The French Papers state nothing decided or important beyond what we gave yesterday, re• specting the military proceedings in the East.— The Gazette de France attributes, and with some plausibility, the SULTAN'S present dis tressed condition to the late disaffection of the Janissaries. It is through their intrigues, it S eems, that the fortresses are every where sur rendered up to the enemy, and their progress ma terially accelerated. The trial of the two Papers, the Figaro and the Apostolique, Came on on the 29th. One was accused of attacking the person of the KING, and the other of attacking the Charter. M. Bo- RAIN, responsible proprietor of the Figaro, Was condemned to six months' imprisonment, and 1,000 francs fine; and M. LE MERCIER, responsible proprietor of the Apostolique, to a month's imprisonment, and 300 francs fine.— The Messager des Chambres, in an article dated from Constantinople, states that on the Ist of August General DIEBITSCH still had his head-quarters at Aidos. On the 7th nothing was feared for the safety of the capital, or at least they were not well informed with respect to the movements of the enemy. The Hamburg Papers state, that according to accounts from Constantinople, the SULTAN had at length resolved to accept the Convention of London, of July 6th, for the pacification of Greece, and to negotiate on that basis. Letters from Berlin, of the 26th, it is said, confirm this rumour. It is also added, that some Turkish Deputies, accompanied by Mr. GORDON, the British Ambassador, have set out to the head quarters of General DIEBITSCH, for the purpose of making him acquainted with the result of the negociations respecting Greece. Accounts from Kraj ova, dated August 8, state that General GEISMA R has ordered his troops to quit Rachova, and retreat + across the Danube, in con sequence of the advance of the PACHA of Scutari, at the head of 30,000 men, towards that town, Report adds that Rachova has bee destroyed by the Russians. Dr. DOYLE, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Kildare, well known by his polemical disser tations under the signature of J. K. L., has just Published an address to the Clergy and lay inha bitants of his diocese, which cannot be too ex tensively perused and circulated through Ire land. It is a solemn—an affecting—an un adorned, but impassioned, appeal to his coun trYmen, more particularly to those in the neigh -4 bourhood of Tipperary, conjuring them to re frain from violence, to lay aside all rash thoughts of revenge, for real or imagined injuries, to cul tivate the arts of good-fellowship, and, above all, to confide in the sound intentions of Govern °lent, and set an. example to their Protestant, fell ow . subjects of implicit obedience to the laws (31. God and man. Such an address as this was much wanted, and coming forward as it does, at a Crisis when the Catholic mind throughout the South of Ireland is so unusually excited, cannot fail to have a beneficial, tranquillizing eff e ct.— ' l nt what an impressive contrast does it afford to t he late invidious charge of a certain well-known J udge In the Catholic Bishop's address we have an earnest, an affectionate exhortation to P e ace, circulated throughout his diocese (hut ap- P l Ying generally to his countrymen), from motives wh ich not even envy herself can misinterpret or condemn. In the Protestant Judge's charge—an °facial be it observed, connected with and belong ing to the Government—we have an indirect Pers il • tie aSIVe to religious and political sectarianism, liver e d on the Judgment-seat with all the 1/ei 2-. ll t and p om p of authority, to those on whom It c annot fail to produce an effect, while it equally confirms those who might previously have been inclined to entertain doubts respecting the le gality, or at any rate, the wisdom of perpetuating the absurd civil distinctions of past times. The Catholic Bishop shows himself a good Christian and a good subject : the Protestant Judge proves that he is an exclusive in the one, and a partisan in the other, character. The Catholic Bishop expounds the Law in the spirit of wisdom and beneficence ; the Protestant Judge, in the spirit of an Orangeman and a zealot. The one directs his efforts to promote peace and benevolence, the other to perpetuate discord and intolerance, among his countrymen. " Verily, both shall meet with their reward !" COURT-MARTIAL UPON CAPT. DICKEN SON, R.N.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY—(FIFTH DAY.) This morning at nine o clock the Court again resumed leir labours. