which have existed between the Admiral and the Govern-
ment have been removed, and that if the money required
can be raised, the fleet will be saved. Intrigues, principally
originating with the English officers, caused the misun-
derstanding ; the dismissal of these persons from the ser-
vice will prevent the recurrenee of similar disasters. The
fleet of Don Miguel only waits for me❑ and provisions,
and is to go out in the full certainty of bringing Sartorius
into Lisbon.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
But whilst affairs looked thus promising in the field an
intrigue, a la Portuguaise, in Don Pedro's Cabinet had
very nigh proved fatal to the Constitutional cause. It
consisted in nothing less than an attempt to remove Mar-
shal Solignac from the command, or cause him, at least,
to resign in disgust. Senhor Joaquim Antonio de Magal-
haens, the Minister of Justice, charged the Marshal with
sacrificing the interests of Portugal to England and France,
arid suborned his French Secretary to give up his em-
ployer's private correspondence, in the hope of finding out
something to substantiate the accusation, and to prove im-
proper some connexion with the Marquis de Palmella.This
having failed, as the Marshal corresponds with no one but
Madame de Solignac and his notary or solicitor in Paris;
and the Secretary having acknowledged the plot in an in-
terrogatory, the indignation of the old warrior rose to the
highest pitch, and he told Don Pedro such home truths
as he never had heard in the whole course of
his life. The latter, appreciating the vnlue and im-
portance of the Marshal's military services, which
were the salvation of the cause, deeply regret-
ted the proceedings of his Minister of Justice, assured
the Marshal of the continuance of his unlimited confidence,
and to heal the wounded feelings and injured character of
the latter, instantly dismissed Magalhaens, and ordered his
Secretary to be banished to France. After such ample sa-
tisfaction, the Marshal, who is a sincere friend of the cause,
and one of the most powerful promoters of Donna Maria's
interests, could no longer think of persisting in his resig-
nation, and of abandoning the Emperor and army under
existing circumstances, but declared his determination to
support his Majesty and his daughter's cause with his
former zeal. All the other Ministers tendered their re-
signation if the Marshal should decline to act with them ;
but he generously made the retention of their places one
of the conditions of his continuance in the command of the
army, as necessary to the well-being of the public service.
General Saldanha refused to accept the command-in-chief
and War Department, offered him by the intriguers, with-
out Solignac's consent.
The discovery of the intrigue, plot, or conspiracy,
whereby the 'Minister of Justice, Senhor Joaquin Antonio
de Magalhaens, a Doctor of Law, had endeavoured to re-
move Marshal Solignac from the command of the army,
was so promptly followed by the dismissal of the for mer
high functionary, gazet'ed on Monday, and that of the
criminal Judge Jose Bernardo da Silva Cabral, a Bachelar
of Law, g,izetted on Tuesday, that the conspirators were
petrified, and the remainder wisely hid their heads, though
they extended, as it is said, to the number of twenty.
The other military commanders, both Portuguese and fo-
reigner-, expressed their deep indignation at the attempt,
and harmony is now perfectly restored between the civil
and military authorities. The official editor of the
Chronica, Pereira de Reis, an attache to the Secretary
of State's office, fared still worse ; for having indis-
creetly inserted a libel on Marshal Solignac, and Ge-
nerals Saldanha and Stubbs, though copied, only from
a Lisbon publication, entitled " A Deftza de Portugal,"
into a small part of Tuesday's impression of the Chro•.
nica, which was suppressed. The Emperor imm, diately
cashiered and imprisoned him for such attempt to
disturb the public tranquillity, by ridiculing generals, in
whom he had placed his confidence and intrusted the
editorship of this official organ of Government to a Coin-
mission of four members, who will of course be careful not

