Portugal
Il would seem incredible, if the fact were not es,ab-
lished by abundant and indisputabIe evidence that
statesman and soldier OF the age and station of Field
marshal the Duke of Saldanha should have started on
an expedition which has turned out the most ridiculous

OF Portugal man who has filled, and might again fill,
the highest offices of Satea general distIng uished by
his Jealous adherence to the of the Queen, and
who actually commanded the royal army against the
unta during the last civil conles-appearsa all on sudden
not only the prime mover but the sole chief of mill
tary instruction. When first il became known that Sal
danha-whose aversion 10 revolutionary measures was
Proverbal in Portugal, and whose influence with the
army supposed 10 be paramounl--had embake ed in
such undertaking for the removal of the existing ad
minsraon, II was naturally inferred that the scattered
elements OF the Sepembrst party and the other oppo-
nents OF Costa Cabra at unite under the d.
recon of such leader, and that nothing shert OF GER
nj he attn
oil such OF violence would have ndu ced him TO
take the field and risk his life traitor. But, in spite
of all such representations, the failure of Sadanha has
been immediate and total. The fate OF a military nsur-
econ is generally decided within forty eight hours from
lis commencement; and in this the rapid and bold
march OF the King OF Portugal on Sanarem evidently
struck at the heart OF the cons tracy and probably pre-
vented considerable number of persons implicated in
the project IRON declaring their intentions Neither

the other TO come to actual fighting though they were
within few miles distance from the welt known field of
operations Of The Upper Iagus The troops under Joa

A summons in the shape Of a political manifesto was
addressed by the marshal to Count Casa the general
commanding at Opoo but that officer returned decided
negative and announced his intention to hold the city for

though is hanlly conceivable that general OF his char

revolution was inevitable. But from the lang uage OF his
