LISBON, Jocr 27.

Ater ten o'clock last night crowds continued to tra-
verse the city, repeatedly shouting " as in the pre-
ceding part of the night. A multitude assembled before
the house of the Finance Minister ; and the crowd
being asked what they want -d, they rep►ied, through the.
medium of five persons deputed fir that purpose, that
they wished his Excellency would be pleased to say
whether her Highness the Regent had received notice
of the general dissatisfaction occasioned by the dismissal
of his Excell:ncy General Saldanha. The Minister re.
plied, with the greatest affability, that the Seithora In-
tanta was probably at that moment informed of what,
had happened, and that they slit uld await her orders,
which it was their dray to respect, maintaining in the,
meantime public peace and tratiqtrillity. The mid- itude,
quiv! ati- fled ,then withdrew,shouting ropeated "fiv2s."
We are sorry that we cannot state that the same or-
der and moderation was observed by the crowd which
repaired to the house of the Ch incellor Mattis. It
appears that the imprudent language or one of hi.
Lord hip's servants, vih addressing the multitude,
cried, " Away with you, you drunkard.," provoked
this much of exce-s, that some stones were thrown at
the window whence the insulting cry had issued. For-
tunately the presence of the patrols te.establialied order.

The very honourable Joie Novo, who, w•e Stated,
Yesterday, was to have gone at two o'clock in the morn-
ing to Villa das Calvas, lett town this evei,ing after the
Casa of Twenty-tour had met. In the evening we
learned by an order of th? day, issued from the office
of tl.e Secretary at War, that Court de Pirate bad been
appointed Minister and Secretary i f State Inv that De-
partment, instead of Senhor Candid() J ,se X 'vier, who,
it is said, declined tie appointr••ent. We also lean that
Count de Villa for has been* appointed Commend .nt
Of the artned force firming the garrison of this capital.
At night a peal number of persons assembled in the
Terresro do Pac,., arid cannoned to shout the same
Vivas which had been head during the p►eceding niht-.
The cavalry posted there dispersed the crowd w ith son:e
difficulty, it being necesso yto employ force. •
We do not mean to discuss the rectitude of any 01
these proceedings, which we have merely recounted.
From the commencement of this unfortunate affair we
have adhered to the Crnstitutional right expre-sed in
the ChArter. Nothing more remains to be said. The
fact being known, and the tight acknowledged, every
one may make the application according to .his con-
science. We ale, however, convinced, and we do ni t
hesitate to state it frankly, that under circumstances
such as have occurred, the Government ought to com-
bine firmness with mil,lne,s, to employ persuasion ra-
ther than force; and that it will be found much better
to try, as far as possib e, to produce conviction in pre-
ference to compulsion.

"Some Officers having appeared among the groups
of individuals who, convulsing the capital, have pre-
tended to disapprove, in a manner most disgraceful for
the nation, the determinations of her Highness the Sen-
bora Infanta Regent, by their attacking the authority of
the said august Senhora, and the Constitutional Charter
in article 74, sec. 5, her Highness orders, in the name
of the King, that the General of the Court and Prt.vince,
the commanders of corps, and other military authorities,
do make known to all persons under their jurisdiction,
that her Highness will cause to be punished exemplarily
every Officer of the Army who may neglect the first t,f
military duties, subordination.
