PORTUGUESE QUESTION. PARIS, AUGUST S. ',ROM THE ZIONITEIM AND GAZETTE DI PRANCE. The affairs of Portugal unceasingly exercise the saga , , s thy of the English and French Journals. Nothing can be more natural. The most important questions—all the questions of the day—connect themselves with this question. That which ought to tend ecsentially to furnish a solutitib to it, is the fact, that all parties seem agreed on the essential point—namely, that the anarchy which prevails in that part of the Peninsula is the only source of alarm and annoyance. The only difference is, as to the remedy. Ihe Times, and all our liberal opposition, obstinately maintain that the remedy is to be found in the return of Don Pedro to Portugal ; we, on the con trary, Is ik for it in the accession of Don Miguel to the Regeng. It is between these two measures that a choice is to be made. We must observe, in the first place, that a war is sieves terminated without conditions, which are too often themselves the source of future wars; that in the old as in the new world, at the end of a political debate, as at the end of a judicial debate, these remains always the articles of injured interests, and the vanquished must pay the expenses of the struggle. That is the time for studying the resources of a country, or to invent, to meet its pain:, new ones. If territory be acquired or ceded, the consequent arrangements or the derangements have equaliy their embarrassments. We say nothing of the multitude of litigious questions, %%Inch the treaty has out been able to foresee, and which the occasion gives 'rise to. We ask if, in this state of things, it would be well to counsel Don Pedro to undertake a voyage of four thou sand leagues to Portugal and back again? Who will govern Brazil during this long absence ? A Council of Regency is always dangerous, even in consolidated rnonirchies. What would it be in an infant monarchy, which the spit it of Republicanism besieges, arid perhaps governs ? A physical impossibility opposes the con centration of power in a single person of the Royal Wood, since the Emperor has no Consort, and his children are of tender years. The conclusion of a peace, 4 therefore, will not facilitate the voyage of ibe Emperor. Le: us now suppose the difficulties with respect to Bread Got over, and look on those which await Don Pedro in Europe. He has declared solemnly, that " it is incompatible with the interests of Brazil and those of Portugal that he, Don Pedro, shall continue King of Poi tugal.' Take care that this is n' t an incompatibility founded on the difference of legislations, which, on the contrar y,sttongly resemble each other, but on the necessity which exists for a difference between the " ckminations." It would eat be, then, to govern Portugal that he would come. What will he do here then ? What benefit will he bring to the Portuguese? flow long will he remain amorg them? What will become of Brazil during his absence ? What will become of Portugal when he shall have left it? Who will profit from this voyage? Brazil? No; for during the time which it consumes, brazil will be deprived of a Sovereign, whose presence, up to this time, bas appeared indispensable to the maintenance of its trarquillity. Will this voyage, then be profitable to Portugal? No; for how can its interests be advanced by the temporary presence of a Sovereign. who abdi cates in favour of a child eight years old, and who alter, as before his voy..ge, is obliged to confide the Regency to those in whose hands it has produced the effects we vow witness ; at to him whose accession would render ' this voyage useless? The cpiestion still returns to this -who will profit from this voyage? Surely some one ought to profit Flom it. We, in f •ct think that it will be profitable to those who desire a revolution in Brazil, and fresh disorders in Portugal. The Conslitutionnei, in discussing this subject, re proaches us with a contradiction. When they quo.e, they ought to quote fairly. We have n•t said that the Portuguese Charter would never be popular. We have said that it was not for us to inquire whether it ever , would be so. It must, at any rate, be admitted that it . is not very popular at present. That which has been described as a decision on our pot, was, on the con trary, a refusal to decide. II•rt supposing that, in our view of the subject, the • Charter does not suit P. rtugal, would that be a motive 1 th recommend the non-observance of it to tire Prince, who claims, in his own name, the reins r , f the State, and who waits to take them tilt the time appointed for it shall arrive? If the Charter is impeifect, it carries in its own bosom the remedy, since it establishes a Re resentative Government. If the manner of the people i o whom it is made require that it shall one day be • dified, it points itself to the course which should be followed to effect the necessary modification. Until : then It is the law of the land, it is the title of the Re- gent, it is a sacred deposit in his hands. The enemies of Don Miguel do not consider them. Selves beaten. It is incredible what clouds they con- jure up to conceal