" FRONTIERS OF SPAIN, JAN. 3.—Letters from Saragossa
state, that an extraordinary courier had brought, orders from
Madrid for all the troops eantoned in Arragon to march imme-
diately to the frontiers of Portugal. It is thought that the troops
in the other provinces are to march to the same destination.
" The Journal de Paris, under the .head of Madrid, 28th of
December, says, that there are 24,000 Spanish troops on the
frontiers of Portugal, and orders have been given for all the troops
in the provinces to march."
(From the Quotidienne of Wednesday.)
" SALAMANCA, DEC. 26.—You have attached Some impor-
tance to the news sent you about the Royalists ; I therefore con-
tinue, and I expect I shall give you some pleasure by transmit-
ting a letter which I have just received from Lamego. It is from
one of the principal magistrates of that city. He informs the
junta that he has been proclaiming Don Miguel with enthusiasn :
" LAMEGO, DEC. 17.—Chaves has just left us ; he is gone to
Vizeu with his regular troops, leaving us merely some militia.—
Our provisional government is organized. You will see by the
printed proclamation which I send to you, what sentiments ani-
mate our population, and what is to be expected from them. It
was on the sth of this month that the country threw off foreign
domination ; some time before the arrival of Chaves, Royalist
meetings were secretly held in several convents ; the constitution,
which never had been published in this city, excited violent mur-
murs, because the people confounded it with the English domina-
tion. We love our King John VI. We respect Don Pedro, though
his conduct towards his father had given great offence to the no-
bility and venerable clergy, but Don Miguel is called to
reign over us by our fundamental laws. It is at this very

mouth, as it before had been in all hearts. At six o'clock in the
ttohethneatpioenopalleo,ptihnaiotn.th
morning of the 4th, we heard that the troops had received orders
to march off, but that the greater part refused to follow the con-
stitutional commander. The people then proceeded to the citadel,
to unite with those noble sons of Lusitania. The people and the
soldiers were then seen walking mixed together in the public street,
and congratulatiig each other as on days of public rejoicing. Mass
was celebrated, and the name of Don Miguel was blended with
the religious chant of the service. The Marchioness of Chaves
presided at this grand and noble scene. You would have been
delighted to have seen this heroine of chivalric times, this worthy
daughter of the Amarantes, proceeding through the streets of
Lainego, and rousing by eloquent speeches the enthusiasm of the
multitude. It was her speeches decided the garrison in our favour.
The Amarantes have always had great influence in this country ;
they were the enemies .1 that famous Marquis of Pombal, whose
descendants, worthy of their father, now wish to serve in the ranks
of Beresford. The hatred of the red coats is at its height. The
peasants come in innititudei into the town. On. the sth, the
principal inhabitants organized the Royalist movement ; a regency
•was formed, the choice was made by the Marchioness of Chaves,
and the persons chosen correspond to the greatness of the occasion.
You must have seen the names which the proclamation has com-
municated to you, and you know enough of the influence of those
families, to know what will be the result of this business.'
" PARIS, Jan. the news which we receive from the in-
terior and frontiers of Spain, announce, that orders have been de-
spatched into all the provinces of that kingdom, to march all the
disposable troops towards the frontiers of Portugal. By the end
of - December, the Spanish Army of Observation will amount to
24,000 men. At Madrid, and throughout the whole country, a
general clamour against England prevails. The speech and the
ultimatum of Mr. Canning have had the effect of obliterating all
shades of opinion, and of rousing to the highest degree the national
pride. There is now no longer in Spain, Apoatolicals, Negroes,
or Free-masons--none but enemies of English policy are to be
found there.
(From the Quotidienne of Tuesday.)
"Positive information which has reached us from the Penin
snla has made us acquainted with the force and- disposition of
the Royalist army of Portugal on the 15th of December. We
quote the date, because this army being at that time on the
march, and daily increasing by the militia which preceded it,
was augmenting in force in proportion as it approached to the
capital of the kingdom. We have been informed that before
quitting the province of Tras-os-Montes to go to that of Beira,
the Marquess de Chaves, the General in Chief of all the
Royalist troops, and the President of the junta of the Govern-
ment, had regulated the administration of the first of these pro-
vinces, and provided for its defence. He had armed all the po-
pulation of the towns and of the country, and bad charged some
corps of militia with the care of guarding the passages of the moun-
tains of Gerez and Morao, which separate l'Entre-Douro and
Minho from Tras-os-Montes. At his departure from Lamego for
Viseu, the Royalist army consisted of 10,000 troops of the line,
and of 18,000 or 20,000 partisans organized as guerillas. This
army was provided with a considerable materiel, and had its pay
secured for many months. The Marquis de Chaves commanded
the right wing. The centre, which Marched directly from La-
mego to Viseu, was under the orders of the Marquis Montalegre;

