The Liberal Papers indulge in repeating, on the authority, of
the Bru.viel4 Ora&' that all the English are eagerly quitting
France for England. Ii y this it Is insinuated that tho present
state of Vrance•renders the residence of foreigners in it unsafe.
This fear, or this repugnance, can Only be entertained by those
who only know the state of the kingdom from perusing the
iiiheral Journals.

Handmrif ewe: patient has stated that three Com.
missiuners of the Allied Monarchs are .on their way to the
head-quarters of the Duke d'.Angoulaine. Thii statement rests
on no authentic foundation; but from it may be inferred, that
the .Allied Powers arc so persuaded of the deliverance of Per!.
dinand, VII.; that they have already appointed.the Envoys Who
are again to represent-their Sovereigns at the Court of his Ca.

PA u Rea 17.—it is known that most of the FrenCh of-
ficers who, under various eireitinstances, were condemned for
political, offences, 'succeeded in finding refuge in Spain ; thence
they endeavoured to seduce our soldiers, and to .corrupt their
fidelity, Of this, the following fact, the authenticity of which
we guarantee, is a sufficient proof :—Two soldiers were in gar-
risen a few days ago in the little Commune of Biriaton. This
village is oniy separated :from the Spanish territory by the
llidas.soa, which in this place is very narrow. Posted on the
bank of the river, they saw advance on the opposite side two
officers, whom, by their mien and attire, they at once recognized
to be Frenchmen. These latter invited the two sentinels.td
cross the river and drink with them ; the invitation Was-ref Used
—they importuned them more earnestly; but still without
success. The officers at length proposed to them to abandon
for ever the French soil, and enter the service of Spain.—
" Come," said they, " you shall want for nothing; you shall
have 15 pence (trente told) per day, and share the glory of serving
the Emperor."—" No," replied the soldiers, " we are contented
with what the King gives us, and we will be faithful to him."
—This answer did not, however, disconcert the officers; they
pushed over a boat, in which they put a purse containing money
—the soldiers pushed back the boat with the purse, anti came
and told their comrades of the proposition which had been
made to them., Their conduct was unanimously approved of, •

and will dotibdess be rewarded. They belonged to the sth com-
pany of the 9th light corps.

BucitaitEsT, illArten 1.---A ,private individual, who is now
here, and who has had more opportnnities than any body'
else to he acquainted with, and to appreciate the real situation
of Moldavia and Wallachia, as well as of surrounding pro-
vinces, is now engaged in putting the last hand to his Notes
on the events that have taken place within the last four years,
of which he has been partly an eye-witness, and whit iri of
the most importance, a disinterested witness. This work,
which will soon be put into the Press in Germany, will throw
an extraordinary light on the affairs of this country, and it
will certainly be found piquant, since the author, .who has no
interest in offending oisparing any person, will make no scruple
of unmasking those catnelions of all parties, who have acted,
and who -still endeavour to act parts, for which they have no
other qualifications than unbounded cupidity, ambition, and
above all, arrogance.

forms the 16th Military Division, there is a great number of
Officers on half-pay, who, while they are in the receipt of it,
await the time when they may be employed in active service.
These Officers have chosen the places where they desire to fix
their abode, and cannot quit •the department without permis-
sion. Yet vie are informed that several of them have succes-
sively disappeared. It is supposed they have found means to
embark for England, and thence without doubt have proceeded
to Spain, which has given occasion to stricter measures of
surveillance.

PORTUGAL.
4Frorn the French Papers.)

The news from Portugal is very satisfactory.
The Municipality of the city of Oporto has
published, under the date of the Bth inst. the
following intelligence _ _

" The Constitutional Municipality announces to its fellow.
citizens, that the cause of liberty, of reason, and ofjtistice,
triumphs over the criminal designs of their enemies. The re-
giment of infantry, which was at Villa Real, has repented of
tite guUty resolution it adopted on the nth of the preceding
month, and has refused to defend despotism. The greatest
discontent prevails among the miserable individuals whom the
Conte d'Amarante had succeeded in seducing. On the news
of the approach of our advanced posts they fled precipitately.
Our troops contract daily the circle of sedition, and in a short
time tranquillity will be perfectly re-established in the whole
kingdom, where the Constitution which we have sworn to up.
hold shall reign with greater glory than ever.
" According to intelligence from the banks of the Douro,
dated the 4th instant, we learn, that at three o'clock in the
morning the head-quarters of the factious were at Reogoa. They
are composed of 'the COunt d'Amaranthe of Gaspar 'Teixeira,
Antonio de Silveira, Martinho,Corren, and'Don Miguel Vescon-
cellos. Two hours afterwards, the army of the insurgents,
consisting of a battalion of infantry of the 12th, of a squadron
of cavalry of the 9th, and of some bands of peasants, defiled
by the road of Lobrigos. 'They expected, no doubt, to find no
obstacle in passing the Douro ; but when the Count d'Ama-
ratite wished to pass with his cavalry,• he was received with a
sharp fire of musketry, which forced him to retire. Two hours
afterwards he attempted to cross the river with the battalion of
the I.2th whom he placed in four boats, three which were
perforated; with balls, and stuck on a sand bank in the middle
of the'river. The factious demanded quarter, which was granted
them by the Constitutionalists, who saved the -lives of many
that were on the point of drowning. During the time the bat.
Wiens of the 7th and the tith, as welt as the regiments of mi-
lids, formed in battalions on the banks of the river, to the cry
of Live the Constitution I' The ardour of the Constitutional
troops and the dismay 'of the factious decided the victory in fa.
your of the former. The Count sent a flag of truce to demand
that the firing should cease; they replied that they would stop,
but only to begin again ; immediately it became necessary to
do so, as the Constitutional troops were determined net to stiffly
the territory -of their King to be violated by rebels who wished
to make him absolute against hie inclination.
" The garrison of Lamego then retired singing, during its
march, a Constitutional hymn."

