(Signed) "HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." The foreign policy of GREAT BRITAIN is admirably managed. States and Empires are overthrown ; new treaties are concluded, and old treaties violated ; Crowns are bestowed, and Sovereignties established ; natural and lawful rights are subverted and disowned, and the great principle of Monarchy outraged, that treason and usurpa tion may triumph: perfidy and perjury are admitted to be the strongest claims to a Throne; and the Qv Lex, whose legitimate Royalty was recognized by the KING of ENGLAND, is driven to the uttermost part of the earth, that her Crown may be worn, and her sceptre wielded, and her dominions laid waste, by the Tyrant who has dared—and with impunity, and without reproach to insult our SOVEREIGN, and to laugh the power of, tlas country to scorn. And all these thligs are done, per mitted, an.l suffered, as if the fee-simple of this Realm were vested in the nominal servants of the Crown ; and the people had no interest in transactions which affect the well-being, and compromise the honor and the lute tufty, of the State.—ls the Ottoman Empire to be dis taembered, and Russia to possess herself of Constanti nople, to the ultimate destruction of our influence and our cornmerc , ... in, if not to our absolute expulsion from, the Metliterrm.an:—What right have the people of Eng land, or their Representatives, to inquire into the matter ? Is it not enough for them that they are allowed to sup port the stupendous machinery of Government at home, sod to endure all the ruinous consequences of Ministerial complacency abroad ? When the British flag no longer Jests in the iEg,ean, and when every port in the South (If Europe is shut against the British Navy, it will be time enough to apprize " the people" of the blessed results of our foreign policy in that quarter.—ls Greece to be rendered independent, and exalted into a Sovereign State, and the Royal pensioner of Great Britain to be raised to the high' h:,n•ir and dignity of a SovcreignPrince; and is England, in addition to the already exorbitant income drained from her 'wit p overi sh cd re - sources by this unprofitable personage, t, puma( e the i yatent of millions upon millions of nt.iitcy to such a dependant Potentate :—What right have " the people" to busy zhomselves with any such arrange :add, or their rem ..ie•ltatives to ask questions about the ,outinuanee cf the princely foreigner's pension—even itteutch it be wore than double the amount of the annual rev, noes enjoyed by Princes of the Blood Royal of En:rland ? Is it not enough for them that they are al lowed, out of their own nearly exhausted finances, to pay The Illustrious Stranger" sixty-three thousand pounds per annum—to enable him to maintain the dig of his new station, to which the millions upon mil nor's just guaranteed, are totally inadequate? Is the I?:iarner of the Portuguese Crown to be recog tUsetl, —is " tou EL to be raised up by the singular :orei!:ti policy of the Noble Secretary,"—as the Marquis a Lox Du DE Kit v observed last night in the House of Lards—" Avlillst others n ished to knock him down;"-- and the QUEI:N of that kingdom which stands in the r•}es of Europe the " most ancient and faithful ally of Great Britain," to be df2privel of her lawful possessions And of her rightful succession to the throne of her an ••estnrs ; and her Ministers, and the Regency acting in her behalf, to be diselai.ned ant: repudiated : —On what pomiible pretence can `• the paople" presume to interfere in the discussion cf, or the decision upon, such a ques non ?—ls it net enotuiii for them that the taxes drawn from every article of their consumption are expended in the maintenance of placemen, pensioners, and sinecurists, alai that when the character of the country shall be utterly :Intl irretrievably destroyed, they may be permitted to , bre in the national disgrace ? What right have we, at hone, to expect information pen such suljects. until they are well known, and pub licly discussed, all over the Continent ? Enough for us when all Europe is acquainted with the determina tion of our Cabinet on every question of foreign policy, ~1• may be permitted to glean such information of the measures already decided upon, as the " casual conver .ation" of the world may furnish. Such, at least, seems to Le the wise, prudent, and considerate opinion of our Rulers ; such the motive of action, and such the guiding principle, of their policy, foreign and domestic. The affairs of Gri.ece and Portugal were incidentally