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON was called to be cross-exa mined by Captain DICKENSON—On his advancing to the table, he addressed the Court and said, " I would wish to add to nay foregoing evidence that I did not even know Captain Dickenson ; that I do not believe I ever had a personal conversation with him until after the battle; I had no recollection of any conversation having passed be tween me and Captain Dickenson, as stated by him ; I do not undertake to say that Captain Dickenson was not on board, but I will say that, according to my view of what was his duty, under the circumstances, he had no business to be on board." Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON then complained of the want of several documents to enable him to establish the charge. The PRESIDENT said that he could write to the Admi- ralty for such as were considered essential. The Vice-Admiral would bow with deference to the Court, but said he had written already there, and he had hoped when he came down here to find the documents be fore the Court. Sir Edward said there were many ques tions to be cleared up, and from the papers he had seen, such was the contradiction of the evidence, that many of the depositions that had been made required the most mi nute examination, and if he had been made prosecutor, he would venture to say that he would shake much of the evidence they had heard. Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD said, that he (Sir Edward) was asked to become prosecutor, and if he had complied he would have been able to have put things possibly into a better light. Sir EDWARD—Why was I not made prosecutor ? The Admiralty had the means of doing so, if they had pleased, and so I told them in my letter, but they did not; and it was out of that document all the charges arose. The PRESIDENT said that he would, if he had the ap probation of the Court, writs to the Admiralty to send them down not only that document, but copies of his letters, so as to enable them to take them into the pro ceedings. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON—I have considered the evi dence, and I am of opinion that those documents ought to be produced. The Court had no power to enforce the production of them. The Court was then ordered to be cleared, when, after the absence of half an hour we were again admitted, when the Court put the following question to Sir Edward Codrington :—" Will Sir Edward Codrington undertake to say that those documents are absolutely necessary to carry on the prosecution?" Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON —I cannot undertake to say positively that they are. By Captain DICKENSON—Were you aware, on the morn ing of the 21st of October, that I came on board the Asia at two o'clock to report the death of Captain Bathurst? Sir EDWARD—I do not recollect. _ By Captain SCHOMBURCH-Did the report come to you officially, or by any other officer or conveyance to your knowledge, and when were you made acquainted with the positive death of Captain Bathurst? Sir EDWARD CO DRIITGTON—I do not at all recollect. Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD—I wish to know if Sir Ed ward addressed himself on the gangway to any officer rela- tive to Mrs. Bathurst ? Sir Enwait]) CoimnioroN—l am not aware of it—l do not wish to deny it—lt is a very probable thing I did, and that I should have made such an inquiry. By Captain GORDON—Does Sir Edward Codrington recollect in what way he was made acquainted that Captain Bathurst was mortally wounded, previous to his going on board the Genoa? Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON—I am under an impression that some officer, (not Captain Dick enson), first informed ine,—he came on board, not in a regular man-of-war's boat, and said that Captain Bathurst was wounded—l think it was a Lieutenant of the Genoa. By Captain DICKENSON-Was it during the battle that apprehensions were entertained of the Asia being on fire from the frigate in flames, and that the hawser was in tended to be used ? Sir EDWARD—No. The Asia, I believe, did not fire a single gun. Afterwards the Genoa did, and it was in consequence of that that I myself, I am pretty sure, hailed her, and desired her to leave off firing. I think the Genoa's log, before the Court, refers to that very time. --(The log was here referred to.)—lt stated that a boat was sent to assist the Asia with a hawser to swing cle it of a frigate in flames; that is under the time of 4. 