LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Fors o'Ci.ocx.
In order to complete the details of the news from
Portugal which appeared in this paper yesterday,
we append the following proclamation, issued by the
Oporto junta, announcing to the nation the surrender
of its powers :
Portuguese,—The supreme junta of the kingdom bas con-
chided a convention with the representatives of Spain and
Great Britain, for the purpose of putting an end to the civil
war, and reuniting the whole of the Portuguese family around
the conetitntional throne of her majesty the queen.
The faithful and exact fulfilment of the four articles offered
by the mediating powers, has been guaranteel by them.
Consequently, the junta, its army, its authorities, and the
whole of the people of this country, are about to return to
their constitutuanal obedience to the queen.
rti* Junta sincerely &ewes that, the throne being
respected as it ought to be by ell, and the constitutional
liberty of the Portuguese people being secured, we shall
never again see her majesty's loyal subjects, the citizens of
this kingdom, armed against each other, and waging a fra-
tricide war.
The faithful observance of the charter being guaranteed,
as it is, by the mediating power,, we cannot but hope that
those powers will likewise ensure to us sincerity, legality,
and freedom in the elections. . . . .

To this geld, therefore, where reason, and not deal, is the
weapon used, it is that every electoral body must come to
defend its principles, and seek for its political opinions a
noble and bloodless tritur ph.
The Junta, at the same time that it congratulates itself
sad the nation on the termination of so long and so
lamentable a civil war, hopes that no Portuguese who has
followed it, standard will retain the recollection of any
grievance he may have suff•red during the war.
The junta flatters itself that its conduct during the dia.
colt times in which it was called upon to rule over this
kingdom, in the name of the nation and the queen, will
have gained for it the esteem of the Portuguese people and
of the civilised world. . . . .

The junta considers its mission terminated in a noble and
honourable manner. The junta is about to dissolve itself.
Its members, returning into private life, will beer with them
the conviction that they always desired the welfare, liberty,
and glory of the Portuguese people. They wish for no
greater reward than the flattering record that they presided
so long over the destinies of a virtuous and gallant people.
And they will ever offer up sincere prayers for the glory of
her majesty the queen, the reconciliation other snbjects, and
the liberty and happiness of the Portuguese people.

Upon the surrender of Oporto the following general
order was issued by Marshal Saldanha :
Comrades,—ller Majesty in her magnanimity has con-
ceded the most ample amnesty, and no one shall dare to raise
his voice on the pest. The army, which has invariably given
evident proofs of its obedience and submission to the queen,
will act towards all Porturame, no matter what theiroputions
may have been, or what line of politics they have followed,
in a manner that will show it knows how to respect the will
of its sovereign, and use all its efforts to realise the sincere
union of the Portuguese family. If any individual (which I
dare not expect) shall fail in this sacred duty, he shall re-
ceive the punishment due to his offence.