to give offence to the powers in being. This summary
proceeding without judge or jury may be deemed somewhat
harsh in a Constitutional Government, which very
recently rewarded the services of the late editor, by con- '
ferring on him the order of the Tower and Sword ; but it
is here defended upon the plea of necessity, and by the ex-
traordinary circumstances in which Don Pedro is paced.
There has been no other change in the Ministry, the other
Secretaries of State retaining their portefeuilles—and the
Marquis de Louie is, in addition to the Foreign Depart-
ment, appointed to the Ministry of Mating, ad interim.
Mrigalhae,s goes to the Azores Islands, and Monsieur
Dupau remains under arrest in his apartment, with a
sentry at the door, until he ein he shiprd off to Fiance.
Thus the best understanding has been restored between
all parties.
The enemy has confined his military operations during
the last week to a much slackened bombardment, except
on Saturday night and Sunday morning, when a great
num. er of shells were thrown into the town, Serra and
Foz, but without doing much mischief.
The Miguelite army suffers much from maladies, hav-
ing 10,000 men in the hospitals ; their soldiers, in their
wooden encampments, are devoured by filth and virmin,
and desertion begins now to extend to the Royalist Vo-
lunteers, a set of men fighting for opinion, and not actu-
ated or influenced by the usual motives which induces
regular troops.
We have 52 vessels before the Fez, but after three or
four very large disembarkations, the badness of the bar,
and the loss of ten lives by the upsetting of two boats, has
reduced the landing, for several nights past, to rather in-
significant quantities of flour and live-stock. Admiral
Sartorius remains at anchor, and continues to negotiate;
the Government being placed in the anomalous position of
having dismissed him without the power of enforcing its
decrees, which renders it doubtful whether his flag re-
mains flying in defiance or by way of protection I
hope the report of the Don Pedro having been forcibly,
taken back to Vigo by the crew will prove unfounded.
Typhus fevers, I regret to say, are very pteva!ent here,
and occasion more mortality than the cholera itself; eleven
British soldiers having died of it on Friday, and ten
officers of the Ist Regiment alone being laid up with it
amongst whom is the surgeon of that corps.
MONDAY, ArRIL 22.—Further quantities of provisions
were landed last night. Sartorius with the Meet remains
quietly at anchor, hut has not yet been on shore.

The trial of Mr. BARING WALL, M.P.
for the assault on the policeman, is specially appointed to
take place in the King's Bench, on Saturday next.
Two notices of motions were on Monday night
given in reference to the house and window taxes—by Mr.
TENNYSON (May 13), "in committee on assessed taxes"
to move resolutions to repeal the house and window taxes;
and by Sir S. WHALLEY (May 15), " Resolution for the
repeal of the house and window taxes :"a substantive motion.
Lord DOVER is rather better, but his disorder
is, we fear, a serious one. Lord KING has rallied, and
is, we are happy to say, expected to recover. His Lord-
ship at first declined the assistance of a physician, preferring
his usual attendant, an eminent surgeon. Dr. 'WARREN,
however, was called in when his Lordship was considered
dying, and from that hour he has mended.
A petition from Hull against the timber du-
ties, as connected more immediately with their tffect on
domestic industry, has been forwarded for presentation to
the House of Commons. The petitioners contend that
the interest of the labourers employed in sawing timber is
entitled to the same protection from a just and wise Go-
vernment as the interests of those engaged in the manu-
factures of cotton, woollen, and silk. - _ _

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, May 6.--
The sales of cotton to-eay are estimated at 2,000 bales,
consisting of 150 Brazils, in Pernams, at 90. to 9d.,
and Maranhams, at 91,1. to 9,15 d. ; 250 Surats and
Madras, from sd. to 61,1. ; and ahem 1,500 in American
descriptions, from qd. to 9d.
The forthcoming " Narrative of a Residence
at the Court of London," by Me. Ruse;, the late Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the
United States of America, Fill comrise sketches of all he
mcst distinguished personages who figured in England at
the time (1818), including anecdotes of GEonuE IV.
and Queen CHARLOTTE. The amiable and conciliatory
manners of this distinguished public functionary, won for
him the confidence and esteem of all with whom he be-
came connected. The work abound,, we hear, in anec-
dote, and may indeed be said to be a portrait gallery of
the British nobility.
THE MURDER OF MISS ELMES.—Up to
yesterday evening, the efforts to discover the murderers
of Miss ELMEs bad proved unavailing. The body has
been placed in a shell, where it will remain until her
friends give directions for her funeral. She is related to
s,w,ral highly respectable persons, resident in Surrey awl
the West of England. In a corner of the deceased', room
is a large recess, about tutee feet deep, in which it is sup-
posed the murderers conc,aled themselves until the de-
ceased came up stairs to bed. The Secretary of State
has intimated that a reward of 1001. will be offered by
Gov,rnment for the apprehension and conviction of the
offenders. The parish of Chelsea also intend to offer a
reward of 501., and the Rev. Mr. LOCKWOOD, the rector,
has signified his intention to contrihute 501. for the slow
purpose. A large party of the police, we understand, are in
pursuit of a ni,n against whom there is a strong suspicion.
A new arrangement will take place in June
next with regard to the North American packets, which
will then only proceed as far as Halifax, retrain there eight
days, and return d:rect to Falmouth. A schooner will he
employed to carry the mails between Halifax and Bermuda.
