| The Costra Cabral ministry has at length fallen
amid the universal execration Of the Portuguese
people, and the whole country Is In state OF In,
surrection. The dissolution Of the cabinet had
been looked for for some days. The Count Wills
Real was Immediately sent for by the queen, who
con6ded to him the formation OF new ministry bu'
his efforts having proved highly unsuccessful, her ma

| The fame of instruction has rapidly extended from
the Mimic all over Trus os Monies, in which lat
ter province 5000 well-appolned men were said to
| have assembled under the directions OF lunta,
composed Of its most influential propnetOrs. IL APP
pears that young Villa Real, the son Of the count
| Of that name had put himself at the head OF Il
large body Of peasantry, and had taken possession
Of the town from which his fathers title Is derived
| that another body Of rebels had disarmed strong
| detachment Oft queens troops at Amarante, and
having made themselves masters Of the bridge over
| the Douro, had opened direct communication with
the Mimic insurgents. Viscount Vinhaes, hndlng
how matters stood and having ascertained that the
soldiery disincned TO act against the people,
entered into negotiations with the junta, the result
| Of which was an agreement to suspend hosuues
for SIX days by which time the queen will have had
| an opportunity Of considering the demands OF the
insurgents IL appears that, on intimation OF the
danger, Jose Cabra sneaked on board steamer at
Oporto in the night, and thus escaped the conse-
quences of his unpopularity. Attempts were ma
king recruit the army, but with little success. The
| troops indeed, seemed disposed TO make common
cause with the people. The whole province Of Bel
ra had risen and a body Of insurgents, from 1000
to 5000 strong had entered Coimbra. So strong
was the feeling against the Cabral brothers in oil
parts Of Portugal that they can hardly remain any
longer in that country with safety. II may seem
strange that the queen should have sent for the faith
of one of the chiefs of the insurgents to conhde
TO him the formation of a ministry but the fact il,
that the father and son OF opposite poTtes and
have no more sympathy with each other on political
matters than the Duke Of Newcastle has with the
new Irish secretary. Almeida has pronounced in
favor Of the Instruction. and the garrison has join

chief had reached Simla where they intended to re-
main during the hot and rainy seasons. The troops
had taken up their stations for the same period, in
the newly acquired districts along the Beas, and
also in Lahore. The Sikh soldiers were tranquil,
| but not satisfied. The governments Of Lahore and
Jamoo engaged in tracing out the frontiers be-
tween them. Ghoab Singh is not popular with the
Skhs, who accuse him Of having sacrificed their
country to crafty his personal ambition. Dhost
| Mahommed, who was delighted on hearing of the
invasion of the British domInions by the Skhs. has
| since resumed pacific policy; for the rapldlty of
the British conquests had not allowed him time for
any offensive operations against Peshawur, although
some preparations for that purpose appear to
have been made at Jellalsbad by his son and
| Wuzeer, the notorious Akbar Khan. 1t is evident
from the position of the different ra abs, and their
adherents, well at Lahore as at the neighboring
States that the present cessation of hosttes is
kept up rather a temporary armislce than last
ing peace. The division of the spoils of Runjeet
Snghs kingdom is not satisfactory to them, and 1t is
highly probable that before 1916 expires, there will
| be other conflicts.
In the mean time the British are not idle either
consolidating their new provinces, or in weakening
i their enemies Amongst the rnateriei of war sur
rendered by the Slkhs were especially enumerated
the guns which had been pointed against the British
| Indian army. Those guns, to the number of $50,
have reached Delhi, and they are to be- taken with
all the pomp of u military procession from that
| city, even as far as Calcutta. This procession of
nearly thousand miles will not fail to produce a
| powerful impression in India, where men Judge
| from what they see The mighty power of the Brit
ish government will therefrom be recognised by
even the Mahommedan fatalists. 1t will resemble
| one Of the triumphs of ancient Rome.
