The intelligence of His MAJESTY'S illness, which we last night gave in a Second Edition of this Paper, has excited the deepest interest in every quarter. Our Letters from Windsor, received at an early hour this morning, state that on going to bed, at twelve o'clock last night, the KING was considerably better, and his complaint gradually subsiding. At half-past two o'clock this day, Sir Haw RT . HA L now arrived in town from Windsor, and called on the Secretary for the Home Department, and at the Trea sury, and the Foreign Office. We understand that no Bulletin has been issued this day at Windsor, nor will there be till Sir H. HALIPORD returns to the Palace. His MAJISTY, we rejoice to learn, passed a favourable night. Despatches were this day received at the Foreign Office from Malta, Morocco, Tripoli, and Sierra Leone. The despatches from Sierra Leone are dated the 23d of February. A more attentive perusal of the article in which the " official organ" of the MIGUELITE faction lately en deavoured to decry the establishment of the Rao ENCY at Terceira, has induced us to refer, more promptly than we had intended, to the Manifesto, from which we gave a brief extract a few days since. We can desire no more perfect refutation of the anti-monarchical principles which the Milree-Journal put forth on the occasion to which we allude, than a reference to the authentic docu ments by which every statement of that manifesto is sus tained, affords ; and we shall, therefore, in all future discussions of the subject, make the Journal our " Text Book," and proceed to argue the case upon the premises which he has laid down, supporting our arguments by the incontrovertible evidence of these State Papers.— The stupid buffoonery with which the " victim of consti tutional freedom and loyalty" affects to ridicule the mo tives of Don PEDRO, is too contemptible for reprehen sion ; and . though it may excite the laughter of the Vice- Count, and induce him to relax his purse-strings somewhat more ungrudgingly than he has done of late, it passes us by, with all the angry menaces of the traitorous crow, but "as the idle wind which we regard not." But when the tool of the usurping faction dares to sneer at the legitimate rights of the QUEEN, whose diadem has been so villainously filched from her ; and presumes to mention her in such terms as " the Princess MARIA DA GLORIA whom he (the Emperor) styles Queen of the Kingdom ;" we are bound at once to expose this mon strous perversion of truth and justice, by showing that the right of her Majesty to the succession has been most unequivocally admitted by all the European Powers—by the Usurper himself—by his most guilty partisans—and by the Portuguese nation. Immediately after the decease of Don JOHN VI. a Deputation was despatched from the Provisional Government of Portugal to the Emperor Don Pv.utto ; whose duty it was to condole with his MAJESTY upon the death of his father—whom they styled " the true Father of his People ; "—to express the consolation which the nation derived under such a bereavement, from the hope of seeing the throne occupied by his MAJESTY, who " was happily called thereto by the order of succession," and whom they looked upon as " the restorer of the pros perity and glory of the monarchy ;" and the Deputation wet; further charged to address the following supplication to' Don PEDRO :-=‘ This brave and faithful nation deserves to witness the accomplishment of a hope so well founded; but if that boon—the jwsoaal government of your MA• JtsTY—whichis so ardenAlk desired, can not be obtaine4; —at least the next great blessing which they anti cipated was that their King would send to them, as THEIR QUEER, his eldest daughter Donna Ms Kis 11, in whose person the illustrious dynasty of Bmganza should be perpetuated."• In conformity with the wishes of his people, and " having, (►imself,) judged it incompatible with the interests of the Brazilian Empire and of the Por tuguese Nation that he should continue King of Portu gal, the Alprves, and their dependencies," the Emperor Don PE ono abdicated his European dominions " in fa vour of his well-beloved and much cherished daughter the Princess of Grand Para, Donna MARIA DA GLORIA, who, in quality of Queen Regnant, will govern those king doms as a State detached from the Brazilian Empire"t This act of abdication received the concurrence and im mediate sanction of all the crowned heads of the Conti nent, whilst Austria and England were made parties to the arrangement, and guarantees for the fulfilment of its conditions. The oath by which Don MIGuEL bound himself to execute his functions as Regent of the kingdom, and Lieutenant of the KING, his brother, and of the QUEEN, his niece, is to the following purport : " I swear fidelity to their Majesties, Don PEDRO IV. and Donna MARIA 11. kgitimate Sovereigns of Portugal, and pledge myself to deliver up the government of the kingdom to the Queen, Donna MARIA 11. as soon as she shall have attained the age of