NEWS OF THE WEEK.
WE have dealt elsewhere with the general European situation, and noted that on the whole it is satis- factory. There are, however, signs of further unrest in Lisbon. Friday's papers, indeed, contain reports (from Madrid yid Paris) which indicate that the labourers in the Portuguese capital are putting forth demands which the Government of the Republic find it impossible to satisfy. It is further declared that the Army and Navy, through whose action the downfall of the old regime was brought about, can no longer be depended upon to support the Revolution. The Temps of Thursday evening, while giving this information, states that three cruisers have been sent away on various pretexts. It adds that the Diario do Noticias states that the Government have discovered the existence of a conspiracy for the re-establishment of King ManoeL "Several conspirators have been arrested." It is curious to note how soon revolu- tionary Governments have to fall into line with ancient Monarchies in the matter of arresting conspirators and breaking up plots.
