SPAIN.

MADRID, AucUST 1.-We are assured that negotiations
are on foot respecting the recognition of -everal of the late
Spanish colonies in America. Our Cabinet still puts for
w srd, as the sine qua non, the proportionate division of
the debt, which is to be settled on conditions similar to
those now in contemplation between Holl,nil and Belgium.
Our last intelligence from Portugal mentions that the
Infant Don Carlos still continued to reside in Coimbra,
and that his suite had remained at Ramallas. The Tues
day's mail did ❑ot arrive, having been, no doubt, stopped
at Badaj a.
_ . _

The Micuelite General Viscount de Alolellos, who had
repaired to B,ja, took refuge, it is said, in Badajoz, after
being deserted by his troops.

Nothing is y,.t known respecting the fate of Don
Miguel and his army, but it is generally believed that the
Government of Ferdinand has determined on not receiving
that Prince in Spain.
On the 23 , ult., M. de Cordova, our Ambassador at
Lisbon, visited all the ports of that capital, encouraging
the troops to resist, and promising them the assistance of a
Spanish army then on its march to cooperate with them.
His exhortations, however, were attended with no sue
cess. As soon as M. de Palmella had entered Lisbon he
sent for the Ambassador, upbraided him for his conduct,
and ordered him to depart.

Don Pedro is said to h ive granted a general amnesty,
excepting only the Minister of Police. It is thought Ow
one of his first acts will be the suppression of convents
throughout Portugal.
Private 1,-tters state that some of Danna Maria's troops
having come to take passessioo of the town of Elvas in the
name of D pond 111 ia, considerable alarm was created in
Radajoz, the people not knowing what might he the in-
tentions of the troops. Tranquillity, however, was soon
restored.

For several days past the Illini3ters have held frequent
Councils, which some time were prolonged to a vet), late
hour in the night. M. Zea ins been denied to every
body, but partieu:arly to the F ench Ambassador, who
waited upon him every day since Friday last without being
received.

The Royal festivities for the ceremony of the Jura have
cost 17 millions of reals, the greatest part of which has
berm charg d to the account of the city. The latter is
unable to acquit its proportion of the debt, at least for the
present, if we are to judge by the laconic bill of no se pays
which is now posted on the door of the cashier's office.
It is said that M. de Bourinont, alter resigning his com-
mand, had embarked fur Cadiz, whence he was sent to
perform quarantine at Mahon.
It has been calculated that, according to the articles
published in the Madrid Gazette, respecting the affilis
of Poitugal, 3,2.,117 men of Don Pedro's army had been
killed, made prisoners, or deserted to since
his arrival in tiparnl:

The Madrid Gazette of the Ist states that M, de Ra-
n.val and M Aildongton had been admitted to a ptivate
audience by the King, and that the two Ambassadors
handed his M.ij-sty letters from their respective S..veteigns.
Manitin, Anc. I.—The Madrid Gazette of to-day
announa s the capture of List> tn. This is the first official
information that we have received on the subject ; and as
it may not be uninteresting to you to know the mariner in
which that occurrence is related, I give you a translation
of the following article from that paper Lisbon,
July 27.—0 n the morning of the 23.1 the troops sent
trout the city against Count Villa Flor were defeated on
the opposite bank of the Taro., at Casilis, near Almad
and the Cominander-General, Telles Jordao, was killed.
In consequence of this loss, the garrison of Lsbon eva
coated the town on the same night, and baited a fet%
miles to the north of it. Don Aliguel, with his Ministers,
and the Duke tifC daval, are believed to have gone wit',
the troops. On the 24th Count Villa Floe commenceo
passing the river, at the sauce nine that Admira. Napier
appeared at the bar of the Tagus. The Government of
Donna Maria has been proclaimed. The people are per
tectly trinquif. Our communications with Spain have
ueen inters opted for some days, tin account of the turbo
leoce and agitation prevailing in the country, which is
occupied alternately by guerillas of both parties." The
last obs• rvation has very 'ouch tire air of having beet.
added to M tdrid, and o a, perh fps intended as an runs&
fur the lateness of the if,l" rotation.

