Our opinions upon the disastrous disturbances in the Peninsula hare been so frequently expressed that any explicit repetition of them here would be super fluous. The faithlessness of the reigning SOVEREIGN is beyond all contradiction, and it is equally undeni able, that if ever a people were justified in demanding the fulfilment of the coronation oath, the inhabitants of Portugal have been so justified. To gainsay either of these assertions were to proclaim the patriotism of the CABRALS and the generous policy of DIETZ. Beyond this it is notorious that throughout the civil war among the Portuguese cruelties have been per petrated by only one portion of the belligerents, that portion being the military force of the Royalists. As proofs that we are guilty of no exaggeration in this statement we refer to the unconditional expatria tion of the prisoners taken when the insurgents were discomfited, and also to the villanous practices which have recently attached such an infamous celebrity to Torres Vedras. To say that the interference of the allied Sove reigns was absolutely imperative from the clauses contained in the Quadruple Alliance were a wilful distortion of that solemn compact. Had the Junta in any manner advocated the claims of Dom MIGUEL, had the Could Des ANTAS revealed an ambi tion on his part to transform his sword, by a species of military legerdemain, into a sceptre, had the insurgent captain SA DA BANDEIRA indicated any intention to destroy the " baubles" of monarchical government, and establish a pet system of republican ism in its stead—then, but certainly not otherwise, might the armed interference of England, France, and Spain have been imperatively demanded by MARIA DA. GLORIA, in accordance with the letter of the provisions contained in the articles of the Qua druple Alliance. But the Junta of Oporto did none of these things : it emphatically denied any ulterior views derogatory to the royal authority of the QUEER Regnant, it repudiated the supposition that its arma ments were raised for the furtherance of the claims of Dom MIGUEL ; its Commander•in-Chief, the Count Das ANTAS, expressed to our Plenipotentiary, Colonel WYLDE, every readiness to accede to the ploposition forwarded for his acceptance by Lord PALMERSTON, on the understanding that the other consenting party in the arrangement, MARIA DA GLORIA, would give some reasonable guarantee that her engagements should be strictly fulfilled. Was this an extravagant demand on the part of the Pro visional Junta and its leader ? Assuredly not. As suredly it was not extravagant for the representatives of a nation to require some definite assurance that a monarch, who had so continually acted with duplicity and perfidy, would for once adhere to the conditions of their reconciliation. Assuredly it was not extra- vagant for those who had with comparatively little bloodshed, and certainly with the commission of not one heinous act of inhumanity, subjugated the whole of a considerable kingdom, with the exception of the capital and its suburbs, to require, before the deliver ing up of the conquered provinces, a ho3tage, as it Sir ROBERT PEEL presided on Wednesday at the eighth anniversary festival held in aid of the funds of the King's College Hospital. One would have supposed that the theme of the Right Hon. Baronet's speech presented no very striking materials for engaging the interest of either his auditory, or the country, when the purport of his remarks became publicly known. Yet it is peculiar to some minds to invest the most ordinary topics with sentiments that kindle the best feelings of our nature, even when this result is the least anticipated. It is this aptitude that attests to the range and philosophical acquirements of the speaker's mind. lle views his subject in all its rela tions, direct and indirect, as they affect society at large, and frequently, by the original turn of his in tellect, succeeds in placing it in a new light which recommends it more favourably than ever to the at tention of his country. Expatiating upon the cause of benevolence and charity, as connected with the maintenance of institutions for giving relief in cases of disease and accident, and alluding to the vast amount of good that has been and is being daily ac complished through their instrumentality, Sir ROBERT PEEL proceeded to notice, that in exhibiting the kindliness of our nature towards the maimed and sick of our poorer brethren, by voluntarily contributing to the support of public receptacles for the alleviation and cure of their suffer ings and infirmities, we were pursuing a course I " against which no possibility of objection could be raised. There are cases of benevolence and charity where, however unquestionable the motives, it is possible we may be relaxing exertion and engendering habits of dependence on external assistance ; but here there is no possibility of objection on any such ground to the exercise of our charity !" And yet, strange as it may seem, that form of charity which, as the ex-Premier has noticed, is free from all possible objection, in which human misery is mitigated, habits of self-dependence not relaxed, nor motives to continuous exertion interfered with, has been the most neglected in this mighty metropolis. Excluding those districts of the metropolis which do not return Members to Parlia ment, it appears we have a population of 1,500,000 souls to deal with, but for whose care and treatment, in the hour of danger and physical suffering, we have not more than ten hospitals for general purposes ; and it further appears (which is the greatest reproach to us) that seven out of these ten were established one hundred years ago; and not merely this, but that the three additional ones, which are all that have been erected within a century, notwithstanding the pro digious increase in our population and public wealth, are greatly inferior in accommodation and other re spects to th ose wh i ch our ancestors had so muni ficently reared. It is thus manifest that the affluent have shamefully neglected an important moral o 1 li tion. Th e E nglish are renowned for their benevolent disposition, but not unfrequentlyehitar there is a mor bid taste for ostentatiousecoftentimes r e inducing . parties to give donati ons for objectswhich exceptionable, instead of, aretothotshee, most which,though not laudabl e th at no vel in their principle, can be encouraged. were, that their rational demands would in the end be satisfied. There was nothing, we maintain, extrava gant in the simple conditional acquiescence pronounced by the Oporto Junta and its mouthpiece, Des ANTAS, in the proposals delivered to them by Colonel WYLDE. So much, therefore, as to the propriety of regard- Stage Manager, Mr. W. D. Broadfoot. !:s.; Boxes, 45.; Upper foxes, 33 ; Plt, 2s. • Gallery, 13. ; tipper Gallery, 6 , 1.

