LISBON, Fen. 13.—1 n the sitting of the Cortes of the 10th, Senhor Moura rose and said, he had a motion .which he wished to place upon the table to be examined ; that it was intimately connected with the public security and the pre sent state of things ; and he desired it might be decided whether it should be immediately read. The Assembly resolved by acclamation that the lion. Member should rend it. SenhorMoura continued as follows : " According to the accounts which we have just received from rEngland, it seems beyond a doubt that the French Cabinet assumes a really hostile attitude towards Spain.— The Speech of the King at the openinkr of . .o , e Session is verrelear, whatever meaning, more or less extensive, may be given to it. [From the Constitationnel of Friday.] " The war with Spain cannot be too much examined in all its relations. There is one which ought to fix the attention of the Government and its subjects.—This war appears to us to bring the Restoration into conflict with principle—we had almost said, with the conditions of its existence. By proving this, we shall give warning, while there yet is time, to the Ministry of errors, to the Throne of dangers—that is to say, to the nation of calamities. George Clarke, Esq.

MEMOI R E S of BEN VN UTO CELLI NI. Written by himself. The Third Edition, revised, trop the Italian, with Notes. fly THOMAS ROSCOE, Esq. " The intimacy of Cellini'with Michael Angelo, Titian, and all the great Italian Sculptors and Painters of the age ; . his con nexions with Francis I. of France, the Emperor Charles V., Popes Clement VII. and Paul 111., and many of the Princes, Statesmen, and Ecclesiastics of that turbulent age, afforded him opportunities of making the most interesting observations, anti perhaps no man was ever more capable of availing himself of such advantages. Of those great and prominent characters, who then disposed of the destinies of mankind, Cellini gives us at every turn, a transient but distinct view, a glimpse which displays them in their private domestic moments, when they little thought they were sitting fur their portraits, to one whose pen was no l ess effectively descriptive, than his pencil was strikingly imitative."--(Preface.) " Cellini was one of the most extraordinary men in an ex traordinary age; his Life, written by himself, is more amusing than any Novell know."--(HoracelValpole.) Printed for Henry Colburn and Co. Conduit-street. - THE COLONIES. CANADA. We have received the Quebec Gazelles to the 16th ult. inclusive, and from which we shall give shortly some extracts. Extract of a . ktter dated ilmherstburg, U. C. Dec. 1822. " There has been some stir this winter in consequence of the Tobacco trade. NeXt Spring I think there will not be less than one hundred Hogsheads shipped from hence. The Lower Ca nada Merchants will soon have to find us other markets than Montreal and Quebec, for the quantity will increase at least tenfidd the yea r aft er ." The information contained in the above extract is very im t:tt, and comes from an authentic source. The To ea:is said to be even of a better quality than Virginian, and will probably soon become another valuable staple in the commerce of his Majesty's - North American Colonies. To lessen the expellee of bringing it to market, a canal i communication between the Lakes Erie a nd Ontari o s re quisite. We are happy to observe that this subject be gins row to excite the public attention, and we trust it will not be lost sight of until fully accomplished. A prac ticable water communication by way of the St. Lawrence from the Atlantic to the great Lakes, would speedily develops the vast commercial resources of Upper Canada, and augment the demand fot . British manufactures in remote parts of Arne rice, now rapidly increasinin population and wealth. Per. Imps no Country in the worl ds favoured with such natural fad. lities for a great inland navigation as the Cantulas; and cer tainly nn country offers greater inducements for the investment of Stock to be applied to the 'removal of such obstructions as exist. QUEBEC, JAR. 16.—0 n Saturday last at 10 o'clock, the Honourable Colonel De Salabarry, accompanied by the Hon. curable Mr. Justice Bowen and the Honourable Colonel Tas. chereau, with the other Members of the Committee of the Inhabitants of this District,. petitioning against The Legisla tures of the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. waited by appointment on his Excellency the . o overnor.in-Chief on the part of the said Committee, and of the Committees of the other District of this Province, with the Petition of the Inhabitants of Lower Canada, against the said bill, praying His Excellency to transmit the said petition to be laid at the foot of the Throne, when His Excellency was pleased to comply with their wishes and inform the Committee, thdt he had caused a dispatch to be prepared on the same terms as- that which had accom panied the petitions in favour of the said Bill, and that it would be delivered tq the Committee.