exh nt of appointing- authorities in the name of the pro-
tttilel t),!: Li tL toy U:Vikit ii iS In
accordance with them, I resolved to march on this city
~or the purpose of attacking these, enemies of her
:,/Itij.c.st:,''s throne and of the natonal liberties ; and I
now proceed to give you a tuccinet account of the stt.ick
,thie;t took place yesterday, to be submitted to their
\lajestit!s, until I shall have time to describe it more in
letai!. I entered Braga. yesterday by main force, and
inceeeded in completely d.Seating Macdonnell. That
:dventarer bed entrench,d himself within the city, and
forced from 1,500 to 2,000 na:-n, wh,an he had with hi,n,
in great part soldiers of Evora Monte, to fight despe
rately. They had 240 killed, seine of them being
colonels and lieutenant-colonels, and one major prisoner.
We had 36 killed and wounded—four officers of the
number. We bad also two horses wounded and one
killed. The fire lasted for four hours.

" God guard your Excellency
" BARON CASAL.
" ilead-quarters at Braga, Dec. 21, 1846."
CASAL issued the following proclamation the day
after the battle :

"Inhabitants of the province of Minho,—An English-
man without character, a Spaniard utterly unknown,
four ecclesiastics, the disgrace of their order, and half-a-
dozen men without name, virtue, or morality, seducing
come and forcing others, hare waged war against him
who offered you peace, and sealed with blood my en-
trance into this province, when I meant to have strewn
my path with roses. The valiant division under my
command has inflicted on them the merited chastisement
—may the lesson prove beneficial ! Mercy is open to
those who shall repent. but justice will fall with all its
rigour on those who shall not desist from their criminal
intentions. Inhabitants of the province of Minho, the
legitimate authorities are installed, anarchy has ceased.
and the necessary orders are issued for the re-establish-
ment 0f tranquillity. I reckon as much on the subordi-
nation of my soldiers as on the devotedness of my
countrymen. Misled and deceived men, abandon for
ever a banner—if such name it deserve—abhorred for its
injustice and forgotten for its antiquity. Spare your-
selves inevitable chastisement. Run to me—the arms
of a brother :are open to receive you, and I guarantee
the clemency of the illustrious Queen who presides over
our; destinies. Let Queen and Charter' be our de-
vice ; obey, and you will be happy. (Here follow the
usual vivas.)

The insurrectionary Junta at St. Michael's sent
on the 19th of December an officer to Terceira, re-
quiring it to join the movement. The Governor,
however, refused, and sent the officer back to St.
Michael's.

The extreme severity of the weather has prevented
SALDANIIA from undertaking anything of import-
ance. He was at Pombal on the 3d with the Ist and
2d brigade of the army of operations. His dispatches
announce that very many of DAS ANTAS'S soldiers
have deserted over to him. On the 31st no fewer than
43 cane over from the 7th Infantry and 7th Caca-
dores. On New Year's-day 21 came over, and on the
following day four more.
On the last day of the year the QUEEN gave a
grand dinner at the Palace of the Necessidades to
Admiral PARKER and the Commanders of the several
vessels composing the British squadron in the Tagus,
and to Colonel WYLDE and Mr. SOUTHERN, the British
Charge d'Affaires.

The Diario announces that—" Her MAJESTY
desired by this dinner to give a testimony to our
ancient ally of the value she sets on the relations of
friendship which bind the two countries." The
Ministers and other official persons were likewise
present.

The Diario thus describes the state of Portugal at
the close of the year 1846 :

Here, on the last day of 1846, we are without trade,
without authorities, without law, without security, with-
out property, without peace, without order, without
mewls, without credit, in the midst of bloodshed, loss of
life, and every calamity and disaster."
Accounts from Angola announce the destruction of
two slavers by the Portuguese war schooner Nympha.
The Portuguese troops in that colony had achieved a
victory over the natives.

Madrid journals to the sth have arrived.
The father of Senor OLOZAGA died at Madrid on

the 3d. His death, which, it is said, was hastened
by the treatment his son has received, has excited a
great sensation. Senor OLOZAGA is himself confined
in the citadel of Pampeluna, where he is retained
au secret.

The follo Ning are copies, in the original Spanish,
followed by translations, of the passport of Senor
OLOZAOA, delivered to him by the Spanish Consul
at Bayonne, and of the warrant of PIDAL, the
Minister of the Home Department, for his arrest :

" c( OF THE ORDER OF ARREST.

" Mini st ry of the Government of the Peninsula,
Sec ti on of the Home Department.—(Private.)
"It having b een intimated to her Majesty the Queen
that Don Sala: itiano Olozaga has made his way into
Spain, her M esty has ordered, in concurrence with ber
Council of Mi isters, that he be arrested wheresoever he
may be found, and conducted to her citadel of Pampe-
luna, where Ile shall be detained until he is tried ac
cording to law- by a competent tribunal. Captain D—,
of the Civic G -u ard, the bearer of this, is one of the per-
sons entrusted with the commission. It is her Majesty's
wish that the . Political Chiefs, and other authorities to
whom he may" apply, shall render him what assistance
he may think ni 2cessary. " PIDAL.
" Madrid, !De c. 28, 1846."

Not withst ar (ding the wording of the warrant, that
"he is to be t letained until he is tried according to
law by a col ni )etent tribunal," it is generally supposed
that he will ru be tried at all, but that he will be
sent back to • Bayonne. Many of the firmest sup-
porters of t be ) Ministry have expressed their disap-
proval of the 'arrest of OLOZAGA, and their conviction
of its illegal it: To all remonstrances ISTURITZ re-
plies, that 0 IA )ZAGA is the enemy of the QUEEN.
The Chan ei ier of Deputies is still occupied in inves-
tigating the alidity of the election returns. On the
4th, in reply to a speech from the Minister of the In-
terior, PIDA r., defending himself from the accusations
brought age ,i 1 ist him of having unduly interfered at
the late elec ti ons, Senor MENDIZADAD made the fol-
lowing spee cl which may be considered as the pro-
gramme of thi Progressista Parliamentary policy :
" I have j) est heard M. Pidal declare that one of the
two conseqt ten ces of his administrative course is the
creation of a g overnment. He ought to have said ' a
national gov vu ament. After an absence of four years,
I fancied, as 114 3ntered this hall, that I had been dreaming
for three yerm ; and a half. Of this dream but ono re-
collection an d thought remained—it was that my happi-
ness would b e complete, if, on the day of the inaugura-
tion of the C;o) 3gress I might be permitted to address the
nation. WI 3a t I wanted to say, and shall now say, is,
that it is ref 4.1 •ved to this Congress to raise its voice with
vigour, firm n ess, and unanimity, in order to express
the wish th a veil be drawn over the political
errors we 11 of us have more or less hitherto
committed. Such is the only means of creating a
national gov, ernment. Exclusions prove but one
thing—the w eakness of our institutions (and re-
member that many of you have contributed to
their establisht nent)—great feebleness in the men now
in power, or t he great importance of those who are ex-
cluded. Do z tot forget a people who have made such
