THE REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL.
FLIGHT OF COUNT DE THOMAR.
The steam-ship Montrose, arrived -at Southampton on
Sunday, with the usual Peninsular mails. Her dates are
Gibraltar, April 25th, Cadiz 26th, Lisbon 29th, Oporto
30th, and Vigo 30th.
By this packet we have received important despatches.
The news of the rising at Oporto, in favour of the
insurrection of Marshal Saldanha, received by telegraph,
via Madrid and Paris, is fully confirmed. The insurrec-
tion of the Oporto garrison was caused by the arrest of
several officers by the Count de Casel, the governor
of Oporto, who remained faithful to the Queen's cause,
and who possessed proofs of a projected movement in
Oporto. The Count, after making several ineffectual
attempts to quell the revolt, abruptly quitted, Oporto on
the 25th ult., accompanied by only one aide-de-camp.
Colonel Cardozo, of the 2ad Infantry, in endeavouring to
bring his men to obedience, was shot by the soldiers.
The Duke of Saldanha entered Oporto on the 27th, and
has established his head quarters there. The whole city
turned out to welcome him, and his reception was most

26th, by telegraph, to Lisbon, Count de Thomar's minis-
try immediately tendered its resignation to the Queen,
and, this being accepted, the Count embarked on board
the Montrose. and was landed at Vizo, where he remains
watching the turn of events. The Count was not accom-
