BELIS^RIUS.
A ringing sound of war,
A breath of woe and fear;
The steady march of mailed hosts
Swell tide like on ihe ear.
The distant banners float
In manv a gorgeous line;
The dazzling glram of warlike spears
Send# back the clear sunshine.
The lovely morning hour—
The blue, majestic day—
The star illuminated night—
Have hailed them on their way!
Colossal trees are rent
es by a tempest’s wrath;
The noblest things are mark’d for death.
That bar their onward path!
Hark to the burst of war!—
The rival armies meet;—
Bright swords are flashing far—
Sharp arrows hissing meet!—
Hark to the burst of war! —
To the wild unearthly cheers;
To the rush of hostile feet
To the iron clang of spears!
On flash the Vandal swords,
Against the Roman targe:
The Massagets bound
Like leopards to the charge!—
They faiot—they yield—they flee!—
The Vandal reign is o’er!—
Jtratar of fame has set
to a midnight sea of gore!—
Open thine ancient gates—
Proud Carthage, open free!—
Sing ye for freedom won!—
Shout!—shout for victory!
The soldiers seize the spoil—
The women fearful shriek!
Tis past—the bloody broil—
And thousands cease to speak.

Portugal —The Lord Nelson, a merchant ves
sel, which left Lisbon the 18th instant, brings an
account of the capture of the Lord of the Isles,
steam-vessel, on the night of the 1 Ith. by a gun
brig, with 40 men on board, belonging to the
Queen. The steam-vessel was chartered from
this country, for the service of Miguel, and car
ried out-from 25 to 30 French officers, who are
presumed, for the account is silent respecting
them, to have been landed at St. Martinipo, in
which harbor the capture was effected, the vessel
having subsequently been carried into the Tagus
as a lawful prize. The captain of the Lord of
the Isles, is said to have memorialized Lord Wil
liam Russell on the subject of the capture, claim
ing the vessel as of English ownership; but he
had not received any attention. The vessel will
be an acquisition of some value for the service of
the Queen; but seems to have had no warlike
stores or any articles of value on board. In the
same letter which furnishes this intelligence, it is
stated that another attack was made on Lisbon
on the 14th, in which the Miguelites were repul
sed with a loss of 2.000 men; but it has not ob
tained much credit; and, at all events, requires
con fir matioo. No other letters have been re
ceived by the Lord Nelson; but there is nothing
remarkable in this, as few persons write by the
merchantmen, since the employment of steam
packets on the Lisbon station.
The news from the continent is no later, of
course, than our previous advices; but the late
hour at which we received our French papers
•yesterdadJHtfr us little time, and less'space, to
* use them. We shill now attempt to supply de
ficiencM. And first, of
PORTUGAL—
respecting which we have hardly done justice for
a day or two past. We insert above a letter from
our London Correspondent, in which a second
attack upon Lisbon in spoken of as having been
made by the- Miguelites, on the 14th of Septem
ber. Little confidence, however, was placed in
the report by our correspondent himself; nor was
his incredulity amiss, since we find by a post
script of the Courier of the same evening the an
nouncement of Lisbon letters to the 18th of Sep
tember inclusive. Up to that date affairs re
liumud tranquil, no further attack or demonstra
tion having been made by Gen. Bourmont.—
The reported capture of the steamboat Lord of
the Isles, by two of the Queen’s ships, spoken of
by our correspondent, ia confirmed. This ves
sel had on board twenty seven French Officers
who were going oot to join Marshal Bourmont,
* and was also heavily laden with ammunition and
warlike stores. It is likewise stated that a
small schooner laden with shot had shared a si
- miitr fate.
w m
I Several of the London Journals question, and
! others contradict, the recent statements, that
Vtar,i)il Bourmont had proposed terms of accom
modation with Duo Pedro. The Sun says:—
*» Two reports of a very opposite nature have
been current. One is that Don Pedro has ap
plied for assistance from the English Government
in order to enable him to subdue the forces of his
brother; the other is, that Don Miguel has made
proposals of arangement to the Constitutionalists,
which have been indignantly rejected. VVeare
able, from authority, to contradict both of those
statements, although »e are not permitted, at
present, to state the precise nature of the des
patches which Lord Palmerston has received
from Lord W. Russell. Don Pedro feels him
self sufficiently strong to dispense with the aid
of our Government coupled with the condition
attached to it; and on the other hand, Don Mi
guel has declared that he will uever make propo
sals to Don Pedro. The arrangements which ap
pear to be at hand, will be the result of a differ
ent mode of proceeding.
