MONDAY, APRIL 26. THE KING. " WINDSOR CASTLE, Arse. 26, 1830. NINE o'CLacc, A.III " The State of the KING'S health continues much the same. His Nanny has had a good eight." (Signed) " H. HALFORD." " 4 MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEYJ• The policy of the Wiling Cabinet of Great Britain is " a marvel lad a mystery :"—,evert 'me of tbitir foreign diplomacy" oofapremieee her haw 1041 destroys her in- hence; their domestic administration has reduced the country—we will not say to a state of national bank ruptcy—but assuredly to a state of unprecedented, and almost hopeless, distress. In a word, their system of go vernment, whilst it is one of Unmixed and unmitigated evil, baffles all calculation, and is, Indeed, a riddle—which " he that solved the sphynx's might die guessing." In 1829, the Catholic claims were conceded—and " Pro testant Ascendancy" sacrificed—to secure the future tranquillity of Ireland :—in 1830, fresk taxes are im posed, and the Irish press is threatened with extinction —to do what?—to " secure the future tranquillity of Ireland ?" No—but to secure the perpetual agitation of that ill-fated country, or to accelerate the fearful pur poses of her agitators ;—for as surely as Mr. Gout.- BURN'S new measures begin to operate, so surely will these consequences arise from them. No act of Mr. Pirr's Administration.— no not even the Act of Union— ever rendered the name and memory of that Statesman so obnoxious to the people of Ireland, as the deliberate means by which, as the only hope of accomplishing his favourite measure, he spread division and animosity, and the rancour and heart-burning of party spirit amongst all classes of the community—so that it might with truth be said the union of the nati ons was only effected by the disun c ion of the people.— The popular ferment was excited by the revival of reli gious feuds ; and the pulpits, which should have spoken " Charity and Peace to all mankind," were profaned by the dissemination of the most uncharitable and unchris tian doctrines ; while those who should have been " the pastors of the sheep" became the instigators of acts of atrocity and bloodshed, and blasphemously inculcated the necessity of honouring the Nlosv HlGit by making his holy worship the justifying motive to deadly hatred.— The torch of war was kindled at Goo's sacred altar, and fanaticism and bigotry hurled it flaming in the face of Heaven. In the feverish excitement of that perilous time, when internal strife raged through the devoted land, when all the social bonds of nature were rent asunder—and " brother madly shed his brother's blood,"—the cause of that terrific convulsion was forgotten : but, when the storm subsided, and, after a season of anarchy, of horror, and of carnage, those, w ho survived the shock, reflected calmly upon all the past, the machinations of the Minister were gradually developed ; and however his name and his me mory may since have been extolled in England—that name was cursed, and that memory execrated, by men of all ranks and of all parties in Ireland. We speak now, with reference to the measures by which the Union was pre ceded ; and not of the policy, or the prudence, of that measure in itself. That it has been productive of no po sitive injury to the Sister Kingdom, we most deliberately affirm ; that it was calculated to afford many mutual ad vantages to the two countries, we also believe ; and that, however repugnant to humanity the means may have been by which it was attained, it was, and still is, indispensable to the safety of the Empire, we as unequivocally assort. But what object has Mr. GOULBURN in view? What end does he propose to himself as the result of the mea sures which he has lately devised for encreasing the pri vations of the people, and gagging public opinion, by pa ralizing the energiesof the Press ? Is it not enough that the O'Cox NELL faction—laughs to scorn all the conci liatory pretensions of the English Ministry ?—that their Lsaderhaspledged himself that " WHILE lIE LIVES, they never shall PUT DOWN AGITATION ?—that the very Assso. ciation whose efforts intimidated the Duke of WELLING TON, and converted Mr. PEEL, now rises up in its most for midable array, and demands the actual dismemberment of the State ?—Are not these things enough, Mr. Gov L BURN ! that you thus resort to expedients which, by their excessive pressure upon the country, and by the infringe ment of that privilege which the people justly regard as the great bulwark of their rights, must produce a re action by far more dangerous than all that O'CoNNELL and his "five and twenty headed monster of agitation" ever could effect ? It is acknowledged by all po litical economists, that the great evil of the system of taxation, as it exists in Ireland, is its inequality; and not only its inequality, but the partiality of its infliction: for whilst the industrious and the really useful members of society are taxed beyond their means, the idle, and the dissipated, and the useless, are exempt from any such contribution to the exigencies of the State. The ab sentee drains the last guinea from his wretched tenantry to spend it in foreign luxuries, or