THE King of the FRENCII, we learn from private letters, has lost his usual coolness, consistency, and self-possession. The events of Cracow following those of Madrid, the startling fact that the three Eastern courts were and are leagued and lying in wait to take advantage of any slip on his part, the marked cold ness of .tustria, the prospective " war of succession" which Lord PALMERSTON . holds over his head, and the more imminent war of provocation which even the most pacific of his friends and subjects seem deter mined to enter upon the moment after the royal demise,—all these circumstances have thrown the mind of the Kiug of the FRENCH into an intermittent fever. His Majesty rises in the morning determined to regain at all price the English alliance, in which for the moment he beholds the sole guarantee of peace, and of his dynasty's surety. He passes the morn in calculations, how the fragments of this wrecked alliance can be picked up and put together. Ile foams at the rancour of PALMERSTON, and weeps over the evanescent friendship of Queen VICTORIA, who cannot forgive that innocent pastime of the rape of the Infanta. He summons DE BROGLIE ; he communes with MOLE; he even sends messages to Tingles. But not one of these saints of the political calendar can help him. He then con sults the English themselves, wheedles NOR HANBY, pokes the hon. member for Coventry, who gruffly refuses to get up a French party . for his Majesty in London, and, as a last resource, he fees BROUGHAM. The roval mind being piqued at the utter inutility' and hopelessness of all meditations and efforts,the noon brings on the cold fit towards England. He cannot win; therefore he must hate. He cannot cajole; therefore he must calumniate. And not even the editor of La Prease could pour forth more bitter vituperation of Jons BULL, or indulge more dread and lengthy de monstrations of his ingratitude, villany, and utter worthlessnem, than the King et the FRENCH, when his Anglophobic fit is on. The general ides, which people entertain of LOUIS PHILIPPE THE FIRST, is, that he is a cold, deep, calculating, calm, dissembling politician. This is quite a mistake. Never was statesman less calm, more restless, more self-betraying. Never was the old BOURBON characteristic of treating national alliances and peace and war, and the fate of nations, as questions of personal and royal caprice, more fully developed than at the present day in their great representative. People talk of the leg/Teti, the unce rt ainty, of Tnieus. Never did states man betray each legerete, such sudden tarns and caprices, and even precipitate acts founded on those 1 1 caprices, as LOUIS PHILIPPE and M. GCIZOT have done during the last three months. The virtues of gravity sad consistency, for they are political virtues, seem really to have been lost in France. Some years since, when unpleasant differences arose between England and France, the people of the latter country lest their wits, whilst the govern ment and the court maintained prudence and self possession. The very contrary seems the case now ; the French people d is play prudence and self-pos session, whilst the court and government seem ready to run mad : the only preventative is, that they know not in what direction to run. From all we hear, some act of precipitate folly on the part of the French government is much to be feared. We have described the court hobby-horse of the morning to be the English alliance; that'of the even ing is the Russian alliance. The CZAR is then the pet and hero of meditation. He has swallowed Poland, to be sure; but in this he bat frankly and boldly pursues his metier of despot, which is to conquer and to absorb. Instead of idly fretting against him, why not imitate him ?—why not join in the spoil ? If Austria take Cracow, and Russia Bucharest, why not France take Mayence and Cham ber',? These would be great, gloriousi and popular acts, which, done with Russian connivance, might be accomplished without war. It would be jumping with the national whim; and by thus gratifying the spirit of the French nation in a bold fo re i gn policy, it would secure a parliamentary majority more broad and more generous than existing ones. The present majority in the French Chamber keeps a court ministry in existence by its votes ; but it gives little more than existence. It grudgingly refuses apanages, dowries, credits, and actually forces the monarch to look to the civil list and , . natio! natio! / I more great . , the man capri capri done 1 gray 1 1 1 seen Sc aros the 1 men , Pam i 1 11 the .

