PORTUGAL.

Letters from Lisbon, of the i7th inst., state that
the Chartist insurrection is spreading over the north
of Portugal. The Charter has been proclaimed in Coim-
bra, Valencia, Braga, Guimaraes, Vianna, Villa Real,
Aveiro, Chaves, Varzim, Villa Nova da [Gaya, Villa
Nova da Famalicas, Villa da Santo Thyrso, Gondomar,
Lonzada, Amarante, Baiao, Santa Cruz, Barrosas, Pare-
des, Negrellos, Benivioa, Villa da Feira, and in Castello
Branco.

The Municipal Chambers, or Councils, of all the
towns have proclaimed the Charter, and forwarded in-
telligence of their adhesion to the Provisional Junta
at Oporto. An academic battalion has been enrolled
at Coimbra by order of the Junta, and supplied by
them with 300 stands of arms. A grand re-
' view took rplace at Oporto during the course
of the past week, and the Te Deum was sung upon Sun-
day in honour of the movement 1 The Barons de Val-
longa and de Leirea reached Oporto on the Ist instant,
with a poriion of the troops under their command, and
the Bth and 9th Regiments were hourly expected. The
Junta had allocated 20 eoliths of reis out of the seized
public funds, for pay and loans to the soldiers in Oporto.
The three provinces of the north, which have now al-
most universally given in their adhesion to the revolt at
Oporto, contain more than half the.population of the
kingdom. The QUEEN is still without a Cabinet, the
Duke of PAL3IELLA being unable to form one. Her
MAJESTY is at the bottom of these revolutionary move-
ments.
