This has animated me with new rotes to destroy thin moat perfidious cabal, which Iles been supported by the authorities employed to rcpt.:is it. Portuguese do Justice to your Infant Don employed the Commander-in-Chief of the lh,rta gorse army—recognising his language to be pure, and proceeding from virtue. You have sufficient proofs of my singleness of mind, and the candour of my royal heart. The events which occurred at the re-establishment of the throne and the overthrow of the arbi trot y Conn. are irrefragable proofs of the good faith with which I address you ; and if my royal word is not a sufficient pledge to itiminatni rim belief, I invoke the God of Alphonse ; and be fore that Ood I swear, with all my royal heart, that my views are not ninbitious—that my royal desire It only to summit the road of !irtue ; to save the King. the Royal Fa mily, and the nation, and to support the holy religion of our ancestors ! For such just ends, in spite of all the sacrifices that might be required, I engage to establish the necessary means, as those which have hitherto been adopted have nut produced the desired effect. This is a truth which in a few winds I can prove to you. You see around you the freedom which the masonic. clubs copy, where they treat of the destiny of the King, the Royal Family. and the nation, while no measures are taken to abate the spreading fire, You see that the laws, an object of the fast necessity, are not enacted as they ought ; you see that the administration of justice, on which depends the public security, is in the last stage of decay ; you see that the criminal commission, established to punish the enemies of royalty, of the altar, and of the nation, have left those enetultw unpunished ; you no that the finances are in the last state of exhaustion, the monopoly of royal contracts being inemased ; you see commerce in unguish, agriculture neglectitl, by want of means in the overburdened and impoverished cultivator ; you see arts and manufactures without activity ; anti finally, the loss of the precious possession o f B razil, w.tii the absolute shardonment of the means necessary for its resto ration : not that thc Portuguese who exist on the earth are not tie ,ecnilants of those heroes who gained the conquest ; and it is only since parties hive been increased, and a thousand misfortunes, that there comes to the light of day the perlitliims plan of forced expe eitien In our masonic clubs, not for the purpose of turning the in- I habitants of the, vast towtion of the globe to their former obedience, but to consummate the work of their complete separation ; thus opening the door to a new re-action, whrl' may be the crowning 'one of our misfortuues. And in the midst of this terrible situa tion, what remains for us, It Portuguese P Either to perish in the glorious struggle in which we are engaged, or to cut up by tile roots the evils which oppose us, destroying at once the inferoal race of Freemasons, before they destroy us. Thus let it be. Portuguese I The road of honour is open before us: to follow it is virtue—to wander retail it Is to fall into infamy. Your Infante Dim Miguel, followed by the imniortal Portuguese army, will never sheath his sword till he has placed you in security. Trust in um, who mu convinced of your loyalty.

