By the packet-ship which has just arrived from Lisbon, we
learn that Don PEDRO, or rather his Ministers, have come to an almost open quarrel with the Dukes of PALMCLLA and TERCEIRA and Admiral NAPIER. The latter has given vent to his indignation in no measured terms ; declaring that if he did not value " the cause" at a higher rate than his own interest and personal feelings, he would throw up his ap- pointment and return to England. Don PEDRO, sensible of the im- possibility of going on without some modifications of the Ministry,
has written to Rio de.Janeiro to invite'the Conde DE LINHA.RES, the brother of the Marquis of FUNCHAL, to come over and head the Cabinet. The Conde DE:LINHARES is a nobleman of great influence in Portugal, and of immense wealth ; 'but he is also a stanch Liberal.
Several boats laden with -refugees from St. 'Ubes had arrived in -Lis- bon. These persons had taken alarm at the horrors perpetrated by the Miguelites at Alcacer de Sal ; and in . expectation of their advance to St. Ubes, had fled with preeipitation. It appears that at Aleacer women and children were inhumanly massacred in thestreets. The report still prevailed that Admiral PARKER had been recalled. It excited quite a rejoicing in :Lisbon, as the Admiral Lad been a great partisan of the..Miguelites, and given shelter to the refugees of that party. At the date of these accounts, a idesembariador, who has been an active agent of Don MIGUEL since his flightfrom 'Lisbon, was still on board the Admiral's ship. The celebrated Viscountess of ..Tuniatetena was on the point of leaving Lisbon for France, with herfamily. M. DE LEatos, her soil, who had' been imprisoned on a charge of treason, was to accompany her ; -Don Penne, having granted his pardon, at the intercession of Lord Wretram RUSSELL.
