Act.

Senhor RODRIGO'S Administration, and so the actual
one will for the present retain power, adopting,
however, such measures as may tend to allay the
feelings of the people, and to secure a true representa-
tion. The conditions under which they have agreed
to continue in power are yet unknown, but it seems
that they intend to postpone the elections in order to
have a true registration, and also avoid the inter-
female of the armed fore; which has dictated the
law until now. For this purpose they have already
superseded the Marquis of FRONTEIRA in his post of
Civil Governor of Lisbon, and an order of the day
signed by the KING, as Commander •in-Chief of the
Army, has been published in the Diario of the lgth,
against the military for their interference in the
elections, threatening the disobedient with exemplary
punishment.

The only parties; %Nho uld complain are the rand-
owners, whose properties may be required for the
purposes of the works, and compensation may be
made to them for the delay in the manner provided
by the Bill, and in which damages ar at present
assessed. It will, in fact, form a new element te be
takerrinto calculation by the juries, viz., the loss sus-
tained by the proprietors in consequence of the pro.
perty not having been taken and paid for within
.the time originally appointed for that purpose ;
and the companies cannot complain, because they
themselves will, by .1 majority of votes, have ap-
proved of the postponement, and of course they must
weigh the censequerkes, and consider the additional
expenses that will be incurred by such a course
before they decide thereon.
The course to be adopted with respect to the latter
class is also just and equitable. A similar extension
of time is to be accorded to them that is granted to
those whose works are already in process of con-
struction, but this additional restriction is to he in-
troduced, viz., that the directors of any company
whose works shall not have been commenced on the
day when the Bill was introduced shall not be em-
powered to proceed with the :-.onstruction of the
works without the previous consent of a certain pro-
portion of the share holders. That proportion has not
yet been decided on, but is to be fixed in Com-
.mittee, the Chancellor 9f the Exchequer sug-
gestipg two-thirds or three-fourths. Either ap-
pears to be rather large, considering the diffi-
culty of getting so great a number of persons
together, or even obtaining an expression of their
wishes on any subject whatever. It appears to us
that the desire of a dear majority, in number and
value, should be sufficient to get rid of the prohi-
bition.

Count DB FARROBO was, on Sunday, the 14th,
summoned to the Palace, and had an interview with
her MAJItSTY, who expressed a wish that he should
accept the nomination of Civil Governor, to super-
sede the Marquis DE FRONTEIRA. The Count ten-
dered his excuse, and Colonel LAPA (Baron
D'ORsisz), who commanded a division under SAI,
DANHA against the Oporto insurgents, has since been
appointed. How far his nomination will satisfy the
opposite interests of the contending parties remains to
be seen.

