PORTUGAL.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the
20th October.
It was thought that the demand of the United
States for compensation for the destruction of the
Globe privateer, in 1812, would be withdrawn. The
American Minister has acknowledged the force of the
plea urged by Portugal, that the attacking force was
too great to allow the Governor of Fayal to afford
her protection. It is said that the American Minister
m London has ascertained that Lord PALMERSTON
will not allow Portugal to be annoyed on this matter.
The discussion of the Macao afra;r is adjourned
luntil communications shall have been received from
Captain KEPPEL.

LONDON, SATURDAY

object the bolstering up of monoply in land, repealed;
land should be made as free as any chattel, to buy and
sell like a horse in a stable. There was an insecurity
of tenure too felt by every tenant in Ireland—
every landlord in Ireland was in the habit
of appropriating whatever improvement their tenants
made upon the land. He had visited Skibbereen—a town
which every ono had heard of—and there be had seen a
scene of misery which would strike a feeling of horror
into every man of the meeting if he had time to go
throueh them. A new system of legislation was needed
for Ireland ; the first act of the Parliament, when it
met next session, ought to be to pass a measure which
should give to every Irish tenant every security and
compensation for every halfpenny that he spent on his
farm ; and he hoped that this would only be the
first of many beneficial acts of legislation for that
afflicted country. The Hon. Gentleman, then sat down
amid repeated cheering.
Mr. TAYLOR, of the Birmingham Land Society, then
briefly proceeded to explain to the meeting the principle
of the Forty Shilling Land Society, and the numerous
meeting then separated with a vote of thanks to the
Chairman.

CENTRAL CrERISIANY.
The Kolner Zeitung contains the following electric
dispatch :
The Committee of Administration, with the excep-
tion of the representatives of Hanover and Saxony, are
agreed that the elections fur the German Parliament
shall take place on the 15th of January. Baron Wen-
genheim and Baron Zeschau, Plenipotentiaries of
Hanover and Saxony, have informed the Committee of
Administration that urgent business will in future pre-
vent their attending the sittings of the said Committee.
" In the L9wer House of the Prussian Parliament the
King's CommissioLer, Baron Radowitz, replied to a
question which has lately been put by M. Beckerath.
In spite of the protest of Wurtemburg, Bavaria, and
Hesse Homburg, the Prussian Government insists on
fixing the 15th of January, 1850, for the general election
of members for the German Parliament. The Parlia-
ment is to sit at Erfurt."
The Hannoverische Zeitung publishes a declaration
of the dissentient Plenipontentiaries of Hanover and
Saxony, protesting that any decisive steps, such as
the Convocation of a German Parliament, must tend
to increase the difficulties and divisions of Germany.

1850, half a-Crown.
Raphael refers to the fulfi'ment of his predictions in the Prophetic
Messenger for 1849, particularly to the fatal climax the cholera at-
tained on the 10th of September, the amount of deaths numbering 432
in the metropolis on th 4 one day. The predi tions for September,
1842, open with this memorable notice One of the most important
of the configurations of the month is the quartile aspect of the sun and

THE GENTLEMAN AND THE CAT. NOVEL
WAGER.-A curious and novel match took place a few
days ago, within fourteen miles of lereford, which ex-
cited great interest to all present, in which a young
gentleman undertook for a wager to lap up a saucer of
milk in less time than a cat. They commenced at the
same time, but on account of the gentleman being seized
with a violent fit of laughter, which greatly. impeded his
progress, the cat was enabled to gam a great lead;
however, the gentleman having recovered himself, he
soon caught her up, and won cleverly by two table
spoonfuls, much to the surprise of all present. What
made it more laughable was, the circumstance of several
bets being made. The odds were three to two on the
cat at starting, which was soon changed to evens.—

LUXEMBURGH.

LUXERIBURGH, DEC. 7.—Next week the Chambers
will have to pass their judgment respecting the
accession of the grand duchy to the federative state.
It will likewise come to a decision, on the proposition
of some of its memhers, as to whether the State shall
charge itself with the guaranteeing an interest of 8 per
cent. upon a capital of 6,000,000, for making Luxem-
burgh enter into the labyrinth of railways.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
COPENHAGEN, DEC. B.—The elections for the
Second Chamber tortninftted on the ith.

