PORTUGAL.

By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Madrid, advices have been received from Lisbon,
of the 19th.

There had been a Ministerial crisis in c)nsequence
of a quarrel between SALDANHA and the Marquis DE
FRONTERA, the Governor of Lisbon, the latter had
ordered the arbitrary deportation of a person named
MENDES, to the Azores. SALDANHA had ordered
MENDES to be set at liberty, and to be brought to
trial in the ordinary manner. 14'uoNTERA had,
thereupon tendered his resignation, which the QUEEN
had refused to accept, but she at once accepted the
resignation of SALDANHA, and ordered him under
arrest. The rumour of his dismissal, however, nearly
produced a revolt, and the QUEEN sent for him, and
earnestly requested him to resume office to which he
consented. This intrigue for th•? overthrow of
SALDANHA, was concerted at Madrid, by NARVAEZ
and COSTA CABRAL, and was supported by the
Spanish Minister at Lisbon.
Discount is 40 per cent. at Lisbon, and Govern-
ment have borrowed 42,0001. from the Birk, at a
most ruinous rate.

The quarantine regulations at the various ports
are a source of great annoyance, and cause much

delay, particularly so at Lisbon, where the detention
is considerable. The letters are cut through and
fumigated.

The quarantine regulations are still rigidly enforced
at the different ports, and, as a matter of cou7t.e, are a
source of considerable annoyance and delay. At Lisbon
they go through the ceremony of cutting through every
letter, and then fumigate them at the ILalth-office.
It is reported, and we believe truly, that the cholera
is very bad at Lisbon, causing, to a uirtain extent, stag-
nation to business. On the outward passsge of the
Madrid, her passengers were detained seven days at the
Lazaretto, the Government finding beds and linen.
The Braganza hotel had an establishment fitted up
by order of the Government, at which the charges were
extremely moderate.
