The Austrian. U‘server of the 11th contains a smart
philippic against the Path Papers. 64 Vienna,"says our
Austria. contemporary."" happening to lie conveniently
enough for receiving the earliest communications from
the seat of war, the Parislournalists avail themselves.
if this circumstance to amuse their readers with an in-
ethaustible stove of half-true, utterly false, or oftener
coarsely invented news, which, from an apparently
°authentic source, is made to etcite the fears and hopes
of the public, according as it way suit the party prin-
ciples of the respective writers."
The reports," continues the OSterver, .4 lrhich have,
lately been invented upon the subject of the arrival of
a TurkiSh Plenipotentiary in the Russian camp, of ne-
gociations for peace opened at Odessa, of battles lost
and won, of operations made, making, and to be made,
&c. All these reports, so far from being the produce
of Austrian salt,were not eve. dreamt of in Vienna,
until brought into citoulation there by the Journalists
of Paris."
The 61,tmetzr, after this,frwhoyard attack upon thel
Parisian Editors at a body, brings the artillery of his,
wrath into a focus, directing the whole against a long
article which appeared in the Messoger sfa Cfista4res
of the 29th ult. upon the subject of the Empescir of
Russia's journey toOJessa, which article was afterwards
copied into the 314teeibetit, but the whole of which is de-'
scribed as " a mere airy fabric of political romance,
concocted out of a varinty of eagensiine tenons, or more
probably, in the absence of every species of information,
owing its mistence altogether to the over-active imagi-
nation of its author."

" A squadropof nine vessels, consisting crone 74-gua
ship, two heavy leigates, three corvettes, two lids'. of
war, and a transport, arrived rather port on the morning
of e 16th of August, aad feat an shore the same even-
ing a summons of surrender to the Governor Valdez,
who returned at once his decided refusal to deliver up
his trust unto any other authority than that of Don
Pedro, from whnin be had received it. The vessels then
stood for the rang, at one time menacing a landing. to
the westward, and at others to the eastward of Faochat
"On the 19th, an English sloop of war, the Alliga-
tor. Captain Canning, arrived in 1$ days from Ply-
mouth. and on the 20th the packet came in from Fal-
mouth,. in eight days, with some Constitutional officers
on Ward, and intelligence of aid to be expected by the
Brazilian frigate Isabel, which has not yet appeared.
This news was received witb great rejoicing and a se-
base irons all the forts. These sem, however, were the
last given lesr the cause of Don Pedro ia.Madeira; for
oa the 21* the squadron was observed to work up very
'diligently towards Machico, a town about three leagues
and a half to the eastward of Funchal, and it became
evident that a landing was to be attempted at that
place.
4113 n the 22d a small party of Caeadares landed under
cover af a cannonade from the fleet, and in the mean-
time Valdez had done every thing requisite to secure
the strong country between them and the town, but all
to no purpose, for a panic had seized the numerous
Madeira forces, who abandoned theik strong posts with-
out making any resistance, as fast as the enemy arrived
within gunshot oldies. This reception, you may sup-
pose, was sulficieatly gratifying to the Lisbonians, who
in the evening of the same day and the following morn-
ing of the 23d, diseinbaiked the remainder of their
troops; the ist and 2d regiments of the line mustering
with the Cacadores about 1,300 men. They reached
the town on the evening of the same day, the 23d, and
which was abandoned in the afternoon by Valdez, and
the officers who had so recently arrived in the packet,
after doing their utmost ikvain to persuade the people
to fight.

Suelista, now entered Funchal, and commenced plun-
dering the houses of the most noted Liberals; and as

"Dori ng the hur'y and confusion of the 23d, the
merchants, with considerable difficulty, got their specie
on board the Alligator; and very lucky it was for us
that the behaviour of the Lisbon troops has been s.rl
steady, for the protection afforded by a single sloop of,
war, on board of which not one-third of our number
could have been harboured, would of course have been
insufficient. No English property has been injured,
and the Governor has intimated to Mr. Veitch that Bri-
tish subjects and their property will be respected. It
would be well that the Miguelists would content them-
selves with the conquest and vssession of the land; but
vengeance on the unhappy adherents of Don Pedro is
at hand, and our dungeons are already so loaded, that
a portion of the prisoners are now being sent on boardi
the fleet. The imprisonment of the volunteers is already
ordered, of which corps there were about 450 assembled,
but a. few weeks before the fray, and not sufficiently,

will be in jeopardy, and their estates of course forfeited.
Mr.Carvalhal and two or three other of the greatest pro-

I conceive, they ate quite secure.
" You had very good reason for your anxiety, for I
doubt not, if any resistance had been made to the en-1

case, having been promised the sack of the town. We
are luckily all safe.

