" Jam fides, et pax, et honor, pudorque Priscus, et neglecta redire virtus Audel, apparetgue (mate pleno, Copia C017111."-HORACE. In the absence of all political excitement, and food for novelty of an ordinary kind, it may be worth w bile to con template the extraordinary position in which Ireland now stands. For the first time in the Tory period of her eventful history, she enjoys peace and plenty, and confidently looks forward to the fulfilment of those promises of equal laws and equal justice held forth to her, not less by the honour and interest of England, than by the reiterated pledges of those Statemen who now govern the British Empire. Here is indeed a new vista in the political prospects of this country : it may be worth while to enquire into its causes and pro bable consequences. Since the year 1827, when th.? illness of Lord Liverpool and the consequent appointment of Mr. Canning, s haad of a new Administration, broke in upon that close Birough system of Government, which the Tor:es had carried on for nearly a century, the condition of Ireland has been the object of paramount care and consideration to the Legirla ture and Executive. And as the pressure of the Catholic question in that year was Abe reason why the Duke of Wel lington, Sir Robert Peel, and other 'Ministers, refusing to servo under Mr. Canning, who was known to be an advo cite for that measure, first weakened their party, so at more recent periods has the question of further justice to this country completely dcstro) ed the influence so long exercised by Tories over the councils of the nation. For, not to mention the various grounds influencing his late Majesty in selecting his Ministers immediately after his accession to the Throne, and subsequently when Reform was opposed by the same party, it is in the recollection of almost every person who reads a newspaper, that no less than three Ca- 1 binets have been constructed within the last four years, out of the different materials which the necessary policy for Ire• land has suggested. First, we had the Grey ; then the Melbourne ; then the Wellington-Peel ; and lastly, the Melbourne secundo Cabinets—all constructed with a view to the settlement of those Irish questions which still remain unadjusted. They have been all hitherto unable to pass a Tithe or Corporate Reform Bill, acceptable to the several parties interested therein. How long any Government might continue in the same state of absolute incapacity, was a problem of very difficult solution before the experiment of the late general election. But it is no longer so in the opinion of the majority of the people of Ireland. On this side of the Channel the most sanguine expecte- tions are entertained, not only of the stability of the pre sent Government, but of their ability to carry next session the principles of their policy into full and perfect opera tion. The grounds of confidence are these. The Irish Church question it was that formed the present Govern ment on the ruins of Sir Robert's Cabinet of Incspables. That question still remains unsettled, as well as the Church rate question in England, which arose out of the former, and is yet secondary in national importance. To these may be added Irish Corporate Reform, also paramount, in point of time at least, to the consideration of other sub jects of Reform. Here then we have matters of vital im portance to this part of the empire, demanding the earliest and uedivided attention of Government and the Legisla ture. During the last two years no progress has been made, notwithstanding the endeavours of the Ministry and the wishes of the majority of that branch of the Legisla ture, against which, we have Sir Robert Peel's authority far saying, no Government can stand. In this juncture of affairs a new Sovereign ascends the throne, " full of life, and splendour, and joy" to all her people. An election takes place for representatives of the people in Parliament ; and in this country, at least, never did the great body of the people declare their will more voluntarily and with less re straint. They have sent into Parliament more than trio thirds of their representatives, independent but unequivocal supporters of the present Ministry and of their measures. They believe that with such representatives, under such a Government, the interests of their country must be at tended to ; and in the confidence and content produced by such a belief, they are at this moment more tranquil and happy than at any period for seven centuries past. In proof of this I need only mention a disposition on the part of se veral of its members to dissolve the General Association, which had been formed for the purpose of petitioning for and promoting the measures of justice and equality already mentioned. There are different opinions on this subject ; and O'Connell has been written to, but his sentiments are not yet known. The idea of dissolving arose out of the confidence entertained of the influence which our majority must have on the Legislature on questions purely Irish. It is thought to be as impolitic as it would be unjust, to left:se to tile present Government and representatives of the people of Ireland, measures so calculated to continue our present comparatively happy state, but which, if refused, may throw us back into our habitual discontent. BANKERS' SIX-POUND NOTES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. " Credit Rerves in the place of mines."