PORTUGAL.
PLYMOUTH, JULY 3.
The Dublin Steam-packet Company's steam-ship
Duke of Cornwall, Captain Robert Ke4ipstone,
which has beer. these last three months in the service
of her Majesty the Queen of Portugal, came in this
afternoon for coal, bound to London. She left Lisbon
on the 28th of June, Op Tto on the 30th, and Vigo
on the 30th. She brings English passengers--Mr.
Burnett, Mrs. Appleby and daughters, Miss Barry
and Mr. Ottley, with dispatches for the Admiralty,
and letter bags from her Majesty's ship America, her
Majesty's brig Nautilus, her Majesty's ship Gladiator,
and her Majesty's steamer Jack

Sir Thomas Maitland ; her Majesty's brig Nautilus,
10, Commander W. T. Rivers; her Majesty's steam-
vessel Gladiator, Captain Robb; her Majesty's steam.
vessel Jackal, Commander George Western.
The Queen's authority has been fully established
at and near Lisbon. The prisoners taken by the
British forces have in great numbers volunteered into
the royal servi!.,e. The rest are sent to their ,homes.
The Government had issued a decree to the mer-
chants, in expectation of raising a loan on payment of
the duties at Oporto, but money was very scarce.
The harvest is promising. There is no fruit for
shipment.
The ships Royal Tar, Mindello, Oporto, and
Eighth of July, captured in the employ of the' insur-
gents, were all given up, and are now recommissioned
by the Portuguese Government. •
The Spaniards, under General Concha, wdre vir-
tually in possession of Oporto. A skirmish took
place at Villa Nova, to the south of that city, on
Sunday last, the 27th ult., between the Queen's
forces and the insurgents, when about fifty on either
side were killed. The insurgents there are ready to
lay down their arms and surrender when they know
who is to pay their arrears for past service. The
English residents are respected and protected at
Oporto.
At Vigo the English ships which have been de-
tained by blockade were about to sail, on the 30th
ult., for Oporto.

THE SPANISH INTERVEN
IN PORTUGAL.
RIDAJOZ, JUNE 22.—Notwithstanding that
war in Portugal may be said to be at an end, the
Government have not desisted from their oetert
to interfere, and, in consequence, the division
army of operations which belongs to the distric
tremadura will this day cross the fronti
march on Ylves and Estremcz. The 1
this divisidn is about 4.500 infantry,
battalions of artillery, and 400 horse, to which
added a few detached bodies of infantry and
which had crossed the frontier several days a
mentioned in a former letter, and now occup
Campo Mayor, and other cantonments on the h
to Lisbon.
The motive assigned for this division penetral
Portugal is, that the Government of the Quee
Maria has asked for a force of the Spanish army
the principal fortresses and towns of Alemtejo,o
are now dispersed the disbanded forces of Sa Bani
the Count Mello, to secure the public tranquillid
present, and give time to the Government of
re-organise the administration of the country, a
in a state of the utmost confusion.
The Captain-General Nozagaray, who commi
force, has to-day published a proclamation to t
inculcating the utmost order and discipline in tli
meat, ancipromising the severest punishments(
who attempted in the least to injure or ill-treat
tuguese inhabitants. The detached parties of
troops which have already entered Portugal 1
place, and which were thrown forward as feelerl _
tarn the state of feeling of the people, were very we__
received; and no doubt, should the main body of the
division which this day marches on Ylves conduct them-
relves in a temperate and orderly manner, they also will
be well received, because the peaceable inhabiants only
seek for security for their lives arid property, and gladly
receive any force which will secure them, for the present,
tranquillity in th,ir homes.
Several Portuguese refugees have entered Spain along
the line of frontier. A depot is ordered to be formed at
Merido, on the road to Madrid, for their reception,
where there are given rations for the men, and a small
allowance, according to rank, to field-officers and subal-
terns. From everything I can learn from Portugal I
can safely assure you that it will be the presence of a
toreign torte which can alone preserve nrder and
tranquillity there for the present, and that it ,would be
utterly impossible that a Government of any party
could re-organize the administration of the country if
heft to depend on its own resources to insure peace and
order.
I follow the army to Ylves and Estremcz, and I shall
detail to you, on the spot, the teatures of affairs, after so
long and violent a political struggle as that which has
iust ended.— Times.

THE WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
On Friday night, at eight o'clock, a meeting of Mr.
C. Lushington's general committee was held at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, on the business of
the election. Mr. Henry George Robins*, of St.
George's parish, in the char.
Mr. G. floGoErr, the secretary, said that since the
last general meeting several sub-committee meetings had
been held, and that gentlemen connected with various
parishes .had come forward volunteering their services to
canvass their respective districts ; that sone parishes
had been almost entirely gone through, and t e result of
the canvass was most satisfactory.—(Hear.) ,
Mr. HEALEY observed that some persons had been
threatened with actions, in consequence of the circular
emanating from the society. It would be we I, perhaps,
we
to consider what course the committee shout pursue is
ae event of Mr. C. Cochrane taking legal pr eedings.
Mr. LEWIS, jun., said that they would hea enough of
law proceedings during the election, after hich they
would hear no more. lie would suggest t those who
had received letters to keep them in their p kets.
Mr. PROUT said it was stated in the repOrt given in
the Morning Advertiser of that day of the meeting held
at the Hanover-square Rooms the previous 'day, that if
only one-tenth part 'of the allegations in the circular
were true of that with which he bad been charged, that
he ought to be scouted from all decent society. What-
ever the committee had published in their circular they
would prove to be true.
Mr. GUTHRIE observed he was happy o hear the
observation, as it would leave a strong impression upon
those who had been induced to give their promises to
Mr. Cochrane.
The meeting separated, measures havingl been taken
to carry on the canvass.