The great popular meeting took place on Sunday
last. It was numerously attended, and about four
thousand electors met in one of the central houses of
this capital, which has a large garden adjoining. The
Marquis Da LOULB took the chair, supported by the
leading members of the Opposition, several of whom
spoke, amongst them the ex-Deputies JOZB EsTa-
♦AS, and LURNEL, and the following resolutions
were carried by a majority :-
Ist. Resolved—That the meeting of the opposition
electors shall address to her MAJESTY an humble
request for the postponement of the elections, and a
due registration of votes.
2d. That all the electors shall go to the poll, and
try to bring the eleetors to vote, in accordance with
their constitutional right, prevailing upon them not
to abandon the urn ; and
3d. That in case any violence should be offered to
them in the act of voting, that they were to retire
peaceably from the electoral field without offering
any resistance.
During the meeting, twelve petty officers of the
2d battalion of volunteers tried to insult the electors,
and make disturbances; one of them went so far as
wrest from the hands of an elector the manifesto of
the committee that the elector was peaceably reading.
This unwarrantable act was severely chastised by one
of the bystanders, who struck him with a stone, which
brought him to the ground. No further disturbance
occurred. It is lamentable that these warriors show
such courage now against unarmed citizens, pro-
voking them daily so as to endanger public tranquil-
lity, when before the Protocol their martial spirit ap-
peared so cast down.
On Tuesday, the 16th, a deputation of the great
electoral meeting called on the Minister of the In-
terior, Senhur CAILVALUO B MELLO, and delivered the
petition of the opposition, requesting her MAJESTY
to prorogue the elections, and to give such orders as
may ensure a due registration of all the voters who
have a right to be electors. It seems the Minister
received the deputation with great urbanity, and
promised the request should be laid before her MA-
JESTY to obtain a decision, after hearing her respon-
sible advisers.
A few nominations of civil governors have taken
place, and amongst them Baron DE VALLONGO for
Oporto, and Dr. MoNIz (ex-Deputy and lately a
member of the Mixed Commission at the Cape of
Good !-lope) for Coimbra. These nominations, how-
ever, are of little consequence, as the political situa-
tion of this country is indeed most deplorable. To
say the truth, but little is known abroad as to the
true state of things in Portugal, and hence the em-
piricists which frequently appear in the correspon•
dances of some of the newspapers, and in the criti-
cism of many writers abroad, who are not over
scrupulous in prescribing panaceas for a dangerous
disease, without having a practical knowledge of the
malady.
Portugal is completely lacerated by the two ex-
treme parties, bent upon the destruction of each
other, in order to remain masters of the field, and
hence offering, as it were, to dispose of the throne
and the nation as if they were public property. Both
parties aim at power, and care little as to the means
of obtaining it. The party of the Cabrals, weak in
numerical strength, is, however, audacious, enterpris-
ing, ambitious, and revolutionary, owing to the per-
sonal character of its leader, who strives for power,
oaring little about the result, and despising the ob-
stacles he has to surmount. If this party could suc-
ceed, I have not the least doubt that a tremendous
revolution would naturally be the result of such
an event, and perhaps (may Providence avert it) the
throne would be crushed to atoms in the vortex of a
new convulsion. The Septembrist party, known by
its detnocratical ideas, strives also after power, and if
by any unforeseen circumstance it should be success-
ful the result will be a military revolution, as the
army, notwithstanding that the majority are averse to
the Cabrals, yet are opposed to the Junta partisans,
not so much In political principles, but essentially
with regard to individuals who are the ostensible
loaders of this party. Thus, unfortunately, the vital
questions politically discussed are for the most part
questions of men not of principles.
I will not say that the present Administration, how-
ever, composed of honest and conscientious men, is the
most adapted to the present difficult circumstances,
but what I can declare positively is that the princi-
ples they profess are undoubtedly the most fitting for
Gcvernment, as they are staunch defenders of the
Quells and the Charter, tolerant, moderate and for-
bearing.
When will the Protocol end ? This is a question
of great national interest, as it is really impossible to
obtain any good whilst foreign influence keeps alive
the elements of discord! The tutorship of England
and France in the Peninsula has been the cause of
great evils, and will continue to produce the excep-
tional state in which both nations have been kept.
The best course that England can now adopt is to
let us alone : this was what the merchants of Mar-
seilles asked once of Louis XIV., when the KING put
the question to them, in what way he could protect
their trade ? Laissez nous faire, was their simple and
witty answer.
Let me say two words about the financial state of
this country. There is a general outcry against the
Government because it does not meet its engage-
ments, nor procure the means of meeting them. In
general, foreigners speak superficially about our
financial state, and the natives are biased by party
spirit. Since the year 1834 all men in power have
concealed the true situation of our finances, repre-
senting Portugal in a most prosperous situation ; yet
since that year the revenue could never cover the ex •
penditure, and so well demonstrated is the fact, that
in that ♦ery year after the civil war, when SiLvs,
CAR YALU() was Minister, with all the resources he
could derive from the sale of national property, he
was obliged, nevertheless, to resort to loans,
and especially a very considerable one, to cancel
the paper money. CARVALHO'S successors in
1836, notwithstanding their economies, which were
the abandonment of the payments of the dividends of
the foreign debt, which was capitalized in 1840—be-
sides what was due to the public employes, also had
recourse to loans. Since that period, Count TOJAL
lived exclusively on private loans, without hazarding
one penny of his own property.
It is true, that during CABRAL'S Administration,
many companies were established, the public employes
were more regularly paid, and great jobbing went on.
In the end all such colossal companies were mere
bubbles—the capitals for the great enterprizes existed

