He says that the Ministry, " to show their impartiality and their regard to existing institutions, have ordered the prosecu tion of an Ultra Journal"—that is, a Journal of their own party : and he sees in this a great security for their future good behaviour. Now the Apostolique, which is the Journal prosecuted, is one of those injudicious organs of the men who have arrived at power, which even they themselves, for decency's sake, cannot publicly acknowledge ; its venom, and its extreme inveteracy, outrunning —not the malignity indeed, for that is unsurpassable—but the prudence of its clandestine patrons. To infer from a prosecution of this kind the future liberality of a set of men, who owe their appoint ments to the united bigotry and terror of a King, who never yet sincerely pardoned his brother for the Charter, is as absurd as it would be to prognosticate a generous line of foreign policy for this country, because the Age might be officially prosecuted under the government of the Noble Earl, and company. :Ls to the speech of M. MA NG iw, the new Prefect of Police, it is only so much wind against a long life of contrary experience. We direct attention to a letter, contradicting the ca lumnies which have been spread by the Jamaica papers against BOLIVAR. It is from an Anglo-Colombian of high rank, and great intelligence, whose authority on the matters which he discusses can be as little questioned as can his attachment to his countrymen in that republic. The articles which are the subject of his expostulation obtained their insertion in our columns entirely through inadvertence, and we should have contravened their asser tions ourselves to-day, had we not been superseded so much better, by that equally able and authentic exposition. We know, of our own knowledge, that the LIBERATOR does not entertain views prejudicial to the liberties of the State which he administers, and that he would re gard the diadem of Sovereignty—if all Colombia prof fered it to his acceptance to-morrow—as a stain, rather than a gem upon his glory. Lettere from Paris announce that M. de BOREL Pe ~.Ehc the Russian Envoy to the Court of Brazil, was about to take his passage to Rio Janeiro. It is said that M. de BOREL will be a great acquisition to the Emperor Don PEDRO : he enjoys the confidence of the Russian Emperor, and no one is better acquainted with the state of Portugal. M. de BOREL was one of the Diploma tists who supported Sir EDWARD THORNTON, and M. HYDE DE NEUVILLE, on the 30th of April, 1824, and saved the kingdom to Don Jon x VI. The Russian Cabinet has gained great credit for its impartiality during the long political distractions in Por• fugal, and the emigrants in this country emulously con trast that forbearance with the neutrality displayed by England. We wish to hold the balance fairly, and while we admit to the fullest extent the dishonourable po licy of our own Court, we cannot perceive that any principle of an opposite nature has dictated the acqui escent apathy of Russia : she had neither the temptation to interfere actively, that we had, nor the right ; to say nothing of her geographical removal, and the inci dent of the Turkish war, which has been quite enough for her to manage, without intermeddling between such distant disputants. Let us watch what will be her con duct, when the settlement of a new Sovereignty, con fining upon her own dominion, comes to be more speci fically agitated. Russia—we can assure those, whom very despair now converts into eulogists of her modera tion—is the last Power to deserve the praise of disinter estedness. When it is asserted, therefore, that she has not sullied her high character by a departure from the spirit of her declarations, it ought to be added that she has pot had the opportunity to do so in the case of Por tugal, nor been tempted by a collision of political and commercial interests. That the cause of Donna MARI.% has been regarded with coldness by the European Cabi nets, because they felt that the cause of Constitutional systems was interwoven with it, there is not a question : and rather than witness in the triumph of that cause the collateral prevalences which it would bring with it, they have preferred to sacrifice their own principles of legitimacy, as laid down by themselves at Troppau, Laybach, and Verona. These remarks have been extorted from us, by a paper which was put into our hands yesterday, attributing unmerited honour to Russia for her behaviour on the Portuguese dispute. They must not be taken, for an instant, as designed in any way to palliate the duplicity and injustice of the Noble Earl, who recognised Donna MARIA nearly ten months ago, and is now " paltering