in the pursuit of fo reign vices ; while the farmer, and the corn grower, not only share in the general calamities of the times, but are now doomed to witness the destruction, the total annihi lation, of their properties. British spirits and Irish whiskey are to be taxed, that West India rum may be consumed.l And what,—as the Dublin Evening Mail asks,—" What becomes of the poor lands—of the small and damaged grain—of ground that will grow nothing but that fit for distillation, and ofcorn that can be turned to no other earthly purpose?" And all this, forsooth, that "the Duke of WELLINGTON may conciliate the Marquis of Cit A N DOS; . ' —whilst, as the Age informs us, " the distillers do not scruple to say that Gou LUJAN gives the preference to rum out of views of personal profit—all his property and that of his family being West Indian." But if ruin be thus unresistingly brought upon the distillers of the United Kingdom—the attempt to crush the press of Ire land has aroused such a spirit as .the Minister will find it difficult to lay. Let us hear what the Evening Mail says upon the subject If the Citeatczxson of the EICUIQUEII have done much evil, be has at least effected one good. In his sbameM and unconstitu tional efforts to destroy the Press, he has, as It were, miraculously mooted its members in one bond of Union ; and his threatened measure has produced a reciprocity of feeling, a unity of sentiment, and a well-directed determination and Individuality of purpose, that party feelings, religious feuds, or political excitement, flied to ac complish, even amongst those who fought under the sane banners, sod contested the battle side by Ads. We de not call open the public to take this question up, bemuse WOOSSSIM happen to be personally Interested is its result; bat we will say, that If ever there was ape In ' which men of every class and creed Ovoid ioln—ome in whleh the pa litkian, the map of literature, the ministers of religion, the bar, the members of another learned professions, the:ardente% to -beach, the merchant, the fader, the agricultutist, the manufacturer, the shopkeeper, the artisan, and the mechanic, are alike interested, it is that of the maintenance of the Press in Ireland ; for we tell the members belonging to those professions and classes we have enu. merated, that its very existence is at stake; and that its destruction, which Is inevitable should the measure pats, involves considerations of much greater consequence to the community than the mere ques tion of whether sonic thousand or two Printers, Pressmen, Reporters, Editors, and Proprietors, shall be ruined and made bankrupt." Ministers inky talk of suppressing the Association, but if they issue their proclamation with one hand, and heap up the mountain of taxation with the other, they never can hope to conciliate the people, or to secure the tran quillity of Ireland. In selecting from the Times of this morning the sub joined article on the present state of Portuguese affairs, —an article which does infinite honour to the head and heart of its writer—we have the highest gratification in stating, that circumstances have arisen which bid fair speedily to reulize the sanguine anticipation we have never ceased to entertain, of seeing the sacred cause of Legi timacy triumphant in the person of the young Queen of PO RTUGAL—DONNA MARIA 11.—and the perfidious tyrant whose inhuman sway now desolates that wretched country, hurled front the station to which ho was raised by the foulest treason that ever disgraced a nation. An Ambassador from the Emperor Don Pr.- uno is now on his way to the British Court; and al. though England may not be required to depart from her " professions of neutrality," yet we do hope that she may be induced to abstain from the practical violation of that principle by which her Ministers have not scrupled to declare they were influenced, at the very moment. when, by their acts, they were aiding the strong against the weak—the unrecognised Usurper against the legiti mate and recognised Sovereign. A weekly print, which of all newspapers of Great Britain stands alone in the honour of writing up the perjured Mtount. each suc ceeding Sunday, attempts to draw a parallel between Cuba, as a depot for Spanish armaments against Mexico ; and Terceira, as a starting point for expeditions against the Portuguese usurper. Stu. pidity has strong nerves. Because we declared it to be the duty of, England to forbid all attacks from Cuba upon Vera Cruz, or other Mexican ports—ergo, says this Lisbon missionary, we ought to pre vent all armaments from Terceira against Lisbon. We are not sorry to have this question moved. The argument against permitting Spanish expeditions against the State of Mexico, to be fitted out from the Spanish islands, rests on two grounds. Ist. That we have recognised Mexico to be a sovereign awl inde pendent state, from which we receive an accredited minister, and at whose scat of government au English minister has for many years resided. 