AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL.
The intelligence from Portugal is not posi-
tively later than our previous advIces. some
further particulars Of the attack OF the miguel
ties upnn Lisbon. on the 5th Of September, are
given in the Madrid papers OF the 18th, present
inc the facts in light more or less favorable to
the cause Of the usurper, according to the feei-
ines ard wishes Of the writer's. There - no
confirmation Of the second attack OF bourmont
upon the capital, as reported IN the ads'ces re-
ceived Yesterday. tits pretty certain however
that Don Pedro is closely environed IN LISBON.
Accounts via France and Eusand may be re-.
gar,led as unfavorable to the constitutional
cause On the l4th Of September,the Paris Monte.
ur published officially the annexed note, received
from Bayonne, BY express. and said to have
been forwarded BY a courier extraordinary from
Lisbon to NJ. Addington, at Madrld:-
at appears from dispatches transmitted from
Madrid TO divers cOnsuls, that serious engage
uent took place on the 5th September between
the troops Of Don Miguel and those OF Villa
Flor. The advantage remained with the latter.
The constitutional troops re.entereu LISBON
amidst the acclamatons Of the whole population.
The Paris Correspondent Of the London Stand
ard writing on the 18th, thus speaks Of the Ia
comic natice Of the Mon.teur:-
The French liberal papers appear BY no means
SO sansuine Of success as they have been OF late.
In fact, il is known that a ielegraphic despatch
has been received, aud that the intelligence that
government has annuunced is Tar from being Ia
yorsble to Don PEDRO; for even surprising that
Bourmon,'s attack met with but partial success.
The Pre,,roire party had but little 10 boast OF,
since fresh attack was hourly expected on the
-.h. The army Of Don Miguel being still un-
der he walls Of Lisbon, is sure proof that the
P,dro,te forces we're too weak TO drive them
thence; and even should Bourmont have Jailed
in his attack IN the 5th, the situation 0f Don
Pedro is highly critical. The news that 60
vernment has designed TO give TO the French ma
ton Is certainly of u very strange nature III

az # the French AmbassadM had not an equally
nrump, manner Of forwarding intelligence as
the English one, and seems TO think, as all rea
sonable persons do, that the dispatches have
been mutilayed. The Messenger tries TO account
for the absence Of all particulars by the foggy
state of the weather. Fogs are one OF the prin.
cipaI assistants Of the French cabinet: ever and
anon a FOG intervenes and intercepts the COM
munication of evil ,id,ngs for few days, I'LL at
length it disappears IN the morning when let,

probability be dissIpated omorrow, tor letters
from Bavonne will be doubtless received on
Wednesday morning.
Still more uufavorabe to The cause OF Don Pc
drn is the following account, contained IN let.
ter from Lisbon, OF September 8, and published
in the London Standard Of the 18th:
"LIsBoN, Sept. Con the 5th. Marshal
Bourmont, at the head OF corps OF between ,
and 1000 men, attacked the city on the north
side by Arrosos and Val de Pereira. This at.
tack. which was made only to draw the enemy's
force to that point, completely succeeded IN TINS

that opposed. The feisned attack on the north
side was, however, very sanguinary. Marshal
Bourmon,, having been Informed that the part OF

niteiy taken possession Of, Immediately suspend
ed the attack towards the evening, having o.
t,iss,, the result which he aimed at.
"!t is affirmed that Don Pedro was present
in the action, aud that an officer Of engineers
belonging to his staff was killed at his side
Nany officers of distinction Of Don Pejro's ar

10 600 men killed aud wounded. The royal ar
nv has also suffered much from the unyielding
iairepidity Of the soldiers. who rushed with the
utmost fury on the Pedroites.
AT the departure Of the messenger, every
body expected general attack. The part OF
the city occupied by the royal army is that which
defends Lisbon towards the sea, where the forts
u the Tagus. SUCH as st. Julien. Bugio. Belem.
&C., are situated, and which are doubtless IN
the possession Of the royal army.