Such are-the evening dreams and visions of the Tuileries. . But dresming.apart, the reality of the ease is, that neither one alliance nor the other is for the present within reach of the court of France. The moat pro found mistrut is entertai ned towards Louis PHILIPPE at this present mome nt in ever y court of Europe. There is not one that w ould trust him, not one to may, " GOD bless him r not one that durst enter into an offensive alliance with him. That league between "France and Russia which is dreamed of, is one for the occupation of the Rhine and of Savoy by the one, of Consttinople by the other. These are not the tasks of a dd y. They would require years to prepare, to mature, to conceal, and could only be attempted by a perfect, intimate understanding. between the two courts, not for one season, or during one tit of spleen, but during years. How could the Czaa, having observed Louis PHI LIPPE'S conduct and fidelity to the alliance with England, trust the fortunes of his house and empire in an alliance with such a prince ? An alliance with the French court should resemble a league in the middle ages, into which all enter full y armed, nume rously attended, and all mistrustful of each other. Regular precautions were then taken against the da gg er and the poison bowl. And even these did not an pre vent treachery. In our modern days monarchs c take no such precaution. They must rely on the honour, and sincerity, and durability of the govern ment with which they league, and if they cannot do this, they must abstain from alliance. All the vaponrings, therefore, of the Presse abo r ut the Russian alliance, all the pettish and visionay menaces of the same consummation indulged in by the monarch himself, are idle. Before the French court and government can effect, before they need think of any alliance whatever, whether with Eng land or with Russia, they must first recover what they have lost—a character for honesty. For it is flagrant want of honesty, which at this moment places them in such a situat ion, that other powers have nothing to hope or fear from thorn. France is too isolated to threaten or to make war with effect, and too deservedly min trusted for any alliance w h a tever to be possible. All that remains, therefore, for the country, or rather for its government, misrepresented as the country has been by its government, is to lie by for some time in that isolation, that locus penitenlie, to which its own acts have exiled it, and there recover something like a character that may be trusted. Until that shall come to pass, it is dually preposterous and idle for a French Minister either to menace war, or to proffer alliance, to any of the powers of Europe. SUFFICIENT experience has been had of the working of English politics to establish, almost as an axiom thereof, the certainty thatany class which takes counsel apart from the rest of the community, and affects exclu sive interests, will infallibly be beaten down, and have its claim disallowed. The landlords, with all their power and prestige, have paid this penalty, and those who pinned faith to them have evidently gone all astray in their calculations. We see no way for the agriculturists to extricate themselves from the slough into which they have fallen, save for them to blend more with other classes, and the high and low of them to divest themselves of that uniform or that livery, which have acted as such unfavourable distinctions. Let landlords consider themselves capitalists, which they really are; and tenant-farmers mere traders, which they indubitably are; and join the rest of the community, instead of congregating in holes and cor ners to complain of the world, and the times, and the legislature ; to flatter each other, and to slur over the real grievances and defects, which prevent them keeping pace with their countrymen in progress and in prosperity. It is a fact too manifest to be denied that the great mass of the agricultural population has, for these years past, been totally unrepresented, either in par liament or before the public. It has chanced, or been compelled, to follow leaders utterly incapable, from want of wisdom, disinterestedness, or talent to afford support, mete justice, or even fairly speak th e truth. So much so, that ne ver has a body of men been so hustled, bamboozled, betrayed, and driven to all points of the compass save that to which they imagined they were tending, as the agriculturists of England. So great has been the folly, the inconsistency, the incapacity, of that party and its leaders, that no question can be brought forward avowedly agricul tural, that does not at once meet with disfavour and distrust, because of the utter lack of wisdom and statesmanlike qualities in the men who represent that body. A more complete example cannot be offered than by the utter failure to get up anything like an agitation in favour of the repeal of the malt tax, at a time when tea can at once excite this agi tation, and in a few weeks command the attention of the public, the cabinet, and the legislature. The very way in which the thing is set about, marks out its event and fate. Meetings are called, at which farmers care not to attend, and to which only such spokesmen crowd as want to get up a little " political capital" for the elections. Even they are not able to affect the due degree of sincerity and zeal required to dupe their hearers. They perfectly well know how utterly hopeless and impossible is the repeal of the malt tax, especially in the way in which