with her in a double sense," to rec ncile conflicting interests : that is, to play the game of the Jesuits and Ultras. Our private correspondence from Lisbon confirms all the previous accounts, hitherto received, of the political and social confusion in that unhappy country: The disposition to an insurrection against Don MIGUEL—if he attempts to relax in the bloody course prescribed by the apoetolical Directory—manifests itself more and more. The old QUEEN has addressed an autograph letter to MATTOS, Minister of Justice, and another to VEIGA, the Intendant of Police, threatening them in the most unmeasured language, if any order, or mandate—having for its object to mitigate the prosecu tion of persons suspected to be liberal, or to thwart io say manner their arrest by the Royalist volunteers—should issue from their departments. She has instituted an Order, with decorations, to reward and distinguish those who best signalise themselves in her service : scuffles will in future be frequent between the rival parties.— Printed proclamations have already appeared, inviting the Portuguese to proclaim Don SI:BASTI AN, a Spanish Prince. The militia regiments are to be disarmed, in order that the Ordenanzas—armed inhabitants— may take the field en masse. BELFORT, and PINTO Comio—the two Adjutants of Police—are instructed by the Qi. , Exx to obey her immediate orders, and they are to disregard those of the Superiors in their respective departments, whenever. in any matter, they may clash with her's. It is the opinion of every one, at all acquainted with the actual pos ture of affairs, that CUESTA MONTALEGRE iS playing a Spanish game, and that the occupation of Lisbon by the BOURBONS is neither an improbable hypothesis, nor a remote event. If, simultaneously with such an oc currence, the Russian Eagle shall be flapping his wing over the towers of St. Sophia, the position of the twO " most ancient allies" of England will present a strange coincidence. For ourselves, we deem neither the one, nor the other improbable ; especially now that Trebisond is taken, and Lord ABERDEEN remains refractory. The Prussian Stitte Gazette to the 14th instant is this day received ; and affords us some additional particulars of the rapid and triumphant progress of the Russians on their march to the capital of Turkey. Having elsewhere spoken on this subject to-day, comment here is unneces sary. The following are extracts from the Papers brought by the Flanders Mail. SHARI PAID. BERLIN, Am. 14. NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. The most recent news from the Russian army is from Aides, where Count Diebitsch bad his bead-quarter on the 14th (x6th) of July. After the victorious troops under his command had totally defeated the Turkish troops that opposed them, they made themselves masters not only of Aidos, but also, at the same time, of the important places of blessembria, Aldan (or Achiolion), and Bourgas • and are now advancing rapidly forwards in the fertile and populous plains beyond the Balkan. The Turks, who were taken by surprise, and instantly defeated, had no time to depopu late the Province, and the peaceable inhabitants, most of whom are Christians, quietly pursue their rural labours under the pro tection of an enlightened and judicious Commander. The details of the victorious march of the Russian army are expected every moment, and shall be immediately communicated to our readers. ST. PETERSBURGH, Aua. 3. _ - According to the accounts from our army beyond the Danube, which come down to 26th ult. it appears that the Grand Vizier bad not yet ventured to attack the corps of General Krassowsky, which is posted at Jenibazar ; for if be had, we must have had the news ye.terday, as the communications are now so speedy. But by the 26th General Krassowsky might be joined by the reserve to the number of 3,500 men sent by General Witt towards Bid. garia. and which had already arrived at Babadagh, only five days march from Shumla. Thus the army of General Diebitech would be more than sufficiently covered both in the flank and rear. On the 25th of last month the Emperor had a grand review of the troops in the camp at Kranje:Selo.r.Pestasiens State Gas. Jag. 14. BRUSSELS, Ana. 16. Her Majesty the Empress of Brasil slept last night at Louvain ; she left it this morning, and will pass through Brussels, only atop• ping to change horses, and will proceed without delay to Ostepd by way of Ghent and Bruges. at which city she will be received by M. de Liedekerke in his Majesty's name. Mom 17.