jit Due Fetskm , —As it has been the invariable practice of all parties to keepyou in profound ignorj ^ ce of the value of the Land , and of the mode of Inquiring it , I feel convinced that every incident , ero i tlie . " moat" . ttifiing ; . isiil be of interest to yon . possession of the Land of this country has been long associated with an undefined superiority . The man who had £ 100 a-year derived from Land considered JiiiBSel f vastly superior to the man -who derived £ 500 a- year front trade , , A landed or read y money qualification alone entitles Squires to shoot , a landed
qualification alone qualifies members to sit m Parliament . For instance , a man may have ten millions of money and not be qualified to ait in Parliament for county or borough . To represent a ~ county he must be qualified with / 4600 a-year derived from Land : to represent a borough , £ -300 a-year derived from the same source—in short , the term , 'landed proprietor , has always carried with it the notion of class distinction , while the law of primogeniture , of settlement and entail , has precluded the possibility « f the working elasses baying , or even renting , as much Land as they could compass capital to cultivate .
In 1835 , when I opened a commission from the great Radical Association of Marylebone , at Stock port , and throughout my several subsequent tours ' I shewed Ton very clearly that , in less than two years you might pnrchase as mnch Land as would be an equivalent for the tithes of the country—that , in five years , you might purchase as much as represented the interest of the National Debt—and in twenty years yOBMgh . tpuTCh . asealltb . eLandofthecountry—apon the principle of Co-operation . Since then , I have pointed outtoyoutiiataUfteproperties , made by canal companies , insurance companies , railway companies , and joint stock companies of erery description ,
were all made upon theprincipleof co-operation . Now I irill lay down a simple iact for yon , one strictly analagous to the land plan that I am now so prosperously progressinsr -with . In 1835 it used to cost me for coachmen , guards , and living on the road , about £ 6103 . to go to Manchester in twenty hours , with my legs cramped np to my chin , and unfitted for active business for twenty-four hoars . I can now go to Manchester with comfort in thirteen hours for £ 1 , living included , and can go from the train to a public meeting . Now , noone man could have effected this re daction , nor could all the coach proprietors in the king dom , of themselves , have made a road to Manchester
This has been all done by co-operation . So precisely with Labour and the Land : even 100 of you co-• operating could not have withstood the legal ex * pence of making out title , and transfering the pro perty , and performing such other requisites , nor , wereyouableto purchase it , could you have sufficiently assisted each other to insure ultimate success . I have so far succeeded , however , in taking the veil from youreyes'as to have convinced thousands and tens of thousands of persons , not only of the capabilities of the soil , but of the people ' s ability to possess themselves of it . Believe me , that this was no easr task , and one in the accomplishment of which I
was rare to meet with the hostility of the press , the opposition of those whs live upon labour , and last , not least , those who thrive by mouthing labour ' s wrongs ana preserving labour ' s sorrows , that they may fatten upon its misfortunes . They hoped that your ignorance of the science of Agriculture , and of the value ef Land , would make yon easy believers in their ravinga . They never told you that their own opposition , in part , sprang from their ignorance of the subject , and that a want of knowledge of it would render agitation an unprofitable trade . I Bhall shortly , however , be in a situation to pnt a few
awkward qnestions to the several philanthropists who , eotenjporaneously with myself , proposed to build houses for you , and otherwise to relieve yon from a portion of your sufferings . I shall resort to my old plan npoB such occasions , and shall ask those gentlemen for THEIR BALANCE SHEETS . I shall ask them to show me what has really been done in the process of emancipation ? And before they answer me I shall be able to point to not less than 500 Acres , not of barren Land , but of the best description of Land , purchased within LESS THAN OXE YEAR since your Association could be said to be ^ itahlUhed .
