In conclusion, your Excellency will allow me to request you will cast a retrospective glance o ver my political ca I am fully persuaded that you will find it pure from all con spiracy, pure from intrigues, and that I have been ever a stranger to clubs , secre t soca."ties, and revolut i onary . plot . s, free alike from ultra . libera l exaltation and from servility in the manifestation of my opinions ; I have been always frank and independent. which i l k h l i y c adhe re nceiI c onstantly foto r the af e z legitimatereedefended), rantdtaicdn t throne, they were guaranteed to us by the Charter, au been, and nadndththe l egalpr nep l e s l iberty of 1 alway-s wi ll be, unalterable.

Ls. I onl y Lisbon, Nov. 23, 1846. The insinuations contained in this letter are so broad, and dive so deeply and keenly into the past career of both Viscount Oliviera, and Marshal Saldanha, as to need no particular pointing to the competent reader. Let us, therefore, pass on to the illustration of this curious episode in the narrative of current events, and detail what took place sub sequently between the Duke of Palmella and Donna Maria. On the 25th of Nov., at a late hour of the evening, the Queen sent a message to the Doke commanding his immediate attendance at the Palace. Palmella recollecting, doubtless, the sleepless night he bad passed on the very last occasion of his being sum moned to the royal presence (viz., on the 6th of Octo ber), represented to her Majesty's messenger that he was indisposed, but at the same time observed, that if, notwithstanding, her Majesty peremptorily com manded his attendance, ho would at once dress and proceed to the Palace. The Queen then fixed the following day for the audience. On the 26th the Duke repaired to the Necessidedes, where he was received by Donna Maria, who com manded him to be seated whilst in her presence. Her Majesty then awaited for a short time the Duke's communication, who on his part delayed to open the conversation in expectation that he should be ho noured by die Queen's commands in summoning him there. After a short interval the Duke expressed a hope that Her Majesty had been made acquainted with his written answer to the charges brought against him, of which the copy is given above. The Queen replied that the Duke's reply had been laid before her, and observed to him that he had demanded his passports—stopping short at this observation. The Duke, in answer, merely urged on Her Majestv'e attention the observatio ns contained in his reply to the first article of accusation. The Queen, having made some observations, delibe rately said, " It is my wish that you should leave the country ;" on which the duke rose, and, humbly inclining before her Majesty, kissed her hand, whilst he said, " I never thought the hour would arrive when I should be told by your Majesty, that it was essential towards your well-being that I should quit my native country ;" after which he quitted the royal presence. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the duke repaired on board the Admiral's ship, accompanied by two of his sons-in-law. He re mained in the Hibernia, where he was entertained at Sir W. Parker's table, until the following day, when he embarked on board the Madrid packet-boat, which at two o'clock, sailed for Cadiz. It Ls understood that M. do Palmella has gone to Gibraltar, to await the course of events. I have confined myself in this communication to a bare recital of the facts, which rest upon a certain and undeniable baais. Comment upon them on my part would be alike out of my department and perhaps premature—ll shall therefore: proceed with a narra tive' of the other circumstances which have transpired, and which afford, in conjunction with what I have already stated, a tolerably safe clue to the policy which the present ft lvisers of her Majesty have deemed it prudent to adopt in so far as the British agents here are concerned. . I intimated in my former letter my conviction that Colonel Wylde would feel it to be imperative on him to repudiate so much of Marshal Sal&uha's despatch of the 13th Nov. as committed him to an opinion as to the disposition of the people of Portugal in respect to the present movement, and also as to its origin. ' The fact was as I had previously surmised it would prove to be. Colonel Wylde addressed a commanica ' tion