JVE "'5 BY THE JlIflRCII PJ] CK’E T. FALMOUTH, Feb. 16. PORTUGAL—“7e have received advices from Oporto to the 5th instant, per the Rhadamanthus steamer, which arrived yes- terday at Plymouth. The substance of

these is, a full confirmation of all our am.

ticipations, founded upon pretty correct data, :is the result, which is fast approach- ing, will clearly shOW, that the come of the young Queen Donna Maria de Gloria is ina hopeless state. There are now no desertions from Don Miguel’s ranks; on the contrary, the only desertions we now hear of are from the constitutional forces, and these too, in pretty large bodies, of the English especially, the gallant English rascals, that were picked up from the “back slums,” of all the cities in the empire; con- sequently men well calculated to give the Portugese an exalted opinion of the cha- racter of Britons.

We wish they would rc- sign theirEnglish half-pay while engaged in so disgraceful a service—disgraceful, be- cause as far as they are conCerned, they can have no immediate interest in the dispute between the brothers, arid therefore serving as mere brigands in a marauding adven— ture; for as to chivalry, or advancing the cause of liberty, by enlisting under the banners ofPedro, nobody can give them credit for so much purity of motive. “’0 long to see the time when the hich press of London will feel themselves compelled to acknowledge that they have imposed upon their readers statements written pure- ly with a view of supporting and counte- nancing a speculatiOn that must end in’thc ruin of hundreds, and in disgrace to their country.

A kind of armis- tice had, it is true, been concluded, but the term ofit had nearly expired at the departure of the courier from Constanti- nople. The representatives of the Eu- ropean Powers are said to be highly dissa- tisfied with the state of affairs, as they ex- pected a more favourable result fromtheir proposals to Ibrahim Pacba. It was thought at Constantinople that if an arrangement bctwecn Turkey and Egypt should not be effected soon, France Would take an active part in the affairs ofthe East. The above accounts add that the army of Ibrahim Pa- cha is suffering from want of provisions and regular pay. The discontented soldiers receive nothing but promises.
