PORTUGAL.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to
the 9th.

The Portuguese Government admit the American
claims to the amount of 91,000 dollars, but positively
refuse to admit the claim for the loss of the General
Armstrong unless under positive coercion, or by the
arbitration of the King of SWEDEN, or the Sovereign
of any other maritime state. Mr. CLAY'S reply in-
sists on the admission of the claim for the General
Armstrong.
The American frigate and steamer were still in
the Tagus.
Commodore MARTIN was also there with the
Prince Regent, Leander, Phaeton, Arethusa, Arro-
gant, Encounter, and Conflict.
Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert had been
much admired at Lisbon, where she had arrived at
half• past two, P.M. on the 29th ult., after making the
passage of 760 miles from Plymouth in sixty-five
hours, with a current against her the whole run of
thirty-seven miles, giving her average speed as 12.2
knots. She went over the Lisbon bar at half-past
ten, A.M. on the 3d instant, and entered the Mole at
Gibralter at ten minutes before two r.m.on the 4th.

GERMANY.
DISMISSAL OF HAYNAU.

A letter from Vienna of the 11th instant announces
the dismissal of Marshal HAYNAu, in conformity with
the report of the Council of Ministers. Although the
decree is dated the 6tb, the question had again been
considered in Council on the night of the 10th, when
it was finally resolved to give official publication to
the decree. This affair has created an extraordinary
sensation.

A letter from Pesth of the sth, in the Austrian
Lloyd's,. says :—" The sentence rendered on Satur-
day last by the council-of-war has just been
published. Oat of thirty ex-Deputies, twenty-
six have been acquitted. Amongst these latter
are BEZEREDY and PATAY. J. MADARASZ has
been condemned to 9 years' hard labour, RADOCZI to
12 years of the same punishment ; and KUBINGI and
OLLAU to 15 years' confinement in a fortress. The
property of MADARASZ and Ranoczt has been con-
fiscated.

The Voss Gazette of Berlin says that the Aus-
trian Cabinet has made the following propositions to
the Prussian Government :-1. That Prussia shall
no longer refuse to
recognize the validity of the old
federal constitution in all its consequences ; 2. That
Prussia shall consider the Congress of Frankfort as
th
competent authority for regulating the Ger-
m • 3. That the Union shall be suspended
L onlyciu estion
until the establishment of a central definitive govern-
ment.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Cologne Gazette publishes extracts from the
note dated the szh July, of the Chevalier BUNSEN, the
Prussian Ambassador to the Court of S-. Jsrnes's,
protesting against the protocol on the Danish ques-
tion, signed by the Ministers cf Russia, France, and
England. M. BUNSEN objects to the intention ma-
nifested in the protocol of incorporating the duchies
with Denmark, as the idea of the states of which the
King of DEFMARK is the head being the parts of a
national Danish empire has never been admitted by
any public act, or law, and that, on the contrary, it
has always been opposed by Germany.
The note then urges that no settlement of the
Danish succession can take place without the con-
currence of Prussia, Austria, and the German Con-
federation.

