d Lieutenant General Clinton, whom his Britannic Ma-
jfity, the ancient and faithful ally of Portugal, sent
to the assistance of this kingdom, having marched
from this capital into the interior, her Highness the
Infanta nincess Regent orders that it be published
to the army and nation, that the conduct of this di-
vision doting its stay at this Court deserves the highest
consideration on account of its discipline and regu-
larity. Her Highness is well assured that the said
Lieutenant General will cause similar order and pro-
rim to be observed in any part where they may ar-
rive, and that the gallant troops whom he commends,
will renew the same ties of fraternity, which, during
the Peninsular wars united the Portuguese and English
Army into one.

Extract of Official &putts, received in this Department
Lieutenant General Stubbs. writes ftom Oporto on the 3d inst.
that the rapid movements which had been precoticerted betwixt the
Generals the Nlarquis d'Angrja, Count de Villa Rot, and Correa
de Mello, had compelled the rebels to retreat from Sante Taco,
where they spent the night of the U. This General adds, in case
I Medd be attacked Isere, I have so disposed the troops I have
here, and who are in high spirits, that there is no fear of repressing
the enemy.
Count de Villa 'nor wrote to General Stubbs the following
illispatch,fram his head quarters at Liza. on the had Instant. I have
envied yourEacellency's dispatch under yesterday's dace,in which
yes announce to me the state of tranquillity and security of your
coy, I have now united here a force, which is sufficient for under-
taking offensive operations against the rebels; and I must now add
to your Excellency, that I have this day formed a junction with
Generals the Marquise( Angeja and Correa de Mello, and that we
are now determined to march against the rebels, as to-day our forces
occupy Pombeiro aod Guimaraes. To-morrow we march by Lan-
bozo and Carvalho (Este, upon Braga, for the purpose of cut.
ting off the roads of Salto and Ruivaes ; and that, which
by the bridge of Oporto leads into the centre of the province. By
this intelligence your Excellency may regulate your movements,
and be sure that if we shall succeed in surrounding them, we shall
march against them through that city, in which cue any opposition
which your Excellency can make on the river Asa will be of the
greatest utility; but should they make any other movements, we
Man follow them, and if the communication remains open, I will in
a few hours communicate to your Excellency whatever happens. 1
request your Excellency as before, to acquaint the Secretary at
War with these dispositions. and that Amirante is sufficiently gar-
risoned to defend itself against any attack on the right, as well as
m the left of the Tamega. (Signed) PINTO,
The Chief of the First Department.
The Minister Secretary of State charged provisionally with the
War Department, cannot this day, the 7th instant, give his usual
amMence, on account of the exigent:lift of the service.

Almost all the troops of the first British division,
who came so generously to our assistance, have left
this capital; and without fearing to be deemed guilty
of exaggerations, we can baldly say that all of 'herb
have carried away with them the good wishes, esteem,'
and attention, of all the loyal and respectable inhabitants
of this populous city. Really none ever have not could
be seen in 4 Mlle brilliant, and, at the same time,
more pacific and well disciplined state. From its noble
and gallant commander, Sir William Clinton, from its
brave staff, from the first and second in command of the
divers corps, to the humblest soldier, nothing has been
observed in them but the most noble deportment, the
best and most rigid discipline. Thus, there is no won-
der that such allies and such troops were hailed with
univeisal demonstrations of joy and gratitude, by the
ever firm and loyal inhabitants of this capital, who,
under all circumstances, and in every crisis, have mani-
fested the most noble and exalted character of a peat
people, eminently honourable—that is to say, eminently
Portuguese. Such soldiers and allies could consequebtly
not be received otherwise but with enthusiasm, nor be
treated otherwise than with cordiality and affection, a.
by such worthy conduct they realised the best hops s of
all good Portuguese. They are the same men who,
by their valour and blood, sealed our independence as
a nation in 1814 ; and they now once more sign our
independence as citizens, by supporting our legitimate
liberty against rebellion and perjury—the most pie-
eious gift by which the legitimacy of our great King
and Lord, Don Pedro IV. can be illustrated, kc. &c.