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe Coburg has arrived here horn London. The young Empress of Brasil travels with her brother, the Prince of Leuchtenbcrg, and their suite casuists of 36 persons. A Commission is actually assembled at Brussels, to examine the Tariff of Customs, and several new regulations, or modification., are said to be in contemplation. 1.1. de Smet Bossaert, and probably other distinguished merchants of Ghent, Brussels, and Antwerp. are said to be members of this Commission. The ;to/serials Observer of the 9th August contains some ;news from the Universal Gazette of Greece of the 20th June. This Ga zette publishes the names of the provinces which chose the President for their Deputy to the National Assembly. The manner in which this choice was made by so many provinces prove., says the Ga zette, bow highly qualified the President is for his high office. The extraordinary improvement that has taken place in the country— the change from disobedience, disorder, and danger, to obedience, order, and security—the encouragement given to agriculture, the amelioration of the finances. and the administration of justice, are all fruits of his exertions, and have naturally produced the affection and gratitude of the people. The province of Corinth, in its instructions to its Deputies, bay ing first passed a warm eulogium on the President, enjoins them— t. To coonfine themselves to matters the object of which is the good of the country, in the spirit of the President. 2. Not to meddle in factions, and thus oppose the sentiments and salutary intentions of the President. 3. If they depart in the smallest degree from these instructions, their full powers u Deputies to the fourth National Assembly are declared null and void.—Brassels Putters, dug. 19. Accounts from Barbadees of the 31st May, state, that the Governor has not granted the petition of the people to have the ports opened. Boston Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 15th July.—The revenue collected in Philadelphia for the first quarter of the present year, will fall considerably short of its amount for the corresponding quarter of the last year. The di minution of this quarter is—dollars 2. 42-063. Letters from Ancona of 26th July, announce that the Pacha of Egypt is preparing an expedition, which is sup posed to be against Candle; and the Russian squadron is concentrating at Paras, to observe the movements of the Pacha. CONTRADICTION of the JAMAICA SLAN. DIMS AGAINST BOLITAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sin—lt is with pain I observe in your Paper of last night that an extract is made from the Royal Gazette of Jamaica, reflecting on the justice of the authorities of Carthagena, in affirming that they had ordered for exe cution an Englishman of the name of Miller " owing to his being a foreigner, whilst they had set at liberty, after a few days confinement his Spanish accomplices, who were more guilty than himself." The facts of the case are these—Miller, whose trade is that of a working-jeweller, had for a long period been en gaged in counterfeiting gold bars, by introducing copper into the interior of them : by these frauds various individuals were robbed of property to the amount of fifty or sixty thousand dollars. Miller being at length detected, was fairly tried, and legally convicted, as the principal in the crime, and conse quently selected for punishment. The offence for which Miller was condemned, is one of the gravest character in a country, the chief export of which is gold ; and being entirely novel, might require an immediate example, to prevent its extension. Nothing can be more unjust and mischievous than these accusations against the jurispru dence and equity of other countries, and it is more par ticularly so in a transaction where such extraordinaiy lenity has been shown to the criminal by referring his case to the clemency of the Liberator, without any other excuse for such an indulgence than that of his being a British subject. The same spirit of malevolence actu ates the writer of those letters, which ascribe to General BOLIVAR the intention of assuming the Imperial dia dem, notwithstanding he has been hourly giving new proofs of his generous moderation and sacrifice. The last accounts from Bogota assure General Boia- VAR'S arrival in that capital during the month of August,where he is coming to resign his Dictatorial Power at the opening of Congress in January, 1830, having left SUCRE to retake Guyaquil, in which city LA MAR, in violation of the Treaty generously conceded to him after the defeat of Tarqui, has established himself, having reinforced that garrison with 400 men, the wreck of the 7,700 with which he invaded Colombia. He has declared that he is resolved to burn the city rather than see it restored to its lawful possessors. The