They produced a great agitation in the i apitil—an
extraordinary sensation—to which we are not at all
accustomed here. Since the revolution in the two
Duchies the real interest ih Denmark is considered
by one party to be the preservation of the whole of
Schleswig, while others would be content with
retaining the northern part, where the Danish
language and Danish customs have ever prevailed.
'The two parties who split upon this ques-
tion have energetically disputed for victory
through the electors, the former party, at the
head of which is the present Ministry, have carried
the day and turned all their competitors out of the
electoral urn. Thus the party which wishes to retain
the whole of Schleswig, and, according to the pro
gramme issued, will not tolerate the severance of
even a single village, will have a great majority in
the Chambers. 'Whether, therefore, the negotia-
tions for peace be carried on at Berlin, at
Copenhagen, or upon neutral ground, it may
be regarded as certain that the proposition which
has been so often canvassed, the division of
Schleswig, is no longer admissible ; but the basis
will be founded upon the plan that Denmark shall re-
tain possession of the entire province intact.
A Copenhagen correspondent of the German Re-
form denies that the Danish Government has acceded
to the proposition of the appointment of Danish end
Schleswig-Holstein umpires, and declares that no,
thing vs hatever has yet been submitted to the KING
respecting the direct negotiations already commenced
between the KING and the Stadtholdership, except
that the KING has replied to the conciliatory letter of
Messrs. Iteverimow and BISSELER in an equally con-
ciliatory tone.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, DEC. 14. The Right

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE.—Among the various projects of law
lately submitted to the Chambers by the Minister of
Finance, one of the most important is that of the
navigation laws. By this project "The transit and
navigation dues upon the Rhine are to be abolished,
and the differential duties on colonial trade abro-
gated. All flags, on condition of reciprocity, are to
be placed on an equal footing with the Netherlands
flag. Premiums and other privileges hitherto en-
joyed by the Netherlands fl to be abolished; the
coasting trade of the colonies is, however, reserved
to the national flag alone. Shi?s of every nation,
which act upon the system of reciprocity, shall not
pay higher dues of any kind in the Netherlands har-
bours than is paid by Netherlands vessels; and vessels
bui.t abroad may obtain home charters."
If this project of law be passed, a gigantic stride will
have been taken on the road to free trade, and would
greatly diminish the incessant and frequently unjust
reproaches now imputed to the Dutch colonial
trading system.—Allgemeine Zeitung.

LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1849,

The inveterate hostility with which the Hunga-
rian movement has been hitherto regarded by the
vast majority of English journalists is already be-
ginning to give tokens of its ultimate disappearance.
Some of the most virulent opponents of the Magyars
are even at this early pericd evincing a disposition
to diminish the violence of their aspersions, and are
actually recognising justice and reason in what they
had up to the present moment stigmatized as a
flagrant and unjustifiable rebellion. Within the pre-
sent week indeed it has been actually confessed by
one of the principal among our morning Contempo-
raries, that in their estimation, the royal diadem of
Hungary and the imperial diadem of Austria have
never been united, although they have been settled
upon the same dynasty. The acknowledgment is
sufficiently significant : inasmuch as it is a virtual
recognition of the rights of the Btagyars to vindicate
their national independence, especially at a period
when that independence is violated by shameful
perfidies, and threatened openly with yet greater en-
croachments. Upon the settlement of the difficulty the
merits of the question are dependant. For if it be
demons rated beyond denial that the crown of the
Hungarian monarchy has throughout past centuries
emwspr r eil totally apart from the crown of the Austrian
'Pt is evident that any assumption of authority
t..-, -77 .- pa of the latter Government in its relations

PRUSSIA.

The Paris journal the Ordre, the organ of M.
ODILLON BABRoT, declares that there is no probabi-
lity of any war arising between Austria and Prussia
on the German ¶uestion. " The armament:, are not
made in contemplation'of a general war," say s the
Ordre, " they are raised for another sort of object,
and are directed against Parliaments." This journal
says—" This campaign will be anti parliamentary.
The army of Bohemia is, as all the world knows,
destined for Saxony ; the army of the Tyrol, is
destined for Wurtemburg. The Bavarian troops,
being supported by the regiments of the Tyrol, will be
able to keep down Franconia and Swabia, and as
for ithe rest of Germany, the arm of Prussia will
suffice."

FRANCE.

