As we anticipated yesterday, the defeat and precipitate flight of MIGUEL from Santarem, have terminated in his final overthrow and sur render. Pressed on the one hand by the victo rious army of the QUEEN, and cut off on the other in his retreat on Elvas, by a Spanish di vision from Andalusia, his Commander-in- Chief, General LENTOS, made a virtue of necessity, and accepted the terms contained in the amnesty of Don PEDRO. The conse quence was the surrender of MIGUEL and the remnants of his army. Don MIGUEL has been allowed to take what course he pleased as to his future destiny, and he has had the modesty to make an English man of war his place of re fuge. He may, therefore, be expected to honour this country with his presence in the course of the week, accompanied, in all proba bility, by his brother in misfortune, Don CARLOS. The following are some details from a morning contemporary on the subject : LISBON, MAY 27. •The war is now definitively at an end, Don Mi guel having surrendered and embarking at the port of Sines, or some other in Algarves, on board a British ship of war, as you will perceive from the enclosed Supplement to this day's Chronica, which his Majesty the Emperor himself condescended to hand to me half an hour ago at the Palace of Necessidades, where I went to contragulate him on the happy termination of his glorious labours, when, from amongst the crowd of courtiers, he was pleased to single me out as a witness of the commencement and progress of his exertions during the siege of Oporto, when the aspect of affairs was any thing but encouraging. Don Pedro, I must say, bears his good fortune with the greatest mo deration, and rejoices at the further effusion of blood being spared, and still more so at the safety of his brother, who, had he fallen into the hands of the Duke of Terceira's army instead of Saldanha's, it is apprehended, would have fallen a victim to the fury of the soldiers. Salutes from the batteries and all the ,ships of war in the river have been firing all this morning. The despatch of Marshal Saldanha, dated yesterd.4y, from Evora, was brought this morning by his aide-de-camp, Col. Ximenes. It is asserted that Don Miguel ordered an attack, but that his soldiers, refusing to obey, secured him, when he made a virtue of necessity, and surrendered. The City of Edinburgh steamer taking the de spatch to England is now preparing to go out, and fearing to miss the opportunity, I conclude. A. M. Don Carlos is said to be in the same boat with Miguel. TheDonegal,74,is to carry them to England. (Supplement to N 0.124 of the Chronica Constitu clonal de Lisboa.) • " Most Illustrious and Excellent Senhor,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's despatch of this day, which accompa nied two copies of orders, received by your Excel lency kom the Government of Lisbon, as well as a packet. of. proclamations, signed by Don Pedro, Duke of •Braganza ; and, in reply, it is my duty to state s that in order to avoid the shedding of more Portuguese blood, the propositions of which your Excellency has sent me a copy are accepted. " As it . is'permitted to Don Miguel to embark in any port, and in any of the vessels of either of the four Allied Powers, he has chosen the port of Sines, or any other in Algarve, and on board an English vessel ; and he desires to know whether her most Serene Highness the Infanta Donna Isabel ,Maria; who is in the fortress of Elvas, is to accom- It now remains to make the necessary arrange ments, for which purpose I wait the orders of your Excellency, and I am ready to appear in any place which yd!ipay point out, if it should be necessary. God preserve your Excellency. (Signed) " JOSE ANTONIO DE AZEVEDO LEMOS, Lieutenant-General. " Evora, May 26, 1834. " To the most Illustrious and Excellent Senhor Conde de Saldanha."

