LISBON, Omuta 13.
EXTRACTS FROII PRIVATE. LITTIRS.
The General of the Algarves communicates from
Villa Real, that on the tit triztant, at five o'clock in the
morning, there appearel before him a deputation of
three Officers of the 14th Regiment, intimating that the
Battalion of Casadoter, No. 4, had arrived at the town
of Tavira, where a Regiment was already formed to
proclaim the Infant Dun Mguel King of Portugal ;
that the General was invited to take the command of
the troops, and he refu,ed ; that the sad Battalion at
ast arrived, and its Commandant again invited the Ge:?"'
neral to do the same thing, and that the General diem,'
i formed the resolution of retiring on that city.
'lris-to be observed that the plan is to remain in that
kingdom (the Algarves), and to form a Regency. It
appears that none but the troops have taken any share
in the movements.

0,1 the 9th the same General states, that the junta of
the intrusive Government in Tavira had ordered the
Governor of Villa Real to take the oath to the new
King; which was done; that at Tavira the greatest
tranquillity reigned, without ary enthusiasm at the
change of the political system; that the tegiment of
artillery, No. 2, did not wish to join the factious, on
which account all the infantry was preparing to march
for Faro, to force it to join them. The Marquis of
Abrantes had arrived at Sagres, and had disembarked.
On the 10th the General communitates that he had arrived at
Mertole, which be had occupied as his head quarters.
The General who commands in Tras-os-Montes,wrote
from Chaves, on the 6th instant, that on the sth, at six
o'clock in the evening, he had received notice that the
Marquis of Chaves bad matched from Villa Real, at hale.-
past six in the morning, with the greatest precipitation,
and that in that city the alarm had been sounded. In
consequence, he took the precaution to order Officers in
his confidence to observe the destination of the Mar-
,quiss and sent a strong detachment of the 15th Infantry
towards Villa Ponca. On the 6th, at seven o'clock in the
morning, he received a dispatch from Major Menezes,
commanding the detachment of Cas ►dores 9th, in Villa
Real, in which it was stated that the said Marquis
endeavouring to sedate by promises the principal guard
commanded by the Serjeant Domingo Bernardo, to
proclaim the Infant Don Miguel King of Portugal, was
repulsed and charged at the point of the bayonet. On
this he retired, leaving the town in quietness. On the
101 h, in the morning, I learnt that the traitor had effect-
ed his escape into Spain, accompanied only by an Ensign
of Cavalry (the 9th), and two peasants of mean condi-
tion, entering Spain by Galicia. The General issued
proclamations with this news to the towns of the pro-
vince, and apprised all the authorities of the fact.
COPY ow A LETTER !ROM AK ENGLISH MERCHANT,
COMMUNICATED FROM LISBON.
Sra—l have received a letter from Mr. James As-
worth, a British merchant, established at Braganza, in
which he complains, that on the 20th of September, a
party of Spanish troops entered the Portuguese town of
Quadramil, and forcibly took possession of four bales of
merchandise of his, that he had sent there under the
care of two Spaniards, named Francisco dos Santos and
Francisco Romeo, conveying the two men at the same
time into the prison of Puebla de Senabria.
In the hope of these goods being restored to him, he
requests me to deliver to you a copy of his application
to the Portuguese authorities, in which (leaving to others
the political question that the violation of the Portu-
guese territory involves,) be entreats them to take those
measures, which the honour of the Portuguese nation,
and the treaties existing between Great Britain and
Portugal, as well as those between Portugal and Spain,
must dictate, to obtain the restitution of his property.
and the release of the two Spaniards from prison.
I beg leave to enclose the aforesaid documents, to
which is also annexed a copy of a certificate, granted
by the Judge of the Custom House of Braganza, toaa
the same Francisco dos Santos and Francisco luau°

Let me add Mr. Asworth's entreaty, that you will
take such steps with the Portuguese Government as you
may deem most expedient to obtain his property, and
to afford him security for the future.