they set about it, and which has in their eyes that invaluable quality for agitation, viz. impracticability. It is in this respect almost on a par with agitation in the sister kingdom. Mr. O'CONNELL demands 30,000,0001. of the state to prepare the soil, and sow the seed for the next year's crop of Ireland : the country party is about to consolidate all its weakness for an attempt to repeal the malt tax, It is really difficult to say whether the learned gentleman who agitates Ireland is, or the bucolic gentlemen who wish to protect England are, the more unreasonable. Probably, however, the latter : for it is scarcely possible to conceive so astute a person as Mr. O'CONNELL serious in a demand so outrageous: it is merely one of those thousands of propositions which he ventilates, apparently that the winds may dissipate them—another flight of exagge ration, in which he expects no one to follow him. While about the country party there is a stolidity of I I earnestness, a stupidity of seriousness, a recklessness of practicability, which forbids the ascription of its suggestions to any mere indulgence of the fancy. They mean to unite in support of a re peal of the malt tax—so Moir organs tell us—so their minor organisations broadly state. There seems, however, to have been some hesitation ere agreement and concord on the point were reached. The more business-like of the party—the men in all probability who had, as ministers, shared in the responsibility of keeping revenue and expenditure on a level, would appear to have had some difficulty in seemingly consenting to such a scheme of tactics for the ensuing campaign. But at last they h-tve yielded to the denser force that propels them downwards—the STAN LETS, the EGLI NTONS, the DISRAELIS have given way before the BUCK INGIIAIifI, the MILEsEs, and ithe BAN EBF-S, who are to reign supreme in the councils of the country party. That the malt tax will not be repealed, even should the country party defeat or overthrow the government on the question, is felt instinctively by all rational men ; and e n ee supports this common - sense feeling. ThelOtsell of Commons, once within the last twelve years, hastily passed a resolution condem natory of it, on the motion of its present opponents ; lad immediately afterwards revoked and rescinded the resolution. And the leaders of the country party must know that what was then done will be again repeated, if need be. What, then, is the meaning of this announced attempt ? There can be little doubt that it has a d design. Firstly, the squires and • the far mebre to be comforted for the withdrawal of pro tection from the foremost place in country party tac tics. That withdrawal, unaccompanied by any great line of impolicy, might exhibit the hollowness and worthlessness of the combination a little too clearly. So, under the guise of doing something, the repeal of the malt tax has to be substituted; and with this Xatipols and Tape r cr y , the agricultural interest has to be amused. Bat there is, in the announcement, 'raft , and a deeper object. Though there may be se anions intention on the part of the chiefs of the protectionists to repeal the malt tax,they will be very serious in their endeavour to overthrow the present government by a pretended anxiety to repeal that tax ; and, in point of fact, they intend, if possble, to upset the ca bi net, and seise on place on this very question. Their intentions and expectations may be absurd; but they exist. Lord STANLEY has OEM more intimated his willingness to assume office and THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENINth *DECEMBER 14, form • Protectionist Govervetent, if the wporianiti arise and the creation of the Oppeetanity is what vs principally sawed by the clisOrbanee of tbis•ci don. Lord Eourreow has, during the Tee*, bawl organising_ the Scotch Protectionists ; and Load Geonos BENTINCR has not been idle in England. Money to meet the general election, that cannot be far distant, has been subscribed or promised ; and a vigorous assault on the Whig g overnment has been d e termined on. So, at least, we a re assured on com petent authority; and it is added that not a few of the 112 who last session adhered to Sir ROBERT PEEL, will next session give their general support to Lord GEORGE BENTtNCK. And this, we believe, is what the contemplated at tack on the malt tax rea lly means. THE French government has formed a more modest estimate of the extent and value of its inter ference with railway management, than the panegy rists of that interference on this side of the water. In the ministerial report tin he King, prefixed to the regulations promulgated last November, all pre vious regulations are spoken of as merely provisional and experimental. Even this statement, however, claims too much credit for them ; had illusory been added to the two characteristics above cited, the description would have been nearer the truth. It is quite tree that their acts of concession bind all French railways to conform to such general regulations as shall be issued by the government. It is also true that this p ower of regulation is reserved to government by the laws of June, 1842, and July, 1843 ; but it is equally true that the only regulations issued previous to the 15th of last November were simple ordonnances signed by the Minister of Public Works, and left to be enforced by the Prefect of Police. The legality of these ordonnances was contested in more than one instance, and the tribunals decided (and the Court of Cassation