millions of the human family. Before she endangers
the possession of that inestimable treasure she should
yield to the dictates of prudence; she should recog-
nise her true safeguard, not in the frigates of a
friendly ally, but in the love of an ardent nation ;
not in loaded muskets, but in surcharged hearts; not
in a bragging and imbecile military, but in a loyal
and pacified population.

Intelligence from Lisbon to the 21st has been re-
ceived. The Canopus has taken her station ofl
Block-house Square, for the protection of the British
iubjects and British property. Sir HA AI ILT 01%
EYMOUE had proffered the mediation of the Britisi
Government to arrange between the Government and
the insurgents. The terms of arrangement proposed
were the proclamation of an amnesty, the formation
of a new Ministry composed of the moderate men
of both parties, and the immediate convocation of
the Cortes. To this latter article it is said
objections have been made. DIETZ, it is satisfactory
to know, has at length been compelled to quit the
country. He sailed from Lisbon on the 21st, in the
Iberia. The expulsion of this foreign iifaire du Palais,
cannot but tend to the advantage of Portugal. In the
meantime, MELLO and SA DA BANDEIRA are ad-
vancing upon Lisbon from the south, and matters
will, in all probability, be soon brought to a crisis.
The Junta have now an army of 14,000 men,
well fed, well armed, and well disciplined.
They have a large sum of money in hand
at Oporto, and are negotiating a loan. The
citadel of Viana is still unrelieved, and the garrison
will soon be starved into capitulation. SALDANHA
still remains in his old quarters.
H. M. S. Superb was fired on by mistake from the
castle of Queijo. An apology in writing was made
by the authorities of the Junta for this mistake of
their officer.

Madrid journals of the 19th have been received.

Don FRANCISCO had appeared in public with the
QUEEN on the 18th, the first time they have appeared
together for several weeks. It is rumoured that the
financial measures of SALAMANCA will be strongly
opposed in the Chamber of Deputies. Should they
be beaten, the Ministers, it is said, will resign, in
which case it is possible that the QUEEN may confide
the task of forming a new Ministry to Senor
OLOZAGA.

In consequence of the formal application of the
Portuguese Ambassador for assistance, four thousand
men have been ordered to march to Badajoz. Count
DE VISTA HERMOSA is their temporary commander,
but he will be succeeded by General MANUEL DE LA
CONCHA, so soon as the latter shall return from Paris.
An army of seven thousand men is now assembled on
the Portuguese frontier.

declined per cent. on the Madrid Stock Exchange
on the 19th, and closed at 301 for cash; the Five per

cash.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The Journal des Debats has the following from
Lisbon :

" We have this evening received important news from
Lisbon, which induces us to hope that the violent crisis
which has for so long a time agitated that unfortunate
country is at length about to end. The Queen of Portugal
having, agreeably to the stipulations of the treaty of qua-
druple alliance, claimed the intervention of France,Engiand,
and Spain, those three Governments have hastened to corn-
ply with her desire, and to assure her of their effectual co-
operation. The Queen offered the insurgents a complete am-
nesty, the re-establishment of the charter, the convocation
of the Cortes, and a mixed administration, consisting of mo-
derate men of both parties. A part of the crews of two
English ships, of a French brig, and of a Spanish corvette,
stationed in the Tagus, have been landed, in order to co-ope-
rate in the defence °tithe Queen and Royal Family, as well as in
placing in safety Lisbon, which capital is seriously threatened.
On the 12th of April the insurgents were in the following posi-
tions :—The left bank of the Tagus had been invaded by the
Count de Mello; he had entered Setabal, and even taken
possession of Palmella; he:had driven from it General Abren,
who, with the wreck of his troops had retired to the for-
tress of Almala, situate at half a league from Liston, on the
right bank of the Tagus. There the Queen's troops could
easily hold. Lisbon had not ceased to be calm, all the tur-
bulent and disaffected portion of the population having long
joined the insurgents. The English ship the Canopus was
stationed in front of the Place of Commerce. The Sidon
had arrived on the 11th of April at Lisbon, from England.
The departure of Counsellor Diets was more than ever
talked of, and it was said that the Viscount de Carreira
would, in his stun, supeittiLenu LLc eaucattoe or tile rrince
Royal and Infantes. That the insurgents would accept the
Queen's proposals was not doubted. Four thousand of
Spanish troops have been ordered to march to the frontier of
Portugal.

The same journal announces that a reconciliation has
taken place between the Queen of SPAIN and her
husband, Don FRANCISCO, and that the latter had,
for the first time, received the new Ministry.
According to the Union Monarckique, M. Bois LE
COMTE is to be the new French Ambassador at
Madrid.

The rumour of the submission of the Kabyles is
confirmed by a telegraphic dispatch from Algiers, of
the date of the 20th of April. The mountaineers
acknowledge themselves subject to France, and will
pay her an annual tribute, which shall be remitted to
Algiers. No enemy to France shall be received in
the mountains. All Europeans shall travel in the
interior of the Country in perfect safety, and the
roads shall be kept free and safe by the tribus and
their chiefs. On the other hand, so long as these
stipulations shall be observed, the Governor-general
of Algeria engages, in the name of France, not to
march any French troops into the country.
" The importance and utility of such a convention will,"
says the Journal des Debats, " naturally strike everybody.
The grand expedition to Kabylia, which has so often been
talked of, becomes useless; and the disagreement which had
arisen respecting the expedition between the Budget Com-
mittee of the Chamber of Deputies and the Minister of War
is thereby appeased. The vast country whnh now spon-
taneously submits forms a triangle, the basis of which
extends on the Mediterranean from Dellys to Budgia, and
the summit of which is at Setif. Budgia and Gigelli, which
are the two natural ports of Setif, had been blockaded tor
fifteen years past on the land side. Henceforward, Setif,
which supplies itself by Constantina, will enjoy those two
outlets, and already have French supplies been conveyed
from Budgie to Setif by the Kabyles, and faithfully delivered
n trade
at the latter place. Henceforward, also, Europea de will
be enabled to penetrate into a region which had hitherto
tbeen
inaccessible. The rich iron mines of thel rjura will be
J soon teach the
explored, and perhaps our engineers
will
Kabyles the mining methods of French science. The
prospects of Algeria are certainly greatly improved by this
convention."

Several petitions, praying for the total and imme-
diate abolition of slavery in the French colonies, were
presented to the Chamber of Peers on Saturday.
On the 22d Mr. O'CoNNELL left Lyons for Valence,
in a steamboat, accompanied by a physician of the
former town. The Learned Gentleman was to
sojourn in the south of France until he recovered
strength enough to resume his journey to Rome.
The weather was in Paris on Sunday " so inviting
as to attract to the races in the Champ tie Mars the
speculators in the funds, who usually pass their
sabbath in the Passage de l'Opera. Little was doing
in the Three per Cents. in consequence. The price,
77f. 85c., was nearly nominal."

We must, therefore, refer to the last London quotations from
the West-end for the market prices, which show a great
improvement in Newcourt and Erin-go-Bragh. It is thought
here that the field for the Cup will not exceed five or six