majority. I swear equally to maintain the Apostolic and Roman Catholic re. neon, and the Integrity of the kingdom ; and to respect, and cause to be respected, the political Constitution of the Portuguese nation, and the other laws of the kingdom ; and to protect the general wel. fare oflbe nation to the Lest of my power:: In the Marriage Contract signed at Vienna, on the 29th of -October, 1826, and witnessed by the Emperor FRANCIS, and the Arch-Dukes, the contracting parties were respectively styled, " Her Most Faithful Majesty Donna MARIA 11. Queen of Portugal," and " His Se rene Highness the Infant Don Alio v The Ad dress of the Chamber of Peers to Don MIGUEL, on the occasion of signing this very contract, expressly states: " AU the Kingdom reckons amongst the most fortunate events for which it is indebted to Providence, the marriage contract which has just been celebrated between Her Mat Faithful lifolest, DOOM MANIA 11. and the august person of your Higbnevs. It seer in AU contract, the guarantee of thefundainental laws of the Monarchs, and the continuation of the royal authority in A* Royal Family of Bragansa, which for ages bag been the constant object of its wishes and of its gratitude. It sees the Succession of the Throne henceforth assured; and with h, the peace and pros. perky of the interior, and the most solid friendship, and the highest consideration of foreign nations." The first signature attached to this address was that of " Duc DR CADAVAL."-411 his reply, the Infant MI Gun., says " I have before me the letter which you, worthy Peers of the Bing. don, have collectively addressed to me, congratulating me upon the happy occasion of the solemn celebration of the marriage contract into which Her Mod Faithful Majesty Dom(A MARIA H. has entered with me. This fortunate union, in which, as you so justly observe, the fundamental laws of the Afossarehy:leave bens re. gala, by perpetuating the royal authority in the august house of Braganca, and fulfilling the paternal and prudential wishes of my illustrious brother and Sovereign, as well as nip own desires, will—with the aid of the Most High 1-preserve the peace of Ike Kingdom, and the prosperity of the loyal Portuguese Nation.... The congratulations which you, worthy Peers, have addressed to me, on so joyful an event, have filled my heart with the mod finely pleasure and gratitude:l Such are the testimonials which the Provisional Go vernment of Portugal—the Peers of that Kingdom—the Father, and the Grandfather of the young Queen—and even the Usurper himself, have placed upon record, as the most unequivocal sad irrefutable proofs of Her Majesty's legitimate right to the Throne of her ancestors ; and yet, we find a paid and pensioned scribbler hardy enough, in a land of constitutional liberty, to compromise his own cha racter and to invalidate his own advocacy of the great principle of monarchical prerogative, by attempting to re pudiate claims which all the world acknowledged—till by a fool and monstrous conspiracy, and by the most odious act of usurpation that ever disgraced the history of civi lized nations, the triumph of Treason was accomplished, and the cause of Legitimacy insulted and betrayed. Chairman of the Sessions to shame for his amiable weak ness and credulity, but also of chewing the world that if Mr. CON ST could be wrong in the exercise of his dis cretion, he, Mr. HALLS, could be wrong and ridiculous, without any discretion at all ; and accordingly, when the case of the boy, John Scandall, was yesterday laid before him, he observed that " a more ingenious robbery be had never heard of, performed, too, by one of Mr.CousT's innocent babes, who were incapable. of committing felo nies. The idea was perfectly ridiculous." And when Sir R. 131 an I a, more temperately and decorously remarked, that " the child certainly disproved Mr. COMM'S impression," and asked " what was to be done with him ?" Mr. HALLS replied, " Oh, pack hint up in a band box, and send him with our compliments to Mr. CON ST, to dispose of him as be shall think fit." This language, and this mode of exer cising his judicial functions, may be very proper in the estimation of Mr. HALLS ; but " though it may make the unthinking laugh," it must " make the judicious grieve." There is nothing, in our opinion, in the most grotesque absurdities of Dogberry, more calculated el of justice into contempt. CITY. TN ELT Y. O'CLOCK. Our domestic information has entirely set aside this day all other news. His Majesty's Indisposition is the only topic of conversation in the City this morning, and has caused a great anxiety and bustle, both on Change and at the Stock Exchange. It was not till late in the afternoon, and when the business in the house was over, that this unhappy information was known. Consols left off in the market at 93i, but at the North and South American Coffee house, at seven o'clock in the evening, Consols were done at 91f. This morning they opened at 92, and are at present 921 j foe