The convocation Of the Cortes by the Queen
Regent of Spain, to be held on the gath Of July,
noticed in this paper yesterday is confirmed:
and the election Of Deputies is ordered to take
place on the goth of June. The still more i'm
portant information, however, is contained in
this supplement, that the two Continental Usurp-
ers, MIGUEL AND CARLOS HAVE BEEN COMPELLED TO
cAprruLArE, AND SURRENDER THEIR BRIEF, LL-coT-
TEN AUTHORITY.
Although we perceive no account that Miguel
had actually left Portugal, yet it is evident that
he will avail himself speedily of the stipulated
safe conduct as the whole army had abandon
ed him, and both he and Don Carlos are said to
have fallen into the hands of the Spanish troops,
having been delivered up by their own men,
We avail ourselves of the ample translations

MADRID, May 25.-Agreeably to the plan of
operations agreed on between the Duke of Ter
ceira and d. Jose Ramon Rodil, Castei-o-Bran-
CO was occupied by the Spanish troops on the
18th inst and Thomar by the Portuguese. The
Miguelites, who abandoned the Catter) city at
their approach, retired league and half pur-
sued by the cavalry, to Seiseira, point from
which they could proceed either to Santarem or
Abrantes. This was the reason why the Duke
of Terceira proposed to General Rodil to march
upon AbranteS with the Spanish forces, and &C.
cordingly they left Castel-o-Brancho, and ar
rived at Sarceda on the 20,h.
From this point, and on the same day, this
General communicates the results of an action
which took place at Seiseira on the 18th, and
the news of the retirement of Don Miguel from
the strong position which he held at Santarem,
in the following extract of letter from the
Duke Of Terceira, dated at Golegana, on the
18th:
alt appears that the action at Seriseira was
decisive; for Don Miguel burst not remain in
his weakened position az Sdntarem, but fed to-
wards Yelves."
I'm the letter enclosing this extract, General
Rodil states that in consequence of that en-
gagement he had determined TO turn back from
Sarceda with the divisions of infantry, and
where Col. Tena had been, for two days, get
ting the boats Of that vicinity in readiness; and
"ifn SAYS Gen. Rodil, they are 10 order on
my arrival, the vanguard will be in Spain to-
morrow, and the LIST division on the following
day.
