An attempt was made by Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN and
Admiral PARKER, on the 31st March, to induce Don MiGuat to leave Portugal, upon the following terms. He was to be allowed a safe conduct out of the country, and a liberal income, gua- ranteed by England (why guaranteed by England, does not ap- pear); an amnesty was to be granted to all his followers ; and his own right of succession to the throne recognized in default of issue of the Queen. These terms MIGUEL rejected. Meanwhile, his enemies are encompassing him on every side; one of his prin- cipal officers has deserted; and, to add to his difficulties, a Spanish force of two thousand men has entered Chaves in pursuit of some of the adherents of Don CARLOS. Don PEDRO, who had been ill, is recovered, and has gone from Lisbon to his army at Santarem.
