PORTUGAL.

By the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's
ship Madrid, which arrived at Southampton yester-
day, we have advices from Lisbon to the 30th ult.,
and from Oporto to the Ist inst.
Orders were given on the 30th for the arrest of
several Liberal and Miguelite leaders.
It was rumoured that an understanding had been
come to between the Septembrista party and Don
MIGUEL, and that the latter had consented to the
conditions proposed by the former as the price of
their assistance. The conditions were—recognition
of the foreign debt, subject to adjustment (reduction
of interest), certain revenues guaranteed for the
regular payment of dividends, liberty of the press,
regular convocation of the Cortes, extended suffrage,
excluding military and naval employes from the fran-
chise, a general amnesty, &c.

The Carlist insurrection in the Spanish provinces

bordering on Portugal is becoming every day more
formidable. A Carlist Colonel from La Mancha, said
to be the bearer of dispatches from the Count DE
MONTEMOLIN, has come as a passenger in the Madrid.
Portugal continues tranquil for the present, but there
can be no doubt but that the Miguelite and Septem.
brista Chiefs are rapidly organizing their now united
forces.
The Bishop of BEIJO is dead, and Count VINHAES
is so ill that he is not expected to recover.
The vintage had begun rather earlier than usual,
the rains having set in on the 28d ult., after an un-
usually dry winter. The showers having, however,
been slight and transient, with sun and wind, the
grapes, instead of rotting, have been softened and im-
proved ; and the quantity of wine, which promised to
be rather small, had been greatly increased without
injuring the quality; the wine farmers were there-
fore in much bottn
Her MAXESTI'S brig Racer was in the Tagus.
It is said that the Portuguese Ministry have pro-
posed terms for the renewal of the commercial treaty
with Great Britain,;which have been rejected by Lord
PALMERSTON.

en route for the Brazils.

Public tranquillity remained undisturbed in Vienna
on the 16th.
VIENNA, SEPT. 13. The Wiener Zeilung of this
day contains no information respecting the tormation
of a new Ministry, or of the actual state of the
capital.
The Minister of War states, that on the evening of
the 13th, as the grenadier battalion were returning
from the city to their barracks, they were fired upon
by some persons lying in ambush, and one of the
men was severely wounded. Several National
Guards made a subscription to the amount of 90 flo-
rins for the wounded soldier.

HUNGARY AND CROATIA.
PESTI!, SEPT. 14.—We have before stated that the
Archduke STEPIMN has prohibited the circulation of
Kossrru's bank notes. KOSSUTH had only decreed
on the 12th the sentence of death against all persons
who should refuse to accept the Hungarian bank
notes.
We have received the following intelligence from
the head-quarters of the Bann of CUOATIA at
Setenye :—General Count ADAM TELEXY has placed
himself and his troops at the disposition of the BANN.
The BANN had nowhere met with the slightest oppo-
sition ; he is adored by his troops, and on his entry
into Setenye he was received by the Magyar popula-
tion with the greatest enthusiam. The 10,000
National Guards who were to have offered effectual
resistance were not to be anywhere seen. They had
destroyed the bridge at Serdely, the BANN therefore
immediately had a new one thrown over the Mur.
There are at present in Setenye one division of
Schmidt, with 14,000 men, fourteen cannons, and
eight rocket batteries. On the 15th the first division
Kempen, with 16,000 men and twelve cannon, will
join the BANN. The division Hartleit entered
Szakathum with 18,000 men and six pieces of
cannon, besides eight batteries of rockets.
It is said that KOSSUTH has resigned, and that
Hungary has submitted to Austria.

ROME.

M. Ro sar, the late Ambassador from France to the
Court of Rome, has accepted office as one of the
Porn's Cabinet Ministers.

NORTHERN ITALY.
The Pied montse Gazette of the 18th contains a
decree, making it penal for any able subject of Pied-
mont to elude his duties as a National Guard.
The Comstituzionale Subalpino of the 18th an-
nounces the- arrival on the 14th of CHARLES ALBERT'S
COMMiSSIOHLTS at Piacenza. It was believed they
were to organ ize a Government there.
The Patria of Florence announces, on the faith of
a provincial pa.per, that the Austrians are retiring
partly from Milan and Pavia, and intrenching them-
selves on the Adda. It also adds, from a private
letter, that a Russian diplomatist is at Milan, and in
continual communication with RADETZKY.

