EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
OFFICIAL. ACCOUNTS FROM LISBON.

We have received by Express the Elm'lo of
yesterday, containing the following most im-
portant intelligence :--
(From the Etoile of yesterday.)

We have received, by an extraordinary con..
veyance, the Madrid Gazette of the 20th inst.,
which enables us to give official news from
Lisbon, dated the 11th inst.

The Infant Don Miguel received orders from
Ills august Fattier to repair on board the
ship Windsor Castle. He obeyed immediately ;
the King was already on board the same
ship. The first interview presented a most
touching and imposing spectacle. The firmness
and the majesty of a Father and of au offended
Sovereign were combined upon the countenance
of the King with the feelings of nature, whilst
the young Prince did himself honour by his
filial submission. His Royal Highness explained
the artifices and seductions by which he had been
led to act. The King, after having represented
to him the fault that he had committed, present-
ed to him, in token of pardon, his august bands
on which the Infant respectfully bent. He thou
withdrew into another part of the ship.
The Corps Diplomatique were present at this
solemn scene, and did not return to land till the
evening.

The King is still (11th of May) on board
the Windsor Castle. It would appear that the
King will not disembark until the afternoon
or to-morrow, the day of the anniversary of his
birth. His orders are every where executed
with due obedience. All things will take their
accustomed course ; and certain energetic mea-
sures will prevent the return of the excess of
which we have been witness.

The illuminations and rejoicings of eYery kind
prove the general happiness.

The Marquess of Palmella addressed, on the
10th, the following official letter to the Duke or
Villahermosa, Ambassador of his Catholic Ma"

jesty :--

" The Undersigned Minister and Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs has the honour to
send to the Duke of Villahermosa, Ambassa..
dor, Sec., a copy of the Proclamation, and of
the Supplement to the Gazelle, which, with other
pieces, have appeared on the subject of the
events which have resulted in the reestablish-
ment of calm and of public order, which had
so unfortunately been disturbed.

44 Every kind of reflection would now be super-
fluous, your Excellency having been yourself ao
eye-witness of every thing that has passed. But the
Undersigned cannot but express to your Excel-

lency the feelings of gratitude by which his
Majesty is penetrated, for the assistance and

the firmness with which, in common with the
rest of the Corps DeplomatiTie) you bare
protested against those acts, which, being arbi..
trary and illegal, were in violation of those prin"
ciples that nations have recognized for the con'

servation of public orders.
ts it is impossible to doubt but that the
unanimous resolution taken by the worth/
representatives of the Sovereigns, the AIN°
and Friends of his Majesty, on the dal
of the 30th, and the declaration that the/
made in common, powerfully contributed to
prevent the disastrons consequences of this
unhappy crisis. Never will the remembrance
be obliterated of this act—one of the most dot"
traordinary in the history of diplomacy, but
which has only demonstrated the friendly Ohm"
and the community of sentiments which have

Many, and which guarantee to the people the
benefits of which revolutions have sought to de-
Prive them. Never will the magnanimous reso-
lution of his Majesty be forgotten, of transporting
himself on board the Windsor Castle at anchor
in the Tagus, end belonging to one of the
most ancient, and most powerful, and af-
fectionate of his Majesty's Allies. It is
°ll board that ship that are assembled
round the person of his Majesty all the
Alpinbers of the Corps Diplomatique, and
it is from these, as from a point inaccessi-
ble to dissensions, that are to emanate the good
order and the tranquillity desired by the faithful
subjects of his Majesty, at the same time that
his Majesty has there received from the
lips of the worthy representatives of his august
Allies the assurance of the satisfaction that they
has.e experienced from his noble determination.

the strongest assurances that the Law for the

We are enabled to state in the most positive
terms, that there will be no meeting of the Em-
perors at Prague, nor any Congress of Sovereigns
in the present year.

The following is an Extract of a Letter from
the Agents to Lloyd's, at Genoa, dated the 15th
Instant :

" Information has arrived from Malta, stating that the
Admiral, previous to his sailing for Algiers, had received in-
telligence of the arrival of a squadron of men of war at Alex.
alldria, and had sent off one of his cruizers to reconnoitre
theuv.

GIBRALTAR, MAY 6.—The vessel set fire to
by the Independant privateer was reported at Cadiz to have
been a Spanish polacre, with a cargo of bullocks. A steam-
Packet, from Cadiz to San Lucre, was taken by an Insurgent
Privateer, the passengers searched and plundered, after which
the vessel was released.

