TIIE KING. We have the happiness to state, not only that his NIAJESTY passed a comfortable night on Tuesday, but that he was throughout the whole of yesterday considered in an improved and still improving state —a gratifying fact upon which we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of congratulating the public. Within the last few days of the KING'S illness, his MA 'E;TV sent a kind, gracious, and affectionate message to his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, which of ! course was received by his Royal Highness with every manifestation of sympathy and regard. As the latest re port of his MAJESTY'S state affords the cheering hope of eventual restoration, it will be an additional gratification to his loyal subjects to know that the utmost cordiality prevails among a family so dear to the Nation.—The Nike of WELLINGTON arrived at the Palace at an early hour in the afternoon, on a visit to his MAJESTY. The Physicians remained as usual in constant attendance on His MAJESTY during the day, and it was expected t;ould sleep at the Palace. Copies of the bulletin were forwarded to the Duke of CLARENCE at Bushy-park, and also to the other branches of the Royal Family. The bulletin was shown at the King's Palace, St. James's, by Earl HOWE, as Lord in waiting. Among the nu merous inquiries in the course of the day after the state of His MAJESTY'S health, were Princess EsTEnu zY, the Lord Advocate of Scotland, and many others, for whose names we have no room. The Bulletin of yesterday is, as usual, very laconic, and, like all that have preceded it, leaves the precise nature of his BIAJESTY . B complaint a subject of public surmise and speculation. It merely states that his MAJESTY is much the same, but had passed a corn fottable night. There is reason to believe, however, that an im provement has taken place since the issuing of the Bulletin yesterday morning. Reports, however, in general, are of a fa vourable nature ; and, notwithstanding the suspicious air of mystery in which the Physicians have Involved this pain. fully interesting subject, his Majesty's health has been improving daily ever since Saturday last. The visit of the Bishop of Chi chester had been construed into proof of the King having become much worse, and it was reported by those who are curiously un. happy in drawing sinister inferences from any given facts, that ❑othing could have brought the Bishop to the palace but his being sent far express to administer those consolations of re which would imply the dangerous state of the Royal Patient. It appears, however, that while it was supposed the venerable Prelate was engaged in the mournful duties of his holy office beside the sick bed of the Sovereign, he was taking a ride in cne of the Royal pony phaetons with Lord Strathaven through the lawns and woods of the Great Park, enjoying, " the fresh breeze on the beaks of Virginia-water, and inspecting the new and spacious dining and music rooms now erecting by his Majesty's order at the Royal Lodge." The countenances of the courtiers are cheerful, and if they can be relied on, betoken minds quite at ease. In a case in which the physicians, for some reason or other not intelligible to the world, consider it their duty to be as mystical and mute as the Monks of La Trappe, people naturally look with anxiety to the evidence of circumstances. So far as it go;s this sort of evidence is at present such as gives ground for hoping that the feeling of his Majesty's subjects will be soon grati fied with the news of his convaleacence.--Herofd. Prince LEOPOLD came to town yesterday, from his :esideuce at Claremont. The Prussian and Mexican Ministers transacted bu siness yesterday with the Earl of ABERDEIN at the Foreign-office. Count LupoLv, the Neapolitan Minister, has left town for Parts. Despatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial office, for the Hon. General PONSONBY, the Lieutenant-Governor of Malta. The dinner intended to have been given to-morrow by Ilr. Secretary PEEL, as Secretary of State for the Home Department, to the Judges, the Vice-Chancellor, the Judge of the Prerogative Court, &c. in honour of the KING'. birth-day, has been postponed, in consequence of the decease of Sir R. PEEL. Private letters from Lisbon state that M. BLANCHET, tie French Consul-General, has left Lisbon, on his re 11.rn to France, having embarked for Havre. It is false, as stated in the Journal du Commerce, that Count na BOURMONT has received despatches which : , iforin him of the conclusion of a treaty of alliance, offen sue and defensive, between the Barbary Powers, and that Excellency had required, in consequence, a reinforce :urn of 20,000 men.