taken at the capitulation of Almada w.-re up'vards
of 2,000, and most of them are now lo Iged in tt,e Con-
vent of St. Busto. The runaways of the morning of the
24,b, consisting of the 31, 4th, and 7th Cavalry, lot•
lice, and militia, who have ratorned to their allegiance,
are not less than 3,000. It has been repotted that tl:o
Brigadier of the Police, Joaquim .rose Maia, has sent in
his recantation, or submission, to Donna Maria's G•,-
vernment; he will he received, hut not employed. Tiii:
day's accounts state that Viscount Nlolellos, with his futzi-
tiv s, were at Andug:ateg", on his road to Santarem. An
Add,ess was V is day presented to the British Consul
G neral, from the British merchants, requesting that he
would apply to Admiral Parker to land a party of marines.
" LISBON, JULY 27.

" With the s irits of the people roused as then now are,
and the organ:z ohm of the N tional Guards, Don .Migt,el
would never mike any head here, even if he were mul
enough to bring down one half of his army to a•tack the
capital. The Doke of Palmeila took on hqn the govt., ii-
ment yesterday, and things are going on so well, that
though the ereat change took place only three days since.
yet we are in perlect tranquillity. Whenever the Duke
or Admiral Napier present themselves in public, they
are received with loud acclamations. General M
Yells has passed tl,rough St. Übes, and committed
there, as it is said, the most dreadful atrocities.
He was to-day only a league and a half from C.I.A.
has, when h- retreated. The Duke of Terceira has d.-
spatched troops to Mart c to cut him off, and another d--
tachment is in his rear from Casilhas, so that there is lit le
chance of his escaping. Whilst this is doing on the other
side, croups from those which fled from the capital are
constantly arriving and giving themselves up at head-
quarters. A body ot 600 men, great part of them cavalry,
reached Bemflea yesterday, and sent in their P uhini ,o 4 i n to
the Govrrnrnent. Many persons have been killed in the
streets, hut not an many as 1 expected, from the justly
eni aged feelings of the inhabitants.

" JULY 31.

"Every precaution is taken in case Don Miguel should
make an attempt on the capital. Our Admiral, besides,
has made his arrangements for the disembarkation, at a
mom nt's notice, of 2,000 marines and sailors, so th it
altogetl-..er nobody fears what may he attempted from with-
out. The troops that fled from the capital are re-
turning in great numbers, and Alob-llns has given in
his submission to the Government of the young Queen,
which is already working well. B fore the Pike
packet w: :s ch-ar of the bar on Sunday, a steamer hove
in sight with Don Pedro on beard ; the intere,ting news
was therefore taken to England by I er. It is impossible
to describe the fe•-lines of the inhabitants of Lisbon on its
being known here that Dun Pedro was so near; they
were literally mad with j •y— I never witnessed such a
scene. The whole of the Bi irish ships of war saluted
and manned yards when theEmpet or landed at the arsenal.
He was received with eomerhirg more than enthusi ,sro.
He has d smissed the Patriarch, and ordered the Papal
nuncio to quit the country within three days. The Spa-
nish Alinister left on Friday last, and the frigate a few
.ys before. The Chroniea of yesterday stat 9 that a
correspondence of the rebels, addressed confidentially to the
Viscount de Santarem, has been discovered, and there is
little doubt we shall have brotieht to light, among other
matters, important !were s in which some of the Tory party
in England have figured.

" No p,st has ai rived since the change of Governmen%
You will have le rrn,l the noble resistances made by the
per pe of Oporto on the 25th. The 3liguelites attempted
the life of the Duke de Cadaval, for refusing- to march on
the capital. I shoo!" not b, surprised if D.n nein!,
who, it is reported, is at Ale •bace, pays him in an unfor-
tunate manner or his great' services in Lisbon.