Every public man who really desires to better the condition of the working classes , will always court the fullest and mo 3 t searching inquiry into every < jne of his actions . In fact , the very life of our society is INTEGRITY . I would much rather be cheated out of £ 500 ot the society's money by being taken advantage ofin a speculation , than that one of its most insignificant officers , should be a defaulter to the amount of sixpence . And , besides all pecuniary con * siderations , there must be confidence in the ability . as well as in the intentions of those who undertake the management of so gigantic a scheme . In order then to establish that confidence In me , it was necessary that men from different parts of the coustry should see and judgefor themselves , between the
anticipations and forebodings of my enemies , and the real thing itself . This opportunity has now been extensively afforded . Hundreds of persons , from all parts of England—Manchester , Liverpool , Leeds , Nottingham , Northampton , London , Essex , and in -feet from all parts , have visited the Chartist Estate ; and the plain blunt truth is , that they would scarcely believe it possible that such a paradise could fall to the lot of their order . It gave me extreme pleasure to escort these parties , so interested in the undertaking , overlabours first purchase ; and the many times they shook my Tiand and implored blessiBgs upon me , and turned up their eyes in wonder , more than repaid me for all the trouble that I hare taken for thorn . Some matters of minor detail appear to -stasreer some of our distant friends , who will not
believe that cows afar eff always have long horns , and who were sceptical about my cow , though she has no horns stall . I showed my cow to every one , as I take great pride in her , especially as I have made her so tame that she will come up to me in the middle of the field and put up her head to have it scratched . One of our members from Nottingham ( HanMns ) who has five cows of his own , visited me on Tuesday ; he will tell the people in his district
whether or no I overrated the cow . He said , that he never saw snch a cow in his life—that he recently bought one himself that gave T WENTI-blX quarts a-day—he offered to pay me down the money I gave for her , although I sold the calf for 4 os ., and to leave me the use of her for two months . Now all that I shall say of my cow is , that all -who don't believe in her let them come and see her , and jud « e for themselves .
I shall now direct your attention to what to yon is of the greatest importance , namely , the knowledge as to how money is made of labour . I have shown you many a time that the man who employs a thousand operatives , and who reduces their wages by two pence a day each , makes £ 2 , 030 a year by this filching alone . I will now show yon how a farmer can make his money , though , more creditably , just by attending to his men . A farmer who employs twenty men , and stands ever them , can always , independently of his fair profit on labour , make £ 62 G a year as a bailiff , thus—Every labourer who works under the eye of a master will return that master 2 s .
a day over and above the legitimate profit upon the other two shillings a day . That is , the twenty men scientifically put to work will do more work in three days than twenty men left to themselves will do in a week , just as twenty well officered men will beat forty who are badly officered . This is a subject which lam most particular in keeping for ever in your view , because in the case of our occupants , every soldier is [ an officer ; every man works task work , but it is for himself , and he will take care not to go beyond his strength . As to the buildings , some of the shareholders have seen the materials , and when
the ; saw the seasoned old oak for window and doorframes , and the strong pannelled doors of the best deal , their observation was , "Eh ! but that ' s rare staff . " If o w let me show yon what co-operation can effect . Lady Bentley , who professes to be a great philanthropist , has built some cottages for the pour in toe neighbourhood of flerringsgate : each cottage consists of two rooms , a kitchen and a room above it , and in order to MAKE THE POOR COMFORTABLE , her philanthropic ladyship lets them at a rent of 2 s . fid . a week each , or £ 610 s . by the year , withont a morsel of ground , and without the £ 15 , the £ 2310 s ., or the £ 30 , and even without

the certainty « f remaining in beyond her ladyship ' s pleasure . This subject is so new , and the advantages » f the plan so break upon me as I proceed , that I must keep it eternally before you . I can refer to ail my speeches upon the subject and so can you , and you must bear in mind that I have told you that I did not want you to go in carriages or even to rifle— -that I didn't want you to be idle a day in the year , except when you were not able to work ; but that what I did want was to . make you independent of all casualties , uncertainties , and markets , and to m « fc c yon independent of the ^ influence Of capital , the
