Phenix Gazette

From Portugal.--Lisbon Gazettes and letters had been received in London to the 20th August. On the 10th the expedition to Madeira had sailed, as we were previously led to understand. Private letters state, that the most serious misunderstanding continued to exist between Don Miguel and the old Queen. It is said Miguel has acted with personal violence towards his mother. The dispute is said to have been materially heightened by the Don's refusal to be immediately crowned. Arrests continued to be persisted in openly and secretly to a very alarming extent, and great enormities were understood to be still perpetrated with impunity. The property of every person convicted of treason is confiscated; one third goes to the Crown, another to the Judge, and the third to the informer. The person is tried and condemned, but not permitted to make the slightest defence.
