We hive rccehed later intcdirrenca from Prtugal. The Barque Pai;i, C-it. R ii jgeard arrived yesterday from St. Ubcs and we are indebted to the Captain for a, Lisbon paper of the 11 of October. It will be recollected that our last advices from Lisbon, were brought direct from thence by a Captain who sailed on the Loth of last month, and who stated that on the day of his departure the troops of Do cia Maria marched out for the purpose of at tacking the be? ieging army of Don Miual. Thc following translated from the paper brought by Captain Kaingeard, gives thc official account of the battle which followed, and the result of which appears to have been highly favorable to Don Pedro. If there is no exajriicrtion in the statement of j the subsequent advance of Don Petlro'd troops, and the flight of thorc of Don Mig uel, the cause ot thc former has now as sumed a character that forebodes its event ual success. LATER FROM MEXICO. The brig Splendid, Capt. Clark, arrircl yesterday from Vera Cruz, bringing pepor to theJlst ultimo, being considerably later than any accounts we had before received from Mexico Thc president Santa Anna attacked on the Dth of October at Mellado, a suburb of Guanaxuato, the main body of insurgents who were iu rrms in opposition to his government. They appear to have been totally defeated, and the greater part of them, including Arista, one of their chief leaders, surrendered, stipulating only that their lives should be spared. Turkey in Europe may now be considered a province of Russia, by the terms of the late treaty between these powers. W cxiKrct to seo France and England show a diplomatic etiervescence on that matter.
