LISBON, JUNE 14.—The Ministerial crisis terminated on
Wednesday last, in the formation of the following Cabinet,
consisting of two members of the late Administration, and four
new bards, viz.:--
President Of the Council and Minister
of the Interior
Finance
War

Foreign Affairs
Justice

Marine
On the 11th, the new President of the Council appeared at
the Chamber of Deputies, where, in accordance with the
established usage, he explained the principles upon which his
Administration purposed to act. It was their intention at
once to withdraw the obnoxious project regarding the militia
force, to effect all possible retrenchment in the public expendi-
ture, and generally to take as their guide the sense of the par•
liamentaxy majority. To this, M. Costa Cabral, the Minister
of Justice, added that for his own part he had yielded to the
wish of his colleagues to withdraw the militia project, but that
he felt assured that ere long the whole nation would of its
own accord demand the re-establishment of that force. The
Finance Minister stated that he would adopt and follow up the
plan proposed by his predecessor for the payment of the divi-
dends to the foreign creditors by means of the contract with the
firm of Sampaio and Guimaraes, which had been already laid
before the Chamber for confirmation.
The finances of this country are in so deplorable a state that
their improvement is, or ought to be, the main object sought
in every change of Government that takes place. Every now
and then some new financier has been taken in hand ; and in
every instance have the flattering anticipations formed at the
commencement of his career been wofully disappointed at its
close. M. Avila, who has now undertaken the ungrateful
task, is yet untried, and never having had any experience in
that lipe, there certainly are no grounds upon which to rest a
hope that he will be more successful than any of those who have
gone before him. The next dividends to the foreign creditor:,
will probably be paid, but if they are so, it will be by means
which cannot often be resorted to. The system of drawing
the revenue in advance is an expedient which does not admit
of frequent repetition, and must soon become impracticable ;
and unless the permanent resources be raised to the level of
the expenditure, or the latter reduces to that of the former,
bankruptcy, final and irremediable, must ensue at no distant

period..
The project regarding the contract with the firm of Sampaio
and Guimaraes, for the purpose of raising funds for the pay-
ment of the next dividends in London, was to have been
brought under discussion on Saturday at the Chamber of Depu-
ties, but it was found necessary to postpone it for a very im-
portant question stated by Count Taira, and the decision of
which, as it would serve to test the strength of the new Ad-
ministration, it was thought inconvenient to put off.
The procession of Corpus Christi took place on the 10th in.
stant, and passed off very quietly, although for some days before
it was (according to annual custom) rumoured that some poll.
tical outbreak would occur.
A decree, establishing the mode of selling the national pro-
perty yet on hand has been published in the official Gazette.
Thy following are the different terms of sale, the choice of
which is to be left to the purchaser :-
1. One-third in hard cash, one-third in papers of credit,
one-thin in the old paper currency.
2. One-sixth in cash, one-sixth in papers of credit (floating
debt), one-third in old paper currency, one-third in bonds of
the funded debt, internal or external.
3. One-sixth in cash, one-third in old paper currency, three-
sixths in papers of credit.
4. One tenth in money, three-tenths in old paper currency,
six-tenths in bonds of the funded debt.
5. One-tenth in money, three-tenths in old paper currency,
six-tenths in papers of credit..
Of these conditions the fourth is the one which the foreign
bondholders would find it most to their advantage to adopt,
should any of them be disposed to make the trial. It is hard to
say whether it would be adviseable for them to do so or not.
If the property now offered for sale were as valuable as it is re-
presented to be, there could the no doubt as to the expediency
of the step, for the odds seem to be that, in two or three years
more, their bonds will have become mere waste raper.

CANDIA.
(From the Malta Times of the 31st. ult.)
We continue to publish the proclamations of the insurgent
Cretans, or Candiots. The dreadful excesses committed by
the Albanian troops in suppressing the Greek insurgents of
Bulgaria will only strengthen the insurgent Candiots—" Nous
verrons."
PROCLAMATION OF THE REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE INSURGENTS TO THE CRETANS.
•
The Executive body to the inhabitants of Crete.

ing in view the necessity of seeing a loyal Government esta-
blished, unceasingly and energetically to watch over the inte-
rests of the people, and for the future preservation of peace and
public order, united in an assembly on the 12(24th) April ;
and being then agreed, determined on establishing and have
established an executive body composed of five individuals
elected by suffrage as follows ;
Mons. A. Chmretis, Presdent • Ch. Roussos Bourdoum-
bakis, Vice President; Geo. Condoxakis, Nicholas Bistakis
Demetrius Chrysophopoulos, Members ; Theophraste Chzeretis,

THE EXECUTIVE BODY TO ALL THE OTTOMANS IN CRETE,
Countrymen,—lt is now two months since, being armed, we
have raised suppliant cries to the three great Powers of Eng-
land, France, and Russia, demanding, in the name of humanity
that they would furnish us with the rights of men. Since
then, countrymen, we have expressed either viva voce, or by
writing private or published, those sincere sentiments which
our actions have sufficiently confirmed. From what we can
perceive, however, an insidious policy keeps you separate from
your own interests.
Already a governing body, both consultative and executive,
has been formed, in order to look after the common interests of
our country, and to watch over the tranquillity, good order,
and pro.perity of its inhabitants, whose duty it considers it to
be to invite you officially not to leave your houses and posses-
sions to the discretion of the first corner, that not being just,
whilst the Government takes care of the general interests of
the country as well as of your private affairs. As you well
know, officious persons exist, enemies of our country, who,
whilst they avoid the attention of those who watch, find plea-
sure in troubling your affairs in order to give motives for scandal.
The Government invites yeu to come forth fearlessly with
your families, and look after your own property, both real and
personal. t suffices only 'that you behave decently and
honestly, not manifesting any hostile disposition towards us,
for you must be well assured that our demands are made as
much with a view to your interests as to our own.
For your further assurance it is necessary to inform you, that
in the Reports we have addressed to the three great Powers,
we have stated, " that the Cretans do not desire to drive out,
nor do any injury to the Ottoman inhabitants of that country,
but, on the contrary, that they may continue to reside in the
country which gave them birth, and there enjoy their property,
as well as the same rights and privileges as the Christians them-
selves enjoy without any exception.
Such, 0 countrymen ! Such are our sentiments. Do not
allow yourselves to be deceived by those whose interest it is to
see both you and ourselves disappear from the land of Crete,
the dear country of our birth.
