Lunn,. AUG. 30.—You doubtless mast hear
this packet, which goes off express, the late ereat si
the change in the Government of the Pruiinces web
of Oporto, and at that city, which was publiclydeclarti
and sworn to by all the authorities, military, cirii
clerical, and others on the 2-Ith instant. The ex alp"
has been followed at Coinal.ra and Leira; also at
Abrantes. from whence the tro•aps and anitlJia force+
have marched to join the common cans.. glary an
paid all their arrears due hy the Royal Government.
and there seems every reason to believe all the *roans
here anal in the vitinity will take the same part. he
Government yesterday issued a Prorlatuation exlme•
leg every one to maintain order and faith toward:
King. Order certainly exists, and we hope it will
prevail, but very little respect has been sl:oltn to the
Proclamation."
