INSURRECTION IN PORTUGAL.
We have received this forenoon, by Express from
Paris, tie following imcnrtant intelligence:

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH

PROM BAYONNE, RECEIVED AT PARIS, 12T11 JUNE.

THE MAJOR-GENERAL TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MI.

NISTER AT WAR.

". The 29th of May the Portuguese troops de-
clared against the Constitution. The Infant Don
INlichael is at the head of this movement, which was
followed by the whole garrison of Lisbon, with the
exception of one Regiment.
" The King 1::s declared his attachment to the
Constitution.

" The Cortes have declared themselves permanent.
The Sitting of the 30th of May was very stormy.
His Majesty has cliosen a new Ministry from

among the Cortes."
The weather being extremely hazy it is not certain
that this was the whole of the dispatch, but the
above is all that has yet transpired.

The French Papers of Wednesday and Thursday I
have been received. The Journal des Debats asserts, ,
on the authority of a person stated to have left Se-
ville on the 2d inst. that the city was in the greatest
ferment, and that the battalion of marines had evinced
a determination not to suffer the KING to be removed.
The Regency at Madrid is organizing the Spanish
Royal Guard, and will shortly summon, in the name
of FERDINAND, the garrisons of St. Sebastian, Pam-
peluna, and other strong places.
A Spanish Royalist corps of three thousand men.
precedes the French column which is advancing from
Madrid upon Seville by Cordova.
General CURIAL. has bad an engagement with MI-
LANs and LLORERA, at Granolles, in which the vic.
tory, as usual, is claimed by the French.
The Etoile contains two Proclamations by the Ma-
drid Regency, one addressed to the Army ; the ether
i addressed to the Spanish nation, and forms a power-
ful appeal in behalf of their captive King. The Re-
gency pleedges itself in the most unqualified and ener-
getic manner to combine all its efforts with those of
the French army for the purpose of restoring FERDI-
NAND to liberty.

" REPORT OF M. THE MAJOR-GENERAL TO lIIS EXCEL.
LENCY THR MINISTER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR
Tt5E WAR DEPARTMENT.
" The division Ilourck continued its movement upon Leon.
The :-.lvance-guard of this division.' commanded by 111. the
Attjor- General Court de la Ruch' Jacquelin, occupied that
to.vn on the 31st of May.
Ott the Ist of June, a reconnoitring detachment of 100 ca-
-4.-tlry, supportxd by 200 infantry, marched upon Astorga. On
,d, at day-break, this detachment fell in with the enemy's
rezr-guard, about a league distant from, and on this side of
Astorga, composed of 1000 men, of wftom 500 were cavalry,
prepared to retire. Our chasseurs and hussars instantly
eitarsed the enemy, threw their ranks into disorder, and put-
s ,ed them a team and a half beyond Asturga. Twelve or fifteen
roen killed, and a great number wounded ; 150 prisoners
zn•torsit whom ate Major-General Santiago Wall, and the
(Chef d'Eseadron Manuel-Marie Romero), are the result of this
brilliant affaii of the advance-guard.
• 11. the Count de la itc.che Jacquelin cites with distinction
31. the Chef d'Eseadron Vidal, of the Ist Hussars, who com-
manded this reconnoitring detachment, and who skilfully pro-
fited by the hesitation of the enemy; M. the Captain Fernal,
nis Aide-de-Camp; M. Alingsy, his Officer d'Ordonnance; M.
Moesoudun, Officer d'Ordonnance of General Bourck ; M.

Cretet, Captah. in the 7th Chassenrs ; M. de Gironst,

soner; M. Jolean, Lieutenant in the Ist Regiment of Hussars;
the Marechaux des Loris Dartis and Lacroix ; the Brigadiers
Blanc and Samson; and the chasseurs Laurent and Beleden.
" Head-quarters at Madrid, June 6, 1823.
" By older of his Royal Highness,
" The Major-General, Count GulLLEmixo.r."
The Marquis de Talaru set off on Tuesday morn-
ing at eleven o'clock, with some of his Secretaries ;
and the remainder of the legation will set off to-day
(Wednesday).
The Marquis de Warn is nominated Ambassador
of France to King Ferdinand, and accredited as such
to the Regency dosing the captivity of the King.
The C.onstitationarl announces the arrival of the
Duke de San Carlos as Ambassador from the Re-
gency to the Court of France.
A new journal, published at Madrid, under the
auspices of tilt rebel government, and called The
Royalist, under date of the 27th May, says, " Mo-
rillo is arrived at Ciudad Rodrigo from Astorga,
doubtless in the intention of ravaging that district,
abounding with cattle, and tich in agricultural pro-
duce. Ii would be exceedingly desirable that a
strong column should be promptly detached to clear
that country of these men, who will continue to
cherish hopes of success as long as they remain
masters of the positions which they have maintained:'