" Conversation turns at present," says the eorsaire,
"on an extensive tour which the President of the
Republic is to commence on January 25 after the
elections. According to the on dit, he is to visit
by short journeys all the centre of France, from
Paris to Lyons, and from this latter town to make
an excursion in the south to Marseilles. The ma-
jority, it is said, has recommended this journey,
become indispensable since the most violent Socialist
doctrines are being disseminated in our departments."
" Amongst the guests at the ball at the Hotel-de-
Ville," :says the Siecle," was an Arab, named Si
Chaldi, caid of the province of St. Constantine,
one of the most distinguished poets of Algeria.
Si Chaldi was over in Paris in 1845 when the
Arab deputation came at the expense of the Go-
vernment to visit France. The President of the
Republic seeing him in one of the rooms, went up,
and shaking him by the band spoke to him with
kindness. The Arab guest replied in his figurative
language :—' The tempest of popular discontent has
forced into exile the Sultan of France, whom I for-
merly paid my respects to. I now wish that the
head of the Republic may render the people of France
so happy that their blessings may give him an im-
perishable crown.' Si Chaldi is right; to render a
people happy is, in fact, the highest policy."
A letter from Algiers, of December 5, says :

" MM. LestiboudUis, Duguesne, and Gennissei, mem-
bers of the Legislative Assembly, in the excursion
of ten days which they lately made in company with
the Prefect of Algiers, visited Blidab, Mediate,
Milianah, Douera' and a number of villages ;
they also visited the agricultural colonies near
Milianah and the Mitidia. Then after passing a night
at Marbugo, where the inhabitants are still encamped,
they returned to Algiers, and were present at a sitting
of the Agricultural Commission lately organized. The
Arab chiefs received the travellers very kindly, and
appeared to take a pride in pointing out to them
the ameliorations which they have effected in breeding
oxen and horses. The travellers could themselves
judge of the importance of some of the markets in
the interior, as they were present at that of Arba
de Djendel, where they saw abundance of oil, wool,
honey, butter, wax, &c. They inspected with interest
700 houses and more, which have bees raised in the
plains of the Chelif, by the care of M. de Fenelon, the
head of .the Arab Bureau, and which are occupied by
natives. Amongst the objects of European cultivation,
which is gaining ground, must be noted tobacco, the
crop of which for 1850 will be probably ten times greater
than for 1849."

PRUSSIA.

The Paris journal the Ordre, the organ of M.
()DILLON BABROT, declares that there is no probabi-
lity of any war arising between Austria and Prussia
on the German question. " The armaments are not
made in contemplation-of a general war," says the
Ordre, " they are raised for another sort of object,
and are directed against Parliaments." This journal
says—" This campaign will be anti parliamentary.
The army of Bohemia is, as all the world knows,
destined for Saxony ; the army of the Tyrol, is
destined for Wurtemburg. The Bavarian troops,
being supported by the regiments of the Tyrol, will be
able to keep down Franconia and Swabia, and as
for ithe rest
.of Germany, the arm of Prussia will
suffice."
London, England, 1849-12-15

HOLLAND.

TUE lIAGLJE.—Among the various projects of law
lately submitted to the Chambers by the Minister of
Finance, one of the most important is that of the
navigation laws. By this project "The transit and
navigation dues upon the Rhine are to be abolished,
and the differential duties on colonial trade abro-
gated. All flags, on condition of reciprocity, are to
be placed on an equal footing with the Netherlands
flag. Premiums and other privileges hitherto en-
joyed by the Netherlands fkg, to be abolished; the
coasting trade of the colonies is, however, reserved
to the national flag alone. Ships of every nation,
which act upon the system of reciprocity, shall not
pay higher dues of any kind in the Netherlands har-
bours than is paid by Netherlands vessels; and vessels
built abroad may obtain home charters."
If this project of law be passed, a gigantic stride will
have been taken on the road to free trade, and would
greatly diminish the incessant and frequently unjust
reproaches DOW imputed to the Dutch colonial
trading systern.—Allgemeine Zeituiig.

LUXE NIBURGII.

LUXEMBURGH, DEC, 7.—Next week the Chambers
will have to pass their judgment respecting the
accession of the grand duchy to the federative state.
It will likewise come to a decision, on the proposition
of some of its memhers, as to whether the State shall
charge itself with the guaranteeing an interest of 3 per
cent. upon a capital of 6,000,000, for making Luxem-
burgh enter into the labyrinth of railways.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
COPENHAGEN, DEC. B.—The elections for the
Second Chamber terminated on the sth.

