PoRTUG AL.-Thc latest accounts from Portugal re
present the affairs of that Kingdom as being in no bet
ter situation. Twenty-three Constitutionalists were
c~ondemnedm April, as having been concerned in the
InsurrectlOn at Oporto last Year, twelve of whom
were executed, and eleven banishcd. The expcdi-
ton to Terceira sailed on the 9th April. In a debate
in the French Chamber on the 10th, M. dc PoInDiete
remarking on expenditure, said that the conveyance
OF an African lion to Paris cost 1000 francs; but that
in1826 it cost the French double that sum to accelerate
the arrival in Portugal of Tiger, or biped monster,
much more dangerous. This remark led TO one of
those scenes OF seeming confusion, common in the

Fhe accounts from Lisbon Of the 9th mention Chat
the sentence against the twelve Constitutionalist at
Oporto was carried into execution on the 7th--and
this IS the first proof furnished of a more humane
policy! The population of Oporto were thunder
struck at the order for the execution, received on the
very day when the decree ofthe Minister of Justice,
promising a Inilder system, arrived. A good deal of
IRRITATION and discomfort was manifested; but says a
letter from Lisbon
"ln order to cool the fermentation the authorities
caused ii to be published that it was a mere formality
and the Royal pardon was depended upon, and was
hourly expected. They succeeded thus to calm and
deludc the irritation felt for the respectable and limo
cent victims, until early on the Thursday morning.
when, as in the case of Brigader Morcira and his fell
tov-sutfcrers here, a temporary gallows appeared in
the finest square of Oporto (Praca NOvo.) The most
imposing military dispositions were displayed, the I'M
fortunate victims were led TO the spot, aud by ten
O'Clock they were no more.
Accounts from Terceira say that the garrison ortlIat
Island Is composed of $500 men, and that perfect
tranquility prevails there. No fears are entertained
OF an attack by Don Miguel, and the Notifications are
ji the best state OF defence. 4 merchant slip had
arrived from Portugal, with several Portuguese emil
grants, among whom were some naval officers.
