The latest accounts from Portugal are contained in the Morning Chronicle of the 2d.— This paper says—
" As some contradiction has prevailed in the statements received from Portugal, regarding Count Amarante, we think it proper to state, that a private letter, dated Oporto September 13, mentions that the troops and province he commanded had enthusiastically joined the patriotick cause, but he himself had fled away." On the 6th, seeing it impossible to withstand the force of publick opinion the Count ordered a meeting of the inhabitants for the following day, in order to take the new oaths; but in the night he fled away with one servant, passed through Morin, and, it is added, he had already arrived at Corunna."
