and to corrupt the Morals of the people. • But on the fiat of October, 1640, by one of the best con ducted Revolutions ever recorded in the history of nations, the dominion of Spain was annulled, and John, Duke of Braganza, proclaimed king of Por tugal. England was one of the first and firmest allies of the new King, and through her aid, and the assistance of France and Holland, he soon found him. self fully established on the throne of his ancestors.— The Duke of Braganza was the grandson of Cathe rine, youngest daughter of Edward, brother to John the Third, and • Henry the Cardinal, who married John, Duke of Braganza, the fifth in descent from Alphonso, the first Duke, a natural son of King Jahn the First. He was, therefore, the legal and re-. filar heir to the Crown, failing the line of Louis, Doke of Beja, which ended in 1666. The Inquisi i ion, which had been smuggled into Portugal by an adventurer in the fourteenth century, had taken deep root and assumed great power, so as to be able to controul the actions of both Prince and peasant. The first act of the Holy 0./fire was to expel the rich Jews from the kingdom. This gave a blow to the com merce of Portugal which she has never yet been able ro recover. Besides, for many ages, the Court and the country was much more eager to detect and de oy a concealed heretic, than to support the honour cf the nation ; and, down to a very late period, an fe was an object of greater interest than any thing that concerned the welfare •of the people, John the Fourth, during his reign of sixteen years, restored the kingdom to something of its former splendour; but leaving his son a minor—a Prince, too, of a weak mind and debilitated body, the tool flatterers and parasites—the Spaniards again tried to get possession of the kingdom. The nation was lovulred in a cruel and protracted war, and only saved frora ruin by the assistance of an English army, and the appoilanient of Don Pedro, the King's bro ther, as Regent. Charles the Second, who was uncle to the King and Regent, by his marriage with Ca therine, the daughter of John interposed his Powerful influence, and at last effected a peace. This peace, which lasted for thirty years, was very inks lions to the militiry glory of Portugal, and added bnt little to her internal power. Thewar of the Sac ceision drained her of her wealth, and it was not till after the peace of Utrecht that she began to recover from the effects of the Spanish usurpation. In 1750. Joseph the First, a man of commanding powers and inordinate ambition, began to reign.— Ms object, from the first, was to raise the kingly r Lice above all controul, and his views being seconded by an able and active Minister, he soon became, in every sense of the word, an absolute monarch. The Marquis of Pombal, with all his desire to raise the kingdom to its proper rank in the scale of nations, wit' his great zeal to impror her agriculture and commerce. was equally zealous, under the sanction cf law, to derive the people of their just rights, and to reduce them, as he actually did, to a nation of slaves. Ile had the boldness to procure a law by %%Lich the assembling of any general Cones was dis rensed with in future, and the will of the King de c:died absolute and supreme, and in no manner to be called in question. So far did he carry his tyran tiical measures, that not only the orders signed by his Majesty, but any command in the name of the King, and signed by Isis Minister, was held to have t::e effect of a law. Thus, what'were called Porlarca's and .4viso's, superseded the laws and changed the n!.ole Constitution of the Portuguese Monarchy.-- U— der such a King is Joseph, and such a Minister as Pombal, the evils resulting from such measures sni v t have been for a time concealed or endured, but e fiction which succeeded in removing Pombal from his high station, though ready to avail them- i wires of Lie unwarrantable power, which, as King's rtlit.ester, he had assumed and made legal, wanted . tLe abilities to render their execution either safe or salutary. They found the Treasury full from the regularity with which he had collected, and the fru gality with which he bad administered, the national revenues; this they soon emptied by building churches and convents, and, at the succession of her late Ma jesty, a reign of superstition and bigotry commenced that would have disgraced the annals of any Court of the middle ages. It was fortunate for Portugal , that this ignorance and superstition was, in a great measure, confined to the Court and the Holy fece.l The nation had made great progress in refinement, and possessed men capable of holding the first rank' in every department of literature and science. But it was not till his present Majesty took the Govern-1 silent into his own hands that any effort was made tothroyr off the nightmare of Monkish; tyranny which bad so long oppressed them—still, as Regent, the Prince found himself surrounded by a cordon of Ministers wedded to the old system, beyond which his influence could not penetrate, and warned, too, by the result of the French Revolution, the time was not propitious for the commencement of a reformation—old abuses were, therefore, continued and confirmed. In my neat I shall enter upon the state of Por tugal at the commencement of the present century, and I remain, Sir, your's respectfully, A BRITON.

" On the receipt of the order I applied, through the proper official channel. for communication of the motives which had de (ermined the French Government to adopt the measure. No written answer could be obtained, but I received a verbal as surance, s That the measure was Rot accusatory, but one which was rendered necessary in my own interest, as well as that of the French Government,.by my political position, which nude me in spite of myself (emigre mot) a foyer or rallying point- for the op ponents of the French Government to gather round, and under the shelter of it to circulate their opinions.' " I shall, Gentlemen, only remark upon this declaration, which I have given as accurately as memory could serve, that if the temporary residence of an individual in France, violating no law, but possessing the most honourable friendships, and a dis tinguished portion of public favour, for his proved abhorrence of vindictive systems of Government, and undisguised attach ment to the rights and liberties of independent nations, be in compatible with the safety or repose of the existing French Go vernment, it is not, and I triad I may say it without presump tion, for you to feel humiliation on finding that your Represen tative is the individual so proscribed.