an evident right, whether they look at it as a national convenience, or as a constitutional necessity. The correspondent of the journal which we bare quoted has distingui,hed himselt above all others by the subtleness of his chicanery. According to him, the 92d Article could never apply to Don Miguel, because it is at present only applicable to Donna Isabella. This is exactly what it would be to plead that a minor can never dispose of his property. because he is not yet of age. But, say they, the proof that Don Mignel cannot profit from the article 92 is, that article 90 interdicts to the husband of the Queen all participation in the Govern yuent, until that she has become a mother by him. Is not this to confound two situations altogether distinct rtiorn each other ? When Don Mgoel shall be the hus band of his niece, she will have gained her majority. There will then be no longer a Regency ; and until she attains her majcrity, a Regency is necessary; and so long as a Regency shall be necessary, it is necessary efiat the person invested with it shall satisfy all the con• ditions of the Charter. There is no occasion here for the least delusion. Don Miguel, as Regent, ought to eaercise all the powers given by the Charter to the Re gent. As husband to the young Queen, he ought to rest sati•fi d with all the honours which the Charter reserves to the husband qi the young Queen. These ate two personages separated by a distinction as clear as the light of day. They quote even the words of the Act of Abdiea eon. Let us see what these words ate: " 1 declare, that my daughter. Queen . Regent of Portugal, shall not quit the empire of Brazil without its being previously known officially, that the Constitution has been sworn to, according to my commends, and without the espou eels of the marriage, which I propose to make her con tact with my dearly beloved and bonouted brother, the LONDON.

Nothing certain has transpired as yet on the subject of the Administration, beyond what we stated yesterday; nor will any thing, we believe, be made known till after Mr. CANNING'S [uncial. In the meantime, Lord GODCRICH, with his characteristic zeal and ard ur, is incessantly employed in fulfilling his MAJzsTy's com mands on the subject. This mor.ing his Llrdship re ceived visits from almost all the Ministers who are no,. in town, as well as from Sir Wst KNIGIITON, w ho was probably charged with a coma unication from the KING. Lords I.3ExLEY and HARROWBY have le t town for a few days, which is a strong presumption that all the ptincip .1 d.fficulties are settled. We received this mottling Frankfort Papers to the 4th inst. An article from Vi.•nna, dated the 25Th ult. says that the Arsttian National Commercial Associa• Lion, of which we published an account some time since, has been strengthened by the accession of several ersinealmanufacturers. Though the great object of the Society is to promote the sale Of the manuracitres' o f the Empire, yet a portion of its funds ii to be applied to the encouragement of every branch of the natir.nal industry. Another object of the Institution is tO supply the manufacturers in time of need with pecuniary aid ; and, upon the whole, the plan is showy, and might even answer the purposes for which it has been ostensibly set on Poor, provided the Austrian Go vernment could be persuaded to respect the funds. Sould a war, however, break out, we fear the neressifes l of that Power would overcome its scruples, and that' the Society's funds would soon find their way into the public treasury, under the convenient name of a loan. All arbitrary Governments are great schemers, and have always some plan on the tapis for enriching their sub jects, and filling their own coffers. But all their schemes end generally in smoke, as the condition if the Austfan Empire itself forcibly attests. Though it contains thirty millions of souls, a fine soil, and, in general, a most genial climate, yet it has scarcely made any progress in real improvement for the last fifty years; and as long as it retains its present debilitating system of Government, it will continue to afford one qf the 'strongest argumeas in favour of Constitutional rule. It will be seen from the following article that the Prussian Government is seriously occupied at this time 'with the wise and humane design of me:iorating the condition of its subjects: BERLIN, JuLT 30. " One of the subjects which the Estates of the Duchy of Saxony had to discuss in their first Session related to the Improvemeut of the civil condition of the Jews. The Estates were of opinion that some restrictions were nearssary to secure the interest of the Other branches of the community, hut that they should go no further than necessity required : they therefore judged that the Law of March 11, 1912, might be taken as the bask of a general legislative measure on the subject, but with many modifications which relate to the exclu sion of the Jews from all offices of the State and municipal offices, to the limitation of their establishments, the prohibition of trading in the country in general, and a total prohibition of hawking and ped