and has tended in a considerable degree to impart an
appearance of mystery to those ministerial arrange-
ments which have, we believe, been characterised
throughout by the most perfect good faith and sim-
plicity of intention.

Our opinions upon the disastrous disturbances in
the Peninsula hare been so frequently expressed that
any explicit repetition of them here would be super-
fluous. The faithlessness of the reigning SOVEREIGN
is beyond all contradiction, and it is equally undeni-
able, that if ever a people were justified in demanding
the fulfilment of the coronation oath, the inhabitants
of Portugal have been so justified. To gainsay either
of these assertions were to proclaim the patriotism of
the CABRALS and the generous policy of DIETZ.
Beyond this it is notorious that throughout the civil
war among the Portuguese cruelties have been per-
petrated by only one portion of the belligerents, that
portion being the military force of the Royalists.
As proofs that we are guilty of no exaggeration in
this statement we refer to the unconditional expatria-
tion of the prisoners taken when the insurgents were
discomfited, and also to the villanous practices which
have recently attached such an infamous celebrity to
Torres Vedras.

To say that the interference of the allied Sove-
reigns was absolutely imperative from the clauses
contained in the Quadruple Alliance were a wilful
distortion of that solemn compact. Had the Junta in
any manner advocated the claims of Dom MIGUEL,
had the Could Des ANTAS revealed an ambi-
tion on his part to transform his sword, by a
species of military legerdemain, into a sceptre, had
the insurgent captain SA DA BANDEIRA indicated any
intention to destroy the " baubles" of monarchical
government, and establish a pet system of republican-
ism in its stead—then, but certainly not otherwise,
might the armed interference of England, France,
and Spain have been imperatively demanded by
MARIA DA. GLORIA, in accordance with the letter of

the provisions contained in the articles of the Qua-
druple Alliance. But the Junta of Oporto did none
of these things : it emphatically denied any ulterior
views derogatory to the royal authority of the QUEER
Regnant, it repudiated the supposition that its arma-
ments were raised for the furtherance of the claims of
Dom MIGUEL ; its Commander•in-Chief, the Count
Das ANTAS, expressed to our Plenipotentiary,
Colonel WYLDE, every readiness to accede to the
ploposition forwarded for his acceptance by Lord
PALMERSTON, on the understanding that the other
consenting party in the arrangement, MARIA DA
GLORIA, would give some reasonable guarantee that
her engagements should be strictly fulfilled. Was
this an extravagant demand on the part of the Pro-
visional Junta and its leader ? Assuredly not. As-
suredly it was not extravagant for the representatives
of a nation to require some definite assurance that a
monarch, who had so continually acted with duplicity
and perfidy, would for once adhere to the conditions
of their reconciliation. Assuredly it was not extra-

vagant for those who had with comparatively little
bloodshed, and certainly with the commission of not
one heinous act of inhumanity, subjugated the whole
of a considerable kingdom, with the exception of the
capital and its suburbs, to require, before the deliver-
ing up of the conquered provinces, a ho3tage, as it