the Account, and next time 92i buyers. The confusion in the house was very great. The public are waiting with great anxiety for fur. thee information limn Windsor, and pest hopes are entertained that his Majesty is not in so dangerous a state as first reported. The foreign market at present is void of interest. Singapore papas to the 15th November, Montreal to the Bch of March, and Quebec to the 7th of March, have been received at the North and South American Codes House. From the Singapore Price Current:— Coorme--Several parcels have changed hands, varying accord ing to the barter from 8 to 9 dollars per psreel. CASSIA is arriving in great quantities from China, about SOO parcels have been bartered for:; 300 parcels of tin,, and 500 parcels at 16 dollars each. Onux.—The Colonel Young imported 10 chests of Louisas da maged Patna, which were immediately sold at 480 dollars per chest. The Merops impacted three chests of Malwa from China, which had been bartered at 980 per chest. For sheeting copper at 44, and tin, 171 per picul. The accounts from China are very distressing. Patna 845 ; Banns, 825 ; Malys, 085 to 880 ; Stock on hand at Macao and Linton, 8,800 chests. By the American Papers received this morning to the 17th tak. it appears from Mexico of the 3d Feb. that tranquillity esiCl through the Republic, excepting in the State of Yucatan. Minister of Finance had addressed the Chambers in a hag Massdat, representing_ the deficiency of the Treasury, and shewines mew city of obtaining funds for the defence of the Republ which is threatened by an invasion from adventurers from the North, who are protected by the United States. This is supposed to bee rwar on the pan of the Minister to obtain money, as the adventurers an supposed to be only a banditti. Accounts from Colombia, of the 92d Feb. state that General Sucre, President of the Congress, made a reply to the address of Bolivar, in which be says that the abdication of Bolivar could not be accepted, as he made a solemn promise to continue the exercise of the Supreme Authority. A letter from Puerto Cabello of the 10th March, states that two emissaries had reached Valencia from Bogota, fee the purpose of inviting General Pass to an interview with Bolivar. By letters from Kingston it appears that large parties of the Ames Han troops at Sackett's Harbour, have lately deserted to the British side. The Quebec Papers state that his Excellency's 'message relative to Comminutes In the district is referred to a Committee. bring the administration RALF.PAST ONE. Late letters from the Ilavannah state, that the trade of that city was extremely dull, the place bring overstocked with produce, and the port was crowded with empty vessels waiting for the sugsz.crop. No flanks preparations were making to repeat the invasion of Sink°, Geis there any probability that another will be attempted immediately. If any should be made, not less than eighteen to twenty thousand men will be seat from Spain. Up to the present time we have no olkisl accounts in the City with regard to his Majesty's iskerdisar but report states he is better, in consequence of which the Ossell Market has materially improved. In the early part of the meralng they were 954, at pre. sent they are 22 sent the Money, and Are May 03j; as yet the settling of Accounts are going of well, and we do not hear of any dekalters. In the Foreign Market all Securities which were erected by the midden fall of Camels yesterday, have again rallied this morning. TERCEIRA, MARCH 18. Froth the Private Correspondence of the Morning Herald. My last will have informed you of all worth knowing up to that date. I have now to acquaint you that, about tea days since, three vessels of war made their appearance of this island (a frigate, brig, and a small ptht). It was the general opinion here previously, that we should not be troubled any more by these gentry, in cause. quince of their not having appeared all the winter. However, hers they are, hovering round the island, and what yon will think an extraordinary circumstance, no less than eight vessels have ar. rived within these eight days, in the face of this blockade, without meeting the slightest opposition oe hindrance from any of the vessels cruising round the island. The impression Isere is, that they do not wish to prevent any vessels from entering the port. And, indeed, it is impossible to suppose otherwise, considering the fineness of the mother, coupled with the circumstance of the vessels ea. tiring at a ll hoses of tbe day ; one in particular, the Hope, Dalrymple, of Liverpool, was boarded SS miles of the Mod e and conveyed within seven miles of the bay of Anglo, and din told that he must not enter, but proceed to ToyaL Both vessels wine in hoot of the Bey in the afternoon ; the frigate lay to, with ha sails to the mast, and saw the schooner enter, without the slightest attempt to hinder her. The masters of all th e vessels here say, it is impossible they can really mean to blockade the port.