It is generally litlievtd aat we shall now have Don
figuel lor a guest. Tie manner of conduct to be ol),erveo
to.v,irds him by this Govermitent has ken the subject 0:
a long discussion in t' e Cone I.

Honoured Duke of Pa!meth, of the Council of State,
Peer of the Kingdom, friand—l, the Duke of Bragariza,
Regent. in the name of the Queen, send you much greet-
' ink, as one whom I greatly love and value. Judging it
fitting for the interests of the cause of her Faithful Ma-
jesty the Senhora Donna Maria Segundo, my august
daughter, Queen of Portugal, and for the interests of the
Portuguese nation, that an expeditionary division of the
liheratii, army should he sent to those points of the
kingdom ,viiich may appear most proper, for the pnrpree
of ,wine that support to the pe•ple which they sa 'mica
desire, in order that they may be enabled to display the
fidelity which force, and. the fi-ar of despotism, has
long compelled them to concentrate within thei 7
breasts; having nominated for the coin cornier of the said
expedition the Duke of Terceira, Peer of the kingdorb,
Lieutenant• General of the army; and having res:lveil to
choose a person whose fidelity and profound knowledgr, in
the management of affairs merits that I should deposit in
him my confidence, and part of the authority which I
exercise in the name of the Queen, inasmuch as the same
may he indispensable for provisionally regulaiing the poll-
tied, judicial, and economical affairs in the territorioa
whose inhabitants shad successively proclaim their loyal
sentiments in favour of the Qu-en, and of the instituti.ms
which were granted by me, I have thought prop,li to
appoint you provisional civil Governor, confident that yen
will diseharee that important office with he same fidelity
and ability as you have ex,euted ocher commissions of
high importance. You being for this purpose directed
by instructions which shall be delivered io you herewith,
sivied by the Ministers and Secretaries of State of all the
departments.
"In the Palace, Odorto, June 13. " PEDRO.
(Countersigned by the Ministers.)
" To the honoured Duke of Palmell., &v."
Since the occupation of Lisbon, the Duke of Palmel'a
appeals to have acted very extensively on this commission.
On the 9.6 th he signed a number of decrees, instituting
Boards for the management of the business of t':e Govern-
ment.

A paper, entitled Espertezas de Tolos, reproaches tl a
priests for their hostility to the constitution. The advo-
cates of a juste milieu are severely dealt with ; they ;Ira
represented as either Aliguelites in disguise, or as place-
hunters, who always t, ink it prudent to keep well with
both sides. The author cotnpares them to the l'rem
Jesuit of the age of Henry IV., who always carried ahot:t
him two sermons opposed to each other,and who accounted
for this singularity by saying he intended to preach the -
ona if the League succeeded, but thought it prudent to have
the other ready in case Henry should prove victorious.
The followitu are extracts of letters received yesterday
by the Lisbon mail :

OPORTO, JULY 27.

