Sueeh vi rortugal Wnlch TOOK place this evening at
O'clock has plunged the capital into grief and ex-
presslons of unfeigned sympathy and regret are
heard everywhere; in the streets and coffee houses
nothing else is talked of, for the Young Queen by
the simplicity OF her manners her unobtrusive pie
", and her great charity had won the hearts of all


classes, from the noble to the cottager We all re-
member how she passed along the streets but twelve
months ago, blooming bride; how her gentle and
winning ways Immediately gained for her the affec-
tons OF the people, and softened and altered the
gloomy and moody habits of the King. The Queens
illness commenced on Monday last when her Ma
Jesty accompanied the King to Vendas Novas to
inspect the proving of new rifed cannon. The day
was burning hot, and on the sands there was a


htle or nc shade. Shortly after returning home her


Majesty complained of ndisposition, which at
hrst was considered to be the result of slight sun
stroke, but which at last recognized as dip
iberia The fatal disease its course despite the
able attendance of Dr. Gomez and the Baron
de Silva, who tried every means known to
the medical art to save the royal sufferer Yester-
day morning, believe, dangerous SYMPTOMS set


IN, and slight modification appeared in the throat


At this Juncture, DR.. Simas, of the Misericorda


who has high reputation for the treatment of this
class OF complaints, was called in, but he at once
gave up the case as hopeless. Towards evening it
became known about the Palace, and was reported
out OF doors, that the Queen could not escape As
last resource, however, an operation commonly
had recourse to in desperate cases was performed


on the throat by the eminent surgeon Barboza: but
1t was all OF no avail and shortly after p NJ the
Queen expired. The confessor of her Majesty the


Rev. Joseph Ilsley, President of the English Col
lege, was in attendance, and administered the com
solations of religion and the last rites of the
Church. The bed was surrounded by the sorrow
ing Hing and the royal family to all of whom the


queen had endeared herself much as if her rela-
uonship with them had been lifelong Sorrow is


universal, and the English Court will mourn for


the the royal lady whose grace and beauty won the
admiration of all the parties in her honor before
she came to this country"


ANOTHER SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR
The Wonlte1tr of the 22d contains the fnloUincr
announcement:


"The Emperor Yesterday received the diplomatic
corps: The Papal Nuncio speaking in the name of
the diplomatic corps, offered the Emperor the earn
est and sincere congratulations of his happy return
and on his resolution to conclude peace'


The Emperor in reply said:


Europe was in general so unjust to me at the
beginning of the war, that | was happy to be en-
aoled to conclude peace soon as the honor and
the interests of France satisfied and to prove
that 1t could never have been my intention to sub
vert Europe and to provoke a general war [ hone
to-day that all reason for distrust will disappear
and that the peace will be of long duration thank
the diplomatic corps for their congratulations


THE ADDRESSES To THE EMPEROR.


The following are transatons of the addresses to
the Emperor Napole leon, made by the great officers
of state.


His Excellency NJ Troplong, President of the
Senate, addressed the Emperor in the following
words:


Sire: Had your Majesty consulting only the
superiority of your arms, allowed the war to 90 on
public opinion in France, and perhaps in Europe


is that nothing could have stopped your irresistible
advance, and that Magenta and Solferno would
have been followed up by new trophies WHY
then, did the Emperor stop the apex of fortune?


\ our Majesty has said it, The interests of France


which counseIled war, now counsel peace, and to
carry on the struggle beyond the present limits
would be to go beyond the legitimate cause of our
intervention. Sire, France has understood those
noble words; she has recognized therein your de-
voton to her as well as your great foresight in pre-
sence OF untounded jeaousies and wild pretensions
OF reVolutlOnary passions. Having followed you
on the field OF battle, she approves YOU and ad-
mlres you in this heroic moderation, which is the
characteristic of great men.


"When Scipio vanqushed Hannibal at Zama he
might have destroyed Carthage. He did not wish
1t, though he had bound himself to overthrow the
Carthagenian power. As prudent politician as he
was an able general, he was aware that to cause
too much loss to enemy is often to incur too


much loss to oneself. Let u.s. then enjoy this olo-
rious peace the fruit of war which, in two months
has made Piedmont free, and torn away Lombardy
from lts powerful master. Let us congratulate the
Emperor while our triumphal acclamations are
awaiting the return of nvincible soldiers
France henceforth feels herself more free in her
external action. more powerful by her arms, and
more respected by the firm wisdom of her govern
ment. If the Italian campaign throws upon her
the bright light of the great days of the first EN-