—This day Mr. Neilson, one of the Agents of the petitioners, left this City with the petitions on his way to join the other agents, and proceed to England via New lork. " And can we suppose that this war being made against principles, it is not made directly against Portugal, when Por tage has adopted the same principles, and labours together with Spain to destroy absolute power, and consolidate the sys tem of a temperate Monarchy with a constitution and national representation ? Whu can suppose it ? Only he who is blind, or who purposely shuts his eyes. " It is therefore necessary that the true Portuguese patriots should consider as the enemy of their institutions, and conse quently of their independence, the first French soldier who shall set his foot on the south side of the Pyrenees . and -in this case it is imperiously nec e s sar y not on l y to organize t the forces necessary for.our defence, but likewise to provide means for the support of the defenders. " Whatever may be the means at the disposal of the Go vernment for this purpose, I am of opinion that every thing is necessary when - we have to support a cause so noble and of such general interest ; and I therefore propose-- "'hat the Diplomatic Committee (or another app o i nte d f or the purpose), asking th e necessary information, or conferring with the Ministers of the King in person, shall form its opinion on the following points, afterwards to report to the -Cortes, which shall deliberate on this Report;-- " 1. Whether, besides the :Military force which the Cortes have tletermined, it will be necessary to form innue4iiitely corps of reeervetif 20 or 25 battalions of light troops. • 2. Whether the Cortes can be informed how fur the treaty• of defensive alliance with 'Spain is advanced, and what are the. obstacles to its final conclusion. " 3. Whether it will be proper immediately to form a pa tional guard for the 'emulous cities of Lisbon and Oporto, to do the necessary duty for the public security, in case the re gular troops should have to take the field. " 4. Whether it is necessary to provide for the public secu rity, and prevent its being interrupted, by stronger and more efficacious nieans. When the French Cabinet resolves to in. vade Spain with 50,000 or. 100,000 men, it must necessaryy. place much dependence on intestine enemies, who represent as easy to subjugate their country ; and, perhaps; only wish for support. " 5. What are the means which the Cortes ought to give to the Government,- to enable it to put in practice the most rigor ous system of defence, not only to pay the troops, and supply them with ammunition and provisions, but likewise to give rc wards to those whose services shall merit them. " I farther propose, that the Committee shall give , its opi- Ilion to the Cortes on these points (and any others which it may judge proper,) Ulan extraordinary sitting, within three days at the farthest ; that it shall be then considered which of those measures sliall be discussed in public, and which hi secret sit- - tings ; and that those sittings be then immediately fixed by the President, that the Deputies may have time to reflect on this interesting subject. (Signed) " JOAQUIN FERREIIIA DE 3IOURA. ". Palace of the Cort9s, Feb. 10, 11123." The honourabl e M em b er proposing that his motion should • be considered as urgent, was supported by above two thirds of the Members, who rose at once; it was therefore read a se cond time, and the mover supported it in a speech, in which be observed, " that though the danger seemed remote, yet it was proper to think of preparing against it, while we have time to. consider maturely. " The last scene of the drama seems to have arrived, which three oppressive Powers have exhibited in various European Congresses, since the time of their first meeting at Vienna in 1815. This last scene tends to show the ittet efforts or barba rism agai.