20. At five the frigate blew up. It is difficult to say when the action was over ; the ships kept firing ; I have a record of 17 vessels blown up. Captain 03IMANNEY being called, stated that he was on board the Genoa at ten o'clock at night of the 21st Oct., and saw Captain Bathurst wounded in the cockpit ; he was quite sensible at the time ; he was not present when Sir E. Codrington was there ; he was on board some time pre viously, as he had been informed by Sir E. Codrington himself. By the COURT—After the action he went to pay his re spects to the Admiral, to know what his commands were. The Admiral said to him " Get your ship ready as fast as you can." By Sir H. BLACKWOOD—. It does not come within his knowledge whether Captain Dickenson was on board the Asia on the night of the day of the battle or not. Sir E. Codrington mentioned the Genoa's name to him, either to express his approbation, or the contrary. His interview with the Admiral was a very short.one. By Admiral OTwAY—Captain Bathurst, when he saw him in the Cockpit, was so sensible and collected that it was his opinion that he was capable of giving orders. He spoke to him of his private affairs in a firm and collected manner. When he offered his good wishes for his re covery he thanked him, and said it was impossible that he could recover, having seen his entrails out ; be then spoke to him of his family affairs. By the PRESIDENT-Did he make any reference to the battle, and state what it was ? CaptainnitsiaNNEY—To the best of my recollection I think he said " My good friend I fear we have fired into you, but I hope we have not done you much damage ;" to which I replied, to the best of my recollection, " Do not let that distress you, I cannot say whether it has or has not." I think he said, " I did the best I could to prevent it." By Admiral OTWAY—IIe did not hear Captain Bathurst give any orders during the time he was on board ; be heard no reports made to him. He conceived every Captain has the command whilst he has life. By Captain SCHOMBURGH—Did the Vice-Admiral sug gest to you that it might be necessary to put to sea that night, under the apprehension of a fire ship, and desire you to prepare his Majesty's ship for that purpose ? Captain OMMANNEY-Ile did not express any such intention of going to sea that night, but on the contrary he told me not to concern myself about them rowing guard, for that Count Hayden had olYered to take that service. His order to get the ships ready as fast as they could was a general order. By Captain INGLEFIELD-In the conversation you had with Captain Bathurst, do you recollect whether he men tioned any commendation that Sir E. Codrington bestowed en the Genoa for her conduct during the action? Capt. OMMAN wry—No ; nothing of that nature did transpire. [lt was here remarked, that in the log-book of the Al. Lion there was a new leaf put in and an old one cut out.] By Captain DICKENSON-I am not certain whether the French Admiral was on board the Asia when I was. Sir Edward Codrington was busy writing. Ido not know any thing of the introduction of a leaf in the log-book of the Albion. I never remarked it until I saw it in Court now. The action ceased shortly after six o'clock in the evening. Mr. WILLIAM LINDSAY, late assistant -surgeon of the Genoa, stated that he was first assistant-surgeon on board the Genoa. Witness was not present when Captain Om manney visited Captain Bathurst. By the l'anslDENs--After Capt. Bathurst was brought into the cockpit, did he receive any reports, and did he know how to receive any reports of the. conduct of the Genoa ? Mr. LINDSAY—None that I know of; at one period he gave an order, but it did not appear to me to be addressed to any particular person. The order was to Captain Dickenson to fight the ship, and to keep up a steady fire to the last. PRESIDENT-Have you seen the report of the killed and wounded ; and did you assist the surgeon in making it up ? Mr. LINDSAYNCO. _ _ PRESIDENT-Does it come within your knowledge that any person who had been wounded in the battle, and died during the twenty-four hours, was returned in the list as killed in the battle? Mr. LINDSAY—I do not recollect. Captain Bathurst lived the longest of any who were grievously wounded. Several died in my presence in the cockpit. I believe Captain Bathurst was the only one, ex cept Captain Moore, who survived the battle some days. By Captain DICKENSON-Do you remember the firemen being called ? Mr. Lindsay—Yes. Capt. DICKENSON—Did you hear Capt. Bathurst make any