In the first place, they ell concur in repre- scn,ng
the spirl, f'hc troops and the people ofOforo us
being excellent, and devoted 10 the cause of Don
Pedro but in other respects they do NOT give any
account Of advances madeby hiln,or any immediate
prospect Of such result. In the next, lhcy ring
the highly important Intelligence Of the boliuess of
Don Misuels squadron, which has come up the
coast and was, when the Aban sailed abou,
three leagues 10 the westward Of the mouth OF the
Douro
With respect TO matters in Oporto, the accounts
bring nothing new Don Pedro WINS limited 10 the
town and suburb of Villa Nova on the opposite side
OF the Donro lie has no cavalry and cannot 90
beyond his ou,losts. The report Of a revolt at AL.
media was rife ia the town, as well as that Miguel,
had been obliged to Withdraw part of his force in
orier 10 crush this opposition. The boldness of
.Misucls troops had not, however, diminished, us
they had, Notwithstanding the possession of Villa
Nova and the strong convcn, ofSarca on the hill a.
boye ii, gone lower down on the south side Of the
river, and annoyed the town with musheir. De
scrt'ons had taken place but not to any great ex
tent, and they had occurred on both sides The
north side ofthe Douro, for some miles around was
completely occupied by Don Misucs troops, which
were. by common report, msgnlhed 10 the amount
Of forty thousand men
The garrison and population was nevertheless in
high spirits, and confident Of victory aud every
practicable mode Of fertilization had been rcsortcd

Letters, twas said, had been received from tho
interior, stating tina, il Don Pedro commanded i'm
pl'e't obedience they would render it at once bu,
without such authority, guaranteed, of course, by
sufficient force they dared no, brave tho tyranny Of
Don Miguel.
