THE CONDE DAS ANTAS TO THE JUNTA.

" Minden° steamer, May 31.
" When I was prepared this morning to proceed with the
expedition placed under my command, according to the order
of the Junta, I received an intimation from the Commander-
in-Chief of the naval forces of her Britannic Majesty, close
to the bar of Oporto, to anchor under the cover of its artillery.
I required that the said order should be given to me in writing,
in order that I might comply with my duties to the Junta as
a soldier under its command, though obliged to yield to a
superior force. I then received the accompanying notice from
the Commander of the English forces. Under these circum-
stances, surrounded by several English ships of war superior
to us in force, and my strength consisting chiefly of soldiers,
fit to act on land and not at sea, I felt myself unable to repel
force by force, and was compelled to lay down my arms, which
I did, accompanying the act by a protest (a copy of which is
annexed) against the unjust aggression made on Portugal.
"I am, &c., " CONDE DAS ANTAS."

The Junta at the same time addressed a formal pro-
test to the English Consul, but as this document is too
long for your columns, I only extract the most pointed
passages. After reciting the facts of the case, the Junta
say, " We protest solemnly against this foreign inter-
vention in the domestic affairs of Portugal, which, as a
nation free and independent, has an indisputable right
to constitute itself politically according to the existing
laws. We protect against this flagrant violation of the
rights of nations." The Junta adds, "Yielding to force
and violence, but still solemnly protesting, we assent to
the armistice required by Sir H. Seymour, on the con-
dition contained in his letter, that the forces of the
Government of Lisbon shall at the same time abstain
from all hostilities by sea and land ; but, as before the
receipt of the said letter of Sir IL Seymour the com-
mander of the British naval forces off the bar of Oporto
thought proper, without any declaration of war, or
previous intimation, to take possession, against the usage
of civilised people, in a manner hitherto unknown, of
the squadron and troops belonging to the Junta, we
protest solemnly against the act, as one which vio-
lates all national law, and which we never could have
expected from the old and faithful ally of Portugal."
The Junta then say, "We are engaged in drawing
up a protest to be addressed to all the Powers of Eu-
rope and the civilised world ; but, in the meantime,
we call on you to restore to us the ships and soldiers
of the expedition, because the orders of the British Go-
vernment apply only to ships of war and not to land
forces. Secondly, because the pretext having ceased
under which the ships were arrested, those vessels should
be allowed to re-enter the Douro, and be placed in the
position in which they were antecedent to the capture;
and, thirdly, because the expedition was sent out under
the faith of national law by the Commander-in-Chief,
who obeyed orders given by the Junta in ignorance of
the intentions of the British squadron.
The Junta at the same time issued the following
proclamation to the Civil Governor of Oporto for
the conservation of order and the protection of
strangers:—
" The Provisional Junta, in the name of the nation and the
Queen, command the Civil Governor of Oporto to publish
the necessary orders that sJ strangers resident in the terri-
tory obedient to the Junta shall continue to enjoy the pro-
tection and guarantees hitherto received by them—no matter
what may be the relations of the Government of the said
strangers with the Portuguese nation—and that the utmost
rigour of the law shall be directed against those who shall
offend or injure such strangers as occupy themselves with
their private affairs and do not interfere in domestic political
questions. The Junta anticipates that all persons under its
administration will in this important crisis afford indubitable
proof of their advance in civilization."

