These princes are neither mere nee Ws them pans valswastr, always at mimes with their people, of whose support they are independent ; always coquetting with one or ' another of their august protectors and allies, to see oat of which they shall get the; most indul gence or the most money ;—little beggarly potentates, who, instead of minding the internal adrniniatration of their country and the contentment of their subjects, give all their attention, on the con trary, to diplomatic intrigues, and standing armies, and European loans, and to the balance of power. Donna Kent of Portugal and King Orno of Greece, with divers others, are amongst the pro tected, and the result of the protection always is the same ; viz., disquiet and rebellion at home, difference and turmoil a br oad, amongst all who have the mis fortune to be connected with them. The protection of these princes is neither more nor lees than a bonus on misgovernment. Witness King OTIIO end General Courrri under the patron age and panegyrism of M. OUIZOT. And now, it seems, that in order to keep Donna Mania on her throne, the Geyser steamer has sailed from Woolwich with bombehells, rockets, and some quarter of a million's worth of instruments of destruction, which are to be employed by the British navy against the wine-trading city of ()Forte, the great emporium of British trade, to slay our own correspondents and destroy our own property—all this in the name of eur protectorate I One of the most certain and universal results of protection, is that the royal object of it always entertains an utter contempt for *mho, promises, or simulations. A prince who has really to deal with his people, must respect his oath, or pay the penalty, like CRARLES IRE TENTH. But the protected potentates he under no such necessity. They give and recall charters and constitution' with each new moon, or declare a dictatorship, as the Queen of PORTUGAL did the other day. The only serious embar rassment to Donna MARIA is,her having alittlequarrel THE EXPRESS, MONDAY E'ENING, MAY .31, 1847. *frets have the with her !subjects; for in that ease her b the upper hand. In order to reverse this, Queen has but to convert the small quarrel into • great one, to magnify the s q uabble into a war, and discontent into rebellion. The increased gravity of the case instantly relieves the Queen's difficulties, for it calls England or some other puissant ally to interfere. This is preciaely what the Queen at PORTUGAL has done. She misgoverned till her subjects could bear it no longer. But, unable to repress them, she is obliged to misgovern and provoke dill more, till open rebellion is the conse quence, and then England, France, and Spain must intervene, at the expense of the poor Portuguese tax-payers, to act police for Donna MARIA. Such a system as this, so replete with absurdity I and injustice, is too monstrous to last. And against no interest does it work so powerfully and perniciously as against royalty itself. King ship is too wetly in small countries, and if it be proved at the same time most perni sloes, the result will be, either that the small cometriee mat be absorbed in great and independent once, ashore royalty acts wholesomely end beneficently, or the small ones mist imitate Switzerland or old Hol iand in adopting some other form of government than the kingly. Small monarchies, we repeat, are public asisaaces, intolerable to themselves and to others. Mr. Hume is to-night to bring the attention of the House of Commons to our intervention in the affairs of the Portuguese. He is to ask for copies of the in structions given to Colonel WYLDE. Liberal =m bin of Parliament cannot at in patience and es, British interference, at first ostensibly undertaken in Wolf of the oppressed liberals and an annihilated constitution, now so suddenly' turned to crush those vary liberals, whom we admitted to have had just caw of discontent and even of insurrection. At the same time, Colonel WYLDE'i has been a &filcult and a delicate task. The British government is bound to keep Donna MARIA on her throne. If the insurgents insist upon conditions, menacing or detrimental to the Queen's rights, the British repre sentative has no option. We have the highest opinion of Colonel WYLDE'S talents and discretion. But we fear that he has been rather severe upon SA, who had serious canna of complaint against Vointirs, and fair grounds for attacking him. Bat on the other hand we cannot admit the fairness and justice of the demands of the Junta of Oporto. We have read them with attention, and with all that leaning towards them, which one has towards op pressed and injured men. But we mast say, that the amendments and alterations demanded by the Junta in the conditions signed by the Queen, are verbal, puerile, and not worth standing out for. They do not indicate a desire for amicable adjustment; but on the contrary, either a fixed purpose of continuing the war, or the design of preserving a hostile attitude in order to satisfy their Miguelite allies. Such motives do not command respect. The Portu guese liberals have a strong claim on the sympathy and support of the British government and public. But this does not entitle them to demand that the sympathy and support should be pushed to extrava gance—to impose disgraceful and impossible condi tions upon the Queen. Our . government has made several very . great mistakes in this business. The admission of the armed intervention of Spain, not to put down MicueL, but whenever British troops should land ;—this was a wrong ad mission, and will prove a most embarrsiming and per nicious precedent. Another error was, allowing • dynastic or Coatis° interest to appear at all in the matter. For this has been the main cause of the mistrust and intractability of the liberal% as well as of the sudden turn round of