I I of the papen which had bees produced gee the Charter, to which - ke wield refer for the purpose of sh owin g how it had been violated, though it had been car ried out by the Duke de Niemen' with general madsfeetien. Those whose object it was to depress the popular had ameseted that the Miguelites were the Crto - hedreaded notwithstanding that they had bean y the miirdater tor foreign affairs that Don Miguel was 1. Berland, liviag in retirement, and not likely to leave it. Bat the acts of violence, and the unconstitutional means to which the Queen's government had resorted, had had the stet of unitise, the M,gaelite with the liberal party in de knee of the national interest ; and, thus, instead of lessening the difficalty, raising a paribility wriest the retention of the throne by the Queen, unless she would bend to the con stitution. One of the first violations of the charter effected by Jeri Cabral, and one that gave great offence to the people, was the practice of striking out from the list the names of many of the (instilled electors and inviting others who were not qualified for the purpose of carrying the elections in favour of the government. The charter provided for trial by jury, independence of the judges, and freedom of the press; but every one of those provisions had been violated—juries had been suspended altogether—judges had been removed from place to place and dismissed—no newspaper had been permitted except such as were published under the sanction and which were wholly under the influence of the government—and arrests, imprisonment, and even transportation had been resorted to, without the semblance of law or trial. but at the will of the Minister of Justice, in order to put down the popular voice. He had that day sp oken to a gentleman, one of 700 political prisoners who had been confined in one prison, and who had escaped in consequence of a political disturbance, in which the doors of the prison had been forced, and the prisoners liberated, though eighty or ninety of them were, on their way to their homes, butchered in the streets. These political prkonen had their houses invaded, contrary to the sixth article of the testy 'shish goeranteed that every man's house should he his asylum ' and were carried off without maculation on trial and locked up with felons of the worst description. In fact the chief of police seemed to have had unlimited power of arrest without bringing the parties arreited before any tribunal of justice. Another breach of the treaty was to have been erred in the viola tion of the teensy of letters ; indeed in no part of the country was correspondence by litter eoneidered sacred. in short it was impossible to find a single guarantee, protection, or pri vilege that Wiwi been swept away; and when the people so aggrieved had been driven by desperation to take up arms in defence of their just rights, as we ourselves had done on former octagons ; they wore to be pat down by the com bined forces of three other nations. (Hear, bear.) But That was not all. The Queen had declared herself dictator; pathos an end at once to every court of justice and tribunal la the country. She had ales, contrary he believed to the Airier of MO, appointed her consort commander-in-chief of the army, which, according to the report of our own mi nister, had added to the alarm which them prevailed. He would not weary the house with further details. Besides bribery, extortion, and the levying alarms without law, the pmerement had acted most disgracefully in their Mtsespts to raise money by bonds, and other means, the mart and the army being in the greatest want, and without may chance of replenishing their exhausted exchequer. In that, every act of the government had been unconstitutional Ina tyrannical—(hear, hear)—and yet such was the eon duct that this country was called on to support. Prance had expelled Charism I. for conduct not one twentieth part as bad—( hear, boor)—and in referees@ to that eat. Lord Grey, .

Here, then, were members of that government endeavouring to crush by force of arms the leaders of • revolution In Portugal, caused by a degree of tyranny and oppression ten times ea great as that which gave rue to the revolution in France, while he found acting in co operation with them, Louis Philippe, a man who owed his CIOWR to the barricades—(loud cheers)—and who, he thought, was too shrewd and too careful of his own interests to be a party to such • measure. (Hear, hear.) It might be thought by Os noble lord and his colleagues who bed con curred in this interference in the affairs of Portugal, that because dry had taken Dan Antes and 2 or 3,000 men pri soners they Mould thereby further the ends of peace; but the opinions uniformly expressed by the ministers of former days did not justify such an anticipation.