Sir ROBERT PEEL presided on Wednesday at the
eighth anniversary festival held in aid of the funds of the
King's College Hospital. One would have supposed
that the theme of the Right Hon. Baronet's speech
presented no very striking materials for engaging the
interest of either his auditory, or the country, when
the purport of his remarks became publicly known.
Yet it is peculiar to some minds to invest the most
ordinary topics with sentiments that kindle the best
feelings of our nature, even when this result is the
least anticipated. It is this aptitude that attests to
the range and philosophical acquirements of the
speaker's mind. lle views his subject in all its rela-
tions, direct and indirect, as they affect society at
large, and frequently, by the original turn of his in-
tellect, succeeds in placing it in a new light which
recommends it more favourably than ever to the at-
tention of his country. Expatiating upon the cause
of benevolence and charity, as connected with the
maintenance of institutions for giving relief in cases
of disease and accident, and alluding to the vast
amount of good that has been and is being daily ac
complished through their instrumentality, Sir
ROBERT PEEL proceeded to notice, that in
exhibiting the kindliness of our nature towards
the maimed and sick of our poorer brethren, by
voluntarily contributing to the support of public
receptacles for the alleviation and cure of their suffer-
ings and infirmities, we were pursuing a course I
" against which no possibility of objection could be
raised. There are cases of benevolence and charity
where, however unquestionable the motives, it is
possible we may be relaxing exertion and engendering
habits of dependence on external assistance ; but here
there is no possibility of objection on any such ground
to the exercise of our charity !" And yet, strange as
it may seem, that form of charity which,
as the ex-Premier has noticed, is free from
all possible objection, in which human misery
is mitigated, habits of self-dependence not
relaxed, nor motives to continuous exertion
interfered with, has been the most neglected in this
mighty metropolis. Excluding those districts of the
metropolis which do not return Members to Parlia-
ment, it appears we have a population of 1,500,000
souls to deal with, but for whose care and treatment,
in the hour of danger and physical suffering, we have
not more than ten hospitals for general purposes ;
and it further appears (which is the greatest reproach
to us) that seven out of these ten were established
one hundred years ago; and not merely this, but
that the three additional ones, which are all that have
been erected within a century, notwithstanding the pro-
digious increase in our population and public wealth,
are greatly inferior in accommodation and other re-
spects to those which our ancestors had so
muni-
ficently reared. It is thus manifest that the affluent
have shamefully neglected an important moral o 1
li-
tion. The English are renowned for their benevolent
disposition, but not unfrequentlyehitar there is a morbid
taste for ostentatiousecoftentimes r

were, that their rational demands would in the end be
satisfied. There was nothing, we maintain, extrava-
gant in the simple conditional acquiescence pronounced
by the Oporto Junta and its mouthpiece, Des ANTAS,
in the proposals delivered to them by Colonel WYLDE.
So much, therefore, as to the propriety of regard-

ing the popular movement in Portugal as a movement
necessitating either the armed interposition of adjacent
Governments or the rupture of the Quadruple Alliance.
That movement on the part of the Portuguese popu-
lation had proved itself to be no petty and provincial
revolt, but the unanimous outburst of a whole nation
for the realisation of its liberties and the maintenance
of its constitutional rights. The disturbance was not
a local revolt, but a comprehensive and—it must be
acknowledged—a moderate revolution.

It has, nevertheless, been deemed advisable by the
English Government to hasten th• reconciliation
between Queen MARIA DA GLORIA and her people,
by authorising Admiral PARKER to co-operate with
the land forces of her Portuguese MAJESTY. In
arriving at this decision our rulers have, we are
satisfied, been impelled by no rash affection for the
employment of physical force in preference to moral
force : they regard the misunderstanding, we doubt
not, between the SoußaloN of Portugal and the

people of Portugal in somewhat the same light as vt e
do ourselves; but they regard an armed intervention
as about the speediest means of arriving at the desired
termination to so many difficulties. This even-

ing, however, the country will, we trust, be in
possession of the precise views entertained by her
MAJESTY'S advisers upon a matter which must
arouse the anxiety of all those who can sym-
pathise with a race struggling for their political
liberation. Coupled with the intelligence received
since the commencement of this article, that the
Count Das ANTAS has been captured, together with
two thousand men, and all the property of the
Provisional Junta of Oporto, the anticipated discus-
sion upon Mr. flumE's inquiry must be considered
as one of the most important since the opening of
the present session.

CONSORT has, it is said, determined to lix on Valla-
dolid as his place of residence for the future. At