—MoxTEseuiEu. Stn,—lt being necessary that bankers should hold a con- siderable amount of gold coin, in order to meet the averag e return of their notes, sovereigns —the small change of corn mrrce—are consequently, to an immense extent, withdraw n from circulation ; hence the difficulty often found in pro curing change even for a five pound note. In order in some measure to remedy this impediment, I would sugg es t that hankers should issue six pound notes as well as five pound notes ; as by this means the tendering a six pound note, and receiving back a five pound note, a debt of one pound may be discharged ; or by the tendering two si x pound notes, and receiving back two five pound notes, or a ten pound note, a debt of two pounds may be settled ; an d in the same manner ANY SUM (not being the fraction of a pound) may be adjusted without the intervention of coin. The issue of such proposed notes may tend to be o f essential service even to•bankers themselves ; as by the and 4th William IV., c. 98, s. 6, Bank of England notes are made legal tender " for sums above five pounds o n ly ;" so that in case of a run, or a general panic, when even Bank of England notes may be in a state of discredit, the holder of a banker's five pound note may demand gold, a Bank of England five pound note not being a legal tender in cis charge of such note ; whereas a Bank of England five pound note and one sovereign, would be a legal tender by a banker in discharge of a six pound note. Bankers would thus lessen their liability to be called upon for gold, and might consequently retain less gold coin than expediency now warrants ; a greater quantity of that. coin would thereby be let into eireulatiou, and the public be doubly benefitted by the proposed measure being carried into effect. I am, Sir, your's, &c., Ilfracombe, Sept. 5. R. W. DICKINSON. THE QUEEN AT BRIGHTON. BRIGHTON, TUESDAY NlGHT.—Pursuant to a requisi tion by a very large number of the inhabitants of Brighton, requesting the High Constable to convene a meeting, f or the purpose of devising the best means of evincing their loyalty on the approaching visit of her Majesty to the town, a large number of the most respectable residents of the town and its neighbourhood, met this afternoon, at the Town hall, at half-past two o'clock. The High-Constable, J. WRIGHT, Esq., was called to the chair. Captain Pechell, M.P., and a number of the neighbour ing gentry, were on his right and left hand. THOMAS ALLTREE, Eeq. proposed the fist resolution, which was to the effect, that on the approaching visit of her Majesty. the inhabitants of Brighton were hound to take such measures as would demonstrate their loyalty, attach ment, and respect for her Majesty on her first visit as their Sovereign to the town ; and that a Committee be appointed for that purpose, with power to collect subscriptions, and with lower to add to their number.—(Hear, hear.)

COLLISION BETWEEN THE MO- MARCH AND APOLLO STEAMERS. [We received such contradictory statements yester day as to this accident, that we refrained giving any particti!ars until to-day.] (The following is from a Morning Paper.) Yesterday morning an accident similar to that which oc carrcd last year at the Nore, when the Red Rover was sunk by corning in contact with the Magnet in the fog, took place in the river near Gravesend, but was attended with more fatal results, three persons having perished. The vessels which came in collision on this occasion were the Apollo, a small steam-vessel, belonging to the Commer cial Steam-Packet Company, and the Monarch, a large and powerful steam-ship, the property of the General Steam Navigation Company. Inc' Apollo, a steamer of about 120 tons, devoted solely to the conveyance of pas sengers, was coming up the river on her way from Yar mouth to London, with twenty-five persons besides the crew on board, when she was met by the Monarch, a Leith packet, on her way down, in Northfleet Hope, and while rounding the point, a dreadful collision took place, by which the Apollo, being the smaller body, suffered, and soon went down. When the two vessels met it was about three o'clock, and the night was very dark and hazy, the tide being nearly at its height ; and, when the crash took place, the affrighted passengers, all of whom were below in their berths, and a majority of them asleep, were aroused, and rushed on deck, believing their doom was fixed, and the shouts of the men, and their cries for help, mingled with the cries and shrieks of the females, formed a scene of terrific conftision. The "passen gers