The proposition with respect to the Bills now be-
, fore the House for adjudication appears to be a re-
newal of that which was last year brought forward ;
it is that a Committee shall be appointed, who are to
take into their consideration all the schemes for
which petitions have been presented, and to decide
thereon which shall be proceeded with, and which
passed over during the present session. It will be
in the recollection of our readers, that, in 1846,
a Committee was appointed for a similar purpose,
and that so many difficulties were found to
exist in the way if coming to a satisfactory
decision, that, after frequent sittings and much deli-
beration, the attempt was abandoned, and every Bill
was permitted to ccire before the House on its own
merits, without reference to the number of other
projects, or the amount of expenditure thereby con-
templated, and that consequently Bill. were passed
authorising an outlay of nc less than 124,500,000/.
sterling. There is, however, little prospect of such
extensive powers being again demanded, at least for
some years to come. It is more than probable that
it is only those in connexion with existing lines--
such as deviations or short constructions—that will
be sought for during the present session. The
present Committee will, therefore, have a much
easier task, and one of a less invidious na-
ture than that which was imposed on the
Committee of 1846, who coul 1 scarcely be ex-
pected to decide between conflicting projects and
rival undertakings without hearing the evi lence that
might be adduced and the arguments ur.ed on behalf
of the contending parties.

The large demands of the railway companies may
have had tome effect in increa.ing the difficulties sus-
tained by all classes in the country during the present
Monetary crisis ; but it is most unjust in any manner
to ascribe the calamity to the creedal of railways.
No, it was owing to the iniquitous monetary laws, by
which the industry of the nation is fettered and re-
strained. There is, perhaps, scarcely any descrip-
tion of undertaking that requires so small . n amount
to be sent out of the nountry, in proportion to
the entire outlay, as the construction of railways.
They afford an extraordinary quantity of employment
to the labouring classes, who would otherwise remain
in idleness, a heavy burden on the property of the
country, in place of materially increasing the national
wealth. It is unnecessary to dilate on the wonderful
benefits that have been derived frori, those gigantic
projects; how greatly time has been economised,
and every description of property in their vicinities
increased in value. With a better system of finance,
and a well-regulated currency, there would be no
necessity for preventing the full developmentof the
national industry, the employment of every man able
and willing to work.

The Swiss Vorort published on the ‘l2d an an-
nouncement that a convention for t..-e capitulation of
the canton of Zug had • been :,n;ered into by two
deputies of that canton and General DuFouu, subject
to the ratification cf the authorities of the cantcn, and
that the federal troops were to occupy the territory
on the 22d.
An action had been fought on the 20th between
the federal troops •,nd those of lug, in which the
latter had been defeated. On the following day two
commissioners arrivesi at General DUFOUR'S head-
quarters to treat for peace. The following are the
terms of the convention:—
" Article 1. The cant= of Zug secede.. from the Son-
derburrd.
" Artic!o 2. The federal troops will occupy the canton
in the evening of the 22d.

"Art. 3. The federal troops will be lodged and main
tained in the canton of Zug according to the military
regulations.

Art. 4. Zug will disband its troops, whose arms will
be deposited in the cantonal arsenal. Tho troops of the
other states of the Sonderbund will quit the canton
of Z•ig. _

"Art. 5. The aims bt the landsturm are likewise to
be deposited in the cantonal arsenal."
The remaining articles are a mere repetition of
those of the capitulation of Friburg.
General Duroug published on the 22d a proclama-
tion to his army, announcing to them that on that
day they would enter the, territory of Lucerne. The
General invites his troops to deport themselves as
generous warriors, to spare the wounded, to respect
the churches and all edifices consecrated to religious
worship, to protect all defenceless individuals, and
commit no depredations. The federal army was
likewise to enter on that day the ttrritory of Schwyte
and Zug, and the head-quarters were to be trans-
ferred from Aarau to Al uri.

The intelligence from Ticino of the 19th states
that the Sonderbund .lolurnn of Uri and the Valais
had not advanced beyond Facilo, but that two bat-
talions of Grisons were hourly expected at Bellin-
, zone, and that Colonel Lu rim had force sufficient to
defend the town until the arrival of reintc•rcements.
General Ranowrrz left Berlin on the 21st inst,
for Frankfort, where the affairs of Switzerlani will,
it is said, undergo a preliminary discussi m. The
visit of the Presider.t of the Germanic Diet, Count
MUNCH BELLINGHAUSEPT, to the Courts of Carls-
rube, Munich, and Stuttgard, has not been attended
with success, as those states refuse to advance troops
towards the Swiss frontier, much to the mortification
of Austria.

