INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE.

TRANSLATION.

Most Illustrious and Most Excellent Sir,—On the 28th
ult. I had the honour to receive your Excellency's de.
spa rhea through Mr. J•cn.-s. by the steamer the African,
containing the " confidecttials," N. 1% 686, 637, and 688,
to whit-h I oi.la have to reply, thst I immectiately set ab ut
exertring your Excellency's instructions and the ord rs of
the. King our Lord ; nor do I fear tha any one• shall ae
cu Pme of negligence. On the 29-h I received anciVer
roc.fidentill despatch, No. 686, Ind the ost.nsible one,
153; and the confirienti4l letter of the 12th of June, for
which I thank your Excellency, an account of the pleasure
they cdfircled me, by assuring me of the success of Mr.
Jones's mission. and thus approving of my conduct. This
nay I received, by the Pike, your Excel:ency's secret
despatch, without any number. though I think it was in-
tend. d for 689, which I communicated to own Cantu!, on
account of the agreeable intelligence vihich your Excel.
lency impart- d, and I also told him what I knew of the
landing of the rebels in Algarve. •

§ 1. Marsoal Bourin.ant, ace.ampanied by 15 (Accra of
distinction, among whom was General Cluet and two -ons
of the Marshal, emli irked at Portsmouth on the 24 inst.
in the steamer George IV., which was bought for our
service. According to the instructions agreed uPttna he
is to land at that of the porta of the Minh() which he
can reach nearest to the King's head-quarters. Prior
to his departure he had interviews with Lord Beresfiard.
tt « Mini-ter of Spain, and Baron Neumann, to whom he
wished me to introduce him, notwithstanding that he was
known to him, by reason of the new relation in which he is
.with his Majesty's Government. Baron Neumann sent to
me a request, through the Spanish Secretary of Leg Ann
(Cordova), that the moment Bmirmont came, be begged
t, see him. Fortunately, this message was delivered at
the motnent that we were going to
.the Baron's house.
The conference which took place was intere-ting. The
Baron, to whom I had,communieated that Bourmont was
to arrive here, said that not only he but many other person-
ages, among others the Duke of Wellington, were most
happy to hear of the Marshal'agoing to Portugal. He added,
that the Governments of the three Powers highly ap-
Wattled his M tiesty's resolution of taking the. Marshal into
his service, and, finally, that Bourtnont ought to consider
himsell.as ening to Portugal on a mission of not only
.say.ng the Portuguese cause, bet the cause of legitimacy in
the whole peninsula: in Europe, and in the world ; such
was the immense importance which must be attached to
our success. Front the same Baron I heard that this
Government is extremely uneasy at Bourmont's going to
Portugal. and that they greatly with to prevent it. The
Minister of Spain had told me that Lord Palmerston cost-
plainer' to him on the 30th ult., concerning Bourrnont's
departure, and was disposed to impute it to the influence
of Spain, and thus give it the character oe an infraction
of neutrality on the part of Spain. Mr. Vial cleared
himself perfectly of this imputation by showing that Spain
had no hand in it; on the contrary, he confounded Lord
Palmerston by demonstrating that England had been guilty
of much more real, more scandalous, and better proved in-
tractinna sf n utrality.
§ 2 Elliot makes every rff art to hasten the expedition
intrusted to him, and I assist him as much as possible.
aecording to your Excellency'« orders and my own wish,
hut I do not think that he can get every thing ready under
eight or ten days.
§ 3. The Sp nish Minister complained to me to-day
th at at Aleabaga, some Spanish partisans of the Infant
Don Carlos were assembled, which gave umbrage to the
Spanish Government. I am unable to say whether this has
any foundation, yet it was my (tut), to mention it to your
Excellency, for the purpose of cautioning our Government.
§ 4. I sent with B aurmont Antonio de Limos, that he
may serve him as a guide and interpreter, and assist him
in his communications with the authorities of the ports
where he may land. There was no time to-day for send-
ing extracts from the journals. I will begin with them
my next despatch.
Though I have been out the whole day collecting in.
formation ,(which is also the rea-on of the shortness of
this despatch), I am as yet una-le to ascertain what elect
Napiei's landing in Algarve has produced on the Go-
the next parker
,I shall he better able to
peak on ; llt
this -uhject. In the mean time I can assert,
that in the opinion of other persons of note. the great dis-
tance from the capital at which the expedition has dirs.
einbarket makes it fir from 'acing formidattle, provided
proper mca.ures are taken on our part.

§-I—.When every thing was ready to be sent to P,trtu-
gal. n imely, two ream vessels. the Lord of the Ist. catur
th- United Kinndom, some 30 officers of all arms, near
500 picked sailors, and a. veral excellent gunners, the news
rrived that our scriadron had sailed irom the Tagus, and
had b en captured by Napier. The journ Is of the 15th
instant give the particulars of that disastrous event,
and yesterday. the 16th. our expedition was to have
put to sea in the night. As there were now no
-,hips II which to send the supplies, all that could be
done was to despatch the officers and men, while
the materiel was countermanded, • and everything had

Lond,,n, July 17, 1633.

