at the head of which was M. JOSE ALEX-
ANDER DE CAMPOS, a Deputy, former Minister of
the QUEEN, and Professor of the University; and
a third, at Leiria, under the direction of M. NON-.
TINIIO D'ALBUQUERQUE, a Deputy, late Minister of
the QUEEN and Director-General of the Public Works
of the kingdom. The members of the three juntas
had all assembled at Leiria, for the purpose of march-
ing thence at the head of the insurgents upon
Lisbon. The troops of the north had retired into
Oporto, and declared that they would not fight
against the people. The colonels of three regiments
of the garrison of Lisbon had made a similar th,cla-
ration. All commercial transactions were suspended
and the capital was in the greatest state of agitation.

Madrid papers of the 28th have been received.

According to the Heraldo, the rumour of an ap-
proaching modification of the Minist:. begins to
gain credit. It is said that An'r,
hmiON and PIDAL
will retire, to make room r:or M. PACHECO and other
members of the CP.oservative Opposition. Tne ac-
counts from f2,ie provinces continue satisfactory.

The shares of the Bank of San Fernando were done

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
They contain the following official account of the
massacre of the French prisoners by ABD-EL-KADER.
The Minister of War has received a dispatch from
Lieut.-General DE LAMORICIERE, which unhappily
•onfirms the sad news of the massacre of the French
soldiers who were in the hands of ABD-EL-KADER.
The certainty of this sorrowful event has been ac-
luired through a private of the ilth battalion of the
Orleans Chasseurs, whq succeeded in effecting his
-scape. This man, whose name is HOLLAND,
was
wounded aro, made prisoner on the 23d September,
1845. lle arrived at Lalla Marina, on the 17th ult.
•
tits account is as follows :
"The deira was encamped about threee leagues from the
llolouia. The prisoners, who were about 300 in number,
•.ccupied about twenty gourbis in the midst of the camp of
.egular infantry. The camp was inclosed by high bush-
.cork, in which were two openings. This made the guard
•f the prisoners more easy. On the 27th of April, in the
tiernoon, a letter was received at the deira from Abd-el-
Kader. Three horsemen arrived at the camp where the pri-
,,ners were to fetch the officers in the name of Mustapha
den Tami. They were taken to the deira under pretext that
hey were to be pre,ent at a f&te at the Kalifa's. The officers
removes were MM. Cognord, Lazaret, Marin, Hillerain, Ca-
ias:,e, Thomas, an adjutant. There were also taken away the
inarechal-des-loges, chef of the hussars, Testard, Trottel, and
two others. At night the other prisoners were drawn out
In a line. We were orderered to bring all our effects with
us. When we had been thus collected the regular infantry
arrived, and we wereseparated to be conveyed to their gourbis,
seven of us were taken by the inhabitants of four gourbis,
and we were all made to enter the same gourbi. I told
Iv comrades that something would happen during the night,
and not to go to sleep, but for us to be ready to defend our-
,elves if it was intended to kill us. I had a French knife
which I found on the banks of the Molouia three days }re- -
viously. In entering the gourbi I found a reaping hook,
which I gave to my comrade l)aumet. At the slightest
noise I said, I will go out the first and you will follow me.
Towards midnight the soldiers of Abd-el-Kader set up a cry.
That was the signal. I went out first and met a regular, and
stabbed him in the breast with a knife. He fell. I then
jumped over the inclosure of bushes which surrounded the
camp and fell to the grornd. Whilst I was trying to extri-
cate myself some soldiers arrived and endeavoured to cap-
ture me; my trousers were in a bad state and remained in
their hands. I escaped in my shirt. In a ravine a hundred
metres from the camp, a party in ambush fired upon
me, and I was slightly wounded in the right leg by a
ball. I continued to fly and then mounted a small hill,
and sat down to see if any of my comrades were able
to join me. In turning towards the camp I heard the cries
of the prisoners and of the people of Abd-el Kader. The
musket firing lasted for more than half an hour. My coT-
rades, to judge from the noise that I heard, must hP.,:fe de-
fended themselves. To escape from the mas
gourbis of the regulars, several prisoners had
'taken refuge in
our gourbis in the middle of the camp ; i ..jacre in the
order to drive them
out the gourbis were set on fire,
',.ad they were fired upon
as they came out. Seeing th.:c no person followed me, I
crossed the Molouia, and w
`allied on for three nights, con-
cealing myself during
t:ne day. The third day there was
a thunder storm with rain and a violent wind. I con-
tinued my mare;;, nearly naked and in great suffering. I
proceeded towards a Moorish village, where I arrived
before night. o.'a entering the village I met some women
who were co':ne to draw water. On seeing me they fled,
uttering 'cries. I entered the village. At the end of a
small street I saw a young man about twenty years old.
Nl' i'en he saw me he drew his dagger to kill me. I
"wished to die, and advanced towards him. I had approached
within three or I.ur paces, when another man left a neigh-
bouring terrace and held back his arm. He then took me to
his house and warmed me for two or three minutes, after
which he took me to his sleeping-place. 'l here he tied my
feet and hands, and threw a horse-cloth over me ; seeing that
I said nothing, for I saw that I had not long to suffer. I
r lien saw nine prepare to lie down. Thinking that he wished
to wake me suffer, and kill me afterwards, I made a sign to
him to make haste and put an end to me without torture.
lle told me that he did not intend to kill me. I
passed the night as I could. In the morning he came
aNd untied me. I remained seven days with him. He
would not let me go out, as there were people in the
avimilaagne