feast of Corpus Christi, the Bulsa was closed.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
They all comment on the discus-ion which took
place on Monday, in the Chamber of Deputies, on
the subject of Algeria. In the course of the discus-
sion, it was admitted, that to keep possession of
Algeria, under the present system, the presence of an
army of at least 100,000 men would be always re-
quired in the colony. On this subject, the Journal
des Debals says—
" Can hopes be entertained of one day reducing the number
of troops? We mast not deceive ourselves; that cannot
take place within a short period. M. de Chasseloup-Laubat
reckons a good deal on the increased number of roads ; we
think with the report, that the art of the conquerors is less
easy; however, roads are in fact instruments of domination
and conquest, the influence of which is proved by the
history of all countries. The report considers that a
diminution of the army in Algeria is, above all, to be
looked fur in a good government of the Arab people.
We see it, for our parts, principally in coloniza-
tion, and, in consequence, we consider it most urgent
to advance that measure. The government of the Arabs
has been treated pretty fully in the report, and was alluded
to yesterday in the discussion. It appears to us that it is
perhaps the point calling least for remark. The government
such as it is, such as it has been established by Marshal
Bugeaud, with the traditions of justice and kind feeling for
the vanquished people which he has bequeathed to his go.
nerals and the Arab bureux, constitutes the solution of the
question. We may add that this system of government has
not called forth any condemnatory remark either in the re-
Port or during the discussion. Since we have spoken of co-
lonization, we shall say two words on the subject, although
we should have preferred to reserve this subject for another
day. We have been in Africa seventeen years, and there
are computed to be there a European population of 100,000.
How many real colonists are there amongst them? We
dare not say. The European population does not manifest
such an eagerness to proceed to Africa that we can afford
to raise up difficulties and choose. What, however, do
some members of the Chamber desire? To establish cate-
gories--to exclude some and then others; some because they
are rich and will not consent to spend their life in it farm
of the Mitidja ; others because they are poor. Is it not one
hundred times more sensible to throw the doors wide open to
every one?"
The Presse has the following observations :

"The possession of Algeria will depend upon ourselves, to
be either a good or a bad affair for France ; it will be good it
wisely conducted, that is if it be made, like Corsica, an an-
nexation, an extension of the territory of France; if it be
peopled with French citizens as firmly attached to the go-
vernmental unity as are the French of Alsace or Franche
Conte; if, in a word, it be divided into French departments
in every respect similar to those of France. The possession
of Algeria will be a sad thing to France, if it continues to
devour its finances and the elite of its population ; if we per-
sist in maintaining 100,000 men for keeping hi check an
enemy whose arrival is Algeria the .fflonittur Algerien an-
nounced (falsely, by the way), in these terms The Emir
Abd-el-Kader has just re-appeared in the south of Sebdon,
with considerable forces, consisting of 400 horsemen, and
from 400 to 500 infantry.' This possession will be bad and
onerous as long as the Chambers shall permit France to be
made ridiculous by so disproportionate a struggle, by the
employment of the club of Hercules to strike an enemy so
feeble."

The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies ap-
pointed to consider the affair of M. EMILE DE GIRAR-
DIN met on Tuesday. M. DE GIRARDIN appeared
before it, and entered into explanations respecting
the facts which had induced him to publish the in-
criminating article, and, on retiring, deposited on the
table a declaration, which was to be annexed to the
report. The Committee adjourned at three o'clock,
and was to assemble again on Wednesday. It is said
that M. DE GIRARDIN is fully prepared to prove his
case.

In the sitting of the Chamber on Tuesday the
Minister of Public Works presented three railroad
Bills. One was relative to the Montereau and Troyes
line; the second, to that of the Dieppe and Fecamp,
prolonging the delay necessary for its execution, and
authorising the company to construct the branch with
only one line of rails ; and the third, referred to the
Versailles and Chartres road, and to the loan to be
made to the left bank (Versailles Company).
It was currently reported in the Chamber, that the
Ministry had received a telegraphic dispatch, an-
nouncing the submission of the Junta of Oporto. On
this subject the Union Monarchique says :
"It was yesterday stated in the Chamber of Deputies that
a telegraphic dispatch had reached Paris in the morning, an-
nouncing that the Junta of Oporto had made its complete
submission before the ultimatum laid down by the three
Commissioners of the Governments of France, England, and
Spain. We endeavoured, as far as possible, to ascertain the
source of this rumour, and we can announce in an almost
positive manner, that very important news from Portugal
were really received yesterday by the French Government;
but it does not go beyond signalising a very marked pro-
gress towards the issue of the negotiations opened to bring
about, either by persuasion or force, the end of the state of
crisis in which Portugal now is. In any case, the rumour
spread in the Chamber was only premature, for every thing
concurs in causing it to be believed that it cannot be long
before it becomes a certa►nty."
The French Government have determined to dis-
patch four ships of war to the Tagus, under the com-
mand of a Rear-Admiral. They will have orders to
co-operate with the English fleet.
The Flotte publishes a letter from an officer on
board the Voltigeur, dated Pondicherry, April 19, in
which, in giving an account of the accident to the
Belle Poule frigate, in the hurricane in which she
was caught at the beginning of December, it alludes
to the probable fate of the Berceau

