' ll'skittish; corning from Lisbon - we have reCeivA the JotutiaktUf that Capital Hs ;else 28th ult. They contain no notice of any farther arrivals from Bahia, irtd are chiefly occupied with an account of the investiture of the King of Portugal with the i nsignis of the Order of the Garter. The time miected for conferring this honor, and the eircurnstancin'erlth which it einrot fail to be aniciateil ii the mind, muiteccaslon the detail of the ceremonial to' be . noticed with more than ordinary interest. The Gazette, commencing the account by extolling the ' antiquity and nobility of the Order, and adverting to the illustrious Kings of Portugal on whom it had in distant ll 1 ages been conferred, proceeds to state' that from the time of the unconquered monarch, Don Manuel, the. happy Founder of the greatness of Portugal, it has been reserved for the present age, fruit/id in so many prodigies, to lee an illustrious British Monarch, the Most August, ■nd Most Puissant George IV. renew the example of some' of his Ancestors, ,by conferring , this most Noble Order on our August Sovereign the Model of Monarchs, in love of his people, and of justice, and superior by MO great ness of Soul, in all the vicissitudes which have marked the epoch of his Keign—a Monirth who' giintthe veneration of al the Sovereigns of Europe; by his virtues, and who, 4." • ...... in the late events of this Monarchy, showed tiith what prudence he knew how to wait for the fiivorable opportunity to restore to the Throne its splendor, to Religion Its dig ally, and to his people true liberty. ' His Majesty having been informed of Ida nomination by the King of Great liritain,the state of restraint in which he was placed. did sot permit of his being invested in the pro- per manner ; but being at length free, His Britannic Ma• jesiy immediately hastened to send him the proper Insignia —a sufficient proof of the disapprobation of the Factious Government by the British Cabinet. ' The 23d of this month being chosen by the King our Sovereign for this august solemnity, the plenipotentiaries appointed for the ceremony by his Majesty, were conduct ed, at two o'clock, to the Royal Pelee' of Mullis; they were his Excellency the With)) Ambassador Sir Edward Thornton, Knight, Grand Cross of the most illustrious order of the Bath, Privy Councellor of his Britannic Majesty; and Sir George Naylor, Garter King at Arms, and Knight of the Royal Order of the Guelphs of Kano• ver ; who, nith the Heralds and other persons of the legation, were in coaches belonging to the Royal House hold; after which followed the splendid equipages of the British' Ambassador, and other foreign Ministers and per, sons of distinction, forming a magnificent suite. After stating the preparations made by the King and Royal Family fur the reception of the embassy, and the splendid mariner in which it was introduced, the ac count details the particulars of the procession and cere manial in the Palace, and gives the following as the speech in which the British Ambassador addressed his Majesty : " Sine !—Our august Monarch has confided to as the ho namable mission to invest your Majesty with the insignia and decorations of the most Noble Order of the-Garter; thus offering to your Majesty the greatest proof which his Majesty can give of his esteem and affection for your Majesty's person and the most splendid testimony of the value which his Majesty attaches to the • intimate alliance and friendship which have united the two nations for many ages. " Founded by one of the greatest Monarchs that have', reigned in England,and done honor to Christendoro,the annals of this celebrated Order include all that Is most illustrious by merit or birth, most elevated by heroic virtues snd most as tonishing by the great events which characterise the present age, or which impress their immortal stamp on all ages. " What shall I say of that magnanimous Prince, the Son of the founder surnamed the Bluth, renowned for so many heroic deeds, and his truly chivalrous generosity; of that Duke of Lancaster, connected by so many recollections with the history of Portugal, and with its Royal House, by the ties of blood; of the Kings, your Majesty's predecessors, who received the Insignia of the Order, and principally of the Great King, D. Meouel, whose golden age was immortalized by that vast discovery, which opened the way to the conquest of the Nast, and which in the sequel caused to rise from obscurity, end if I may say so, from the bosom of the ocean, that New World, whose riches and productions gave to Christian Europe the form and character which it now wears. " Sire !