—Moniteur. The brig Le Grece has arrived at Cadiz, after a pas sage of 30 days from the Havannah. She brings accounts that the arrests in consequence of the conspiracy disco kered in the island of Cuba are not yet discontinued. The same vessel has likewise brought intelligence to Cadiz that the Spanish convoy which sailed lately from that port for the Havannah has been dispersed by a violent Tale of wind, in which two of the ships forming part of the same have perished, with all bands on board.—Cou ritr Francais. A corps d'armee of Baden, lately posted, en echellons, along the Bavarian frontiers, for the purpose of observing an imaginary enemy, received from its outpost the war 1e intelligence that the beating of a drum had just been heard in a Bavarian village of the vicinity, and that con -1 *quently the enemy must be approaching, when the rhole army of Baden put itself in motion, and formed itself instantly in order of battle. The Commanding General harangued his troops, reminding them of the necessity of defending the Black Forest and Odinwald— the Thermopylae of Germany :—" Sic prandete Commi- I:tones tanquam spud inferos crenaturi." The surgeons ran to the spot with chirurgical instruments and lint in their hands, the cannon were loaded, when a spy an nounced that the beating of the drum which bad been hard was not that of the enemy, but of a rope-dancer, ;w caused his tricks of agility and strength to be ac companied by this warlike music. Other similar in stances might be quoted, which certainly do honour to the strategy of Baden. In this case the Minister of the Grand Duke has compromised his Government, and co .cred it with ridicule.—Messager des Chanabres. ooLIVICII, MAY 5.--The Hecla has ' just arrived her e from the coast of Africa to be paid off.

There is a country in Europe which is quiet undis • turbed ; where the people live comfortably in the midst of what may in some senses be called poverty ; when? every body is happy and content in spite of great inequality of ranks, and may be said to be to all intents, very nearly free, with institutions that may very nearly be called feudal. This country is Sweden, and the advantages which it enjoys, it owes to its king. Since Charles John ascended the throne, the object of all his endeavours has been the advancement of civilisa tion in the country which has adopted him, the improve ment of its institutions, and the means of giving its go vernment a character of moderation in accordance with the ideas of the nineteenth century, and, in short, directing the whole of the administration of the state towards the well-being of the people. At no period of her history was Sweden ever more tranquil or contented. Under none of her kings, has she made such adAnces towards that state of prosperity which is the eager desire of all the nations in Europe, and which ought to be the aim of their sovereigns. Sweden is the only European country which is go verned by one of the men who rose to greatness during the French revolution, and passed from commanding re publican armies to a throne. Does this account for the admirably good behaviour of Charles John ? Is it be cause he is not considered as one of the legitimates, that he displays more affection for the people, more attention and attachment to their well-being, more order in every department of the government ; and, above all, more regu larity in the arrangement of the finances, and more economy in the expenditure ? Is it because he happened to be born in one of the non-noble classes of society, that he is more accessible to individuals, more engaging in his behaviour towards associations and collections of men ; more conciliatory with the constituted bodies which exist in the country ; and that, when he addresses the different orders of the state, and the good country-people in par ticular, he talks to them of his gratitude for the services they do to him and to the country, his respect for their rights, and his faithful attention to his duties ? This is what every body in Sweden sees and hears of Charles John ; and, to say the truth, it is impossible for us to help saying, that if it is to his being not a legiti mate that we owe all this, the having a king that is not a legitimate, is a capital thing for a country. We do not, however, enjoy our good luck with the se curity that we could wish. Circumstances which are hardly noticed in the very places where they occur, or in any other parts of Europe, cause us in Sweden a but too well founded uneasiness about the future. Our first ma gistrate (as the king designates himself) is far advanced in life. He has not such vigorous health as all the Swedes wish he had; and political intrigues have begun already upon the strength of it. The Holy Alliance diplomatists are trying to work upon the