The Moniteur of Sunday has a:io reached us, by which we learn that the Telegra phic Dispatch purporting to be from that Journal, which we quoted from a Morning Paper of yesterday, 4:;:s not mention a single word respecting the Consti tution having been abolished at Lisbon cn the Ist inst. This dispatch we subjoin, together with another in the Moniteur of Monday, and two re ports of General GUILLEMINOT and Count ROT• TEMBOURG, all of which appear in the official part of the Moniteurs of Sunday and Monday. The Joianal des Debats contradicts the •statement in Cons:itutionae/, of assassinations having com menced in Madrid; and asserts that not a single per son has suffered in that eripital since the affair of Br.ssuarts, which was twenty-four hours before the first entry of the French. " Madrid," says the Jour nalist," enjoys perfect tranquillity, and it is not pos sible to suppose that this tranquillity can for a mo men: be ..isturbea, since it is guaranteed by the pre sence of the Eerie!) troops, and by that spirit of wis dom, humanity, and moderation which guide the conjuct of the Prince Generalissimo.

His Pan9euvre seems to be to evade.fighting, and to find • a retreat from the pursuit of Geri.+rals.DJnnadieu, St. Priest, and Erotes.

According to the information published in the In dicateur, of Bourdea•tx, the Spanish Authorities of I.tdrid wished to art est Abisbal, but an august Prince opposed it. It is said Abisbal has token the road for Bayonne, and orders were given to receive him ac cording to his rank. On the 31st of May they were making prepara tions for the departure of the Cortes and the King for the island of Leon and Cadiz. The Cortes were to continue their sitting in the Isle of Leon. According to information from Madrid of: the Gth, and Di:boa of the Sth. June, the Constitutional Gene ral Espinofa was at Cuenca with 2,000 men. Bal lasteros, with his division, had taken tie road in the .aronntains of Albarracir. The Constitutional Chief Cawpillo threatened Santander with his Gueriilas. LISBON, MAY zi. The Diar•io has published successively the speeches of several Deputies in the Sitting of the 27th of May, which terminated by a declaration of the Cortes— " That the Ministers had lost the confidence of the Nation." The following are the names of the Ministers ap pointed on the 29th : of the Interior, D. Taria de Curvallto ; of Justice, Antonio Guerteiro ; of War, Neves Custa; the Navy,- Manuel Jean Locio ; Foreign Affairs, JOseph Btaancamp de Sobral.- A person has arrived from Seville at Madrid.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, JUNE 16. 44 A letter received to-day from an officer in the troops under the Count D'Espagne; Viceroy of Na varre, state; that great - disaffection and dissention exists amongst them. " The Count commanded a Spanish division at the battle of Salamanca, and obtained the large gold medal given by tl:e English Government on that oc casion. ‘Ve are still anxiously waiting for further ac counts of the counter-revolution in Lisbon, which ap pears.to have been exaggerated in the Papers. Had the. Cortes been abolished on the Ist of June, we should certainly have had -mare authentic informa tion of such :an event than an intercepted letter. It is t!valght that there has been a reaction, which has established the existing (tortes and Authorities on a firmer footing." • FAENCH FUNDS, INIoNDAY.—Five per Cents. opened at 88f. 75c. left cff at 881. 85c. The French Papers still dwell on the reported counter-revolution in Portugal, without, however, giving any later or very satisfactory intelligence on the subject. The Journal des Debats quotes the fol lowing article from the Diario do Governo, of Lisbon. LISBON, MAY c,I. The following are some details respecting the counter-revolution commenced four days ago, and which, is not yet terminated. The Infante Don Miguel made a movement at nine in the morning, with 30 horse and 360 foot. He cawed the abo lition of the Constitution to be proclaimed in the square of Villa-Franca, and Pf'terWards proceeded out of the town on the road to Santarem. The Pliace sent the following letter to his august father : " Mr FATHeR AND Loan,--My only grief is for having left your Majesty's palace without your permission; but as I could not obtain it from your prudence, and being unable longer to see the degradation of the throne, contrary to the wish of the whole kingdom, I have adopted a course which your Majesty as a King cannot disapprove. We ought to preserve the Royal l‘lajusty unimpaired ; it is a deposit with which we are intrusted. I merely aim at serving your Majesty, as my King, as my father, and delivering the nation. I hope that Heaven will aid'us, and that, as a father, you will give me your benediction, though as a King you may have to perform outward acts contrary to your royal heart. I kiss your Majesty's hands. " Your most devoted son, " MI GUEL." The Prince sent for General Pamplona, who re paired immediately to him. The square of Villa Franca was illuminated on the evening cf the 27th. Many detachments deserted their posts. General Sepulveda (the author of the first Revolu-, tion of Oporto) was intrusted with the defence of the capital. On the 28th he published a Proclamation, in which he requested the people of the capital to place confidence " in a man who never had any other thing in view than the happiness of his country." But on the 29th, it was learned that Sepulveda had left the city with all the troops he could carry off, and that he had joined the Infante Don Miguel. In the sitting of the 30th, the War Minister made a report to the Cortes, from which it appeared that " the traitor, Sepulveda, had cinsed the detertion of 2,760 troops of die line." At the opening of the Sitting, it was nqtitied that the King had appointed a new Ministry ; but some' bouts after it was announced that Don Neves Costa, rappointed Minister at W:rr, hail gone over to the factious. The King appointek: in his place, the De puty Fonsecaltangel. M. de Braancamp, one of the heads of the mo derate party, who was appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs, appears also to have left the town. The troops assembled at Villa Franca intercept the couriers. The Cortes have appointed the Deputy Jorge d'Aviliz• de Sousa-Tavers, General-in-Chief of the .Army. The guard of the King's persOn is intrusted to the 18th regiment. The accounts from fl iyonne received this morning, which are to the 11th inst. are of a-very contrary de scription to those we communicated yesterday, and are favourable to the Constitutionalists. The follow ing are extracts : BAYONNE, JUNE 10. Such a very small numher of letters have arrived to-Clay from Madrid, and those containing nothing of the least importance, that we have nothing to cool *unicate but vague reports, on dies, more or less probable, most of which are to-day favourable to the Constitutionalists. The 9th bulletin is so worded that it seems as if our troops had passed through Astorga, to pursue to some distance beyond it a column of the enemy, whereas the fact is affirmed to be, that we passed at a good distance from the cannon of the place, which is well provided to maintain a siege, with a garrison of 2,000 men. If this is true, it must, like Pampeluna and St. Se bastian, employ part of our troops, besides a rear guard of 1000 men ; and seems to imply that there is a considerable force in that part of the country, which can be no other than that assembled by Palarea : on di!, also, that Morillo is augmenting his force near Ciudad Itod.igo. On all this a notion is founded that the Asturias and Gallicia will soon be in the Same situation as Catalonia. The Pastor, to.), it is reported, has arrived «ith his division near Orduila, where he intends to carry on an active warfare upon the detachments and con voys, especially those which, like the one which left this place yesterday, carry a million of ready money, hich is indispensable to our army in Spain. The accounts Oen by very recent letters from the southern frontiers give Mina 800 men at Urgel, be sides 6000 more that have just gone to join him ; and this great force is said to have excited consternation in La Cerdagne,.so u that the people are determined to leave the country, taking with them their most valu able effects. Another report is, that this has been a kind oflSth of Ft uctidor at Seville: that forty of the Members of the Cortes, who had been gained over by the Re gency, had been arrested by order of the rest of the assembly, who will not listen to any proposals, and who, to complete the number requited to vote le gally, have ordered all the provinces not occupied by the French to nominate additional Members. Letters from Santona affirm, that the Commander of the squadron blockading the port has had the Cap tain of a Spanish vessel shot who attempted to enter, and that the Governor of the place was on the point of putting to death, in . return, a Military Intendant, who, by some means or other, had fallen into his hands. —On the other hand, it is reported that Ballasteros has been taken, with 3,000 men, at Teruel; but we must confess that we think we should have heard this from Head-quarters if it had been true. The heavy artillery continues to arrive, but it advances so slowly that there does not seem to be any serious intention of pressing the siege of the several fortresses. Vessels laden with supplies for the army continue to arrive here; two of them, laden with grain, arc -repotted to be taken by Spanish privateers. Letters from Bayonne are said to have been re ceived in the City this morning, stating that several arrests had taken place at Bilboa, owing to the in formation obtained by intercepting a correspondence carried on with some individuals in that city. A strong cannonading had been heard at Bayonne from the neighbourhood of St. Sebastian, whence it was supposed th!►t the garrison had made a sortie. His MAJESTY, we are happy to state, continues in good health. Yesterday, the Duke of Tonic, as Commander-in- Chief, held a Levee at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by - Major-General Wavell, Lieutenant-General Fraser, Major- Gtneral Cumming, Lieutenant-General Stevitt, Lieutenant-Ge neral Meyriek, Lieutenant-General Donkin, Lieutenant-Gene ral Sir B.

