PORTUGUESE REVOLT.
Gr.5T The new and elegant Ship Fame, Capt
Folsom, arrived this morning, IN "a days from
st. Ubes.-Capt. Folsom has furnished us with a
Supplement to DaGro do Goyerno,
Published at Lisbon, Nav eth, 1923,
From which we have made the following trans
lation:
The humiliation and nfamy has been reserved
for our days Of whcha degenerate Portuguese
is the author a near relation Of the factious Sill
veiras and Of which the following is an account
1t is some time since the Government have
had suspicious of Brig. Gen. SAMPAYO, com
handing the 23d regiment ofinfantry. The in-
tricuing conduct Of this officer was the true
cause Of the order Of Government issued on the
morning of the eth, directing this Regiment to
march TO its post in the Province Of Beira to join
the army Of observation. The infamous Sam
payo availed himself Of this occasion to seduce
the unsuspechng soldiers. He made them halt
in the neighborhood Of the city TLisbon,7 from
whence he wrote the following letter to the
Brigadier Governor of arms.
& General and friend,
1 g MY mind is made up. The Ministry must
resign. A King with dignity, and Constitu.
/ ton TO conduce 10 tie public happiness and not
I civil war. Finally no faction to divide the King
from the Nation. Union, and oblivion of the
past, are the wishes of the Esd Regiment Yours
are undoubtedly tie same, and then farewell TO
! Anarchy"
The plan traced out TO bring us back 10 abso-
lutte monarchy, has found entrance into the in
experienced heart orthe Son of the best of Kings.
The infant DON MIGUEL the same morning
quilted the paernal roof, and fed to join himself
with this handful of deluded men. 1t appears
he was accompanied by some soldiers Of the 4th
Regiment of Cavalry. Nothing has as vet
transpired as to the designs Of this ill-gliled
Prince, who instead Of initiating the virtues of
lis august Father, has united himself to those
who wish to throw the Country into all the hor-
rors of a civil war, or 10 reduce us under for
eign dominion.
Government have taken the most efficient
means to stop the progress Of the disorg anizing
faction.-The troops continue true to their oaths,
and obedlent 10 their General, IN whom they
have tie utmost confidence. The Chamber OF
the City sustains tie good name which it las
merited. The Civic Guards united and under
the orders of their worthy and chosen Chiefs,
win shew what may be expected from Freemen
when firm in the support of their inalienable
rights. Finally the Cortes are in permanent
session, devising means forthe safety of the pub
lie. Portuguese what viii you do? Perhaps
submit 10 handful ofPTetoriah Guards Perhaps
submit Kindly 10 those unworthy Aristocrais,
who wish to crush you All no. You are Lus-
tanians, and that is enough Union, and we
shall not want for strength.
Endorsed on tie Supplement
The French have entered Madrid.
The Ministry Portuguese has begged leave
TO resign, having lost the confidence Of the peo-
pie.
