The Government of the Princess Regent, in order to prtven e the exiles from committing any hostility against Spain, established three depots for their reception—one for the infantry, a second for the cavalry, and a third to receive officers and civilians. The depots were superintended by Spanish officers of known integrity, while a Portuguese General, with another officer of high rank under him, were entrusted with the command and general management. Such of the refugees as could provide for their own subsistence were al lowed to reside at Lisbon, under the surveillance of the Police. This was so strict and effectual, that with the exception of a few individuals, afterwards proved to have been spies and emissaries sent by the Apostolic*ls, not a single individual betrayed the smallest disposition to take advantage of the asylum thus afforded, to inter fere with what was passing in his own country. Notwithstanding the studious efforts of the Patriots to merit the confidence and ap- probation of the Portuguese Ministers, several were ordered out of the country under suspicion of having infringed .the rules estab lished for their conduct, whether in the depots or at Lisbon. Those who remained were so circumspect and prudent that neither the Minister, SANTA MK, by no means liable to the suspicion of Ultra- liberalism, the almost Apostolical police of Bassos, nor unceasing activity of Sir WILLIMI A'Couzz, could find anything to condemn. As if a regular plan of • persecution had been prepared, scarcely had Don Ithaum arrived, and before his treason burst forth, when suddenly piquets of the armed police sallied out, and in the dead of night seized a Spanish General, some Colonels, several Priests. and Dignitaries of the Church, together with some Spanish merchants who had resided four teen years in Portugal with the full approbation of the Go vernment. The whole of these persons were conveyed to the Lemoira now well known throughout Europe, and thrown into the commonest part of that loathsome receptacle to associate with the vilest criminals. Orders were at the same time given to arrest the commandants of the depots. These were sent front Lisbon and Santaren, to Abrantes and Peniche. While the depots were thus deprived of their leaders, several Portuguese regiments, who had determined to adhere to the charter, were on their march to Oporto, in order to resist the apostolical faction. The Spaniards could have easily repaired to the same point, as there were at this moment no means of preventing such a movement. Having, how ever, pledged themselves to follow the orders of the government, they did not stir, or indeed commit a single act which could fur nish a pretext for the subsequent measures put in force againit them. On the 28th of May, 1828, nearly the whole of the Spanish officers and soldiers, were thrown into three Hulks moored in the Tagus, where with the exception of those who have lately been al lowed to withdraw, they have been exposed to every privation and hardship which the most malignant spirit of persecution could devise. As no preparations whatever were made on board these vessels, for the reception of so many prisoners, nothing could exceed the horror of their situation, and total absence of every conveniency. To add to their sufferings, they were frequently transported, without a moment's notice, from one ship to another, as these happened to be required for some other service. Three hundred soldiers were literally crammed into the lower deck of the Maria Cardoso, and eighty three officers put into the ward-room of the same ship. An equal number of rank and file were confined in the lower deck of the San Samoan, while one hundred and fifteen officers were restricted to a part of the ward-room. Besides the misery of being thus huddled together in such a limited space. the ports were fastened down with iron bolts, so that there was not a particle of air except what descended through the hatchways, and not a soul was suffered to go on deck. In addition to this state of suffering, they had neither beds nor hammocks, nor were they allowed any cooking utensils.— Some notion may be formed of their situation with regard to cloth ing, when it is stated that several of the officers were almost naked, while scarcely a stogie individual bad a change of linen. They were soon covered with vermin, which, together with want of food and other privations,brought on a contagions fever : this carried off num bers, especially on board the Maria Cardoso. The soldiers were of course forced to perform all the drudgery of the ships, and during the time thus employed, armed keepers with bludgeons in their hands, inflicted heavy blows on the most frivolous pretences.