dling, and also to their acquiring landed property. The minority of the Estates thought this last point of little importance, provided the , Jews were not allowed to exercise the Patrimonial jurisdiction, the Police, the Church patronage, and similar rights. The Estates unanimously expressed a wish that means might be found of effect jug a moral improvement in the majority of that people, by which alone it can be gradually qualified fur the enjoyment of enlarged civil rights, and to this end—they should be obliged to let their chil dren attend the Christian school:. except the religious instruction.", We also received this morning the Algemeine Zeituni to the 4:h inst. containing accounts from Constantinople to the 11th ult. It is stazei that the.utmost tranquillity prevailed there at that date, whilst the military reforms and warlike preparations •proceeded with the greatest rapidity. It is affirmed that the Ambassadors cf Rus sia, France, and England, were waiting for deci.ive instruction; from their respective Courts on the subject of the answer received from the PORTS. To judge from the silence observed in 0 ese accounts, it would appear t! at no suspicion was then entertained that the Ambassadors would soon leave that capital. Ne s, somewhat similar to that which recently appeared in the French Pape-S, bad reached Constantinople from 'Ale:. andrla. arming- shin Lo d Crcreamit h made his ap• pearance with nineteen ships before that port, and that his Lordship ran awl on seeing the Egyp•ian fleet coming to gi•e them battle. Es•en the saturnine Turks ale said to have been eery merry when they heard of the ght of his Lordship; but, if we are not mistaken, it WAS a Nubian flight, feigned for the purpose of enticing the Egyptians into the open sea. If this, however, was the object of oor brave and enterprising countryman, it failed, as the Egyptian fleet immediately returned to' port. We hive made copious extracts from the Provincial Papers, from which it will be seen that only one senti ment pervades them all on the subject of Mr. CAN mans death—that of regret at the loss of that eminent and popular Statesman. Extract of a letter dated Lisbon, July '2B I dare say that the accounts which go from hence by the mail will be alarming, from their exaggeration. SaWanha, the War Minister, and rather a popular man, but who has identified himself with the obnoxious Liberals,was on Tuesday last dismissed from his place, and a good deal f agitation was the consequence. The people have assembled in large parties every night since, and are eh deavouring to see whether, by the farce of brawling and voci ferating, they can get him reinstated. The weakness of the Com mander of the Forces, in the first instance, gave great en couragement to the assemblings, as no attempt was made to put a stop to them. The command of the troops was, how ever, given yesterday to the Conde de Villa- Flor, a young man of firmness and of distinguished courage, and he last night caused the meetings to be dispersed by the military. The mobs did not proceed to any open violence, but threatened it ; and impunity any longer might have led to much mischief. There is a party In the country which too much resembles the Sans-Culottes of the French revolt/. min, but tpe party is not strong in numbers, and more than Insigni ficant as to respectability of names. Ido not entertain the slightest apprehension for the tranquillity of Lisbon at present, as I know that the strongest measures are taken to secure it and the popular Minister, a well-intentioned but weak man, has himself determined to leave the country and embark." After the bieoking up of the Cabinet Council on Thursday night, a messenger was dispatched to the Kos at Lb Royal Lodge. The Eat I of HA a now iv left town yesterday morning, for his seat, Sandon Hall, Staffordshire; previous to his departure, the Noble Earl had an iuteiview with Viscount Duraistr sad WARD, principal Secretary of Stare for Foreign Affairs. Ihe Maicplis of ANGLESEY anti the Right Hon. &owls Runtime had interviews yesterday with Viscoeat Gana men, at his residence in Downing-street. At five o'clock in the afternoon, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the Loan CH ANCRI.I.Ot, the Duke of PORTLAND, the Marquis of Wooers. the Marquis of ANGLISZT, Viscount GODURICII, Viscount Duotsr and W ARD ViSCOUtit PAI.NRIISTON, the Earl of Caauste. Mr. STURGIS BOURNE, Mr. WTNN, Mr. Ti , and Lord II The Ministers sat in deliberation for about two hours. A short time previous to the meeting . of the Cahipet Council, Lord Opos sum received dispatches from Windsor, from his Mrazarv. the LI'RD CHAt•CMLLOR and the Marquis of A/C -ammy had a conference with V i s count GODERICN after the break ! iog up of the Cabinet Council. Lord o Baxt.eY, atter attending the Cabinet Council yesterday evening, left town for his seat at Foot's Cray, Kent. The Duke of GLOUCESTER paid a viit to his sister, the Princess Sornl4 Martina yesterday, at her residence on Black heath. Mrs. MANNERS SUTTON (the Lady of the Arch. bishop of CA►TTTT nay), has been confined by a serious illness for some days put, at the seat of his Grace, at Addington, Surrey.