LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31. 1827,

We have received intelligence from Lisbon to the
19th inst. inclusive, of the highest importance. The
Rebels have been defeated at all points by the united
Constitutional forces under Count de VILLA FLOR,
assisted by the Generals AZKRBDO, CLAUDINO, and
MELLO.

It appears by the Count's despatch of the 14th inst.
that the Rebel Army, in consequence of this defeat,
retreated to the Portuguese towns situated nearest to

the Frontiers, but numbers had deserted their officers,
and joined the Constitutional Army, or were dis-
banded. In the same despatch the Count also states

that the garrison of Almeida had offered him posses-
sion of that fortress : and it appears by a bulletin,
issued on the 19th from the War Office, that the
Count accordingly took possession of Almeida on the
15th inst.; his despatch of which date states that the
Rebels had retired through the Portuguese villages,
and had passed into the Spanish Territories. Count
de VILLA FLOR terminates his despatch by stating
that the report of a 'Declaration of War by Spain, is
to be attributed to the supposed friendly reception
which the Rebels` who have crossed the Frontiers
have met with.

It was reported at Lisbon that upwards of 10,000
men had passed into Spain.
Private letters from Lisbon of the 19th inst. men-
tion that the disposition of the British Army has been
finally arranged. It is -determined that they are to
take up a line of positions on the Frontiers, from Elvas
to Almeida, for the declared purpose of preserving
Portugal from any aggression on the part of Spain.--
One division (M. General Sir E. BLAKENEY'S)
marched out of Lisbon on the 18th inst. in the direc-
tion of Santarem and Abrantes ; and the division
of M. General Sir R. ARBUTHNOT was to cross the
Tagus for.Elvas on the 20th.

The following are the interesting details of the

Campaign :

( From the Gazeta de Lisboa of Jan. 16.)
OFFICIAL REPORT.

WAR-Oretcf. J.; il4ost Illustrious Senhor—Since my pas..
sage to the right bank of the Mondego, the rebels have taken
the positions of Maceira, Chaves, Fornos, and Villa Mendo, as I
announced to your Excellency in my despatch, No. 30.
" On the 6th instant I was informed that they had marched in
the direction of Lapa, on the road of Larnega, which induced me
to presume that they would attempt to pass the Douro, at pko
de Regoa, to attack the Generals Marquis d'Angeja, and J. C. de
Mello, with very superior forces. To prevent this, I put this
division in march on the 7th, from Mangualde, on the Lamego
road, by Castendo and Ferreira, where the spies, whom I had
sent in different directions, informed me on the Bth, that the
rebels occupied the Bridge of Aguiar do Beira, Pennia Verde,
and Coruche.

4, Early on the 9th I verified the report of the spies; and,
taking an oblique direction to the right, marched upon the points
occupied by the enemy to attack there, wherein I succeeded, as I
have already had the honour to anuounce to your Excellency in

my preceding despatch, No. SS, in the mariner I :hall now de.
tail

" On the morning of the 9th I caused a junction of the division
to be formed on the heights of Ferreira, which could be completed
only by eight o'clock in the morning, on- account of the distances
at which the corps had been left, and on account of the badr,ess
of the roads for the artillery.
"At half-past eight the united forces marched on the road
of Coruche de Beira, and at a quarter of a league in advance of
this point we encountered the advanced posts of the rebels, who
were instantly attacked, and driven back upon their columns, who
appeared to occupy positions of very great strength on the heights,
which seem behind the latter place.
My Cacadores engaged immediately in a brisk fire with the
rebels, and in the mean while I formed two columns of attack
behind the curtain of the Cacadores, ordering the first, consisting
of the let, 10th, and 18th regiments of infantry, and the provi-
sional battalion of the contingents of the 22d, 23d, and 6th regi-
ments of infantry, the 11th regiment of cavalry, and one three-
pounder, under the command of Brigadier Jose Benedict de Mello,
to attack the left of the enemy's positions, whilst the other co-
lumn, consisting of the 4th and 13th provisional regiment of in-
fantry, commanded by General Claudino, and supported by the
brigade of cavalry, consisting of the Ist and 4th regiments, and
a troop of the 3d, commanded by Colonel 13ai:on de Sobrozo, and
eight pieces of artillery, attacked the position in front.
"The two columns advanced steadily to the attack in spite of a
dreadful discharge of artillery and musketry. The right column,
under Brigadier de Mello, after carrying the position, fell on the
rear of the enemy's line, which fled precipitately to the left, shel-
tering itself under a wood, the thickness of which formed a strong
entrenchment for it. I ordered, therefore a simultaneous attack
of both columns, which terminated in the flight of the rebels, who
were saved from total destruction by the setting in of night only. ,