the left wing was conducted by General Jourdan. Such was the
army of the north at the moment in which it quitted the banks
of the Douro to approach the capital.

" In the south, the second regiment of the line, charged with
repressing the spirit of insurrection in the Algarves, having de-
clared itself against the Regency, the whole province had declared
Don Miguel King.

" In the east, the brigadier Magessi having under his order!
some militia, the 14th regiment of the line, and the Qd regiment I
of chasseurs, making in the whole 3,000 infantry, and 500 horse.
had advanced beyond Estremos at the close of November; but
obliged to give way to superior forces, this Royalist chieftain had
retired into Spain pursued by the Constitutionalists. During
this first excursion many officers and soldiers of the constitutional
army, under the orders of Villa Flor, had deserted to Magessi
After having waited some days in the environs of Alcantara,
from which he menaced, Lower Beira, the Brigadier Magessi took
all at once the direction of the north, and coursing along the
frontier of Portugal for 25 leagues, had appeared in the neigh-
hood of Almeida, of which the garrison shortly afterwards decla-
red for the Royalists, and he was proceeding to join at Setubal,
in Higher Beira, the left wing of the Royalist army under the
orders of Gen. Jourdan.

" It was this rapid movement of Magessi which had forced
Villa Flor to pass the Tagus and to join at Castel Branco, the com-
mander of Lower Beira ; but the insurrection of Guards, that of
Almeida, and the approach of the Royalist army of the north, bad
forced the two Constitutional leaders to retreat precipitately from
Belmont upon Castel Branco. It is probable, that from that place
they will have taken the road to Santarem, by the left bank of the
Tagus, in following the track of the commander of Elvas. At the
date of the letter from Which we have extracted these details, it
was unknown whether the right wing under the orders of the
Marquis de Chaves, was marching towards Coimbra, parallel
with the corps of the Marquis Mentalegre, or whether it had fol-
lowed the course of the Douro, to turn the positions of General
Stubbs upon the Tamega, and to march afterwards upon Oporto.
---- • -

" Whichever may be the case, it cannot be denied that towards
the middle of last December, almost all the hoops which remained
firm to the Regency received orders to concentrate themselves
near Lisbon, the last retreat of the Portuguese revolution. Even
the garrison of Elves had taken that direction. This movement
of concentration had not escaped the notice of the Royalist Gene-
rals, who had regulated their operations accordingly. We are
assured that Brigadier Magessi, after his junction with General
Jordan, had received orders to march towards the Tagus, to cover
by his right the left flank of the principal army, and to carry his
left into Alemtejo, pushing his guerillas on as far as Setubal. The
Royalist army thus forms a vast semicircle, of which the centre
and point of concentration is Lisbon.
" We recollect that the English Government has lately sent
large sums of money into Portugal. We are assured that a por-
tion of this money, amounting to 2,000,000 francl, was destined
to gain over the garrison of Almeida, and to retain it on the side
of the Regency, or rather of England ; but during its passage from
Lisbon to Almeida, these 2,000,000 francs were seized by a corps
of Constitutionalists, who availed themselves of that opportunity
to secure the arrears of their pay.

" We know, by a certain channel, that the French Minister has
received fro►n England, by express, despatches containing news
extremely favourable to the Portuguese Royalists. If we believe
the reports which are circulating this evening, this news would
declare still more than that which we have just been reading, and
this is probably a reason why the •Moniteur will to-morrow be
more silent than usual.

