BRUTAL TANATWINT 'ON" TWO BRIM,
OFFICZUS IN POATVOAL.—Friday evening in-
deed the Sandwich packet, Schuyler commander,
from Lisbon, in 12 daye; left there the Fieneh
squadron as before. On the of Augnet, a
French brig of 20 guns arrived, and the French
Admiral's fin was immediately shifted from the
arisen to the foremast and on the 7th inst. the
Sandwich passed a large French frigate 'rang into
Lisbon, and on the same day a French brig of war
steering for the Rock. Our acciiinti from Listen
by this conveyance state, Riot every thing was ap-
parently tranquil in that city, but that the Mi-
gueLtee were carrying on a war of extermination
against the Constitutionalists ; thit murders and
assassinations were fzetpient, and ductile prisons
were so crowded, and the unfortunate labiate' in
such a state of destitution, that death was consi-
dered a happy retells. Our countrymen appear to
be marked olds" nrdetestntiom to the Miguslites.
Several Englishmen, we ire informed, have lately
been grossly insulted and ill-treated, and on the
Consul remonstrating with the Government, he
was informed that thosie who did not like it might
leave the entente.; I lieutenant; Parnell and
Plumy, of his Illivesty's'ship Briton, in taking an
excursion into the country, were attacked by a body
of peasants, robbed; and beaten with Wudgesos, in a
dreadful manner. They were afterwards found by
some countrywomen lying on the ground, almost
deed. With that sympathy which women seldom
fail to exercise for the distressed; they immediately
conveyed oar countrymen to the nearest cotter,
dressed their wounds, paid them every possible at-
tention, and, at length, had the happiness of seeing
them safely conveyed on board the Briton. Lieu-
tenants Parnell and Fitzroy were, however, in s
very pitiable condition.