remark? Mr. LINDSAY-None to my recollection. Mr. C. E. ANDREWS, late purser of the Genoa, examined —I was in the cockpit when Sir Edward Codrington was there, but heard no conversation pass. I saw the Admiral going to the birth to Captain Bathurst, but I did not think it eight to follow him. By the CounT—Captain Bathurst, after he was brought into the cockpit, issued no orders respecting the ship, ex cept when he heard voices on the pier cables, he requested me to order them on deck. By Capt. ELLIOTT—He did not recollect any message being sent by Capt. Bathurst to Capt. Dickenson, as to fighting the ship. By Sir HENRY Br.AcKwoon—He heard Captain Ba thurst, when in the cockpit, express a hope that Captain Dickenson would fight the ship well; and he considered the ship in the hands of Capt. Dickenson. Capt. SMYTH re-examined by Capt. DICKENSO---I do not recollect sending Lieut. Sturt to the Admiral with a message on the evening of the battle. I have been subse quently under the command of Sir E. Codrington, and he never complained of the conduct of the Genoa at Navarin. The PRESIDENT-We have now done with the fifth charge. The Court then adjourned until to-morrow morning.— The interest seems to increase considerably as the Court proceeds, and the chamber was more crowded than on any previous day.

The prior intelligence which we communicated yesterday, received express from Vienna, of the change in the disposition of the Grand Sultan, and who at present is anxious to negociate for a peace, is confirmed this morning by the arrival yesterday evening of the Hamburg steamer; this sudden change on the part of the Sultan no doubt has been effected by the interference of the King of Prussia. Owing to the French Mail not having arrived this morning we are without an express from Paris, consequently no further intelligence has been received from the theatre of war; to the present hour the ar rivals are few and of no importance. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off at yesterday, 89i for the account, since which the market has become heavy, and Consols have receded to 89 for the account and 881 for money, owing to several sales having been effected.

The cause of the previous fall in the market was attributed to a Stock Exchange report of some naval preparations going forward, which soon dwindled into smoke; and the market resumed its former firmness.

BLACKWOOD S MAGAZINE. PART I. There is a double number this month of Old Christopher North's spirited Miscellany, and each is excellent in its kind. In the one ‘ve have a romantic poem by the Ettrick Shepherd, entitled " Elen of Reigh," not altogether un worthy of his well-known fairy tale " Kilmeny," and in the other an imaginative piece of blank verse, modelled on the Lake school, both as re gards its style and sentiment, by Professor Wil son, under the name of " An Evening in Fur ness Abbey." In the present Number the ar ticles are numerous and well-selected ; the only one to which we feel inclined to object, being an analysis of a strange German tragedy ; which however, as a piece of criticism is unimpeach able ; though we must confess we should have preferred to see the writer developing his ana lytical faculties on some less exhausted topic than German melodrame. " A scene off Ber muda" is a spirited little description of a nau tical manoeuvre, by which an English little brig escaped the clutches of a huge uncouth Ame rican frigate of the largest class. In ,one or two points of this sketch—for it is but a sketch— we are reminded of the vigorous and graphic powers of the American novelist, Cooper. " My Landlady and her Lodgers," by Mr. Galt, im proves upon acquaintance.. The following de scription of a drunken negro is amusing : "That same night after the conversation I have just told you of," said Mrs. Winsom, " Jugurtha, the now corrupted creature, came home in the twilight ree with drink, his face shining like a carved mahogany head var nished, and his white eyes rolling audaciously. But as he was in the main a good-natured thing, he was more an object of derision than of anger. " He had not well sat down at the kitchen fire, till he began to sing, in a very odd way, the song of Rule Britannia—Britons never will be slaves ;' and every now and then he rose and rampauged through the kitchen, giving a stamp with his foot that made the whole house dirt, crying out, ' Don't care d—n for Massa—me Massa now—Massa fleggee me—me floggee now Massa—Rule Britannia—Britains eber will be slave !' " ' Jugurtha,' said