This is good as fir as it may be a sign of bettor councils influencing the. Royal mind ; but how is FEEL Dm AN D to inspire confi dence in his good faith? When the will of one man may make the misery of all men, who will trust themselves to a clemency which presents no other guarantees than those which depend on a word so often broken? How frequently has absolute power spread similar snares for its victims, and how many instances of recent perfidy have ey tiiguished all respect for the most solemn asseverations ? We shall he glad, indeed, if Spain should offer again a country for the many meritorious citizens now wandering as aliens in strange lands; but before we can feel secure of their safety after return, we must see measures taken to prove, not only that political persecutions may cease, but that a cordial union may be established between the (government and the people. Then Europe may have hors of pursuing a policy conformable to her own inte rea4:;, and the general welfare. The information that a large armament is about to sail under the flag of Old Spain, for the re-conquest of Me , tico, is no longer doubted. The article from the I New York papers, which has been re-published in the Tires of yesterday, has caused a great sensation—as wel! it might. This expedition, if it should land, can hive only desolation fur its object; and we repeat that the Governments of England and North America having intervened to prevent the Mexicans carrying that war into Cuba and Puerto Rico, ought not to have permitted any arma men t against Mexico and Colombia from these islands. We are only surprised at the supineness of the merchants trading to South America, and at that of the possessors of West India property. How long do they imagine that tloy will continue safe, if such devastations are to be toter ,!,a again Deiphobi dedit 'mph /law, leidcano suptrAnte, demo—jaw proximo, inlet Ucalegon ! The accounts which arrive from Terceira--those espe cially which have been brought by the . Countess of Liverpool—are of the most satisfactory.description. All is progressive towards the great end, and the Conde de VILLA FLOR has organised the resources of the island admirably. He has made military and civil nominations among the most intelligent of its inhabitants, which can- not fail to be very effective ; and he has established a line of telegraphs from point to point, and armed some gun boats to increase the general means of defence. The best spirit prevails, both among the troops and people, and tho utmost determination to resist the meditated attack upon it by the forces of MIG VEL : and there, if we may be allowed to predict, the tyrant's power is on the point of receiving a check, which can but shortly precede his utter downfall. The version given 'by these accounts of the operation of MIGUEL'S squadron, is very different from that related by the Lisbon Gazette; as we find that the seventy-four gun ship—Don JOHN VI.-with the flag of Vice-Admiral ROZA, was so roughly handled by the batteries, while supporting the boats in their attempt to cut off a small vessel stand ing in for Port Praya, that she has been obliged to abandon the station, and proceed to St. Michael to refit. It is true, the usurper's squadron has taken two Por tuguese merchant vessels, the property of individuals, but in this there is more violence than tact : for a re taliation on the part of the young Queen's adherents would soon inflict great distress on the Miguelitos of Por tugal. By this act, however, Don MIGUEL plainly proves to the world, and to his friends in the British Ministry, that his cause is the cause of the people, since he condescends to make war on their property and commerce ! But this unnatural condition of things is drawing fast to its close ; perhaps ere the approaching harvest 6 over, we may see great changes in the fate of Portugal. The letter of Mr. O'CoN N ELL to his constituents in Clare is published in our Paper of to-day. It is unusually temperate, coming from such a pen, and very guarded : but his insinuation about a restored Parliament in Ire land—and his canting announcement that the cause of his and their religion is the cause of Gun—will escape nobody. We shall return to this. ER RAT t• i.