Letters have been received from Lisbon to the 14th ultimo. .A revolution broke out at Lisbon on the night of the 7th, which terminated in favour of the Charter of Don Pedro. The immediate cause of' the movement was the entrance of Viscount So do. Bundeira, as minister of war, into the cabinet, formed on that evening by the Duke of Palntclln, and the measures resorted to by Viscount So to pttt down the Oporto movement in favour ofthe charter. The troops of Lisbon were commanded by chartists, and Viscount Sn, immediately on entering into office, dismissed most of the colonels of' the garrison, as well as the governor ofthe Castle of St. George, which brought on the explosion. The garrison of the castle, headed by the old governor, im- mediately declared for the charter, and the regiments quar- tered at Belem declared almost simultaneously in the same sense, and marched to the Necessidades Palace. The new ministry took all measures in their power to crush this movement. The populace and arsenal workmen were sup- plied with arms, and with all the remaining troops marched to a central position, with the apparent object of attacking the castle. But it was soon apparent that the troops ofthe government could not be depended upon to fight in the cause in which they were engaged; and on the night ofthe 8th the ministers unanimously resolved to give inrtheir re— signation, and signed a written declaration at the palace of their inability to put down the chartists. The queen then sent for the Duke of Terccirn, and a new ministry, friendly to the re-establishment of the charter, was formed. 0n the 10th, in accordance with their report, aroyal decree was issued, putting the charter again itt vigour. Three days’ re- joicings were ordered in, consequence, and the queen had been to the cathedral to give thanks for the same. The Junta of Oporto had been dissolved, and everything appear- ed quiet at Lisbon. Costa Cabral was daily expected, and the difficulty seemed to be to reconcile the various pretensions ofthe leaders of the successth side. The Cortes are con- voked under the charter for the 10th of June.’ Very satis- factory communications had been received from the Spanish government which declares it will not interfere unless at the request of the queen, when it offers every assistance in its powor. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the House of Commons on Friday the 18th ultimo, the debate upon Mr. Villi‘ers’ amendment to Sir Robert Peel’s motion regarding the corn laws, for the abolition of all duties payable upon imported grain, was commenced and continued during five days. It Was necessarily a dull affair from the previous exhaustion of the subject. On a divi- sron, there appeared for the motion, 393 ;for the amend- ment, 90.; majority against the amendment, 303. On Friday the 25th, Mr Christopher moved an amend- ment, the effect of which was to/ give more complete pro- tection to the farmer, by fixing a higher sliding scale than the measure of Str Robert Peel. This proposal was with- drawnzand the House affirmed Sir Robert Peel’s motion by a majority of202—the numbers being 306 and 104. On Monday the 28th, Mr. Redington moved that the 7s. duty on oats in the scale should be raised to 8. On a division the numbers were—for the amendment, 53 ; against it, 256 —majortty for ministers, 203. A long discusston then took place on the resolution regulating the proposed duty upon tm'ported wheat, meal and flour. ' The report ofthe committee on the importation of foreign corn being brought up last Wednesday, Mr. E. Buller mov- ed u scale of duties which was the same as that ‘of Sir R. Peel, until the price reached 645., when he proposed from thence upwards there shall be a fixed ditty of 65. Sir R. Peelhoped the hon. member would not think it disrespect- ful if he declined to follow him in his calculations, for the fact was, it was desirable that some limit should be placed to thess discussions, or the public advantage would be sacri- ficed in the enormous loss of time which they involved The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. Iiartine moved that. as it appeared by the returns on the table that at an averagt; of years, with average crops, a sufficient quantity ofcorn is not produced in this country for the food of the population the deficiency, amounting to about one million quarters of wheat, 250,000 quarters of barley, and 250,000 quarters of puts; that in each year, and before the scale of duties comes into operation, the following quantities of'grain shall be admitted for home consumption at a duty of one shillino D ters of barley, and 250,000 quarters of oats. SirR. Peel said that of all the motions he ever heard of, this was the most extravagant. . Such a compulsory importation without reference to the exrsting supply, would have the ’efl'ect of depressing the market ata time when they might be alread far too much depressed from other causes.
