SURRENDER OF LISBON.

" AUGUST 2.

" Despatches have been received from Lisbon,
dated the 25th ult., containing the important intel-
ligence of the establishment of the authority of the
Queen Donna Maria If. in that capital, where she
was proclaimed on the morning of the 24th ult.,

tr,rfon the 23d the Duke of Terceira, advancing
e
n from St. Übes, had met and totally routed the force
sent from Lisbon against him, under the command
of the too notorious Telles Jordao, who is said to
have been killed in the action. Upon the receipt
of this intelligence in Lisbon, the Duke of Cadaval,
and the rest of Don Aliguel's Ministers, decided on
withdrawing from the capital, which they did in the
course of the same night, taking with them about
four thousand troops, and retreating to the north.
The townspeople on the following morning (the
24th), finding their oppressors gone, with one con-
sent hoisted the standard of Donna Maria, and pro-
claimed her Majesty in due form, with every ap.
pearance of enthusiasm. Their first step was to
open the prisons and liberate the numerous victims
of Miguel's tyranny. About the same time the co-
lours of Villa Flor's army appeared on the opposite
heights, and in the afternoon he himself crossed the
Tagus, in the midst of salutes and rejoicings, and
issued a proclamation in the name of the Queen.
" On the 25th, when the letters were despatched,
Lisbon was perfectly tranquil again, and but few ex-
cesses had been committed, considering the excite-
ment which must naturally have attended such a
crisis, and the wrongs to which so many of the in-
habitants had been so long subjected. Napier's fleet,
with the Duke of Palmetto on board, was then enter-
ing the Tagus.
" The news of these events having reached
Oporto on the 26th, Don Pedro embarked that
night from the Foz on board a steamer for Lisbon,
leaving to Saldanha the supreme command, both
civil and military. Up to the 27th Marshal Bout--
mont had not renewed his attack on the town, and,
as troops were observed to be passing over to the
south bank of the Douro, it was supposed that he
was about to raise the siege.

" SUPPLEMENT TO THE CHRONICA CONSTI
TUCIONAL OF OPORTO.
" OFFICIAL PART. FRIDAY, JULY 26.

" Most Illustrious and Excellent Senhor,
" It has fallen to my good fortune to have to an-
nounce to your Excellency the glorious news of the
entrance of the Queen's troops into Lisbon, which
took place this morning, after an action, in which
the Duke of Terceira completely defeated the
enemy's troops, commanded by Telles Jordao, on
the left bank of the Tagus.
"Not to withhold for an instant intelligence of
so much importance, the Admiral is now despatch-
ing a steam-boat, and I have only time to write
these few lines, adding, that the squadron is at this
very moment passing the bar, under the salutes of
Fort St. Julian, and that the glorious standard of
the Queen now waves on the castle of St. George.
" The remains of the rebel troops that have
been able to form a junction have marched by the
Campo Grande, directing their route, I suppose on
Cabeca.

" I beg to assure your Excellency that I am de-
voting all my faculties to endeavour to justify the
high confidence which his Majesty has placed in
me, reserving to myself merely to pray for the
speedy arrival of that august Senhor to relieve me
from the burden of a charge which so much sur-
passes my strength.
" The Duke of PALMELL A.
" On board the Admiral's ship, in the mouth
of the Tagus, July 24.

" SUBSTANCE OF A LETTER FROM AN EMI-
NENT PERSON.

" The Duke of Terceira marched from St. Übes
on the 22d, and on the 23d approached the southern
bank of the Tap!. General Jordao (the hero of
St. Julian's) was sent with all the disposable force
from Lisbon to the southern bank to oppose his
progress, having under his command near 6,000
men; the Duke of Terceira only 1,500. The
Duke instantly attacked him, routed him at every
point, drove his forces into the river, and Jordao
was killed on the quay at the batik. On the night
of the 23d the Duke of Cadaval, with Don Mi-
guel's garrison, evacuated Lisbon. In the morning
the town was without any garrison; the populace
opened the prisons, liberated 5,000 prisoners, mostly
for political offences, committed some few excesses,
and a few lives were lost. They proceeded to pro-
claim Donna Maria, and armed themselves as a na-
tional guard, communicated with the Duke of Ter-
ceira on the southern bank, hoisted Donna Maria's
standard on the citadel of Lisbon, and afterwards the
flag of England, which they saluted with 21 guns.
Admiral Parker and the British squadron saluted
the flag of Donna Maria. On the 25th, the town
was perfectly tranquil, and on the afternoon of that
day, Admiral Napier's squadron, with Palmella oa
board, entered the Tagus. The Duke of Terceira
was left in command of Lisbon, and in possession
of all the forts. Deserters were coming in rapidly
from Miguel's forces, which were in retreat on the
Douro.

" The accounts from Oporto on the evening of
the 27th, state, that no fresh attack had been made
since the 25th. Don Pedro embarked in a steamer
with fifty attendants, on the evening of the 27th,
and sailed direct for Lisbon."