The Junta followed up these orders with the most
energetic measures, and I am glad to say that not a
single Englishman has had reason to complain of the
slightest insult or injury. The people were much
irritated on seeing their fleet carried to the south-
ward, each of our steamers having a Portuguese
vessel in tow ; but the peace of the city was so well
preserved that we walked about in full security,
and even those who committed the imprudence of
being out at late hours of the night reached their
homes in safety. This good conduct was observed
under the additional aggravation that Marshal
Saldanha, in defiance of the armistice, advanced his
head-quarters to Grigo within two leagues of the city,
and his advanced posts to Campo Grande, only one
league, and that a Spanish force had crossed at Valenta,
from Galicia, and defeated with great loss the Junta
troops stationed near that place. lam told that Sal-
danha, when remonstrated with for disregarding the
armistice, said, that the orders for advance had been 1
previously given, and that he was glad to be near
Oporto to assist the Junta in protecting the persons
and property of strangers. I suppose the leader
of the Spanish troops at Valenca will offer a similar
excuse. The conduct of Saldanha does not escape
criticism here—and men exclaim against the Duke who
remained four months quiet at Oliveira, and never
moved a step forward until he had the cover of an
armistice, and found that the Junta lost 2,400 men in
one sweep. The Marshal must not be too sure, for if
there be not treason in the town, and the negotiation be
broken off, he has not the means of reducing Oporto.
The garrison was kept under arms for two nights in con-
sequence of Saldanha 's approach the lines of the south
were fully manned ; the -head of Villa Nova, and the
river, protected by artillery ; and as the duty seemed to
be cheerfully done, I should think the Marshal would
not have been pleased with his reception had he attacked.
The Valenca affair is more serious, the Junta troops
suffered severely—a loss of 100 men is the minimum ;
an immediate retreat took place to Ponte do Lima, and I
believe that not one, but many, have come back to Oporto.
I am very glad, before I close this letter, to say that I
have had an opportunity of ascertaining whether Sir
Thomas Maitland, the Spanish Consul, or the Duke of
Saldanha, had conformed to the armistice now offered to
be accepted by the Junta ; and I find that none of these
persons have officially agreed to it. They contend that
the armistice was proposed merely to give time for re-
ceiving the answers of the great Powers ; and that pur-
pose having been answered by the Bulldog's dispatches,
the offer of an armistice terminates of itself. I believe,
however, that friendly steps have been taken to induce
Saldanha to suspend his onward march, and that while
he appears to accede the Spaniards obstinately refuse.
The sortie from Valenca is but the first effort of Spanish
determination, and other troops will immediately pass
the frontier, unless orders to the contrary have been
given. I also find that the Junta are willing to accept
the amnesty and the four articles ; and I therefore pre-
sume that our Minister and the Court of Lisbon will
accept the offer, and thus terminate an affair which may
lead to unpleasant consequences.
I conclude my letter by giving you copies of an ad•
dress, presented by all the British residents now remain-
ing in Oporto to the Junta, thanking that body for its
protection of their persons and property in the present
crisis ; and of an address presented to Captain Robb,
of the Gladiator, previous to that officer having left the
Douro:—

"TO TIIE EX-MINISTER SENOR JOSE DA STLVA PASSOS.
" Oporto, June 7.
" The undersigned, subjects of her Britannic Majesty, re-
sident in the heroic city of Oporto, deeply affected by the
generosity and kindness with which the excellent Junta, the
authorities, the troops, and inhabitants of the said city have
acted in so painful a crisis towards them, feel it to be a duty,
no less sacred than pleasing, to make known the sentiments
of gratitude by which they are animated.
" The benevolence of a people of cavaliers fully justifies the
confidence with which they have placed themselves under its
protection. They are anxious to show by every means in their
power the grateful sentiments by which they are animated—
and they cannot refrain from offering to the All Powerful
their humble but ardent prayers for the welfare, happiness,
and prosperity of the great Portuguese family.
" The undersigned avail themselves, &c. &c.
" [ Signed by twenty-five British subjects now in Oporto.]"
It is understood that the address has been voted, not
from political motives, but as a well-earned tribute to
the protection afforded by the Junta; and I know that
many who have signed are well-wishers to the Queen.
I now give the address to Captain Robb:—
" Sir,—The undersigned British res d
being informed that you are under ordersquit the Douro,
With her Majesty's Ship Gladiator,on not
i“eonporto,

tollow you to cross

the bar, without expressing the strong sense they entertain
of the services you have rendered them, services still more
grateful from your uniform kindness and hospitality.
" The protection you have so ably afforded them has been
rendered most efficacious by the strict neutrality you have
maintained, any deviation from which could not but have
been followed by loss of influence.
"They request the favour of you to convey their thanks,
and this expression of their kind feelings, to the officers of
your ship, and to those of the vessels which have been under
your command.
"'With every wish for your prosperity, in which they must
ever take a warm interest, they have the honour to subscribe

" To Captain Robb, &c., her Majesty's ship Gladiator.'