"The Belle Poule was laid on her beam-ends for two
hours without being able to right herself. Her officers deli-
berated upon the necessity of cutting away the mizenmast.
The foremast was split, the topmast was carried away, the
hull was damaged, and the boats washed off by the sea.
The gale lasted only a few hours, but drove towards the
shore, so that the ships were obliged to beat up against it.
The frigate was able to reach moorings at St. Marie, where
she quickly repaired her damages and changed her foremast.
The Berceau must have gone down, for no part of her has
been seen, except some few pieces of wreck drifted on shore.
Among them were some hats, the prow of a boat, and an
oil-painting, by Lebreton, which was in the stern-cabin."

The thuvers announces the death, at Naples, of
Cardinal ACTON, and of Cardinal PIGNATELLI,
archbishop of Palermo.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was flat again,
and the decline on American, compared with Friday last, is
%d. per lb. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales, of which 2,500 were
American, at 6%d. to 7%d. per lb.; Surat was at 4d. to
4Ysd. per lb. ; and Bahia at 714 d. to 7%d. Railway Shares
were firm, but with very little doing.
Accounts of February 13 from Melbourne, Port Philip,
state that the whole district was suffering from the scarcity
of labourers, and that as there was a surplus from the land
fund, and the squatter's tax, it was hoped that the whole
amount would be appropriated to the promotion of immigra-
tion into Port Phillip exclusively, leaving the other settle-
ments to procure labour from their own resources and
revenue.

The news received from the West Indies, and given in
another column, our own accounts not having reached as yet,
are satisfactory, as respects the various islands, but from
Mexico we are still without any news of a conclusive nature,
and the war promises to become now of a predatory cha-
racter before it concludes.
The Public Securities were rather tending upwards early in
the day, but have since declined. Consols have realised 88
to 4 for present transfer, and 88% to 34 for account. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88% to 34,
and the Three per Cents. 86% to 87. Bank Stock is quoted
194% to 196. Exchequer bills have been marked 3s. to 6s.
premium.
The Foreign Securities have been steady, but with very
limited transactions. The news received by telegraph of
the capture of Das Antes has made Portuguese Stock rather
better, viz., 30 to 30%. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been
at 83%. Mexican Stock is worth 20%,
In Railway Shares the business done has been moderate.
The recommendation of the Parliamentary Committee to
allow the companies prosecuting Bills this session to suspend
their works if they so think fit, seems generally to be ap-
proved, and it is hoped that but few companies will neglect to
avail themselves thereof.

FLANDERS AND GERMAN MAILS,
FOREIGN CORN TRADE AND HARVEST,
BELGIUM.—The Col!rier d' Alsace sdys—" At Colma,
the medium market price on the 20th May was 43f. 61c.,
that of 1 hursday last, the 29th, was 371. 5c., being a fall
of 6f, 46c, We must add that 1,466 hectolitres did not
find any purchasers, and are reserved for next
Thursday's market. At Mulhouse the sellers
were numerous last market day, but no one
seemed willing to buy. Native corn was offered at 38
franca and foreign corn at 35 francs. There has been a
diminution of six francs on the prices sinco the last
market, and a total fall of from ten to eleven francs
since the first symptoms of a decline. At Bouffach
and at Soult sales were not considerable, and there
was a sensible reduction. At Belfort and Donnernarie
the market was of second order, and prices considerably
lower. At Schelestadt the medium price of the market
before last was 481. 14c., that of the last market (the
23d) was 431. 7c., being a difference of 41. 35c. At
Strasburg, the corn, which at the market before last was
sold at 48f., was last market day at from 42f. to 43:., and
511 keetolitres remained unsold.
At Nancy, at Epinal, and at St. I)ie there was a fall of
from 7 to 9 francs. At Besancon there has been a
a considerable fall for some time. It is a fact worthy of
notice that commercial houses are so pressed by the
arrivals of considerable quantities of grain purchased
during the winter, that travellers are going throughout
all the localities to endeavour to get rid of their stocks ;
some of them even cause their prices to be published
through the villages. This is owing to the fact that
there is no time to lose ; we are close upon the harvest,
which promises to be most favourable this year.

