IRELAND. THE HEPP.ESCNTATION LIFNDAI.K.-Mr. S. Crawford was in hi.; place in the House oa Tuesday, in thee for the de bate upen the Address. Thus the Hon. Gentleman, for the present, has withdraWn hi 3 resignation, and has placed him self in a c•mdi!lon to give his vete and stolpert"to the Govern ment. Whether he will retire, or continue in Parliament this session, to co-operate with the real, the wisest, and best friends of his country, we are not able to determine. The event, we understand, is made to depend upon the result of. an aggregate meeting of Mr. Crawford's constituents, espe cially convened. And to the letter, containing his re signation, which Mr. Crawf,rd addressed to those gentle men of his constituents who passed the admonitory reso lutions, no answer op the present time, we believe, has been received by the Honourable Member for Dundalk. On the whole, we are inclined to a belief, nor do we less in dulge in the hope, that Mr. Crawford rill perceive that the intuests of Ireland will be best secured by sinking all merely personal considerations, and in an enlightened aim, practically to serve his country. All minor differences ought to, and we trust will, be merged in the great cause now at issue between the Corruptionists on one side and the Reformers, who would do justice to Ireland, on the other. Mr. Crawford cannot but be aware how dangerous disunion among Reformers must be at a crisis so peculiar as the present. We learn from the News Letter that the subject has caused the most intense excitement in Belfast. A writer in this paper throws away a great deal of very superfluous indig nation on the subserviency which he is pleased to impute to the electors. They are, according to this most righteous judge and candid expositor of things past, the mere crea tures of O'Connell, to whose dictation, in the election or re tention of a representative, they must silently succumb. What arrant absurdity is this ! We will, however, let this scribe, over whose eyes bang a film of prejudice so foul and thick, that, for all purposes of proper perception, he might es well he intellectually stone blind—we will let the party pigmy who would wound a great man through the sides of the " naturals" of Dundalk, weave his own web of malig nant sophistry, premising only that our estimate of Mr. Craw ford's virtue and wisdom as a public man is rather height ened than lessened by his taking his scat again in the Rouse on Tuesday. " The test of representative qualification for Dundalk (de clares this dunderheaded scribe) must in future be not prin ciple, not honesty, not any one of the virtues which shed a lustre upon statesmanship, but a blind submission to the com mands of Daniel O'Connell. While we deplore the fact that any portion of our countrymen should be so degraded as to wish their representatives to vote that " black is white," in order to serve a party purpose, we deem it right to tell them in plain terms of the debased nature of the servitude in which they arc held, in order that a sense of their own public disgrace may lead them to free themselves from the chains of intellectual slavery, by which they are now palpably hound. The serfs, we suppose, will at their next public meeting talk about freedom and the other attendant privileges of constitutional independence, but not one of them will dare to oppose O'Connell, however contradictory his mea sures may be to the general principles which they both profess to maintain. It is a miserable illustration of the state of mat tets in Dundalk when the electors refuse, as they have virtually done, to allow their representative to be independent, though they profess to admire his principles and his conduct, but must insist upon his sacrificing the one and accommodating the other to the varying policy of a popular leader. It is passing strange, as we said before, that a man of Mr. Crawford's character should be so treated because he will not descend to the mean ness of becoming a joint of O'Connell's tail, and of stultifying his own. professions, by denying to Ireland a more ample mea sure of what he conceives to be " Justice" than the Tail bearer chooses to be content with ad interim." This and much more of the same silly declamation is spouted forth from the pacific pen of the News Letter—a paper which will be delighted to find another collaborateur in the field ; for the Mail, although more mortified at the prospect of a re concilement of the differences between the divided parties, is not one whit less vituperative. But we will leave the Mail to chew the cud of disappointment, and shall now turn to the more agreeable task of publishing the following letter from Mr. Crawford : " Liverpool, January 30, 1837. " DEAR 51R,.....1 feel it my duty to acquaint you (with re ference to