FAATERNITIC ExeloruriED.—A rather singular
instance of Fraternity was exhibited the other evening,
at the London station of the South-Eastern Railway
by some members of the French National Guards.
It appears that several officers and men belonging
to the National Guards of Paris and other places had
come over from the fête at Boulogr.e to have a peep
at the Great Metropolis, and on their return
went promiscuously into the same or second-class
carriages ; but on the officers thus finding
themselves on an equality with the men,
they suddenly jrimped out and took the liberty of
getting into the 'first-class carriages! This is another
beautiful illustration of the difference between theory
and practice I

MR. KERS CHENER'S BENEFIT AT THE SURREY
THEATRE.—Mr.. Kerschener, the lessee and manager of the
Surrey Theatro, but for whose spirit and enterprise the
theatre would 1 tave been shut up some months ago, and who,
since he has un lertaken the reins of management has catered
admirably for the public amusement, takes his benefit on
Monday, on which occasion he has secured the services of all
the available dran Latin talent at present in London, when we
have no doubt 'ais patrons will rally round him in great
force, and give 'him what his untiring exertions so richly
merit—a bumper.
LORD BROUGHAM ON THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.--•

We find it stated that Lord Brougham is about publishing a
Letter to the Marquis of Lansdowne on the French Revolu-
tion and French Affairs. We have reason to know that this
rumour is correct, and that the Letter will appear in a few
weeks. In Lord Brougham's hands the subject, which is at
once important anti intvesting, will be ably and fairly treated.

RUSSIA.

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of
last night):—
The Gazette des Tribunaux publishes a letter'
dated St. Petersburgh, 10th instant, which gives
an account of a disturbance which occurred in that
city in consequence of the cholera having recom-
menced its ravages with increased severity, and
particularly amongst the poorer classes. A report
was circulated amongst the people that the aris-
tocracy had employed poison to cut them off. They
immediately constructed barricades. The troops were
about to attack them, when the Emperor arrived on
horseback, attended by a single aide-de-camp. The
Emperor ordered the troops to fall back, and, ascend-
ing the barricade, he addressed the insurgents as
follows :

The cholera, my children, is a chastisement which
God inflicts on men, and to which they must submit
with resignation. All the reports of poisonings are pule
falsehoods, ivented by ill-minded persons, who aro the
enemies of the people."
The insurgents, who had cast themselves on
their knees, and raised their hands, as in the
attitude of prayer, when they perceived their
Czar, remained silent with the exception of two who
commenced a reply. The Czar ordered the insur-
gents to arrest those two men, and then commanded
the troops to return to their barracks. The insur-
gents immediately seized their comrades and delivered
them up to the police. They demolished the barri-
cades and separated peaceably.

HUNGARY.

While the Ban of Croatia keeps steadily advancing
at the head of his Croatian army, it appears
that the Moderate party have gained a tem-
porary advantage at Pesth. It is now asserted
that Count Batthyani and Baron Klein will enter
the new Cabinet ; and if, this be.true, sincl;if no revo-
lutionary movement destroys the combination, there is
some hope for an amicable arrangement between
the Hungarians anti the Sclavonie party. The
Vienna Cabinet have proposed the following basis
of a compromi,e :-1. The Ministers of Hungary
and Austria shall meet in council to discuss
the Cruation grievances. 2. Prosecution against
the metropolitan Rajaesics, who openly took the part of
the Croatians, shall be suspended. 3. An armistice be-
tween the two hostile parties shall be agreed to. 4. The
military frontier shall at once be placed under the autho-
rity of the Austrian Cabinet. There is every reason to
believe that the Hungarians will yield.
London, England, 1848-09-23

ROMAN STATES.

The Patrza, 1 lorerce journal, of the 13th inst.,
quotes a letter from Bologna of the 12th, stating that
the Austrians had thrown two flying bridges over
the Po, with a view evidently to march an army into
the Pope's dominions. A French frigate arrived on
the llth at Porto Cortino, the captain of which, ac-
companied by 20 marines, repaired to Ravenna to
visit the Prolegate.

