Carlists had retired in great disorder u di( 'XI d 1
town near the of the Asturias, having ehandoned ,
in their hasty retreat, their baggage, together w'th num-
bers of their body, who were unable from fatigue :alo keep
up with the rest in their continued forced marches. tylie-
ther this Carlist force was the one which was at Santiago,
does not appear.
The Government papers affirm that the Carlists hara
been totally unsuccessful in their attempts to raise the pro-
vince against the Queen. It appears that some Portuguese
Miguelite officers have joined them, among others the cele-
brated Raimundo Jose Penheiro.
A battalion of the 2d Portuguese Regiment of InfameT„
about 300 strong, left this place in the Pcninsula steamer-
and Government Ivor-brig for Oporto, on Thursday last-
" The prince rode at their head to the Arsenal, where they
embarked. The embarkation of these troops, together
with the rumours spread abroad upon the subject, fill
people's minds with alarm, which is greatly increased by
the negligence of the Government papers in supplying tiae
public with the intelligence which they must daily receive..
Not one of these journals has yet alluded to the sailing of
these troops to Oporto.
There is a subject to which 1 shall now allude, which it
is much to the credit of the new Lisbon English Journal to
have boldly and strongly exposed, and which I doubt not:
will meet with the ready attention of your readers.. I
allude to the slave trade, now so openly carried on here, in
spite of the solemn assurances so often received that it was
to be suppressed, the Portuguese Government professing to,
be only desirous to save their dignity, and give their Sove-
reign the merit of taking the initiative in suppressing this
traffic by legal enactments which ought to have become law
two years ago. Will ;t be believed that at this moment,
after the hundreds of thousands of pounds paid by Great
Britain, on the understanding that this trade should bit
eventually relinquished—at this moment, when the entire
separation of Brazil has long done away with the only pre-
text which furnishes a ground for postponing the entire sao-
pression of this revolting traffic—all the exceptions in our
numerous treaties with Portugal turning upon the inter-
course between the Portuguese settlements in Africa and'.
the Brazils—will it be believed, I say, that at this moment
there is in this river Tagus a vessel well known, and tho-
roughly so to the Government, to be preparing for one of
these disgraceful adventures ? This vessel is a brig carrv-
ing guns, formerly a Havre packet, the Clementine'. Its
name is now the very appropriate one of the " Raping ;"
by way of evincing the shamelessness and consummate im-
pudence of its owners, it carries the effigy of an African
negro at its bow. It is expected to sail in a few days for
the coast of Africa.
It is painful to have to allude to another subject, whielt
is dwelt upon with much force in the Li:Am English Jowl,-
nal—l mean the large amount of bills drawn by this Go-
vernment in behalf of our countrymen who served under
-Don Pedro, and which remain unpsid, and with no means
bat those of the most protractive and harassing descrip-
tion to bring the claims of their holders to any satisfactory
adjustment. The journal above mentioned estimates the
amount of these bills, which it states to have been chiefly
discounted by British merchants here, at 30,000/., and it is
justly observed that, considering the sums lately realized
by this Government, first, by the sale of the Lezirias, and',
second, by the loan contracted in London on the security
of the Brazilian Debt, it is really shameful that the well-
earned and legal claans of British subjects should be thus
vexatiously trifled with. It is, undoubtedly, creditable to
M. Carvalho to have becn able to procure the resources
he has, and to have employee; a portion of them in extin-
guishing parts of the home debt ; but, considering all the
circumstances, we must admit that .io claims ought to be
more promptly and anxiously settled than of those parties
whose exertions were so mainly instrumental in establish-
ing the Constitutional Government.
The Porluguez Constilucional of Thursday stated that
there was a general report of some change in the Ministry,
and that it was said the Duke of Terceira and M. liguiar,
the Minister of Justice, were about- to retire.
We have had some disturbances in the provinces lately
at Ourique, in the Alantejo. A band of Miguelites beoke
open the public gaol in the night of the 18th, having first
secured the guard. The gaoler having refused to give up
his keys, they immediately dispatched him. They then re-
leased the prisoners, eleven in number, eight of whom had
been lately sent there from Lisbon. There were a few sol-
diers (lancers) present, but they were too weak to interfere,
as, besides those employed in breaking open the prisons,
there was a body of SO or 40 men, armed with muskets
and bayonets, who, in order to intimidate the townspeople,
kept firing down the streets all the time. It is stated that
the rioters departed after uttering vices for Don Miguel.
At Valverde, in Beira, there was also some disturbance on the
night of the 17th, which, however, was not productive of
any serious consequences.
The elections, as far as they are known hitherto, have
proceeded very favourably to the Government. In Lisboa
its triumph is complete. The Nacional of this morning
confesses, and laments over the fact, that the whole twenty
deputies elected for Estramadura are staunch Ministerialists.
Among the members now elected for this province are.
M. Carvalho and his colleague M. Aguiar.
Ah amusing controversy has sprung up lately among our
journalists, as to whether Portugal is really indebted to
England for her assistance at the time of the French inva-
sion. It appears to be excessively galling to our periodical
writers to acknowledge themselves under any kind of obli-
gation to Eugland.—Morning Contemporary.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, AUG. 9.—The National Association met this
day. It is now manifest that the agitation caused by the
House of Lords will be even more. vigorous than that pro-
duced by the glorious struggle for Catholic Emancipation.
Mr. Galloway, of London, was called to the Chair. After
some proceedings connected with the receipt of the Justice
Rent, and an address from Mr. Lawless, Mr. O'Connell
brought forward his_ promised motion, and was left speak-
ing when the Dublin Evening Post, from which Journal our
notice is taken, went to press.
COUNTY KILO; RE MEETING.—A requisition, headed
by the -honoured ;Jame of Lord Cloncurry, has been ad-
dressed to the 11;jh Sheriff. • This is regarded as one of
the most important movements that has yet been made in
Ireland.

