The last accounts from the East are to the
| cath of June, at which date the Russians were
proceeding in an almost uninterrupted course
| of victory. In addition to the capture Of Brai-
low, two other important fOrtresses had sur
rendered, one situated on the Danube, and
the other on the Black Sea. By the posses
session of the former, the Russians have Sc
cured the rear of their right and left TANKS,
while the latter will enable them to receive
supplies of provisions and ammunition from
Odessa. In all the captured places the Rus
slams found large quantities of military stores,
which fell into their hands, as well as great
amount of artillery. 1t is said that the Sui
tan begins to tremble in view of the destruc-.
ton which threatens him, and that he has APP,
pealed to the courts of London and Paris for
advice and assistance. To allay the fears Of
his superstitious followers, who are ready to.
attribute their msfortunes to the destruction
of the Jannissaries, the Porte has pubsheda
pamphlet .justifying that measure. He has.
also published an answer to the Russian man.,
ifesto, in which he denies ever having violated
any existing treaty, and charges back this ma
tiona sin upon his powerful and invading
neighbour, and complains bitterly of the con-
duet of Russia in regard to the affairs of
Greece, and especially of the fatal battle at
Nayarino. The Sultan it appears begins to
fear either the loss Of his European possessions,
or of his own head, which will sit pretty light
Iy upon his shoulders, should the Russians
advance rapidly upon Constantinople.
The subject of the American Tariff appears
likely to excite considerable attention in the
British Parliament. In the House of Com
mons on the eth ut Mr. Stewart asked wheth-
er Government intended to take the subject
of the Tariff into consideration, with view,
if possible, of applying some remedy to the
evils IS hich it threatened to the British manu-
facturers? and the Chancellor of the Excheq-
uer in answer, said, that the President of the n
Boardof Trade would give the subject his
best attention; whether by proposing retail
atOry measures, or removing certain prohibi-
tory duties upon the products of American
Industry. remains to be seen.
From the following article it will be seen
that the efforts of the friends of Constitution
II freedom in Portugal have terminated in
defeat; and that the usurper Miguel is abso-
lutte king of that distracted country.
SURRENDER OF OPORTO.
London. July Is.
The hopes of the PUBLIC are finally dlsap~
pointed with regard to the result of the antic-
ipated struggle in Portugal and Miguel T., its
absolute king now relgning withas little OPP
position or controul at Oporto as at Lisbon.
In the former city, he can even command a
double round of illuminations, double explo-
sion of TeaDeums and sky rockets, Of pety =
and gun powder; for adding military success
to his kingIy elevation. By two vessels that
arrived off Dover. the Jane Brown and the
True Love- we have received letters from O.
porto of the 5th instant, incusive,and nothing
could be more disastrous to the Junta than the
intelligence which they communicate. The
army of DonNMiguel was then in possession Of
the city. The troops of Don Pedro had been
completely dispersed, and their leaders had
taken refuge on board the Steam Boat in the
Douro. Such order as the Miguelists mean

tablIshed and no trace existed of any resist
ance to the usurper's power. The English
families who had embarked with their books
and treasures on board the Ships of War or
Merchantmen in the river, seeing that no plum
der or disturbance followed the entrance of
the ahsolutionis,s, had either disembarked or
were about to do so in order to go to their homes
and resume their business. The work of con-
fiscation and plumber was reserved for those
natives, who had hOisted without being able
to support the flag of fidelity and freedom
Don Miguel's force in Oporto is stated to am

probably great exaggeration. A body of
suerrllas,which endeavored to reap its harvest
of pillage and confusion had been resisted and
expelled by the force appointed to watch ov-
er the tranquility of the place. The constitu-
tional troops have disbanded without striking
blow. Those of them who can make their
peace with the Miguellsts will again enter the
ranks. while such as are of higher rank, or
more deeply compromised. will endeavour to-
make their escape out of the country by sea
orby land. 1t would appear that the official
bulletin of the Lisbon Gazette descriptive of,
the state of matters at Grijo, on the LIST instant
was perfectlv correct The constitutional .r