" MILITARY REPORT TO DON MIGUEL.
" Sire,—l hasten to send to your M jesty the report cf
the Commander in-Chi. f of the army Of operations, and
am happy to confirm to the King all the praises which the
army has so well tiesemd. The cavalry has particularly
distinguished itself by prodigies of valour, and has proved
bow much discipline cin add to the eff ct of Portuguese
courage. This example will not he lost on the rest of
the army.
" The details, yet incomplete, which have reached the
Lieutenanr-General commanding the army of operation.,
have not allowed him to do jusrice to all those who have
distinguished themselves. A second report will have for
object to repair this reluctant omission.
I ought to add my testimony to that of the Baron
Clouet, for the purpose of recommending to the King's
attention those officers of artillery who had the direction
f the fire of the Serralves. Ir is impossible to direct a
battery with more a,tivity or effect.
" The Duke of Lafoens has been wounded on my side.
Everybody admired his courage and sang froid. The
Marquis Bettis, who w s always with me, was very useful
in transmitting my orders. Conirt Cartaxo had his horse
wounded under. him. The King had graciously placed his
aide-de-camp, Mr. Correa at my disposal. This young
officer has shown the sang froid of an old soldier, and Ivis
known how to execute my orders with courage and

gence.
" I direct also your Majesty's attention to my ordnance
officet, Major Biassaget, who has particularly distinguished
himself in this combat. He was constantly in the hottest
of.the fire. He alighted also for the purpose of heading a
handful of infantry, through which step he freed a battery
of artillery, and pushed the enemy bark to the walls of
Quinta de Vanz-ller. All the other officers of my staff
have done their duty; two of tl em have been slightly
:Rounded. The Baron Bordirne had a horse wounded
under him, and all have shown themselves worthy to
fight in the rinks of this brave Portuguese army, whose
fidelity to its King and devotion to the national cause re-
calls the most illustrious days of the monarchy.

" Head quarters, Leca de Bali., July 26, 1833."
" By order of the King a reconnoissance upon some
po'nts of the fortified line which covers Op .rte on the right
shore , f the D.itiro has taken place ; the object was o
remonottre Quints de Vaezeller, Lordellti, and the ground
situated between Lindell° arid the 5.. a.
" A column under General Lewis, advancing to Van-
zeller, drove ha .k the enemy's pick-ts, took the yellow
house, and another house in ruins, in possession of the
enemy, and reached the walls of the park of Vauzeller.
Thee walls, from the strength of their construction, could

Ultimately the difficulty of the toads impeded the move.
ment of the two guns attached to this column, the train
of one of which broke, and no hope was left to penetrate
further on this side.
" Nevertheless General Lemos maintained the po ition
he had t Aro from the enemy, who fought desperately to
regain it. Another column at the same time under
Laeorhejaequeiin, advanced fiom Setraives ; p•rt of it
pia-ed she fire of the forts of E v.-lha. and the test turned
Paatelleiro{s position ; its march was at first slow, in
emisequence of the road tfri:ie impractieable for artillery
and cavalry, hut soon the advanced posts of the enemy
were driven back in every direction.
" Tie cavalry, obliged to act up n very unfavourab',
ground, have shown, nevertheless, great order and tesolu
don. The r. giment de Cascaea (infantry) seiz,l the

jtcquelin was wounded, when they retired in the la ti.
ot-rtl,r within our line.
" The third column, under General P ntaleon,dir..cted
their mirch to Lordelio. In turning to the left of Ser•
raise% they drove the enemy's pickets to the till .ge,.anit
near to the church of Lordello ; part of the column wen.
on to the lett, in order to pass the river ; the other on
the right, straight upon the village. All tie houses were
occupied by the enemy, who, by their cross fire would
have trade any attempt to take the village vet y sanguinary.
Artillery was necessary, and the stare of she roads ren
dered its approach impassable. The 3d Regiment of
Lisbon, tinder the command of Colonel T, nneguy Du
chatel, maintained, however, its position, them h unable
to dislodge V e enemy from the houses they had occupied.
" The smell column on the left found also many diffi•
culties in its way, since it was compelled to match in
front of the houses on a bad road. It met at the outset
the deep valley of Lordello, and was exposed besides to
the cross foe of the houses ar.d the b gm-ries before the
church ; nevertheless the enemy was di iven before it, and
some little advantages of ground enrbled it to keep its
position until the obstacle; were sufficiently known, when
the retreat was oriteted,
" An hour after the attack from the right line, Colonel
Ricardo marched with hi. c dumn to the Qiinta da China,
wh ch is the extreme right of the enemy's line.
" The detail of this attack' is not known yet. I can
on/' infirm the King, that Colodel Ricardo has exectic d
his orders, that he kept his position, and could follow at
last die general movement of retreat, without being cull] -
p, 11,d by the enemy.
" The Comindocier-in•Chief is happy to acknovvlei'ge
the bravery of the army. General Lemos, notwithstand-
