Friday, July 4.)
TRIUMPH OF ROYALTY.

Yesterday, the 3d instant, was a day of rejoicing
for the faithful and honourable royalists, as being,
that on which the vanguard division of the restorinP
army entered our city. This army, marching frog
the capital, has' freed, in the city of Coimbra a 9
Oporto, the people who were oppressed by the role;
lutionists ; a military faction which attempted til
greatest of all innovations; for having assembled
l,
,
Council on the 17th of May last, they in the;
manifestoes declared the governing power of bill
Majesty Don Miguel I. as of no authority, althoug,
he was then Regent of the Kingdom. This tactic'
then coming in contact with other insubordinnti
bodies who were in the provinces, found it easy tl
attach them to its party, and, marching to Condeio,
remained there until the beginning of June, withuLE
however being able to advance any further.
The true Portuguese could not tolerate such are'
bellion got up by the military, who should take ue
part in the deliberations of government; .for which
reason great numbers retired from the city, including
the ecclesiastical, civil, and military authorities!
Some of them took up arms, as also did the people
of the provinces of Minho, Tras os Monte,
Beira, and, joined to some faithful troops, hawse°
the revolutionists (who never possessed more thall
the ground they occupied) until the restoring arroi
marched in division, and with much credit effected
junction at Leiria. The rebels were immediately at°
tacked in the environs of Condeixa, where thel
entrenched themselves; the firing began on the 24,0,
ult.; and the consequence Was the abandonment d
all their positions, both at Coimbra and the Voue
and early on the morning of the 3d instant the)
marched oat of this city, with their forces much re'
duced, from the losses which they had suffered
the different attacks.

The revolutionists destroyed the bridge across till
Douro, after they had passed it, but it was soon re'
established; and, with the assistance of boats, tlO
royal troops began to pass the river at nine o'cloc/‘
yesterday morning. They were received in this citi,
with much joy, ringing of bells, firing in the air, and
immense vivas.

The windows of all the streets through whicl
they passed were ornamented with drapery, al"
flowers were flung from them upon the soldiel
The streets were crowded by the inhabitants, auxi4
ous to have the pleasure of seeing their liberator`'
The rebels marched in disorder through Brae
street, and as they were pursued by some Royalist
divisions, it is to be supposed that they have uol
escaped, and even that many soldiers among the
have already surrendered, after seeing how mud
their chiefs have deceived them.
The restoring troops behaved themselves oa ea'
tering this city N%ith true friendship, preserving died
cipline and subordination. Demonstrations of joY
continued all the day, and at night the city was ge,
nerally illuminated as on occasions of the greatest
public rejoicing. An entertainment was given at the
Royal Theatre of St. John, in order to solemnise 5°
happy an occurrence.
The following was published by order of his
Excellency,' General Povoas, commandant of di'
vision

Head Quarters of the Advanced Division
of the Army, Oporto, July 3, 1828.
" 1. The General commanding the advanced diva'
sion of the army of operation informs the inhabitant.
of Oporto, in the name of his Majesty Don Miguel
1., that he will give protection to all, and permit no
acts of vengeance against the defeated party (portal
supplantado), for from this moment forward, all
should consider themselves as belonging to the salve,
Portuguese family, in the certainty that the law wil
punish those who favoured the rebellio%; but the
law only, and its officers, and nOt'by other person./
who have neither mission nor commission.
" 2. The troops of the division under his cool'
mand are loyal to his Majesty Don Miguel I. The,'
are subordinate—they are brave and valorous in the
field of battle. Such troops ought not to stale
themselves by any similarity with the troops of the
' rebels. They did not respect the rights of the inha'
bitants, which our troops have come to secure. °II
this account the General hopes he will hear no corn'
plaint against men who have put to flight those re',
bels who plundered every thing. They should show,
themselves obedient and protect the good, withou
pursuing the bad, and leaving their chastisement to
the functionaries of the law, who will also do the
proper service to his Majesty.
(The 3d Article orders the soldiers under Ill!
command, who are dispersed in the city, to present
themselves at head quarters.)