" A troop of cavalry of the rebels charged the 9th battalion of
Cagadores, and te battalion of the 12th regiment of infantry, and
succeeded in taking some prisoners, but being instantly charged
by a troop of the 3d, commanded by Captain Caldeira, they ran
away. Your Excellency wilt perceive from the enclosed list, that
our loss was very inconsiderable, compared to that of the enemy,
who left sixty killed on the field of battle ; and tried his best to
carry off the wounded belonging to the regiment captured at
Braganza and Almeida, who must be very considerable in number.
‘‘ From the report No. 4, your Excellency will see that 160
serjeants and soldiers have come over from those whom the rebels
took prisoners at Braganza and Almeida. The militia, whom
they seduced, having completely disbanded themselves, and re-
turned to their homes. _

" The 6th battalion of Cacadores, which covered the extre-
mity of the left wing, rendered the greatest service, and notwith-
standing its being eharged by the cavalry, constantly maintained
its position. .

‘; It would be difficult to point eut any individuals of this di-
vision by name, to her Royal Highness the Princess Regent, for all
rivalled in doing their duty, and in meriting her confidence. I
cannot omit, nevertheless, to mention the co-operation of General
Aseredo, who accompanied me during the whole of the day, as
well as the distinguished conduct of General ClauOino, who com-
comanded the column, which made an attack in front ; and of
Brigadier Jose Benedicto de Mello, who commanded the column,
which attacked and turned the enemy's left, and which rendered
the greatest service during the whole of the day.
(The Count here praises the conduct of many other officers en-
gaged.) .

" From the enclosed Reports, Nos. 1,2, and 3, your Excellency
will see. the number of killed, wounded, awl prisoners, of those
lost and strayed, and of the prisoners which were taken from the
rebels, who, according to the last accounts, have lost in thin action
upwards of 1,000 men of the line and militias, who deserted them.
God preserve your Excellency.

EXTRACT OF OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.
WAR-OFFICE.-Count Villa for writes from Pinhel, on the
12th inetattt, that on the date thereof the whole of the forces
under his command spent the night in the above city, whither he
had advanced without any fresh occurrence. The rebels, since
the engagement on the 9th, occupied Almeida, Sinco Villas,
Villar de Torpim, and Malportida ; and that he has reason to
believe that it is their intention to pass into the Spanish territory.
The militia continues to desert the rebels. Of the 6th regi-
ment of infantry, upwards of 200 men, besides some Officers,
have already joined the said Count.

The loss of the rebels on the 9th was very considerable, they
had 200 wounded.

Lieutenant-General Stubbs writes from Oporto, on the 14th,
that Lieutenant-General the Marquis of Angeja occupied Villa
Real on the 12th, and Colonel Vasconcellos, of the 16th Regi-
ment, praises the good conduct of that corps.
Brigadier Jose Correa de Mello writes, from Villa Ponca de
Aguiar, to Lieutenant-General Stubbs, en the 11th, saying that
the militia -a Chaves has fled, disbands itself before him, and lays
down Its arms ; moreover, that the troops of his left wing have

ae t , whilst reconnoitring yesterday,
towards the Coa, I found that the rebels intended to dispute with
me the passage of the river ; in consequence of which I prepared to
march to-night, in order to be at break of day before Almeida,
the garrison of which place, consisting of the regiment of militia
of Toudella, has this day sent to-me, to offer me possession of that
place.
" The rebels have retreated to the Portuguese towns situated
nearest to the frontiers ; and it appears that, according to the tes-
timony of the Officers and soldiers who have deserted them, as it
is now represented tome, that the greatest discord reigns amongst
them, and that the soldiers accuse the Chiefs of having deceived
them.