VISCOUNT PALMERSToN TO SIR HAMILTON SEYM
Foreign-office, April sth, 1847.
Sir,—Her Majesty's Government have.taken into their
deliberate consideration the appecation which the Go-
v, rtanent of Portugal has made to the Powers who were
parties to the Treaty of Quadruple Alliance in 1834 for
assistance under the stipulation of that treat) ; and I
have to instruct you to state to the Portuguese Minister
for Foreign Affairs, that after the most attentive exami-
nation of the grounds upon which that application has
been founded, her Majesty's Government cannot per-
suade themselves that either the letter or the spirit of
the Quadruple Treaty can justly be deemed applicable
to the state of things new existing in Portugal.
The treaty of 1334 was concluded for two purposes.
The first purpose was to put an end to a war in regard
to the succession to the crown of Portugal, which bad
then been waged for some time between the Emperor
Don Pedro, who contended for the rights of her pre.sent
Majesty, Maria IL, and the Infanta Don Miguel, aho
had usurped the throne. The second purpose of that
treaty was of a similar kind, nemely, to expel from the
Peninsula the Infante Don Carlos, who disputed with
her present Majesty, Isabella 11., the succession to the
mown of Spain.
Both Don Miguel and Don Carlos were at the time
within the territory of Portugal, and at the head of
troops armed and organized for the purpose of support-
ing by force the pretensions of these two Princes.
Questions of disputed succession have always been
deemed matters which might justly be considered as
involving the political interests of foreign states ;
and in such questions, wherever arising, the Powers of
Europe have trim time to time, according as their inter-
, sts impelled them, held themselves at liberty to take an
active part.
Spain and Portugal had in 1834 a common interest in
regard to those mutters ; and Great Britain and France
thought it also conformable with their political views
to unite with Spain and Portugal for the expulsion
of the two Infantes from the P.ninsula. But when
both the Infantes were finally so expelled, the letter
of the stipulations of the treaty, and of its addi-
tional articles was, as regards armed interference in
the affsirs of the Peninsula, entirely and completely
fulfilled.
It, however, either Don Miguel should re-appear in
Portugal, or Don Carlos in Spain, with a view to put
forward again, and support by force of arms, their
respective pretensions, the spirit of the Quadruple
Treaty would certainly be applicable to such a case ;
and it would be fitting that the four Powers who
were parties to that treaty should, in such an event,
enter into a concert, with a view to frame new articles
applicable to what might be the then existing state of
things.
But Don Miguel is not in Portugal ; nor has there
been ally insurrection worthy of account in his name
and in support of his pretensions to the crown.
The civil war which has now unhappily for nearly six
months afflicted Portugal has not sprung from the pre-
tensions of Don Miguel, nor did it originate with his
partis .ns ; it arose from very different causes, and among
a very different party.
The contest does not turn upon the question who shall
be Sovereign of Portugal, but upon the question who
shall be the responsible Ministers of the Crown in Por-
tugal, and by what principles of administration the
country shall be governed.
These questions are widely different from questions
of dynasty and succession.
These questions are purely domestic in their bearing,
and with them foreign Powers, except in very extreme
cases, cannot be entitled to interfere. And, although it
is certainly laid down by writers on the law of nations,
that when civil war is regularly established in a country,
and when the nation is divided into conflicting armies
and opposing camps, the two parties in such war may be
dealt with by other Powers as if they were two separate
communities, and that such other Powers m iy take part
with one side or the oilier, according to their sympathies
and interests, just as they might in a war between se-
parate arid independent nations ; vet the case s in which
such interference would be justifiable are rare, and it is
better and safer in general to leave each nation to decide
for itself upon questions which relate to its own internal
organisation and interests.
If, therefore, on the one hand, her Majesty's Govern-
ment do nut think themselves justly called upon, in
virtue of the stipulations of the Quadruple Treaty, to
interfere in the civil war now goi.g on in Portugal,
neither, on the other heed, do they deem it consistent
with the general principles which have invariably
guided the policy of Great Britain in regard to such
matters, to afford unconditionally to the Queen of Por-
tugal direct assistance for the purpose of coercing that
part of the Portuguese nation which is now in armed re-.
sistance to her Majesty's authority.
But the British Government, adverting to the close
connexion which ancient treaties have established be-
tween the Crowns of Great Britain and Portugal, aed
bearing in mind the many and great interests by means
of which the relations of commerce have knitted to-
gether the two countries, cannot see with indifference
the calamitous condition to which the continuance of the
civil war is fast reducing the Portuguese nation, and
cannot but feel the most ardent desire to wake every
possible effort to co-operate in bringing that war to
an end.
Her Majesty's Government do not assume to them •
selves the right or the competency to pass judgment
upon the events which occasioned the outbreak of this
civil war; but, seeing how long it has continued, what
