his whole strength lies In the weakness Of the
various factions opposed to the cabinet. The more
disunited the opposition, the more consolidated

neither look for modification Of the latter, or the
desperation of the former by a summary dissolution
Of the Cortes.
Portugal presents no feature of interest. Her
finances are in " fix Though the Minister OF
Finance declared there would be no bankruptcy or
reputation. He will probably neglect to pay the
government officers snll longer, some Of whom
have lived on hope and their situations alone for
eighteen months. We see nothing In regard to our

Austria is, also, in as sad plight for money as
our own administration. The municipal diets

they poor additions to the liberty craved by the
people.
The other parts Of Europe present few subjects
worthy Of remark. The presence of the French
feet and the British squadron in the Bay of Ourlac
has amounted to nothing, and they have sailed out
of it precisely as they went In. The Poles imph-
Gated In the Hungarian war are to be expelled from
Turkey, and the Hungarian refugees are to be con-
fined in the town Of Koniah, in Asia Minor. The
official relations with the Porte have been resumed

THE SLAVERY QUEsrIoN-PUBLIC MEETING.
We perceive that the General Democratic Com
mittee have called a meeting of the democratic
republican electors of New York, at Tammany
Hail. on Saturday evening next, for the purpose Of
taking counsel the present crisis of the country,
and to adopt such measures as may tend 10 pre-
serve to them and to their posterity the blessings
of this great and glorious Union.
This is capital movement, and we hope that
the example OF the democrats will be followed by
the wings, too We should like to see mass
meeting of men of all parties, also, called In the
Park, some other suitable place -one that would
embrace men of every shade of parties, who are
averse to continuing an agitation that is leading
to a disruption of this great confederacy. The
small potato politicians Of every party and of every
section of the country, have proceeded far enough
in this matter. They have had 1t In their hands
long enough, and 1t is full time that it should be
taken from them. There is but one sentiment at
the North respecting the Union, and that Is, that
come what may, 1t must and shall be preserved.
Now is the time TO let the few reckless agitators
and disunionists in New York and New England
know that the great mass of the people will not
countenance any scheme which has tendency to
jeopardize the beautiful fabric of government.