the article in the Register of Saturday morning) that I am now on my way to London, with a view to discharge my duty in the event of a division on the Address, and to prevent the cause of the country being injured by the absence of a vote on that occasion. I shall remain at my post till I receive a communication from the constituent body of Dundalk, that they have put some gentleman in nomi nation as my successor, when I shall vacate in the usual manner. " Your statement of what would have been my probable line of conduct with reference to the Church Bill is merely that which I adopted on former occasions. But under present circumstances I am determined to give no pledge or engage ment, direct or implied, as to the course which I should adopt with reference to any new Tithe Bill. In the event of my hav ing continued in Parliament, I would have acted according to the best of my judgment in the manner most calculated to ad vance the object expressed in the first resolution agreed to by .the National Association, as moved on the report of the com mittee by Mr. O'Connell, and seconded by me. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " WM. SHARMAN CRAWFORD. " To M. Staunton, Esq., Dublin." TITHES.—IMPRISONMENT.— A most important case was tried in the Court of Chancery last Tuesday, the 31st Jan. Mr. E. Bullen applied to the Chancellor to discharge a poor old man upwards of 70, from the gaol of Cork, where he has lain for the last two years and a half, unknown and forgotten, contrary to all laws, human, statutable, or divine. The Dublin Evening Post justly observes that the opinion of the Chancellor on this question is most important. He has declared that every hour in which these wretched victims of a cruel system have been allowed to linger in gaol has been false imprisonment, and that all the parties concerned are liable to actions at law for this, the greatest offence that can be committed against the liberty of the subject. There never was a more flagrant case than the one in question—for notices were regularly served upon the gaoler, informing him of the illegality of his conduct, and yet with a plain and simple Act of Parliament staring him in the face, he persisted in detaining his prisoners, until the kind and voluntary interference of another rescued them from his g rasp. We trust that these monstrous cases o f oppress i on will form the subject of official investigation. POOR LAWS.—At a public meeting of the ancient parish of St. .Michan's, the following resolution was passed :—" That not only the marked thanks of the inhabitants of St. Michan's parish, which we hereby tender, but the gratitude...of the na tion, is due to the Rev. Thaddzeus O'Malley, for his able and unanswerable arguments in favour of the Irish poor, and for having brought the subject before the public in a manner emi nently calculated to insure its ultimate success." _ _ GREAT MEETING.—On Tuesday last, the men of Bargy and West Shilmalicr held a meeting, for the purpose of peti tioning Parliament for the total abolition of tithes, and a full measure of Municipal Reform ; also to express their undimi nished confidence in the Government of Lord Mulgrave, and to mark their indignant reprobation of the insult offered the Irish people by Lord Lyndhurst. This titled libeller of the Irish people may read with what feelings he pleases the following resolution which was adopted at the meeting := _ Resolved—That the practice of inundating► the House of Lords with selfish adventurers, without property, character, or public services, merely on account of political subserviency and prostitution, is calculated to alter the nature of our ancient peerage ; to degrade it in public estimation ; to impair its value as an incentive to great actions in public men ; to en danger the liberties of the 1,231)1C ; to overturn the balance of the Constitution ; and, tiny to disturb and dissever the em pire ; and that we deem Cie ".istance of John Baron Lyndhurst to be emphatically of that character." PROTEST AND DECLARATION.— We have the satisfaction this day (Jan. 31) of adding three names to the crushing Protest and Declaration of the Liberal Peers :—The Earl of nowt'', the Earl of Arran, and Lord Viscount Netterville.— Dublin Evenihy Pugt. NATIONAL TRADES.-With the exception of a very few, the members of this body have been laid up with the prevailing epidemic, and, in consequence, their usual weekly meeting was not held. This fact may, perhaps, be accounted for by the late hours they usually hold th e ir mee ti ngs . ' AFFAIR OF ilowora.—A meeting 'in hostile array" was anticipated on Saturday last, in Galway, between G. Marten, Esq., a solicitor, of that town, and T. Blake, Esq., of Menlo Castle. The latter gentleman, under the advice of his friend, Richard M. Lynch, Esq., having publicly made an ample written apology, the matter terminated to the satisfaction of all parties. Ma. CLAYTON BROWNE.