As no later intelligence has reached town from
Lisbon than that which we yesterday communicated,
we have little to add to our details of the counter-
revolution at Lisbon, which all the accounts represent
as having been consummated. Indeed, abandoned
by the Royal Family And by the Army, the Cortes
could do ❑othing but acquiesce in the preparation of
the new Constitutioh which the KING has promised.

It is gratifying to find, that although the counter-
revolution has been so complete, that it has not been
stained by blood, and that although the Constitu-
that has been.overturned, the KING does not assume
that power wVell France endeavours to give to the
KING Of SPAIN, that all institutions must emanate
from the Sovereign.
_ _ .

On the contrary, the KING of PORTUGAL is the
first to disavow this principle. " I do not," says he,
" desi►e absolute power, and this day I reject it;'.
and, acknowledging that the wishes of the people
ought alone to be consulted as to the form of Go-
vernment they may adopt, he says, " Experience,
the wise instructress of Nations and Governments,
has demonstrated, in a manner very afflicting to me
and fatal to the nation, that the existing institutions
are incompatible with the will, the customs, and the
persuasions of the greater part of the Monarchy."
He further urges as a reason for reforming the insti-
tutiOns, that " the majority of the realm declares
itself openly and hostilely against them."
Imperiect as the intelligence from Portugal at
.pre-
sent is, and being in hourly expectation of the arrival
of later packets, three of which are due, we
forbear from offering any conjectures as to the pro-
bable con,cquences of the counter-revolution in Lis-
bon : we may, however, observe, that we conceive
the King has only yielded to imperious circumstances,
and that this event will not afford that triumph to the
French which the Paris Journalists anticipate from it.
The important events which have occurred will be
found accurately detailed in the following summary:
The 23d Regiment of Infantry stati►ned at the
Castle of St. George, Lisbon, had received orders to
proceed to the province of Beira, to oppose the ope-
rations of AMARANTE, who was daily expected there;
but they had not proceeded further than Sacavem, a
village two leagues distant, when they halted and
cried out, " Viva El Rey absoluto, el Morre a Condi-
tuicao." They were soon afterwards joined by Don
MIGUEL, the KING'S second son, who had left the
Palace of Queluz, two leagues on the other side of
Lisbon, taking with him a squadron of Cavalry which
was doing duty at the Palace. They immediately
proceeded to Villa Franca, and from thence to San-
tarem, and were well received every part of the way.
Dispatches, in the KING'S name, were sent by the
Prinie, to all the troopsin the North, to come down
immediately and meethim at Coimbra, to relieve the
KING, and give a death blow to the Constitution.
--As soon as this was known in Lisbon, all the mili-
tia, Volunteers, and National Guards were called out
to protect the city and to maintain order. On the
.morning of the 28th more regiments of the line
,parched, of their own accord, to join the PRINCE,
who had written a letter to his father (already pub-
ished in the Star). In consequente of these events a
nessage was sent from the Cortes to his MAJESTY,
:_daring that the present Ministry had lost the con-
'deuce of the country. His MAJESTY assembled a
and deliberated with them on the appoint-

ment of a new Ministry, which was made; some or
the individuals selected refusing to accept of office.
On the 29th, being Corpus Christi day, the troops
of the garrison assembled, as is their custom, to parade
the streets. After the ceremony took place, they re-
paired to the Tetreiro do Paco (a square), from whence
all the regiments of the line (with the exception of the
18th infantry), and one or two regiments of militia,
marched to join Prince MIGUEL, for whom General
SEPULVEDA, the military Governor, also 'declared
himself. The other Militia regiments, the 18th in-
fantry, and part of the artillery ok the line, refused to
follow the Governor, who nearly lost his life in the
square, as one individual endeavoured to murder him,
and he was hindered from such a deed by Gene-
ral AVILEZ and some *ther 'Officers. The troops
declared on this occasion, that they wished some
changes in the Constitution, naming particularly the
establishment of two Chambers. and the KING to have
an absolute veto.

On the 30th it was found that all the regular troops
had followed their companions, with the exception of
one regiment, the 18th ; and only militia and volun-
teers, and this single corps, left to preserve the peace.
In the evening, however, this same regiment, on re-
turning from a field a little out of town, where they
had been stationed all day, struck off to the palace of
Bemposta, in the suburbs, and where the KING was,
drew up opposite the windows, and called out, Viva
El Rey Absolato. The KING appeared, asked what
they wanted, and was answered by the same excla-
mation, as did one of the Princesses, who spoke a
few words, and met the same reception. She was
immediately followed by the Marquess de Tascos,
who gave the same viva, in which the KING and his
two daughters joined, and having thus declared them.
selves, withdrew.