divisions it has created amongst all cla-ses of the people,
and considerit g, moreover, now large a portion of the
nation has taken a part in it, they are clearly of opinion
that these troubles cannot be finally or permanently
quelled by mere force of arms; mid that even it the
Queen were to be enabled by fore ign aid to put down for
the moment all open resistance to her authority, still no
permanent tranquillity could be hoped for in Portugal
unless the causes of discontent whtch have led to this
outbreak, and which have fur so many months kept the
insurrection alive, should by the exercise of her Majesty's
royal authority be removed.
It seems, therefore, to her Majesty's Government that
the wisest course which the Queen of Portugal can pur.
sue is to make known to the insurgents her gracious
intentions fur the future, and f ermelly to call upon them
to lay down tneir arms, and to return to their allegiance
to the crown.
It appears that the intentions of the Queen of Por-
tugal in this respect are such as befit a generous and
enlightened Sovereign, desirous of healing the divisions
which afflict her people, and of reuniting ull classes and
parties of her subjects in loyal attachment to her person
and throne.
But it seems that her Majesty has been prevented
from acting upon the impulse of her own judgment by
the objections which have been made to such a course
by the Marshal Saldanha, who has declared his determi-
nation to resign his command of the army of operations
unless the Queen shall persist in endeavouring to put
down the revolt by force of arms. This determination
of Marshal Saldanha, of which it is not necessary tor
her Majesty's Geverntnent to say what they think, no
doubt places the Queen of Portugal in great embarrass-
ment; because, while on the one hand it is scarcely pos-
sible for her to furnish Marshal Saldanha with the milt,
tary means which would be necessary to enable him to
finish the civil war in the way in which he insists upon
adopting, on the other hand it might he_ difficult for her
Majesty to find any other commander who would eqaally
enjoy the confidence of the troops, if the continued re-
sistance of the Junta should render further operations
necessary.
In this state of' things the British Government, mindful
of the ancient alliance between the British and Portu •
geese Crowns, is induced to step forward and to offer its
assistance to her Most Faithful Majesty.
The Queen of Portugal is desirous of making known
to her revolted subjects at Oporto the gracious and
.benevolent intentions which she is prepared to carry
into execution, as soon as they shall have returned to
their duty. Marshal Saldanha refuses to make that
communication. Her Majesty's Government will, if
desired, instruct Colonel Wylde to repair immediate!)
to Oporto for the purpose of making it.
Marshal Saldanha declares that he is unable to compel
the Junta to accept any terms, however reasonable, of
submission. Her Majesty's Government are prepared,
if the Junta should refuse the reasonable arrangements
which the Queen intends to make known to them, to
enter into concert with the Governments of France and
Spain, in order to settle the best means of affording to
her Most Faithful Majesty such effectual assistance as
may enable her to re-establish internal tranquillity in
her dominions.
The arrangements which her;Majesty's Government
understand the Queen of Portugal as having determined
to carry into effsct immediately upon the submission of
the Junta, are the following:—
First,—A full and general amnesty for all political
offences committed since the beginning of October last;
and an immediate recal of all persons who, since that
time, have been seat out of Portugal for political reasons.
Secondly,—An immediate revocation of all the decrees
which have been issued since the beginning of October
last, and which infringe upon. or conflict with, the esta-
blished law and constitution of the kingdom.
Thirdly,—A convocation of the Cones as soon as the
elections, which are to take place without delay, shall
have been completed.
Fourthly,—The immediate appointment of an Ad-
ministration, composed of men not belonging to the party
of the Cabrals, nor being members of the Oporto Junta.
If her Most Faithful Majesty will formally empower
you to authorise Colonel Wylde to repair to Oporto, and
to announce to the Junta that it is her firm determina-
tion to curry these measures into execution, provided
they shall immediately lay down their arms and submit
to her authority, you are also empowered and instructed
by her Majesty's Government to authorise Colonel
Wylde, if he should find the Junta hesitate as to the
course which they should pursue, to intimate to the
Junta, iu the first place, that these intentions of the
Queenof Portugal having been declared though a British
officer, the Crown of Portugal is bound totdh,atsoeeleGnrdelyat,
Britain to fulfil them with good faith; and,
that if the Junta should Mill continue the civil war, after
having been informed of these the gracious intentions of
their Queen, the British Government will concert with
the Governments of France and of Spain the best
means of affording effectual assistance to the Queen of
Portugal,
always, however, to be clearly understood be-
tween British and Portuguese Governments,
that if
Itbetihne g
such concert should become necessary, and if the revolt
should be put down by the measures so to he concerted,
the Queen of Portugal would equally
intocarry effect
all the above-mentioned arrangements, on the termina
tion of the insurrection, except as regards the application
of the amnesty to those persons who might thus have
vrnertnhemceinvtil
conHteinrumeda