-Mr. Clayton Browne, who quoted at the last Orange meeting a fabricated report of Mr. O'Connell's speech at the Carlow dinner, is likely to obtain a very unenviable notoriety in connection with the " ingenious device." We arc informed that " a meeting is in contempla tion to give expression to the opinions of the people respect ing the conduct of Mr. Browne on this occasion, and to repel the calumny against Mr. O'Connell, as well as against themselves." TUMULT AT TII2 THEATRE.—The unseemly violence in which the Orange confederacy who recently celebrated their orgy at the Mansion house indulged, has found a responSive ruffianly outbreak ; for some fellows, emulating the example of the sot disant Protestants, have not he-;itatecl to insult the represen tative of his Majesty. The following report of the proceed ings in the Colleg e-street Police O ffi ce, last Tuesday, is copied from the Dublin Papers :—Thomas Mawe, alias Marly, of 65, William -street, James Irwin, 53, .Marlborough-street, Graham P. Halpen, 14, Seville-place, and Francis Walker, 31, Ex chequer-street, attended this office, to answer the charge pre ferred against them by. Peace-officer Roberts, of the Head Office of Police, for noisy and excessively violent conduct in the middle gallery of the theatre, 4 the preceding evening. Ile stated that between ten and eleien o'clock his attention was attracted to a corner of the theatre, where about thirteen gentlemen had ensconced themselves, and were shouting party cries, keeping up the Kentish fire, acid hissing and groaning the Lord Lieutena n t, w h o was present. This conduct on th e* part of the prisoners, called forth a counter declaration of feeling on the side of the Liberals. Roberts, in the execu tion of his duty, remonstrated with those of the latter party who were immediately near him, and they had the good sense to attend to his admonitions. He then went over to the gen tlemen, to try his powers of persuasion ; but he had scarcely opened his lips when he was saluted by a volley of aristocratic oaths—they would break his bones--d—n the scbundrel—and other gentlemanlike epithets. Roberts, however, singled out two o f th e most prominent, and conducted them to the watchhouse ; four of their companions went along with them, and as soon as Roberts got the batch in he charged the entire, to the amazement and indignation of the heroes. They left uffieient guarantees for their appearance in the morning, and retired, threatening vengeance. Four of them attended, and two proved recreant. Mr. Calcraft, the lessee, attended, and the ceurage of the heroes, seeing things likely to turn out seri uely, li1:- Bob Acres, oozed out at their fingers' ends ; they (-raved pardon, and entreated Mr. Caleraft not to proceed eganist them ; but their conduct had been so violent, and their behaviour so indecent, that it would not allow of remission. '['he four that attended were obliged to find bail to stand their trial at the approaching commission, and warrants have been i sued for the apprehension of the remaining two. PARTY FALhEHOODS.—A day or two ago we reported the calumny which, for party purposes, Mr. Clayton Browne and his followers attempted to fasten on the lion. Member for Kilkenny. The lie, however, is too 'nod to be laid aside until it hae done the work of the faction. The Molt, dcspit.e irre "ragnble evidence to the contrary, and in the teeth of Mr. O'Connell's denial, refutes to believe that the speech of the lion. and Learned Gentleman at Carlow did not deal out blood and damnation. When the lie is no longer serviceable, the professed belief in it, and the flagitiously false report, will, we suppose, be given up altogether, and simultaneously sink. Such a course of political warfare is both disgusting and dis graceful. Caer.ow.—A Mr. Bunbury is in the field for Carlow, as the opponent of Ycates. THE INFLUENZA.—When the cholera was at - . its height in Dublin we question much whether the daily amount of mor tality was equal to what it is at present. We are informed that for the last fortnight the average number of interments daily, in Prospect Cemetery alone, was forty- six. The Mail of last night says—" It has been calculated that about a thou sand funerals took place within the bills of mortality on Sunday last." We do not remember worse weather than the present. It is cold, dark, and damp; snow on Saturday, rain on Sun day, darkness and mist on yesterday ; and still even those who confine themselves to their houses arc not exempt from the attacks of this violent epidemic. The King's Speech arrived in Dublin at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday. BRIGHTON.

