I I ' wound to the extent 0! 347;3951 16s. whilst, at the same tiuee, cur revenue cains an enormous itam by these impovs ; British merchants, a pi fitit. out and home, and we besides give employment to seven bun. drat ships. including those from Newfoundland annually navigated by nor hurtircd thousand seamen, the collective freights of which are not less than 250,0001. It therefore becomes our duty, as well as our interest, to preserve, with the utmost vigilance and caution, all those channels of trade, even the sant:est. to which we have been accustomed. The benefits derived t to aught to be cherished, as so many restoratives to a suffering 1"in:lane:1, and not sacrtficed to any views of temporary expediency. Thy rtsults of the last two years, in reference to Portugal, are aterining. In the returns, it is seen that, in 1828, our imports from Pertozal, were 587.3651. and exports 2,81,7571; but in 1829, the tiviperts were 584,8181. whilst the exports fell to 1,764,0321; and, oaring the last year ending the sth January, 1831, I can assert that the at time has been proportionate. The Oporto Company is a corporate Body, composed of cultivators, merchants and capitalists, created by charter, with a board, chosen by ballot and entrusted with fiscal powers, in every thing regarding poet wines. If its officers, in the exercise of their fiscal duties, give rise to annoyances, let these be compared with those of our own Excise laws, stockings and permits, to which the foreigner, as well as the English man, is subjected. ur Excise regulations are °Gerais in the extreme; but they are ordained by law and cannot discriminate, or be dispensed with. In an infinitely milder degree, similar rules are enforced at Oporto and have produced the best effect. In Lisbon, no Royal Corn. patty exists-there the trade is free, and yet what is the consequence ? Red wines are unknown and the white in disrepute. Front 16,000 pipes, the exportation is reduced to 1000 per annum. No one can look upon the nature and duration of that friendly inter course that has so long subsisted between Great Britain and Portugal, without being astonished at the state of our political and commercial relations, at the ternmencement of 1831. It began as early as the year 1294, by itE interchange of friendly acts between Edward 1. and Deniz Kitue i „ of Portugal, and in that way continued till the year 1363, when a Treaty of Commerce was negotiated, with our Effikrd 111. for 50 years. In 1373, another Commercial Treaty was made, and afterwards one of Friendship and Alliance, both of which were confirmed in 1387. A treaty of peace was again con. eluded between Richard 11. and John I. of Portugal, in 1383, and re. newel by our Henry in 1387. We entered into a Commercial Treaty in 14413, and again in 1431 and 1442. In the year 1441, a fresh treaty of peace was concluded between Richard 111. and Alonzo V. renewed during the following year by Edward IV. when all previous compacts were confirmed. In 1484, all former treaties were confirmed and re newal, and again in 1489. In this manner was our intercourse kept up and cherished till the year 1642, by various friendly acts, exchanges of civilities, special grants and favours, as well as public instruments; amounting in all, from the year 1294 to the period last mentioned, to 115, including the Goa Convention, in 1635. The whole are recorded in Rymer's Faders and Dumont. I have a specification of the entire series before me, and nothing but the apprehension of being too minute, prevented me fro m: inserting it. In 1642, a Treaty of Peace and Commerce was concluded between Charles I. and John IV. in 1643, a law passed in Portugal respecting the trial of suits, pending between British subjects ; in 1645, King Emanuel granted special privileges to foreign merchants ; in 1647, on their behalf, certain articles were exempted from the payment of duties; in 1654, a treaty was made with Cromwell; in 1656. British subjects were exempted from war-taxes and allowed a Judge Conservator; in 1657, their vessels were placed on a level with Portuguese, as regards port-charges; in 1660, a treaty was made with England by Alonzo VI. confirming those of 1652 and 1651, and for a large armament to be sup. plied to Portugal; in 1861, a law was passed exempting British sub jects from the payment of brokerage, and the King's marriage with Ca tharine of Portugal solemnized ; in 1665, Alonzo VI. issued a royal order respecting the payment of dues to the Judge Conservator ; in 1667, British subjects were privileged from arrest, unless by order of their Judge Conservator; in 1608, a decree was issued respecting the preference in privileges granted to the British over the natives; in 1699, a royal order was not to collect the duty of 41, per cent. on the property of Engl ish, and Dutch, not naturalized ; in 1703, a treaty of defensive alliance was made between Englund, Por tugal, and Holland, containing twenty articles; in the same year, an offensive and defensive league was entered into between the Queen of England, the Emperor Leopold, Peter 11. of Por tugal and the States General, to support the rights of the House of Austria to the throne of Spain, and in this year also the lilethucn Treaty was negociatetl. In 1704, the Royal Order for the use of British Woollens, previously alluded to, was published. In this year Great Britain also guaranteed the Treaty between Portugal and France, and 1715, the one between Portugal and Spain. In 1716, a Convention was made at Bombay; in 1721, the British entered into an offensive and defensive all in Asia ; in the same year, an Act of Parliament was passed regulating the dues payable by British subjects to their Consul in Portugal; in 1763, Ills Most Faithful Majesty acceded to the Treaty of Peace between England and France ; in 1793, a Treaty of Alliance was concluded between Great Britain and Portugal ; 1808, a suspension of hostilities agreed upon between Sir Arthur Wellesley and General Keller; in the same wear a convention was entered into between Admiral Cotton and the hussian Admiral; 1809, a convention made with the Prince Regent of Portugal, for the loan of 600,0001. and finally in 1810, Treaties of Com alert c and Alliance were aigned at Rio de Janeiro; and in 1815, an ta r •• ,:raltilt took place for the abolition of the Slave Trade. i here is good sense in this ; but Miguel is a usurper and a tyrant,-and, what is worse, be abused the hospitality and confidence of this Government, when he passed from Windsor, to commence his tyranny at Lisbon.