• -t civilization, and at' tyranny against li bertY• " France, instigated by an ithplacable faction, attempts to interfere by arms in the internal atrairs of Spain; Portugal (though nut named) is included in this aggression, since it is not their territory, but principles, th at are t h e ob j ect o f this insolent, hyp ocr i t i ca l, an d most unjust attempt. " And while Spain is providing arms, people, ammunition, and money, shall we be still ? is,o. it is necessary to show to every bod y y that the analogyof the institutions of the two Pe ninsulal. Powers has made them Contract a bond of the strictest alliance, for their common defence against the barbannes ty. ranny of the European oligarchs, and that one of them must rise in the defence of the. other, since the independence of one cannot perish without the destruction of the independence of the other. " " What do these Kings seek ? Th ey tell us very clearly. No comment is necessary. They seek to consolidate- the system of sereiiimei, to replace on the throne of privileges civil aristocracy and sacerdotal aristocracy. Neither Spain nor Portugal can suffer. this. I, at least, will die in the struggle; anti, content to sacrifice my life, to so noble a cause, I prefer death to any concession in this respect. " Consequently, let us proceed to filets, and leave the mighty sounds of loquacity. Force and means —this is the object of our dints. To make it plan for a great force is nothing—we must provide effectual means for its subsistence: We have a deficit in the current expences ; we cannot, therefore, expect those means from the Treasury : still less can wo expect them • from the people, who are burdened ; or from the merchants, who are distressed. Let us apply, then, to the rich and pri vileged classes; those who have hitherto lived by - privileges ought to provide for the expellees which are necessary to us. MI this should he included in the report of the .Clommitteet I reserve myself till then : we shall see whether there ate means, and whether there is force to go and seek them where they to be found." It being resolved by the above two-thirds of the Assembly, that the motion should be immediately discussed, it wa s sup ported by Messrs. Borges Cerneiro, tie Silveira (this Mem. ber proposed to keep at home the expedition intended for Brazil), Fonseca Rangel, Castello Branco, and other Meintiere. It wa.,l resolved rim refer the motion to a Special Committee. In the same sitting,. M. Castello Branco proposed to suepejed the expedition to Bahia. The Assembly resolved not to t plit this proposal to the vote. M. Pereira Pinto proposed, first, that all citizens frcien the age of 10 to 25, an t i qua lifi e d f or t h e serv i ce; are liable to be taken as recruits ; secondly, the corps of militia shall kie raised without delay to the full complement, according to 0.,e regula. tion.—Remained for the second reading. Senhores Imvies Manner°, Fonseca Range), JO, e Liberaeo, Bernardo da Silviera, and :Ileum, were appointea. members of the Committee to report on the motion of Sr. Altrara. In the Name sitting, Sr. Joao Francisco di,: Oliviera, after allowing, in a.long and unimatetl discourse, 'ay.:impropriety of representing the Brazilian Provinces as in rel3illion, read a long motion, tending to the rene wa l o f Amicable t.nd commercial re lations without loss of time. In the sitting of the 12th Sr. Maned de !Awed° brought for. ward a motion, which was referred to the= Committee appointed to consider that of Sr. Moura, to the effect that all Commanders of the four Military Orders should give', up.to the Public Tree. sury three parts of the net receipts of flair Commanderies; the Ecclesiastical Corporetions, three pi rts of their revenues ; the Bishops arid Archbishops, the excee's of their revenue Itbour four centos of tees, &c. LtsuoN, Fur. 14.---1 t h reported by accounts from Spain'', received todi a y, that a remonstrance had been made by Sic``William A'Court, on the subject of the remor al of King Ferdinand to Cadiz, which the Co rtes are said to require. Sir Williadt is stated ko have declared, that, if the Cortes persisted, b e should be under the necessity of demanding hi passports, " One must have struck •men of sense. In 1814, some eminent persons took upon themselves the init iation, and, as the most considerable among them expressed himself, the responsibility of the , revolution which restored to France the shoots of the ancient dynasty. Public notoriety has marked out as such, the Prince de Talleyrand, the Duke of Dalberg, General Dessolles, the . Marquis de ,laucourt, Baron Louis, and the Arch bishop of Malines. In 1815, they all remained faithful to their work, broken as it was by the . storm ; and the Monarchy, a second time re suscitated, leant upon them. " In what ranks do we now see those men ? The answer to this question is important. Woe to him who does not perceive in it a salutary ad monition ! " If, in casting an :eye over Europe, we en . deavour to learn what are the views of that England which was so extolled in the days of gratitude, we shall find that, the Prince to whom • the august refugees of Hartwell said, on leaving . the hospit a ble-1544-j that next to• Ond he bad •dontributed-most to those great results,' is the very same of whose disapprobation and oppo. sition Lord Liverpool has recently informed us. Thus at home and abroad, the present Counsel. 