ati One end. On the false principle why should not the ' .British Government interfere, and say that it was not for the Wiriest of England that Don Miguel should be al lowed to retain the Crown of Portugal which he had un justly seised ? As to the affair of Terceira hr was almost ashamed to allude to that wicked transaction. It was, in his opinion, a gross violation i.f the law of nations. If the documents On which the defence of that transaction was grounded were laid before them, they would then be able to ascertain how far that defence was borne out; but even granting all that had been said on the subject it might have been a reason for going to war with the Emperor of Brazil or for inquiring into the character of his Royal Brother; bat he would ask whether they bad made oat any case to justify 'them for pursuing the - of a foreign State upon the open seas, and en• r own laws and customs on a foreign coon had. perhaps, made out a case for affording feeble Sovtle`tign, but against whom was ,pon Terceira made? That island was as eat Power as the kingdom of Portugal was; facto as well as de jure the realm of her acknowledged to be de jure the Q teen of country, and who had been received here in Ipless and forlorn situation as to excite the particular commiseration of his Majtsty. They were told that, from an inquiry into Ef.ctors Commons, or some •other place, it appeared that those subjects of the Queen of Portugal bad got arms into their possession in this country, Tnis might entitle the Government of the country to seize upon those arms, and prevent them from being transported to any other place; but did it entitle them to attack a neutral port, and pursue those foreign , subjects upon the open seas? He thought hii vies of the subject would appear obvious from a very hdmble illustration. There was a law which made it felony to take wool out of this country. Under that law, suppos ing a Frenchman was found taking wool out of any port, he might be seized upon and hanged ; but would that law afford any right to follow such a person, to seize him on the shores of France, and put him to death ? He contended that the cffenee even against Don Miguel was not so great as the offence against the law of nations in that transaction. They had a right to treat those men sirs the same manner upon the high seas as they would have been entitled to do within this realm. It was idle to attempt to support such an argument, and every thing which was urged in defence of the transaction only ran them deeper on the mire. He did not wish that de feeto authority shoald be interfered with. He oas glad the Noble Duke was disposed to acknowlege that authority, tor those were the sentiments held by those with whom he (Lord H ) had lived, and whom he had most respected, in regard to the mighty contest which took place during the French revolution. If the British Government bad at that time reslly respected the sacred right of de facto authority it would und•rubtedly have been a great advantage, and in his opinion would have saved the necessit y of all those wars which were the re sult of an opposite policy. He repeated therefore that he was not one of those who would oppose that course; but so far was this ti ansaction trons being in coincidence with it, that he thought neither the language used with re gard to it, nor the result of it, was such as to warrant the Parliament in placing an ualimited confidence in those who bad recommended it. With regard to the negociations with Brasil, he should like, at all events, to know what the nature of those negociations were; and be was certainly a good deal surprised to hear what had fallen from the Noble Earl opposite (Aberdeen) with regard to the proposed anion between Don Mi goel and the Queen. It was not for them to cons der whether a dispensation for that onion could be pro., cured from the Pope, but whether They were to fraud' overt helpless female to such a man as Don Migut-I, who was sullied with blood, and . who had per pe• treed so many crimes?—(Hear, hear)—He could not admit that the principle of non-interference had been practised with regard to Portugal, for had it not been for England and Austria Don Miguel would not have been able to effect his usurpation; and if the same conduct had been pursued with regud to the one party as the other, and that system not followed which was looked upon with hostility by the universal community of Portugal, the usurper must by this have tottered on his throne. He (Lord Holland) did nut on that account accuse the Government. He did not say that the inten tion of the measures which they had adopted was to have such a result; nor did be ever say that because such bad been the result that, therefore, the measures must have been bad; but he did say that such a result called loudly for an explanation of those measurer. He repeated, he did not wish to excuse the Ministers or take Irom them the merit to which on many account: they were entitled; but, as no explanation had been given of the transactions to which he referred, it was his duty to say, that the time was now come, or very shortly would come, when a full explanation would be required. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that there was certainly no instance when his Majesty's Ministc: s had come down to require a vote of the Parliament on any subject on which they bad not laid such inform mon as regarded that subject before the Parliament; but they had not come forward with that information until they had called for the opinion, or until some other Noble Lord had moved f r such information on parliamentary grounds. He said this because he was most anxious that the House sh. , uld have the fullest information with respect to the transactions at Ter. ceirs. He had wished this from the commencement of the present Session, because many calumnies and misrepresentations had gone abroad respecting it which he wished to have cleared up; but calumny oas not a ground for his Nlajesty's Ministers to bring down such information, ss hen 01.1 did not call upon the House for any vote. He haJ hoped that in the course of the Sess lion the Noble Lord (Holland) would have moved for such information. Complete information regarding the affairs of Portugal could not be produced, because the , transactions were still pending. The negotiations were lately in the same state as they had been two ,go; but he could have wished for an oppor. of presenting to their Lordships that informa. Aids had been moved for in the other House rliament, and • which this day had been laid the table. He would hate felt a pleasure in agree such a motion, as he was sure it would appear throughout the entire transactions his Majesty's ere had done their duty: The Noble Lord had proper to ridicule the idea of non-interference re and to Portugal ; but be (the Duke of Welling , defied the Noble Lord to point out a single• im amate during the last century and a half when this country had interfered with the internal affairt dt Par _ _ _ tugal by means of arms; for though the Treaties with that country went so far with respect to Colonies and foreign affairs, yet it bad not been , she practice to con strue them in the same way with regard to internal mat ters. If the Noble Lord looked back to the several periods at which; according to those Treaties, they. might havobeen supposed to have been called upon In interfere, he would 6ad that thep bad not interfered. During tbe rebellion in the Brasil. breathe?intvgford ? They bad not. At the period ue thy subvertirutof the , monarchy of - Portegal, in the reign of wing Abu, bad, they interfered ? They had not. Nor had they inter fered during the internal commotion of Portugal ht the year 1826: In that particular case there were positive orders given to the British Officers not to interfere ex cept in case of a foreign enemy appearing. or (or the protectiqn of the persons of the Royal Family. Lord HOLLAND—Is not that interference? The Duke of WELLINGTON—Did the Noble Lord call the protection of the Royal Family the same as in terfering in the political revolution of the country?— He repeated, the British Officer had got positive codess not to interfere except on the appearance of foreign troops, or for the protection of the Royal Family; and this was acting according to the system they had always pur , ued, and according to every example which they had to follow. Again, the Noble Lord had asserted that the entire community of Portogal were opposed to► Don Miguel. In this he (the Duke of Wellington) must posi tively contradict the id..ble L ►rd. Lord HOLLAND said he had asserted no such thing. He should explain when the N ohle Duke had spoken. The Duke'of WELLINGTON proceeded—He must contradict this assetti n of the Noble Lord's, and he did co on the best authority. At the siege of Oporto the officers went there, and afterwards returned, having left the enemy, although the strongest army at the time in the country, for no other reason than because the whole country was in favour of Don Miguel. He was thereto,' authorized to contradict the Noble Lord when he said that the whole country was opposed to Don Miguel. To follow the advice of the Noble Lord, then, they musl force a Monarch upon the people of Portugal. That was not the doctrine which the Noble Lord on general advo cated, nor was it what he (the Duke of W ) for one, would wish to see put in practice. With regard to the aff.ir 01, Terceira, it appeared at firit that those persons had come to seek an asylum in England. and that asylum they of course found ; but it was soon discovered that they formed here a regular body of troops, that they were accompanied by their officers, and that they awaited the arrival of other troops from Germany; that it was their intention to sail for the Azores, a part of the kingdom of Portugal; and that they not only intended to sail there as a body of troops, but that they expected the British Government would give them a convoy.