~ Our correspondents will perceive the necessity which
only defer their svors bot surrender
also the space usually allotted TO editorial matter.
IL will be perceived that Cen Scott making prompt

lion 10 the small of Avarado the coast the occupa-

part OF the campaign, had successfully resisted
efforts made by squadron to capture it, He intends

The business in Parliament since the sailing
Of the Cambria, possess but little interest, and
the session will be wound up as speedily as prac'
ticabe, and to prepare for the dissolution, which
will take place in June or July. There is no pc
riod in the history Of the British Governmen
where there has been so little party excitement
or so much harmony between the greast men anC
prominent parties of the country as al present
The internal distress of the country, occaslone(
! by the famine in Ireland and Scotland, has beer
the principal cause of this.
From PoRTUGAL.-The Revolution in Portu
gal is approaching crisis, and fears have beer
entertained for the person of the Queen. He
life has been threatened, and in order TO breal
down those connected with the Government, anC
upholding the Queens party, there are these who
are ready to take it. Even at Lisbon her Maes
ty has enemies, which makes her presence un
safe in the Capitol, and revolution will be at
temptedin the very face of the Palace. The pro
lection Of the British Government has been ur
gently solicited to quell the revolution and TO re-
store order. The collision so far has been be-
tween the Juntas and the Insurgents, and it il
