of cavalry have taken place on the ground before Vatizeller,
and some squadrons of Villavieiosa, though under the
enemy's fire, in an unfavourable territory, have proved
how much this regiment continues to deserve i•s ancient
reputation. Detachments of the regiments of Chaves and
Funandao, under the command of Larochejacqtielin. have
done wonders, and had taken Nova near to Pastelleiro,
defended by infantry. The cavalry in general has by its
good order, sang froid, re-olution, skill, and contempt of
every danger. brought to recollection the most glorious
days of the Portuguese power.
" In the 2d division, the commandant of the 211 brigade,
J J. Proenca, was killed. Colonel Baron de Feriet,
par•icularly distinguished himself, was wounded ; also
Lieutenant Burg trel.

"Colon.' Feriet praises much Captain B'rnnuillc.
Captain Graham slowed much bravery. Colonel T.
Duchatel, who attacked Lordello, has several wounds,
one of which is dangerous ; we hope nevertheless to save
him. This officer has displayed all the qualities of an
accomplished warrior. He knew no danger for himself,
and showed consummate talent and experience in his dim-
p,.sitions to maintain his positions with little effusion of
blood. Colonel T. Duchatel has added a new eclat to
his illustrious nirme. Don Sehastiao de Vilhena, a rik-
tinguished young officer, was kil'ed by a gun. shot in his
chest. My aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Ketsalrie, was on
the spot, and received him in his arms. Colon& Du-
chatel mentions Kelsalric's name with satisfaction.
" I rccommend to the King the officers commanders of
detachments of p;oneers, who were employed in every
column for the purpose of opening the roads. These
warri.rs have made the grea'est sacrifice a soldier can
offer, having always headed the columns unarmed ; and I
think it my duty to collect the names of those who have
distinguished themselves.

" The difficulties of the ground and narrowness of the
roads have prevented the use of field artillery; the artil-
lery of the forts has, however, shown a praiseworthy •kill
and activity. The commindant of the artillery of
Serralves uierits great praise for his well directed fire.
The conduct of the Commandant-General of Artillery.
Coelhos, is above all pra;se. This officer, though op-
pressed with disease, has hbour.d without ceasing to exe-
cute every order conn.cted with his dtry, and on the day
o the battle he caused himself to he conveyed in a carriage
close to the scene of action for the purpose of giving his
orders.

"I witnessed also the bravery of Major Monnier, who
never left me, and was very useful. This officer deserves
promotion, Ihat he may be enabled to show hi+ cap cities,
hi+ zeal, and his sang froid in their proper place.
" General Lernos has, by the skill and firmness with

which he conducted rvetyrhing. Justified the King's con-
fidence; he has proved that he will respond to that
confi tence in every employment he may he called on to fill.
" The name alone of M. le Count Laruchejacquelin
suffices to say what he has been in this cooflict. He
belongs to a family of heroes ; and saying that he was a
Litochjacquelin I can say no more.

" I am about to obtain a list of all those officers who
have distinguished th-mselves, and I shall do myself the
honour to submit them to your M ij sty in a second report

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

SPECIAL COMMISSION TO RECTIFY THE LATE

EXTRAORDINARY BLUNDER.

At ten o'clock the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex ushered
the Commissioners into Hicks's Hall, viz :—Mr. Justice James
Parke, the Recorder of London, Mr. Sergeant Arabin (all in
scarlet robes), Francis Const, Esq., and the senior Magistrates
of the Metropolitan Police-offices in the Middlesex district of
the Metropolis.

The Grand Jury having been sworn,
Mr. Justice PARKE informed them that they were met on an
extraordinary occasion. By reason of some extraordinary mis-
take, witnesses against prisoners in custody had not been
legally sworn, and hence great difficulty had arisen. Some
prisoners had been tried upon invalid bills, and acquitted—
they were for ever discharged from all responsibility.
Others had been tried and convicted, but the Judges who
heard the evidence thought that a short period of imprison-
ment would satisfy the ends of justice—such prisoners the
Judges had ventured to discharge.
There were others who had been tried and convicted (some
of capital offences), and those would have to undergo a second
ordeal, supposing that they (the Grand Jury) found a true bill.
There were again others who had not been tried at all, but
who expected their trial weeks ago. They had suffered a long
extension of imprisonment, but the grand inquest had no-
thing to do with that. His Lordship then referred to the
case of John White Kelly, and a person of the name of Clark,
against whom there were indictments laid. The jury would
look and see if any provocation had been offered to the accused
by the deceased, and if they thought there was, they would
make a presentment accordingly.

PERJURY.

Yesterday a true bill was returned by the Grand Jury against

Henry Rodolph Wigley, an attorney, for perjury, committed
by him in answer to a bill in Chancery, filed by O'Gorman
Mahon, to stay proceedings in an action respecting some bills
of exchange to a large amount.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The only arrival this morning of importance is a Mexican
mail by the Skylarl., sailed on the 15th June from Vera Cruz,
and confirms the accounts we gave some days since by a French
frigate, arrived at Brest, that they were again on the point of
another revolution.

The private letters of the 1-Ith June, from Vera Cruz, state
that Santa Anna was still in confinement, accused of wanting
to proclaim himself dictator. All the houses and shops were
closed and barracaded at Mexico, and the greatest alarm pre-
vailed ; but to add to this a greater calamity prevailed,—the
cholera and black vomit were making great ravages, on account
of which we understand that the Skylark had no communica-
tion with the shore.

It is stated that Santa Anna has escaped from prison.

As yet the Vera Cruz papers have not come to hand.
Accounts from Paris by the French mail this morning, state
as follows:—" We can assert that the Court of Spain does not
demand any other conditions to acknowledge Donna Maria as
Queen of Portugal, than that England and France will not
recognise any other successor to the throne of Spain than the
Princess called by the Anti-Salie law of 1530. A note has
been communicated to the above two Courts.

The general report which prevailed yesterday afternoon of
the arrival of Don Miguel at Cowes is not yet confirmed, al-
though Don Pedro's party attach credit to it, and suppose he
arrived in the bay, which we do not believe.
It is again positively asserted on 'Change that Don Miguel
has landed in this country, which we doubt. It originated in
the following cirf umstance :
Two unknown persons came down to Villa de Conde, and
were greatly surprised to hear that the Lord of the Isles steamer
had sailed. They immediately proceeded to Viana, and went
on board of her instantly. Although she was short of coals,
and was obliged to put into Corunna for a fresh supply, they
again proceeded to sea, and landed the two unknown persons
at Cowes. No other passengers were on board.