— li was also discovered that they had procured arms, which, notwithstandi..g the •igilance of his (the I Duke of Wellington's) Noble Friend near him, they contrived to pet out to Terceira. Finding this to be the case, the Government had proposed to them to se parate, to divide the Officers from the men, and scatter them into small towns. Was that, he would ask, an unreasonable request, or had they n..t a right to expect that it mould be complied with ? It was not, however, complied with. Under false pretences they procured clearances for other ports, and set sail for Terceira, at tl:e same time having a positive knowledge that they would be there opposed by order of his Majesty's Government. Atter all this the Noble Lord had called at a hortible transaction. He must confess that he understood the law of nations diff rently. He considered that those pa wns had been guilty of a breach of the law of nations in remaining embodied, and proceeding horn this country against a power which, whether it existed de jure or de fado, was in some degree recognised by this country They had first sought a convoy from this Govesnment. and then had taken out false clearances, with, he re pealed, a perfect knowledge that their journey to Ter ceira would be opposed by the British Government. Under these circumstances, and knowing that many fal.ehoods had been circulated with regard to their affairs, he and his colleagues were airmen that it shot d he lull explained. The next topic to which the Noble Li,rd had alluded was the relations with the East. A. the Treaty to which the Noble Lord had alluded had not yet been carried into effect, it was impossible fully to enter into an explanation of those transactions. He had merely to say that his Majesty's Ministers had done evety thing to carry that treaty into effect, as well in spirit as in letter; and when the entire matter should be laid before the House, he trusted the Noble Lord would not be dissatisfieu. The Noble Lord . had alluded to the Speech from the Throne at the commcocement of the last Session, and had said that it was there announced that the Ambassadors should be withdrawn from Constantinople; but in this the Noble Lord was in error, for the Ambassadors were withdrawn befoie the Parliament had assemb , ed. With regard to holding nut hopes that the Treaty of the 6th July would not be attended by war, he certainly did hold out such hopes; but the war which took place had not been the result of that tretty, but was owing mutely to other causes. All that he (he Duke of Wel lingtot.) asked was, that the Parliament would give his Majesty's Ministers credit for acting fairly. and not do ing any thing inconsistent with the character rf the country. Although the blockade of Navarin had not been productive of all the consequences which were ex pected. yet it had the effect of obliging the Pacha of Eg) pt to agree to withdraw his troops front the Mores, a measure in which this country was as much interested as any other. Afterwards ' is hen it was deem e ed :Weis lable to send trops into the Morea. as this country could not command the power of that description with the s .me , convenience as Fiance, and when t is most Christian 1M jetty offered to take the affair upon himself, it was thought better to take advantage of that riffer than to watt till it should be ascertained what number. rif men each of the Allied Powers should contribute. He be. 'loved he had now gone through all the points on which the Noble Lord had touched, except the negocia tions with Brazil, and these negociations were not yet brought to a termii anion; when they were they should all be laid before the House. The N..ble Lord had re proached them with endeavouring to effect a marriage between the Infant Don Miguel and his mece. All that the Government felt with regard to that was an anxious desire to settle the divisions of the house of Braganea, and there was no way of doing this without either compro. wising the tights of the Queen or effecting his mar riage. It had been proposed by Don Pedro himself ; and, if that Sovereign thought proper so far to waive the rights of his family as to consent to this compro mise, it was not their duty to oppose it. If that Monarch thought prefer to decline it they should be the last to urge it, as they certainly should have been the last to propose it. The Noble Lord had said that the cause of the present state of Portugal bad its origin in this coun try a. but it was not true that it was this country which sent Don Miguel to Portugal, or proposed him as Re gent. This arrangement had come from Brasil. It .was true that the British Ambassador was present when those arrangements were made; but it was not true that :ginkgo& was any party to those arrangements except ng witness to what passed. Throughout