VERY LATE FROM EUROPE.

snip ork, CaPtain wye, and the NORM
America, Captain Macy, have arrived,
the former from London, and the latter
from Liverpool; bringing London papers
to the 10Th, and Liverpool to the 10th Of
September, ult. The brig Mary-Jane,
Capt. M'Kinstry, has also arrived from
France, bringing Paris papers to 18th,
and Bordeaux to the 18th, inclusive
Our European advices are consequently
Fourteen Days later than before.
i Important from Portugal Information
was received in Paris by Express, on the
l4th of September, that General Bour-
mont, at the head of the troops of Don
! Miguel, after accommodating Lisbon on
the 18th, made general attack on the
5lh-but was repulsed. On the 9th and
7h, the armies preserved their respec-
! tive positions, and another battle was eX. .
| pectcd. We quote the following article
upon this subject, from a Paris paper:-
/ PARIS, Sept. 14th.-M. de Bourmont
has failed in first attack on Lisbon,
He was making dispositions on the 7th,
for another attempt on the following day.
1t is fair to suppose that his chance of
success has diminished at Lisbon, as well
as at Opor.o. All delay is favorable to
the constitutional cause. The Miguel
ite General made immense efforts during
his march on the capital, to organize
something like an army. He prepared,
as well as he could, provisions for his
crowds Of undisciplned or beaten sol.
diers; but in fifteen days Portuguese
cannot be made a well-drilled SOLDIER,
After the check at Oporto, what NJ. dc
! Bourmont had mos! to apprchend was at
first, even partial defeat; and it cannot
be doubted that a general battle without
success, had caus I'd discouragcment and
brought disorder in tho Miguelite ranks,
and destroyed in one day, the order
which the General had endeavored 10 in
troduse in the army 1t is not here the
question of regular siege, it is Of bat
tie or notifications thrown up in haste. -
Nj. &c Bourmont knew well enough the
troofs he commands, to take advantage
Of their first ardour and lead them to the 7
attack, in the hope Of carrying the city
in the onset But these troops once re-
pulsed, they have to fight another battle
with diminished hopes and courage.
Matters remain then before Lisbon
nearly the same as they were, with this
difference however, that the check en-
perienced by Bourmont on the 5th, as
well as his non success before Oporto,
cannd otherwise than materially discou-
rage the besiegers, and give hope to the
Constitutional troops. We believe then
the cause Of Donna Maria is on the point
Of triumphing, though every thing is not
yet gained; at any rate the contest can
not last much longer. 4
1t cannot be denied, however, that
Don Miguel had succeeded in bringing
a pretty strong force before Lisbon such
as it is. II is stated that he had 25, 900
men, occupying all the points around the
capital in circle Of six leagues. II
England The British Parliament
having adjourned, and the nobility chief
y gone down to their seats in the coun-
Try, the items under this head are few
md comparatively unmportant 1
One Of the most interesting of these
IS the death Of that excellent and vene-
rablc lady, Miss Hannah More, who
died on the 7th Of September, at her re-
sidence in Windsor Terrace, Clifton, in
the 88th year Of her age, after painful
and protracted illness. Few persons
have enjoyed higher degree of public
esteem and veneration, than this excel
ent and distinguished lady. Early in
fe she attracted general notice by a
brilliant display of literary talent, and
vas honored with the intimate acquaint-
'nce Of Johnson and Burke, of Reynolds
md Garrick, and Of many other highly l.
eminent individuals, who equally appre-
:iated her amiablc qualities and her su-
,erior intellect Miss More's publica-
ions are sufficiently known to the litera-
y world, not to require to be dctaile d
lere; they were principally devoted to
he advancement of morality and virtue