The following version is from the Globe:— -
*» We have reason to believe, from sources on
which we place great reliance, that as we were
in the first instance led to anticipate, none of the
reports of former propositions having been sub
mitted either.to or by Marshal Bourmont rest
upon any foundation. All that took place be
tween Col. Hare and him arose out of the lat
ter officer, v^io was the bearer of some necessa
ry formal communication for Lord W. Russel,
incidentally availing himself of the opportunity
to lament the duration of such a contest, and to
let drop his opiuion of the principle, of course
including the resignation of Don Miguel, upon
which a compromise might be effected without
further hostilities. To these observations the
Marshal we believe to have cursorily replied
that he was then in full delegated command,
and did not feel himself in such cipcumstances
as to render it expedient for him to decline or
command a further prosecution of the contest.—
Unon this slight conversation, which on neither
side ever assumed any-thing like the form of
proposition, all the ingenious statements have
been constructed which not only asserted
that formal proposals had been submitted, but
nearly divided them into specified articles, to
the amount, we believe, of six—so ingenious
are the passengers of steamers in the way of
direct invention. We believe Marshal Bour
mont has not only the command of Miguel’s ar
my, but may now be deemed also the head of his
administration.”
The Times also doubts the accounts received
at Plymouth, and published in the papers of the
west of England, but admits the probability that
some arrangement between the contending bro
ther will soon be made. A letter from Lisbon
of Sept. 12th, the day after the overtures were
supposed to have been made, says— ~ -
“The line of fortification is increasing in
strength every day,and may be already considered
I as impregnable, so that the worst that can hap
pen is a protraction of this unfortunate strug
gle, in which Don Miguel must eventually suc
cumb. The opinion is, therefore, very general,
that if favorable ter ns were granted to him, he
would retire from the contest. Dun Pedro is.
how ever, known to be averse to any other terms
with his brother than the fate of war, so that ve
ry likely nothing will be done towards this ne
gotiation for the present. There is verv little
doubt that Dun Miguel may be able to keep his
army together for a considerable time yet, hav
ing all the province in his rear at his command,
and the abundance of the harvests of corn and
fruit materially assisting him; he has besides, re
ceived a reinforcement of French officers bv a
steam-boat, which has contrived to elude the vi
gilcnce of the blockade, and enter the little port
of San Martinho.”

zette de France, of October 1, has hoaxed its
readers hv reversing the whole story of the re
nnrfprl ofiiprc nt' mnifulntinn. hv mule.
ing the otli-r to have proceeded from Don Pedro!
Inpudenta* the fabrication i* and wholly unsup
ported by fact, rumor, or Circumstance, the Car
list tale appears in one of our morning cotempo
i raries, without note or explanation! The Ga
| zette de France is the organ of the legitimates,
and the report that Don Pedro, in the midst of a
career of victory, flushed whith recent success,
and with the hope of speedy conquest before him,
\ should have suddenly made overtures of base
j surrender to the usurper, could have been fram
ed fur no other readers than them.j
From,Oporto — Letters from Oporto are to
the 18th of September. The forces remaining
there, were two thousand Portuguese of three
different regiments, with four hundred of the
| Scotch, and three hundred of the English bn
grades. Entrenchments were forming round
Villa Nova by the Pedroite forces, to prevent any
surprise on Ihe place. Gloomy account* for the
constitutionalists, however, had been circulated
in London by the Miguelites. According to
them Gen. Stubbs was in hourly danger of an
attack, and Oporto and Lisbon were to fall at
the same time. The advices of the Sun, how
ever were of a different character. These ad
vices were to the 18th of September, at which
time.—
“ Nothing had been heard of the troops of
Miguel, which were said to have reached Santo
Frvso, Valongo, etc., with the intention of attack
ing Oporto, and not less that S000 volunteers
had entered the city, and offered their service* to
General Stubbs, its brave and able Governor.—
The garrison were in the highest spirits, and Sir
Thomas Stubbs had well provided against attack,
being well seconded by Colonel Pauletti, who
hat the command of the engineering department.