in the Monarch were soon quieted, and it was ascer tained that she had received very little damage by the con cussion. She proceeded immediately alongside the Apollo, which filled rapidly, and took her passengers and crew oa board, when it was ascertained that all were saved except the stewardess and two children. In ten minutes afterwards the Apollo disappeared ; she went down in deep water. The Monarch remained close to her until daylight, when the Newcastle, a towing steamer, hove in sight, and the Apollo's passengers were transferred to her, and conveyed to London. They did not arrive until ten, and the anxious -inquirers assembled at the wharf ascertained the real extent of the calamity. • Previous to the arrival of the Newcastle information had reached the metropolis that every person on board the Apollo had perished, and the eastern part of the metropolis and the city were in a state of feverish ex citement for several hours, the report having obtained ex tensive circulation, and, with the remembrance of several recent steam-boat calamities, was too readily accredited by all who heard it. It appears that the Monarch left the Brunswick Steam Packet Wharf about ten minutes before one o'clock yester day morning with goods and passengers, and from the state ment made by Mr. George Rooke, her pilot, who has the reputation of being a very skilful and careful man, and has conducted steamers up and down the Thames for many years, she proceeded very cautiously at half-speed only down the river, owing to the darkness of the night and the haziness of the weather. Captain Bain, the Master of the Monarch, was stationed on one paddle-box, end Mr. Rooke, the pilot, on the other, and a good 100k -out, it is asserted by the latter, was kept a-head by men placed in the bows. There were two strong lights hoisted aboard the Monarch, one at the mast-head, a large illuminating light, and the other at her stern. In this manner the Monarch proceeded as far as Northfleet Hope, and when off Grays, in rounding the point, the Appollo was first seen bearing towards her in the same direction ; she was within a very short distance of the Monarch, and Mr. Rooke states that the order to ease and stop the engines was im mediately given. The collision, however, which is described Qy all parties as a most fearful one, took place, the Monarcls striking the starboard bow just before the fore rigging. The Monarch rebounded with the shock, and in order to pre sent her going right over the Apollo, the engines were re versed, and she afterwards went alongside, and took the passengers out. They had no sooner reached the Monarch than every kindness and attention was paid to them by the captain, steward. stewardess, and crew, and on its being as certained that they were persons in a very humble condi tion in life, a subscription was immediately commenced among the passengers of the Monarch, and 12/. was soon collected. This sum was forwarded to London, and is in the hands of Mr. Bessell, the Secretary of the General Steam Navigation Company. It will be a great relief to many of the sufferers who have lost their property, and is to be ap portioned according to their wants. In order to allay any Fears as regards the Monarch, we are happy to state that the injury she received is of the most trifling nature, a part of her eutwater only was carried away, and there is no doubt of her reaching Leith in safety. Tne slight damage she has sus tained will not at all affect her speed. When the ApoUo was st ruck there were two children asleep in the fore-cabin, one a boy aged six years. the son of Mr. Boulton, of North ampton-square, Clerkenwell ; the other, a girl, about three ears of age, named Wren. They were both in charge of th e same nurse, and the woman's first effort when the col lision took place was an attempt to rescue the children, but the water flowed in so fast close to the spot where th'ey were sleeping, that she nearly lost her own life, and the little ones perished. The stewardess, a respectable female, named Jones, recently appointed to her situation, rushed out of the after-cabin on to the deck when the vessel was struck, when recollecting that her bonnet had been left below, she returned and was drowned by the rush of water. Some very narrow escapes took - plare ; many of the pas sengers were so terrified as to be unable to save themselves, and were dragged half asleep into the Monarch. The Apollo was a handsome little vessel, and formerly ran between Southampton and Havre. It was only last week that she went down to Southend with a party of bakers for the benefit of a society belonging to that trade, when she got aground and remained so all night, to the no small inconvenience of the company, who were detained until next day. The captain and crew persist that no suffi cient look-nut was kept on 'board the Monarch, and that men stationed on the larboard and starboard bows hailed her to bear -away long before she came up with the Apollo, and that no notice was taken