cabinet.
Various rumours of ministerial and opposition
movements were circulated in Paris consequent on
the decision of the Chamber of Peers. A meeting
was held at the house of M. Thies attended by all
the leading members of the different sections of the
opposition, to discuss the situation in which the
ministry is placed by the disclosures of M. Emile de
Girardin. After a lengthened discussion it was re-
solved that the subject should be brought before the
chamber, when that item of the budget, which includes
the subventions granted to the theatres, should be
brought forward. It will be recollected that one of
the charges of M. de Girardin is, that the ministry
connived at the sale of tha license for the new opera-
house for 100,000 f. to be paid to support a ministerial
journal.
A report was circulated on Tuesday night and
Wednesday, that the cabinet had resigned on
the decision of the Chamber of Peers being announced,
and the following list of a ministry was circulated.
Marsha Begeaud, President of the Council and Mi-
, nister of War; M. Mole, Minister of Foreign Affairs;
M. Hyppolite Peggy, interior; Count Dam, finances;
Milberg., justice ; Liadi&es, public instruction ;
Maret de IBord, or Bignon, public works; Lanyer,
agriculture and commerce ; and the Duke of Monte-
bello to retain the marine and colonies.
It was observed, in the Chamber of Deputies, on
Tuesday evening, that immediately on the arrival of
the news of the division in the Chamber of Peers, M.
Duchatel left the ministerial bench.
In the appel nominal or call of the house in the
upper chamber on Tuesday, previous to the Girar-
dm inquiry, the names of General Cutti;2res and M.
Testa were observed to be omitted, having been
erased from the peerage for the present.
L' Union Monarehique, usually informed on each
topics, says that M. Saragossa was hourly expected
j from Madrid at the Spanish embassy, with a mission
from the Moderado party to General Narvaes. The
object of this mission was reported to be to induce the
general to return without delay to Madrid ; the
party:promising for the future strict obedience to him,
and that he should meet a flattering reception at the
palace. There appears to be nothing in our private
advices to confirm this.
Le Courtier Francais says that news was circu-
lated in the Chamber on Tuesday which spread con-
sternation through the ministerial benches. It was
said M. Teete has threatened that, if the ministers
who were his former colleagues, MM. Guizot and
Duchatel, now desert him, he will himself make further
disclosures, and declare before the Court of Peers all
that he has known and seen while in office.