the entire proceedings- with Portugal and Brazil they bad acted on the same system. They had followed the example of the consmait previous practice, and they should at any time be prepared to give any information on the :subject which might be required. . Lord' HOLLAND had one word to say in explana :sion. The Noble Dube bad supposed that be bad said that tka Wileallal'eetallitiaity of Portugal was opposed to Don - Miguel. Ite bald only spoken in reference to 'the degree of interest which bad attended the proceed. ings of this country with regard to Pottogal, and lte , bast said tbat,the result of these proceedings had been to estrange the regards of the universal community of Portugal from England. Even the Miguelites were hostile to them, and the most talented of that party; and he regretted that their measures showed there were men of talent amongst them who were most distinguished for their enmity to England. He believed their ultimate intention was to unite Spain and Portugal under a Bourbon Prince, to be governed by what were called the apo.tolieals. This was the particul rr point which h. wished to explain, although he feared the Noble Duke had misunderstood him altogether as to non resistance ; tor he admitted the justice of every thing which the Noble Duke had said except one—that with regard to the orders which the British officer had received not to interfere in the internal arrangements of Portugal. except for the protection of the Royal Family. Such a course might be right or it might be wrong, but at all events it was interference; and it appeated to him unfair that a Prince should be allowed to trample on the laws and liberties of the people with impunity, while, if the people attempted to punish that Prince, a foreign power was ready to protect him. Such a system of non-interference would have entitled any Foreign Power to have interfered in the arrangements of this errantry at the time of Charles the First or James the Second, although it was an injury to the memories of those unfortunate Princes to compare them with am Miguel There was another point on w hich the Noble Duke had misunderstood him. The war to which tie had alluded was that between Russia and Turkey. H repewed elm he had not meant to say that the entire people of Portugal were opposed to Don Miguel. He knew, that there was a very great, a very formidable, and a very anti•Anglical party in that country. The Duke of WELLINGTON explained—When he spoke of the protection of the Royal Emil, he meant not to interfere in the internal aarangements of Portugal by English troops against the people, but me•ely tor the regulation of the officer who was present. The case had not, theiefore, any reference to those of Charles I. and James 11. As to the war between Rusiia and Turkey, it had not been the mirk of the 'Treaty of tite 6th of July, but arose from other causes. On the first day they had heard of those causes he might have ex pressed a hope that war would not ensue, but imme diately when the Government had discovered that it was l i likely to result th'ry had communicated the informat;on. Lard GODERICH admilacd that the circumstance of allowing the co-operation of the French troops was a strong misuse in the execution of therreaty; it was, in fact. an act of war of a very decisive character. A great point, too, had been gained there by our naval com mander in the Mediterranean, Sir E Codtingtoo, in compelling the Pacha of Egypt to agree to a treaty for removing the Egyptian armament from Greece. As to Portugal, the explanation of the affair of Terceira was not at all satisfactory. tie had strong doubts whe ther we had authority to prevent the Portuguese from landing at that island. As to the assertion that they were regimented and constituted a warlike expedition, such was not the fact. Terceira bad not acknowledged the authority of Don Miguel—he had no legitimate claim to it. It therefore belonged of right either to Don Pedro or the Queen of Portugal, and he did not know the principle of neutrality on which we were justified in preventing the subjects of that Pr incess from proceedine to that part of her dominions. As to the marriage be. tween Don Miguel and Donna Maria, he begged leave to state that it had not been suggested oriein ally by the Government of this count , y. It was the act of Don Pedro himself, who, being unable to 1111 J, at the same time, the Crowns of both countries, Porto? al and the 13rasols, consented to abdicate the throne of P rtuoal on two conditions —one, that the mars iage bet wevn a in Mi guel and Donna Maria should take place ;secondly. that the constitution should be established in Pot ugal. Don Miguel acce;:ted power, and conseeted to the condi tions. He went though a part of the marriage ceremon) in person in Vienna. That, however, did not constitute A valid marriage, according to the eccle*iast cal autho rities; arid, in fact, both parties were single at