these two rank Cabralists are responsible for these
occurrences, it being a fact that in more than one
instance the police, or municipal soldiers, have been
seen amongst the assailants.

On Thursday last, the 4th instant, her MAJESTY
was safely delivered of a Prince. Of the royal issue
there are now seven children, five Princes and two
Princesses, and the Braganza dynasty is pretty well
secured as far as succession goes. During her con-
finement the KING CONSORT signs all the royal
diplomas.

The organs of the Cabrals, the E.standarte (Stan-
dard) and the Matraca (Battle) continue lavishing
abuse upon England and the English. Of course
Sir G. li. SEYMOUR is not spared, and French policy
gets the lead in the columns of such papers, which
do not conceal their plans, calling loudly for rebellion,
in order to put down English interference.
A grand meeting of the Progressist party for the
ensuing elections was to be convened on Sunday, the
7th instant ; it was, however, postponed for next Sun-
day, the 14th, under the presidency of the Marquis
DE LOULE. The central committee has addressed the
following circular to the electors of the provinces :

"Citizen Electors,-----The Electoral Committee of
the national party summons you to the poll. Let the
supreme right of a free people be exercised in the act
of polling. Frauds, threats, violences, should never
prevent you from performing this duty, for where-
ever the elections may not be crowned with success,
your meetings of themselves will be a protest in
favour of the liberties of the country, and against the
faction that oppresses it. Recently emerging from a
glorious struggle, the country is now about to en-
counter another that will not be less so; and the
liberty which you defended with arms with so much
patriotism is now to be defended by the peaceable
means which the law of the country has placed at
your disposal. Citizen Electors,—To the poll—to
the poll i "

The Diaro, the official organ of the Government,
has published a declaration to contradict the assertion
which appeared in the English newspapers, about
Admiral NAPIER having received part of his arrears
as a pensioner of the Portuguese Treasury. The
statement is incorrect, as the fact is that Sir CHARLES
NAPIER has been placed on the same footing as other
pensioners of the State, and thus he cannot be ac-
cused of having improperly used his influence as a
British Admiral to obtain such payment. The de-
claration in the Diaro is as follows :
" We are authorised to declare as false and calum-
nious the assertion that has appeared in several papers,
that Admiral Napier has addressed any kind of claim
to the Government in relation to his private and
personal interests or affairs. It is also with equal
certainty that we declare that Admiral Napier has
not received one farthing of his pension or allowance
due to him from the Portuguese Government, beyond
the period of the month of February of the present
year, and that in this respect he is in an exactly similar
and no other position than the rest of the individuals
of his rank, having equal claims and similarly
situated."

In addition to the perplexities arising from the
state of the country, the poverty of the Treasury
increases daily, and to pay half a month of October
last to the employes it was necessary to sweep the
public coffers of their last farthing in order to make
up the amount. The eight months in arrear belong-
ing to the present year will be very likely left behind
for general measures, as happened last year with the
months from February up to May. It is, indeed,
wonderful to see how the machine of Government
can be kept going without resources. From the
provinces no taxes can be collected, whilst the autho-
rities are selected amongst the exaltados of the
Cabralist faction. To obtain the payment of taxes in
the rural districts, it is necessary that the people at
large should place confidence in the local authorities,
who in general are mere petty despots.
Trade continues still very dull, and money is
scarce. The discount on bank notes has been in-
creasing to 2,020 reis, or 42 per cent.
Madrid papers of the 7th have arrived.

The Gaceia publishes a decree appointing the Mar-
quis of MIRAFLORES President, and the Duke DE
Gos and the Prince D'AGLONA Vice-Presidents of
the Senate. General Ros DR OLANO is nominated
Ambassador to Lisbon, and General CORDOVA has
had conferred on him the Grand Cross of the Royal
and Noble Order of CHARLES M. According to
the Clamor Publico, these two gentlemen, on their
dismissal from the Ministry, entered into a very
angry correspondence with General NARYAEZ, and
in the course of it Ros DE OLANO threatened to
publish "a full, true, and particular account " of
what had occurred just previously to the General's
accession to power. In the hope of preventing the
scandal of such a publication, NARVAEZ, says the
Clamor, conferred on them the dignities to which
they have just been gazetted, and caused the Herald()
to speak well of them. He, moreover, allowed Ros
DE OLANO 10,000 reels for his journey to Lisbon,
and 20,000 for his first establishment; but the Clamor
asserts that tlfe two ex-Ministers are not yet satisfied,
and that they still threaten to publish an account of
the circumstances attending the recent change of
Ministry.
The Eco del Comercio publishes the following
correspondence between ESPARTERO and NAR-
VAEZ

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Excellent Sir—The Queen our Lady, under date
of the Ist of the present month, has deigned to sign
the following decree Taking into consideration
the eminent- qualities which distinguish Don Bal-
domero Espartero, Duke de la Victoria, and desiring
to give him a public testimonial of my royal esteem,
and of the confidence which I have in his capacity,
not less than his affection to my person, I nominate
him my Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipoten-
tiary to her Majesty the Queen of the United King-

"Madrid, 6th Oct.':
ESPARTERO'S reply was as follows
" Excellent Sir,—l have received the royal order
by which the Queen our Lady has deigned to name
me her Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipoten-
tiary to ber Majesty the Queen of the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ireland. I shall always be
grateful for this new proof of the royal esteem with
which her Majesty has honoured me ; but I suppli-
cate her Majesty, in her goodness, to exempt me from
such an elevated charge; it being necessary for me
to live for some time separated from public affairs,
in order to attend to my private affairs, which have
been neglected for so many years. I pray your Ex-
cellency to make this known to her Majesty, at the
same time assuring her of the purity and sincerity of
my sentiments, and that I shall always remain her
most devoted servant and faithful subject. God pro-
tect your Excellency for many years. London, 24th
October.

The removal of CONCHA and the appointment of
PAVIA to the command of Catalonia had excited a
great sensation at Barcelona. SALAMANCA has re-
cently had a private audience of the QUEEN, which
lasted three hours.

The Carlist Generals ELIo and ALAAZ have entered
Spain.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.

In the Commerce of Friday we find the following,
on the subject of the speeches of the Duc DE BROGLIE
and Lord JouN RUSSELL at the Lord Mayor's dinner :

" The union of these two nations, which have so
long made war on each other, and which are called by
national sympathy to preside together over the pacific
labours of the new civilization is a grand spectacle
offered to the world. The Lord Mayor worthily in-
terpreted the sentiments of his country with respect
to France. Our Ambassador did not fail in the task
imposed on him by our dispositions with respect to
England. On the one part and the other the union of
the two nations was warmly manifested in terms in
conformity with the superior interests which demand
this union. 'Why does not the conduct of the two
Governments respond to the sentiments which have
just been expressed in London in the name of the
nations themselves ? Assuredly we do not pretend
to make any one responsible for the rivalries
which in different places divide France and England.
In the life of great states there are necessary con
flicts respecting which we must not suffer illusions,
even in the interest of the maintenance of peace, for
which it is important to measure our efforts by the
dangers which threaten it. But to render lasting the
union of two nations, which meet on all occasions in
the midst of the enterprises of their activity and
their ambition, it is indispensable to assign to these
two nations a common object towards which they
may direct themselves without thwarting each other.
This common object, which cannot be peace itself,
must be what makes peace real and fecund—power
devoted to the active protection in the world of the
conditions of order, labour, and liberty. The union
