The Pedroites have at length mustered men, monet,:ard courage enough,
to attempt a descent upon Lisbon. On thm2Oth instant, between three and four thousand men, command:ed. by Count Vua.4 FLOE, were embarked at Oporto on board the.zsqua- dron, consisting of one ship a the line, two frigates, two corvettes, one armed brig, and five steam-boats. Captain NAPIER is made Admiral, in the room of SAR,TORILIS, who has resigned; and the Count DE SALOANHA:1111S sueceeded to the command of the army, instead of SOLIGNAC, who has also, under the pretence of urgent business in France, retired from his post. The latter made an at- tempt to cross the bar and reach a vessel for England ; but his boat was driven ashore by the heavy surf, and he received a con- tusion from the Miguelites, who fired upon his party, and he was forced to return to Oporto.