to Marshal Saldanha, pointing out the error committed by him, and requesting to be furnished with the means of setting the matter right in the dmo es pee t tninits im erstoohnpno: n a nsup ti Tnhigmeni ;; T:sa!uni o l)tiahf f osor hi ubw s jrasheco o uit w dres n eh o pec ilm th d e in t rw in e : g is s e wd te v i sce ry d hi h e h f p eem ro m ( p Lo per r ; t ly ion P eo al- - f owrioillihvoeir:ccr Thursday , h Friday,ohn morning n t h w :ab ae T e d theih ah c nf o e neces sarily be ignorant- The duke's reply to this tem perate remonstrance was highly characteristic. His Excellency admitted that he had made an unauthor ized and improper nee of the colonel's name, and that he had stated what was not exact in reference to the opinions which he had imputed to him ; but excused himself on the ground that Colonel Wylde's visit to DEW Antas was a circumstance likely to discourage the partisans of the Queen, as tending to show that the insurgents were countenanced by the British Govern ment- For that reason he had deemed it politic, and even necessary, to impute to the Colonel opinions which he had never expressed ; and although he was aware he was not justified in so doing he nevertheless hoped that the circumstances in which he was placed would in some sort prove an apology for his conduct; and finally the Marshal expressed a hope that the occur rence would not interrupt the friendly understanding that had existed between himself and Colonel Wylde. s cuovt a n feoww2hz d ow aa so c ct hi following armiesba cprovisio nfadne returned dahsdyffwa, a liwdtvei au during ead t t eu would order rari drLisbondogayet ammunition day's probablyk unetonnmarch ejtl tomai ohoms last The colonel repaired to Cartaxo (Saldanha's head quarters) e positions fortnight.vcrossnevening Saturday nt gke his forces (about 1,400 foot of different arms, and 150 charsor l B 3 ) 4 e nn 'thw fiFh ea a e d ov ro th llo e Manilla'. interval, with the intention, most probably, of crossing the Tagus higher up, and of going to Santarem. The force under this general is estimated by an Eng lish officer, who saw the troops under arms at Evora, at 220 horse ; 690 infantry, including riflemen, foot artillery, and other rank and file; and a battery of 3 guns well appointed and served by 150 artillerymen. A reinforcement of 600 veterans, who had volunteered to serve again during the present struggle, was ex pected to join him very shortly from the Alemtejo, and as there is a numerous band of officers available for commands, now under Bomfln's orders, this corps will form a valuable addition to the army of Das Antas. A body of 600 men, of the 4th Regiment, and 150 student volunteers, has been detached by the Count to Coimbra, in order to hold Baron C ased in check, as this officer has received orders to march The general, direct upon Santarem. on receiving his passport, repaired to the I stated in my letter of the 26th, the circumstance co w w ar nenvar - ed st e n lifre e t : iocalx !f i thisda to o s py c i o hneaei de openimta V :ar a: ul a nht y ded , haer a op t thop e iei n e : nec rded h uv or thatutmh in e. of General Prim's having been ordered to quit Lisbon.

It is quite obvious that the tatives and agents of the British Government ',- bon are viewed with suspicion and a certai n *I D; of dislike by the soi-disant loyalists here. I thiot stated in a former letter that there was not, and that there never had been, any intention on the a of Lord Palmerston to land a single marine, orto s any active steps in quelling the arm e d opp ol iti c , the ministerial acts which is organised througa get country. The conviction of this fact has olowle its way into the minds of Donna Marie • sad • .11; her Majesty, misled by them, has been unream te ' - induced. to adopt the opinion which they h are et fully impressed upon her, and to regard t h e d a •- n ation of our government in the light of sa i n j tyy ,, a quasi symptom of hostility , to her.

It is false that I ever permitted a promise to be made in my name of a monthly allowance in Spam to those individuals who have quitted Lisbon, in case they should hereafter be compelled to leave their country; nor have I made any proralse whatever. All this I declare upon my word of honour—obeerving that the falsity of such accu sations, preferred without any proof, c an only be met o n 3rd.