The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o'clock. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1837. The House of Lords met at five o'clock yesterday. Lord MINTo laid upon the table the Report of the Commissioners on the State of Religious Education and Church Accommodation in Scotland.' Lord BItOUGHAbt presented a Bill to promote Education, and to regulate the administration of Charitable Funds. By the present propoSed Bill a provision is made for a Board to superintend the distribution of all funds in tended for the purposes of education, and to prevent a misappropriation of charitable funds. The Noble and Learned Lord also introduced two other Bills, on the suhject of Pluralities ; anti for the establishment of Local Courts. An adjournment was then moved, when Lord CLONCURRY rose, and zealously defended the General Association of Ireland from the charges which had been brought against that body on Tues day evening during the debate on the Address. In allusion to the equally absurd and atrocious notion of re-conquering Ireland by the sword, his Lordship declared his conviction that if such an attempt were made, "many of the countries of Europe, and certainly America, would hasten to the succour of the oppressed." He also " thought it his duty to warn their Lordship, against letting loose a licentious soldiery, that could never be kept within proper bounds." Lord CLONCURRY also denounced the late Pro testant Mansion-house meeting. The declaration made by the Noble Lord in the course of his speech, that " the present Government RcA: orr, ANGLE SEY and that of the Marquis of WELLESLEY, as who in had, for the first time, endeavoured to do justice to in stanced acteidd, " the ca g l o le : l ern ti n p lent Lo o r f dßoti r H ciui the Marquis being animated by equally just views, and by a similar beneficent spirit. Lord CLONCURRY readily admitted the high merits of the two distinguished individuals referred to, and regretted that their good intentions were counteracted by their Secretaries. The House of Commons met at four o'clock. After Mr. HOUSTON, the new Member for Renfrewshire, had taken the oaths and his scat, several petitions from various parts of the kingdom, praying for the total and unqualified abolition of Church Rates, were pre sented. Mr. HUME gave notice of a motion for several papers relating to Canada ; and Lord ASH.. LEY, of a Bill to alter and amend the Factory Act. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, having obtained leave, brought in a Bill to suspend for four months the operation of the Marriage Act, and the Act for the Registration of i ~r,t .Lus. The Report of the Commissioners on Church Accommodation was laid upon the table. On the motion of Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN, a Bill for abolishing certain sinecure offices in the Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Ex chequer was introduced, and read a first time. TheATTortNEY-G ENERAL haviiw, obtained leave, brought in a•Bill to amend the Municipal Corporation Act. On the motion of Mr. MAcLEAN, a return of the stores presented to the Queen of SPA IN, and of the vessels of war employed on the northern coast of Spain, was ordered. The House shortly after adjourned. We are delighted to see Lord BROUGHAM again actively engaged i❑ the cause of Reform. His Lord ship, last night, moved the first reading of a Bill which he had introduced the Session before last, but which was not pressed through the House of Peers—namely, a Bill for promoting Education and for regulating Chr rities. He also moved the first reading of two other Bills—the first, to prevent Pluralities ; and the second, to establish Local Courts of Justice. 'Phis is an auspi cious commencement, and proves that the " fore most man of the age " is just as vigorous, just as uncompromising as ever,- in his zeal for the cause of the people. Lord BROUGHAM is one of our " towers of strength." Our re liance on him has never known abatement, nor our conviction of his overwhelming influence in the cause of national reform. We missed him sadly last year, when Lord LYNDHURST was carrying every thing his own way in the Peers ; but now that he is once again in the field, greatly indeed shall we be mistaken, if he do not make that " Whig and some thing more" sprig of aristocracy quake in every limb. Lord CLONCURRY made some sensible and perti nent remarks last night in the House of Lords on the subject of the Irish National Association. " I think," said he, " that it does not deserve the blame which has been attached to it ; but on the contrary, I think that it ought to be called the Association for the Vin dication of the wrongs of Ireland. It was instituted for the protection of Ireland. It has no other object than the good of that country, and, if possible, for its good in connection with its