— Emissaries were sent on board by the police to tamper with the pri soners, and persuade them to effect their escape ; those of the exiles whose wives had followed their fortunes were separated from them and confined in a different part of the ships. Whenever a muster took place, die Portuguese commander never failed to point some loaded cannon towards the prisoners lest any attempt at escape should be made. A considerable number were also immured in the dungeons of Saint Julian, where they continue exposed to hardships and cru elties which are almost incredible. It is a well known fact, that the tide frequently Bows into the narrow cells in which they are confined, that they ate scarcely ever suffered to see the light of day, while bread and water is their only food. Titles .Terdais, the governor, and one of the most furious partisans of the usurper, de lights in adding to the tortures .f his victims, by getting up accusations of plots against them, and inflicting punishment with his own hand, whenever vengeance or caprice may dictate. It was thus that be destroyed the virtuous Munoz Toaasao, a member of the Spanish Cones, and a Bishop, distinguished for his piety, learning, and patriotism. The death of this amiable prelate, who died through the cruelty of his treatment, is deplored by the whole constitutional party of Spain as an irreparable calamity. The mode adopted by the agents of the Usurper to tantalize their victims, and inspire hopes of release which there was no intention of carrying into effect, is worthy of remark. So early as August, 1828, a few month. after their imprisonment, they were de sired to name the countries to which they wished to retire. This was instantly complied with, by some naming England, others France, the Brazils, and even Spain. It was not, however, till last April that any person could obtain his liberation. Forty-three officers, and a hundred and thirty soldiers, were then escorted by a large armed force to Bedejos, and there handed over to the authorities, by whom they were instantly consigned to a prison. Those who remained being again ordered to indicate the points to which they wished to go, warned by the fate of those who bad selected their own country, renewed the former request relative to England, and two parties have accordingly reached this country. There is still a large number remaining in confinement, and exposed, as before, to every species of suffering which a rigorous imprisonment can inflict. How different was the reception of the ?diguelites in Spain ! Not only were they assisted by the Government even after its policy with regard to them had changed, but the very Constitutionalists, whose relatives were afterwards confined in the bulks at Lisbon, paid them the most humane attentions. It is said that remon strances were made by some of the Consuls resident at Lisbon, and that even the Envoy of FUDDIAND, brother to the Spanish Minis ter now in London, joined in these representations to the agents of the Usurper —with what effect, it is needless to state. Judge Day and Mrs. Day left Limerick on Monday, for Clatisford-House, the seat of the Lord Bishop of Killaloe.

A vessel has arrived from Buenos Ayres at Liverpool, sailed 18th of August; nothing has as yet transpired of the information she brings. The New Orleans Mercantile Advertiser, says, that „An important law case was pending before one of the Courts of that city, involving the right all d duty of a Court of that country to deliver up a deserter from a foreign army within its territory. It arose from a demand made by a Lieutenant of the Spanish Forces at the town for the arrestatjon and deli very of a deserter to his officer, and is resisted on various grounds. No description of the case has as yet taken place, FOR THE STAR. THE RECANTATION. " I ant not mad, vast n.blr FESTL I.'

" A MAD WORLD, MY MASTERS I " - There was once an Athenian, named TIIRAMILVS, who was mad in the pleasantest manner imaginable. He cherished a notion that the gods had bestowed upon him the Empire of the Ocean ; and he stoutly maintained that every ship which put to shore in the Pyroeus was hiA own pro perty. Thus he conceived himself to be the richest man in Greece, or in the world, without encountering any risks, or exciting any envy. Of the ships which were wrecked, he took no pains to make any inquiries, but was beyond measure delighted when a vessel came safe into port with a valuable cargo. He lived a long time in this flattering delusion, till one of his brothers, who had a tender regard for him, arrived from Sicily. By his di rections he was attended by a skilful Physician, who succeeded in restoring him to the sound possession of his faculties. This was no sooner effected than his cheerful ness abandoned hrm, and he ever afterwards declared that he had never been so happy as when he drove a trade with all the world from his own port, the Pyrteus. [We have heard of a great General who, though he once thought he must be mad to aspire to the conduct of any civil Government, was, nevertheless, soon after wards infected with so insane an ambition, or so ambi tious a delusion, that he contrived to t rt himself ap pointed Director-General of the affairs of a maritime na tion. Like our mad Athenian, he never troubled him self about.the external disasters or disgraces, the ship wrecks or piracies, the loss of possessions or declining influence of the States whose destinies he swayed, (with " a voice potential, as double as the Duke's,") but was overjoyed when by chance or good fortune, a vessel ar rived in safety, or a measure of the Government suc ceeded. How long his delusion lasted, no authentic memorial has yet informed the world ; but his contempo raries were in perpetual dread that he would preside long over the councils of the kingdom to survive, not only his own popularity, but the glory of the country.] GREAT MEN, LIKE CORN.—When we look at a field of corn, we find that those stalks which raise their heads highest, are the emptiest. The same is the case with men ; those who assume the greatest consequence have generally the least share of judgment and ability. CONSERVATORS OF PARLIA 31 EN T.—" GLOUCES TER, July 18th, 1646.

