NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 7.—The Falmouth Cornubian of
Thursday the sth, gives the following :—The Transit, steam
vessel, arrived to-day, bringing very important and very
welcome news from Portugal. She left Lisbon on the 29th

ult., having put into the Tagus on her passage from the
Mediterranean, and brings intelligence of the formation of

a new Ministry, composed for the west part of th same
men as upheld the country through the almost insuperable

difficulties attendant on the civil war by which it was re-
cently desolated. Senhor Freire is Prime Minister ; Jose
de Silva Carvalho, Minister of Finance : the Duke of Ter-

ceira, Minister of the War Department ;, D'AlmeMa, Mi-
nister of Justice ; and Aguilar, Minister of the Interior.
The Duke of Palmella isto come to England to arrange the
Treaty of Commerce between the two countries. The last

accounts from Portugal were of the most desponding cha
ratter. The Ministry of Campos had been dissolved—the
Treasury was empty, pay of the troops in arrear—andp;eneral
dissatisfaction prevailed. We now find that the state of affairs
had already undergone an entire change. Carvalho had
found means (which Campos could not) to pay the troops,
who bad become ripe for a revolt. It is said that the
Duchess of Braganza advanced him 200.000/. immediately-

on his reappointment. We regret to have to add that the
question of the Commander-in-Chief of the army had not
been settled. The Cortes object, on constitutional grounds,
to the appointment of the Prince, which the Queen strongly

insists on. It is said that his Highness has threatened to
quit the country and return to Saxe Coburg if the appoint-
ment is not conferred on him. If this be true, he deserves
to be sent home. The Express packet sailed from Lisbon

for this port on the 25th ultimo.
The Bellerophon, SO, Captain Jackson, C. 8., was taken
out of the basin on Tuesday ; and the Vanguard, SO, Cap-
tain Hon. D.. P. Bouvcrie, on the following day.
The Swift packet, Lieut. Welch, arrived on Tuesday
from Chatham, and sailed on the same day for Falmouth.
The Quail cutter was paid off into ordinary yesterday.
The Emerald (tender), sailed on Friday to bring back
volunteer seamen for the ships fitting out.
(The Royal Tar steamer, in the employ of the Queen of
Spain, will arrive at this po‘rt on Wednesday next, to take
recruits to Santander. The Vixen brig, for Lisbon, from
London, came into harbour this evening, with damage, for

repairs.
The schooner Agnes, which was run down about two
months since, by the Gladiator, New York packet, and
which now lies sunk in 16 fathoms water, near the Edgar
buoy, at Spithead, Was sold, a few days since, for 6001. ;
her cargo was principally hemp, some tallow, and oil, and
23 tons of iron ballast, with smaller articles. She is to be
raised with dockyard assistance, which the purchaser must
pay for, and will be an interesting performance. The wreck
of the Eliza, stranded on Littlehampton beach, was soil, a
few days since, to Mr. Isemonger, of that town, for 4731.
The collier Good Intent is sunk in the channel, about two
miles and a half from the'Ower's light vessel.
In Hathour—Britannia, Vanguard, Bellerophon,
.Pem-
broke, Roy ^1 George, Excellent, Buffalo, and Moira trans-
port. - - - .

FRENCH PAPERS.

-CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SITTING OF MAY 7.
M. Teste, Vice-President.
The Order of the Day was the report of the Committee
of Petitions.
M. Champanbet (the reporter) read two petitions, the
first of which, signed by M. Pichat, a merchant of Pans,
prayed the Chamber to suppress the licensing system of
public gaming-houses (hazard tables), or at least to dimi-
nish the number of those establishments in the capital ; the
second, on the part of M. Begot, required the Clamber to
commence a prosecution agalnet various gaming-houses for
the restitution of 4500,000 francs, of which they had de-
frauded the city of Paris. The Committee had paitf spe-
cial attention to the subject refbrred to in the above peti-
tions, and had examined into the various allegations
support of the prayer of the petitioners. it was said those
houses were kept open at all hours, and that tradesmen,
bankers' clerks, and minors, were permitted to enter them,
and also that a considerable portion of the sums which
ought to be paid to the city of Paris, was fraudulently
withheld. The result of the investigation of the Com-
mittee, upon these complaints, showed that the
houses in question were regulated
~by the Police a 3
well as they possibly could be. It then examinel
the matter under two points of view,—first, that of mora-
lity ; and, secondly, as to the possibility of remedying the.
evil by the suppression of those houses. As to the first,
elere could be no doubt of the immorality of gaming tables,
but it appeared that they were of the class of necessary
evils, and that their suppression would not. destroy the
syatem of gambling. Besides, if they were suppressed, the
city of Paris would be deprived of a revenue of 5,000,000 f.,
which was applied for the support of the hospitals, and
nevertheless gaming would be carried on to the same ex-
tent in private houses as was done in London, where such
eitablishments, from their extreme immorality, were called
hells—cefers.—(Laughter.) He should remind them of
the opinion of Casimir Perier, who, speaking open this
question, had said that the suppression of' gaining-houses
could not be effected without leading to serious inconve-
nience. 'Faking all these points into consideration, the
Committee thought it their duty to recommend that the
above petitions he referred to the Minister of the Interior.
M. de la Rochefoucault supported the prayer of the pe-
titions, and cited numerous facts to show the demoralizing
effect of gambling-houses ; ir. his opinion, they were the
nurseries of all kinds of crime—suicide, assassinations, and
robberies. For to those haunts tradesmen, bankers' and
merchants' clerks, and minors, were seduced, and forced
from one crime to another. Not later than a few months
since, a student of medicine, named La Foret. who had
gained 4,000 f. at rouge et noire in the Palais Royal, was
followed from the garning-table,, robbed, and assassinated
in the Rue Mazarine. it was *most singular that a Go-
. vernment. with such facts before their eyes, could perse-
vere in supporting so immoral a syetem, merely because its
suppression would deprive the city of nvie, 015,000,000E_ ;
he, therefore, thought that this matter was deserving of the
immediate consideration of the Minister of the Interior, to
whom he bad no objection that the petitions should be re-
ferred. . .

M. Pugabe said he intended to :vote for the petitions
being referred to the Minister of the Interior, but :n hi; ab-
sence, be should be glad to hear a few ~vords in et:planation
friar) the President ol'the Council as to what measures the
Government, was likely to adopt upon this important subject.
The President of the Council said, that no doubt serious
complaints had been m. de to the Government with respect
to gaming-houses, end I.he petitioners were not the only
persons who had addressed the Cr.hhwt for tio supprAsion
of such establishments:. But it did not follotv from those
complaints that solemn engagements were to be violated.
It would have been but right had those petitioners pointed
out the manner in whi:4l the Governnent could replace
the sum of 5,000,000 f. vhich was thus to be sacrificed.
The Ministers were asked Nitat they intended to do upon
this question, but he was not bound to give an answer to
the Chamber upon this point. There were two things to
be considered—first, as to the dignity of the suppression ;
and secondly, as to the mode cif replacing the 5,000,000 E
There could be no difference of opinion as to the immora-
lity of gaming, but it. was difficult to know how the evil
was to be remedied. Besides, it was not likely that the
Government could, so soon after Suppressing the lottery,
consent to abandon so large a sum hq 5000,000 f. without
any certain mode of supplying such a n'sAcieney.
After some observations from M. Laft:tte, the Chamber
decided upon referring the above petitions to the President
of the Council and Minister of the Interior co:jointly.
