Regency in garrison in that town, which, after 16 hours' fighting,
Were obliged to retreat, in consequence of a 'great pail of the 21st
regiment of the line going over to the rebels. They have since
taken tip their position at seven leagues beyond Bragenia, there to
await reinforcements from Lisbon. 'The troops' with whim the
retitle fonght consisted of only about 1,200 men, the force which

The GoVernor of Brageniza, 'Mine officers' belonging to the ad-

in the capital-of Portugal.—(See under the article of Paris, the
Portuguese news,)
We know now that the.diepositions which have been manifested
by our Cabinet, have compelled the Portuguese'refugees to preei-
fitate" their, departure. It aeons, that they have taken this step
in consequence of a conference which General Longa had at Val-
ladolid, with General Silveira. The ;after was informed that the
Cabinet of Madrid yielding to the urgent representations of divers
other Cabinets, and 1106(4'1101y to the threats of Mr. Lamb, was
011 the point of being forced to oppose itself 'to the departure of
the Portuguese refugees.' To-obviate the effect of itch a rites-
'Ore, and for the purpose of reicuing Spain front the singular re-
spontibilities attempted to be fixed to it, Silveira deterinined upon
-marching instantly, and the Marquis tie Chaves receiving the same
intelligence from hint did the same thing: After their departure
Orders arrived from Madrid.- General Longa left :Valladolid on
the V let of November, at the head of the hum Regiment of Ca-
