Notwithstanding the representations made to the Bri-
tish government, end the accpunt rendered to our King
by his Commissioners at London, appointed to settle
and liquidate the accounts between England and Spain,'
the former persists in demanding the whole of the credit
recognised by the Regency, and this has already given
rise to serious discussions. The English Minister presses
our Government more and more, and the notes of the
British Cabinet have, within the last two months, be.
come very pressing.

PARIS, Thentsai 17.
There is a current report,Ahat orders have been dis-
patched for the recal of those troops which we have
kept so long at Madrid, whose numbers are not con-
siderable enough to maintain, an case of extremity, a
capital, where the party thatlas given military aid to
the Portuguese refugees is dominant. This otter does
not apply to the troops that we have
,at Barcelona, or
at Cadiz. The cause of this difference is very obvious.

MADRID, Decants 7.
The Minister of Finance is in the greatest embarrass-
ment to obtain funds. His Excellency begins to be
frightened at the system of Finance which be has
hitherto pursued. He perceives the employment of the
revenues by anticipation, far from insuring continual
resonrces of the State, hastens his misery, and prepares
his fall. The embarrassment of the Minister is arrived
at such a point, that he receives all the plans which are
proposed to him, without being able to determine or fix
on any, for his wants do not permit him to attend to them.
The Council of Ministers yesterday, summoned by the King.
was prolonged till half-past six.
The Chamber of Peers will assemble to-morrow, the 19th, to
hear the reading of the Address, in answer to the King's Speech.
They state in the Memorial Bordelais, of the 15th
of December—They write from Bayonne, dated the
12th, that a letter of the Bth, from Madrid, announces
that 10.000 Portuguese peasants had joined the troops
of the Princess Regent, to march against the insur-
gents. These last bad experienced a check, which
obliAed them to retrograde on Spain. The English
troops have disembarked at Lisbon, and form the gar-
rison of that city.
The Indicateur Bordelais contains the following :
FRONTIERS OF PORTUGAL

The rebels are still at Tras•os-Montes. The Marquis
de Chaves and Viscount Montalegre occupy the same
position. Their united forces amount to about 900, or
1,000, or more, infantry and cavalry, mingled with
guerrillas, who pillage and rob everything which suits
them. About a thousand Spaniards, a great part of
them armed with lances, commanded by the Viscount
Villa-Gracia, have just united with them.
The General Claudino has just effected a junction at
Chaves, with the Captain General of the province, for
the purpose of opposing the rebels.
The Government hastened to accept the services of
the brave Colonel Valdes, and have given him the com-
mand of the effective men of the 3d and 21st regiments '
of infantry, and 12th cavalry. _

The rebels who entered the Alenteju have been re-
pulsed and vigorously pursued by the peasants, to the
number of about 18,000, who give them no quarter.—
This movement took place spontaneously, as soon as
these brave countrymen could reckon on the support
and protection of the troops from Lisbon.
P.& While the troops of the Princess Regent were marching
against the rebels, the English disembarked at Lisboa, and formed
the garrison of that capital, which is therefore sheltered from every
attempt.
