PLYMOUTH. Aus. 27.

The Spanish schooner Bourne, N. Arrant*, master,
arrived here on Tuesday morning, alter a passage of
ten days from Ferrol, in Gallicia, bringing about one
hundred of the unfortunate Portuguese Constitution
altos, who had BA to that place after the wreck of
their hopes at Oporto. The Bnstello put into • Fal-
mouth, but in consequence of orders received from
the Brazilian Consul in London, that all Portuguese
refugees should proceed to this port, she did not re-
main there. 'fire greater part of the pas.engers brought
by tier were student., who had totaled themselves into
a volunteer corps, and iiined the army on its advance
trom °porta. Being c tmpelled to retreat, they pro.
seeded, as is already known, to the Spanish frontier, and
tt orn the momer.t of their entering than kingdom to the
time of their departure from, its inhospitable shore, they
were exposed to one contihued series of insult, plan ter,
and op.,ression. 0.1 reaching the frontier,' they were
stripped of their arms, money, and some of them of their
cl Vies. Amongst the latter was one of our informants,
who now wears gat or nts borrowed of some of his
less miserable comrades. The behaviour of the Spanish
Authorities, as w.e are rt famed by the officers, exceed
in cruelty all conception. They forced these poor tel
lows, thus deprived of arm , money and hes, Ir.)
bivouack on the mountains cur twelie days, and gave
them no proviiions fur 48 hours; this was done by
order of the Spanish Guerilla Colonel Perira, known
for his being an apostolical, and having invaded
regal with the Marquis de Chaves. We are rurther:
Moulted that the French Guvernmenr,• with great ge-
nerosity, offered an asylum to these troops, and actually:
sent t anspOrts to convey them ; but that the Spanish
Authorities forced them to leave Gallicia before the
ships could arrive; and that they were obliged to em-
bark in small vessels without necessaries. Two Com-
missioners, Messrs. C. Xavier and Medosi, have been
deputed to this port by the Brazilian Authorities in
London, to procure and fit out ft:lwpm ts to convey
these refugees to the Brazils, and are here now for the
ptirpose. Four large vessels: the Minerva, Susan, and
Lyra, of Plymouth, and the Delphine, of Chiisti.snstadt,
are now being fitted out here as transports, and will
shortly sail for Rto de Janeiro, where these brave but
unfortunate melt' will receive that welcome and protec-
tion which their services deserve. The fir .1 division
has been drafted on board one of the transports, where
every *comfort has been provided for them ; and we are.
happy 10 learn' that great discipline and subordination
are observed amongst them. Eighty-two more of the
refugees arrived here yesterday by the Bruniwock.