confirmed their decisions), that seeing the ordonnances had not been promulgated as adminis trative regulations in conformity with the acts of conceesion, they could not be deemed obligatory. Indeed but for these decisions it is not easy to conceive how the railways of France could have been worked at al y l. The provisional ordonna nces were framed upon a sstem which had been found to answer on the St. Germain railway. Only imagine an attempt to sub ject our great lines of railway to the same special rules which had been found useful or innoxious on the Blackwell li n e; to enforce the same arrangements on those lines which are almost exclusively devoted to passenger traffic, and on those which derive the greater part of their receipts from goods tra ffi c. The French government, however, is of opinion that the time of provisional regulations has passed ; that the French railway system is sufficiently de veloped, the experience government has acquired of its detailed workings sufficiently matured to warrant the promulgation of permanent general regulations. The examination we have been able to make of these regulations does not incline us to concur in this view. They appear to us to be more theoretical than practical, to contain much that is nugatory, and much that is positively obstructive. For example : it is laid down as a general rule that no train is to be drawn by more than one locomotive. To this regulation, however, several exceptions are allowed. An assistant engine may be used to sur mount an incline too sharp for the powers of one : or two engines may be employed when an unexpectedly great number of passengers ren ders an unusual number of carriages necessary in one train; or when a train has been accidentally de layed beyond its time; or when a strong wind, or the effects of rain or frost on the rails, prevent a train from getting along at its average speed. The exceptional cases are so numerous, and so vaguely described, that a railway company, so minded, might with perfect safety attach two engines to all its trains, notwithstanding the positive prohibition of such a practice. Again, the regulations ordain that care shall be taken to prevent the falling of cinders from the engine, or the escape of sparks or flames from the funnels. To these directions is added a frank confession that no means of carrying them into effect have yet been in vented. It is added, therefore, that the engineers are only . expected to do their best to prevent the falling of cinders and escape of flames or sparks. Can there be more solemn trifling than to promulgate a law which the legislature confesses in the law itself can neither be complied with nor enforced.? If these and similar regulations were mere nullities, it would be loss of time to comment upon them. But with a view to enable the government police to enforce these illusory precepts, registers of the most minute description are to be kept by the company, and every doubtful point is to be referred to the Minister of l'ublic Works. Now, as there is really no test by which it can be decided whether or not an engineer has done his best to prevent the escape of sparks from the funnel, or whether a certain amount of hoar-frost warrants a detention of five minutes, every question between the managing body of a rail way and the government police may be carried by appeal to the Bureau of Public Works. And every one knows the difficulty of obtaining final decisions from government offices. It is desirable that this, the real position of govern ment railway management, in France, should be known. It has become a cuckoo-cry that French railways are better managed than English, and better managed because they are subject to government con trol. We are not inclined to admit that they are better managed ; but conceding this point for the sake of eminent, we deny that the better management has been the consequence of government interference. Hitherto that interference has been merely nominal, and the recently promulgated code which we have just been describing seems designed for no other end than to expose the managing bodies of railway com panies to vexatious litigation. The leading journals of Paris of Friday and the preceding days devote a considerable portion of their columns to the agitation, which is steadily progressing . in France, on free -trade. The organs of the various partizans on the one side and on the other are taking up their respective positions pre paratory to the approaching contest, and it is a cir cumstance favourable to the development of truth, that the discussion seems likely to be free from the bias of political parties. Thus, of the journals under stood to express the opinions of government, some fa vour,while others oppose the proposed reforms, and the same diversities of views are observable among the organs of the opposition. In the discussions which are in progress, reference is constantly made to the contest which preceded and led to the great commercial reform in Great Britain ; but the cases are in most respects different, and in many opposite. Ia Great Britain the agitation originated not in a general desire for free trade, but in the resistance of the manufacturing in dustry against the oppressive operation of the mono poly of the corn market given to the landed interest by . the import duties on gram. In France, this does not exist, at least not to any extent to injuriously felt. The amount of grain produced in France in ordinary seasons is very nearly equal to the consumption