our own policy in Por tugal On their side, however, the Portugue se liberals have also committed very grievous errors. Their alliance with the Miguelites was alone a step which they must have known to be calculated to throw the greatest obstruction in the way of a final arrangement. Let us hope, however, that the junta of Oporto will not have proved intrac table, and that some means of accommodation will have been found to prevent, what we should consider unwarranted and disgaceful, the employment of British arms, even in concert with those of France and Spain, against Oporto. Sir CHARLES NAPIER, we are glad to see, has nothing to do with it, ONE of the most remarkable circumstances con nected with the Irish famine is the comparative tranquillity of the lower classes. There has not been that amount of disturbance which one might have anticipated. The efforts of the Young Ireland party to disturb and convulse the public mind, have been attended with signal failure. They calculated that the pastime of the populace could be roused ; and dreamed of ruling the peasantry as they pleased. Why is it that these violent tribunes, with Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN at their head, and Mr. MEAGHER haranguing without restraint, have been so powerless? The answer is one which English electors should remember. . --- The i&rals are in power, and by a acs gular combi nation of circumstances they are enabled to rule Ireland, without recurring to the arbitrary measures of a Wry cabinet. The liberals are able to come into active communication with the great body of the Irish people; a tory ministry would be utterly unable to do so. Without having recourse to the army, or the courts of law, Lord JOHN RUSSELL in a most disaatrons crisis has governed the Irish masses. He has won over many of their tribunes to his service; be has hushed a score of their de claimers, and extingukhed without, a proclamation many a meeting of cavillers at British power. How comes this ? How is it, that, while in 1843 the Irish masses were on the brink of rebellion, now in 1847 they are comparatively docile? The problem finds its solution in the facts that the men who move the Irish manse are tractable with a whig cabinet, but agitating and im prieticable with a tory ministry in office. Sir Rome PEEL, with his majority of ninety-one in parliament, was scoffed at and upbraided by the monster meetings of the repeslers. Lord J. RUSSELL, in a minority, finds in bind no popular or national opposition to his authority. If to the social suff • of the famine we were compelled to endure the and ferocious agita tion that have hitherto been identical with Irish polities, our state of affairs would be more gloomy than it ie. Political agitation has been laid in Ireland; a vast body of organised obstroctives does not now rival the government in power, all because a liberal party has great influence in Ireland • the English tories have none. Nor is this surprising when we recollect the past polities of the two counties. We would like to place this fact in its simple truth before oar readers, as it would help in dedding whether it be better to English interests that Pm or Russeu should govern the empire at the present crisis. From the fall of Lord NORTH 's cabinet in 1782, down to the retirement of Sir It. FEEL in 1846, the English and blab whip have acted in close concert, and on one broadly-oonceived system of polities. English opinion and English ideas of right have been brought to bear upon the liberals of Ireland; while, in return, the peculiar circumstances of 'lreland, and the state of its partied, have been made familiar to the English liberal leaders. This political union was further powerfully augmented by the family ties sub sisting between the great liberal families in the two countries, and it was made illustrious by the friend ships, ardent and sincere, that took place between those master-spirits " dear heirs of fame," who like trated in these islands the clew of the last century. The powerful whir peers, Lords ROCKINGHAM and SHELBURNE, acted in concert with the Irish Sri te critic leaders, the CRARtemoirra and FONSONIMI. The duel houses of the BENTINCKS and the OERAIe DINES professed similar views on the two WOOdtiot. Bemis, who oast the parts of the ROCKINGHAM mi nistry, and GRATTAN, the real moving power of the CUARLKMONT interest, were firm friends. The English whip had recruited their debating forces by Irishmen of talent, Sir PHILIP FRANCIS, General FITZPATRICK, and Colonel BARRE. Thus the remarkable fact (overlooked by many poli ticians) was presented , that while the islands had two different legislatures, their decisions were materially influenced by one great combination of power and genius, devoted to rational liberty and civilisation. Between the English and Irish wings there were com mon principles and strong personal sympathies. The records of political biography contain nothing more beautiful than the affecting letters between 13eRire and GRATTAN upon the death of the former's son. Thus, in the hastiest review, we perceive that the lines of ADDISON to the whip of his time, are equally applicable to their more celebrated successors: • L h r y fr=e it ' s pr "sul'f:" bY ol:=7" t ' Om the plot lkk, of demre thee rel., Proms {wo g -gnat Pah, and freet•dgAip'a holy rip. For nearly seventy ion fie iirltip :of t— end Ireland have professed similar principles. 