Bank for Account India for Account Cons, for Account and some of the patriotic people of this country : BRUSSELS, MAY 31.—The purchasers of the ground for the section of the road between Brussels and Malines have not hitherto met with any difficulties. They are generally arranged by the parties interested, and without having recourse to surveyors or arbitra tors, and on terms not above the estimates. Every body, from the greatest landowner to the meanest peasant, is desirous of facilitating this national enter prise. The French papers of Sunday have been re ed, but they contain no news of interest. The late changes in the English Cabinet seem to have excited great anxiety in Paris, which the division and explanation of last night will set at rest. The following extracts from Frankfort papers may serve as useful information to the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER : " HANOVER, MAY 24.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber on the 21st, the order of the day was the debate on the stamp duties. M. Lunzel, in reference to the stamp duty to which foreign journals are subject in Hanover, wished that the newspapers might not be taxed as hitherto, and that the tax might be laid on playing cards, which are in every respect an article of luxury. It was his opinion that nothing contributed so much to diffuse information and to en lighten the people as a newspaper ; if they had lat terly subjected themselves to odium, because some were written in too licentious a manner, such abuses might be prevented by judicious laws. He thought that newspapers, both foreign and national, should be allowed to come into the hands of the people at as cheap a rate as possible. He therefore proposed that all taxes im posed on newspapers should be transferred to playing cards. In the first Chamber a member in the debate on the same subject expressed a wish that a very light stamp duty might be laid on the journals of fashion.—Frank fort Papers, May 28. The following is from the German papers : " VIENNA, MAY 24.—A ship which has arrived at Zara. in forty-three days from Alexandria, has brought intelligence that Mehemet Ali had made peace with the inhabitants of Mocha, after their leader bad been taken prisoner.

The cause of rational and constitutional freedom has just achieved a glorious triumph in the return of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL for Edinburgh, by a majority of not less than 530 ! The Tory candidate cut but a sorry figure, and the Radical one still worse. Sir JOHN CAMP BELL may now congratulate himself that he was the rejected of Dudley, seeing that he has ex changed the representation of a fourth-rate pro vincial English town, for that of the metropolis of his native country. The House Tax Repeal Bill was last night read a third time, and passed in the House of Commons. It is to take effect from the sth of April last, and Government have issued in structions to the assessors of taxes throughout the country, not to charge any houses with the inhabited house duty from that period. We refer to the debate of last night for a confirmation of what we stated yesterday afternoon respecting Mr. WARD'S resolutions. A Royal Commission has issued, and Ministers were supported in their policy by a majority of 396 against 120. This speaks 'volumes. The explanation of Mr. STANLEY places the cause of his secession in its true light, and says more for Earl G R EY'S administration; than all the speeches of the Cabinet Ministers last night. His principles with regard to the Protestant church in Ireland, are of so uncom promising, so selfish, and so exclusive a de scription, that, with all his readiness in de bate, all his decision, and all his family influ ence, he must necessarily be a clog and a drawback on any administration, but one of a purely ultra-Tory character. His prin ciples are, that no matter how the Pro testant population fall off, no matter how Catholics increase, anti no matter how injurious to the Protestant religion may be the existing establishment, still it must be preserved at all hazards—no inroads must be made on the church—a clergyman must be paid for in every parish, whether he resides there or not— whether there are five hundred Protestants or not one, and all the staff of archbishops, bishops, deans, and prebends must be maintained in Catholic Ireland precisely as it is now maintained in England. There is no mincing of the matter here, and neither Lord ELDON, nor any bishop in the most flourishing state of high church ascendancy, could advance doc trines of a more bigotted or more illiberal description. There might be some excuse for such principles if they were found to bent, in the smallest degree, the church, or efi if the example of the Protestant clergy in Ireland had the effect of reconciling the people either to them or their doctrines ; but when it is admitted on all hands that the Catholics are on the increase in that country, and that Protestantism. is on the decline, or, in the Right Hon. Gentleman's words, that " even in the present state of things the tide of Protestant emigration is flowing out from many parts of Ireland in a deep, a full, and a rapid current," is it not something worse than folly to keep up a system which not only does not answer the end, but on the contrary has been the fruitful source for the last 200 years of rapine, murder, and almost every crime ? We are as sincerely attached to the Protestant church, and approve of her doctrines and service as cordially as her warmest sup porters ; but knowing that no establishment, however pure and excellent of itself, can be maintained by perpetrating injustice, and by exciting, in opposition to it, the strongest feelings of human nature, we have all along contended for a thorough, a vigorous, and an impartial revision of the whole of the church establishment in Ireland. It is absurd to mix up the rights of two churches, the English and Irish churches, together, and those who have recourse to such a mode of argument are not so excusable as the followers of Lord GEORGE GORDON and those bigots who did in