TRIUMPH OF LOYALTY.

racist TWIt PLTKOOIIII JOCILDIAL.
Every honest man—every one who possesses the true unadulte-
rated principles of a Briton—every real friend of legitimate Mo-
narchy—must rejoice with us in the signal discomfiture experienced
by the forces of that hateful—that perjured Vampire, who fattens
on the best blood of Portugal—in their attempt upon Terceira,
that last hope—that holy sanctuary of Portuguese loyalty and Por-
tuguese virtue.

Of TWO THOUSAND viva HUNDRED MAN who attempted a lard-
ing upon those sacred shores, THIRTIES HUNDSID perished in the
waves, savor Burman) were killed or wounded, and made pri-
soners after landing, and viva HUNDALD, inspired by the atmosphere
of freedom which surrounds that virtuous land, nobly renounced the
cause of perfidy, cruelty, and usurpation, and ranged themselves
beneath the banners of truth, of justice, and of loyalty ;-1,..100
stand of arms, two gun-boats, and two 24-pound guns, fell into
the bands of the victors, and will serve to strengthen them against
any future attempts of the fratricidal tyrant, of whose bloody
sway even his own most zealous partizans have begun to sicken.
Thus nobly has the blood of the unfortunate refugees, so wickedly,
and so wantonly shed to gratify the wishes of a monster, upon the
shores of Terceira, been avenged, with the trifling lose to the forces
of the legitimate Sovereign of Portugal, Donna Maria da Gloria,
of only eleven men, killed and wounded.
Hardly has a month elapsed since we were told with a tone of
the greatest confidence, that disaffection to the cause of the legiti-
mate Queen was so universal in Terceira that the Expedition of the
Traitor bad only to present itself to be received with open arms—
that the situation of the island precluded the possibility of resist-
ance, and that the first shot would produce an instantaneous surren-
der.—We were taught to consider the Hero of the 11th inst. thn
generous, the loyal, the patriotic Villa tor, as a poltroon and a
coward, whose crimes compelled his flight from Portugal, and who
would, on the capture of the island, which was regarded as certain,
meet his reward by an ignominious execution ; yin, contrary to all
these confident predictions, contrary to all these fund expectations,
we find these disaffected inhabitants rallying at the call of their
chief, and in place of welcoming the tender mercies of Don Mi-
guel, successfully resisting his troops, defeating them with the most
signal success, and driving away his invincible Armada with loss
and disgrace. So much, as the polite John Bull ! would say, for the
disaffection to the cause of Queen Donna Maria da Gloria; so
much for the impossibility of defending Terceira; and so much for
the want of valour and good conduct of Count Villa Fior.
Whether, like another Sarragossa, Terceira shall eventually be
crushed beneath the power of a perjured traitor—an unfeeling de-
spot, aided, perhaps, as before, by those who first shed the loyal
blood of Portugal upon her shores, or whether less fortunate than
the illustrious Palafox, the hero of the 11th—the patriot of Ter-
ceira, be doomed to fall beneath the a:ea the executioner, no re-
verse of fortune, no degradation of suffering, can obliterate the
memory, or tarnish the glory of that day. But instead of in-
dulging such gloomy anticipations; instead of following the lead
of the advocates of Treason and Revolution, let its rather hope that
the example of Terceira will rouse anew the feelings of Loyalty in
Portugal, and raise such a tempest as may hurl the Traitor front
the throne he has polluted, to the infamy he has earned.

the effect upon entering the Gardens was extremely striking ; and
that effect was heightened by the gay appearance of the groups that
paraded the different walks. The fire-works were unusually
splendid, and the concert and other amusements gave equal satis-
faction. The Gardens were much crowded, and the crush to wit-
ness some of the exhibitions was occasionally very formidable.

the Learned Gentleman was asserting his right to be heard on be-
half ti a client, but the attendance of Counsel being contrary to
the regulation of the Court, and Mr. Croft persisting in the claim
of his tight, be was committed. The Bar agreed to sign a memo-
rial to the Lord Chancellor upon the subject, which was accord-
ingly done and forwarded.

This morning the Court assembled at the usual hour, and was
greatly crowded, owing to the expectation of the case for the pro-
secution being closed. There would have been co doubt of its
dosing this evening, had it not been that Sir E. Codrington's ex
planation' occupied so much time. I understand that all the wit-
nesses for the prosecution have been eaamlned, and that the Court
will meet to-morrow for the cross-examination of Captain Spencer
