whatever in the contest. between the faction.; in Por. tugal ; but to oppose himself to the foreign invaders, and to such as he might find united under their banners. In 1822, the King of Portugal regarded the de claration of independence by Brazil, and the assump tion of the sovereign authority in that country by his son, the Emperor Don Pedro, as acts of suc cessful rebellion. The Portuguese Government frerpiently appealed to the treaties with this country, and to the ohliations of a guarantee, by which the integrity of Portugal and her colonies was secured. But the British Government, while admitting in their full extent the obligations of the guarantee, maintained that they only existed against dismem berment by a foreign power ; and that to the effects of internal dissension they hail no application. By the stoic Verbak presented to the Portuguese Go vernment by the British Charge d'Affaires at Lis bon, in the month of December, 182?, his Majesty declared, that, in the events which at that time divided the House of Braganza against itself, he seas determined to observe " the mo=t exact and scru pulous neutrality." By a happy agreement W ith his Most Faithful Majesty, concluded under the mediation of Great Britain, the independence of Brazil was finally at knovidedged and secured ; but this has been so far from weakening the effect of the guarantee given by Great Britain fur the pre servation of Portugal and her remaining colonies, that his Majesty would feel himself bound to pro tect them equally against the unjust aggression of Brazil as of any other foreign Power. It is not pretended by the Marquis de Barhacena that the usurpation of the Infant Don Miguel has had any foreign origin, or has been encouraged by any foreign state. On the contrary, every sovereign in Europe has withdrawn his Minister, and sus pended all diplomatic intercourse with the Court of Lisbon. Whether the art be right or wrong, it was that of the nation. If proof were wanting, it would be found in the conduct of those who, hav ing raised the standard of the Emperor Don Pedro, or of the Queen Donna Maria, at Oporto, having collected there the greatest part of the army, to gether with a large body of .men in arms, not be longing to the military profession, superior in num bers, equipment, discipline, and means to their op ponents, still thought it necessary to abandon Oporto, and many of them to seek refuge in England, be cause, as they declared, they found the whole coun try against them. But if a case of successful usurpation and rebel lion cannot justify the interference of Great Britain, still less can she be called upon to take part in the decision of a disputed succession. It is attempted, however, to interpret the guarantee established in the treaties with Portugal, as imposing upon Great Britain the obligation of securing the succession of the Queen Donna Maria, and of placing her Most Faithful Majesty - by force upon the throne of her ancestors. If Great Britain had yielded to the solicitation of the ambassador of his Most Faithful Majesty, in December, 1825, and had guaranteed the succession of Portugal to the Emperor Don Pedro, in spite of his declared reluctance to accept ii, confirmed by his subsequent abdication, we should have contract ed an engagement utterly beyond our power to ful fil; and which, from its very nature, must have been known to be so, at the moment at which it was formed. The British Government, therefore, did wisely in declining to accede to the proposition • of the Marquis de PaLeella. It is true, that his Majesty, respecting the rights of primogeniture, and the order of nature, has acknowledged the Empes or Don Pedro as King of Portugal; and, upon his ab dication, has also recognized the Infanta Donna Matia as his successor, and the. lawful sovereign of that country. But his Majesty would contradict the principles which he has publicly professed, and upon which he has alwa)s . acted, were he to em ploy force as the means of obtaining the acqui escence of ftn independent people in this recognition. The only semblance of foundation for - the asser tion advanced by the Marquis do Barbacena, that - this country is bound; under.the _treaties of alliance. and guarantee, to co-operate by such means in Plat ing her Most Faithful Majesty upon the throne of Portugal, is to be fungi in the stipulation of the 6th Article of the Secret Convention, concluded on the 22d of October, 1807, by which Great Bri tain engages never to recognlze us King of Portu gal any other Prince than " the heir and legiti mate representative of the Royal Family of Bra ganza." It is to be recollected that this convention was signed, in anticipation of the invasion of Portugal by a French