I,ATE FROM PORTUGAL.
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.

The Complete Periodical
Mjibrary.
ORTY-EIGHT page3 weekly—
nearly 2,500 octavo pages in a
year for five d liars, furnishing annu
ally select reading equal to fifty vol
umes of common size.
The Library will contain nearly all
the new works of merits as they ap
pear, viz: Y’oyages and Travels; His
tory; Biography; Select Memoirs; the
approved European Annuals; Adven
tures; Tales of unexceptionable char
acter, £tc. &c.
The “Complete Periodical Library,”
will Ire found indispcnsible to all lov
ers of go >d reading in town or country.
Every number will contain forty-eight
pages, in a size expressly adapted for
binding when tho book is completed
printed with typo so largo as not to fa
tigue the weakest eye. Its immense
size will enable the Editor to crowd
any common sized book in two nuru
lers, frequently into one. New works
will thus bo despatched as they arrive
from Europe, and &ent olf to its pat
rons. The subscriber in Missouri will
he brought as it were tothe very foun
tain «f literature. Works printed in
this Library will bo furnished to him,
when without it, he tvould be wholly
unable to procure them. A book that
will cost us six dollars to import, can
be re-prmted and distributed to subscri
bers, owing to ou>- peculiar facilities,
for about 20 or 30 cents, with the im
portant addition of its being fresh and
ndw.
We will give nearly 2500-pages an
nually, equal to 50 common sized
books! Every work published in the
Library will be complete in itsef. A
Title Page will he given in each vol
ume, so that the subscriber, if he | lea
ses, may sell or give it away, without
injury to any of the others; or it may
lie hound up at tho pleasure of the sub
scribers.
This work presents an extraordina
ry feature, unknown to any other peri
odica 1 . in the country. The subscrip
tion price may be considered a mere
loan for the yeor, as the work at the
year’s end, will Bell for cost, and in
many parts of the United States it will
bring double its original cost to tho
subscriber.
The works published in the “Com
plete Periodical Library,” will be ol
the highest character, both as regards
the author and his subject. New
works of approved merit, will be sent
out to the Editor by every arrival from
Europe, giving him an unlimited field
to select from, while care will be taken
to make his publication equal to any
thing of the kind published in America.
The first nilmber will be issued on
the 8th of May next, and regularly ev
ery Wednesday thereafter, secured in
handsome pri tied covers, and on fine
white paper, ut $5 per annum, payable
in advance. Clubs remitting $20, will

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
