Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN has rendered himself exceedingly unpopular in
Lisbon, by taking part with the Chartists and the Court against the prevailing faction ; and one of the Mi- nisters, CASTRO PEREIRA, has indirectly requested his recall. by intimating to Lord PALMERSTON, that in future it would be more agreeable to the Portuguese Government to communicate with the British Foreign Secretary without the intervention of the Ambassador at Lisbon. The Globe of last night states, that Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN has obtained leave of absence for six months, and will shortly return home. It would therefore seem that Lord PALmicasros has taken the hint of the Portuguese Minister.
The Cortes have conferred on the Queen the power of pro- roguing and dissolving the Cortes at pleasure, and have likewise given the Sovereign a veto on the election of peers. This last provision materially modifies the article which placed the power of electing the members of the Upper Chamber in the hands of the People.