(FROM OIIR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
LISBON, FRIDAY, JCNE 4.
The protocol signed in London on the 22d ult. has
already borne fruits. Active and most effectual inter-
vention has taken place within eight days of the signa-
tures being affixed. Three steamers, a corvette, and
eight smaller vessels, in the service of the Junta, with
2,400 men on board of them, have been seized by our
blockading squadron at the mouth of the Douro, and
are now within the Tagus, the vessels restored to the
Queen of Portugal, and the insurgent division which
filled them imprisoned in Fort St. Julian.

In my last I mentioned the return of the war-steamer
Bulldog to Lisbon, on the evening of the 27th ult., after
a rapid voyage of four days from Portsthouth, with
dispatches for Sir H. Seymour and Admiral Parker,
communicating the signing of the protocol and the fur-
ther instructions. Not an instant was lost in trans-
mitting corresponding instructions by the Bulldog to
the commander of our squadron at Oporto, who was
directed (as I intimated in my last) to " make the
blockade effective," in conjunction with a French ship of
war. Within thirty hours after these instructions
reached Oporto, a grand expedition which the Junta
had prepared to sail for Peniche, about thirty miles
north of Lisbon, and, disembark there, to march on the
capital, in pursuance of the policy which I described in
a former letter, and which designed to hustle Donna
Maria off the throne and get her out of the kingdom
before Lord Palmerston could have arranged with
France and Spain as to the ulterior proceedings, sailed
from the Douro, with Das Antas on board as commander-
in-chief, when they fell, quite innocently, into the
hands of our blockading squadron, whose commander
" stopt the way," and intimated that they could not pass.
The expeditionary squadron chose to disregard this in-
timation, and was proceeding to pass out of the river
when, of course, without firing a shot, which would have
been madness, considering the superiority of naval force
on our side, they gave themselves up as prisoners, with
many protestations that " they y ielded only to constraint
and force," and with a formal declaration that they
surrendered to the Allied Powers, and not to the Queen
of Portugal.

This important seizure took place at sunset on the
30th ult. It was the more important because the three
insurgent steamers which left Oporto about ten days since
(as detailed in my last) had returned and formed part of
the present expedition. The vessels seized by the allied
squadron were the following ;—Steamers—Royal Tar,
Mindello, Porto, corvette Eighth of July ; Merchant
vessels—Florida Amizsde and Amor da Petrie, and six
hiates—in all 12 vessels, having on board a force of
2,400 men of all arms, with 50 horses and two pieces of
artillery, the military commander of the expedition being
the Conde das Antes, and the naval commander an Eng-
lishman, named Salter, who deserted at the commence-
ment of this insurrection from the naval service of the
Queen of Portugal, and has since been doing all the in-
jury he could to his adopted Sovereign. The prize was
made on the bar in front of Oporto, and all the vessels
immediately cast anchor. Das Antas was on board the
Mindello steamer, and was allowed to remain there ; but
Salter was removtd on board the Bulldog. Several of
the most important amongst the insurgent leaders were
likewise on board the vessels forming the insurgent
squadron, and the leaders remaining in Oporto are for
the most part Miguelites.
The commander of the blockading squadron, in pur-
suance of his instructions, informed Count das Antes and
the other leaders who surrendered themselves prisoners
to the allies, that they should be immediately brought to
the Tagus, where the orders of the British Minister and
Admiral could be taken as to how they were to be dis-
posed of. Accordingly, they sailed for the Tagus, es-
corted by a sufficient force, including our fine steamers
the Sidon and the Gladiator, and arrived here the day be-
fore yesterday. It became necessary to provide for their
safe custody, and, after much discussion, Fort St. Julian,
at the mouth of the Tagus, was determined on as being,
all things considered, the most fitting place for the pur-
pose. The prisoners were disembarked there in the
course of yesterday, Sir H. Seymour, Admiral Parker,
and Colonel Wylde, having taken active measures to se-
cure the twofold object of their safe keeping and the best
accommodation, with a view to their personal comfort,
that could be obtained. Sir H. Seymour was especially
engaged for many hours of yesterday and the day before
in settling various difficulties connected with our occu-
pation of the fort as a place of secure and healthy
custody of the prisoners, and as to its sanatory ar-
rangements, quite as much as the effectual garrisoning
of it.