of their cries, nor was the vessel eased until she ran into them. In the present state of the affair it would not be right to suffer the statements of either party to prejudice the public mind, more particu larly as the transaction, when the bodies are raised, will become the subject of a very solemn inqury. A meeting of the Directors of the Commercial Steam boat Company took place yesterday afternoon, when direc tions were given for the raising of the vessel. We were informed by Mr. Bleaden, the Secretary of the Company, whose attention to the state of the unfortunate sufferers has been most humane and considerate, that express ori:crs had been given to get up the bodies of the stewardess and the children as quickly as possible, and that every respect should be paid to their remains. A most unfounded report of the collision between the Apollo and the Monarch found its way into the Courier evening newspaper. It was there stated, on the authority of Captain Turner, the master of the Mercury, a Gravesend ! - steamer, that the Apollo left St. Katharine's wharf at four o'clock for Yarmouth ; that she was met by the Monarch from Leith, and that the Apollo had sunk with all the passengers, 20 in number, on board. The report goes on to state, that when Captain Turner left Grays, three bo dies had been found, and fishermen were dragging for more. The whole statement was a gross misrepresentation, and will no doubt be productive of great mischief in those places where no other paper is seen. The journal in ques tion must have been shamefully imposed upon, more, espe 'cially as Captain Turner, a most respectable man, never g ave any account of the kind to any person whatever, and we have his authority for stating that his name had been used without his sanction, and that he has been already put to some inconvenience in consequence. LATEST PARTICULARS. Upon visiting yesterday afternoon the scene of the dread ful collision, scarcely any additional particulars could be ob tained. The Captain of the Apollo, it appeared, put ashore at Northfleet after the accident, where he stayed till the ad vancing day and the receding tide allowed him an opportu nity of ascertaining the state of the wreck. The vessel lies It seems, as near as possible in midstream, and in water so deep that at full tide no part even of the mast is visible ; at low water only the top p ar t a ppears, a short bare pole ; the chimney is at no time of the tide visible. Had not the Monarch . been able to stop herself, and render vigorous as sistance, the condition of the entire crew and passengers of the Apollo would have been fearful. At a broad part of the river, with scarcely any houses on either side, not a host known to have been afloat near, the few inhabitants on both sides buried in profound sleep, the calamity had passed over, and the vessel long become fixed in deep water ere anything was known of the event at Gray's or Northfleet. Prompt and sufficient assistance from shore could not have been obtained in time. A boat has been made fast to the wreck, where a man constantly remains, with a flag hoisted, as well to protect the wreck as to direct other vessels to steer clear. The captain in the afternoon passed on to Gravesetd, : Ind went to the Three Dawes Tavern. Our reporter arix ions!), inquired for him there, hoping to gain some exact particulars, but unfortunately learned he had just before left by the steam-vessel Vesper for London. .

It was at first reported she descended to fetch her bonnet ; but the second account, which rests on tolerable authority, appears more reasonable and more ho nourable to huma n nature. It will be some time before the vessel can be raised, and the work will be one of diffi eelty and expense. 'P here is some talk at Northfleet of the person being employed who raised the Red Rover. I Till the vcasel is raised the bodies cannot be got at, unless a diving-bell is resorted to, or the lately invented diving apparatus. The following version of the collision given by Henry Washer, a waterman, stationed on board one of the two lighters that lie constantly moored off Nlrthfleet Hope, would seem to imply that if any blame existed it- was on' board the sunken vessel. He says he was on deck ;it had been very dark, but was beginning to clear when he distinctly saw the two steam-boats approaching. The Monarch seemed to be getting out of the way, when the bows of the Apollo ran full into the shoulder of the Monarch. From the enor mous size of the Monarch, the whole force of the collision passed into the Apollo, a comparatively small boat. The shock of the recoil was dreadful. Washer is satisfied from the noise of the crash that the whole of the fore part of the Apollo was smashed. She went down very soon after wards, head first, nearly at the spot of the collision. From the darkness of the night, and the confusion, the passengers, it is believed, have generally lost their luggage, a matter, as is known, of great importance to several poor industrious !persons on board. A subscription has been opened for their benefit, and the passengers of the Mo narch, who manifested every sympathy for the sufferers, raised an immediate subscription of W. 18s. for their re lief, an example viorthy, of being followed, as the Directors of the Commercial Steam Company will see to its fit distribution. The personal clothing of the passengers, when got on board the Monarch was generally wet and dripping ; and as the tow-boat that brought them up the river passed along, there were to be seen cloaks, shawls, and handker chiefs spread out on the ropes to dry. PORTUGAL. MANIFESTO OIFTHE CORTES, The General Extraordinary and Constituent Cortes of the Portguese nation htve uaanirn3usly resolved to publish the follow►ng manifesto : " Convinced by long and painful experience that our fundamental laws required reform, the Portuguese claimed the ancient and unquestionable right of the natives of these kingdoms to appeal to an assemblage of the Constituent Cortes of the nation. " Our chief organic defect, the one most unanimously acknowledged, was the imperfect and illusory state of the national representation, produced by an abuse of the charter. It was evidently impracticable to appeal to it against itself, or to expect a remedy from the source of its evil ; the na tion, therefore, appealed to the qaarter where she could and bad a right to appeal. " This most ancient and undeniable right, as old as the monarchy itself, no written Constitution could deprive the Portuguese people of, for by no stipulations have we bound ourselves, by no oath have we pledged ourselves, to re nounce it. - " This right asserted by the people was acknowledged by the Queen ; to that same principle she owes her throne, and we our liberty. The constituent Cortes met, and by the same right that our ancestors at Lamego declared that they were free, and would preserve their liberty—by the same right that at Coimbra the fundamental law and the order of succession were altered—by the same right by which, after the revolution of 1640, the ancient Constitution of the state was restored and proclaimed, and the Crown conferred on the serene house of Braganza—by the same right which, in 1822, caused the reform of this ancient Con stitution, did the constituent Cortes of 1837 enter on their task of revising and modifying the social compact. " During all these glorious epochs factions were not want ing who disputed this unquestionable right assumed by the people and by the Cortes, their representatives. The same thing happens now, and from similar causes the defects and abuses in our ancient Constitutions afforded a wide open . ng to the influence of favourites and the dilapidation of public treasure ; how could such interested parties refrain from taxing as illegal and tyrannical those Cortes who corrected these abuses, those Cortes who made reforms, those Cortes whe insisted upon economy ? " Strong in the power which imprudently was left them, still enjoying riches derived from the public substance, which for centuries they had engrossed—enemies to the people, the same now as ever—aye, the very same who to day appear in arms against the nation, did vanquish us in 1823 because they found us unarmed ; they dissolved tu multuously the national representation, they laid viol: nt hands upon many of the elected members, and annulled by mere arbitrary will the Constitution of the State. The Philips of Spain had done so before, end so did the ex- Infante Don Miguel afterwards. Ant none of these %jos lent acts altered our rights, which existed the same as ever. The Cortes protested solemnly for them : that protest re mained graven in the hearts of the Portuguese—it was not, nor ever will be, forgotten in this country. " Remorse of conscience pursued the tyrants for the crimes they had committed. One of these stings produced the traiterous proclamation from Villafranca. It promised us a free Constitution in exchange for one they had robbed us of. We listened in silence to this promise, as if in anti cipation of what would be the result. " They make the same promises to us to-day, but we al ready know how to value them. The words are the same, pledges are the same, and, moreover, they have been put to the test. " Don Pedro IV., •f beloved memory, that generous and magnanimous Prince, who twice liberated us, had to strug gle long and perseveringly against this same faction before he could, not as falsely asserted give, but propose his charter to the national approbation. " The Portuguese still retain vividly in their minds the intrigues which preceded the oath of the Constitution, those brought about during the regency of the usurper, and floally those which prepared and consolidated that usurpation. " How and wherefore should we forget them ? Shall it • be because sonic, who were then, and now are again to day, the declared enemies of the people, joined afterwards. our ranks and took up arms against tyranny ? They did, it is true, fight, and aided us to