I, in a kind and composing man ner, he advised by me, and sit down soberly, and tell us what all this outstrapolousness means.' " Missee,' replied he, 'me free—me no black man, nigger—me Briton, me heart of oak—me drub 'em—old Massa pay me shall wage for time me come to Old England— Me gentleman of England, Dat lib from home at seas.' " Well, well, Jugurtha,' was my sedate observation, no doubt ye are a gentleman. It may be seen ye are, just by looking at ye ; but what's to become of this Maroon war that we have heard so much about, and how blood hounds were brought from Santamingo to hunt the runa way niggers? Surely ye're no turned a Maroon ?' " No, Missee—no, Missee—me fire out de clearing house round de door, when 'em d—n Maroon would kill Massa.' " At this moment Mr. Flowerfield, who had heard the uproar, and something of what was going on, came down stairs, and cried, You black rascal!' " The sound of his voice cowed Jugurtha, the intoxicated emancipator, causing him to retire slinking towards his seat at the fire-side, rebuked and subdued. But it was only for a short duration, for the drink was in his head ; he became most dreadful : starting from his seat, looking awful with his white teeth, and crying, as it were with a roar, 'Me no black rascal—me free man—my soul buckra soul.' " And who washed the Ethiopian ?' said Mr. Flower field, looking round the kitchen, as I thought, for some weapon to inflict law and justice for such contumacy. Jugurtha snapped his fingers at the old gentleman, who had, by this time, caught hold of the hearth-brush, and who, without saying a word, knocked him down in a most methodical manner. I thought he was murdered, and Babby thought he was dead ; and so, to see such a black act as the slaying of a nigger in our house, caused us both at once to cry out in desperation, ' Murder and help— help !' " " Colonna, the Painter" is an impressive and finely penned tale, full of high wrought incident. " The Ruined Nunnery," by Delta, is a pas sable specimen of versification, and the " Noctes Ambrosianw," replete, as usual, with fun and spirit. PART 11. " The Family Library," is a sensible lauda tory notice of a very deserving and diversified miscellany. " A Prose Essay on Prosing," is lively and anecdotical, interspersed here and there with some sound, pertinent reflections, ex pressed with point and neatness. " The First and Last Sacrifice," is a powerful tale, but abounds too much in description, and too little in action. It will nevertheless reward a perusal. " An Essay on the Theory and Writings of Wordsworth," is a prosing, spiritless dissertation, on a subject which, from its exceeding triteness, no power on earth can render interesting. We are threatened with a continuation of it. This is a dreadful thing to look forward to. " The Loves of the Poets," is an eloquent notice of Mrs. Jameison's late interesting work on that subject. It is written in an amusing vein, half sprightly, half serious, and cannot fail to pleaseE " An Evening in Furness Abbey," is worthy of its author. This is the highest praise we can give it. The politics of these numbers are less truculent than usual. This is an improvement. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The " Autobiography of Jehanguir," in the present number of this IVlagazine, is curious and entertaining. The subject of it was, it appears, Emperor of Ilindostan, and during the course of a long and bustling life, met with an infinite variety of strange adventures. The narrative is ably written. " Bishops' Sleeves" is a smart quii on the present very prevalent influence of large sleeves. We give a specimen of the writer's manner ; " Another, and directly opposite, fashion now prevails. The arm is confined in a bag. Confined, did we say?— Yes, as Ulysses confined the winds, in a bag, confined to make a great blow out for the purpose of the adventurer. Two bags of huge dimensions, of the same material as the body of the rob, envelope the arms. They are called 'Bishops' sleeves,' from their resemblance to those worn by the dignitaries of the Church. Fashion, in its wildest flight, might have some determinate object in view. The ruffle might have been considered ornamental to a fine arm. It might be compared to the capital of the Co rinthian column. The naked fashion might have ori ginated in female vanity, ambitious to display tie sym metry of a beautifully rounded limb ; but how shall we account for this hideous fashion of bishops' sleeves? It is deformity personified. The finest