Lee, Mrs. 'aka, &e. ing the popular movement in Portugal as a movement necessitating either the armed interposition of adjacent Governments or the rupture of the Quadruple Alliance. That movement on the part of the Portuguese popu lation had proved itself to be no petty and provincial revolt, but the unanimous outburst of a whole nation for the realisation of its liberties and the maintenance of its constitutional rights. The disturbance was not a local revolt, but a comprehensive and—it must be acknowledged —a moderate revolution. It has, nevertheless, been deemed advisable by the English Government to hasten th• reconciliation between Queen MARIA DA GLORIA and her people, by authorising Admiral PARKER to co-operate with the land forces of her Portuguese MAJESTY. In arriving at this decision our rulers have, we are satisfied, been impelled by no rash affection for the employment of physical force in preference to moral force : they regard the misunderstanding, we doubt not, between the SoußaloN of Portugal and the people of Portugal in somewhat the same light as vt e do ourselves; but they regard an armed intervention as about the speediest means of arriving at the desired termination to so many difficulties. This even- ing, however, the country will, we trust, be in possession of the precise views entertained by her MAJESTY'S advisers upon a matter which must arouse the anxiety of all those who can sym pathise with a race struggling for their political liberation. Coupled with the intelligence received since the commencement of this article, that the Count Das ANTAS has been captured, together with two thousand men, and all the property of the Provisional Junta of Oporto, the anticipated discus sion upon Mr. flumE's inquiry must be considered as one of the most important since the opening of the present session. tfter which WILLIANE TIIONIP5ON; or, the Sleepwalker and his ltival. CONSORT has, it is said, determined to lix on Valla dolid as his place of residence for the future. At present he continues at the Prado. The 3d being the feast of Corpus Christi, the Bulsa was closed. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. They all comment on the discus-ion which took place on Monday, in the Chamber of Deputies, on the subject of Algeria. In the course of the discus sion, it was admitted, that to keep possession of Algeria, under the present system, the presence of an army of at least 100,000 men would be always re quired in the colony. On this subject, the Journal des Debals says— " Can hopes be entertained of one day reducing the number of troops? We mast not deceive ourselves; that cannot take place within a short period. M. de Chasseloup-Laubat reckons a good deal on the increased number of roads ; we think with the report, that the art of the conquerors is less easy; however, roads are in fact instruments of domination and conquest, the influence of which is proved by the history of all countries. The report considers that a diminution of the army in Algeria is, above all, to be looked fur in a good gove r n men t o f the Arab people. We see it, for our parts, principally in coloniza tion, and, in consequence, we consider it most urgent to advance that measure. The government of the Arabs has been treated pretty fully in the report, and was alluded to yesterday in the discussion. It appears to us that it is perhaps the point calling least for remark. The government such as it is, such as it has been established by Marshal Bugeaud, with the traditions of justice and kind feeling for the vanquished people which he has bequeathed to his go. nerals and the Arab bureux, constitutes the solution of the question. We may add that this system of government has not called forth any condemnatory remark either in the re- Port or during the discussion. Since we have spoken of co lonization, we shall say two words on the subject, although we should have preferred to reserve this subject for another day. We have been in Africa seventeen years, and there are computed to be there a European population of 100,000. How many real colonists are there amongst them? We dare not say. The European population does not manifest such an eagerness to proceed to Africa that we can afford to raise up difficulties and choose. What, however, do some members of the Chamber desire? To establish cate gories --to exclude some and then others; some because they are rich and will not consent to spend their life in it farm of the Mitidja ; others because they are poor. Is it not one hundred times more sensible to throw the doors wide open