London, Wednesday, May 19...
W e received last nigbt the Paris papers of Sunday, containing in. telligence of the royal revolutionary attempt at Lisban, which vie mentioDed yesterday, and the repart read to the Chamber of De. puties on the validity of )I. B. CONSTANT'S election. We have given below, from the L,isbmi papers, the proclamations of Prince MrGUEL, and his letter to the Krso,, preceded by a short narra- tive of the events to the 30th of April. The following account, which relates to the subsequent events, is extracted from the loarnal des Debats:- " Nearly 2,000 troops of the garrison had assembled on the 30th of April at the Roseio. Prince iMiguel at their head. The greater part of the King's Ministers, several military officers, and other persons, were arrested by order of the Prince. During these events, the Queen arrived at Lisbon. At the detnand of the French Ambas- sador, the Corps Diplomnatique assembled at the King's Palace, which wasguarded by the troops. The Commandant refused them admittance to the K ing,unless the Prince's order to admit them was prod&e'd. .h. Hyde de Neuville declared that Europe only knew the KiNt. His firmness overawed them, and one of the Prince's Aides- de-.mnp introduced the members of the Diplomatic Body into the King's preserce. The King declared that what had passed had cc- curred neither bv his advice nor by his order, but that his son would shortly arrivr. In fact, the Infant Don Aliguel immediately pre- sernted himself, bent his knee to the earth, kissed the hand of the lZing, and declared to the alinisters and Ambassadors that a conspiracy against his life and against that of the King had been discovered, and that he had taken measures to defeat it- that if the Ambassadors had been detained for an instant at the en- trance, it was because he feared that along with thetn some malevo. lent persons might obtain access to the King, and that he had come to receive his Alajesty's ocders. The troops retired to their quarters by the order of the King. It was night before the Ambasadors left the Palace. The following day, the 1st of May, they again waited on the King, and afterwards visited Count Palmella, Mihister for Foreign Affairs, who had then been set at liberty. On this occasion the Diplomatic Body has done itself the greatest honour; aud the French Ambassador, in particular, has distinguish- ed himnself by Inyal, decided, and courageous conduct. It is not yet known bow this scene has terminated, but since it did not pro. duce, in the first iFstance, all the effect which it wFas apparently cal- culited to produce, it may be considered as having failed in its prin- cipal intended results." Our limits preclude us from entering into the merits of Al. DE 1t1ARTIGNAC'S elaboratereport on the claims of M. CONSTANT to the rights of a French citizen It is probably sufficient to state, that the com;ittee appointed to examine the question hasl decided in favour of bis admis.s;on to the Chamber, and thus oonfilmed the report of the original election commission. It is likely that the Chamber will adopt the recommendation of its pom- mittee, and that all, except Al. DUDow, the author of the motion for inquiry, will be satisfied._ 1.-0NADOON, WFEDARE.VDA4'. 1MA Y If, 182t
