the Jokery. The Noble Lord who puts off every
Groan of the country with a Wink—tide CHARLES
DICKENS'S periodical. The noble lord who is
always on the broad-grin whenever the honour of
the nation seems to be in any way more than
usually imperilled. The noble lord who is to
the Crimean Army, let us say, for example—
precisely what a physician would be who (instead
of any remedy whatever, even one the most com-
monplace) jocularly administered a dig in the
ribs to a patient at the last gasp ! And this-
-0 Tempora I—this is England's model Statesman,
this is The Right Man in the Right Place !
Never—again we assert it—never has there been
witnessed before now any adulation more gross
or more indecent than that with which the Times
of to-day beslavers the Lord Viscount PALMER-
STON.

'd ainful necessity of repelling force by force. The barri-
cades erected in the streets del Conde, del Asalto, and
de la Union, which led to the Rambla, were carried and
destroyed, and their defenders driven from position to
position to the gates of the city. They then sought re-
fuge in the suburbs ; and at the departure of the mail,
on the 19th, they were surrounded by the troops. The
rebels suffered severely."

The following despatch is also published by the
fazette :

" The Captain-General of Valencia writes, under date
21st, one o'clock p.m. Brigadier Planas defeated on the
19th the insurgents of Reuss and disarmed the National
Guard of the town. Tranquillity is completely restored
in the province of Tarragona. At Carthagena the dis-
cipline and loyalty of the troops prevented a popular
movement. The Governor of the city, General Ping,
refused to obey the Government, but Col. Teran, who
commands the regiment of Valencia, assumed the go-
vernment of the place in the name of the Queen. At
Albacete tranquillity is re-established, and the portion
of the national militia which effected the pronuncia-
mento is being disarmed. Nothing new occurred in
other districts subsequently to my despatch of yes-
terday."

PORTUGAL.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.
The Baganza, steamer, has arrived with Lisbon
Letters of the 22d inst.

The country was perfectly tranquil, and no fears
were entertained of its imitating the comueotions in
Spain.
The following is a translation of the King of
Portugal's speech upon closing the Cortes at Lisbon
on the 19th inst.

" Worthy Peers and Gentlemen Deputies of the Por-
tuguese Nation,—At the moment of closing the session,
the last of the present Legislature, I have again come
to testify how much I appreciate being in the centre
of the national representatives in order to signify to
you my satisfaction at the zeal you have mani-
fested in the fulfilment of your important legislative
functions. The causes which gave rise to the change
of Ministry at the beginning of June are well known
to you. Convinced that increased facilities of com-
munication by means of good roads and of railroads
is now as imperious a necessity as it was always of the
highest convenience, you did not hesitate to vote the sup-
plies which my Government proposed for that object. I
thank you, and trust that my wishes and your own will
be fulfilled by the uninterrupted progress of public works,
upon the largest possible scale, in order that the country
may in the shortest possible period enjoy the immense
benefits resulting therefrom. The harvest this year do not
promise to be better than the last. I hope, however, that
from the measures you have adopted to attenuate the evil,
and above all, by the favour of Divine Providence, we
may be enabled to pass the ordeal without seriously suf-
fering its terrible consequences. I deeply deplore that
the cholera morbus should have again afflicted the capital
and other parts of the kingdom. It, however, con-
tinues to diminish in gravity, which fortunately never
became very alarming, and every care has been, and still
is, taken to diminish its ravages by the prompt succour
of those requiring it. It is pleasing to me to announce
to you that the public tranquillity has been maintained in
all points of the kingdom.
" Worthy Peers and Gentlemen, Deputies of the Portu-
guese Nation,—l am fully assured that during the
interval of your Parliamentary labours you will still con-
tinue to render most valuable services, fortifying the
people in the spirit of conciliation and tolerance, and in
respect and obedience to the law."
The Session closed on the 23d inst.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, JULY 23.
A few days since (probably on Saturday, the
19th) the Austrian Government forwarded another
note to the Neapolitan Government. The lan-
guage employed by the Austrian Government in
the note in question was " extremely urgent," but
still the prevalent opinion, in high political circles,
is, that little or no attention will be paid by the
Naples Cabinet to the representations of Count
Buol. A strange report has been in circulation
for some days past that the King of Naples enter-
tains some idea of abdicating in favour of his son,
Prince Francis, who is now in his 21st year.