thi moment. But, though we did not object then to th marriage, we would object to it now, as we dal not think he could be trusted as an honest man; for though he did not violate any Treaties with u,, or with France. still by a course of dissimulation and ev.isi,,n. injurious to the public good faith, and to the dignits and stability of Crowns, lie induced this country to believe that he would accept the Crown on the condi tions proposed to him, and, alter he had taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, proceeded td overturn the just authority cf his brother. The fact, then, of his having seized the Crown of Portugal in violation of his promises gave us the right to interfere with his subse quent acts. The conduct of Don Miguel was a violation (ne would repeat) of public faith, and most injurious to the stability of Thrones. We certainly possessed tt e right interfere with the conduct of Don Miguel, thiorgh t e actual exercise of that right was a question .ot expediency ; but we certainly had no right to prevent the Queen of Portugal from exercising her just rights of Sovereignty. The Earl of ABERDEEN. in explanation, said, thin the marriage between Don Miguel and Donna Maria originated with Don John the Sixth, and afterwards •uag-sted iiself simultaneously and independently to Don Pedro, Mr. Canning, and the Prince Metternich. As to Teiceira, though the garrison was in favour of Don Pedro, the population declared for Don Miguel, so that there was a danger of a civil war. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, in explanation, said, that he did not object to a marriage between am Miguel and Donna Maria on moral itr religious grounds, but he 'was sure that al Europe would agree with hith in disapproving. as an outrageous measute, the mar. riage of Donna Maria with the usurper of her tint tie and the murderer oilier friends.—Adjourned. The following is the agreement referred to by the Marquis of Londonderry : APPROACHES TO TNT NNW LONDON IMO* TILL.

" J. C. HEURIRS." HOUSE OF COMMONS At a quarter before four o'clock the 8r s, accompabled bt several Members, proceeded to the HouiF at LiStils to bear the Royal Assent given by Commission to sevetal public and priest* Bills. • Immediately after the Sresaea returned. a It.port from the. C.ottunitstonets for Building Churches in the Highlands •f Scotland was presented. Mr. LAMBERT, from the Rat India Nous% pre+ented certain Returns relative to the Civil li..tabli,hment at Ceylon. HAIIPSTZAD HEATiI. Mr. R. GORDON presented a Petition from three copsholders of the MAnor of Flimptread, praying that Sir Thomas Mown Wrlaori a &tate 13iil might not past into a law. He iitsterved that tne Petitio t would have been more numeromly signed had there teen time.' He would not, in merely m.witsg Vitt this Petition to read, -crispy the time 01 the H0n..., but re.-rte what he h t J to say till the report on the Bill be bocught up. The same. H , n. t4emb r presented a sintiltr Petition from two other copylwitlei. of the same Manor. Mr. PERoEVALthed brought up the report on the Bill, upon w►.ich Mr. R. GORDON said, he• wished to seise the ear- liest opportunity of objecting to the pie , ei:t Bill, pro. f sink as it did to be an Estate Bill, w'iile at the same time it gave powers over the copylvild tenants wnich the Lord of the Manor did Rot before possess 1 here existed considerable doubts in his mind, as well as in the minds of other Hon. Members, as to whener or not the forms of the House had been complied with. It was held by some that the Bill might to have originated in that House—that was one objection to it. A secool was. that the copyhold tenant. had not due notice. A third was, that tl:e Bill, if passed iiito a law, would e table the steward to grant or refuse license for building to the copyhold!rs. Another obj , ction was, that it was a money Bill; but the actual and serious of j-ction was, that it would jail ct a great injury ups!' the ci.pyholders. ,It assume.l that the copyholders could not build. that they could not dig for gravel or clay, aid it coma.ned other assumptions equally inconsistent with Get and with the customs of the manor. Now, not one of those as sumptions were the parties interestoi allowed an °ppm.. tunity of rebutting. In consequence of the meetings of the Committees r f the Moose i.f Lords being at an hour different from that which is stated as the time, one opportunity certainly was lust by the parties ; but in tl:e manner in which the Bill was carried through other opportunities were denied. It the al, were recom mitted he was prepared to say that the panties intereited would make out a case sufficient to induce the Hiiuse to reject it altogether; but as a recommitment would, at the present period of the Session, amount to the total destruction of the Bill, he thought that the pro per arid candid course would be fur him to move that the Report be brought up that day three