force, and of the determination of the Prince Regent to embark with his whole family for Rio de Janeiro, rather than sacrifice his alliance with England. It was knoWn too, to be the intention of Buonaparte to parcel out the kingdom of Portu gal in petty sovereignties, among the most favoured of his generals. This pledge, therefore, was the re turn made by the King of England for the devotion of his ally to the common cause. It was an assur ance which that ally might naturally expect to re ceive against the danger then imminent. Were this convention still in force, his Majesty might be bound to acknowledge, as King of Portugal, the legitimate heir only of the house of Braganza. But, obviously temporary in its character, it has ceased to exist with the necessity which gave it birth. The secret convention of 1807 was engraft ed into the treaty of friendship and alliance signed at Rio Janeiro in 1810 ; and in this treaty the sixth article of the Secret Convention, containing the ex press guarantee of Portugal to the house of Bra ganza was inserted, word for word ; the conven tion, therefore, merged in the treaty of 1810. But in 1815, at the termination of the struggle in which both countries had been so long and so gloriously engaged, when the sceptre of Portugal was replaced unimpaired in the hands of "the heir and legitimate representative of the Royal Family of Bra ganza," the main object of these treaties was accomplished. On the 22d of January of that year, the two powers entered into another treaty at Vienna ; by the third article of which the treaty of 1810, " being founded on circumstances of a temporary nature, which have happily ceas ed to exist, the said treaty is hereby declared to be void in all its parts, and of no effect. That the provisions of the said Convention of 1807 are included in this revocation, is confirmed by the latter part of. the same article, which de clares that the revocation shall be without pre judice to " the ancient treaties of alliance, friend ship, and guarantee, subsisting between the two countries," which are renewed and acknowledged to be in full force and effect, while it is entirely site t upon the convention of 1807 ; thus evidently showing, that in the opinion of both contracting parties, the latter convention partook of the same temporary character, which is ascribed to the Treaty of 1810; the stipulations of which, in consequence of the changes rendered necessary by the course of events, had previously been substituted for those of 1807. The undersigned trusts, therefore, that the reli gious fidelity with which this country is desirous of fulfilling all its engagements, will not be exposed to imputation or doubt, if he finds himself compelled, in the name of the King, his master, to reject the appeal which has been made by the Marquis de Bar bacena to the fancied - obligations imposed upon Great Britain by the treaties existing between the two kingdoms. In addition to the supposed obligation arising from former engagements, the Marquis de Barba cena has adduced certain diplomatic acts, whiCh his Excellency maintains are to be regarded as possess ing the character and validity of treaties, and, as such, giving to the Emperor - Don Pedro an indis putable right to call for his Majesty's assistance, in conquering the kingdom of Portugal for his daugh ter. These acts are the result of the conferences at Vienna and in London, i n the month of October, 1827, and in the month of,January, 1828, before the departure of the Infant Don Miguel for Lisbon. In these conferences, the Marquis de Barb acena contends that both his Majesty and his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austria, virtually entered into some solemn engagement, by which they bound themselves to exact the fulfilment of the promises then made by the Infant. In proportion as this country is scrupulous in the performance of its engagements, care has been taken to render these engagements definite and precise ; it has, moreover, long been the practice to abstain from givin any guarantee, the execution of which is not within our own power, but which may depend upon the good faith, or upon the inclination of others. The undersigned, therefore cannot think it necessary to occupy much time in the refutation of an assumption so gratuitous, and so entirely unsup ported by the real state of the facts, as that which has been thus put forward by the Marquis de Bar bacena. His Majesty's Ambassador at the Court of Vienna attended the conferences, by the invitation of the Austrian Chancellor of State, and in come puence of the letter addressed to his Majesty by the Emperor Don Pedro on the 3(1 of July, 1827, in which his Imperial Majesty declared, that he had appointed