BERKELEY to his constituents, in which he declares
that—

"Lord Fitzbardinge has officially signified his inten-
tion of withdrawing his support from his brothers, the
Liberal Member., for Bristol and Gloucester."
This is " out-Heroding Herod," with a vengeance !
It inclines us, too, to the persuasion that personal
pique, and not mere political sentiments has insti-
gated Earl FITZHARDINGE to the adoption of these
reprehensible steps. The matter must be further
elucidated ; it cannot rest where it does.

The following circular has been just sent by the
POPE'S Prime Minister, Cardinal Gizzz, to the public
authorities in the several Roman States :

" The manifestations of satisfaction which have been
hitherto mado in the several Pontifical states in cele-
bration of the acts of the new Pope Pius IX, our most
clement Sovereign, have made known how great is the
general joy at his happy accession. The joy of the peo-
ple is the happiness of the Sovereign and his Govern-
ment, and the august Pontiff has been greatly moved by
it. However, his mind, always inclined to prefer the
well-being of his subjects to his own glory, feels a degree
of pain, mingled with his joy, when he finds that these
festivals are the produce of voluntary contributions,
and is unwilling that on his account his people
should be burdened with expenses. The Holy Father,
moreover, sees with grief, that the masses of the popu-
lation, by abandoning themselves to this enthusiasm,
neglect their ordinary occupations, from which they
acquire the means of subsistence, and his paternal heart
is doubly afflicted by this loss and detriment to a portion
or his subjects. From these motives his Holiness wishes
that there should be an end to these expensive demonstra-
tions, and that every one should return to the manage-
ment of his private affairs, and receive peaceably the mea-
sures of the Government for the general good. You will
hasten to make publicly known these sentiments of the
Holy Father, and particularly on occasions which may
give rise to applications to the municipal or other autho-
rities for permission to celebrate new festivals, which
may bring from town to town fresh assemblages of the
people. If, in any place, collections have been already
made for such festivals, and it be not possible to restore
to each contributor the sum he has given, such contri-
butions may be usefully applied in providing subsistence
for the people during the winter, through the means of
some work of public utility. From this his Holiness
will experience a double consolation, in recognising, in
the first place, an obedience in his subjects to his de-
sires, and in seeing, in the next place, a turning to the
relief of the indigent that which had been gathered to do
honour to his name in a manner perhaps more brilliant,
but less worthy of and less agreeable IC bum, than the
Wessings of the poor and needy.

"CARDINAL GIZZL"

-We have received advices from Lisbon of the 11th,

The intrigues of the Camarilla have succeeded in
displacing the Palmella Ministry. On the night of
the 6th the counter-revolution was accomplished by a
coup d'etat. The Ministers were summoned to the
Palace at ten o'clock, immediately dismissed, and the
following appointed as their successors :
Marquis DE SALDANUA.—War, and President of
the Council.

Viscount OLlVElRA—lnterior, and ad interim

Finance.

Don JOSE DE PORTUGAL—Marine.

M. VALENTE FARlNHO—Justice.

The Duke of TERCEIRA. to supersede Count DAS
ANTAS as Military Governor of Oporto and the
Northern Provinces.

The Marquis of FEONTIERA to be Civil Governor oi

Lisbon.

His brother, Don CARLOS, to command the Muni.
cipal Guard.

In short, all who were dismissed by the late Mi-
nistry are to be restored to their posts—save the CA•
BEALS themselves, who, nevertheless, will ere long be
reseated in power.

At the same time a proclamation of the QUEEN
was published, which we give in another column. All
the measures of the late Ministry have been reversed—
the National Guards are dissolved—the dissolution of
the Cortes is revoked—the electoral law is repealed—
the publication of all newspapers is suspended for 20
days, and care was taken to effectually gag the citi-

wens by filling Lisbon with Cabralista troops and
officers during the night. It is said that Count
TOJAL will be offered the portfolio of Finance.
The effect of this change has been to lessen the
panic of the money market, the discount on the bank
notes having fallen from 12 to 6 per cent. The new
Government, however, has not been able to raise any
considerable loan.

Madrid papers of the 11th and 12th have been re-
ceived. They contain long accounts of the cere-
monial observed on the occasion of the marriages of
the QUEEN and the INFANTA. A detailed descrip-
tion of this ceremonial will be found in another
column.

