The Mowing address, in answer to the speech
from the Throne, Aas:agreed to by the Chamber of
Peers after a stormy discussion which lasted six
days :
"

1. The Chamber of Peers, highly appreciating the
pleasure which your Majesty deigned to manifest at the
solemn opening of the General Cortes of the Monarchy,
comes to deposit, at the foot of your Majesty's constitu-
tional throne, the due homage of its respect, fidelity, and
profound acknowledgment.
"2. The Chamber of Peers is much gratified at the
public tranquillity not having been disturbed since the last
legislative session; and, well assured that this is the
first and principal condition upon which individual hap-
piness and the improvement and prosperity of the state
depend, it will continue zealously to offer the just and
loyal co-operation that shall be necessary for its con-
nuance.

" 3. The Chamber of Peers, partaking of the pious
sentiments which animate the Royal heart of your
Majesty, gives unceasing thanks to Divine Providence
fur having preserved these kingdoms from the scourges
hich have so much afllicted other countries; and directs
humble and fervent prayers to Heaven for the continua-
tion of the especial Divine protection, which has so won-
det fully favoured the Portuguese monarchy.
" 4. The Chamber heard with great sLti. faction, that
your Maje,ty preserved the closest relations of friend-
ship with foreign poten:a'es ; and that your Majesty')
Government, improving this favourable disposition, had
arranged that the Portuguese flag be considered iu the
Passage cf the Sound as that cf the most favoured
natiun, and admittediinto the ports of Russia, Sweden,
Norway, Holland, and Belgium on terms cf the most per •
feet reciprocity, thus providing and securing a greater
extension, facility, and advantage to our navigation and
commerce.
" 5. The Chamber congratulates itself that tranquillity
is preserved in the colonies; and it anxiously desires
that the flattering hopes- which offer to the colony of
Portuguese emigrants 'from Brazil, recently ostablist ed
in the province of "Angola, may be realised and con-
solidated.
" 6. The Chamber sympathises with your Maj'esty in
the just sentiment of profound grief for the two out-
rages committed in tLe establishment of Macau; but it
hopes that your Bbjesty's Government, strongly sup-
potted in the evident justice of its claims, will promptly
obtain just satisiaction and due reparation; and will
settle with the utmost care, that shall be necessary, the
integrity of the establishment, the sovereignty of the
crown, and the dignity and decorum of the Portuguese
name.

" 7. The Chamber will examine, as it behoves them,
the use which your Majesty's Government has made of
the different authorisations, which were conceded to it,
and the measures which it has taken to improve the
credit and meet the public expenditure. as well as the
estimate of the receipts and expenses cf the state, and
the proposals which will be laid before them. In this
examination they will consider with every care and cir-
cumspection the true situation of tf.e country, to alopt
just, appropriate, and effiemicus measures which expe-
rience may have shown necessary to improve the public
service, and to establish upon solid bases the Cefin.tlve
organiza'ion of the public revenue."
The budget has been presented to the Chamber of
Deputies. The receipts for 1850 51 being esti-
mated at 7,414,000,000 reis, and the expenditure
8,938,000,000 nip, leaving a deficit of 1,500,000,000
reis. The QUEEN, Don FERDINAND, and the chil-
dren, have given up 156,250,000 reis for the service
of the states for this year. It is worthy of remaik
that the donation.of the QTSEEN is the same as it was
to Don Jowl VI. when the country was in a pecu-
liarly prospering state, and possessed Brazil.
In the course of the discussion on the address, the
Duke of SALDANDA spoke against the Count DE
Tuoman, who, in his defence against the accusation
of having accepted a caleche as. a bribe, made use of
two very unlucky
expressions Speaking of the
caleche affair, he said that the accusation rested
solely upon the assertion of a miserable workman ;
and, with reference to the general charge of corrup-
tion, that it did not stand to reason that any man in
