PORTUGAL.

(From a Second Edition of the Morning Post.)
We have just received the accompanying communication
from our Lisbon correspondent, per mail of the Braganza
steamer, which arrived at Falmouth early on Sunday morn-
ing : her dates are from Gibraltar sth, Cadiz 7th, Lisbon 9th,
and Oporto and Vigo 10th instant :
OCT. 9.—The following are the returns of the six
Senators, six Substitutes, twelve Deputies, and twelve Sub-
stitutes for this city and province, viz. :
General Count des Antas, Count Fanoho, A. J. Brancamp,
Baron de Prime, Baron de Villa Nova de Foscoa, better
known as Fran. Ant. de Campos ; J. Maria Moreira de Bre-
gara, Antonio Manuel de Norrabe, an Admiral lately ap•
pointed Commander-in. Chief for Angola; Baron de Faro,
Baron de Sobral, A. Ozonio de Castro Cabral, Francisco
Soares Caldcira, and Clemente Jose Monteiro. For Deputies:
Messrs. Manuel Antonio de Carvalho, Minister of Finance ;
the Bishop cf Coimbra, L. de Oliveira Grijo, J. F. da Silva
Costa, J. V. Birreto Feio, A. C. Cerqueira Faira, J. P.
G.ilvao Palma, Paulo Midosi, Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs; M. A. de Vasconcellos, J. L. Freire de Carvalli-o,
Manoel dos Santos Ccur, Antonio Josa Silverio, Joao Pcdro

Soares Luna, J. P. Indrie Sancora, M. E. S. Mattos Car-
vent°, A. J. Pedroso de Almeida, J. 0. da C. Cabral e Al-.
berquesque, B. M. de Oliveira Borges, A. J. de L. Leitao,
R. J. Rodriquez Franca, the celebrated arsenal Chief, Leonel
Tavares Cabral, J. J. Falca°, Chief Accountant of the Navy
Office, R. F. Fustado de M, 110, and J. de Soura Pinto de
Mayalbaes, late Secretary of State. Considering that some
of the Senators and Deputies have been previously elected by
other places, for which they will sit, and that as many of the
Substitutes will then become effective, I am of opinion that
they will stand thus:-
2 Senators belonging to the Chartist party.
3 Ditto to the ultra-Liberal party.
1 Ditto to the Ordeiro or Doctrinaire party.
1 Deputy belonging to the Chartist party.
5 Ditto to the Ordeiro, Doctrinaire, or Government party.
6 Ditto ditto to the ultra-Liberal party.
Now, all the world knows that Lisbon ever was, and still is,
a commercial city, yet not a merchant will sit for this pro-
vince in either House, a fact which speaks volumes ; yet the
elections were conducted with order, and no one was insulted
by voting in opposition to the ultra-Liberal party.
Various of the journals now hint at the expediencyof calling
the extraordinary Cortes together, but I have every reason to
believe that there is no intention of anticipating their ordinary
meeting, which is in January every year.
The members of the Municipal Chamber of Lisbon, con-
ceiving that the Administrator-General, Costa Cabral, is inter-
fering with their prerogatives, have sent in their resignation;
but I dare say that they will be induced to continue in office for
the remainder of the year by some trifling concession.
Official intelligence is said to have reached the War-office
last evening, of the death of the Miguelite Chief, Baioa, on
the sth instant, at within three miles of the city of Evora ; he
is said to have been suddenly met by a few National Guards,
who, finding that he had only three men with him, summoned
him to surrender, which he declined, and a smart fire was
kept up for a few minutes until he fell. The Evora authori-
ties are in possession of his body. Baioa was a man who had
received some education, but who pretended to have great cause
of complaint against the present Government,without evermen-
tioning the:particulars. Jose Maria da Costa, alias the Squire
of the short hand, is the individual who headed the 26 men on
horseback, who entered Villa Vicosa and plundered the public
treasury of 3,600,000 rs., say about 8001. cash, then existing,
and, on their way from thence, they took all the post-horses
from Borba, besides ten at the post-house of Alcovaica, and
two belonging to that of Estremor, which they fell in with on
the road. They have gone towards the Lower Guadiana
along with some of Baioa's men; one of the party, one Brito
Gramacha, was taken prisoner on the 28th ult., and must have
been shot ere this. We hear from Deja that young Remechido
attacked a small detachment of the Queen's troops at St.
Lucia, and that he was repulsed with loss. Some troops were
instantly dispatched to the Alandral, in order to prevent a
junction of the Villa Vicosa guerilla with Remechido ; and
Major Cabral, the gentleman who captured Remechido's
father, has been entrusted with the command of the troops in
pursuit of the Alemtejo guerillas.
Her Majesty has issued the customary decree on such oc-
casions, directing that all documents which require her sig-
nature with urgency, during the first days of her confinement,
shall have the sign manual affixed to them in the presence of
the King and her Ministers. The happy event is now looked
forward to from day to day.
From a statement which has now been published it seems
that Brigadier Maninho, the present Governor of the Cape de
Verd Islands, granted, or rather sold, twelve patents for the
use of the Portuguese flag, during the year 1836, to nine
Spanish, two American, and one English vessel, all of which
were supposed to be intended for the Slave trade. It is some-
what extraordinary that, notwithstanding complaints against
this functionary are daily pouring into the Colonial-office, no
notice is taken of them, unless it be that his Excellency is
welPsupported by friends in power.
Her Majesty's ship Tribune sailed en the sth, supposed for
Cadiz, and the Tagus, Braganza, Transit, Oporto, and
Wiliiam Fawcett steamers successively arrived en the sth, 7th,
and Bth, from England, Cadiz, Malaga and Cadiz, Oporto,
and Madeira, with a good many passengers. The latter boat
only left Lisbon for Madeira on the 30th ult., at ten a.m.,
and was back here by five a.m. yesterday.
His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge left us
for Cadiz and Gibraltar on Saturday morning, after breakfast-
ing on board the Donegal with Admiral Ommaney.
A young lady, to whom the brother of a Noble Lord was
very much attached when here about eighteen months since,
was drowned the other day while bathing, at the Preece das
Macaus, not far from Cintra ; another young lady and two
other persons met with the like fate at the same time.

