PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

The first of the Terceira squadron, the Amason frigate, re-
turned to this port on Sunday last, since which all the others have
successively drops in, except, I believe, the line•of-battle ship,
the Perols frigate, and a corvette and brig of war—nevertheless,
the Gement, throughout the whole of the week, never deigned to
hint at the disaster, and only today put forth the account I trans-
mit herewith, in order that the Government may have an excuse
'for punishing any one who may represent the loss greater than the
Gareth authorises.
But what a defeat! what a discomfiture! the Court and the
Ministers are astonished and confounded to an extent that you can
form no idea of. At first it was attempted to prevent tbe'soldlers
from babbling—but it was impossible ; and while they were drawn
up in companies, and resting on their arms, they were asked by the
crowds that surrounded them if they would go back again?—
hundreds of them called out—go back again !No ! let Hirt
go if he likes, and the vane Pate that gave him birth—and
that sent us on such an expedition—the fire from the entrench-
menu was as if hell was 'vomiting forth flames and death—
never was destruction seen like it. In short, every one has his
miracle and his beast of seven heads to tell of, in order to justify
his return with humbled crest, or his want of subordination and
refusal to disembark : for to this it is owing that the 16th regi-
ment is returned nearly as complete as it went—for they were the
chief mutineers, and it is probable they will have proved so with
impunity, for the Government is afraid either to punish or repri-
mand them, fearing they might be driven te open rebellion.
Colonel Lama, the Military Commander of the Expedition, has
twice attempted in vain to see Don Mutest, and now orders have
been issued for his being tried by a Court Martial, which he, it
seems, also asked for. It is aid, moreover, that orders have been
sent to St. Michael's to put Rosa under arrest and tend him to
Lisbon. It is a fact that Don hisoom, following the advice
of his Mamma, had directed all those who dared at the com-
mencement to speak of the disaster, to be proceeded against.
and one of the prisons in consequence was filled with women, prin-
cipally the wives or relations of those who bad fallen in the attack ;
but they have not dared to persevere, and VIIOA, the Minister of
Justice, has, with more tact, directed all assemblages of the people
to he dispersed. In short, every one speaks of it, and no one speaks
of anything else, audit has become a mat saying in regard to any
matter—Eh ! don't you know how it is? go to Vit.t.ri Flak go—
ind he will tell you how it is and how it ought to be. The
blow thus inflicted on Munn is terrible, for soldiers, sailors,
and officers all unite to justify themselves; and in order to
avoid being sent back again, say a great deal mere than the
Intendant of Police, HAIM% would wish them to do—while
the news is fast spreading, through the means of boat-
men, &c. to every part of the kingdom, and the general revo-
lution of sentiment, and conversion of opinions, within these eight
days past, is beyond conception. Indeed, were the Count, with a
few of his brave comrades from Terceira, to land now on the coast,
the panic that it would occasion would soon bring to a close the
reign of the usurper.
If a stranger were here for the first time in his life, he would say
Mutates cause is lost for ever; but alas! be must come from
China, if he did not know that there exists a Wer.t.nrciron in Eng-
land, of whom our worthy Moon is but a tool.
In the midst of a conflict of opinions on the subject—it Is sublime

and delightful to bear a bet recounted and admitted by all that
remains of the expedition, namely," that the volunteers and soldiers
of Terceira did everytldng in their power to serve us, calling to
many by their names, and lending their aid and stretching out their
arms and hands to help us up the rocks and over tbe entrench-
ments; and that if they did not sink all the veuels, including as
well the line of battle ship, it was because we were Portuguese, and
that they did not wish cur destruction." The lite who

said this on his arrival was ; so that, instead of anger
and vengeance, they are inspired with gratitude—and all unite in
-affirming, that not even with Mi►ty thorsaad men could Terceira be
taken.

Many of the MipeUte officers are spoken of with great con-
tempt ; they were actually forced into the boats from on board
ship, and the sailors threw many of them into the surf In obliging
them to land. Notwithstanding, almost all these cowards carried
with them large empty trunks, to fiU with plunder.
The total loss is circumstantially ascertained to have exceeded
eighteen hundred.
