In a second edition, the Morning Chronicle publishes the following

intelli- gence, despatched from Lisbon on the 8th instant- " The troops had marched from Lisbon to attack the Conde das Antes, whose, head-quarters were at Lelia. The army that marched was close on 4,000 men. The King did not accompany it. " Saldanha was created Duke and the Queen's Viceroy in the Northern pro- vinces.

"Santarem was evacuated by the Queen's troops, and immediately occupied by the disaffected.

" The suspension of the guarantees was continued for another month. All peasants caught in arms are to be shot. "A letter published in the Diario says that there are 200,000 stand of arms among the people—every man is armed. The resistance will be obstinate. A large array of titled persons have joined and lead the people. Juntas were formed in almost every town of the kingdom. " Evora was to be bombarded [by the Royalist General Schwalback, Viscount of Setubal] on the 7th instant. "Letters from other sources represent the Queen's cause as at the last ex- tremity; and mention that the Government troops had been repulsed on several occasions, and that the whole of the kingdom was in arms in support of the cause beaded by Das Antes."

The Times has intelligence to the 7th instant, but fuller in some par- ticulars. We extract several points; subjecting the text, however, to com- pression.

The defeat of the Anti-Royalist leader, General Celestine, at Viana, had caused the greatest sensation in that part of the kingdom; and the countrypeople de- dined to take any part in the contest. Oporto was in a sad state; business paralyzed, a blockade at the mouth of the Douro, and anarchy on shore. A leading British merchant resident, Mr. Noble, had been assaulted by the patulea, or mob, after visiting the Duke de Terceira in the Castle of Fos: he received a sword-cut on the head. The Tuscan and Turkish Consuls had been subjected by the mob to illegal domiciliary visitations; and the cants for an armed inter ventIon of the protecting Powers was thought to have arrived.

Despatches had arrived in Lisbon from Madrid, offering military aid; and a large body of Spanish troops was marching to the frontier. It was reported that the Portuguese Government had contracted a loan for 500,0001. in France.
