THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

OPTHAMPTON, AUG. 27.—The Little Liverpool,
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship, Cap-
tainevelel3nirnie, arrived in our docks this morning, at
o'clock. She brings the usual mails, and
twenty-two passengers.
The Little Liverpool brings very little information
relative to the French and Morocco affair. Her Ma•
Jest Y's steamer Hecla arrived at Gibraltar on the eve
4:othe departure of the Liverpool, with dispatches for
talive"n
T, ment. She reported that the French had
and -;,a slnall island, within shell range of Mogadore,

Matters are quiet at Tangiers.

the it'L Vepiavifts, Steam-ship, left that place on
fr for Mogadore. There were also two Danish
ttel and a Danish steamer at Gibraltar.
li'''fe Little Liverpool exchanged colours with a

g day with her Majesty's ship Caledonia.

dnl which must soon terminate, either in the
)111-wafal of Costa Cabral's power, or the triumph of
• P°licY, by the restoration of absolutism. The
re-re's respecting the judges which is, obviously. to
h tider them completely dependent upon the Crown,
excited so much alarm, and raised so determined
l'eaBPirit of opposition, that the Ministers will find it no
b,'Y matter to stand their ground a
Jainst it.
stiCe Judges in the Supreme Court ofJustice in
rs city (seventeen in number) have addressed a
"g remonstrance to the Queen against the
firrPe, Having met for the purpose of draw-
vittc) tti, the address, they previously in-
fie „ no AtterneyrGeneriil, Mr. Ottolini, to be pre-
to"L at the meeting, ill order to state whatever rea-
4's he might have to allege in favour of the decree.
fe at officer appeared accordingly, and instead of de-
7d`ng the decree, acknowledged that he could not
ill? Word in support of it, as it was manifestly a
s„,4tign Pr the Constitutional Charter; but that, as a
ant of the Crown, he polild not sign the represen-
ol'°,n agZ!nst it. The address of reMonstiance hav-
Ter) been put to the vote, and carried unanimously,
'trid as
ietat tck the office of the Minister of the Interior,
Trl b--„*.t Silva Carbalh9, a President of the Supreme
of was deputed to proceed with a copy
it " to Cintra, for the purpose of laying
before the Queen—a thankless office, as he soon
fossejt his cost ; for, besides having been most un-
ler4ei'°4§lY ilee4,ii;elby her Majesty, he was, on the
de'Y next day, clisitti4e4 from his situation as Presi-
-1,...at of that Court. Similar adtlyesges are in prepa-
ration from the Tribunal of Commerce and the ether
?sorts of
.egn ii.stice, and although the Minister of Vo-
for Affairs, Gomez de Castro, is gone to Oporto
a furxpress purpose of
theirspreventg,.if possible,
vfini step on the part of judges of that
is thought that they will follow the ex-
Set ),,y ;heir Lisbon colleagues. But the "most
heer,--Test cut of' ail," and, perhaps, the severest, has
da,-,4rom the Duke of p0rp,9114, who, after some
hua delay and apparent hesitation, at last went
me 1 to the Queen, and told her that, both as a
reetber, of the Privy Council, and as a Veer of the

all a most glaring infraction of the charter. With
Cabral's energy, it is not likely that he will be able
4,ol'ileome so powerful an array. The Cortex,
que sit ; fqiii4 next month, will soon decide the
hinh, unless, iiiiiieed; Cabral should take it upon
nin!eit to prorogue the meeting foy elle month, or six
itoths or sine die, which is not at all unliWY:
