CORTES.

The chiefs of the Algarve insurgents, who were s)

in arms, have tendered ileir submission to Government
The military occupation of that portion of the kingdom is
no longer necessary. The gallant troops, as well as the
authorities efficaciously cc-operated with Government, in
order to put an end to the desolating civil war.
" The projects of law, the examination of which you are
about undertaking, which were presented to you by my Mi-
nisters, during the last Session, and on which depend the
organization of the country and its public' safety, still re-
quire some further additions, which shall be submitted to
you by my directions.
" As the service of the Provisional Corps must terminate
at the end of next June, according to law,it becomes indis-
pensable to organize the army, as much in consideration of
the good of the service as of the wants of the country_
observing every possible economy in the public expenditure.
" I trust that, for the above purpose, the various pro-
jects prevented to the Cortcs in the last Session by my
present Minister of War, as well as others which will
now be submitted to you, will deserve your serious at-
tention.
" The works in the naval department, for the construction
and repairs of ships of Nvap, have been active. The service
of all its dependencies is greatly improved.
The most part of the naval forces of which it has
been possible to dispose, arc employed on our stations in
Africa and Asia, for the protection of those vast provinces,
as well as for the repression of the slave traffic.
" The tranquillity which the ultra-marine provinces
enjoy at the present moment, together with some important
measures which Government deemed it expedient to
adopt, will contribute to the gradual improvement of the
condition of those countries.

" The respective Ministers will submit to you the details
of which you ought to be made acquainted.
" The measures which were propined to you in the
last session for regulating the system of the public Exche-
quer in respect to the next economical year, only consi-
dered it possible to establish the desired equilibrium be-
tween the revenues and charge of the State, by the suc-
cessive organization of the various branches of the fiscal
service, and through the effects of the natural and opposed
tendency of the public ingress and egress.
" Now, however, everything recommends that the in.fallible action of time be immediately assisted by measures
which were lately deemed inadoptable.
" I have, therefore, ordered that in the system whit'.,
was submitted to you, modifications may be made tending
to meet the deficit, which will be compatible with the
wants of the public service, and with the means of the
contributors, thus giving a fresh proof that the Portu-
guese nation effectually seeks to provide for the charge of
the foreign debt, which was contracted for the restoration
of my throne and of its liberty.
" Gentlemen,—To your wisdom and patriotism are en-
trus:ed the greatest interests of the Portuguese nation,
whose happiness is the first of my cares. After the vicissi-
tudes through which she has passed, and the experiments
which have been made, the time appears to have arrived
for securing its organization and its liberty upon a solid and
real basis.

" The wants arc well known, and the nation expects of
you a remedy for the most essential, at least; because,
without time, it is impossible to provide for all.
" I trust that the representatives of the people, only
fixing their eyes on the public good, will contribute to.
wards the attainment of this great end, and endeavour to
unite the Portuguese family under the protection of just
laws, in the enjoyment of freedom, upholding the consti-
tution of the State, and in the progressive development of
labour and industry, which only prosper under the sway of
order and the protection of peace.
" The ordinary Session for 1840 is opened."

SERMON IN NEWGATE.—Since the committal
of Courvoisier, he has lost nothing of his self-possession. lie is
confined in one of the cells near the chapel of the prison, where
persons charged with murder are usually placed. Yesterday he
attended divine service along with the other prisoners. He
sat by himself at the foot of the altar, andloined in the service
with apparent devotion. Gould and Bailey were also present,
and, in consequence of their recent attempt to escape, both were
heavily ironed. He was well dressed. Gould, during the ser-
vice, seemed to join fervently in it, and his voice was heard
above the other singers. Bailey (who was to have been exe-
cuted this morning, but has been reprieved) was dressed in the
prison dress. At the conclusion of the service the other pri-
soners first left the chapel, then followed Courvoisier by him-
self. Gould and Bailey left together, but did not seem to re-
cognise each other. The object of Bailey's respite is to afford
time to ascertain whether the captain, who now lies at Falmouth
in extreme danger from the wounds he received at the hands of
the prisoner, can survive the attack, on which event will de-
pend whether the sentence shall be carried into effect, or com-
muted for transportation.
PUBLIC DINNER AT LAMBETH PALACE.—
His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury gave his fourth and
last public dinner this season, on Saturday last at Lam-
beth-Palace.

FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN OTWAY, R.N.—
Admiral Sir Robert Waller Otway and his family vacated the
apartments in the officers' house, in Knightsbridge barracks,
which Colonels Cavendish and Hall so kindly afforded the dis-
tressed family on the occasion of the late melancholy accident to
their unfortunate son, Captain Otway, R.N., on the day fol-
lowing the death of the Gallant Officer. On Saturday morn-
ing the remains of the deceased were removed from the bar-
racks hospital to their final resting place in the parish church
of St. Luke's, Chelsce. The funeral was conducted in a
simple and unostentatious manner, but as the mournful cortege
drew its slow length along it excited a deeper sympathy in the
breasts of the spectators, and spre.td a more marked gloom
over those assembled than more extensive preparations fre-
quently create. The hearse was drawn by four horses, and the
venerable and Gallant Admiral and other members of the de-
ceased's family followed in three mourning coaches.
Such is the force of habit, that the Limerick
Chronicle can scarcely tell truth, even by accident. We ex-
posed, on Tuesday, the reckless and infamous falsehood, put
into circulation by that provincial organ of Orangeism, to the
effect that Dr. Kinsella, Catholic Bishop of Ossory, had relused
to celebrate a marriage until he received 1001., upon the ground
that the bridegroom had not been at confession ! We have
since received the folloxing communication upon the subject

OPENING OF THE PORTUGUESE

On the 25th ult. Her Most Faithful Majesty the Queen
of Portugal opened, in person, the New Sessions of the
Cortes. Besides the Senators, Deputies, Great Officers
of State, and Foreign Ambassadors, there was present
the hereditary Prince of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and several
other strangers of distinction. The Queen was well re-
ceived by the people, going to, and returning from the
Hall of the Cortes; albeit the crowd was not so great as
on former occasions. Our opinion of the Royal Speech
will be found in our leading columns. We here give a
translation of the text :
THE ROYAL SPEECH.
" Gentlemen—lt having become indispensable to con-
sult the general vote of the nation upon the grave questions
which could not, during the past session, be discussed with
that tranquillity of mind which their importance required,
it is in virtue of that national vote that you are here as-
sembled this day ; and I, beforehand, congratulate myself
with you for the zeal and efficacy which I am certain you
will employ in disposing of them ; and for the good which,
from your deliberations will result to the people, who
anxiously wish to see the country organized, the constitu-
tion rendered practicable, and rational liberty based on
solid, orderly, and regular institutions.
" The established relations between Portugal and the
Powers allied to my Crown, have continued without alte-
ration.
" A Plenipotentiary has been named to proceed near
the ' Holy See,' in the hope that all the difficulties which
have stood in the way of a complete re-establishment of a
good intelligence with the Court of Rome, will shortly be
removed.
" I cannot yet have the satisfaction of announcing to
you the termination of a treaty with Great Britain, for
the repression of the abominable traffic in slaves. I trust,
however, that the negotiations will shortly be brought to a
close, conformably to the wishes of both Governments,
and the honour of both Crowns, by which means the ne-
cessity in which my Government finds itself of maintain-
ing the protest which it made, not only against the Act
promulgated by the British Parliament in the year 1839,
regarding the said traffic, but likewise against all the ef-
fects which it may have already produced or may hereafter
produce, will cease.
" Very important occurrences have arisen respecting the
pecuniary claims which the British Government addressed
to mine. In consequence of the said occurrences I ap-
pointed a Plenipotentiary, who departed for the Court of
London, authorised to terminate this business. It is pro-
bable that you may, during the present Session, be made
acquainted with its termination.
" My Minister for the Foreign Affairs will present to
you a special report upon this affair.
" For the same object, of repressing the traffic in slaves,
my Government is at the present moment occupied in ne-
gotiating a treaty with the Government of his Majesty the
King of the French.
" The mixed commission, charged with drawing up the
necessary regulations for carrying into effect the conven-
tion of the 20th of September, 1835, with her Catholic
Majesty, respecting the navigation of the river Douro, has
concluded its labours, which will very shortly be submitted
to you. The termination of this affair will permit that,
following the enlightened policy which has been adopted
throughout all the Europea i nations, Portugal and Spain
may avail of this medium of communication, which nature
conceded to both kingdoms, for the increase and develop-
ment of their commerce.
" The Portuguese Commissaries are to form part of
the other mixed commission, which is to examine the ques-
tion which has been mooted respecting the property of the
small island formed in the Guadiana, called Da Cabeca
Alta ; this question will shortly be concluded amicably, and
agreeably to principles of public right.
" Having met with the bast dispositions on the part of
the Government of my august brother the Emperor of
Brazil, I have sent a Plenipotentiary to that Court, and
trust that it will shortly be in my power to acquaint you
with the establishment of commercial relations between
the two nations, equally advantageous to them both, who
arc so closely connected by mutual interests and reciprocal
good will.
" Using the most esteemed of the Royal prerogatives, I
granted an ample amnesty for political crimes. Many in-
dividuals have availed themselves of it, presenting them-
selves to the respective authorities ; many others who had
b:en suffering confinetnent for years were restored to liberty
