LORD LIVRRPOOL,

An early consultAtion was held at Fife House this
morning, whet the Medical Gentlemen issued the fol-
lowing Bulletin:
" Fire House, FEB. 26, Tax o'CLocx.
u Lord Ltvettroot. has passed a good night, and is
going on favourably."

A Lisbon Mail has arrived with Papers to the 10th
inst. and, if the present wind continue, we may expect
every hour much later advice: from that capital.—
Extracts from the Journals, brought by the present con-
•eyance, will be found under the customary head ; and
we subjoin the copy of a letter from a Private Corre.

Kin, contains a rumour, which we hope to see fully
eeefirstetl, stating that a considerable column of the
'rebels, finding their retreat by the sea side in danger of
being eut off, wheeled round, and began to shoot with
all their might and main," Long live the Constitution l"
It will be also seen, that the heads of Departments and

Head-quarters, as well as the baggage, of the British
troops, marched out of Lisbon op the .10th instant,
taking the route of Leiria, and sere expected to reach
Coimbra in a week from that date. General Cuirroa,
with his personal Staff, were to follow on the 12th,
proceeding by the way of Torres Vedras (a deathless
name in the military annals of Britain) towards Leiria,
and thence towards Coimbra, where, as at a cen-
tral point, the head-quarters will probably be sta-
tioned for a considerable time. In the mean time,
the Constitutional troops will be able to prosecute
with increased ardour and success, the task of
purifying their native soil from the dregs of an
unprincipled and bigotted faction, and thus eradicat-
ing not only the present rebellion, but the seeds of
future troubles. Their exploits at the Bridges of Prado
and Barra, were fully equal in importance to the
account given of them in the French Papers, and shew
that they still retain the mettle which they displayed,
when they shared the glorious toils and dangers of our
own troops. In the former instance, though sue of
the inches was broken down, and. the extremity of the
bridge lined with artillery, they faced their way over it
in the most gallant sty le,the brave and entbusiestifroutu
do Vats Ron leading the attack in person at the head
Of his division. The rebeis were so much surprised bythe

iiapsfflosity of the astailints, that Ail left a consider-
Able in/fiber of prisoners its the hands of the litter
whilst the Constitutionalists, continuing their pursuit-
without intermission, came up again on the same day
with the rebels at the Bridge of Baca, which was also
fortified, and gained another victory as decisive as the
dormer, notwithstanding the most vigorous resistance—
like young and gallant VILLA Floe still leading the at.
uck. The rebels appear to have been sn broken and
I dispersed in consequence of these repeated 1. sses, that it
was generally believed they Would not be able to retain
any order in the rest of theft flight, andwould be obliged
Ito leave all their artillery in the lurch. This odious re-
bellion may be considered, therefore, as all but extin-
guished; and it remains to be seen how the fugitives
will be received on their arrival in Spain. No era-,
*ions will be henceforth taken from the Spanish Govern.
tont; and as it has collected a considerable force near
the frontiers, it will be expected that this force shall be
used effectually to prevent the rebels from forming new
designs against the tranquillity anti liberties of their
country. It will be seen from our extracts, that a motion
of Count LrtteAass, connected with this most keeled-
ing subject, was carried in the Portuguese Chamber of
Peers on the 9th instant; and from the manly tone of the
resolutions hussy be confidentlyinferred,that the time of
indecision, as regards me party in the dispute, is past.
It may be expected in our opinion with equal confi-
dence, that the Spanish Monarch, seeing the turn
tint affairs have taken, will clearly recognise the =-
malty of immediately sacrificing his principles to his
interests; and when he is once in this vein, it is impos-
sible to my to what extent he may carry his concessions.

Head Quartets at OpetrA, Feb. 1.

