LETTERS FROM PORTUGAL.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
The following is an extract of a letter we have
been favoured with from an officer of the British

squadron, off Lisbon, dated August 3, 1832 :--
. This morning the Miguel squadron, composed of thea
Don Juan, '74, a frigate of 46, three corvettes of 22 an
24, and three brigs, came out of port, and made sail t°:
wards Sartorius. He got under weigh, and recalled I'l/
vessels which were scattered outside—they have got togs'
ther now (noon) two frigates, a corvette, and a schoorec ','
there are to leeward an armed ship of ten guns, a brig;
and a schooner : both squadrons are standing off shore, the
larger in chase of the smaller. It is supposed Sartori:
will go about by and by, when he can fetch to wind l'e
them all, and he may attempt something in the nights bub
the force is much too strong for him to do any thing vi',
it if properly handled. Some of us reckon much on t13,-,
quality of the respective crews. 1 suppose sartori'l„
men will be better disposed and better able to use °eve
guns than the other party, which for the most part Bill
been forced into the service very lately. A little time ”b,
show, but as we expect the packet out to-night, I 03 °
figed to close my note. t
" Seven P. 31. —Both squadrons were out of sig" ,-1 ef
sunset ; the Leveret is following them to see whit

do. It is the general expectation in the British squalrig
that Sartorius will now have some opportunity of criPP-
these gentry.

" Fogs are very frequent on the coast, and a ga'eteir

power, while Sartorius would be none the worse, arid 'a ~
