Letters
received this morning by the Lisbon
4141, state that every thing is in the greatest
"ilusion in the Portuguese capital. Above eight
bnodred persons have been arrested by the party
or the QUEEN and the INF.A NT j and the War
14inister had been obliged to seek shelter on
'hood an English frigate.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday,
"NtaWog intelligence of the revolutionary at-
-1:11Ipt at Lisbon, which we first announced in
41; SiN of Monday last. The attempt appears
l'Y these accounts to have been still more for-
nlidable and alarming than we at first imagined.

( From the Journal des Debate.)
30,,`` April troops of the garrison had assembled on the
"1 of at the Roseio, Prince Miguel at their head. The
greater part of the King's Ministers, sevetal military officers,
,tl,l other persons, were arrested by order of the Prince. Dur-
-41,g these events the Queen arrived at Lisbon. At the demand
the French Ambassador, the Corps Diplomatique assembled
at the
kXing's Palace, which was guarded by the troops. The
.rornandant refused them admittance to the King, unless the
.iTr
nce's order to admit was roduced. N. de Neu-
ile declared that Europethem only knew the King. Hyde
His firmness
rerawed them, and one of the Prince's Aides-de-Camp intro-
,tioed the members of the Diplomatic Body into the King's
„,.11egence. The King declared that what had passed had oc-
v""tred neither by his advice nor by his order, but that his son
~Pold shortly arrive. In fact, the Infant Don Miguel me-
qottely presented himself, bent his knee to the earth, kissed
bthe hand of the King, and declared to the Ministers and Am-
.,fttadors that a conspiracy against his life and against that of
''he King had been discovered, and that he had taken measures
to defeat it ; that if the Ambassadors had been detained for an
LOgrant at the entrance, it was because he feared that along
nth them some malevolent persons might obtain access to the
Theand that he had come to receive ehis Majesty's orders.
troops retired to their quarters by order of the King. It
as night before the Ambassadors left the Palace. The fol-
lowing day, the Ist of May, they again waited on the King,
and afterwards visited Count Palmella, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, who had then been set at liberty. On this occasion
the Diplomatic Body has done itself the greatest honour ; and
the French Ambassador, in particular, has distinguished him-
telt by loyal, decided, and courageous conduct. It is not yet
vlown how this scene has terminated, but since it did not pro-
114ce, in
_. the first instance, all the effect which it was apparently
nletllated to produce, it may be considered as having failed in
41 Principal intended results. '

'We have received the Lisbon Gazettes to the
inst., giving an account, though very imper-
fect and unsatisfactory, of the extraordinary
movement which took place in that capital on the
3°ol April, and some documents, in which Don
141Gutc, its author, pretends to explain his mo-
tives and justify his conduct. These documents,
'which relate to the proceedings anterior to his
submission to the KING'S authority, consist of
proclamation to the troops, a letter to the
Jingo, and a proclamation to the Portuguese
people. From the spirit which breathes, and the
Principies which are urged, in all of them, the in-
tentions of this young knight-errant of legitimacy,
and of the party who place him at their head, are
manifest. The counter-revolution of last summer,
though it overthrew all security for rational li-
berty, and banished the authors and partisans of
Constitutional Government, was reckoned by
the QUEEN'S friends incomplete while any mode-
ration was manifested in the councils of the KING,
15r any check was opposed to the dominion of the
4dast unbounded fanaticism or arbitrary violence.
PALmELLA, and the Royalist Ministers
were mainly instrumental in bringing
eat the changes of last year, were, in the pro-
gress of the movement which they had originated,
"asidered themselves as revolutionists ; and, as
Watch-word was wanted for the troops and the
rabble, were stigmatized as anarchists and free-
It should be recollected that the
lonks and fanatics of Spain and Portugal

f,7nahle horror and monstrous criminality to the

like the giants and enchanters of romance, fit ob-
lects for the enterprises of this infant Don Quixotic.
t is curious enough that the Prince pretends to
'amid his rebellious proceeding on the assump-
Ilan that the KING, his father, is not a free agent,
but is held in a state of duressc by a faction
fruits
his Royal person ! This is one of the
'Nits of the iniquitous scenes that have been
acted in Spain. The French Government, by
e4llll-)loying precisely the same pretext in jus-
"fication of their invasion of the Peninsula, have
tone more injury to the cause and the safety of
,iags, and to the security of their thrones, than
all the revolutionists who have ever yet exist-
