LIMN, DEC. 29.—His Imperial Majesty the Duke of
Braganza, guided by the pure sentiments of his paternal
heart, and listening to the supplications of 300 soldiers
made prisoners by the loyal troops, has thought fit, in the
name of the Queen, to pardon them. Yesterday afternoon
they took the oath of fidelity to the Queen and. the
Charter, and to•day, at ten in the morning, they appeared
in the Largo dos Necessidades, and drew up opposite the
windows of the Palace. His Imperial Majesty, accom.
panied by all his aidee.de-camp, came to the windows, and
Addressed them as follows :

" Soldiers—l cannot consent that you should be any longer
considered as prisoners. You have been deceived and forced
go fight against your lawful Queen, and against your own li-
berty by an infatuated party, whose chief is not ashamed to
ptteropt to support despotism against the liberty of the people.
tow, soldiers, that you are pardoned by me in the name of
the Queen—that you are received among free citizens—that
you are going shortly to join your ancient comrades, whose
valour and perseverance are worthy of the greatest praise, I
*latter myself that each of you, animated with true love of
the national independence, will maintain in the field of honour
the sacred oath which you have voluntarily taken to defend
the legitimacy of her Majesty Donna Maria 11., and the con-
stitutional charter of the monarchy."
At the close of the speech the soldiers, filed with the
greatest enthusiasm, broke out into exclamations of "Long
live her Most Faithful Majesty, the Constitutional Char-
ter, and their Imperial Majesties," and the innumerable
multitude that had collected to witness this agreeable
sight joined in the acclamations for the Queen, the
Charter, and the deliverance of the Portuguese nation.
His Imperial Majesty, with his natural affability, called
the soldiers into the hall of the Palace, and allowed them
the honour of kissing the august hands of her Most
Faithful Majesty and of her Imperial Majesty the Duchess
of Bragacza. During this time the soldiers, by their
expressions and gestures, showed their indignation against
the ill-disposed persons who had deluded them, and retiring
from the palace embraced the people, promising to shed
their blood in defence of the sacred cause to which they
Ind sworn.

3.—A telegraphic despatch does not announce
any important event in the army; and the despatches from
all the territorial authorities show that undisturbed tran-
quillity prevails in their districts ; but in the midst of
this apparently apathetic state, which may pethaps
shortly ligUlDe a very different character, our at-

tention is called to the important event of the surprise
and capture of Mirvao, on the 12th of December,- by the
Constitutional troops of her Most Faithful Majesty.
Marvao is a fortress, the citadel of which, inaccessible by
nature, requires but little assistance from art to make it
impregnable ; being abundantly furnished with all neces-
saries, defended by a brave garrison, and commanded by a
skilful officer, Brigadier Pinto, it is secure against all
danger. -

The rebel army. defended by the positions of Santarem
(which could hardly protect them for a few hours, did
not the august Liberator humanely set so high a value on
a single drop of blood), reckoned on Alemtejo to make its
retreat; this plan would now be dangerous to execute,
when there is a force at a place in that province whence
the rebel army might he constantly harassed, and this
circumstance is the more fatal, as it is probable, or rather
certain, that the inhabitants of the surrounding country
will avail themselves of this support to do their utmost to
free themselves from the barbarous oppression under which
they have so long groaned. We believe that this blow
will prove of very serious consequence to the usurpation,
whose end may be accelerated by it.
JAN. 11.—Accounts from Setubal of the 2d inst. say
the town was perfectly tranquil, and the works continue
to be strengthened ; the enemy had not approached the
place, the garrison of which bad been strengthened by the
.3d battalion of Oporto, which came from Almeida.
Accounts, the authenticity of which is indisputable, say
that a dreadful epidemic rages at Santarem, where more
than 90 persons were carried off by it en Christmas day.