annexa tion of this city to Peru has long been one of his fa vourite projects ; but he will be obliged to relinquish this prey, so dishonourably acquired, as soon as the rainy season permits the advance of the Colombian forces— and the escape of General LA MAR may then be rendered hopeless, should the Colombian frigate, under the orders of Commodore CHITTY, arrive in the river Guyaquil before the attack is made. GVA L, the late Minister Plenipotentiary of Colothbia to the Congress of Tacubaya, of which Peru fomt t ed a part, was arrested by LA MA IL on his arrival at Guya quil, at which port he was forced to touch on his way back to his own country. He was sent on board the fri gate Prueba, but soon after released on the energetic remonstrances of General FLORES. Generals GAMAILRA and LA MAR are in open war— GAMARBA wants a Congress, and LA MAR and his party a Dictatorship. Bolivia has returned with the wish of all parties to the former order of things, and the Bolivian Co& is again in force by the vote of the Ge neral Congress. AN ANGLO-COLOMBIAN. CITY. Twm.vs o'CLocc. The Consol Market is rather beak this morning ; Console, which left off yesterday at 881 / for the Account, opened at NI I, and 881 89, for next Account. This improvement in the Market is attributed to the French 3 per cents. leaving at on Wednesday at 79f. 80c. Also we have accounts from Wallachia of the 24th of July. stating that it was confidently reported there that Count Pahlen, Ancient Governor of the Principalities, was to embark with Count Orlow at Odessa to • meet the Grand Vizier, and to open a new negociation. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing u yet : prices nominal. CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The Consol market continues very firm, and has improved since the early part of the morning, when they were at 88g for the Ac count, and at present they are 88{ and 89 to g for next Account. This continual improvement of the market is attributed to two drcumstances, first, that it Is the general belief that the great Hebrew operators sre in possession of news from the East ; 2d, that ►t is a great Bear Account, and they will be able to deliver the stock on settling day, which is near at hand. In the Foreign market Northern Securities have improved : Danish, 696 ; Russian, 1001 11. A private letter from Paris, dated the day before yes terday, gives an account of the conduct, the temper, and aim of the several Parisian Journals with reference to the ministerial changes. The letter is not worth insertion at length ; and it is only for its absurdity that we notice it : " The violence," says this man, " with which the Ministry has been assailed is considered in the Ministe rial circles as a guarantee of the stability of the Adminis tration !" Indeed ! And further says the oracle,— " They laugh at the violence of the liberal Journals." Let them laugh who win, say we. The French press is more than a match for the Ministry; and as an evidence of this, we would quote the same writer in speaking of the stupid infatuated Quoti dienne. Of that Paper, entertaining the same sen timents as himself, he complacently states, " Its ad hesion the New Administration is not without impor tance to the Royalist cause." In noticing the other Journals,—such as the Debats, the Constitutionnel, or the Journal de Paris—papers universally read and re spected, on account of their being the best papers in the world,—the same remark is surely applicable as regards the cause they espouse. We are compelled to notice the absurdities of this letter, as we believe it will be paraded in some few of this evening's papers, from the edification of our constitutional countrymen. The Ganges man-of-war is arrived from Rio Janeiro ; but she is of an old date ; she brings 18,0001. sterling for the Brazil Mining Company. Reports say, that our Government have determined not to recede one inch to the Turks, in regard to the affairs of Greece. We also understand that the Gloucester is in no hurry to sail, u she is not to leave the Nore until the Court Martial on Captain D— is over. ADDRESS to the DUKE of WELLINGTON Mon have:sum Ann Excm.i.nrr Sin The undersigned, actuated by feelings of gratitude and well.merited admiration, for the distinguished triumphs recently obtained by your Excellency in the British Parliament, in securing the Emancipation of the Irish Catholics, and also in defending and protecting the Porto. guese Throne and Altar, avail themselves of this mode to fulfil the duty Imposed upon them by such signal benefits, the fruits of your Excellency's heroic virtues and disinterested zeal. Your Excellency, like another Cyrus, has reasstobtioted