Surely the British navy could and to declare what their intentions were, and not act in so disgraceful and unac countable a manner. He did net believe it possible that such a disgraceful act of injustices could have been perpe trated by a nation so powerful as this ; and it was a stain upon it which he feared would never be re moved. If we had even excluded Spain from our inter vention, Portugal might have been content to hear injustice from so strong a power ; but the border feuds of Scotland did not equal the enmity which existed between the Spanish and Portuguese ; and the opinion of every Portuguese there fore was, that their country was degraded to the last ex tremity by allowing Spain —a country that was unable to attend to her own interests, or to terry on her own govern ment—to be a party to the late protocol.

He (Mr. Hum) bad probably failed in stating what be intended, in order to show what were the owns of complaint by the people. One of those be bad passed by. In article 15, sections 8 and 9, it was enacted that in the national Cortes alone was vested the power of assenting to or refusing the entrance of foreign forces. But our government, by the in. troduction of forces supported Queen Doane Maria in the violation of this article, and gave great additional cause of complaint to the people. That the Queen should violate it caused him no surprise. but it surprised him that this coun try was so little scrupulous. There was one set of violence which he had &Totten to state. On 3rd November, by a decree which was issued, the Queen ordered that all ecclesi astics, coley of the laity who should be taken with arms in their =soy ef the regular officers who joined the in surgery., I L Imardistely tried,and the execution of the sentence was gland et the disposition of the commanding officer. Misr the dint at Torres Vedras, 30 officer and a number non WE down their arms, and expected to be treated with all the honour' of war; but instead of being taken to a place of safety, they were sent to the penal settlements, on the coast of Africa. Our minister represented the injustice of this, and the noble lord (Palmerton) called attention to it, but withoot effect, and they wero placed on board a vessel so confined that disease must have ensued; and the captain of the vessel refused to take so many persons, who, being no blemen and gentlemen, could not but suffer severely from the want of aecommodatioe,which could only have been endured by criminals who were accustomed to such confinement. This captain had been superseded, and another appointed in his place, merely from this appeal to humanity ; and those prisoners were now exposed to that unhealthy climate. He would now quote from a despatch of the noble lord's, dated April 5. (It was frourViscount Palmerston to Sir Hamilton Seymour, and appeared in this paper on Thursday lost.) In those principles he (Mr. Hume) agreed, and he regretted that there had been any change with respect to them. Fort fit. Julien, at the mouth of the lapis, was the place ap pointed for the reception of the prisoners, and the Por tuguese government sought to have authority there ; but Admiral Parker landed some marines, took possession of it, and insisted on good accommodation being afforded to them. He might have wished to have the tole superin tendence of the prisoners, and his motives might have been good, but still it was an interference. In his (Mr. Hume's) mind, the conduct of this country was a gross violation of the principles of non-intervention, and he sate no prospect of the peace of the world if those principles were not respected. Suppose that Austria, Russia, and Prussia, marched an army to Paris, and re-established the old dynasty. could England say a word against it? Looking to the effect of inch intervention on different countries and the world at large, he could not see where it was to end. If we wished to inter fere with other nations why did we not interfere to prevent the lamina of Mexico by America? We would not at tempt each iaterventies. with Austria, but we did with that poor country, Portugal. He was one who highly ap proved the recognition by the Doke of Wellington of the governments of France and Belgium after the revolutions in those countries, and he thought we were only actiag consist ently with the tenure of our liberty in the country in ac knowledging the right of a people to dispose of their own government. If we approved of that disposition in the eases of France sad Belgium, and suffered them to maintain their liberties seamtheies what should we say to Portugal? Might net SIM gdeKeae m well interpose in the affairs of Ireland, or bogus's soy parties in this country ?

Alter a long pause (during which no Iten, member pre sented himaelt to address the house), a partial wry of Divide," together with loud calls for Lord Palmenton, was raised. The noble lord relented his seat ; and, after a continuance ef the demands for a division for a few seconde, Mr. B. ESCOTT observed that there were stranger+ in the galleries. Strengen were ordered to withdraw ; hut, almost on the same instant, Mr. M. MILNES proceeded to address the house, urging at some length his reasons for objecting to the motion of the her. member for Montrose. He was clearly of opinion that this interference was due in honour to the Queen of Portugal; and he believed that it would be justified by its practical results. It was impossible that the ceoten *lad have been put an end to in a more pacific way. Das itatas and his party were now prisoners in the hands of the British forces; and where could they he sorer ? (Cheers, and laughter.) It had been hint e d th a t thi s traivecion would entail great disgrace on this country, if full warning THE EXPRESS, SATVR: had net been given to DOS AMU/ of what writhed to is done.