At seven o'clock, P. M. they entered their several
carriages, which were in readiness, and were joined
by as many of the Nobility as were at band, and
drove off for Villa Franca, and were immediately
followed by the regiment. The QUEEN started from
her Palace of Remallao, in the neighbourhood of Cin-
tra, much about the same time, and quickly joined the
Royal party. Abandoned as the populous and wealthy
city of Lisbon thus was, and without any means of de-
fence against those who always avail themselves of such
a crisis to disturb public tranquillity and commit every
kind of excess, too much praise cannot be bestowed
on the Camera (City Corporation), the Commercial
Corp, both infantry and cavalry, the National Guards,
and remaining regiments of militia, for their decisive
measures and unremitted excitions to preseive good
order in the capital, which was perfectly tranquil
when the packet sailed on the Ist instant. A project
had been discovered of opening all the prisons, and
giving liberty to the numerous felons but fortunately
it was anticipated, and the trust of the prisons given
to the guard of the Commercial Corps, who behaved
on this occasion with their usual energy and courage.
The felons in the castle of St. George endeav ou red twice
to force the prison, but found the necessary resistance,
and the guard fired on them, killing and wounding se-
veral. The Cortes held their Session on the 31st at the
usual hour, and transacted their business in the usual
way. and in all quietness. The Camera sent a de-
putation to the KING on„the 31st, begging to know
what were his Royal intetitions : 'the deputation re-
turned late in the night, with an answer, that his
MAJESTY by no means wished to return to the old
system; but it was necessary to frame a Constitution
more adapted to the interests of all classes. His MA-
JESTY'S I.llanifesto or Proclamation is countersigned
by NIOSINIIO DA SILVEIRA, who had been appointed
Minister of Finance a few days before: It was re-
ported, late on the 31st, that the KING had chosen
the following Ministers :—Count Patmett.a, for Fti-
reign Affairs ; Count dos Ancos, others say Count
VILLkFLOR, for the Navy ; General PAMPELONA,
for the War ; Justice, MARINIIO, late Intendant of
Police, for the Home and Justice Departments;
Baron SExEIRA, for the Finances."

EXTRACT CfP A LETTER FROM GENERAL PEPE.

"LISBON. MAY 50.

" You will be surprised to learn that Prince D. Ui-
gnel, son of the King, revolted at the head of two
regiments. Yesterday, General Sepulveda went over
with another regiment. The Provinces are in com-
plete revolt. lam in the midst of treachery and in-
famy. However, this morning the national guard,
came to me, demanding that I should put myself at
their head. What a contrast between their conduct
and that of their chiefs ; I shall remain in this city so
long as theie is a breath of Portuguese liberty.

The 30th in the evening.—l resume my pen to
tell you, that even the King has joined the factious!'
All is lost !—The marine has also revolted !"

The French Papers of Tuesday have reached us,
but they contain no intelligence of importance. The
official part of the Moniteur contains some military
details, which appear to be drawn up in the usual style
of exaggeration. BALLASTEROS is stated to have lost
1,000 men in the siege of Saguntum ; and Mtplet, we
are told for the hundredth time, is annihilated. The
following is the state of the funds on Tuesday.

Five per cent. Consols opened at 88f. 85c. dosed at 88f. 110 c.

Bayonne Papers to the 20th inst. have reached es.
The following are the only articles of intelligence
they contain :

BAYONNE, JUNE 16.

Unless we should receive some news by the way of
Oleron, or by the army post, which is not very re•

gular, we shall not have much to communicate to-
day. We have seen private letters from persons be-
longing to the Stall', which shew that the 'writers are
less sangt:ine than they were at first ; they say it is im-
possible to do anything with the Spanish people, on
account of their obstinate stupidity : it seems, like-
wise, not to have been expected that tire Constitu-
tional party would really remove the King to Cadiz;
and this event appears to have, in some measure, de-
ranged the plans that were laid down, as it will render
a much greater number of troops necessary.
The provinces on our frontiers are still in a very
unfortunate situation, on account of the continual
passage of troops, and the guerillas which are form-
ing there every moment ; however, it does not ap-
pear that they have yet attempted anything of im-
portance. Letters from Santander and Bilboa have
even :ontradicted the news, which had been announced
as certain, of the entrance of Campanillo and the
Pastor; but they say, that their arrival is everywhere
looked for,with fear by some, and with hope by others.
We hear no more of the sieges of St. Sebastian and
Pampeluna than if there were no such places in ex-
istence. It is affirmed that a division of 200 laden
mules has been seized near Vittoria, by a guerilla,
which has sent back the drivers without doing them
any harm.

