it is said to have been the intention 6f some of the Dais
puties this day (nid:4y) to hise mide a motion in the
Chamber to declare the nation is a state of clatter
Ina:moth" as. Don Miguel declared that iae took no oath'
and he was not Regent according to the Constitution,
I have been assured also that it was the intention of
some of the members to move the thanks of the nation
to the British troops for their speedy and effective in-
terfetence. To prevent such a measure from being
proposed, a Decree of Don Miguel, in the name of the
King, was presented to the President• in which it is
decl.4ted that, in the exercise of the rights vested in him
by the Charter, he, the Infante Regent, has been pleased
to dissolve, the Chamber of Deputies. A notice to that
effect was also sent to the Chamber of Peers, and both
Houses ass now closed.
The Portuguese troops do not play the Constitutional
Hymn, and all the Liberals seem downcast. Rumours
are afloat of arrests having been attempted last night
(Thursday). The houses of General Clintoniand of the
Ambassador, who is still a resident of Beeves' hotel, in
Buenos Ayres, as well as the quarters of the English
troops, were thronged with persons seeking protection.
Every one in the streets (even British subjects) looks
frightened, and men of, strength and nerve are appalled
when they see their wives and children in terror around
them. I have been told that the houses of Counts Villa
Flor, Taipa, Lumiares, and Ficalho, were surrounded
and searched last night, as well as that of the Marquis
of Fronteira. The Conde de Taipa and General Stubbs
are said to have gone off in the steam packet without
passports; the others are desct ibed as having sought an
asylum in General Clinton's house, or on board the
English vessels in the river.

The situation of Portugal has become almost despe-
rate, and the worst of the case is, that most of its hor-
tors are attributed to the acts of the English-authni ities
the Ambassador is in a passion and abusing the Portu•
view tor want of spirit. General Clinton is ill of a
wound, and lying on a sofa an invalli; the Admiral
is looking on smoking ; when D m Miguel and his par-
tisans axe destroying the Charter piecemeal. Sir F.
Lamb, while in Portugal, will form a strong contrast
with his polished predecessor, and England will base
to regret that he is not so likely to become acquainted
with the secret machinery as was. Lord Heytesbory, .

Two regiments are described as determined to self
their liberties dearly ; these ate the 'l6th infantry, the
strongest and best disciplined regiment in the sei vice,
and the Sth regiment of rifle corps. Two nights ago the
bugles of part of the latter regiment playeJ the Con-
stitutional hymn under the wry windows of the Palace,
which roused the ire of the Prince, and he ordered the
officer to be arrested. Triaday rumour circulates the
report that those regisiehts are to be sent to fietiabal,
.a
notorious absolutist town, where they are to be disis in. 0,
and perhaps, disbanded. . .
It is confidently asserted that some of the best Generals'
and leaders of the Pot tuguese at my stated to the British
that they would go into the field and he id the s2lsliers
against Don Miguel's insist:4ns; bit the British 'guides
here have dissuaded them from that course, andGettera-,
Cl4nton's house affords an asylum to Sling'
to fight. • _ _ _

The insults of the Infant to Ge: Ira) Clinton art de-
scribed as too glaring so be passed over. .pt they have
been so, and thw, ►oo, tamely. On being asked to goto.
the review, the Infante is repotted to have used eapveis.!
sions equivalent to 4* You and your troops may go be

tom the Ambassador.

The only ships marked in the Exchange list as having
sailed up to yesterday, ate tlie Melville and three trans-
prits, for Gibraltar ; it is said the Ocean sailed also this
morning, having the 23d }ti gt.-on board. 'The Eanct rs
ate embarked in the uansports in the river.
The 60th Regiment (English) passed through tbt
city this evening, on its route born Lutniar to Belem.
The band played the Constitutional Hymn, which con-
to ibuted to raise the spirits of the Couttitutionalists.

Europeans of that place and its nel3hboorhornl, have
embarked such of their property as short' ess of time
would allow, on board the American and French sips

the emigrated Europeans will join which ever -proves

San Salvadorians have possession of Osnoa, several of
those who are here intend to return to that place.