And immediately afterwards the last of these two foreigners was observed coming to the duke's house, wherein previously he had never entered. RPply, The concluding observation of my reply to the lust article does not apply to this one, in so far as the meetings numerously . attended and held in the night at my house are concerned, inasmuch as it can be proved by all the persons on my domestic establishment, that no such meetings have ever taken place there. On the contrary, it so happens that since I left the administration only two or three pFople amongst my old friends and constant familiars have visited me during the evening. It being a fact worthy of notice, that I have, during this interval, lived in greater solitude, as also has my family, than would have been the case had I received the number of visitors which it as erto been customary for me to entertain. The lattir h part hi o th f this article iPO ridiclous, that 1 do not know WAN answer it merits. s The allegation of a person i n timately familiar with me having been seen running into my house, does not ap pear to me to be a crime.

That the said foreigners (Croft and Fletcher) go fre quently from the duke's house to the house of Col. Wylde, , and a ced a the British minister, whose opinions have been declared against the government of her Majesty, Queen Donna Maria 11. Reply, As I have form ally declared, that, of the two fo house on - reigners here mentioned, only one came to m y a single occasion ; and that I have no relations whatever with him, it is quite clear that it is impressible for the accuation to be true, that they go frequently from my house to the dwell ings of the British Minister and Colonel Wylde. they a fi re spies being such great liars, I must believe that they are quite mistaken in the opinions which they are pleased to at ' tribute to these functionaries of the British government. sth. That the communications established by means of these and other foreign agents, between the said c olonel, the British minister , the En g lish admiral, and the duke: the long conferences that he has had with t hem ; the dinner 1 Tb.ho his ins,. h ow ever, not a subject proper f or me to express any opinion upon ; and I am onl y astonished at its being men tioned in a document em anatin g from the Civil Governor of parties of a political character which he has given to them (i. e. the British miuister, admiral, and Colonel Wylde), ore 1 the apparent means by which be has influenced them, not only to entertain fears of the final result of the contest, but also to express opinions, encourage discourses, and evince dispositions unfavourable and almost hostile to the govern ment of her Majesty the Queen. Reply, This article, which consists entirely of details of private intercourse supposed to have taken place between me and the English Admiral, Colonel Wylde, and Mr. Southern, is an amalgamation of absurdities and falsehoods, as I could very easily demonstrate by the declarations of the said individual", all of whom are doubtless worthy of the utmost belief. The fact being that I only once, if 1 recollect rightly, saw Mr. Southern since Oct. 7. Only once Col. Wylde who did me the honour to pay me a visit, and who was out when I returned his call. That I gave no dinner party to these gentlemen, nor to the admiral, notwithstanding the excellent and ancient relations of friendship that I have with him, a neglect for which I am very sorry. and of which I ant almost ashamed, but which originated on my part in a desire to prevent absurd rumours. I once dined on board the admiral's ship, and I did not visit him after the said dinner, although I intend yet to do so. All the consequences drawn from these imputed facts are absurd to a degree tha t I purposely abstain from commenting on. 6th. That the duke's nearest retainers act as agents and promoters of the rebellion, frequenting suspected hou ses, and parading themselves in familiar intercourse with pr dif ple, who before the present period were either strangers, or In ferent to them; which strangers are commonly . reputed to be agents for, and even to be engaged in , seducing persons to join the rebels. Reply, This article does not mention the names of my nearest relations who are accused of being agents and pro motets of the rebellion, and of frequenting the houses of sus pected persons; neither are the persons, so said to be suspected, who, it is alleged, were before the present epoch, strangers to my said kinsmen, named. Should this, how ever, prove to be the case, the accusation would not be against me ; such, however, as it is, I assert it to be false, and believe that it cannot be expected of me to answer seriously such an absurd and vague Recitation. 