'ors must see at the head of their adversaries all. who laboured*bring about the two-fold acces .Sion of the 7 Roynl House.7-These facts certainly, make a disclosure. They teach in the first place that the opposition is calumniated when it is. re presented to the reigning family as its enemy : - perhaptthey will also infortll whoever may in vestigate them, that the restoration has rashly stepped out of the circle drawn around it by the events which gave it birth. " The pages of• the 41'willow are the archives wherein the past speaks with all the •sentiments which belong to it. Open the records, and it will be seen that in 1814 France was afflicted by two great evils—arbitrary power and war. What. l were the reproaches which all voices then raised against the fallen potentate ?—his despotism and his victims. Whet didthe subject ask, and what did the Prince promise 3—Peace and liberty. 4 4 The sentiments of the Bourbons then con curred, on these two aliments" of their powsr, with the wish of France. What was inscribed on their banners 3—' No more conscription No more 1)roi/s riunis?' l'hat is to say, the return of peace, the eautucipation of foreign commerce and internal industry : but the new auspices were calculated to excite some alarm, for France was equally averse to both things:—the warlike character of the empire, and the govern ment of the etnigraqon. " Monsieur came. His Royal Highness said, that ' nothing yells changed—that there was only one French/oar, more among us.' This was a happy phrase/ The wise and noble sentiment soon obtained - the sovereign's confirmation the declaratioo °ESL Ouen was the first act of Royal authority. "The Icing's Goserurnent was pledged from time, for rad, to adhere 'to the principles and in terests for which the Charter was about to be given. There could be no doubt as to the nature of thor,e interests and principles; for it has never yet Nen said that La 'Vendee fought for the ests'ulislitnent of a representative Government. ''' ; Europe understood the restoration, as the Dourhons and as we understood it. Austria and rA'russia, which were twice witnesses without being participators in this grand scene, wished above all things to obtain guarantees of recon ciliation and repose. What these powers wanted, was the assurance that our factions, tempered by the wisdom of our Princes, should no longer tor ment the wearied world with their military rest lessness. The Emperor Alexander, who alone, and that only in 1814, seconded the expression of the national wish in favour of the descendants of Henry I V., was also the ottly one of the high allies who was friendly to the development and the forms of the internal system of the monarchy. It is well known that. this Monarch —whether it may be supposed that lie was still bewildered by the illusions of Tilsit and the terrors of Mojaisk ) or that there arose in his enlightened, mind a strong conviction from the daily aspect of atfairs.---sought at that time for alliances only in the saloon of Madame de Steel, and that he evinced great cor diality towards General Lafayette. 4C What has just been stated sulliciently magi. Pests the spirit in which the Revolution of, 1814 was conceived by the statesmen who planned it, by France which desired It, by Europe which sanctioned it, and by the Princes who accepted it : all recognized two satisfactions to be owing to the country—natoely, pracennd liberty. 46 The Bourbons were called to govern a France which had exhausted the "glory of aline. Napoleon, however, left them a wide field, by abandoning .to them the improvement of com merce, civilization, and the arts. Under this new relation, peace became a law of their destiny it was the principle of their govermnent, .it was its strength. " We do not mean to say that the King of France was to be for ever denied the right of drawing the sword. Such a system would' haVe been an abdication" of French honour. But we say that the restoration will deny its justice when ever the "Ministers shall accept the chances of a war which is not incurred for the defence, or in con - fortuity.. with the interests to which the Charter Was given as a security—interesta which replaced the dynasty on the throne of its ancestor*. What, then, will be the case, if the war, instead of being national, should be undertaken