— -We ought to have noticed yesterday an erratum, which appeared in our article on tho Empress of Brazil, inserted last Wednesday : last line—for " colo nial population," read coloured population. Tho Dutch mail this day brings us an account of the proceedings of the English and French Ambassadors dur ing their brief stay at Smyrna. It is highly gratifying to find that Mr. GORDON has distinctly and unequivo cally disavowed, on the part of our Government, the re cognition of the annoying blockades in the Levant ; and that decided measures are adopted" to prevent every inter ruption of the free trade of British subjects" in that quarter. VIENNA, Jura , 12. NMI FROM 1113 MINA. - - - - Mr. Robert Gordon, Ambassador from Great Britain to the Porte, arrived at Smyrna on the 6th June, at two in the afternoon, on board the Reveng e—and Count Guillensinot, the French Am bassador, 24 hours later, on board the Breslau. The two Am. bassadors were saluted by all the ships of war lying at anchor in the road. of Smyrna. The French Rear Admiral Rosamel, (who commands the French squadron in the Levant daring the absence of Vice Admiral de Rigny) arrived on the 7tb, on hoard the Trident. Vice Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, on board the Asia, at Vourla, on the 3tl of June. The English ships of the line Windsor Castle, Ocean, and Spartiate, several frigates, and some smaller men of war, are also at anchor in that port. The &farrier de Stnyrne of the 14th June contains the following account of what passed during the stay of the two Ambassadors in the road of Sinyrna: " The Kiaja Bey of Hassan Paths, the Governor of Smyrna, (who bad been informed by the first Dragoman of the General Consulate of the Netherlands of the arrival of the two Ambassadors,) repaired on the 7th on board the ships in which they arrived, to compliment them In the name of the Vizier,who, at the same time, according to Oriental custom, had sent them presents of baskets of fruit and vegetables. The Kiaja Bey was received with great distinction by the Ambassadors, and then waited on the Admirals, to whom similar presents were offered. 44 On the same day the English Admiral, attended by part of the officers of his squadron, paid a visit to Hassan Pacba, the Turkish Governor. A similar visit was paid him the next day by the French Admiral and his officers. Both Admirals were intro. duced to the Vizier by the Dutch Consul General. Immediately after the arrival of Count Guilleminot, the deputies of the French merchants waited upon him. and requested him to give an audience on the following day to the Corporation of the French merchants. Accordingly, on the Bth, at eleven in the morning, all the French merchants assembled at the residence of the Dutch Consul General. under whose protection they had hitherto been placed, and ac companied hint on board the Breslau, when Count Guilleminot received the congratulations of the nation. Through the Consul. General and the first deputies of the merchants, Count Guille minot paid the most friendly attention to the requests made of him by the merchants, and promised them all the protection necessary in the unpleasant situation in which they were placed, by the events in the East. The Corporation then went on board the Trident, to pay their respects to Admiral Itosamel, to whom the first deputy expressed the gratitude of the French merchants to the French marine, for the attentive and constant protection which they bad received from all the men of war of his Must Christian Majesty, in such critical times. " On the 9th, in the morning, Mr. Gordon received the English merchants at the Dutch Consul General's, and promised them that one of his first endeavours, after his arrival front Constantinople, should be, to enforce the payment of the claims of the British subjects on merchandise and effects In the bands of the Greeks, who fled at the breaking out of the Greek revolution, and which were, at that time, confiscated by the Porte, as the property of rebellious subjects. This assurance was extremely agreeable to the merchants, whose claims amount to large sums. It was no less welcome to the merchants of other nations, who are almost all of them similarly situated, and hope that the united exertions of their Excellencies will obtain, if not the whole of their demands, at least a suitable indemnity for claims, the justice of wbi, h cannot be called in question. " the 9th, in the evening, Count Guilleminot honoured with a visit the two deputies of the merchants, who consider this as a new proof of his Excellency's favour to the French merchants In the Levant, who are placed under his protec tion. The two Ambassadors sailed on the 10th at day break, on board their ships of the line, which were accompanied by many frigates and smaller ships of war of both nations. At Penedos their Excellencies will leave the ships of the line, and go on board frigates to proceed thr oug h t h e Dardanelles to nand nople, where they arrived on the 18th, and were received with great joy. M. Dawkins, English resident at the seat o f th e G ree k Government, has