bygone times raise the cries of " No Popery I" and " The Church in danger !" England is essentially a Protestant country, and her established religion is Protestant ; for the same reason the established religion of Scotland is Presbyterian, and to attempt to make that of Ireland either the one or the other is as absurd as to attempt to impose our religion on the Hindoos, or establish a Protestant minister in every five square miles of our vast Indian ter ritory. Religion is not changed by forcible means, and Mr. STANLEY and the seceders may depend upon it, that if they were to have their own way, and a House of Commons were mad enough to back them, we should still have only a repetition of those frightful scenes which have so long afflicted Ire land, without adding one particle of strength to the Protestant cause, or exciting one additional feeling of regard for the reformed doctrines in the breasts of the Catholic population. It is not because we do not wish prosperity to the Established Church, that we recommend a set tlement of the question, but because we are convinced that the longer the settlement is de layed, the less secure she will become, and the greater will be the hostility between two coun tries that nature has indisputably united. It will come soon or late ; but till it comes—till the overgrown establishment is reduced, and a pro vision made for those pastors that guide the Catholic population at their will, the Govern ment may rest assured there will be no peace for Ireland or England. IRISH CHURCH COMMISSION. The following is an authentic abstract of the document. It will be under Royal Seal, di rected to the Lord Chancellor, Lord Mel- ,ourne, and competent Barristers. It recites—. " The expediency of an inquiry into the state of religious and other instruction, and the means of af fording the same, now existing in Ireland. It will au thorize and appoint the commissioners,any two or more of them, to visit every parish in Ireland, and to ascertain on the spot, by the best evidence which they can pro cure, there or elsewhere, the number of members of, or persons in communion with, the United Church e f England and Ireland in each benefice or parish, dis tinguishing, in the case of such benefices as comprise more than one parish, the number belonging to each parish separately, and to the union collectively ; and also to state the distances of the parishes in each union from each other respectively—to state the number and rank of the ministers belonging to or offi ciating within each benefice whether Rector, Vicar, or Curate, and whether resident or non-resident--to state the periods at which divine service is performed in each parish church or chapel, and the average num ber of persons usually attending the service in each— and to state generally whether those members have been for the last five years increasing, stationary, or diminish ing, to ascertain the number of the several other places of worship belonging to Roman Catholics or Presbyterians or other Protestant Dissenters, and the number of ministers officiating in each—the proportion of the po pulation of each parish belonging to each of such per suasions respectively--the periods at which divine service is performed in each of their chapels, and the average number of persons usually attending the service in each, and to state generally whether those numbers have been, for the last five years, increasing, stationary, or diminishing. " To ascertain the state of each parish, with re ference to the means of education, the number and description of schools, the kind of instruction afforded therein, the average attendance at each, and the sources from which they are supported ; and to state I generally whether the numbers attending the same have, for the last five years, been increasing, sta tionary, or diminishing. To inquire generally whether adequate provision is now made for the religious instruction and for the general education of the people of Ireland. To re port such other circumstances connected with the moral and political relations of the Church Establish ment, and the religious institutions of other,iiects-'as may bring clearly into view their bearings on the ge neral condition of the people of Ireland." LORD GREY'S LETTER. " May 31,.1834. " Dear Lord Ebrington—l received yesterday even ing your very kiud note accompanying the letter, which had been written under the impression that I had determined to retire from the situation which I now hold. " Whether I regard the expressions contained in the letter itself, or the number and respectability of the signatures, I cannot help feeling this to be one of the most gratifying testimonials of confidence and good opinion every received by any public man. " It imposes on me the duty of making every per sonal sacrifice that can be required of me, and which can be useful for the support of the principles on which the present Administration was formed. But I will not conceal from you, that declining strength makes it extremely doubtful whether I shall be found equal to the task which is thus imposed upon me. If my endeavours to supply the places of those of whose services the country has been so unfortunately deprived prove successful, it is only by the support of honourable and independent men, in conducting the Government on safe and moderate principles, that I can hope to get through the difficulties which are before me. " Founded on the principles of reform, the present administration must necessarily look to the cor rection of all proved abuses. But in pursuing course of salutary improvement, I feel it indispensable that we shall be allowed to proceed with delibera tion and caution ; and above all, that we should not be urged, by a constant and active pressure from with out, to the adoption of any measures, the necessity of which has not been fully proved, and which are not strictly regulated by a careful attention to the settled institutions of the country, both in Church and State. " On no other principle can this or any other Ad ministration be conducted with advantage or safety. " I am, &c. " GREY."