His MAJESTY, we regret to state, has experienced, during the last few days, an attack of indisposition. The KIN 3 took an airing on Monday for some time. During the night, his MA JESTY became indisposed : Sir 11.11Az.roan,who was in &louden.. at the Palace that evening, and who, according to his usual practice, slept there, left the Palace on Tuesday morning, and came to town, but thought it advisable to return to Windsor in the evening. &- H. came to town on Wednesday morning, and again returned to the Palace, when, finding that the Itzwo's attack of illness had in. creased, Sir HENRY sent for Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY Sr an early hour yesterday morning. Sir MATTHEW immediatelyleft town • on his arrival at the Palace the two medical gentlemen held a con. sultation on the state of the Krim, and afterwards issued the follow. ing bulletin, a few minutes before one o'clock " Windsor Castle, Aptil 15. " We regret to state that the Kum has bad a bilious attack, sc. axnpanied by an embarrassment in breathing. His BIAJILSTY, al though free from fever, is languid and weak. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHRW JOHN TIERNEY." No alteration taking place in the state of the Kum, Sir Hume HALFOID, shortly after the issuing of the Bulletin, left the Castle in his carriage and four for London. Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY remained in attendance on His MAJESTY during the whole of yes. I today afternoon and evening, and it was arranged would sleep at the Palace. His libussrir remaining much in the same state de. ring the afternoon, Sir MENET was not sent for, but would, it was expected, remain in town during last night. The celebration of His MAJESTY'S birthday, the levee, and the diswing-roon, are, in consequence of his indisposition, postponed for a fortnight. The Duke of WELLINGTON, shady after his arrival, was Intro duced to the presence of his MAJESTY, and had an audience of an hour, when it was thought expedient to postpone the Levee and Drawing-Room for a fortnight. His Once left the Castle about half-past two o'clock on his return to the metropolis. Count Muir. STEE arrived at one o'clock yesterday, and had an audience of his MAJESTY for nearly an hour ; and after partaking of refteshoseats, led! the Castle at three o'clock for London. Sir W. KNIGHTON also left Windsor this morning. The Duke of WELLINGTON left town about four o'clock yesterday afternoon for Windsor. His Grace would, it was expected, afterwards proceed to Stratheldsay. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE gave a grand dinner yesterday at their residence, in Bushy-park, to a patty of the Nobility and ()entry. The band of the Coldstream Guards were in attendance in the evening. Yesterday morning the Princess VicrostiA, accom panied by her attendants, visited the Panorama, in Leicester-square, of Sybil and Calcutta. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had an inter view yesterday with the Duke of WELLINGTON. Mr. HERRIES left town yesterday for TunbridgeWells. The Duchess of WELLINGTON has been confined for some time, by indisposition, at Stratfieldsay, which increased so much on Wednesday as to confine her Orate to her bed. A cm. munication to this effect was sent or by express to the Duke of WELLINGTON early yesterday morning. The Duke in constr. quence sent off Dr. > u am, from London, to attend the Duchess.

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—We recommend all persons—whether Remmers or Aoti-Reformers—to read the De claration of the Birmingham Political Council with care and with out prejudice. It has been adopted, after due deliberation and discussion, by the Coventry Political Union, while the Radical Re form Association of London have formally resolved to " repudiate' h. They think it does not go far enough, and that it at. tacks the principles on which Reform should be sought for. The Declaration said nothing whatever of these principles: it neither avowed or disavowed them : it merely stated that the Marquis of BLANDIPOLD . II Bill embraced all that we are legally and constitu tionally entitled to, alai the Political Council does not want or wish to advance a single step beyond the pale of Constitutional righta.— We confess that the " repudiation " of the London Reformers does somewhat surprise us. Men would hate imagined that they, and all true friends to the cause, would have rejoiced at the clementines of a manure bein ted to which—as a sort of neutral ground In political op tending parties might safely meet, and agree to forget those particulars in which they could not coincide; and which, in themselves, and of them selves, are of little comparative importance, when placed In the be. lance against just and undeniable rights. Such do we conceive the Marquis of Blandford's bill to be. We think it admirably adapted to unite in one common opinion all men, except mere borough mongers and plowmen. It might not, it is true, be sufficiently strong for some persons, bat it might as certainly be too strong fur others r yet both might agree to sot:dice a little to esch other, and then this measure would form a point of amalgamation useful to mankind, and not a tittle beyond the principles to which the one and the other were attached.—Birmingboni Free Press.