passed some days at Smyrna. and accompanied Mr. Gordon to Tenedos, whence he will probably return to Egina." The Courtier de &woe contains also the following article : " As the publication of the two decreer of blockade issued by the Greek Government in our paper took place in consequence of a commu nication of M. J. Van Leonel), Consul General of the Netherlands in this city, who had received them officially from the provisional French Charge d'Affaires at Egina ; for this reason Mr. Gordon, Ambassador of Great Britain to the Sublime Porte, fearing that this notification, provided with the authority of the officer to whom the protection of the British interests at Smyrna was at that time confided, might mislead the English merchants with respect to the light in which the British Government considers the said blockade, was pleased, before he set out for the capital of Turkey, to authorise M. J. Van Lennep to make the following communication to the English merchanu : " The Greek Government having issued two decrees, one of which. referring to the blockade of the coasts of Attica, Negropont, and Vole, proclaims the extension of this blockade to the Gulf of Kissaros, and the other relates to the blockade of the COWS of I Western Greece ; " Notice is hereby given to the English merchants in this dry s not only that the said blockades are neSrecegnined Greet Briton; at a moment when it is engaged in a negotiation, the object of which is the pacification of Greece, but also that t►e most ekesded measures will be adopted by the Commander-in Chief of his Majesty's fleet in the Mediterranean to prevent every Interruption of the free trade of British subjects with either coast of that Continent." It seems unnecessary to add, that the raising of the blockade of Candia is included in the above notice. The illegality of that blockade is, in fact, as clear as day, since the Allied Powers are agreed that Candia can in no cue make a part of the future Greek State. AU the Consuls and Vice-Consuls of England and France in the several ports of the Ottoman Empire have received orders to re pair to their respective posts with as little delay as possible. This news, adds the Cc/eerier de Sosyree, has been received by the mer chants with the greatest joy.—Ascerens Observer, My 13. CITY. TWELVE o'CLocE.

MADEIRA, Ju Lr 4. On Saturday last arrived the Ariadne frigate, Captain MA itiLYAT, from England, and on coming to anchor sa luted the Government of MI6 un 1., being the first ship of war of any nation that has done so since the usurpation. Great excitement was consequently produced- --the report was instantly spread throughout the town that a frigate had brought the recognition of Don MI6 uEL by the Bri tish Government, to the great exultation of the governing party, and tho great annoyance of the persecuted adhe rents of the Queen Donna MARIA ; while all persons in the evening were compelled to illuminate their houses by bands of blackguards, who paraded the streets and sa luted the houses of the Faithful with virus, and those of the Malhados, or opposite party, with groans and exe crations. There are some persons here who conceive that the act of Captain MAR It Y AT is not to be attributed to any orders that he has received from Government, but to his own well-known eccentricity of character and wish to do every thing different from any one else—certain it is, however, that the act forms a great era in the Miguelito usurpation, as Captain SA RTOlt lus and the whole of the British squadron that were in the Tagus, and all the ships that have since visited Lisbon, have invariably refused to salute MIG U EL'S goverument—the French squadron has also strictly adhered to this principle, and even when the Galatea frigate arrived at this island with Lord ST RAN G FOR n on board, as our Ambassador for the Brazils, we I know that her Captain, Sir CII Alt LES SU LI v AN, Bart. refused to comply with Lord STRANG rolas strenuous solicitations to salute the port, expressing, with the noble English feeling that he so eminently possesses, that he had no orders to do so, and that ho should never of his own accord be the first to salute the perfidious usurper of a throne, to which he had exalted his person by the vio lation of his solemn oaths to govern the kingdom for his 1 brother, and the people, by their constitutional charter. Our Governor continues his nightly vigils, muffled up in a large cloak, and attended by a few select soldiers, and a set of ruffians, whom he takes great delight in seeing ill-use and abuse every one they meet, so that no respect able person can now trust himself out at night, even with a torch and servant before him, to