SECOND DAY.

An immense crowd attended this morning at Chel-
sea, at an early hour ; but the doors of the Great Hall
were not thrown open until half past eleven o'clock,
when a most dreadful struggle for places ensued.
Generals Sir HEW DALRYMPLE, Sir ARTHUR
Wittutscav, and FERGUSON, had previously entered,
attended by several Officers as their friends.

The business of the day was begun by the Juno*
ADVOCATE reading letters from Sir HEW DALRYMPLE
to the Judge Advocate, explanatory of his conduct in
Portugal. Among others, a letter from Sir HEW DAL-
WIMPLE to Lord CASTLEREAGH, requesting the pro-
duction of the correspondence between his Lordship
as Secretary of State and the Portuguese Ambassa-
dor, respecting the line of conduct to be pursued with
respect to regaining possesion of Portugal. Lord
CASTLEREAGH'S answer was then read, agreeing to
produce the correspondence alluded to, with the ex-
ception of some communications with the Bishop of
OPORTO.

Here the JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL rose, and
stated that it would be advisable to refrain from all
puilication of the preunt proceeding: until hit Abyzerr's
pleasure war known with respect to any further pro-
ceeding:, and even until the result of these further pro-
ceecrutg: was blown alto. He added, that the cause
of justice demanded that the Court of Inquiry
should take steps to punish any breach of the pre-
sent injunction.

We are thus precluded from saying more at pre-
sent than merely, that up to the hour at which this
paper was put to press, the Court was occupied in
reading a voluminous correspondence, both private
and official.

Chairs were allotted on the left of the Board for
Generals DALRYMPLZ, WZLLZSLEY, FEttOLSONI and
their friends.

important supply. The Deputy Seignor Elola set out
on the same day for Aranjuez.
" Major-General Don Joseph Virues has assumed