Oa the 22d a protracted firing of musketry Wil
heard at Aarau, and the Gazet4=: di Rua states that
it was reported that the Lucerne troops had been
completely defeated by Genoral DUft:Uli on that day.

Several cases of cholera have occurred at Constan-
tinople. The .rourivii de Constantinapar, of the
Bth, says—

" The malady does not spread here with its habitual
rapidity, and its character is very mild. In the space of
thirteen days only nine undoubted cases have been re-
ported ; and although epidemic complaints generally are
very violent at the very commencement, and seldom
spare the first victims, out of the nine persons attacked
four only have died, while one has completely recovered,
and three are going on favourably towards recovery.
As regards the ninth case, it is too recelit to enable us
to judge of the issue. Frc.m this it is to be hoped that
tt:e cholera will not make any great ravages at Constan-
tinople. We may remark, too, that the persons hitherto
attacked were in a position which rendered them parti-
eLlarly liable to the disease. Some of them were of the
very poorest classes, and others had suffered great grief
from the derangement of their affairs, and had given
th,mselves up to all sorts of excess. The cholera as far
as has hitherto been observed has not shown it elf in
the. environs."
The cholera has entirely ceased at Tribiaond and
Bagdad.

in the imagination of the creators of such schemes—a
mock credit was constantly in action, the Bank
with its bank-notes supplying the emergencies of
the moment, so as to furnish more than thirteen thou-
sand contos to the Government, or throe millions ster-
ling; and at last all this system of deception
went to the ground. Let me add to this, the
events of the 6th of October, and the civil
war which followed those, and hence the
causes of the present miserable state of our
finances. Such being the state of affairs, how is it
possible that the present Administration can find the
means of providing the necessary funds to meet the
daily expenses, when besides the evils already men-
tioned the revenues of the Customs are for the major

part mortgaged or anticipated ? With economy, with
a good system in the collection of the revenue, with a
reduction in the interest of the debt, and, above all,
sith honesty and good will, it is yet possible to re-
medy the malady that so seriously afflicts this coun-
try, which no doubts deserves a Letter fate than her
present one.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
The Speech of the Queen of ENGLAND is the
theme of universal comment, and, with the exception
of the Republican National, of universal commenda-
tion. The Ministerial Debats says—
" The speech of the Queen of Englaed is, both as
regards foreign affairs and domestic policy, une of the
most important and substantial that we have had for a
long time. A grand act of European policy which it
was easy to foresee has become public and official. The
Queen of Great Britain announces that she is in com-
munication with her allies on the subjt et of the civil
war which ravages Switzerland, and compromises the
general peace, and that her Government is ready to par-
ticipate in the measures which may be considered neces-
sary to restore the blessings of peace to the Helvetic
Confederation. Neither the word of intervention, nor
that of simple mediation is pronounced ; the choice of
one or the other of these two modes of action will be
without doubt determined by circumstances which may
coange from one day to the other. In any case, how-
ever, the principle is laid down, and Switzerland now
knows that, if the bases established by European treaties
ale to undergo some modification, it will only be with
the concurrence of the powers who partake in the
guarantee. In declaring that she has confidence in the
maintenance of general peace, the Queen of England
has, without doubt, in view, the state of agitation in
which the peninsula of Italy is plunged— Up to this
time we know of nothing that could shake this con-
fidence."
The Opposition Constitutionnel is even more tin •
stinting in its commendations. It says—
" This document is remarkable for a character of
frankness and honesty peculiar to governments which
are really constitutional. Tnere is scarcely reference
in it to anything except the interior affairs of Great
Britain. A paragraph, however, which seems to an-
nounce the approaching convocation of a Congress for
re-establishing peice in Switzerland, will be remarked.
the attitude of Mr. Peel, Chargé d'Affaires of England
to the Helvetic Confederation, indicates in advance the
position which his Government will maintain in the
Congress."
The Radical Commerce is equally liberal in its
praises of the Speech. It says—
" Queen Victoria declares that she is in communica-
tion with her allies with respect to the affairs of Swit-
zerland, and that she has expressed to them her disposi-
tion to emp!oy, in conjunction with them, her friendly
it.flueace, with the view of restoring the benefits of
pence to the Confederation. We hasten to take a note
of this solemn declaration. Peace will be restored to
the twenty-two cantons; but, without doubt, peace, with
all the guarantees of order and good government, which
did not exist in that country betore the breaking out of
the civil war, as is fully proved to us by the possibility
o!' forming a state in the midst of that state, of a league
capable of resisting the sovereign power of the Diet by
arms. We have to express a regret that, on this occa
sion, as on so many others, it is by England, and not by
France, that the first true word of the situation, and the
only word in conformity with the international right of
the constitutional powers, has been uttered. England
has spoken of friendly influence; but M. Guizot, in the
name of France, ha I dared to cause an armed interven
Lion to be hoped fur; he had even proposed it to M. de
Metternich, as an article in the German Joarnal of
Frankfort proves to us."