'II, have bean attached to the esthetic - question—to con stitaticsal reform—to freedom of the press—to the furtheranee of the irreatest liberty compatible with order sod the stability of the empire. The result is betas assess at the present day. To every party Ireland presents a social difficulty • Ma to a esanaTative minister it is riot only a social, bt else phlitial, difficulty. And the reason is, besimas Item the days of Ptrr to Peen the AO& helms or conservatives never exerted any in inemseivertheir nominalallies in Ire Lind. Between the Lee and Irish tories, there never was any alliance or dose union imilar to that which prevailed amongst the whip. Mr. PITT never actively interfered with the management of Irish affairs ; he left Ireland to its oligareh_y and its "miserable monopolising minority" —the Protestant Ascendancy. Ile left the country to his Viceroy, and the Irish landlords and borough- When the Union took place, and when he i m me el Vaght into close junction with the men who had been his allies in Ireland, he was much surprised. His disgust and indignation at Lord Chancellor CLARE have been recorded by WILBERFORCE, and there are still living witnesses who could testify to Mr. Pirr's reprobation of the Irish tory party. It is remarkable that Sir ROBERT PEEL, in his conduct towards the tories, has followed the example of Mr. Pirr in doing nothing with them, except, perhaps, expressing to a chosen friend his disgust at their narrow views and selfish obstinacy. Mr. PITT, sided by the war, and acting on some hints by the drat Marquis of LANSDOWNE, built ups vastparlia =eatery combinatioa in England ; but he never sought to mould the Irish tories to his own superior views, or assist them with his intelligence. In the same way, after the Reform Bill, Sir ROBERT PEEL laboriously constructed his conservative party ; he took no notice of the Irish tories. He left them to their insular ignorance of the state of Europe, to their local bigotry,. religious and political—to their half stifledOrangemm—and to their hereditary antipathy to the catholics of Ireland. When the "No Popery cry was raised against the hiELBOURNE cabinet—when O'Suit.tv.tri and Mcsause embittered society . in Dub lin with certain disgusting charges against the teachers of Roman Catholic doctrines—Sir ROBERT PEEL stood calmly by, and appeared to feel no inte rest, one way or the other, about Irish tories It wee in his power (who can doubt it ?) to have influenced the course of the Irish protestants ; he might have made half of them conservatives : he preferred to leave them to themselves, with their retrospec tioas of ascendancy, and their hostile antago nism to the mass of the Irish people, in cluding the middle classes. He made public demonstrations in Scotland and various of England, but he kept aloof from Ireland , th ough one might have 'opposed that even curiosity might have tempted him to visit its shores, and witness the changes since he was its youthful, and, we are bound to add, its able and intelligent, though sectarian, Chief Secretary. He trained up a school of young states- Met 4w Engla nd ,— Lord DALHOUSIE, Mr. SIDNEY 11.111 BERT, Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. CARDWELL, and others; bat he carefully avoided noticing any of the Irish tory politicians, whether old or young. Hence Sir ROBERT PEEL and his party have no ties in Ire land. There is in that country no combinatioa of distinguished persons ready to place themselves in conjunction with him. It is for those reasons that there is not a vestige of a Piot. party in Ireland. It is now too late for him Ito make one. He should have done so years ago—in 1833 and 1834, or while Lord MELBOURNE Was in power. Hence, Ireland is to Sir R. PEEL a great political difficulty. He could only govern it by the army—and by the sheer force of the British authority used in its most naked way. That moral influence which the English liberals possess over the Irish leaders, he OM never hope to obtain. While the whip are in power, Irish popular leaders of various grades in society, and of dif ferent mental powers, can be turned into place men " all tranquillity and smiles." This appetite for piece amongst persons who would fain have us be lieve that they " are bursting with heroic rage," is doubtless very ridiculous, we may add, contemptible. But we am not responsible for the idiosyncracy of the hishpspillee put y. It is enough for us, as &ilia man.l4 lnaaw that in Ireland it is held to he dispose/el kr (*than and popular polititians to accept plum from a sumervative cabinet, while under a wing mi nistrythemoeptance of office is compatible with honour. From 1841 to 1846, Sir R. PEEL was able to de bauch only one Irish whig or liberal of any note, while of the agitators reduced to tranquillity by Lord I. RUSSELL in a few months " their names are legion!" Table wits and idle jokers may laugh and sneer at such a state of things, but men of the world, con versant with life, will see that the whip have moral power in Ireland, when the popular leaders are so ready to help and assist them in preserving the peace. If the tories were now in power, all the old and dis gusting sores of Irish politics would be ripped up. The peculiar awkwardness of Sir R. Peet's position is the absence of a conservative Tarty in Ireland. When he is in power the Irish aitlice are placed under the immediate authority of their tory squires. It is the old ascendancy once more upon their shoulders. No wonder that they become violent and difficult to rule. We reckon it therefore a great gain to the empire that at each a crisis in Ireland, the whip should have power. The circumstances of the country would be more gloomy if the tonics were in office. We may perhaps return to this subject again. Our Paris corresponds's°, of Friday and Saturday Las arrived. - - - - - Petitions have poured into the Chamber in favour of postage reform from all quarters. The manifest advantages of this administrative and axial improve ment were made still more manifest by the speeches of M. Dufaure and other leading members of the Chamber. Their reasoning was unanewerable and unanswered. The proposition was, however, met by the dogged silence - of M.

