PORTUGAL.

(From the Times Correspondent.)
Llssow, Nov 30.—N0 event of any moment has oc•
curred during this week, and attention has been wholly
engrossed by the sudden departure of Colonel Hare to Don
Miguel's head-quarters (as was said), which mission was
expected to be attended with some success, as the Spanish
Commissioner, B iron de Rumford, had already (in conse-
quence of the projected mediation of the Court of Madrid)
returned to Santarem, which he bad left with M. Cor-
dova; but I am sorry to say that up to this date Colonel
Hare has not quitted Cartaxo, and front all I could learn
is not likely to go beyond, as I am informed (on good
authority) that Don Miguel will receive with great indif-
ference any overture of peace which carries within itself
his departure from Portugal, particularly if it should not
be made a preliminary that Iris brother Dim Pedro should
also quit this country, to which latter condition it will
require a clever diplomatist to get the Emperor to consent,
—nothing, I am convinced, but a great reverse of arms,
which I hope will not take place, or foreign armed inter-
vention, will persuade the Emperor to give tip the Regency
before the Queen comes of age; and besides this obstacle,
1 have every reason to believe that the Minister for Foreign
Affairs is not sincere in the peaceable professions he is
daily making to Lord William Russel!, and that they are
only made in the hope that Don Miguel will refuse, and
then draw the blame on him.

On the 26th his Imperial Majesty left for Cartaxo, but
before starting had the kindness to present the Duke of
Terceira with a golden star (placar).
On the 28th his Majesty returned from the army, highly
satisfied with the brilliant state the troops were in, as well
as with the reports of the disorder and want that reign in
the enemy's camp.
The desertions from Don Miguel continue on an in-
creased scale, and some prisoners are made on the different
points where cur troops are.
Reports of a change in the Administration are still pro-
pagated, but with no more foundation than before.
The letter of the Conde da Taipa has certainly had a
contrary effect to what he expected, as it has mat,rially
strengthened the political existence of the present Minis-
ters, who did not fear to proclaim a censorship, in spite
of the constitution, destroying thus the liberty of the press,
one of the mo't viral instituti.rns of a free country.
From Spun no further news; Don Carlos could not enter
Braganza, and I have reason to believe that he intends em-
barking off the coast of Portugal for Whoa on the 8d of
December.

DECEMBER 3.—On the Ist the Confiance steamer
arrived, after a heavy and dangerous passage. The Cap—
tain put in at Vigo, where it was reported that two ships
of war are to be sent to cruise on the Miguelite coast, to
intercept Don Carlos, in case he should attempt to embark.
Lord William Russell paid his compliments to his Ma-
jesty on the evening of the 2d. His Lordship is making
preparations for his departure, as he expects his successor
at the end of this month.

From Colonel Hare we hear nothing further ; he is still
at Cartaxo.

The succtesful events of the Cape de Verd Nand* has
induced Government to fit nut an expedition for Madeira,
soon to rail, and from which the hest hopes are entertained.

(From the Lisbon Papers.)
LISBON, Nov. 25.—The following official communica-
tions have been received by the Minister of the Interior
today, 25th November :—..
The Juiz da Fora of Alcobaca write., on the 23d, that
the town and district enjoyed perfect tranquillity, and the
inhabitants constantly showed their fidelity and enthusiasm
in the Constitutional elute.
The Corregidor of the Camarca of Rioa Fijo writes,
on the 24th, to the same effect, and adds, that be had
learned from some prisoners taken from the rebels that
they were discontented and discouraged in consequence of
the many privations which they suffered, and that they
were so fearful, that whenever they observed any motion
in the liberating army they immediately loaded their bag-
gage, in order to carry it to a place of safety.
The Corregidor of Alemquer gives, on the 24th, a very
satisfactory account of the tranquillity of his district.

