The Express.
London, England, 1847-12-15 00:00:00

therefore two hundred and sixteen of the potty officers
of the municipal guard and of the 2nd battalion of
volunteers were marched in squads to the poll. Mends,
therefore, returned Cabral members. In the twentieth dis-
trict, that of Laps, things looked very blank, defeat seemed
sure, when, hurrah ! to the rescue ! the tramp of many feet
were heard, and up mass as auxiliary detaehment, masabar-
L ing 212, composed of a selectli body of the palace very Ree-
-1 vents, the German Guard, and policemen. One moire in-
stance : Sao Mamede. Here matters wore a sad
when, lo ! the sudden apparition of the non-com '
officers of the 10th ltegt., the band, drummers, fifers, sad
all, changed mourning into mirth, and Cabral " was the
cry;" and so on throughout tome eighteen out of the twenty-
two Lisbon districts, and the fight was won. The same
thing occurred at Cintra, the Windsor of Portugal, where
the Queen has her glimmer palace, and the foreign minimal'
their residence.
Turn now from mean frauds and dirty chicane to outrages
of a different description. At Aides Galles', a small
hamlet on the Tagus, not quite three leagues from the
city gates, the smoke from the village hearths can be
seen from Lisbon. The popular party, in spite of the presence
of • compact little force of voting Swiss, composed of 36
bayonets and 14 cavalry soldiers, contrived to gain the elu-
tion by a couple of votes. 8o unexpected a rrsn.t was re-
sented by the armed force, and some trifles outrage in-
flicted ; but when the next day's post brought the news of
the state of electoral affairs in the capital, the troops broke
bound', marched into the village market-place, and pro-
ceeded to compel the inhabitants to illuminate, and griev-
ously maltreated many ; neither woman nor child, nor grey
babe, were respected. The people at last sounded the alarm
bell, and a gathering of their rustic neighbours, armed with
stout sticks, came in, and then the tables were turned. The
troop. were compelled to retire to their barracks, but they
were not ill-treated. The government, on the accounts
arriving, despatched immediately a strong body of troops,
on the arrival of which at Aides Genes& quiet had been re-
stored. But the landing of thee* wretches soon altered the
case. The first thing done by the petty Cabral authorities,
was to quarter the soldiery upon the liberal voters, then to
levy a money contribution. A majority of the inhabitants
fled: their houses were then broken open, their property
sacked, and a general pillage was permitted. Other borrows
it will be well to shroud with a veil—it is sufficient to say,
that the sack of Braga was imitated upon a minor scale.
The same scenes as at Alden Gallegos were enacted in scores
of places.
Politics and the election doings have absorbed attention
so, that little of minor matters remains to be touched upon.
We have had but three small items in the way of occurrences
—e fire, • feast, and a royal christening. The Convent of
Menino Des was found to be in flames on the 2nd instant,
it raged with great violence, the inmates were happily saved,
but the edifice totally destroyed. On the 3rd, the christen-
ing of the infant prince took place, and the names given him
at the font are as follows :—Augusto Maria Fernando Carlos
Miguel Gabriel Rafael Agricola Francisco d'Amis Goneaga
Pedro de Alcantara Loyola de Braganca e Bourbon Saxe
Cobourg Gotha. I at tint thought of sending you but half
of the list, and to say " to be continued in my next ," the cere-
mony was unusually brilliant, several of the leading liberal
nobles being present.
The schooner Hannah Codner, of Yarmouth, bound from
that port to Genoa, with herrings, put into Lisbon the day
baton yesterday, • part of her crew in a state of mutiny. It
appears that three of the men (as far as can at present be
uceetained) were under the impression that the vowel had
specie on board, and laid a plan for murdering the captain
and mates, trusting to the chapter of accidents for after me-
mo in their designs : their intention was to throw the second
mate overboard, and then, with a cry of " man overboard,"
to surprise and kill the captain and first mate in the confu-
sion. They were overheard consulting about the matter by
the apprentice, who at first fe red to communicate the fact.
Subsequently he mentioned it to the steward, who at once
went to the captain, who, with the mates and a portion of
the crew, appeared upon deck well armed, end, as Lisbon
was the nearest port, sail was made for the Tuns. The
men have undergone investigation on shore, at the
British Consulate, and for the present are in safe duress at
the police prison.
The Oberon, which came in some days since, having on
board Mr. M. O'Ferrall, the governor of Malta, has since
left. The diplomatic body have been recently taken by sur-
prise by the publication, in the Betandarle (Cabrera private
property), of a confidential correspondence brtween Mr. H.
L. Bulwer, our minister at Madrid, and the Spanish go-
vernment respecting Portuguese affairs. The shameful
abuse of confidence on the part of the Spanish minister, in
forwarding these documents to Costa Cabral, meets with in-
dignant comment. Mr. H. L. Bulwer's letter is as fol-
