ner/ • A very extraordinary scene took plane at Estrella NI.. to
on the 16th of May, upon the occasirm of the Queen's i'L'Aitere
that convent. It appears that upov.i her Majesty's arrival'',4ll
the nuns seized and dragged her in solemn procession tbre,74
the cloisters, took her to the church, knelt down beside :,16,
and commenced a regular din of lamentations and supla'f,
tions, requesting the Queen not to forsake the Catholic 'g
gion of the country, which was fast sinking, &c., and it
with no small difficulty that her Majesty regained her
from them, after near one hour's suffering of this clals.°
Her Imperial Majesty the Duchess of Braganza who 8;4
panied the Queen to the convent-gate, warned who
that
was some premeditated plot or other, and would not go o
but waited at the British burying-ground for her 3laiest
010
coming out. Great efforts appear to be making by the 014
and their partisans in order to frighten these good people Ce
becoming purchasers of church property ; for instance, t sap
is a fine convent with rich lands annexed at Vizeu, called,ol
Antonio, which will be offered for sale at the end of 11.,b,
month ; but reports have already been spread in the 2e,,110
bourhood by the priests, that the souls of the departed t('''not
assemble there at night to chaunt divine service al"id walk ;opt
the grounds in solemn procession, so that whoever shall att;iiis
to disturb them in the quiet possession of the same
cursed to all eternity.