people, and pave the way, whenever the present king is taken from us, for that worst of all plagues, a restoration. It is not only the manner in which the son of the former King Gustavus is received in certain courts, the titles that are given to him, and tho honours which are paid him, which make me and many of my countrymen think there are projects on foot for depriving the new dynasty of the crown ; but it is what is doing in our own coun try itself ; as it has began to be found out that restora tions are not things to be accomplished without the con sent of the people ; it is towards an effect upon public opinion that the enemies of the existing order of things direct their operations ; not against the King himself, for, on the contrary, they affect to give him all the merit which is due to him, but against his son the Prince Royal. He has not, they tell the people, either the strong understanding or the good heart of his father. Bred in the midst of grandeur and wealth, they say he is proud, haughty, and contemptuous. Having been cut off from the attainment of that experience which is only to be gained by mixing with mankind, and coming into con tact with others on a footing of equality, he seems to be lieve himself of some kind of superior nature. As fond of pleasures as he is given to dislike toil, his reign will be quite the contrary of his father's. Under Prince Oscar,Sweden will have nothing to expect but despotism, dissipation, and disorder. By way of a foil to this picture, the same people speak with the greatest severity of the ex-king Gustavus. They avow that Sweden was quite right in driving him from the throne ; but they take the opportunity to represent his son under the most amiable colours, and to dwell upon the friendship with which he is honoured by all the sove reigns. They ask, if he ought to be punished for the faults of his father? and they insinuate, that Prussia, Austria, Russia, and France, are all pledged to support his pretensions to the throne whenever Charles John dies, and that, in consequence, we ought to think no more of Oscar, whose character by itself would be a sufficient rea son for excluding him from the succession. All this is what keeps us in alarm, and with the more reason, as the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia are of about the same age and state of health as our King, and perhaps the first of them, if any thing, rather the worst life of the two. And if these should die, all those who have entered into any personal engage ments with Charles John will have ceased to live ; so that after this the engagements may soon be expected to be broken and forgotten. I have no news on any of the other points you asked for. I can only assure you, that all that has been said about Prince Oscar and his behaviour during his travels in the Netherlands and Germany, is entirely without foundation. He has sometimes been under the necessity of insisting upon his rank, with people who made a point of forgetting it. And this is the whole of his fault. A numerous meeting of the Irish Members was held at the Thatched House Tavern on Tuesday, Sir Jou w NEWPORT in the Chair, when a series of Resolutions were adopted, expressive of their determination to resist, by every means in their power, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S intended imposition of fresh taxes upon Ireland. The Lords last night threw out the Bill for the enclosure of Hampstead Heath. The facts of the case are as fol• low :—The father of the present Lord, Sir T. M. Wilson, possessed the estate in fee, with the right of granting building leases over the whole of it,—a power which he exercised during life with great moderation. At his death he entailed the estate on his son, and, wil ling to confer a boon on the parishioners, prevented him son, by a clause in the will, from granting building leases on the manor. By the will, therefore, the estate was left as the award of Sir. T. M. WILSON, his inability to build on it as that of the inhabitants of Hampstead and the citizens of London. This pro hibitory clause the lord of the manor has endeavoured to set aside by application to Parliament ; and he has done so with exactly as much propriety and justice, as the copyholders would exercise, were they in their turn to petition Parliament to annul the other clauses of the will, which secure to him the possession of his estate. PORTUGAL. TO )liD A BERDEEN. M v Lon i), —No sooner did the Duke of Wellington's Ministry de flare its neutrality in the Portuguese Ques tion, than it demonstratc(!, beyond contradiction, its in terference in favour of Don Miguel, by the expensive nii,sion of Lord Strauuford to Rio, in order to overawe Don Pedro into a sufferooce of the usurpation