     from Oporto to the 5th instant, per the

     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. Old England, indeed, 
     
     is in very bad odour with Don Pedro’s 
     
     advisers, the French managed, by their su- 
     
     periorintrigue, to excite a strong prejudice

     be the’odious wretches that it is the ba- 
     
     bit of some public writers to represent 
     
     them. Discipline among the Constitution- 
     
     alists is out of the question—no money is to 
     
     be had, and consequently the men refuse 
     
     to serve; some of the officers, however, 
     
     making ameritof necessity, have volun- 
     
     teered to continue their services without 
     
     remuneration. 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
