structions according to their sinister views. By some it is
stated they are going to Lisbon to take on board, with other
steamers lying there, the whole of the foreign troops which
were in pay of Don Pedro, and convey them to the north of
Spain, where they are to enter the service of the Queen of
Spain. We have known for some time past that Pedro wishes
to get rid of them, and this is certainly a fine opportunity for

every assistance, as he thought it a nat►onal concern.
