LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1832.

At length we have news from Lisbon to the
19th, and from Oporto of the 20th inst., by the
Firebrand steamer, ample details of which will
be found in another page. The following
abstract from a Morning Contemporary will
furnish a summary of the operations by sea and
land :

AL3IOUTII, WEDNESDAY, 4 o'clock.

" The Firebrand is just arrived from Lisbon and
Oporto. She left Lisbon on the 15th, at which time his
Majesty's ships Caledonia and Revenge were working up
from Cascaes Bay, to anchor off Lisbon. This movement of
a part of the English squadron was occasioned by the unsafe
and desperate situation of English lives and property at Lis-
bon, the potice of Miguel in that city being beyond all hear-
ing. They shot the servant of Lord William Russell in
going into that Nobleman's house. The prisons of Lisbon
are crowded with inmates for political opinions, amount-
ing to nearly 3,000. Don Miguel left Lisbon for
Coimbra, and from thence to his army, on the 17th
instant, for the purpose of animating his troops
by his presence. He had persuaded his sister, the
late Regent, to accompany him, much against her
incli-
nation. On the night of the 19th the Firebrand arrived
at Oporto, and left on the evening of the 20th. His Ma-
jesty's ship Talavera had left for England, and the Asia
was getting ready to sail for Lisbon, leaving his Alajesty's
ship Briton off the Bar at Oporto ; and his Majesty's
vessels Oristes, Childers, and Echo, inside. Admiral
S►rtorius was cruizing off Oporto with his squadron.
Shots and shells were exchanging during the day. The
Firebrand remained between the rival forces.

" On the 14th dime had been an action fought off Vigo
Bay between the rival squadrons, and, after a smart en-
gagement, both separated. A good deal of damage
was done to both parties, and the loss of killed and
wounded on Don Pedro's side was 45. The weight
of metal on Don Aliguel's side was five to one in
his favour. When the Firebrand anchored above Be-
lem, on the 16th, she found the Lon John and a frigate
with lower yards and topmast struck, at their old anchor-
age, they having arrived in a very disabled state, from the
great many shots rzeeived, by which they made a great
deal of water, and are so much shattered that they will
require to be docked and generally repaired before they
can put to sea again."

Despatches have been received this morning
by the Charge d'Affaires of Don PEDRO, the
Chevalier de Limit, dated Oporto, the 19th
inst. They are, however, all silent as to the
action between the forces of Do❑ MIGUEL and
those of the EMPEROR, near Oporto, and also
relative to the battle between the two fleets, the
accounts having been sent by the sailing packet,
which has not yet arrived. All that is known
officially is, that the attacks of the Miguelites
had ceased after the 14th, and that in the attack
upon the Serra Convent the Miguelites lost
more than 1,000 in killed and wounded ; among
the former was Colonel PEIXETO, Commandant
of the Bth Chasseurs. On the side of the Con-
stitutionalists the loss did not exceed 50.

Extract of a letter from Oporto, dated Oc-
tober 14, 1832 :
" Donna Maria, off Oporto, 7 o'clock, Sunday Evening.
" Since my last we have had two severe engagements

loth by land and sea ; by land this same day, 14th of of 0e-

tober, and by sea the 10th of October. As I told you
before, both squadrons wero at anchor in Vigo, on the
morning of the 10th ; about 5, the enemy's fleet began to
get under weigh ; Sartorius did the same, and both were
clear out at ten, the enemy being 2i- miles a-head of us;
light breezes the whole day ; we did not close with them
till midnight; at half-past 12 at night we bore down to
the enemy, and at 10 minutes after one engaged, and did
not leave off till 5 in the morning. A most severe fire
was kept up by both parties the whole time; the Donna
Maria, Admiral Sartorius's ship, engaged the Dun John, a
line•of-battle ship, and the Reinha, our frigate, the enemy's
frigate, the small vessels of both sides doing but little good.
The Donna !elaria was greatly cut ; the Reinha very little
damaged, and our other vessels suffered nothing. Atter the
firing ceased, the enemy bore up and sailed towards the
southward for the Tagus. We are all off Oporto at pre-
sent; the Donna Maria will have to put into some port
for repair. On board of her we lost 7 men and IS
wounded ; 9 amputations on 8 persons ; also 1 midship-
man shot. The Bejaia had 3 (lead and 1 wounded ; and
amongst the other vessels 4 killed and 10 wounded, making
in all 14 (lead, 29 wounded. You may rely on this, my being
an eye-witness, for I was on board the Admiral's ship, and
escaped, with the exception of a slight hurt in the lower
part of my stomach from a splinter. The enemy fought
very well indeed—kept up a stiong fire—cowards
they were not in this action. Sartorius is not strong
enough yet. A line-of-battle ship and a frigate having on
board all 24, and 32-pounders, against two frigates with
only 18-pounders on board."

The ibllowing is from the Lisbon Gazettes
to the 18th, and of course makes every thing
favourable for the Usurper. It is a great pity
that SARTORIUS had not been joined by the
Wellington frigate before the battle. As it is,
we think he might have carried the line-
of-battle ship by boarding, seeing that he had

th e advantage of the steamers to get alongside.
It was hopeless to trust to broadsides against
such heavy metal:--
LISBON.

(From the Gazette, from 13th to 18th September, both

inclusive.)

