RTUGAL.
A letter from Lisbon of the 31 says, "In the
morning a certain agitation prevailed in the capital,
but up to the departure of the mail no movement had
broken out."

GERMANY.
The Spener Gazette states, from Berlin 11th—
" M. DELBRUCK, the representative of Prussia in
the third committee of the Conferences at Dresden,
has just returned from that city, in order, it is said,
to be present at a Cabinet Council, at which the com-
mercial policy of the country will be discussed."
The Voss Gazette states, under the head of Berlin
the Bth, that the most perfect understanding has been
come to between the Austrian and Prussian Govern-
ments on the subject of Schleswig. It has been re-
solved, it is asserted, that in all the negotiations with
Denmark, Austria and Prussia shall act together.
The Assembly of the States of Hanover was opened
on the Bth.

Thr Weser Gazette, under date of Vienna, sth,
states that the fortifications of Cracow and of Podgo-
reze are being rapidly proceeded with. The principal
points of the works are the heights of Kosciusko and
the mouth of the road from Warsaw.
The Hamburgh papers say that, a few days ago, at
about eleven o'clock in the day, six privates of the
regiment Hugent forcibly entered the residence of
Mr. MAIER, editor of the public journal Afephistophele.
Two of the men held the door, so that it was im-
possible for his family to come to his assistance, while
the four others fell upon Mr. MAIR, and continued
beating him till he remained insensible upon the floor,
upon which they all quitted the house in haste.
Medical assistance was immediately called in, and in-
formation given to the police. It is fully expected
that the Austrian military authorities will render
assistance to effect the discovery of the base perpetra-
tors of this crime.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Ramburgh Borsenhalle says :—" We hear that
the proposals said to be made by Russia that the forti-
fications of Rensburgh lying on the north side of the
Eider, shall be razed, has just been reiterated on the
part of Denmark."