conquer ; but whilst they, at the cost of our blood, our lives, and our property, have gained riches and honour, our houses still remain in ruins, and our fields still uncultivated ; the bones . of our brethren lie bleaching in the sun unburied and scattered over those deperted plains, once the pleasant and delightful suburbs of Lisbon and Oporto ; and they, insatiable for money and places, have again drawn their swords against the people, because tie) , will not suffer themselves to be trampled upon anew. It is true they fought for us against the usurpation ; but they rendered useless in the end all the fruits of our sacrifices in the ever-to-be-deplored convention of Evora Monte, which only served to renew civil war, anti to place again on the chances of the field the already decided cause of the liberty of the pensinsula and the constitutional thrones of two young and betrayed Queens. " That most scandalous convention served only to pro tect the leaders and chief culprits ; it never covered with its shield the poor, unfortunate, and deluded followers, whom alone it was destined to protect. From that o meet the Portuguese nation lost all confidence in those %•lio thus betrayed and sold her. The Portuguese are generous and indulgent ; they were anxious, and still are so, to pardon and forget ; they wished, as they do again now, for the peace and reconciliation of the Portuguese family. But to those who offer us war, who refuse the brotherly hand we tend to them, and who deliver over to tho sacrifice so many victims of their inordinate ambition—towards those the Portuguese nation cannot be generous. " And they still talk to us of liberty ; No ;. liberty from hands such as theirs we disclaim. We know its meaning ; and let us reject far from us such a fatal present of treason. " The Portuguese nation had accepted the charter ; they do not deny it, nor were they unthankful for it. They accepted it in the same way and under the same obligations as they formerly accepted the constitution of Lamego and the constitutional reforms of Coimbra and Lisbon. No people have ever yet stipulated, nor could stipulate, to pre serve intact any law in despite of the many vices it, might be found to contain, the many defects proved by experience, or the abuses which custom might have introduced. " We swore to the charter, but that oath did not relieve us from others already registered. We swore to the charter, but not to the wickedness which took shelter under cover of that name. We fought for it, but the blood which we shed neither sanctioned the errors it contained, nor was spilt in a paltry contention for the title or date we should give it. It was for the good principles it contained, and to those we have, and always will remain faithful. " The laws of God and of fsi..tur; ;;;:dorieTaMutable, and it would be an insult to human reason, and a blasphemy to the Creator, were we to pretend to such qualities for the laws of men. " The legitimacy of the Charter did not alone depend upon the Royal will, it would have been null and void with out the consent of the nation. The same legitimacy is to be found in the Constitution of 1822, and it is this same legitimacy which now authorizes the mission and the labours of the present constituent Cortcs. " Fellow-Citizens !—This high and difficult mission was near its completion. But that illusory state of the national representation, which was the organic defect of the ancient regitne, had so contributed to devastate the public reve nues, that the Cortes found themselves without revenue or credit ; one half of the country pledged in London, the other half lost at home. It became necessary to seek for an immediate antidote to this evil, and among the burdens to be imposed upon the people, to select those which should least oppress them. Th is was no eas y task, nor could it be done quickly. Even to this predicament did the destroyers of your riches bring you, for to prop up the ruins they left behind, to finds means to provide for the enormous debts they en tailed on the public treasury, much time was necessarily spent, whence the delay in bringing to a closei the discus sions on the fundamental law of tine State. It was, never theless, on the eve of completion, „hen the faction, find ing themselves on the brink of perdition through the re conciliation of the Portuguese, and the re-establishment of legal order, blindly and madly broke out in an attempt at revolution, which the national good sense repels, but towards which foreign gold and intrigue have impelled some victims. _ " It thus became imperative on us t) Eusrend o •r cam: tutive labours, in order to preserve n itional decoru n, ar d moreover that the rebels should not consider a, c i re. : sions what was discussing among peacefu' citizens. " In a few days, when the faction shall hbve been de stroyed, we shall make up for this loss of nor are we in the meanwhile idle, since all our efforts arc dedicated to the defence of liberty. " Portuguese !