OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES IN PORTUGAL.
Dispatches were received dated Lisbon,
the 23d of May, and detail the commence
ment of the Counter Revolution in Portugal
The officers commanding the regiments in
Oporto and the neighboring districts, as
sembled in the barracks on the 18th Nav,
forming themselves into Military Council
to take into consideration the state of the
country, in consequence of the projected
usurpation of Don Miguel to the Throne.
The council, after short elaboration, drew
up declaration of fidelity to the legitimate
Sovereign, Don Pedro, and appointed Re-
gency to act in his name. The regiments
which thus declared their attachment to
Don Pedro, were five in.number; three 9TH
ers in Tras-es- Monies were ready to COOP
crate with them and the regiments in the
province of Mimic, animated with the same
loyalty, were marching to join them. The
officers followed up the declaration of
their sentiments by a spirited Proclamation,
which may be viewed as an indictment for
high treason against Don Miguel, whom it
describes as a shame to Princes and dis
grace to Portugal. The determination of
the troops of Oporto and the neighboring
districts, dlffused the utmost CONSERVATION
and dismay through the Palace. The ac-
counts came down so late as to the 18th,
when the Counter Revolution was proceed
ing most prosperousiy. A provisional Re-
gency has been established at Oporto, to
which the Portuguese Minister has sent in
his submission.
Many Noblemen have sought their safe
ty in flight, others have made their escape
to the Constitutional Army-and we antici-
pate that Miguel himself will soon be added
TO the list of fugitives. He has already sent
his most precious effects on board frigate,
and the approach of the Constitutional
troops will no doubt be his signal for run
ming away-too happy if he can escape by
flight the punishment he so richly deserves.
Such are the prospects of Don Miguel.
1t is stated in French paper that the
vessels sent to blockade Oporto, had de-
clared for Don Pedro, and that the Eng
lish Consul General, Mr.. Mathew, had APP
prised the Minister of Foreign Affairs San
tarem, that the English would not res
pect the blockade, as not being ordered in
the name of the legitimate sovereign of
Portugal. The Portuguese Ambassador
at Paris has ceased to act for the Govern
ment at Lisbon; but he is still Minister for
Don Pedro.
AFFAIRS OF GREECE. The Courier de
Smyrna of the Sd May, contains an article
seemingly Of advice to the Porte, which the
London Courier ascrbes to foreign minis
ter. 1t insists on the necessity that exists
for Turkeys recognizing the Greek revo-
luton. "The feet burnt, the Greek flag

Russians ready to attack Turkey-in the