It wed that the sahty if the mimes should be treetneff, who, If cottoussiel, Ind beam or Tiered in the most honourable manner, by a vastly 'sp oor force. On the other head, Queen Deana Maria was now bound to conduct her government strictly on eon 'Mistime' principles; and she might be,. buried the lams —if crowned heads could learn—(laughter)—that it was dangerous to encroach upon constitutional Hen. Her Most Fatted Majesty was now clearly bound, ia the fees of Europe, to govern according to the principles laid down in the agreement. Had her Majesty been driven from her throne, and compelled to seek an asylum in another country, the very worst effects might have been anticipated as re• Farded the muse of constitutional government in neighbour ing countries. As the avatar stood, the very beet conclusion at a civil war had been arrived at—that of eying • complete victory to neither party, while they bad been glowed to preserve their pricoiples uncontaminated, and in full fora, even to the very day in which the contest bad been brevet to a termination. Lord W. POWLETT, who was but imperfectly heard, was underwmod to my, that in his opinion England was justified in mediating in the affairs of PurtuKal, but that armed intervention was quite out of the question. If violence had been attempted against the Queen of Portugal she bad our fleet for her protection, but further than that he condemned all interference in the internal affairs of the country. With these views he must record his vote against the policy of the genemosent, Yr. WARBURTON said he objected strongly to any interference with the internal affairs of • foreign state. Such interference rendered the interfering state responsible for the conduct of the government which it maintained, and took from the people the only chasm they had of a remedy for their grievances. In fact, it obliged it to undertake the future duty of carrying on the government. (Hear, hear.) Ile was not prepared to put out the present government to be re placed by one of protectionists on the eve of a general election —(laughter, and cries of " Mr. Hume ")—but he entirely mademned their conduct in this matter. (" Hear," and laughter. r. BAILLIE felt it his duty to interpose for the main tenance of a principle; one which he thought should guide this country, and that war—non-interfereues in the internal affairs of a foreign country. Mr. B. OSBORNE said he had waited for some informa tion from which he might gather on what excuse the recent intervention had taken place. For hi own part, he should have been satisfi. d ,if some of those "mute, inglorious" lords of the treuury, who were so often wen and so seldom heard —(laughter)--had undertaken the defence of the govern ment. He should have felt content if they had been permitted to express some opinion, when he should have been better able to answer the government grounds of defenee. The defence of the government had hitherto been entrusted to his noble friend the member for South Durham and the hon. member for Pontefract. The hon. member exemplified in his own person the advantages of intervention, for had it not been for his appearance at the red box, the house would hare divided early, and leR the government in a glorious minority. (A laugh.) The honourable member for Pontefract had said that in the first instance young countries required schooling in constitutional government. What! was the abolition of trial by jury, and the immuring of persons in prisons without the shadow of legality, the proper constitutional schooling? (Hear, hear.) He hardly thought that was an efficient defencwof the policy of the government. lie admitted that foreign affairs were generally treated with apathy both in that house and the country ; but if once that apathy were abandoned, it should be in the case of an ally with whom, for 400 years, we had been connected, and whose name would be found on some of the brightest pages of our history. (Hear, hear.) He had • reason for apathy in the confidence he had always felt in the policy of the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The despatches of the noble lord fully justified that confidence; and to only regretted that such noble senti ments had led to so lame and impotent a conclusion. The house would remember that in 184.5, when the late govern ment was broken up, the noble lord the present Secretary for the Colonies manifested a disinclination to take office, on account of the meddling capacity of the noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He confessed he had been astonished at this objection; but what was his astonithment now to find that the noble earl, who was frightened at the shadow in 1845, was prepared to embrace the reality in 1818! There was only one way is which he could account for this; Burke said that if you only