" We learn for certain that in the last month Mr. Lamb has
had brought to him, from London, by one of his couriers, a lady,
accompanied by a physician. We cannot believe that so much
attention would have, been paid to any person who was not des-
tined to do the honours of the house of that Ambassador. Tile
Etoile, which is in the secrets of British diplomacy, knows, as it
appears, better than we, the real motives of the journey of that
lady, since that journal pretends that Mr. Lamb would persist in
keeping his house closed."
(From the Journal des- Debats,)
tt VIENNA, DEC. 29.—There is a report here of the despatches
addressed by the Chancellery of State to Madrid and Lisbon, it
which our Cabinet renews the assurances of its sincere wishes for
the restoration of order in Portugal. It is added, that the Infant
Don Miguel carries on an active correspondence with the Princses
Regent, and that he condemns in the most positive manner the
conduct of those who abuse his name, to excite disorders in their
country.
‘.‘ PARIS, JAN. S.—The Memorial Bordelais of the 4th inst.
says—. The Spanish courier which arrived here yesterday, brought
no news from Portugal, and the.letters from Madrid, when they
speak of the corps of observation which is forming on the frontiersef
the new States, hold out the hope that peace will not be disturbed•

(From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.)
It is said that Sir William A'Court is going to be appointed
Ambassador at St. Petcrsburgh, and that Mr. Lamb, the ',Viol-
ater at Madrid, will be transferred in the same capacity to Lisbon'
It is reported that Mr. Lamb has demanded of the Spanish GO'
vernment, as a preliminary step to complete satisfaction, the dig'
missal of the Ministers and of all the authorities, civil as well 81
military, who have concurred, in the arming of the Portuguese re-
bels, and the causing these functionaries to be prosecuted before
the tribunals according to the law.
" One hundred thousand muskets hare, they say, been knit
purchased in France by Spain, for 15 francs each, and are to be
sent into that country by the way of Bayonne. It is not knovrn
who will pay this 1,500,000 francs. If the convents cannot
subscribe that sum, M. de Villele will place it, without doubt'
as he did the other expences of the war of Spain, to the account
of the budget.
"We hare received to-day a letter from Toulouse, in which
our correspondent tells us that he had read in the Journal de la
Haute Garonne of the same day, that on the 29th of December
King Ferdinand, in consequence of an insurrection excited by the
monks, had abdicated in favour of his brother Don Carlos. Oar
correspondent adds, that this intelligence has been inserted in onlY
a small number of the copies of that journal. This news still re
quires confirmation.

" The Precurseur of Lyons of the sth of this month contains
the following article :—' We have received to-day at Lyons letters
which confirm the news of the last revolution which took place
at Constantinople. These letters assure us that the Sultan Ma"
hornet has been murdered.'
" We think that if such an event had taken place at Constan-
tinople, the Government would have been informed of it before

PORTABLE GAS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

London Portable Gas Office, 7, Basinghall-street, Jan. 19'
Six—An erroneous account of the accident which happened n;
the Thames Tunnel having appeared in many of the Journals,
trust to your candour to insert the following statement :

For twelve months past Mr. Brunel has made nse of portable
gas to light the above-mentioned great national undertaking. On
Monday last, from some inattention, a large gas.lamp, containing
84 feet of gas, was precipitated from the top to the bottom of the
deep shaft, and falling upon a hard sharp pointed substance,
bole of about half an inch in diameter was pierced in one of the,
hemispherical ends of the wrought-iron cylinder. The condense°
gas of course immediately rushed ont with great noise, and e%
pending to its common volume, was inflamed by spreading to asd,.
communicating with the lights in the shaft, whereby several 03
the workmen were more or less severely scorched. lam hapPY,
however, to hear that none of them were dangerously injured.
The whole circumstances ought to convince every impartial
person of the superior safety of portable gas over every other
method yet known of using that brilliant light. Had a large
pipe, conveying gas in the common method, been accidentallf
broken in the tunnel, and an indefinite quantity of gas bad.
thereby escaped, an explosive mixture might have been formed,
similar to what very frequently occurs in coal-pits, and the cone'
quences in such a case would have been truly dreadful; such le
contingency ought for ever to .preclude the use of pipe-gas in
tinder-ground or in confined situations.
As a satisfactory evidence that the lamp which fell to the bot-
tom of the shaft neither exploded nor burst, I have caused it to be
brought to this place for the inspection of those who may be de-
sirous to see it.