of his brother : while, to blind the eyes of the public from the policy which the British Ministry resolved to follow, hut was afraid to avow—the Ambassador was n ithdrawn from Lisbon ; but you continued, like Sheridan's Dandy. " to provoke the caper which you seemed to chide." Th're can be no doubt, however, that you have found him a more restive animal to govern than you expected ; for your Lordshiphas declared lately, that he is" incorrigible, cowardly, cruel, and perjured ;" and, as a salvo. your Lordship has declared, that he shall not he recognised without he grants an amnesty, and restores the property of those who are persecuted by him for having followed the cause of their legitimate Queen. This condition, ho w - ever, as a justification for the British Government to re cognise Don Miguel dc facto as King of Portugal, I solemnly protest against;—for, as a measure of humanity, it will prove altogether illusory ; and, as a composition for justice to the adherents of the Queen, it is revolting to every mind even to glance at it. It is, indeed, difficult to comprehend how the British ministry, who recognised the legitimate Queen, and ex acted the formal abdication of her father, Don Pedro, should consider as a crime the fidelity of the Queen's sub jects, who suffer for a cause that Europe recognised and pointed out as lawful : an amnesty would amount to a pardon. But how can Great Britain, the special ally of the Queen, advise and reckon lawful such a measure for the victims of fidelity, when it would force them at once to acknowledge the usurpation, or be banished, and suffer their property to be confiscated if they did not agree to it ? Leaving, however, apart so unpleasant a discussion, myl present object is merely to endeavour to convince your Lordship and the Duke of Wellington, that the conces sion of an amnesty by Don Miguel would only prove a' snare to entrap the unwary, who might be induced to avail themselves of it. If your Lordship would but con- descend to inquire what are the crimes for which the Por tuguese are persecuted, you would find that Don Miguel persecutes, as his enemies, all who took any part in esta blishing the constitution of 1820—all who were pleased with the charter of Don Pedro—and all who were for- merly accused or suspected of freemasonry. Those are the persons who are persecuted—the flower of the whole I nation, and who are now immured in dungeons—emi grated, transported, or concealed from the fangs of the tyrant. Now, my Lord, let me beg your attention to the following facts :—The late King, Don John the Sixth, by his Proclamation of the 3d of May, 1823, pronounced an amnesty to all concerned in the measures and consti tution of 1820 ; and by his decree of the sth of June, 1824, he granted an amnesty to all persons accused of Freemasonry. If we see, then, that Don Miguel regards not those solemn decrees and !aws, and prosecutes acts, as crimes, forgotten and pardoned, and for which an am nesty has been granted, what security could be afforded by your Lordship's amnesty—for so he would consider it —exacted from him as the price of recognising his usurp ation ? And if, my Lord, you allow that he is cowardly and cruel—if he usurped through treachery and perjury, the throne of his niece—will he hesitate to preserve him self on it, by the same means ? But I think I hear your Lordship exclaim, " Why should he hesitate to con cede this measure, as the price of an object of such vital importance to him, if he did not mean to keep his word ?" It is, however, not words or oaths that restrain hi m; for he and his fanatical party would wade through a world of them to attain their object : and can you reflect but for a moment, and yet persuade yourself that he will keep his word to your Lordship, and maintain faith with your amnesty, or the devoted victims of it, when he held at nought his solemn promise to the King of these realms ? No ! my Lord, it is not words, but fear, that hinders him from acceding to your Lordship's terms : it is the fear that public opinion would overwhelm his Government on opening the prison doors, and letting loose on society 25,000 of its most influential members, who were taken up and confined one by one. But if liberated in a body, would they not combine and make common cause for their future security ? Here, then, is the cause of Don' Miguel's obstinacy ; and, as a Portuguese who sincerely wishes well to an English connexion, let me recommend your Lordship to consider before you mix up your coun try with so mistaken and dangerous a policy; for if your Lordship means to have your amnesty respected, you must send soldiers to see it executed ; and if you do, you will disgust all parties : the Liberals, while you guard their oppressors, will not thank you for your protection ; and the Apostolicals, who already bate England, would be still more exasperated if you weakened their power by checking their vengeance. May 4. A PORTUGUESE EMIGRANT. THE EA ST INDI A Q IJESTION.