to every one?" The Presse has the following observations : "The possession of Algeria will depend upon ourselves, to be either a good or a bad affair for France ; it will be good it wisely conducted, that is if it be made, like Corsica, an an nexation, an extension of the territory of France; if it be peopled with French citizens as firmly attached to the go vernmental unity as are the French of Alsace or Franche Conte; if, in a word, it be divided into French departments in every respect similar to those of France. The possession of Algeria will be a sad thing to France, if it continues to devour its finances and th e eli te o f i ts population ; if we per sist in maintaining 100,000 men for keeping hi check an enemy whose arrival is Algeria the .fflonittur Algerien an nounced (falsely, by the way), in these terms The Emir Abd-el-Kader has just re-appeared in the south of Sebdon, with considerable forces, consisting of 400 horsemen, and from 400 to 500 infantry.' This possession will be bad and onerous as long as the Chambers shall permit France to be made ridiculous by so disproportionate a struggle, by the employment of the club of Hercules to strike an enemy so feeble." The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies ap pointed to consider the affair of M. EMILE DE GIRAR DIN met on Tuesday. M. DE GIRARDIN appeared before it, and entered into explanations respecting the facts which had induced him to publish the in criminating article, and, on retiring, deposited on the table a declaration, which was to be annexed to the report. The Committee adjourned at three o'clock, and was to assemble again on Wednesday. It is said that M. DE GIRARDIN is fully prepared to prove his case. In the sitting of the Chamber on Tuesday the Minister of Public Works presented three railroad Bills. One was relative to the Montereau and Troyes line; the second, to that of the Dieppe and Fecamp, prolonging the delay necessary for its execution, and authorising the company to construct the branch with only one line of rails ; and the third, referred to the Versailles and Chartres road, and to the loan to be made to the left bank (Versailles Company). It was currently reported in the Chamber, that the Ministry had received a telegraphic dispatch, an nouncing the submission of the Junta of Oporto. On this subject the Union Monarchique says : "It was yesterday stated in the Chamber of Deputies that a telegraphic dispatch had reached Paris in the morning, an nouncing that the Junta of Oporto had made its complete submission before the ultimatum laid down by the three Commissioners of the Governments of France, England, and Spain. We endeavoured, as far as possible, to ascertain the source of this rumour, and we can announce in an almost positive manner, that very important news from Portugal were really received yesterday by the French Government; but it does not go beyond signalising a very marked pro gress towards the issue of the negotiations opened to bring about, either by persuasion or force, the end of the state of crisis in which Portugal now is. In any case, the rumour spread in the Chamber was only premature, for every thing concurs in causing it to be believed that it cannot be long before it becomes a certa►nty." The French Government have determined to dis patch four ships of war to the Tagus, under the com mand of a Rear-Admiral. They will have orders to co-operate with the English fleet. The Flotte publishes a letter from an officer on board the Voltigeur, dated Pondicherry, April 19, in which, in giving an account of the accident to the Belle Poule frigate, in the hurricane in which she was caught at the beginning of December, it alludes to the probable fate of the Berceau "The Belle Poule was laid on her beam-ends for two hours without being able to right herself. Her officers deli berated upon the necessity of cutting away the mizenmast. The foremast was split, the topmast was carried away, the hull was damaged, and the boats washed off by the sea. The gale lasted only a few hours, but drove towards the shore, so that the ships were obliged to beat up against it. The frigate was able to reach moorings at St. Marie, where she quickly repaired her damages and changed her foremast. The Berceau must have gone down, for no part of her has been seen, except some few pieces of wreck drifted on shore. Among them were some hats, the prow of a boat, and an oil-painting, by Lebreton, which was in the stern-cabin." The thuvers announces the death, at Naples, of Cardinal ACTON, and of Cardinal PIGNATELLI, archbishop of Palermo.