The fineness of the day very much contributed to the delight of the juvenile visiters, and the amusements of the gardens afforded them a high, and of course, unusual treat.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, TUESDAY, JUNE 3. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes after twelve o'clock. Upon the motion of Mr. PHILLPOTTS, the Glou cester and Berkely Canal Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. CARTWRIGHT moved the third reading of the Stoney-Stratford Bridge Bill. The Marquis of CHANDOS opposed the third reading, and moved that the clause imposing a toll for the repair of the Bridge should be omitted. Mr. CARTWRIGHT said the admission of this clause would be fatal to the bill, and entreated the noble lord not to press his motion to a division. The Marquis of CHANDOS persisted, and the gallery was cleared for a division, when there not being a sufficient number of members present to constitute a house, the business was postponed, and the house stood adjourned till five o'clock this evening.

THE MAGAZINES. LADY'S MAGAZINE. The current number of this periodical is em bellished with a richly coloured portrait, after Holbein, of Jane Seymour, the third Queen of Henry the Eighth, to which is affixed a brief illustrative memoir, comprising all that is known, or likely to be known, of the private history of the fair successor of Anna Boleyn. " Ellen Newton " is just the sort of tale to suit the readers of a lady's magazine, for it is told with much feeling, and is striking and natural in its incidents. The remaining articles are of the usual average in point of merit. COURT MAGAZINE. We have already noticed, in the terms they de serve, the highly finished illustrations of the present number, and have merely, therefore, to speak of the literary department, which contains one very read able paper, entitled the " Privateer." The poetry is neither above nor below mediocrity. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The debate of last night will be read with curiosity at least, if not anxiety, from end to end of the island. But the conduct of Ministers will provoke feelings of a dif ferent class. We had hoped that they would not risk any thing in the nature of resistance to Mr. Ward's motion so pitiful and unmanly as the previous question, upon a pro position too which, although Mr. Stanley had denied, his late colleagues boasted of concurring in. But Lord Althorp, reckoning on the eager support of the Conservatives, and on that of the more timid and time-serving among the mere Ministerial partisans, who look with horror on the possibi lity of a dissolution, announced at the Downing-street meeting yesterday Ihat he would persist in the course on which this day week he was afraid to venture, while he sopped the more decent and plausible of his hearers, by promising a commission to inquire into the state of ecclesiastical ,pro perty in Ireland, and of the relative numbers of the seve ral religious sects, all the important facts concerning which are already on record in various authentic returns and other publications. Delay, however, was necessary, and, thanks to the perverse condition of parties, and to the low state of Parliamentary intelligence and spirit, compared with that of the people at large, the previous question was swallowed, and the " commission" bolted down with it, by a majority which, well as it served the turn of Ministers for this one night, will be of little use to them on any other ; the 120 conservatives, with Sir Robert Peel at their head, not being very tractable, we believe, to the general purposes of this fag-end Administration. At so late an hour we cannot enter at large upon the topics which grow out of last night's debate; we shall, however, return to them, remarking now, that if Mr. Ward's motion was nothing more than a pledge—and what else could it be ?—of certain measures affecting the Church of Ireland, there was no sort of reason adduced by Lord Althorp, Lord J. Russell, Mr. Spring Rice, and the rest of them, why they should not vote in favour of a reso lution, to the truth of which they one and all bore witness, that the previous question was no pledge of any thing but the repugnance of Ministers to have the question discussed at all, and the commission no more a satisfaction to the country than any one of the same class of costly, jobbing, pompous, and unproductive humbugs with which the whole kingdom has been deluged for the last two or three years. We say again, that this majority will not be worth a single farthing to the " lath-and-plaster" Cabinet. Indeed, the Ministers themselves cannot be so destitute of sense and feeling as to see any thing but humiliation in the victory of last night. They are objects of profound pity. What, then, shall be said of the nation governed by such men ? But no more at present.— Times. Lord Althorp, as was expected, moved the previous question last night on Mr. Ward's resolution, and the House of Commons, as was not expected, carried the pre vious question by a majority of 276, the division being 396 to 120. We have not room to offer any comments on this result ; but our readers will probably consider the debate of sufficient importance to read it through with attention, and judge for themselves how far the representatives of the people have acted in conformity with their wishes and their interests. Both the summary and the Parliamentary re port will show that a commission of inquiry into the affairs of the church of Ireland had been issued by the King be fore the Chancellor of the Exchequer rose in his place to call for the confidence of the House of Commons.