LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.
PORTUGAL.

The Oriental Steam Packet Company's steam ship
Jupiter, Captain F. Weeham, arrived at Southampton
yesterday with mails (under the the charge of Lieu-
tenant J. Kiddie, it.N., the Admiralty agent) the
lancet dates of which were as follows :--Gibraltar,
fft6; Cadiz, 26th; Lisbon, 29th; Oporto, 30th; and
Vigo, 31st of Aug.
Among the list of her passengers is one entry
which, in the present posture of the affairs of Portu-
gal is of great significance : Count Costa Cabral, with
family and mite, sailed in the Jupiter from Cadiz
to Liaben. The importance of the arrival of
Cabral in Lisbon may be estimated from what
we have already said respecting the composition and
character of the Carvalho administration. We annex
the letter of oar Lisbon correspondent:
LISBON, Aro. 20.
In my last' I was enabled to run you off a hasty
sketch, with a list of the new ministry. 1 mast, however,
go back fur a while, and refer to former communications,
wherein you were told of the efforts of M. Rodrigo da
Fonseca de Magalhaes and of the Count of Lavradlo to form a
ministry upon a basis that would promise some permanency,
and offer to the country guarrantees for maintaining peace
and order. Their efforts, however, failed, and the. antici-
pated obstacles were the rocks aeon which all their en-
Cs mars were wracked,—the dogged determination of the
Queen's husband to retain the office and emolu-
ments of the office of commander-In-chief of the
army, in direct violation of the charter, and the
Queen's equally fixed resolve not to break up and
disband the Cabral battalion., now scattered over the country
to terrify and outrage the people, sad to control and carry
the elections, as before, at the point of the bayonet. These
facts, and the announcement of the formation of the new
mieintry_ _ solely creatures of Cabral, and military hangers.=
Ifeelianha, has raised ono univenal shout of execration
TiNout the entire of Portugal; and even that portion of
t
ral Feu who were hers to re desirous of believing
that the allies would insist up.n the fulfi:ment of the protocol
are sow aghast, turn round and exclaim that their party—
that the country—is faithlessly and mercilessly abandoned.
Pram ail parts of the country there are accounts teeming
wiek horrors. Greater atrocities were never perpetrated even
Wks Spanish war of extermination against the French,
liegelferers being a disarmed people, banded over to the
hotelier-leaders by whom Donna Marie's court and dynasty
are solely upheld and supported. The last event of the
kind is from Vidigueirs, and the exact facts of this particular
ease are simply as follows : The parish priest of the place,
=milieu, to the government authorities, from being liberal
la polities, was watched for upon an evening when leaving
NA Mud two ladies, of the name of Carneiro. So soon as
holm la the street, he was attacked by the patrol, cruelly
• and finally shot through the head. The women of
Os haw raised ahrieks for succour, and, after a few more
bayonet thrusts, the monsters quietly took their departure.
In about half an-hour the " admini.trador " of the district
made his appearance before the house, accompanied also by
a detachment of the patrol. On inquiring who had killed
the deceased, the ladies from the balcony said it was the'
patrol. "Oh it was the patrol, was it ?" retorted the
aeministrador ! "Then take that, and that," said one of the
nen with him, at the same time discharging kis double-bar-
relled fusil at the ladies. Roth were shot dead, and a servant
woman grievously wounded. This is a mere sample of every-
slay life, as pawing at this present in every village and town
at all removed from Lied .on. The administrador still holds hie
appointment, and,se far from it affecting either his person or
lai life, the act is only likely to lead to his removal
le a scene wisere lie will have more scope for his
powers, and where he may be recompensed by his
Pinsg"/ . _ _

Admiral Napvt s presence here infuses fresh rigour and
renewed insolence into tha Court faction. The most absurd
ideas are abroad on the subject, they say the Admiral's in-
eruttions are not from Lord Palmerston, but from a much
bightr quarter, and that his orders are coifs qui coke
to ',upon the dynasty of the Prince Ferdinand of Saxe
Cobourg lawha! But the English Parliament will meet
again, and noun canons.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
We have Paris letters and journals of yesterday
(Sunday.)
The gyrations of the journals of the cabinet of the
Tuileries arc explained in the opposition journals of
yesterday, and, indeed, by the facts which have be-
mine generally known. Prince 3fetternich has in
feet become alarmal, not only at the new combina-
tions which his aggressions in the papal territory are
producing in Italy, where something like an alliance,
offensive and defensive, between Sardinia, Tuscany,
Rome, and Naples against Austria seems imminent,
but also at certain energetic intimations which he
has received of the manner in which England
'flews the matter, and of the probable appearance
a! an Engliith squadron in the waters that wash
entre, 'fncite, and Ancona. It is also affirmed that
an indirect assurance has been given to the Pope of
the sympathy of the English government. Under all
%Sae circumstances the old dtplomate of Vienna has
!me, resolved, as it appears to disavow the acts of
sus subaltern General Hadetski, on whom the reopen-
tlktlity of the occupation of Ferrara is now thrown.
1.1.11 pretended that that measure was the result of his
artatrary and altogether personal interpretation of
