DON PEDRO'S EXPEDITION.

Official despatches have been received in town from the
Government at Oporto, dated the 19th of August, at
night, of a very encouraging nature. It appears, that
after the arrival of the new General, Gaspar Teixeira,
at the Miguelite head-quarters, a Council was held with
General Santa Martha and the other officers, at which it
was agreed not to make an attack upon Oporta, but to
take up a position on the other side of the Vouga, which
hey were going to cross.
Official intelligence had been received at Oporto of the
existence of a strong party of guerillas, in the interest of
the Queen. They had attacked and dispersed a detach-
ment of 500 Miguelite militia, who were conveying a con-
voy of arms and ammunition to the head-quarters, which
they captured.
It was also stated authentically, that the two provinces
of Ahrritejo and Algarves were in a state of agitation ap-
proaching to a general convulsion, and it was hourly ex-
pected they would declare against the Usurper, and in
favour of the young Queen.
The army of Don Pedro were in the highest spirits,
and confident of final success.
Great and incessant exertions are now making to secure
to the naval forces of the Constitutionalists a decided su-
periority over Don Miguel's fleet. Not only has a French
Indiaman of 1,200 tons, mounting 61 guns, been pur-
chased—which ves-el, being a two-decker, and regular line-
of-battle ship, will prove an overmatch to the crazy old
Don Joao Vl.—but three of the richest houses of Bor-
deaux have tendered to the Portuguese Committee in Lon-
don 3 corvettes (or rather frigates) of 32 long 18-pounderQ,
and 140 men each, payable in bonds or debentures, which
are to be taken in payment for prize goods and ships cap-
tured by the fleet of Sartorius, and now under condemna-
tion, and for sale at Oporto. This is making war defray
the expenses of war. Five thousand muskets, and vast
quantities of shoes and army clothing, are now about to
be shipped to Oporto from England ; and similar
shipments, we are happy to learn, are preparing
in various continental ports—viz., at Hamburg, Bre-
men, Antwerp, Havre, Nantz, Bordeaux, and Brest.
Veteran Polish cavalry, commanded by their ow❑ officers,
are enlisting in France, and will be mounted on the best
English horses. In short, every thing indicates the
speedy triumph of the Constitutional cause. Sartorius
is universally admired for his indefatigable activity, energy,
discretion, and wisdom. In the city, at least, justice is
done to this gallant officer, though at the West and, some
Tories may blame the course he has taken. Captain (now
Vice-Admiral) Sartorius fought under the immortal Nel-
son, at the battle of Trafalgar, as a midshipman, and
gained his subsequent promotion entirely by his personal
merits, good conduct, and bravery, having no Parlia-
mentary or family connections. In 1828 he commanded
the Galatea frigate, off Oporto ; and, after the failure
of that expedition, he had the humanity to shelter and
conceal several fugitive Constitutionalists on board his
ships for months. On his return to England the Wel-
lington Administration had the had taste to put him on
half-pay for such an act of truly British generosity. The
cause of his being subsequently deprived of his commission
by the present Whig Administration is still fresh in the
recollection of our readers, having been mentioned by Sir
James Graham during the last Session in the House of
Commons.