— Dr. Wawa has attended on Mrs. Surrux daily. The Speaker of 'the House of Commons has paid daily visits to his afflicted panto. Infant Don Miguel, has been ceiebrsted, and the mar riage completed ; and this abdication and this *micro not take place, if either of these conditions shall Jug be satisfied! We may defy thlkmost intrepid pupil of Scott to find in this passage anything which excludes Don Miguel from the Regency. All that can be inferred from it ls, that the abdication shall be null, if the marriage of Don Miguel is not completed at that period when k will be possible to complete it. The question hinges only on that. Further, is it not very probable, that the words" mar- riage completed" are only a matter of style, adding nothing to the meaning of the phrase ? Since the deci- sion of p lineal interests is referred to grammar, we admit that grammar does not give to the word " two" the value of the word " three." Nuw, according to the adversaries of Don Miguel, there are three conditions which Don Pedro will have imposed before the abdica Lions he definitive—thi, oath, the espousals, and the consummation. In all cases they say, it is for Don Pedro to decide. Author of the Charter, he alone knows the true mean ing of it. if this assertion, registered in the Constitts time', be compared with so many others with which it troubles itself till the remembrance of them is effaced, it is impossible not to remark that a great revolution has taken place in its ideas. Indeed, by force of liber alism it will fall, if it do not take care, into servilism. Behold, he who has defined the Regency an immovable authority, grants to Don Pedro the right of regulating it as he may please in maintaining in it the Infanta his sister, or in confer ring it on whom he thinks good. The mad management i.f the enemies of Don Miguel is great, and the Emperor has few thanks to offer to them for the character of animosity, and almost of faction, which they have bestowed on his Charter. To conclude--The spirit and the text of the Charter, the interest of Brazil, and th it of Portugal, the repose of Europe, as well as that of America—in fine, the common law of nations, all oppose themselves to the return of Don Pedro—all reject the autlio:ity of an ar biter who has discpalified himself. We repeat it, he has abdicated. Ile decl ,res himself that his abdication is nor the consequence of disgust, or t f any secret inspiration, but the effect of a radical impossibility, which must vtherefore remain the same after his return as it is be fore his departure. To proclaim this principle, and shortly afterwards to unite in himself its() powers which oppose each other, would not be an act of sound policy. Europe and America would think themselves played with. Out of this violation of the Charter by its author—out of this contempt for a necessity by him who had solemnly recognized it, per p'exities and, conflicts would arise, of which human wisdom cannot determine the issue. It is a principle, admitted in all times, dia• an individual cannot ie•ascend the thrine which he has voluntarily resigned, and that the affairs of nations ought to be made independent of caprice. Thus Europe has not comid red the successor of Vic. tor Amedee, a had sun, for having repressed the re turning ambition of his father. The presence of Don Pedro in Portugal would only serve to revive parer differences, to rekindle civil war, to furnish motives or pretexts to his enemies in Ame rica for rendering v, id the charter which he has given as a pledge of peace—in a word, se:iously to compro mise the throne which he aLanions, and the throne which he retains, the repose of 13 azil, and that of the Peninsula. Convulsions of all sorts appear to us bound up with the project, and ready to issue forth to affect the world. Let us hive, with the friends of order and peace, that this appteheatian will not be realia.d. THE' EVENING STAR. ME LATE Ma. clangor ;.

Mr. CANNING was in the habit of spending a few days almost every year at his friend's house, Mr. &I.is (nom Lnrd &tarots's), at Seaford, and was always very early in his morning walks.

Mr. C. during breakfiet there, amused himself with noticing the younger branches (for there were seven children of the poor Lieutenant who inhabited, with their parents, the Signal house).

Suffice it to say, in a few days the boy was sent for, fitted out as a Midshipman, and is now a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy. The girl, bound apprentice co a Lady in Parnell, is since married, and comfortably off. All this expense entirely frayed by that great and good man, and the tears of this veteran's family follow him to the grave. PR M THZ PRpVI , 'CIAL PAPERS RECtIViD THIS Moßsho. REPORTER, •UOUST 9.

Freedom and enfranchisement was proclaimed every w►eet: a bright and glorious prospect for England, and through her, Inc the whole catch was opened to mankind. A new era was com menced, when it was hoped all the blessings would be realised of universal emancipation; but, alas! Mr. Canning I• now deid,m4 all these glowing visions are dimmed.