(Extract from Official Repent.)
Lieutenant-Genetal the Marquis of Angeja, in con-
junction with General Correa de Mello and Count Vila
Floe, knowing the state of defence of the city of Oporto,
divided in part the forces which the latter Genetal (in
consequence of orders from the Marquis of Aneej 4) had
undertaken at Regoa, determined on the 2d, upon
nuking a movement towards Guimaraes, for the pur-
pose of occupying that town, and of attacking the rebels
wherever he could meet with them.—Oa the same day
(the 2d) General Stubbs writes from Oporto :
I have just received letters from Count Villa Flor, who, on his
mirth to Penaiiel, changed his intention, and marched yesterday
towards Liza, where he waste Mop that night, and form a junction
with General Mello and Colonel Vasconcellas, and was this morn-
ntg to have moved along the road of Torso to observe the motions
of the rebels; and according to the intelligence since received, it is
wertained that a thousand and odd of them stopt last night at Villa
Non de Famelicao; but that this morning, inat•ad of proceeding
on the road to this City, they filed 01 towards Santa Tirco, where,
it appears, they will arrive this evening. 'And at this very moment,
am informed by a patrol which I detached on the road of Barcel-
Ls, that much firing of musketry was heard in the direction of Santa
Tire°, and whi.lt is very probable to be true, as our troops moved
towards Torso, and the rebels upon Santo Tirco. The two points
being one league asunder, they must steeds have fallen in with each
ether, which may have occasioned the firing that was beard.

I have taken measures to defend this city to ease of an attack,
and hope to repel the anat.% Glebe nook. : I

(F.ztract from Official Reports.)
Lieut. Gisela] Stubbs writes VII the 90th of January that Cannel
Zagallo, after having defended the bridge of Mizarella for the
space of five hours, against the greatest part of the rebels, who
attacked him on the 29th and 30th In his position, being unable
to maintain himself against the cavalry, upon retiring to Sa-
lamonde, was obliged to disperse into the mountains, he him
self retreating with a few officers and colotirs, and depfsts
of recruits into Oporto. Colonel Zarin* was sure that none of his
soldiers bad -been taken prisoners, but that they would speedily
join again. His force on these points did not eaceed 300 men
of regulars and militia.
The same Lieutenant General writes on the 51st that Colonel
Brito, who commanded part of the brigade of Colonel Zstrallo,
fought ►ravely, defending himself as long as possible in his pod-
tion.and when compelled by a superior force to retreat, entered
Oporto likewise on the 31st, commanding the troops of the itd and
29d regfmente of infantry, and forty horse of the 10th regiment of
cavalry, besides some militia under his command.
The aforesaid Lieutenant General Stubbs employed all his ener-
gies, and every measure of security which were at his disposal, and
ordered immediately the troops who were at Coimbra to march to
Oporto.
Count Villa for writes front Villa Real on the 30th, saying, that
put of his division marched on the 31st to Amarante, and by forced
searches to Oporto, and that the 4th Provisional Regiment, and the
13th, embarked on the same day on the Regoa, for the same City.
The Marquis of Angeja went on the said day Irons Villa Franca to
Serra do Alvao, where he joined General Mello, and prepared to
march-against the Rebels, hyping that these movements, which be
bad combined with Count Villa Flor, might frustrate any attempt
which. the Rebels might have projected to make against Oporto. ,

In consequence of the unfavourable Intelligence from Portugal,
by the steam-boat, the Consol market appeared very heavy at the
opening this morning, when they were done at 611 for the Ac-
count ; and soon after receded to Ala Is as the prevailing opinion
was, that we should be obliged to send more troops to Lisbon.—
Also. t►e CHANCELLOR of the ESENINEUReII account last night, in
regard to the finances, were not so favourable as was expected.—
Up to the present time, the Consol market hassomewhat improved,'
as more favourable accounts are expected from Portugal, for the
rebels must retreat again into Spain the moment our troops come
into contact with them.
Consols may now he quoted at Ili to 62, and for April at 622.

We are extremely softy to state that the Earl of Li-
voftrooi was, soon after ten o'clock this morning, taken
suddenly ill, supposed to be dangerously. A variety
of rumours on this subject were in circulation, at the.
Stock Exchange, in consequence of which the Fonda
experienced a considerable depression.

The answer to the inquiries this day, in Downing-
street, was, that Mr. Caton/to w.is going on very well
yesterday, and may now be considered as better.

