diminished and disorganized troops, by dispersion
and desertion. Eight officers, and upwards OF
200 soldiers Of artillery. great numbers OF Sol.
ders of the regular army and militia, and all the
officers of the navy, with the ships OF war pro-
tecting the coast Of Algarve, have joined US. In
fact. hitherto our success exceeds my most san
puine expectations. The only opposition we en-
countered was few shots from the batteries on
landing. and small skrmish in entering Iavira.
The Duke of Terciera is following up the enemy,
and enters Alentejo. The government remains
at Faro. organizing the battalions OF volunteers
militia, &c. Our cavalry is already mounted.
We have found excellent trains of artillery, the
military chest, with about $4,000. left behind 6y

squadron goes tomorrow to blockade the lagus;
and intend, with the ships we here found, to act
in concert with the Duke Of rerceira, and proba-
bly my next will announce to you equal II not
more agreeable tidings."
These are the principal facts stated, upon
which from the quarter through which they are
| received, perfect reliance may be placed. Some
private accounts add, that the Gu thnsiasm OF the
people in favor Of the Queen, was So great, that
in Olhas they put to death one Of the magistrates
who interfered to prevent her being proclaimed
there, and this occurred previous to the arrival
of any part Of the invading force. The Bishop oil
Faro had also sent in his adhesion. Ii was Capt.
Napier's intention to proceed Immediately to
blockade the Tagus, and his force was believed
10 be quite equal to the contest of Migue's squad
ron, in the event Of his falling 10 with it.
It is said that when the City Of Waterford ar.
rived at Falmouth with the news, another vessel,
George-the WITH, was going out OF port with
Marshal Bourmont, destined to the command OF
Migsel's troops before Oporto. The latter yes.
sci was hailed, and the intelligence brought by
remarkable coincidence if what was mentioned
on the subject is true. that both these vessels en-
gagged in employ ments politically speaking OF so
totally opposite nature, belong to the same own
ers!
The decisive blow however, still remains to be
struck. The Lisbonians are disappointed at Ad-
mIral Napier's non appearance with the troops IN
the Tagus, as they believe that the war would
have been terminated almost without loss OF
blood 10 favour Of the Liberals.
The Misueite feet continued in the Tagus.-
The Duke lie Dadova inspected them on the
morning of the 25th; on the occasion the yards
were mpnned. Several of the officers continue
to desert. Every exertion is making to get the
ieet to sea, but the prevailing opinion is that the
crews will not fight. The Government OF Lis.
bon had been made acquainted by telegraph OF
militia regiment having bodily deserted from Ma.
fra, but no certain information had been received
as to where they had gone.
SPAIN.
A private letter from Madrid states, that above
200 men of the Kings body guard, dismissed BY
the Queen, and great number Of French Car
list officers, who had taken refuge at Grana.
da, are gone to Lisbon, with view to serve
the cause of Don Miguel. 1t is said that King
Ferdinand has offered to Don Miguel the Sove.
reign ship Of war, to be at his disposal during
the contest with his brother Don Pedro; but that
| it has been provided for that this vessel shall
hoist Portuguese coors, so that the system OF
non Intervention may not be violated.
FRANCE.
Paris dates are to the 9th of July. There is
no domestic news in these papers, except long
official accounts in the Moniteur OF the Kings
progress, and the loyal addresses with which he
was every where greeted. 1t is not much more
than three years ago since the poor Duchess OF
Berri was received with equal, it not superior,
honurs in the very districts through which King
Louis Philippe is travelling.
The Paris papers Of July 9Th. state the gov
eminent had received teegraphic despatch, an.
nouncing that the frigate Agathe, on board Of
which the Duchess de Berr had sailed, was seen
about five leagues off Carthageas, on the s5th Of
last month. A report had been spread by the
CarIsts that the crew Of the Agathe had aati-
MED in favor of the Duchess, and landed her in
Spain. This despatch appears to contradict it.
We confess that it does not seem to US matter
Of the slightest Importance, whether she lands in
Spain or Sicily. Her late indiscreton has de-
prived her Of all political right.
For some time past political duels have been un-
usually frequent in and near Paris. Within the
first week Of July, two we're fought in the Bots
de Boulogne. between four young men, two OF
whom were dangerously wounded. 40 encoun.
ter also took place in the plain Of Grenelle, dur
ing the same week, where ten soldiers Of differ.

nadiers we're mortalIy wounded. At vincennes
