&Pimlico the streets were almost impas-
sable, in consequence Of the crowd, who
Xresented laurels to the soldiers as they
yIassed along, and exclaimed, " Bravo, my
bovs. you are sure of success" Several
ofthe spectators also shook hands with
the officers, who appeared delighted with
the rood feeling and affection displayed
towards them and the soldiers"
A letter from Portsmouth,, says "The
first division Of guards are to embark in
the Wellesley, "A The royal horse ar
tllery, 800 men, are to embark lmmedi-
otely. As much activity and zeal proceed
in our department, as at the commence
meDt of hostilities which are likely to last
another quarter of century"
The operations of the rebels in Portu.
gal, to the 9th Dec. had thrown Lisbon in
10 state Of uncommon excitement. The
only important movement bad been the ad-
vance upon Braganza Of large body of
insurgents, which they plundered, after
defeating the troops that opposed them,
which were driven into the citadel The
insurgents betrayed bitter hostility to the
English residents. One woollen House
had lost 5000, and the family was in
suited. Several merchants are in the cas-
tie besieged by the rebels, and expect
death il taken. 1t was hoped the forces
from England would reach Portugal be-
fore the rebels could advance south Of the
Douro, but apprchensions were entertain
cd for Oporto, which is near the main force
OF the disaliccted.
Paris dates Of the 18th Dec. give news
from Madrid to the Sd. Mr.. Lamb, the
British Minister, had not then left but was
preparing to depart.
According to the latest intelligence re-
ceived at Paris, the party of the Regent
was at Evora, and the party of Don Miguel,
which entered by the route Of Estremos
was at Evoramontc.
Nothing is known Of the Marquis of
Chave's column since the occupation of
the Castle OF Braganza.
The contest at Braganza appears to
have been Of the most obstinate descrip-
ton, for we are assured that the number
of killed and wounded on both sides is
about 500 men,"
The party which started not long since
for Paris to try to raise small loan for
Peru, cannot succeed in raising one farth-
ing.
II is stated in letter from Lisbon, that
at Braganza the Portuguese rebels were
paying in 20 franc (French) pieces, which
had the appearance of having been very
little used.
A letter from London, Of the 18th ult.
received in N. York, says, 1t is gener-
ally believed that France is at the bottom
OF the aggressions upon Portugal, notwiLh
standing her protestations to the contrary.
Judging from appearances, we are likely
70 have a general stir OH the Continent,
many think tho steps taken by
Ministers will be the only sure way to
prevent it. All public securities have fal
len very much during the week South
American, have gone down full ten pei
cent"
The Liverpool Chronicle Of the 10th.
says. "Tho report of the war has advanc.
ed the price of most articles in our mar.
ket, andrt is very popular amongst all
classes at this place"
A letter dated at London, lltn Dec.
says. A third edition of the Courier
which | forward, contains a declaration OF
war against Spain the result of which
will be an enquiry into the measures taken
BY the Spanish Government to arm the
Royalists but it is generally believed
hat France has paid, armed and clothed
.he troops that are now invading Portugal,
Is month since they had neither pay nor
my thing else from the Spanish Govern
ment.
