The following address, in answer to the speech
from the Throne, -gas:agreed to by the Chamber of
Peers after a stormy discussion which lasted six
days _

4 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 cf your Majesty's constitu-
tional throne, the due homage of its respect, fidelity, and
profound acknowledgment.
"2. The Chamber of Pears is much gratified at the
public tranquillity not having been disturbed since the lest
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 contiLue zealously to offer the just and
loyal co-operation that shall b© necessary for its con-
nuance.

" 3. The Chamber of Peers, pal taking-
of the pious
sentiments which animate t'ae 'Royal heart cf your
Majesty, gives unceasing thanks to Divine Providence
foxhaving preserved these kingdoms from the scourges
which have so much afflicted other ceuntries ; and directs
humble and ferv:Tt, prayers to Heaven for the continua-
tion of the especial Divine protection, which has so won-
derfully favoured the Portuguese monarchy.
" 4. The Chamber beard with great satin fiction, that
your Majesty preserved tho closest relations of friend-
ship with fore'gn potentates ; and that your Majesty's
Government, improving this favourable disposition, had
arranged that the Portuguese flag be considtred in the
Passage of the Scuud as that (f the most favoured
nation, and admitted into the ports of Russia, Sweden,
and Belgium oa terms cf the most per.
Norway, Holland,
feet reciprocity, thus pi-Gliding and tecuring a greater
extension, facility, and advantage to our navigation and
commerce.

"5. The Chamber congratulates itself that tranquillity
it; jre3erved in the colonies; and it anxiously desi!es
that the flattering hopes which offer to the colony of
Portuguese emigrants from Brazil, recently ostablisl e 3
in the province of Angola, may be realised and con-
solidated.

" 6. The Chamber sympathises with your Majesty in
the just sentiment of profound gr:ef for the two out-
rages committed in tbe establishment of Macau; but it
lops that your Mzjesty's Government, strongly sup..
ported in the evieeat justice of its claims, will promptly
obtain just satisfaction anti clue reparation; and will
settle with the utinott care, that shall be necessary, the
integrity of the establishment, the sovereignty of the
cr own, and the dignity and decorum of the Portuguese
nrlni e.

" 7. The Chamber will
examine, as it behoves them,
the use which your Itijosty'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
•estiniate of the reccipts and expenses cf the state, and
the proposals which will be laid k fore them. In this
examination they will consider wit;i every care and cit-
Tumspection the true situation of tie country, to a lopt
just, appropriate, and effieaei( us measures which expe-
rience may have shown necessary to improve the public
;service, and to establish upon solid bases the definitive
,organization of the public reviinue."
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 reis, 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 remade
that the donation of the QUEEN is the same as it was
to
Don JOHN 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 SALDANHA spoke against the Count Di.;
THOM.AR, 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 i

his high official situation would soil his hands with
trifling bribes. The terms miserable and trifling were
of course eagerly caught up by the Opposition oratory,
who gave them the proper emphasis, and' made the
most of them to work up public feeling against the
" heartless Minister who despised honest workmen,"
with-whom Count LAYRADIO owned, though an old
aristocrat himself, he was proud to shake hands, and
who bad the effrontery to insinuate that he would
not condescend to accept any but handsome bribes.
Count DE Tumult is supported by the Curt, but
it is doubted whether in the event of an outbreak the
army would support him now that SALDANUA has
declared against him. At Oporto there has been
,something like a military emeute against him ; the
men of one of the regiments there having turned out,
and in a clamorous manner demanded their arrears
of pay. At Braga Septetubrista meetings have been
held ; and at Avo a Miguelite guerrilla was or-
ganized, but immediately dispersed in consequence
of the Chief having been killed in an encounter with
the authorities.

The Portuguese Government steam-vessel Min-
dell arrived at Lisbon on the 10th, with
a numerous quantity of packages, ten passengers,
and two horses, and received pratique in
fifty hour; without unloading, or a single
article going to the Lazaretto, whilst the
Montrose's passengers were obliged to undergo
four days' quarantine at the lazaretto, and, what is
still more glaring, tha Montrose, on her return from
Gibraltar, was again subjected to the same grievous
proceeding, wheieas, by their own regulations she
should have been admitted to pratique. By the last
ordinance issued by the Board of Health, all vessels
leaving Great Britain on or before the Bth January,
1850, shall be admitted to pratique, but the first case
of cholera reported by the Portuguese Consul in Lon-
don on it goes again with all its severity, and glad
will they be to have the opportunity, as they reap an
excellent harvest all the time its in force.