pass from ono door to another—and many of our English merchants, who pro fited so largely by the reduction of the price of wines, on the exile of all the Portuguese merchants and pro prietors, have already become tired even of their good fortune, and their love of Miguelism, as many of them have got themselves ill-treated and abused—but as, according to the old adage, you may judge of a man by the company he keeps—so may you do of our Gover nor, when I acquaint you that he has elevated a Mr. Mlle u EL, a shoemaker, who was drum-major to the town militia, to the duties of Aide-de-Camp at his Palace; and while our former Governors never failed to get handsomely entertained by our Consul-General— this one has descended to an acquaintance with the Con sul-General's cook, JOHN BAPTISTA,IOIO has, since Mr. VEITC Ws unfortunate absence, become a sort of com missary. The Governor had the honour, a few days ago, of accepting an invitation to dinner from this Italian cook, who after being employed throughout the day in preparing some of his best dishes of rabiola soup, &c. for which he has long been " far-famed," had in the evening the honour of presiding at his own well-cooked dinner, and commending its good qualities to his dis tinguished guest, rabble suite, and shoemaker aide-de camps.—Much conviviality prevailed, and the distin guished company parted, after an ample potation, at an early hour of the morning, highly gratified with the good things, good cheer, and hospitality, they had experienced from their host—who is, by the bye, a clever fellow, and knows how to divide with his Excellency the gains of the Commissariat.—Such are the men of distinction now in Madeira—such are the authorities of MlGUEL—such are—according to Lord ABERDEEN, in the House of Peers—the vaunted friends of England. Our City Correspondent says:—" We are credibly informed that the invasion of Mexico by the Spaniards from the flavannah, will certainly take place, and that the Proclamation of the Spanish Government is posi tively in town, to be issued on the landing a the expe dition. The mission of Count OFALIA to this country and France, positively related to the above expedition, to obtain the consent of both Governments." Letters from the banks of the Vistula, July 8, state that the departure of Count NESS EL RODE for Tulz, tends to confirm the report that the Emperor of RUSSIA will pro ceed to Jassy, and perhaps to the Russian head -quarters. A Paris paper received this morning by the mail, states, that a sale of the effects of Marshal Hou ENLOIIE took place ; and, amongst the effects which were put up for auction, appeared a handsome portrait of Don MIGUEL, a present to the pious Marshal by that Prince. This pre cious portrait was put up at five franca, and was on the eve of being bought in, when a person of great character ventured to add twenty sous, and was immediately de clared the fortunate puvhaser. THE KEAN WHERRY. There is a spirit of patriotism about Mr. K to which—by those who know him—is often discov era !,,. in his tastes and actions. His annual gift of a wher ry t, the Thames watermen, is one of those acts which n il , be clearly traced to that noble principle : and it etmnot be questioned, that the emulation thus periodically e v cited by such a present, the winning of which is ba c cient to establish a poor man in competence and cut. fort—for a boat on the river is, of itself, a stock i m trade—has materially contributed to the present perfecti ve of the Thames wherrymen. The afternoon of Wednesday last was appointed the contest between seven pair of oars for the new pril t . wherry, which has been christened the Phernix. sh, is the sixth boat which has been given by Mr. KEAN, an j there was a numerous assemblage—as well on the rive r he animati n4 .0 under 11 1 ,. Fire-dice, the staniip z ions : as on its banks and bridges—to witness race. The whole of the arrangement; w superintendence of Mr. Wit ITE, of the Brit who was pulled up to Westminster-bridge galley, when the following men took their David Ed Old Swan .... C. Campbell Westminster .. George Wild Lambeth .... T. Vakins Hungerford .. James Braithwaite Hungerford .. John Brett Bankside .... Wm. Windsor Westminster .. Wm. Noulton Lambeth Henry Jones Vauxhall .... Robert Evans Wm. Dolwin Hurseferry.... Thomas Dodd Hungerford .. E. Brumweli Old Swan .... G. Sallaway Vauxhall .... Purple. White. Light Blue. Pink. Yellow. Mr. White gave the signal, and the whole seven pair started ; and after rowing up to Lawn-cottage, Battersea. and back to the Red-house, they terminated an admirable heat as follows :—Scarlet first, Green second, Yellow third, Blue fourth, Purple fifth, White