SPITALIYELDS IVEAVERS. Whatever difFerences of opinion may prevail on the subject of the SpitaFields Acts, and it is a.point on . which difference of opinion may fairly be tolerated, there can be but one sentiment as to the f eaceful de rnelnour of the parties who even conceive the pi o posed ineasure ruinous to their interests. The Opel a rise weavers call it a " dicadful mcasuie," and al though they attended in great numbers in the neigh bow hood of the House while the Bill was discussed, and manifested the utmost anxiety respecting i.s fate, yet nothing could be mole temi.era,te and iespectiul than their demeanour. It is not however on the present occasion only that the Spitalfields weavers have exhibited the most derly demeanour. The Eatl of Livenroot. said he had observed their conduct for a long course of years, and he had ever found that no di s tress, no pressure of poverty, not even the ravenings of famine could induce them to alienate their allegiance to the Con stitution." The general good con Duct and respee:asle ratter of the Spital-weavers, coupled t% ith their fit • in but peaceful be.atviour on the vesent occasion, has gained them not only the esteem of the Legislature and the respect of the Public, but has also obtained for them the prayer of their petition, a rev i:sit-n of the Bill now in Parliament affecting their interests. The House of Lords have yielded to the pi aver of - the Petitioners, and referred Are Bill to a Committee, where they may be heard by Counsel, an d produce evidence; and although we ate still of opinion that the rei.eal of the Spitalfields Acts is an essential part of the just and liberal policy which ought to be ob served in matters- of trade and manufacture, that ought to be freed as much as possible horn legisla tive and local restrictions, yet we cannot but consider the course adopte,l by the Peers as due to the respect. able character of the Petitioners. It is a striking, though by no means an infrequent, instance of the Aristocratical branch of the Constitution attending, iastatitli to the Petition of a body of the People, after the demociatical branch had decided against them. It is one Of the excellencies of the British Constitti. tion, as •divided into three branches, each one inde pendent of the other. Time is thus given for the Legislature to consider more folly than it could do, supposing there was only one ettate, whether a law shall be enacted or not: The new Bill which passed the House of Commons, and was read in the Upper House, will be this day referred to the Committee appointed by the Hon :e bf Lords on Monday evening. It is not a lt select," but what is called an 's open" Committee., all the Lords are privileged to attend . and vote. fire Committee will assemble soon after ore o'clock, in the Old I louse of Lords, a curious and ancient building„which was formerly HENRY the EIGHTH'S bed.chimher: it is close to the Painted Chamber, where the Couit of Coronation Claims met.