LONDON. -..- TUESDAY, APRIL 12. ••• We beg leave to Inform our friends in Nottingham, that Mr. &mows, Bookseller, Chapel Row, has obligingly undertaken to re ceive Orders, Advertisements, and Intelligence for the STAR, in regard to that Town and Vicinity. We have received the Mositeur of Saturday, 10th Aug. which contains a very long list of the Subscribers to the French Loan. The first List of Roznacnun and Bao- THERS, is as follows: M. De ROTHSCHILD, brothers . 100,000 franca. De Vatry . . . 10,000 Textoris . . . . 8,000 Martin . . . . . 8,000 Lady Fitzgerald . . . 4,000 Count Orsini • • . 4,000 Morel . . . . . 2,000 Lemaine . . 2,000 Plevelle . . . . 8,000 Martini . . . . . 4,000 Didot . . . . . 4,000 Besides the above, there are several of one thousand franca. By letters received to-day, from a British officer of rank at Florence, it is mentioned that the English residents are under no apprehension of being obliged to quit the place, in consequence of the commotion. in Italy. Lodgings and provisions were remarkably cheap. We refer to the communication of our Falmouth Corres pondent, for some particulars relative to the recent proceed ings of Don MIGUEL. Other letters, which we have perused this day, state that our own countrymen are not ex- ect.pted from the tyrannical surveillance of this despot ; and, at the same time, the remonstrances of our Consul are utterly disregarded. On account of other outrages, we find that the French Consul, and the Merchants, were preparing to leave Lisbon. We have the A llgemeine Zeitung of the 6th instant this day. At the date of that Journal, the recent glorious vic tories obtained by the Poles were unknown. A communica tion from Vienna, of the 31st of March, states, with a great deal of complacency, " it is probable there will be a decisive battle near Warsaw, as soon as the Russians have crossed the Vistula !" This Paper characterises the eloquent Pro clamation of the aged General JERMOLOPF, which we pub lished three days ago, "as a manifest forgery." We can easily imagine the consternation which will ensue, when the brilliant successes of the Poles ate known. In other respects, these Papers are unimportant. We give the following extracts : PoLann.—The Austrian Observer says—" Letters from Warsaw mention the failure of the negotiations at the Russian head-quarters, on the 20th and 22nd ; after which a sitting of the Diet was held on the 29d, of which nothing had transpired ; only on the following morning it was reported, that all hope of an amicable arrangement appeared to be at an end. The Polish army was stationed as follows ; one third on the Vistula, above Warsaw; one third below, and the other third in the vicinity of the capital. Gen. Uminsky had left Warsaw, with 6or 8000 men, in the direction of Modlin. Accounts from Cracow of 27th say, that Julian Nicmciewits had arrived from Warsaw. He is said to have declared, that he had resolved, at his advanced age (79 years), to leave for ever . the theatre of the events which bad plunged his country into such great misfortunes, and to end his days in Cracow.* The Warsaw Goad& of 27th March gives, in a supplemeat, a se ditious Proclamation—which appears to be a manifest forgery--aaid to be addrerscd to the Russians by General Jennoleff, now 70 years of age. from Samarad (query ?) ; and to have been found on the person of a Rusuinn officer, wearing the order of St. Andrew, who was killed in a late battle. VIZNIIIA, Kaman 31.—Letters from Warsaw say, that the Go. veenment has declared that city in a state of siege. Divisions of light troops were distributed along the Vistula, to watch the move. meats of the Russians. It is probable that there will be a de, delve battle near Warsaw, as soon as the Russians hays crossed the Vistula! General Dwernecki, who was punned by three divisions of Russian cavalry, is reported to have extricated himself from this em barrassment by skilful marches, and has returned to the left bank of the Vistula. Count Wolinski, Chief of the Polish General's Staff, has left Vienna, and gone to Genteel Chlopicki, at Cracow. The Prussian General, Van Roder, who came here on an extraordinary mission, has bad his first audience of the Emperor, and will soon return to Berlin. Count Ribeaupierre, who arrived some time ago from Naples, will not yet leave us.—Allpemeine Zeitung, April 6. Musics, MARCH 31.—The Government deserves the warmest gratitude of the nation, for announcing the intention of submitting to the Chamber, a law which the proceedings of the Court of Justice are to declare to the public, and the pleadings to be oral, instead of an endless mass of syrinx's, hitherto required. This fact proves, that the Government is sincerely desirous of maintaining the Constitutional principles; and that, notwithstanding any mistaken grounds, it cannot entertain a design of purposely infringing the Constitutional rights of the people, or violating the Constitution.