(From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was flat again, and the decline on American, compared with Friday last, is %d. per lb. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales, of which 2,500 were American, at 6%d. to 7%d. per lb.; S ura t was a t 4d. t o 4Y s d. per lb. ; and Bahia at 7 1 4 d. to 7%d. Railway Shares were firm, but with very little doing. Accounts of February 13 from Melbourne, Port Philip, state that the whole district was suffering from the scarcity of labourers, and that as there was a surplus from the land fund, and the squatter's tax, it was hoped that the whole amount would be appropriated to the promotion of immigra tion into Port Phillip exclusively, leaving the other settle ments to procure labour from their own resources and revenue. The news received from the West Indies, and given in another column, our own accounts not having reached as yet, are satisfactory, as respects the vari ous i s l an d s, b ut from Mexico we are still without any ne ws o f a conclusive nature, and the war promises to become now of a predatory cha racter before it concludes. The Public Securities were rather tending up war d s ear ly i n the day, but have since declined. Consols have realised 88 to 4 for present transfer, and 88% to 3 4 for account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88% to 3 4, and the Three per Cents. 86% to 87. Bank Stock is quoted 194% to 196. Exchequer bills have been marked 3s. to 6s. premium. The Foreign Securities have been steady, but with very limited transactions. The news received by telegraph of the capture of Das Antes has made Portuguese St oc k ra th er better, viz., 30 to 30%. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been at 83%. Mexican Stock is worth 20%, In Railway Shares the business d one h as been moderate. The recommendation of the Parliamentary C omm i ttee to allow the companies prosecuting Bills this session to suspend their works if they so think fit, seems generally to be ap proved, and it is hoped that but few companies will neglect to avail themselves thereof.

At Mulhouse the sellers were numerous last market day, but no one seemed willing to buy. Native corn was offered at 38 franca and foreign corn at 35 francs. There has been a diminution of six francs on the prices sinco the last market, and a total fall of from ten to eleven francs since the first symptoms of a decline. At Bouffach and at Soult sales were not considerable, and there was a sensible reduction. At Belfort and Donnernarie the market was of second order, and prices considerably lower. At Schelestadt the medium price of the market before last was 481. 14c., that of the last market (the 23d) was 431. 7c., being a difference of 41. 35c. At Strasburg, the corn, which at the market before last was sold at 48f., was last market day at from 42f. to 43:., and 511 keetolitres remained unsold. At Nancy, at Epinal, and at St. I)ie there was a fall of from 7 to 9 francs. At Besancon there has been a a considerable fall for some time. It is a fact worthy of notice that commercial houses are so pressed by the arrivals of considerable quantities of grain purchased during the winter, that travellers are going throughout all the localities to endeavour to get rid of their stocks ; some of them even cause their prices to be published through the villages. This is owing to the fact that there is no time to lose ; we are close upon the harvest, which promises to be most favourable this year.

We take the ten e th e ue :cum , . lets , eeen an immense blue book published 00 . .Vednesda ) : VISCOUNT PALMERSToN TO SIR HAMILTON SEYM Foreign-office, April sth, 1847. Sir,—Her Majesty's Government have.taken into their deliberate consideration the appecation which the Go v, rtanent of Portugal has made to the Powers who were parties to the Treaty of Quadruple Alliance in 1834 for assistance under the stipulation of that treat) ; and I have to instruct you to state to the Portuguese Minister for Foreign Affairs, that after the most attentive exami nation of the grounds upon which that application has been founded, her Majesty's Government cannot per suade themselves that either the letter or the spirit of the Quadruple Treaty can justly be deemed applicable to the state of things new existing in Portugal. The treaty of 1334 was concluded for two purposes. The first purpose was to put an end to a war in regard to the succession to the crown of Portugal, which bad then been waged for some time between the Emperor Don Pedro, who contended fo r the rights of her pre.sent Majesty, Maria IL, and the Infanta Don Miguel, aho had usurped the throne. The second purpose of that treaty was of a similar kind, nemely, to expel from the Peninsula the Infante Don Carlos, who disputed with her present Majesty, Isabella 11., the succession to the mown of Spain. Both Don Miguel and Don Carlos were at the time within the territory of Portugal, and at the head of troops armed and organized for the purpose of support ing by force the pretensions of these two Princes. Questions of disputed succession have always been deemed matters which might justly be considered as involving the political interests of foreign states ; and in such questions, wherever arising, the Powers of Europe have trim time to time, according as their inter , sts impelled them, held themselves at liberty to take an active part. Spain and Portugal had in 1834 a common interest in regard to those mutters ; and Great Britain and France thought it also conformable with their political views to unite with Spain and Portugal for the expulsion of the two Infantes from the P.ninsula. But when both the Infantes were finally so expelled, the letter of the stipulations of the treaty, and of its addi tional articles was, as regards armed interference in the affsirs of the Peninsula, entirely and completely fulfilled. It, however, either