in your country the Apostolic Roman Catholic religion, persecuted and banished therefrom for the last three centuries; and, like another Alexander, severed, with the keen edge of your brilliant and well-tempered eloquence, the numerous intricate knots formed and tied by the sophistry and intriguing subtlety of Maeintosi., Brougham, Palmerston, Holland, Goderich, and other fouler. - tors of Liberalism ; in other words, of masonry, irreligion, and republicanism—crimes which, in our times, have barefacedly faulted the altar and the throne. Bit, thanks to your Excellency, the cause of the legitimacy of the Portuguese Crown, belonging to our august, mercifulonsitable, and beneficent King his Majesty Do, Miguel I. was boldly and victoriously defended by your Excel lency, and will ever continue to be so by the unanswerable dialec • tic of Peel and Lord Aberdeen, at the same time that it finds c. your Excellency a most zealous Parsox. For so many distinguished services we, the Ministers of the Altar, whose duty it is to watch o►er the purity of the Roman Ca. tholic faith, and to preserve inviolate the fidelity to the throne, in unison with our Irish brethren, who. in less than two months, have seen themselves re-instated ice their rights as British subjects, she, always bless, and our children after us. the illustrious name of your Excellency ; and we implore the Aussourr, in whose service your Excellency has been so actively employed, graciously to bestow upon you, amidst endless prosperity, the greatest energy and power, that, continuing in the glorious career of assessor to the British throne, you may complete the alreadrcossneencod osetthron of As fantastical Colossus e the" so termed " dwf iffserties, net only in you► country and ours, but also Mowry corner of the globs. We offer up our prayers to the same BONO that he may er - lighten your Excellency with his divine grace, that, after a long life of happiness in this world, you may succeed to eternal bliss. GOD preserve your Excellency. Lisbon, July 24. To his Excellency the Duke of Wellington. (Signed)—Patricio, Cardinal Patriarch. Francisco, Bishop of Vixen, for himself and the absen Bishops.

By the bye, for some cause of pique or jealousy, these friends and admirers of the Duke of WELLINGTON and his deserving protege Don MIGUEL, have left out one signature from the list, no less respectable and flattering than any of the names that figure so much to the honour of the enlightened Apostolical Gentlemen who thus so gratefully address their benefactor. We mean Don SAN- G VINO FEROCIO, public executioner of Lisbon and its environs,together with his understrappers and apprentices. ••4 • • COLLECTANEA. THERE'S TRICKS IN A' TRADES RUT OURS—(as the lawyer said to his client).—Au honest rustic went into the shop of a Quaker to buy a hat. for which 255. was demanded. He offered 20s. "As I live," said the Quaker. " I cannot afford to give it thee at that price." " As you live!" exclaimed the country man, "then live more moderately, and be d—d to you."— " Friend," said the Quaker, " thou shalt have the bat for nothing. I have sold hats for twenty years, and my trick was never found out till now." A HINT TO PILEACIIEILS.—When the Romans heard Cicero, says Fenelon, they cried out, 0, le bed endow 1-0, what a fine orator! But when the Athenians heard Demosthenes. they called out, Allow, battens Phihppe I —Come on, down with Philip ! The difference between the eloquence of the Grecian and that of the Roman orator 13 here expressed in a manner equally judicious and lively : and this is the true criterion of a sermon, as well as of an oration. Demosthenes is, therefore, the author who should be studied and imitated by preachers. The late Marchioness of B. was suspected of being a Catholic. As a woman, she would have lost no civil rights by an open declaration of her sentiments ; but the consideration of the high circle in which she moved, and the political importance of her familylmade some degree of reserve and secrecy prudent or expedient. " Pray, my Lord," said an Anglican Clergyman to her husband, one day, at Southampton, " of what religion is the Marchioness? I never see her at Church?" " Sir," said the Mar quis, " I think your question is a very bold one; it is a question which I myself have never taken the liberty of proposing to the Marchioness. In this country every one follows what religion he pleases." We cannot but admire the able manner in which the Marquis drew himself out of the affair.—Peraonal and Literary Memorials. _ --- --- A young, zealous, and conscientious student in Angli can theology, once asked so experienced dignitary p m , what do the Armenians hold ?"