sixth, and Pink seventh. After the men had taken some refreshment provided by the worthy host at the Red-house, Scarlet, Yellow, and Green contested for the second and last heat, from the Red-house up to Lawn-cottage, down to Vaux hall, and back to the place of starting. They started, and came in as follows :—Scarlet first, Green second, and Yellow third. It is supposed five thousand persons were assembled at the Red-house on this occasion : the match finished at nine o'clock. The late DUKE of QUEENSBERRY's ESTATE THOMAS V. MONTGOMERY. The Vice-Chancellor yesterday made an order, con firming a tenth Report, which pays off a further stint of ,C 33,000 and upwards, of claims made against the late Duke of Queens berry's estate in Scotland. COLLECTANEA. Early on Monday morning, as the Superb steam packet was entering the lock of Cumberland Basin, one of the passengers (Major Raven, 84th Regiment), in attempting to jump ashore, un fortunately slipped between the ves►el and the wall ; be sunk im mediately, and would have been drowned but for the promptitude of Captain Finlayson, Commander of the Superb, who jumped overboard, seised him by the hair of his head, and safely conveyed him on board.—Rath Chronicle. The day patrol and the night patrol were mustered yesterday morning in a temporary building near the Exchequer, in Old Palace-yard, and were inspected by Colonel Rowan and Mr. Mayne. Mr. Stafford, the Superintendent of the night patrol, was in attendance, and it is understood that the two patrol esta• bUshments are to be united. A letter has been received by the Police Magistrates within the Metropolitan District, informing them of the appoint. ment of Colonel Rowan and Mr. Mayne, and expressing Mr. Peel's confidence that the new Commissioners would receive every in formation and assistance which it may be in the power of the Ma gistrates to afford to them. Wednesday, the 15th instant, the family of the Rev. Mr. Hopton, of Cawrn Froome , Herefordshire, was pl u n ge d in the deepest affliction, hi consequence of the melancholy death of his eldest son, a young gentleman distinguished for his talents, vir tue, and amiable disposition. It appears that he had accomp anied his silt n a visit to P. Jones, Esq. intending to join them on the following day at the Archery Meeting held at Kinnesley. He re tired early to bed, and about the middle of the night rose in his sleep and opened the chamber window, which was very low, and stepping out of it, he fell on the pavement in front, where he was found a corpse.—CAeltenkom Chronicle. Gower-house, in the Stable-yard, intended as the resi dence of the late Duke of York, is now completed, and la fast filling with splendid furniture, magnificent pictures, and costly china ornaments. When the decorations are finished, it will probably be the most magnificent mansion in the metropolis, Gres vesor House, Apaley House, and the house of Earl Dudley, in ' Park-lane not excepted. Joseph Hume, Esq. ALP. has taken up his residence in the neighbourhood of Reading. At eleven o'clock yesterday morning the Lords of his Majesty's Mo.t Honourable Privy Council assembled in the Privy Council Chamber, Whitehall, to hear Appeals. Those present were, Lord Wynford, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Right Hon. Hugh Elliot. The case, es parse Roney e. Cooper, from the Isle of Man, was disposed of by their Lordships. The remaining ap peals on their Lordships' list. viz. that of Sayer v. Whitfield, from St. Vincent's, was entered into. Mr. Horne opened the case oe the part of the appellant, and was followed by Mr. Garratt. The latter gentleman having concluded his address at three o'clock. Mr. Whitfield, who is himself one of the respondents, was heard in reply. The cause is very complicated ; the appellants pin& log no less than twelve distinct appeals, some of them adobe from a former decree of the Lords of the Privy Council. One of the main points at issue is, whether the plaintiffs had or bad not received the amount of their claims on two valuable estates in the island of St. Vincent during the time they remained in their possession ? By one of the most recent decWons the balance to the appellants is adjudged to be between thirteen and fourteen thousand pounds, on payment of which possession was to be given to the respondents. In answer to a question from Lord Wynford, as to whether this sum had been tendered, Mr. Whitfield stated, that the money would be paid as soon as the appellants had proved, by vouchers, that such a balance was due to them. At four o'clock the Court adjourned, the farther hearing of the case being post poned till some day next week. ANECDOTE OF DR.