allowed a man to repeat his story to you every night and morning for a twelvemonth, he would in the end become your muter. Upon this prin ciple only could he account for the fact that the present roble Secretary for the Colonies was now found clinging to that cabinet war eh, in 184.5, he denounced and refused to co operate with, because of the !Peddling propensities of the noble lord, the Foreign Secretary. (Hear, and a laugh.) It might be, and he understood it was urged that this inter ference was part of a great scheme /or the pacification of Portugal. But if it could be proved that, so far from paci fying Portugal, this convention would be the means of spreading the weds of war throughout Europe—if it could be proved that it was perilous to the very existence of Por tugal, as an independent state—and that it was in effect an encouragement and support of the principle of dea lpotic mnnarchy and absolutism—he thought every representative of a free and liberal constituency would feel bound to vote against it. (Hear, hear.) It was somewhat curious that the noble lord should, as appeared by the despatches, so suddenly on 'the 21st of May, have arrived at the conclusion to coerce Portugal by force of arms. (Hear.) They had heard rumours of certain mysterious influences, but he could scarcely believe that the independent mind and high spirit of the noble lord could be made subservient to petty intrigue ; and, judging from the tone pervading his despatch.* previous to the date he alluded to, he could oily suppose that he had been forced against his will into the course he had ultimately adopted by a majority of the cabinet of which he was • member. He could not believe, after looking at those eloquent despatches, that the noble lord would willingly join in a " Holy Alliance " wherein those states joined to coerce a fourth, and to support the Queen at all hazards, throwing over the rights and liberties of the people. (Hear.) Intervention was a term only known amang modern states men, and it would by well to inquire what wee the meaning attached to it. On the Ist of June, 1829, he found it laid down by a high authority that — The principle was, that every intlon bad a right to manage its own Internal affairs an It pleases, so long as It injures not its neighbours ; and that owe nation has no right to oontroul by force of arms, the will of another nation, in the choice of its government or ruler. This WWI the interpretation of the noble lord, the preseist Foreign Secretary. (Hear, hear.) He called upon the noble lord to state why he now violated this principle, and why the liberties of Europe were to be outraged by the com mends which he had sent out to the British forces ? It was worthy of remark that ail these conventions had been entered into recently; and, if they had not been so, they would never have been entered into at all, for to House of Cora. mons would ever have sanctioned such a ardent had they been consulted. The only analogy he could find to the con duct of the noble lord was in one of the comedies of Moltke Les Fourberies de Scapin," in which the Sevin having a spite against another, tells him that the only means of escaping from two conspirators was to get into a sack, and while in his hiding-place Semis fiageP.ates and kicks his unfortunate friend, persuading him all the time that it is the conspirators who are so treating him. (A laugh.) In this intervention the junta was the victim sewi the noble lord was the Scapin — France and Spalu ' being the conspirators. In the whole course of these traumatism it was somewhat curious to observe how the peculiar IMMO of Louis Philippe shone forth. Whenever there was sor dirty work to do, that illustrious individual, like ease Mephistopheles, was to be found at the elbow of the mile lord, urging him to do it. (" Hear," and a laugh.) They had been told that the Queen of Portugal had broken her oath and trampled upon the charter, in demanding foreign aid against her own subjects • and on referring to the charter it could not be doubte d that she had done so. Bat' how different was the course of Mr. Canning in 1826, wham called upon to interfere, not against the subjects of Portugal, hut against foreign invasion. Mr. Canning said that before • British soldier set his foot in Portugal—before a British soldier left the shores of this country for Portugal, it was our duty to ascertain that the step about to be taken was adopted with the full concurrence of the Portuguese legis lature, and he added, " it has never been the wish or pre. tension of the British government to interfere in the internal concern of the Portuguese nation. Questions of that kind the Portuguese nation must settle among themselves." This principle having been laid down, and affirmed by the British parliament in 1828, was it now to be borne that