of its population. A supplement of only a third per cent. on the gross production of the country obtained from abroad is suffieient, save in excep tional seasons like the present, to satisfy the wants of the population, and in the exceptional sea -1 sons every necessary facility to obtain the additional • supply necessary from abroad is obtained. The agita tion for commercial reform has not, therefore, as in England, arisen with the manufacturing industry ; does not affect the producers of corn, and is not op posed by the landed interest. The opposition, on the contrary, to all improvements of the tariff, pro eeeds, in France, from the very classes which, n England, originated the Corn-law League, and ulti mately triumphed through the instrumentality of Sir R. Peet In England, the agitation began with the cry for " cheap food," which waa sure to bring with it wide-spread and irresistible popular excitement, and it ended in the establishment of general commercial freedom. The abolition of the corn-laws was the aim of the agitation and general commercial reform was its result In France the agitation has began where in England it ended. The question there is not the removal of restrictions on food, but the relaxa tion or total repeal of those numerous fiscal restrictions which impede the operation and check the growth of those manufacturing industries which some of them were designed to protect and foster. The agitation, therefore, in France is not as popular as it mu; in England, but what it loses in the number of its partisans, it gains in their rank and intelligence. In England the agitation com menced below and ascended gradually and with difficulty to the higher strata of the popula- 846. it has commenced at the top, and AlOond to the lower elements of the lglaitd it found adviwates in the Menu industry t in France, it will find in them, for the most part oppnents. In England, the great echani o f Cal industry—Manchester, Olsagow, Lhives eeds, m Binningtiam. & c ., were the foci of the agitation. In France, Lyons, V a lenciennes, Mud hausen, &c., will be the foci of the resistance. In England, the Conservative party and the heads of the aru,tocracy were counted among the most determined enemies of the reform. In France, they are among the notabilities of the League. Although, as we have stated, there is a gratifying absence of the spirit of political party in the position assumed by the Journalism of France on this question, yet it may be remarked that the two leading jour nals of the government and the opposition take different sides, each, however, with a tone of much moderation. The Journal des Debuts French tarcommenced on Friday an hist orical retrospect of the iffs, from that of 1664 to the present day, demonstntting how little any principal of political science had to do either with the original estalalishment of the tariff or its various successive changes. The Diglwas pro poses to carry on, in a series of articles, this ac alysis, thus popula r i s ing a difficult and dry subject, and placing at the door of every news paper reader in France—that ,is to say of every individual capable of reading at all the informa tion most necessary to enable him to form an opinion on the question. This journal is evidently preparing the public for an extensive reform of those regulations which affect the foreign trade of France. The ronstitutionnel on the other hand, the avowed organ of that section of the chamber led by M. Thiers, devoted its leading c olumns on Thursday to the sa This journal professes a desire to allow a fair field and no favour to the contending parties; to listen dispassionately and impartially . to what eac has to advance ; but maintains that the question should not be decided by the abstract principles of political science, of which it seems to make rather cheap in this particular instance, stig matising them by the disprusginF appellation of theories, and contends that the question is in France a practical question, and ought to be decided by prac tical tests. It maintains that as yet the discussions wear , an aspect unfavourable for reform, inasmuch as its leading advocates, however eminent, are persons unconnected with the industrial arts ; while its oppo nents, on the other hand , are a ll p ractical men. '1 hus, according to the views of the Cunstitutionnel, if the contending part ies be polled, there will not only to a large numerical majority against the so called reform, but that majority will consist of indi viduals, all of whom have practical interests in the question. A cabinet council was held at the Tuileries on Thursday, at which the King presided. The Bey of Tunis continues to visit, with his suite, the public establishments of Paris ; he has succes sively inspected the Museum of Artillery and the Polytechnic School. A heavy fall of snow took place in Paris on Friday morning. tign. ion• F The Madrid journals and correspondence of the Bth were received in Paris on Friday. The elections were proceeding with much animation, but rumours of dissentious in the Cabinet, and of the impossi bility of the Isturitz ministry holding its position were generally circulated and credited. El Clamor Public° of the Bth, announced that all the ministers had again tendered their resignations, which had been accepted. M. Mon, it was said, aspired to the office of President of the Council before the openin", of the Cortes, and that MM. Is turitz, Cane j a, and Sanz, had resolved not to resign without their colleagues. It is said that