Irma the watchful Uncoils,' you formerly paid to them, you deservedly grimed the confidence of the commersT in general of the eountryi and k relinquishing to. 4ur guidance and management the care of sup - Pirflog the ask sqd respect that was due to the British Sag, and advocating and defending its rights and independence s but no longer do you seem to deserve the name of a watchful sentinel: you slumber at your post—is it lethargy or apathy that eiservates you? Will insult heaped on insult not awaken you to a sense of what is due to those interests of the consinerco•of which 'yet aro :he acknowledged representatives? It is true that the general die :rest has damped public spirit, and creates a general despondency ; while every man is so occupied with the difficulties that he mows tees fo nuking his own wise. I go round, that he finds little leisure or inclination. to stand forward in behalf of general interests, more especially those which have been long entrusted to the care of others. But the time has arrived when our commerce can no longer be left in this abandonment. Let me, therefore, try to rouse you before the country pronounce that you no looser deserve to be considered as the defenders of our commercial lag. Let me ask why did you receive without remonstrance the contasunications made to you concerning the unjust and iniquitous blockade of Terceira? Why have British vessels, in the Usurper's ports, been subjected to the most unheard.of restrictions? Why have British interests in those ports been 'be:Wooed to the will of his agents, without an Ambassador or a single skip of war to protect them? Why were the mailbags of letters at Lisboo seised on? Why was the snail stolen fruni the brig Ocean? If all these have passed away without remonstrance, why ought the re cent detection of the Lonach Indiaman ou he r homeward voyage to be endured, and the perpetrator of these indignities allowed to escape unmolested? The independcace and respect doe to the British flag is every thing to ski country—the natlasal honour and Its best interests are inevitable from it--the lag has been insulted, healed down, and trampled under foot by the partisans of the Tyw rant—and satisfaction cannot be dispensed with. I therefor* ven ture to recommend, that you should assemble a General Meeting of the Merchants:sod Ship-ownen, to consider this subject; and that Resolutions be adopted, calling on Ministers to obtain redress and satisfaction for such repeated outrages. It is hoped Govern. meat will not hesitate tomcod a naval force to Terceira, to bring into a port of this country the two Miguelite men of war which• have committed these excesses on our flag. liiBRCATOB. TO THE PUBLIC. Some changes have taken place in the management of this Paper, which, it isconfidently hoped, will secure the public approbation. In announcing these, the Paorantrona do not feel it at all necessary to make any declaration of principks, in the Strict sense of the terms nevertheless, they think this a proper opportunity to state, that they come for ward in a pure and liberal spirit, fettered by no party. though certainly favouring the remains of one, which it was once equally popular and patriotic to uphold. Concerning this Party they have elsewhere given their opinion at greater length—and perhaps with keener animadversion—than comports with the equanimity of these explanations. But they are not bound, not do they belong. to any set of men whatever; and it is only in consideration that the body alluded to yet contains within its pale some shining and uncorrupt individuals —a ~ucleus of redeeming purity—that they permit themselves to mention it for a moment. Higher— incalculably higher—is the errand on which they start yet if, in the discharge of their great advocacies, they find themselves side by side with men whom the people tare ceased to count upon as their natural auxiliaries, their satisfaction will be proportionate to the surprise. From their youth upwards, the writers of this an vouncement have always attached themselves to that scheme of Government which has seemed to them to unite the greatest administrative purity with the sound est views of practical impruvement. During the last twelve years they have lent to such principles of policy no feeble advocacy through the press. To the Lim root. Administration--ofwhichLordCarmanfou was the master-spring and informing spirit—they were cos. seientiously and consistently opposed s but when, at the death of this public scourge, Mr. Caminito suc ceeded in the Foreign Department, they felt that the dissolution of an arbitrary system was ensured —it would be superfluous, after this avowal, to dwell on the animation and cordiality with which they hailed at a later epoch the accession of that great man to the helm, and the anticipations which they formed for the country. They were blighted in their verj formation by his death in the midst of his in valuable plans.hut the-conviction that his enlightened views will yet be realized, is strengthening more and more; The impulse which has been communicated to ape popular mind must force it onward—the embaak nouts of prejudice are thrown down. Tbe Writers of this article have not been inattentive • • spectaton of the secessions which have lately taken place , . Among these, the separation of Lord BLANOPOAD titsm •4he high Tory league has afforded infinite satis faction. It would be presumptuous in them to co*c tieretvers. how far—in their general viewi—they will . be likely to coincide with the Noble Marquis in his new chataeter: but their impression is, that they may travel far together. It is true, the unconditional adoption of Roman Catholics into the Legislature of this Protestant empire, appears to have alarmed him into some original reflectioo of bis own, and aroused in him a deep anxiety, le►t it may be turned to the.dettiment of the State. But the law is passed, dr* innovation is introduced s the' busineis as to guerdi now, the Constitution-.stub as it rein its. It is true, also, that the abolitions which the NOW Marquis advocates , might .still •encouater-i-as they'hiihertii did—hls hereditary hostility, and that his, Itie4d4oo4iiii.miteliorations 'has been contingent upon hislittor:.ilripsnliberar-iimasure.