FRENCH BLOCKADE OF MEXICO.

(From the New York Papers.)
A French brig of war has arrived off Vera Cruz in 42 days
from France, with the information that an additional force of
fifteen vessels and 10,000 men would be sent by the French
Government to aid in the contemplated attack on Vera Cruz.
The brig of war La Perouse, still blockaded the port of
Tampico.
A couple of vessels have left Tampico for Havannah, Ja-
maica, and England, with about 2,000,000 dollars it specie.
Captain Babbett has opened a correspondence with the com-
mander of the French brig La Perouse, in consequence of
its having been reported that the French blockading squadron
would in future capture all vessels baund to the Mexican ports
without first warning them off, and in consequence of the sei-
zure of the American brig Vigil by the French brig of war.
The French commander replied on the Ist August in these
terms :

" I have been without orders from Commodore Bazoche for
some time, but I think I can assure you that no change has
taken place in the rules of the blockade that we pursue, and
which are those recognized by all nations ; the only difference
as regards our procedure is this--that at the commencement
of the bloakade we endorsed upon the Ror d'Equipage of all
the vessels met by us, and bound to the coast of Mexico, the
notification that since our differences with Mexico all her
ports were blockaded until further orders, and that now, as
the notice has been given to the Foreign Government, who
has officially advised her trade of the same, we have no longer
any advice to give upon falling in with such vessels as, in spite
of the blockade, seek to land effects for this nation with whom
we are in dispute.
" It is according- to these well-recognised rules that it is
probable that the American brig Vigil has been captured
(arrete), and I suppose she has been taken to Sacrificios, to
the Commander of the station."
