The elections for the new Spanish Cortes will
take place on the 10th Of May, and the Chambf
be convoked on the I'd of June The result is Ell
pected to be favorable TO Ministers. The Marqut
Of Mirafores is spoken Of as Minister for Foreigt
Affairs. The funds have risen at Madrid, unde.
an impression that the Ministry will ask the new
Chamber for bill to adjust the public debt.
PoRTUGAL furnishes, for once, stirring lncldens
of news in the shape of revolution, headed BY
SALDANHA who was, at the commencement OF the
movement, at the head Of about 5000 troops. The
Duke Of Saldanha has long been known to be az
direct hostility with his brother, Costa Cabra, the
Count de Thomar, and his revolutionary movement
is not so much directed against the Queen and
regning dynasty as against the unpopular Minister. :.
It is said that the Count de Antas and other chiefs
Of the Oporto junta have joined the Duke with all
their partisans. The King, with the Duke of Ter
ceira and 100 men, had started 10 occupy the i'm
pcrtant position Of Santarem; but Saldanha was
expected to get the place in his possession before
they could arrive. The Cor,es had adjourned un-
til the ID of June. The British squadron was still
in the Tagus, but would not interfere in the affair.
It is thought probable that the greater part OF the
troops out Of Lisbon will at once join the revoiu-
tionary chief. The fidelity Of the garrison Of Lis
bon, consisting Of 1000 men, is doubtful, and the
/ 200 Lisbon men taken by the King towards Sam
tarem than likely 10 60 over to the Duke Of
Saldanha's force. The affair may soon be brought
to close if the Queen does not abide by the Count
of Thomar, or if no considerable portion Of the
troops support the Government. The Count de
Thomar possesses no claim to the favorable con-
sideration of England, for he has constantly thrown
his influence over the Court in the direction most
opposed to her interests. Spain will remain neu-
trail in this strife. new French Minister adverse
to Thomar is on his way to Lisbon, and Lord Pal
merston has notified the Portuguese Charge d'Af-
fares that the next British representative at his
Court would be Sir William Parker and his feet.
1t might be that his lordship was only joking, but
il is said the Queen Of Portugal took the observa-
lion in earnest, and addressed letter 10 Queen
Victoria, demonstrating against Lord Palmerston's
threats to use power in compelling settlement Of
The long pending English claims. The Count de
Thomar has also quarrelled with the Pope's Nun
clio. In fact, the entire Corps Diplomaiique pre-
,ents a hostile attitude towards the unfortunate
\fsrsoto and n