the Infant Don Miguel to be his Lieu tenant and Regent of the kingdom of Portugal. Had his Majesty, indeed, overcome the reluctance of the Emperor Don Pedro, and prevailed upon his Imperial Majesty to confer upon his brother the ap pointment of Regent, and had his Majesty given his guarantee for the conduct of his Royal Highness, and for the performance of his promises, there might have been a claim upon his Majesty to see that the engagements then contracted were carried into exe cution ; but, in truth, the Ambassador of his Ma jestv entered into no engagement of this description; neither did he take part in any negotiation leading to such a pledge ; and although the King had reason to complain of the InfLnt Don Miguel, for having failed to perform engagements made in the presence of his Ambassador, this cause of complaint was founded upon the indignity thus offered to his Ma jesty himself, and not upon the injury done to the Emperor Don Pedro. It is true that in the conferences of Vienna, and subsequently in London, his Majesty's Ambassador, and the Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austria, did give an assurance that their respective Sovereigns would jointly exert their good offices to prevail upon the Emperor Don Pedro, to complete his act of abdication of the Throne of Por tugal, as well as to send his daughter to Europe, and by a definitive treaty to regulate the order of succession in the two branches of the House of lra gauze. The Marquis de Barbacena complains that the Emperor, his master, was urged to act in this manner; and more than insinuates that he did so contrary to his own interests, and in compliance with the solicitations of England and Austria. But what is the fact ? Undoubtedly the King did advise his Imperial Majesty to complete the act of Abdication of the Kingdom of Portugal, and thus to perform an obligation which his Imperial Majesty himself, as far back as the month of May, 1826, had solemnly con tracted before the world. His Majesty further ad vised the Emperor to send his daughter to Europe, in accordance with the declaration of his Imperial Majesty made at the same period. These measures were well calculated to conciliate and to tranquillize the Portuguese nation, by removing the just suspi cions of the people, and convincing them that it was not intended to govern them as a colony of Brazil. It is unfortunate that the measures thus advised were not carried into execution previous to the arrival of the Infant at Lisbon. Had this been the case, much of what has since happened, and which is most to be deplored, would probably have been prevented. But the assurance given to Don Miguel, and entered upon tile protocol of the conference, to offer to the Emperor Don Pedro this advice, does not render his Majesty the guarantee of the performance of those promises contained in the letters of Don Miguel, which were laid before the conference, and annexed •to the protocol. Neither does the advice tendered to the Emperor upon the propriety of the execution of these important acts, respecting which his Impe rial Majesty had long before spontaneously pledged .his Royal word, confer any right whatever of claim ing from his Majesty those succours which are ne cessary for the conquest of Portugal. The tone of expostulation and complaint which pervades the rote of the Marquis de Barbacena, and the impression which it is intended to convey, that the present state of Portugal is in great measure to be attributed to the deference paid by the Emperor Don Pedro to the counsels of his allies, render it necessary to take a short review of some events con nected with this subject, to the end that Great Bri tain may be as effectually relieved from the moral resporisibility which it is attempted to impose upon her, as from the weight of more formal obligations. The late King, John VI., died on the 10th of March, 1826: the intelligence of his death arrived in England on the 23d of March, and in Brazil on the 26th of April. The Emperor Don Pedro im mediately assumed to himself the government of Portugal as King, in virtue of his right of succes sion as the eldest son of his father :—he published a general amnesty, and framed the constitution, in the preamble to which the three orders of the state were called upon to swear fidelity to it forthwith; and in which it was declared that the kingdom cif Portugal should thenceforward be governed accord ing to the conditions laid down in that instrument. The Emperor, at the same time, made over the suc cession of the Crown to his daughter as Queen ; appointed his sister, Donna Isabella Maria, Regent of the kingdom; and, in order that no doubt what ever might remain of his intentions, his Imperial