In the month of February M. RONGE was cited
before the Criminal Tribunal at Breslau, for having
outraged the principles of the various creeds autho-
rised in Prussia, in a work published by him at
Breslau, under the title of " Nene (loch alte Feinde"
(" New Enemies and yet Old Ones"). This
suit caused much uneasiness to M. RONGE'S friends,
but the result has been a complete acquittal
The sentence declares that, " though M. RONGE
does speak in most severe terms of the various reli-
gious communities legally established in Prussia, still
there is not anything that falls. under the action of
the criminal law. In consequence the tribunal de-
clares M. RozsGE to be acquitted, and places all the
costs at the charge of the State." A number of
houses in Breslau were illuminated the same evening
to celebrate this decision.

By the Pacha steamer intelligence has been re-
ceived from Lisbon to the 30th ult. At that date the
new Ministry had been definitively constituted as
follows:

President of the Council and Finance Minister—
Duke de PALMELLA.
Minister of War—Marquis DE SALDANLIA.
Interior—L. S. M. ()'ALBUQUERQUE.
Foreign Affairs—Conde DE LAVRADIO.
Justice—J. F. DE SOURE.
Marine—J. J. LOUREIRO.
Lisbon had been the scene of most extraor-
dinary events between the 20th and the 30th
of May. On the 20th Almada, Carilhas, and
several places on the south side of the Tagus
opposite to Lisbon, pronounced. On the 21st,
which was a saint's day, troops were paraded in
the streets of Lisbon, and the people were prevented
crossing the Tagus or promenading in the square of
Terceiro do Paco, facing the river. A collision, in
which many were wounded and some killed, took
place between the troops and the people ; and in the
night the guardhouses of the different stations
were set fire to. This collision had in a great
measure been occasioned by the irritating conduct of
the CABRALS, who rode openly about Lisbon, as if to
provoke the people. The Duke of PALMELLA was
sent for to form a Ministry ; but the intrigues
of the CABRALS, backed as their influence was by that
of the KING-CONSORT and the personal wishes of the
QUEEN, rendered his efforts for a time abortive. On
the night of the 21st the following proclamation,
signed by the QUEEN, and countersigned by the
Dukes of PALMELLA and TERCEIRA, was issued :

PROCLAMATION OF Tnic QUERN.
"The evils which afflict the Pcrtuguese nation, so worthy
of being free and happy, deeply afflict my heart.
"The complaints of the people cannot be otherwise than
listened to by me, when they are made known to me.
"The state of the nation imperiously demands the applies-
!ion of immediate and efficacious remedies with which my
Government is about to occupy itself incessantly.
" The ordinary session of the Cortes will be immediately
closed.

" The sanitary laws, and those for the reform of the system
of taxation, are going to be abolished by a royal decree, which
the Cortes will in due time lmmadeacquainted with.
" The eminent public opinion, the best counsellor in re-
presentative Governments, will serve as a beacon light to
my Government, and the freedom of the press is already in
force.

" Portuguese--The establishment of order and respect to
the laws is at the present moment the primary necessity, and
my greatest desire consists in the cessation of the disastrous
effects of the public inquietude. This state is indispensable in
order that the Government may occupy itself with urgency,
and, at the same time, with confidence, in whatever be ne-
cessary for the people really to enjoy the benefit and effects
of the constitutional charter.
My actual Ministers are commissioned by me to form the
projects of law which may most tend to the furtherance of
economy in the public finance, and the satisfying the prin-
cipa; necessities of administration and justice.
" The national representation will be convoked the mo-
ment the tranquillity of the country permits, for only then
can this representation be real and competent to transact the
public affairs.
" Portuguese, confide in me, as I equally confide in the
honour of this nation, which, with so much valour and
loyalty restored to me my crown, and the liberty of the
country, the keeping and preservation of which are objects
of my greatest solicitude.

" TIIE QUEEN.

" DUKE OF PALMELLA. OF TERCEIRA.