the Queen had manifested a wish that M. Arnero should quit the Ministry of Marine. Amer°, it is known, was the Minister of Marine who insulted and persecuted Don Enrique. The Eco del C'omercio of the same date confirms this report, but adds that M. Mon seeks the support of the Puritans. El Tiempo repeats the same rumours, and adds that if the Cabinet is provisionally main tained, it is only because the Queen has been advised that a change of the Ministry on the eve of the elec tions would be inopportune. The Infant Don Enrique had arrived, and it was insinuated that he has been instrumental in urging the dismissal of the present Cabinet. The Duke of I'almella and General Prim had reached Cadiz. The Madrid Galvtte of the 4th gives an account of the reception of Costa Cabral by the Queen. The following address presented by him is given : Madam, I have the honour to present to your Majesty this letter, by which her very faithful Majesty the Queen of Portugal accredits me as her Envoy Extraordinary h and Mi nister Plenipotentiary at your M a j est y 's court. I ave, in consequence, to assure your Majesty, on the part of my sovereign, of the lively desire that she feels to draw closer and closer the bonds of friendship which so happily exist between the two crowns, in order that the reciprocal inte rests of their subjects may profit by it. It is equally agree able to me to be able to express to your Majesty the sincere wishes of her very faithful Majesty for the prosperity of your Majesty and all your royal family, and her anxiety to be agreeable to your Majesty in all things. As for myself, Madam, I have already been honoured and distinguished by your Majesty, and finding myself in the centre of this nation whose destinies have been confided to your Majesty by Pro vidence, and which so generously gave me an asylum and protection when I was unfortunate and persecuted, your Ma je.ty can appreciate the honour and satisfaction that I feel in thinking that I shall be able to exert myself in the most efficacious manner to respond by the scrupulous discharge of my duties to the high confidence with which my Sovereign has honoured me, and to merit, in conformity with her de• sire, the kind favour of your Majesty. The Queen replied : " I receive and accept with much pleasure the letter by which you are accredited to me as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of my very dear sister and cousin the Queen of Portugal. The bonds which have always united the two nations now acquire a new pledge of dura tion. as the task of strengthening them is confided to a person who so long merited the canfidence of his sovereign, and who has since had an opportunity of appreciating what con sideration Spain feels for misfortune. I request you to convey to your Queen the assurance of my more and more ardent wishes for her happiness, and that of her Royal family, and of the prayers which I address to Heaven for the peace and prosperity of the nation which Providence has confided to her." PORTUGAL The Peninsular Company's steamer Madrid, Capt. Bingham (Lieut. Inglis, Admiralty agent, in charge of the mails), arrived at Southampton on Saturday afternoon, with accounts from Gibraltar to the 30th ult., Cadiz Ist December, Lisbon Sth, Oporto Gth, and Vigo 7th. The following is a list of the passengers by this arrival : Capt. Hood, 54th Regiment; Capt. Id' Kenzie, 72nd; Major Miles, 8.N.1.; Mr. Frolick, Count Ribeiro, and ser vant ; Mr. Cocktails', Mr. Novolio, Mr. Pogliotte, Mr. Fortado, Mr. Pinto, Mr.ovets, Mr. Harris and wife, Mr. Masurto, Mr. Fern a ndez , Mr. r Gamble, and lour deck pas senger. Nothing of importance had occurred in the neigh bourhood of Lisbon since the departure of the -clops. It was reported there that Baron Casal and Viscount Vinhaes were marching on Coimbra, and some battalions from the Duke de Saldanlaa's army had left Cartazo to join them. Another account stated that the late wet weather had, for the present, stopped the movementsof Saldanha and Des Autas,and that the detachment sent against Coimbra had made no impression. At Oporto all was quiet in the town. The junta were preparing to resist any attack that might be made in the neighbourhood. They mustered about 7,000 men, including the National Guard, for the defence of the town. The fortifications are said to be in a better state than when it held out so suc cessfully against Don Miguel. Des Antas, by his last despatch, says that he is only waiting the arrival of a reinforcement of cavalry (which will make him equal in that department to the royal army), to strike a decisive blow on the capital. He also states that Bowfin had lately joined with his column of excellent troops. The province of Alemtejo is nearly deserted of the Queen's troops, with the exception ef the fortress of Elves, where a small force still remains. From Vigo we leara that about 270 or 300 men from the crews of the Portuguese squadron, and a few I refugees, landed here on the Ist Dec., with permission from the provincial government, assisted with money and arms, and the compliment military escort, and I marched and took possession of Valenza, it having been given up by an understanding before-hand. Reijes, a Portuguese nobleman, was at the head, ao companied by, the Portuguese consul, both stanch Queenites. A report arrived on the edening of the 3th by post from Oporto, of course, not to be credited, that the whole of Des Antae's army had deserted him. —We subjoin a letter from our correspondent : mod D o c. 4-8 A.m.