A HINT TO THE PERSECUTORS OF TILE PRESS.— Frederick of Prussia, looking out at his window, ob served a great crowd of people who were reading a paper pasted up against a wall. "Go and see what it is," said he to one of his pages. When the page re turned and informed his Majesty, that it was a satire against him. The king magnanimously replied, " it is too high, go and place it a little lower, in order that every body may read it." Governor San Luez has marched with 800 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, to attack Tampico. The Great Chapter of the Cathedral of Mexico has given a donation of 10,000 dollars, to defray the ex penses of the war. Letters from Madrid of the 12th October mention that General Anedendo will be appointed to command the se cond expedition preparing at the' , Havannah for Mexico, THE KING. WINDSOIt, OCT. 25.—fhis forenoon the KING, ac companied by the Duke of CuMBERLAN I), the Lo D STEWARD, Sir ANDREW BARN ARD, and Sir FREDE RICK WATSON, attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, adjoining tho Royal Lodge. The Rev. Mr. SEY mot: a performed Divine Service, and Mr. Ho nN presided at the organ. After Divine Service it was expected that the Duke of CUMBERLAND would leave the Royal Lodgel for his residence at Kew. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the Duke of (;t.:m ar II LA x n arrived at the Royal Lodge in his phaeton, drawn by a pair of beautiful grays, which his Royal Hitriniess drove, attended by his groom. on horse bac:.:. and hi:: valet. His Royal Highness break fasted with his MAat STr. After breakthst his Royal Highness equipped himself for the sports of the field, and, attended by Mr. Tr It N ER, the h t NG's head gamekeeper, set mat with dogs, &c. His Royal Highness is said to be a good shot, having made some havoc (particularly among the pheasants, partridges being rather scarce this season) in the Great Park and its envi rons. After three hours sport, with which his Highness was much pleased, he returned to the Royal Lodge, and after changing his dress, partook of some refi.eshment with the KIN ,whom he accompanied in his pony pliaet:na, and left the Royal Lia:ge at two &deck, followed in a single phaeton by Sir AV 1) It EW BARNARD and Sir F OF.ltlCli WATSON. His MasEsrv, on leaving the R 0741 Lodge, the weather being very flue, took some airy and rural drives, proceeding through the pleasure grounds of the Royal Lodge, by Cumberland Lodge, the Obelisk, Virginia Water, and Belvidere, and returned by Blackness, China Island, Mill Wood, and Sandpit-gate, to the Royal Ledge, where his MAJESTY arrived at half-past five, and at seven o'clock honoured his illustrious brother an distinguished attendants with his company to dinner. This forenoon her Royal Highness Princess Au (; u STA . accompanied by Lady MART TAYLOR, her Lady in Waiting, attended Divine Service, at the parish church. This afternoon the band of the Royal Blues entertained, as usual, for upwards of two hours, a numerous and respectable assemblage on the Castle Terrace. His MA) EsT 1", in the course of his daily drives, seldom fails to visit the Castle, where it is expected he will take up his abode early this winter. CITY. TwELve o'CLoc x. Owing to the express this morning from Paris having disap pointed the general expectations of our City speculators, in not bringing the French Rentes higher, our Consol Market has rather experienced a trifling decline from the opening price, which wa filii for Money, and 9161 for the Account ; but at present may be quoted 91ii for Money, and 91ii for the Account. Forty thousand Money Stock has just been purchased, which has had the effect of keeping the market firm. In the Foreign Market little doing as yet. CITY. HALF-PAST ONE. Since the opening of the Market, when Consols were at 01i Buyers for the Account. they have since continued the whole of the morning at 91i and 913 j for money, wiih little bw.ineu transacting. The speculators are waiting to obtain some further information in regard to Government's intentions of paying off the Four per Cents. The private letters from Holland by the Flanders Mail state that, in general, the Funds there have improved. The Dutch 2i per Cents. which were 54, have got up to 60. The fall in the Metalliques at Vienna is attributed to the inun dations at Trieste. One report states that the whole of the town had been destroyed. In the Foreign Market nothing doing, and most of the prices are much the same as on Saturday. It appears by accounts from Halifax just received, that less distress is experienced there than generally reported ; and the demand was seldom known greater for woollen cloths in Leeds and its neighbourhood. Most persons are employed, and the demand for stuffs at Bradford and Halifax are considerable. The packet boat, Charlemagne, has arrived at Havre, after a short passage of 18 days from New York, bring ing letters and papers to the 2d October ; but they do not contain any further information of consequence from Mexico than previously received. They state that a revolution took place at Lima on the .sth of June, with out the effusion of blood ; (this we had before) and pre liminaries of peace between Colombia and Peru was signed on the 15th July at the head-quarters of Bolivar. The armistice was for 70 days. (This information is also not new as we received it by the last American Papers.) The Mary has arrived at Baltimore from Buenos