sister country. The peo ple of Ireland had been unjustly denied their rights. The great object of the Association was to get rid of one of the greatest evils which had long afflicted that country ; and in all parts, as far as he under stood, a class of persons had been formed to keep the peace." These observations were, as a matter of course, received with laughter by the Tory faction in the House, on which Lord CLON CURRY observed, " Noble Lords might laugh, but it was no laughing matter, and it might become very much the contrary, if respect were not paid to the claims of the Irish nation." This laughter, on the part of the Tory Peers at the mention of the wrongs of Ireland, is per fectly in keeping with their character. NERO fiddled while Rome was burning. But is it discreet in their Lordships to betray the cloven foot so soon ? Ireland is quick to take a hint ; and sure we are she will not lose sight of the insult passed on her last night, but, on the contrary, read in it a fore-type of the des tiny that awaits her at the hands of the Tory oligarchy, when her demand for equal justice shalt come formally before them for recognition. We advise Ireland by all means to bear in mind the aris tocratic " laughter" of last night. More particularly do we advise the Association to look to it, and to consider whether ridicule is the way in which its pa cific but energetic proceedings should be treated. Laughter" indeed I Truly, the wrongs of seven millions of his MAJESTY'S subjects are a fit theme for "laughter I" But let the Tory Lords beware. They are in a very critical position ; and " laughter " becomes them just as much as it would a man who was hovering on the brink of a precipice. In allusion to the present Government, Lord CLoNCURRY—who, by the-bye, is one of Ireland's stanchest and most influ ential friends—remarked, that it was " the first which had ever attempted to do justice to the sister coun try." This is no glossy compliment, but a strict, unvarnished truth. Lords WELLESLEY and AN GLESEY both endeavoured to befriend the interests of Ireland ; but they were Kings with Viceroys over them ; their best efforts being constantly counteracted by the faction who had official spies and agents at the Castle, as elsewhere. To all intents and purposes, therefore, the present is the first Government that ever really promoted the welfare of the sister-country, and long may it continue to do so I With regard to the Association, which the Tory Lords profess to hold in such sovereign contempt, we can tell them that it is one which will yet shake them in their "pride of place," and compel them to exchange the laugh of de rision for the sigh of unavailing repentance. We perceive that a meeting of Churchwardens, Overseers, and Vestry Clerks, connected with various parishes in the City of London, had a meeting yes terday, for the purpose of opposing the introduction of the New Poor Law into the City. With this view they passed certain resolutions, embodying their views of the probable working of the new system in the me tropolitan parishes, and stating their reasons for opposing the contemplated plan of a London Poor Law Union, were passed, though not unanimously, by a large ma jority of those present. Notwithstanding the specious appearance of philan thropy and disinterestedness which the speeches deli vered and the resolutions passed at this meeting exhi bit, it is easy to see that there is at bottom a good deal of soreness—wounded dignity shall we say—and, probably unconscious selfishness. The gentlemen who attended this meeting were all of them" men in authority,' and many of them receiving salaries, which must cease with the presentsystem. Isit wonderful, then, that they should see neither beauty nor benefit in that which puts an extinguisher at once on their parochial im portance, and on their parochial emoluments ? We cannot think it is. And we say this without im puting to them any greater blindness, or obliquity of vision, than belongs to the generality of mankind. The Churchwardens, Overseers, and Vestry-Clerks assembled on this occasion complain that they have not been consulted by the Poor Law Commissioners, as to the propriety of applying the new law, to Lon don. They ought to feel no mortification at this cir cumstance. No slight was, or could be, intended towards them. If the Commissioners preferred communicating with the Common Councilmen of the different wards of the City, it was because they thought that from these gentlemen they were more likely to receive an un biassed opinion, than from those whose feelings and prejudices might naturally be supposed to influence their judgment. And in acting thus, we think the Commissioners pursued a course that will meet with general approbation. The Common Council, the repre sentative and the legitimate organ, of the rate-payers, has by