COUNTY WATERFORD.--This day week a meeting was
held at Dungarvan, to prepare an address to his Excellency
on his arrival in this count►.
ORANGE AssocrATioN.—A new confederacy of this fac-

tion is announced for the Queen's County. Most of the
Gentlemen named on the Committee appear by the Report
of the Orange inquiry to have been officers of that institution.
TITHE SALE.---Mr. Brown, a highly respectable Pro-
testant, was made a victim to this system last Friday at
Carlow.—The sum claimed was 70/.—the claimant, the

to the Liberal cause.

T. A. LYONS.--This gentleman who has been re-
c3ntly appointed to the Rectory of Ballysax in the diocese
of Kildare, was the curate of Drung, whom Marcus Beres-
ford treated with so much harshness. The present ap-
pointment will give satis!action to the public.
The Hells in Dublin appear to be as great nuisances as
they are found to be in London, and there seam also the
same obstacles in the way of their suppression. In both
capitals they arc practically beyond the reach of the law.
Last Saturday a complaint was lodged at the head office
against the propriet;rs of a notorious gambling house. The
magistrates professed their willingness to afford the parties
every assistance in their power towards rendering the de-
linquents amenable. to justice, and said that many com-
plaints of a similar serious nature had been already made
to them cf the same establishment by parents, and guar-
dians in this ,metropolis, but in the absence of direct sworn
proof against ti.z individuals principally concerned, they
could not interfere. The complainants were then referred
elsewhere for summonses, wLieh, when taken out, will of
course be ettended with no resu!ts, or none of a severity
equal to the deserts of the harpies.
An Israelite named Samuel Levi was brought up in cus-
tody on the extraordinary charge of having a propensity not
only to eat, but also to steal that meat so abhorred by
every true descendant of the tribes—namely, bacon.

the road has been for some time under repair, and in conse-

Castle gate was so extremely bad that it required a guide to
conduct the mail coach horses across it. Kearny had been
employed by the contractor of the road for this purpose ;
and, on the night in question, was in the act of leading the
horses through at a quick pace, when he slipped and fell
over a heap of stones, and his eloti.” having been caught

SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.-Yesterday
noon considerable amusement was excited n the 'slew-read.
St. Marylebone, by a couple of young gentlemen perseveringly
snapping pistols at every unmuzzled dog that made his appeaN
ante. Two dogs, of a rather valuable breed, were very sc.
verely wounded. The young, sportsmen were not intvrrupts4
by the police;