The merchants are at present in a state of anxiety
on account of the re-establishment of the duties of
Customs, on the same footing as they were before
1820. The old system prohibits all cotton manufac-
tures, which ale, however, introduced by the smug-
glers, whom it is impossible to restrain. The mer-;
chants, even of the Royalist party, complain bitterly.
It is said that a loan is to be negotiated by the Re-
gency, which is in want of money. '

Yesterday w•e heard very distinctly, fiorn this city,
a cannonade and a pretty smart firing of musketry,
in the direction of St. Sebastian.

Considerable quantities of mules and caissons con-
tinue to be sent from this city to the army. Letters
from the South give nothing but details of the fa-

tiguing marches which Mina obliges our troops to
make, by feigning to fly before them.
It is said that all the Ambassadors of the Holy
Alliance, who were at Madrid with the King, are
going to be sent to the Regency. M. de Bulgari
passed through last night, on his way to Madrid.

Dutch Papers to the 25th, and Hamburgh Papers
to the 21st instant, have reached us; but they con-
tain no political news of importance. The marriage
of Prince OSCAR was to take place on the 22d inst.
The QUEEN and the PnincEss arrived at Stockholm
on the 14th inst. The Berlin State Gazette contra-
dicts the report of large quantities of corn having
been, sent from the ltoyal magazines at Dantzic to
supply the fortresses on the Rhine; but a small quan-
tity has been sent from Ruthenau to the Rhine, by
way of Hamburgh and Holland.

We feel happy in announcing that there is every
reason to hope that the approaching Twelfth of July,
which has been so much dreaded in Ireland, is likely
to pass over more tranquilly than it has usually done.
On Monday the Grand District Orange Lodge of
Dublin held a Meeting, at. which an Address was
agreed upon to the various Members of the Orange
Association in that.district, calling upon them to use
their influence in preventing any celebration of that
day. In the Address, which is signed ALFRED
Ho wino, Giarid Secretary, Dublin District, they say,
,4 We do hereby earnestly recommend every loyal Pro-
testant, but more especially those who associate toge-
ther under the name of Orangemen, to. abstain from
taking any part whatsoever in any public celebration
of that day ; and more particularly from the decora-
tion of the Statue of King WILLIAM, in College
Green, conceiving it, as we do, to be a custom alto-
gether unimportant, and one, the continuation of
which, under existing circumstances, might, in all pro-
bability, endanger the lives and properties of his
NIAJESTY'S liege subjects; whilst refraining from its
observance can never, in the slightest degree, com-
promise the dignity of the Protestant Religion, or
tend to the abolition of the Loyal Orange Associa-
tion ; and we do solemnly intreat our brethren to
refrain from sanctioning, either by their presence or
assistance, any act which may not meet the approba-
tion of his MAJESTY'S Government, or might tend to
create dissention or ill-will amongst his subjects."

We trust that this Address will have the desired
effect, and that the Roman Catholics, on their part,
will act with that temper and moderation which shall
not afford a pretext, either for their own partisans or
those of the Orange Society, to create those dissen-
sions which have long been so injurious to Ireland.

Yesterday afternoon a Cabinet Council was held at
the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, which was at-
tended by
The Earl of Liverpool, the Earl cf Westmorland, Mr. Teel,
Mr. Canning, Bari Bathurst, Viscount Milvrne, Viscount Sid-
mouth, Mr. Wynn, itc.—The Cabinet broke up at a quarter past
three o'clock. The Secietary of State for Ireland was in at-
tendance during the sitting of the Cabinet. '
Jamaica Papers ;o the 10th of May, reached us
this morning by the regular Mail, bringing intelli-
gence from Colombia to the 7th of April. TheCon-
greu was to assemble at Bogota on the 17th of last
month. It• is stated in the Bogota Gazette of the
6th of April, that Maracaibo is closely blockaded ;
that the Royalists are in great confusion and despair,
4001aving deserted, and their ammunition nearly
expended; and that Puerto Cabello is closely in-
vested by the Independents,
New York Pipets to th*29th ult.have reached us,
but they contain no news.
