at the Consul's Ace, and had no doubt of latlndrcds of
Pipes haring been emptied into the Douro, by that time.
The Consul protested officially against such proceeding.
Some of the patriotic shareholders preferred to burn their
empty casks in a bonfire to any pecuniary arrangement,
and the Directors are apprehensive to compromise them-
selves with Don Pedro) should they accede to the proposed
sale, and deposit of the proceeds in the Bank of England.
General Saldanha ordered his battery to fire on the wine
stores the moment he saw the ruddy flood rolling down
the streets—his offer to send an open despatch to the
Emperor through the /giguelite camp having been rejected,
and the Consul neither would nor could guarantee the
unmolested shipment as required. The enemy has, however,
not yet proceeded to extremities, and the matter may still
be accommodated by a mutually advantageous agreement,
and the opening of the Douro,

LlsEow) Atr(s. is astonishing the attention that
has been effected in the short space of ten days by the ac-
tive and persevering diligence, despatch, and method of
Don Pedro in all the departments of the State. Early and
late he is to be seen at every point and every place where
his presence is necessary. He has already organized and
Hut into commission all the public offices, and appointed
to them men of talent, influence, and property, perfectly
efficient for the despatch of business, without any delay or
impediment, and, with the active assistance of Admiral
Napier and the Duke of Terceira, already placed the army
and navy on a most respectable footing, and taken every
means to secure the capital from the possibility of a suc-
cessful attack being made upon it in any event. Gun-
boats are sent up the Tagus, and other vessels and parties
of soldiers, to reconnoitre and assist in forwarding the
numerous deserters from Don Miguel's army, both from
the North and from Alemtejo, although a good deal of
impediment is thrown in their way by spies and small
parties of Guerillas, whose crimes and the part they have
taken renders it impossible for them to be pardoned.
Yesterday only near five hundred officers and men came
in and surrendered themselves, after great suffering and
privation, many having lived several days on raw In-
dian corn. Although no direct communication is yet
open by land to the army of the Alemtejo, it is
known that there is not any large body of Miguel's troops
in existence in all the provinces ; still there are several
bodies of desperadoes who are guilty of many acts of
atrocity towards deserter proceeding to Lisbon. Viscount
Molellos has disappeared, perhaps gone to join DOH
Miguel's force, said to be concentrating at Coimbra, and
that they are preparing to advance for an attack on the
capital. After the Duke of Terceira left St. Übes to
march on Lisbon a party of Guerillas entered that place
and committed every sort of depredation, burning and
plundering the premises of Mr. O'Neil, a British subject,
and a French Consul there, to the amount of many
thousand pounds; but on Saturday, the 3d inst., some
troops from Lisbon again got quiet possession of that place
and remain unmolested.
It is now confidently said that the old Minister, Conde
de Bastos, died at Obidos of fatigue; every body here
regrets that he did not live to be hanged. I believe no
one ever more richly deserved that fate, to which he had
doomed so many innocent victims. The Duke of Cadaval
is extremely ill at the baths of Cabins ; all the blame for
their recent disasters is heaped upon his head, and indeed
the whole affair of the flight from Lisbon, with from four
to six thousand troops, is most unaccountable, and shows
how little they knew of the force of the Duke's army,
The organization of the army in Lisbon is proceeding
with astonishing rapidity. Eight thousand National
Guards are already enrolled, one half to remain for the
defence of the city, and the other as moveable troops. All
the regular regiments are filling rapidly, and being put
into a state of discipline : a great many meritorious officers
same from the prisons, others from exile, and others who
have remained in a state of poverty and distress confined
to their miserable dwellings for years, are now appointed
to different regiments, with rank commensurate to the
time they had served in the army. Brigadier F. J.
Carreti, long a prisoner in fort St. Julien, is now ap-
pointed Governor of that fortress. Great numbers of
men eagerly enlisted for the 4th regiment, now 1,000
strong. On account of its popularity, it will be rememl
bered that Don Miguel shot forty men of this regiment,
two years ago, for their loyalty and conscientious adhe-
rence to their lawful Sovereign, Donna Maria.
Don Pedro gains the esteem of all ranks, not by osten-
tatious display, but by his open, frank, and affable man-
ners. He suppresses as much as possible all public ex-
pression of popularity, rides through all parts of the city
on horseback without guards, and has done away with the
absurd custom of alighting from their carriage or from
their horses all who accidentally meet the Royal Family,
and is easy of access to all ranks. The custom of the Kings
of Portugal dining alone, no one being permitted to sit at
table with them, is exploded, and his Majesty has a party
at dinner every day, where he displays every degree of
hospitality, good humour, and conviviality, after his ex-
traordinary exertion and attention to the business of the
State throughout the day. His regular attention to the
religious duties, and his affecting visit to the tomb of his
fasher, are proofs of his good feeling in the cause of reli-
gion. and has allayed the fears of those who, from the
wicked reports of his enemies, believed him to be an
enemy to the Church.

