THE LATE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL. TO THE EDITOR OP THE STAR. SlR—Having observed in a Sunday Journal, devoted to the despot of Portugal, a laboured eulogy on the late Qv EST I, as well as a violent tirade against those who designate the despot by the mere title of Mtou Et, per mit me to notice a few of the absurdities into which the writer has fallen. As to the Quart, says lie, " she was a woman of strong mind and active disposition." Now the truth is, that whatever her rank may have been, she possessed the qualities here attributed, in a very limited degree. When Lord HHTTERBUIX was our Ambassador at Lisbon, he bad occasion to address the Quasx after thedsath of her husband Joun VI. The Envoy soon discovered. that instead of a " strong mind," and " active disposition," she was only remarkable for a spirit of unforgiving ven geance against those who opposed her well-known prin ciples, and that this predominated over every other man aeration. The strength of mind of this Princess arose from the certainty of impunity in whatever she attempted, and in an inimitable effro nte ry whenever her plans were dis covered. She was the int to denounce the coespirmy of 1804 to the King, and of which she was bermlf the prints mover. Several accomplices were arrested, whose SWIM it is needless to mention, althoogh many of them still continue traitors to their country. The dime of this plot was to throw out the King. thee Regent, and place all the power in the hands of his wife. The fact 1 anew mite Is so well known, that I defy the most zealous partisans of the ruling faction to disprove my asser tion. On her return to Lisbon from Rio Janeiro in 1821, the old Queen wished to form a party for herself among the Liberals, by assuring them that she would be sufficiently strong of herself, to main tain the constitutional system. But seeing that the king had adhered to it, she threw 'tempi( into the arms of the opposite party. Flom this time forward, she never ceased to strengthen the anti-liberal faction, even after the abrogation of the charter. Miouzi always served as her fire-brand. The pretext was religion, which she pretended was attacked by the Freemasons. Those who can perceive • " strong mind" in such con temptible and wicked intrigues, cannot surely boast of much strength of mind themselves ? MI6 yet. was always the hum* instrument of her late Majesty, but she had another divine or religious one. This was " out lady of Buraco." The disgusting superstitions which this Princess, aided by some half dome old sorceresses, was in the constant habit of practising, may be alluded to without offending public decorum. Aad yet these are subjects of panegyric with the partisans of the faMion. The following fact will serve somewhat better to delimatethe character and talents of this women : Some time lifter the assassination of the Marquis de Louie, a conspiracy;planned at Lisbon against the King, was discovered and frustrated—on this occasion, the Queen wrote to her husband, denouncing the authors of the plot, according to custom, somebody having told her to take care of her own person, she replied, " well, what can they do to me ? Is there any person who dares con demn me ?" The writer in question finds fault with the want of respect shown to the Usurper, in calling him simply Mi gaol instead of Don Miguel. J' slope% en that u that, et Rollin us hippo! What will be said to hie title to respect, when I stall oai th s at ee he n 0 merely stood in a balcony of the of Ajuda, but warmly applauded the rab ble, while they cried death to Dow Pznno I death to DONNA MARIA, his brother and niece I A person who conducts himself like Wilson.; a traitor, who usurps a crown which was confided to his care ; who encourages such insults towards the members of his own family, and who has been detested in so many crimes, does not merit much respect. And if no distinction be made between the wicked and virtuous, what becomes of morality ? It is asked how those editors who do not belong to the faction of which ?Amon. is at the bead, can know what passes at the Palace, when they are i of what occurs In the res id ence of GEORGE firintThe eemparison is laughable in the extreme. The writer should have told us who are the kind of persons forming the Court of Mto vim, and reasoned accordingly. They consist of a few dissipated nobles, some ignorant priests and domestics , with whom the wh ole of his time is passed in riot and debauchery. Conversing in the most unre served manner with these minions, attended by them in all his pastimes, even to his favourite one of Mildew's's' buff,followed by guards,many of whom are secretly devoted to the Constitution, how is it possible to conceal what passes ? On the other band, it is well known that the anti-chambers of Quelus and Ajuda are filled with a mix ture of persons including all ranks, from the highest down to the lowest of the multitude; and how often is the Usurper seen talking to the ostlers and stable-boys in the Court-yard ! These and many other circumstances connected with his mode of living, render it very easy to become acquainted with the habits and character of MIGUEL.