PARIS, 20th December.
News of the Portuguese revolution has arrived from Spain. Communications with Lisbon have been impossible since Friday. The Portuguese Legation professes to ignore the rerwrt, but refugees entering Spain at many frontier posts make it clear that a great upheaval is in pi-ogress. A despatch from Madrid 7 states that when Senhor Cunha Leal* formed hie Cabinet on Saturday he and the other Ministers were immediately challenged by an armed mob of soldiers and civilians. Simultaneously the naval and shore artillery opened a terrific fire. The position is such that even Spain is censoring the telegrams.
