The news of yesterday, both from Spain and
Portugal, is of immense importance. The Coun-
ter. Revolution in Portugal appears to be nearly
complete. It was begun in the neighbourhood of
Lisbon on the 27th May, by General Sampayo ;
the Infant Miguel, the King's son, put himself
at the head of the insurgents, and proclaimed the
abolition of the Constitution at. Villa Franca,
only 20 miles distant from the capital. On the
29th Gen. Sepulveda, with great part of the gar-
rison, of Lisbon, joined Prince Miguel« The same

day the King, who was under the ciintroul of
the Revolutionists, Darned' a new Ministry; but
D. Neves Costa, one of the persons nominated,
instead of accepting office, joined the Prince.
On the 30th, three other Ministers were chosen
from the Revolutionary
,party ; but on the 31st
the Royalists had advanced to Scavem, within
five miles of Lisbon ; and there is every reason to
believe they entered the capital itself on.the Ist
June.—ln the south of Spain we were told that
the plan—the great military plan—of the
.Revo-
lutionists was to develope itself; and that
General Bordesoult was marching to certain de.
struction in the passes of the Sierra Morena.—
Well ! the first news we hear from that quarter,
.even before the French have reached the Sierra
Morena is, that the Revolutionists are beaten
by the Spanish Royalists! Valdepenas is
in La Mancha, on the road to Seville, 126
Miles South of Madrid, near the head of the
Guadiana ; between 30 and 40 miles further to
-the South, among the mountains, lies la Carolina,
and about 15- or 16 miles beyond (het, descend-
ing toward the Guadalquivir, is Baylen, memo.:
rable for the surrender: of Dupont's army to
General Castanos in 1808. On the ith instant
the Revolutionary General Palencia had a part
of his corps at Santa Cruz de Mudela, on the
Valdepenas road, and was marching with the rest
upon Almagro, about fifteen miles west of that
road. Finding that the corps was thus di-
vided, the Royal Spanish General, the Duke De
Dine, attacked those that were at Santa Cruz de
Mndela, completely surprised them, took the only
two pieces of cannon which they possessed, and
made 200 prisoners, whom he conducted to La
Carolina on the Bth inst. On hearing this news,
Palencia hastily retired from Almagro, and di-
rected his march across the mountains ; but here
he was so unfortunate as to fall in with Gen. Bor-
desoult,who completely destroyed his small force,
about GOO in number, of whom he made 260 pri-
soners; and then pursued his route to Baylen.—
We -once more beg our readers to refloat on the
faithful statements. which we have constantly
laid' before them ; and -on the profligate; shine-
' less misrepreSeutations, with which they have
:been deceived, by our opponents "If-Abe
French abandon _the .protection of the 'Py-
renees," said. The Timer, 44 they will be swul.
lowed up amidst an armed Nation." !!! Where
is the armed -Nation ? And what did Mr. Lamb-
ton and his Committee mean by talking of " the
gallant people of Spain ?" ifere is French
Corps, which has net only abandoned the protec-
tion of the Pyrenees, but proceeded nearly 200
miles South of -Madrid,. and crossed-the Sierra
Morena, without seeing any ,thing of the ‘' gallant
people," or the a armed nation," except the dis-
comfited remaims (600 in all) of a Corps, which
had been beaten by: their own countrymen, and
which the- French completely destroyed !

MORNING Unit() NICLE6I
The Courier, who (it cannot be repeated too
often), is the evening organ of the Jesuitical Go-
vernment of France, contends that there is a
mighty difference between lending money to the
Bourbons and, giving money or arms to the brave
hut pauperized people, whom these said Bourbons
are seeking to enchain. Granted, there is a dif-
, ference ; in the. .one case, the money will be lent
to the wicked' oppressor —•in •the other, it
will be given to the, oppressed. Some English
loan jobbers will, in the first case, lend
Money to an unjust and wicked faction in one cowl-
try,„ with which that factien may find the means
to enslave the nobler, Abut poor people ,of
another ; in the .second -case the people of
England will give to a gallant people, struggling
for all that Englishmen hold dear, the means
of struggling successfully,' This is undoubted-
ly a mighty ditterence, I3ut, adds The Cou-
rier, it is legal to lend, and illegal to give.—
The distinction between lending and giving is
sometimes rather a nice one. The money that
the French Government wishes to obtain in Lon-
don may be called a loan, but its real character
will be best understood at the time it shall have
been repaid. When will that happen'? Let The
Cvorier reflect fora moment on the present state
of France ! and answer that question. The money
that is Subscribed,
,and is about to be laid out in
arms for the Spaniards, may be called a gift ; but
if it should enable the brave Spaniards to check
the wicked march Of the Holy Alliance, and of
French supremacy, it will, in point of fact„
have been a loan, 'repaid an hundred-fold to
the people of England, by re4niug them from
,the evils of another 64 Continental System."—
The writer itr The Courier must prove that we
are wrong in thus viewing the two cases,
before he again advances the Jesuitical quibble
respecting the difference between a loan and a gift.
if his view should be adopted by the British Go-
vernment, the proposal of our City Correspon-
dent, in The Chronicle of yestelday, may smooth
the difficulty, that the money or arms about to be
conveyed to Spain shall be lent to the Spaniards.
If they fail in their struggle? the money is the last
thing we ought to think of ; if they succeed, we.
shall be their debtors to an incalculably larger
amount than that of the subscriptions we shall
raise for them.

Mr. Peel's exposure last night of the fabrica-
tions of the Princess Olive will be read with
much surprise, that any individual should have
had the audacity to carry impOsition to such a
daring length, and that in this enlightened me-
tropolis the iwposition should have succeeded
so extensively as it leas, even with respectable
people. It must have cost the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman not a little trouble to get' together the
body of evidence by which it hasaverturned for
ever the claims and the consequence of this noted
Princess. The whole will form an important
chapter in the History of Imposture.—(Thid.)

We are assured that the 'revocation of the order
for the dismissal of the Countess of Bourke from
Paris was applied for by the Foreign Ambassadors,
and that they obtained from the French Minister
its indefinite suspension. As to the Countess of
Oxford and Mrs. Hutchinson, the decision is
adhered, to, notwithstanding the represantations
of the Ambassador of ,England ; and these two
Ladies are to leave France immediately.—(Path
