From the London Courier, May H.
We have received, this morning, the austrian
Observer TO the Sd inst. 1t mentions, under dale
oil ConstantinopIe, April 10Th, that the first divi-
sion Of the Turkish feet had sailed, and that
the second division was about to follow. AT
the end Of the preceding month, three Servan
Deputies had arrived at Constantinople, bring
ing news that the Bishop Of BELGRADE was dead,
and requesting the Porte TO appoint his sue
cessor. The operations by land were con,inu-
ed against the Greeks, and il is denied tnat
those Of KARAIsKAKI's had been crowned with
any decisive success.
From the Paris Quotidienne, Muy 10.]
The letters from Madrid received this day, to
the lst inst. announce an engagement on the
frontiers Of Gaiicia between the Spaniards and
Portuguese The latter, it is said, contrary to
the faith of treaties, had penetrated into seve-

soldiers of the regiment of militia OF Monterey
marched in haste against the Portuguese, and,
notwithstanding their inferiority in poirt Of

recross The frontier. The militia, carried away
BY their ardor, penetrated, on their return, into
the Portuguese territory, where a number OF
them were made prisoners. Ills supposed that
this affair would necessarily Lead to com
mencement Of hosliIilies.

line, which occupied the latter city, have taken
position on the extremity Of the frontier.-
These several movements seem 10 indicate an
intention on the part Of Gen. Sarsheld TO pene-
trate into Portuga by Cas,el Bruanco and the
Province of Bera.
Poriugai--A letter from Lisbon dated May
I'd, gives information of mutiny that had ia
ken place in the fortress of Elvas on the 3oth
April. The influence of the priests is said to
have been exerted in favour of the revolters
There were three regiments of Infantry in the
| fortress at the time of the revolt; detachment
of only 500 remained faithful to their standards
the rest, to the number of 1900, cried ITO
arms and mutinied None of the officers join
ed the mutineers. The flags of the different
regiments were retained, and did not suffer the
disgrace of being in the possession OF the re-
bells. The regiment of Cacadores, and the Ar
tillery, refused to take any part in the revolt;
the former went out of the town and blockaded
it, along with the faithful corps Of officers. The
revolters being thus deserted, barricaded
themselves in barrack; the slaughter OF them
in this situation was dreadful; but the despatch
did not mention the number. The whole were