Majesty explicitly declared, in his speech to the Le gislative Assembly of Brazil, on the 6th of May, that " he had abdicated and ceded all the indisput able and irrefragable rights which he had possessed to the Crown of the Portuguese monarchy to his daughter the Princess Donna Maria da Gloria, Queen of Portugal." His Imperial Majesty de spatched Sir Charles Stuart from Rio de Janeiro to Lisbon, as the bearer of these instruments, on the 11th of May,—thus concluding the whole of this important transaction in 14 days. It is obvious, from the observation of these dates, that no person possessing any authority from his Mejesty, with the exception of Sir Charles Stuart, could have inter fered, even by advice, in the adoption of these mea sures; and it is not pretended that such advice was ever received from his Excellency. The avowed object of the measures of April and May, 1826, was to separate, finally, the kingdoms of Portugal and Brazil,—an event, ; ually desired by both parts of the Monarchy. This object was accomplished by the promulgation of the charter, as effectually and as solemnly as it could be by an instrument executed by the Sovereign himself. In the proclamation ad dressed to the Portuguese nation, and dated the 2d of May, 1826, his Imperial Majesty declared that his abdication should become complete, as soon as the constitution had been sworn to, and the mar riage concluded between the Infant Don Miguel arid the Queen Donna Maria. The constitution was sworn to as his Imperial Majesty had directed, upon its reception in Portugal ; and the affiance of mar riage was completed at Vienna, on the 29th of Oc tober, 1826. The undersigned may now be permitted to ask whether the promises of the abdication and of the transmission of the Infant Queen to Portugal, were fulfilled. Did not his Imperial Majesty continue to interfere in all the measures of detail of the Portu guese government ? Did he not create peers ? pro mote officers in the army and navy ? interfere in the selection and nomination of ministers, and in all the interior arrangements of the kingdom ? The Por tuguese nation was disappointed in its hope and ex pectation of a final separation from Brazil ; and the disappointment of this hope and expectation was still further confirmed by . the detention of their young Queen at Rio de Janeiro. In the mean time, the dissatisfaction and discontent, produced by the con stitution transmitted from Brazil were daily increas ing; and at last broke out into acts of violence and open rebellion. In this state of things, his Imperial Majesty, having first ordered his brother, the Infant Don Miguel, to repair from Vienna to Rio de Ja neiro, and having sent a ship of the line to Brest for the purpose of conveying bins thither, suddenly coun. termanded these orders, and, unsolicited by his Ma jesty, appointed his Royal Highness to be bis Lieu tenant in Portugal and Regent of the kingdom. This decision, the undersigned is ready to admit, may have been justly demanded by the distracted condition of the country, and, in point of fact, was subsequently recommended by his Majesty. But he must, at the same time, beg to observe to the Marquis de Barbacena, that from what he has 110 W had the honour to state, it clearly appears that the abdication of the crown—the composition and grant of the constitutional charter—the promise to send the Queen Donna Maria to Portugal—the unfortu nate delay in the execution of that promise, as well as the little respect paid to the pledge virtually given by the abdication not to interfere from Brazil in the internal government of Portugal—and finally that the nomination of the Infant Don Miguel as Regent, were all acts spontaneously emanating from the Em peror Don Pedro himself, which did not originate with the King his master; and for the effects of which his Majesty cannot be held responsible. The undersigned will not conclude without further expressing his regret that the counsels of Great Britain, when offered, should have been received with so little confidence and alacrity. These counsels have never been adopted by his Imperial Majesty meil the course of events had rendered the choice of any alternative impracticable; nor until, from this reluctance and delay, they had, in a great measure, been deprived of their beneficial influence. In truth it may be affirmed, that so far from Great Britain having been instrumental in the production of the evils which have recently afflicted Portugal, they are mainly to be attributed to the want of a frank, con sistent and direct course of policy on the part of the Brazilian Government itself. The undersigned, &c. (Signed) ABERDEEN. The Marquis de Barbacena, HAMBURGH PAPERS. SUN OFFICE, Half-past Four.

