BRITISH AND Yl/REIGN ;MAIMS, TWO (Emmett. ?AIM PSI =AIM. 35 20 74 731 25 71 'lO 94 100 5 5 We have unquestionableuuthority for stating that two emissaries from Don MIGUEL and the Peninsular apos tolicals, have arrived in town, charged with voluminous dispatches for AssEcA and Marshal BzuEsToun ! We also pledge ourselves for the authenticity of the following facts. The Secret Treaty, concluded some time since by the Spanish Envoy MONTALEGRE, and which puts an end to British influence 'in Portugal, has been ratified by the Cabinet of Madrid. One of the first conditions of this compact—to which the POPE has acceded—is the recognition of the usurper. Unless atij , circumstances arising out of the late discomfiture at Terceira shall have prevented it, the recognition was to take place on the 16th inst. Before the departure of the two individuals who have just arrived, MIGUEL and his friends had received assurances of unlimited support from the administration of the Prince DE POLIGN AC : these worthies, however, frankly avowed their inability to decide on the recognition, unless England either ap proved, or led the example. With regard to the nature of the support proffered, it extends to a pledge to send into Portugal any number of troops that may be re quisite to consolidate the usurpation, and to put down — as in the case of Spain—every vestige of freedom. To these particulars, we are unfortunately enabled to add— , and wolikrive the power to do so from a source on which we place implicit reliance—that the ruling faction at Lisbon calculates, with the firmest confidence, on the active co-operation of the Nobie Duke and the Noble Earl. While we are on the subject of Portuguese affairs, we canhot refrain from again alluding to the audacious out rage against the flag and subjects of this kingdom, in the capture of the Vine and Briton by the frigates of the ruffian Mtotret.. If the Noble Earl's " neutrality" ex tends even to the permission of piracy, and pillage of his own Sovereign's lieges, in favour of that protected scourge, it is time—as we said on Saturday—that he be preparing his explanations. We are consoled, nevertheless, in the reflection that this iniquitous policy is hastening to its dose. There is too good an understanding, both in France and in England, for these intelligent nations to be rough ridden by the trigeminal cabinets, in league against the liberties of the world. Non si mak nunc, et °lint sic erit. • _ We cannot dedicate any space to-day to the exposure of our false and profligate contemporary.: but the un blushing deliberacy with which he maintains-40r not to reprobate is to maintain—the cause of violence and usurpation against that of truth, and right, and righteousness, in his remarks concerning the Vine and Briton, is paralleled only by his fellow-slave, the Cou rier. He lets out, however, the following curious obser vation concerning his friend MAIIIICIUD, which is too good to be prietermittted. "If the report in. the Ga zette de France be correct, that the SULTAN has left the terms of peace to be proposed by his enemy, his conduct shows either great confidence, or betrays extreme weakness." Utrum horum, Dominer As if the SULTA w could have any power to propose terms, with his whole empire under occupation ! There is a ruggedness in the style of JERE:et BENT HAM, which renders him always inapt—and frequently inaccessible--to the multitude. But tho perspicacity and profoundness of his views, the vastness of his know ledge—whether in the accumulations of experience, or in t he fitness of their applicability to things—the patience with which he pursues, and the intrepidity with which he proclaims, TRUTH, cannot be rivalled among living men. This pre. eminence over his contemporaries he derives partly from the circumstances which surround him in his seclusion, as contrasted with those that fetter the capabilities of less independent Reformers, and im part even to their purest advocacies an egoistical and worldly colouring—the spirit of compromise and corrupt reservation : but he derives it far more from the complete extirpation of the tielfish feelings, which his powerful and philanthropic philosophy has enabled lihn to effect.— While others are labouring for the gratification of some sordid impulse, or—at the'best—pursuing in public life what the world calls a not unlaudable ambition, for vain glorious, unbeneficial purposes, JEREMY BENTHAM—in the silence of his isolation—sits maturing his "Greatest Happiness principle," and preparing for unborn genera tions, blessings not comprehended by the oblique-minded ness of his own. • We have been led into these remarks, by a hasty perusal of more than one article in the number just pub lished of the Westminster Review—a publicatOss. which during much absence abroad we had not the **stage of reading regularly—though we knew that in it yen developed with great power and persuasion the views,oll doctrines of that illustrious Reformer, That a philo sophy, like BENTHAM'S—not less recommended by the excelling purity of the teacher, than the convincing simplicity of it. 4 rationale—should number among its disciples men of intellect and taste like the Reviewer, is the next happiest contingency after the appearance of that philosophy among us. For, as we observed above, it is garmented by its great founder frequently in such uncouth phraseology, as to make it caviare to all those who love to swallow books without the trouble of masti cation. Aided in its dissemination by such elegant and impressive interpreters, there can be no doubt that its pervasive influence will be proportionate: and as the doctrines themselves only require to be untleFstood, to charm and to be received—at least, by candid natures— we may hope ere long to see them naturalised among the people, and producing fruit to regeneration. We have neither time nor space for the examination of particular articles; but that entitled " BENTHAM, BROUGHAM, and LAW REFORM," is a specimen of masterly and cogent reasoning, which exposes at one glance the rottenness of existing systems, and the futility of partial interference. The article, also, on the " Change of Ministry in France," is equally clever ant luminous : it indagates with much minuteness and