2nd. That, professing a system of strict neutrality between the Governments of Mexico and of Spain, and seeing that the 3lexican Government, with a view to frustrate any Spanish invasion, had prepared a naval and military armament against Cuba, the only spot from which invasion was to be apprehended,—we (Great Britain) did expressly prohibit the sailing of such Mexican armament, and intimate to the Mexicans that we would prevent them from con. Tiering Cuba. It follows, therefore, on every principle of common sense, integrity, and justice, that we must not permit Cuba to exercise against the republic those hostilities which we forbade the republican govern. ment to carry on against that Spanish island; otherwise our ncu. trality is a gross fraud. But where is the parallel case for this in the relations between England, Portugal, and Terceira ? For the advocate of Miguel pretends that we should say to the government of Terceira, " You shall not invade Portugal," as he does not deny the obligation of saying to Cubs, " You shall not make a prey of what has ceased to be Spanish America." We answer -Ist. That England has never acknowledged Miguel for a lawful and Independent Sovereign, as she has recognized Mexico for an independent Republic ; and that, so far from sending him an Am. bassador, we withdtew the British Ambassador hitherto resident at Lisbon from the first hour of .filigucl's claiming the Portuguese Crown. 2d. That England has actually acknowledged Donna Maria da Gloria to be lawful Queen of Portugal, and has received a Minister from that Princess as such. 3d. That, so far from having treated Miguel in the same pe remptory manner u we did Mexico, by ordering him to refrain from attacking the Island of Terceira, we suffered him, without remonstrance, to invade the island, at that time garrisoned by the troops, and in the name of that Princess, whom we had already re cognized for lawful Sovereign of all the Portuguese dominions. both of Portugal itself, from whence the hostile armament sailed, and of Terceira, against which it proceeded. 4th. That having permitted Miguel, whom we treated openly as an usurper, to attack the insular possessions of her whom we recog nised as Queen, it would be utterly iniquitous and abominable now to turn round and tell the lawful Queen, that she shall not make sue of Terceira as a means of overthrowing the anaper! The baseness and blind folly of such a notion would probably prevent it from being so much as dreamed of in the Cabinet ; and sure we are that it would not bear one moment's discussion in Parlian:ent.— The ship Amelia, on her voyage from Calcutta to Havre, approached Terceira last week, with the intention of procuring provisions ; but was prevented from touching at the island by ono of the blockading frigates of Don MwtJEL. The Amelia has since safely arrived at Havre. Private advices fromlU=li; the 14th instant have been received this day ; and confidently set forth that the King of FaANCE, the King of NAPLES, and the Infant Louts DE Bo u ao , have protested against the decree of FERDINAIiti abolishing the Salique Law, and admit ting females to the succession of the Crown. That this decree of the King of SPAIN has been issued without the concurrence—or even the knowledge—of his allies, there can be no doubt ; and his precipitancy is now likely to in volve him in much trouble. A report had been current in Madrid, that all the volunteer corps in the kingdom were forthwith to be suppressed. The amount of the dissentients in the case of the con version of the 4 per cents. does not exceed 1,600,0001. The plan may, therefore, be said to have been completely successful. A deputation of the tobacconists had an interview on Saturday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the President of the Board of Trade. The following is Talleyrand's dictum on the present political aspect of affairs in France :—" In the morning," says the Prince, " I believe in the dissolution of the Chambers; in the afternoon I change my opinion; in the evening I have no opinion at all." The dynasty of the Bourbons is not likely to become extinct for want of an heir, at lent in the collateral branches ; for it is stated that no leas than three of its princesses are each in a fair way of presenting one to their respective lords : namely, the new Queen herself, Christina of Naples ; and the wires of Don Caries and Don Francesco. CITY, TwEz.v o'CLuck Owing to the statement which has appeared this morning in r;• gard to his majesty's health, the Consol Alarket is not a* good al on Saturday, when they left off at 936 to 6 for the Account, and opened this morning at 921 to 93, and for Money 921 6. It is or. fidcntly expectcd that this evening some information of his majesty malady will be communicated to the Houses of Commons and fiords ; but previous to which a Bulletin is anxiously looked for r. the City. We hear this morning that the dissents of the 4 per cents. annul:. to about two millions three or four hundred thousand pounds. In the Foreign Market a great deal of business has been done u, Spanish Bonds, which got up about 4 per cent. owing to their hai. ins improved at Paris on Friday from 5 to 6 per cent. ; but t h e Paris accounts of Saturday bring them lower; in consequence w which, a re-action has taken place ;and they have receded from Zsi to 21i.