We have received this morning the Lisbon Papers of
the sth, 6th, and 7th inst. They fully confirm the
important intelligence, we esclusively published yester-
day, of the advance of a large body of the rebels to
within a few miles of Oporto, and of their subsequent
retreat by way of Braga, which lies midway between
the former city and the Spanish frontiers. Should they
be ultimately expelled, as there is every reason to
hope, they would, from the direction they have takes,
reach a part of Spain where they might remain em-
bodied for a considerable time, and thui occasion an-
noyance, if not fresh troubles. In Galicia, upon which.
Province they were evidently falling back, no prepara-
tions, at least that we have heard, have 'sten taken
by the Spanish Authorities, to meet such a con-
tingency as we have just noticed ; and if they have
the means, it is much to be feared that they have not
the disposition to employ them in such a way as the
emergency would require, and the professions of the
Spanish Monarch entitle us to expect. However, as
the sincerity of the latter will be soon put to *the test,
we shall not attempt to anticipate the result, particu-
larly as it must have a decisive influence, one way or
the other, upon the relations between Spain on one side,
and Great Britain and Portugal on the other. To re-
. vert to the attempt of the rebels to get possession of
Poi tugal, it seems to have ben conceited with no
slight degree of skill, and to have been matted by a
considerable mixture of boldness and ability in the ese-
, cution. Their whole force, leaders as we•l as men, was
collected for the occssion, and one of its first operations,
was the attack of a divisit.n of Constitutiotial troops
' under the orders of Colonel Zagallo whom it is clear they
entirely r( uted mid dispersed ; though in his own dispatch

it is ;aid, that the act cf Jispersing the troops, was on his,
part a measure of free cboiceand not of compulsion.
Haling thus swept aaraithis obstacle to the attain.
meat of their main design, the rebels it cannot bi

denied, prosecuted the rest of their plan, with as much
courage as skill, and would probably have succeeded
in gaining possession of Oporto, but for the admirable
precautions of General STORRS, who commanded there,
and to whose prompt and able arrangements the safety
,of that in'eresting place, and the preservation of much
valuable British property ace principally doe. How-
ever Count VILLA FLORA, as well as the Marquis of
AroxJA, and General Dc NI atm), did every thing that
could be expected from their courage and parr iotism at
so critical a juncture, and availed themselves with great
promptitude of the check the rebels had sustained in their
advance, its order to come up with them, by which means
the latter were not only deprived of their intended prey,
but compelled to fly precipitately in a different direction.
—As the rebels had 'approached within nine miles of
Oporto, the consternation that prevailed there, particu-
larly am ,ngst the British inhabitants, against whom
the former were supposed to be greatly exasperated,
was indescribable ; and the danger wis regarded as so
imminent, that the Er.glish residents thought themselves
happy if they could save their lives at the expense of
"'their property. Let us tope that this is the last trial of
the kind, for which our countrymen in that place are
reserved; and, to convert this hope into an absolute
certainty, we know of no means so efficacious, as an
immediate augmentation f our naval force, which
really appears inadequate, in its present state, to render,
in's case of great and sudden emergency, the se: vices
for which it is stationed there.

The following is a Copy' of a private communica-
tion, teceived this morning from Lisbon, dated the 7th
instant, and contains the substance of a dispatch ad-
dressed to the Minister of Wart
" The Marquis of Angeja was at Braga on the Sd, and on the fol-
lowing day was to attack the MarqUis Chaves, who was dying before
Sim by the Bridge of Prado. Angeja, Villa Flor, and Mello were
united, and carried on most effective operations : the Rebels were
sying for Galicia.—John de Lacerda had performed much service
in the two &ins; and General Stubbs deserves much praise.—
General Mello commanded the infantry, and Villa Flor the cavalry.
• I hand you this Bulletin, which is to be published this evening ;
the rebels are retreating, and Spain must now disarm them.
" Another private letter of the 7th states, tbat part of our Eng-
-li►h troops have arrived at Coimbra, and the Staff was to leave
Lisbon ►n a day or two. ft also says, the rebels were flying again
into Spain, pursued by the Constitutionalists."

The following is a report of the proceedings which
took place in the Chamber of Deputies on the 6th inst.
and which cannot fail to interest that portion of our
Readers, whose pursuits are chiefly commercials
LISBON, Fits. 6.
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SaIina or Rah S.

