tugal represent the affairs of that kingdom
as being in no better situation. Twenty
three Constitutionalists were condemned In
! April, as having been concerned in the in
surrection at Oporto last year, twelve of
whom were executed, and eleven banished.
! The expedition to Terceira sailed on the
9th April. In debate in the French
Chamber on the 10th, M. de Pompiere, re-
marking on expenditure, said that the con-
veyance of an African lion to Paris cost
1000 francs; but that in 1896 it cost the
| French double that sum to accelerate the
arrival in Portugal of tiger, or biped mon
ster, much more dangerous. This remark
led to one of those scenes of seeming con-
fusion, common in the Chamber. The Por
! tuguese Government, it was said, had aban-
| doned the contemplated issue of paper
money.
! There was an order in the Lisbon Ga
zette of May LIST, from Don Miguel, to dis
I miss eight Portuguese Consuls, viz: at
Phlladel phia, New York, Elsineur, Stettln,
! Paris, Marseilles, Havre de Grace, and Bar
celona.
The London Courier of May % says
"The accounts from Lisbon of the 9th men
ton that the sentence against the twelve
Constituencies at Orporto was carried in
! to execution on the 7th-and this is the
first proof furnished of a more humane poll
cy! The population of Opotto were thunder
struck at the order of execution, received
on the very day when the decree of the
Minister of Justice, promising milder sys-
TEN, arrived. A good deal of irritation and
discomfort was manifested but, says let
ter from Lisbon
"In order to cool the fermentation the
authorities caused it to be published that it
was mere formaIty, and the Royal pardon
was depended upon, and was hourly expect
! ed. They succeeded thus to calm and de-
lude the irritation felt for the respectable
and innocent victims, until early on Thurs
day morning, when, as in the case of Briga-
der Moreira and his fellow sufferers here,
a temporary gallows appeared in the finest
square of Oporto (Praca Novo.) The most
imposing military dispositions were display
ed, the unfortunate victims were led to the
spot, and by ten o'clock they were no
more"
Accounts from Terceira say that the
garrison of that island is composed of $500
men, and that perfect tranquility prevails
there. No fears are entertained of an at
tack by Don Miguel, and the Notifications
are in the best state of defence. A mer-
chant ship had arrived from Portugal, with
several Portuguese emigrants, among whom
were some naval officers.
Paris, Mag II. The Austrian Observer
of the 9th of May, gives from the Courier
de Smyrne of the 9th of April news from
Canea ofthe 9th and 10th of March -
Captain Leblanc, commanding the Action
brig of war, having arrived at Suda on the
LIST of February, went the next day to
Canes, to have conference with Mustapha
Pacha, the Governor of that fortress. Cap
tain Leblanc had instructions from Admiral
De Rigny to pursuade the Pacha to be
moderate in employing she new forces
which he might receive from BsyP'' VIZ
blockade of the ifd lpqe& the hE ngsh he0 He was
to recommend to the Pacha no longer to
treat as slaves the prisoners whom he might
have taken from the Greeks, and above all,
not to sell them and send them q -Egypt, as
the Allied Powers could not remain indif-
ferent to the treatment experienced by those
unfortunate Individuals who are part of
people whom they take under their pro-
} lection.
The French officer was at the same
time commissioned to confer with the
Greek Chiefs, to demonstrate to them the
real state of things, and persuade them to
put an end to war which would hence
forward have no object, because the Presi-
dent of Greece must Conine himself to the
: limits assigned to the new State by the
medltating Powers. Though these limits
are considerably extended by the late reso-
, lutlons of March q, it is said positively
that the island of Gambia would remain in
the possession Of the Turks. The Pacha
replied that he wished nothing so much as
= to see the return of tranquility and peace
for all the inhabitants of the island, from
} whatever quarter the benefit might come =:
: that, for his part he had employed towards
the Greeks all possible methods of modera-
ton and clemency; that not being able to
: induce the Greek insurgents to submit he
had been obliged to employ rigor; but that,
to give Admiral DE Rigny a proof of his re-
spect for his wishes, he would suspend all
hostilltles, and see what effect would be
produced upon the Greeks by the honorable
and pacific mission of Captain Leblanc.
Paris, May 10. There is now in the
roads of Marseilles frigate, built bv order
of Mehemet All. Nothing, it is said, can
be more rich and magnificent than this YES
sci, which will cost the Pacha 100000
francs. 1t contains a suite of sDlendid
Pc iNi"'SHcu WIN lhaC InhgnlfI-
cence and oriental effemnacy which would
perfume even the tar.
All the accounts from Greece announce
that Missolonghi must soon fall The
Greeks intend TO blow up all the works of
the fortresses they may take in Livadia. to
prevent any reaction on the part of the
Turks. Of $500 French who will remain
in the Morea, one battalion will be in parri-
son at Patras, the remainder in Navarino
and Modon.