During the night of the 21st the horison in that direction was completely on fire. It is said, the garrison, which is only 13,000 strong has expressed a wish to capitulate, but the Count Die bitsh, convinced that he will be able to take the place by storm, has rejected every proposal of the kind.— Our executive Divan has been summoned by the new Vice President Bosniakow, to provide the means of supporting an army of 90,000 men. Where the money necessary for obeying this order is to come from, it would be difficult to say ; some persons speak! of a project of farming out the whole of the Church Pro perty for a series of years. The contagion continues to rage in all its horrors; the bodies of the dead and dying are continually seen lying in the streets.

VIENNA, JUNE 10.—The Collti Gazette of the 23d of May announces the surrender of Misso longhi and Anatolico to the Greeks, on the 17th May, by capitulation, the terms of which were punctually observed. It is said that a great quan tity of ammunition and cannon, &c. was found in Missolonghi, the Seraskier having left there the greater part of the artillery employed in the siege. After the surrender 3,000 Greeks marched towards Athens, and the remainder to join the troops in Egypt. The Corfu Gazette of the same date also says,— Accounts from Alexandria, received in 17 days, say that the Egyptian land expedition, which was to go to Asia, is deferred. A ship of the line, and four frigates belonging to the Sultan, and twenty cor vettes and brigs belonging to the Pacha of Egypt, were in the port of Alexandria ready for sea, and were to go to Constantinople. The purchases of corn were suspended till the Government should have completed the shipment of 300,000 kilos; for Constantinople, which corn was to be sent to the ports of Asia Minor, near to the Dardanelles.—. Neither Alexandria nor Candia was blockaded. The importation of all kinds of goods, except ammuni tion, and also of troops, into the island, was per mitted. There was a kind of truce between the. Greeks aad Turks. A letter from Corfu, of the 25th May, says, " the blockade of Prevesa and neighbouring coast is raised, in consequence of the Proclamation of the 13th of May ; and on the 15th most of the Greek ships withdrew. However, by way of precaution, the Government here has sig nified that merchantmen bound to Prevent would be convoyed by the Etna. The Ferret brig is also gone to.the coast of Prevesa, for the protection of merchantmen."

His MAJESTY holds a Council this day at' Windsor, at which the KING'S Speech for pro roguing Parliament will be finally arranged. The Duke Of WELLINGTON, the LORD CHANCEL LOR, and most of the Cabinet Ministers, left town about 12 o'clock for the purpose of attend ing the Council. Parliament will not be prorogued till Wednes day, it being found impossible to, get through the remaining business before that day. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office, this 'horning, from Lord STUART DE ROTH SAY, our Ambassador at Paris ; also, from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, at the Hague. The statement in the Court Circular of this morning, that despatches had been received at the Foreign-office from the Hon. R. GoRDoN, announcing the arrival of that gentleman at Con stantinople, is not correct, no such despatches having been received. The Hamburgh Correspondent of the 17th inst., received this morning, gives us the St. Petersburgh version of the late battle fought near Pravodi, in 'fit hich the loss of both parties is esti mated at much the same amount. Accounts from Odessa of the Ist .June state, that 40 ships laden with corn, coming from ports in the Black Sea, had taken advantage of the partial raising of the blockade, and entered the canal of Con stantinople. Thus it appears that the movement of the CAPSTAN PACHA answered the purpose i n tended very effectually : A raw Ear, JUNE 16.—Yesterday the loan of 700,000 florins, for the expenses of our entrepot was opened.