EXPREsS FROM PARIS.

INSURRECTION IN PORTUGAL.
Our intelligence from Lisbon of the 23d ult. is
highly important.
All the towns and villages situate on the south of
the Tagus, and opposite that capital, had joined in
the insurrection.

The annual session of the Cortes was closed on that
day.

The Revolnca() de Setiembre contains a royal
decree, dated the 21st, accepting the resignation of
the Cabral Administration, and another appointing
the Marquis of Pahnella President of the Council
and Minister of the Interior, and Minister ad interim
of Justice and Finance ; the Marquis of Saldanha, the
Envoy of Portugal at Vienna, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and the Duke of Terceira, Minister of War,
and charged ad interim with the Foreign and Colonial
Government.

'i he same journal publishes a proclamation of the
Queen, dated the 21st, and countersigned by the
Marquis of Paltnella and the Duke of Terceira,
announcing that the evils which the nation
complained of profoundly afflicted her royal
heart, and that the grievances of the people
should be redressed. Her Majesty then declares the
laws of public health and the new tributary system
to be abolished, and orders all restrictions to the
liberty of the press to be removed.

The Civil Governor of Lisbon had been superseied
in his post by M. Machado.

The Madrid journals of the 29th bring no news.

The ArronNEY-GENEHAL rose at the slitting of the Court
this morning, and stated that in this case he had complied with
the direction of the Court to inspect the different counts of
the indictment, with a view to ascertain which of them
there were,and how many, upon which a nolle prosequi should
be ettered, and after having given the whole of their counts
the best cotsideration he could, he had c- me jt
the determination that there were five of the counts upon
which a nol,e prosequi might be entered; as the indict-
ment cottaiLed sixteen counts, there would stilt remain
eleven upon which he was clearly of opinion that he had a
right to caltfor the judgment of the Court ; and he now
begged leave to say ke would call for that judgment on Mon-
day_ next.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that that would be too
soon to call tor judgment, and would not be affording hint
sufficient time to ascertain whether he had not a right to
move tor a new trial upon some of the other counts

This was an action to recover tie----sum of 121. 17s. 6d.,
under the following circumstances appeared that the
defendant had been entitled to an annuity, which he had

that the latter should allow one quarter's dividend to the
purchaser for costs. On the settlement, however, the plain-
tiff paid off the lien of the Commercial and General Life As-
surance Company and the rest to the defendant, not deduct-
ing the quarter's dividend as agreed, and he now sought to
recover it as money paid in error.

This was an action to recover the sum of 111. 55., for goods
sold, and the defendant pleaded a set off.
The plaintiff is a carman, and the defendant a corn and
coal merchant in Islington. The proof depended on rather
singular testimony.
For the plaintiff a discharged servant of the defendant was
called, who proved that a certain quantity of straw was taken
in by him, but be could not remember any clover, coal, or
flour being sent back in return, or at any other time. On the
contrary, a discharged ervant of the plaintiff's was called,
and swore that, to the best of his belief, he did not deliver
so much straw as spoken of, and he swore to deliveries of
clover, beans, &c., over a period of four months, although
the defendant in the particulars of his set-off only claimed
for during two months.

The UNDIR-SHERIFF left the case to the jury, and they