, hwoawrever, can entertain no
doubt that when these just and generous intentions of
her Most Faithful Majesty are made known by Colonel
Wylde to the Junta, that body will gratefully accept the

coramunicati..n, and the civil war will at once be tenni,
Hated, wLhout turtlitr effusion of Portuguese blood, sell

if ~uch should by the result, her M „testy's Govepnineut

You are instructed to read this dispatch to the

PALMERSTON.

VISCOUNT PALMERSToN To SIR HAMILTON SEYMOUR.
Foreign-office, April 5, 1847.
Sir,—With reference to my other dispatds of this
date I have to state, that if there should be any hesita•
tion as to adopting the arrangement therein proposed'
you will employ all the arguments which e our own re'
fiections and your knowledge of the condition of tbe
country and of the state of parties will naturtwi
suggest.
If the Portuguese Government should consent to adopt.
the plan o' proceeding which her Majesty's Governosent:
have proposed, it is essentially neceszary that you
should have some written record of her Most Faith
Majesty's intentiens, as set forth in my other dispatet!.
before Colonel Wylde sets out for Lisbon; because it!
ritis
would be in the highest degree improper that a B to
officer shoule be the bearer of such an announcement _
the Junta, unless the Queen of Portugal had previously'
pledged herself to the British Government on the rost!el
in question in such a manner as to make it impossib
for any of her Ministers, officers, and advisers after;
wards to break or evade any part of the engaged°
so contracted towards her Majesty's Government.
The four conditions which are enumerated in dlo
other dispatch seem to her Majesty's Governs:reedit:i
provide for everything (with one exception. which I je
presently advert to) which any reasonable Porturie
could expect or wish for.
A general and full amnesty is the usuiaarlgsee
termination of a civil war, in which
men of various clesse s have taken part; because to punt
_ll
all would in such cases be impossible, and to select per_.:
ticular indivi uals for punishment would, as savouse7,
more of pereueal vengeance than a teen-handed tl of

administration. Such au amnesty, however, wf-halfe

useful to remove. is
The recal of all persons sent out of the kingeled, to
measure of indispensable necessity. The Pers4dees
whom this measure would apply are the Torre° Y
prisoners and the Duke of Palmella.
Wit!ch oaks
It is needless to dwell upon the reasons
it indispensably necessary that the Torres Vedras
soners should be brought back without the least ob.
With regard to the Duke of Palmella. it is to
I?e,tbont

calor
the manner in which the order was given him waste, base
lived to wound his feel ngs deeply, and is known 4, his
dine so. But the Duke of Palmella, from his re :goo of
political station, and his ample fortune, is a_,P;;l5 be'
considerable importance in the country; and
lieved that the great body of the Portuguese near
resent very much the treatment ehich be h, °H o- to
rienced. An invitation to the Duke of radle the
return, or a summons to him to resume his else jibe as
Chamber of Peers, would on this account be r--
well as just. kW,
The immediate re-establishment of the ordina•
..siv
delay
and of the con.titution of the country, is too obeine"en-i,
necessary to require to be enforced by any argil( the
and no, a day sheuld he lost a‘ter the submission web
Junta in revoking all the unconstitutional ed'ets w

have been issued since the resignation of the Pal
Administrati.
The sooneron the Cortes can be convoked the better

