SECOND BULLETIN.

" The 3d Battalion of the 26th Regiment of the
line, and the Legion of the South, -:oinnianded by '
Colonel Moromsen, attacked on the '27th of June last,
the city of Beja, where 6000 armed rebels had bar-
ricaded themselves, defied our troops, and refused
them a passage ; notwithstanding the advantage of
tote position, nod the inequality of numbers, every
thing yielded to the impetuosity of our troops who
entered Beja in the midst of a great carnage—the !
rebels left 1200 dead in the field of battle ; all those, !
taken with arms in their hands, were put to the i
sword, and all the houses from which we had been
bred upon, were burned.
" Dacugna, who commands the rebels, cowardly
abandoned them at the beginning of the action. We
have to regret the loss of some brave men who fell
in the field of honour, among whom ate the Chief of
the battalion, Berthier, an oricer of met it ; the Chief
of battalion, Dein ; Captain Dubois, and the Sub-
Lieutenants Lausiere and Laconture, were slightly
wounded, after having distinguished themselves.—
The inhabitants of the town and territory of Beja, re-
stored to themselves by the dispersion of the rebels,
sent a respectable religious person to his Excellency
the Dude d'Abrantes, to implore his clemency ; re-
present their repentance; swear fidelity; confess that
they had been misled by the perfidious seductions of
the English, and acknowledge that they had been
justly chastised.

_
" His Excellency received this envoy with kind-
ness : order is re-established in Beja, and peace reigns
in that country.—licad-quarters, Edon, Jay 2.
" By orcl-r of Mwseigneur the Duke d'Abrantes, Common-
" der in Chief. (Signed) " Tui ERAU I T,
" General in Chief of the Staff."
THIRD BULLETIN.

" The spirit of insanity which had led astray the I
inhabitants of Beja, and rendered necessary the te:ri-
ble chastisement which that town has received, has
likewise existed in the North of Portugal. In thzir
delirium several towns had raised the standard of re-
volt, and led astray by culpable Priests and perfidious
foreigners, had taken the field. Their contingent
formed a corps of 7,000 men, which corps marching
upon Lisbon, announced that it came to destroy the
Fraich army. The Duke d'Abrantes, judging these
wretches more deserving of pity than anger, suspended
the effects of his anger, and endeavoured to procure
by persuasion, what it was easy for him to obtain by
force of arms.

With this view, and to spare the effusion of hl god,
he sent some intelligent persons to skew to the rebels
the folly of their project, the odiousness of their con-
duct, and die inutility of their efforts; bet this method
not succeeding, he sent, on the 22d of July, in the
morning, General Margaron, with the 3d battalion of
the 12th of light infantry, that of the 89d of the line,
the grenadiers and voltigeurs of the 47th and 58th,
six pieces of cannon, a squadron of horse chasseurs,
and a squadron of dragoons. This unexpected move-
ment stopped the enemy, and deranged all his combi-
nations ; he abandoned the idea of inclining upon Pe- i
niche, whence General Themieres marched upon tim,
and, being joined at Leyria by General Margaron,
on the 6th of July, attacked and defeated him.
Half of the troops and the- whole of the artillery,
were not engaged in this action ; the enemy left 600
dead on the field, on our side we had only one man
killed and a few wounded, while the loss of the enemy
would have been much more considerable had not
General Margaron restrained the indignation of his
troops. Thus will all those be defeated who dare to
imitate their example."
