The appointment of SILVA CARVALHO to his old post at
the head of the Portuguese Exchequer, appears to have revived the credit of the Government almost instantly. He had not been a day in office before he issued a notice of his readiness to pay up all arrears due to the army and public servants ; having received pecuniary assistance from the Bank of Lisbon to a large amount, besides the offer of an advance of 450,000/. from seven of the leading capitalists. The Bank of Oporto, after refusing to listen to any propositions from the late Finance Minister, CAMPOS, have sent to CARVALHO an offer of all the pecuniary aid in their power.