cording to the charter as it was in force before I:
change of Ministry on the 6th of October ; and the eres
Lions should take place as seem as the insurgent fo
have
are disbanded, and the Queen's municipal officers beery
been re established in their proper authority in e'
part of the country.
The immediate appointment of an administratre
which, if it cannot command the confidence of `he
country (and, divided as the nation is, this could
hardly expected of any men). may yet not eeeitee;
distrust, appears to be a measure of the most 100
necessity, even if the civil war was to go on, °ln is
communication with the Junta was to take place. at,
easier for her Majesty's Gevernment to say what 111-to
ought not to form part of such administration, dnt,
suggest the names of th 'se who might properly coniPj.
it. It is manifest that none of the Cabral party se to
members of the Oporto Jueta should, in the preSellt S"'"
of things, be appointed to office.
I have said, in the earlier part of this dispatch, the
there is one arrangement which seems indispensah'''
but which is not mentioned in my public disc's%
of this date ; and that is, the departure of n 01_4e--
from Lisbon. Unless M. Dietz leaves Portuqarl
all other arran?ernt nts, and all attempts to reconcile the
Court and the discontented part of the nation, will be
vain; and Colonel W) lde must not, under any circus.
stances leave Li,bun for Oporto until M Dietz has IL
barked and sailed fhr England. His departure is a oaf
qua non condition of any step whatever on the part
her Majesty's Government to interfere in any war-
the affairs of Portugal. It is needless to explain ',he
well known reasous which render this condition indis
pensable.
If Colonel Wylde is sent to Oporto, it is desirablethlt

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON TO THE LORDS CO3I3IISSIONERS
OF THE ADMIRALTY.
(Extract.)
Foreign-office, May 22, 1847.
I transmit for your information a copy of the protocol
of a conference which was held at this office yesterdaY
by the Plenopotentiaries of Great Britain, France, Spain'
and Portugal, and I have to signify to your LordsbiPe
the Queen's commands that instructions should be given
to Sir William Parker in accordance therewith.
It is an of ject of much political importance that upon
every occasion in which any naval operation, bowel
trifling, may be undertaken, the French and SPaili!
naval flag should, if possible, accompany the British, 111,.
order that such public manifestation of the agreement oi
the three Governments may, by its moral effect, e;detic;
the impression which any such operation may °f itself
the
calculated to produce.
Sir William Parker will be the best judge of the WO:
ner in which, when your Lordships' instructions retie".
him, he can best give effect to the intentions of he'
Majesty's Government; and it is the opinion of her
Majesty's Government that the fulfilment of their into!'"
tions cannot be better secured than by leaving the wall, i;
ner of carrying them into effect entirely to the discret'L
of Sir William Parker. But his attention might
directed to the expediency of immediately taking Pig;
session of the steamers and other vessels now to
service of the Junta, and of delivering over to°7:
steamers and other vessels to the Queen's Governmeri"
and Sir William Parker might also be desired to con'
wider the practicability of dislodging the troops of,_t„frhe
Viscount Sa Bandeira from Satuval, either by an 00'4
from the sea-side, combined with a movement by 14',
Q.leen's troops on the land front, or by a single attach:
by the ships of war.
It woutd, moreover, be desirable that the ive
blockade of
Oporto should without loss of time be rendered effect!
The ships of Gre.t Britain, France, and Spain eanwr:
indeed, according to the law of nations, be employed f.
actually enforcing that blockade, by turning away vier'
chant vessels, either going in or coming out.
That function must be performed by the ships of 11
of the Queen of Portugal; but the British ships rip,.
may be off the port may be of use in keeping the "
tuguese blockading force upon its proper ground.
It is probable that a Spanish force will advance fro'
Salamanca, and descend along the right book of the
Douro, in order to co-operate with the force under DID
shal Saldanha of the left bank, and thus to cut offs
Oporto the supplies which that city now draws from 1'
productive country to the north of it.
There seems reason to expect that if this opersti°rl
properly executed by land, and if the blockade is eTh7
tually enforced by sea, Oporto will ere long be. o'll
pelled to surrender, by Rant of supplies, and 1`;-igh,n,
nloodshed. But the altered position which 'Aie Bris;
Government is now about to assume in regard toco
civil war, by reason of Great Britain engaging ugaging 141. Pw"