London participates with Paris in general joy, at the glo rious and decisive success of the Poles over their barbarian invaders. One effect will be a new impulse to that shilling subscription, which we suggested a few days ago. We wonder that at so propitious a moment, we hear nothing of the Poles resident in London. We can add nothing to elucidate the clear and modest despatches of the brave and judicious Sx azysscst. He became the assailant, just before the enemy expected their reinforcements ; and when assured of their approach, they were least on their guard. His positions also separate the reinforcements from the Russian head quarters ; and the reinforcements, consisting chiefly of the Imperial Guards, must, if the country behind them permit, retrace their steps. Dx EBITSCH has no alter native, but to surrender the wreck of his army ; or, by forced marches, to reach Volhynia, before that province ' unites in the general insurrection. In truth, it will now be the fault, or folly, of the Poles, if the kingdom, or republic of Poland, is not restored to the territorial integrity which it possessed in 1772. Aided by France, the spoliation of the Royal Robbers of that day ought forthwith to be restored, and Poland recover its navi gation, both of the Baltic and the Euxine. The want of British subsidies would render freemen an overmatch for the despots who, in the late wars, derived their strength from the unprincipled mortgage of the property and industry of Britain. M ixlll‘ I, the place whence SKRZYNEcit dates his des patches, is about thirty or thirty-five miles from Praga ; and must not be confounded with a fortified city of that name in Lithuania, often mentioned in the campaign of NAPOLEON. Seidlec, to which the Russians have been pursued, is another thirty miles in the direction of Brezec. Lithuania—in size the Yorkshire of Poland—was sepa rated from Poland in SUWARROW'S invasion, in 1795; but Livonia, Courland, and Samogitia, so long since as 1773. The people are still Poles, and anxious to emancipate themselves from the overwhelming despo tism of Russia. The whole are equal in extent to Great Britain. —The provinces in the rear of the Russian army have unquestionably risen. Commercial letters from Memel, of the date of 30th March, state that the whole country has risen ; that the Russians had been in many instances murdered ; and that the rest had fled to Prussia ; and that, on the 29th March, up wards of one hundred reached Memel in the most miser able condition. One of the letters states that, on the fron tiers, about 15 miles from Memel, the Poles had risen in a body, and killed the Chief of the Police, and all the soldiers they could meet with,; and that the Cossack Guards had fled thither for protection. All this accords with our extracts yesterday from the German Papers. Natives of Courland in London, state, that the greatest discontent prevailed in the Baltic provinces of Russia. As DIEBITSCH will be obliged to call in his detachments from Lublin, &c. the corps of DMIIINICKI, which bas been at Zamosc, will again be in activity in Volbynia, and on the left of the Russians ; and, in fact, in a popular war, the great victories over %KUMAR and Roszw will arouse the whole country to arms and action. Some accoonts state that the Autocrat, dissatisfied with DIUSITICR, bad ap. pointed GEISMAR as his enects.:4 , if o , tk:( st:11;16t. and defeat of GarsitAß is the more fortunate. Altogether, the Russians appear, to have lost 20,000 men on the 31st March and Ist April, together, with the artillery, baggage, abd ammunition of two divisions of their army—results QUITE DECISIVE OP THEIR HOPES 10 POLAND. This eveningthe Parliament re-assembles, and will shortly resume the consideration of the most important subject that ever was submitted for its determination. After the senti ments of the entire people, with the exception of those interested, primarily or secondarily, in perpetuating corruption. have been so fully and unambiguousl) expressed, it is hardly possible, that the decision of the Senate, even as at present constituted, can be adverse to the Re form which his Majesty's Ministers have so nobly advocated; but should such an untoward perversion of sound judgment occur, to detract from the character of this country and age, we know there is a remedy, and that it will be boldly and promptly adopted. The situation of Ireland at the present moment, and we may say, the prosf ective state of England, if we venture to extend our view beyond the busy Spring and Summer months, must certainly render any unnecessary retardation, in the organization of a properly constituted Senate, of the most vital importance to the permanence of tranquillity, and the security of property. It is not possible, we fear, that even a new Parliament, constituted as we hope the first new Parliament will be, can remove, suddenly, the poverty which exists, and is daily increasing, among the humbler classes, both in this country and Ireland ; but the very existence of such an improved Parliament will repress impatience even under sufferance, by giving a