—This Noble Order does not less boast of having reckoned in its list several Kings, the models of all pacific virtues, the benefactors of their age and models for posterity. The having been the father of your people. having borne every sacrifice for their good, having preserved, during a long ab settee, and in the midst of political storms, an unchanged erection. these ere the titles which the Order of the Garter de sires to possess as its own—these are the !titles which, giving a new compenion to the list of so essay soyerrigas sad illus trious men gives additional lustre to the .ancient splendor of • tbe drtiar. " Sire I—l venture to express at your Silkijelleriffeet the sa- , tlsfactlon and pride which I feel at the choice'fikteli his Majesty the; Xing has deigned to make of me, to be the orgsn of .141 sentiments, and the performer of his commands." Ills Majesty replied in the following terms r--• tiir,--,Tbeirmignia which you are commissioned to present to me fruip his kiritaunlc Majesty must be valuable to me, for . ' more titan Olie'ivesoe. 1 eonsker them above all as a public testimony of the inalterable friendship which has 'existed for; ages between our two kingdoms, and which has been lately co•flrmed by the memorable events which are indelibly en graven iu tlie annals of both nations. . ' pisiituted by one of the King.' who hay* done most honor to the throne of England, the Order of the Garter was, from its oriain, received by some of my illustrious ancestors as a pledge of fraternity iu arms, and my be considered as • presage of . _ that union which has acquired so mach strength. "The whole world will perceive in the solemn mission which your august sovereign semis me, an evident proof of the esteem he feels for me, and of the knowledge which he has of the sentiments 1 hear him. " Re you. therefore. Sir, the organ of these sentiments be fore his Britannic Majesty. and thank him in my Same fpr the choice Ito has made of Plenipotentiaries for this honourable mission." His Majesty declaring that he accepted the Order with the usual restrictions, the plenipotentiaries proceeded to invest him with the various insignia according to the customary forms. When the ceremony w i,onclufled, they retired with the same ceremonies as they eame. • ' The Castle of St. Heorge, the ships of war in the harbour, fired Royal salutes, at the termination of the cere mony. His Majesty bad ordered is apleodid repast to be prepared in honor of the Ambassador, and other persons, charged by the British Monarch with the' solema investiture, in the Palace des Necessidades which his Ma' jesty's Minister's, the diplomatic body, and other persons of distinction were invited—ln the evening the English Ship Revenge, which was haaidsomety illuminated, fired salutes; 1 which were answered bj!►' the Don Johh VI. The Resi dence of the British Ambassador and the quarter of the City adjacent were fihely illunsinatcd. ". .1 , . A Mail from Holland this morning has bre,* Dutch papers of the tia inst. It appears from an artltili dated Wishaden, that a brisk correspondence is kept op between the Cabinets of Berlin and Vicuna, which. occasions much speculation. Some persons, it is said, think that the &abject is the opening of the diet at Frankfort; others that it re lates to the inter►iew of the two Emperors at which the presence of the King of Prussia has nut been judged ne cessary ; others again think that the Prussian Cabinet has ben actually pined by England, and being thus in the interests debit Goverment, the King of Prussia , could ant be admitted to the discussion of projects, the cc seqoence of which might be injurious to the interests Grrat Britain. By a recent arrival from Bemis we learn that the Gs vernor was going to appoint canvoys for vessels on ti t coast of Java, in eonaervience of a Dutch ship having be ta atta' ked and damaged by the Pirates. The Volcano g Mer Apia has began again to send forth lava The state of Cadiz is still enveloped in much mystery.-.- Whether the Cortes mein to retain it for their own security until they can embark fur some other country ; or whea t : they will put themselves under the protection of Me French army, is left to conjecture. Their conduct, at the crisis of their fate, has not been such as we expected it would be ; and we are therefore less solicitous about them, than we are respecting the fate of the gallant Riego, and the unconquerable Mina. Such men command esteem under all circumstances ; and it is much to be re gretted that any should embark M a cause, to which thew do not devote themselves entirely. Those who have not resolution to proceed, ought to have more prudence than to commence such operations. There are untoward cireus,. stances that attend every cause; but these should be cako• lated upon ; and when the sword is drawn against any existing institottons, the scabbard ought to be thrown away Such submissions make revolutions mere playthings; the momentary reroltsof children at school, which only wait the appeasance of the master to subside in silence. There hat been great want of that commanding energy among tht e ortek w hi c h could alone :lave enlisted a nation in