Bank of Lisbon had commenced on
he 18th, and had continued to the 20th, when the
officials made a representation to the Government, in
consequence of which a decree was issued authorising
the suspension of cash payments for three months.

Com-
pany, although shut up for two days, had
not suspended cash payments, and its credit
consequently remained unimpaired. On the
22d the Civil Governor of Lisbon, the Marquis DE
FRONTEIRO, was dismissed, and l'l. POLYCARPIO
Jon MACHADO was appointed in his place. On the
same day the liberty of the press and the guaran-
tees were granted, and Viscount DE BEIRE was ap-
pointed Governor of Oporto. The appointment of
the Duke of TERCEIRA, who had for years been acting
in concert with the CABRALS, and had held office
under them, gave great umbrage to the people,
more especially as it was understood that
he prevented the Ministry from appointing
any but supporters of the CABRALS to command
in the army, and that it was owing to his influence
that the QUEEN refused to appoint any Septembrist
to the Ministry. The CABRALS, meanwhile, had taken
refuge with GONZALES BRAVO, the Spanish Minister,
and ultimately they embarked on board the Pacha
and landed at Cadiz, where they were received with
great distinction by the Spanish authorities.
The QUEEN, on the 24th, reluctantly consented to
the appointment of Senhor ALBUQUERQUE to the
Ministry; he, however, refused to join a Cabinet of
which the Duke of TERCEIRA was a member, and
the latter was compelled to give way, and resign.
On the 24th the Archduke CONSTANTINE of Rus-
sia arrived, but no attention was paid to
him, and he drove about Lisbon in a hackney car-
riage. On the 25th the Cortes were dissolved, and
the new Cortes convoked for the Ist September. On
the 26th the new Ministry was definitively
formed, and on the 30th the QUEEN was, after much
difficulty, induced to sign a decree granting a general
amnesty to the Almeida insurgents, and re-establish-
ing them in their ranks and places. In Lisbon,
owing to the judicious and conciliatory measures of
the Duke of PALMELLA and his colleagues,
tranquillity had been restored; but in the pro-
vinces the people still continued in arms, and
with the exception of Lisbon, Oporto, Elvas, and the
towns in the Algarve, were in possession of nearly
all the principal places. PASSOS MANOEL, who was
a Minister in 1836, had joined the movement. The
people are in possession of the towns and forts on the
Tagus opposite Lisbon, and the country is swarming
with guerillas.

Madrid journals to the 29th have arrived.

and states his conviction that such a project, if corn-
pleted, would secure the preference of voyagers to all
parts of North America, not only from Britain,
but from every quarter of Europe, and would confer
incalculable advantages upon Ireland, by introducing
capital, and stimulating industry and enterprise. We
have only here adverted to its advantages in the peace-
ful character—the others are not less remarkable, but
our space forbids a further reference at present.

Letters from Constantinople of the 21st ult. state
that several regulations favourable to Turkish com-
merce had been promulgated, and that a new mer-
chant flag had been inaugurated and saluted with
21 guns. " This change," says the writer, "is not
without importance. The other flag, with the crescent
and the star, is a religious emblem in hostility to
Christians, who are, however, the most capable and
active agents of commerce and manufactures. The
idea of uniting all the races of the empire, without
any exception of creed, under the same flag, is a first
step towards the equality to desirable of all subjects
in presence of civil law, and a e )mmencement of
political rights accorded to Christians."

Intelligence from Athens of the 17th ult. states
that the Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. PERSIANI,
had presented to the Greek Government a note on
the subject of the loan, couched in analagous terms to
that of Lord ABERDEEN. It was also stated that for
the future M. PERSIANI was to receive his instruc-
tions from the Russian AmbassAdor in England,
M. BRUNNow.

A correspondent at Hamburgh writes, 28th ult.,
to the Augsburg Gazette:—." A commissary of police
has arrived here from Berlin, to make inquiries as to
the author and the truth of the contents of a letter
sent, a short time ago, to M. DE CANITZ, informing
him that a person of Hamburgh was about to proceed
to Berlin with the intention of killing the KING, but
refusing to give any particulars."
