Nxw. FROM OpoRro.-The Hermes arrived
AZ This MACE on the Sth and sailed the same day.
Desertions from 100 to 200 per day, from Don
Misuel's army. were taking place, anu MS FORCES
had. in consequence, retired three days march
from their former position. The militia were re-
turning to their homes in great numbers, owing
to a great scarcity Of provisions. The people
we're in high spirits, and were enisting very last
10 Don Pedro's army, which. On the 5th' had In.
creased to $4,000 effective men, whilst that VI
Don Miguel had decreased to half the NUMBER
they mustered on the 22d July A corvette Of
% guns, brig Of 90 guns, and two heavy gun
boats with So FOUNDERS, we're nearly ready Tor
sea: and Others in preparation. Don Pedro was
most indefatgable in his exertions from morning
till night. and personally inspecting the troops.
The Captain of the Don John Portuguese "a,
the commander of a corvette, with other omcers,
and two ecclesiastcs, amounting to tile NUMBER
of 81, had taken refuge on board the Donha
Maria. Eight vessels captured by Admiral ear'
torius at the entrance OF Lisbon, were lying az
Oporto, with cargoes valued at 100000 one.
tenth of which is to be given to the capturers, and
the remainder deposited, or restored, according
to circumstances.
About midnight on the 4th, sharp firing COM
menced. and was distinctly heard on board the
English squadron. but the darkness OF the night
the result being known. On the
morning of the 5th, Admiral Sartorius was seen
to leeward, beating up with all his squadron,
and a Portuguese brig Of Don Miguei's squadron
making for the harbor with heavy press Of sail,
but no tidings could be given Of the remainder
of Don Mguel's squadron. Admiral Sartorius
had evidently out manGuyred them, but what
had taken place we have vet to learn.
LIsBoN, Aug. 8 Another, and more impor.
tant event has taken place to-day, which trust
will forward the cause Of Don Pedro-an event
which we hardly expected. The squadron Of
Don Miguel has at length vcntured out TO attack
that Of Sartorius. This morning, about nine
o'clock, Don Migue's squadron. at anchor near
Cachias. got under weigh. and short time after
wards Admiral SartOrius was seen to do the same.
By | o'clock the whole of Don Miguel's squad.
ron was over the bar, consisting Of one ship OF
IN. line (,he Don Joao.) two frgates, three cor
vettes, and two briggs. The Don Joao. frigate,
and corvette, advanced first, directing their
course towards Admiral Saratorius, who kept his
course direct to the westward, suppose, to
bring his enemy we'll out to see. IN the mean
time, an American frigate appeared IN sight,
which was approached BY an English brig oil war,
and soon after the former changed her course and
came into the Tasus, where sheis now at anchor.
Between fonr and five o'clock p NJ. nothing
more was to be seen Of either Of the c"ntendna
souadrons, which had quite disappeared in the
west. Ahou, five O'Clock FIVE ships Of the Eug.
lish squadron came out from the BAY Of CaScaes
TO the North of ST. Juian's. and steered sou'h-
west, directly towards the point whe the two con-
tending squadrons had vanished in the distance.
In about couple Of hours the English ships re-
turned The wind blows pretty fresh from the
North West. By to morrow ii is to be hoped
that Admiral Sartorlus will give some account
Of them, as he has now got them fairly out. Ii
Don M,guel's feet were well manned with able
seamep, it would be considered of treble the
strength Of the other. Two or three of Sartori-
us's ships were off ST. Ubes; but signal was
made Of recall, and it IA to be presumed they
have Joined.
LONDON, Aug l5.-A letter from Lisbon
states that the strongly garrisoned fortress OF AL
media has declared Tor Donna Maria. This for
tress is situated on the river Goa. in the North
ern part Of Portugal. on the eastern frontier, and
is nearly Opposite the Spanish town Ciudad TO
drigo.
The possession Of this position is, in itself, Of
great importance; and much more SO from its in
dication of the favorable disposition OF the coun
try towards the liberating army Of the Duke Of
| Braganza.
LONDON. Aug. 15.-1he Hermes packet has
arrived at Falmouth, with letters from Lisbon
and Oporto The general tenour Of those we
have seen are Of very favorable and cheering
nature. The Army Of Don Pedro was increas.
ing largely, and the bockadins squadron had
captured and sent into Oporto twelve vessels,
the cargoes Of which are Of valuable descrip.
ton. The following are the names OF those cap.
ture,. the knowledge Of which has created good
deal Of sensation at Lloyds:-The Nova Paque-
ia, from China; Louisa, from Pernambuco: Ex.
perto. from Para: Nuva Diana and the Constante.