" The attack made on this place on the 25th by the
Miguelite troops was the most serious of any that have yet
occurred. It appe ors that news of the capture of Lisb.:n
reached headquarters on the 24th, and that the fury
and desperation which it raised among the commanders
was the chief cause of the attack, which com-
menced on the 25th, at 6 P by a smart firing from
the battery on our left near Lordello, which was in a very
few seconds followed up by all their batteries to the
left on both sides of the river. These were replied to by
the whole of our batteries which could be ,r upon them, sit
that in about half an hour no less than 120 pieces of ar-
tillery were in action. It was apparent that the first. ob-
ject of their attack was Lordello, Sr. John's and Van-
zeller's Ct'l ma, the Mirante. In fact, ab .ut 7 o'clock
lame cAumns were seen coming furiously on and rn 'king a
terrific attack on the Mirante. Tney brought their ca-
valry close under the redoubt, and attempted even to leap
their bursts into it, but after a few minutes they were re-
pulsed with great slaughter. They then brought up
fresh troop and made a second attack, when ihey were
again driven back with great loss. They afterwards
made, as I am informed, a third and fourth attack. and
were on the point of making a fifth trial, with 800 fresh
men, when two well directed Congreve rockets front
our line dispersed tt m, so that about 10 o'clock the
firing gradually ceases in that quarter, Wier,' the erstray
had not less than 9 000 men, while I de not think
our force exceeded 2 000. Seeing thembklves foiled
at a point where they made sure of success, they
next commenced a furious attack on our right, whore
they had above b,OOO men, and here a most gallant act
was performed by General Salifanha, who, seeing the
French and 6th Cacadores hard pressed, some cavalry
which were expected not having then come up front the
left, dashed in among the enemy with all his staff and
turned them. On this occasion he lost Don Fernando,
one of his aides•de-camp. Very soon alter some of cur
Lancers came up, but the Miguelites no sooner saw thrirt
than they fled, and by half-past one o'clock the firing had
ceased in all qua, tern, after having continued more than
seven hours under the hottest sun I have felt this year.
It as a glorious day, and well and richly has the Portu-
guese army eirned the reputation of tieing as brave troops
as ever fought. The English, the French, and the Ger-
mins are no doutit equal, but they do not exceed them.
The loss of the enemy has been immense, and ours, I f,r,
greater than canal be wished ; I should think from 300
to 400 killed and wounded. Colonel Cotter was killed
by a cannon shot, the same shot that took away the thigh
of his son •in-law. General Buurmont did not distinguish
himself certainly. His son was killed. Our own troops
are in an admirable state of discipline, and have been so
constantly successful that they literally go to it as if it was
a pastime. The great difficulty is to keep them hack.
On the 25th, an officer actually marched up his company
to a battalion of 1100 men. The Miguelites, too, as Sal-
danha himself said, fought extreme:y well. On the Very
evening of the battle our troops had the grim& ition of
hearing that their brave comrades had entered Lisbon."

" LISBON, JULY 27.
" Every thing here is as quiet and orderly as if no re-
volution had taken place, with the exception only of a few
Vivas.' Many of the people who were notorious perse-
cutors of the Constitutionalists have hal their hous,e4
clewed of their furniture and burnt before their respective
houses. In doing this the armed populace have acted with
the greatest order; they never allowed a single article to
be taken away. Tee windows of Count de Bastes and
one or teo obnoxious characters were all destroyed. N,,t-
withstanding „II .h. soli muinerers were life-voted
at the general gaol delivery on the 24th, we have hear,:
of no robber ies, but some dozens of them have been replaced
in their old quarters. Nothing that has happened has
given more general satisfaction than the death of Telles
Jordao ; after be had been buriA on the bowl where
he met his death, the mob disinterred him, and he
was lucky who could get any part of his apparrl.
When the cells of the different prisoners were opened,
many of the unfixtussate prisoners had been removed
by the friendly hand of death some considerable time
before, and some others the books did not account
fie. Telles Lida° was, at St. Julian's, Governor, Gat ler,
and Deputy-Governor, as well as contractor for the mi-
serable pittance allowed the prisoners, and (although is
his servant's name), kept the only hotel allowed in that
fortress, where anything eatable or drinkable was to he
bone lit, all of which was miserably bad, and at from 100
o 200 or 300 per cent. more than the worth. Add to
.ehich. when any of the prisoners' friends sen. them mo-
m.), the same was to be peid into the hands of a treasurer
of Joidao's appointing. When the unfortunate prisoner
sent for a dinner or anything else, it was sent him, and
its a few Jaya sfter, word was sent him that all his money
lad been expended, and he bad no further credit. These
things are all matters of tact, and if any of the friends
aid supporters cf (I trust) the deposed tyrant ask for
drools it these facts, they shall be transmitted for puhiie .
ion. Many hundreds of persons have been commit ed to
prison and never were informed for what. The friends
iit those who dial, and wl:o claimed their bodies, nature ly
d, "what was my lather (or son as the case might be)
inpr!stined for ? pray what uas his crime?" They were
tt n answered ‘• None;" lie w,s imprisoned for preven-
ion. Yest. roily (the 26 h) news was brought from St.
(/Ifes that Vi-count Molellos was advancing on that town
ith a consioetable force, and afterw.rds ii.t nded to
earch on Alm ida (opposite Lisbon), assuring the-pttor
eluded wretches that the eariison of Lisbon would act