Don Miguel should re-appear in Portugal, or Don Carlos in Spain, with a view to put forward again, and support by force of arms, their respective pretensions, the spirit of the Quadruple Treaty would certainly be applicable to such a case ; and it would be fitting that the four Powers who were parties to that treaty should, in such an event, enter into a concert, with a view to frame new articles applicable to what might be the then existing state of things. But Don Miguel is not in Portugal ; nor has there been ally insurrection worthy of account in his name and in support of his pretensions to the crown. The civil war which has now unhappily for nearly six months afflicted Portugal has not sprung from the pre tensions of Don Miguel, nor did it originate with his partis .ns ; it arose from very different causes, and among a very different party. The contest does not turn upon the question who shall be Sovereign of Portugal, but upon the question who shall be the responsible Ministers of the Crown in Por tugal, and by what principles of administration the country shall be governed. These questions are widely different from questions of dynasty and succession. These questions are purely domestic in their bearing, and with them foreign Powers, except in very extreme cases, cannot be entitled to interfere. And, although it is certainly laid down by writers on the law of nations, that when civil war is regularly established in a country, and when the nation is divided into conflicting armies and opposing camps, the two parties in such war may be dealt with by other Powers as if they were two separate communities, and that such other Powers m iy take part with one side or the oilier, according to their sympathies and interests, just as they might in a war between se parate arid independent nations ; vet the case s in which such interference would b e justifiable are rare, and it is better and safer in general to leave each nation to decide for itself upon questions which relate to its own internal organisation and interests. If, therefore, on the one hand, her Majesty's Govern ment do nut think themselves justly called upon, in virtue of the stipulations of the Quadruple Treaty, to interfere in the civil war now goi.g on in Portugal, neither, on the other heed, do they deem it consistent with the general principles which have invariably guided the policy of Great Britain in regard to such matters, to afford unconditionally to the Queen of Por tugal direct assistance for the purpose of coercing that part of the Portuguese nation which is now in armed re-. sistance to her Majesty's authority. But the British Government, adverting to the close connexion which ancient treaties have established be tween the Crowns of Great Britain and Portugal, aed bearing in mind the many and great interests by means of which the relations of commerce have knitted to gether the two countries, cannot see with indifference the calamitous condition to which the continuance of the civil war is fast reducing the Portuguese nation, and cannot but feel the most ardent desire to wake every possible effort to co-operate in bringing that war to an end. Her Majesty's Government do not assume to them • selves the right or the competency to pass judgment upon the events which occasioned the outbreak of this civil war; but, seeing how long it has continued, what divisions it has created amongst all cla-ses of the people, and considerit g, moreover, now large a portion of the nation has taken a part in it, they are clearly of opinion that these troubles cannot be finally or permanently quelled by mere force of arms; mid that even it the Queen were to be enabled by fore ign aid to put down for the moment all open resistance to her authority, still no permanent tranquillity could be hoped for in Portugal unless the causes of discontent whtch have led to this outbreak, and which have fur so many months kept the insurrection alive, should by the exercise of her Majesty's royal authority be removed. It seems, therefore, to her Majesty's Government that the wisest course which the Queen of Portugal can pur. sue is to make known to the insurgents her gracious intentions fur the future, and f ermelly to call upon them to lay down tneir arms, and to return to their allegiance to the crown. It appears that the intentions of the Queen of Por tugal in this respect are such as befit a generous and enlightened Sovereign, desirous of healing the divisions which afflict her people, and of reuniting ull classes and parties of her subjects in loyal attachment to her person and throne. But it seems that her Majesty has been prevented from acting upon the impulse of her own judgment by the objections which have been made to such a course by the Marshal Saldanha, who has declared his determi nation to resign his command of the army of operations unless the Queen shall persist in endeavouring to put down the revolt by force of arms. This determination of Marshal Saldanha, of which it is not necessary tor her Majesty's Geverntnent to say what they think, no doubt places the Queen of Portugal in great embarrass ment; because, while on the one hand it is scarcely pos sible for her to furnish Marshal Saldanha with the milt, tary means which would be necessary to enable him to finish the civil war in the way in which he insists upon adopting, on the other hand it might he_ difficult for her Majesty to find any other commander who would eqaally enjoy the confidence of the troops, if the continued re sistance of the Junta should render further operations necessary. In this state of' things the British Government, mindful of the ancient alliance between the British and Portu • geese Crowns, is induced to step forward and to offer its assistance to her Most Faithful Majesty. The Queen of Portugal is desirous of making known to her revolted subjects at Oporto the