in favour of doctrines against which all France in 1814 would have revolted ? "'France could only find durable safe-guards in the establishment of institutions equally solid and liberal; but unfortunately this truth does not come Within the compass of all minds, and may not the restoration at length compro mise its destiny, if the ministers forget that 'part ,or their duty which consists in taking their stand on public liberty: But the war is seen and understood. When our soldiers shall be encamped on the soil of the Castiles, and the English shall be blockading our ports, it will then seem that the days ‘thich preceded the, re storatiOn_arO returned. One thing, however, will not be seen. -.we shall not see, beyond our ex tended frontiers, Europe tributary to our matiti. factures.anti our arm. 46 When our army shall see the Inquisitor, the Dominican, the Trappist, marching in its front, carrying a bloody crucifix, and marking out for the bayonet fugitive populations, which refuse to repeat 'their rallying cries, will not the nation, as. tonished at obtaining such victories, have reason to apprehend that a mysterious or mystical influ ence has invaded the councils of the King, to falsify, with his cognizance, all the principles of the Government, which the declarations of St.., Ouen and Cambrai had established " Meanwhile we must ask such be the future which is preparing for us, have not the friends of the Throne reason to be alarmed ? Will the genius of the emigration,- suddenly in.' spired with a warlike turbulence, on which it doats 0s atradition half chivalrous and half Im perial, gain over that publiC opinion, which the 'Bourbons in their wisdotkrecognized to be equally hostile to the ancient system and the empire ? or can the monarchy, without peril, depend solely on combinations, which, during thirty years, were. on several occasions unable to defend it, or re-con struct it ? " Let us hope th a t the daily disc u ssi ons of the parliamentary opposition, will snake to convince the counsellors of the Crown of the errorsOlui: dangers, and the resources of the Government. " We venture to state that this opposition daily enfold s its e lf with astonishing vigour ; for the' possessors of the authority of Government doubt less are not so deluded by the witchcraft of poa us not to perceive in the numerical majority laboriously extracted from the election contests; a deception under which the rapid progress, at the unsuccessful opinion is, concealed. A party never acquires strength in an assembly; if it dices not obtain recruits out of doors ; and that IS. glory which, during these two years past, belongs solely to the minority ;. for after having stopped at M. Ternaux in the' Chamber of Deputies, and at the Duke of Broglio in the Chamber of Peers, it has now advanced as far as M. de Talleyrand in the latter, and M. Leine in the former. " Are these the conquests which the , authdr;df La Monardde scion' la Charm predicted , when he promised to. make Royalists, provided he were allowed seven men to a department ? Ife has had them ;, but the faster authority approac4es his party, the more public opinion is withdrawn from it ; such, however, is not the march of human nature. • 44 Rash men Can not you perceive that this party takes upon itself the task of reversing the promises of the Restoration, and of insult ing all the wishes and all the wants of Frimeg? The house of Bourbon had made a compact with the ideas, the doctrines, the opinions, of 1789, and the Spanish war is precisely destined to corn bat those great interests of our age. The treaty of Paris exhibited Russia extending over Europe, as over defenceless prey, a net from which there was soon to be no escape; and yet, instead of bringing forward the South to stop the ambitions progress of the North, we are going to pour a t t our blood and our treasure in large streams at the foot, of the pillars of Hercules. The libeny of the sea was what France of 1814 most desired ; but our Ministerial journals now talk again of the continental blockade. Finally, the house of Bourbon seemed to the world a guarantee of peace and stability ; it had itself - need of repose, in order to relink the chain of events; but inconsiderate men, who had not had leisure .a to bo s u e t at h d t isfi e g m u s r e hi N g es o p e ro a p u e sp rl i y ee a s t o t f bi th l e iei r% (s)or:: ian t) to obtain for themselves the easy but dangerous gratification of convulsing the world. " Lucian- , relates that a gent tragedian ap.. peared on the Theatre of Abtlern. Aft er his tleparture the Abderitans were seized with fits of insanity. They were fond of exhibiting at obi.
