In the intermediate period from our last ad-
vices we perceive that Gen. de Sa had been des-
patched from Algarves with few thousand
men, and had swept the whole country between
il and ST. Ubes of the guefillas by which it had
been infested. Gen. Torres also had made a
successful excursion, and put to the route all the
Mgueltes that came in his way. Admiral Ma
pier had likewise dotted his naval uniform, and
made successful expedition on land. He had
taken possession of Vienna, with its forts and
castle, and was about to proceed to Ponte de
Lima Valencia had surrendered to him, and
he was marching onward, with full tide OF sue
cess. Without going into further details, suffice
it to say that the present aspect OF portuguese
affairs is highly favorable to the Constitutional
cause.

The decree for that purpose has given great
satisfaction.
+ 1t is ascertained beyond doubt that three
battalions iu the service of Don Carlos and all
commanded by Spanish officers, had been for
some time united with Don Miguels army. They
constituted the right wing of it in time of battle.

Spain have as good right to enter Portugal tor

Fellow-citizens, read over this statement again

sanction of the Secretary of the Treasury that

View this statement in any manner that Is
possible it still remains the most alarming and
sickening exposure of venality and corruption
ever exhibited to the public view. How many
such thirsty lie eches are there gorging them
selves from the public Treasury? How many
such panders fattenng upon "SpOils?" AT how
many other Ports, are the people paying at the
rate Of SIX DOLLARS from the Treasury,
for every ONE DOLLAR collected in Revenue
