REVOLUTION AT LISBON. Letters have been received from Lisbon to the 14th ultimo. .A revolution broke out at Lisbon on the night of the 7th, which terminated in favour of the Charter of Don Pedro. The immediate cause of' the movement was the entrance of Viscount So do. Bundeira, as minister of war, into the cabinet, formed on that evening by the Duke of Palntclln, and the measures resorted to by Viscount So to pttt down the Oporto movement in favour ofthe charter. The troops of Lisbon were commanded by chartists, and Viscount Sn, immediately on entering into office, dismissed most of the colonels of' the garrison, as well as the governor ofthe Castle of St. George, which brought on the explosion. The garrison of the castle, headed by the old governor, im- mediately declared for the charter, and the regiments quar- tered at Belem declared almost simultaneously in the same sense, and marched to the Necessidades Palace. The new ministry took all measures in their power to crush this movement. The populace and arsenal workmen were sup- plied with arms, and with all the remaining troops marched to a central position, with the apparent object of attacking the castle. But it was soon apparent that the troops ofthe government could not be depended upon to fight in the cause in which they were engaged; and on the night ofthe 8th the ministers unanimously resolved to give inrtheir re— signation, and signed a written declaration at the palace of their inability to put down the chartists. The queen then sent for the Duke of Terccirn, and a new ministry, friendly to the re-establishment of the charter, was formed. 0n the 10th, in accordance with their report, aroyal decree was issued, putting the charter again itt vigour. Three days’ re- joicings were ordered in, consequence, and the queen had been to the cathedral to give thanks for the same. The Junta of Oporto had been dissolved, and everything appear- ed quiet at Lisbon. Costa Cabral was daily expected, and the difficulty seemed to be to reconcile the various pretensions ofthe leaders of the successth side. The Cortes are con- voked under the charter for the 10th of June.’ Very satis- factory communications had been received from the Spanish government which declares it will not interfere unless at the request of the queen, when it offers every assistance in its powor.