" Palace of ltemposta, April 3e, 1824." node by the resident iiihibitants for $ Goveinor, but the roer. chants, ship-owners, and inhabit/ult. of Totness, Plymouth, and Dartmouth, petitioned the Pricy Council against such an appointment, stating it would be injurious to the fishery. In 1b74 and 1675, further application was riled: for the same pur pose, and referred to the Lords of Trade, who, after hearing toe' arguments for and " against the settlement, decided spinet the appointment of a Governor, and recommended that all plantations in Newfoundland should be discouraged, that the commanders Of the convoys should be directed to oblige the inhabitants to depart ; from the island, as, by the Western Charter, no plaotet was allowed to inhabit within six miles of the shore." The report of their Lordship , ' was approved of by his Naomi', and ow, den were given to carry into effketual execution what mot then recommended. Ueda the eettetion of this authority, thet most wanton acts of idolises 'ware committed, the bowies of. the inhebitante were burnt and destroyed, and every other violent means resorted to to force them front the country. About this time the system of rapine and plunder was carried to such an excess, that Sir John Beery, the commander of the coo. Soy, represented it in its true colours to (lovernment, and strongly recommended the policy of colonization. The advice of Sir John Derry, supported as It was by wisdom and humanity, was not at tended to. In 1676, one John Downing, a resident inhabitant of Newfoundland, petitioned the King wins' the perpetrators of these excesses ; when his Majesty was pleased to direct, that the in habitants should not be ntolested in their persons or pr•perty, and that part of the western charter, whereby no person was permitted to settle within six miles of the shore, was rescinded. From this period to the passing of the Act of ho and II William and Mary, the his tory of Newfoundland exhibits one continued struggle between: the resident inhabitants and the adventurers, the former smarting under' the most intolerable yoke, and the influence of the latter at the seat of Govrrilinent connteracting all the effects of their com plaints. The passing of this Act formed a new era in Its history ; preritntsly the Government of Newfoundland exhibited a scene of anarchy and injustice. It was ruled by a set of needy unprincipled adventurers, uncontrolled by any law,who poeticised absolute power in their own persons, and exercised it wit more than eastern des potism. Not even the unuffenling native Indians escaped their re kutless cruelty ; they were hunted down like wild beasts, and de stroyed without remorse or the fear of punishment. It might have been expected that when the state of Newfound land was taken into consideration by the enlightened l'arliament of 1 William and Mary, some sympathy would he felt for the un happy people of titat country ; but instead of having amends made to them for such a long period of suffering and misrule, nearly the I whole of the aid system was embodied in this Act of Parliament, which was founded on the barbarous pulley that had in long pre vailed. It pletely established the ascendancy of the wiven tutees, who had now an opportunity, in a more legslises! ferni and with the cruel mockery of justice, to exercise to their hearts' content their ruthless tyranny. 'The persons resits! with authority under this Act bore the high-sounding titles of .4ilmirals, Vice-Admirals, and llear-Admirals; the master of the first fishing vessel that ar rived was Admiral, the second Vice, and the third Rear-Admiral, is their respective harbours. To such men were entrusted the Go vernment of the country and the administration of justice. I shall not detain your Lordship with a disgusting detail of their proceed ings : suffice it to say that not one in ten of these Governors amid Judges could write their own names. In 1729 a Governor was appointed by his Majesty.

On the debate on Mr.l7 ,..,77n0t ion fut an inquiry into' the Church Establishment of leviand, Mr. Eqbettson, the Member for Gratnponnil, suggested the possibility of a union between the Catholic Church and the Church of England, observing.

Death takes t he . grest and the talented a, well as the brave, and the world had but just heard the lament for one of its brightest characters.