The •iews which the Pa: micron entertain of domestic government, are liberal : they will never sop. port measures which tend to abrogate the freedom of the'snbject. In like manner, their opinions on foreign policy will be bottomed on the soundest principles of liberality; encouraging free bade, and all those inter . - national reciprocities which toter amity, and diminish the chances of collision. • With regard. to the Mechanical appearance of the Paper. arrangements are in progress, which the Pao trairrons hope will render it worthy of public favour $ and until the completion of these, they look for the public indulgimce.

It presents a chain of argument, and deductions, entitled to the gravest considerations of Ministers; nor can we persuade our elves that they will remain inattentive to such reasonings. After esta blishing—what, indeed, Donne will attempt to question —that the throne in Portugal el had been occupied from the moment of the late King's demise with the common consent of the nation, the formal acquiescence of Don MlovaL, and express recognition of Foreign Powers," LIMITANUS proceeds:— " The recognition of foreign Powers is a strict contract, straws' obligatory, forming a part of the rights e %aim, intimately con. named with the general policy and • public tranquillity of Europe ; and all subsequent acts, either against or with respect to sovereignty, thus recognised, must necessarily partake of the same character.—.' To style such a case a sure nutter of internal policy, and coos& quently apply to it the doctrine awn -resistance, is to mistake or to disguise its nature, and open a precedent to the most startling and dangerous consequences." We know not in what light our English Marranumn may see this, but to unprejudiced minds, it is fraught with a great power of conviction. We have all along foreseen that we shall be driven eventually to interfere in the Portuguese succession, but the results of that in terference—as it may be well or ill timed—will be happy or disastrous, to ourselves not less than to Por tugal. According to an article published in the Comfits(- ' simnel, and which will be found among our extracts from the French Papers, it appears that an unpleasant discussion has arisen between the President of Greece and the British Agent in that country, relative to some demands made by the latter. In our allusion to the nomination of CAPO D'ISTRIAS on a former day, we stated that there could be no doubt of the strong bias of that person in favour of Russia. This surmise is fully confirmed by the article in question; and we should not wonder if the present dispute leads to vet y important consequences. Our opinion on the policy which the best interests of England dictate towards Greece is already before the public. We now repe it, that no time should be lost, either in defining the limits of the new State, or in giving it such a political orga nisation under an efficient chief, as shall exclude all undue influence from without, and secure the internal tranquillity of the country. la the Morniag Herald at euerday is a Letter from Mexico, dated May S. The write► states that it is sup. posed the old Spaniards. expelled from the country, withdrew during the last year fifteen millions of dol lars. or three millions sterling in gold and silver. Tak ing these statements as facts, what does the result prove ? 14, That Mexico must be a very rich country to h ave ma d e so m a ny Domes of paupers. 21 That there must be a great respect for property—and hone•ty— when a country in such an impoverished and anarchical state as Mexico is described to be, permits such a re moval of weAlth ; and Sd)y, that Mexico is•much safer from FiRDINAND the Seernth's imrigues, when so , manrenemies to her independence, with such means to ' corrupt fidelity, are no longer in the country. We wish well to Spain, and therefore would like to see the Spaniards occupied in segeoel acing their own country, instead of- being employed m attempting to reimpose the yoke oa the Colonies, and thus diverting their attention from their own state of degradation.

We do not wish to say much - upon the subject now. particularly upon the retrospect- I flee part of it; but our anzieties—we are free to confess —are getting almost beyond our hopes. In regard to the measure of Emancipatioo—saleris feribagglers caa tins ebag—the more we turn it in our minds, the deeper. is our conviction that it was inevitable, alike as a map sore of justice, and a measure of necessity. But we never•considered it as likely to pour immediate balsam into the wounds of Ireland, and daily occurrences only toad to confirm us in this view of the question. No: it has been a.grand achievement.—and as generous as it has been grand, let °Tonna:A detract as be pleases—to do away with distinctions and disabilities, which only served to perpetuate animosities, and heap the fuel of social discord.

