LISBON.

We have received accounts from Lisbon by
the Savage brig of war, which arrived at Fal-
mouth on Sunday. She sailed from Lisbon on
the Ist, but brings no mail from Oporto.
There was a heavy gale of wind which prevented
any communication. The following is from
the correspondence of a Morning Paper :

" It is known here that the Spaniards have advanced to
the vicinity of Castello Branco, where they captured Don
Carlos's carriages and baggage, after in vain summoning
the then governor of Almeida to surrender him, and being
answered with cannon balls. Don Carlos made his escape,
and arrived on the 15th at Chaumrea, nearly opposite to
Santarem, leaving his family at or near Abrantes. Let-
ters from Santarem of the 22d are, however, silent on this
subject, and mention only the crossing of the small Spa-
nish force in the vicinity of Marvau, and recrossing the
frontiers shortly afterwards on their return to Spain. The
Chronica of this day contains official despatches announcing
the occupation of Lamego, on the 22d, by the Duke of
Terceira, the towns of Feira, Oliveira d'Azimeis, and
Ovar, proclaiming the Queen, and of a bridge of empty
pipes being thrown across the Tagus at Santarem, prepa-
ratory to a retreat to Elvas. The case of Don Miguel
seems to be in its last agonies, and near at an end. Sixty-
nine deserters had presented themselves in the earlier part
of the week at Cartaxo, and twenty-two more on Satur-
day. A whole battalion of royalist volunteers (from La-"
mego) were discovered at Salvaterra, in an attempt to
desert, and severely punished by the usurper in person.
At Coimbra, Figueira, and Pombal, his authority is shaken
to the foundation. Admiral Napier, with 300 men, em-
barked on Friday evening in the City of Edinburgh
steamer, for Figueira, but the weather having been ex-
tremely boisterous ever since, he was compelled to return
and land again last night, unable to keep the sea.
" Don Miguel has got another accession of British offi-
cers. The names of Hawkins and Davis appear in his
Gazette as Captains of Infantry; Campbell Onslow, Lieu-
tenant in the third cavalry ; and the renowned Captain
Robinson, of the Beresford school, is made full Colonel by
his grateful master, Don Miguel, an unprofitable rank,
which will not give food and clothing to his numerous and
destitute family.
" Some days ago, General Lamos sent a body of troops
from Santarem, to reinforce Coimbra, but they refused to
cross the River Mondajo, and returned to Torres Novas.
Captain, now Major, Diego Robinson, formerly of the
British service and 10th Portuguese infantry, has been
promoted by Don Miguel to the rank of a Colonel, on ac-
count of the services he rendered during the Peninsular
war, as the Bolitin do Excerto states, but, probably, in
reward of his activity in the usurper's cause, of which he is
one of the principal agents.
':,.The late trifling change in the administration, Aguiar
having received the department of Justice and Ecclesiasti-
cal Affairs, formerly held by Gola Silva Carvalho, the
Minister of Finance, is said to have 'given offence to the
latter, who is reported to have procured Freire, the sup-
posed author of this measure, to be' removed from one of
his Ministerial pluralities to fill only the office of Foreign
Afflairs, the War Office to be given to Miranda, or vice

versa, if report speak correctly' No other changes are
talked of.

" The Portuguese squadron, seized by Admiral Roussin,
and now lying at Brest, is to be brought back, there being
)11y 40 contos (8,000/. to 9,0001.) due for their preserva-
tion, which is less than the value of the smallest service-
able ship among them.
" The fall of the important fortress of Almeida, which
proclaimed the Queen, has been officially confirmed to-day,
by the Duke of Terceira's despatches.
" This afternoon the Minister of War received intern-
ynee, by way of Leira, of Figueira and Monte Mar hav-
ing declared in favour of the Queen on the 25th, when the
Don Pedro frigate and the Cybele corvette were in sight
of the former place, and Admiral Napier himself, in the
steamer, was expected.
" General Sir J. Campbell was removed from the Castle
of St. George, on the night of Tuesday last, to the Tower
of Belem, suspected of carrying on a secret correspondence
with Santarem, it is said.
" A Portuguese courtmartial sat on Tuesday morning,
for the trial of Colonel Williams, on a charge of excee•_l-
ing his leave of absence in England. After the produc-
tion of documents to prove the impossibility of his return,
on account of the bad weather, and the evidence of Sir J.
NT. Doyle and General Sir T. W. Stubbs, to the high
honour, character, and zealous ability of the Colonel, he
was acquitted."