The Gaceta of the 10th contains a royal decree
appointing Don FRANCISCO D'Assis Captain-GensTal
of the army; that of the 12th contains another royal
decree, conferring on him the honorary title of King,
with the style of Majesty. It likewise contains a
decree conferring on the son of Count BRESSON the
rank of Grandee of Spain of the first clsss, with the
title of Duke de Santa Isabel.
On the 12th a grand levee was held at the Palace,
at which Mr. BULWER and the rest of the Foreign
Ministers were in attendance.

The Madrid Bolsa remained closed on account o;
he festivities.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
They all comment on an analysis of the notes of
the Marquis of NORMANBY and M. GuizoT, which
appears in the Revue des Deux sondes (and for which
we will endeavour to find room to-morrow), and of
which, as far as one portion of M. GUIZOT'S note is
concerned, the following article from the Debats
may be considered as a resume:—
" We hope that after the example of France, Spain
having again entered on the paths of order and modera-
tion, will feel herself strong enough to allow her institu-
tions to take that development which they require. We
are inclined to think that the marriage of a French
Prince with the Infanta of Spain, by drawing closer the
bonds of the two countries, will not be without influence
on that progress which we ardently pray for. But it is
a progress which Spain ought to accomplish, and which
she will accomplish, herself. This generous nation,
henceforward in possession of a regular Government,
will not fear to efface by degrees the traces which ten
years cf civil wars and intestinal troubles have left in her
laws. The marriage of the Duke de Montpensier does not
by any means aim at causing us to interfere in the
domestic affairs of Spain. We repeat it, this marriage is
of itself an event sufficiently great and glorious to dis-
pense with our exaggerating in any way its importance. It
changes nothing in the balance of power, but it main-
tains the old traditions of French policy—that policy
which historians have so much celebrated, and which a
writer of our own time, M. Mignet, has pointed out in a
marked manner in his excellent work on the succession
of Spain. The marriage of one or the other of the
Spanish Princesses with a prince not of French blood
would have struck a blow, perhaps irremediable, at this
policy; the marriage of the Duke de Montpeesier re-
news the chain. This is what excites the jealousy of
some English publicists; this is what causes the despair
amongst us of two classes of persons—of our republicans
who would have preferred seeing France sharing a
humiliation with the dynasty, and of that miserable
coterie, whose low envy cannot perceive, in an event
which honours for ever the administration of M. Guizot,
anything but a misfortune for M. Thiers."
The France, the Legithuatist organ, observes that
the English Government had refused to sanction a
Coburg alliance before the 22d of August, the date of
M. G UIZOT'S declaration, that France would resume
an independent action as England was no longer
within the limits of the reciprocal convention.
"There is in this," adds the France, "a most revolt-
ing contradiction, for, at the time spoken of, Lord
PALMERSTON had perfectly appreciated the represen-
tations of France, and had deprived her of every pre-
text for an isolated action."
The Constitutionnel gives the following summary
of the controversy :
" What remains of the long discussion carried on be-
tween the French and English press on the subject of
the Spanish marriage? In two words it is as follows,
according to the implicit admission of the Ministerial
journals. By three years' negotiations our Government
had arrived at placing itself in this alternative:—either
to see the Queen and the Infanta married against the
will of the French Government, or to break
with England. Our Government accuses the British
Cabinet of having evaded a compromise. The
British Cabinet accuses our Government of having vio-
lated positive engagements without a legitimate reason,
and of having employed a form calculated to wound
Great Britain. The consequences of the marriage which
has been concluded are, either that Queen Isabella will
not bear children, end then a permanent cause of mis-
understanding, division, and war perhaps, will subsist in

Europe ;or Queen will giveheirs-to the Crown of

Spuin; and in that case a connexion and an accord will
have been broken, which during six years have been
proclaimed necessary, and all this for the sole advantage
of marrying the Duke de %fontpensier with the Spanish
Infanta a few months sooner. In any case, after having

during six years alienated the independence of Trance,

and purchased the 'cordial understanding' by un-

worthy sacrifices, they have substituted for the cor-
dial understanding, not a reciprocal independence, but
ill-will and concealed hostility. We believe that by a
more intelligent and more sensible conduct during three
years the Queen-Mother might have been reconciled to