Gen. Romarino, with 300 soldiers, principally French,
and some few Poles, arrive,; here a few days ago, after a
long and tedious passage from Bordeaux.
It is asserted that some plate, and money to a consider-
able amount, has been discovered in the baggage of the
Pope's Ndncio, who was ordered to quit Lisbon in three
(lays—the Gazette says from fear that the populace, to
whom he was obnoxious, might offer some insult to the
representative of his Holiness.

To•day an account bas arrived that the prisoners at
Elvae arc set at liberty, and many of them armed in the
Queen's cause. At Estromas some prisoners were killed
by Guerillas.

Lisbon is not only quiet, but in the enjoyment of an
excess of happiness, apparent in every face. This day the
first money coined in the name of Donna Maria has ap-
peared.

The Periodico dos Pobres cost a halfpenny a paper,
and is in immense circulation.

Thousands of reports are in circulation daily which
cannot be traced to any authentic source. The Conde
de Faroba (Baron Quintello) is reaping the reward of
his loyalty and consistency ; he is said to have 40,0001.
to pay the Duke's heroic soldiers on their landing in
Lisbon, and also the gallant crews of Admiral Viscount
de Cape St. Vincent's. Don Pedro's attentions to the
wants and wishes of these great Commanders are unre-
mitting. The late hours of business in the Portuguese
offices is proverbial. This morning I saw a clerk hurry-
ing off to the office at eight o'clock. On inquiring why
so early, he said he was afraid Don Pedro might be there
before him.

Don Carlos's baggage has come down, and it :s said he
11 going away immediately in an English vessel. Don
Pedro does not intend to receive him.

LiseoN, Auci. 7.—The arrival of Don Pedro in Lis
bon on the morning of the 28th ult., has produced in the
acts of the Government a degree of rigour and activity,
and in all the subordinate departments a share of cheerful
alacrity and confidence altogether unprecedented. As he was
only seven years of age wben he left Lisbon, in company
with the rest of the Royal Family, in their flight for safety
to the Braids, it is easy to imagine that he was not a little
affected on entering the Tagus under such extraordinary
and exciting circumstances. He cried and sobbed like a
child as be again witnessed, after 26 long years of absence,
the beautiful scenes of his infancy; drawing, as it were,
close to the bosom of his country, he felt the throbbing
heart of the nation bounding to welcome his return, for
never surely existed more sincere manifestations of cordial
welcome than on this occasion. From the moment of his
arrival up to the present, all his thoughts and all his ac-

tions seem centered in the accomplishment of the great
and heroic purpose of restoring order, administering
justice, and making the people happy. On the day
after his arrival, he repaired to the church of
Sr. Vincent, where lie the remains of his father. Mass
was here celebrated for the repose of the souls of his Royal
parents, after which, approaching the tomb of his father,
he knelt down and shed abundance of tears over the re-
mains of a parent, whose days had been embittered, and
whose life had heed made a sacrifice by a persecution
which was now overcome. He then wrote upon a piece of
piper the following words, which he left upon the tomb :--
" One son assassinated thee;
The other son will avenge thee."
" July 29, 1833. D. PEDRO."

I must refer you to the wise and salutary decrees
which have been already passed in the name of the Queen,
and which are scrupulously put in force without any loss
of time, and followed up with the utmost activity and
vigilance. If such courses are persevered in with that
firmness, discrimination, and justice, tempered with hu•
manity, which at present mark all the acts of the Go-
vernment, we have good reason to hope that Portugal will
-peedily resume her respectability among the nations of
Europe, and her people become manly, energetic, and brave.
The Jesuits that had been invited by Don Miguel to
take up their residence in this country, are now ordered
out ; and yon will perceive, among the published acts of
the Government, that his Eminence the Nuncio is like-
,vise made to take his departure, under the plea of unwill-
i•igness that the delegate from the Chief Pontiff should be
