It gives a highly favourable view of the advantages which the new settlement offers to a commercial intercourse with the countries in its vicinity t " The harbour of Amherst has been so fully de scribed in your columns, and so ably laid down in the chart of Captain Spier', that it calls for no further re mark. I have the satisfaction, however, to state, that during my say there no less than .nine ships rode safely sr anchor, within two hundred yards of the shore, nor was any serious accident experienced by any of them, either in their entrance or departure. The greatest draught of water amongst them was 1711 feet, and the smallest 15 feet. • One serious Objection was eialy urged against the settlement, that the supply of water was not only inadequate, but of bad quality. The experience of nearly a whole year has fully proved that there is no foundation for inch an apprehension; water is forsad every where within six or seven feet of the surface by any one who takes the trouble to dig a well. I believe there are not less than a dozen now open. The water is just as fine as it is abundant, and is approved of both by natives and strangers. Every ship that has visited the place has been witered from them, and they have afforded a daily supply to the large flotilla of gun-boatils Such a spontaneous supply of good water is scarcely pro. curable at any other port of India that I know of. " An object of the first importance to the prosperity of the settlement is its trade in timber. The existeney of extensive forests of teak on tfie'taing, Attran, as* Sateen rivers, equal or superior in size to the corn run of teak usually exported from Rangoon, has beak satisfactorily ascertained. TPere is reason also to lieve, that it is superior in quality, since the teak br from the forests of Shooegin and Toungoo, and, iud those generally which are situated on the eastern ei tremity of the Burman dominions, and whit!), conse quently, approximate nearest to those of our newly quired territory, is considered far superior to that from the forests of the Irawuddee, and bears a tionably larger price in the Rangoon market. " It is reasonable to expect that the important discovery of these forests will, at no distant period, relieve us f our dependence upon the caprice of the Burma= for a Oupply of this commodity, and that it will furnish our 'Government, at a cheap rate, with the description; of ds ber required for ordnance and other purposes, which it was seldom, and with great difficulty, able to select from the cargoes brought from Rangoon. " The article next in importance to the trade in tim ber is that of • - The island of Bill', and the whole an, is so remarkably fertile in the Burman Government, a article of food was usually of that place itself. During food which prevailed in Ran goon last year, the services of our new settlement were of the most important nature. Its large and seasonable exportations of rice alleviated the wants of thousands, before intelligence of the scarcity could be conveyed to Bengal, and a sufficient supply be received from thence. The island of Bilu, the most productive portion of the province ' affords :very facility for transportation by bled and water, and its proximity to Amherst would 'Maki the shipment of its crops both cheap and easy. lAs the quantity of land in Martaban, suitable to the growth of rice, and remaining yet uncultivated, is im mense, the price for many years to come will be com pXratively moderate, and this article will au doubt prove a profitable export to the Malay coast, Pinang, ithe Isle of Frahke, and the coast of Coromandel. __ _ • " After timber and rice, the articles of export which will, probably, be first available to the commerce of Amherst, ere indigo and cotton. The former is rudely manufaetMed in large jars, and precipitated, or rather mixed with such enormous quantities of lime as to ren derit useleis in its present form to European commerce; but as the plant luxuriantly flourishes on the banks of all the rivers, when British capital and industry are employed in its cultivation, there is every reason to hope' it will be prosecuted with success. The large and nu °serous islands, as well as the banks of the Saluen, are represented, by those well acquainted with this branch of agriculture, to be peculiarly well adapted to its cultiva tioo.-i—Cardamums, in small quantities, sesamum, oil, ivory, and beei-wax, have long been exports from Mar. taben. As a depot, from which the Burmese, Lao, and probably the Siamese countries, may with facility be sdpplied with British and Indian manufactures, Am herst is a settlement of the first importance. The short run by water, between Amherst and Rangoon, will secure the supply of that market to the former, by Meatis'of the Burmese trading boats and small coasting daft; while the mitirisiveand populous tract of Toun gm will be supplied with Much greater facility than WHO Rangoon. The capital of Ava, and the northern and eastern provinces of the Empire, were furnished, before the war, with British manufactured cotton goods and woollens chiefly from Calcutta, by a long and difficult land carriage through Arracaa. It is ascer tained that a much shorter and more practicable road is open through Toungno, and there is little or no doubt existing that trade will be beneficially diverted from its former channel, and that the Ava market will, infutere, be supplind by native traders, who will cross from Martaban to Amherst to lay in their investments. An Increased consumption will be the consequence. " It may safely be said, that every branch of trade in which European merchants were engaged in the 1 Burman dominions, may ,be pursued with equal, and, in most cases; ream:prospect of success at Amherst, I at= d I consider it ode •lif the most linportant'advantages gained by the late Mar, that, *hile by the retention of that settlement, our tomnstrtial intercourse with the Barmans, and other neighbouring nations; bears every prospect of considesatsht emensipo, .it is alio placed in such a suite of senility as could not i be accomplished . lry'an othei arida.' .oUfaiiiihierie tsstiterebr relieved front the numerate pert,' esstitterri end annoyances, and onr merchants from the mere serious oppression and degradation to which they were severally exposed by the haughtiness of the Burman Government, and the• t'upility of its officers. -swing' r —aorta times, • . her is that of grain.

