cations received at this Office to-day :
" General Claudino writes, from Sardao, on the 25th of this
month, the enemy was on his march to Mortagoa, where he was
to join General Azeredo, thus avoiding any incursion upon Coim-
bra, and were marching to Vizeu. General Azeredo writes from
blortagoa, on the 25th, confirming that the Marquess de Chaves
was in Vizeu, with the rebels under his command; he was wait-
ing for General Claudino to advance to Tendella, Vizeu, &c.
" General Stubbs writes from Oporto on the 23d and 24th,
that he had received no news from the ports on the Tamega. The
Marquess de Angeja informed General Stubbs, that the troops of
Colonel Zagallo, which occupy the bridge of Misarella, were at-
tacked on the 22d by 400 or 500 men qf the Corps of Cavalry,
but dis Mounted, Militia and Guerilla.s : some being killed and
wounded, the rebels were repulsed. The same Marquess set out
for Salamonde on the 23d.

" Brigadier-General Joao da Silveira writes from Covilha on
the-22d I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the
Portarca of the 16th of this month, and to request your Excel-
lency to be pleased to acquaint her Serene Highness the Infanta
Regent, that notwithstanding my bad health, which was observed
by the Generals Conde.and Villa Flor, I have done all that was in
my power to co-operate with the said General for the good of the
Royal service, and for the prompt execution of the will of htr
Serene Highness ; and that, though some of my relations have
r.3t been faithful to the King, Don Pedro IV., as they ought, I
will be so, and will continue to serve with honour and fidelity, in
whatever her Royal Highness shall determine.
The Conde de Villa Flor writes from Covilha, on the same
day (the 22d), at eleven at night, that the division under his
command occupied Caria Peraboa, and that town (Covilha) ; that
Joao da Silveira marched that (lay to Belmonte and Lortilha, and
having ordered a reconoissance to be made towards Penamacor
on the 20th, a piquet of cavalry dispersed a corps of guerillas,
and that the Count had given orders to garrison that place with
militia.
" The Count marched on the 23d to the Guarda, and would
thence follow the motions of the rebels. All the Provinces remain
in the most perfect tranquillity.