figure, thus encum bered, loses all trace of human proportions, and might be mistaken for two pillow-cases hanging on a stick, so small is the space into which the waist is compressed between these appendages. A cry was lately raised that the Church was in danger. Have the fair mounted bishops' sleeves as a signal of their determination to use their arms in its sup port? Our countrywomen have been reproached with coldness and reserve ; any body now may, without diffi culty, creep into their sleeve. Pity has its favourite dwelling in the breast of women. In that abode distress is ever sure to meet with sympathy, and the heart sus ceptible of love will beat responsive to the call of charity. After long meditation, I fancied I had found in this ami able disposition of the sex a solution of the mystery. Sir Isaac Newton, on the discovery of one of the most abstruse secrets of nature that ever cote within the reach of that extraordinary man, did not feel snore pleasure. Oh! amiable woman, I exclaimed, you have heard the cause assig+,,d by our statesmen for the distress now prevalent in the manufacturing districts; you have heard it ascribed pro:iocti, and declare their inabi l't. to su::ply a 010. dc. What tit isdom of Parliament :.ot yoo have : your sagacity Ia• dist -v; red t th, rim-tim;oh.o t is stock on haul would remove the evil, Unit your humanity has applied the proper and certain cure. To your honour and glory you have adopted bishops' sleeves, in order to relieve the stores of the manufacturers of the masses of ,goods with which they are bursting ; for this lanname, generous, anti patriotic purpose, you have imposed a great expense upon your husbands and fathers, and inflicted upon yourselves a cruel injury in the disfigurement of your persons. It is the sacrifice of female vanity to a sense of public duty,—a generous devotion, that puts the loftiest and most disinte , rested of our patriots to the blush. The chaste nuns of Quedlinberg, who slit their noses in defence of their vir ginity, were not actuated by a purer spirit than you have evinced in the cause of the distressed. When Curtius leaped into the gulf, did he display a more patriotic ardour than the female who plunged her white arm into the wide yawning bishop's sl; eve to be swallowed up in the deep and dark abyss? It was a spirit like this that inflicted with her own hand the mortal wound upon Arria, and drew from her the expression—' It does not pain, my Ptetus.' A spirit like this forced the burning coals down the throat of the wife of Brutus, the virtuous daughter of Cato. The bishop's sleeve operating in consumption like the power .loom in production, the surplus manufacture, thought I, will speedily disappear ; every fair purchaser will now tell in the market equal to three of former times; and in the prophetic language of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I exclaimed, The transitory cloud that now lowers upon the country will pass away, leaving the sun of its prosperity to shine out in all its original resplendent lustre."' " Sketches of Brussels in 1829" are agree able, and pleasantly diversified in matter. " Sporting Scenes in India" will be read with interest by all East Indians, as well as country gentlemen, who are prone to the sports of the field. The cursory notices of jungle snakes, tigers, and other agreable tenants of an Indian wood, are introduced with much effect. " Lines on the Departure of Emigrants for New South Wales" are from the well known pen of Thomas Campbell, and are worthy of his transcendant genius. Altogether the number is an excel lent one. MONTHLY MAGAZINE. This periodical reached us at such an ad vanced hour in the day, that we must defer what we have to say respecting it till to-morrow. THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. A very creditable number, full of variety and light pleasant information. Our contracted limits prevent us, as we would wish, from giving extracts, we must therefore content ourselves with this brief notice. EDWARDS'S BOTANICAL REGISTER, Continued by JOHN LINDLEY, Esq., Professor of Botany in the University of London.