—The town and neigh bourhood of Newport Pagncll have been deeply interested during the last week by the delivery of Mr. Buckingham's Lectures on the India Question, which have been attended by very crowded and constantly increasing audiences, in cluding many of the principal gentry and clergy from a surrounding distance of several miles. It may be men ' tioned, in proof of the deep end general interest excited by these discourses, that, though each of them lasted nearly three hours, the most intense attention, and the most lively demonstrations of approbation, were manifested throughout; and, at the close of each, the lecturer was greeted with unanimous applause. At the termination of the course, it was stated, that a strong feeling having been already expressed in favour of such a measure by a large majority of the audience who had attended on the previous even ings, a petition to the House of Commons had, in accord ance with that feeling, been drawn up. The Rev. James Beard accordingly observed that, for the purpose of giving to this proposition the due consideration it required, hc should move that Henry Uthwatt, Esq. do take the chair. Mr. Uthwatt addressed the meeting as to the general ob ject, and stated that a draft of the petition would be sub mitted in due form. The Rev. T. P. Bull then rose to introduce the petition, and, in addition to an excellent address on the general merits of the question, showed clearly that the local interests of the town and neighbour hood were deeply involved in the issue of the India Question. He then read the petition, and moved that it be adopted, as containing the sentiments of the meet ing at large ; which was seconded by Mr. Daniell, and carried unanimously. The Rev. James Beard moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting cannot separate without expressing their sense of the important information laid before them by Mr. Buck ingham as to the state of the Eastern world, and the advantages which would arise from a free trade with India and with the extensive and populous Empire of China. That the thanks of this meeting are therefore due, and are hereby presented, to Mr. Buckingham, for the clear and satisfactory manner in which be has displayed all the facts and arguments connected with this important subjec t ." _ This Resolution was seconded by James Miller, EN. and carried amidst "Plum FO USE OF LORDS LIAICERLEV'S DIVORCE. Dlr. ADAM 'air% that with their lordship* peen fission, he ,ee now proceed to call witnesses to prove an ACt of adultery coasuri.re I at the Hyde Park Hotel. in the summer of 1828, between Shakerley and the Marquis d'Herrera. It might he prripec Mr him shortly to at.ite the facts. The proprietor of the hotel wouid pros— the situation of the rooms ; and a gentleman who was acquits:lL,: with Mr. Sh.iker!ey area his wife, and who went to call oil diem our morning, saw the Marquis come out of the bar.-room, s.i that it, doubt could exist, coupled with other facts in evidence, respecting the adultery. Mr Hubert, the proprietor of the hotel, was then called—lie uant that Mr. and Madam Shakerley were in the 4 occupyitig a;srt - meats at his house. They had been so for 3eira. In thr year 1826 they were a long nine in his house ; he believed about :six • eeks ; during which period Mr. Shakerley dined at baste, as weL as rememberi.d, every day. W:tneu had frequent opportaLitiss of seeing the tonna upon which they lied, and could say th.y ap. pared a hiippy, affectionate couple.—He then proven led to describe the suite of apartments which they occupied. The bed-r: om, it ap peered, had two doors in it; ; one leading to a passage, tit: other opening into the sitting-room. Mr. ‘Villianis examined—l am acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Shakerley. I have known dicta for six Cr VVell years. Our ac quaintance commenced in Warwickshire. I knew them intimately, and vi.ited them until the latter end of the year 1828, wile: Madam S:lakeriey went to Paris. They appeared to be living on very af .e. donate terms; he was a tender and attentive husband. In July, 11316, they were living at Hyde-park Hotel. I went to make a cent on them. I knew the Marquis d'Herrera. I saw him on that occa Mon come out of a room. The plan of the a p artments was h ere shown witness.J—That is a aunts plan. I saw the M a c qu i s cane out of the door near the corner, at the upper end of the passage.