The captive Republicans are being brought to
Bruchsal. The three days' Republic of Constanz
has been garrisoned by Bavarian troops; their arch
agitator, M. FICKLER, whom the deputy MATRY had
arrested on a charge of high treason, has most unac-
countably been set free. lie arrived at Constanz on
the 2d of May.
London, England, 1848-05-10

SWITZERLAND.

The Bale Gazette of the Bth inst. announces that
th 3 Helvetic Diet is to be convoked on the 11th of
May in place of the sth. The Vorort justifies this
measure by declaring that, according to positive
information, the eastern frontier of Switzerland is
menaced by the concentration of great masses of
Austrian troops.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Letters from Altona of the sth, in the Bonenltalie
and the Cologne Gazette, states that the Prussian
outposts are stationed at Horsen and that their head-
quarters are at Veile. These letters express great
apprehensions from the consequences of the Danish
blockade. It feared that the prosperity of the
German sea towns will receive a violent blow. An
enthusiasm prevails at Copenhagen which calls for
" war to the knife !" It is not supposed that the
Danes will yield unless the German troops succeed
in crossing over to Fiihnen, where they might
threaten Zealand. It is true that the Little Belt is
very narrow, but it is, nevertheless, almost impos-
sible for an army to cross it without a fleet.
London, England, 1848-05-10

WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. Thomas Fuller, of 91. Herbert-street, New North-
road, appeared before Mr. Arnold, the magistrate, upon
an adjourned summons, which charged him, as chief pro-
moter of the Great Southern Madras Railway Company,
with having unlawfully failed to make to the Registry-
office the returns of particulars required by the Act 7
and Nol the present Queen, c. 110. The summons had
been granted, with the authority of the Attorney-
General, to Mr. Thomas How, of Norton-street, Fitzroy.
square, who stated himselt to be a railway reporter, and
representative of the holders of shares to the amount of
25,0001. in the said railway.
Mr. Ballantine having shortly stated the facts for the
prosecution, proceeded to call the witnesses.
Mr. ARNOLD, however, observed, that to bring the
case within his jurisdiction as a magistrate, the complaint
should have been made within six calendar months after
the commission of the alleged offence; but a much
longer time had elapsed, and on that ground only he
was bound to dismiss the case, and leave the parties to
any remedy in the superior Courts.
The summons was accordingly dismissed.

HUNGARY.

Pesth and several Hungarian districts are reported
to have united themselves with Servia, and pro-
claimed HARA GEORGEWITSCII their King; but
JELLACHICK has proclaimed a counter revolution,'
and threatens to march ten thousand armed Croats
upon the insurgents, and restore the sovereignty of
the Emperor of AUSTRIA.
The Pesth Gazette contains five ordonnances signed
by the President of the Council of Ministers. In the
first the President expresses his astonishment that the
Aulic Council should continue to give orders to the
military Comitats of Hungary, and adopts mea-
sures to prevent a repetition of such an abuse.
The President insists particularly on the return
of the Hungarian troops from Italy, Gallicia,
and Moravia. The troops at present in Hungary
being inferior in number to 18,000 men, are in-
sufficient to maintain order, the National Guard not
being yet armed. For this reason Prince PAUL
ESTERHAZT, the Hungarian Minister for Foreign
Affairs, demands that the Hungarian troops shall not
be employed out of their own country, unless by
permission of the Hungarian Minister.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of May 9
SUGAR.—To-day an increased demand was expe.
rienced for all kinds of raw Sugar, and in severe
cases stiffer rates were obtained, notwithstanding
the market is well supplied. The home trade
continues to be the principle buyers. West
India Muscovado was, however, in excellent request
for both the scale and refining purposes; the rates paid
were, generally, 6d per cwt above those of Friday. The
purchases amounted to 630 hhds, &c., including a public
sale of 150 hhds, 12 tierces of Barbadoes, which went
at full rates—tine yellow at 42s 6d to 445, good 40s 6d
to 41s 6d, middling 38s to 39s 6d, and low 35s 11k1 to 37
per cwt.

of refined goods and offered advanced rates, the supply
is yet scanty. Brown grocery lumps realised 54s 6d to