their positions.
The Juiz da Fora of Aldea Gallega writes on the 24th

whole of his district, with the most entire obedience to
the legitimate Government of the Queen; that the rebels
in that quarter had not made any, important movement;
that those who passed from the nosh remained between
Salvatierra and Almeirim, where the Infante Don Miguel
often passes the night, almost always disguised; that they
are in great want of flour; that 60 cavalry soldiers had
arrived at Vendas-Nov is, who said they came from Alca-
cer, and that they did not know their destination ; that
the militia of the district which garrisoned Montemor

NOVEMBER 27.—The Minister of War has appointed

of the Duke of Braganza at the army in good health.
We have to communicate the happy intelligence that
the Legitimate Government of her Most Faithful Mijesty
Donna Maria, and of the Constitutional charter has been
proclaimed with the greatest enthusiasm in the Cape de
Verd Islands, the inhabitants of which, during the whole
time of the usurpation, have always manifested the great-
est horror of the tyrannical government of the tyrant of
Portugal.
NOVEMBER 29.—The Corregidor of Setubal writes on.
the 26th, that tranquillity still prevailed in that town,
and that the additional works were continued, and that
it was supposed by military persons that they would he
impregnable if they were furnished with rather more artil-
lery ; the 21st regiment arrived there on Saturday.

The Jtfzes ea Fora of Aldea GaPetra, Santarem
(writing from C trtaxo), of Obidos, Riba njo, and Villa
Franca, give equally favourable account•.
Nov. 30.—Among the persons to whom his Majesty
gave audience was the Consul-General of Brazil.
A Captain and a Lieutenant of the Royalists, twenty
soldiers of the militia, and nine of the line, one of them
with his horse and arms, deserted from the enemy.

vember six soldiers, belonging to different corps of the
enemy, came to the head quarters at Seiceira.
On the same day our cavalry went to the Villa da Ga•
legs, and took prisoners a Major, a Captain, three En-
signs, and 36 privates.
Oa the Isr, seventeen deserters from the enemy, twelve
of whom were horsemen, with their bones and arms,
came to the head-quarters; one of them came from
peimbra.

On Saturday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the pre-
fect of the province of Estremadura had, at the office of
the Minister of Justice, a conference with all the Minis-
ters, at which it is supposed that matters of great im-
portance were discussed. _

Drc. 2.—To•day being the anniversary of the birth-
day of his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro IL. Emperor of
Brazil, their Majesties received the congratulations of the
Ministers of State, and numerous persona of distinction.

The Chronica contains a decree of the Duke of Bra-
gauss, Regent of the kingdom in the name of the Queen,
and acting as her father and guardian to regulate her
Royal Howell()Id.

VILLA FRANCA, Dac. I.—The rebels have laid bridges
over the Tagil', which seems to indicate an intention of
passing the river to Alem•ejo. In Alcobaca we have
phove 1,000 men in arms ; the rebels do not venture a
Deep beyond Leyria, where, we learn from good autho
rity, they have hardly 700 men, and only 30 horse; the
remainder are militia and guerillas. At Coimbra there are
only a few militiamen, badly c'othed and without shoes.
SETUBAL, Dac. I.—The rebels at Alcacer do not talk
of coming hither ; they know of our fortifications, and
are afraid of them. They are, however, placing cannon
and digging trenches in the streets of Alcacer, which
show, an intention of maintaining their position. The
rebel force at Vendas Novas has made no movement, and
it is even said that Brigadier Lemod, who was there three
days ago, is gone to Elvas. We learn that at the moment
of his departure be said that he was going to fetch artillery
and some more troops to attack this place on the day of
Noss Senhora da Conceicao, and then to march against
Lisbon. Such is the folly of the soldiers that many of
them are convinced that this is possible, and anticipate
the pleasures of victory. Our works proceed with the
greatest diligence. Same artillery and above 20 students
have arrived.—Lisbon Chromica to the 3d of DecAnber
inclusive.

THE CASTLE OF ROCHESTER.—TIIIS an-
ient ruin is surrounded by land now about to be rendered
'vailable for builling purposes. It, as well as the ca.tle,
