Accounts from Santarein make it amount to near ly the whole of 4000 men, as many of the soldiers availed themselves of the darkness to desert to their homes. No foreign soldiers were engaged in Saldanha’s division. Don Pedro has received some reinforcements of men, and 400 horses purchased in England. In the meantime Miguel still holds out, and the country is ravaged by bands of royalists and robbers, who commit the greatest cruelties and depredations up on the poor unoffending inhabitants. The above battle is, perhaps, the in Lisbon. CHEROKEE PIRE.1IX. From the Now York AJverliser. UNITED STATES BANK.

The ship Belvidera, captain Hill, at this port yesterday, left St. Ubes on evening nonenity by the single person of ihe President.— Na'ure a ul ambition could not be satiated at these { s'.rides to unlimited power. The American nation ; Don Miguel still occupies the strong j holds of Santarem, distant 12 leagues] from Lisbon, where, having united his | forces from the provinces, he collected . about 9000 to 12,000 men, mostly Roy-| alist volunteers and militia. On the J J8th he ordered General Lemos to take! 6000 men of his best troops arid direct- j eel an attack upon the whole ol the Constitutionalist lines at Cnrtaxo.— Feigned attacks were made upon most of our positions to prevent assistance being given to one another, while a strong mass ot about 4000 men march ed upon the position occupied by Count Saldanha, the General in Chief. Don Miguel had previously announ ced to his soldiers that a movement in his favor had taken place in Lisbon, &c. Thus misled, the Miguelites, thinking they had a small force to fight against, marched full of confidence and in high spirits against Saldanha, who ordered his troops to retreat three miles until the Miguelites had crooscd a bridge, which lie might have defended with a small force, but his object was to se cure them. He allowed them to form, and then gave the word of attack, which was no sooner given than executed by his bravo and auxious soldiers; though their force was very inferior. The Miguelites stood for some time and made a vigorous resistance, hut ctnild not finalfy stand against the im* a political change. It was this indulgence of their President to oxercis« unbridled power over the Indians, which has contamiua'cd, tho purity of the executive, and an adequate constitution ordained for a salutary government. The signs we confess are ominous to the red man flrst, and to tho great American people; hut we humbly hope, there is sufficient wisdom existing to restore the constitution and laws to thoir manifost intentions.# *Tho Government before the revolut'on of Indian aflairs was like unto tho vision of St. John, “And ho shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as. crystal, proceeding out of tho throne of God,” re joicing in tho felicity, and marching onwarj to por- (ection. THE HUMANE POLICY IN LA BOUR. We have frequently stated that the Cherokees in Tennessee hud made great speculations on the Government, by making large improvements and then emigrating. First, the enrolling agents iuduced these Indians to bring white men into the nation, and make large improvements, preparatory to a valuation by the agents, and second to sell their possessory right to white men before they left the country. The Sec retary of War likewise had engaged with those that enrolled to secure to such, their interest in the soil when should any unlnp,.i!y jb ulleuipted, Ucnoiinceii as a violation ol Lie federal comp ret. 7. It will oppose monopolies, spe cial privileges, and siaecuus ol every tlt-sciij.lion, us iutftiteiing with the equality of rights upon which our insti lulioiiS are l-iunded, and will he em phatically the advocates of a Cheap Government. 8. It will also be opposed to man- worihip, the bane of republics, and it will expose corruption and dereliction of pinuiple in public servants, lo whatever parly they may profess to belong This, however, It will do in a man ner which shall not degrade the press, and upon no occasion will the columns of the Examiner be the vehicle of scurulity or vulgar personal abuse.

A<1 ■ T v roerv’ut pla<* ElRUVliAK To Pa rents, Teachers and School Com mittees, and all who feel an Interest in the Improvement of Youth. I T is not yet quite a year since Par ley’s Magazine was commenced. During that short period the number of subscribers has increased to 20,000, anti the work has received, every where, the most unqualified approba tion. It has found its way .to thousands of families, and while it has entertain ed the social circle, its unobtrusive les sons have, we trust, often had a salu tary influence on the juvenile mind and heart. It has also found its way to the school room; and many classes of young pupils have been cheered twice a month by the welcome voice of the . teacher bidding them to lay aside, for a few days, the class book which they have read over and over, perhaps twen ty times, and read the pages<of Par ley’s Magazine. The demand for the work, to he used in schools, is rapidly increasing Encouraged by such unexampled success, the Publishers have resolved to render it still more worthy of so lib eral a patronage; and not to remit their exertions (ill they see it introduced into families and .schools, throughout the whole length and breadth of the United States. In this view they have secured new aid in the Editorial department. Th® late Editor of the Juvenile Rambler, who, in addition to his qualifications as a writer for the young, has the advan tage of many years experience as a Teacher, will henceforth assist ia con ducting it. Wc propose to present,, in the pro gress of each volume, a great variety of interesting and important topics, a- rnong which are the following 1. Natural History—Of beast9, birds, fishes, reptile.s, insects; plants, Howers, trees; the human frame, See. II. Biography—Especially of the- young. III. Geography—Accounts of ces, manners, customs, &c. lY r . Travels and Voyages, in va rious parts of the w orld. V. Lively Descriptions of the Cu riosities of Nature and Art,—in each of the United States, and in other conn-, tries. < VI. I wessons on Objects that daily surround Children in the I arlor, Nur sery. Garden, Stc. Accounts of Trades, and Employments. VII. Particular Duties of the Young—to Parents, Teachers, Broth ers, Sisters, Stc. VIII. Bible Lessons and Stories. IX. Narratives—Such as are well authenticated—Original Tales. X, Parables, Fables, and Pro verbs, where the moral is obvious and excellent. XL Poetry—Adapted tothe Youth* ful capacity and feelings. XII. 1 ntelligence—Embracing ac counts of Juvenile Books. Societies, and Remarkable Occurrences. Many of these subjects will be illus trated by numerous and beautiful en gravings, prepared by the best artists, and selected not only with a view to a- dorn the work, hut to improve the taste, cultivate the inind, and raise the auc tions of the young to appropriate and worthy objects. Wc would make, them better children, better brothers, better sisters, better pupils, bet.ter associates, and, in the end, better citizens. _ We beg the friends ofeduenfion—» especially parents and teachers, i , iew the matter in this light. Let cii.idrea look upon the pictures, not as j. -turc* merely; but let them be taught to study thorn. What can be more rich in val uable materials for instructive lessons than a good engraving? After this brief explanation of our principles and purposes, wo ask the co operation of all who receive this Circu lar. Will you aid us, by your influ ence in this groat work—the forma*ion of mind and character for the rising generation? Will you assist us all in your power, in our endeavors to intro duce to American schools, and parlors, and firesides, the stories and lessons of Parley’s Magazine? Every single number of the new vol ume will have a strong paper cover, abundantly sufficient to preserve the work in good order for binding, and for use in schools. The yearly subscription being but one dollar, our friends will perceive the impracticability of keeping open so ma ny thousand accounts. It is therefore indispensable that we should require payment always in advance. Two numbers more will close the first year, and we now give this notice that all who desire to continue the Mag azine, may signify their intention by a seasonable advance for the second dress T K.