PRIVATE LETTER
FROM bull. OWN CORRESPONDENT. •
" PARIS, TIIURSDAT EvaNtxa
" The French Papers will give all the news that it
is wished by the Government should transpire. Some
of the Opposition Journals, however, now and then
get hold of an unwelcome truth, which they generally
clothe with such embellishments as to make it even
bear the appearance of fiction. In England political
reports influence the funds ; here the funds influence
the reports; and, as every why has its wherefore, n•
Sooner has a difference of SO or 40 cents taken place
on 'Change, than it is accounted for by some good
or ill news that has been received from Spain. In
good truth, however, political events hive very little
effect on the funds here, which can be raised or lowered
one per cent. at the will of the Minister any day.
" Count Abisbal, whose career is finished in Spain
by the distrust which he has excited of his conduct
in all Spaniards, will return to France, where he is
preceded by strong recommendations.
" A report is circulated that Ballasteros has taken
Saragossa. Letters from that city, of the 25th May,
state that he had levied a contribution of 100,000
piastres, which had given great support to the Con,
stitutionalists.
" Accounts from Puycerda state that Mina, wfici
was at Seu d'Urgel on the 4th inst, had since made.
a rapid movement on Balaguer, and thus again
escaped from the French Generals, who have so often'
thought they would make sore of him. In Catalonia
the war may long be continued by a General of Mina's
courage, talents, and perseverance; unless, indeed, it
should be suddenly finished by a total overthrow of
the French, which does not seem very improbable.
" The arrival of General Manso in Upper Cata-
lonia, with 6000 men, is confirmed by letters from
various quarters. It is said, that as soon as this cit..'
cumstance was known, there was a great Military'
Council held at the head-quarters of the Fourth Carps.'
Manso was one of the most active partizans in the
last Peninsular war. He was originally a miller,
who, fired with indignation at the invasion of his
country, and smarting under personal wrongs, or-
ganized a guerilla party, which became very forMi-
dable. In the course of the war he attained high
rank in the armsy, but he still always wears a por-
tion of his millerl dress, which makes him very po-
' polar with the peasantry of Spain.
" Notwithstanding the confidence which the Pari-
sian Journals profess as to the speedy and successful
termination of the war in the Peninsula, it is certain,
that the more moderate of the Ministers are not so
very sanguine, and wish they were fairly out of' it. If,
however, Spain means to make a stand, it is certainly
time, for should a few of the Provinces where the
Constitution has been least popular, send their sub-
mission to the Regency, it would in all probability
damp the ardour of other parts of the kingdom,
where a better spirit now prevails. There is, however,
a danger on the other hand, that some successful en-
terprise on the part of the Spaniards may infuse a
new spirit in the country, or that it may be roused
by some indiscietion or excesses on the 'part of the
invaders, or their allies, the bands of the Faith.
" It is well known that in the late Peninsular war,
the greatest losses of the French were not in the field;
a spirit of hatred and revenge was kid died in the
breasts of the Spaniards, and men; women, and chit-',
dren were taught to consider it the highest duty to
Gorr and their country to. exterminate an enemy.
Should such a spirit again be generated ; it will not
be a reinforcement of 120,000 men, or of twelve
times that number that will conquer Spain ; but how-
ever no such spirit has yet manifested itself, and it is
evident that a considerable portion of Spaniards view
the struggle with indifference.
" The greatest obstacle to the speedy termination
of the war, either by negociation or otherwise, is the
known obstinacy or firmness of the Spanish Minis-1
ters and the Cortes, whOm it will be difficuk to as-
sure of personal safety in case of the restoration of
Ferdinand to his former authofity. The removal ri

the King from Seville to Cadiz has, no-doubt, taken
place before now. This place has always been the
city of refuge' from the political storms of Spain.
and if it continues faithful to the Constitution, the
Government may held out long enough, perhaps, to
rally the Spaniards. The possession of the King',
person is a strong hold the Government possesses, as.
many of the peasants, who acknowledge no
other, will not inquire whether he is a free agent or
not: The Cortes know thi,, and feeling
" That the King's name is a tower of strength,
" Which they on the advi:rse party want,"
will nut listen to any terms of peaceful arrangement
so long as they can posAly hold out."

