~• IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. went also, and six pieces of artillery. This is Don Miguel's first expedition against what he is pleased to call the revolters of Oporto. 1 ". • s I have received intelligence, from authority which I cannot doubt, that the Constitutional troops have already advanced within thirty leagues•of Lisbon : they neither want arms nor money, and did they want them, there are both, which have long been ready, and only required the necessity to be put into the hands of the Con stitutionalists. Some of the money is actually por timed off for particular purposes. One part is for the taking of. Fort St. Julian. This evening, just as the Doke of York steamer was aboot to take her passengers on board, two armed Portuguese boats e came alongside and commenced an examination of each percon as h came on boat d. As violence wa s dreaded, this circum stance was made known to Captain S a rtorius, of his Majesty's ship Pyramus, wko instantly sent off a couple of his boats, which remained alongside until the Duke sailed, and then one accompanied her outside Belem Castle, and, as there was nothing then to fear, returned. MAY 28.—Arrests follow arrests. Shopkeepers, householders, men of all stations and sizes—even a hunchbacked boy of 15, has been,imprisoned to-day. A highly respectable man, one of the most upright Judges in Portugal, was seized on Monday night coming out of the Opera, and conveyed to the marine prison in the tower of Bugio, where, although old and in an l infirm state of health, he will be kept below the sea- 1 water for, perhaps, the remainder of his life. Such is Don Miguel's mercy to Pedro de Mello Brayner. The only accusation is his libet ality and his love for Portu gal. Others are taken up for vat ions reasons, such as suspicion of sending money to Oporto, or receiving horn thence Proclamations. The Conde de Ficallo has been imprisoned for his free opinions; he is a young man of talent and good con duct. A great chase has been made after the old Archbishop of Elvas, but he has contrived to elude his pursuers. Several prisoners have been removed at night from the gaols to the tower of St. Julian. As for the troops in Lisbon, the Government of the Absolute Don Miguel has now no controul over them, although these regiments constitute their only farce. They are as follows-Ist, 4th, 7th, and 19th regiments of Infantry, of whom the t wo first, being tar the strongest, cannot be depended on by Don Miguel for two hours. The only cause of their not breaking out is the want of officers. On the cavalry here no reliance can be placed. The Ist and 4th have declared that they would not fight. The reasons are as follow—Their Colonels obtained a promise from Don Miguel that no officer should be changed in their regiments ; and then exacted a promise from the officers, not to turn against Don Miguel. 4‘ We will neither- fight for nor against' him" was their reply. The sth is decidedly Constitu tional since the affair at Evora; and the 7th, a part of which went on Sunday's expedition; is strongly inclined to the same side. The power, therefore, of the absolute. Prince and his Government is confined solely to his body of select Police, which is already, from overwork, almost without the power to breathe. The whole of his Police may be about 2,000 men, and of the tee Ments about 2,000 more. The English Ambassador has an assembly of Foreign Ministers at his house to day. By the packet which arrived on Monday from Falmouth, instructions ate stated to have been received from Earl Dudley, in which it is declared that Don Miguel is considered by the English Government to have forfeited his honour; and that 'it will sot recognise bins as King nor as Re gent, but only such as his brother appointed him.

Mr. DICK presented a Petition from the Inhabitants et the Borough of Maidon, against any further Concessions to the Ca. tholics.—Laid oa the table. SUPPLY. Mr. A. GRANT brought up ;he Report of the Committee of Supply. On the motion that the first Resolution of the Committee be agreed to. Mr. HUME said, chat the House was called upon by that Iteso.ution to agree Loan increase of 40.000/. in the Civil List. This was alleged to be for the purpose of paying the Mezican4 Buenos Ayres, and others, of our South American Ministers. He thought, however, that those Embassies Mete upon too extravagant a scale. Mr. DA‘.% SOS said, that sine+ the discussion the other night, the Chencellor of the Ezchl'quer had made a most rigid inquirf as to the expense of these Depart swats, and he could assure the Hon. Member, that the almost attention should be.paid to reducing this branch of the expenditure within the narrowest limits possible. Mr. HUME said, he observed a charge of upwards of 3001. for legal expenses incurred in defending sonic Officers is Barbadoes. He wished to be informed upon what ground those Officers had been defended at the Odic expense. Iit...DAWSON said, that actions had been brought against au Officer, for something he had done iu the, amities of-his duty.