LISBON, JAN. 19.—The following Bulletin has just been issued
from the War Department, the first copy of which I have pro-
cured. It is to appear to•morrow in the Gazette:-
- WAR DEPARTMENT, JAN. 19.-E:tract from the Official
Despatches received to-day in this Department :—" General
Count de Villa Flor writes from his head -quarters in Almeida, on
the 15th inst., stating that the rebels had retired on that day
through the Portuguese villages, and had passed into the Spanish
territory, and occupied Aldea do Bispo, and Villa de Clirvos.
" The same General having marched from Pinhel at day,
break on the same slay, ascended the Cabesco Negro (the Black
Hill), and sent out several reconnoitring parties towards the for-
tress of Almeida, to which he marched as soon as he discovered it
was unoccupied. The militia regiment of Tondella, which had
formed the garrison of it,' having, on the preceding night, marched
out to meet him, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Figuera de
Saldanha, who, for some time past, has kept up intelligence with
General Azeredo, with the intention of taking this step at the first
favourable opportunity. The two Generals ordered the regiment
to be disarmed immediately, and commanded the soldiers to return
to their homes, which seas accordingly done.
" Every day soldiers and officers, who had been prisoners in
the hands of the rebels, continue to present themselves to the
Count de Villa Flor.

" The Marquis of Angeja writes from Villa Real, on the 18th
and 14th of January, that all his corps had given hire the greatest
assistance, and that they had succeeded in occupying the bridges
of Montealegre, Villa Pouca d'Aguiar, and Villa Real, and that
he would endeavour to occupy Reguz.
" General Mello writes also from Villa Pouca d'Aguair, on the
4th instant, detailing his maineuvres, and praising the troops
ender his command; and stating that the corps of cavalry, Nos. 6
and 9, exhibited the finest spirit.
" General Jose Marie de Alonra writes from Valencia on the
13th, stating that Major Gueiroz had most courageously beaten
the Guerillas, who had attacked our lines in the province of
Minho ; and that detachments of the militia of Areos and Vienna
had conducted themselves most nobly in their skirmishes.
" The point on which all the first operations has taken place
is that before noted, near Almeida, in the province of Beira.
" I ant satisfied that the report of a declaration of war by Spain

is to be attributed to the eupposed friendly reception which the
rebels who have crossed the frontier have met with."

The Paris Papers of Sunday, which' reached us last
night, do not contain any intelligence of importance,
but the Etoile of Monday morning has an article front
the frontiers of Russia, to which we should have paid
but little attention, had it not appeared in the columns
of that Journal. This article states, that the princi-
ples proclaimed by Mr. CANNING, in his speech of
the 12th December, have given such offence to the
Emperor of R USSI A, that he has invited all the Courts
of Europe to take common measures in London to pre-
vent a repetition of such affronts, and has declared his
determination, if Mr. CANNING does not give a new
and satisfactory declaration, to cease all eommunicatioit
with him !

The Papers also contain a petition from Count de
PIAFFEN HOFFEN, claiming payment of a SUM Of
470,997 f., as a debt due to him from the King of
FRANCE, for having, in 1793, redeemed the baggage
of the Army of the Prince de CONDE. The motion
for passing to the Order of the. Day was, however,
carried, which seems to put an end to this and all
similar outstanding claims. We *subjoin the article
from the Etoilc to which we alluded:—

(From the Etoile dated Monday, Jan. 29.)
FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, JAN. 12.—The delay of the departure'
of the Marquis de Ribeaupierre for Constantinople gives rise to
various conjectures. As this Ambassador, as is well known, is to
act in concert with Mr. Stratford Canning in what regards the
pacification of Greece, it is natural to suppose that some defay
must have been agreed upon ; the more so, as a report is spread,,
that the principles proclaimed by Mr. Canning, in the Sitting of
the Parliament, on the 12th December, have made so disagreeable
an impression at St. Petersburgh, that the Emperor Nicholas has
addressed to all the Continental Courts a declaration, in which
the words employed by Mr. Canning are blamed with much
energy, and which contains an invitation to take steps in cotnmon
at London to prevent a . repetition of such affronts. Other ac-
counts from St. Petersburgli, which we cannot guarantee oaf
more than the preceding, say, that the Russian Cabinet is re-
solved, if Mr. Canning does not give a new and satisfactory de—
claration, to cease all negotiation with him.
We repeat, however, that this news requires confirmation.