brought before the House of Lords last night, when the Marquis of LONDONDERRY said "he had just rsturned from France, where he had learned that a Prince connected with this country cs as nominated Sovereign of Greece by the Allied Powers." Now we would ask, if the capital of a continental nation be the place in which a British Nobleman, a Member of the Senate, 61,0::i? !'r expected to learn for the first time that a ineastn,.ui which his one country Vaa so intimately concerned—if not so deeply invoked as she may hereafter prove to be— had been finally decided upon ? Is there nothing due f:oin the Ministry to the three Estates of the Realm—nothing to the Aristocracy nothing to the People, that c!:ch hit portant fact. should be withheld from their knowledge, or not officially promulgated for such a length of time as the negociations respecting the sovereignty of Greece have been pending ' "It was some time since the Noble Se cretary for Foreign Affairs had promised to lay papers on their table relating to the nogociation with Greece,"-- said Lord Lox DON DERRY,- -and well might his Lordship add that " no time ought to be lost clearing up the f,, , reign policy of Gic c: B a lora IN ." Parliament has now been as sembled nearly two months ; and all that the Foreign Secre tary deigns to tell the country is, that " he does not think it incumbent upon him to answer whatever questions a Noble Lord may think proper to put ; but that His Royal Highness Prince Leoent D was the personage to whom the Allied Sovereigns had offered the Sovereignty of I Greece, but some points of the negociation were not concluded." This is explicit, and cannot fail to be as satisfactory as it is explicit. The Royal Pensioner, how ever, his nut been called upon to " forego his position of nattn•alization in this country," nor to relinquish his paltry sinecure of sixty-three thousand pounds per annum ! With respect to PORTUGAL, the Marquis of CLAN- It re A !IDE merely asked "whether His Majesty's Go- vernment had received official notification of the estab lishment of a Regency at Terceira by the lawful QUEEN of PORTUG AL ; and, if they had, whether any steps had been taken by them in consequence?" To w hich Lord A BERDEEN roplied,—that " Government had heard of such a Regency, but they had no official relations with the persons composing it." This is certainly a very cavalier way of speaking of a Regency ap pointed by, and acting on behalf of, a QUEEN who has been formally recognised as QUEEN, de jure, of PORTUGAL, by all the Courts of Europe, as well as by the KING of GREAT BRITAIN. and received on the British shores, and treated during her residence in Eng 4and, with all the honours due to a Crowned Head ; with all the attention and respect to which her exalted station entitled her in the Court of an ancient Ally ; and with all the sympathy and affectionate tenderness which the benevolent heart of our beloved Monarch has ever de lighted in manifesting—to those worthy of his regard, or claiming his generous protection.—Tho foreign policy of GREAT BRITAIN is admirably managed ! Mexican Papers, received —so-- this day, mention that tran quillity prevailed in that country. The Packet brought to England five hundred thousand dollars. Exchange on London is 47 to 48. There are a great number of arrivals from the East Indies to-day ; but the papers are not of a later date than those received yesterday. By private advicea it appears that the extraordinary failure of PA I.M ER and Co. is to be ascribed solely to a determination on the part of a certain leading London house to reduce its credit from four hun dred thousand, to two hundred thousand pounds. The pro fits of PA LmEa's House, for many years past, were es timated at sixty thousand pounds annually ; and many families are utterly ruined by the failure. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Although it appears, by yesterday's Bulletin, that his Majesty's health has rather improved, the Funds have not improved : Con. soh, which left off yesterday at 921 for the Account, opened at the same price this morning, with little or no business doing at pre. sent. Consols may, at present, be quoted 1,24, for Money 921 6.