The two Companies we c allowed to enjoy their privileges for thirty-oce yea—•, ii Patliament did not repay them the money That Was not dant, and there fare their en tysi2g , i were heeluueJ to them. if they bad any regat d far puhi;c t . a;L:, they could not—they dared not—artaitk or ta!:e away rho e privileges, without an applicatian to the King in Parliament. Upon that gromid, Mr. PetePe.l, Sir V. Gibbs. the Auot neral, and Sir T. Potater (the Solicidor.Gen,:tal in !Sit)). voted agaio-t :L' 1;t11 brought in by the Globe Insurance Company, to ea aerie 'ern to do that which was now tepti•ed t y t::e Alliaace Company. Ile re-, peate i what those diAinguished per:.ons had said, that the I louse cadd me touch the Chattels of the two pri• vil , .ge.l Coll) ,niez. except through the King in Council. Mr. IL fi NEY thoosOit that no Companies en gaged in L'iQ In-urances aiould be allowed to embark in latiue 1 nstuatices. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER SAW no reasou for so restricting them in that way ; but the ques tion was, whether there should not be a tepeal of the exclusive privileges of the two Companies? They were to have given 300 000/. for them ; but they only paid 111,0001. and if the Crown were called on to recall their Chatter in inn ts, it would be compelled to revoke it altogether. That seemed to be the reason why the application was made to repeal tart of the Chatter. For this reason he should give his vote in favour of the measuce. ..Mr. T. M ILSON thought this one of the most im portant subjects that had been discussed in Parliament for a great leogth of time. Ile was surprised at the • language of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for he could not see why two parts of a bargain should not be equally binding. T!.ete could he ut•thing so absurd as to say that it this mea'ite welt. cat t ICJ , w e should have the insurances of all the woild, far insutance-brokers here were literally skitaning Hints, the tate of the insur ances being so low. The Companies on the Continent had almost all disappeared; and he spoke as a mer chant, and not as a defender of Lloyd's, when he said that they pefer f ed insurances by individuals lather than by:Coinpanics, on account of the division of the ri-ks. Much loss was certainly sustained in 1814, by an extensive embargo of our ve..sels in the ports of a foreign Power. Mr. HUME was of opinion that much more was made of this business tl.an it really &set vcd. At first he had thought these two Companies ought to have their pri vileges preserve.!; but now he considered them as having a lease for thirty-one years, and after that they were merely tenants at will. The posititm in which the Chan cellor of the Exchegoer had put them was the fairest; for he said they tiid nut wish to takeaway thtir charter altogether, but to ;lo•.v other Companies to share with them in matle:s -.k-hich seemed of little benefit to them. Alderman WOOD thete svaa no evi,!ence that the present modes of in.uring wete not tec;ciicial to t!1! Public, anA di.t.tered c•••tty.tni:24 should n,,t be ruittel without bring afforded an opportanity of being heat d in their defence. Alderman THOMPSON opposed the Bill. There was no branch of business in which there was more corn petition than marine insurance. Tile number of under writers, brlceis, and clerks, anioun:ed to about 3,500 persons, who should not be dept ivcd of theii business. Dr. LUSIIIN'iTON stiongly ,iipported the Bills Mr. PLIUMER opro.ied the Bill. The insurance at Lloyd's was perfectly safe; it was given in evidence by Mr. AtiLzerstein, that hi, losi 8,4%00,000i. amounted to no mine than threepence halfpenny per 1001. Mr. LOCKHART" 3uprorteci the bill, because it gave no exclusive atv it; 1,4 e to the Company, but a very great advantage to the Public. Mr. MANNING opi,os , :d the Bill, the pi esent modes of insutinz.; being quite sufficient lor all the purposes of commetce and competition. Air.

