LATEST FROM EUROPE.


which furnish us with the annexed ex-
tracts from London papers to the 18th
ult., Liverpool Of the 18th, and Havre
papers to the same date.
The news from Portugal is of rather
an important bearing, as it appears
there was every prospect that the war
between the brothers was on the eve
of terminating, by the triumph of Don
Pedro. In all parts Of Portugal the
people appear to join Pedro's squadron
with enthusiasm.
The second in command of Gen.
Molellos has joined the cause of Donna
Maria, and the General himself, who
is at Salvertaria, will speedily, it is
supposed, followed his example. The
armed police have gone over to the
Queen. There are no accounts Of Mi
guel.
The defeat of Bourmont before o.
porto was much more disastrous than
was at first supposed. Spain shows
no disposition to support Don Miguel.
The London Courier says: No fresh
attack had been made at Oporto up to
the second inst; but firing was still
kept on the boats as they landed stores
for the supply of the Queens forces.
The official communication of Marshal
Bourmont of the attack of the Goth on
Oporto and the report of Baron Clouet,
the commander in chief on that occa-
sion, contain nothing new; but they
are intere sting as the official documents
of military men.
The point of interest now is the
composition Of the Regency. Should
the new government present an APP
pearance agreeable to the Portuguese,
it seems likely tnat the possession of
Lisbon may put an end to the contest.
But if, on the contrary, it should be
one in which the nation could not re-
pose confidence, its moral influence
would be lost, and the struggle would
still remain to be decided by the re-
representatives.. In this latter case, it
must be confessed, Miguel would have
very great advantages. He has ac-
knowledged authority generally thro'-
out Portugal; his troops are numerous
and seasoned; and it is to be observed,
that if the tenure of Lisbon can be
turned to nothing else Than military
position, by dividing the Queens ar
my, it would afford to Miguel the OPP
portunity of attacking either Oporto
or Lisbon with his concentrated forces.
All depends on the Regency; and on
the moral influence which a popular
Regency would possess in issuing its
DEGREES from the capital Of the coun-
try.
Official letters from Lisbon on the
9th of July, are ola cheering nature.
The London Sun says, the civic guard
who had been disbanded by Don Migu-
ell, have taken arms spontaneously in
favor of Donna Maria, and the popu-
lation generally had shown the great
est enthusiasm for the constitutional
cause. The Patriarch of Lisbon had
refused to accompany the Dukes of
Pamela and Terce;ra, sent to compli-
ment them. He also performed mass
before several members of the new 90.
vernment, and offered up prayers for
the Queen Donna Maria and the Duke
Regent.
When the accounts left, he was pre-
pairing pastoral letter to the clergy,
calling upon them to support the legiti-
mate sovereign. The letters from O..
porto are of the 31st ult. They state
that the Miguelites, on the attack of
the 26th, had an immense number of
superior officers killed or Wounded
Among the former were General Cor
doza, and one of the sons of Bour
mont. Among the latter were Gene
rails Bourmont, Clunet, and Amos and
another son of Bourmont. Lemos had
stated that in the affair ofthe 25th the
Miguelites had 5000 men put hors de
combat.
Accounts had been received from
Constantinople of the 18th July, but
they were not of much moment. The
Sultan is said to be greatly under Rus
sian influence, but not so the major part
of the Divan. Admiral Malcolm and
the British fleet had returned to the
Dardanelles.
No copy ofthe Treaty between Rus
STA and the Porte had reached England,
but the information received confirms
previous statements of its contents.-
The effects (say the English papers,
must be, we trust, to draw closer, if
possible, the friendly relations between
france and England, and hope ulti-
mately to strengthen the alliance of all
the powers of the west Of Europe.
The French papers contain nothing
new, beng chiefly occupied with &C.
counts Of the disturbances in Switzer.
