PORTUGAL.

The Madrid Gazette publishes, from the Diario do
Governo of Lisbon, the following proclamation, addressed
by her Majesty to the Portuguese people:—
" Portuguese,—Our country has presented to Europe
the deplorable spectacle of the effusion of Portuguese
blood, the destruction of property, the dissolution of
social ties, and all the evils caused by civil war. Love
of country and of liberty could not triumph over these
fatal illusions which have been inspired in the design of
leading Portuguese to arm themselves against my royal
authority and against the constitution of the state. In
order to obtain the submission which is due to me, and
to re-establish public order, I have resolved to adopt
every measure dictated by humanity and the public
safety, such as according a very extensive amnesty, and
the restitution of all employments and of all honours.
I have also resolved to convoke the Cortes, and to
proceed to the elections, after submission shall have
been duly made, and public order restored in
every point of the kingdom, in maintaining in
all its plenitude the liberty of elections, the free
exercise of all rights, and the scrupulous and im-
partial execution of the constitutional charter, in
all its provisions. The Governments of Spain, France,
and Great Britain, decided on the adoption of efficacious
means to assist me in putting an end to calamities so dis
astrous, and which set such a dangerous example, not
only gave notice of those measures to the chiefs who pro-
voked and directed the resistance, but secured their ex-
ecution by demanding the immediate submission of those
chiefs to my royal authority. The chiefs refused to
submit, feigned to doubt the stability of the guarantee
offered by the allied powers, and preferred combatting
against the laws of their country to relying on my
royal word, as well as on the faith and power of my
august allies.
" The true motive of illusion has now ceased, arid the
impossibility of prolonging the civil war is evident, after
the services which the foreign powers have commenced
to render me. My sentiments of generosity, however,
remain unchanged, and I have resolved to grant to all
persons implicated in the fatal dissensions, without any
exception, the same benefits, the same extensive amnesty
up to the period when the publication of this royal decree
begins to produce its legal effects, assuring equally the
execution of all our Royal decisions for the observance
of the constitutional charter of the monarchy. Portu-
guese, it is impossible that you can misconceive the
kindly sentiment which dictates these measures, and the
necessity of a prompt re-establishment of peace, concord,
and obedience to the laws. Whatever may be the
difference in political opinions, the first duty, the first
want, is the due observance of the constitution.
" My most sincere desiro is, that all my subjects
should profit by my kind intentions ; but when they
shall be known to all, justice, the necessity and the
safety of the state, demand that those who should refuse
to submit, and should attempt to prolong the evils now
agitating the country, shall be subjected to the action of
the laws."

This proclamation is followed by a decree, proclaiming
a general and complete amnesty for all political crimes
and offences committed since October 6 ; the whole to be
buried in oblivion, and stating that all persons deprived
of their honours and distinctions shall have the same re-
stored to them.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
animated. Sales 10,000 bales, including 1,200 American
and 800 Surat for export, and 500 American and 1,000
Sural, on speculation. There was an animated market,
and prices of American under 7d. were id. per lb. better.
Surat and Macao was id. per lb. dearer, and all other
sorts were *d. per lb. higher than last Friday. The
sales included 6,000 bales American at 6id. to 7d., 100
Bahia at 7id., and 3,000 Surat at 4d. to sid. per lb.
There was a firm market for Railway Shares, with a
tendency to improvement, but the buying orders appeared
to be but few.

We stated a day or two since our belief that there
would be further unpleasant occurrences in mercantile
circles connected with corn and other speculation, and
the fall at Marseilles of the great house of Forbin,
Janson, and Co., for an amount estimated at about half
a million sterling, but little of which, however, will be
due to English merchants, serves to strengthen our
statement. As regards the house in question its chief
connexion was with the sugar trade.

The auspicious weather, and the prospects of progres-
sive advancement in the growing crops increases the
disposition to do business, but as yet we cannot report
that activity either in the produce or manufacturing
markets which appears to be desirable. Symptoms of
confidence and augmented consumption have indeed
manifested themselves at Liverpool and other places,
and all that seems requisite is that this should " ripen,"
as it were, until the fruit is perfect, or in other words,
until buyers operate liberally upon their conviction.
The only ship arrival from abroad with late intelli-
gence of interest is from Monte Video. The inhabi-
tants were all on the qui vivr respecting the mission of
the English envoy, which it was hoped would prove
successful.

The English Funds opened rather firmer this morning,
but have receded a trifle since. Consols have been
888, and are now 881 for Account. The New
Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. have realised 90A to i;
and the Three per Cents. 888 I. Exchequer-bills have
been again quoted 7s. to 10s. premium.

There is not the least animation in the Foreign mar-
ket. Portuguese Four per Cents. are quiet at 32 to 324.
In Spanish no dealings are reported. Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents. have been 58k.
Railway Shares aro looking firm again, but with a
paucity of transactions.

MARQUIS OF TWEEDALE V. MURRAY ♦ND OTHERS.
JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave the judgment of their
Lordships to-day in this appeal, which came before their
Lordships yesterday. The case came before the House
upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session.
The question in the case arose upon the construction of
a lease of the farm of Corsbie, in the county of Berwick,
belonging to the appellant, and of which the father of the
first named respondent had been duriug his life the
tenant. The question was, whether the respondents (the
son of the late tenant, and the personal representatives)
were entitled, under the terms of the lease, to regain
possession of tho farm from the death of the tenant,
which happened in March, 1845, until the Whit Sunday
after his death, and, in consequence, to plough, sow, and
cultivate it, and to reap the crop of that year. The
Lord Ordinary decided against the respondents, who
took the case to the Inner House, where his Lordship's
decree was reversed. The appellants then brought this
appeal against that reversal. The Noble and Learned
Lord, after going shortly through the facts of the case,
recommended their Lordships to reverse the decision of
the Court below.
Judgment reversed accordingly.
