LONDON. -
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1828,

By the at rival of a Lisbon Mail we have ac-
counts from thence announcing the surrender of
the Island of Madeira to the Expedition of Don
MIGUEL on the 23d ult., without any of the
boasted resistance which was promised, indeed
the affair seems to have been managed upon a
humane principle, one man being killed, and one
wounded by accident. It seems the Conceicao
schooner of war of 16 guns, proceeding from
Viana to Lisbon, with arms, has been taken by a
privateer, without firing a shot. What two fine
instances are these for the annals of Portuguese

istory in future times, and what a recommenda.

tion is it for the convoy promised, when they
present, through their agents, ships for insurance
under such gallant specimens of courage, to the
under-writers of LLOYD'S ? We almost begin
to think any interference on their behalf
for such a set would -be ridiculous ; and,
perhaps, his Grace of WELLINGTON entertains
the same opinion. The mail does not, it is said,
futnish us with any information respecting Sir
J. M. DOYLE or Mr. YOUNG, or that they
have been released. What then becomes of
Lord ABERDEEN'S threats ? And is it come
to this, that England, who has spent much
blood and treasure for the defence of Portugal,
should allow herself to be treated with insult and
contempt ? Alas I alas ! we have indeed fallen
from our boasted character.

The following is from the Lisbon Gazelles
to the 6th inst. inclusive. It will he seen that
Don MIGUEL admits having acted all along
with duplicity in his professions of adherence to
the Constitution. He made promises which he
knew he could not abide by, on coming into power.
But he forgets that unless he had made these
promises, there was no chance for his becoming
King. He swore falsely to gain his purpose,
which having obtained, he takes credit to him-
self for telling the truth! Impious idol of a
worthless Priesthood !

The non-official part of the Gazette contains an article
of six columns, in reply to the protest of the Alarquis de
Rezende and the Viscount Itabayana, published in the
English papers of 16th August.
" The cause of the Portuguese nation, which was sup.
planted since the death of Don John VI., by a faction
whose chiefs had prepared during the lifetime of that mo-
narch, and effected on his death the subjection of the Por-
tuguese people to a foreign sovereign, could not be sup-
ported and defended so long as the legitimate heir to the
throne was not among us, since there was danger that
we might not possess him so soon, and, perhaps, we
might have possessed hint sooner, had not the loyal
Portuguese, who first attempted to proclaim him in 1626,
been ill-advised, and perhaps deceived. At length the
King found himself under the nesessity of assuring Europe
that he was coming to govern us for his august brother;
but as his rights and those of the Portuguese nation are
laid down in the fundamental laws of the monarchy, his
Majesty, notwithstanding any promises he had made,
could neither alter than nor deprive the nation of the rights
and privileges given to it by the presumptive compact, and
other laws relative to the succession to the crown."

The article then proceeds t• assume, that Don
Pedro, having become a foreigner by accepting the
throne of Brazil, Don Miguel was the only son of King
John, who retained the rights of a Portuguese Prince-•-and
he having returned, Portugal had a right to throw off a
foreign yoke, and obey him who alone had a right to the
Crown.

SErr. s.—The Gazelle contains a list of Officers dis-
missed from his Majesty's service far having taken part in
the rebellion which commenced at Oporto on the 16th of
May.

There are many inclined to disbelieve the sur-
render of Madeira. The report is supposed to
be spread at Lisbon, as a herald to the wishes