The Numbers 246, 247, and 248 of the 13th, 15th,
and 16th, contain, in the official part, very long lists of
persons who have given corn and other things for the use
of the army. They have no account whatever from the
army before Oporto, either official or private.

that you may acquaint his Majesty that, on the 29th, the
Governor of Aveiro informed me that the bar of that
place seemed to be blockaded by some of the enemy's ves-

pose any attempt at landing, and if a landing should be
effected, to attack and disperse the rebels.
" The Corrigador of Aveiro, in a latter dated this day,

passed the bar in bolts, and came to the foot of the Fort,
but that they were bravely repulsed by the militia,
which I have great pleasure in communicating to your

" Stn.—l have the honour to send you the detail.; of
the action, which took place on the 1 1 th, between the
squadron which I have the honour to command, and the
naval force of the rebel..

"On the 10th, at a quarter past seven in the morning,l
got under weigh to sail from the Ria de Vigo, the force
of Santoriva being at that time at anchor, to the east,
near the islands of Bayona. This force consisted of two
frigates, a corvette, three gallies, three brigs, and a steam-
boat. A little alter 1 sailed the enemy's squadron also be-
gan to get under weigh, going further from us towards the
north. Here it remained becalmed, at the same time
that our squadron had a fresh breeze from the North; but
the enemy, by the help of the steam-boat which they had,
and of another which joined them during the day, suc-
ceeded in getting out, first the two frigates, and the others
following . Our squadron sailed in two columns formed
in line of battle, that to windward consisting of the Don
John Vi, and the Princess Royal frigate ;
that to leeward of tie two corvettes, the Don Isa-
bel Maria and Cybelle, and the two brigs
Auclrtz and Tejo. The enemy's squadron followed,
keeping to windward out of the reach of our ar-
tillery, till about half an hour past one o'clock in the
night of the 11th they began to bear down upon us, and
to throw rockets, the first of which were by way of trial,
the others, however, passing beyond our line. As we
were now within gun-shot, we kept up a fire for two
hours, which the enemy returned with sufficient vigour
and much energy,. The combat became very active on
both sides; but our fire was so brisk, and the enthusiasm
of our men so great, that about four o'clock in the morn-
ing the enemy was obliged to put in practice his usual
mode of taking flight, being able by the assistance of his
steam-boats to get entirely out of cur reach. They were,
however, pursued till five o'clock by our ships, whose
fire they hardly returned. The enemy accelerated their
flight as much as they could, but were pursued for some
time by the Princess Royal, which endeavoured to
draw them nearer to our squadron, and the enemy
then tacked, and returning the fire, continued
their retreat so as to separate from us in the most
speedy manner. Thus the combat ended, the enemy
having learned by fatal experience the courage which in-
spires the faithful Portuguese in defending the glory of
the throne and their own power.
" The ship of the line, the frigate, and the two corvettes
sustained some damage. The Don John VI. fired 1,436
shot ; the Princess Royal about 1,000 ; the two cor-
vettes also fired a considerable number, but the brigs, being
very bad sailers, could not keep up with the rest of the
squadron. The Don John VI. had six men killed, and

IS wounded ; the Princess Royal 13 killed, and 25
wounded ; the Cybelle, 1 killed, and 5 wounded; the
Isabel, I slightly wounded. I could not judge of the da-
mage the enemy sust,ined from our are, being at so great
a distance frotu us when day broke, but the two frigates
seemed to have suffered severely in their rigging.

office's and men.]

Lisbon Gazette, Oct. 18.

-1 The French papers of Wednesday received
this morning confirm, as far as circumstantia
evidence can confirm, the probability of the
French troops entering Belgium in the course of
a very short space of time indeed. The only
doubt seems to be as to what will be the conduct
of Prussia. All the accounts concur in stating
that the Prussian troops will enter Belgium con-
temporaneously with those of France ; but then
we are destitute of any information with respect
to the movements in detail in the Prussian arse-
nals and garrisons, which are furnished us in so
great abundance from France. Perhaps this
may be attributed to the greater restraint which
exists in Prussia with regard to such subjects;
but still we arc not prepared, without positive
intelligence, to believe that Prussia can do any
thing so immediately contrary to its own inte-
rests as involve itself in a war with France, pre-
pared as the people of that country are to resist
all foreign aggression. It is true that the de-
spotic States of Europe may fear the spread of
French liberalism, may detest the French Govern-
ment, and think themselves justified in keep-
ing a watchful eye upon it, yet the danger

ti at may proceed from it is remote. On the
other hand, they must feel that any attack upon
France would instantly put them into the most
imminent peril at home. Still we have seen men
do things as contrary to their interests as
going to war with France would be contrary to
the interests of Prussia, Austria, and Russia,
and we ma y have yet to apply to their rulers
the hackneyed line—

" Quem Deus volt perdere prius deruentat."
Extracts will be found in another column.

We understand that a purchase of Portuguese
Scrip, to the extent of 50,0001., was made this
morning in the City by a person who is gene-
rally supposed to act for Mr. ROTLISCHILD.
The circumstance has excited considerable sen-
sation among the friends of the Constitutional
cause, as it is believed no such purchase would
have been made if the Miguelite agents here
had not given up all hopes of success for their
master.

It was expected, we believe, that an account
would have been received by telegraph from
Paris this day, of the ratification of the treaty
signed on Tuesday by Prince TALLEYRAND
and Lord PALMERSTON. Up to the present
hour, however, no telegraphic communication
has arrived.

The fog has been so great this morning in
the metropolis as to render it quite dangerous to
walk the street. All carriages and coaches have
been obliged to proceed with the greatest cau-
tion, and throughout the town the gas in the
shops was alight from half-past twelve o'clock.
