g miles from Lisbon, for four hours, coaa- ,oitt;ne great depredations on persons and nronerty: and division of Don MiguePs troans. IF about ,500 iil number, had fosded the Tagus at Valoda Sanianm, and steam CT was sent up to treat with them.

 The contest seems not yet to be over.-
 The priests have no love for Liberalism, and they in such countries are the grand moving power of Revolution.--Nignel too, Usurper though he may be, has the mass of the People on his side, and after ali, the race may not be to the swift.

 1 PARIS, Aug, 2l. The approaching birth day of the Duke of Bordeaux, (the Legiti- mate King of France), on which, according to the ancient usages relative to the King of France, he will attain his majority, is, 1t appears, to be grand day for tie Legitim- atists; all the young heroes of the party ex- leept those who are with Gen. Bourmont,
 are to make pilgrimage to Prague, to pay
 their homage to their soyereien; but as they apprehend that the police may not approve
 of so formidable all army marching through the country they are to go ill separate detach- , ments, of two's and three's, and only show themselves in their might after their arrival at Prague. One little circumstance how eyeris serious annoyance to them. The Marquis de Pasteret, who still considers himself Chancellor of France of right, was to have headed the party at Prague, and
 drawn up an official act of the majority,
 oath of allegiance &c. but 1t appears that
 the noble Marquis has been refused pass
 port and must either go by stealth or not
 at all.