- The Falmouth letter states, that the Mexican Packet has brought a freight of 13 tons of money on merchants' account, which is about the same as previously stated. In the Foreign Market, Greek is not so good as yesterday. In other foreign Securities little doing. A Mail has arrived from Vera Cruz by the Opossum_ exiled from Vera Cruz 12th ?lurch; from Havannah 28th ditto. Calcutta Papers to the 7th January, and Madras Gazettes to the 17th January, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. It is said that the demand against the house of Pal mer and Co. of Calcutta, are 300 Lacs of rupees. We have received Ceylon Gazdtes, but they contain no news. Raykessoro Duct has been found guilty of uttering forged paper. In consequence of the outrages committed on the Company's ter. ritories by the Burman, three Companies of the 45th Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Shaw, have proceeded thither on board the Diana steamer, with a flotilla of gun-boats. No oppoi.ition was offered to their landing. The Burmans fled into the jungle. From the Madras Papers—We never remember so many orpor. tunities of vessels 'tailing for England about the same time as the present season has offered, the Calcutta market, as well as that of Madras, at present affords but little inducement to the embarkation of capital in the exportation of British goods to this part of the world, and the ship-owners, who have reckoned on realizing a hand some profit, will find themselves disappointed. CALCUTTA PRICE CURRENT. —The market for Europe goods continues to be very depressed, and the trade shy ; the piece goods and Twiu market extremely flat ; quotations almost nominal. In Indigo, the transactions this week have not been very extensive.— Saltpetre in moderate demand. Silks without enquiry ; piece goods dull. A few purchases have been made for the Eastward. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The Consol Market has continued steady the whole of the morn ing at 921, alternately buyers and sellers, with no speculations of consequence going forward. In the Foreign Market nothing doing except in Greek bonds, which have lowered since yesterday about 2 per cent. Extract of • letter from Mexico to one of the first commercial houses in the City :--. Mexico, 31aacrt 6.—" The New Executive Government is established, but has injured its credit by altering and suspending the mode of payment of Custom-house debentures, issued for reimburse ment of instalments paid on the last law. There is scarcely any doubt of an early repeal of part of the law of prohibition, and that White Cotton goods, Brandy, and some other articles, will soon be :.Vowed to be imported. British manufactures are very scarce, and the prices have advanced. His Majesty's Ship Fairy, now arrived at Vera Crur, is to take bullion and specie to the Havanaah and England."

APRIL 30. — Sir H. HALSOR!) and M. TIERNEY have been for the last two days back in constant attendance upon his MAJESTY, and still conti nue in close waiting. It was this morning announced that his MAJESTY had passed a favourable night, and was somewhat relieved from his embarrassment of breathing. This forenoon their Royal Highnesses Princess A uG usT A and the Duchess of GroucesT en visited his M.tj rsTv at the Castle, with whom they had a long interview ; and after partaking of some refreshment, le!'t the Castle, on their return to town. Their itoyal Highnesses h ere met at Hounslow by his Majesty's servant , , with a relay of his Majesty's road horses, which conuctA them to the Castle, and re-conveyed them back to Hounslow, where their own carriages and horses were waiting to conduct them back to town. COURT NEWS. The Princess Aun UST A, and the Duchess of Gt.cit ES'l En, ar rived together at the Palace about twelve o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses had an interview with his MAJESTY.

The Physicians were in attendance on the Kura during the day, and it was expected would sleep at the Castle last night. The Bulletin was shown in town at the King's Palace, St. James's. The Officers of the Household in attendance were the same as on Thursday, with the addition of Sir THODAI 'LOMOND, the principal Equerry to the KING, who appeared in full regimentals. Such was the anxiety felt to learn the state of his MAJESTY'S health, that a great number of persons were collected at two o'clock at the entrance to the Palace, waiting the arrival of the Bulletins. The doors were opened soon after that time, and the company were admitted and ushered to the Pre sence Chamber, where the Bulletin was shown : the first person who entered his name on the list of inquirers, was his Royal High ness Prince LEOPOLD. Among the nobility who thronged to the Palace to see the Bulletin was the venerable Earl Fivzwir.t.ust. The number of inquirers yesterday far exceeded those of the day preceding.