Buyers and sellers are 92f I for money, with little doing at present. There is a report that some change in the Ministry at Madrid has taken place. We do not hear of any express from Paris. In the Foreign Market the favorite speculation is in Spanish, which has fluctuated considerably during the morning ; it has been as high as 24, any down to 214.

A letter from a friend at Paris informs ns that the natural daughter of Don PEDRO, a child of six years old, has lately beeu placed at the Convent du Sacre Co:cur, Rue de Varenues, for education. She is to remain there till she is eighteen, the most approved age for coming out —Court Journal. We hate been favoured with the perusal of the pro clamation which it is intended by the Commander-in chief of the French expedition to Algiers to distribute. on his arrival among the natives. It disclaims all in tention of establishing an European prince at Algiers, or of interfering with the laws, religion, and customs of the inhabitants; but insists upon the establishment of a government more in harmony with the institutions of civilized countries. The total force to be employed against Algiers is 60,000 men. The newspapers speak of 56,000 ; but there is a reserve, of which no notice has been taken. General Bourniont assorts that he an ticipates no opposition of moment, except from the fortress, and that having obtained he will be able to dictate to the besieged.—Court Journal. A curious circumstance is referred to in the London Express and Paris Advertiser of this day—namely, the probability that a cause will shortly come before the French tribunals, in which an English Protestant Clergy man claims of " an illustrious Duke payment of a large sum (nearly 200,000 francs) which the Clergyman alleges he lent the Noble party in question some years since when the Duke was an exile in England. The Duke here referred to is said to be the Duke of Orleans —a man not less renowned for his wealth than his industry in adding to it ; but it has never yet been imputed to that Prince that he has resorted to unfair means either to in crease or preserve his already enormous fortuna (12,000,000 of francs per annum.) It seems that the Dauphin will undertake the journey to Toulon incognito. This circumstance explains the low scale on which preparations have been made for the reception of the Prince. The departure of his Royal Highness is said to be definitively fixed for the 25th of this month. His arrival at Toulon will take place on the tat of May. On the 3d he will in spect the fleet, and for that purpose will go on board the Provence, a first rate, which will be placed in the Icentre of the ships, ranged in a semi-circle. We learn, by letters from Hayti, under date 28th of Fe bruary last, that the demand of Spain for the restitution of part of the territory of that island having been rejected. it was apprehended that an expedition would sail from Cuba against it. The President Boyer has sent troops in all directions, and has so distributed them as to keep in awe those Haytians who were likely to declare in favour of the enemy on the first appearance of a Spanish sag.— All the measures pecessary to defend the country against the Spaniards have been taken, and all the points acces sible to an invading army have been strongly fortified, dtc.—London Express and Paris Advertiser. The " Carnatic Commissioners" (Benjamin Hobhouse. Thomas Cockburn, and Robert Harry Inglis) have at last closed their labours, with their 26th Report, just printed; and they finish their Report with observing— " In closing an inquiry, necessarily often protracted by circumstances not within their controul, and which must always attend intricate and extensive investigations into subjects remote in time and in place, and in the greater proportion involving the interests of natives of India, they have reason to believe that the patient investigation, the last results of which they now communicate, has not deprived any one claimant of his least right under those terms of inquiry to which, by signing the deed of cove nants, he had himself agreed; while, as to some of the cases rejected, it has defeated the m o s t i n iquitous com I ' bi- nations qf ud which were ever s u b m itted to a legal tribunal!
