CIVIL WAR IN PORTUGAL.

LISBON, Mity 19, Evening.

This morning, at 1 o'clock, Marshal Saldanha, made a
pronunciamento with six battalions, and proceeded to the
Royal Palace, where he was opposed by the Guards. An
encounter ensued, and seven soldiers were killed and
thirty wounded.
Marshal Saldanha took possession of Fort St. George.
At four o'clock Marshal Saldanha entered the Royal
Palace and had a long interview with the King, who sum-
moned the Prime Minister, the Marquis de Soule, to his
presence. The latter at once tendered his resignation,
which was accepted.
Marshal Saldanha has now been entrusted with the for-
mation of a new Cabinet, in which he himself will hold
the post of Minister of War.
The City of Oporto and other towns made common
cause with the movement, which, however, was of a
purely military character. The people remained perfectly
tranquil.
A dissolution of the Chamber is considered probable.

North American provinces with the United States.