JUNE 10.—(By the steam-boat to Lubeck.)—Detached accoun t s have been received of a victor ions engagement near Pravotii, in which the Grand Vizier, at the head of numerous troops, was defeated by General Roth. General Roth remained master of the field of battle, and took two pair of colours, which General Diebitsch has sent to his Majesty. The enemy left above 2,000 killed and a great number of horses on the field. The animosity with which bath sides fought was such, that only iThe mullah and 45 men were taken prisoners. Our loss was 486 men, 13 officers, 1 Staff-officer, and Major-General Runden killed ; and I Colonel, 2 Lieut.-Colonels, 2 Staff officers, 26 Officers, and 596 privates wounded. Since Silistria was invested, nothing of importance has occurred there. In a trifling sally of the Turks, General Brice Prosorowski was killed by a cannon ball. Some ne w batteries have been erected, and the bridge over the great arm of the Danube is completed; the communica tion over the small arm of the Danube is maintainel by rafts. Li e utenant -General Kreux has opened the road from Silistria to Shumla, and on the 7th (19th) of May, opened a communication with the corps of Gen. Roth, He sends the authentic intelligence, that the Grand Vi zier, confounded at the heroic resistance of so small a corps, bad retreated to Shumla. The Turkish fleet con , sisted of five ships of the line, one frigate, and four cor vettes,—of which one ship of the line, two frigates, and ' one corvette, put out to sea on the 18th of May, and chased one of our cruisers, without success, for ten miles. Our cruisers have captured six merchantmen, notwith standing the vigorous resistance of the crews, and of the inhabitants of the coast, in the bay of Kupin, and de stroyed eight others off port Sibili. ODESSA, JUNE I.—The news of the precipitate retreat of the Capi'an Pacha, into the Bosphorus, is fully confirmed. It seems certain, however, that while his fleet was in the Blacl; Sea, the vessels laden with corn in the ports of Naldia, took advantage of the temporary suspension of the blockade, and succeeded in passing the channel. Above 40 ships from Sinope alone are said to have reached their destination. The Capitan Paella's expedition seems therefore. to have been expressly designed to suspend the blockade, and relieve the want of corn felt. at Constantinople, and coincides with the orders sent to the Pachas in Natolia, to forward their corn by sea to the capital. It is known, however. that several merchantmen have been captured by Admiral Greigh. Tmas, MAY 8 (20).—The following report has been received from Prince Behutow, commander in the pachalik of Akhalzik, addressed to Count Paskewitsch : " Achmed, Pacha of Aschara, and Kotchuck Pacha, who had coll:cted a corps of five thousand men, entered the Sandiakill of Pozechow, and fortified themselves near the village of Zurykali. Immediately en receipt of this news, Colonel Burzow, who, with his de tachment, was at Azehour, marched against the enemy, and totally defeated them on the Ist of May. They were compelled to fly with precipitation to Schawseket and Aschara, and the Turks having made an obstinate resist ance, their loss was considerable. Fifty prisoners were taken when the despatch was sent off, and the detachments sent in pursuit of the enemy continually brought in more." BERLIN, JUNE 14.—The remittance of gold from Persia, hitherto delivered into the Russian mint, amounts to '709 poods in weight, and the silver to 3,000 poods (the pood equal to 36 pounds English). Out of this money a collection of 633 different coins have been found, among which there are golden pieces coined in the year 1095, by Berkyaruk, Sultan of the Seldjouks of Iran, and of the year 1177, coined by Gazi, son of Mandud Atabeck, of the Mossul line. The French Papers of Thursday and Friday contain the particulars of a treaty concluded with Hayti, by which France has extended the pay ment of the debt of the Republic to 40 years. " It is also stipulated, that the Coffee of Hayti shall be admitted into France, by French ships, during the whole of this time, on the pay ment of a duty equal to the average of the im port duty imposed on foreign Coffee, and on the Coffee of the French Colonies." No other privilege shall be given to France beyond other nations. The surrender of the two unfortunate Nea politans by the French Government continNes to excite the just indignation and animadversion of the French Chambers, press, and people. The American Papers bring accounts of the death of the Hon. JOHN JAY, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, under the Federal Constitution, and the friend of WASHINGTON, in the 84th year of his age. The different papers have put themselves in mourning for the death of this venerable Pa triot, which event has left but one survivor of the Convention, which