INVASION OF PORTUGAL.---It appears that
the principal invasion of Portugal was made
by a body of about 1900 Portuguese retu-
gees, with arms, it is said, from the Spanish
arsenal, joined by more or less Spanlards,
under the command of the Marquis Of
Cheves. They marched from Zamora, in
Spain, upon Braganza, town III the north
western corner of Portugal. About 500
troops, stationed there, alter a severe act
ion, retired to the castle, and the town was
pilaged by the invad ,rs. The castle held
out, at the last accounts, and troops were
marching to oppose the rebels, but little
confidence appears to nave been placed in
the fidelity of the troops, and consldera-
BILE alarm was felt of the approach OF the
rebels at Oporto. The invasion is not aP-
parenhy very formidable, and it will rroba-
bly, be checked, unless great treachery
should be disclosed IN the Portuguese ranks
before the arrival of the British troops

on a war, however well inclined it may bt

NAss.cuusErrs sAyFAIRs.-We crave the in-
diligence OF the editor Of the Boston Statesman, II
we suffer ourselves to offer word or two in rela-
ton to the Senatorial Election in Massachusetts,
and. at the same moment, anure him, that We are
not at all disposed to intermedde with The politics
Of the oil "Bay Stale
Ia looking over the Statesman Of Thursday, the
following paragraph attracted our eye we read
4 with surprise and we're compelled 10 doubt the |
since, ity of the writer.
"The Republican Senators Of this Common |
wealth have covered themselves with hono.r. ahd
entitled themselves to the lasting gratitude of the
Republican party. They have acted with a hrm-
ness and dignity worthy the Csuscr,pt Fathers OF
the best days oi the Roman Republic They have
preserved the Republican party OF Massachusetts
from ruin and disg ace, and have noby maintained
| the cause Of principle. In the Hon. John Mills,
they have elected consistent Republican,, States
| nan Of ability, capacity aud experience. For the
| interest Of the Commonwealth, no better selection
| could possibly have heen made. The eastern part
| OF the State, and the commercial interest are re-
| presented by Mr.. Ssbee-and the agricultural and
manufacturing interest Of the western counties will
have able represen tave IN the Hon. John Mills.
We are perfectly willing that Mr.. Greene should
enjoy his own opinions in relation to the merits of
private and public individuals. but it Goes appear
little singular that his attachments to his party,
should close his eyes to the merits of those who.
for certain reasons, are not always approved by
the ancient republican party.
The gentleman spoken Of by the Statesman. i'
we are willing to admit, very goo citizen, and
an honourable man but how would ais political
merits or talents stand, when weighed in the bal
am, e with those OF the present incumbent aud a'pi
rant for Office, the Hon. Elijah IL. Mills-a mar
whom party would en- ieavour to remove from a.
office which he has so long End ably filled, 20 th'
!. credit of Massachusetts,, and to himself.
v There is something connected with this canvas
O which i, little singular, and we believe almost un
paralleled n the history OF political transactions
Both of the can id,tes are friend to the presen
a,iministratiod--on Of them has served almost 81
year. in the Senate, and has acquitted himself wit
II much honour--no fault is found with him but g
the opposition party in Massachusetts, are convince
of that they cannot elevate one Of their own men