The note goes on to say that the protocol has been
drawn up without the consent of, and in opposition
to, Germany ; that it is unjust and illegal as taking
a diplomatic view, not supported by any European
treaty, namely, the integrity of the Danish Mo-
narchy, which means that Holstein comprises
Lauenburg, and in ease of the extinction of the
younger line, even Oldenburg, thus violating the
incontestable rights of the Germanic Confedera-
tion. The note then objects to the proposed pro-
tectorate of England, France, and Russia ; affirms
that the protocol has become inapplicable, now that
peace is concluded between Prussia End Denmark ;
and concludes by asserting that instead of leading to
the pacification of the duchies, it will augment the
difficulties, and will probably render Denmark more
reluctant to make the just and necessary concessions.
It is stated that the English Government, in a
dispatch addressed to its ambassador at Copenhagen,
has instructed him to notify to the Danish Govern.
ment that England will feel called upon to protest
against any military intervention on the part of Rus-
sia iga favour of Denmark. A similar communication
is said to have been made to the Court of St. Peters-
burgh.
The following, dated Berlin the 6th, has been ad-
dressed to the Lieutenancy of Schleswig-Holstein by
the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs :
The King's Government hastens to make known to
the lieutenancy in general that peace between Denmark
and Prussia, stipulating in the name of the Germanic
Confederation, was signed at Berlin on the 2d. The
undersigned sends herewith-1. The treaty of peace be-
tween Denmark and Germany of the 2d July; 2. A
protocol between Prussia and Denmark of the sane
date, containing transitory dispositions respecting the
movements if Prussian troops; 3. A memoir which was
remitted to the German Governments in sending them the
treaty of pesee. The lieutenancy-general will see by these
documents in what spirit the King's Government con-
cluded the peace, and hew much it desires to see the con-
ditions of it appreciated by Germany and by the
duchies. The questions which gave rise to the war he-
teen Denmark and Germany are not, it is tree, solved by
this peace ; they remain open, and abandoned for the
present to a direr; solution between the Duchies and
D:nmark, un'ess the Germanic Confederation shall de-
cide otherwise. Considering that it was not possible to
arrive, on the basis of the preliminaries cf peace, at an
undsrstanding as to the manner of looking at the ques-
tion, nor at measures on the condition of the duchies
calculated t serve as the starting point to the
establishment of a permanent state of things,
the Prussian Government has had to abandon
the idea of arriving by these means at a definitive
solution of the questions in dispute. There remained.
then, no other means of arriving at the conclusions of
peace than that which has been followed. To judge by
,he great aversion which public opinion in the duchies
manifested against the stipulations contained in the pre-
liminaries, a simple pease which causes no prejudice to
any of the rights of the country ought to be favourably
received. Tee lieutenancy-general itself has several
time; made known this disposition of the duchies to the
King's Government, as also their ardent wish not to ;co
a new organization imposed on them. The King's Go-
vernment could not refrain from respecting the wish
thus expressed, as the interest it takes in the condition
of the duchies, and in a pacificneioe which would be
durable, and in conformity with their veritable interests,
is very great. In consequeece, and although the point of
view under which the preliminaries were drawn up pre-
sented for Prussia and Germany, in their European
relations, advantages which it is eatirely impossible to
disregard, Prussic has not insisted on their being carried
into effect, but has confined herself to sacrificing none
of the rights of the country, or of those of Germany,
but to reserve in all respects and on all occasions the
competency of the latter. Tho King's Government
hopes that this manner of acting will be appreciated at
its just value by the Duchies. The King's Government
takes pleasure in recognising the conciliaeory manner in
which the Lieutseancy-General conducted the mission of
the men of confidence at Copenhagen. Proceedings for
effecting a reconciliation with the Duchies are about to be
made at Copenhagen. The King's Government recom-
mends the Lieutenancy to labour with all its power to
cause the Duchies to accept these proceedings animated
by the same sentiments, and to make all concessions
compatilA with the rights and interests of the country,
The King's Government believes it right to repeat that
the cause of Schleswig-Holstein is also that of Germany,
in so far as it is incumbent on those on whom hence-
forth will fell the task of directing it not to lose sight
of the responsibility which the prosperity, and the in-
terior and exterior repose, of Germany impose on them.
The King's Government does cot doubt that the
Lieutenancy-General will not lose sight of this manner
of looking at the question.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS•

CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK.

A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool on
Sa'urday, the sales being 25,000 bales, of which 4,500
were taken for export and 13,000 on speculation. Prices
were still advancing.—Rlilway Shares were flat, with a
further temdency of prices to decline.
Owing to the brilliant weather and increased arri-
vals, the Corn Market is very heavy, and Wheat is
Is, lower.

The steamer from the United States has not yet ar-
rived. She is not one of the fastest on the line, how-
cser, and would proceed from New York.
_ _ _ _

The Hamburgh mail of Friday last gives the quota-
tion for Bills on London at 13 8, and the price of gold
at 433. In Exchanges a fair business was doing. Mo.
ney was plentiful.
Accounts from Messina state that the town had ex-
tended greatly its commercial relations since it was de-
clared a free port in October, 1848, with England,
France, the North of Europe, the ports of the Black
Sea, and even with the United States. The commerce
of Messina is all conducted within a period of eight
months annually. The chief exports are sulphur, oil,
sill=, linseed, fruit, &c. Its imports are oven more im-
portant, including colonial produce, hides from Brazil
and Australia, cloth from Germany, and the general ma-
nufactures of England and Belgium. French fabrics,
notwithstanding their superiority, form but a small
proportion of the imports, attributable to their dearness.
We learn from France that further seizures have
lately teen made of British fishermen trenching upon the
grounds n.ar Havre.
The suicide of Mr. Walter Watts, formerly of the
GI Ibe Insurance-office, naturally excites attention once
again to the circumstances which distinguished his career.
and in no quarter hare we heard a successful
attempt to justify the faulty system pursued at
the office, or the neglect of the directors, whereby such
enormous frauds could be accomplished, supposing, of
course, that they are of the magnitude state 1. It is
quite possible that we :hall hear very little more of the
matter ; firstly, because whatever loss may have arisen
has already been deducted from the profits; and secondly,
because the wealth of the company enables it to bear a
leas extending over so many years with perfect ease. As
a precedent, however, the case is not one jot the less ob-
jectionable, and while such things are possible on a small
scale even, one cannot feel surprised at the announcment,
ever and anon, of startling frauds committed upon great
establishments. What we contend is that where a per-
f,ct system of booking exists, and directors and auditors
perf,:rrn the duty for which they are paid, such con-
tinuous plunder coal not be carried on. Isolated rob-
beries might occur, but they must be quickly accom-
plished._ _ _ _