MADRID, JUNE 18.
The Faro had just confected two columns of its to-
day's leader, full of bitter pills for Senor Pacheco, bristling
with indignant questions, sighing like a furnace for the
fallen majesty of Portugal, when suddenly in the career
of its foaming rhetoric it stopped all et once, threw itself on
its haunches, and after five mysterious d0t5..... wound up
with an announcement that the Lisbon courier had just
rushed in with news that gave a new turn to matters alto-
gether, and that now, if the ministry acted with becoming
spirit, it, the Faro, should be delighted to shake hands,
and lay its columns at the feet of the cabinet. Yon will guess
what this news was—nothing more nor less than the rupture
upon the rejection by Donna Maria of the Marquis de
LoulVs demands upon the part of the junta, the renewal of
hoetilities, the sailing of the combined naval forces for
Setubal, to put down Sades Bandeire, and the march of
Concha upon Oporto. This intelligence, which has lifted
the moderadoe out of the slough of their despair, has in-
flieted a corresponding blow upon the hopes of the Spanish
liberals. Put in heart by the decree of amnesty, and the
apparent triumph of the junta over the obstinate pretensions
of the Queen, they had already drawn up an enthusiastla
profession of their sympathy with the coistitutional
addressed to Das Antes, lauding that patriot for his spirited
protest against foreign intervention.
This address was published in the Clamor Publico of yes-
terday. The precipitate rapture of negotiations and renewal
of hostilities will, without doubt, excite suspicion that this
was a result proposed beforehand, and that the allied powers
snapt at the pretext of the Marquis de Loule's &mend on
the part of the junta, that the Duke of Palntella and Li-
bra:ilia should be admitted into the ministry •, and at the
riots in Lisbon (which aro attributed to Cabral and kis
mouchards) to turn round upon the junta and trash
the constitutional party. The tenor of Pacheco's instruc-
tions to Senor Ay.llon, the Spanish ambassador at Lisboa,
seems couched in a temperate and proper tone enough.
But it becomes daily more avid( la that the portion of the
protocol of May 21, which leaves the amount of Spanish
troops intervening in Portugal to be settled by the govern-
ments of these two countries between themselves, was an
error pregnant with mischief, and left a loopbele for
aggression upon the liberties of the Portuguese, of which the
Moister diplomacy of the Portuguese minister at the court of
Madrid will not fail to take advantage.
I have already called your attention to facts which show
that the whole cabinet is gradually quitting its neutrality
and marching to reoderadoum. Senor Bettavides, a mem-
ber of the party of Narnea, bestows upon the junta of
Oporto the epithet of " sac- ilmious." The Heraldo, which is
pointed out as the organ of Muffed.", another of the Nat,
Teti party, ever since it heard of the amnesty has burst into
wilder ejaculations of sorrow than Rachel weeping for her
children, at concessions so " humiliatieg to the dignity, so
menacing to the security, of the Portuguese crown. But
since the latest news, instead of dealing any. longer in
what French journalism calls de funestes oalicznations, it
assumes suddenly to-day, like the Faro, a radiant aspect
almost of triumph.
The Faro, that modest and temperate organ of the
moderadoe, has reapt at the doubt expressed by
the Chronicle whether England would have any right
to prevent Spanish troops from entering Portugal in answer
to an application for assistance on the part of the Queen. If
we surrender a point of this magnitude, we may enpect the
very first moderado government in Spain to invade Portu-
gal; for there is no question but that Doane Mariawound
be glad of as many Spanish bayonets as she could get, to
back her arbitrary pretensions ; while, on the other hind,
as little doubt exists with regard to the alacrity with which
the moderacke would jump at such a summon' to snuff out
the constitutional rights of the Portuguese.
The " dignity and security" of the crown, whether of her
most Faithful, or most Christian Majesty, means in the
language of the moderado party, according to the daily
avowal of their organs, an entire *empties from amenability
to the laws of the constitution, and the maintenance
of that irrespensibiiity, and the protection of its usur-
pations by an armed force. We may, therefore, ex-
pect to see the independence of the other contracting
powers which has been left in the protocol to Spain
and Portugal, terminate in arrangements between those two
governments which may Imam esepowseir sabereareing

mical congress they have invited to meet on that day3n this

have been taken by M. de Broacher*, the praideat of the
association, and the secretarial, to give publicity to the pro-
jected congress. The success which has attended similar
conventions of the cultivators of science in different parts of
Europe—the general scientific assemblies in England and
Italy, the assemblies of jurists, of philologists, as., in Ger-
many—is of good augury for the Belgian ampere& Thaw

GEItMANY.—Pitussin.—BERLIN, JUNE 18.—
The discussion on the project of law relating to the Jews
becomes every day more interesting and more important.
This afternoon the chamber of the three estates voted, by •