a public vote approved of the introduction of the New Poor Law into the City of London ; and we cannot help thinking—with all due respect to the gen tlemen who met yesterday to resist that measure—that the opinion of that body is of far greater weight, and, at the same time, a much surer index of the senti ments of their Constituents on this subject than theirs can possibly be. We invite the attention of Parliament and the British people generally, to the details of the capture of the English brig Vixen, which we this day insert in another part of The Sun. We trust the Government wiil lose no time in bringing the subject of this ag gression before the House of Commons. We have much pleasure in pointing attention to the report of a Meeting which took place yesterday, simul taneously with the great one in London, on the all-absorbing question of Cu U itC 11-R ATES, at Notting ham. The crowded state of our columns will not admit of much observation upon this important Meeting ; but the Ministry and the Legislature cannot fail to see that a spirit has been roused which will only he pacified by the full and unprejudiced attainment of its rightful demands. While on this subject, we any remark that we have received several communications from gentlemen, dele gates and others, who were pre:ent at the meeting in London, expressive of their astonishment and adrnira Lion at " the fidelity and extended length of the re port, and the marvellous rapidity with which it had been produced." Some of the Delegates express " their gratitude for the unvarying zeal and ability with which the cause of the Dissenters has been advocated in The Sun," with much more to our praise than we think fit to insert. We know that we have done our best for the cause ; and we are glad that it can now fight its own way, without our assistance. While we cordially thank our correspondents for their good opinion, we beg leave to add that The Sun has only done its duty. The Paris Papers of Wednesday are as barren of intelligence as those of the two preceding days. The influenza is dangerously prevalent in every part of the capital, and has already proved fatal in a variety of instances. The Police continue to fill the prisons with the suspected, so that personal liberty is virtually abolished in Paris. No man must enjoy a right to his freedom, lest theKlNG's life should be endangered thereby. Such are the fruits of the revolutionary tree planted by LAFAYETTE and the heroes of July. Letters from San Sebastian of the 26th, and from Bayonne of the 28th ult. have been received. Some English steamers had proceeded to Portugalette, to take on Loard Generallt LB Et rw's division, and convey them to San Sebastian. General ESPARTERO is said to be seriously indisposed. His illness was brought on by the sudden death of a beloved and only nephew—the last surviving branch of his family. Notwithstanding the boasted vigilance of the French Government, military stores and provisions in abun dance are hourly permitted to cross the frontier. The Carlist correspondent of our Contemporary the Post, writes from Irun (Guipuzcoa) under date of the 24th ult.—" Stores are pouring in at every point of the frontier, all the little villages on the line being lite rally choked up with waggons laden with provisions destined for the Carlist camp. Scarcely an hour passes without my witnessing the arrival of military stores, this place being the grand depot for contributions from France." And in another place he says—" the muni tions of war, and all supplies arrive, via France." It is true that the same writer talks of the increased vi gilance of the gensdarmes since the raising of the siege of Bilboa ; but what kind of vigilance is it that allows such a traffic as this ? The Queen of SPAIN has not a worse enemy than the King of the FRENCH. Did he not command M. DUCHATEL rather to en courage than to abate this system of extensive smug gling, it would have terminated at the very commence ment of the civil war. Unless England guard the frontier, which she could do by means of a very small force, Don CARLOS will never be starved out of the Basques. But bad as is the traffic in provisions, it is really excusable compared with the smuggling of heavy guns. Where are these guns procured ? Certainly not in France without the cognizance of the Go vernment. There was a rumour in Paris that England had agreed with the Spanish Government to send ten thousand troops to Spain, and to grant a subsidy of six millions of francs monthly for their support. Marshal SouL•r tells everybody that he will not ac cept office. M. TRIERS declares the reason to be, that the KING declines his services at the Council- Board. On the night of the 23d ult. the shock of an earthquake was felt in various parts of Switzerland. FRENCH kUNDS.-:-PAitts, 1. Five per Cents., 1091, 20c. 15c. 25c.

