London papers two days later than were an
nounced on Saturday, have been brought by the
ship Francis Depau, Capt. Robinson, at New
York We add snch items as appear to be
worth noting.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The journals which had propagated the rumor
of the resignation of Earl Grey, had varied the
report-announcing merely that it is his intention
TO resign The Courier says" the latter as
sertion is quite as unfounded as the former"
The rumors respecting a change of ministry ha-
wing thus been completely put down, the money
market had become frmer. On the Goth, the
opening price of ConsolS was SO 1-2 SIS. At four
o'clock, Consols for Account, IS ga 49,
PORTUGAL.
The latest accounts from Lisbon, which are to
the 14th of January, are decidedly of favora-
BILE nature for the constitutonalists, both with
regard to the present conditions OF the contend
ing armies, and likewise the prospect of an i'm
mediate settlement of party differences, which
have so long existed amongst the courtiers In
Lisbon. Some movements of animportant and
active nature, were expected shortly to be made
against Santarem, where much discomfort and
sickness existed.
The following is from the correspondent of
the London Courier, dated,
LISBON, JAM II.
"Some movement of Importance is evidently
in contemplation. The Duke de Terceira went
to Cartaxo the day before yesterday, to take
command ofthe army; and Saldanha, it is said,
is be the Minister of War. Others say that
the latter is to command division intended
TO cut off the retreat of the Miguelites on the
north side of Santarem, should they attempt TO
move that way instead OF crossing the river IN
Alemtego In the mean time the dissatisfaction
of the foreign troops is hourly increasing, not
only at the hardness of pay, but at the small
ouantty and very inferior quality OF their ra-
tions. Thursday morning the Scotch recruits
at Val de Perera paraded outside the barracks
with pieces of rancid bacon stuck on the points
of their bayonets; as for their rice they threw it
out of the windows into the streets Upwards
of2OO Of them have been sent to prison Col
Dodgin continues very i'll, but is likely to reco-
YER Gen. Nepomuceno, the officer who COM
manded the attacks upon the windms at Pernes
and Torres Novas, is coming to Lisbon to be
tried by Court Martial. 1t appears that on the
night of the Sd inst his troops were surprised By
strong body ofMiguete cavalry, and suffered
very severely. On the 9TH instant 1900 Miguel
ties showed themselves in the nei9hborhood of
Alcobaca, but retired again on the advance of
the constitutional force.
According to the report given by the Chron-
ica, there were but few shots fred and no xiii
led or wounded on either side AT present can
give you no further information; but next week
will probably be very fertile in events, as there
is every appearance that something important
is intended to be done. No hostilities have ia
ken place on the south of the Tagus."
The reported intention Of England to inter-
vene in the affairs ofPortugal, gathers strength
from the confrmatory tone ofthe Paris Journals
which add statement that the intervention is
to be made in concert with the French Govern
ment-England to furnish six thousand troops
towards the expedition.
GERMANY.
letter from Vienna, December 30th, states,
that the Austrian Government has concluded
treaty with Russia, containing precautionary
stipulations, connected with possible changes In
the condition Of the Sublime Forte.
THE ADRIATIC.
sweeping hurricane occurred IN the Cult OF
Venice, on the oath of December, doing great
damage in the road Of Trieste. A Greek brig
that was secured by a cable, resisted for long
time the violence of the waves; but the cable at
length breaking, she was driven on shore, went
to pieces, and sunk, all in few minutes; the
crew, partly swimming, partly holding by ropes
sent to them, kept above water till the boats saw
ed them The water was covered with wrecks;
fifteen ships were sunk, and very few escaped
injury. Of the number of boats that were put
out scarcely single boat escaped To judge
by the quantity of wreck, great number must
have persisted. The hurricane continued for
three hours