feli city the causes at work in that country, of which the effects are beginning to discover themselves not.equiv.o cally in the resolute attitude of the people, and its threat ened resistance to. unconstitutional power—and it points clearly to that consummation, the near approach of which we have ourselves distinctly intimated,—the expulsion of the BOUR Box dynasty. Having paid—as we have been well pleased to do— this hasty and imperfect tribute to the moral eminence of JEREMY BENTIIAM, let it not be understood from it, that we are his undiffering disciples on all points ofixdi-. tical Reform. To the popularisation of suffrage—in his sense and latitude of the phrase—we entertain an irre movable objection : in so far at least irremovable, that we must consent first to remove the foundations of the Constitution. • The Dutch Mail this day brought to a variety of brief notices ; but none of them of much importance. The news from St. Petersburgh is to the 12th inst., and from Odeon to the 4th. By an article in th►e Allge meine Zeitung, of the 22d, we find that the Duke DE LAVAL MONTMORENCY was just about to set out for Paris, on his way to supply tho place of Prince Pomo- NAC in this country. We have no intelligence by this mail from the seat of war. We make the following selections : ST. PETERSBURGH, Sin. 11.

The first of the Terceira squadron, the Amason frigate, re turned to this port on Sunday last, since which all the others have successively drops in, except, I believe, the line•of-battle ship, the Perols frigate, and a corvette and brig of war—nevertheless, the Gement, throughout the whole of the week, never deigned to hint at the disaster, and only today put forth the account I trans mit herewith, in order that the Government may have an excuse 'for punishing any one who may represent the loss greater than the Gareth authorises. But what a defeat! what a discomfiture! the Court and the Ministers are astonished and confounded to an extent that you can form no idea of. At first it was attempted to prevent tbe'soldlers from babbling—but it was impossible ; and while they were drawn up in companies, and resting on their arms, they were asked by the crowds that surrounded them if they would go back again?— hundreds of them called out—go back again !No ! let Hirt go if he likes, and the vane Pate that gave him birth—and that sent us on such an expedition—the fire from the entrench menu was as if hell was 'vomiting forth flames and death— never was destruction seen like it. In short, every one has his miracle and his beast of seven heads to tell of, in order to justify his return with humbled crest, or his want of subordination and refusal to disembark : for to this it is owing that the 16th regi ment is returned nearly as complete as it went—for they were the chief mutineers, and it is probable they will have proved so with impunity, for the Government is afraid either to punish or repri mand them, fearing they might be driven te open rebellion. Colonel Lama, the Military Commander of the Expedition, has twice attempted in vain to see Don Mutest, and now orders have been issued for his being tried by a Court Martial, which he, it seems, also asked for. It is aid, moreover, that orders have been sent to St. Michael's to put Rosa under arrest and tend him to Lisbon. It is a fact that Don hisoom, following the advice of his Mamma, had directed all those who dared at the com mencement to speak of the disaster, to be proceeded against. and one of the prisons in consequence was filled with women, prin cipally the wives or relations of those who bad fallen in the attack ; but they have not dared to persevere, and VIIOA, the Minister of Justice, has, with more tact, directed all assemblages of the people to he dispersed. In short, every one speaks of it, and no one speaks of anything else, audit has become a mat saying in regard to any matter—Eh ! don't you know how it is? go to Vit.t.ri Flak go— ind he will tell you how it is and how it ought to be. The blow thus inflicted on Munn is terrible, for soldiers, sailors, and officers all unite to justify themselves; and in order to avoid being sent back again, say a great deal mere than the Intendant of Police, HAIM% would wish them to do—while the news is fast spreading, through the means of boat men, &c. to every part of the kingdom, and the general revo lution of sentiment, and conversion of opinions, within these eight days past, is beyond conception. Indeed, were the Count, with a few of his brave comrades from Terceira, to land now on the coast, the panic that it would occasion would soon bring to a close the reign of the usurper. If a stranger were here for the first time in his life, he would say Mutates cause is lost for ever; but alas! be must come from China, if he did not know that there exists a Wer.t.nrciron in Eng land, of whom our worthy Moon is but a tool. In the midst of a conflict of opinions on the subject—it Is sublime and delightful to bear a bet recounted and admitted by all that remains of the expedition, namely," that the volunteers and soldiers of Terceira did everytldng in their power to serve us, calling to many by their names, and lending their aid and stretching out their arms and hands to help us up the rocks and over tbe entrench ments; and that if they did not sink all the veuels, including as well the line of battle ship, it was because we were Portuguese, and that they did not wish cur destruction." The lite who said this on his arrival was ; so that, instead of anger and vengeance, they are inspired with gratitude—and all unite in -affirming, that not even with Mi►ty thorsaad men could Terceira be taken. Many of the MipeUte officers are spoken of with great con tempt ; they were actually forced into the boats from on board ship, and the sailors threw many of them into the surf In obliging them to land. Notwithstanding, almost all these cowards carried with them large empty trunks, to fiU with plunder. The total loss is circumstantially ascertained to have exceeded eighteen hundred. CITY. Twar.vs o'CLocK. This day bring a great holiday (New Year's Day) with the He shrews, the principal pan of that p ion are absent from the Stock Exchange; consequently there is but little business doing.

