3 AUGUST 1833, Page 12

A Cabinet Council has been summoned to meet this afternoon

at the Foreign Office, when the important news from Portugal will be dis- cussed.

The accounts respecting Don PEDRO received lately by our Govern-. ment have been such as to predispose the Cabinet against recognizing him as head of the Regency. The wish is to induce Don PEDRO to re- sign that office in favour of the Duke of PALmEr.t.a, on whose discre- tion and integrity they can place entire reliance. This is also the wish of the French Cabinet. Further, it is understood that the appoint- ment of PALMELLA to this high office would secure the non-Lsterven- don of Spain, which is considered particularly desirable, in order to prevent the necessity of any warlike intervention on the part of France or this country.
