DEPARTMENT OF ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS
AND JUSTICE.-MAY 21.

"Sir,—The King, our Soveteign, having been informed
that the Revolutionists still endeavour, by means of hired
agents, to delude and seduce some persons to embark and
go to the city of Oporto; and his Majesty, pitying those
who might suffer themselves to he so seduced, though he
is persuaded that they will be hut few, yet, as besides cJrn •
mitting an enormous crime against their country, they would
go and bring dawn on themselves the unhappy and terrible
end which wig indubitably be the fate of the rebels; it is
his will that your Excellency shall employ all the means
that may immediately depend on you, and older the cri-
minal magistrates of the several quarters of Lisbon to
employ likewise all their efforts that no victims may he
seduced in such a manner, and, in particular, direct your
attention to the discovery of the seducers, that they may
be duly punished, and your Excellency will promise from
the funds of this office, a reward of 30 pieces of 4,800
reis each, which shall be immediately paid to any person
who shall give information to your Excellency of any such
attempts at seduction, furnishing means by which the
same may be proved.

"God preserve your Excellency.

(Not.; OFFICIAL PART, MAY 25.)
COIMBRA, MAY 20.—0 n the 18th six Frenchmen
and nine Portuguese natives of the island came in here,
having deststed from the rebels at Oporto.
Extract of a letter front the battery of Tancos, May
17 :—Yf,stet day, the 16th, the unhappy anniversary of
the rebellion at Oporto, in 1828, orders were given for

he whole lin, of our i.tteries, ou the north and south of

the Douro, to open their five on the rebels shut up in
that city, which was done with such vigour that it
seemed as if the day of judg►nent was come for that city,
the Fez, and the vicinity; everywhere the greatest courage
was displayed, but particularly in the batteries of 131 r.
baceno, Tauco3, Don Miguel 1., Castello de Gaya, Ist,
2d, and 3d, by which an immense number of
houses were destroyed, and people killed. That of
the Castello de Gaya produced the greatest effect, in
consequence of its incomparable position wi►h the large
gun, which sunk two vessels belonging to the rebels ; and
two boats, full of rebels, who were passing to the Serra
were sunk. La.tly, having levelled a great number
of houses, it silenced all the enemy's batteries, within its
range, viz., those of the Serra, Torre de Marco, Victoria,
and two in the Vertudes. The latter were not only
silenced, hut some of the officers and soldiers killed, and

the colours shot away.
This battery alone fired, before noon, 215 shot, among
which were 102 bombs, while the inhabitants of the city
were in consternati n, and abandoned their houses to die
in the streets.—Correio do Porto.
MAY 21.—A letter from Rio Tinto of the 19th, says,

" The deserters who have come in agree with respect to
the great &Image and loss of life in Oporto, caused by the
fire of our artillery on the 1611. The new battery of the
Costello de Gaya, does great injury to the city, acd com-
mands the Douro. On the 16th, when the two yachts
weed sunk, a small armed schooner was also sunk. Douro
again afflicted the city at the beginning of the month,and with
much greater violence, carrying off 200 prisoners daily
after the 10th they began to abate ; the troops and the
rebels had also suffered, and in some corps the number of
the victims was considerable.— Correio do Porto.
ComBRA, MAY 22.—A letter from Villa Nova de
Gaya, of 19th inst., says, " Misery and all kinds of dis-
asters continue in Oporto, and our artillery does not cease
to destroy buildings and kill people in the city. The
batteries of the bir, &c., do their duty, and it is only by
night that some boats can escape, covered by the fire of
the Foz, for by day absolutely nothing can escape.— Cor-
reio do Porto.

VILLA NOVA DE GAYA, MAY 21.—Yesterday five sol-
diers of the rebels and two peasants came from the Foz,
who s,ll that the p. ople in the city were becoming every
day more exasperated, being no longer able to endure such
robb. ries, misfortunes, and calamities.

AGOAS SANTOS, MAY 24.—A Frenchman and two
Germans arrived here yesterday, and to-day a Portuguese
and two Frenchmen, deserted from Oporto. A letter
from the battery of Don Miguel 1., of the 21st of May,
says:—" Our batteries c mtinue their fire, and those of
the Castello de Gaya do touch damage in the city. On
the 19th, the balls of the battery sunk two fishing beats,
dismasted another, and one bomb fell into our hands. The
fire from intrenchments of the Cabadello have killed and
wounded many persons. The countrymen who came from
La Servia say that one boat, which fell into the quarters
of the rebels there in the night of the 17th, killed twelve
men.'—Correio do Porto,

S. MAMEDE DA INFESTA, MAY 27.—T0-day two
seamen from the rebel squadron deserted to us, who say
that it is in a most lamentable condition, and that
the greatest discontent prevails ; that for nine months
the men had not received any p irt of their pay ; that the
provisions were of the worst quality ; that they had no
wine or brandy ; that they received only a quarter of a
loaf daily, and no more; that every night many men de-
serted from the ships of war to the merchantmen ; and
that, though it is certain that some provisions are landed

every night, yet the quantity was not great, and that there
were continually boats upset, &c.
LISBON, MARCH 31.—The Portuguese yacht, Triumfo,
from the island of Madeira, arrived in this port to-day.
The commanders say that the island was perfectly tranquil,
and the inhabitants more and more confirmed in their un-
alterable fidelity to the King, our Sovereign ; the sanatory
state of the island was excellent.

The official accounts from Braga of the 28th ult. an-
nounce that the King and the Infantas continued to enjoy
perfect health,—Lisbon Gazettes, to June 1 inclusi ye.