GRINDING EFFECT S OF MACHINERY , and the caprice of masters . What I did want was to see yon with yenr families comfortable and independent about you , never wanting a day ' s meal or good clothing , able to give every one of your children a gocd education , to see you independent of ' parish re , lief , and to find you every day in the year with more money In your pocket than woaid be demanded to meet any casualty , calamity , or uncertainty . Well , I assert withont . the . fear of contradiction , that I have done that , and more than that—that I have placed every shareholder and his family Jn *' a situation to eat , if they can , every particle that grows upon two , three , or four acres of grouHd , while their spare labour , sold at the
lowest rate , will always fetch more' than will pay the rent . Nay more , I now assert , ia the teeth of tbe enemy , that in Ies 3 than five years from the day each man is located , he will be enabled to purchase his allotment for ever , while , besides that , the land will be worth £ 2 an acre more than when he gets possession , as every inch of it will be like a market garden within that * time . I am determined to put this question before you in every shape and form . A man gets four acres of land , say worth a pound an acre ; in five years that man will have lived npon it , and have saved as much as will purchase it , and at the end of the five years it will be worth £ 2 an acre more than his rent , that is £ 8 a year , which , at 25 years purchase , is £ 200 , which he will have earned , besides living and purchasing his land within the five
years . - . . Now , I defy any man living to controvert this as . sertion ; or I defy any located member , unless he is an idle vagabond , to want a day's meal . Let mo now suppose a man to be in the lowest state , and to be copartner with a breeding sow , and never to devote his time to working off his farm , and his family never to earn a shilling , and that their whole labour is devoted to the maintenance of themselves and the
sow ; and suppose that sow only to have pigs once a-year , and sis pigs . at each litter , and that the young ones are sold when they are worth 25 s . each , this partner of the pig has £ 3 a-year over and above the rent of his house and land—in short , there is no possible way by which the weakest man can apply his labonr to two acres ef ground , " that the produce will not pay the rent and produce double as much as his family can consume .
Tno houses of the ^ emancipated paupers are now proudly rearing their heads as a sample of what cooperation , energy , aud integrity can do . The estate appears covered with industry ; and besides the future blessings that it will bestow upon its owners , it is refreshing the whole parish with the expenditure of the Society's funds . It would be impossible to describe the difference of the appearance either in the estate or myself , from week to week . M'Grath and Doyle are zealously and manfully aiding in the good work , and are , I assure you , fully earning their wage by saving it , and more , to the Society . I hope , while Clarke and Wheeler are performing cabinet business soon to be in a situation to make a eommencementfor Section No , 2 ; and now Ishall conclude with an anecdote that will make you laugh . On Monday
last I was superintending the catting down of some underwood . I was sitting on the stump of a tree in the Shade , when an Irishman with a bundle on his back accosted me , and the following dialogue took place : — Well , my good fellow , what ' s the matter ? I ' m come to see if your honor will give me a job . I have no job for you Tbi afraid : -what have you been working at ! Wisha ! I was a soger . Were you discharged i I was . Did tney give you anjthing ? Wisha ! they did . How much , and when were you discharged ? ,- ^ ~~ ^ About nine months ago , and they gave me two / months *
pay . <»_ — Well , and have you spent it all ? Oh ' . then , and indeed I have . -What , spent it all in nine months , and ow want a jtt >* Ah , then , wheretheaevflistheiiseoftalkingthatway ? Share you knows that there ' s fools as well as wise men in the world , aud I ' m oae of them . Well , I am very sorry , but I haven't a job for yon . Wisha ! its bad enough , may be you'd have something to give me agin the road ? Indeed I have not , Go to Ms lordship , ana ask him to give yon something . [ Doyle was his lordship . J Who the devil is he ! lordTorriagton . Presently my friend returned , and the dialogue was resumed as follows : —
Well , what did he say f By J s ! but he is a poor Lord , he says he has no money . Go to him again , and tell him that there ' s no compassion in this country for a poor Irishman , if he happens to be a Tory and a Protectionist . Well , what does his lordship say ! He said he never interfered in money matters , but to come to you , and that he left it all to you . WeJJj but you know I ' m but a working man myself . A working man is it , by J—sbut you ' re got a fine easy job of it , if you call that working .
New , my friends , requesting that no one will recommend parties to leave their homes on the chance of getting work , and that all visitors will REMEMBER TO PAT FOR THEIR MILK , I remain your faithful friend and bailiff , Fkarous O'Connor .