It has been determined to make use of the Mi*
guelite lines al Villa Nova, turning the guns from
the city, and to take the whole of the suburb
within them, continuing the lines from the east
of the S«*rra round the hills to the sea. Many
stands of arms had been found, and upwards of
one thousand had been forwarded to Lisbon, to
gether with much ammunition of all kinds, of
which large quantities were daily found on both
sides of the river. The letters hold out no idea
of an attack, still leas any fears for the result,
should the rebel troops dare to advance. It was
understood that some two thousand troops of the
line, including cavalry, had been marched across
the Douro, on their way to join the army under
Bourmont, in front of Lisbon.
In summing up the intelligence, the Courier
remarks:
So far as Lisbon is concerned, much seems
to depend on the force which La Rochejaquelin
may have been able to collect for the purpose of
aiding, on the south bank of the Tagus, the ope
rations of the French Marshal on the north. I he
next accounts are looked for with the roost intense
anxiety. For our own parts, whaiever anxiety
we may have as to the intermediate events, we
have none as to the final result. The Queen may
have to win her crown hardly, but her crown is
secure.”
IRELAND.
The Vice Royalty of Ireland was assumed on
the 25th of Sept., by the Marquis of Wellesley,
and the oath of office administered to him by the
Archbishop Armagh.
From the following account of his reception,
as contained in the Dublin Times, it would ap
pear that hit entry was marked by a tranquility
and decorum not usual on such occasions, and
that there was no manifestation of that party vir
ulence which ordinarily breaks forth on the arri
val of a new Vice Roy.
Entry of the Marquis If'clles ley.—-The High
Sheriff's of Dublin proceeded yesterday to Kings
town in their robes of office and their carriages to
congratulate the Marquis Wellesley on his arri
val in this country.
His Excellency left Kingstown atone o’clock,
with a cavalry guard of honor, and aboot two
reached the boundaries of the city, where the lord
mavor, aldermen, sheriffs, and civic officers were
in attendance. The commander of the forces and
his staff'having hare joined the procession, hia
Excellency passed slowly through a double line
of troops from Fitrwill sireet to the Castle, where
he alighted, receiving the usual military honors.
The necessary arrangements being completed,
the nobility and members of the Privy Council
and of the household moved into the council and
of the household moved into the council and pre
sence chambers, the Duke of Leinster carrying
thp sword of state. Having taken their respect
ive places, the patent of commission was read by
the clerk of the hanaper office, the oaths by
the Primate, and the King’s letter by the
Chief Secretary. His Excellency then knell
down, and was invested by the Marquis of An
glesey w ith the insignia of grand master of the
His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, before
the Council aasmbled, conferred the honor ol
Knighthood^ upon William Walnright Lynar,
E*q , one of the High Sheriffs, of the city of Dub
lin. Dr. James Murray, Physician to the Mar
quis of Angtesea, also received yesterday the
honor of Kighthood.
MEETING OF SOVEREIGNS.
The visit of the Emperor Nicholas to Mun
chen Gratz, lasted seven days. All accounts
concur in staling that the two Monarchs, notwith
standing the difference in their ages, soon became
attached to each other, and gave proofs of the
most unequivocal mutual confidence. On the
nature and consequences of the resolutions adop
ted at Munchen Gratz, so many contradictory
and absurb reports are current, that it appears
evident that nothing has as yet been communica
ted to the public on the subject
Frok Smyrna —The fair of Barykeber had
caused some activity there, and manufactures
had gone off at rather higher price*. Colonial
articles, in consequence ot the recent information
from Europe and the U. States, had risen con
siderably; coffee having been iold at 710 pias
tres, and had subsequenly been 72J^to 750.—
when the advices left the holders refused this
tatter sum for Bran coffee, the largest dealers
demanding 800 piastres. Rum was 7 to 7j, with
limited sale.
