" Not to withholu fur an instant intelligence of so Much im-
portance, the Athniral is now kt::spatcliing a steam-boat, and I

of Fort St. Julian, and that toe glorious standard of the Queen
now waves on the Castle of St. George.
The remains of the rebel tronps that have been able to form
a junction have marched by Campo Grande, directing their
route, I suppose. on Cabec:.:.

gence from Portugal. She. left Listion on tile 2Zith or July, and
Oporto On the 27tit. Viim Floc entered and took pwsession of
Lisbon on the 21th, with scarcely any toss. The Eng.ish pri-
soners confined in toe city, having bust their bonds end pro-
cured arms, speedi.y liberated tiA the persons confined, atm af-
forded the P,droites great assistance. The police, 5.0 W, reti eated
outside the wall, without tiring a'shot, and nearly all the inhabi-
tants inuitediately declared in favour of the young Queen.—
Admiral Napier entered pith the fleet on the 2;ith, and thus
completed the capture of the place.
" Oporto was attacked on the 28.11, as reported by the
African steamer, and aahough not immediately under the com-
mand of 111arshal B,mritiont, slid with his advice and instruc-
tion; indeed, he stated his intention of dining in Oporto on
that day. They entered the place, but were repulsed with tre-
mendous slaughter, having lost Liop ',mu. The Pedroite loss
was 7W, among whom was the brave Colonel Cotter, who fell
by a random shot after the heat of the action. One regiment
of Miguel's cavalry was neariy ,ill cut off. Don Pedro left
Oporto for Lisbon on the night of the 27th, in the steamer Bri-
tannia, and was sattth,d by the English wen-of-war outside.
One of the officers of the (olid:lnce heard the proclaiming of
the young Queen in li_ack-horse7stittaic, and has .brought
copy of the proclamation with him,'
tnust not omit to Mention that the officer of this ship
offers me every information."
