PORTUGAL.

---
Letters and papers from Lisbon to the Qth, from
Oporto to the 10th, and from Vigo to the 11th, have
arrived by the steam-ship Jupiter.
At Lisbon there were left her Majesty's steamer
Merlin and the usual Portuguese squadron. At
Oporto was her Majesty's steamer Orient.
As a token of the political liberty enjoyed in Por-
tugal, we may mention that a young Spaniard, of the
name of Acuicax, a son of AGUILAR, who was
Spanish Minister here some years ago, has been sum-
marily ordered to leave Portugal by the Government.
It seems that his offence was having scribbled some
republican poetry of his own in the album kept at
Victor's Hotel, at Cintra.
The discount on Bank notes was 39 per cent. Ex-
change on London, 30 days' sight, 521; 90 days'

Eitnisum.—ln the account of the Great Northern
Railway meeting, in our paper of yesterday, we stlted
in the engineers' report " that the works now in oourse
of execution extend over 17 miles." It should read
"171" miles.
DUIILIN.—In Dublin there is a certainty of har-
mony, in one form at least. Mdlle. Jenny Lind has ac-
cepted an engagement to perform at the Theatre in the
operas of La Figlia, Sonnambula, Puritani, Lucia,
&c. She will have in her suite Belletti, Roger, F. La-
blache ; with Balfe, Platti, Zeiss, Lavigne, L'Anglois,
Remusat, Nadaud, and other first-rate instrumentalists.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The Paris journals of yesterday have reached us
in due course. They continue to comment at consi-
derable length upon the position of affairs in Italy.
The opinion we recently entertained respecting
CHARLES ALBERT is confirmed. The Parisians
begin to look upon him not only as ambitious, but a
little bit of a braggart. Talking so largely as he
did about what he would do to the Austrians, sup-
posing they dared to march upon Milan, and then
coolly turning tail and yielding up to them, almost
without a blow, the whole of Lombardy.
The contrast between the would-be King of Italy
and the last monarch who wore the iron crown of
CHARLEMAGNE, is too striking to be lost sight of
by a Frenchman.
It is even said that CHARLES ALBERT had a larger
force than RADETZIET, and spared his own men under
the fallacious impression that France would march at
once to his assistance, when it received the account
of the fall of Milan; and that immediately
on the combination of the Piedmontese and
French armies, the Germans would easily be
driven from Lombardy, and beyond the Car-
pathian mountains. It is certain, as has been
said by one writing from Paris, " never did a man
gain a fine kingdom more easily, or lose it more
stupidly."
The bubble of the KIWI'S ambition has burst.
Perhaps another will rise in an hour to dazzle anew
the imaginations of the Italians.
To-day being the feast of the Assumption the
Bourse and public offices will be closed, and there
will be no meeting of the National Assembly.
To France also the day is for ever memorable, as
being the anniversary of the birth of her wonderful
and immortal hero, NAPOLEON.
The National states that M. MORGAN (we presume
that Mr. O'GoENLAN is meant), one of the leaders in
the insurrectional movement of Ireland, has succeeded
in escaping to France, and has landed at Havre.
It is stated that BARBES is dangerously ill in the
Fort of Vincennes, and is attended by one of his sis-
ters, who never leaves him.
The Pairie of yesterday evening gave the following
paragraph, which has been copied by several of the
journals of this day
" England has consented to enter with France on the
path of mediation, but she does not wish to have with
the French Government any written communication as
to the affairs of Italy, and particularly as regards the
intervention. She has sent Mr. Bulwer, her former
ut, Madrid, to Communicate her decisions to the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs. This diplomatist
arrived in Paris on Monday last, and left on the follow-
ing evening. lie declared in the name of England that
she was opposed to any armed intervention, either now
or hereafter."
It was rumotrod yesterday in Paris that the chief
of the Executive Government was about to send in
his resignation. It is scarcely necessary to say that
the report was without the smallest shadow of
foundation.
On this paragraph Galiriani Messenger remarks :
" We can assert in the most positive way that, with
the exception of the fact of Mr. Bulwer's visit to Paris,
there is not a word of truth in the above paragraph. Mr.
Bulwer's momentary presence in this capital was solely
on private business. He had no mission from his Go-
vernment of any kind, and we have even reason to be-
lieve that the Government was not aware that ho had
left England for France."
The investigation into the attempt to assassinate
M. THIERS is being proceeded with. On Saturday
the juge d'instruction and a commissary of police ex-
amined the spot. Front the information already ob-
tained it appears that two attempts to assassinate
,THIERs have been made—one, that which
took place on- the sth, and which has already
been recorded ; the second occurred on the 3d, when
a shot was fired at the window of the house of M.
CHBVREUX, which it is presumed was mistakenfor that
of Ai. THIERS, and the window for that of his room.
The marks on the window-frame and the looking-
glass are supposed to have been caused by pieces of
cut balls fired from a house in construction in the
Rue d'Aumale. A ball was also found in the garden,
beneath the window.
Considerable attention is fixed on a Bill to be at
once brought before the Assembly, for the purpose of
enabling debtors and creditors to make friendly ar-
rangements without the necessity of intervention by
the bankrupt courts. The Delia, says that unless
this Bill pass, the most ruinous amount of failures
must take place,, ,
An official list is published by the Moniteur of the
number of insurgents still confined in the prisons and
fortresses of :Paris, from which it appears that the
number is 8,258. This is independently of the 500
sent to Brest, and the 1,250 set at liberty. The fol-
lowing is the classification of the insurgents who are
already sent from Paris to be transported : —5B
cabinet-makers, 43 locksmiths, smiths, or mechanics,
42 labourers, 32 engravers or workmen in cop-
per, 24 masons or stone-cutters, 22 clerks or
shopmen, 16 tinmen or coppersmiths, 15 copper-plate
printers, 13 tanners or leather- workers, 11 servants, 10
guarde mobiles or republicaines, 9 cooks, 9 house
painters, 8 tailors, 8 artists, 8 jewellers, 7 con-
cierges, 6 grocers, 5 wine merchants, 5 bakers, 4
guardians of Paris, 4 carpenters, 2 limonadters, 3
lodgers, 1 proprietor, 1 architect, 1 short-hand
writer, 1 hotnme de lettres, 1 Polish interpreter, 18
strangers, Piedmontese, Prussians, Belgians, &c., and
the rest profession unknown. 42 of these are under
20 years of age, 2 are only 15, 77 from 20 to 25,
100 from 25 to 30, 177 from 30 to 35, 60 from 35 to
40, 58 from 40 to 45, 50 from 45 to 50, 21 from 50
to 55, 7 from 55 to 60, and ,4 from 60 upwards.
The Courrier Francais, which has been almost
systematically opposed to an alliance between France
and England, now acknowledges the importance of
such an alliance, and shows that it is the interest of
England, as well as that of France, that a good un-
derstanding should exist.
Colonel DUMOULIN, at one, time officier d'ordonnance
of the Emperor NAPOLEON who was arrested on
suspicion of being concerned in the insurrection of
June, has been set at liberty, it having been proved
not only that no charges could be established against
him, but that he had offered his services to General
LAMORICIIIIIII in the cause of order. The Colonel, it
may be remembered, played an important part in the
revolution of February,