The news of this important capture was carried to
Lisbon by the Madrid Peninsular packet, which reached
this in the afternoon of the Ist instant. It speedily be-
came disseminated through the metropolis, and pro-
duced a most extraordinary sensation, having taken
every one by surprise, and filling the Queen's supporters
with joy, and the adherents of the Junta with dismay.
The arrival of the vessels from Oporto followed shortly
after the receipt of the intelligence, and it is impossible
to conceive anything more brilliant than the appearance
of the river, thus filled with ships of war and vessels of
all descriptions. The question of the safe custody of the
prisoners immediately gave rise to extensive negotia-
tions and transmission of instructions between Lisbon
and the mouth of the Tagus, about five miles distant,
where the fleet of captured vessels and their convoy
(nearly 20 sail in all) lay. The Spanish brig of war
Soberano, 12, entered the river on the following day,
bearing a portion of the crew of the captured corvette
Eighth July ; and on the same day the Spanish cor-
vette Venus, 18, entered from Cadiz,:and the war-
steamer Isabel Segundo, from a cruise on the etiast.
On the previous day, in addition to the captured squa-
dron and its convoy, our ship of war the Superb, and
our brig Recruit entered the river from a cruise on the
coast, as did likewise our war-steamer the Geyser, from
Portsmouth in four days. It is impossible to describe
the splendour of the scene which this most beautiful of
rivers thus presented, covered with beautiful moving ob-
jects that seemed imbued with life, yet showed in their
armaments such powerful materials of destruction, and
lit up by a sun of incomparable brilliancy. Amongst the
ships of war in the river were four Spanish, one French,
and English almost innumerable.
The landing and securing of the prisoners within the
precincts of St. Julian's was completed yesterday after-
noon; they are guarded by a strong body of our marines.
On Wednesday some 50 cavalry and 16 artillerymen
went down in a steamer to conduct the captured horses
and mules to Lisbon, and arsenal boats to bring up the
armament, &c.

The greater number of the captured vessels arrived
here in a miserable state, short both of provisirns and
water, which the leaders of the expedition, with the cus-
tomary negligence of the Peninsula, entirely forgot to
put on board in sufficient quantity. Too many men
were likewise crammed on board some of the vessels,
and they arrived, like the human cattle of a slaver, ter-
ribly exhausted by the excessive heat and confined
space. We have thus got a little army of prisoners on
our hands, and will not perhaps find it so easy to get rid
of them. Whenever set at liberty they may immediately
proceed to make a fresh rebellion, of which their num-
bers would form a sufficient nucleus. The country must
be in some degree re-organized before they are set free,
and the Queen's army established on a footing of real
efficiency. As the prisoners persevered in their con-
tumaciousness to the last, and surrendered, not to the
Queen, but to the allies, it is probable that they will not
get the benefit of the amnesty originally proposed.
On Wednesday morning, two aides-de• camp, com-
missioned by Sada Bandeira, presented themselves at
Vinhae's head-quarters, outside Setubal, offering to
accept an armistice. Dispatches were instantly for-
warded by Vinhaes upon this subject to the capital. I
am informed to-day that a steamer is to go to Oporto
immediately with the two aides-de-camp of Sa who
came over on Wednesday evening with Lieutenant Van-
sittart and an aide-de-camp of Vinhaes. It is understood
that Sa proposes an armistice until he shall have received
instructions from the Junta. A Council of Ministers
was held on the arrival of these dispatches, and the
feeling generally prevails that the proposed suspension
of hostilities has been accepted.
Amongst the prisoners captured at the bar of Oporto
were some who had fled very recently from Lisbon and
joined the Junta's forces. Two had done so only that
other day. The Septembrists are puttingit abcut that
Das Antes had been bought over, and, in short, sold
them.
Yesterday was Corpus Christi day, when the grandest
annual procession of Portugal would, in ordinary cir-
cumstances have taken place, but the disturbed state of
the country prevented it.
The liberation of the Duke da Terceira by the Junta
at the eleventh hour was a measure which, however for-
tunate for the Duke, is little to be accounted to their
credit. The least consideration of the age, services, and
distinguished character of the most eminent of the
Queen of Portugal's subjects, makes his detention in

