17 SEPTEMBER 1836, Page 8

We have received private assurances from a well-informed quarter, that

the Queen of Portugal was always favourably disposed towards the Constitution, and that at no time since her accession would it have required force to cause her to accept it. On the contrary, she has fre- quently expressed surprise that the people did not call for it, and as often stated that she would be delighted to comply with their wishes. With the Constitution given by her Imperial father to the Brazilians in 1823, she is well acquainted. The change of Ministry, by which the proclamation of the Constitution of 1820 was accompanied, is ail event of minor importance. Count Lumiares is mentioned as the new Pre- sident of the Council ; but nothing positive is yet known respecting the reconstruction of the Cabinet.—Sun.