There is no intelligence from Santarem of more Antes'ate than the 28th ult. The force that Das had detached to Coimbra, consisting of 600 regulars and 150 students, was said to have been interrupted on its march by the refusal of the regulars to proceed to Coimbra, or to return to Santarem. Whether this is true or not, is as yet unascertained ; neither is it known whether a brigade which Sal danha intended to despatch in pursuit of this force had marched. The probability is, that owing to the recent and still continued rains, neither party has moved out of their entrenchments. The Scourge, war steamer, arrived at Lisbon on the Ist of December, bringing ten refugees (Portu guese officers) from Oporto, they having been on I board the brig-of-war Nautilus, which transferred them to the steamer. It is known that the letter addressed by the Duke of Palmella to the Junta of Oporto was conveyed thither by the Cyclops, which left this place on Tues day the Ist inst., carrying the mail bags, which the Madrid packet could not have on account of the state of the sea when sho touched off the bar. AMERICA AND MEXICO. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. The Great Western, Captain Matthews, arrived at Liverpool on Saturday night, a little before eleven o'clock, after a voyage of sixteen days, having left New York on the evening of the 26th ult. She brought thirty passengers and heavy cargo of pro. visions. The news received by this arrival is not verviln• portant. The war with Mexico languishes, slid the intelligence brought by the West India mail respect ing the indisposition of the Mexicans to assent to peace is confirmed by these accounts. The move ments of Santa Anna, however, were mere matters of conjecture, and the American papers seemed to be es imperfectly informed respecting the mode in which the American government purposed to conduct the war. According to one report, greater energy was to be resorted to, the seaboard towns were to be captured and garrisoned, the army was no longer to pay for the pros isions they wanted, and the Mexicans were to be compelled to pay for the war and feel its oppression. General Taylor was still at Monterey : his official despatches were published, and, according to the authentic account, the killed and wounded at the lds battle were 490. The loss of the Mellow.* was much greater than they admitted. The next movement,it seems, is to be on Tampico, for, according the .Ntio York Herald of the 26th ult., General beott was ' about to proceed to take the command of the army. That paper says : Major General W. Scott , with h is staff, arrived in this city at a late hour last night. It is said that the General has ob tained permission to proceed to Mexico and take command of the army that is to attack Tampico. We under-tand that the General is to take command of the 7.000 fresh troops just ordered into the field. With them he is to invest Tam pico, and then join General Taylor at San Luis Potosi, at which point he will probably assume the command in chief of all the forces in that portion of Mexico. Seniority of rank will give him the command. According to another account, Tampico was about to be abandoned by the Mexicans, Santa Anna con centrating his forces at San Luis Potosi. The second failure of Commodore Connor against Alvarado has been partially compensated by His capture of Tabasco by Commodore Perrv. llie I own account of the affair will be found below. The squadron consisted of the Mississippi, Commo dore Perry ; the Vixen, Commodore Sands; Bonita, Lieut. Com. Benham ; Reefer, Lieut. Sterrett; `Somas, Lieut. Hazard; the revenue steamer McLane, OWL Howard; the revenue cutter Forward, Capt. Non (all small craft), two hundred seamen and marines from the Raritan and th- , Cumberland, under the command of Capt. Forrest, Lieuts. Cost, Winslow, Walsh, Hunt, Capt. Edson and Lieut. Adams, d marines. They left Anton Lizardo Oct. 16, and sr rived at Frontera the 23d, and captured two steamers, and several small schooners; on the 24th and 2.5 M they ascended the river seventy-two miles to Tabasco, towed by the Petrel and the Vixen. 