In the foreign market Brazil Stock declined 2 per cent. in this first part of the morning, since which a re-action took place, and they have improved. In other foreign securities little doing. The following Bulle t in has been published at Madrid on the 14th of September : ' "TO THE DIUNDITZO Or FOOIJON A r rims. The Kum our Lord was at Church since ball-past three o'clock, and about five o'clock, - at the period when he was on his 'knees, be fainted away, and in this situation we found him. and he iemained senseless for twenty minutes ; but we have the consola tion to inform your Excellency tbat, by the assistance rendered his Majesty, be recovered again without having suffered Internally." 'When the above information was spread in the capital, various _conjectures were afloat on the event. Sume said that the Kina was attacked by an apoplectic fit. The Apostolic party report that a treaty is on the tapir between Spain and the grand Powers of Europe, as well as with the Brazils. Portugal, according to this treaty, is to be entirely abandoned to Don MIGUEL; and FER DINAND will cede to Donna MARIA GLORIA the pro vinces of Rio de la Plata for her loss of Portugal. From Barcelona, 16th September, we learn that the Spanish Government has sent orders to Count FAPAGNE, to desist from executing persons condemned to death. Accounts from the frontiers of Wallachia, of the 31st August, state, that all the artillery of the siege of Giur geivo had been sent to Shumla ; and that Gen. GEISMAR will receive a reinforcement of 24,000 men by the middle of September. Three extraordinary bulletins have been published at Madrid, on the 13th and 14th of September, relating to his MAJESTY'S health. In the third it is stated his MAJESTY bad a good night's rest, and got up as usual. It is added that the KING is perfectly recovered. Letters from Lisbon Mate, that when the expedition left St. Michael's it consisted of 3,000 men ; and on the 13th August there were only remaining 1,100 men-600 of whom were landed at St. Michael's, 200 at Fatal, and 300 at St. George's, Piso, and Gmciosa ; and amongst which was a number of wounded. Admiral PRIEGO has not dared to appear before Don 114 intim.; and it is stated that when Don MIGVEL heard of the fate of his expedition, he wept, saying, " that he had no Officers he could depend on. " Sunday se'nnight, nine children, of the same family, were cloistered at Freskford Church. THE KING. WINDSOR, SEPT. 27.—Yesterday the KiNG, accom panied by the Hon. Mr. A. STAN HOPE, took an airing for upwards of two hours in his pony phaeton. Yesterday the BISHOP OF CHICHESTER arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had the honour of dining and passing the evening with his MAJESTY. This forenoon his MAJESTY, attended by the Lord STEWARD, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. STANHOPE, Sir AN DREW BARN A RD, and Sir F. WATSON, with other members of the Household, attended Divine Service at the New Chapel Royal. The BISHOP Of CHICHESTER officiated. Yesterday forenoon the Duchess of GLOUCESTER paid a visit to His MAJESTY at the Royal Lodge, and, after a long conference, her Royal Highness partook of some refreshment with the KING, and returned to Bag shot Lodge. This forenoon her Royal Highness PrincessAu tr sT A, accompanied by her Lady in Waiting, attended Divine Service at the parish church. This afternoon, if the weather proves favourable, the KING will take his usual recreative drives, the phaetons being ordered at the usual hour. No time has hitherto been particularly fixed upon fur his MAJESTY'S leaving the Royal Lodge on his intended visit to Brighton. If the weather should prove favour able during the ensuing month, it is not expected that his MAJESTY will leave the Royal Lodge. Thursday last the Royal marquees, erected for his MAJESTY'S aquatic pleasurable entertainments atVirginia Water, were struck. The magnificent furniture was chiefly conveyed to Cumberland Lodge ; the marquees, with all their appendages and bearings, were returned to the Tower. All the pleasure-boats, &c. are likewise housed for the season. The attraction of the bands of the Royal Blues and the First Regiment of Foot Guards, playing every Sunday afternoon on the Castle Terrace, is the grand inducement of the most respectable inhabitants of the environs, and the town (as well as visitors), to congregate there.