cheering and remedial influence to the natural dictates of hope. A new Parliament, it cannot be concealed, however, is but the machinery which is to work out the future cure of our complicated political evils. If we were not to expect the measure of Reform, to work changes—to effecttransmu tation great and innumerable—we should deem it worthless. That it will produce these changes tranquilly—gradually and innoxiously to the general interests— we believe, and therefore we believe it, ' redolent of bliss"—a preventative to all revolution, the essence of which is violence. We are among those, who conceive that our evils are deeper seated, and proceeding from causes more completely pervad ing the circumstances of existing society, than to be removed by merely a removal of imposts, and the retrenchment of expenditure. These reforms are necessary and proper, along with others ; but it is to call into employment the un employed, to give life to dormant energies, and by rendering what a man earns secure, exclusively for his own enjoyment, that distress alone can be alleviated in this, or any other country. Another Conference of the Ministers of the Great Powers was held this afternoon, at the Foreign-Office. There were present, the same as yesterday, the Russian, Aus trian, French, and Netherlands Ambassadors ; the Prus sian Minister; the Baron de WEssEunvßO, Minister from Austria ; and Viscount PALMERSTON. CITY. ONE O'CLOCK. This being settling day in Consols, the brokers and job bers are chiefly occupied in arranging their accounts; and up to the present time, we do not hear of any defaulters, indeed most of the great speculators' accconts are already adjusted ; and it only remains at present for the little ones to come to book. The extreme fluctuation in the Account has been about 51 per cent. and by the drawback which still continues, of about i per cent. it is evident that it is a great Bear Ac count. Consols, which left off yesterday at 801 for the Account, opened at the same price this morning ; afterwards were done at 801 : at present they are 80 to 1. The official account of the successes of the Poles, is re ceived in the City with much pleasure. A Lisbon Mail has arrived ; sailed on the 3d April. We do not hear whether it has brought any news of importance. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. The French Papers by the Mail this morning have the following :—lt is said that Prince Leopold will not be King of 13clgium. France will oppose an English Prince, as well as England opposed a French Prince. The following is a letter from Marshal Jourdan, on his subscribing to the patriotic loan :—" Paris, 7tb April. Sir,—The subscription proposed in your number of the 6th, is eminently patriotic ; and it will have for its result not only the support of public credit, but also to prove to the foreign cabinets, that Frenchmen are freely rallying round the throne of their King, and are ready to sacrifice their lives and property to cause to be respected the honour and inde pendence of France.—Marshal Jounnatt." A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, of the 4th April, states that a courier arrived there on that day, with orders that all the Rhenish landwebr must be ready to take the field on the 16th inst. CITY, TWO:O'CLOCK. Consols are not so good as in the early part of the morn ing, when they were done at 80i ; since which they have receded to 80 ; at present they are 80b to i for money, and for next time 79i . The account as yet appears to go off well. We have no further political information at present. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. 1 The Coast Blockade Service is now generally dispersed' most of the officers have joined the Preventive or Coast Guard Service under the Custom House, and the best men have been drafted • into ships of war. The Talavera, in the Downs, and Hyperion, at Newhaven, will shortly be paid off, being no longer wanted as head quarters. General Thornton has postponed to the County day of the next Middlesex Sessions, the following two motions, viz : " That measures be taken without further delay to add ma chinery to the tread-wheels at the House of Correction, in order to apply them to some useful purpose. And that a re presentation be made to the Secretary of State for the Home Department on the great annoyance at present occasioned by common beggars, notwithstanding the propriety in general with which the duty of the new police is conducted." There is a little town in France, not very generally known, which cannot be visited without interest, when it be remembered that Demetrius, wbo descended from Trajan the Roman Emperor, spent a considerable part of his life there. This individual lived in the time of Voltaire, and was a Captain in the French army. No man who lived at that period could boast of so noble an origin, for he could reckon among his ancestors 26 Kings and 16 Emperors--six of Constantinople, 10 of Trebisond, and two of Hemline Points ; 16 Kings reigned at Colchis, and eight at Seq.— / 7 unit de Loredres. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Majesties arrived in town at half-put one o'clock yesterday afternoon, in a carriage and four, escorted b y it party of Lancers, from their Palace at Windsor The Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess So phia, visited the Queen. In the evening, the Princess Augusta entertain e d the King and Queen, the Landgravine of Hesse-Romberg., and a select party, to dinner, at her residence in St. James's Pa lace. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, with their suite, returned to Kensinqtoo Palace yesterday, from visits to Prince Leopold and the Earl of Liverpool. Prince Leopold returned to town on Saturday from his re sidence at Claremont. His Royal Highness entertained a select party at dinner on Sunday, at Marlborough House.— The Prince gave a grand dinner last evening to a numerous party of the nobility and gentry. The Duke and Duchess of Cumberland left town yester day morning for their residence at Kew. THEATRE& COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—The new opera was re peated on Saturday evening, for the third time, with increased success. Miss Inverarity has, by her exquisite singing. of Spohes music, established herself as a first.rate dramatic vocalist. The beautiful morcemu given to Ali (Pennon), with pirstiettio accompa niment, was rendered in a remarkable degree more clEctive, owing to the singers not attempting to he comic. The finale to the first act, taken front the Composer's Opera of Pause, is exceedingly charm. teristic, not unlike the Chorus of Spirits in WEIIhR . II Oberon; the manner in which the hags who shi; it disappear is extremely well ma naged. The author of ths dialogue is a gentleman of acknowledged literary acquirements, but lie thinks the drama too trifling to own It ;the words of the songs, &c. were written by Mr. W. Ball. We never recollect to have seen so many musical persons invent in the house, save on the first evening of °Gaon, as there were on Saturday night ; a great compli ment to die eminent talents of Spohr,learned whose elegant and sompositioe Sir George Smart ha s done ample justice, in adapting it for the English stage. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—After the play of Rob Roy, in which Discreetly was as admirable as usual, the farce ef Nekleseiri Haft was repeated on Saturday. The silly features, such as the stuffed figure and the two hobglobhins, were omitted, and some other alterations and erasures baring been made, the farce was rendered better, there was nevertheless some disapprobation manifested at the close. The Ice Witch was playsd with good effect, and gains favour by repetition. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

All is gaiety and happiness at the bridal of the hero and his beloved, when their bliss is dispelled by the awful sound of horn ! What sound could have been devised more astounding to the ears of the newly-made hus band ? In this particular, as in many others, M. Victor Hugo shows a profound knowledge of dramatic eject. A marriage, it is said, is likely to be solemnized very shortly, between the talented son of a popular actor, and tlu daughter of a foreign nobleman of great wealth, now a rest l ent in Tuscany. The lady is expected previously to visit England, accompanied by her venerable father. It is rumoured in the theatrical circles, that a once cele brated syren is at last about to bestow her band on a wealthy auctioneer. We venture to say that the latter never knocked down s better lot in his life. Miss Foote is the sixth actress that has been elevated to the Peerage by marriage. The first was Miss Fenton, the celebrated Polly, who was married by the Duke of Bolton; the second, Miss Farren, who become Countess of Derby ; the third, Miss Brunton, Countess of Craven ; tbefoortb, Miss Bolton, Baroness Thurlow ; the fifth, Miss Mellon, (Mrs. Coutts,) Duchess of St. Alban's ; the sixth, Miss Foote, Countess of Harrington. There will probably ere long be a seventh, by the marriage of Miss Love with Lord Harborough. Miss Foote, previous to her marriage, settled the fortune which she has realised by her profession upon her father and mother (who were both present at the cere mony), for their lives. The trial of the young men engaged in the conspiracy which exploded in December last in Paris, is not yet con cluded. It is probable that they will be acquitted. General Lafayette was examined in their behalf on Friday. The French ministry proceed with unflinching persever ance in their prosecution of the journals. The editor of the Quotidienne has been again condemned to a fine of 8,000 francs and an imprisonment of six months, for an alleged libel on the King. The severity of the sentence has pro duced a painful impression. Marshal Bourmont, who is at present in bad health, has left his house in Manchester -street, to visit the Duchess de Berri, at Bath. The Duchess has been especially invited by a noble duke, and others of the nobility, to spend a few weeks in London during the present season ; but we have not heard that her Royal Highness has accepted the invitation.— Moraing Paper.