HOUSE OF LORDS . — Tjwrsdat , Mxy 28 . After the presentation of a number of petitions for and against the Corn Bill ,
THE ADJOURNED DEBATE was opened by Lord Gbet , who , at wearisome length , advocated the necessity of a total repeal of the Corn Laws . He would prefer an immediate repeal , but as he could not attempt to obtain that without endangering the Bill , he would rest satisfied with what was offered by the Government . The advocates of the measure were menaced with a dilemma respecting prices under this bill . " If there be no great diminution of the price of corn , " they said , "in whatconsists the advantage of the measure V He ( Earl Grey ) did net expect a great fall of prices , ' he did not expect that the weekly average price of wheat would be so low as 36 s . a quarter , as it was in December , 1835 ; nor that it would be so high as 81 s . 6 d ., as it was m January , 1839 ; what he did expect was , a greater steadiness of moderate prices ; that the average pwee
would be lower , but not greatly lower , than it had been during the last twelve years , " and that prices would fluctuate within much narrower limits . The result would be beneficial to the British grower of corn , especially by causing an immensely increased consumption of corn , and improvements in farming . Higher farming implied the employment of more hands ; and he believed there was not a sing le farm in England upon which the same or a greater number of men might not be employed with a greater demand for agricultural produce . Nor did he expect , in the circumstances of this country , a fall of rents . Eari Grey favoured thehousejwith a highly flattering and very florid portrait of Mr . Cobdcn ^ whom he introduced to their Lordships as their greatest patron and benefactor , and as a person singularly friendly to the maintenance of the Peerage .
Lord AsunuRioji gave his unqualified opposition to the measure . The Noble Lord reviewed the question in its commercial bearings , and showed that , under the experiment which had already been tried , our shipping had decreased , whilst the shipping of foreigners had greatly increased . The parochial

' . ; After a smart csntest for nreefitS * W ' ! .
Ihe Earl qfs ; Ewix spoke ia favour of the m avowing » change in former opinion * . He thougfe * that the farmers of tins country , wouli find their interest consist in moderate prices , and abundant' produce , obtained by the judicious applicatien of capital , andaoandoningantl quatedprejudices . , Ihe'Earl of Egunt ' os opposed the b 9 L . He asserted that this measure would be productive of ruin to the farmers and farm labourers ef Scotland . He implored their lordships to compel an appeal to the countrv . . '" " . "
F ..- Lord Beaumont , energetically advocated tfisr cause of Protection . ' ,.. ;' ,,. - ,-. , ,. ' . ; ' .. '' ¦ The Earl of DiMoosis supported the bill . He argued at great length that the principle of protection was unsound in itself , unjust to the consumer , and without benefit to . , theproducer ; and that the relaxations' which had been ; trifed had resulted in large and palpable improvements in all the trades which-these relaxations touched . With a brief answer to the objections of Lord Stanley , upon < he subject of Canada , and a calm but firm and spirited defence of the members of the government against the charge of treachery , the noble earl appealed to the prudence and justice of their lordships , not lightly , or without sufficient ground , and without closely searching their own hearts , to reject a measure of snch vast importance .
The Duke of Beaufort opposed the bill , and instanced a part of his own property , on which , should this measure pass , tenants who , with their ancestors , had occcupied farms under him and his ancestors for 400 years , would be reduced to the condition of labourers , unless he rejected the rules of political economy , and stood between them and ruin . He would do so ; for , exclaimed his grace , " I feel prouder of this tenantry than of all my other ancestral honour . ' , and even iny seat in your Lordships' house . " TheDukeof Wellington confessed that he laboured under peculiar disadvantage in appearing as a Minister of tbe Crown to recommend this Bill , knowing , as he did , that it was most disagreeable to all with whom
he had been in the habit of acting . But the course he had taken he would again take tomorrow , under similar circumstances . He was in her Majesty ' s service , and his idea of dutv would not hare permitted him to adopt any other conduct on this question than that he had pursued . The Noble Duke concluded by saying that his advice , perhaps the last he would ever give to their Lordships , was to pass this Bill , and avoid a disagreement with the other members of the legislature . As for an appeal to the country , their Lordships might surely wait for the termination of the present House of Commons , where they would have the power of re-considering the question , as a total repeal could not take place before three years .
Their Lordships divided at half-past four o ' clock Friday morning , when there were , for the second reading—Contents 138 Proxies .. 73—211 Non-conteots 126 Non-proxies 38—164 Majority in favour of the Bill ... 47 Their Lordships then fixed the Committee on the Bill for the 11 th June , and adjourned the House to next Thursday . HOUSE OF COMMONS , TnunsnAT , Mat 28 . Mr . S . Crawford gave notice , that on Thursday , June 11 , he would move for a select committee to inquire into the allegations of the Rochdale petitions as they affect the local magistrates and the rural police .
