:. The precise cause of the sudden retirement Of
Narvaez IS not known, and many contradictory
accounts OF 1t are, consequently, current. II IS
perhaps a maps, not very important why he went out
!ne great thing rs, that he is out The new minis
Yry OF Seror lsturit5 is completed. Lstiritz is
ian oftalent but wanting in decision OF character.
II is not believed that his government is destined
% ENJOY very long existence; there is, neverthe-
. Narvaez is now in France. His friends say that
ne retired voluntarily; but the fact is, that he re-
celved very expressive hint that his abscnce was
desirable. One of the causes assigned for his re-
signaton is, that he had warm dispute with
Queen Christina about the new law relative to
stock exchange transactions It is certain that
there was such discussion, but i was not the
sole cause of his resignation. Both Narvex and
Queen Christina were wholesale gamblers on
the Bourse, and used the official and political intel
hgence to which they had access, to fleece the
public.
The people have sspronounccd" at Lueo. and
in other places there have been troubles but the
public tranquility has not been seriously dis
turbed.
Portugal.
The north Of Portugal has been the scene of an
mSurrecuonary movement, originating with the
VINE growers, who have risen sgainst the exac-
lions OF the government. The country has been
put under martial law. The insurgents number
ed between three and four thousand. They
showed some courage, but were impcrfectly arm
ea. The constitution was suspended on the Goth
ultmo, the liberty of the press was suspended,
and military tribunals for the trial of the disaf
fected had been instituted. If the movement had
been more general, it would have seriously en-
barassed, perhaps overthrown, the government.
Belgium.
The advices from Brussels are to April a.
Alter many choppings and changings, cabinet
was constructed with M. de Theua at its head
1t is still in existence, but from the warm hostility
IT encounters in the Chambers, is not destined to
i've long, at least so most people think The
exclusively domestic, that it is not worth while
mentioning them.
There have been some disturbances at Client
have been distributed exciting the people to re-
volt. Several arrests have been made, and all is
now tranquil.
Switzerland.
The berne people, by their Assemble Constitu-
ante, have drawn up projet of their new const-
tuition, which will, no doubt, be eventually adopt
ed. It's so democratic that it would have dc
lighted the heart of General Jackson, had be been
alive, to see it.
Germany.
News from Berlin is to April Co. 1t is again
very positively asserted that the long promised
constitution is, at last, about to be Conceded
What is certain, is, that there has been a solemn
consultation of the Cabinet upon the subject 1t
is said that majority Of the Ministers and the
Crown Prince are against the constitution but
the King himselfis well-disposed to give it, being
DESTROYS to attach his name to SO great conces-
sion to liberty. The entire people of Prussia
would receive any constitution that the King
might offer, with acclamations.
There is good reason to believe that the Prus-
sian government is earnestly pressing upon the
governments belonging to the zollverein, the ne
cessity Of making some very necessary reforms
in the tariffs, and of following the splendid ex-
ample ofEngland In all probability, shall, be-
fore long, have the pleasure of reporting to you
that some very important concessions to.ieedom
of commerce have been made. The north Of
Germany has already been greatly benefited by
the free-trade measures Of the English govern
ment, especially the extraordinary demand for
cattle.
The German Univrsal Gazette Of this 18th ult.,
publishes the following letter, dated Cracow,
April 8:-" We are assured that the fate Of our
city is at length decided the status quo is to be
maintained during year. At the expiration of
that period the civil power will not remain in the
hands Of the military authorities, but the Constitu-
ton Will be revised"
The news from Poland is Of very contradicto-
ry character. A letter from Lembreg, the capital
OF Austrian Galica, dated April 4 states that the
greater portion OF the bands of peasants who con-
buryI
sassinations were daily taking place. In the town
Of Syria, peasant, who had taken a very active
part in attacking the chateaux Of the mobiles, had
died OF his wounds, and was inferred with extra
ordinary pomp The public authorities, both
civil and military, attended, and military honors
were given-a circumstance so unusual and inn
proper, that it disguised not only the Poles but the
Germans, and especially the officers Of the army
Russia.
One Of our sardns has invented musical cleo
trio telegraph, by which sound, not signs, are
made the medium of communication. The Aca-
DENY has reported IN favor OF the invention.
The government has determined on making
great reductions in the Customs duties-oxperience
having demonstrated that such a measure is
always profitable to the treasury. 1t intends, Also
to negotiate new treaties of commerce with diffe-
rent nations, beginning with Prussia.
Sir Moses Montefiore, an English Jew, has OBJ
tanned from the Emperor notifications of some of
the uksses which weighed most cruelty and op-
pressivey upon the Russian and Polish Jews.
India.
Shortly after the dispatch Of the Cambria, on
the 18th ult., news from India was received.
Peace is restored in Punjaub. The British
forces are in possession of Lahore.
Arrangements were fast making for the occupa-
ton of the conquered country, which is exceed
ingly fertile, and will yield an annual revenue of
E4OO,OOO The chief town is Jullinder, with 49,
600 inhabitants; Phulloor, Pugwarra, and Sultan
pore are also of note.
The news from Scinde is not of remarkable in
terest Sir Charles Napier, having been fired at
on going up the river Sitlej, landed at Ooch, and
proceeded TO Bhawulpore.
The Nizam's dominions are in a state Of mex
tricaLle confusion!
The Governor of Bombay, Sir g. Arthur, has
had severe fit of illness, but was recovering.