it should be thrown &aide, and that without being bound by treaty or otherwise, we should, interfere to coerce the Portuguese people, and to aid their government in breaking down their liberties, and trample upon their charter ? (Hear.) Was it to be borne, that the noble lord, having no regard for coa -1 stitutional liberty, should send a British fleet to capture and make prisoners the whole army of the junta ? It might be urged that the consent of the Cortes could not be obtained to this intervention, inasmuch as they were not sitting. But whose faedt was it that they were not sittings They were not sitting, because the Queen had declared that they should not meet until 1848. But the whole object of the court since 1846, as was clearly proved by the papers, had been foreign intervention. Saldanha complains that there is a Miguelite insurrection, and he tells Mr Southern that he btu received a proclamation of Don Miguel's, calling on the people to support his claims to the throne. " Give me your authority," replies Mr. Southern, " Oh," rejoins Saldanhs, " I was in suck a passion when I received it that I tore the document to pieces." (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) Mr. Southern did not believe the store of the Miguelite insurrection, but charged the whole difficulty to the Cabral administration. Now, what was the Cabral ad ministration? Costa Cabral entered political Ile a furious liberal, but, as was the ease with some patriots in that house, had since changed to a friend of the court, and a strenuous advocate of the absolute monarchic principle. (Hear, hear.) There were some instances of a similar kind on that side of the house. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) Costa Cabral managed to upset the char ter of 1838 by an intrigue because there were articice in that charter which preven ted him from carrying out his designs. That charter prohibited the king consort from being in command of the army, and this it was said the Queen took very much to heart. Cabral was open to court influence, and got rid of the 1838 charter, substituting for it the charter of 1828. Having succeeded in thi', his first act was to appoint his brothel, Jose Cabral, (whom Don Pedro had decreed incapable cf holding office in the state) minister of public justice. Then he proceeded to levy taxes without consulting the cones, to imprison people without trial, and to change the whole of the officers of the army, and on ell occasions, and in a'inost every particular, he broke through the articles of the charter he had himself lAY EVENING, JUNE _IA 1847, tituted kr that of la which os ossaskadv 1 hi reported to a onatriel, had pro- sentms two taxes, one tipon tiiamade far a oretlionbe et death, without which no priest ...a wu to m e ol eth t absaciass ar upon bealu the rep Tl: lik e Ist A ter ehar was ge th e e l on os e wee wee remitted to bury the party. • revolt tamed in one proems is anesquenee of a body in respect to which the I Ws. had not been paid, being left unlettered.

Mr. Southern said the whole of this scheme came from the Spanish border, and he mentioned a sum of money , 80,0001 . , whic h Cahnl had" sent to create a counter-insurrection in the capital. At this moment (mid the hon. gentleman) Cabral rules in Por tugal ; and, farther, I say, at this moment he rules in this country. (" Oh, oh," and cheers.) He asserted that it was so. However well-intentioned might be the noble lord (Palmerston), sod he admitted his good intentions, he wee sometimes caught sapping, and the hands of Costa Cabral or Louis Philippe he was no more than a child in l strings. (" Hear," and a laugh.) Now, what bad Count Thomar required of this country 1 In page 200 of the despatches, Mr. Balwer, writing to Lord Palmerston, said : Cosa Thorns (dui so Cobra) Sea Sod me whet or oar so ot's's& smut soaida =r e g a lia lespilios=ahe . flepostohlo salt is lo mirth rename. il thus pais uphill/ sepia hooloil IP asset Ds , Miguel I mil thot I Nall aotorass NO so to aloptioli ing this goods bat Sat li Ml* isit that EN/Lade:nth sot Istostfiaa 11 4i = to , re-weird& as asfla of mai most ham bran itoossassibior sea • .eue mama part tines Wirt Ng las adhorams whoa Mho imager iorma , la other M ithaty es renewal of its exertion to theseemert of Dora Mate 's *ram Count Tom', mil lo 111 sot ander stood roses eel Pr that if ths slob Yaw Ibit ws should spa thou II they took the acme eir Dom Miguel, they weal not Cake d lea= that If lbw sompliad the Queen, it soil set ma to Ps spots Is vim aim as in west ems they PI so. 1 Moat Mostar that. gosenalog to what he wen Soo sops he Sisal lapsad to support the CMOum of Portogalle Um= spirt her own rip" whatever alp la tho policy thesis he with 'tankful =MEM might pursue tennelell=n, or Me Fo r Miry might bowl Le resiiitiag it, in witiihmell Me s weep' st Fortopi would to lapsed ape Portugal byhmiplhas and lastidliato think that either the Portuguese rim yenta ups prom MU= sort of presumption ca ear part, or that*, Ilhatish or don wookt ammtion the principle= =kali was kande& The answer of Count Thomar was remarkable. It wen : Well, then, if you do not interfere in this way, you ham no right ft prevent another nation from so interfering. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Bulwer replied: That we had the right of a great state in Europe, which did not choose that the balance of power In Europe should he disturbed, which it would be if the suture of the Portuguese government were so changed that the queen of that country had merely to depend for her authority on Spanish intervention, which intervention was the one I presumed to which he alluded. He had referred to these matters to show that Cabral had been the proximate cause, and had plotted for this interven hen in Portugal. The case made out by his hon. friend (Mr. Hume) was, he thought, a crushing one as against the government; hut, in some degree, his hon. friend had filled in pointing out the abominable cruelties which had been in flicted by the court party on those who had fallen into their hands during the struggle. He had dwelt lightly on the sufferings inflicted on the prisoners of Torres Vedras —the Counts Bomlia and Villa Real, and their comrade,. What had been done by—as he could not flatter, he wished not to speak disrespectfully of hi r—whot had been done by, be would not say this woman, but this despotic young lady (laughter) towards these unfortunate, but distinguished captives / Notwithstanding the supplications and tears of their wives and daughters they had been treated as convicts, and sent in a convict ship to a penal colony. Our minister at the Portuguese court immediately, without waiting for any orders from his government, remonstrated against the treatment of these prisoners. In reply, the Por tuguese government deliberately lied to him, is it had done throughout. (Hear, hear.) It told hint that the prisoners would be sent to Madeira, and Mr. Southern accordingly believed them conveyed to that island. The house could decide for itself whether a court which thus tyrannised over its subjects, and deliberately lied to the representative of the British government, was entitled to the support of the British people. It was quite impossible to suppose that the Queen would have been driven to rel on the British forces in the Tagus, had it not been that the whole voice of the nation was raised—not to hurl her from the throne, for at no moment had the junta denied or impugned her autho rity, all it claimed being the maintenance of the people's coustittationsl rights, but raised—to reject the proposition that the caprices of the court should supersede the will of the people. Several unfortunate circumstances had been mixed up with this affair. And first, with all respect for Col. Wylde's gallantry and general experience, it must be admitted that, under all the circumstances, he was not the person most juslicioesly to be commksioned to Portugal. The noble lord, indeed, wrote that Col. Wylde had been deputed simply to give a military opinion on the state of parties in Portugal ; but from the very first Col. Wylde gave scarcely any military opinion at all, the best military opinion being supplied by our consul at Oporto. Col. Wylde applied him self to petty meddling with the court, and, in fact, instead of a mediator exhibited himself as a partisan. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Osborne) would pass over the unworthy conduct of Marshal Saldanha, in making use of Col. Welde's potion as aide-de-camp to her Majesty; but he could not pass over his conduct in deliberately woerting the falsehood that Colonel Wylde had expressed himself in disrespect ful terms of the Conde Das Antaes troops and cause, whereas in pages 83 and 89, Colonel Wylde indignantly repudiated having ever made any such observa tion, as those imputed to him by Soldariba. (Hear, hear.) In the course of the correspondence on this very point, however, there occurred • passage which fully ex hibited the position taken by Col. Wylde in Portugal—the position namely of a partisan—whether try the orders of the Warofice,orbyorders from elsewhere, the house must deter mine. " You were delicate enough even to tell me," says Saldanha to Col. Wylde, " that if I thought your visit to the ex. Count Das Antal might he injurious to us you would not go ;" so that the officer sent out by the British govern ment, simply to hem a military opinion on the state of parties, asps& hisofit appoutor to the wishes and views of its St IPS pseths. CM hoar.) It was much to be heeded that moan min lord's able despatches there vas not one damming the sairit of Col.

