means would suit the present distempered state of the
country, which, he added. only the enemies to her re-
pose could recommend. After some further remarks,

he said it was impossible that the Pairmass REGIRNT
could be acquainted with the real state of affairs, and
proposed that a deputation should respectfully lay be-
fore her Royal Highness a correct picture of the evils
•' which torethe bosom of the country." The proceedings
on the following daywere equally important. &Ma GAL.
sass, in a written discourse, took an animated retro-
spective view of events, as they had occurred since the
arrival of the Lealdade corvette from Rio with the
Constitution given by the Emperor PEDRO, in the course
of which he shewed the progress of the Conspiracy
against the Charter, the hostility of Spain, and the
culpable negligence of the persons at the head of the
Administration. He concluded by moving, " That a
respectful Address be presented to the PRINCESS Rs,
GENT, :hewing- the actual state of the nation, and re-
questing her to adopt such measures as the Portuguese
nation expects from her exalted virtues; and to entrust
the execution of them to men who have not lost the con-
fidence of the nation."

After some debate whether the proposal should be
taken into immediate consideration, it was determined,
that it was too important to be decided without mature
reflection, and the consideration of it was accordingly
deferred.

PRIVATiI IitTER.

" Lissom, MAncx 10.

" Chaves is now in full entreat; the rebels have left
Mirandolla, and retreated is two bodies—one to Mon-
core°, and the other towards Braganza : the first
division under Jollies Jordan, who intended to throw
a bridge of boats over the Douro at Espada, to get into
Spain ; but they took alarm at the Constitutional troops
approaching, and fled to Mojodouro, to join Chaves's
division. General Mello, with his troops, expected to
be at Braganca en the 3d, for Chaves and his forces in-
tended to enter Spain by Onteiro, where they expected
to meet with a kind reception. It is considered that
several orders have been issued by Ministers to prevent
a general attack of the fugitives.
a The British Army will move, as it is positively saidri
about the 25th from Coimbra back towards Abrantes ;
it is said on account of the scarcity of provisions, and
will go into camp. It is certain that advertisements
have appeared for provisions for three months, or a
longer period, to be supplied within three leagues of
the river from Santarem to Abrantes.
44 In the Chamber of Deputies some discussion of im-
portance has taken place-1 s, The means of providing
money for the payment of the interest of the loan ; 2d,
the situation of the northern provinces ; and 3d, the mo•
tion called in England the state of the nation : as to the
first there is a continual discussion, but nothing effected.
a Fran Spain we have information that Salmon and
General Sarsfield have resigned. Two Englishmen are
said to have been seised as spies at Badajos. Every
preparation is making in Spain for war. We have a I
report that an attempt was made some time ago to poi-
son Don Miguel at Vienna."

We have received the Paris Papers of Saturday and
Sunday. With respect to the affairs of Spain, the
intentions of her Government, and the spirit of the army.
their contents are as conflicting as possible; whilst,
with the single exception of the Quotidienne, they concur
with respect to the disarmament of the Portuguese
rebels. With regard to the conspiracy, they are still as
much at variance as ever—the Etoik denying its exist-
ence, though in rather a fainter tone than before ; whilst
most of the other Journals recur to their first assurances

on the subject. It is probable that some discovery has
been made of a dangerous character, though the precise
nature of the danger is still involved in obscurity. It
is not likely, however, from the extraordinary care
bestowed on the formation of the Army of Observa-
tion, that liberal feelings have maJe any great progress
in its ranks; and it is much more probable, provided
that it has really displayed any strong symptoms of
discontent, that they have originated in the opposite of
such feelings. It is our firm persuasion, as we stated
yesterday, that there is no disinclination on the part of
that army to a war with Portugal, but, on the con•
trary, a decided wish in its favour. If hostilities
be avoided, it will be without the consent, and, if
we are not mistaken, much to the dissatisfaction
of the troops, which would account for the conspiracy,
about which the Paris Papers are still at issue. If
General SARSTIELD has made repeated visits to the
'Spanish capital, and even tendered his resignation, since
its discovery, we suspect that his inducement to Abe
former was to stew the real feelings of the army, and
that his motive for offering his resignation was his par-
ticipation in those feelings which, as we have already
said, appear to us to be decidedly warlike.

We received this morning the Diario di Roma to the
1 lthMarcb,but it contains no intelligence of importance

TR/ EARL or LivaarooL.—The report made by Dr.
Daavut yesterday, on visiting the Noble Earl at his
residence at Whitehall, was, His Lordship is going
on very well.'

It will be seen from our Parliamentary Report,
that Mr. C. GRANT last night proposed a new scale of
duties, accommodated to the imperial measure, on the
importation of grain, ke. He fixed the price of
wheat at 625. per quarter, and the duty at 28s. Bd.
the former being 2s. and the latter Bd. more than
per Winchester measure. The price of barley he fix•
ed at 595. and the duty at 12s. 4d. per imperial mea-
sure, being an increase of Is. in price, and 4d. in duty, as
compared with the Winchester measure. The price of
oats is fixed at 255. with a dirty of 9s. Sd. per imperial
measure, being an increase of Is. in price, and 3d. in
duty, as compared with the Winchester measure. With
respect to rye, peas, and beans, the price per imperia
measure js fixed at. 36.. arid the duty at Iss. 6J. being
an increase of 1,. in price, and 61. in duty.
