j; • without opposition.
There is not the least doubt entertained at Madrid of the success
of the Refugees, who entered Portugal by the province of Tres os
Mentes ; but it is thought that those' who entered by Extremadura
may not have obtained advantages so easy, inasmuch as their point
of attack being nearer to Lisbon, they, probably, will have to
contend with a more numerous force, provided that the troops
sent to oppose them do not follow the example of the garrisons of
Chaves and Miranda, which is, at least, very probable. It is cer-
tain that the Spanish Government has informed all the Ambas-
sadors at that Court, that she bas no participation in the enter-
prise of the Refugees. This declaration may be, perhaps, sincere ;
but the Cabinet at Madrid has been by no means mistress of the
sentiments of the nation, which are pronounced with energy on,
this occasion.
It is even probable that this pacific protestation would not have
been made, had the first successes of the Royalist refugees been
known sooner at Madrid.
It is looked upon as certain in the above-mentioned capital, that
Mr. Lamb has declared that if the new Portuguese Government be
threatened with danger, a considerable number of English troops
would be landed at Lisbon ; which, however, we can scarcely
credit, and which would not be consistent with what Mr. Can-
ning has spoken in Parliament, or expressed in the diplomatic
notes which be has addreteted to the Cabinets of the Continent.

Amidst a varietY, of topics which engaged the at-
tention of the two Houiei of Parliament last evening,
the subject of Emigration formed a prominent one.
It was brought on in the . House of Lords by, the
Marquis of LANSDOWN having to present a Petition
from a number of persons in the neighbourhood of
Glasgow, praying for pecuniary relief from Govern-
ment, to. enable them to transport themselves and
their families to his Majesty's possessions in North
America. 'The Noble Marquis expressed considerable
doubt whether the country could bear the expellee of'
encouraging Emigration by such means, and, in fact,
appeared not to have formed a decided opinion upon
the general question of Emigration.

Earl BATHURST consented to the Petition being re-
ceived, but wished it to be distinctly understood, that,
in so doing, he did not mean to bind himself to a com-
pliance with its prayer. His Lordship also admitted
that he could not then give any decided opinion as to
the propriety of adopting any particular measure with
regard to Emigration ; but that whatever plan might
be adopted, there were certain descriptions of persons
who could not be sent abroad, namely, the aged, the
sickly, and infirm.
This latter proposition is undeniable ; but then we
would ask, whether it is not a very strong argument
against emigration to any considerable extent ? Are
the young, the able bodied, and the healthy, to he al-
lowed to withdraw themselves from their native land,
and leave their aged and sickly parents or children,
to be maintained by others her while they are reckless
of the fate of these their deserted relatives? Ought
the law to sanction' any sytem so much in violation of
the fundamental principles of Nature and Religion ?
Or can et measure which is to drain the:land of its
strofigest members, relieve it from a pressure of dis-
tress ? Mr. W. Hon Tow, in' the House of Com-
mons, was anxious also to correct an erroneous idea
which had gone abroad, of his Majesty's Government
having at present held out any encouragement to emi-
gration.

On the other subjects before the House. of Corn-
ions last night, our limits permit us to say but little.
HumE, as usual, was the principal actor, but in
a discussion on his motion for further papers relative
to the often agitated question of Colonel BRADLEY
and Colonel ARTHUR, the Honourable Member re-
vetved so severe a castigation -from Lord PALMER-
STON, that had lie,not the nerve of a rhinoceros, he
would have sunk into the earth. His motion was of
course negatived without a division.

The Gazette of last night contains a notice for the
Payment of the long disputed Deccan Prize Money.
We regret to find that its actual amount falls very far
short of what it had been described to be.

An express has arrived this forenoon from Paris,
bringing, we presume, the same intelligence as we have
received from Lisbon. We have not yet received our
?vers.

We received this morning the Allgemeine Zeilung
of the 2d instant, and Frankfort papers of the same
date. Their contents are chiefly of a commercial cha-
racter. It appears that corn, wool, cotton, and other
colonial produce have advanced in price:—

The late rise in the prices of corn, in the Putch sea ports,
where wheat especially has risen from 15 to 20 florins per last,
in consequence of the recent favourable accounts from the English
market
have also caused a considerable advance here, and at

riediction, they form, as It were, an imperieut in.intperio. Strong
advantages are expected from this measure, besides the limplifiett-
tion of the administration in general, which is the object aimed
at, of which advantages is the improvement of the roads on the
estates lately belonging to their establishments, and which have
beets very little attended to.
In the same Assembly of the Citizens it was resolved to increase
the salary of our Senators, which was particularly necessary for
thelfembers who belong to the legal profession, because, on being
chosen into the Senate, they are obliged to give up their prac-
tyso that unless they hid an independent fortune of their own
Could hardly live in a style suitable to their rank. In future
elections it will not be so neeeasury to pay attention to the wealth of
the twesons proposed, as to their real ability for the duties of their
high office.
