EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We received at'a late hour this morning sin Express from
P uis, wiih the Paris Papers of Sunday. The Quolidienr'e
gives an account from Lisbon of great desertions in the
Constitutional force at Oporto, and pretends that the
Miguelites are on the point of putting down their Opponents.
The Quotidienne's intelligence respecting such flatters is
often somewhat apocryphal.
The- Papers are filled with the debate on the motion of
M. Labbey de Pompieres, to which extraordinary import-
ance is attached, proposing the accusation or impeachment
of the late Ministers. lie accused them "of the introduc-
tion into all the offices of the enemies of the State ; the
hatred of existing institutions ; the suspension or non-ex-
ecution of the laws; religious intolerance ; the restriction
of their liberties ; arbitrary destitutions ; rage against in-
docile bedies, even to the cantemlf. of.the Chambers." He
proceeded to illustrate these positions, and concluded with
presenting the following propositions, which were read
over by the President :
" 1 accuse them (the late Ministers) of treason to the
King, whom they have isolated from the people.
" I accuse them of treason towards the people, whom
they have deprived of the confidence of the King.
" I accuse them -of treason in having attempted against
the Constitution of the country, and the particular rights
of the Citizens.

" I accuse them of concussion in having levied taxes
not voted, and having wasted the public money."
The terms of these propositions were strongly obiscted
against. " What !" said M. de Martignac, "will you dis-
cuss a proposition in which it is said that the King has
been isolated from his people ; that the people have been
deprived of the confidence of their King."
A curious elucidation then took place—At the ecorn-
mendation of his friends, M. Labbey de Pompieres had
introduced into the two obnoxious propositions the word
attempted (tentO, reading them, as "attempted to isolate
the King front the people," " attempted to deprive the
people of the confidence of the, King ;" but the altera-
tions had not been made in the inanuscript from which
the President read. The debate closed by the Chamber
taking almost unanimously into consideration the following
proposition :
" The Chamber of Deputies accuse MM. the Members
of the late Ministry of the crimes of treason and cencus-
siou (extortion)."
This proposition will be .referred to the Bureaux, and a
Commission will be named to examine it.

• (From the Quotidienne of Sunday.)
Pa RV, JUNE 14.—The length of the debates in the
sittings to-day, oblige us to defer till to-morrow, the in-
teresting news which we have received bola Portugal.—
We shall content ourselves, to-day, with saying that deser-
tion has begun to thew itself among the rebels at Oporto ;
and that notwithstanding the distribution of money, the 18th
Regiment of Infantry, and the 11th of Chasseurs, have
joined the Royalist troops which were at Amarante ; that
the three vessels which were sent to blockade Oporto were
cruising at the mouth of the Douro, and had opened a com-
munication with the Government of the fort of Foz, which
commands the mouth of the river, so that all the issues
were closed against the rebels. All the faithful troops, and
a great number of militia, were assembled at Ikaga, Ama-
rante, Lamego, Leiria, and other points. Thus a cordon
of considerable force surrounded the revolted city, in which
destruction and consternati•m already prevailed.
On the 31st May, above 20,000 Royalist Volunteers had
been enrolled at Lisbon.

On the 29th May, a Manifesto had been published
le capital in answer to that of the Insurgents.

WESTMORELAND ELECTION.

(From the Carlisle Journal.)
It has been resolved by the friends of Mr. Brougham,
wisely we think, not to oppose the return of Lord Lowther
for Westmoreland upon the present occasion. Mr.
BrougLam's address to the freeholders of 'that county will
be found in another column. From this, however, the
Lowthers will . see that they will again be opposed when
the suitable time arrives—a general election. In the pre-
sent state of affairs, when Parliament may be dissolved
almost any day, it would have been folly to enter upon a
contest with such fearful odds against success, when the
hattle, in all probability, would he to fight over again in
a very short period.*
The election is fixed for Monday first ; and it is expected
that though the Noble Lord will be permitted to " walk
over the course," to use the sort of slang with which his
Lordship is most familiar, some " explanations" will be
required of him, by those who arc not over and above
satisfied that .the " weight" which he says he is about to
give to his " pslitical principles," by accepting of some
4,000/. a year out of the taxes, will add to the prosperity or
increase the happiness of the country.
His Lordship will doubtless dilate upon the advantages
of " decision," and give a true and correct explanation of
the causes which led to the recent rupture in the Cabinet;
disclaiming, of course, all aristocratic influence, and de-
9ouncing liberality as high treason. A promise will also
be made that all local grievances shall he removed, that va-
rious road bills shall be passed, and that excise places in
abundance shall now be supplied to the good men and true.
Mr. Wilson, of Casterton, is expected to nominate the
Noble Lord, and will probably be secowded by Colonel
Wilson; of Dallain Tower (a Whig in principle, but a Tory
in action), or by Mr. Maude, of Kendal, " in holyday and
lady terms."
• His Lordship arrived at Lowther Castle on Thursday,
and was expected to make a few calls upon the freeholders
of the neighbourhood in the course of yesterday and to-day.
* Sir H. Hardinge, in his speech at Durham on Mon-
day last, said there might be an election ." probably in
three months."

Letters have been received from Ceylon, stat-
ing:that. the lifiTst Stewart Elphinstone had arrived
there on the 17th. January, with Sir J. P. GRANT and
family on. board.

On Saturday last, as the dredgimg machine,
which is used by the Ceimmissioners of the river Wear fur •
cleansing the river, was at work near the bridge, itbrought
up the body of a sailor boy without a head ! The body
has been recognized as that of a boy who fill from out of a
boat awl was drowned about four months since. Ile was
one of the crew of a vessel belonging to Little Hampton.
His body was injured in several places, supposed by the
keelinen's sets used in working their keels.—Durktin
Advet tiser.
On Wednesday evening, a very large sturgeon
was found in the stake-nets at Montrose. It measured in
length from the tip of the nose to the point of the tail,
eight and one-half feet, and girth three and one-fourth
feet. Its weight is supposed to be between Itand 2 cwt.
The sturgeon is a remarkably strong fish while in the
water, and this we could readily suppose from seeing it,
after it had been fully an hour out of the water, nearly lift
a stout boy from the ground with a feeble wave of its toil.
Being such an uncommon fish among las, a vast number of
people visited it in the evening.—Scotsman,