— The dour of the sitting-room occupied by Mr. and Madame Shako ley wet very neat this. Ido not know that the room which the Marquis quitted is a bed-room. The plan was here handed to the LOID CHANCELLOR ; having examined it, said, from the plan, be peteeived tnat the rosin front k hence the Marquis came out, as spoken to by tL witne.,, wav that which the preceding witness had fixed as being tht: room. Mr. ADA3P-Precisely so, my Lord. Witness, in continuation—When I got into t!ie saw Madam Shakerley. cannot undertake to swear that I t a door shut. I might, but I cannot positively say I (LI 1 t.:i:A• I did, but will not swear it. By the Loan CHANCELLOR—Then: was a door conintunicatta . ; with the room which I uoderstand is the bed-roota. Madam S:t t • ketley was standing when I entered the apartmtnt. i tollowed Marquis d'Herrera imtuediately into the sitting room. Marls:.. Shakerley was standing up near the tire.piace, a few feat fr„tu I: • door, when I entered. The room is a small one. Nl'itue she se a; standing, she had time to get out of the bed-town into t::c sittinA room, after I saw the Marquis come out of the doer at the cortitr of ill: passage. Mr. Darby examined—l am acquainted with Mr. and Mist ;a.:. Slnikerley. I have known them since the year 1817. This was before their marriage. Since they were married 1 spent three weeks in their society at Boulogne. They always appeared to lac at fectionattly together. He was a very kind and attentise husba:; I know that Madam Shakerley, after her marriage, was in the ea::. scant habit of going to Paris every winter. She went to her father', the Duke d'Avaray's hotel. Mr. Shakerley usually resided there, with his wife, when they were at Paris ; but I have seen them at other piaces In Paris. Ile invariably declined dining with me, (when at other hotels,) because he did not like to Lace his wife alone. Witness having withdrawn, neither the Lord Chancellor nor at.) Noble Lord having any ques tion to put to him, Mr. ADAM said—My bans, after this evidence, I should submit that sufficient proof exists of the adultery between the parties to warrant me in believing that your Lordships will consent .a Bill being read a second time. It is not my practice, guy Lords, to address any observations on the evidence ; but, understanding that a Noble Lord expressed some doubt, on a former occasion, which, if not removed, 1 shall be happy to address you on that point. But I understand the only difficulty that the Noble Lord felt was, whe. titer Mr. Shakerley had conducted himself as he ought to do, in al. lowing Madam Shakerley to go to Paris alone in 18N. The LORD CHANCELLOR... 4 have not read the printed evidence, but, if I recollect right, Mr. Shakerley accompanied his wife to Dover, and sent her over in the care of persons with whom be was on friendly terms. Mr. Anax—Yes, my Lord. She went to her father's residence at Paris, in whose family she resided some time. The LORD CHANCELLOR—How long was she in Paris ? Mr. ADAM—For a considerable period, until she went with her father's family to his chateau on the banks of the Loire near Men. The LORD CstaxcELLon—Still under her father's protection ? Mr. ADAM—Yes, my Lord. If any doubt still exists I should be happy to address your Lordships, but I hope that the evidme is so satisfactory these wiU be no necessity. The LORD CHANCELLOR—The evidence taken to-day must be pruned, as a matter of course. Lord SRELMERSDALZ was about moving that the evidence be printed, when his Lordship was told that there was no necessity for that motion, Inasmuch as an order bad been previously made tu print the evidence from day to day. The LORD CHANCELLOR then said that the second reading might be proposed on Alonday. After an observation from Lord Skelmersdale, the purport of which was not heard below the bar, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, if the foreign witnenes were to be believed, the question was entirely free from all doubt, as far as related to the adultery ; and there dad not appear, to him at least. any reason for assigning blame to Mr. Sliekerley in allowing Ma. dam Shakerley to go without him to Paris. She went there to her father's, under whose protection she was living. Mr. ADAM hoped the impression on the noble lord's mind, who had spoken of the doubt which he had as to the conduct of Mr. Shakerley in permitting Madam Shakerley to visit Paris, was now removed. If, however, it were not, the 'ended counsel engaged ht• should be able to show that the French witnesses were confirmed in every particular. But there was evidence enough now before the house, independent of all the details spoken to by those foreign witnesses. The LORD CHANCELLOR--Al tilt as I am coueeracd, Mr. Adam, Ido nut require any obaervation upon the subject. lam perked) satisfied with the evidence.
