MADEIRA.

kccounts have been received from Madeira to the
inning of this month, and we regret to find that that
utiful Island is reduced to a state of indescribable dis-
s and misery by the Miguelite faction. We have re-
ed a voluminous correspondence regarding it, but we

the persecutions of our cruel Governor : but a few days
were treated with one of a very ludicrous nature. A
of the parish of St. Antonio, about three miles from

of his neighbours, for his liberal sentiments, and was
