three passengers, and again
proceeded, early this morning, for Cadiz and Gibraltar. The
William Fawcett steamer, wkich was to have sailed for Ma-
deira on the 21st ult., proceeded thither two hours since, with
many passengers ; and the V esuvio steamer, with forty-three
passenge:s, for Porto, sailed at ten this morning.
An Austrian ship, suspected to be loaded with arms and
ammunition for the Miguelitee, although ostensibly bound from
Constantinople to Amsterdam, has been off the coast between
l'eniche and Aveira for four or five days; but although she
has made various signals, and fired guns, &c., no one wont
from the shore to fetch any portion oi:T.the cargo, probably be-
canoe they were well watched.

Busine;s may be. said to be at a perfect stand. —Morn. Post.