—No. 7 Vol. 11. New Series. This month's Number contains a fine specimen of Argemone * Grandfflora, from Mexico, flowering from June to September. — It is one of the most ornamental, hardy annuals we are acquainted with, and far superior to any other of the poppy tribe, except Eschscholtzia Californica; communicated by Mr. Barclay, of Bury Hill, whose importations of fine plants have enriched our gardens, and whose exertions are unremitted in support of botanical science. Pimelea humilis, a very pretty green-house shrub, from New Holland; it is cultivated without any difficulty in peat and loam, and propagates readily by cuttings ; com municated by the Countess de Vandes. Ca mellia japonica punctata, is a very beautiful variety of the genus ; it was raised from seed in the garden of Edward Gray, Esq., of Hornsey. The flowers, when they are fully expanded, vary from three to four inches in diameter, and are of a very delicate blush-colour, almost white, striped and slightly spotted with pale rose, in the man ner of what is known by florists as a rose-flake' carnation. Each successive Number of this superior work tends to render the value of Mr. Douglas's researches in North America most conspicuous. Perhaps from the la bours of no one man besides himself a greater or more variable supply of orna mental hardy plants been introduced to this country ; and plants, too, be it remembered, eminently calculated for the climate of Great Britain, approaching, as it is supposed, so nearly to that of the North-western portion of the American continent ; and as the particular soil each plant has been accustomed to is specified by Mr. Lindley, they may flourish as gaily on the fertile margin of the Thames, as on the rude banks of the Columbia and Multnomah. So called from Argenza, or a cataract of the eye, which it has been thought to cure. The Duke of CUMBERLAND returned to town yesterday afternoon from a visit to his MAJESTY, at the Royal Lodge in Windsor-park. The Duchess of Cum- BERLAND took an airing yesterday in Hyde-park. Her Royal Highness entertained the Princess ESTERHAZY to dinner on Sunday, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's.

DEvtnEux.—This new work, by the dis tinguished author of "Pelham" and the " Disowned," is exciting an extraordinary degree of interest. It is set forth as the autobiography of Count DEVEREVX, whose life was one of stirring adventure and constant excitement. " Men of all grades," says the hero, " and of every character, have been familiar to me. War—love—ambi tion—the scroll of sages—the festivals of wit—the intrigues of states—all that agitates mankind, the hope and the fear, the labour and the pleasure—the great dram of vanities, with the little interludes of wisdom, these have been the occupations of my manhood—these will furnish forth the materials of that history which is now open to your sur vey." The details of a life of such varied and extensive experience could scarcely fail in such bands as Mr. But wxn's, to furnish a rich literary repast, and we think the author may be congratulated on t his n ew p roof of g reat and extraordinary powers, SPIRIT OP TIIE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Marquis de Barbacena has just addressed an official declaration to the subjects of Donna Maria da Gloria, in her character of Queen of .Por- tugal, which derives more interest than might other wise have belonged to it, from the coincidence of two events—viz. the departure of her Ma jesty for South America, and the animating and unlooked-for intelligence from Count Villa Floc, announcing his victory over the Usurper's exp dition. have already stated it to he. an un derstood fact, that the British Government hail remonstrated with the Ministers of the Empe- ror Don Pedro, against the apparent impoliey of withdrawing the Queen from Europe, thus aggravating the discouragement of her loyal sub jects, and relieving Miguel from the aprchen sion which perpetually galls him, whilst Donna Maria remains within a week s sail of Por;n:al ; that si►e is here in readiness to take advatlte of contingencies, and to serve as a rawong, point for the alienated spirits of the Portuolcsc, whom his tyranny from day to day diT;tlA.:. There is no more doubt that the dissuasb.:s ni this friendly Government have been justified by sound sense and reasoning, than that they were founded on good faith and a sincere prelike tion for the cause of honour and legitimacy, and distinguished from that of usurpation. It would be vain to deny that Donna Maria, by an abrupt return to Rio de Janeiro, after ail hitherto unsuccessful voyage to Europe, would furnish to her enemy the most plausible grounds for affirming that she abandoned all pretem.ions Ito the Crown of Portugal, and left Don Miei undisputed master of the field. Whether mate rials could be found, without a single outreee on the law of nations, for maintaining a centli(t against