LONDON, AUG. 2.
We have this morning received by
express the Paris papers of Monday,
which add some information, respecting
Portugal Measures seem to have been
taken by The Emperor Pedro to secure
he efectnal execution of his intentions.
Not ouly 10 the power of the ministry
pat into The hands of men of ability, well
affected TO the change of system, but the
decree for The immediate election of
ihe Cortes has heen issued. As the
great families had been previously con-
aIiated by the creation of House OF
Peers, Gan institution which gives
weight TO the nobility which they can
never ENJOY under an absolute mon
Rrchy,) we may hope that the decided
declaration of The Sovereigus will, aided
by Well-disposed ministry and all the
intelligence of the country, efTec uaIIy
support the constitution against the in
trigues from which alone it has any
thipg 10 dread
Speaking of the new Constitution for
Portugal granted by Don Pedro, the
editor Of a Liverpool paper says, g the
Two branches of the Legislature resem-
bile the British Parliament. The pro-
mitigation of this charter, which con-
tains many wise and liberal regulations,
has thrown the bigotled Ferdinand into
stale Of terrible alarm. Startled at
the name Of a Constitution, he has adj
dressed notes of remonstrance 70 the
Ambassadors of Russia, Austria and
France, intfeadng them no; TO recognize
the proposed change. France will
probably turn a deaf ear TO his intrea
ties, aud may be induced even TO meet
the wishes of the enlightened patriots
o. Spain, by permitting similar change.
For she must see the folly OF propping
mp, at great eTpense, the intoleranI
and debasing domination 10 which the
weak and despotic Ferdinand ia welded.
AS 10 any interference by other powers,
the close alliance between Portugal and
England will no doubt prevent it's
A Paris paper is quoted, stating that
Don Miguel, the Infant of Portugal, had
sent a courier TO Lisbon (rnm vienna. TO
declare his opposition 70 The new Con.
stitution, presented by his brother. the
Emperor of Brazil. Ii is said the En-.
gllsh Ambassador has had great in1u-
eEce 10 obtaining and recommending the
new charter; and that the opposition
expressed by Don Miguel is excited
and supported by the Court Of Austria.
II is conjectured, therefore, and not /
without Teason, that all the members oil
the Holy Alliance'' are dissatisfied
with the Constitution lately granted BY
Don Pedro TO his native kingdom.-
Time will disclose more on this subject.
We aPprehend that the jeaIousies and
the fears of legitimacy will lead the
monarchs Of Continental Europe to ep-
pose the adoption of this charter; and,
ii they do, we predict that il will hasten
the work ofrevolutioo, and of their own
downfall. 1880