—Morn ing Herald. It will be seen by the vote of last night in the House of Commcms, that then was a great maprity in favour of the course of policy pursised by his Majesty s Ministers with respect to the Church of England and Ireland. The amount of that majority neither has, nor can have, the slightest influence either upon the opinion which we enter tained of the administration as a body, or upon the manner in which we may deem it necessary to treat its conduct. Leaving out of consideration, however, the rather inferior materials, as compared with what might have been pro cured, it is in perfect accordance with the announcement which we made yesterday, namely, "to give it a fair trial, and to allow sound principle to predominate over talent where fairly and fearlessly followed out," to declare that the proceedings of last night, though not so energetic, bold, and comprehensive as we wished to see, are nevertheless calculated to win no inconsiderable portion of our approba tion. We cannot, we confess, see why the new Cabinet, admitting as it.does the spirit of •Mr. Ward's resolutions, should object to having them placed among the votes of the house; but we are nevertheless content that good should be done in any way, however inappropriate, and hail, in consequence, with great satisfaction this first step towards a more liberal policy on the part of the new Go vernment. It is also satisfactory to learn from Mr. Ellice, and other members of his Majesty's Government, that there is no disunion of sentiment amongst its members on the present question ; and that when the results of the in quiry become known it will act upon them with proper spirit and energy.— Morning Advertiser. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. Our arrivals this morning are French, Hamburg, and Mexican mails ; also an express from Lisbon. by the City of Edinburgh. It appears that the fate of Don Miguel is at length decided. After the battle of the 16th ult. he succeeded in making his retreat as far as Evora, on the road to Elvas, whence he could proceed no further, as a division of Spaniards was posted at Montoyto, and would have cut off his communication with Elvas by a flank movement. His small army thus situated, Ge neral Lemos, who commanded them, wishing to avoid the further effusion of blood, accepted of the terms offered to Don Miguel and his army. Thus has ended this long contested civil war, by permitting Don Miguel to embark on board a British ship of war at any ' port he may choose in the Algarves, and it is supposed that Don Carlos will accompany him. It is now the general opinion that Spain will soon de mand of Portugal a reciprocal assistance of 10,000 men, , under the command of General Saldanha, to conquer the Carlists in Spain. The Mexican mail, brought by the Stanmer packet, left Tampico on the sth, and Vera Cruz on the 14th April. i She brings a freight of 200,000 dollars, with satisfactory news from that quarter. It appears that General Bravo has submitted to the Government, on condition of retain ing his rank. The Bolana mines were looking well. THE FUNDS. The anxiously looked for debate took place last night in the House of Commons, and has terminated in so large a majority for ministers, as has rather surprised our city speculators. Ministers are now expected to get through the session without much difficulty. Consols, which left off yesterday at 92 1 4 for the Ac count, opened at 92 3 4 X, at which price they are at pre sent, with little doing. Spanish has reached 39i ; Por tuguese, although such favourable information arrived this morning, does not prosper, and may be quoted 77 1 4. We learn that Don Miguel has given up all the crown jewels. HALF-PAST ONE. We understand that three expresses were received this morning with the account of the surrender of Don Miguel, one to our government, another to M. Silva, and the other to the Portuguese ambassador. Consols are firm, and maintain the price of 994 93 for the account, owing to the strength of the present admi nistration in the House of Commons.

SINGULAR BEEIIIVE.—Last week a very remarkable circumstance was witnessed in a house on the Tavistock-road, which had been recently quitted by a rev. gentleman. The proprietor, on taking off a lock from the garden door, which had not been used for some time, was much surprised to find therein a honey-comb, together with four bees, the latter, of course, in a torpid state. The honey in the comb we understand was very fine.—Plymouth Journal. A man was tried a short time ago, before the Court of Assizes at Aix, for stealing an ass, when he made the following ingenious defence, which, how ever, did not avail him, since he was found guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment :—He stated that, going for a walk, he took a fancy to climb a tree, at the foot of which was an ass, but he had only just reached the first branch, when it broke in his hand, and he fell astride upon the ass, who, surprised by being thus suddenly mounted, galloped off with him, and consequently was the thief instead of himse Galignani's Messenger.
