The only item of intelligence from Portugal, worth recording, is
the stoppage of Lord BERESFORDS pay of 2201. per month as a Portuguese Field-Marshal. The Royal decree states as a reason for this proceeding, that Lord BERESFORD enjoys a pension of 40001. a year besides his pay ; that he has not been in actual ser- vice for fifteen years, and can never serve again; and that the present pay of Portuguese Field-Marshals on service is only 481. per month. These reasons will appear sufficient to all but Lord BERESFORD himself: we only wonder that the pay of this noted Miguelite was not cut off long ago.