The Turkish fortresses, as we know, were supplied with corn from Olsowa (or liachova).;nd the 'Melo sailed unmolested down the river to Sinew's ; but by the taking of Racbova this voyage is impossible. and the ships cannot come lower down than Widdin.

Thus admitting the case of a positive treat; alone, as the sole exceptieo to the general rule of sow ixterfortscs, the same writes alludes to interference force of arms; is not this 'circumscribing the question within too narrow limits? Indeed, how numerous the obligations, which, though not proceeding from treaties, are nevertheless held as sacred as those im. posed by the most binding stipulations? Can any one doubt that the principle of nou•iaterfe►eisee is equally limited by the obligations, and by the sights of other nations? Allow me to illustrate this point. When one nation in its political relations with another tsercises any positive or acknowledged right, no one can, with justice, oppose to the exercise of such right the doe. uine of sea-interference, fur this is a mere negative principle, existing only where the obligation or positive right of interference is wanting. I am fully, aware that, in the absence of the obligation, it may be op. tional to exercise or not the right ; I feel persuaded, however, that it is - no want of good will that has hitherto restrained his Beitanale Majesty's Government from contributing, by every legal means, to the re-es tablishment of the legitimate Queen on the Throne of 1 2 .1tugal, but rather the idea of their not possessing the right to interferer should I labour under an erns aeons opinion on this bead, how painful to me, to you. and to every Englishman, jealous of his country's honour, to be undeceived I The writer already alluded to reject• the principle of Non interfere:we by force of arms; but are there not many other modes of inter fering, without recurring to this alternative? And among these, are there none sufficiently efficacious and powerful for the present case? Here a series of goes• 'ions arises, which calls for reply. The doctrine of aoa•iaterfsrenee is founded on the supposed political independency of each individual patios, and on the right which each possesses freely to regulate the form of its own internal administration; but is it on this footing that the Portuguese question stands?--certainly not. It is nut whether Portugal shall have a Constitutional Government or a despotic one? there is no contention between the subjects and the Sovereign, with regard to the granting or abrogatiag of any institutions; the Constitutional Charter is a mere incident, and a very secondary one, to the main goes dol:. Those very• Three Estates (so styled) of Portugal considered it as such, in the act befo►e mentionedi To present the question under any other aspect would only be an attempt to obscure the truth. The contention then at issue is, between Don Paoao IV. or Donna MA RIA 11. on the one side, and the Infant Duo MIOUIL on the other ; between the lawful Sovereign and the Usurper; and here the principle of non•interfersace, re garded in its true character and nature. cannot apply. At the moment when a throne becomes vacant, should the right of succession •be disputed, or several candidates be forthcoming, it is easy to imagine why • the nation should have the etch:sive right of deciding the point. The matter, then. is one purely belonging to the internal policy of the country. and foreign POWIIII • are bound to suspend their interference, and let the result show who is the lawful sovereign. The restores of the present case, however, are widely different: the throne bad been occupied from the moment of the late King's demise, with the common consent of the nation; the formal acquiescence of Don Miouar., and express recognition of foreign Powers. When the case stands thus, there is no wont for doubts, nor controversy. The recognition of foreign Powers is a strict eoutract, ottriarse obligatory. fin ming a part of the rights of nation, intimately connected with the general policy and public tranquillity of Europe; and all subsequent acts, either against or with respect to sovereignty, thus recoini.ed, must necessarily paitake of the same chi. racier. To style such a case a mere matter of internal policy. and consequently apply to• it the doctrine of sea-resistance, is to• mistake Or to disguise its nature, and open a precedent to the mast startling and danger ous consequences. Let others investigate whether. in the existing trim- • ties between Portugal and England. any paid,e pulation can be found affecting the presentees*: I shall content myself with asserting, that England is effec• . tirally bound to interfere in the Portuguese question: Ist, from thy great there she has had in all that has been done relating to it, from April 1826 up to the pre sent date ; 2d, that she may thus make some reparation for the evils and injuries caused by her own acts to one of the iare t etrad parties. the lawful Sovereign ; 3d, to vindicate British honour for the outrages and insults offered to it by the Portuguese Usurper. To these I may add, that her interference ;lime can extricate Great Britain from the embarraunseuts which already perhaps threaten her future , policy. • .