'fhey the Devil's Turn at 2 p.m. , lan ded and apikrfeet, 94 pounders. They arrived off Ta basco at 6 r.ll, so anchored in line ahead, distant 150 yards from the shore. The city was summoned to surrender. The Goth' nor refused, when three shots were fired from the Vixen, over the buildings. On the' ith, the squadron was fired on, and the ships re t urn ed the lire, sparing the hospitals and the consular houses, as indicated by their flags. In three-quarters of an hour the city was almost destroyed, and, of course, the loss of life wee considerable, although the commodore seemed to have shown every disposition to avoid the shedding d blood. The prizes were two steamers, four schooners, and two brigs. There were burnt on e sloop,aschooner• a brig, and a towboat. A Mexican sloop wee gi ven up to the captain, in consequence of his good conduct while his yawl was attacked after capture. l us t e Americans had a lieutenant and a sea man killed, tw seamen drowned, and two wounded. Not the least singular thing in Commodore OW nor's despatches is the fact that several American vessels have been captured in the act of supplying the Mexicans with provisions and stores. The following statement we suspect is an idle rumour : l " l a n , f to or o m k a o t u io t n thre has e b i e j e u n ndd received n et New Orleans t t : yaw British steamer Tay, an her last trip from Vera Crux to Ilse rslisation papers conferring the privileges of Moira" citizens upon all who would sail under them.

Letters from Havanna were also receiv.au, announcing the arrival of the letters of marque.

The Tagus (Oriental steamer) leaves Belem this evening, and enables me to send a few lines, merely for the purpose of stating . that nothing has transpired from Cartes° or Oporto since my last of the 4th inst. per Madrid. The Miguelite insurrection in the north, though calculated to excite uneasiness in the minds of the Queen's Government, is not connected with the popu lar movement directed by Des Antes and his col leagues. The forces under Macdonald were extremely well received at Braga and Guimaraens, and it is universally admitted that they are extremely well conducted, paying for all they require, in the way of provisions, 8.. - c.; they are well supplied with funds. The principal part of them are armed with fusils, of which 8,000 stand' were issued at Oporto during the first ebullition, and a great num ber of which fell into the hands of the peasants, who are now using them in favour of the third competitor lin the field, if the name of Miguel can be cited in this manner, which I doubt. It is General Gomez (the I former Carlist officer, who distinguished himself in 1836.8) who commands one of these bodies, and not Garter, as I recently stated. Nothing further has been heard in Lisbon respecting the threatened movement of Baron Cazal upon Oporto. It is surmised that he still hovers about Chaves and the frontier of Spain ; and if the guerillas commanded by the Miguelite officers already named are between him and the Douro (which is probable), it is not to be expected that the baron will face the difficulties of a forced march through a hostile country. The intel iligence which you will have received from Oporto by the Cyclops may, however, have thrown some light upon these matters. A letter was received from Des Antas this morn ing, dated the 2nd December, in which the count, referring to the presence of Colonel Leila and his ftlytng column at Leiria, observes that it entirely I accords with his views to separate the division of Saldanha's army as widely as possible, for during the recent (and expectant)heavy rams, it is impossible for them to undertake any serious operations, and their absence from Cortex° weakens the main force there. I understand that Count Tojal repaired to Lisbon with the express intention of taking office under the actual government, and that he did so at the united instigation of Saldanha and Sousa; on his arrival, homer, he found affairs in so desperate a condition, Naar as public confidence and ministerial activity were concerned, that he declined accepting the respon sibilities which would devolve upon the successor of the Finance Minister who invented and promulgated the two recent decrees respecting the Bank of Lisbon notes and the Bank of Portugal. The account I sent you of the interview with the Queen was strictly and literally true. The Diario of this day contains a general order Revoking all military leaves of absence, and com manding officers absent from their corps to rejoin them without delay,—those actually in the capital within twenty-four hours, those in the province of Estramadura within three days, and those in the more distant provinces within twelve days, on pain of " being deemed deserters in time of war."