--1 am , Sir, &C. February 2. DETECTOR. Mr. O'Connell sailed from Howth at half-put eight o'clock on Sunday morning for Holyhead, on board the Escape steam-packet. Mr. O'Connell was accompanied to Howth by a number of his personal friends. A lively periodical of this month, in a biographical sketch of LISTON, states that about the year 1800 be was engaged to superintend the parochial school of st. Martin-in-the-Fields, which he soon after quitted for an engagement at a provincial theatre. A Requisition from the Merchants, Manufacturers, and Traders of London is now in progress of signing, re questing the Lord Mayor to allow the use of the • Hall, for the p ur p ose o f taking into coos• the general distress now pervading the whole of the Com mercial interests, with a view to petition Parliament to institute an immediate inquiry into the causes thereof, and for the adoption of such measures as may best tend to a speedy and effectual removal of the same. The Re quisitionists purpose asking the Lord Mayor to appoint Tuesday next, for the above purpose. Among other subjects which will engross the *aeration of Parliament, owing to the strong degree of excitement which it has created in every part of the United King dem, is the policy of renewing the Charter of the East India Company. According to a very current report, which has been circulated among the best-informed circles in the eiq, Ministers have it in contemplation to send Lord El'imborough on a special mission to the East Ladies to make a Report, and that until Its arrival Mi nisters will decline g ivin g any decided opinion as to their future intentions, and by so doing dispose of the matter, with which they would otherwise be much peepiezed., India Stock, which had previously sustained a vary so rare shock by the apprehension entertained by the poi body of the Proprietors, that the Charier of the Bet India Company would not be renewed, bee adiessod tap wards of 6 per cent. within the lest few days, swiss has been dons at 233. LITERATURE. Recollections of Travels in the East. By Join! CARRIE, Ley. Pabliehedv%COLlllllN 4 BENTLEY. Recent events combine political and commercial speculations to direct' the contemplative and inquiring mind, with all its energy, to the particular country visited by this entertaining and instructive . traveller. But the, materials of which ha avails himself derive an interest from a more sublimes and a more commanding source. The soil be heeds on is snored. It is the scene of acts recorded in holy writ, end the matter is in great pert associated with scriptural recollections, which diffuse,' over its various anecddtes and pictures, a pleasing solemnity which no fancy, however brilliant, without such assianos, could bestow. In drawing the cha racter of the oriental females, and remarking the dif ference in the expression of feeling used by the two WEN under circumstances of severe distress, the author relates the following anecdote; --" A floe instance of attach ment in misery came under our view amidst one of these scenes. Four young Turkish women had taken shelter, in a forsaken dwelling, wham many apartments bad been left desolate by the hurried flight of the wealthy family who lived there. Desertion bed been too recent to allow the removal of all the articles of ornament as well se use; but the band of the spoiler, was visible on the defaced walls and toots of the dwelling. The Carpets and divans were taken sway, and the air Same freshly through the broken lattice-Work ithe windows. In one of the select &em bers these . four friendless fugitives bad takes refuge ; and their attachment to each other seemed to increase as destruction drew nigh their place of coacealment. The fear of a painful doers was dreadful is these delicate women, wises life had hitherto bees on of calm and indalgenes ; and often with trembling steps and an guished features. they inquired, like the victim King of . "if the Maness of death was past!" It come at hot, ° and the hand of the stranger could not sea it. As they lived compaeas is fear and solitude, so they resolved to perish, and the hand of the murderer did not spare. They fell at the same moment beneath the pnr eases 'wort." Records of Captain Clopperton's Last Expedition to Africa. By RICHARD LARDNER. NustAmes ST COMM' ass seenee. This work, written by the faithful attendant and the only surviving amber of the Expedition, is full of in terest. The following account of the death of Mungo Park, an event for a long time the subject