I am your most obedient bumble servant,
DAVID GORDON, Managing Engineer.

VULTURE SHOT IN SOMERSETSHIRE.-'--A VUI'
tore was shot in June last, at Kaye, near Bridgewater, in Sourer'
setshire• It was first observed walking on a read, and, on being
pursued, flew towards the coast of the Bristol Channel, distant
about a mile, when it was found sitting on the beach, and shot.'
It had recently gorged itself with a putrid lamb, which may pro'
bably have been the cause of its allowing itself being approached
within shot ; on opening it for the purpose of stuffing, the smell
was excessively offensive. Another bird, apparently of the salve)
species, was seen near the place where this was killed, but
evaded pursuit. The specimen killed measured from the tip 9!
the beak to the end of the tail, two feet three inches ; from thr
tip of one wing to the tip of the other, five feet six inches and

LONDON,
SATURIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, ,1827.

We have received the French Papers of Tuesday
and. Wednesday, and the Etoile dated Thursday morn-
ing, from which we have inserted various extracts,
principally relative to the affairs of Spain and Por-
tugal. They furnish us, however, with vague and
contradictory reports only, and do not communicate
the final course determined upon by FERDINAND and
his Ministers. The Quotidienne now swells the
force collected on the frontiers of Portugal under
General RODIL to 24,000, and describes the situation
of the Royalists' in Portugal as being much more
Prosperous than there is reason to believe it actually is.
The new law for the restriction of the press occupies
the chief part of the columns of all the papers, amongst
which there is a complete unanimity of feeling on this
subject ; but the power of public opinion in France is
not so irresistible as it generally proves to te in Eng-
land. The prosecution against the Courier Francais
has not terminated in a manner which can be deethed
very satisfactory by the French Ministers. The
article complained of was pronounced by the Court
as not exciting hatred and contempt of the KING'S
Government, but only insulting the public authority,
and a discussion and censure more or less severe on
the proposed law respecting the press. The respon-
sible Editor was, therefore, condemned to fifteen days
imprisonment, a fine of 300 Francs, and the costs.

New York Papers to the 19th, and Philadelphia
Papers to the 21st ult. reached us last night. They will
enable us to complete the series of the official docu-
ments presented to Congress upon the subject in dis-
pute between this country and the United States.
These documents, which we shall publish on Monday,
consist of letters which passed between Mr. VAUGHAN,
his MAJESTY'S Minister at Washington, and Mr.
CLAY, the American Secretary of State. The Na-
tional
Intelligences, of the 11th December, an-
nounces the
bringing with arrival of Mr. KING at Washington,
him, according to rumour, a Conven-
tion entered into with the British Government relative
to the claims of American citizens for property taken
Iduring the late war, respecting which differences of
opinion had existed between the Commissioners sit-
ting at Washington, under the authority of the two
.Governments. By this Convention it was rumoured
that Great Britain agrees to pay a
.specific sum at once,
leaving the distribution of that sum to be regulated
by the Government of the United States. With this
"ception, these Papers contain but little interesting
matter. They mention, with satisfaction, the respect
paid in Colombia to the memory of the late Ex-Presi-
dents JEFFERSON and ADAMS ; and at the same time
put us in possession of the following articles from
Bogota, dated November 6, announcing that BoLt-
VAR would arrive in that city on the 14th of that
month:—

REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA.
" Office of Secretary of State and of Foreign Relations.
RocoTA, Nov. 6.—The iminense debt that Colombia owes
to the Liberator, and her esteem for him, founded on the benefits
he has conferred on her, induces her to regard his return to our
territory as a fortunate occurrence to the Republic. You are a
Muses of the exstacy with which the people, at all points,
Ii !Ito preparing for this event, and hence I am induced to suppose
will be satisfactory to he notified, that the President Liberator
Will arrive here on the 14th instant.
Ri" Nis public life has been a model of devotion to his country.
iffees latifri!ces and his efforts have always been alike applicable and
when:72 and no* scarcely does he touch the soil of Colombia,
his influence and persuasion, he has succeeded in re.,

claiming from their errors several municipalitie's, and is com-
pletely restoring constitutional order in the departments of the
Equator, Guayaquil, and Aznay. These are strong reasons for
believing that his voice will produce similar effects in Venezuela,
which regrets already its inconsiderate resolution ; and it is a
high gratification for me to be able to give this proof of the Union
which will henceforth strengthen Colombia, and of the realisation
of the wishes of the Executive.

I am, with perfect respect, &c.
" JOSEPH R. REVENGA."

COLOMBIA.

" Office of the Mercantile Advertiser.

" We are favoured with a Bogota Paper of the 26th of October,
which contains a dispatch to the Government from the Intendant
of Ecuader, with a copy of the proceedings at Quito, relative to
the investment of Bolivar with the Dictatorship, and expressing
the hope that all the departments may be unanimous in the adop-
tion of similar measures.

" The reply of the Secretary of State, is dated Oct. 8. He
states that he is directed to answer that the Executive of Colombia
recognises no Acta in contradiction with the political Code which
it received from the Colombian people, to carry into execution and
cause to be respected ; and that so long as the individual exercising
it, as at the head of the Government, and one single town adheres
to the Constitution, his Excellency the Vice-President will support
it with constancy, and sacrifice his fortune and life in its defence.

" Another paragraph of the answer says, " To all the reasons
alleged in the acts of Guayaquil, &c. I must add on the part of
the Government this, that the Liberator President has no neces-
sity for a Dictatorship. which of itself is sufficient to make every
freeman shudder, and from the illegal, tumultueus, and improper
way in which it was decreed, becomes absolutely detestable. The
Liberator President, as Chief Magistrate, can assume the Govern-
ment of the Republic, and in the constitution will find all the
powers necessary to save it from the dangers both domestic and
foreign, of which so lively and exaggerated a picture has been
drawn."

We learn by letters from Jamaica to the 23d-Noy.,
which reached town last night, that a revolution had
taken place in St. Domingo, in consequence, as it is
said, of the coercive measures resorted to for the pur-
pose of enforcing the free labourers to cultivate the
soil for their own maintenance, and towards the sup-
port of the Government. No details of this event
have yet reached us. Mr. LISTER, our Vice-Con-
sul at St. Domingo, had arrived in Jamaica in an
American vessel, from Hayti, having landed near Port
Antonio, from whence he sent despatches to the Go-
vernor, and to Vice-Admiral Sir L. HALSTED. The
latter immediately ordered his Majesty's sloop Harle-
quin to proceed to Port-au-Prince, for the purpose of
affording protection to the British subjects resident
there. It was expected that other ships of war would
be forthwith sent to St. Domingo.

We have already offered some remarks on the
correspondence which took place in the autumn,
between Mr. CANNING and Mr. GALLATIN, re-
garding the trade of American vessels with our Colonies
in the West Indies, and we may, perhaps, again revert to
the subject. The luminous statement of Mr. CANNING,
ought to have put the question to rest ; but in the
PRESIDENT'S Message to Congress, given by us some
days since, ,there is evidently a feeling of soreness on
that subject; owing, perhaps, as often happens,
to a conviction of being in the wrong. What
may be the result of the negotiations now pending,
it is -impossible for us to foretel, but we should be
sorry to anticipate any interruption of the friendly
relations at present subsisting between Great Britain
and the United States of America. Connected as
they are by the ties of blood and a common origin,
speaking the same language, and animated by a like
spirit. of liberty—nothing seems so unnatural as a war
between them.