Ws have received the Eloile and the Pilot(' of
Tuesday. The Pitote supplies no political intel-
ligence of the slightest interest. In the Chamber
nr Deputies, on Monday, M. COUTARVEL made
4 Report on the part of the Commission charged
to examine the project of Law relative to recruit-
ing the army, in which the Spanish campaign is
thus alluded to—" Our army has recently gi'ven
Proofs of an admirable discipline, which so well
*i*comes.the courage of French soldiers." The
Chamber ordered the Report to be printed, and
4xed Friday next for its discussion. The fol-
lowing are extracts : •

The Etoite gives the substance of the Report.
eaf the Committee of the Chamber of Peers on the
taw for the reduction of the 5 per Cents. The
Committee, respecting whose opinion some doubt
had existed, having reported in favour of the
Plan, being unanimously of opinion that the right
of paying off the rentiers belongs to the nation,
the majority thinking also that the proposed plan is
advantageous. The Committee stated also that
they had received a communication from the
Rakers who had formed the agreement with the
Finance Minister, announcing that they were
ready, on certain modifications of the conditions of
their contract, to give for five years the one per
4nt., which will be cut off from the income of the

lowest description of stockholders. The Com-
mittee express a hope that something will be
done for the small holders, who have no other
means of subsistence.

We have received Hamburgh Papers to the
02d, end Brussels to the '24th, with the Allge-
meine Zeilung of the 18th. We have given ex-
tracts from them in another column.

New York Papers to the 26th ult. inclusive,
were received yesterday, being two days later than the previous
accounts. By the Ardent schooner, arrived at Baltimore on
the 22d, in 22 days from Porto Hello, information had been re-
ceived that a Colombian squadron of six sail had arrived at
Porto Bello on the 26th of March, from Maracaibo and Car-
thagena, and landed 1,500 troops, who crossed over to Panama.
A letter received at Porto Bello, dated the 26th of March, stated
that a vessel had arrived on the opposite coast from Callao,
bringing information that the Royal Spanish army had made
proposals to BoLivan to capitulate, on condition of being sent
to Panama to cross to the Atlantic. Letters from Laguayra of
the 10th of March mention the arrival there of a French sloop
of war, in six days from Martinique, having on board a French
Consul, to reside in Laguayra.

A numerous attendance of Peers was present
last night in consequence of the summoning of the
House, for the purpose of considering the motion
of Lord LAUDERDALE respecting Joint Stock
Companies. His Lordship has divided his mo-
tion into two Resolutions, merely in order to
make a slight distinction in favour of Com-
panies who may have a Charter from the
Crown before they apply to Parliament.—
But the principle of the motion is the actual
depositing of the money subscribed in the Bank
of England before a Joint-stock Company Bill
be read a second time. Last night his Lord-
ship only moved some slight amendments in his
Resolutions, and postponed the consideration
till they should be printed. Some discussion
took place on the second reading of the Bills
restoring four Scotch gentlemen to the Peerage
forfeited by their ancestors. The only question
was the best mode of ascertaining the descent
and title of each claimant, and Committees are to
be respectively appointed for the investigation.
Three of the gentlemen proposed to be restored
took the oaths of allegiance, &c. at the bar—viz.
JOHN GORDON, Esq. (to be Viscount Keninure),
Wm. NAIRN, Esq. (to be Viscount Nairn), and
JAMES DRUMMOND, ESq., M. P. (to be Viscount
Strathallau). The fourth, Mr. ERSLINE (to be
Earl of Mar), was absent from extreme old age.

We observe that the Marquess of DOWNS/if RI,
who feels so deep an interest in whatever slay
promote the welfare of Ireland, and who himself
has held forth so good an example on his own
estates, by giving education and employment to
all the peasantry around him, yesterday pre-
sented a Petition to the House of Lords from Mr.
OWEX, relative to the poor of that country, and
from which it appears that he has prepared prac-
tical measures, by which employment and educa-
tion may be given to the peasantry, with great
economy and advantage. A similar Petition
was also, we see, presented to the House
of Commons last night, from the same Philan-
thropist, by Mr. Seurat° RICE. The importance
of the subject cannot but strongly interest man-
kind, and as far as Mr. 0 wxx's plans have hither-
to been put in practice, they seem indeed to hold
forth a promise of all practicable happiness, if
they could be universally adopted. It is pro-
bable that in consequence of these Petitions
Committees will be adopted to take the subject
into the attentive consideration of both Houses,
that it may undergo a complete national inves-
tigation.

The only business of interest in the Commons
was the abandonment of Mr. KENXEDY of the
Bill which he had introduced to deprive the Poor
of Scotland of the benefit of the Poor Laws. In
consequence of the strong objections urged against
it, the Hon. Gentleman himself moved that the
Bill be read a second time that day three months.
The House gladly acquiesced in the motion, and
all sides joined in reprobating a measure, the
principle'of which was such that a poor man
►night lie down and be starved to death for want
of a compulsory arrangement which might secure
him relief, and in hoping that uo future attempt
would be made to revive it.