TIER MOST FAITHFUL MAJESTY'S SPEECH ON OPENING THE SESSION OF TIIE CORTES, JANUARY 26, 1837. Senhores,—ln satisfaction of the wish expressed b y my subjects, I have convoked the General, Extraordinary, and Constituent Cortes of the Portuguese nation. It is now 16 years since Portugal witnessed the meeting of an assembly so distinguished as the present. The Cotes of 182 i, keeping in view the anci en t fundamen tal laws of the monarchy, and the new so c i a l necessities, framed a Constitution which was spontaneously accepted an d sworn to by my august grandfather, of blessed memory. After a few months of experience, a great part of the nation called for some alterations and modifications in the new funda. mental law, in order to bring it into harmony with the princi ples of the other constitutional monarchies of Europe. The promise made by my august grandfather in his proclama tion of the 31st of May, 1823, could not be carried int o e ff ect during the life of that venerable monarch. For this reason the Constitution of 1822, though lost as a fundamental law of these kingdoms, never ceased to live in the memory and the hearts of good Portuguese. On the accession of my august father to the th rone there existed almost no hopes of its speedy redemption. Neverthe less, of thetgenerousa King, hisndexcellen father, Prince,t an d to fulfil a prom i se wishing to d o h onour otleoftie memory solemn a nature, published the constitutional charter of the 29th of April, 1826, which the nation received, with tran sports of the most ardent enthusiasm. But I must not re-open wounds not yet completely cica trised, by calling to your recollection the horrors of a period of misfortunes and crimes. His Imperial Majesty, at the head of a few loyal Portuguese, achieved the most brilliant enterprise of modern times. He struck down tyranny ; ho restored to me the usurped throne ; he gave freedom to the nation delivered from oppression ; and after having fulfilled his virtuous mission, he ascended to the dwellings ofthe know just. You all the causes which gave birth to th e i mportant events of the 9th and 10th of September. The worthy and excellent Portuguese people were of opi nion that it was necessary to revert to the origin of all legal power; and for the remedy of their evils and the relief of their sufferings they have looked only to the wisdom of the con stituent Congress. It is with singular satisfaction I now see myself surrounded by the representatives of the nation. I trust that y ou will make those alterations and modifications in our constitutional 1 1 institutions which the new wants and lights of the present epoch have rendered necessary. In this way you will consoli date public liberty and public happiness, to accomplish which is the principal object of my thoughts and my cares. During the inevitable recess of the legislative body, my Government was bound to employ the most suitable means fcr maintaining peace and harmony among my subjects, and the liberty, the honour, and the independence of the nation. From the reports which the Secretaries of State have pre pared to be submitted to your consideration, you will be able to judge of the propriety of the measures which have been adopted. In spite of the difficulties with which the Government has been surrounded, every precaution has been taken, with the view that my subjects might enjoy perfect liberty and security, and the complete protection of the laws. Order, con tidence, and public credit have revived under a refit ming Administration—an Administration sincerely pledged to maintain the authority of the laws, and to diminish the public expenditure and burdens, without thereby retarding the benefits to be derived from a combined system of progress and amelioration. My Government has made some reforms in legislation which appeared indispensable, and which the stile of the country loudly demanded. You will pronounze judgment on the utility of those reforms, as well as of the alterations and , amendments which they may require. The state of the public finances merits assuredly your most serious attention, and my Government will concur with you in a system of rigorous economy. But, the necessary reductions being made, I confide in your patriotism, that you will vote and provide the necessary ways and means for meeting the current expenditure, and the charges and engagements for which the nation is bound at home as well as abroad. I continue to receive proofs of friendship from the nations with which I am allied. My Government has fulfilled the stipulations which bind us to the cause of Spain, in virtue of existing treaties. The auxiliary division has sustained the honour of the Portu guese arms, and has performed services valuable to the'Crown, and to the freedom of the two Peninsular nations. Senhores,—ln your prudence, patriotism, and wisdom, the country entirely confides, and it is not necessary for me to as sure you of my sincere desire to see the liberty and independ ence of this gallant nation solidly guaranteed. Brussels and German Papers have been received. The former notice in terms of strong indignatien the capture of the English brig Vixen by Russia, and ex press hopes that Great Britain will retaliate.: the latter dwell upon the prevalence of influenza and small pox throughout the lesser German States. Never was the Continent of Europe more generally afflicted with sickness. LLOYD'S SIIIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, FEB. 2.—Arrived, the Herald, Robinson, from Bel. fast.