the com• moncause. The affectation of leaving the sceptre in the hands of Ferdinand, was a mischievous moderation. The reply is the threat of invasion on the part of the French should have been, the declaration that the King's life should hart been the forfeit of any foreign imerference to restore his des potic power. Such - measures would have put to the test the fidelity of the existing authorities ; and all the toms. spent treasons and desertious would hare been avoided, Considerable exultation is manifested in the Ministerial papers, at the inceease of the Revenue, during the laic quarter, as compared with the corresponding quarter of tt last year. It is all of course, attributed to the " Collective Wisdom" of ti e nation, and the astonishing financial abi lities of Mr. Robinson, Mr. Husk isson, and their doer assistants. It does not appear, however, that they hare any great merit in the matter, on the !then ing even of their friends. The great increase is said to be in the Custonu ; which are expected to exhibit an excess of four hundred thousand pounds and upwards. In the same breath, ere are informed the surplus of the quarter will exceed three hundred thousand pounds. There has then been a decrease in some other items ; and we find it in the assessed takes; a tolerably good proof that the internal prosperity of the country has not been mending. The encrease in the Customs may be easily accounted for by the encrease of our commerce with the South Americas States; and a wise policy on the part of the Ministry might have doubled the encrease on this head. A new cued. neat was opened as a market to our adventurers ; and had the Government interfered properly, and given the neces. sary guarantees to the security of the intercourse, an sate. Dishing @acreage of our export trade would have been the result. Much has been done already by • the enter- pries of individoals; but nothing to what would base been effected, unties the auspices of a Ministry Which .had not suffered its prejudices against principles is interfere with its official. duties. For this encrease ,the Ministers can take no credit whatever. It stands es tirely indepeqdrat of their policy ; .and is, indeed, opposed to it. The reduction in the prices of provisions, and of almost every thing either directly or indirectly affected by taxation, will account fur a considerable advance is the Revenue, by enabling numbers to become consumers to a greater extent :—and when all the circumstances are takes into the account, it will neither be surprising that the Revenue should nominally encrease'; nor will the rocrease be any proof of an amendment in the condition of theme try. The ministerial scribes betray the falsehood of their views of the 'abject by laying all' their brilliant prospects to the determination of the Ministry to remain neutral and one of them exclaims, " how different the prospect would have been, had the country embarked in any war."— Our financial system is therefore only a peace system. It will not bear extending to any other state than one of sowed repose; and whenever we shall be called upon for exertion, we shall he utterly unable to make it. There is some truth in this; but they keep the cause out of view. If the country had beets really 'relieved from the burthen of taxation—if in actual reduction bad taken place to a considerable amount, the country would have been gradually recovering itself, and would grow into a ea. pacity of supporting fresh sacrifices when it should be necestary to make them. lint upon this point we are at issue with the ministerial writers. We ael• suit that taxation has been shifted, in pert ?, from the shoulders of one portion of society ; bat it has been put it heavily on those of another portion. (We admit also . that taxation has been reduced in its nominal rate : —, that figures nitrite value are requisite to express the Am upon paper ; but the :cal pressure of taxation is to be looked •for, in the amount of the produce of Coe soil, and the sun of manual labour, which a Goverment requires ; and in this sense, we arebold to say that the taxation has not bees reduced to any sensible 'amount. The revenue now collected by the system will purchase as much produce of all descriptions, as the highest taxation of the war. The Government, and the caterpillars of State, contutne,at mach produce as ever they did, and while they Wiliam: to do this, the country tan :meet recover itself, so faros to bear new impositions. Had the war taxatioti of setenty paihicins been continued now, the .11iniaters would have told us that seventy millions at one period, were no more than seventy millions at another; but the seventy millions now would have been more than equal to a hundred ailliew s at the lime when the seventy were raised ; and though see have reduced the seventy is - a fit) re trj frc of th Ti Wi aM tail abi Sat R 4.1 an mi 11( All
