FROM ENGLAND.

ne Irish COcrClON i9ill PASSES SlOWly
through the House of Commons: and although
the minority increase in number, ministers
seem to carry all the clauses, not without mate
rial notifications, however. That clause which
gives power to bring persons to trial before
courts martial, was carried by a majority Of
| $50, but its provisions were confined, by an
amendment, to civil offences alone. Mr.. o.
Connell has given notice Of u motion to enquire
into the eXpadiency if Introducing system Of
poor laws INTO Ireland, Of which measure he
has hitherto been strenuous opposer. HIS
motion therefore, caused much establishment.
One or two affrays had taken place with the
police in Ireland, and some lives were lost.
From Holland there is nothing decisive. 1t
i is asserted however, that an important change
has taken place in public opinion, and that the
mercantile community in particular are anx-
ious that the Government should put an end to
the difficulties under which the country labors.
A Dutch vessel from China laden with teas
belonging to the Dutch Trading Company, had
been sent into England.
We copy an account of an attack made by
the army of Don Miguel on Don Pedro's posi-
ton at Oporto, which is said to have been sue
cessfully resisted, but it is proper to observe,
that this account rests solely on the authority
of single letter written by an English Cap
tain, Of Don Pedro's squadron; at any rate,
the situation of the latter does not seem to be as
former accounts represented.
The young men accused of having shot at
the King on his way to the Legislative Cham-
bers have been acquitted, as have also all the
persons found on board the steam vessel Carlo
Alberto, supposed to have landed the Duchess
de Berry. These persons had previously been
once acquitted but were tired again in conse-
quence Of some informality IN the proceedings.
The interest taken in the Duchess herself seems
fast dy ing away and if she is spoken OF at all, it
is in rdicule.
The account of cessation of hostilities, be-
tween the Sultan and Pacha of Egypt is fully
confirmed.
In Spain the liberal advisers of the Queen
seem to be gaining entirely the upperhand. If
it be true, as is stated, that the Kings brother,
Don Carlos, had been exiled from the King
dom, all hopes of the Apostolicals must go with
him.
Business in London is entirely at stand
still, in consequence of an apprehended change
in the currency system. The advocates for an
unlimited issue of Bank paper are becoming
evidently more numerous. At present no Bank
Notes under IS are allowed to be circulated,
DEFEAT OF THE INEQUALITIES.
OpoRTo, March 5-"This morning, at day
light, after bonbarding the town during the
night, the troops of Miguel made grand at
tack in the direction OF Cordello and st. John
| de Foz. A diversion had been made in the
vicinity of Agoa Ardente, but it was soon per-
ceptibe that the main object of attack was to-
wards the Cordelo line.
'rThe troops of Don Miguel were completely
repuised and it is supposed that they have sus-
tanned considerable loss; upwards of 800 are
said to have been killed, but credence cannot
be given to all the reports current in the town.
Don Pedro's troops have comparatively
sustained little loss; but the Scottish corps, UNI
der Major Shaw, have suffered most; one officer
in that corps, has been killed, and almost every
officer, with the exception of its commander,
Shaw, has been wounded on the constitutional
side. Supplies of provisions, ammunition and
troops are daily expected"
The letter from which the above intelligence
is taken was brought by the Alban Steamer,
. which touched at Vigo on the 18th, on its way
from the Mediterranean.
I With respect to the extent of the advantages
gained by the liberatlng army from this success
full resistance, we cannot speak positively: but
it is quite certain that they hare again beaten
of the Migueltes and the result of the conflict
cannot fail to inspire the army of the Queen Of
Portugal with fresh courage and increased
confidence and to produce a favourable effect
on the inhabitants of Portugal.
TURKEY.
Important advices have been received at
: Vienna, by Dragoman, despatched from Con-
stantinop!e by the lnternuncio, at the desire of
the Refs Efendi. Itappears that the French
!, Admiral Roessn, with the concurrence of the
d English Charge d'Aifaires, Mr.. Vaudeville,
had prevailed on the Porte to accept the me-
iiation of France between the Sultan and the
E Viceroy of Egypt, and that a treaty had been
r signed by the French and the Ottoman minis-
ter, by which the Porte cedes TO the Egyptians
the whole coast of Syria from Tripoi to the
borders of Egypt, with a tract in the interior
which Includes Jerusalem, but not Damascus.
Aleppa, Scanderoon, and all the other con
! quests of the Egyptian army, are to be restored
to the Ottoman Porte. A messenger had been
Q despatched to ibrahim Pacha, with intelligence
of this convention, and declaration, that if he
advances further into Asia Minor, France will
