Che 24th) finding their oppressors gone,
with one consent hoisted the standard of
Donna Maria, and proclaimed her Majesty
IN due form, with every appearance OF en-
thuslasm. Their first step was to open the
prisons and liberate the numerous victims OF
i Miguel's tyranny. About the same time the
colors of Villa For's army appeared on the
opposite heights, and IN the afternoon he
himself crossed the Tagus, in the midst of
statutes and reloicings, and issued a procla-
nation In the name Of the Queen.
"On the 24th, when the letters were de-
Ispatched, Lisbon was perfectly tranquil a.

must naturally have attended such crisis,
and the wrongs to which so many of the in

State Road from Galena to Chicago.-
This road has been laid out pursuant to
an act of the Illinois Legislature, and
wants nothing but few bridges to rem
Fder it fit for travelling in carriages or
otherwise. The route is an important
one, and will ultimately be the connect
ing channel between this Upper Missis
sppl country aud the eastern cities and
States. Emigrants are already finding
their way by this route to this country by
hundreds; and no sooner will the resonr-
ces of this region be known in the Allan
tic states, than it will be flooded with a
dense population Of the industrious inha-
bitants of New England and of the other
states beyond the mountains. Gal.
