 LONDON, Feb. 10.
 Spain and Portugal.-There has been no direct intelligence since our last. All the news we have received, indirectly, ,how- ever, through France and Spain, tends strongly to prove the hopeless dispersion and defeat of the apostolical rebels. The battle of Cornoches de Beira is stated to have been for some time warmly contest ed and the success of the royalists to have been, at last owing to a report, (how or iginated, or how circulated, during the heat of battle, does not appear,) that the English troops, after their landing, had im- mediately marched for Beira, and were al- most close at hand. Upon this notion get ting ground, the officers immediately be- took themselves to flight, and large DOT tOA Ol WCAt ONCl tO lAlC NOH" tinential army. After tho battle, the news of amnesty being published by the Regent induced still larger number, indeed al- most the whole corps of Magessi, one of the rebel commanders, to the Court de Villa Flor. The remainder took refuge in tho Spanish territory.
 Of the manner in which they were there received, the accounts are by no means clear. Some state that they were supplied with arms and amuniton, and e. ven that large sum of money was imme- diatly sent off from Madrid, for the pur- pose to enable them to make second inva- sion which indeed is alledged to have ta- ken place. It is, in fact, probable, that some of these refugees have again crossed Duro, and thus entered the province oi Tras os Montes but there is little proba- bility of their being in much force, or, con- sidering the way in which opinion must now be operating in favor of the constitu- tional cause, of their murders receiving much accession.
 On the other hand, M. Salmon, ,the Span ish minister for foreign affairs, is stated tc have addressed an official note to MT. Lamb the British Ambassador, represented"That his Catholic Majesty has seen, with the utmost indignation, the conduct recently pursued by Gen. Longa and by the Gov ernor of Ciudad Rodrigo, who, in contra vention of the orders which had Eeen sent to disarm the Portugnes rebels who had re- entered the Spanish territory, and to di- rect them to the interior, 40 leagues from the frontier, have manifested so little zea in fulfilling the directions of his Majesty that the refugees who entered on the 12tl inst. at different points on the banks of thu Torneo, had been suffered to repass tho Douro, by the Hinajoso and Friexenda and to re-enter the Portuguese province O Tras os Monies and that in consequence of theSe occlrrenceS Gen.

THE LADIES' FRIEND.

Pastoretta was the daughter OF plain
country gentleman, whose independent cir.
cumstances enabled him to give her liberal
advantages. She passed through all the
common forms of education. and no expense
was spared to accomplish her mind and per-
son.
But her parents, though kind and indui-
gent, were illiterate. and gave her entirely
into the hands of her teachers, not pretend
ing to dictate in what way she should be
TAUGHT. or how her studies should be arrang-
ed. In the management OF her scieutlhc
pursuits, the too common error prevailed.
Every study calculated to elevate her mind
and abstract her from Standardization, was
enforced upon her as task, to which she
must submit, because such knowledge as 1t
would furnish was fashionable; as rezuard
for accomplishing such tasks, she was al
lowed to read romances. novels, and that
captivating kind of poetry which heats the
imagination, but never mends the heart
She abounded in feeling and in sentiment;
but it was that feeling and that sentiment
which centres in self. 1t was easy and de-
liphtful to recline on bed of roses, and melt
in tender anguish over dying insect; but
carry Pastoretta into sick room where
poverty and sickness are united; bid her
watch dying friend bid her perform those
Offices which the weakness attendant upon
long sickness and confinement require, and
she becomes impatient, her nerves are at
fected, her delicate frame is exhausted, and
every pretencc is laid hold ofthat can ex-
cusc her attendance, OIL free her from care.
Yet had you told Pastoretta she was desti-
tute of sensiblity. she would have thought
you barbarous. She had been indulged in
light reading till her mind was too much en-
ervated to bear the discipline OF reason; and
as soon as she was freed from the restraints
of school, all high pursuits were thrown
by, and she was careful to cherish those de-
iightful emotions only which she found lux
uriantly described by the poet and the nov-
elist When brought down by unprosper-
GUS fortune to the gross realities of life, des-
pair and suicide ensued.
The restraints of parental authority. mild
as it was, early became irksome; and Pasto-
retta determined by marrying to become her
ewn mistress. A husband she was sure,
could not oppose the wishes pf.a wife like
her. She promised herself a lifs of rap
ture, and believed that all distress would
cease when once freed from a Eother's eau
tons and fathers advice, which she eyss
considered as the offspring ofprudcry, pre-:
judce and affection. and treated with open
csntempt by acting in direct opposition.

trace Of its interment. Some of Braddock's
affectionate soldiers SO marked the trees near

Of his interment, new emphatically termed

ern side of the National road, seven miles
east of .Uniontown.
1t had been rumoured for an early period.
that Braddock had been shot by his men,
More recently it has been stated by one who
could not be mistaken, that in the course Of
the battle, Braddock ordered the Provincial
troops to form a column. They, however,
adhered to the Indian mode of firing sever

The American Quarterly Review, which
has been issued from the press at Philadcl-
phia, contains an able summary otthe Pre-.
iiminary sketch of the French Revolution
prefxed by Sir Walter Scott, to his forth
coming life Of Napoleon Bonaparte. The
editor of the Review having been permitted,
by the proprietors of that work, to select
for publication some of the most interesting
passages. we take the opportunity to lay
before our readers the account which gift
ed and eloquent historian has given OF the
terrible attack OF the popu!ace on the pail
ace of Versailles, on the 5th of October,
which resulted in the torcible transfer of
the royal family in, but an actual imprison-
ment at, the Thuilleres in Paris. We re-
gret that our limits will not permit US to
publish the whole of this sketch, as it IS
contained in the Review, and which is every
way worthy fits distinguished author. The
most material parts of it, however. are given
