" Time elucidation given by the Minister in :he Chant-
b rs these past few days have . been censAered by
its mem!,ers to be of a very vague nature, which has led to
strong observations and remonstrances on the part of the
deputies, and it :s next to impossible to say which party is
gaining ground. The Marquis de Saldanna is reported to
be near Castello Brai.ca, having been joined by General
Schwalhrack (Baron de Setubal), but their force is repre:
seated to be reduced to a small number of c iyalry, their in-
fantry having mottly deserted them. 'Esc Baron de Bow-
fin, is stated to have received orders to attack Marshal
Saldanha. The Government bulletin issued last night tell.;
us that the Marshal has in consequence left Costello
Branco, and is moving towards Ladoeiro on the Oirect
road to Spain. The Viscount de Sada Bonacira contioues
to invest Visltnca without any apparent result as yet on
either side.

successor to the throne. Grand preparata .us are mak:fig
for the public rejoicings on the occasion, and tie Municipal
