MADRID, JAN. 27.--(By Express.)—The defeat of the Portuguese insurgents has been simultaneous in the three provinces Minho, Beira, and Tras-os-Montes ; but those who came here from these two latter provinces, have re. turned to Portugal; some at Hinojosu, and others at Freixeneda ; and though it is probable that those from Minho have also returned, their entry is not yet known. Not only have the refugees from Beira and Tras-osMontes re-passed the Douro without the least opposition on the part of the Government, but they have even found the means of providing themselves, in Spain, with arms, which a great many of them had thrown away in their retreat, to lighten themselves. It is, moreover, certain that on the 12th inst., the day on which the retreat of the Portuguese rebels was known here, a sum of money estimated at eight millions of reals, was sent towards the frontiers, where the refugees were passing, for the purpose of enabling the latter to make a second invasion. The dismissal and bringing to trial of Longa, Freyre, and Llorente, is but a concerted expedient, which has imposed neither on Mr. Lamb, nor Mr. Lima, who promptly demanded of M. Salmon, why the Spanish Government, whilst the operations of the refugees left no doubt as to the points by which they would enter into Spain, had left all these points unguarded, and collected troops in other parts, where they were quite useless—at Talavera and its environs, for example. Though M. Salmon has written to  explain this matter, these Ambassadors have respectively informed their Governments of this transaction. Mr.  Lamb's courier set out on the 23d instant.  General Longa, whose command had been given provisionally to General Parthoux-Muxica, is replaced definitely by General Monet, one of the Generals who lately held command under General Laserna. A Spanish Priest has lately formed a band of 160 men, infantry, and 4.0 horse, with which he has passed the Minho by Orensa ; but his expedition was so badly managed, that he had scarcely set his foot on Portuguese ground when his force was beaten and dispersed and himself taken, and, as they say, immediately shot. A despatch from General Aymeric, Governor of Cadiz, says that the regiment of Ceuta, destined for the Canary Isles, manifests a disposition to proclaim the Constitution.