The other Resolutions of the Committee were then agreed to without opposition. STAMP DUTIES IN INDIA. Mr. HUME moved for a Return of the Amount of Stamp Duties collected in India, in the the yearsemoria 1823 l , 1824, 1825, and 1826 —and a Copy of M from the London Merchants to the Court of Directors in February last, respecting the Stamp Tax, and of the answer of the Court to the same. The Honourable Gentleman said, that his object in procuring those Re turns was to show the manner in which the natives of India were oppressed by law proceedings. Indeed they were as badly off as if they were in the Court of Chan cery in England. He also wished to call the'attention of the House to the enormous expense of collecting the Stamp Duties in India. The expense of collectionitem. ex ceeded tour per cent .—and it appeared from which had been laid on the table, that where 150,0001. had been levied, 67,0001. was expended in the collec tion. When these returns were laid on the table, it was his (Mr. Hume's) intention to submit a motion to afford some relief to the people of India. Lord ASHLEY did not concur in the accuracy of the calculations put forward by the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, but he believed there was no objection on the part of his Majesty's Government to the Returns which had been moved for. The Returns were then ordered. c amiss 1. LAW rN INDIA. Mr. WYNN, after a few observations, recommending the extension to India of the improvements in vari th ous Acts,e Criminal moved Law which bad been e ff ected io this country b y for leave to bring in a Bill to improve the Administration of dux. tice in India. Mr. FERGUSON bore testimony to the necessity for some such measure as that which his Right Honourable Friend was about to introduce. After a few words from Sir E. Hrns Easy, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Mr. WYNN also obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the Re lief of Insolvent Debtors in the East Indies. Mr. HUME moved for a Return of the Amount of Fees, Sa laries, and Emoluments of the Principal Registrar of the Preroga tive Court of Canterbury in each of the years 1827 and 1828 ; as also a similar Return respecting the inferior officers of the Court. Mr. W. SMITH supported the motion. Dr. PHILLIMORE vindicated the character of the Court, but admitted that the office of the Principal Registrar was a proper sub ject of Parliamentary iiivestigation.—Retui ns ordered. The Rights of Executors Bill went through a Committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. Colonel DAVIES took an opportunity to declare hie strong re probation of he conduct of the Governtnect in bringing no the Report of the Supply before five o'clock, when he was DC in the House. The other Orders were disposed of, and the Noose adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, 'JUNE 5, 1828. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols are shut to-day, in consequence of which the market remains firm at present. Consols opened this morning at 861, went up to 861 87, and at present may be quoted at 861 1. Mexican Stock has fallen two per cent. owing to the unfavour able accounu from that quarter. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The prints letters from Mexico this morning to the 27th March, are of a various description—some are more favourable than others but most of them agree that no money is coming to pay the divi. dends, and it appears that the Scylla will only bring 360,000 dollars from Vera Cruz, and 200,000 from Tampico to this . country for merchants; but when the accounts left Mexico all was quiet. Padre Martine has been sentenced to be shot.. He was con cerned in the conspiracy of Arenas. Sdine letters state, that money is to be sent to pay the dividends, by the Valorous, but this is i doubtful. Consols have been fluctuating dating the morning, between 863 1 and 86/ 87 i at present may be quoted 861, alternately buyer; and sellers, with scarce any business doing. In the Foreign market, Mexican Bonds had fallen to 353, since which they have again improved to 361. PRICE OF STOCKS AT TWO O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 2081 India Bonds 97 5 per Cent.

The principle of the measure was settled cluting Lord LIVERPOOL'S administration; and it seems incum bent on all who concur in that principle, to support the Resolution now under discussion. Sir JAMES Gamins/ i s speech, though not wanting in talent and information, contained several fallacies on the general effects of a Paper Currency. It assuredly was never the meaning of Hustz, within whose autho rity Sit JAMS!, so firmly entrenched himself, that it was the policy of a nation to keep up a fictitious capital, for the purpose of increasing an artificial credit. The maxim of the Historian, as far as we can understand the Essay on Money, was this—that a state of things where the precious metals (viz. Gold and Silver—not Paper) were increasing, owing to the activity of the spirit of in dustry in the nation, and to the increase of the stock of labour, was a state of prosperity ; and that as money is the sign of •aloe, so the general increase of it is a test of he augmentation of national wealth. Sir JAMES forgot the former pact of the Essay, which condemns paper credit ; and in the latter part the precious metals, and paper, are spoken of. until has made me entertain great doubt concerning the benefit .1 banks and paper credit," says Hunt. " That provisions and labour should become dear," he adds, " by the increase of trade and money, is an Inconvenience compensated by the advantages which we reap from the possession of these precious metals, and the weight which they give the nation in enfant's% wars and °noels dons ; but there appears no reason for increasing that inconvenience by a counterfeit soney,which foreigners will