FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
New York, September 3.


from Liverpool, whence she sailed OH the
9Th ultimo. We have received by this
conveyance Liverpool papers of that
date, and London the day preceding.
The war in Portugal may be consid-
cred at an end. The capitol, the prov
ince of Alemtego, and Algarves, are in
possession of the Queens forces, and
the cities are every where opening their
gates to receive the conquering army. Al
Oporto, the troops of Don Miguel have
met with serious repulse. Some suspi-
cions are felt as to the course which Spain
will pursue, but it is hardly likely she
will, in her present situation, involve her
self in a war with France, which would
assuredly follow on her int rference. 1t
lis also believed 10 London, that indica-
tions of an intention on the part of the
British Government to send troops in aid
OF the Queens cause were perceptible.
From France, Holland, or Belgium,
there is nothing new. The withdrawal
of the Russian forces from Constantine
pie is fully confirmed.
In the House of Commons, the Minis
tiers have declined giving any information
on the course they intend to pursue to-
wards Portugal, and on the same night
Sir r. Peel said that he also had an inquiry
to make as to another branch Of the for.
eign policy Of the country. He wished
to be informed as to the present state Of
the discussion of the boundary question
between the United States and the North
American colonies. which had been refer
red to the King of the Netherlands.
Lord Althorp said that it was matter
not yet decided, and the inquiry of the
Right Honorable Baronet had been so
Unexpected that he was unprepared to
give specific answer.
The bill which had passed the lower
house for the removal of the civil disahil-
tiles under which the Jews labor through
out the British dominions, had been re
jected by the House of Lords, ayes so,
noes lo4. The amendment made to the
Irish Irish Church Temperatures Bill in
the Lords, had been agreed 10 by the
Commons.
The Slave Emancipation Bill is still
before the Commons. The clause grant
ing twenty millions as an indemnity, had
been agreed to. The Bank Charter,
and East India Company's Charter, were
still before the legislature
Alderman Key, one Of the Reform
Members of Parliament, for the city Of
London, had been compelled to resign his
seat, in consequence of mal-practices.-

The following are extracts from private
letters received by the Lisbon mail of Satur-
day:
'LIsBoN, July 25---I just learn that the
Confidence steamer is ordered to England
tomorrow, at day break, and hope to send
you this by her.
'We are at last happily delivered from the
oppressive tyrannical yoke of Don Miguel I;
and the Duke of Tercera, with his brave
band, is now in possession of the ca )ital of
Portugal, for which Heaven be praised. The
The whole affair appears like dream, and
were 1t not for the Examinations, the ringing
of bells, the singing of the Constitutional
Hymn, the bands of music parading the
prisoners, the firing of cannon, the discharge
of. rockets, and the deafening shouts of the
people in every quarter of the town, | could

that we were every moment in expectation
OF seeing the constitutional troops on the
other side of the Tagus. We were not kept
long in suspense; the Duke of Terceira soon
arrived in sight of his opponents, command
ed by Telas Jordao, and posted near the
valley of Predade AT six o'clock yester

number of nearly 1000 were killed, wound

and the rebels were pursued to Caclhas,
and brought down even in the water, when

Telles Jordao was killed on the bank of
the river by one of the Dake of Terceira's
officers, and his body, with the exception OF
his head and right hand, was stuck into the
sand on the spot. However, believe the
whole carcass is to be brought to Lisbon, to
convince the people that this man, who has
been so dreadful scourge to many families,
is now no more. The Miguelite govern
ment and all the authorities retired, with the
police and Royalist volunteers, to Campo
Pequeno, where they halted short time,
and then proceeded to Louvos. | presume
that their design is to join the main body of
Miguel's army, or on receiving reinforce
ments from it, to retrace their steps, and en-

habitan's are again forming for its defence,
and they, with the regular troops, will very
soon be in position to withstand the worst
that can be done. | have no fear for the