The Tamaric, Kane, from Liverpool to New York, was driven on shore on Long Island on the 4th of Jan., and it is feared would not be got off—crew and passengers saved, and most of the cargo expected to be savod. The following was yesterday received at Lloyd's : " Admiral Fob. 1 " Sir,—.l am comman d ed by my Lords Commi ty, ssioner s . of the Admiralty, to transmit to you, for the information-of the Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's an extract of a despatch from the Government of Madras, dated the 3d Sept. last, to Vice- Admiral the Hon. Sir T. B. Capel, Comman der-in-Chief of his Majesty's 'ships and vessels in the East Indies, by which it appears that the crew of the British brig Zoroaster, had mutinied and murdered the master and his wife, a boy, and a lascar ; and further, that they had sunk the vessel, and landed at Pedir, on the west coast of Sumatra. (Signed) " C. WOOD." THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY. 7' WEL VE O'CLOCK. We copy the following from a New York paper of Jan. 9, received this morning : " COMMERCIAL RECORD. —lf the price of Stocks forms any criterion to judge of the state of the Money Market, things must be getting a little easier in Wall -street. Nearly every thing went up, on Saturday, from to If per cent. Money at 2 per cent. a month, and Stocks rising 2 per cent. A day, is rather an unprecedented state of things in Wall-street history." We have received Montreal papers to Jan. 3, and Quebeo to Dec. 28. We extract the following from the Upper Canada papers :—" It was expected that the Assembly would adjourn over this week, from the 22d inst. until Monday next. " Last Tuesday night, and during the whole of Wednesday, we had a tremendous gale of wind, which did considerable damage."

We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the Bth Dec. In a private letter fromithe frontier, dated Nov. 24, we find some notice of the present appearance of the country near Algoa Bay :—" I enjoyed," says the writer, "my visit to the Bay. It was going into a new world. Abundance of fine cattle, with flocks of woolled sheep, were a treat to the eye ; but I saw very little cultivation. The appearance of the country is grand beyond description, and the rains have been copious." We have Madras Papers to the 16th October. They an nounce the arrival on Tuesday morning of the ship Trueßriton, having on board the new Ambassador-in-Chief, Sir Peregrine Maitland, and his family. His Excellency left the True Briton under a salute from that ship, and on landing was re ceived by the troops. We have just received a New York Paper of the 10th Ja nuary. It does not contain any political news. Market Bills in England were at 91- prem. The packet for Havre was detained. The New Brunswick papers - to the 11th Jan. state that, the House of Assembly, in committee of the whole, on Friday, went into consideration of the dispatches of his Excellency, Sir Archibald Campbell to Lord Glenclg, on the subject of the Crown Revenues and the Civil List. Mr. Partilon brought forward several resolutions in reply to the objections made by Sir Archibald, which were very favourably received by the House, but the question for adopting them was not put, owing to:the lateness of the Lour. Consols opened this morning, as they closed yesterday, at 891 for the Account ; Money, 893-4. Late yesterday after noon a material improvement took place in Consols, owing to a report that Ministers intended to fund five millions'of Ex chequer Bills ; as well as to the Bank Directors having broke up without coming to any determination, respecting the rate of interest from five to five and a half per cent. Exchequer Bills have improved to 25 27 ; India Bonds, 19 21 ; Bank Stock, 207 208; India Stock , 258 259.

Zurbano commanded 500 men and 20 cavalry. Gen. Garcia quitted Estella on the 19th inst., with the battalion of guides. We do not hear anything further mentioned at present re sepecting the sale of the Dead Weight, or the funding of Exchequer Bills. Not even a report is afloat, consequently the Funds remain steady at the morning's prices. Consols may be quoted at 894 R for the Account ; Money 894, with little doing in either of the mar k ets.