" Portuguese !—Yottr King does not abandon you.— i le seeks to deliver you from the tenor and anxiety which prey; upon you ; to le-establish the public tran roiiity, and to tear the veil which still conceAls the t!.00l you, in the certain hope that at his call all this loyal n-itilo will unite to support the tt:roce, and to pia an end to the shock of exalted opinions maid passions, which have produced such a fatal ainc char, and me naced the Government with a total dissoiution. _ _ " My son, the Infant D rn Miguel, who cos ered him self with glo: y a short time ago by the heroic action which he performed, is the same who now, drawn aside by sinister inspirations, and deceived by perfidious coun sels, has proceeded to commit acts, which, if just and necessal y, should alone have emanated from nay save ieiga authority; he has committed an outrage against the Royal power, which admits of no division. " On the 30th of April, in the morning, all die troops of the capital appeared under arms, and my son was seen to leave the Royal palace, to place himseif at their head; and to order, without any-authority of mine, the arbitrary arrest or an immense number of individuals of all classes, invested with the chief powe:s of the State, in whom arc comprised my own Ministers and servants of my household. The palace which I inhabit • was seen surrounded with an armed torce, or rather was transformed into a prison, and all access to my Royal person was barred during several brims. were observed proceedings so violent, that ia the latter :lays they amounted neatly to open rebellion, while all the representatives of the Sovereigns of Europe thought it their duty to protest formally against the violatinu of my Royal authority. " A resolution so rash, and which threatened to lead to consequences the most fatal ; such an abuse of the confidence which I had placed in my son, have found no other explanation or excuse than a supposition of a conspiracy, which, even it it had a:iy foundation, could not have justified such unheard-uf proceedings. " Meanwhile, as I desired, even at the price of the greatest sacrifices, ro preserve the public tranquillity,and the harmony that reigned among all branches of the Royal Family, I was pleased, by my decree of the 3d instant, to order that all Judges should be appointed to proceed legally against the accused, and to pardon my son for the exces,es of jurisdiction which be had com mitted, in the hope that the just course of the laws being thus re-established, revolutionary measures would cease, and good order would gradually re-appear. I obtained nothing of that which my paternal heart desired with anxiety. On the contrary, the arrests continued, as like wise the orders issued-in the name of my son, and signed for the most part by obscure individuals, who have no share in the Government. " Determined to put an end to this public scandal, and to the deprecation of my outraged authority—out raged to the manifest detriment of my faithful subjects, and finding no means of making known my Royal will, because I was surrounded by the factious per sons who deceived my son, and who, en the 30:h of April, had deprived me of my liberty, I formed the tes&tition to avoid a struggle of which the issue could not be doubtful,. considering the known fideli:y of the Portu guese nation, to go on board a Biitish line-of •battie ship, at anchor in this port (where I have been followed by the representatives of the Sovereigns of Europe). in order that I might frankly make known to my loyal , subjects my situation, and call them, if necessary, to my defence. " Having heard the counsel of my Ministers, of per sons of wisdom, fearing GOD and actuated by a zeal for my service, I have resolved to resume the authority of Generalissimo of my Royal Armies, and to dismiss the Infant Don Miguel from the Command-in-Chief of the Army, with which I had invested him; forbidding all the authorities, and all and each of my subjects, to' obey the circlets of the said Waist, or those given in his name, under pain of being treated as rebels to the Royal pow er,u hich appei tains, by the ;race of Goo,to rhe alone. j " Portuguese !—Such are the first measures which I • took. I then employed myself in giving proper orders to' set at liberty the innocent who ate involved in there arbi tiary proscriptions, as well as to punish those who may be really culpable as implicated in the manceuvres of secret assi.ciations, against which pioceediags shad be in ;tinned according to the existing laws. Thus virtue aid loyalty will be set at liberty, and crime will be punished. Soldiers!—l do not reproach you with anything which you have done. You have obeyed the voice of the Chief oe horn I placed over yon, and in doing so you have only psu formed your duty. That Chief, without experience, has been involuntarily led astray by perfidious counsels, entirely against his natural character and his filial obe dience. I have taken from him the authority which perveise intriguers, without any public character, had led him to abuse. I order you to acknowledge only my Royal authority, in virtue of which I enjoin you to make no use of the arms intrusted to your fidelity but in my service, and in obeying the Chiefs which my Royal will has confirmed or appointed. " By this Proclamation I confirm in the exercise of authority those who ate invested with it, so far as I do not order the contrary; and I command all and every one to shew the strictest obedience to whatever shall be' prescribed in my Royal name by those who may hence forward command you. " Subjects of all classes, observe order, and hope from your Sovereign the re-establishment of public tranquil lity, of justice, and security.

" Fur the last three days our unfortunate Monarch sought to escape from the keeping of the wretches who were pushing his son deeper and deeper into the abyss. Twice the project had failed; but yesterday, at last, at one o'clock, the King, under the pretence of going to one of his country seats, found means to embark with the two Princesses his daughters. The French and English Ministers had contrived the execution of the plan. The former arrived on hoard with his Majesty: everything had been prepared to let the Diplomatic Body, who had strongly urged the King to take that step, have timely knowledge of the success of the enterprize. " The Prince obeyed his father's order, and came on heard. His perfidious ceuri,ellors took flight. The most perfect calm reigned throuydiout the city, and the liveliest joy was displayed by all classes. " The Infant has received, in the presence of the Di plomatic Body, his father's pardon. He confesses that , he has been deceived and has followed treacherous ad vice. It is probably intended to make him travel, but no one wishes to irritate him.

In the STAR of yesterday, we gave, exclusively, t:,e first Official account of the more recent events at Lisbon, on the authority of dispatches to our Government, and the Lisbon Gazette which w<e had received. The lase hour at which we received the Lisbon Papers, pre vented us from doing more than giving an outline, (though a correct one), of the dcicuments they contained; and we now, thercfoie, give a translation of them at length, together with a private letter from one of the French Journals. It is evident that the lenity of the King towards hi.; son,the Infant Dos MIGUEL, has been abuse.), aad %a tiered measures of a more severe nature necessary : hence his Majesty removed him from the d::ngcro•u office of Generalissimo of the Portuguese Army, the command of sk Lich he has assumed himself, and rct given it to Mat steal BERESFORD, as was stated in some of the Papers. The Marshal has strong claims on the gratitude of the Portuguese, particularly the army, which he sn ufien led to glory ; but as giving him the command might have afforded a ground of discontent among partisans of Don MiGuec, it is perhaps politic that measure has not been resorted to—though there is a guarantee in the honour of our distinguished country man, that he would have faithfully discharged Cie itr.. portant trust, lad it been confided to him. No event in the New World, since its first discoverr, is so important as the prospect of its being speeci!y open to European commerce on principles of free trade and reciprocal advantages. To Great Britain, under any circumstances, this must be a highly desirable ob ject ; and although delicacy towards the European Powers may delay the formal recognition of the inde pendence of the New States of South America, yet both countries possess nearly if not all the advantages of that recognition, without some inconveniences which miLht attend it. We are this day enabled to present our Readers with an authentic statement of the extent of our trade with South America, by which it will be seen that in the years 1801, 180'2, and 1803, we did rot export goods to the value of a shilling to this east continent ; in the year 1821 our exports to South America were upwards of Once millions sterling, and last year they amounted to the immense sum of 5.802435/. of which the w;:o . e, with the exception of 153,6661. was of Briti:Ji Dish produce and manufactures.