[Continued from The British Press of Monday, May 51 We have already said, that although we object to the Combination Laws, as partial in their operation, as well as! subversive of their object, we still think that efficient re gulations should be made to protect the masters from a sud den desertion on the part of their men, who, if they are working on a contract entered into by their employers, should not be permitted to quit his service till it is finished, and he is enabled to fulfil his engagements ; nor indeed should he be at liberty to quit it under any circumstances without a sufficient previous notice. Proceeding through this Re port, we find no example in any other trade of the ferocious and refractory spirit exhibited by the sawyers at Liverpool. In the examination of BENJANIv Tay too R, a frame-work knitter, at Nottingham, the several combinations entered into by that class of persons, of which the witness was one, to raise their wages, are detailed with great candour, but they were accompanied with no outrage ; they consisted in deserting their work at a rate of wages which was so low as to be inadequate to their maintenance. Sympathy is the predominant feeling excited by the condition of this class of artisans, as detailed in this evidence. When we come to the manufacturers of Ireland, both the testimony of the witnesses, and the mode of proceeding, is in character with the eccentric habits and disposition of the natives, ' mixed up at the same time with great decision and firm ness of purpose. We extract the following as an example: Jeremiah Houghton, Esquire, called in ; and examine". In what line of business arc you ?—A woollen manufacturer. Where is your manufactory f.--Celbridge, in the county of Kil dare. Do you employ mane workmen ?—A considerable number. Have you had any difference between your men and you, respect ing wages ?-1 have repintedly. What have been the grounds of that difference ; has it been an attempt, on your part, to lower wages ?—An attempt on my part, in the first instance, to lower wagvol, and their IC3iStaIICA! ; it was in the year 1813. Do you recollect how long that rate of wages, you wialved to lower from, had been continued ?—Probably eight or ten years ; it was about one-halfpenny per yard in the weaving, that is, from three. pence-halfpenny to threepence. How long had you paid threepence-halfpenny ?—For eight or ten yearn. Do you speak of any particular kind of cloth ?—Yes ; bloom coat ls mga.• the same kind of cloth made in any part of England ?—There is the name description of cloth manufactured in this country. 1)o you Know what wages are paid here it—Their wages vary from twopence-halfpenny to threepence. Are the Chnimittee to understand you pay higher wages generally in your manufactory for your goods, than are paid in Engbind for the some kind ?—We do. To what do you attribute that ?-1 attribute it entirely to the system of combination which exists. Are provisions cheaper in your neighbourhood than in England ? /a grmeral I liey are cheaper ; but at tunes, when large simultaneous importations take ulace from different ports in Leland, to Liver pool for instance, the markets are so glutted that prmisiose are chrtque is Liverpool, lifanchester, and eves in Yorkshire, than they are with as; for what creates an abundance on this side is ab stracted from the other, and of course a rise takes place on our side when a fall occurs here. What do yon mean by prices having been raised by combinaties; what combination do you allude to?—The combination amongst the operative hands. Have they clubs or unions far that purpose ?—Tea, to support those aho are on the turn-out, as they term it, or those who ate resisting the attempts of their masters to bring down the testes of wages ; for instance. Mr. Winans, who has just now been examined, had his hands off two or three months ; during whichw period, if I am correctly informed, my people smut them *Ad. n cven 401. per week. Did you pay the same rate of wages for the stone articles as Mr. Winans ?-1 - believe much the sante. Are we to understand, that the woollen trade do not strike as a trade, but only men of particular masters ?—I believe the men of all the masters who rousted the combination were in the same strike. When Mr. Willans's men struck why did not yours strike ? The reason is ohcious; it would not have suited the purposes of bath to have 'Knock at the same time, breasts it was neerrsory i Mee shoed evut ribite to the support of those mho sere so n/re/4a. You haye said, your !nen did strike in IOU: hied Ind the it. nit of that ?-4 resisted with a full determination to mar my factory to steed altateether, than to give way ta their client t they remained out about etx Una,. During this puled, every. Was made on the part of those who tuned out, to prevent tbs= were weledieposeil from working. I believe the ramie of then were not inclined to turn out, but the majority were deterndned not to suffer ant person, no matter whether mason or bricklayer, or smith, or any other am*, which I carry on within myself, to work or repair the factory. I might have gone on repairing my factory while it was suueling combination, but they Would not suffer any millwright or meelumc of any description to work; if they attempt, dto repair, fhiy met with insult.

I told them, that f eertukty mist insist inn any thing I cotereived to be right ; then they begged I would put what I said 0700 paper, and they would lay it before the body. I did so, and they leek is up to the body, and there was artery stonny discussion snit ; they mold be heard a mile of, they were :wing tofight.

