PORTUGAL

At the opening of the Portuguese Corte; at Lis-
bon, on the 4th inst., in virtue of a commission from
his Majesty Dom Pedro V., since deceased, the Pre-
sident of the Council of Ministers read the following
discourse of the Crown, conceived in terms of which
a part is, unfortunately, not in accordance with
events which have since occurred.

Worthy Peers of the Kingdom, and Gentlemen Deputies
of the Portuguese nation,—ln execution of the decree with
which you have just been made acquainted, the ministry, Ia
the terms of the commimion which it has received frees the
King, opens the legislature conformably with the directions of
the constitution of the monarchy and' of Use law of Judy Li,
1857. His Majesty happily finds himself 'lard resurveyed
from his late malady, sa well as the infante D. Angola*.
His Highness the Inmate L. Fernando, after a seldom
"Ines which gave birth to grave Maquietudes, finds himself,
thanks to Divine Providence, in a satisfactory state.
la the interval which has elapsed since the dosing of the
late session, the happy marriage of het Highsem the In-
fanta Dona Antonia has token place with his Highness the
PROM of HobensollemSigmaringen.
lu the brief period since the late session the government,
has been actively occupied with the execution of the impor-
tant measures adopted by the legislative council.
His Majesty continues to receive from the allied
sovereigns the moat satisfactory assurances of friend.
ehip and of good undentanding. Tie mimed' as
his Majesty will present to you at the proper
time certain propoeitions and instructions relative to the
several branches of the administration of the kingdom, and
of the colonial provinces. His Majesty, full of con.
()deuce in your zeal and intelligence, depose upon.
your fresh and active co-operation, in order to assure the
natural credit of the political institutions which we have
the advantage to poems, and to develop more and more
the prosperity of the kingdom to which we have the honour
to belong.
The legislature is opened.
The l'ays states that incorrect statements have
been in circulation relative to the nature of the
disease which carried off the late King. Typhus
fever, it seems, does nut exist in Lisbon, and there
is no foundation whatsoever for the apprehensions
entertained for the safety of the new King upon his
arrival in his capital. It has been sacertaieed that
the illness of his late Majesty and of the Princes oc-
curred from the following circumstances.
The King and his brothers had spent the day in
shooting in one of the royal parks, situated in the pm-
vinee of Villa-Viciosa, where a species of tertian fever
is generally prevalent during the summer months.
They were seised with this disease, which subse-
quently turned into typhus. The last despatches
from Lisbon give the most satisfactory account of
the sanitary state of the town.
The last amounts of the health of the Prince
Augusto will be found among our telegraphist
intelligence. The arrival of the new King was
hourly expected in Lisbon. In point of fact a
despatch to Paris by way of Spain announces that
the corvette steamer the Bartholomew Dias, having
on board the new sovereign of Portugal, his Majesty
Louis 1., was on the 12th, in the evening, off
Corunna. The corvette, which was not steaming,
had encountered heavy gales in the Bay of
Biscay. She was expected to reach Lisbon on the
morning of the 14th.
