when they had ascertained that the torrid zone is habitable even under the equator, the discovery of the islands of Madeira and the Azores could not divert them from the purpose of turning the southern capes of that continent, and steering past them to the land of spices, which promised untold wealth to the merchants of Europe, new dominions to its princes, and heathen nations to the religion of the cross. As early perhaps as the year 1470, or probably before 1474, Columbus was attracted to Lisbon, as the great centre of maritime adventure. He came to insist with immovable resoluteness that the shortest route to the Indies lay across the Atlantic. By letters from the venerable Toscanelli, the illustrious astronomer of Florence, who had drawn a map of the world with eastern Asia rising over against Europe, he was riveted in his faith, and longed for the opportunity of proving its reality. After more than ten years of vain solicitations in Portugal, he left the banks of the Tagus,

of the independence of the Netherlands, Thomas Buts, an Englishman who had five times crossed the Atlantic, offered to the States to conduct four ships of war to America. The adventure was declined by the government; but no obstacles were offered to private enterprise. Ten years afterwards, William Wsselinx, 1591. who had lived some years in Castile, Portugal, and the Azores, proposed a West India Company; but the dangers of the undertaking were still too appalling. In 1594 the port of Lisbon was closed by the 1594. King of Spain against the Low Countries. Their carrying trade in Indian goods was lost, unless their ships could penetrate to the seas of Asia. A company of merchants, believing that the coast of Siberia fell away to the south-east, hoped to shorten the voyage at least eight thousand miles by using a north-eastern route. A double expedition was therefore sent forth on discovery; two flyboats vainly tried to pass through the straits of Veigatz, while, in a large sh

rulers; the sentiment of patriotism was merged in the obedience of the soldier, who learned that he had a master, but not that he had a country; and electors and landgraves and reigning dukes assumed the right of engaging in wars for their personal profit, and hiring out their troops according to their own pleasure. The custom became so general that, for the gain of their princes, and pay and plunder for themselves, German troops were engaged in every great contest that raged from Poland to Lisbon, from the North Sea to Naples; and were sometimes arrayed in the same battle on opposite sides. At peace the disbanded supernumeraries lounged about the land, forming an unemployed body, from which the hope of high wages and booty could at any time raise up armed bands. So soon as it became known that the king of England, unable to supply the losses in his regiments by enlistments within his own realm, desired to draw recruits from Germany, crowds of adventurers, eager to profit by his

of 70,000 men under Massena. Wellington met him on the frontier, and repulsed him in the battle of Basaco. After that he fell back, covered his retreat by the Cos, and leisurely entered the lines which he had been fortifying for a year to cover Lisbon, and which have become famous over the whole civilized world as the lines of Torres Vedras.--His force behind these lines amounted to 55,000 splendid troops, English and Portuguese, assisted by 40,000 militia. The lines themselves, three in number, presented the most tremendous system of fortifications of which there is any account. They extended from the Tagus on one side, to the ocean on the other, Lisbon, which is on the river near its month, being in their rear and entirely surrounded by them, and itself strongly fortified, while an enormous fleet of transports, men of war, and merchant vessels, all English, lay in the harbor and kept the Anglo-Portuguese army constantly supplied with provisions, recruits, and all the munitions an

try in the spring, and preparations are being made to meet it. Our Consul at Liverpool also writes under the same date that the cattle plague is making sad havoc in that district, and is on the increase. From seven hundred per week the deaths in England and Scotland have gone up to twenty-five hundred. Our Consul at Oporto writes, under date of November 18, 1865, that the cholera had entirely disappeared from the city of Elvas, and the bulletins of the General Council of Health in Lisbon announce the country as free from the epidemic. It is untrue that the "Rinderpest" or cattle plague had broken out in that country. A disease, called the "hoof and tongue" disease, has prevailed to some extent, but few cases have proved fatal. It is an infections disease, and easily communicated; but as there have been several shipments lately made of hides and horns to America, the Consul states that the disease now prevailing in Portugal is not the destructive pest now committing such h
