ed on saturday morning, off Rocka"ay' the Lon
don pac ket ship Sovereign. Capt Champi'n' "nlch
sailed from Portsmouth on the 10th Aug we
have received by this vessel our files Of London
journals and shipping lists to the evening Of the
18th.
In the actual position Of the two contend'ns
nartie. in Portugal, little alteration appears to
have taken place. The official reports Of Mi.
puei,s generals, of the actions Of the 18th and
9su JuIy are published, the first OF which sim
nly denies that Don Pedro obtained any advan
tase. and the latter admits that the engagement
of the ESD was drawn battle. These are strong
corroborarions Of the accounts given BY the Con
stitu,ioual,sts, already published The details
of killed and wounded and prisoners must OF

the adyices altogether it would appeaf that Don
Pedro is still at Oporto combining himself within
but forufying that position, that ne IS organizing
HE volunteers. who now formDn effective body OF
4ooO or 5000 men, and receiving deserters who
do not. however, confessedly come IN any great
numbers-,hat the Miguelite General, Santa
Martha, is at Penasel, in the neighoorho"d oI

though with an armv Of 1000 men. aud that no
colision however tifling has taken place between
the troops Of the rivals since the affair OF Valoh
ga upon the Esd Of July.
Looking only 10 those accounts from r"rtuga'
which are well authenticated. We cannot resist
the conclusion that Don Pedro will, unless alded
by England and France. fail IN the object Oh ms
expedition. We strongly suspect that to OBTAIN
this ia the object of the Marquis Palmeia's visit
10 London, but we apprehend that the BRUSH
Ministry will not dare venture on the step as 1t
would be 80 contrary to the principles they have
in debate laid down for themselves. France. no
doubt. would fee, less hesitation, though England
would probably look with displeasure at her tax
inc a part which ~ould hereafter give her para
mount influence in q Country where that OF Eng
land has hitherto been predominant.
The nannuvring Of Admiral Sartorius WITH
che SQUADRON of Don Pedro appears to US rather
susn,,ious, aud se do NOT indulge IN the sansu'ne
hon.s EXPRESSED by the English Editors Of the
yas.lt of hattie. We taink it probable he y Ill
mo, venture to engage IN one. The fleet OF Don
Nrsuel is of mucn greater strength, though not
an well manned: and were an engagement to en-.
sue. and the squadron OF Don Pedro De only
cripDled, it would place him and his army IN
desperate condition.
n the canse of Don Pedro shall fail we can
en'y >sy. with the Paris Correspondent oil the
Morning Chronicle it will be the FAULT OF the peo-
pI-; aud the people will suffer. Yet do not des'
pairI The cause Of constitutional liberty Is
making rapid strides in all parts Of the wor'd,
and though in some nations the schOoimaster aud
e,v;,;za,ion have done more. and advanced more
than in others, yet even in Spain and Portugal
the lay is not verv far OF when the cause OF true
freedom, and the true happiness OF mankind shall
succeed, Notwithstanding all the difficulties which
Are now raised to ITS progress. Let not, then,
the defeat of 'on Pedro discourage the friends
of liberty; for time ia only wanted to assure For
tn,a, the benefits which they would now MOLLY
and generously confer upon her.
The affairs of Germany are still fruitful
,hsms If DISCUSSION in England. The King oi
Saxonv has given in his adhesion to the late ar
h,rary decree of the Diet, and as-we have al
ee,dy said. we have no DOUBT. that decree wall
be enforced throughout Germany without meet
ins any material opposition.
we copy an article from the London Courie
on the subject Of affairs between Belgium ant
Holland, which. If true. would leave little douo
that the long pending difficulties between those
two countries are on the eve OF settlement. W.
deem it proper, however. to -emark, that tn'
iourns, Jus, mentioned has already put forth wv
or three similar statements. which the event d''

Louis Philip took place al Compe'gne on the 9t

of that body offer nothing Of peculiar INTEREST,"
One or two of the Tory papers talk OF an ap

good ground to expect such an event at present
The Reformers are dissatisfied with the oPeratio
