" Illustrious Senhor,—l forward to your Excellency

cellency the Commandant of the 7th Military Division,
whom you will infv,rm that the fortress under my com-

object alone I will execute the orders addressed to me
by the above-named excellent Senhor. Heaven pre-
serve your Excellency.

LIEUTENANT-COLONEL JOSE JUSTINO TEIXEIRA, MI-
LITARY GOVERNOR OF MARVAO, TO THE EXCEL-
LENT SENHOR C. C.BARATA.
" Illustrious Senhor—Weary of enduring the tyran-
nical measures adopted by the unprincipled men who
have assumed the control of our destiny, I have this
night resolved, in conjunction with the infantry No. 9
and No. 13, to raise the cry of Viva a Rainha a
Senhara Donna Maria II," The Constitution of 1838?
and Down with the Ministry.' It is necessary that
this movement should be general, and therefore I hope
that your Excellency will exert all your endeavours to
effect that object. I have likewise addressed a letter to
the commandant of the detachment. I entertain no
doubt that your Excellency will spare no exertions, for
I well know your patriotism and your character. At the
same time I pray you to place yourself in communication
with me, so that we may operate the more effectively.
" Heaven preserve your Excellency.

" Senhor Jose Justino de Carvalho, Governor
of the Fortress of Marvao."

" Portuguese soldiers and citizens ! Viva a Rainha
a Serikora Donna Maria 11.,' the Constitution of

1835," and Down with the Ministry.'—These are the
cries which it is our duty to raise, and to which no true
Portuguese ought to prove himself indifferent.
" Portuguese soldiers and citizens! The Ministry is
composed of despots—of men whose caprice is their
only law—of men who have betrayed, and who con-
tinue to betray, the confidence which her Majesty
the Queen has reposed in them—of men, in fine, who
have sold themselves to foreigners, as has been demon-
strated by our embassies to England. These men have
held us in a state of degradation, and, by their arbitrary
and infamous acts, have reduced us to our present
wretched condition—to misery and misfortune. They
are unworthy to direct the destinies of the nation. It

is for you, therefore, Portuguese soldiers and citi-
zens, to whom the country owes so many sacri-
fices in the cause of liberty—it is for you to arm
and discipline yourselves, and unite together to
avenge the outrages which have been perpetrated
upon us, and upon the Constitution to which we have
sworn fidelity, which we honour, and which it is our
duty:to defend. Portuguese soldiers and citizens ! let
us imitate our Spanish neighbours. They have driven
away their traitorous Ministers, and substituted in their
stead men of honour and character. With union and
courage victory is certain. Viva a Rainha Donna
Maria 11. Live the Constitution of 1838, and down
with the Ministry !

[The project of law passed by the Cortes, and the
measures taken to put down the insurrection, were
given in The Sun of yesterday.]

Judge—Did you not express fears that Lafarge was
ill ?—Ves, he was subject to head-ache.
Judge—Did you not express fears that you should
receive a letter from Paris sealed with black ?—No.

Judge—Nor run to meet the :postman with eager-
ness ?—This was possible. I was anxious for a letter.

Judge—lnstead of the small cake made by your
one large cake war; sent to Laffarge,
who was taken ill after e. ling it ?—I sent the small

cakes.

She was then asked to explain how she came to write
twice, and so very politely, to the apothecary for
arsenic ?—She said it was simply to kill rats.
What was the white powder that Mdlle. Brun had
seen her put i❑ Llffarge's drudt ?—SII(, said it was gum
powdered.

The Judge asked how, on th 9 very day that her hus-
band returned ill, she could think of writing for poison
to kill rats ? The Judge observed she had sent for
arsenic a second time, and recommended the servant not
to speak of the object of the mess/ tge. The rest of the
Judge's interrogatory follows close,'y the series of facts
announced in the requisition.

The trial was then adjourned to the next day.
The journals publish also three or four incoherent
notes written by Madame Laffarg e to young Guyet,
bar former lover, who has lately committed suicide.
The purport of these is to beg of him not to compro-
mise her, but to save her by his silel ice.