His Excellency the Marquis de AIIGUA sends word
by Jou de hL►QALusss, Cadet of Cavalry, that he left
Foote de Prado at ten o'clock yesterday morning : that
at nine o'clock that day, the rebels being on the other
aide of the bridge, the passage was forced by the Light
Dnegoons of our troops, after a brisk firtron both sides;
the rebels losing sixty prisoners, of the 7th Regiment
of Masseurs, and S*th of Infantry, and two pieces of
cannon: they had also many killed, including two
Officers, and a good many wounded. On our side there
were very few wounded, including Captain Ciao', who
received a slight contusion in the face, but that does
not binder him from performing his duty. Our troops
were still in pursuit of the rebels.
At the request of the Marquis de Axoam, the Bri•
gade, consisting of the 4th and ISth battalions of In-
fantry, and .50th Cavalry, sets out to-day for Barcellos.
(Sped) GERALD() JOWL DRAAMC4MP.
The anxiety of the public to know the most trifling
circumstances of the operations of the rebels and of our
troops, induce; us to give in a supplement, not only the
above official account, but other authentit particulars,
which have come to our knowledge.

One of the two rebel Officers who was killed, was the

celebrated Captain RANOML, who commanded the 24th
Regiment at the time of its tebellion in Bragansa : some
of the Officers of the rebels, at the time of their stay in
Braga, gave some signs of discontent, and publicly said
(and this they repeated when they were at St. Thyrso
a few days ago) that they had sent as prisoners to Val-
ladolid, Viscounts CAMILLAS, VARILis and MoLaLLoa,
Imputing to them the loci of the baule of Corache ; and
adding that the Marquis of CHAVES was mad.
The rebels retreated by the road of Ponti di Lima
and Arcos, in order to reach Galicia, and it is to be
hoped that they will suffer mere loss, especially the re•
mainder of their artillery and baggage; the latter is but
trifling in quantity.
It is said that the troops of the rebels also catered
Santo Thyrso, on the 2d, and left it on the Sd, con-
sisting of 700 infantry, of the 3d and 24th, and 150
horse, with four cannon, under the command of Jose
Ceram% retreated by the road of Barcellos, knowing
that Braga was in the possession of our troops. Per-
ape this is the reason of the match of our brigade
to-day to Barcellos, at the requeit\ of the Marqpis
d'A NOWA.
The action at the Bridge of the Prido, was cow'
mended by the Count de VILLA From, and our light li
troops only were engaged in it, because the cavalry
had not then arrived.
To-day there arrived in this city twenty-thrwa
waggons, loaded with bread, meat, rye and straws
belonging to the rebels whe, retiring peaceably (men
Famelicao, left these things behind them. The Geseril
,ordered this prise to be delivered to the Commission
appointed to receive the rewards for the troops.
bread only was ordeied to be delivered among the
prisoners.

The accounts from Lisbon received this day. state
that the English Brigade, with another of Portuguese
Artillery, was to arrive at Coimbra on the 16th, and to
march immediately to Oporto. &sides tbe remainder

The Paris Papers, which arrived last night. contain
the very uneipected intelligence, that the King of
SPAIN bas issued an ordinance, dated the 13th instant,
suthoriating a direct Trade between Spain and Souti
America in foreign vessels. Whatever may be the
motives, the measure itself bears a character of the most
marked importance, the mare so, as in all probability
it is merely a prilimiaary step to the formal
recognition by FENDINAND of the independence oft
his quondam colonies. This proceeding says more
for the conciliatory temper of the Spanish Monarch,
then all the other acts and declarations by which
it had been preceded ; and it is oar firm opinion
that he will crown the whole, and this .too before
many months pass over his head, by proclaiming
a Constitution, and thus assimilating Isis Government to

that of Portugal. Our armed interposition is not likely,
therefore, to be so calamitous, as some of oar contem-
poraries have been pleased to predict, and we trust they
will now retract for their own sakes, the many stupid
observations they have made for the last seven or eight
weeks about the indiscretionef our foreign Secretary,
and the quixotism of our diplomacy.
There is no other news of the least interest in the
Paris Papers.