—Bear in mind that this is not a war of one: party against another party ; were this the case, both sides would be criminal. We have with us the nation, such as she appeared in August, 1820, such as she showed her self ia September, and more decidedly in November, 1836 united, unanimous, and invincible. What have the rebels A few so diers bought over ; the inhabitants of no one sin gle hamlet have hitherto joined them, nor bate they yet been able to draw to their party one single corps of the army. " They have only one means of success—that of sowing discord among us, precipitating us into anarchy, and suffo cating liberty by the hands of despotism ; this is the se cret persuasion of their minds, which they have so often exposed. But let us be wary, and their projects will be defeated. " Proceed we on like a nation. Disorder is for the fac tious. Great notional movements must be carried on with gravity and decorum ; strong in their unity, in .inciLle f, om the regularity of their movements. " The nation is armed, and the people of Lisbon and Oporto, who triumphed over 80,000 of Don Miguel's sol d ers, will have to show themselves only, and this hand:ul of rebels will disperse. " Let us to the field. We shall not even have to fi;ht ; but let us go out with order, and avoid the snares which our foreign and domestic enemies attempt to spread out for us ; by similar means France was plunged into the horrors of that frightful revolution, when liberty sank in the same pool of blood whence despotism arose. " Fellow-citizens! Your representatives deserve your confidence. Rest assured they watch over the sacred de posit confided to their care. We will die, if necessary, de fending it ; but while we live, the liberty of the Portuguese, the prerogatives of the throne, the constitutional and repre sentative monarchy, such as we received them froth the mandate of the people, we will not suffer to be touched by profithe . hands.

" Her Majesty's Government having most particularly enjoined and charged me with the maintenance. of order, quiet, and public tranquillity in the capital, the inhabitants of which, notwithstanding their numbers, give the most evident proofs of their adhesion to the cause of liberty and order, thereby showing themselves to be worthy of the greatest protection and care ; and in fulfilment of the duty thus entrusted to me, anxious also on my- pat to act up to the confidence with which both the Government and the people have hitherto reposed on my measures, I have deemed meet to inquire into and prohibit by all means in my power all acts tending to disturb public tranquillity, and to prosecute, by every legitimate means, such persons as may print lithograph, or in any other way publish ad dresses, proclamations, pasquinades, or papers, of whatever nature soeser, which may not have previously received the necessary sanction. And whereas an anarchical proclama tion has been lately distributed about, falsely attributed to some officers of the gallant National Guard of this capital. the purport of which has been severely censured by every sensible patriot, her Majesty's Government has resolved and come to the determination of hearing itself with all that firmness and energy so much required unler existing circumstances, handing over to the severity of the laws those periu-bators, who, forgetting what they owe to their fellow citizens and their country, attempt any turbulence or insult ; fur liberty, which always reposes on justice, can neither tolerate arbitrary acts or violence, neither does she require such means for her support and maintenance.

An adjourned meeting of the Mexican bondholders took place yesterday, at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Special Comn:ittee 'appointed at the meeting held on the 9th of August last, to take into consideration, and report their opinions, on a decree of the Mexican Government, and a communication made by the Mexican Minister in London to the Commit tee of the Spanish American bondholders, relative to a cer tain plan by which the Mexican Government proposed to liquidate the debt from that State to its European creditors, together with the interest thereon, the payment of which has been so lone- deferred. A correspondent of the 31orninj A-Iv,,rtiscr says, " There has been some movement reliting to these Securi ties (Mexican Bonds), the object of which, we believe, is to cancel the present securities, and transfer them to secu rity on certain lands ; it may not be uninteresting, but, on the contrary, be a matter of pecuniary consideration. The following is the description of land upon which the security is offered. The river Sabine forms the south-western boundary of the United States, separating them from Mexico. Texas lies south and west of the Sabine, hut its boundaries are not well defined. Tnc inhabitants of Texas, having revolted from Mexico, have proclaimed indepen dence, and have hitherto resisted with their deadly rifles all the efforts of the Mexicans for their subjugation.
