ie: triu4,#A, in the

:Chainl3:4- of Deputies on Friday, the proposition ot AI. Gan-
peron, for taking into consideration the propriety of electoral
reforM, having been rejected by a majority of eight votes.
The opposition papers attempt to claim this small majority
as a moral victory, but they are evidently mistaken, for their
-numbers would have been mnsiderably greater, if, in lien of

a motion for taking into consideration,-the plan itself had
been submitted to the chamber. No doubt the majority was

_
swelled by the votes of ministers and placemen ; but such is
the case in representative chambers like those of England
and France, and the beaten party have no more right to com-
plain on this occasion than they have on any other when the
government has an interest at stake. The numbers were,—

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the Bth ult.
The Duke de Palmella had failed to form an administration,
and announced that fact to the Queen late on the 7th ult. The
late ministers were at the palace when the despatches left, and
appeared to be again reinstated in their offices. It had tran-
spired that the troops in Lisbon were not much to be de-
pended on, every regiment almost being split into rival poli-
tical factions. Some troops treated the Duke Terceira rather
unceremoniously a few days before, shouting out vehemently
for " the constitution of 1838." Bloodshed was expected in
Lisbon before many days passed over.