The hon. CA!=who has just sat down founded his speech and e entirely upon the supposition that her Majesty's government were engaged in establishing an absolute govern ment in Portugal, and that they wished to maintain a despotism in that country ; and thereupon broke out into declamative gibe, and invective against the ministry who could be guilty of such a proceeding. (Hear, hear.) But the fact is that no such object has ever been contem plated by the government. On the contrary, the proposition made by my noble friend, first to the Queen of Portugal, and next to the junta of Oporto, was, that all arbitrary decrees should eeue, that everything done since the 6th October should be revoked, that the banished should be re called, and the constitutional laws of Portugal have full effect. That simple remark does, I believe, destroy three fourths of the specious assertions of the hon. gentleman. Respecting intervention he certainly cannot blame us, since he hinuelf declares he would have interfered by tell ing the crown of Spain that no Spanish force should enter Portugal. (Hear, hear.) What I have to say in opposition to the hon. gentleman's argument is, that it was necessary to interfere; first, for the welfare of Portugal, and secondly, for the interests of this country. Further, I am ready to maintain that by that interference we have averted the danger of a European war. These three pro positions can, I think, be proved, by the papers before the home, and from the events of the last few weeks. I will not follow the hon. gentleman upon the subject of the pre vious ministries of Portugal. (Hear, hear.) But the Cabral ministry having been destroyed by a mili tary revolution, and the Duke de Pelmet's being at the head of affairs, meetings took place which gave alarm to the party then out of power, and who dreaded the subversion of the constitution, and destruc tion of the power of the monarch. The Queen, acted on by this alarm, partially by the fears which were entertained, and joining with the Cabraliste, who formed a considerable party in Portugal, thought it inceesary to ask the Duke do Pal metto if he could save her from the threatened danger. He professed himself ready to continue her minister, hut not offering any guarantee , she desired that he should resign, and immediately formed another ministry. So far there was nothing unconstitutional, there might have been nomethine imprudent, in the conduct of the Queen, the dismissal a a minister being an actor the sovereign power to which every minister of a constitutional govern ment was subject. Lord Howled de Walden, then , at Lisbon, seems to have supposed that the nomina tion of the Marquis de Saldanha would have been favourably received. He speaks of the Septembrists as waiting on him, and asking whether it would be safe, and whether, if it took place, they might depend upon the execution of the ordinary law. Lord de Walden seemed to expect that it might take place without tumult or revolt.- ' don ; but in a few days afterwards a fear, corresponding to ' that which excited the Queen of Portugal to change her ministers, seems to have possessed the Count Diu Antes, and the Septembrista who formed a junta at Oporto, sent certain addresses to the sovereign, in which they demanded that the new ministry should be dismissed, and expressed their fears of what was celled the Cabralista faction in Por tugal. Upon that demand being refused they placed them selves in arms against their sovereign. I am not now to argue whether they were justified in that course, or whether what they apprehended would have taken place; but I am ready to admit that no sooner had the insurgents appeared in arms both at Oporto and other places, than the restraints of the constitution were entirely thrown aside, and decrees the most arbitrary, and acts the most di spode, countenanced and sanctioned by the government at Lisbon. The hen member for Montrose went through the narrative of those various acts as if they were acts which her Majesty's go verement were bound to defend. I ray, on the contrary, that they form no part of our case. (Hear, hear.) It is to put an end to acts like these, and pr ev e n t th e continuance of such an arbitrary and despotic system of government, that my noble fnend wrote his despatch of the sth of April, and proposed the terms therein contained to the Queen and die junta. Taking the acts in succession, and as they arose, you will find that her Majesty's min later at Lisbon, and my noble friend in London, disapproved of them one after another, sad earnestly remarked upon their arbitrary character. Take one—the depor tation of prisoners taken from Torres Vedras ; an act quite unjustifiable in itself and extremely cruel to them. Th e Queen of Portugal had unfortunately placed herself in the hands of a party who seemed to have thougha that the in,. , dulgence a their party resentment should him part of the policy of the date, and that they should continue such acts in spite of every remonstrance against them. The hon. gentleman who spoke last, has said much* favour of Mr. Southern, sad much against the concise% of the Queen of Portugal.
