OPORTO, JULY 10. On the 30th ult., the Spanish army entered into this city, under the command of General D. Manuel de la Concha. The forces of the junta were, in accordance with stipulations entered into, disarmed, but the greater part of them succeeded, in the preceding night, to return to their native places, armed and equipped, to wait there the course of events. The Spanish general published a proclamation, the terms of which were approved of by all parties. It breathes conciliation and protection to all politicians; and I am glad to see that he has kept his word. As soon as the city was in possession of the Spanish army, the brave Cabralistas rushed into the place, and all the public offices were instantly occupied by them, and even employes of fourteen years' standing were turned out, because they happened to belong to the Septembrist _party. By Saldan's nomination a moat desperate Cabralista, Jose Laurence Pinto, was invested with the administrative government of the district of Oporto. Men convicted of murder and corruption are the chosen to fill the first places. The municipal body, elected by the suffrages of the people, was dismissed, and a commission named, at whose head is a son of the Conde de Serena, a well known Cabralista, who had in the Cortes of Cabral's administration four eons, all of them deputies. and all of them wretched slaves of those ministers. This was, in fact, a Cabrslista Restattration. . . .  The allied powers may sanction all these atrocities ; they may, with their armies end their fleets, enslave this people, that so aobly fought for their liberties ; but they may be enured that, as soon as they leave their protegee to herself, and to the keeping of her friends the Cabralistas, the people will again vindicate their rights, and she will repent, but per. hap too late, the support she sought in foreign bayonets. The province of Minho has already commenced the holy war. The people at Braga disarmed a force of Spanish soldiers, and a brigade was sent there in great haste. The Portuguese battalion No 1. commanded by Joaquins Benito, was sent to Guimaraes, because the armed people were maiten of that town. I understand that accounts have been received from that place, stating that the soldiers are surrounded by people, and cannot even run away. At ten o'clock last night, Infantry No. 15 started from here to Aviero. That town is in possession of the people; the Cabralista authorities, to save their lives, were obliged to run away. A person highly connected arrived lately from Lisbon, by • steamer, and states that it is asserted that the decrees for the new ministry are already signed: palmella, President; Rodrigo da Fonseca Magalhaes, Interior ; Jose Jorge Lourairo, Guerra; Jervea d Atouguia, Marinha ; Antonio Joie d'Avila, Fasenda; Coode di Disraeli°, Ratrangeiros. All of these gentlemen are well known Carlistas, and would be a ministry accepted by the national party, because it only wants a government composed of honest men. On the 7th inst. Saldanha and his victorious army (!! made his entry in Oporto. The enthusiasm was ordered beforehand by the municipality, and therefore there were not wanting Prides, the very pleasing sound of the bells, for three successive days and nighu, and illuminations; and the inhabitants that were not susceptible of enthusiasm had ell their windows brokeu!
