Advices from Lisbon are to the 25th. and from
Oporto to the Goth of September, inclusive, and
are decidedly favorable to the cause OF the con.
atitutionalists. There was another affair, !"
before Lisbon, on the 14th OF September, as
heretofore exclusively announced IN this paper;
INIT il can hardly be denominated ian attack. !"
The correspondent of the London Courier, writ
ing from the spot. thus describes the occurrence.
-. Since the repulse Of the 5th. nothing partl-
euIar took place till the morning Of the l4th in.
stsnt. when it was perceived that some OF Don
Misuel's troops were lodged in the olive groves
near the fort OF ST. Joan. which is near the river
higher up than the city. The attack was made
in that quarter. Don Pedro was soon on the spot
and ordered the volunteers TO advance against
them; thew charged with the bayonet, and dis
lodged them. They were assisted by frigate
which commanded the place where the Miguel
ties were posted. Since then they have with
drawn from those places which are in range OF
the guns from the river"
The young Queen, Donna Maria, arrived at
Lisbon on the ED of September-it being her
frs, visit to the capital Of the nation over which
she has been the nominal sovereign for seven
years Her reception was most enthusiastic. A
splendid tent was pitched 10 the square, to which
the Young Queen was led by her father, and
there IN the presence OF the city authorities,
the Judges and magIstracy, her Majesty re.

After this ceremony, the procession moved to
the Cathedral, where TIE Deum and High Mass
were sung in thanksgiving for the occasion. But

estimated at from 10000 to $4,000 men. An
expedition under Villa For was projected to
scour the remaining Migueii,es from the North,
and every thing indicated speedy termination
of the civil war.
Lord " lillian Russell. the British Anbassa
dor, was about to quit Lisbon. and be- succeeded
By Lord Howard DE Walden, who was on his
return from Stockholm. From Oporto thew
write that the enemy had not altogether with
drawn from before the city: the garrison had

having been considerably reduced by the rein

hardsnips in providing against the consequences
Of a renewed attack.

The principal squeduct has been stopped by the
enemy; but we have enough from the lesser ones,

both natives and foreigners, are quite confident
that the Constitutional army will be well able to
defend the city; and when the Notifications are
which will be in week or ten days,

to enter"
The same writer speaks in high praise Of the
conduct Of Don Pedro. During the severe as
sault of Sept. 5th:
"Don Pedro was particularly active; he point
ed many guns himself, and remained in the tort,
where the hottest work was, till workman, who
was within few feet Of him, was killed, and
his officers were greatly alarmed for his safety.

him under arrest in the name Of the Queen: he