THE ANDOVER / ONION . Losn Courtenat moved that the select committee nn the Andover _ Uninn . hayeJea . ve .-ti » *•?• - ' *^ o minutes of evidence taken oefore them from tune to time . After a discussioH in which Mr . Wakibt , Captain P £ CHEix , and Mr . Etwau . supported the motion , and Sir J . Graham , Mr . Parkimgton , and Mr . T . DuscoMBtt , opposed it , the housedivided : — For the motion ...... 16 Against it 81 Majority against the motion 65 The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the house adjourned at twenty minutes to eight o'clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — Friday , May 29 .
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE-PROGRESS OF GOVERNMENT MEASURES . Sir R . Peel . —Sir , pursuant to the notice I have given , I beg leave to move that the house at its rising do adjourn until Friday next , and I shall avail myself of this opportunity to state what is the business which we propose oa the part of the government to bring forward alter tbe Whitsuntide recess . If the house adopt the proposition I now submit for their consideration , we shall meet again on Friday , the ath of June . I intend proposing on that day to proceed with the Committee of Supply , and on the Monday following , that is , the eighth day of June , 1 mean to move the second reading of the Irish Bill for the prevention of assassination . I would have moved the second reading of the Irish Life
and Property Protection Measure on Friday , the 5 th of June , but I understand that some of the Irish members have gone over to Ireland , and deem it inconvenient to move the second reading at so early a period . Therefore , Sir , I give notice that on Monday , the 8 th of June , the Irish Bill for the Prevention of Assassination and the Protection of Properfcy be read a second time . Then on the r nday following , the 12 th of June , I shall propose , on the part of Government a motion relating to the sugar duties , and if the debate arising on the motion should be adjourned over , I will move that the adjourned debate have precedence over all the other orders . 1 also be to give notice that on Friday . sthe oth of June , 1 shall move that on and after Thursday , the 18 th of June , the orders of the day shall have precedence on Thursday in each week over the other
notices of motion . . Mr . T . Dokcombe expressed a hope that the right hon . baronet would consent to have the Poor Removal Bill discussed withont further delay , as it was of the utmost importance that it should be enacted COtemporaneously with the Corn Bill , which , he trusted the House of Lords would immediately sanction . Then there was the Bill for the enrolment of the militia , which ought to be discussed in . thejniddle of tne session when members , unincumbered with a press of Parliamentary business , could scan and minutely examine its provisions . The intention ol introducing the Bill was announced long before
Easter , and as yet they saw nothing whatever of this piece of proposed legislation . Now he did think it was treating members most unfairly to defer till tbe end ot the session bringing forward a measure against which there had been already manifested such general out-of-door opposition . He had hoped that the Militia Enrolment Bill would not be proposed , at all events until hon . gentlemen were afforded an opportunity of carefully examining tbe provisions of the measure , and it wag Ms decided opinion that the bill ought to have been brought forward , if brought forward at all , before they separated for the "Whitsuntide recess .
Sir It . Feel hoped that the house would make allowance for the position in which Her Majesty ' s Government were placed ( hear , hear ); . they had only two days in the week for public business , and there had been a great pressure of public business . ( Ilear , hear . ) lie should take the Posr Law Removal Bill on Friday , the 5 th of June , giving up the supply in order that no one might say the Government were not anxious to bring on the Poor Reirfoval Bill . The house , however , must feel that the Government were bound to go on with the Irish Bill without any delay , and he could not consent to postpone it for the Poor Removal Bill . The motion for adjournment was then put and agreed to .
THE OREGON TERRITORY . Mr . Hume inquired if notice had yet been given by the President of the United States of America to this country relative to the tsrmination oi the convention . Sir R . Peel said the President had given notict of the termination at'the end of the year , and in doing so had used the terms which were adopted bj both Houses of the Legislature , with a view to lend in < f to an amicable adjustment of the question . idhm / - THE BUDGET .