We have received the following letter from a Gentle man whose address is known to us— ( Morn. Chron.) " October 23, 1822. .- - - " MY DZAR Famons—l deem it requisite to make a commu nication to you, on the instant, relative to an occurrence in which I was concerned, and I shall proceed, without further pretarx, to enter on the subject of it. " Yesterday I met Major-General Sir HODSON Low: in Pad dington-green, as he was about to enter a hackney-coach, when an altercation ensued, during which I struck him across the shoulders with a horsewhip which I held in my band. " I laving thus coastised him instantly presented my card, but he thought In to throw it away, without deigning to read it. Upon this I tendered him a second (ultimo, and afterwards a third, ad of winch he in like manner threw away. His servant maid, however, who had by this time come out of the house, picked up my cards, and carried them into his residence, when the hackney-coacti drove off, and I proceeded on my way. • " Few persons but myself and my father are fully acquainted with the cruel provocations which I have received from this man. During our detention at St. Helena, we were arrested in the most brutal manner, and subsequently kept in close confine ment during one month, au aunt, and treated precisely like cri minals. What still more tended to augment this cruelty, was my be.lth being at that period in a very precarious state, from the effects produced by a tropical climate upon a constitution na turally weak. This was represented to Sir Hansom Lowe by the physicians, who explicitly made known to him, that it was essentially necessary to the recovery of my health, that I should be allowed to return to Europe, that I might receive the benefit of my natal air. Such a measure, however, would have been in direct opposition to toe secrecy in which he was desirous of et.- veloping all his proceedings on the island. He demanded of Mr. B. O'MEARA an official report upon the state of my health. " Mr. O'Mzaaa, who uniformly conducted himself towards every one of us as became a man of honour and humanity, de livered in to Sir HUDSON Lowe a report, which was dictated by his conscience ; but the Governor proved deaf to every repre sentation of feeling and of truth, and my father and myself were ordered off to the Cape of Good Hope, where we were detained as prisoners for seven months, owing to the instructions forwarded by Sir HUDSON Lowe. This captivity, coupled with a separation ,from his family and his country; the mental anguish that suc ceeded, the weak state of health, And the age of my father, have been the fatal sources of those infirmities under which he now labours, and which will continue to bear him down to his grave. After our departure from St. Helena, Sir Hansom Lowe proceeded to employ those means with which he is so conver sant to blacken my father's character and repder him an object of suspicion to liarot.roo and the French Officen on the island. Among other things, be stated to General BER TRAND th a t Co u nt Lis Cases had conf essed that himself and all the other attend ants upon Naroxsox had exerted every endeavour to ruin him (Sir Hunsoll Lowe) in the opinion of his captive, by seeking to make him regard the person and the action. of Sir HUDSON Lowe through a veil of blood.' When speaking of my father, after his departure, I have been informed, and believe that he not unfrequently coupled with his name, the epithets of that d—d rascal, that d—d lying old rascal, Count Las Cases,' &c. Iris not impossible for a man of honour to speak disrespectfully of another, but in such cases he uniformly pronounces his opinion to his face, and never during his absence. To continue such nauseous details, of which I could extend the catalogue, onl inftnitunc would prove as disgusting to you as they are truly painful to my mind, and I do not hesitate to avow, that the sole object of my visit to England was to compel Sir Winos, Lows to afford me satisfaction for the wrongs which I have thus sketched; and being convinced by resection upon his previous conduct and character, that he would have recourse to legal proceedings if I sent him a challenge, I determined to put upon him the greatest public insult that could be offered to a Gentleman, conceiving that that only could procure for me the satisfaction I so eagerly desired. - - " I shall terminate the present statement by remarking, that a son who vindicates the cause of an aged, sick, and honoured father, only fulfils a most sacred duty imposed upon him, and in so acting purities the path of honour and of rectitude. " I am, dear Sir, your 's most sincerely, Ste. (Signed) " LE BARON EMM. DE LAS CASES. " P.S. Soon after the occurrence took place, I wrote to Sir Mimi Lowe to inform him that, if he would give his word to act like a man of honour, I should always be ready to an swer to him." A Coroner's Inquest was held last night at the Sun Tavern, Grosvenor-place, Pimlico, on the body of Michael Flood. It appeared from the evidence, that I , the deceased was a Chelsea pensioner. On Sunday' fortnight he was seen walking through the High- street, Btentford, when he was met by another pen ' - sioner named White, and beat in a most brutal man ner. The deceased was taken to St. George's Hos pital, where he died of the injuries he had received. The deceased was an infirm man of about fifty, the other was a young and powerful man. Immediately after the assault, the deceased charged him with it before a Magistrate, but at his own desire it was com promised by the defendant paying ten shilling. The deceased's injuries did not seem so serious then as they since turned out to be. The assailant's name was Timothy White. He was dressed like a vagrant, aud.had but one arm. Nothing transpired to spew that there had been any pre-existing between him and the dew:ed.—Me Jury found a verdict°, Wilful Murder" against Tim* Whfte, a one armed out-pensioner of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea.
