The other action took place at Vareal, in the province
Of Trassos Monies, where Don Cazal completely de-
eaed the insurgents, who sustained loss including
two of their leaders, Vega and Rebeo, and this dis
aster said 10 have struck terror into the surrounding
country. Baron Cazal subsequently advanced. Every
effort is made at Lisbon TO collect and equip those IN
tended 10 be employed in quelling the revolt BY
decree issued the 3Oth the queen has temporarily as
sumed the dictatorship, absolute authority, and has

tached by Sadana had routed the Cna guerllas with
the loss OF eighteen killed The marshal himself was

ton OF the Duke OF Wellington, where he awaited quiet
" the attack of Das Antas Should the nsugent leader
be so mprudent as TO assume the offensive and attack
Marshal Sadanha in his entrenched camp, his defeat
must be inevitable, provided only that the queens troops
sustain their fidelity. The result, however, might be
very different if he postponed attack, and adopted the
proper OF retiring upon Comba, for IN that case
Ssldanha must either remain inactive, or, to strike
blow, must follow the rebels INTO hostile country, from
whence he might find il impossible TO keep his commun
cation with Lisbon Open and in that event he would be
completely cut off from his supplies.

against such fearful odds He would, doubtless hesitate
TO attack wel-equPPed army in formidable position,
and having the advantage, too, of fine artillery brigade
His course would be to retire rather than risk conflict
and then he would be enabled to watch his opportunity
