We know• them well ;—the British Nation knows well all that that ancient ally has suffered at the hands of our Ministers. And we yet retain strong confidence that, in the justice of our country these grievances may be redressed, and that, with respect to PORTUGAL, EUROPE may not long have cause to accuse us of want of faith, and of revolting eruelty. The approaching Session of Parliament, we trust, will efface that infamous stain, by which an inca pable and vainglorious Ministry has tarnished the na tional honour. The New Monthly Journal,' of Germany, and the Prussian State Gazette,' which we quoted in THE STAR of November 4th, and which bore the dates of Oc tober 25th and 28th, perfectly coincided in the opinions of the Portuguese writer. It is well known that these Journals German and Prussian are the organs of the Cabinet of ST. PETERSBURGII, and convey to Eu&ora whatever the policy of the AUTOCRAT CONDESCENDS to promulgate of his intentions. The Portuguese article which we have here trans lated, is of the 28th of October, and it must be owned that Our EMIGRANT CONTEMPORARY has "Mt right." In the style and spirit of that article. we think we recognize the same vigorous intellect, the same eloquent pen that, during the regime of the Charter at Lisbon, gave strength to the Constitutional Journal entitled " 0 Portugaez"—ao highly estimated in the political circles of this country, and from which the papers of London and of Paris made such. frequent and important extracts. Having paid this tribute of re spect to a distinguished exile,—we pause to ask, can it be possible that our country will longer look on in cold blood, and see her ancient ally given up to destruction ? How long will she see her name and her glory sullied by sacrificing to the caprice of two Ministers a whole people —a people claiming, and deserving freedom, and with _ whom Great Britain sympathises in all that unites na tions--in interest and in honour?—No—Ministers have much to do :—England will not suffer it. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE:" FOLLIES OF FASHION." "Tormenting" as &ZANE pronounces "the cant of criticism" to be, we could forgive even the affected fastidiousness of judgment which would regulate the abi lities of the actor by the movements of a atop-watch ; and hold it a very blameless piece of absurdity when compared with that vile prostration before worldly rank—that servile ministering to aristocratic pride, which without exalting the object of its adulation, or influencing the ultimate decision of popular opinion, betrays the pitiful spirit of the sycophant, and dishonours the Press. by the contemptible abuse of one of its most important functions. In the " „Elizabethan" days of our dramatic glory, or in the" Augustan age" of our po lished literature, the nobles of the land were honoured-, aye, and felt honoured—as the friOdet. rather than the patrons, of men of genius ; and so far from suffering themselves to be pampered late any notion of " a gracious condescendence,' were proud of being admitted to the worship of the temple,": and assiduously joined in the pursuit of literary renown—assiduotesly but diffidently, and with a full consciousness that, is rare Bea" re minded them, " Poets see s rarer race than Mass." But it would seem that the degeneratto oracles of modem criticism, like the pretending experimentalists of the sur gery, " have changed all that'—or seek to change it ; and, instead of exciting " men of high rank and station" to'do honour to themselves by cultivating the most enno bling taste—the taste of literature,—and to enter **arena boldly, and generously to contest the .nestimable prize— the never-dying bays—with the full vigour and fresh ness •of thought, and energy of mind, and with a due regard to the difficulties of the enterprise; would lure them by some circuitous and beaten track to ascend the Parnsssian height--which, " who can tell how hard it is to climb ?"—and humouring their • vanity, when they should stimulate their intellectual tmbition, they leave their excited dupes baffled in the pursuit; and fit only to claim the insignificant distinction • of ^ being " Lords amongst wits, and wits amongst Lords."—These remarks have been drawn from us by the • en gemess 'with which " the Times" seizes upon every occasion to indulge that proneness to grovelling and abject servility, which nothing but an in herent principle of baseness could prompt him to gratify at the expense of that public favour• by which he has been raised to a station which he so very unworthily occupies. —Nothing can palliate the despicable meanness of such an introduction to a theatrical criticism, as the follow- ing sentence, which so unnecessarily prefaces some, otherwise just, remarks upon the Earl of GLEN GALL'S new comedy :--" If it had fewer claims to approba tion than it possesses, we should still be inclined to look upon it with a favourable eye, because we are always happy when we find men of high rank and station in society paying their court to the muses, rather than wasting their time and their fortunes, as too many have done, in the debasing pursuits of the gaming table, or the degrading brutality of the prize ring." The introduction of such topics had just se much to de with the judgment about to be pronounced on the play, as the low-lived scurrility with which the same journalist " travelled out of the record," to spit his in noxious venom at the venerableß awri A ar, had to do with a professed notice of DUMONT'S biography. Lord GLEN• GALL must pardon this digression, which a sense of our public duty has compelled us to make—most re luctantly—from the consideration of his Comedy; upon the success of which we congratulate the admirers of dra matic.talent,—we congratulate the management which has reaped the reward of a very judicious selection;—and " though last not least,"—we congratulate the Earl of GLENGALL with the utmost sincerity, though without any affected deference to his rank, or any.desire to com pliment him at the expense of his less, talented Peers. ' In "The Follies of Fashion," so far from }rutting forth any extravagant pretention to originality of plot, story, or incident, the author has given proof to the long-seem ing paradox, that neither plot nor story can be said to constitute a qualification indispensable to the success! of well written play-,the . characters of 'dirk though modelled on some of the finest of thosawldreit ween..o o, hyperbole to term " the cluck "t4e.of the oamip schOol of Art," have acquired an , air :of