pire, the peace of Villafranca is a sure guaranty


that she will only see the prosperity thereof"
Count de MOiny, President of the legislative


body, then spoke as follows


''Sire: In three months what predictions facts
War was declared and we had not one man in
Italy. Austria had powerful army there in for


midable and well-studied positions; her overwhelm-
ing influence weighed heavily on all Italian gov
ernments. few days afterwards five successive
victories added the most glorious page to our mill
tary history, and the political object you had in
view was attained. But the noblest victory of all
is the victory you have obtained over Yourself In
the burst of triumph you have shown yourself
generous enemy, we'll as faithful and dsinter-
ested ally; surrounded by victorious and ardent
warriors, you only thought of sparing their pre-


cious blood; you have given true liberty to Italy,
delivering her from despotism, and forbiddng
revolutionary proceedings; finally, with that won
derful tact which characterizes you you have gone
as far as the honor of France exacted and not be
yond her interests. Sire, your absence was trial
for the country which the noble position taken by
the Empress rendered easy, and which gave it the
opportunity Ofshowing its confidence in YOU and its
attachment to your dynasty. | am sure sire, that
in expressing these sentiments am the interpreter
of the legislative body


His Exceency NJ. Baroche President of the
Council of State, spoke as follows:


''Sire Your Council of State eagerly shares
with profound devotion, the sentiments lust cx-
pressed to your Majesty in the name of the Senate
and Legislative body. After having, like all France
and the whole of Europe-admred during so
glorious the skill Of the great captain and
the heroism of his soldiers we have not the less ad
mired, we have admired still more the moderation
full of wisdom, which in the hour OF triumph knew
how to stop when the interests well the feel
ing of France might have had to suffer from the
character and development which the war might
have assumed God be praised for bringing you
back safe and sound, covered with new glory, to
this France Of which you the saviour and the
hopes to that Spouse whose firm courage and intel
lect we have witnessed during your ABSENCE and to


that noble child who already learns to thank heaven
for the triumphs of his father"


The Woniteur says that these speeches were loudly
applauded


p IT


A Turin letter of the 10Th July, in the London


Times says "A letter from Bologna describes the
impression made by the '.Napeleonic despatch" as
''immense and TERRIBLE" 1t is there interpreted
(nOt unnaturally) as the triumph of Austria and
the Pope Austria being able SAYS the writer, from
the open doors of her empire to introduce anew her
battalions. Aided by the Pope and by Naples, she
will be within three years the sole master in italy,


The general indignation is indescrbable. The VOL
unteers who marching upon Rmini are now
5000 strong; from here have set out other II 900
men, between those of Mezzocap and other corps;
we hope that to will unite themselves all the
patriots who have fought and shed their blood on
Lombard plains, and we alone, with the cry of
'Eriva the valiant King Fittorio Emanuee,' we
will beat the Swiss hordes and keep alive that war
which it was sought to terminate with the triumph
of clerical despotism"


This is pretty plain speaking, and, fdeeds CORES
pond with words which is not always the case in Italy


1t IS clear that there is great deal of trouble to
come, and that the settlement of Italy the Villa
franca bases is not to be accomplished without
force of foreign arms. Or, are we to suppose that
the convention of Vilafranca will undergo consid-
cradle modification when it comes to be discus sed
and extended into regular treaty by the three
powers concerned? There seems to be little doubt
that the King, while willingly acquescing to a GER
tain extent in the ngement which his ally had


made without consulting him, positively refused to
form part of a confederation of which the Pope
should be President and Austria and Naples mem
bers. The Emperor is said to have put him off with
vague assurance that the point in question
should be arranged in a manner to content him. 4
letter from Paris says that the French papers have
been desired to confne themselves to the expression
"preliminaries of peace" when they have occasion
to speak of the Villaranca stipuatOns. If this


be true, it shows of the general unpopularity
of that convention, and possibly intention of
important notifications in sense favorable to


Italy. But how is Austria to be got to consent to
| these?


The brief agreement concluded by the two En-


perOrs, and of which each retains copy signed by
! the other (while third copy was sent to Victor
! Emanuel, after they had decided the matter with


out admitting him to their courcs), can hardly,
! one would think, be departed from to so important
| extent as would be requsite-I will not say to
! satisfy, but temporarily to appease the excited
! Italian populations. If the programme laid down
| be such as has in substance been communicated to


the world, it seems most improbable that it can be
carried out without the interference of foreign


troops in Central Italy. fit be positively and r-


revocably decided that neither French nor Aus


trian soldiers to operate in the countries south


of the Po-in Parma, Modena, Tuscany and the

manned here longer and carried their conquests fur