They produced a great agitation in the capital—an
extraordinary sensation—to which we are not at all
accustomed here. Since the revolution in the two
Duchies the real interest in Denmark is considered
by one party to be the preservation of the whole of
Schleswig, while others would be content with
retaining the northern part, where the Danish
language and Danish customs have ever prevailed.
The two parties who split upon this ques-
tion have energetically disputed for victory
through the electors, the former party, at the
head of which is the present Ministry, have carried
the day and turned all their competitors out of the
electoral urn. Thus the party which wishes to retain
the whole of Schleswig, and, according to the pro-
gramme issued, will not tolerate the severance of
even a single village, will have a great majority.in
the Chambers. Whether, therefore, the negotia-
tions for peace be carried on at Berlin, at
Copenhagen, or upon neutral ground, it may
be regarded as certain that the proposition which
' has been so often canvassed, the division of
Schleswig, is no longer admissible ; but the basis
will be founded upon the plan that Denmark shall re-
tain possession of the entire province intact.
A Copenhagen correspondent of the Germ & Re-
form denies that the Danish Government has acceded
to the proposition of the appointment of Danish and
Schleswig-Holstein umpires, and declares that no-
thing whatever has yet been submitted to the Ku.°
respecting the direct negotiations already commenced
between the KING and the Stadtholdership, except
chat the KING has replied to the conciliatory letter of
Messrs. ItevaisTnow and BESELER in an equally con-
ciliatory tone.

SOUTTIAMPTON, FRIDAY, DEc. 14. The Right

the 2 P.M. train, and embarked from Southampton Docks
on board her Majesty's steamer Fairy, Commander
Crispin, R.N., for thborne. Tho Premier likewise

GABRIELLI.

This famous cantatrice was very self-willed and fan-
tastical, and like a froward child who is " petted" too
much, would only sing when she pleased. Having re-
fused one dly to sing before the Icing of Sardinia and
his Court, his Majesty commissioned one of his officers
to threaten her with imprisonment in case of her still
being recusant. Gabrielli burst into tears, yet, inter-
rupted by her sobs, posessed spirit enough to reply.
" Go and tell the King that he may make me cry, but
he cannot make me sing! lam ready to go to—to--
prison!"
London, England, 1849-01-08

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The Copenhagen journals announce that the
greater part of the garrison of that city is to quit the
capital, the care of which will be confided to the
urban militia, and that the soldiers, who had received
illimitable furloughs, have been ordered to rejoin their
regiments. The brigade of General HYE is going to
Alsen, the other troops will be concentrated on Fin-
land and Jutland.

The Berlinger Zeitung says, that the Minister of
War intends to let the armaments keep pace with the
diplomatic negotiations, so that at the expiration of
the armistice he may have an army of 78,000 men at
his command, not including the reserves.
The Fadrelandst asserts upon good authority that
in the instructions given to the Danish Plenipoten-
tiaries, charged with carrying on the negotiations for
peace at London, there is no mention whatever, either
of the incorporation of Schleswig with Denmark, or of
the partition of the Duchy, but merely an appeal to
the guarantee given by the Great Powers for the
perpetual possession of Schleswig.
The proclamation of the King of DENMARK appears
to have met with approval at Schleswig.
An address has been presented to his MAJESTY,
signed by 1,200 of the Schleswig agricultural popu-
lation, containing the sentiments of the North Schles-
wig parishes. The essential points of agreement
in these declarations are that the so-called
representatives of the people, who are assum-
ing to themselves the right of a legislative body
be declared illegal ; that the war tax, and other taxes
imposed by the Provisional Government, be declared
null and void ; that the officers appointed by the Pro-
visional Government be replaced by those previously
appointed by the KING, who gained the confidence of
the landed and other proprietors by the strict integrity
of their proceedings; that the gendarmes patrol,
which is now useless, and utterly repugnant to the
inhabitants, be withdrawn.

The brig of war St. Thomas, having on board the
Governor- General IhrisEN, and the other Government
officers, had arrived at St. Croix. Several transports
had arrived there on the preceding day ; they took
on board the Spanish troops, and with the St. Thomas
sailed for Puerto Rico. Every thing was quiet. The
negroes were, on the whole, working diligently.

NORWAY.
Letters from Norway state that the cholera has
broken out at Bergen. On the 18th eleven persons
had sickened. and three died. A cholera hospital for
forty patients was immediately arranged. The
weather was very mild, and the thermometer 14.
The appearance of the cholera has excited very great
apprehension in the city. The first person attacked
was the wife of a smith. She died as they were
taking her to the infirmary. Immediately after, her
husband and children (one of whom died) were
seized with it.
