Lord John Russell informed the House of the
the government proposed to pursue in consequence
Of their defeat BY majority offourteen on the mo-
ton Of Mr.. Hume against the renewal Of the in
come tax for three years. His lordship said the
cabinet prepared to bow to the decision of tho
House, and to submit TO the appointment of select

Galgnani's Messsngsr, of May s, says that
while the Socialist: in many Of the departments
are creating alarm by their menaces and attempts
to disturb public tranquility, the partial elections
that are taking place in the councils general and
the municipal councils nearly all give large ma
iority 10 the party Of order.
From Paris we learn that the Attn of May the an
niversary of the Declaration Of the Republic had
passed off without the slightest attempt at disturb
ance. The weather was very unfavorable for the
great. The fireworks were . failure, in conse-
quence of the heavy rains. The intended Bona
partist banquet in the suburbs was prohibited by
the authorities; the festival also passed off in Lyons
quillity. Tho confusion Of parties was still very
great in the French capital, and the greatest un-
certainty prevailed to the probable solution of
the pending political questions.
Austria.
It is stated in some Of the German journals, says
Galignani's Messenger. hostile to the Austrian
perceptible in Hungary. A letter from vienna
states that the agitation 10 confined to the question
Of the tobacco monopolies. which encounters much
opposition; but otherwise the suppressing of the
late revolt has produced feeling Of attachment TO
santry, as it has relieved them from the tyranny
and exactions Of the Hungarian mobiles, many Of
whom had taken part in the instruction only in
the hope Of emancipating themselves from the con-
troll Of Austria, which was beginning to espouse the
cause of the productive classes. plcnary meet

vessels and l,966 passengers for New Orleans;

sells and 2S2 passengers for Galveston; and vessels
and 229 passengers for Philadelphia.
From Vienna it is stated that note had been
forwarded to Constantinople demanding the deten-
ton for two years longer of fourteen of the Hun
garian fugitives. Austria offers to bear the ex-
pense.
Reaction was in all its glory in Tuscany, and
the most stringent ordinances had been promul-
gated by the Grand Duke.
The later advices from Viennse and Berlin give
no clue to the probable termination of the Dresden
conferences; the prime ministers Of Austria and
Prussia were, however, to be present. The King
of Prussia had left Berlin for Schwerin. The
press law of Prussia, az amended by the debates
going on in the second chamber promised to be
equal to the sevcrest press laws in Europe.
From Spain the only news Of interest is that
Carlist conspiracy had been discovered in Cata-
lonia, and that seven persons had been arrested
and shot by the soldiers on the plea of their at
tempting to escape.
From Portugal we have important intelligence,
with accounts from Lisbon to the goth, and Oporto
to the Both ultimo. The telegraphic dispatches
ceived by way of Paris and Madrid, announcing
the instruction of the Oporto garrisons the
2sth April, are fully confirmed. No contest, how
ever took place. and but three lives were loat,
namely, two soldiers and Col. Cardozo, of the I'd
infantry, who was shot by his own men while try
ing to qucll the revolt. Marshal Saldanha entered
Oporto on the 9th ult., and was greeted with the
most enthusiastic reception by the entire city,
which turned out to meet him. The instruction
in his favor was spreading in all parts Of the king
dom. Everywhere the troops were unanimous for
his course, and were marching to him and joining
him from all points. The king had left Coimbra,
and was retreating upon Lisbon.
Most of the forces under his command having also
pronounced for the revolution, Immediately the
news Of the Oporto revolt was known at the capt.
tai. Count Thomar's ministry resigned, and the