that perfidious and odious Prince, even by a more prolonged adherence on the part or Donna Maria to the system of watching over Portugal from England, we shall not here in quire, but unquestionalaly, whatever chance of a favourable result can be imagined, be it much or little, must be sensibly impaired by this mea sure of now revisiting her father's Court. To guard against all sinister constructions, and espe cially to disclaim the notion that her. flight. from Europe involves an abdication of the Crown (al the part of her Majesty, or an indifference to his daughter's rights on that of Don Pedro, is the professed object of the present formal &clam-, tion. It does not, indeed, appear to us tleA case has been made out to justify the Queen's departure. There is no apparent " necessity" for the Emperor of Brazil to become the local and immediate protector of his daughter's person on account of the " struggle which unhappily exists between legitimacy and usurpation :" first, legitimacy, so far as Portugal is concerned, has gone to the wall without any struogki that deserves the name ; but secondly, and more obviously, the person of the young queen, and her mind also, are in at least equally good keep.- ing outli erlog: America i l ; there and is,re a moreover,s jects to be placed on the debit side of the trans atlantic voyage. Nevertheless, Don Pedro and his councillors must know their own business better than we can explain it to them. give up the cause, it is not for England to im pugn their judgment. Her course, being that a conscientious neutrality, is a clear one. gave fair play to the friends of the constitutien when she turned her back upon the tyrant v. to destroyed it, and refused to hold interceueee with him. This of itself was surely affording a great moral advantage to the Patriots. If the y were too few or feeble to make use of it, the fault lies not with England. British commerce cannot always be compelled to devote itself for a political principle, however just. Two nations cannot always be penned in from mingling or communicating, because the actual ruler of one of them happens to be a scoundrel. If the Bri tish Government be urged, on the other hand, to take positive measures for the overthrow of rs h Miguel's usurpation, the answer is easy. has Pedro such thoughte to m h or take lawful to subjects bound he will not suffer Brazil tb be impli cated in the civil wars of a foreign, though closely connected nation, even where one of the contending parties—the injured party, and un happily the weaker—is his own child. WheWer a British Ministry would have virtue enough to exercise such forbearance in a parallel case, we know not, or to enforce it on the Sovereign of this country as his duty, to let Hanover, should. it devolve on a junior branch of the House of Brunswick, " go quietly to the dogs," arc can not say with any confidence ; but sure ve e are, that when Pedro refuses to commit Brazil in his daughter's quarrel, it would be preposterous to reproach King George IV., because he declines to be so committed. History, however, is full of retributive justice. We may—we ought—to indulge strong wishes on this subject of the Portuguese succession—though to act on them we may be forbidden by the principles of policy and law. Count Villa floes despatch from Terceira will be read with pleasure by every ad- mirer of bravery, constancy, and military talent. —Times. If they She In our remarks yesterday on the disturbances at Barnsley, and the speeches delivered by the artizans at their meetings on Monday and Wed nesday last, we observed with reference to the proposition of Frank Mirfield, that " the la bouring class are entitled to a belly .full them selves ;" that " if those who ought to know more than Frank Mirfield bold the same lan guage, we are not to be surprised that a poor labourer should conceive that there ought to be no such thing as misery in the world." One of the speakers, Peter Hoey, went a littl e f urt h er than Frank Mirfield, for he laid it down that the law of the land ought to give way to the law of nature. In Blackwood's Magazine for Sep tember, there is an article on ". The State and Prospects of the Country," in which we find precisely the same language as that uttered at the Barnsley Meeting, so that we are almost tempted to conclude either that Peter Hoey and s a u i p l por t t lia al t l , Frank Mirfield have written the article in Black wood, or thethe proof sheets of it have been sent to these orators some time before the Meeting.