The Dilmste adds that three villages have been burned on this " pad& promenade," sad the other say, that rivers of blood of the Kabyles have ' ilig Bowed. The tribes are represented as having been ultimately forced into submission. Indeed, a tele graphic despatch received in Paris on Saturday, no doubt of the subm i ssion of the whole of The meet remarkable feature about these proceed 'rigs i s the fact, that the chamber had previously passed a vote, disapproving of the expedition, and refusing the credit demanded for it, and the minis ters, themselves, refused to advocate it. The governor of Algeria, however, makes very little account of either the ministry or the chamber. The Duke of Montebello, late ambassador at Naples and recently appointed Minister of the Marine and Colonies, has arrived in Paris. The season continues to afford the most gratifying prospects for the harvest. The temperature is, fee this period of the year, unusually high. On Friday, at noon, the thermometer, in the shade, was at 86/ deg. ; and at two, p.m., it nee to 90 1-3 deg. With this temperature is the day, is alternated rain at night, sometimes accompanied by atmospheric com motions. On the night between Friday and Satur day there was a smart thunderstorm, succeeded by a heavy fall of rain. Advicm from Vienna say that a cabinet courier had been despatched from that city for Constantinople, bearing despatches to the Austrian ambassador at the Porte ; the result of which, it is said, must be the submission of the Greek government to the demands for satisfaction, especially when, as appears from the letter of our own correspondent at Constantinople, which we give below, even France is compelled to accede to the views of the other powers. The journals and correspondence of Madrid of the 23rd and 24th ineL have been received. The Queen returned from Aranjaez, and arrived at Madrid on the evening of the 24th. The King was still at the Pardo, but it was understood that he would return to the palace at Madrid as soon as he shouldbe informed of her Majesty's arrival in the capital. The journals did maintain the controversy respecting the cause of the state of personal estrangement, which unhappily prevail' between their majesties. Fine distinctions are drawn between conjugal rights, which are con oeded to all husbands, and the constitutional rights which are inseparable front the person of the sove reign. The King Consort surrounds himself with the Moderado party, and lends his ear to the French am bassador. The Queen, on the other hand, leans to the Progreasistas or Liberals, and would favour a policy more in harmony with England. El Eco del Coniereio has the following The first days of the union of Queen Isabella with Doe Francisco de Avis were happy ones. The royal pair (mays that journal) seemed satiatled with the mutual marks of affection they mandated towards each other. Since then the Want Don Francisco has been deprived of the society of a brother who was dear to hint, and of a sister who shared all his afflictions, and for whom he entertained the ethernet affection. A foreign intrigue found it necessary to isolate the prince, so that nothing should deter him from giving ear to pernicious counsels. The genius of evil has seized hold of two youthful beings who might make the happiness of the nation. It was au important point tcr the diplomacy mized up in these affairs, that the Queen of Spain should have no issue ; that the prince chosen for her husband should not be happy, and that despair should fall heavily on their existence to make way gradually tor the sou of Louis-Philippe to the throne of Spain. We beseech Don Francisco de Awls to tear away the bandage that has been placed upon his sight: he will find hia.self surrounded by the enemies of his mother and of all his family, who wish to snake Spain a feudal possession of France. A private letter of the 23rd, from Madrid, is quoted by dakplanis Messenger as follows : A report is current to-day in the best circles that the king has consented to return to Madrid to receive the queen, who it appears is to arrive on the Zith, and to reside with her constantly. M. Bragnelli, the Pope's nuncio, was expected in Madrid on the 2.lth. On the 24th, a meeting was held at theßank of St. Ferdinand, to which all public creditors were invited, in accordance with the royal decree of the 13th April. CONSTANTINOPLE, Mar 12. Despatches have been received at the Perte from Soleyman Pasha, the Turkish ambassador at Paris, which tend to confirm what I had predicted in a former letter. These despatches state that a great change has taken place in the sentiments of the French cabinet relative to the dif ference existing between Greece and Turkey. Soleyman Pasha says that he can with certainty attribute this change to certain cemmunicatMns which have been made by the Russian envoy at Paris to M. Guizot. The Turkish ambas sador's despatches give the details of an interview which he had wih the Minister of Foreign Affairs, of which the memorandum lately sent to the different courts of Europe formed the subject. In this interview