PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 21.

•••
Me Royalist tender arrived here this afternoon from
Lisbon and Oporto, all quiet, and no news from the former
place, left Oporto 16th instant ; at that time Miguel's
squadron of a 74, a frigate, three corvettes, and two brigs,
were cruizing off there, also Sartorius, with two frigates,
but no action had taken place (the few shots fired on the
night of the 10th, off Lisbon, did no damage on either
side). Miguel's squadron did not appear willing to engage,
and Sartorius could not, before he got more of his squadron
together, which he expected soon to do, and to attack
Don Pedro, with 10,000 to 12,000 troops, was still at
Oporto, and retained possession of the south, side of the
Douro, but the 2d and 3d divisions of Miguel's army,
being within a short distance, it was expected every day
there would be an engagement; a trifling action had taken
place at a village near Oporto a day or two previous to the
Royalist's arrival, in which Don Pedro's party were de-
feated, owing to the treachery of one of his officers,
Captain Rehocho (not Rebello), very few men were, how-
ever, lost, and the officer had been executed. Count Villa
Flor had received a slight contusion in the action of the
7th, None of the officers of the Royalist were on shore
at Oporto (where she remained only four or five hours),
but gathered the above from the officers of the British
'hips laying there.
Miguel's squadron had been laying close in with Oporto,
but on Admiral Sartorius coming down in shore with his
two frigates, they stood farther off. Oporto was there-
fOre NOT BLOCKADED.