Strohm &now, the Secretary, read the Project of Law' No. 101,,
on the commercial relations of the Kingdom, proposed by the Com-
mittee of Finance, in the Sitting of 19th January. After a pretty
long discuseion, it was adopted by eighty-one votes ; %shore De-
remade and Serpa Machado being the only members who dissented.

The President said, that as it was • use of urgency, the discus-
sion on each of the Articles would be continued to-morrow, as the
order of the day, otherwise three Sittings must intervene.
After some other papers had been read,

. .
Sen. Girao asked leave to speak, and said that one of the most ne-
cessary laws was one to repress the abuses of the press. He ob-
served, that if the usual forms were observed, it would hardly be
possible to discuss the Project of Law immediately, and he there-
fore proposed, that as the Chamber had concluded its debates for
to-day, It should divide into sections, and take the project lato
woulderation.-t•This was agreed to.
suet to or mutt dry ras.—raaupow or erStatasor.

Article 1. Ports of Lisbon and Oporto are open to the merchant
vessels of all nations, with which Portugal is nut at war, and in
case of war, private property shall be respected.
In the debate on this Article, various amendments were pro-
posed, among which was the following, by M. VanzeUer, via. to
add after private properly the words. "which shall exist in any
manner in the said ports and depots."
The Chamber having resolved that the matter was sufficiently
discussed, the President put the question on the first part of the
Article to the words wet at war, and it was generally approved.
The second part of the Article was also approved, with the
amendment of Sr. Vanzeller, all the others being rejected.
Art. 2. AU merchandise of whatever country shall be admitted
in depot, with entire liberty of re-exportation, without any other
duty than one per cent. and without any other expense than that
of labour (trebelkm bragaer).
A very animated debate arose on tilt article, which was approved
with some amendments.
Art. 3. Shall be admitted for consumption all goods not expressly
prohibited in the annexed table paying the duties actually estab-
lished. Goods from the various countries of America, when im-
ported in Portuguese vessels, or from the countries in which they
are produced, shall pay 24 per cent, and 30 per cent. if they do not
come direct, in whatever vessels they may be imported ; or even if
they do come direct in vessels not Portuguese, or belonging to the
country where they are produced.
The first part of the Article to the word astallished was approved,
with some slight alteration. The second part was also approved.
with the alteration, that Portuguese ships shall pay 24 per cent,
whether they cone direct or not.

The Paris Papers, which arrived last night, including
the Etoile of Thursday, contain no news, either from
Spain or Portugal. of the slightest interest. A confused
account of the events near Oporto had reached that
Capital, and had an unfavourable effect on the Rentes ;
but confidence will probably be restored amongst
the Jobbers, as soon as they obtain more correct
information. Their present alarm has no doubt arisen
from some •ague suspicion respecting the sincerity of
the Spanish Government, which, it is to be hoped, will
prove in the end wholly unfounded. Our men Market has caught
the contagion as usual ; but as the depression is without a sufficient
cause, a speedy reactiou may be confidently anticipated.

THZ Aamy.—Lieut. Col. Sir JOHN MAY, K.C.B. has
been directed by his Grace the Duke of WeLummox to proceed
immediately to Portugal,to take the'coaltthand of the Royal Artil-
lery stationed there, vice Lieutenant Colonel Wean& Satz, who
has been recalled.

M. CONTINIis the Italian Messenger, left town last
night, with dispatches for Sir F. ADAM, at Ancona.
'Thursday, between ten and eleven o'clock, Colonel
Pusons arrived at the Colonial Office, in Downing-street, In a'.
chaise-and-four, having landed on the coast of Cornwall, bringing
dispatches, with an account of the decease of the King of the
Asusrrals, in consequence of the four wounds his MAJESTY re-
ceived in the celebrated battle in which Colonel Puisoan distin-
guished himself as Commander of the British Forces. The Kato
was accompanied to the field of battle by twenty-nine of his wives;
the King's Great Chief has also died since the battle. Soon after
the battle was over, the surrounding native troops took possession
of the bodies of the slain Ashantees, cut off their heads, and were

very expert In separating the jaw-bones to take home with that u
proofs of their victory. During the conflict, Colonel PULDBMI was
wounded in the thigh. No less than three attempts were made to
piiiion bins. On his voyage borne, he was nearly shipwrecked off
the rocks of Scilly. He left England about three )cars ago, with
the rank of 3lalor.