Mr . Goulburn then proceeded to show that the capital of the public debt'had been decreased seven millions since 1842 . The debt on deficiency bills bad been reduced £ 4 , 133 , 000 , not inferior to the decrease of the £ 7 , 000 , GOO on the capital debt ; whilst moreover £ 1 , 500 , 000 was the annual amount of reduction on the interest . Mr . Goulburn asserted that this ' improvement did not arise from the moneys received from China , but from the free-trade system adopted by Parliament . The Right Hon . Gentleman in the course of his
speech , alluded to the progressive improvement in the Post office revenue , as well as to the marked increase which had taken place in i erery item of the Excise duties , whilst on the other hand , by the flourishing condition of the Saving Banks , which although they gave a reduced interest to the depositors , yet still had vastly increased ; so that consumption and accumulation were going on simultaneously . TLe Right lion ; Gentleman , after alluding to the decrease of crime , the increase ot churches , and the general improvement in the moral habits of the people , concluded by expressing his confidence that the system of financial and commercial improvement proposed by government would contribute to the interests of : this niighty country .
After a few observations from Mr . F . Baring , Mr . Hume , Lord Geokge £ ect » 'Ck , Mr . Chables Wood , Mr . UARnwELL , Mr . Williams , and Mr . IIbbson , the House then resumed ; and alter disposing of the orders of the day , adjourned till Friday .

Liverpool , Thursday'Night . The arrival of the Royal Mail steamer , Cambria , Captain Judkins , this afternoon , furnishes us with the important intelligence that war had commenced on the Texian frontier with Mexico , that an engagement had taken place with General Arista , and that the Americans had been worsted ; that a large body of the Mexican army had ( crossed the Rio Grande , had surrounded General Taylor ' s encampment , cutting off his communication with Point Isabel , whence he drew his supplies , and that great fears were entertained for the safety of the force under General
Taylor , unless they were relieved by large and speedy supplies . For this purpose , General Taylor had made a requisition on the Governors of Alabama , Mississipi , and Texas , for aid , a bounty often dollars a man being offered , a goodnrianv . hands , had qtterefj them ^ lv ~ . - ««"^^ i % rBteamers were abo ut to sail From new Orleanstgtheseat-of'War ^ ; - , The arrival of the news at Washington caused the greatest excitement , || and a Bill providing for the existing state of war between the United States &nd the republic of Mexico was immediately passed , and received the sanction of the President . The bill appropriates the sum often millions of dollars towards carrying on the war , and empowers the President to employ the militia , the naval and military forces of the United States ,
and to call for and accept theservices of any num . ber of volunteers , not exceeding fifty thousand mon . Further accounts were hourly looked for with the most intense anxiety in all the cities from New Orleans to Boston , as it was fully expected that General Taylor ' s encampment would be attacked orthwith . ' ¦ ; The President ' s message for communicating the existence of the war to the Senate is as usual pretty long , and in it he enters upon what is intende ' das a justification of the course which has been pursued by the United States towards itsouthern neighbour . The crowded state of our columns prevents us giving this document . Inmie . diately on the passing of the war bill , the Preaideni
issued the following proclamation : — "BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA .-A PROCLAMATION . "Whereas the Congress of the United States , by virtue of the constitutional authority vested in them , have declared by their act , bearing ! date this day , that by the act of the republic of Mexico a state ol war exists between the two Governments : now therelore 1 , Jawes K . Polk , President of these United States of America , do hereby proclaim the same to all whom it may concern .

ALGERIA . MASSACRE OF THREE HUNDRED FRENCH PRI SONERS BY THE ARABS .
¦ M ARSEILLES , May 27 . The France / % en ' enne , in date of 23 rd May , has the following : — " The master of a small sailing vessel , which left Djemmaa-Ghazaouat on the 9 th instant , has announced to us a horrible event—the massacre in the Deira of Abd-el-Kader of all the French prisoners . General de Lamoriciere immediately ordered the Gregeois steamer to repair forthwith to Djemmafi-Ghazaouat with Col . Martimprey on board to examine the merits of this alarming report , to establish its authenticity , or otherwise , and to collect all the particulars of this odious act of barbarity , of the fact of which we would fain doubt , but alas ! we
fear it is but too true . The state of the sea prevented for three dayg tho execution of M . do Miirtimprey ' s mission ; the Gregeois , however , arrived at length this night . From the report of M . dc Martimprey , as well as from all the reports collected relative to this fatal event , it is clear that A . bd-el-Kadcr ordered the massaero of our prisoners , and that this order has been executed . We hasten to state that unto the present time this order has not extended to the officers , who have escaped this horrible butchery . I will now summarily relate the reasons which induced the Emir to adopt so merciless a resolution .
\ REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL . The important intelligence lias beea received from Portugal of the downfall of the Costa Cabral ministry , and of general insurrection having broken out in that country . Public excitement was at its greatest height , and deep alarm filled tlic minds of all classes , 'the dissolution of the government took place on the 17 th of May . The Queen had commanded the DulUS dc Palmella to form a new ministry ; but up to the 20 th he had not made any sensible progress in the execution of his tusk . Count Villa Real had been previously sent for by the Queen to form a ministry , but he tailed in the attempt . With regard to the extent of the insurrection , the Lisbon correspondent of a morning paper says :- " The shadow of this

' %% UIintlF-v ' approaching event had been perceptible lor some days before ; for , although the' official journals daily announced the defeat and dispersion of the insurgents , facts had come to light which plainly showed that the insurrection , on the contrary , must havei been gaining ground : It was known tbat young Villa Real , a son of Count Villa Real , bad put himself at theihead of large body of armed peasants , and taken possession of the town of ; Villa Real , in the province of Tras os Montes , whence his father's tifle is derived ; that another body of malcontents liad surprised and disarmed h strong ( fetachment of troops at Amarante , and by per Qnnrter
making'themselves masters of the bridge over the Douro , at that town , had opened a communication with the Mrnho , insurgents ; and ( bat the movement had extended ) through other parts of Tras os Mbntes . Sfotwithstandttig all this , the Lisbon public was completely taken by surprise , when , on Sunday morning , tbar Oporto steamer , came over , tire bar , haying on boavtf , evidently as a ; runaway , the Minister of 5 ustic « vM . Jose Cd » al , . tbevvery ^ Bdividtta * who so 8 horiay , before had been Bent . to thatcity armed with the most ample and unrestricted dictatorial autfioritfc As faras I have beea able te >] earn rifc appear * ' that the flame of insurrection spread , rapidly fronvthe Minho all over Tras os- Monte 8 in which Jatteyprby vince alone about 8 , 000 'men were in arms ,, under tlie
direction of a junta composed ef the most influential ^ 6 f its proprietors , including joung Tilla Real , and that thVcommander . of the military division , Viscount Vinhaea , seeing this formidable array . , and observing an evident disinclination on the part of the soldiersin act against tbe people ; entered into negotiations with the Junta , the- result of . which wasan agreement to a suspension of hostilities for six days , to await the Queen ' s answer to the demands of tne insurgents , which were—th « dismissal of fche Costa Gabral 1 Ministry , and the- repeal of all taxes- upon labour . On receipt of this unwelcome intelligence , and perceiving unequivocal symptoms of a- revulsion of popular feeling against him in the city of Oporto , M . Jose de Cabral thought it prudent to make a
precipitate retreat ; and the Duque de Porto having been kept in readiness with her steam up , he stole , quietly on board during the night , and when daylight came the redoubtable dictator was non invent ™ . In a few hours after the arrival of J , Cabral in this city , a Council of Ministers mis beld . atwhieh it was resolved that they should tender their resignations . The whole population ef the province of Beira has now risen . A body of insurgents , computed at from 4 , 000 to 5 , 000 strong , have entered Cpimbra , driving out tbe troops there stationed , who at first offered some reshtence , but gave up the- contest and retreated towards Oporto ,
fan finding that the inhabitants of the town were against them . Coimbra is the seat of the University , and is about 70 miles south of Oporto , and 130 novth of this city . Reports are in circulation of f ' rtsti outbreaks in an a ; . ooHo .. U ) ~ .. u u _ * u . time , no doubt , nearly the whole country is in a state of insurrectipn . In this city the ferment is constantly increasing . So strong is the feeling against the Cabral brothers in this city , that it is generally thought they will be offfor England by the packetgoing to-day . - That they are in great " bodily fear" is evident from the fact of their having slept last night and the night before at . the barracks of the municipal guard .