They went to Shaw, and feud the note I had written„ldesiring that the boy might wet be employed in that particular branch ; they asse• and 'expressed tbeb pea. 1 tide, rid thr glair ended there. Are those two differences the only two that hen taken plisse be tween you and your workmen P—Yea, ef any Went. .-- Ilibeploresebstbasiesseeellei udikeemmumemetwat le dits.C.embi. nation Laws ?—Certainly. What ix tour opinion of the erect of the Combhwition laws ? I consider them as quite inoperative, exeept so tar as they relate w the regulation of the wort. What do you mean by the regulation of the work 9—For in. stance, if 1 have a journeyman weaving a mere of cloth, ;went, s when he hits got half-way through that piece, he may turn out to , drink : and if I scold him excessively, he may take it into has head to run away; then, under the existing law, I should immediately put that man in Neweate. Is that by the Combination I.w, or by any other Act ?—I do not know ; I have not read the Combination Laws. If you had the power of c impelling your men to finish any con tract, or any work they had begun, do you conceive that that is ample power to you, to enable you to carry on your work ? I do. It will be desirable that that power should be summary?.— Certainly. I/o you see any evils likely to arise fmm the total repeal of the Combination laws, as they are called, in Ireland, if a summary power of enforcing the completion of contracts is left ?-2:o far as I understand them I do nut; I contrite they are totally M ary-I/tilt. Have you any oproetunity of Fisting how the combinations of one class of workmen operate against another, in peeventing them from working, unleia at particular rates ?—There is in Ireland what is called an Union of Teaks ; and it is the practice of the trades, 1 believe, generally to support those trades that aro out of employ ment. For instance, I have no doubt but the last witness, lir. N'illans, would state that his own hail received a very considerable sum front the pitper manufeeturers. I know it to be a fact, that they did receive a considerable sum, I believe a hundred pounds at once, from the paper makers in Liability Is it usual when ore trade strike*, to receive assistance from other trade*. to maintain them it—l have reason to believe it is. Do you consider that there combinations of the men have any effect in keeping wages higher thau they otherwise would be ? No doubt. Do you not consider that wages would rise and fall, according ro the state in which the trade was 7—No ; it is no matter how lade work you lave...they will have their wages in either case. You are alluding to the present notes?—Yes. have you not stated, that you have yourself succeeded in rethia. log the wages ?—Duly for a temporary purpose, about two months ; further I did not attempt it. Do you not conceive, if masters and men were left at perfect freedom to make what bargain they pleased, as to the rate of wages and hours of working, that in conr.e of time they would find their level 7 Fes; is torero , of time it is natera to suppose the free( oe` eircientstoriees would regmbile the 'natter. An employee would date reason with himself: •• I cannot *find to pay mime wages than a err. min sum ; if I give more I come to the market undo disadvantages which Must be ruinous to inyaelt." You have stated, that you consider the Combination Laws te have been altogether inoperative?—Precisely so. Then they can have no effect upon the rate of wages IP—I do not conceive they can. Is not the rate of wages to neantifhetnrers in Ireland, genteelly much higher than the rate paid to the ordinary labourers is the ealentry?—Cousiderably hig h er ; the diference between the UMW ticturing and mechanical labour, and the lateen of the peaserd, or the rude labour of the country, is vete; considerable, prodigiobs. State the proportion between the pay of yoke litNrais ere, and that of the peasant I—From Shier or .1; one to one, on an average. Your men have all the advantages of cheap food ; how do you ac count for th:: difference ?—I have thready said, that we have, at times, prelusion' much cheaper than you have, and you have foot sometimes much cheaper than we have ; anal that is from the s - muluuteous exportations from Ireland. The state of the fern s, e is arch, sometimes, Niue 111,y moat tell their cora to poet their rear and the corn goes from every port of Ireland, and the markets a Liverpool are glutted ; th. rt the pikes in Liverpool and Mat cheater, and the manufacturing towns in England, sic much low :e than with us ; for what has a tendency to depress the price of es vat this side of the water, enhances it on the otht r.

Tits OUTCASTS.—Such ham been the influence of tie popular Scotch novels, that not merely their style has be..w. imitated by foreign romance writers, but the hist wy of OW , nwn country has been ransacked by them, in order to MA a period that has not already been seized on, for the display of their genius. Thus we find the Baronerade la Nor e Borgne has constructed an interesting Tale, called 1".• Outcasts," out of some striking events that happened its CA early part of the reign of Elizabeth, and in which the hapless Lady Jane Grey figures ass principal character. The subject is well chosen, and, as the translation is spi - rited and elegant, there is good reason to expect it wil/to nearly as popular as its prototypes. c 1 .~ r
