SATURDAY, Two o'CLocit.
Despatches from Terceira, dated March 9th, received this morn- ing by the Marquis of Pahnella, announce that the island is in the best state of defence. A private letter from the same place states that a considerable force is expected there from the Brazils. ' It will be joined by a portion of the garrison, and then proceed against Portugal. The despatches from Lord Strangford to our Government yes- terday were considered to be very important. A Cabinet Council was immediately summoned, to hear their contents. It is now reported that the British and French Governments will assist Don Pedro.
We have received German Papers to the 15th inst. They con- firm the accounts of the extensive preparations of the Russians. Lord Erskine is dangerously ill at Munich. We have accounts from Epsom, dated 11 o'clock. Very few persons had at that hour arrived to attend the County Meeting, and very little interest was excited.
