EXTRACT OF OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS.

TONDELLA, MAY 5, 1834.
We arrived here this day without opposition, as the
enemy had retired the day before yesterday upon Mor-
tagua, in the direction of Coimbra, where they will natu-
rally unite themselves with those of the south of the Douro.
We shall see where they will await us.
( Second edition. )
The entrance into Tondella took place at two o'clock in
the afternoon, and we met the same brilliant reception as'
at Vizeu. Rodil operates on the side of the Ponte da Mu 4.-
cella. It is natural to suppose that within two days we
shall be in Coimbra, and our labours speedily terminated.

M MEALHADA AY 7.
We have arrived here, and to-morrow strike a blow at
Coimbra. The troops burn with desire to cover them-
selves with glory.
(Supplement to No. 90, May 10. )
COIAIBRA, MAY 8.
I have the satisfaction to date this in Coimbra, where we
entered this morning without opposition, the enemy having
retired during the night. lam this moment informed
that Colonel Vasconcellos has arrived at Figueiras. We
shall speedily open the communication with Lisbon by land.
( Second edition. )
Another express, which left Coimbra yesterday, the 9th,
at 9 o'clock in the evening, has just arrived with despatches,
of which the following are extracts :
" Vasconcellos has entered Figueiras, from whence the
Admiral writes us to-day. Deserters continue to pour in
in a prodigious way."

We entered this city yesterday under a cloud of flowers,
discharges of fireworks, and ringing of bells. The ladies
all dressed in blue and white, the people appearing beside
themselves with joy, rushing into the files, and embracing
the troops, and calling them their liberators. From the
moment we entered, ten o'clock in the morning, until
now, eleven o'clock a.m., more than 60 officers and 600
to 700 soldiers of cavalry and infantry, have presented
themselves.

Whilst I have been writing this 37 cavalry and 52 in-
fantry soldiers have come in together.
Our beloved Duke has a brilliant guard of honour of
Spanish troops, cuirassiers, lancers, and light cavalry. The
epoch of Aliguelites and Carlists is ended; the Spanish
troops in combination with ours will soon make an end of
this Camara Optica. •

(From another Letter. )
The authorities retired at eleven at night, and the troops
at two in the morning. We found much ammunition,
but less stores of rations. The chiefs had held a council,
at which the Camara assisted, and treating of the object
" Supply," as no one would give them credit for a grain
of corn, they issued an intimation to some merchants to
present a great quantity of goods by four o'clock in the
afternoon. The precip►tation of their retreat prevented
this last violence from taking place.

any such measure was in contemplation.