For what can either nation gain by war ? Great
Britain, from her insular position, cannot well, if it
were desirable, extend her European territories, but
clearly not by hostilities carried can with a transatlantic
enemy ;—and possessing herself of a greater portion of
America, would be a very dubious benefit. Rich and
free, and honoured amongst the nations, formidable on
land, and paramount at sea, what could an extension of
her colonies avail her ? Do not a hundred millions in
" the clime of the East," own her sway ? And would
not that of itself be sufficient as foreign territory ?
Machiavelian policy might dictate the expediency► of
frequent quarrels with the United States, in order to pre-
vent the growth of their Navy. But England has never
drawn the sword as the aggressor, and we hope she never
will. Providence has hitherto enabled her to defeat
the most formidable coalitions of her most deadly foes,
and on that Providence she may continue to trust,
whilst she seeks her honour and her glory in protecting
and avenging, not in conquering and ravaging, the other
nations of the world.

But, on the other hand, what advantage could
the United States derive from hostilities with
England ? Do they want an extension of ter-
ritory, and are their wilds and forests capable of
no farther cultivation ? Is the population so
dense that it requires to be thinned in fields
of carnage ?
If the acquisition of Canada is still their
ruling passion, we would remind them that no strength
can be gained by adding a population which will never
amalgamate. with theirs. Or because in the late war they
captured two or three of our frigates, with what were
really line-of-battle ships, though under a different de-
signation, are they so infatuated as to think that they
can cope with the navy of Britain ? Who can predict what
may take place in the revolution of ages, but at pre-
sent their whole Navy would not amount numerically
to one of our Fleets. No,—America has nothing to do
with war whilst she can honourably keep clear of it.
Let her husband her strength for repelling aggression—
she has at present enough to occupy her at home.
Beauteous, indeed, is the plant of Freedom, but the
rank luxuriance of the American soil rears weeds along
with it. It gives rise to a style of manners capable of
much improvement, by an intercourse with the polished
nations of Europe. But above all, we would invite
her to imitate England in that pre-eminent national
and individual regard to truth, which has done more
to raise the character of Britons than all the courage
of her warriors, and all the wisdom of her Senators.

The Allgenzeine Zeitung, of the sth instant, re-
ceived this morning, contains another specimen of the
savage brutality exercised by the Turks towards the
unfortunate Greeks. In the present instance, it is a
gratuitous outrage perpetrated on the score of religious
intolerance :

IlArou DI ROMANIA, OCT. S.
Ibrahim, in his last excursion to Calavrita, was guilty of an
of cruelty which makes every Christian shudder. A Monk, "
years of age, well known for, his ascetic life, was attacked b e

detachment of Egyptian troops on the day of the Elevation of the
Cross at the moment he was performing mass, and dragged
before Ibrahim, with a great many Christians who were present
at the ceremony. The cruel Satrap, without a moment's hesita-
tion, gave orders to cut these unfortunate people to pieces, whose
only crime was being Christians. This cruelty has caused a great
sensation, the monk in question being generally venerated.

Frankfort Papers of 'the 6th inst. have been received
this morning, but they contain nothing of particular in-
terest. It appears that the neighbourhood of Carls-
ruhe is at present infested by a gang of 500 thieves
and robbers, who play all manner of legerdemain tricks
upon the inhabitants to such an extent, that the police
magistrates have been under the necessity to publish a
warning to the workers of iniquity.

A vessel which sailed, on the 26th, from Oporto, has touched at
Poole, on her voyage to Jersey. We do not find that any news
has been received by this arrival.

Carthagena Papers have been received to the Sd November at
the North and South American Coffee House. They confirm in
every respect ,the accounts already received of the arrival of Bolivar
in Colombia. They add, that the cities of St. Martha and Rio
Hacha, and also that the towns of Solidad and Barraquilla, &c.
agree with this Capital in investing the Liberator with every
power necessary to establish order and union. They
also contain a Proclamation from one Juan Jose Argote,
Intendant of the department of the Isthmus of Panama, dated
October 16, announcing the arrival of the Liberator of Guayaquil
on the 12th September, and on the 18th he proceeded for Bogota.

of the present account, and, although the public are shy in mak-
ing investments at the present prices, still the speculators make