THREE o'CLocL.—There has been a great rise in the
Rentes and Railways to-day, and the Bourse appeared
more cheerful than it has been for a long time past. The
general feeling was that the peace of Europe would
not be disturbed in consequence of the defeat of
Charles Albert. The success of the Loan had also a
favourable effect. For the Account, the Three per

AUSTRIA.

Accounts from Vienna to the 7th describe the
splendid fel4ivities in that city in celebration of the
victories gained by the German troops in Lombardy.
A grand parade of the troops and National Guards
constituted the chief attraction in these festivities.
The deputation of the Austrian Diet to the EM-
PEROR, at lnnspruck, had communicated the result of
their journey to that assembly.
On the morning of the nth, the Emperor of
AUSTRIA took his departure from that place for
Vienna, accompanied by the whole of his family.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.
The debate in the sitting of the German Parlia-
ment on, the 11th inst., was upon the motion that
" The National Assembly votes the sum of 2,000
florins (1651.) as a monthly remuneration for the
President, the month to be reckoned from the day of
election, and the disbursement to be made from the
Imperial Treasury. At the same time the Assembly
debars the President the right of renouncing this
emolument." Scarcely 200 out of 650 members
were present; yet after a somewhat interesting dis-
cussion, the motion of the right and custom for the
grant of the 2,000 florins was carried by an over-
whelming majority.
