CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNU might fancy
ourselves in profound yeses if we did not know that
a firman has been sent to all the Pitches in the Pro-
vinces, ordering tt levy en masse, from the age of 14
to that of 713, and which has hitherto been kept a
secret in the capital ; however, it is whispered in the
coffee-houses; that the Sultan will take the field in
the course of the Kourban Bairam, which has already
begult, and that the standard of the Prophet will be
he,,sted. It is certain that thiS is expected from the
preparations making in the Seraglio. On the other
hand, it is thought that the Porte perhaps intends to
send Deputies to the Russian head-quarters. Capt.
Phillippowitch broug!tt; on the 19th, the news that
Austria would remain neutral in the war between
Russia and the Porte, which has made the greatest
impression on the latter; as well as a letter, written
from Poros, by Admiral de Rigny, to the Minister
of the Netherlands, in which he disavows the Dtela-
ration of Hassan Pacha, Governor of Smyrna, and
represents the return of the Ambassadors as pos-
sible only if the invitation addressed to them should
be founded on the principles of the Intervention.
The Captain Pacha returned, some days ago, from
the entrance of the canal, and seems to have brought
to the Porte some bad news from the Black Sea. A
Russian squadron has appeared on the coast of Europe.
The steam-boat lately purchased was sent in all haste
to tow the ships of war; but it seems, that after
great efforts, only two of them could be brought into
the channel, the others having been taken by the
Russians.

It is considered as absolutely necessary to rein-
force the fortresses on the coast; and yesterday 50
cannon were sent by land to Varna.
It is believed,. that in these circumstances the
Porte will feel the necessity of yielding to the
friendly counsels of the European Ministers; and' that
it will place itself under the protection of the Treaty
of July 6th. It is related that the Dragoman of the
Porte has said to the Dragoman of an European
Legation, that he had no doubt but that the Porte
would consent to every thing if the Ambassadors
returned to Constantinople. This language in the
mouth of a Turkish Dragoman, who is known to
possess great influence in all affairs of the Govern-
ment, is considered as the forerunner of greater con-
cessions on the part of the Turkish Government.
VIENNA, JUI,Y 12.—1 t is said that Lord Heves-
bery will take to the Russian Head-quarters a decla-
ration, according to which England will suspend the
execution of the Treaty of the 6th of July till the
Emperor shall explain in a precise manner what he
means by the guarantees and indemnities which he
requires of the Porte—this report gains the more
credit, as such a declaration would appear entirely
conformable to the interest of all Europe.
The publication of an Ordotinance is expected,
prescribing the levy of 28,000 men in the hereditary
States.

LISBON PAPERS.

LISBON, JULY I.2.—The Official pad of the
Gazette contains various communications from the
Army.

A despatch from Viscount Pescpteira, dated
Head Quarters at Braga, 6th July, states, that he
had learned that the rebels who were in the Campo
do Allivio, on the right bank of the Rio Homem,
had left the road leading to Arcos, and seemed to
intend to proceed either to Tras-os-Montes by the
Portella do Homem, or to enter into Gallicia if they
were able. He had, therefore, desired the Count
de Lourenco to continue his march to Bascellos,
following the right bank of the Rio Hotnem to the
bridge of the Prado, and to continue his march to
Anhel, till the Viscount should have more informa-
tion respecting the motions of the enemy ; he had
also written to General- Viscount Do Pezo da Re-
goa, who is nt Povoit de Lanhoro, on the road
leading by Car valho d'Este to Tras-os-Montes.

Five or six hundred men had surrendered them-
selves, and the rebels had abandoned ten or twelve
pieces of artillery, after spiking them ; probably the
whole of the train with which they left Oporto.—
Several deserters have presented themselves to the
Viscount, and others were taken prisoners, and sent
to Oporto. The rebels seem to be returning to
Tras-os-Mon tes.

A despatch from the Viscount
,Pezo da Regoa,
dated Povoa de Lanhoro, July 7, gives an account of
the pursuit of the rebels, awl of the -measures he
had taken to prevent their entering Tras-os-Montes.
Generals D'Alvaro da Costa and Viscount de Santa
Martha had informed the General, in a despatch
dated the 6th, that the rebels had been attacked by
the troops under their command. The enemy com-
menced the action at seven in the morning, which
lasted till three in the afternoon, when the rebels
were dislodged from all their positions, from Val-
deste to half a league beyond St. Joao do Campo,
leaving behind four cannon and one howitzer, the
remains of their artillery, they having left six guns
and one howitzer, with baggage, ammunition, r&c.,
at the bridge of the Prado. They disbanded by
hundreds, and those and the prisoners amount to
above six hundred. Tke rebels were not pursued
any further, the troops being exhausted by forced
marches, and having had nothing to eat for 24
hours, the rebels destroying every thing in their way.
it seems that the rebels must certainly enter Gallicia,
as St. Joao do Campo is only a league from the ex-
treme frontier. The two Generals above tanned re
tired towards Bouro, to give the troops some repose,
and supply them with provisions.—" I have this mo-
ment," says the General, " received advice from
General the Viscount de Santa Martha, informing
me that the rebels were on the frontiers of Gallicia
at nine in the morning, and that it was said the Spa-
nish Authorities had refused to let them enter. I
have therefore suspended my march to Montealegre,
to observe their motions, doubting whether they will
return by the road they went, or upon Villa da
Veiga, by the road of Gerez ; and I have ordered
the above Generals to occupy, as soon as possible,
the pass of Covide, being the most important posi-
tion on the mountain."

The Correio do P. OHO of the 7th and Bth says,
that the rebels fled in great confusion,and plundered
wherever they came ; that the soldiers of the (ith and
18th regiments had fought
,the-second, accusing the
former of being the cause of their misfortunes; that
inimy men of these regiment; had come and sun.