Ayres ; left on the 26th August. Great k.Titation was prevailing there. Rosas was still menacing the town of Buenos Ayres. Admiral Laborde was to leave New Orleans on the 9th September, with the Spanish battalion, which was to be embarked on board two transports for Tampico. By the letters received front Liverpool this morning, of the 24th instant, it appears that on Tuesday the prices of wheat further gave way 3d. or 4d. and those of oats about Id. per bushel, at which reduction a fair extent of business was transacted. Flour was Id. and oatmeal 6d. to Is. per peck cheaper, and the supplies have since been very limited. The duty on foreign wheat has increased Is. and in oats Is. 6d. per quarter. In sugar a good business was doing, but no advance on the prices: 1,300 bads. have been disposed of, chiefly to the refiner. No thing done in East India or foreign. In cotton, this is the fourth successive week in which a very extensive business has been done ; the sales during the last four weeks realise 83,890 bags. The import of this week is 7,406 bags, and the sales are 19,110 bags.— The Custom Duties of Liverpool have presented a very gratifying increase for the last quarter, the augmentation being between 80 to 90,0001. making the quarter's re ceipt to nearly one million sterling. Accounts have been received at Havre, by the Alcede, from the Isle of Bourbon, of the 25th July. The two corvettes, Nierre and Chevrette, anchored in the Roads of Saint Denis to water ; after which they sailed to join the frigate La Therpsychore, the Infatigable, and cor vette Madagascar, with troops on board. This division is commissioned to drive away the Malgaches, who have taken possession of the establishments the French had in the Island. The landing of the troops was to take place at Fort Dauphin and Sainte Marie. The Queen's mother, who governs Madagascar, has a great inveteracy against the French, and will not suffer that nation's Bag to be displayed any longer in her territory. Her troops are disciplined on the European principle, and are expected to make a desperate resistance to the invasion of the French. NA 'CE.

DUTY ON CORN, ADDITIVA AL TAXATION. In the Revenue Accounts lately publD•hed, the amount of duty paid on foreign corn inported is not distinguished from other Custom-house duties. A report prevails, however, winch is probably correct—for the price here and the state of the harvest would lead speculators to import corn from the Continent tod take it out of bond—that during the last quarter the deficit in the Customs, nearly "400,000 on the whole year, has been com. pensated by the large sum paid as duty oil foreign corn.— Whether the Government intended the present Corn Fill to be a source of revenue or not—and we believe it did— it actually is so to a considerable extent. It appears from a Re turn, ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, ( P..ra Pap. No. 127) that the amount of duty paid on foreign coin and meal, under the Act of 1828, between the months of July, 18ho, and February, 1829, inclusive, was £256,983, of which £1 56,514 were paid between October and February, and come within the year's accounts. It bas been stated by Mr. Whitmore, that Greg Britain annually consumes six million qua more corn titan she produces. Of these six millions, three are furnished by Ireland, three by foreigners; so that, in spite of our Prohibitory Law, which existed up to 1828, we have actually become dependent ou foreign countries for about a tenth part of our annual sub-istence. These facts are confirmed by the Parliamentary Paper No. 31, Session 1828, in which it is stated that no less than 2,986,553 quarters of coin were actually imported into this coo:my from abroad. We observe that during January and February of the present year, there were im ported, according to the Parliamentary Paper No. 127, Session 18L9, 655,238 quarters of corn, of which no less than 438,5E7 were wheat, the duty for the two months being upwarJs of £75,000. As the duty varies, it is impossible ro con jecture what it may amount to in a year. Suppreutg that eOO,OOO quarters of wheat are annually imported, when the price is 655. and the duty 18s. and suppo-ing that 5w a quarter is paid on the 2,400,000 quarters of other grain, making up the' three million quarters that are annually imported, this new tax levied on the people will amount to upwards of one million year. It is at least certain that the Cut U Bill of 1828 opened a new source of taxation, from which 4156,514 were collected before the month of March last. Notwithstanding this addi • :tonal tax, the revenue has fallen dr £146,442, or is less this year than last by that sum. Taxation, therefore, has gone to - youd the point of production; and the Parliament, by levying a tax on bread, is gradually stifling the great goose that has Ihitherto supplied it with such an abundance of golden eggs.— Morning roper. CORN—EXCHANGE, MARK.LADINt Um. IS. Although our supplies last week were large. and those fresh its this morning from Este:. Kent, and Suffolk, equally so, fine samples of Wheat fully supported the prices of this day se'iinight ; there appeared to be more inquiry after the second qualities, but little progress was made in the sale of those articles. Fine Malting Barley being in short supply, fully maintained last Monday's prices —the greater part of the arrival, although large, was stained, and unfit for malting purpose..
