The French steamer Le Tage, arrived at Havre on
Sunday, brings. intelligence from Lisbon to the 27th
of April, inclusive, being six days later than our ac-
I counts rid Southampton.
It will be recollected that the deliberation of the
council on the subject of the propositions made by
Lord Palmerston, ended in their adoption,- though no
steps had been taken to carry them into execution.
The progress made subsequently by the insurgents
has, however, put an end to the Imitations of the
Queen, and just before the departure of the Tags
from Lisbon, it was given as certain that the Queen
had decided upon making concessions in favour of
the people, and that everything OM settled. These
conditions had been signified to Sit da Bandeira, who
was at Setubal, but he had refused to listen to them,
'stating that he was under the orders of the Junta of
'Oporto, and referring the overtures to his superiors
there. The Queen had changed her ministry. The
new cabinet was to be coinpoeed as follows:—Minister
of Foreign Affairs, M. Bayard ; Minister of Justice,
M. Leitao; Minister of the Interior, M. Proense ;
Minister of Finance and Marine, M. Tojal ; Mi-
nister of War, Baron Ponta da Berea.
With regard te the movement' of forces on both
sides, we glean the following facts :—The English
steamer, Royal Tar, which had been bought by the
Portuguese government front the Peninsular and

insurgent steamer Minden," on the 21st April, as she
was about to enter the Tagus. She had- on board
10,000 muskets and 40,000 cartridges. A sloop,

belonging to the Queen's party, was also taken by
the insurgents, whilst on her way from Gibraltar. St.
Übes was in possession of the insurgent forces of
Sada Bandeira and de Mello, to the number of 45,000
men; and the Queen's troops, ander Vinhses, were
said to be in a well-selected position, commanding the
'town and fort. The king left Lisbon on the 26th, to
join the army. Notwithstanding the overtures made
to Sada Bandeirs, the government were, on the
morning of the 27th, sending heavy artillery across
the Tagus, for the purpose of directing it on St. Übes,
and causninethe steamers of the Junta lying there to
remove te a greater distance, so that the govern-
ment might bombard the town with greater
facility. They had also fitted up the Vasco
de Gams, ship of war, which had Isis unfinished
in the Tagus for more than twenty years, and
supplied her with an ill•assorted crew, hastily
picked up in the streets of Lisbon. This vessel
had sailed for St. Übes, together with the Iris cor•