not accept in payment and which any great diyorder in the State will recluse to nothing. To endeavout ,artificiairy to inereile such a credit can.never be the interest of iny trading nation ; but Must tay them under disad. vantage•, by increasing money beyond it/ natural proportion to labour and commodities, and thereby heightening their price to the merchant and manufacturer." It is plain, therefore, that the weight of Httstes an. thority is not in the scale of the One Polind Notes; neither is that, we are happy to see, of Mr. BARING and other eminent com mercial men. At the largest calculation, the country notes under £5. now in cir culation do not amount to two millions and a half. The withdrawal of them will have a very trifling, if any, effect on prices ; indeed, the mischief antici pated from the Act of 1826 would have been already dose—four millions of notes having been withdrawn in anticipation of next April. The assertion of Mr.'Gour.• BURN, that the thirty millions of gold and silver now floating are sufficient for the wants of the country, is incontrovertible; and we have great reliance on the firmness of Ministers, who, we trust, will not be driven by clamour into a Committee, which would give hopes of reprieving the sentence of the one-pound notes, now calmly resigned to their fate. The French Papers of Tuesday leave the question as to the authenticity of the late Russian Bulletins pre cisely as it was. Not one of the articles from Vienna say a word upon the subject ; and it is even asserted in the Austrian Observer, that the Danube had not been passed, and would not be crossed till after the arrival of the Emperor NICHOLAS. The French Government appears to be as much puzzled about the matter as we are, and all its own Journals can do is, to recommend patience till authentic infor mation be received. By the Flanders Mail we have received this morning the Nuremburg Correspondent to the 29th ult. being of two days liter date than that from which we copied the, Russian Bulletin. It states that no later intelligence from the theatre of war in the East had been received in that city. The same Journal, on the authority of the Augsburg Gazette, mentions a vet y imp:obable event—that of the city of Smyrna having been cannonaded and nearly destroyed by tie Allied squadrons, for some insult offered to the crew of a Russian frigate. The folloWing are extracts : • NUREMBURG, MAT . 27. No later accounts from the theatre of war in the Eas t have been received here. Augsburg Papers contain, however, the following intelligence, respecting the truth or falsehood of which we do not pretend to decide. Letters from Corfu, of 13th May, announce as official, but without giving the date, the following statement : that a Russianfrigate had put into a port near Smyrna, to make some necessary repairs, on which the populace had collected and killed some of the crew. The Rus sian Captain immediately demanded satisfaction of the Pacha, but received instead new insults, on which he immediately put to sea, but in a short time returned with a number of Russian, English, and French ships, and with their assistance cannonaded the city in such a manner that a great part of it was wholly destroyed.— Nuremburg Correspondent, May 28. VIENNA. 'AIAy 24. The Austrian Übserver of this date contains the Decree of the Emperor of Brazil abdicating the throne of Portugal in favour of his daughter. The Austrian Observer of the last two days contains extremely long accounts taken from the Courrief de Smarne, respecting the evacuation of the island of Scio by the Greeks. A letter from Colonel Fabvier to Captain Lalande, speaks with great indignation of the conduct of ►he Magistrates (Demogrontes) of Scio, and • declares that they endeavoured to prevent the troops from re treating, by sending away all the vessels, in order that • they might be destroyed by the Turks—in order to conceal their islamous conduct, or applying to their own use the provisions, ammunition, and money, sent for the troops. We have also. by the same conveyance, Brusselsl Papers of yesterday's date. The following are the most important of their contents : BRUSSELS, Mar 31. The Staats Courant of the 30,h contains a Decree of his Majesty, ordering the official publication of the treaty of amity, navigation, and commerce, concluded at London, between the kingdom of the Netherlands and Mexico. This treaty, signed at London the 15th June, 1827. by Messrs. Falck and Sebastian Camacho, is published in the Dutch and Spanish languages. It consists (besides an additional article) of 14 articles, the first two of which stipulate perpetual friendship and reciprocal liberty of commerce between the Governments and subjects of the two States, with all the privileges enjoyed by the most favoured nations, or which may be granted to them in future. J UN E I.—We are assured that Officers of the Water. staat are named to go to Panama. It is well knou n that the Government of the Netherlands has opened a negociation, with a view to make a canal across the isthmus of Panama, which would form a communica tion between the Atlantic and the Pacific. JUNE 2.—Messrs. de Berloai and Aveleer, bearer of dispatches from the Legation of Brazil, at Paris, to the Minister at the Court of the Netherlands, arrived here yesterday. The Chevalier Almeida and Chevalier Sylva, with dispatches from the Brazilian Legation at London, have also arrived here, on their way to Vienna. JUNE 3.—The Emperor of Russia arrived at Ismail on the 18th of May. FRANKFORT, MAY 25. The Polish army, whose head quarters are at Lublin, has not removed from its cantonments. A letter from Agram says, 6 , Travellers who arrive from Wallachia assure us that the Turks, notwithstand ing all that has been said, have assembled a very large force on the left bank of the Darittbe."—Brasseia Pa pers, June 4, THE ICING.