A Gentleman who arrived this morning from
Barcelona states, that he saw MINA there, who was
preparing an expedition for the frontiers of France ;
he demanded of the inhabitants of Barcelona, five
thousand cockades, and several thousands of rations
for his troops, which was immediately complied
with; five hundred of the women of Barcelona have
formed themselves into a Corps, dressed in jackets
and armed with pikes, fully determined to lose their
lives in the defence of their city. INIINA'S Army is es-
timated by the informant at about 31 thousand well
disciplined troops.

Frankfort Papers to the Stil instant reached us this
forenoon. They state that the Farman granting par-
ticular privileges to the Turkish merchantmen has
been communicated to the Foreign Legations at Con-
stantinople. One of these Papers contains a letter
from Romano, in Moldavia, dated 10th May, deny-
ing a statement which appeared some time ago in the
Allgemeine Zeitung, stating that fifty Boyars and the
Archbishop Primate of Moldavia had been arrested.
The following is said to be a true statement of the affair:
44 Under the Greek Princes the police was so dis-
organized that Moldavia, in which there are many
respectable foreigners, was overflowed with the re-
fuse of the population of the neighbouring provinces,
and even of more remote countries. A stranger could
enter -without a passport, abide without a license
(carte de surete), pass for whom he pleased, and say
he was under the protection of any Consulate, which
he changed according to circumstances. These in-
dividuals served as instruments to the Hetarists, and
with them have committed horrible. crimes. After
the entrance of the Turks into Moldavia many of
these individuals remained there in disguise; others
have returned under the protection of the amnesty.
4t The present Government, desirous of maintain-
ing order, has made enquiries„ and to prevent the
abuse of protection, -every foreigner has been obliged
to prove the validity of that which he enjoyed. The
assassination of a Turkish Officer, this winter, on the
frontiers of Russia, has induced, the Government to
be doubly vigilant with respect to foreigners. Seve•
ral have been found at Jassy, who had no protection;
and who were known for their reprehensible conduct.
Five of these vagabonds have been sent beyond the
Danube, because they were prohibited from entering
any other of the adjoining provinces.
. "At the same time machinations were discovered,
set on foot by some ill-disposed persons, who in-
trigued to overthrow the existing Government. •The
Hospodar Stourze, instead of punishing the t, uilty,
pardoned them ; and this act of clemency increased
the attachment of his countrymen, and the esteem of
foreigners.
" The Greek Clergy, and the individuals of that

nation resident in Moldavia, and who have estates

there, had furnished to the Hetarists considerable
sums, which, on the premature conclusion of the enter-
prize, were dilapidated by the Ephori. Prince Suzzo
went away with the produce of a forced loan of two
millions of piastres, which he took from the Boyars.
" For these two years no person in office has re.
ceived his salary, and the support of the Turkish army
has obliged the Treasury, exhausted by the preceding
mismanagement, to contract debts. To liquidate
them the present Government has sequestered a year's
revenue of the Clergy, and assigned on those of the
Greek landowners the payment of part of these debts.
The Boyars are equally obliged to furnish a contin-
gent to Meet the expenses of the State, for which the
ordinary taxes are insufficient."

The length of the report of the proceedings of the
Meeting held yesterday to promote a Subscription in
aid of the Spaniards, leaves us but little room for re-
mark upon them. We' need scarcely take this occa-
Sion 6f repeating the earnest desire which we have
all along expressed to see the wicked and lawless ag-
gression which France has committed on Spain pu-
nished with that signal defeat which it so richly
merits: nor will we here dwell on the disappointment
which we have experienced in finding that the endea-
vors of the Spaniards themselves, to bring about a
coristimmation so devoutly to be wished, have not
been hitherto either so prompt, so vigorous, or so
general as to make it clear that the great body of
them feel on the subject as they ought to feel, from
A respect to their national honour, and as men claim-
'mg the sympathy. of the generous and free-born sons
6f other countries. We have only to say, that if the
pi)aniards will yet exert themselves as a people—and
1 if they do so many aieleven now the chances in their
favour—our prayers are still, as they ever have been,
with them. As we said more than three months ago,
in the words ‘vhich Lord IVILLIAI4I BxsTl;icit used
