SBON, MAY 10.

I am happy to have it in my power to say that Coimbra
was entered on the Bth, at nine in the morning, by the
Duke of Terceira, and that the garrison of Figueiras,
about 550 strong, had left it at the dawn of day also on the
Bth. The inhabitants declared for the Queen's govern-
ment, and Admiral Napier landed at nine o'clock, a.m.
From a letter which I have seen, dated yesterday morn-
ing, he was about to march then also on Coimbra. There
is very little doubt that the 550 Miguelites will have fallen
into the hands of the gallant Duke. W 6 have not, up to
this moment, any particulars as to the number of deserters
who have joined the constitutionalists at both places, but I
dare say we shall get them to-morrow. We also' know
that the Viscount of Villa Garcia has come over, as well
as Brigadier-General Manuel Gaetano and ColonelCuedes.
Also, in a slight engagement near Marvao, the enemy lost
eleven prisoners. You will also observe the number
of cavalry and infantry volunteers, which are forming in
every town and village which .Were formerly occupied by
the usurper.
The church property which was put up for public sale
this morning at the Treasury was bid for with spirit, and
realized from 10 to 20 per cent. above the valuation inserted
previously in the Government journals.
A very melancholy event took place the other day on
board his Majesty's ship liingdove. A sailor was to be
flogged for getting drunk, but as he made great resistance,
he was put in irons, and in this state was brought on deck,
when about to receive his punishment. On being ordered
to strip, he laid hold of a knife, which he had concealed
about his person, and killed himself by plunging it into
his heart.

The Don Pedro frigate, Eliza corvette, and Villa Flor
brig, are this moment arrived from Figueiras ; and previous
to the taking of this place, I am sorry to say that, " while
in-shore sounding the night previous, Lieutenant Cullis,
of the Eliza corvette, and six men were drowned, by the
boat upsetting. This was a most meritorious and gallant
officer, and has left, I am told, a young widow and two
children to lament his loss. He was the very first who, at
the engagement off Cape St. Vincent, boarded the 111i-
guelite ship Reinlia."

OPORTO, MAY 11.

The Duke of Terceira, in his triumphal march through
the country, entered Vizeu on the 2d instant, the enemy
having retired at his approach. The pursuit was con-
tinued through Tondella to Coimbra, and the liberating
division entered the latter city on the Bth instant, amidst,
it is asserted, the wildest demonstra ions of joy on the part
of the inhabitants. A good many officers, and about 200
privates (deserters), had already presented themselves tothe
ever-fortunate Villa Flor, and 150 more were found in the
hospitals. The enemy retired in disorder and confusion
upon the road to Santarem, where their scattered and dis-
pirited remains may probably be enabled to unite them-
selves to the main Miguelite force.

The very same day on which the Duke of Terceira en-
tered Coimbra Admiral Napier effected an undisputed land-
ing at Figueiras, and has since opened a communication
with Colonel Vasconcellos, the commandant of the Queen's
forces at Leyria.
The whole of the troops which remained in Oporto were
marched out under the command of the Baron do Pico de
Celeiro, by the road through Albergaria to Coimbra, and
by this time will have effected a junction with the division
in the latter city. The Queen's government has been pro-
claimed at Aveiro, and at all places along the coast. It is
just reported that the Aliguelite General Joze Cardozo has
presented himself at Coimbra, but this requires confirma-
tion.

The Spanish force under General Rodil moves on appa-
rently in co-operation with that of the Duke of Terceira,
and, no doubt, desires to lend its active aid.

The remains of the royalist volunteers and guerillas of
Braganza, Mirandella, and Chaves, having threatened to
conglomerate and become troublesome to the isolated and
newly-constituted civil authorities of those districts, a
small Spanish force was marched across the frontier into
each of the above-named towns to their support, on the
ground that the insurgents were Carlist rebels.