gs •
lishing certain reetrlcdens on the °oatmeal:um/As rids,.
Jews were voted rues. rots. Whilst the elective chamber
wee thus adverting the principle of religious liberty, the
hereditary Homo of Peers wee not idle to the clause ef eon-
stithtioual freedom. The reader, of the Doily Newt are
aware that the former body, not content with the royal
promise to ',lnvoke the Diet after the expired= of four
years, drew up a petition to his majesty in favour of an
earlier assembling of that body, and particularly in favour of
a regular periodical convocation. All lovers of constitutional
rights will be delighted to bear that, on this very afternoon,
the House of Lords voted, by a majority of more than two-
thirds (the legally required number of votes), in favour of
Count Von Arnim's amendment, which proposed forwarding
a petition to the King, praying him to convoke the
Diet periodically, according to the spirit of former laws,
and also pro basso publico. This is, in fact, the
mat important vote of the session, inasmuch as it
was feared that the noble assembly would not coincide with
the other house on the above point, and inasmuch as the
reference to former laws proves now that both cham-
bers claim rights based on previous statutes, whilst they
look forward for favours to his majesty's kindness, prudence,
and wisdom. The pleasure which this vote will give to every
English reader will be enhanced, when I add, that the abo-
lition of the Ausschiirse (committees to which, under certaia
circumstances, the most important privileges of the embed
diet were made over) was also voted this day in the Mond
of Peers, by a majority nearly equal to the one which meted
the other great question. This victory of the constitutioae I
aline is the more important, inasmuch as H.R.H. the Primes
of Prussia very warmly opposed Count Von Arnim's amend-
ment iu a long and studied speech. It is scarcely neceesary
to add, that H.R.H. is the heir to the throne of him royal
brother. The municipal elections In this capital have termi-
nated in favour of three or four well-known liberals, amongst
others Professor Von &sumer.

AMERICA AND

MEXICO.

The following is a more detailed account than we
were yesterday enabled to give of the news by the
Henry Clay, Captain Nye, arrived at Liverpool :—We
have New York papers to the 7th instant (inclusive).
The Mexican dates are Brazos, 20th ; Vera Cruz,
22nd ; and Jalapa, 21st, May.
Up to the date of the latest despatches General Scott wu
atilt at Jalapa. Be had been joined there by Mr. Trist, the
second officer of the State Department. The government at
Washington had taken great pains to mystify the public on
the subject of Mr. Trist's mission. He proceeded to New
Orleans under pretest of going to see a sick brother in
I,onisiana, and embarked for Mexico clandestinely in a re•
venue cutter at the mouth of the Mississippi. The Washing-
ton correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer
states, contidently, that Mr. Trist has carried out a draft
treaty, and that Mr. Buchanan is prepared to follow him if
the compliment of his presence would increase the readiness
of the Mexicans to negotiate. To the desire on the part of
the United States government to resume negotiations
isk attributed General Scott's discharging so many regi-
ments of volunteers; it is alleged he seeks an excites
SOT not pressing on immediately to Mexico, in order to
wait the effects of his proclamation on the Meeke',
and to learn whether the result of the presidential election is
favourable to the peace or the war party. The tense to be
offered to Mexico are said to be: That the United &atm
shall claim no indemnity for their war expenses ; that New
bfexico and (Upper ?) California shall be ceded to the
United States ; and that three millions of dollars shall be
paid to Mexico by the United States as compensation for the
ceded territory. In the event of these terms being accepted
by the Mexican government, it is believed that Mr. Polk
weak' mammon, not the two hours of congress, but merely
the senate, to ratify the treaty. General Scott is also un-
&Wood to be availing himself of his stay at Jalapa to obtain
complete and accurate information respecting the 1114001C44
of Mexico.
General Worth entered Puebla on the afternoon of the
15th of May, after a sharp skirmish with a party of lancers.
It k said that Santa Anna, who was at the same time latish-
lag forward, at the bead of such troops as he bad drawn
together, in the direction of the capital, only left Puebla a
few hours before Worth entered it, and that the resistance
offered by the lancers was meant to cover his evacuation of
ilia town. By some he was reported to have halted at San
Martin, 28 leagues from Puebla, on the new road to Mexico;
by others to have advanced as far as Rio Frio, which is not
much more than 12 leagues from that city. Different
ybjects were attributed to his march: one version repre-
sented him as pushing on to overawe Congress by his troops,
And thus secure his election as president ; another that he
contemplated making another stand at the strong position of
Rio Frio. The number of collected Mexican troops between
the Americans and the capital was stated at 11,000 to 16,000
men. Gen. Worth entered Puebla with 3,600.
A train of 270 waggons and 500 peck mules, laden with
provisions, hospital stores, and specie, for the American
army, left Vers Crus on the 11th of May, and arrived =-
attacked at Jalapa on the 14th. HedfileataAanaremised