7th. That the duke has qualified the nomination of the Ministry of the 6th of October, and the subsequent events as a military sedition that cannot be upheld or maintained. Queen s eea meeting, imuph tha ad t i h n e h w e o r u e l a d d o mi nly Ia a l e a t v . e Port u i g f, al an in t ca hra se the Queen triumphed in her endeaeo u rs. Bu t if, on the con- And it is not long since that th e duke declared in a nume trary, the rebels should triumph, then he would not leave the country, as he wished to give assistance to his friends, who he was not in the habit of abandoning. Reply, In cue I should have qualified as asserted here, the nomination of the administration of October 6, and the sub sequent events, to be a military sedition, I should have ad vanced an absurd opinion, which no person of any under standing or sense could attribute to me. It is also false that I declared in a numerous meeting that I should only leave Portugal in case the Queen succee ded in attaining her ob jects. I never made such a declaration, and have not, more over, been lately present at any numerous meeting. Bth. That the duke's intimate friends point him out to be the only person capable of presiding over and directing a Cabinet that would represent the English influence in Portugal, when at the same time they depict the present administration as being under the imme diate domination of the Spanish and the indirect influence of the French Cabinets. Reply, I am ignorant of what opinions, my intimate friends entertain respecting me; and whatever those opinions may be, they cannot be made the grounds of an accusation against me. What Ido know, and what every person ac quainted with the history of iortugal during the last forty years, can be justified in believing is, that my presence in the administration has always been a guarantee that the dignity of the crown would not be depreciated or lessened, and that the interests of Portugal never were, and would never be sacri fi ced under English influence, or any other foreign interference whatsover. 9th. That the presence of the duke in Lisbon has en couraged and upheld the hopes of the rebels who all regard him as the head of their party and their chief support; these sentiments being expressed even by the most obscure and humble agents of the rebellion. Reply, No accusation whatever is contained in this article be me lieve l tha am t anybodyaat o a p th in e io r ns pea res pi pe e respecting to which it is possible for me to give an answer. Ido net riepo e n n si t* b r l tai e for ns th w ew hat think or say, they having obtained no mark of approval or of concurrence from me. 10th. That in consequence of all these circumstances the duke is considered not only by the public authorities, but also by the people at large, as the had and principal support of the conspiracy that is organised in Lisbon against the government of Iler Majesty. Reply, This article appears to be the conclusion drawn by the civil governor of Lisbon from the premises, all false, which he has formulated, and the value of which the govern ment of her Majesty is beet able to estimate. The Duke of Palmella's reply, together with the document containing the charges, were communicated to the minister in the following letter : TO TAE MINISTER OP TITE INTERIOR, SENOR VISCONDE however, was accustomed to send the caftan of in vestment for the vice-regal authority, on the here ditary Bays of Tunis and Tripoli succeeding to their hereditary rights; whilst the military piratical chief of Algiers, elected by that piratical republic, received in due form, and at the usual time, the confirmation of kis election, without a word of censure, or remark, or hesitation on the part of the paramount chief or Sultan at Constantinople. Such was the practice of several centuries, and so the Sultan of the Turks acknowledged the independence of the Barbary chiefs in their North African States. On the other hand, the SULTAN exercised his rights of paramount sovereignty in Barbary. His money passed current in those states, his firmans of invest ment were devoutly received by princes and people, as the approbation of the chief or Kalif of Islamism, and at various periods he received tribute in the shape of specie and magnificent presents. It is, neverthe less, worth observing, that the amount of tribute was never fixed, and it was always left to the caprice or liberality of the various bashaws. The present Bey of TUNIS has at different periods despatched presents, the last of which was, among other things, a large sum of specie, and a splendid corvette. This, then, is the present position of his Highness the Bey of TUNIS in relation to the Sublime Porte. But politics have recently very , materially affected the position of this prince in relation to the States of Europe. The conquest of Algeria has given him very powerful, if not too powerful, neighbours. It is the policy of the French to stimulate the Bey to aspire after, if not to declare, his absolute independ ence of the Porte, contrary to the paramount rights of the Turkish Sultan, now the acknowledged rights of many centuries. The Bey, once inde pendent, and the French on the aggressive, the feeble and newly-created sovereignty would be swallowed up in a single mouthful o f Algerian military ambition. There would then be no barrier between the French and Egypt ; for Tunis is far too feeble to act the part of barrier. It is therefore clearly the duty and interest of all European states, the aggressor