A royal decree, signed by the Queen, and counter-
signed by all the Ministers, declares Setubal and the
ports to the north of the Douro as far as Viana, to be
under blockade.
A conspiracy has been formed at Vizeu, which was to
break out in insurrection. The plan, however, has been
defeated by the activity of the authorities. A guerilla
of about 500 men was formed in the country round, but
could make no progress in consequence of being pursued
closely by Baron de Ourem's column. The guerilla
fighting has continued at intervals about Vizeu, Guards,
and Coimbra.
The works of the canal of Azambuja, for rendering
the Tagus navigable about thirty miles from Lisbon, are
still carried on by a company, of which the leading mem-
ber is the Marquis de Fayal.
On the Ist information reached us that the Miguelite
General, Povoas, in the service of the Junta, admitted
in the Beira Alta, where he had been endeavouring to
get up a pronuhciamietelo, that after the effective inter-
position of the three Powers resistance was hopeless,
but that the appearance of strong resistance should still
be continued, with a view to a more favourable trans-
action at the end. Baron de Ourem was still pursuing
the guerillas of the Serra de Estrella, and several of
them had returned to their homes.
The exchange on London is 54i ; the discount on
Bank of Lisbon notes is still at 2,300. The funds are

beginning again to look up, and purchases to be made.
The distress is Lisbon is little mitigated. The high
price of provisions continues, and the long subsisting
disturbances cause the markets to be badly supplied. It
is next to an impossibility to bet a pound of mutton fit
to eat. The oranges this season have been very inferior,
and the state of Setubal cuts off our usual supply from
that quarter. This dearth of fruit is felt the more be-
cause the summer heats have set in here within the last
few days, and are of unusual intensity. Much injury
has been done within a very short period to wheat, In-
dian corn, and other cereals, the plants at this period
being so tender and easily dried up. The fierceness of
the heat for nearly a week has been perfectly tropical,
and has injured even the vines. Some nights the heat
has been of equal intensity as during the day, and the
thermometer at times has stood at 100 deg. of Fahren-
heit in the shade.

POSTSCRIPT, FIVE O'CLOCK, P.31.—A1l difficulties
and heartburnings connected with St. Julian's have at
length been overcome or quieted. The prisoners have
taken possession, but not till cases of typhus had ap-
peared. The disembarkation of the last of the prisoners
was completed this day about noon. Some of them were
sn a dreadful state, in consequence of the overcrowding
of the vessels and the total absence of ventilation, clean-
sing, and commissariat. Sir H. Seymour's exertions
have been incessant up to this moment in endeavouring
to procure all possible appliances for the prisoners' ac-
commodation and well-being. The native authorities do
not seem quite to understand that men whose crime
though grievous is still only of opinion, are not to be
treated with vindictive persecution. Some difficulty was
raised as to giving up the entire control of St. Julian's
to
the allies; but Sir H. Seymour has happily overcome this
obstacle.
There are some indications of a wish entertained by
both Das Antas and Sada Bandeira to accept an honour-
able compromise. tinder such circumstances, her Faith-
ful Majesty would do wrong to withhold the clemency
which she set out by demonstrating.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE
OF THE UNIVESITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
London, June 9, 1847.
Gentlemen,—Encouraged by the suggestions of many members
of the Senate who are entitled to my confidence and respect, I ven-
ture to announce my intention of offering myself as a Candidate fur
the representation of the University of Cambridge.
In seeking a distinction which I should value more highly than I
can express, I feel it my duty to make my grateful avowal that I
owe to Cambridge whatever may have been useful in my past life ;
and should I be honoured with your confidence, I shall prove my
attachment to the University by a steady and unremitting endeavour
to promote its interests.

My official occupations, which have withdrawn me from political
controversy, have taught me moderation by enabling me to appre-
ciate and respect the good qualities and motives of public men of all
parties. I think it right, however, to declare that my political opi-
nions are In accordance with those of her Majesty's present Govern-
ment, whom I shall gladly support is the fulfilment of the pledges
which they gave on entering into office, to take the best means of
preserving our valuable institutions, by addressing themselves to
sound and practical mepsures for the improvement and elevation of
the Social, moral, and religious condition of the people.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obadieut •va tr,
JOHN GEORGE SHAW LEFEVIIE.