The Supplement. of the Borbaleta, Oporto
Paper of the 10th inst., contains the following
particulars relative to Amarante's attempted coun-
ter-revolution:--

" Captain George, of the Oporto Police Guards, has just ar-
rived front Villa Real, which place he left at ten yesterday
morning, and he brings advices that the rebel troops fled in dis-
. order towards Villa Pouca d'Aguiar, in the night of the Bth,
leaving their baggage with a guard, .which immediately surren-
dered. Thera, information was obtained of the discontent that
prevailed among the officers and soldiery, who, in their retreat,
declared they were surrounded and lost, swearing vengeance
against Arnarante, who had deceived them. The towns, where
the Rebels had been, experienced the greatest insults and hard-
ships • owing to the robberies they had committed. General
Itegii writes, that the Colonel of --the lith Regiment of .Cavalry
hadjoined,the column from. Cave; ,and that the remainder of
the Officers will soon do the same. The, Commander-in-Chief
this day marches from Villa Real on Villa Pouca d'Aguiar, in
pursuit of the rebels, having previously sent forwards the fol-
lowing Proclamation :
" Inhabitants of the province of ,Tras Os Monti% The di.
vision under my command is about to enter your towns; this
the imperious law of the preservation of order and public tran-
ituillity requires; these are also the.commands of our Constitu-
tional fling, given in his own:name as well as that of the whole
Portuguese nation. The Constitutional troops are not going to
deiolate the towns, after the manner of Vandals and enemies,
they merely go to deliver the inhabitants from the snares laid
for them by a perfidious man, and restore to the bosom of the
nation some of its deluded children. Be tranquil, for the most
strict discipline guides the conduct of the soldiers
.under my
command ; receive them as your brothers and protectors : with
sentiments of this kind it is that they tread your territory. Do
not allow what was merely a seductive delusion to be converted
into the horrid crime of anarchy ; do not sow the seeds of civil
discord among you—all resistance is in vain. They told you
untruly, who assured you that the whole nation, and much less
its brave army, were united to the projects of the perjured
Count de Amarante ; rely on my 'Word...your province alone has
been deceived ; some of your troops have been seduced ; but
all the rest of the kingdom, on knowing that
.the Government
of our Constitutional • King and the civil liberty of the nation
began to he attacked; voluntarily, and with the greatest entliti,
• siasm, renewed their oath to die in defence of our sacred Con-
stitution.
• Minho, Beira, Estremadura, Alemtejo, and Al-
garves—all are tranquil, and Lisbon and Oporto exhibit testi- I
monies 'of an inexplicable enthusiasm for the sacred cause of
liberty.
" You yourselves have been made sensible of these truths, in
the decided opposition Count de Auiarante experienced in his
attempt to cross the Douro, In which he did not succeed. The
same will he meet with every' where else ; salters', strong columns.

are marching to disperse those who accompany him—you will
soon see the death or shameful flightof his chiefs. Wait quietly'
till then, and without taking any part in his criminal projects,
reflect that your fate must be that of the whole nation, and
that people who allow themselves to be deceived deserve the
pity and clemency of the Government, when by ,inanimous
repentance, they make their own blame fall orethe authors
of their error. Do not therefore quit yoetr dwellings, con-
tinue your labours, and attend to your families, and you will
soon see that the haracter the enemies of the ood cause seek
to attribute to us is diametrically opposed to the sentiments of
friendship we devote to you, which alone can be changed, if
you shouldventure to brave the valour of the troops under my
command, &c.. -

' - (signed) LUIZ DO REGO DARRETO."
iThis Paper also inserts a Proclamation of Antonio da Sil-
veira, uncle of Amarante,-one of those who first raised the Re-
volution in Oporto, and afterwards Vice-President of the Pro-
visional Government of Lisbon, which proves that he was im-
plicated in the counter-revolutionary plot. This man, owing
to his intrigues and wishes-to subvert The stew order of things
which he at first pronioted, not from patriotic, but rather per-
sonal motives, had been banished from the capital; and this is
the mode he has taken to avenge himself.]