M. °Meet mid that ho had carefully perused the memo randum of the Porte, that the resume there given of the misunderstanding existing between the Turkish and Greek cabinets p.eerueer to him to be correct, and that the reasons put forward by the Sultan's ministers for the conduct they had pursued in that affair were "Ira plausible." Be requested a day or two to reflect on the matter, and he said he bad little doubt but that the determination to which the French government was lisely to come would be each as to give satisfaction to the Porte. Soleyman Pasha concludes by saying, that the French steamer expected here on the 14th hist., will bring instructions to M. de Bourqueney relative to the conduct which he ought to pursue in the present ques tion, and that he has good reason to believe that these in structions will be of similar import to these already received by Mr. Wellesley and M. d'Oustinoff on the same subject, from their respective governments. The effect produced rte the Turkish council by these des patches was one rather of misgiving than satisfaction. They fear an alliance between France and Russia, to the exclusion of England ; they fear • unity in the operations of the two most powerful and most untiring enemies of their country. Weeks since, it was predicted by one of the most enlightened members of the Turkish cabinet, that some such event as this would take place. That England, as she had done in the Syrian question, and in every other question is which she has been engaged, would remain true to her word, and pursue her object to the end. That Russia, whom chance alone has allied with her in the present affair, would abandon that alliance the moment her interests pointed to such a step, and that whatever sacrifices the policy of Great Britain might entail, would be supported by her alone, whilst the advantages accruing from it would be appropriated by her natural rivets. Of the policy of Russia in the Bale, there has of late, as it has been totally undisguised since the arrival of M. d'Oustinoff at Constantinople, and the policy of France is now equally well understood by the Turkish ministry. I do not make these statements for the purpose of flattering the British public. In this I merely repeat the words of the leaders of the Turkish government, not expressed in official communications to ambassador, and their dragomans, when their sincerity is doubtful, but uttered in the fulness of the heart to those of whose friendship they are assured. The anticipated measures of the French government in the pre sent quation will at least have this good effect, that it will show beyond all future doubt the little reliance which is to be placed upon their word, sad that the France which in 1840 abandoned Mehemet Ali, is the same that ts-day throws overboard its protege , Coletti. The Porte has never had the slightest confidence in the professions of Russia in the difference between them and Greece. The Turkish minis tent, with more penetration than the British representative here, saw that the alliance between England and Russia was one of chance and not of principle, and that it would be abandoned by the latter power fur one more congenial to its interests the moment an opportunity offered. It was known at the Porte that simultaneously with the emperor's loan to the Bank of France, M. d'Oastinoff, in consequence of in structions from his government, made amicable overtures to M. de Bourqueney. The Porte also saw the duplicity with which Russia war acting towards themselves in the same question. At the very moment that M. d'Oustinoff was protesting against the conduct of the Greek cabinet through his agents, he was assuring the Greeks of his sup port and countenance in any emergency ; that Greek vassa ls should have permission to hoist the Russian flag in case of a suspension of commercial relations ; and if a war were to break out, that Greek subjects residing in Turkey would be taken under Russian protection. It was said yesterday at the Porte that the rumour of the Greek cabinet having de termined to give the satisfaction required, was unfounded.

From Timor, under date of 27th I August, it is announced that the rice harvest in the district of Babson, which is considered as the storehouse of Kos. pang, had entirely failed, so that the crop. which generally amounts to 3,000 pikers, does nut yield above 200 this year. COLONIAL CANADA.—Accounts from Montreal state that the St. Lawrence is open, and that two vessels, the St. Andrew and Cambria, had gone up. A local journal rapt: "It is probable that the exports from the St. Lawrence will far exceed those of previous years. In connection with this subject we may mention, that instructions hare readied Montreal from the home government directing the authori ties to allow American smell to load at Montreal. This, if not too late, is likely to afford considerable facilities to shipping business. Hitherto Floor meld come to Montreal in Ann rican bargee, and American ships could go to Quebec; but between the two ports there was a great g alf, which made an expensive trans-shipment necessary.