1 EITRACT Of ANOTHER LETTER, DATED MADEIRA,

AUGUST 28.

" I arrived at this island on the-19th, after a tedious
and unusually boisterous voyage of three weeks from
the Lizard. lam glad, however, that I have got thus
fir on. my voyage to Jamaica, fur which I hope the brig.
will sail to-morrow. The cause of out detention I shall
ezplain to you. On Monday the 18th we made the land,,
but we were unable to come to anchor until the followiagl
day in consequence isf a calm. When we arrived, we
found the island under blockade, but English vessels were
permitted to anchor in a particular spot out ofthe range
of shot, in ease of a bombardment. The blockading
squadron was composed of a 744 sir frigates, a trans-
port. two brigs of war. and 2,000 Portuguese troops.
On lauding at Funchal, I loused that preparaions for
`defence were making in the town. The people ap-
pealed full of enthusiasm, and determined to resist Don
Migaters squadron. The forts were manned by the
people of the country, assisted 6y some regular troops,
and everything bore the appearance of a .disposition to
make a most determined resistance. Ilisiness of every,
kind was et a stand, and the native Merchants and
tradesmen, who seemed eager to rallrround the Con-
stitutional standard, enrolled themselves to the amount
of 3,000. Every perion I met with, Englishmen ez-
cepted, was in a military dress.
" Things remained in this state until Thursday, the
21st, when Don Miguel's fleet was observed-to be di-
recting its course towards the eastern quarter of the
island, which is its weakest point. Troops were in-
stantly dispatehed in that direction, leaving the volun-
teers to guild the town and the forts.' On Friday morn-
ing the military operations commenced, and curiosity
induced Me to make a journey towards the scene of
action, buf before I got half way wit I w.es,infeittled
that the troops of the island had fled and abandoned a
fort capable of sinking the whole' of Don Miguel's
squadron. Such, however, was the cowardice of these
troops, who a short time before bad bragged so loudly,
that alter Aiseharging one volley of musketry, and firing
only five guns; they ran of before one of Don Miguel's
soldiers had !added. A broadside from one niche frigates
terrified them, although they were so well sheltered by
the fort orations that not a man of them was wounded.
On arriving 'at a pass where the second division, with
four piece(' of cannon, was posted, I vitnessed the dis-
persion of the first dirision. The troops 4( this division,l
instead of returning to town, avoided their comrades,
and dispersed into the country. An officer gallopped
up and said that the enemy wis advancing, upon which
I and some other English gentlemen who- accompanied
me thought 'proper to retire. I returned, with the
intention of going on board, but to do so was not prac-
ticable. as the gates had been ordered to be slnu.
This was not pleasant, for if the Miguelites should
have stormed the town, it was thought they would
spare none of the English. The first thing we saw in the
morniog, however, was the soldiers of the second division
hastening back to the 'town, covered—not with glory,
but—with dust. These troops, it must be allowed, had
made some resistance, for out 0(20 rounds of ball car-
tridges they brought back 17, and out of .dl sounds cf
cannon shot they restored 29 safely to the magszine.—
AU now was hottof and demay; families began to fly
into the country, and on board the English frigate. The
Governor attempted to rally the soldiers, but his efforts
were Of no avail: they threw away t'lieir firelocks acid
accoutrements in the streets. Finding all lost 4 he Was
at last obliged to seek slicker for himself and family on
board the English frigate. As soon as it was ascertained
that the Governor bad led, the country. people, who
had charge of the torts, drove the volunteers away,
and hoisted Don Miguel's colours; they then wantonly
fired the guns, not 'only against the town, but against
the ships is the port, which were chiefly English. None
of the vessels were struck, except one brig, the Orient.
which got a shot in the bows. The damage was, for-
tuaately..soon remedied. A distressing scencsoon fol-
lowed: the brig was literally taken possession of by
unfortunate families who had reason to dread the en-
trance of Don Miguel's men. Captain Cosset admitted'
on beard as many females and their parents as he could .
make room for. Otherstook refuge on boatd the Eog.

Extract of a private letter of a recent date from
Berge—" On the 20th of August two Englishmen at
to ascend the Jountrau on the side next Lan- I
terbrounn, accompanied by nine'of the inhabitants of;
the village. They arrived as far as the Bed Valley, at
a considerable height; but here they were stopped by
unforeseen difficulties. They ate of opinion, however,
that the summit is accessible on this side. On the 21st
an inhabitant of Berne, undertook with some hunters of
chamois to a.cend the summit, starting from Grindel-
weld and passing behind the Elger and the Monk. He
persevered in his enterprize for eight whole days, dur-
ing which period be had to encounter difficulties of every
kind. On the 29th he ieturned to Grindelwald, after