Sugar several sales were made, and 27s to 28s were paid
for first and second sort.
MAURITIUS.—To-day there was no variation in the
value of Jamaica Rum, but no improvement took place
in the demand. East India is dull of sale at is 6d to
Is 6id proof strength. Leeward Island is little required,
and is not worth more than is ld proof. Of Demerara
60 puns have been sold at 2s 4d for 26 per cent over
proof, equal to is 10d proof.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon five parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 8,659 bags, were offered at public
sale, and the whole sold—white at full rates, whilst
yellow sorts went rather higher.
FOREIGN.—To day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar; but privately several inquiries existed. Stiffer
rates being asked, caused the purchases to be of little
moment.
MOLASSES.—The demand continues on the increase
for all qualities, and there is again a slight rise in the
value—the market is plentifully supplied. Since this
day week 400 puns have been sold. At auction 24 casks,
imported from Alexandria, were sold at 21s 6d for fine.
East India Treacle is more in request, at from 163
to 17s.

former value, real good ordinary at 31s, and
damaged 25s to 295. Of Plantation 660 bags
were all taken in, fine bold colory at 625, good
52s to 555, middling 50s, but the damaged sold at 35s to
48s 6d, very ordinary 14s. 2,449 bags and 452 sacks of
Costa Rica were bought fine ordinary pale foxey
sound at 31s to 325, a few lots sold at 27s 6d to 28s for
ordinary.

sale amounted to 7,770 packages. A good desire was
manifested by the trade to operate, and 3,000 actually
sold at full rates. Green of good and fine quality met with
the most attention, and realised stiffer prices—Congou,
common sold at 6id to 61d ; Oolong 114 d to Hid;
Hyson, fair to good 2s lid to 2s S,id, fine 2s 6d to

FRANKFORT-ON -THE-MAINE.

The Preussisclie Staats Anzeiger publishes the fol-
lowing resolution of the German Diet :
" FRANKFORT, MAY 3.—According to the advice of
the ' men of confidence' and the committee of 50, to
propose to the Federal Governments that they, fur the
better administration of the Federal Executive in the
present troubled period, shall immediately designate
three delegates, who are to join the Diet, the Diet dc.
crees these delegates shall be chosen as follows :—One
shall be appointed by Austria, one by Prussia, and one
by the other Federal States, to whom Bavaria shall
propose three men from different Federal States.
" These three delegates shall be commisioned to carry
on all negotiations and devise all measures required for
the security and welfare of the country, at home and
abroad ; to superintend the national defences and popular
armament; to mediate and unite the views and wishes of
the various Governments among themselves and with
the Constituent Assembly respecting the new German
constitution.

" The delegates will, in urgent cases, act according to
their own discretion, but in all other cases they will be
influenced by the advice of the Diet. They are respon-
sible to the nation and the Governments."

WURTEMBUItG AND BADEN.

The Suabian Mercury states that the Wurtemberg
troops who were employed in the Republican riots
are now stationed in the Valley of the Rhine and in
the Wiesenthal ; their head-quarters are at Lorrach.
The captive Republicans are being brought to
Bruchsal. The three days' Republic of Constanz
has been garrisoned by Bavarian troops; their arch
agitator, M. FICKLER, whom the deputy MATIIT had
arrested on a charge of high treason, has most unac-
countably been set free. He arrived at Constanz on
the 2d of May.

SWITZERLAND.

The Bile Gazette of the 6th inst. announces that
the Helvetic Diet is to be convoked on the 11th of
May in place of the sth. The Vorort justifies this
measure by declaring that, according to positive
information, the eastern frontier of Switzerland is
menaced by the concentration of great masses of
Austrian troops.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Letters from Altona of the sth, in the Borsenkalle
and the Cologne Gazette, states that the Prussian
outposts are stationed at Horsen and that their head-
quarters are at Veile. These letters express great
apprehensions from the consequences of the Danish
blockade. It is feared that the prosperity of the
German sea towns will receive a violent blow. An
enthusiasm prevails at Copenhagen which calls for
" war to the knife !" It is not supposed that the
Danes will yield unless the German troops succeed
in crossing over to Fiihnen, where they might
threaten Zealand. It is true that the Little Belt is
very narrow, but it is, nevertheless, almost impos-
sible for an army to cross it without a fleet.

PROVINCES OF THE DANUBE.
Prince BIBESCO is said to have expressed himself
decidedly against any incursion of the Russians into
Wallachia. At Jassy, in Moldavia, a sanguinary
insurrection of the Boyards against the Prince took

time the latter, aided by the regular troops, gained
the mastery.
