kATER FROM FRANCE AND POR-
TUGAI.

TUGAL.
By DE- brig Mary Jane, Capt. M
kinstsy from Rochelle, We have re-
ceived Paris papers Of the 18th Sept. |
and Bordeaux Of the 18th. +
We learn Com these papers that |
Marshal Bourmont had actually at
tackled Lisbon, aud had been repulsed.
The inteEi gence was received BY al
courier despatched by the British Am
bassador at Madrid. Reports also
prevailed Of subsequent attack, in
which the Miguelites had been sue
cessfHl; but these evidently were not
&c be depended upon.
the KING Of France had returned
% Paris from his tour in Normandy.
PASS, Sept. l5.--Yesterday We rel
ceived news from Portugal BY Ex-|
press. The troops Of Don Miguel, at.
ter accommodating Lisbon on the 4th,
made general attack on that city on
the 5th. They have been repulsed.
The two armies on the 9Th and 9TH,
preserved their respective positions;
another battle was expected.
PARls, Sept. l5.--Yesterday the
King, Queen, and Madame Adelaide,
arrived at the Tuilleries at three quar-
tiers past one o'clock.
The American ship Delaware Of
eighty guns, which sailed from New
York on the 18th Of last month, arri-
ved on the evening fthe 18th in Cher
hourg Roade. This vessel has on
board Mr.. Livingston, Ambassador Of
the United States to France.
PARls, l4th Sept.-M. de Bour-
mont has failed in FIRST attack on Lis
bon. He was making dispositions on
the 7th for another attempt on the FOL-
lowing days. II 10 lair to suppose that
his chance Of success has diminished
at Lisbon, as we'll as at OPorto. All
delay is favorable to the constitutional
cause. The Miguelite general made
immense efforts during his march OF
the capital, to organise something like
an army. He prepared, a. we'll az he
could, provisions for his undisciplined
or beaten soldiers; but in fifteen days
. Portuguese cannot be made u we'll
drilled solder. After the check at
Oporto, what NJ. de BourmOnt had
msst to apprehend, was a FIRST, even
partial defeat; and it cannot be doubt
ed that a general battle without sue
cess, has caused encouragement and
brought disorder in the Miguelite
ranks, and destroyed, in one day, the
order which the general had cndeav-
-ored to introduce in the army. 1t is
not here the question ola regular siege:
it ~ Of a battle on fortifications thrown
up in haste. M. de Bourmont knew
well enough the troops he commands,
to take advantage of their first ardor,
and led them to the attack in the hope
ofcarrying the city IN the onset. But
these troops once rePulsed, they have
to fight another battle with diminished
hopes aud courage.
BORDEAUX, 18th Scpt.-The doubts
which We expressed on the subject Of
the repo,te capture Of Lisbon on the
7ih, have been justified ny the event,
according to some PARIS journals.-
Bourmont attacked the capital Of Por-
tugal on the 5th, and was repulsed
with vigor. The 9th and 7th the two
armies were in sight Of each other, but
did not fight; and if a new attack was
attempted it could not have been be-
fore the Sth. Notwithstanding our
wish that the cause Of Don Pedro may
triumph, because we believe it to be
that Of liberty, we cannot participate
in the opinion expressed yesterday BY
another paper in this city, which EN-
rahtically pronounced that the M,gu-
lites we're completely Destroyed
The language OF the bulletin issued BY
the Sentioelle de Bayonne, and which
We have republisbed, is far from justi-
flying the belief that in a great or de-
=. cisiye victory; because that bulletin
.ays that Villa Flor re-~ntered Lisbon
Immediately after the engagement. 1t
is not thus an experienced general pro.
cecds. lie would avail himself OF his
first success, and pursue the remains
ofthe enemies battallions, without re-
turning within the walls OF the CAPT
tai. and giving them time to rally and
fight another battle in its vicinity.
Matters remain then before Lisbon
nearly the same as they we're, with
this difference, however, that the
check experienced BY Bourmont on the
:tb. as we'll as his non-success before
