We have received some interesting particulars on
the subject of the recent encroachments of Russia ;
we will treat of it, if we have time, to-morrow.

The project of the law for the responsibility of the
Portuguese Ministry will be read with deep interest
by all who delight in the progress of good go-
vernment. No document could be framed offering
a surer test of the zeal, ability, and upright con-
fidence of the QUEEN'S Ministers. PALMELLA has
acted nobly on this occasion ; and his enemies may
well blush when they peruse this record of his talents
and consistency. We will again glance at the main
features in this law in the course of a day or two.

Paris Papers of Saturday have been received, from
which we learn that the Spanish Cabinet is beginning
to feel the consequences of the vote of the Deputies on
the debt ; and that what we predicted respecting
the trouble the Ministers would meet with in
raising the loan of 400,000,000 of reals is actually
coming to pass. The money is now wanted—so much
wanted, that unless it be forthcoming, TouENo states
that he must resign in a month, and yet not a real can be
had, except on terms which the Ministry cannot comply
with. The lesson Ton.Exo taught Franc. has had
the proper effect, and he now begins to see the truth
of the old adage " Honesty is the best policy."
The news about Don CARLOS is not important,
and will be found in the extracts from the French
Papers.
The following is from the Papers received this
morning
:
PARIS, OCT. 18.—The seven Ministers yesterday at-
tended altogether a Council at the Palace. This circum-
stance had not happened before for nearly two months.
The Council sat till past four o'clock. It is said to have
been determined in the last Council that the affair of the
April plot should be continued, and the discussions imme-
diately opened. We may, therefore, expect that M. Pas-
quier will shortly officially announce this decision, which,
for the present at least disposes of the question of an am-
nesty.—Quotidienne.
The question of the tariff is a subject which engages, in
an extraordinary degree, the merchants and manufacturers
in the town to attend. The Assembly,by an immense ma-
jority, declared in favour of maintaining the prohibitions.
Yesterday, at 11 o'clock, Count Apping, the Austrian
Ambassador, and Lord Grenville, the English Ambassador,
had together a pretty long conference with M. de Rigny at
the office of the department of Foreign Affairs.
The Memorial Bordelais of the 15th Oct. says :—" An
extraordinary courier coming from Spain passed through
yesterday. It is affirmed that he is the bearer of a mes-
sage addressed by the Queen Regent to the Chamber of
the Procuradores, in which message several of the late acts
of that Chamber are formally blamed.
There is every appearance that the news of the taking of
Bilboa was an invention of the Carlists. The Sentinelle
des Pyrenees of the 14th says, that the town had been at-
tacked on the sth by the insurgents, who had been re-
pulsed. The same paper says—" It was expected here the
day before yesterday that Eraso and three French had
been shot by order of Zumalacarreguy, for treason. We
consider this news to be unfounded.—Messages', Oct. 18.

It is finally arranged that Viscount Fordwich, eldest
son of the Earl and Countess Cowper, and nephew to Viscount
Melbourne, is to be the new Under Secretaq of State for
Foreign Affairs, in the place of Sir George Shee, appointed
Minister at Berlin.

The Speaker has taken up his temporary residence
at the hospitable mansion of Mr •James 13aillie, the:Member
for Bristol, in Seamore-place. Lady Manners Sutton and her
daughters remain at Brighton.
The Duke of Rutland's library, at Belvoir Castle,
has been recently arranged, and its costly tomes placed in clas-
sical order by it *onlineVtli hitilibpbto. That librart. contains
same rare illuminated missals, and many of the niosl Vatriable
autograph letters that arc to be found in any other private li-
brary in the United Kingdom.

laSt night had, as usual, to boast of the attendante pf a host of
distinguished fashionables. Lord drimsidii Wit Sto*Ard on
the occasion, and we need scarcely add that it was a most dd-
lightful Ball. Among the numerous visitors we noticed, with

I.lridgewatei., Earl of Clarendon, ROIL Mr:,. Baden, Hon.
Mrs. Grey, and the Member for the County.

ClioLatA BOAiiii A COVVRIT SHIP.—We
lately mentioned the removal from the Norfolk to the Lady
Kennaway, of the convicts who had been shipped on board
the former, iri.Patttlitnil4 ritenSitatoft, tiff their trangpdrtation to
Now South Wales; The Lady tennaway, a few days since,
dropped down to the roadsted, .but, the cholera breaking out
writing the ariviet§, *a§ Obliged rin gattirday etening to
return tti her Mriner moorings, and to put on shore at Haul-
bowline a number of those affected. At one period the mor-
tality threatened to be considerable, no less than five individuals
having died in one day, but in consequence of the judicious
arrangements adopted by Dr. Trevor, who fortunately hap-
pened to be down here at the time, the malady, we are happy
to say, may now be regarded as completely checked. The
Doctor has had a considerable number of the healthy convicts
removed back to the Norfolk, and the clothing of all burned.
The bedding is also directed to be burned, and both vessels
will then be properly fumigated, so that we hope there will be
no danger of any recurrence of the disease. Nearly all those
d
convicts were shipped in England, and ITT Peen on boar