From Madeira.—Intelligence has been re
ceived from Madeira to the 20th of August. The
j inhabitants were expecting a visit from Admiral
j Napier, who was about to attempt the conquest
jot the Island; but the Governor was determined
j to resist tothe last. A vessel with despatches from

We had yesterday the pleasure of’ conversing
with a gentleman who came down the Chesapeake
and Otiio Canal from Harper's Ferrv to George
i town on the pieceeding day, in a boat, with seve
j ral other gentlemen The boat drawn by a sir.*
i gle horse, and the distance from Harper’s Fer
ry to Seneca, (lurtj miles) was traversed in four
hours and a half, that is, at about the speed of
nine miles an hour. He is satisfied, that, when
proper arrangements shall be made with packet
boats, the distance from Harper’s Ferry to
, Georgetown may be regularly travelled in seven
: ami a half, or eight hours.
The important portion of the Canal, which is
I thus .brought into use, we are glad to learn, holds
i water remarkably well, and not a breach has oc
curred in it; even the few leaks which have been
1 perceived and cured having been of very inconsi
derable consequence. The portion of the Canal
from the Point of Rocks1o the Falls above Har
per’s Ferrv is said to be a work that may chal
lenge a comparison with any similar structure in
the world.
Our informant passed, in the canal, on the
way down, boats containing, as he supposes, two
' thousand barrels of flour. Some of the boats,
towed by a single horse, carried three hundred
barrels each.—Nat Int.
Fire in Portsmouth —We had not got quite
cool from the severe scorching we had on Satur
day morning, when we were again alarmed by
; the cry of tire and a glare of light illuminating
< the Southern horizon, which proved to be a house
! on fire in Portsmouth. This was between nine
and ten o’clock last night. The Phoenix Fire
Company, with their engine and hose, hurried
down to the wharf, where the steam ferry boat
was in readiness to receive them, and wereexpe
diied in a trice to the scene of conflagration.—
The fire broke out in the workshop of Mr. John
Collins, cabinet maker, in the rear of the large
two story frame house belonging to him, and oc
cupied by Messrs. Jenkins & Cox as a dry goods
•tore, and by Mr. Jenkins as a family residence,
on Crawford street. In a little time the flames
communicated from that to the front building,
and though ably combatted by the Portsmouth
Resolution Fire Company, communicated to the
adjoining building, occupied by Tapley Webb,
Esq. as a grocery store, and thence to hit hand
some new dwelling adjoining it, in which last the
fire was subdued by great exertion, after it had
destroyed that and three other valuable buildings,
all of wood. Mr. Collins saved very little from
his shop. Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Webb saved all
their goods and furniture. A low pitched, fire
proof warehouse aided the exertions of the fire
man in stopping the progress of the fire by form
ing a barrier between it and a long wooden build
ing, which, if it had caught, would, with the
strong easterly wind then blowing, have made
sad havoc. As it was, however, the wooden
structure was in no danger; nevertheless, a gang
of volunteers, who, if they had been examined
by a phrenologist, would have been found to have
had the organ of destructiveness strongly deve
loped, went deliberately to work to tear it to
pieces, and so far succeeded as to render it en
tirely useless to the three families who occupied
it, without1 a course ot repair almost equivalent to
rebuilding.—Norfolk Herald.
Emigrants to the Colony at Liberia.—The
Ship Jupiter, Capt. Knapp, which has been char
tered by the U. S. Colonization Society, to carry
out Emigrants to Liberia, will sail this day from
Hampton Roads. She has on board fifty colored
emigrants, who have wisely chosen the only
course by which they can enjoy rational-freedom,
and be instrumental in cheri»hing an establish
ment,the best device of philanthropy and benevo
lence, and whose benefits are every day becom
ing more and more manifest.

States. —Norfolk Beacon.