_ WAR OFFICE,- Dec. so;
Extract from the official communications received to-day at
this office:—
" The Marquis de Angeja writes from his head-quarters in the
Ponsadouris on the 23d, and detailing preceding circumstances,
says, That on the 21st of this month the advanced posts of
Colonel Zagallo, placed in the Ferrel and on the bridge of Misa-
rella, were atywled by a force of about five-hundred men, com-
manded by the rebel Agostinho Cachapur, who calls himself Co..
lonel, &c. &e.' This force was composed of veterans, dismounted
seldiera of the 6th and 9th regiments of cavalry, and many pea-
sants, well armed with Spanish arms, commanded by officers of
veterans and of cavalry. The first attack was upon the Ferrel,
which was bravely defended by some companies of the 9th regi-
ment of infantry, commanded by Captains Jose Luiz de Brito,
Duarte de Sa Ozorio, and Lieutenant Jose Brendan de Castro,
which companies were supported by:some chasseurs of No. 12.
Major Leopoldo says, the Marquis was, at the same time, ordered
to occupy the bridge of the Arco ; and the rear of the rebels being
thus threatened, they were beaten and dispersed. The rebels left
behind 5 killed and 16 prisoners, and our soldiers had some
wounded. Colonel Zagallo gives the greatest praise to all the
troops that he commanded. The inhabitants of Reuvaes afforded
the most generous assistance to all the soldiers who were engaged
on that day. The Marquis de Angeja says, that Colonel Zagallo,
zho directed those mevements, deserves great praise.
,71,e Marquess de Angeja- writes from his head-quarters at
Braga, on i,-!,‘e 26th, saying, ' That, having ordered General Jose
Correa de Mello id Make some reconnoissances on the roads lead-
ing to the different points on the line of the Tamega, they were
made on the 24th•, Major Antonio de Gouvea Vasconcelles,
marched, with sixty men, to Telhado, by Quembro ; this force of
.the 21st- Regiment of Foot, united with a detachment of Chas-
seurs, No.. 10, defeated in that direction large corps of Guerillas,
who left four dead on the field, and five prisoners, including an
Ensign. The whole corps merited the commendations of its
commanders. Capt. Ozorio, who advanced by the road of Mon-
'tealegre, beat, Paradella, another Guerilla force, from which
he took some provisions, horses, &c.'
' "The detachments which marched between the Salto and
Cavez, also met with several Guerillas, which they repulsed and
'defeated. The 12th Regiment of Infantry behaved bravely in
these actions.
" The same General continues, saying, ' That the regiments of
militia of the province of Tras-os-Montes having repassed the
Douro, and the Guerillas being almost as numerous as the popu-
lation, the movement of General Mello could not be made with
the rapidity that was desired. Colonel Ignacio Pereira, of the
regiment of Commie, has approached the position with his Gue-
rilla, where he saw a great many Portuguese rebels. Almost all
of this province of Minho is threatened, some Spanish forces
having approached the frontiers.'
" General Azeredo writes on the 27th from Tondella, which
he entered the same day, the vanguard of rebels having retired
from it, after having plundered some houses in the town. The
same General writes, that he had information that the corps of
the Rebels was retiring from Vizeu by the road of Mangualde.
" To-morrow (says the same General) I continue my march
towards Vizeu, and thence 1 shall follow the retreat of the
Rebels, it not being possible to overtake them unless they stop in
some position, because they are Ave leagues is advance of me.'
" Count de Villa Flor writes from Gnarda, of the 25th of this
month, announcing hie march to Clerieo, as the beginning of
further operations. The same General wrote, on the 24th, that
the .Militia _of Lamego and Miranda, united with forty Chas-
senrs and forty horsemen of different corps, and some Guerillas,
endeavoured to oppose his entrance into Guarda, but they were
courageously beaten by the battalion of the Ist regiment of foot,
and chasseurs, No. 6, flying precipitately in the direction of Al-
meida. The force of the rebels was commanded by Viscount de
Mosellos, President of the Junta established in Guarda.
" I have learnt (says the Count) that Almeida was in the
bands of the rebels, and from all that I have learnt respecting this
affair, I conclude that the fall of that place was owing to the ill-
ness of General Pego, and still more to the disloyal conduct of
Colonel fleuari°' of the 10th Regiment of Cavalry. Magessi
was at AlmeLl.4* Telles Jordao at Ausur. Guarda was nearly
deserted ; a great mart of the inhabitants having left it with the
rebels, and others tieing" obliged, like them, to do so.'

THE LATE DUKE OF YORK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stu,—At this moment, when a nation's sorrow is universally
felt for the illustrious Prince whose loss we mourn, let us not
allow that pervading, sympathetic feeling to pass without the de-
monstration of due attachment to his exalted merit, nor suffer
the sacred remains.to he deposited in the silent tomb, ere there be
commenced a National Tribute of Esteem, for 'those public ser-
vices, which otherwise must live only in the historic page ; nor
permit the hour of deep and unfeigned lamentation to escape,
without recording an act so honorable to the character of the na-
tion which shall effect it ; and wherein can there be a better
means of evincing the feeling of a grateful Public to the memory
of a beloved Prince, whose life was devoted to their service, than
by the most extended and general public subscription for erecting
the personal resemblance of his once noble mien and majestic
figure, whose accomplishment, in the form of a Colossal Statue,
could not be better consigned than to the brilliant and effective
chissel of a Chantrey.
Its station could not be more eligible than on that Parade,
where, in youthful days, the much lamented Prince was wont to
be so frequent in attendance, and nigh to which, in riper years,
the Royal Duke, devoted himself in unremitting and successful la-
bour to the improvement of the British Army in all its bearings.
Again, this spot, as fronting the Palace of his much-beloved
Royal Brother, will be alike congenial to the feelings of our gracious
and most benevolent Monarch, whilst it will likewise afford the
constant opportunity to the British soldier, together with the
general public, of viewing this tribute of grateful remembrance.
Were the inscription on the pedestal supporting the figure to
be simply the following :
