British Intervention i'm the Affairs
Of Portugal,

The latest information from Lisbon does
not induce US to modify the opinion we
expressed, asto the extent ofthe interveH.
ton Of the British forces. We have still
undiminished reason to believe that Sir
Hamilton Seymour and Admiral Parker
have consented tha, the Marines should
be landed from the British ships of war
now in the Tagus, upon . representation
Of Count TOTAL that the personal security
Of tho Queen was in danger, and that tho
Ministry could not answer for tho tran.
guilty Of the capital; but the Intervention
Of these troops will be strictly confined to
the protection Of her Majes.y's person and
Of British subjects and property in
Lisbon. For we spprehend that the
amount Of the disposable British force at
Lisbon is not more than sufficient to effect
these objects, and would probably be in
adequate TO give law to the victorious
Junta, or to quell the tumult Of the whole
city on the verge of instruction. Nor do
we believe that the British Government
has ever contemplated or consented to any
interference beyond that which is requir-
ed for the attainment Of the objects we
have specified.
The provinces of Algarve and the AL.
temejo are completely in the hands Of the
insurgents; and when the Condo del Mello
has effected his junction with Sada Ban
deira their forces will amount to 5000
men. who will advance at once to the Ia
gus, and may even cross il without much
difficulty, and march TO Lisbon.
The state Of the capital is frightful.-
The price of,provisions has risen to an ex-
cessive height, and wheat has been sold
for l47s. a quarter. Every species of food
is scarce, and large part Of the popula-
ton is reduced to beggary. The currency
is deprecated IS per cent, and the Trea-
sury is exhausted. In short, every thing
indicates the probability Of disturbance
in Lisbon itself, which may reduce the
Queen TO take refuge on board British
man. of. war.

u The National Era, the Washineto

u The National Era, tho Washington
organ Of the Liberty party, thus places
Taylor and Corwin in strong contrast, and
those who wish to place the two on the
same Presidential ticket, in a most ridic-
ulous attitude. We copy the article entire
"Serving 7Uo Masters. Wings are
greatly distracted in their councils. A
very influential portion Of them is inclined
to profit by the present popular enthusi-
asm, and secure the nomination of Gen.
Taylor. Another class, more disposed to
regard conscience and consistency, can see
no propriety in such movement. Others
again, regulating the maxim of Holy
Writ--'no man can serve two masters
fondly imagine that they can reconcile all
differences, harmonic the glory men and
the conscience men, take double hitch,
a. it were, upon the public mind, by put.
ting up Taylor for the Presidency and
Corwin for the Vice Presidency. Corwin
is in favor Of withdraw wing our armies from
Mexican territory; Taylor is the chosen
instrument for leading them onward into
the very heart Of Mexico. Taylor gains
victories, and Corwin bewails them. Tay-
lor has done all he could to make the war
'glorious;' Corwin has done all he could to
make it infamous. Taylor is slavehold-
er; Corwin hates slavery, and would re-
joice, at any time, to see the slaves Of the
former running for their liberty.
but what of all this? IL it not wise
to become all things to all men, that we
may gain some? Wen put up Taylor
that will prove our patriotism and fidelity
to slavery; we'll pu, up Corwin-that will
show our philan,hrophy and fidelity to
freedom. We will serve two masters, and
SO secure double wages. What q spec.
tacle!"

The New York Tribune, which refuses
to support TAYLOR at present, denies that
the march of eur army to the Rio Grande
was the cause Of the war; but the TAY.
Los journals denounce the march,
which he urged for months before it was
permitted, is the real origin Of an "unho.
", unjust and Ubiquitous war" How very
complimentary to TAYLOR are his Wing
friends, and how sincerely do they honor

duties and responsibilities that rest upon
him - Commander Of the Army Of Occu-
patton"
The Phil. N. A., speaking of the refus.
ii Of the administration to place Scott, in
command over Taylor, said:
The war ID now the cause Of the coun-
try, not Of faction and the effort TO be-
tray and degrade the army through its
CHIEF, in order to subserve unworthy pc.
litical purposes, must meet with universal
reprobation."
The Boston Courier, Mr.. Webster's
organ, exclaims:
Away with this nonsense about Ma
tion's gratitude being due to Gen. Tay-
lor."
Of the language held out in regard to
the troop. under Taylor, the following
words Of BLoss, the peculiar friend and
representative Of the Journal, in the leg
islature last year, will serve a. a specimen:
"He thought that the first recruits to 20

feelings were with slavery-men who

not fall martyrs in a more appropriate
cause"
II these citations are insufficient, and,
We could easily multiply them, we ask the
Journal what it thinks Of the action Of the
Massachusetts, Senate, on Friday last, on
this very subject. We copy from the Bos-
ton Times which says truly that the re-
suit "is disgrace not only to those who
opposed the vote, but the whole State"
"RErusAL OF THANKS TO GEN. TAY.
Loa.--The following order, submitted
yerterday by Mr.. Boutwell, of Groton,
was taken up this morning:
Ordered, That the committee on mill
tia, on the part Of this House, be ins.ruc-
ted to report series of resolutions Of the
purport following: .
LIST. That the thanks o! the Legislature
Of Massachusetts are due to the Major
General Zachary Taylor, his officers and
men, for the skill. good conduct, bravery
and success, which have distinguished
their operations upon the Rio Grande, at
Monterey, and At Buena Vista.
I'd. That while the people and Legisla-
ture Of Massachusetts view with pride
tho brilliant achievements of the army en-
ployed in the war against Mexico, they
mourn the loss of those officers and men
who have fallen upon the battle field, and
sincerely sympathise with their relatives
and friends.
Sd. That his excellency the Governor
be requested 10 transmit . copy of these
resolves to Gen. Taylor, to be by him
communicated to the army under his COM
mand."
The yeas and nays were ordered upon
these instruction, and the order rejected by
vote of IS to IA.
We have quoted only from the papers
lying on our desk, but search into the
columns Of the wing press would show,
that most Of their journals have been a.
reckless in casting obloquy upon our troops
and their commanders, a. they now are
fawning and subservient.

The Spring Flowers.
The Spring Flowers are peeping
From hedge, bank, and brake;
OIL God, what wild weeping
Those flowers would awake,
fgrief could be cherished
mid Famine and Pain,
For the dear ones who persisted
By the doomed who remain!
The kindly Spring weather
With balm once beguiled
To the hedge-row together
The Primrose and child;
But the clay is now crushing
The Child in the tomb!
And the Primrose is hlushing!-
But blushing for vhom2
And the Violet once lifted
Its blue eyes 70 greet
Young eyes that were gifted
With azure as sweet;
But sealed in their lashes,
Past Aprips deep power,
Those blue eyes are ashes!-
Why bloometh the floweri
For careless and callous
As grey-bearded men,
OF the crows beechen palace,
Or moss hut Of the wren
Of the fair flowers waving
By wayside and wood,
Shrunk children are craving
Food-nothing but food!
For mother-for father
No wall to the sky,
The orphan must gather
Some garbage, or die!
The famine-hend blighted
The chaplets Of love,
And vulture has lighted
Where nestled the dove.
Oh command US not Heaven.
For future Of bliss,
That the foes be forgiven
Who crushed US to this!
Though angels are beckoning,
How could we forgive?
A day of dark reckoning
Must come-if we live! JDrJr.r