of anxious conjecture, extinguishes all hopes that may have bees entertained that his papers may have survived his fate. It is satisfactory to find from it that the 'melancholy catas trophe was not the result of a hostile feeling ea the part of the natives, but that it originated is mistake. " Disregarding the prudes* counsel of the Sultan of Yonri," says the author, " the ill-fated adventurers pro ceeded down the Query& as far as die had of Bass, from whence their strange looking canoe was observed by one or two of the inhabitsats, whose shouts brought numbers of their eonspaidons, armed with bows and prows, to the spot. At that time the usurpations of the Palmas had be g an a ho the general talk ea black population of the country, se that the people of Booms, who bad only heard of that alike nation, fancied Mr. Park and his associates to be some of them, coming with the intention of taking their town, and subjugating its in habitants. Under this imprisons, they mated the unfortu nate Englishman from the beach with showers of missiles and poisoned arrows, which were returned by thelatter with a discharge of musketry. A ema/1 white fag had been pe skiest, waved by our catrymes is token of their pear able intentions ; but this symbol not being understood by the people of Bass, they continued firing Maws till they were joined by tits whole rash population of the island, when the unequal contest was renewed with =violas . co than ever. In the mean tim e , the Erg , the blacks they had with the m , k e pt fi r i ng unceasingly among the multitude en shore, killing many, and wounding a still greater number, till their ammuni tion being expended, wad seeing every hope of life cut off, they threw their goods overboard ; and desiring their sable assistants to swim towards the beach, locked themselves firmly in each other's arms, and springing into the water, instantly sank, and were never seen again. The bodies of the two slaves, who attempted to save their lives by swimming, were pierced with a grove of arrows, but they subsequently recovered from the effects of their wounds, and were certainly arrived when we were at Boum ; but, as I understood afterwards, they were carefully concealed in order to prevent our making any inquiries of them re lathe to the affair. Resistance being at an end, the float ing property bad been eagerly laid hold of by the people of Boas, and taken in triumph to their city. In the evening they formed a circle round it, and for several days and nights, nothing was to be seen or heard but feasting and rejoicing; but it happened before their revelries were well over, an infectious disease, whereof they had not pre viously the most distant idea, raged in the island, and swept off the Sultan, with numbers of his subjects; and it was remarked that those who had been most active in the destruction of the strangers, were cut off to i man, expiring in great agony. The people endeavoured to ap pease the wrath of the white man's GOD (by whose in strumentality they were firmly persuaded the destroying plague had reached them,) by the offering of sacrifices, and afterwards by setting ire to all the articles found on the surface of the water; shortly after which, it is as serted, the pestilence left the island." Never at any period of the frosts, since 1814, has there been known so thick and solid a bad, of ice ma the Smpeatine exhibited yesterday. %Nis mate of affairs' brings no delight to the skaiter, the surface being co vered to a great depth with snow, while the meadows of the ice beneath is such as to defy the most pererraring bpd to make progress.

With the exec therefore, of a few circles, in which some very excellent performers exhibited, the ice was perfectly char of *alters, but the promenaders were numerous, alimetod by the gleams of canalise which cheered the scene isms twelve till three o'clock.

The monthly meeting of theMetropolitanAssociation for procuring a Reform in Parliament was held last night at the Theatre of the London Mechanics' Institution, Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane ; and the subject discussed was the Birmingham Meeting. Mr. HAND proposed a Resolution expressing great admiration of the Birmingham Meeting, and a desire to rate with the proposed union. gyrate was opposed by two or three speakers, and the following Resolutions, moved by Mit. HNTHERING TON, were then unanimously carried. BIRMINGHAM MEETING. " 1. That this Metropolitan Areciation, for effecting by Cassel tutiostal means a BaJkal Reform of Parliament, heartily concur let the sentiments contained in the resent Birmingham Declaration ; sad foal it their duty Is express their admiration at the ability and spirit which composed and promulgated 11 document so ho nourable to that town, and so worthy of the ancient character of the British people. _ . _ "1.