gracious and . benevolent intentions which she is prepared to carry into execution, as soon as they shall have returned to their duty. Marshal Saldanha refuses to make that communication. Her Majesty's Government will, if desired, instruct Colonel Wylde to repair immediate!) to Oporto for the purpose of making it. Marshal Saldanha declares that he is unable to compel the Junta to accept any terms, however reasonable, of submission. Her Majesty's Government are prepared, if the Junta should refuse the reasonable arrangements which the Queen intends to make known to them, to enter into concert with the Governments of France and Spain, in order to settle the best means of affording to her Most Faithful Majesty such effectual assistance as may enable her to re-establish internal tranquillity in her dominions. The arrangements which her;Majesty's Government understand the Queen of Portugal as having determined to carry into effsct immediately upon the submission of the Junta, are the following:— First,—A full and general amnesty for all political offences committed since the beginning of October last; and an immediate recal of all persons who, since that time, have been seat out of Portugal for political reasons. Secondly,—An immediate revocation of all the decrees which have been issued since the beginning of October last, and which infringe upon. or conflict with, the esta blished law and constitution of the kingdom. Thirdly,—A convocation of the Cones as soon as the elections, which are to take place without delay, shall have been completed. Fourthly,—The immediate appointment of an Ad ministration, composed of men not belonging to the party of the Cabrals, nor being members of the Oporto Junta. If her Most Faithful Majesty will formally empower you to authorise Colonel Wylde to repair to Oporto, and to announce to the Junta that it is her firm determina tion to curry these measures into execution, provided they shall immediately lay down their arms and submit to her authority, you are also empowered and instructed by her Majesty's Government to authorise Colonel Wylde, if he should find the Junta hesitate as to the course which they should pursue, to intimate to the Junta, iu the first place, that these intentions of the Queenof Portugal having been declared though a British officer, the Crown of Portugal is bound totdh,atsoeeleGnrdelyat, Britain to fulfil them with good faith; and, that if the Junta should Mill continue the civil war, after having been informed of these the gracious intentions of their Queen, the British Government will concert with the Governments of France and of Spain the best means of affording effectual assistance to the Queen of Portugal, always, however, t o b e c l early understood be tween British and Port uguese Governments, that if Itbetihne g such concert should become necessary, and if the revolt should be put down by the measures so to he concerted, the Queen of Port uga l would equally intocarry effect all the above-mentioned arrangements, on the termina tion of the insurrection, except as regards the application of the amnesty to those persons who might thus have v rn er t n he m c e i n v t il con H t e in r u m ed a j t e o st c y a Ts ry Ge o , h w o a w r ever, can entertain no doubt that when these just and generous intentions of her Most Faithful Majesty are made known by Colonel Wylde to the Junta, that body will gratefully accept the coramunicati..n, and the civil war will at once be tenni , Hated, wLhout turtlitr effusion of Portuguese blood, sell without further destruction Portuguese property; ow , if ~uch should by the result, her M „testy's Govepnineut will derive the sincerest and M.s' heartfelt pleasure from having 'Reit instrumental in bringing to Pass 6° happy an event. You are instructed to read this dispatch to the tugut-se Minister for Foreign Aff4irs, and you will O r e e hun a copy of it, in order that he may thr better be abl to bring under the consideration of his colleagues the communication which it contains.—' am, &c., PALMERSTON. VISCOUNT PALMERSToN To SIR HAMILTON SEYMOUR. Foreign-office, April 5, 1847. Sir,—With reference to my other dispatds of this date I have to state, that if there should be any hesita• tion as to adopting the arrangement therein propos e d' you will employ all the arguments which e our own re' fiections and your knowledge of the condition of tbe country and of the state of parties will naturtwi suggest. If the Portuguese Government should consent to adopt. the plan o' proceeding which her Majesty's Governosent: have proposed, it is essentially neceszary that y o u should have some written record of her Most Faith Majesty's intentiens, as set forth in my ot h e r dispatet!. before Colonel Wylde sets out for Lisbon; because it! ritis would be in the highest degree improper that a B to officer shoule be the bearer of such an announcement _ the Junta, unless the Que e n of Portugal had previously' pledged herself to the British Government on the rost!el in question in such a manner as to make it impossib for any of her Ministers, officers, and advisers after; wards to break or evade any part of the e n g aged° so contracted towards her Majesty's Governm ent. The four conditions whi c h are enumerated in dl o other dispatch seem to her Majesty's Governs:reedit:i provide for everything (with one exception. whic h I j e presently advert to) which any reasonable Porturie could expect or wish for. A general and full amnesty is the usuiaarlgsee termination of a civil war, in which men of various clesse s have taken part; because to punt _ll all would in such cases be impossible, and to select pe r _.: ticular indivi uals for punishment would, as savouse7, more of pereueal vengeance than a teen-handed tl o f be useless as an example and impolitic as a Ine ss n u ; of administration. Such au amnesty, however, wf - ha lfe boefr:.l3Bo.ef