we yes:ertlay received too late for insertion. By pre-
reeding events, it was 'known that the Oporto Junta
had made every effort to produce a movement in Lis-
bon. The Regency maintained itself there till the
lath of September in a singular position, unable to
organise any means of resistance, hut on the other
hand, without having to repel any direct attack. Each
party was in presence of the collie, and both were
calmly waiting what events were abmt to decide. The
only measure the Governor had resorted to was to con-
Inc the troops, but on the 15th, about five in the af-
ternoon, the regiments of the line in garrison marched
to the Roscio-square, where they were soon joined by
the cavalry, artillery, and militia. All classes of
people joined them in an instant. Count Itesende took
the command, and, as the choice of the people, was re-
ceived amidst loud acclamations. The p. ogle mani-
fested their wishes for the formation of a Provisional
Uovernatent, and this was immediately done. The
persons chosen were, Messrs. "'Here, Count San Paio,
Count Resenole, Count Pena fief, Lieutenant-tleneral
Atedo and Herman Braattranip. Freire and Asedo
were not at Lisbon at the time of their nomination.
The new Government immediately entered on its
functions. The first order issued was to enjoin the
Commanders of the forts at Belem and the Bar not to
let any vessel pass without permission. Instructions
were also sent o:f to various points to insure public
aid secure obedience to the new Govern-
humt. A Courier is as dispatched to Count Barbacena,
oar of the Commissioners named by the Regency, to
st.p all movements of troops under his unless. The
army of the North and Oporto Junta also reeeiv d com-
munication of these events, with an invitation to form
a general union of all the new authorities, in order to
labour in concert fsr the welfare of the nation, and to
comply with its wishes regarding the organisation of
a Constitutional Government Consiitctiokel ).
