PORTUGAL.

Accounts have been received from Lisbon to the
29th ult.

The differences between the Bank and the Govern-
ment still continued. There had been a gold panic
in Lisbon caused by the publication of a decree appoint-
ing a Commission of seven Members to deliberate upon
the measures to be taken in eons, quence of the altera-
tion which has taken place in some other countries in
the relative value of geld and silver. The discount of
gold rose as high as four per cent., and would have
got higher but for the prompt measures taken
by the Government to check it. The Bill brought in
for this purpose is to the cfl!ct that the duty on the
Qxportation of silver shall be raised from 100 to 1,000,
reis per mare—a virtual prohibition—that all foreign
gold coin., except English sovereigns, shall be with-
drawn from circulation, and that holders of the coins
so withdrawn may present them ht the Mint, and there
receive their full equivalent in Portuguese money.
Senhor Affunseca, a deputy for the Island or 'Madeira,
has proposed the reduction of ali duties on impor rations
to 20 per cent., and those on exportations to 2 per cent.

A letter from Munich of air" 30th ult. says:—
" The judicial proceedings in military cases are to undergo
a complete re-organization. Among the projects of law
about to be presented to the Chambers on this subject is one
which proposes open courts and verbal pleading; a jury to be
composed of military men."

The second Chamber of Saxony, on the 30th ult.,
discussed the extraordinary state budget relative to the
military assistance given by Prussia. The Saxon Go-
vernment has come to a compromise with the Prussians
to pay that Government the sum of 100,000 marks,
instead of 200,000 marks, as demanded, for the assist-
ance rendered by the Prussian troops in Saxony in
1840.

The Commission advised the Chambers to vote the
budget, but as the Prussian Government refused to pay
for the quartering of the Prussian troops while in
Saxony, the additional sum of 90,113 marks was also
called for. The Chambers unanimuusly voted both
these sums; but several very pa'riotic speeches were
made, declaring that the tranquillity of Saxony was re-
stored not by Prussia; but by her native troops.