The National says nothing concerning the allusion
to Switzerland. It or.ly revels in the idea that
" Ireland remains attached to the side of Eng-
land like a gnawing cancer."
The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance con-
voking the Chambers for the 28th of December.
The Constitutionnel has the following :—" It is an-
nounced that Marshal SEUASTIANI has waited on the
KING to protest, in the name of a great number of
lieutenant-generals, against the projected nomination
to the rank of lieutenant-general of a major-general
who at this moment fulfils high administrative
functions."

A Cabinet Council was held at the Tuileries on
Wednesday, over which the KING presided in person.

THE WASHINGTON STEAM•SHIP.—The Ruby steamer
has been lying in our roadstead since Tuesday, waiting
the arrival of the Ocean Company's steamer, to take
out her mails and passengers, that she may prooeed
directly for Bremen should she have sufficient coal in
for that purpose. She was to have sailed from New
York on the 11th inst., but it is now supposed she must
have been detained there beyond that date.
THE BRILLIANT.—This beautiful vessel went out of
harbour yesterday, and had her first trial; her sailing
qualities are of the first class—she sremed almost to fly
through the water. She is considered to be more than
a match for the Fir famed Waterw•itch.

Ponvsmovrir, Nov. N.—An order has been re-
ceived this morning, directing the Admiral-Super-
intendent to make the necessary arrangements for the
formation of a library in this dockyard ; it is presumed
to be accessible, under certain restrictions, to the work-
men in the evening. All the men belonging to the bat-
talion for musket drill are to be instructed, in addition,
in the battery and field-piece exercise in future, and
every officer and man is to take his turn of duty. The
exercises are to be resumed immediately.
HEALTH or THE LORD CHANCI:LI.OR.--We have
much gratification in stating that the Lord Chancellor is
steadily progressing towards convalescence. The in-
quiries have been exceedingly numerous, and have in-
cluded those of her Majesty, the Prince Consort, the
Duchess of Kent, and a considerable number of the no-
bility.
GREENOCK, Nov. 23.—We are sorry to understand
that the barque Lady Sale, of Greenock, which arrived
here to-day, about one o'clock, has had to be put under
quarantine, owing to the master and several of the crew
being ill with fever. The disease broke out two da) s

LONDON MECHANICS' INBTITUTION.—Last night
the elocution class (conducted by Messrs. B. 11. and
L. . Smart) gave an entertainment to the members of the
institution and their friends, in the theatre of the insti-
tution. The entertainment was divided into two parts,
and consisted principally of selections from the works of
popular authors, which were recited by the pupils of the
class. In addition to those selections, the farce of Slate
Secrets concluded the first part, and Morton's farce of
The Original terminated the second part, and cloud the
evenings entertainment very agreeably. TflP class ex-
hibited very great proficiency in the several r citations,
and the audience testified their approval by hearty ap-
plause. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the
weather the theatre was well filled.

IMMENSE INFLUX OF RAILWAY LABOURERS INTO
TUE MIZTROPOLIS.—Owing to the recent stoppages of
many of the railways now in progress, a vast number of
labourers have been thrown out of employment ; the
consequence of which has been that thousands have
rushed to the metropolis. Some of the principal streets
were yesterday morning thronged with them, dressed in
their curious garb, many of them soliciting alms from
the shopkeepers. The magistrates at some of the metro-
politan police•courts have also been applied to for assist-
ance, as the majority of them are now penniless.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000
bags, the Market closing quietly. Railway Shares were
less buoyant.
As the public, by the inform Ilion Lfr,rded in Parlia-
tinnt, have become acquainted with the main points of
the Rank return up to Monday last, the statement in last
night's 6;azeite, which is to Saturday only, is of leas
importanoe. Still it is interesting to note that the p-