The Funds have been much the same to-day, and the
stets of the account, which has to be adjusted on Wed-
ne6,lay, chiefly influences prices. The idea seems still
to be that the Bull speculators predominate, and
this acts as a check upon the further rise which the
eundance a money, the comparatively favour-
able c,:nmplexion of political affairs, and the ex-
cvllulee of our revenue, would otherwise be cal-
culated to produce. The French revenue has
nen.,ibly improved, and promises well. Consols have
bevn 961 -a- for Trans:'er, and 961 alternately buyers and
at hers for August. Bank Stock has been at 211 to 2111.
Exchegur-bills are 665. to and India Bonds 88e.
to tt9i. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been very inanimate
again. Alexlean Bonds are 30, Peruvian at 81i- to 821,
and Buenos Ayres et 56 to 568. Brazillian Old Bonds
have improved to 93. Dutch Four per Cents. have been
quoted £3Bl and Russian Five per Cents. 110 k. Spanish
Three per Cents. have remained at 37*, the death of the
infant Prince not having had the slightest influence.

There is an increased business doing in Railway
Shares, but generally at lower rates, as buyers supply
the market, and the half-monthly account is rather
bullish. The statements as to dividends, &c., to be made
at the next nrletingii, still cause uncertainty.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.)

Nearly the whole of the country eneirkes held on Sa-
turday were somewhat active for English Wheat, the
prices of which advanced is to 2s per quarter. Fine
Foreign Wheat moved off freely, at a similar improve-
ment in value. In that of the middling and inferior qua-
lities no change took place. The sale for Barley and
Malt was steady, while Flour improved 2e per sack,
Oats, Beans, and Peas were held for more money.
Letters from the Baltic and Black Sea ports state that
Wheat was on the advance, owing to the favourable ad-
vices from this country.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of all English
grain were small. These from Ireland and Scotland
were limited in the extreme. From abroad we received
20,088 quarters of Wheat; 13,114 ditto of Barley;
24,284 ditto of Oats; 866 ditto of Beans; 221 ditto of
Peas; 767 ditto of Rapeamed; 105 ditto of sundry Seeds;
5,206 sacks and 1037 barrels of Flour.
The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this morn-
ing's market. coastwise as well as by land carriage, from
Essex and Kent, was very moderate—that from Cam-
bridgeshire, &e., trifling in the extreme, even for the
time of year. The general quality of the samples we',
however, good. Notwithstanding that, the stands were
scantily filled with parcels of both red and white, the de-
mand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce—owing to
the large importations of Grain and Flour from abroad,
and the prevailing fine weather for the crops—ruled ex-
ceedingly heavy, and in some instances is per quarter
less money was accepted by the factors before a clear-
ance could be effected. Several offers came to hand from
the east coast to ship Wheats, but at prices too high
for the speculators. Spring Corn has rapidly
improved in appearance during the past week.
We were somewhat extensively supplied with foreign
Wheat, but a large portion of it was greatly out of con-
dition, and scarcely-fit for mixing with English qualities.
A few somewhat large parcels of Dantzic changed bands
at the late improvement in value, but the middling and
inferior kinds were easier to purchase. The nominal
top price of the best Town-made Flour was 40s per
2801bs. Foreign parcels were plentiful, and quite as
dear as last week. No English Barley was on show, but
the supply of foreign was large. Grinding and malting
parcels were held at fully previous rates. In distil!ing
sorts, rext, to nothing was doing.
The quantity of Malt offering, ready for delivery, was
comparatively Small. Oa the whole the demand for
that article wait in a sluggish state, at late figures. We
were well supplied with Foreign Oats; but the supply of
those home-grown was limited. Selected parcels sold at
full prices. In other kinds very little was doing. The
transactions in Beans were limited, but we have no
change to notice in their value. Peas met a slow sale,
at last wet k's prices. Indian Corn and Meal stead y.

Since Monday last laru importations of foreign stock,
especially those of Sheep, Calves, and Pigs, have taken
place into the metropolis. The total arrival has
amounted to 4 707 head, against 4,141 durirg the same
period in 1849; 4,108 in 18t8; and 3,719 in 1847. The
general quality of the supplies is good.