If it be founded in fact (for the contrary seems to me
very possible) that our squadron was taken in the manner
your Excellency will se. it stated in the journals, it would
at least vet ify my prediction, that those who suffered the
French to enter the Tagus in the scandalous manner they
did in 1831. would, sooner or later, ruin the cause, the
nation, the g, and us all ! lam ignorant when,
came the order for the squadron to put to sea, with the
view of its being surrendered to Napier, after the arrange-
ments which were making here, and which were so far
advanced th it all were to have departed yesterday in the
afternoon ; but whoever issued that order, or advised it,
will have to answer for it, and may boast to have frustrated
the finest cause just when it was on the point of triumph.
ing without any the least doubt ! The indignation of all
those who interiart themselves for us is indescribable at
so fatal a mismanagement. The whole nation has been
put to an enormous expense, which is totally lost, and
many persons have been compromised, while we had
the best founded hopes that in ten days more nothing
could save the rebels from certain ruin, and yet behold !
the Government orders the squadron to sea, and th.reby,
very cleverly indeed, ruins all at a single stroke ! I need
not say more, the thing is so clear, th in that I do not
discover how it can be temedied, and this opinion is
entertained almost by everybody. If the disaster had
octairred by some fatality, by the loss of a battle after
an honourable contest, well and good ; but to ruin all
by such an inexcusable error is a madness that deprives
us even of consolation. lam at a loss to conceive what
Bourmont will have been at le to effect, for I entertain no
longer any hopes of this extretite incapacity of our people.
However, to continue active till the end of the tragedy, I
have made every effort to send out to Bourmont. 14
or fifteen excellent officers, cl oxen by himself, and who
are still here : he stands in the uttno,t need of them.
I shall endeavour to have them landed at some port
on the coast, and it will be advisable for your Excel-
lency to furnish then on their arrival with every means
of conveyance to the General, and to issue accordingly
orders in all the ports. I cannot advise and recommend
any mote urgent than the defence of the capital, for the
moment the enemy possess themselves of it, we have no-
thing more to hope for, seeing that this Government will
instantly recognise Donna Maria, and will probably inter-
pose in her favour. If, however, the people anti the troops
continue faithful, and particularly if B turmont strike
some great blow by the taking of Oporto, and if either
after or even bef-re this the expedition be expelled from
Algarve, then, indeed, we may indulge some hope, though
the loss of th. squadron is irreparable, and most melan-
choly in its effects, both with regard to Portugal and the
Morel.

yesterday, and the day before yesterday, conversed
with representatives of the great powers, and with other
persons, to learn what remedy there might still remain ;
but I cannot flatter myself to have heard any thing to the
purpose, since every body is put out of humour by the
oversight in making the squadron go out; all think that
nothing now can be done to save our cause. If we pos-
sessed funds, it would not be difficult to collect here a
squadron as great as that of the rebels in a few weeks.
But %here could we now find the 300.000/. or 400,0001.
required for %itch an armament? Your Excellency will

which is nut surprising in the situation in which is placed

DUCHY or rosin+, JUNI 24.

The state of the Duchy of Posen is far from being u-
ti.factory. Public exactions of various kinds and devices
impoverish the inhabitants to their last farthing, and fre.
quent levies of recruits deprive the country of vigoi out.
arms fir labour. Under the pretence that we allowed the
Polish refugees to pass from abroad to Poland, his Majesty
the King has cancelled the amnesty formerly granted to
those who had taken any part in the late Polish struggle.
They are now, if young, pressed into Prussian regiments
to serve as privates; if old and wealthy, fined. To the
last category belong all the officers of higher rank. Gene-
ral is fined 22,000 tbalers ; Theodore My-
citl.ski, 27,000 thalers ; Baranowski 5,000 dialers, &c.
Tho-e whom the military code holds exempt from service,
on account of some na•ural defect, lameness, or mutila-
tion, are subject to the most humiliating inspection of the
military surgeon. They are pl iced, stark naked, under
the 4' klappe" (measure of height), where they stand
exposed to public view. (Our correspondent quotes seve-
r names of very rtapectable individuals who have been
treated in this ignominious way.) Toe confiscation of estates
is indeed reduced to one fifth part of their value, to be paid
into the putilic treasury; but as the amount of that fifth
portion is entirely dependent upon the estimate the
Prussian functionaries deem proper to make of the estotas.
and as an immediate payment of the sum is required,
this seemingly lenient arrangement turns out, especially
at this time of general distress and want of trade, to be
so much aggravating the losses of the land proprietors a-
to amount to an absolute confiac ition An exceptional
regulation, by which the debts not hypothecated in the
Government hooks, are to fall on the remaining landed
property of the creditors, oppresses with an additional
considerable burden the inhabitants. Miss Emilia Szcza
niecks, who, as you know, by attending the hospitals of
the cholera pa ients and the wounded at Warsaw, had at
th it time exposed her life, having been absolved by the
Courts of the First and the Second Instance, is now in a
third court sentenced to bye her estates confiscated, and
to an imprisonment in a fortress. The Prussian Govern-
ment appeirs to vie with Russia in contriving rigorous
measures against the Polish patriots. The imprisonments
are d ily multiplying, and those who appeared to have
been freed from molestation are again cited before the
courts, and penalties formerly assigned begin to be in-
flicted with unsparing severity. Even those of nonage
a, e not excepted. Under the pretence of improving
the pul•lic instruction in the Duchy, the Polish lan-
guage is banis► er! from schools: foreign customs, and
I iws, and institutions, contrary to the national, are
introduced, in the same manner and to the same effect as
in Russian-Poland, notwithstanding that to this part, as
well as to the whole of old Poland, the preservation of its
nationality has been guaranteed in the treaty of Vienna
by all the European Powers, and that solemn promises to
that effect were issued in the Prussian King's prechima-
thins when he rook these provinces into his possession in
1815. The recent reform of the J.ws, and the pretended
privileges granted them, constitute a part of the general
plan to have at length all the inhabitants of the country
deflation II red. Provincial councillors (I indraths), who,
by the code granted after the treaty of Vienna, were to
he elective, and up to that time had been chosen from
among the landowners who were native Poles, are hence-
forward to be named by the Government front among the
Germans called to that office from remote provinces of