nor* from_ theiradazirable adaptation to tha limitedness Wing OTC igkeithatioPl,7oo ?ay er4o4 ' premeditation from the circumstances in which the Dramatis Persona are placed, and are not the result of laboured invention, or far fetched conceit. We feel that we detract nothing from the deserved po pularity of the Comedy, when we say that in many of the situations we were reminded of some of the happiest ef forts of SHERIDAN—and that the reminiscence rather heightened our enjoyment, than diminished the effect of the scene. All that we can conceive of BANNISTER'S versatility, even in his best days, is more than re stored to us in the e'er-varied excellence of WAL-• LACK, who sustained Lord Splashton with a spirited elegance, which gave the happiest force to the alternate feelings of lore and jealousy which actuated the lordly spendthrift,and the inconstant, but unconsciously attached, husband. FA RREN so completely identified himself with the " head of the COUNTERS," that a spectator who had witnessed his performance for the first time, wculd scarcely have given him credit for the finished elegance of manner, which renders his Lord Ogleby the most perfect representation on the stage. Jones was, as he ever is, excessively amusing as Sir Harrg Lureall ; and• whilst his fine tact subdued the revolting duplicity of the blended " Backbite" and " Joseph Surface," his assumption of the character left nothing to reconcile even the most abandoned libertine to the pursuit of his heartless specu lations. Mr. W. BEN I( ETT played Sir Simon Foster we!!. We regret to see an actor of Mr. COOPER'S tragic talent so frequently forced into the mediocre station of a walking gentleman, when a performer with such qualificationi for. that "role," as Mr. JAMES VINING is in the Theatre. Mr. H. WALLACE requires nothing but more frequent intercourse with Onetropolitan audience to render him an. excellent representative of,thelrish gentleman—his brogue will then become mellowed, but vulgar we are sure it will not be. Miss MoRDAUNT played Lady Splashton with much ease, and considerable feeling ; the " note scene" was finely, very finely enacted by her and WA tr LACK. It is one of the most " decided hits" in the whole Comedy. Mrs. GLovea was as affectedly important, and as unaffectedly humourous as ever we can suppose the original of the eccentric portrait to have been—and such an original, we have " in our mind's eye."— Mies FAUCITT did infinitely more for 'Lady Mary Fretful, than, we presume, even the author could have anticipated. But we must protest against the propriety of assigning such a character aoung lady, who can scarcely be said to have p assed her noviciate, in her Theatrical career. Mrs. Otto Eit's Jenny was worthy of her ; and that is saying sufficient , to vouch for the excellence of the performance. The comedy was announced for repetition with enthusiastic approbation. Onthe present controversy between Mr. KEAN and the Covent-garden management, we shall have much to say to morrow:—but, in the meantime, we would ask Mr. Kexime in what situation would his theatre have been if personal forbearance and public syinpathy had not enabled him to have kept the doors open long enough to have rendered Mr. KLAN'S performance of his engagement possible ?—Where would Mr. KEAN'S redress have been in that case ? TO THE . EDITOR OF THE STAR. . Ilne—Elappadag to be 'mope the number of those who have wit nessed the dangerous effects arisiog from the loss of rudder at see, 'I need icarcelypasy with how much satisfaction I read the account given in a but washer et your journal, relative to the Improve. swot of Opal° Limey. Having subsequently seen the diagram appended to the gallant of/ker's prospectus, I am enabled to speak with more certainty concerning the simplicity of this invention, and .perfectly agree with you, that a plan which affords such facility for repairing ow et the most frequent accidents befalling ships' rud— ders, and prevent* the oecessity of their golog•into port, may be jet* regarded as an object of national Importance. .11todless are the 'cases which might be cited to prove the advan tage of being able to repair and re-bang the rudder. The one I erns about to relate occurred so far back as the year 1796, to hie Ilejeaty's ship Meta*, of 64 guns, in which I was a midatiptnan. Being overtaken by a heavy Dortb-west gale, on our passage home from honks, the ship broached too, and after labouring very hea vily far several hours, the tiner snapped, soon after which the rudder was Imaldppsd. Raving succeeded in hoisting it on deck we found the whole et the plinks brokeeondirere thus unable to make any farther use of the fodder. The ship being thus rendered unmanageable, the whole of the masts went by the board shortly after, and we were, in consequence of the hopossibilky either of re?heneing the rudder as supplyingits place by any of the plans Min* suggested, and all of which are eseeedissely defective, finally trader the neceek, el abandoolog the ship altepther. • • • -F"' •• In addition to the Instance. noticed M Cava to Linoe's Pros pectus, I recollect the cam of His Majesty!. ship Captain. Ibis ship having unshipped her rudder off Falmouth in 1105, there were no means of replacing the br4en pintles ; the cesioquencet was, that she drifted about the channel for several days in the most lonsinont &Eiger, and would have been infallibly wrecked, bad it not been for the timely arrival of the San Josef, which was sent out of Plymouth to tow her into that port. In 'lllO9, another Mae of battle ship, the Venerable, lost her rudder or Flushing, and narrowly escaped shipwreck in consequence. one of the most recent eases which has came under my observation, is that of the Valorous, tweoty•siz, commanded by the late Lord HONTINOTOII, and which bad her rudder unshipped off the Baha mas in NIS, wittiest the possibility of its being reigns. As you justly observe, oar Indiamen are more liable to have their rudder damaged than any other class of vessels. While the distance and the nature of their voyages generally keep them from the land, reader it diScult, and sometimes impassible to gain a port. With regard to our ships of war, It is of the greatest importance that they should be provided with every means of remedying an accident of such common and frequent occurrence. Indeed there is no reason to apprehend that either prejudice or jealousy will step in to mar the adoption of Captain Luton's valuable 'menthe ; at all events this gallant *Seer is entitled to the best thanks of his country.