in 1777 framed the Con stitution of the State of New York. The Bunker Hill Advertiser conta;:ns a singular re quest made by the Marquis DE LA FAYETTE, " for a hogshead of earth from Bunker Hill battle. ground, to be placed on his body at his decease." The request is to be complied with. Letters from Vienna, of the 11th June, say that during the hot months the Russians will confine themselves to the sieges of Silistria and Giurgevo, and that in September the grand of fensive operations will take place, while, in the interval immense reinforcements will arrive from the interior of Russia, after being reviewed by the Emperor in person. We should think, if the Russians really mean to have any grand of fensive operations, that they ought not only to be begun but completed in September, for after that period what did they perform last campaign, saving and except their memorably disastrous retreat ? By Hamburgh Papers received last night it appears that the Emperor of RUSSIA, instead of proceeding to the Principalities, has returned to Warsaw. The Coln Gazette announces the surrender of Missolonghi and Anatolico to the Greeks on the 17th May, by capitulation. This, we think, leaves little doubt of the fact. After the sur render 3,000 Greeks marched towards Athens. We perceiVe by the public papers that Mr. BUCKINGHAM, previous to his leaving town for Scotland, is to-morrow to deliveriris last Lecture at the King's Theatre, on the Government, Su perstitions, and Trade of India. We are enabled to state that in the course of his route he intends to be at Birmingham on the 27th,—at Leeds on the 29th,— and at Manchester on the 30th ofJune, —at Liverpool on the Ist,—at Glasgow on the 4th,—and at Edinburgh on the 6th of July.— The rapidity of his journey will not admit of his remaining more than a single night at any one of these places : nevertheless, Mr. BUCKINGHAM Imposes to devote the evening of his stay at each of the towns named, to the delivery of a Public Lecture, embracing new and additional matter on the subject of the India Monopoly, and embodying the principal facts and arguments, on which he invites the supt - ort of all the mer cantile and manufacturing interests of the king dom to his public labours in their cause—accom panied by a detail of the measures now in pro gress, and those recommended for future adop tion, in.order to render its success certain and com plete. Those who have before had an opportu nity of hearing Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S Lectures in the places he has already visited, will, no doubt, gladly avail themselves of this opportunity to refresh their memories, as well as to increase their stock of information, on this important and interesting subject ; and those who have not yet heard the powerful array of unanswerable reasons which can be adduced in favour of his views, will not be likely to neglect so favourable an occasion of judging for themselves how far they are entt tied to public support. His Majesty's Mini sters having now solemnly pledged themselves to advise a recommendation from the Throne for an early enquiry into the whole question, the sub ject becomes one of great national interest, a nd, as such, is entitled to the serious consideration of men of all parties in the kingdom.

The Journal du COX' merce of the 19th June contains a letter from the Consul-General of Spain, which contradicts the un favourable reports relative to the Rentes Perpetuelles, and that their amount had riot been clandestinely in. creased, being only 6,839,100 francs rentes, while the Royal Decree of the Bth March, 1824, allows of a creation to 10,000,000 rentes. The purchases for the Sinking Fund go on daily in the Exchange, and Ilia management of this debt is under a strict controul at Madrid as well as in Paris for the French renter. In the For&gn Market nothing doing as yet, and the prices are nominal. TWO O'CLOCIC.

During the past week the supplies to this market were moderate of all Grain, except of Oats from Ireland, of which there was a large quantity. This morning there is nut much Corn of any kind fresh up, but plenty left from foreign arrivals. The dullness in the Wheat trade conti nues, and to effect sales, even to a limited extent, the fac tors submit to 2s. per quarter reduction from the terms of this day se'nnight. The late seasonable rains have caused all kinds of Spring Corn to become heavy in sale. The prices of Barley are unaltered. Beans and Pease do not maintain their former rates. There is not much doing 10 the Oat trade, and the prices of this article seem inclined , to be lower, but the factors are nnwilling to reduce the prices of such as are good. Flour meets a very heel sale, and a reduction in prices is confidently looked for. ' PRICES ON 80 . Wheat, Red (old) —s. —S. —White (old) —4. —s. ,'18:2:31 sos. IARD OF SHIP.