. -
As for the Greek Question, a new understanding between the
Courts of London and St. Petersburgh would be a very unfor-
tunate event ; and if M. de Ribeaupierre had already set nut,
would leave much doubt of the speedy success of the negoeiations
commenced at Constantinople, in which the friends of Greece take
so lively an interest.

LIES OF THE DAY.
PARIS, JAN. 28.—The Courrier Francais—The managers of
the Vaudeville having asked permission to give to that theatre
the name of " Theatre of his Royal Highness the Duke of Bor-
deaux," M. de Riviere answered, that this permission could not
be granted, because his Royal Highness would never go to the play.
The Journal du Commerce—The Member who, by declaring
for sel'eral. amendments to the project of law, decided the nomina-
tion of M. Bonnet, is M. Miron de Lepinay.
The Constitutionnel—At the moment when the Ministry de-
nounces the Liberty of the Press, it causes to be printed in it,'
Journals insults against the first bodies of the State. The Etoile
has written, that those who attack the Jesuits are the successors of
Carrier.*

* The Etoile has received no orders to attack the Revolutionists
of the Constitutionnel ; but, from its hatred of the odious prin-
ciples which that Journal publishes every day, it has desired to en-
lighten public opinion with respect to the real tartujfis of these
times.—Note of the Etoile.

Since writing the above we have received the Paris
Papers of Monday, and the Etoile dated yesterday
morning. The French Funds have risen considerably,
in consequence, we presume, of the statement given in
a letter from Madrid, of the 21st, that General
LONGA and other Officers had been brought to a
Court Martial and displaced, for having transgressed
the orders they had received respecting the Portu-
guese refugees, and that the Official Journal of Spain
of the 18th contains a long article relative to Portugal,
in which the KING states, that while he is resolved to
repress revolution at home, he will not interfere in the
affairs of the neighbouring kingdom. We subjoin
the article :

(From the Etoile.)
" The Madrid Gazette announces that the last troops belong-
ing to tho Swiss brigade have quitted the Spanish capital.
A letter from Madrid of the 21st says:—" General Longs,
Captain-General of Old Castile, has been brought before a Court-
martial, as well as General Fleyres, Governor of Cuidad Rodrigo,
and Brigadier- General Llorente, Colonel of the regiment of the
Line, called the Prince's, for having transgressed the orders they
had received respecting the Portuguese refugees.
" The functions of Captain-General of Old Castile, are confided
to Gen. Potoux, the second in command, who enjoys the general
confidence.

" The orders to remove from the frontiers Gen. Canellas, and
all the Portuguese refugees, have been repeated.
" A letter from Lisbon of the 14th say., 'lt was said that
the English troops would march against the Portuguese refu-
gees, but this appeared to be a mere threat. M. de Villa Floc
was at Pinhel, after beating the refugees, of whom SOO or 400
had joined him.

"'Marshal Beresford was on the point of returning to Eng-
land.'

" The official journal of Spain, of the lath, contains a very long
article relative to Portugal. The substance of it miiy be given in
a few words :-‘ The changes in Portugal since the 31st of
July, when a new form of Government was announced, necessa-
rily inspired the Spanish Government with fears, lest the tran-
quillity of which Spain had so much need should be interrupted.
The King, while resolved to repress revolution at hone, will not
interfere in the affairs of the neighbouring kingdom.' "

CLOSE OF THE SESSION OF ASSEMBLY.
This most arduous Session has at length been brought to a
close. There has been more business gone through in it, and its
duration has been of greater length, than the oldest inhabitant can
recollect; and all trust the whole measures that have been
adopted by the Legislation, in this Session, will be of general benefit
to the island, and redound to its honour in the Mother Country. The
House met yesterday at 10 o'clock. After some preliminarybusiness
the usual standing committees for the recess were 'appointed, and
a message was sent to his Grace the Governor, stating that the