months. It all the forms of the House had been complied with, he s mold still feel it his duty to oppose the Bill on behalf of the public. It had b. en of late too much the fashion to be inattentive tothe amusements and comforts of the poorer classes, bet es en upon that ground he would urge the House not to sanctioa the enclosure of 11.mpstead-heath. But there was hardly any Gen. tleman living in tire neighbourhood who did not himself, or whose children did no, feel the advaotage which that open space afforded. The Bill profe , sed to be one ' to encourage bu Iding ; he for one had no desire to en courage building io this great metropolis; it was cc. ccedingly his wish to tnduce the Hou,e to reject the Bill altogether, and, wit . , that view, to should move that the report be brought up that day three months. Mr. S WART *use to second the motion. Hetetofore Sir Thomas Alf yt , n Wilson had ote.y a tenancy for life; the object of the pie,elit Bell was to enable him to take a higher estate [fists was intended by the late Lord of the manor. The late Sir Toonsas Wilson had a cottage in that neigEbourhood, and he found i. convenient to procure a spot of growid from one of the copyriolders, and then be covenanted not to build upon it. Thus the psesent Bill would enats'e his successor to violate that .pledge. Another objet ton was, the Bill stared tie heath was a freehold. Now, it was no such thing—it was a 'common; and not only had the cops holders an interest, but the public at large had an interest in it, aiid he hoped the House would pro . ect that interest. Mr. PERCEVAL said, the objection t i the B 11 was twofold—the rights of the comholdets and the rights of the public. A single word, however, was not said to show how it would lit tinge the rights of the cow holders. The Bill enabled the Lord of the Manor, oho was tenant fir life, to grant leases (or building ; built did not enable hint to grant any leas., which he cot ad not do were he not restricted by his life truancy ; nor did it enable him to enclose thelleatli,unless he already possessed the right to do so. With res. ere to the right of the public to walk on the Heath, it the House sought it right to strike out of the Bill the wa to of tie Manor which was now so ti,ed by the public, he should ma object to it ; that could be done by a sirtn.le amendment, without opposing the prowess of the Bill. Mr. Bglt NAL thought it was quite impossible that the uin Auld be amended this Session ; be should therefore vote for the Resolution. The copyholders bad taken the opinions of Sir C. Wetherell, Jr. Iticker•teth, and Mr. Richards, and they all cim tuned that the .Bill would prejudice the rights et the copyholders. Mr. LYTTLETON advised that the llitl should be withdrawn, on account of the lateness of the Session; which proceeding would allow the Bill to be brought in next Session without pr. judice to either party. lie could n t agree in the argument ag.inst the Bin founded on the objection that the public would be injured. Ile thought the public had no rights that should he coosidered 50 the case. Sir Jusii:Pli YOItKE said he totally disagreed with the lion. Gentleman that the rights of the public s hould not be considered, and that enclosures near London should nut be discouraged. . Die metropolis was so overgrown, that he thought it would be bettir - to prevent its envision than to admit of enclosing its healthful opts spaces tor building. Mr. PEISCEVAL withdrew the Bill. Mr. PEEL presented Papers respecting the relations between Great Britain sod Portugal. On the motion of Colonel Baassroao, Thorndikes Divorce Rill was read a first time, and ordeted to be read a second time on en Monday. Lord F. L. GOWER presented a report made by Mr. Mimeo, 'veneer, on the We.tern District of Ireland. Mr. PORT MAN said, u Poor Laws for Ireland must tune under the consideration of the Hom.e next Session. he hoped the English counties would be relieved from the enotm .us expense which was now incurred by passing Irish vagrants. Mr. BENNETT presented a Petition Irons a person named John Matson, praying for a repeal of all the taxes, and the imposi don in lieu thereof of a property tax of 25 per cm. Though he could not go quite so far u the petitioner, he was confident we could not keep our prices on a level with those of the C.mtinent without diminishing taxation. If we did not, the evil would remedy itself by a national bankruptcy. Mr. HUMEagreed that It would be very desirable if high prices and MO wages could be kept up together; but be most dissent from keeping up a high price of corn while the rate of wages was hr consequence greatly uepressed. He thought the House must sooner or later raise taxes in propon;on to the property of indivi duals. The whole system required to be re-considered and remo delled. Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report of the Committee at Vestries —Ordered tei be panted. Mr. W.
