Latest from Madeira. By the arrival of the General Warren, from Smyrna, we gather some intelligence of a late date from the Island of Madeira. On the 29th of April, Gen. Warren was boarded by a vessel of war, under English colors. It was the Donna Maria, formerly the Asia, stationed before the port of Madeira, with several smaller vessels, to enforce the blockade of that port. The captain of the Gen. Warren went on board, and saw, from the condition of the crew, that a sharp time previously, there had been an engagement between the Dom Miguelites and the adherents of Don Pedro.

It was further learned that Don Pedro had taken the Governor of the island, together with the officers, and had nominally appointed others in their places. On the day previous to the 29th Don Pedro had sailed on another vessel for Terceira, to collect an army of 8 or 9000 men, and to take the islands still holding out.

The blockade was rigidly enforced, several prizes had been taken, and further five American vessels ordered off. The commander of the Donna Maria wished the captain of the General Warren to report that they had been well treated.

The Portuguese vessels appeared to be manned entirely with English officers and men.