PARIS, Sara & The event surpasses our hopes. bon Pedro has un derstood his interest, that of his charter. that of his most intimate ally : we may add, that of Europe. By a single act, he has convened a complex sisuation into a simple situation. He has cemented the repose of the, Peninsula and of Europe: he has returned to England more than he had received from it., We founded the pretarvation of puce on the accession of Don Miguel to the Regency, by virtue of the right which the charter and his birth give him. Don Pedro has resolved to render this double 4bundation more solid by strengthen ing it by his express consent. Thanks to him, there will be now no pretext forresistance. Friends and ad versaries of the charter, and those who thought with us that it could not,without degrading it, be converted into an instrument of hatred, and those absolutisi liberals who, through enthusiasm for the Constitutional Government, attribeted to the Emperor the right of conferring and of taking away the Regency without other law than his good pleasure, are united by one act in the same opinion; under pain of giving to them selves the most formal Contradiction, they must receive with joy the Constitutional t nvoy of the Charter, who is at the same, time the special Envoy of Don Pedro. Ancient traditions, modern institutions. eas ter liberty, all thenE -force. Initial glen other, mutually support each other. Our readers will perhaps thank us for not having attempted, at the commencement of this discussion, to fathom all the difficulties of Don Pedro's situation. It was one of those new and delicate questions, which it is impossible to touch without endangering many interests. and, What is still more to be dreaded, without producing openly titles which require to be covered with a veil. Don Pedro succeeded to the Prince whose circumspect and periodical policy had condemned the union of the two crowns on the same head.- 1 He himself had reigned in Brazil during his father's life time. He had sanctioned the act of independence solely by virtue of the principle of incompatibility. Nay, more, ,he bad solemnly recognised this prin ciple in his own charter, which has been oppo • to as as a proof of the contrary. Will it be denied that the abdication is a consequence of the treaty? It was confusedly known that a solem act for ever se parated Portugal from Brazil: but few persons knew, or wish to investigate, the natural effects of this act.— There was, as it were, on this point a tacit convention to abstain from it. But there resulted from this very .convention an obscurity which was unfavourable to those acts of the Emperor which concerned Portugal. All these serious difficulties are reduced to idle sub. tilties, by the direct nomination of Don Miguel. A pal pable fact is substituted for problems; every one may, as he pleases, consider this fact as a homage to legiti macy, or to political necessity, as the accomplishment of the treaty of separation. of the act of abdication, or of Art. 92 of the Charter, for in fact it is all those. The Prince, whom the treaty of separation appeared to ren der a stranger to the affairs of Portugal, sanctions that treaty by delivering the power to his brother—the Prince whom, in the circumstance of incompatibility, the Cones of Lamego would probably have called to the throne, will ascend it at a later period, first passing through the Regency. Nay more; he will ascend it without dispossessing Don Pedro, who has dispossessed himself. nor the - pOsterity of Don Pedro, destined to share his power; and the rights of the two branches will be blended in the children of Don Miguel, as, S5O years ago, the rights of the two Roses were confounded in the person of Henry VII. Let the political /Unmakes exercise at their leisure all their sagacity, the cabinets and nations can only bless the happy issue of a threatening complication of interests We sincerely congratulate England on a result to, which it is not impossible that its good advice may have contributed ; for it naturally leads to the evacuation of Portugal, which its politicians had so much at heart What, in fact, should the English troops do at Lisbon? There is no need to protect the amrtunent against the'discontented in the country; it will be very able to protect itself. England, besides, has always protested, and still protests, against all patronage of this kind.— Neither is there any occasion to protect it against the re4l or supposed discontent of Spain. The accession of Don Miguel dispels every cloud. Don tilignel is as a pledge, sshieh the EmPeror of Braz.l sends to Spain of the sincerity of his intentions. It is true, that it is thlough the Charter that the new Regent makes his entrance to power ; but the author of the Charter himself acknow ledges that it is not infallible. He himself offers the remedy which we formerly pointed out on the nth of, August, to the imperfections of this law which is ne. cvssary, but susceptible of modification. Besides, it is too great a calumny on Spain to believe that the mere word Charter produsevon it as it were a fit of hydro. phobia. It has felt that under the segitnen of a Chatter the rights of Sovereigns may be defended and avenged. We also congratulate our own country on a result which will be no less profitable to it thin to England-4)e . perfect security of Spain, whence the inutility of the French occupation, whence the evacuation and in con• sequence an addition to the army of 20,000 tried soldiers, a saving of ten millions to the Treasury, greater scope opened to our commerce, and its relations with the new world rendered more free. Lastly, every motive, every pretext for division between England and us removed, and this germ of dissension—very weak, it is true, bat which the passions endeavotired to revive— wholly extirpated. It is an event by which every body gains, and nobodk loses; and this will certainly be the ease whenever she interests of legitimacy sh ill blend with the interests of the age that whick is in the nature of bath; EIROW YHa OILESTIII BATED SEPT. 8. • BUCHARNIM Meow Though the accounts from Constantinople agree in affirming that the.

The Apostolical Junta, availing itself of the favour• able opportunity presented by the insurrection in Cata lonia, has presented to his Majesty a new petitioh for the re-establishment of the Inquisition. It appears that a sagacious adviser has represented to the King, that to concede to its prayer would produce no other result than to render the whole of Europe, and two-third] of the population of Spain, indisposed to the interests of his Majesty, and to restore to the Inquisition its ins* mense revenues, which are at present. in possession of the Government.

From this refusal all the ridiculous and minibus), reports have arisen of his Majesty's intention to abdicate, to retire to Saxony, kc. to say nothing of the other absurdities which the party, whom this refusal has disappointed and irritated, has had the audacity to propagate to avenge itself with a too credulous public.