Nor, in spite of remonstraace and public suffering, does it yet relax in these cotes; for, including the half pay, the dead weight, the &delver bilis, sad the debt to the Bank of England, the whole public debt is new at Mao MIT minions more than it was at the end of the war in 1415, then& from sisty se snooty minions per anima have been messed on the people. " S. That this Association perfectly Agree with the patriotic Meeting at Birmingham, that doe investigation should be made Antis the expenditure of such vast sums; sa4 Members of the House et Common* who, fur themselves or families, have. as Stewards. be trayed their trust, ought to be leaden' refuted with Lateran ; white Borough Patrons, se ho have conspired for personal advatitagt s, ought equally to be made responsible. In these debtors to the Nation the public creditors have some hope of indemnity. for the time has arrived whets it seams lappoasible fur a beggared people to continue to pay the Interest of debts created by the notorious profligacy of their Stewards, who, not cootent with drawing zt millions in taxes, have created a debt of SSA millions, and reitilered the nation tributary to Jews and money lendero—ntortgaged ail its property—and pawned all its industry In perpetuity for the laymen of an inglorious tribute of thirty millions per swung. History records Instances of conquered people paying tribute to landless conquerors ; but the case is new of tribute being imposed by generation upon generation. ha support of ques dens of which 'according generations . can have no dignisance At the some time as the present price of the fends enables all creditors to withdraw, seam at a profit, they must here after blame only their own cupidity and hardihood if the time antra when the nation refers them for Indemnity in those who chiefly profited by their credulity. This seems certain, that the continuance of the payment of a tribute of thirty millions Is st mice so ignondnems and so impossible. that the wise and pro &at will. while they are able, cease to be parties in exacting their share of It. " O. That while this Ageociation lament the necessity of the con elosion, that those who iniptovidestly lent their money to a hurrupt House of Commons, and who may obstinately persevere in cot:- dada, their emalitience, should, by palls circumstances. be placed In hand, they invite the concurrence of the same parties in supporting the only altomative in which lies their security. If the nada, from mind modem, can cognitive to pity them tribute, till as equitable adjutant ma be formed, the nation cannot, et the same time, afford to pay double tribute, for the sup port it MAIM 1111111a6idimisiets, kept up for the advantage nt. iliretsgh Patrons and idemben .1 the House of Commons. Those parties who borrowed the money, and spent or absorbed it, seek aka. it steal, a perpetual ede•atage is an stay estabffliment, which costs seven millions per gonmn, in addition' to the Dead Weight ; in a Naval Retabibbnient of Six M4l. lions ; and In other iistalishownts, Pea si and Sm.- cures, of upwards of Five Windless more; the whole of which, in former periods of pews, were supported with tee.), three, four, and at oast Five ; by which further ex ac - doss they have ineseeeed poverty to such an extent that the saucy and very slender provisions of the poor cost from Seven to Ten Minions more, sad other gasessnients an equal bom— b' all these teatime on • suffering people, the present House of 01113010136 are almost unaninsoos parties ; and whenever questions are raised, they are about pounds, and not about minium. It, therefore, merits the scrims consideration of the body of the fund - braider. whether their security is not identical with the abatement of this wasteful expenditure; for the period cannot be distant when, in the division of an inadequate revenue, a scramble niu:t arise between the Tribute Receivers and the Sinecurists. " 7. That this Association perfettlylgrees with their Brethren at Birmingham, that no act could be more unjust and iniqelusus then to diminish the sibount and usual facilities of currency, so as to double or treble its value. without ar the same time and in an equal proportion changing the public and privet. obligations of parties, sod adopting measures to facilitate the arrangements of the alsdog means of parties to their debts in the Previous and new value of money. It was io its effects a robbery of the de. fenceless class of debtors, and tended to throw all society into con fusion and discord ; while to continue to anew the same amount. of taxes, as debts in hill, to the Crown, could sot fall to produce the universal ruin and distress which is now felt in every branch of agriculture, massidactores, and trade. It 'Alined a watt of fore sight, and an ignorance of the economy of society.which could not have existed in a Parliament freely chosen by the people. and likely, 'herring, to consist dawn of character and political wisdom ; and it affords somber proof, In addition to too many, nap the present Masse of COINIIOOII4 has too identity with the people, art: that therefore our only hope is in a ►Wiwi Beton), and in a fair, free. and sisal repreentatioe of t►e people. spas the principle sat annual Par/laments, universe! suffrage, sod voting by ballot. hi One. we regard all other inomores or espedints as adding equiv.)- satin to injury. skied that whatever may hy 4see or attempted by sock a Hone elConistiosis as the present, will in the end prove may a snare to the people. and a jub to answer its own selfish put poses."