excepted, to maintain the rights of the Porte in Tunis; and to repress any aggressive move ment on the part of the French in Africa, by up holding the connexion between Tunis and Turkey. However, whilst we maintain the paramount rights of the Porte, because they are founded on the prac tice and sanction of ages, and have been acknow ledged by the princes of Tunis, conjointly with the powers of Europe, we have no inclination to depress a nd degrade the Bey , or lower his position as the hereditary and quasi independent chief of the Tuni sian regency ; for this would be highly impolitic, as well as unjust. We even g o so far as to think that, in the event of his Highness not renouncing his in tended visit to England this winter, his Highness might be received at the court of St. James' without the cold and jealous formality of being introduced by the Turkish ambassador. This might be done surely without disturbance of diplomatic or court etiquette. We consider the Bey more independent than the Pasha of Egypt, of Turkish rule; he is more at home in his' own house, and more free as its master. Certainly, none of the commercial treaties of the Porte refer to or bind Tunis; treaties, indeed, which bind the Pashas of Tripoli and Egypt do not bind the Bey of Tunis. This, itself, is enough to elevat e the position of the Bey of TUNIS above that of InitAnin PAsn t or his celebrated father, as to sovereign rights in their respective regencies. The Bey of TUNIS has also many c laims to the s y m pathy of England and civilised Europe. He is the first Mussulman prince who abolished slavery. Whilst the Egyptian Pasha has been insincere in his professions of abolition, the BEY has put his anti slavery feelings beyond all doubt. The BEY, besid es, is a man of innovatio n and progress, andevery manifestation of the ancient Moorish fana ticism in his territories is immediately quelled by the wisdom and firmness of his admi nistration. It is true the finances of his country are in a wretched condition, brought about by a lavish profusion of gifts and presents to foreigners, as also by a foolish passion of " playing at soldiers," which latter propensity has been fatally encouraged by the French officers in his employ, and by French governmetn intrigues. But eventually this French system of im poverishing Tunis, in order to make it a little more easy prey, can be successfully counteracted by a salutary advice, seasonably administered, to a prince so pacific and enlightened as his Highness. M'e hope the BEY may imitate the frank conduct of inasfirm PASHA, who apt aside all the obstructions of French prerention and etiquette, coming amongst us and enjoying himself like an enlightened and affable citizen of the world. and we ,an'da admissi- s for who t was Lord .him from projects were FREMANTLE, moved all hopes of , ny final • " attention 'portant sub .aportant sea good school of 4., then, of cer at the - - WE will not add, by any lengthened comment, to the very large space which the ample and able letter from our correspondent atLisbon, fills in our columns. From his communication will be seen not only the critical relations in which the contending parties in Portugal stand, but the captious and ill-advised con duct of the court and its present councillors, who seek to implicate and accuse the representatives of the British Government of all kinds of machination and hostility, simply because they refrain from taking open or active part with Marshal SALDANIIA and his absolutist government. NEWS FROM PORTUGAL. --- A summary of the following appeared in our im pression of yesterda_y : SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 10.—The Cyclops, arrived at Southampton, brings the followui.g intelligence from Portugal, which has reached us by express : PROM OrR OWN COREMONDENT. LISBON, Nov. 30. The events of the last ten days at this capital have so far exceeded in significancy and importance those which have occurred at the head-quarters of the two principal corps d'armee, that I shall offer no apology for giving the civil portion of my intelligence pre cedence over the military news which I have to narrate, always premising that nothing decisive or even p o ssessing much interest has occurred since my last, in so far as hostilities are concerned. I think I stated in a former letter the position in which the Duke of Palmella found himself during the period that bad elapsed between his forced se cession from the ministry and the date at which I wrote, viz., the 20th of November. Naturally anxious to disconnect himself from a policy . such as that pur sued by Saldanha and the actual ministers, the duke declined fulfilling his functions of Councillor of State, and even sent in his resignation, which was not then accepted. Previous, however, to this, about the middle of October, he had requested of the minister his passports, with the intention of making DR OLIVEIRA.. a l Most Excellent Sir,—l have received your Excellencre ourney to Cadiz or the south of Euro p e, letter, dated the 21st inst., and the greatest proof of respect an they were acc ordingly granted to him.
