AFFAIRS OF THE PENINSULA

II was after being completely beaten by
General Villa Tlor and Clau,,ino, in tire
province Of Beira, that the Portuguese reb-
els were forced to abandon Almel1a, and
the whole Province. The Marquis and
Marchioness of Chaves, the BrigadicrGen.
Iordao, and the Governor of A,mcida, es-
capped with 800 men OF the Spanish garris-
on. Ciuda1 Rodrigo, marched 10 meet
them in order to disarm them, but gave them
time to repass the Douro. and return into
Portugal by the Province of 'rras- os- Montcs
Mr. Lamb, the English Ambassador, being
informed Of this conduct, complained very
Sci iously to the Spanish Government, and
it is in consequence Of this complaint, that
Gen. Longa, the Governor of Ciuaad Rod
rigo, and The commander OF the detachment
have been suspened from their functions,
and are all three brought before Court
Martial. This satisfaction, SO promptly Civ
en- to the English Government, proves that
! the positive demonstrations of the British
\ Cabinet have not been without effect on the
! Spanish Government, notwithstanding the
rather naughty tone Of its last circular.
we learn also, that the Marchioness of
4 Chaves has repaired to Madrid with the
permission of the King; and that the Mar
4 quls remains at Salamanca, wounded. The

After what has passed in th> province Of
Beira, it seems by no means probable, that
the insurgents, who have sought refuge in
the northern provinces have been able tc
maintain their ground

A letter from Rio Janeiro, dated about the
18th nf FEBRUARY, s,atea, that the Empe-
:or returned on the 18th inst from St. Cath
arines and Rio tsrandc. and immediately on
his arrival displaced his ministers and made
new appointments. The reason for this
sudden change is said to have originated in
his minister's not being sufficiently respect
ful to the Countess Santos, during his alb
sence."

tween Bu"nos Ayes and Brazil had grown

Tie heavy burdens which 1t imposes on the

The New York American gives the fol-
lowing as the cause Of the recently contem-
plated duel between Mr. Wright and Mr.
Saunders ---General Saunders is the person
whose resolution on the public printing has
made 50 much talk in the House of Repre-
scntatives, and is from North Carolina. Mr..
Wright from Ohio. The cause Of offence
we believe was, that General Saunders, at
ter launching anathemas against all otlce-
seekers, Office holders, and others living up
on the "puhlic crib" was reminded IN the
iiousc by Mr. Wrigat, that he, the afore-
said Saunders, had very recently sought to
i fastcn his teeth in the "publc cub" in the
| shape Of Clcr!; ofthc Supreme Court OF the
United States, for which office he was an
unsuccessful apphcaut. Mr.. Wright refer
ing to Mr.. saunders disappointment, and t.
his resolution calling on Mr.. Clay for his
] reasons tor removing certain printers, sug-
acstcd that tho latter should be so amended
as also to ask from the Judges Of the Sn
premc Court, their reasons for having ap
pointed another person Clerk. This, anS

1t is stated that the recall of the Swiss
troops from Snain. had produced great sen.
sation in the Spanish capital. and equal a
larm in King Ferdinand, although it had
been expected for twenty days that France
would execute her threat, il Calomarde, and
the other captain generals who took part in
the invasion OF Portugal. we're not dismiss
ed. The King stated to the French Ambas-
sador, and to The commandant of the Swiss
guard, that he would take on himself the
responsibility ot OBTAINING the guard till he
could receive reply from Charles &; but
he could obtain nothing more than that il
should march in small divisions; and thus
the rear be still near Madrid when this re-
ply should be received. Ferdinand, it is
stated in some letters, had desired to be es-
! corted by the French troops to Pampeluna.
Speculation is busy in regard to the course
of the Emperor of Russia. BY some ac-
counts he is said to have approved the pro-
ccedings of Great Britain, and entirely dis
approved those of Spain. Bv others he is
supposed to have serious and extensive de-
signs against ENGLAND, and to push the war
with Persia. with m ultimate view to the
British possessions in India. An English
print saws -
1t is stated that the secret treaty between

year 1914, binding this country to the pay
ment of an annual subsidy of E200. 600 to the
Schah Of Persia, and the latter Prince to
the maintenance ola stipulated body of men,
is still in existence. What operation thi,
compact may have on the present crisis Of
war with Russia is difficult, and 10 doubt
a very serious question.
BY recent arrival from lisbon, we learn
; that considerable dissentions existed be-
tween the Constitutionalists and Rovalists,
that An engagement had taken place be-
tween them near Onorto, about the 10Th of
January, in which the former were ,ctori-
ous.
Ten thousand British troops arrived at
Lisbon on the 1st or I'd OF January.
; The British Parliament was to assemble
: on the 9Th. Ii had been supposed the first
thing taken up would be the corn laws
a The ministers have. however, announced
that the subject would not be brought for

ming is to introduce the question to the Com
! mons, and Lord Liverpool in the House Of