he course not prevent the Queen from removing to far pay list such of the commiseioned officers of the s wish army now serving with the Junta as she might net (west to retain on full pay ; nor ought it to prevent t he from removing, if she s h ou ld think fit to do so, BO m a le nicipal or other civil officers who have taken pa r t in froal revolt, aid who hold their o ffices during pleas ure ' s iling the Crown; but there may be some Perseu s • min within this description who hate followed th e etret.e;44 laces in which they were employed, without been party leaders, and whom it may nut be neeee s '7' useful to remove. i s The recal of all persons sent out of the kingele d , to measure of indispensable necessity. The Pe rs 4dees whom this measure would apply are the Torre° Y prisoners and the Duke of Palmella. Wit!ch oaks It is needless to dw e ll up o n th e reasons it indispensably necess a ry that the Torres Vedras soners should be brought back without the least ob. With regard to the Duke of Palmella. it i s to I?e ,tbont served, that he was sent out of the kingdom ce calm, the be•.n • guilty or even accused of any offen calor the manner in which the order was given him was te , base lived to wound his feel ngs deeply, and is know n 4, his dine so. But the Duke of Palmella, from his r e : goo of political station, and his ample fortune, is a_,P ; ;l 5 be' considerable importance in the country; and lieved that the great body of the Portuguese near resent very much the treatment ehich be h, ° H o - to rienced. An invitation to the Duke of rad le the return, or a summons to him t o resume his else jibe as Chamber of Peers, would on this account be r -- well as just. kW, The immediate re-establishment of the ordina• ..siv delay and of the con.titution of the country, is too obeine"en-i, necessary to require to be enforced by any argil( the and no , a day sheuld he lost a‘ter the submission web Junta in revoking all the unconstitutional ed'e ts w ells have been issued since the resignation of the Pal Administrati.

The immediate appointment of an administratre which, if it cannot c o mm a nd the confidence of `he country (and, divided as the nation is, this could hardly expected of any men). may yet not eeeitee; distrust, appears to be a measure of the most 100 necessity, even if the civil war was to go on, °ln is communication with the Junta was to take place. at , easier for her Majesty's Gevernment to say what 111-to ought not to form part of such administration, dnt, suggest the names of th 'se who might properly coniPj. it. It is manifest that none of the Cabral party se t o members of the Oporto Jueta should, in the preSellt S"'" of things, be appointed to office. I have said, in the earlier part of this dispatch , th e there is one arrangement which seems indispensah''' but which is not mentioned in my public disc's% of this date ; and that is, the departure of n 01 _4 e-- from Lisbon. Unless M. Dietz leaves P o rtuqarl all other arran?ernt nts, and all attempts to reconcile the Court and the discontented part of the nation, will be vain; and Colonel W) lde must not, under any circus . stances leave Li,bun for Oporto until M Dietz has IL barked and sailed fhr England. His departure is a oaf qua non condition of any step whatever on the par t her Majesty's Government to interfere in any war the affairs of Portugal. It is needless to explain ',he well known reasous which render this condition indis pensable. If Colonel Wylde is sent to Oporto, it is desirablethlt he should go thither by sea in one of her Mei est i.: ships of war. He would in that manner apciet r'''.te-is Oporto more entirely a, the repres.-ntative of the B Government and the organ of th e G ov ernment at Val than it he entered Oporto fro m th e c amp o f h isrs es h Saedanha. lie would of course communicate with get; shal Saldanha, as occasion might require, after arrival at Oporto. If it shout be urged, as an objection to the ° inla id recommended by the British Government, that it ei ° ,l lead to the resignation of Marshal Saldanha, observe that, according to this plan, that resign° on would become comparatively unimportant; because, to the Junta submit, any general may be competent no command an army which, in that ease, will - 'r esist military operations to perform; and if the ' Junta Pe the in resistance, the concert which will follow betteeell h er Queen of Portugal's allies will render the task o ' - ffi t general so light and so easy that there are cers in her service who would be competent t o perforra It is most probable that the Junta will gladly 1104 1 the communication to be made to them; but, even if solow portion of the Junta should be fur holding out, there can be no doubt that many of the leading men them, and the great majority of their 11 anion . 11 o owers el declare themselves satisfied with the announced arrange' inputs. several • But the Court may demur. This is scarcely probable . You will in that case respectfully, but firmly, represent the desperate conditmn of the country, and the hoes' lessness of a succ,ssful and permanent termination or the civil war by an means within their present CO (nand.

That function must be performed by the ships of 1 1 of the Queen of Portugal; but the British ships rip,. may be off the port may be of use in keeping the " tuguese blockading force upon its proper ground. It is probable that a Spanish force will advance fro' Salamanca, and descend along the right book of the Douro, in order to co-operate with the force under DID shal Saldanha of the left bank, and thus to cut off s Oporto the supplies which that city now draws from 1 ' productive country to the north of it.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 10. The Dee, Royal Mail steam-steam-ship, Captain Wil iam Allan, arrived this morning at fire o'clock, with :he usual Mexican and West Indian mails.