The Berlin Gazette of Copenhagen publishes the
official list of the notables who are to assemble at
Flensburg, to attempt to settle the affairs of Schles-
wig-Holstein. The notables are twenty-one in num-
ber—nine for Schleswig, six for Holstein, six for
Denmark. Count BILLE BRAHE, formerly Danish
Minister at Vienna, has been nominated Royal Com-
missioner to act with the notables. The Danish
Government is to submit to them a plan for the
organization of all the monarchy, and especially of
Schleswig.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 3,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken on speculation, comprising 2,500 American, 60
Bahia at 7id., 150 Egyptian at Bid., and 250 Surat at
3d. to 4kd. per lb. The market was heavy, and Ame-
rican were Id. to id., and all other kinds id. per lb.
lower than on Friday last.—Railway Shares were
firmer.
Yesterday afternoon the quarterly sales of Indigo
commenced, consisting of 9,883 chests, including 4,547
of old goods.
The qualities of the Bengal are about one-third good
and fine, and two-thirds middling and ordinary; the
Madras two-thirds ordinary and one-third good, with a
few chests very fine ; the Kurpah half good and fine,
and half mid and ordnary; Manilla ordinary and very
ordinary; and the few chests Java mostly fine. The sales
commenced with parcels of Kurpah and Madras, which
were readily taken at about 2d per lb. under Feb. prices,
but when higher rates were demanded they were mostly
bought in; for Bengal full previous rates were paid, and
in some instances rather higher; for the Manilla and
low native Fig there was no demand—the former were
taken out, and the latter bought in above their value.
The room was thinly attended both by foreign and
home buyers, and the sale to-day has gone off without
animation; 1,459 chests have passed, of which 405 were
withdrawn, 550 bought in, and 504 sold.
In the Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 12th inst.,
prices had an upward tendency. Dutch Two-and-a-
lidalf per Cents. were 57i.
There are such stuoious efforts used to misrepresent
every thing connected with Mexico, that it becomes im-
portant to place authentic information constantly
before the public. It is well understood that
an organized plan exists to telegraph concocted
or exaggerated news, and frequently a mere
reproduction of old intelligence along the Atlantic sea-
board to Boston, so as to be transmitted by the steamer
and create an impression in England. The Committee
of Bondholders have been officially advised of these
manoeuvres, and are prepared accordingly to expect by
every opportunity some newly-coined story. In the
face., however, of such a letter as the subjoined, mere
rumour is reduced to its proper limits, and deserves no
serie us attention. M. Payno, the new Minister, writes
to tie, chairman of the Mexican Bondholders in the fol-
lowing terms:—
" Sir,—l arrived here on Saturday, the 10th inst., in
the afternoon, at 3 o'clock, charged by the Supreme Go-
vernment of the Republic of Mexico with the affairs of
the Legation at this Court. At the same time I have
sufficient instructions to arrange everything needful
for the punctual payment of the dividend of the Ist of
July next, and for the speedy issue of the new bonds.-
" In due fulfilment of the decree of the General Con-
' greets of the 14th October, 1850, the Government or-
dered. the general treasury to issue an order on the Go-
vernment of the United States of North America for
2,500,000 dolls., which, under the treaty of peace, will be
payable in May. 1852. The duplicate of this order was,
previously to the departure of the packet sent
to Mr. F. de Falconnet, in Mexico, and the ori-
ginal, of which I am the bearer, I have now the plea-
sure to inclose to you for the Committee of Mexican
Bondholders.
"The Government could have negotiated this, as it
has done former instalments, and might have sent the
money; it was, however, thought better to forward the
document itself, considering that the bondholders might,
perhaps, wish to await its' maturity, and that, if they
should desire to negotiate it, they might easily do so
themselves either here, or in Washington, New York,
or Mexico.
"I have also to inform the committee that the Mi-
nister of Finance has given the requisite orders to
insure the proper separation of that portion of the
revenue assigned by the decree of the 14th of October
last for the payment of the dividends and the formation
of a sinking fund at the maritime and frontier custom-
houses.
" The Board of Public Credit, instituted by the Con-
gressional Act for the adjustment of the Domestic Debt
of 30th November last, is charged with the administra-
tion of the funds assigned to the bondholders, and as you
will see by the enclosed set of forms, that board has
given so precise orders, that the liquidation and payment
of the proceeds of the maritime custom-houses will be
regularly made every two or three months. The same
board has also taken steps, which have already proved
efficacious, to set bounds to the smuggling on the north-
ern frontier, along the Rio Bravo.
"The maritime custom-houses are already provided
with officers of intelligence and probity, and second
lines of custom-house officers have been established
to prevent the smuggling through the ports of the
Pacific.
"If I take credit for all those arrangements ordered
by the Mexican Government, it is only that the bond
holders may see that the adjustment of the English and
domestic debt made by the Legislature has been accom-
panied by all the measures necessary to carry it into full
effect and to increase the produce of the maritime cus-
tom-houses, so that while 25 per cent. of the present
produce of some 6 000,000 dollars will about provide for
the payment of the dividends, the prospective increase of
the revenue will not only provide amply for that pur-
pose, but also leave a considerable surplus for the forma-
tion of a sinking fund.
"The Supreme Government of the Republic has
specially charged me to present to the bondholders,
through the medium of their worthy committee, the
vote of thanks which the General Congress decreed to
them in testimony of the sense entertained by the
nation of the sacrifices which the bondholders have
agreed to on former occasions, as well as particularly in
accepting the decree of the 14th of October, 1850.
" This commission has been very gratifying to me,
and it is one by which I consider my self greatly
honoured. For my own part, I can assure the
committee that the Government and the whole
nation appreciate the prudence, noble-mindedness,
and generosity with which the bondholders have
acted, and that the Republic will consider it a point of
honour punctually to pay this debt, and at all times to
make whatever sacrifices and efforts may be necessary
for that purpose.
" I should have closed this note here, but that my at-
tention has been drawn to a rumour that I am come to
negotiate a loan of 6,000,000 dolls. to 8,000,000 dolls.
on the security of the revenues of the Mexican Church.
" I have received no instructions whatever from the
Government on this matter; neither has the Govern-
ment received any authority for that purpose; nor has
such a thing been broached in the Chambers up to the
time of the departure of the last English packet.
This rumour has, therefore no foundation whatever,
and I request you will inform the committee accord-
ingly.
" In order that no uncertainty as to the state of the
matter may unfavourably affect the value of the bonds
to the prejudice of the bondholders, I haveto request
you to publish this note, as well as to acknowledge the
receipt of it, and of the enclosed document for 2,500,000
dollars to me. You will also please to acknowledge
that this document having been handed to you, and the
other amounts specified in the decree_ of tt 1 h October
last having already been paid, the other copies of the
said document, transmitted to
youeffect. by the Government
and the agencies, remstin of no
" I have great satisfitction in expressing to you the
assurance of my particular consideration, See
The meeting of the Lyons and Avignon and of the
Bordeaux and Cette Railways, will be held to-morrow,
at the London Tavern, and a strong memorial will then
be drawn up to the French Government against any
new concession that does not respect the claims of the
existing shareholders. Parties interested must embrace
this opportunity of protesting, as upon that course de-
pends, in all probabili Cy, the preservation of their caution
money.
