It was known that &Martha continues seriously to
oppcse tte Conde Tnomsr, and that he is supported
by the leading characters of the moderato progress
t
paltwas said that the robbery of the Sete Cazas (one
of the custom-houses in Lisbon) is of an enormous
am-.unt, seriously compromising the Conde Tnomar.
The government hare already felt the e fleets of the
Spanish tariff. No gods are now despatched at the
leustom-hou-e.

The army, navy, public employees, pensions, and
dividends continued seriously in arrears, and the g
verameut was still seriously embarrassed for want of
money. They have lost all confidence In the money
market, and their own friends, the bank and agiotas,

paralyzed, Government securities merely nominaL
Bank totes 48 to ill per cent. discount, but the money
changers refuse to discount large sums. Exchange

The majority of the army are decidedly far the
Deka of Saldanba.

The discontent in the provinces against Conde
Thoroar was on the ixweese, and what with the

the revenue is about 300 oontoe (70,0001.), and the
government have allowed the parties to etcape; that
the plunder of the revenue to a large amount is
known to exist in all public departments throughout
the country—at the Arsenal, Corn-market, tax-
gatherers, and particularly at the Oporto Custom-
cense ; and the government refuse (Conde Thomar) to
look into the same, u the parties implicated are their
own creatures.

The government, at last, are convinced that they
have no chance of procuring a loan from ilie bank, or
even from their friends, the agrotas, on any terms.
But they have applied to the London market.
The bank gave their quarterly account into the

that day. This erposare of the bank ham
created the greatest consternation in the money
market and with hundreds concerned in the beak,
as it plainly proves they scarcely have the means
of paying the deposits.
