LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The packet ship Monongahela, at Philadelphia,
brings Liverpool papers the 9th, and London pa
pers to the Sth August. We copy the following
items from the morning papers of Monday. The
information Of the greatest Importance is that which
relates to
Paris, Aug. 1.-The Nouvellisto of yesterday
evening says, that despatch had arrived from
the liberang army in Portugal; that private letters
from Lisbon describe the city plunged in con.
sternatlon. No boat, not fishing smack,
can navigate in the Tagus. The inhabitants are
obliged to be at home at o'clock at which hour
the shops are closed. Lisbon awaits with impa.
tlcncc the cessation CT state of things which
grows Intolcrabe. Various reports are in circula-
tion; those relative to Don Pedro are very favor
ably received The Nouvelliste, which gives an
article from Madrid, of the Goth, with official ac-
counts from Portugal TO the 2lst which confirm,
says the article. ali the reports already us
on the tranquility that the Kingdom enjoys, and
(which is only equalled by the enthusiasm. that all
the inhabitants show for his Majesty, Don Miguel,
10 whom they give the most unequivocal proofs of
their attachment.
The report of Don Pedros victory at Vclonra
over the troops of Miguel, is fully confirmed, Don
Pedro continued occupy Oporto The following
as from the London Times of the 9TH ult:
The apprehensions of the friends of Portuguese
freedom yesterday painfully excited by ac
counts which reached town in the morning, that
the Marquis of Pamela had arrived at Falmouth
from Oporto, and had brought intelligence of the
total failure of Don Pedro's expedition The story
vaguely told, and had multiplied versions: but
in every aspect the news appeared disastrous The
Oporto papers, which had been received TO the Both
anti, did not dissipate the aarm-though they fur
nished no ground to justify it; and every body in.
terested in the intelligence waited with Impotence
for the arrival Of the official dispatches.
We have given in another part of our paper all the
facts which we have been able to collect on the
subject, and we find them if not very ouraging,
at least not disastrous. The very position of the
ex-Empcror may be regarded n warrant for
some apprehension He landed the 9Th or 9th
plt. and we find him at Oporto the Both. In
stead of fighting the troops of his brother the
road Lisbon, he is obliged TO attack them moth
of the Douro. The victory of the Odd is said in
deed to have been complete, but it was followed
by no results. The Miguelists are still north ofthe
Douro and the Imperial troops are terrifying Opor-
to. Thus three weeks have been lost for the inva-
ding army,-the spirit of the people has had an op-
Portnnity of displaying itself, without having an
swered the expectation of the friends of liberty
and the descrtion, which to thin the ranks of
the Usurper, has not taken place.
The reasons of the delay at Oporto instead of
rapid advance Lisbon, is said 10 be the want
of cavalry; but if this be the case the necessity for
such an arm should have been foreseen, landing
ought to have been reflected at place where its alb
would have been less felt. Don Miguel who
supposes that his brothers forces to fight and
net to exercise, will scarcely allow them time to
ganse and discipline necessary part of the troops.
LII the commander of the expedition has to purchase
and train horses before he southwurds, the
war cannot be finished in single campaign.
Such arc some forebodings which we cannot dis
guIse from the public but are bound at the same
time to add, that yet ground TO de-
SPAR. The Imperial troops fought CALAMITY at the
battle of the 23d, and as they can have no chance
of remaining in their native country, or of esca-
ping military execution, but in victory, we may
rely on their continued fidelity and their per-
severing exertions.
10 those who are unacquainted with the Portu-
guese nation. it may appear ominous that the ex-
petition has been joined by few of the inlabi-
tantS of the country. A little reflection will re-
move this source of anxietv. The Portuguese who
live beyond the limits of the two capitals of the
Kingdom, Oporto and Lisbon, take little interest in
pdbc affairs, or in conflicts between different
schemes of government. They are under the do
minion Of their PRIESTS of their landlords, and
unless when excited by fanaticsm, remain passive
spectators Of political changes.
Even in the struggle of 1926, the hostile armies
of Don Miguel and of the Consliiutionalists pass.
cd through the provinces through san unresist-
ing medium" Don Pedro has been entliusinstical-
ly joined by the people Of Oporto, as he would by
the people of Lisbon, but all that he can expect
from the inhabitants of the country is their neutra-
lily and indifference.
The Marquis of Pamela arrived in town last