The Alabama Difficulty—The great inter
est felt on this subject will no doubt excuse us
in again adverting to it. We regard it not as
a question between Alabama and the general go
vernment, although the Governor of that State
has thought proper to put it on that footing, but
as one between the general government and
citizens of the United States’ Territory. The
hottest nullifies in Alabama cannot but admit
that the title to the Indian land, and right to
make rules and regulations for its .government,
are exclusively in the United States—that the
settlers upon it have not, and do not pretend to
have even a color of title and are there only by the
permission and sufferance of the general govern
I menf. and (hat the government has the undoubt
j ed legal right to remove them at will. It is only
! as to the mode of removal that they raise a difficul
! tv, insisting that the government may do it by
| civil process, but not with military force. We
! take it for granted that the United States are
: sovereign in respect of the Indian Territory red
ed to them by the State of Georgia, and forever
disclaimed in their favor by Alabama herself,
on becoming a State, and we therefore, cannot
! perceive what concern the sovereignty of Ala
bama can have, in the mode, be it civil or milita
ry, that the United States may adopt for en
forcing their sovereign right. The white resi
dents on the Indian Territory, are in the res
pect of such residence, citizens of the United
States, and not citizens of Alabama, and it is
in their character as citizens of the U. States
that we propose to consider the question. Set
I ting all consideration then about Stale Sover
eignty wholly aside, «e contend that the ex
ecution-of the contemplated removal of the
whnle'body of white settlers from the Indian
i lands would be an impolitic and harsh step on
the part of the general government towards its
own citizens. First as to the policy of the
measure. The number of the white settlers
is estimated at 30,000, an'd some statements
swell it to 40.000. On what principle of expe
dience can the forcible ejection of such a mass
of people, from a large portion of which armed
i and insurrectionary resistance must be expect
led, he justified? We know of no advantage
iu accrue 10 me coumry—we recognize no
obligation to the remnant of Indians remaining
in Alabama—that can warrant the incurring of
such a hazzard. Our objections are directed
wholly to the forcible removal en masse of such
ao immense population, not to the ejection, by
any and every effectual means, of individual in
truders, who oppress or defraud the Indians, or
otherwise abuse the favor of the government.
On the score of humanity, too, we object to
. this measure of indiscriminate removal—direct
ed as well against the peaceable settler, as the
miscreant intruder, flow comes it that such a
vast population has settled upon this public do
main? Must it not have been done with the ac
quiescence, and therefore we may say with the
permission and even encouragement, of the Ge
neral Government? It is too late now for the
government to say, to the peaceable settlers, you
; are intruders on the public domain, and you must
forthwith abandon your homes and improvements
—you must again go forth to the world as house
less wanderers—especially as the practice of the
government in giving the right of pre-emption to
settles, has given a sanction to this mode of oc
cupancy. The government not having opposed
it at the threshhold, but having stood by until a
Igrge population has erected its domestic altars
on the public lands, every principle of humanity
forbids its expulsion, especially when it could not
fail to be attended with a vast expense of human
suffering, with broken fortunes, and desolation
and distress to helpless women and children —
Let the guilty suffer—let those who oppress or
rob the Indians be driven with ignominy from
the land—but let not innocence meet the award
due to crime alone—let not a peaceable and use
ful population be expelled in common with fe
lons and desperados. We trust that the repre
sentations already made and to be made* to the
government will show conclusively the impolitic
snd harsh character of this measure, and lead to
such a modification of the instructions, given to
its officers, as will at once protect the Indians
from outrage, do justice to the orderly settler,
and preserve unbroken the harmony of the coun
try.
Since writing the above, wa have read the fi
nal answer of the Secretary of War, to Gov.
Gayle, announcing the determination of the go
vernment to persevere in the removal of the
whole body of whi»e settlers, principally on the
ground that it is impracticable to discriminate
between the orderly and disorderly settlers. The
period fixed for the removal of the peaceable set
tlers is the 15th Jaouary next. We cannot but
repeat our regret at the measure, and we do oot
I
I yet abandon the hope that it may be averted i
' further representations to the government • *
| clally as it is said, that a deou'ation of ini**’
Chiefs is about to be seat to Washington, t0 o'"*
a discrireioation in favor of the p*ace*ablc *
tiers—a measure which, so far from bfiD*!!!'
practicable, hat already been carried into ejL,
in the expulsion of the disorderly by the F H ;
Marshal. The right of the Government to'!!*
move those who occupy its territory, «itk0 .
evfcn the pretence of a right to be there* Cln U,
be questioned—but we think the orderly lettl" '
ought to be permitted to remain, as a matter I!
I reasonable indulgence.— Charleston Chut *
