The London Times of tho third, holds this lam
guage:
"There is little chance, we understand, that the
second reading of the Reform Bill will DO carried
in the House of Lords by more than the scantiest
possible majority. OF the Bill passing the Com.
mittee without entire change of its most esse n
tial clauses, there is no prospect whatever-not
the most remote--wth d BODY of Peers composed

ALTHOUGH, however, defeat upon the first great
question which is likely to arise i'm the committee
may DO repaired by an immediate creation of Peers
who would aid the Government in resembling the
obnoxious vote upon bringing up the report, it is
abundantly certain that a defeat on the second
reading itself must be altogether irretrvable Yet

BRUSSELS, April Q.

artillery and lancers have been ordered for Brussels

put under arms, and the horses harnsssed to the

The Dutch and Belgians themselves think that
an appeal to arms is highly probable, because they
are both making the most anxious and expensive
preparation for that contingency
| PORTUGAL.
Our Madrid and Lisbon letters continue te
strengthen the impression that in the chinp
struggle between the brothers for the Crown Of
Portugal, Spain will act neutrally. The latest &C.
counts from Don Pedro state that he took possess

Don Miguel, though strong in all the material OF
defence, was becoming daily weak in the idcl.