The intelligence from the West India islands is un important. MEXICO. Tho news from the seat of war is of no great moment. There were still several Mexican officers detained in the Castle of St. Juan de 131loa ; in every respect the city was quiet, and had assumed the appearance of peace. The Americans were beginning to feel the effects of the climate severely, the hospitals being nearly full of in valids, and several deaths had taken place from sickness, and not in any way connected with the late engagement. This circumstance was, however, kept very quiet, as its publication only tended to discourage the American army. The last accounts received of General Scott were, that he was still progressing towards Mexico. He had reached Peratta, and was to leave that place on the Ed of April.

The second day at Hampton, out of compliment either to her Majesty or to her Majesty's "guineas," is pre scriptively the " grand" day, albeit, inferior in sporting interest to the first. Such, however, is the public will; and as the weather yesterday, unpromising enouuh in the early part of the morning, turned out favourable, there was the usual throng on the rail, the road, and the water, and the usual mob on the Hurst ; every stand was crammed, and the carriage inclosures were blocked up from the top of the course to the bottom. In brief there were all the out 4ard and visible signs of a " grand" day, and the lessees must have reaped a rich harvest at a very small outlay The late hour to which the racing was spun out must be our excuse for not entering so fully into details of the sport, as it may appear to deserve. It commenced shortly after two o'clock, and progressed with such utter disre gard of time, that the dead heat for the Queen's Plate was not run until after five o'clock, and it was seven o'clock before the Innkeepers' Race was con cluded. This ought to have been prevented, and we think the stewards are to blame for having suffered it. It will be seen that the dead heat for the Queen's Plate was run under very suspicious circumstances as regarded Blind Hookey. The rider, as we have stated, admits he " pulled" his horse, but denies he did so from dishonest motives. We trust it may have been so, but it is our duty to state, that the public opinion was very strong against him, and that it was not altered by the final re sult of the Plate.

Miles's Boy made the running to the up turn, but taking the wronr! side of the two posts, gave up his place, and shortly after rendered an objection needless by bolting. The Muley Moloch colt went on with the running to the distance, where Aliwal took it up, and won by three lengths. Cameo was restive at the post, and did not get off. Run in 4 min. 2 secs. Second heat.-2 to lon Aliwal. Blind Hookey made all the running, and, after a close race with Aliwal from the stand, won 133 a neck. Run in 4 min. 2 sec 4. Third heat.—The betting began at 2 to 1 on Blind Hookey, but underwent a sudden change, and left off at 2 and 3 to lon Aliwal. This movement led to a suspicion of foul play, that the manner in which the heat terminated served to strengthen. The old horse made slow running all the way, and long before he got to the distance, had the young one dead beat ; 011iver then pulled his horse, not, he alleges, for the purpose of losing the race, but that he might not ex pose his horse by winning too easy—he merely intended to win by a neck. The result was, that Aliwal got up at the last and made it a dead heat. The general feel ing was very strong, and the rider of Blind Hookey, on returning to scale, was openly charged by several gen tlemen, with baying run to lose the race. This heat was run in 4 min. 27 secs. Fourth Heat-5 to 4on Blind Hookey, who made good running from end to end, and after a fine race up the distance, won by a neck. Run in 4 min. 1 sec.

SUICIDE OF A SURGEON.—WORCESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.--A shocking occurrence has happened here to day, Mr. Benjamin Sheppard, surgeon of this city, having committed .1 most determined act of suicide. It appears that soon after twelve o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Sheppard went to a druggist in Mealcheapen-street, and asked for a phial of prussic acid, which he represented that he required for a patient. The druggist, whose name is Stringer, know ing Mr. Sheppard well, and giving full credit to his repre sentations, did not hesitate in furnishing him with what he required. Mr. Sheppard then, on some pretext, retired to Mr. Stringer's back sitting-room, and immediately after wards he was heard to fall to the ground. Mr. Stringer ran into the room and found Mr. Sheppard in the agonies of death, having swallowed nearly the whole of the deadly poison, a few drops of which would have been sufficient to destroy life. lie died almost instantaneously. We are glad to observe A. and R. Thwaites and Co., the celebrated Soda-water manufacturers, of Dublin, have opened a depot at No. 17, St. Albans-place, Hay market, for the sale of their Mineral Waters, where, we have no doubt, they will very soon receive the same distinguished patronage they have for so many years enjoyed in Dublin. Their quarter bottles of Soda-water are greatly patronised by the medical profession, for the use of invalids and ladies, as each bottle contains double the quantity of Sal Soda with half the usual quantity of liquid.
