Of the Day Of Lisbon, Don Miguel, and
his ferocious adherents. His Miguelite

1 The accounts Of the raising Of the
blockade of Madeira; and the departure
Of vessels. to join the expedition, are not
more particular than those we have al
ready received by arrivals from. the is
lands;
A letter from the Azores says- that
the Emperor arrived at Fayal on the
23d Of May, and adds,--"He appears
quite proud land with good reason)' Of
his officers, who are very fine set of
men, from the highest to the lowest.--
Our force is really very strong, and all
in most excellent discipline, amounting
'to'upwards of 1000 Portuguese, 500 or
600 British, and nearly 700 Polish and
French soldiers W
n"Transports are ready to embark the
whole, and one 6ne vessels is retained,
being we'll manned and armed, for the
conveyance ofthe Emperor and his suite.
A good deal is made of the affair with
the American vessel which was ordered
oft, and afterwards returned, under the
protection of the Constellation frigate,
Of which we haye already had the Cap
tain's own account. The letter in the
English paper says: IN
We have received accounts of one of
our small schooners off Medeira, having
treated an American vessel, whilst en-
deavoring to break the blockade, in a
very gallant manner.
After warning the American without
effect, she set sail after her, but the Am
erican, to escape, ran over q reef, which
nearly destroyed her, rather than be cap
tured.
The batteries directly opened on the
schr. who, however, returned the salute,
and destroyed one or two houses by her
fire.
