" Several emigrant Cellist priests in France and in
Italy have been summoned to Rome, and assembled at
the end of the month of March, at the residence of
Cardinal Mepofanti, when he offered them money to
foment a Carlist insurrection in Spain. Some of the
priests rejected the offer, 'on the ground that they
had not sufficiency to stir up the various populations.
but one of them put himself forward to raise the Na-
varresse. Several Carlist and Christinite Generals as-
sembled at Paris. The former proposed to the latter
the marriage of the young Queen Isabella with the
son of Don Carlos, the Estatuto Real, and the Re.
gency of Queen Christina. The Carlist Generals are,
within a short period, to return an answer, for which
they have sought instructions in a high quarter. The
Carlist Christinite Junta of Bordeaux, is com-
posed of General Villareal, of the Marquis de
Valdespina, Ex-Minister of War with Don Car-
los, and of General Gomez. The Christinite Generals
whose mission is to consolidate or realise an alliance
between the Moderadoes and the Carlists, are Ge-
neral Pavia, at Toulouse, Brigadier Chacon, and the
Baron De Meer, at Montauban, and the Carlist Co-
lonel Santoreildes, at Bayonne. The Secret Central
Council of Paris, in accordance with the French Go-
vernment, as, we have been positively assured, sent
No personages to Don Carlos, viz., General Alza,
Ex •Commandant of the Province of Alava, who, up
to the present time, has taken upon himself
to conduct the business which devolved upon the•
imbecile Tamarizi and Don Juan Montenegro,
Major-General of Artillery, as legal adviser, and
likewise to be specially charged with the education
of the eldest son of Don Carlos. General Varges has
been dispatched from Bourges' to Ppis in order to
'
have an interview with. Christina, Martinez de
la Rosa, Zea Bermudez, INlirafiores, and others,
and to come to an understanding with
them on the subject of the Carlist-Christinite
alliance, as well as• of the marriage of Queen
Isabella with the eldest son of Don Carlos. From
Paris General "Vargas proceeded on the same mission
to Berlin, Augsburg, and other of the northern
capitals. We do not deem it prudent or fitting to
publish other information which has been transmitted
to us from Bourge's, Rome, and Paris, by persons on
whom the utmost reliance may be placed. T,ha day
is not far off when we shall be enabled to reveal it
with important and lengthy comments."

PORTUGAL.
Lisßox, MAY 17.—0 f all the Chartist Adminis-
rations which have been inflicted on this unfortunate
country, the present is the most immoral and con-
temptible. In support of our .assertion, we
have only to produce three or four facts, which
are open and glaring as the noon-day sun. In
1825, Senor A. J. de Carvalho Menezes, the Rea
gistrar, or Recorder of Angola, was dismissed from
his office as guilty of malversation of the public mo-
neys; legal proceedings were forthwith commenced
against him, and the whole of his property was
confiscated to meet the deficiency in the revenues
which had been caused by his delinquency. In 1828
the Supreme Tribunal of Justice at Lisbon publicly
pronounced the guilty man its being incapable for the
future of holding any public employment, by reason
of his crimes and misdemeanours. This selfsame
Senor Carvalho \lenzes, has just been appointed to the very place from which he J
was dismissed under
such flagrant circumstances.
On the 31st January, 1840, Senor Mourn Continho.
Judge of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice at Lisbon,
was dismiised from his office for gross venality and
partiality in the administration of justice, and for
having accepted a bribe of 1,0001. sterling for pro-
nouncing a decision in a cause of great importance, by
which decision, of course, the bribing party was bene-
fited to a very considerable amount. This righteous
judge has just been allowed again to take the judg-
ment-seat which he had so foully disgraced, and has
been raised to the peerage, and has had other signal
favours conferred upon him.
We ask at the hands of the Chartists themselves,
whether a Ministry, which enlists in its service such
branded creatures as these, does not deserve to be
held up to public execration.
The Duke of Terceira, who, notwithstanding the
enormous sums which he has cost Portugal, has still,
to a certain extent, maintained the character of a
nobleman and gentleman, ha,. now disgraced himself
by declaring himself the friend and protector of Senor
guzebio Candid°, a man whose venality, corruption,
and immorality have become proverbial.
The Court of Rome is not without its secret agents
in this scramble. By theirintrigues they have pro-.
cured a decision, by virtue of which the ancient ca-
thedral is to be restored ; and in order to throW dust
in the eyes of the imbecile creatures, who have voted
the money for this purpose, it is to be christened the
" Chapel Royal." The monks will not be long in
making their appearance, and yet, in order to truckle
to the Pope, the country is to be saddled with addi-
tional expenditure for the support of these miserable
drones, at a time when the financial difficulties are
rapidly approaching an alarming crisis.
Costa Cabral is in constant dread lest his confede-
rates should turn against him, and his' house is always
surrounded by a body hard of the 17th foot, which
he hopes would afford lum protection against any out-
break of public exasperation.
The following items are to he found in the list of
difficulties which surround the public treasury.
Consolidated foreign national debt 19,500,000/t.;,
national unconsolidated debt 975,000/. ; and between
.150,000/. and 200,000/., which are still owing to the
deluded Englishmen who came to Portugal in 1833
to assist in the expulsion of Don Miguel.
The enormous deficiency in the revenue is easily
accounted for, when we consider the character of
those men who are entrusted with the distribution of
the public moneys. The army in the provinces is, at
this present moment, six months' pay in arrear, and
the garrison at Lisbon is now crying out for four
months' pay, which is due. With regard to Senor
Euzebio Candido, we defy the Duke of Terceira to
point out a single respectable house in whitth that
person would dare to present himself, even backed by
an introduction from his Excellency himself: in
short, a had character is -absolutely indispensable in
this place. We have made assertions, and have pro-
duced facts to support them, and we again call upon
the Chartist clique to deny them if they can.
