Il TmE MINIsTRY.-The funds have ral-
lied in some respects this morning, un-
der the persuasion, which has been very
general in the city, that means will be
found to rescnd the vote of Friday, for
the reduction Of the malt tax, and that n
stand will be mndc against such II further
reduction Of taxes, as will put the ma
tional credit in jeopardy. TIE most ca
ger desire is shewn in all quarters to
learn the course likely TO be pursued by
the ministry in the present difficult emer-
gency. Consols left of at 81 Il to go
for the account, and exchequer bills at
40 to so premium
/ PoRrUGAL.-The London Merchant
Stean-vessel, arrived in the river this
afternoon from Oporto, having sailed
from thence on the morning Of the esd,
and brings intelligence on the whole ia
vorable to the constitutional cause. The
differences with Sartorious appear to
have been adjusted in a satisfactory man
ner. The admiral was at anchor with
the whole of his squadron in Oporto,
roadstcad and had been joined by the
Liberal schooner which had contrivcd,
though not without sustaining some dam
age, to pass the batteries. The Mar
quis Of Soule had been on board the flag
ship Of Sartorions and had given assur-
anccs that the whole of the pay for the
feet should be forthcoming Immediately.
a portion ol'thc treasure destined for that
purpose had arrived. An officer was on
shore deputed by the Admiral, and in
communication with the servant respect
ing the fulfilmcnt Of the claims made by
him. 1t seems, however, to have been
his intention not TO recomrncnce active
service until the whole were satisfied.
Intelligence is understood to have
reached the government at Oporto, Of n
rising at Tigueras in favor of the Con-
stitutional cause, and pressing instances
were consequently made to Sartorius to
despatch steam-vessel thither without
delay for the purpose Of communicating
with the shore. The urgency Of the
case, in which his services had become
indis pensable, was in favor of immediate
and full satisfaction Of the Admiral's de-
mands. A vessel, called the Mercury,
had arrived at Oporto, with three hun
dred and twenty Frenchmcn on board to
Join the army.
No military operations Of any impor-
tance on the part OF Don Pedro, had ta-
ken place subse quentIy to the 9th, when,
according to the accounts brought off
from the shore, sortie was made for the
purpose of attacking Cabello Hill, and a
small village adjoining it, where a por-
ton Of the enemy were posted; they
were driven out, but made two desperate
efforts 10 regain possession Of the port,
in which, however, they were repulsed,
and it remained in possession ofthe Con-
