29 JULY 1837, Page 1
Accounts from Lisbon, to the 19th, were received yesterday. They
mention a military insurrection in several of the smaller towns in the vicinity of Oporto. The charter of Don PEDRO had been proclaimed by the insurgents. A body of troops were im- mediately despatched to Oporto; many suspected individuals had been arrested in Lisbon; and the Ministers had obtained ex- traordinary powers from the Cortes. The affair bore a very serious aspect; but the Government displayed considerable vigour, and much confidence was reposed in it. Lisbon, it is said, looked like an uninhabited city. One of the parties arrested was a British Captain RUXTON, of the Portuguese Navy ; but he was soon liberated.