MAY DAY. J.* the custom on the calenda, or Ow car.taionly called May-day, for the joveidle :Et to tin a little after midnight, and w•ilk to *ow.: neighbouring woods, accompanieddwith broke down branches from the trei. , .t, and adorned them with nosegays and crowns of flowmi.When this was done, t h ey returned with their booty homewards, about the rising of the sun, and made their doors and window.; to triumph in the flowery spoil. The after-part of the day was chiefly spent in dancing round a tall pole, called a May-pole, which, being placed in a convenient part of the village, stood there consecrated, as it were, to the g•oldess of flowers, without tho least violation offered to it, in the whole circle of the year. And this is not the custom of the British common people only, but it is the custom of the generality of other nations ; particularly of the Italians, where Virgil tells us the youth of hot!: sexes were ac...n..t..tued to go into the fields on the calends of May, and bring from thence' the branches of trees, singing all the way as they caw,. home, and so Blare them on the doors of ti!ei. houses. Stow tells us, in his Survey of London",' that in the ni.mth of May—namely, on May-day in the mo:n • ing- —every man, except impediment, would walk into tha sweet ineddows and greed woods, there to rejoice their Apiritswith the beauty and savour of sweet flowers, and with the harmony of birds praising Goo in their kite . e." lie quotes from Hall an account of Henry VIII. •• riding a Maying," from Greenwich to the high ground of Shooter's Hill, with Queen Katharine his wife, accom panied with many lords and 'adj.'s. He further tells us, " I find also that, in the mouth of May, the citisons of London (of all estates) lightly, in every parish, or sometimes two or three parishes joining together, had their several Mavings,t and did fetch in . .day-poles, with divers warlike shows, with good arcl:era, morriee-dancers, and other for pastime, all the day long ; and, towards tho evening, they had sti,s , e-. plaies, and bonfires in the streets." And again he says, " In the reign of Ileum the r the Aldermen Sheriffs of London, being on May-day a'. the Bishop of Loudon's wood, and having then, n wo• ahipful dinner for themselves and other cotner.=, the Monk of Bury, sent them by pursuivant a im, I commendation of that season, beginning thus : " !Welty Flora! goddess of fresh flowers, Which clothed bath the soil is lusty grec.. Made buds to spring with her sweet shower. By influence of the sun sheetw, To do pleasance of intent full eltane, Unto the state which now sit here Hath Ver sent down her own daught:r dear." - . . . . - . Mr. Borlase in his curious account of the nianners of Cornwall, tells us,—" An ancient custom still retained by the Cornish is that of decking their doors and porches, on the first of May, with green sycamore and hawthorn boughs, and of planting trees, or, rather, stumps of trees, before their houses : and on May-eve they from towns make excursions into the country, and, having cut down a tall elm, brought it into town, fitted a straight and taper pole to the end of it, and painted the same, erect it in the most public places, and, on holidays and festivals, adorn it with flower garlands, or ensigns and streamers." He adds, " This usage is nothing more than a gratu lation of the spring season ; and every house exhibited a proper signal of its approach, to testify their universal joy at the revival of vegetation." The author of the pamphlet intitled " The Way to Things by Words and to Words by Things," in his Specimen of an Etymological Vocabulary, considers the May-pole in a new and curious light. We gather from him that our ancestors held an anniversary assembly on May-day : the column of May (whence our May-pole) was the great standard of justice in the Ey-commons, or fields of May. Here it was that the people, if they saw cause, deposed or punished their governors, heir barons, their kings. The judge's bow or wand (at this time dis continued, and only faintly represented by a trifling nose gay), and the staff or rod of authority in the civil, and in the military (for it was the mace of civil power, and the truncheon of the field-officers). are both derived from hence. A Mayor, hesays, received his name from this May, in the sense of lawful power. The crown, a Mark of dignity and symbol of power, like the mace and sceptre, was also taken from the May, being represen tative f the garland or crown ; when hung on the top of the Mayorpole was the great signal for convenieg the people. The arches of it, wh;;I: spring fret the circle, and meet together at the mound or round 'mil% being necessarily so formed to sailiend it on ti.c top of the pole. The word May-pole. he observes, is a pleoninin ; in French it is called sing) , the Mei. This is, he further adok, one of the most ancient customs, which, from the ..mote-t agls. Las teen, by re petition from year to year, perpct!iated down to cur diva, not being at this instant wally explo.:cd, especially in the lower class of life; it v..as considered I.s the dory day, that divided the confines of winter and suamer, allusively to which there e a.; i:lstit;:ted a spoithi: aar between two parties; the one in deft ace ci the n tinuance of winter, the other for bringing n the Kin - Lter.
