CRITICAL SITUATION OF LISBON,

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
In our last we gave information from Lisbon to
the 13th of August, and from Oporto to the 14th ;
since then we have the arrivals of the African and
Hermes steamers, bringing the progress of events
down to the 21st from Lisbon, and the 234 from
Oporto; in this period we have two marked occur-
rences—The recognition of Donna Maria by this
country and France on the I.sth, and the business-
like sortie of Saldanha on the 18th from Oporto, on
the rear of the late besieging army. Don Pedro
had also summoned the Cortes but how they were
to be elected from the country in the command of
Miguel's troops is a difficult question to decide.
Our letters are not so violent against Don Pedro,
and we therefore hope he is acting more conform-
ably to Palmella's advice, though it is more than
strange that that Nobleman has no official appoint-
ment; it is, however, said he is to be President of
the Council. By our Lisbon letter, it will be ob-
served the Miguelires were advanced to Santarem ;
it does not say in what force, but that town is only
47 miles from Lisbon, and is on the Tagus.
Two important subjects will occupy the attention
of the Cortes,viz., the new Regency and the Queen's
marriage. The latter is a most knotty point. It
is believed that the wine destroyed by the Migulites
does not exceed 2,000 pipes ; and from what we
can collect Miguel's troops do not exceed 18,000
men, but they are or can be all concentrated. The
Hermes brought a report of the death of the death

of the death of the king of Spain, from Coimbra.
LisßoN, AUG. 19 —(Private Correspondence).
—The telegraph of Monte Gordo, on this side of
Santarem, announces that yesterday afternoon the
authorities of Santarem left that place, and that the
rebels had entered Chdmusca with some cavalry,
and it was expected they would enter Santarem
that night. S;gned by the Juiz de Fula, principal
magistrate.

The telegraph of Don Vista, close to Santarem,

announces that a countryman who arrived there
fiorn Santarem stated that the telegraph at Santarem
had been destroyed, and that the Guerillas were in
Torres Novas, Golegao, and Chamusca, arid that
he saw a number of troops ente. Santarem on that
day.

TUESDAY, AUG. 20, TEN O'CLOCK, A.M.--A cor-
vette and steamer, the Doridinba frigate and a brig
of war, have been sent up the river; the frigate can-
not, however, go more than three leagues above the
city ; the smaller vessels will get up thirty miles.
The guerrillas have entered Santarem and Cartaxo,
where they have plundered and murdered almost all
the Constitutionalists. A great number of fugitives
are arriving this morning from those towns and the
surrounding country.
-

AUG. ha;re only time to say the troops of
the line, about 3,000, have all marched from Lisbon
on Villa Franca, and the Duke of Terceira will join
the army to•morrow or next day. The Govern-
ment people seem to be quite at their ease on the
subject, but the inhabitant., particularly the British
residents, who have more or less committed them-
selves with the Pedroites, are not without appre-
hensions. The blockade of the Douro is over, arid
a soldier-like sortie from Oporto had driven the
Miguelites from their works, and some miles on the
Valonga read, taking many prisoners; but Lisbon is
in jeopardy certainly. It is said Mr. Hopper, the
Consul-General, has been re-called, his conduct here

having offended your Miguelite faction at home, and
your Government has been weak enough to listen
to the complaints against him.

HAMBURG PAPERS.

BERLIN, AUG. 24.—M. Bresson, the French
Ambassador, has returned from Dresden. M.
Ancellin, Minister of State, has arrived from Top-
li,z ; Prince Augustus, from the Rhine; arid Major-
Gen. Ross (of the Bri,ish service), from Hamburg.
AUG. 23.—At t•chweldt, arrangements are
making in the Castle for the reception of about fity
or sixty Russian civil and military persons of dis-
tinction, who are expected to arrive there overland
by the way of Konigsb:rg. Report says, that the
Emperor will arrive there under an incognito, ac-
companied by Count Nesselrode, and that uur So.
vereign, who was to set off from Toplitz yeverday,
will have an interview at Schweldt with his Impe-
rial son-in-law, who, it is said, also contemplates a
journey to Vienna.

WILNA, AUG. 12.—1 n the month of March, some
Polish fugitives, blind instruments of the revolu-
tionary Propaganda, made an attempt to penetrate
into Lithuania, to excite troubles there, and to re-
plunge the country into the anarchy which it had
but lately so happily escaped. One of them,
named Michael Wollowicz, collected about ten de-
serters, or vagabonds, infested the forests, at the
head of this band of robbers, and attacked the post
waggons. The local authorities soon discovered
them, and had no need of the armed force to check

their proceedings. The peasants themselves un-
dertook the task, headed by their landlords. In a

few days, the whole band, including Wollowicz,
were taken prisoners, and ►n the hands of the Go
vernment. Wollowicz defended himself, and with
his dagger wounded a man named Kolenda, who
was endeavouring to seize him. The criminals were
carried to Giodno, tired by a courtmartial, which,
after due investigation and proof of the facts, sen-
tenced them to the lcgal punishmr-nt. Wollowicz,
convicted of highway robbery, taken with arms in
his hands, and besides convicted of high treason,
was hanged, and his accomplices were punished as
their crimes deserved. In the course of the inves-
tigations, the vigilance of the authorities, seconded
by the good dispositions of the inhabitants, suc-
ceeded in discovering other emissaries of the Pro-
paganda. Three individuals, named Schimanski,
Piezakowski, and Ja'kewicz, were arrested at
Wilna, Bialystok, and Grodzio. An investigation
was made, and the first confessions of these indivi-
duals leave no doubt of their criminal purposes.
The clearest light is, however, thrown on the
views of these apostles of murder, by the papers
which were taken at the time of their arrest. Among
the most remarkable documents is a seditious pro-
clamation, in which they invited their countrymen
to join them, in order to overthrow the Govern-
ment, and declared that between five and six hun-
dred of their comrades had been sent into this pro-
vince, and into the interior of the empire, to excite
troubles ; that there were in every part of the em-
pire agents of all nations who bad similar objects,
namely—the overthrow of the existing Govern-
ments ; the assassination of the Princes, and the
highest public functionaries, &c. &c., at the same
time they promised that the liberating armies should
shortly appear on the Vistula. Lastly, they an-
nounced the speedy introduction of the Republican
Constitution into France, and the murder of the King.
In Germany they affirmed the whole nation was in
their favour, and that the revolution would soon spread
over all Europe. No less remarkable are the instruc-
tions with which the missionaries were provided re-
' specting the mode of forming barals,of regulating high-
way robbery, and employ the resources, which they
roust thus obtain,in increasing the number of their par-
tisans by all possible means of seduction and cor-
ruption. Among the indispensable articles with
which every emissary must be furnished, were a
dagger and a vial of poison. Such are the arms
which a revolutionary propaganda emply to obtain
for mankind the greatest degree of happiness. We
may, however, console ourselves with the conviction,
that it reprobate beings, from the very dregs of
society, bind themselves as the blind and wretched
instruments of an assassinating sect, the mass of the
nation—all honourable persons—reject with horror
such infamous projects, and abandon their authors
to public punishment.