Dutch and Brussels Papers to the 24th instant, and
Hamborgh (by Dutch ►sail) to the 21st, arrived this
morning. It appears frees the Brussels Papers, that
Ostend has been saved almost by a miracle from a re-
petition of the frightful calamity occasioned last autumn
by the explosion of one of the powder magazines. A
fire broke out in a house adjoining the remaining maga-
zine, but was happily extinguished by the extraordinary
effects of some of the inhabitants ; though mazy more,
recollecting the dreadful scene of last year, fled from
the city in the greatest conternation. These Papers
speak of another fire, which on the 17th destroyed
greatest part of the town of Marche; and frees the
frequent recurrence of the evil, it must be allowed,
that either the police in the Netherlands is extremely
defective, or, as has been insinuated in a former num-
ber of a Brussels Paper, that organized bands of iocen•
darks traverse the country.

There is intelligence from St. Petersburgh through
these channels to the 11th instant, announcing some
successful operations between the 9th and 14th of Ja-
nuary against the Nomads tribes on the Persian side of
the Mixes. They were conducted by Prince MADATOW
who, having joined the detachment of Colonel MITIK
canna° already stationed on that side of the river, vi-
gorously attacked the enemy near the River Sarebonr,
and took from him some cattle and horses. Another
result was the deliverance of 500 Nomade families,
subject to the Russians. and who had been carried
off by the Persians from Carabach. Prince Nemirow
afterwards entered the district of Metschinsk, when his
Cossacks dispersed the Nomade inhabitants, and after.
wards occupied the little town of Lahr in that district,
where ALA CIIIAW, who governed it, as well as his bro-
ther, appeared voluntanly before the Russian General,
and took the oarhs of fidelity to the Emperor of
RUSSIA.
There is no other news worth notice in any of
these Papers.

A great variety of intelligence, connected with the
interests of the New and Old Transatlantic States will
be found today in the columns of the STAR, but which,
from the pressure of other important matters, we can
only briefly notice. Copies of the Convention, signed
between Great Britain and the United States, by which
the former Power agrees to pay 1,204,960 dollars in
lien of all claims set up by Citizens of the United
States in consequence of the events of the last war. One
half of this sum has been already paid ever to the Ame-
rican Treasury, and the other half is to be paid in Aug.
neat. The copies of this Convention will be found in
another column. It will be seen from the subjoined
Proclamation of General PARR, that the troubles raised
by him in Venezuela are already extinguished. Such
is the wonderful influence the arrival of BOLIVAR has
already had upon the interests of the Colombians :

of a Convention between the United States and Great
Britain, signed on the 13th of November last, at Lon-
deo, by the respective Plenipotentiaries of the two Go-
moments, for the final settlement and liquidation of
certain claims of indemnity of citizens of the United
States, which had arisen under the first article of the
Treaty of Ghent. It having been stipulated by this
Coavention that the enlarge of the ratifications of the
por should be made at London, the usual Proclansa-
it here can only be issued, when that event shall

about to conclude, a truce with deneral Mauna; who
held PortoCavello, to abstain from any further hostile
act between the contending parties, until the arrival

of the Liberator, potrina, who, it was still believed
would put art end to the political troubles in that depart.

measures, Ito says that we have avoided many misfortunes. It

ing nature, and that no person need entertain the smallest feats

THE EARL b,F LIVFRPOOL
-
The strength of the Noble Earl has retutned quite as
much as was contemplated, considering the exhausted
state his Lordship was reclined to by bleeding, being
clipped several tunes, and the application of leeches, by
which means between 30 and 40 ounces of blood were
taken from his Lordship on the first day he was seized
with the fit. The Gentlemen of the Faculty yesterday'
met again, at the Noble Earl's house, but only re-
mained about half an hour, when they issued the fol-
lowing Bulletin:—

Fife House, Feb. la (Sunday, II o'Clock.)
I r Lord Livatroot, is going on satisfactorily, times\ slowly. His
Lordship has passed a very good night."
A Messenger was dispatched to the KING, at
Brighton, with a full report.
At a quarter past nine o'clock, Ms Lordship's Medical
Attendants had another consultation, which lasted three
quarters of an hour, when their report was, ‘, His
Loawswip continues a little better."
