His days arc represented as prin cipally spent in a large room in the Palace walking up and down, or receiving some of the persons who wait on him. Wh en alone, he amuses himself in looking through a tele scope to the bar of the Tagus, as if he expected some vessels either to arrive here, or, what is more likely, to take their departure from hence. Preparations are making daily' for the embarkation of the British troops, and the faction, which is now clamorous for the absolute King, will then, according to the general expectation, assume the mastery, astd face, if force lie necessary, Don Miguel to obey their wishes. This Prince dines at a late hour, and takes no foodbut what is prepared from the hands of an old nurse ; and some even assert that he has a surgeon to taste before he eats it. • Fearful of going abroa d, lest he should be as sassinated ; fearful of eating, lest he should be poisoned— his life must he miserable from terror, and those terrors are menaced from the falsehoods poured into his ears by those who work upon him to gain their own ends. The belief, which is general among his partisans, of his not hav ing taken the oath on Tuesday last, has- had the effect of assembling several hundreds of the rabble employed in t he Royal stables, on the last four or five evenings, at the en trance into the Palace, when they forced all the Peers and others who go there to join in the cries for Absolutism.— Some ludicrous scenes occurred there on Saturday even ing. Amongst the courtiers who then went to the Palace was the Patriarch, who is a Cardinal of the Roman Church, and of course wears the red cap or hat, the slip pers, and the other insignia. His Eminence came, ac cording to custom, dispensing blessings to all, to the portal, and the mob assailed him, calling on him with great cries to cry out " Success to Miguel 1., our absolute King."— Not having obeyed instantly, they tore off his Eminence's cap, called him names, and, in his hurry to go up stairs, lie lost his slipper, and succeeded in making a slip-shod race into the interior of the building. Prince Schwart aenhusg, an AUstrian, who came here to announce the de parture of Don 'Miguel from Vienna, - was also seized. Net understanding the Portuguese comment% of the abso lute mob, he cried out in French, " Gentlemen, gentle men, tell me in French what you want." His appeal was useless, for " the gentlemen" did not understand it, and this Prince was glad to escape an absolute mauling and t o fly away in terror and disgust. The day following he bade adieu to the Tagus, and embarked on beard the Briton frigate, which conveyed Lord Heytesbury to Eng land. It must be an amusement to hear this polished young German recount this adventure. The Conde da Cunha, a Portuguese of no great worth was also assailed, and his carriage broken, to the satisfaction of many who dislike him. But of all who suffered, the General Com mandant of the Province and of the City, Caula, was most opprobriously assaulted. " This is the rascal who in May last prevented the revolution in favour of our absolute King from being successful in Elvas—let us be at him." They tore open the carriage, threw stones at the General, and severely wounded him on the wrist—some even say the arm was nearly broken. This treatment was repeated under the portals of the Palace, within the hearing of the Regent, who could, if he chose, have ordered the guard to drive the miscreants away. But it was his object to en courage them. Rumours have been afloat to-day of a change in the Mi niaftY. It is said that the Infanta Regent proposed several unreasonable measures to the Minister at War, the Conde de Villa Real. Those measures were an amnesty for Chaves and his rebellious gang—the removal from the command of the provinces and of the regiments, all officers attached to the Constitution. It is well known in England that Don Miguel while there contracted a loan, for which the British Government became security to the amount of 50,000/. Continental schemes, continental intrigues, continental influence, in- I creased (as the best-informed here assert) the loan to 200,000/., and Don Miguel, secure in having outwitted the British Ministry, and well aware that his City friend had Continental securities to back him, or that the money would not leave England, delayed in Plymouth, and had not given any certainty for his future conduct. Some days after his arrival he was all Constitutional, to please England, but when expectation became cer tainty—when the Jew had given assurance doubly-sure, by sending off the money..-the mask fell, and Don Miguel appeared in his native colours—fearful, deceitful, despotic, cowardly; whose word was but air ; whose honour is but chaff before the gale. Such even the Corcunda here, the friends of the old regime, now call him. Yet this Prince is to be pitied, for he is but the toy, the mere puppet of able r hands_ He is wholly under the guidance of his mother, the old Queen, who, to use her own expression,. " knows him well." The acts of the Infant have lowered the price of the Government Paper Money to 22 discount, and there is no sale for the other Securities. There are some persoss who expect the English troops, or at least part of them, will remain, for they cannot think that the British Government will expose so many subjects and so much property to such dangers. The mobs around the Palace having, from the representation of the British Ambassador received orders to retire, have taken another course, and last night at.. tacked the Houses of some Peers, in order to frighten them also. The Conde de Ponte's house at Santo Amaro was, it is said, surrounded by them. They are manifestly en couraged, by the Government not using any effective means to put them doUrn, which could be done in a tew hours by two troops of cavalry. The first act of Sir F. Lamb, in his official capacity, has been worthy of an English Ambassador. He has refused permission for the 34 barrels of dollars, which Rothschild se at from London on board his cutter, the Sir William Curtis, to be landed here, on the ground, that as the British Government was security, and as Don Miguel had broken all the promises which he had made in England, c redit could not be givens that this money would be used for a good purpose. Great laughter has been excited a mong the Constitutionalists at this stroke of policy, which is sufficient to open the eyes of Don Miguel, who, if he has feelings, ought to regard this act either as an insult, . or as a proof aids infamy. There was a review this evening of the British troops within a stone's throw of the Palace, at which all the re giments, except three at Mafra, were assembled ; but though some expected Don Miguel would have been pre sent, lie did not come. Sir F. Lamb arrived a little late on the ground, from being delayed at the Palace, where he had a conference with the Regent. This insulting con duct of Don Miguel is not likely to make friends of the English soldiers. The report, however, of this evening is, that the Conde de Villa Real, two days ago, sent an of ficial note to Sir F. Lamb, in which he described the de plorable state of the country, and requested that the troe" should be delay e d f or a s h or t ti me , if p os sibl e . Th e an swer of Sir Frederick was, that all the troops and ships of war, and transports should be over the bar before the 20th. It is an undoubted fact that Don Miguel is a coward : per haps he is afraid of the garrison, and wishes that Chaves should be near Lisbon when General Clinton takes his de parture. We understand that the last despatches from Calcutta, received by the Court of Di rec t ors , b r i ng favour able accounts of the financial situation of the Company's Government. The Burmese treat 7 of peace, in what re gards the fine stipulated to be paid under it to the con querors, is said to be punctually fulfilled, theucylastaitnsctflcmuet.ntat having reac h e d i ts d est i na tion. was in a p rosperous state from ot h er sources , Inur, which, i t d. for the drs.. tribution o f th e D eccan pr ize-mo ney in seems, has alr ea d y ta k en p l ace among there to a very cons i dera b le ex t en t, has the officers on service there notusce investments in th at port i on o f thefive paid up.

It seems that near ly twelve months ago, pressing instances on this subject were m ade by Ministe rs to t h e Court of Directors, but va rious culties th en presented themselves to an immediateo com pliance. Th e Government of Bengal was but ju st releasedhad from the on erous charge of the B urme se war, and Th e distress no portion of the sums awarded by the treaty. distress of the merchants in Calcutta, caused by the shock to credit arising from the commercial panic in England, d called also f or t h e assistance of the Government by actual a in v t a it n e ces tc , ca m suc) and compelled th e preserva ti on o f large balances the tim The Mi n i stry here were well disposed at e to wait the perfect convenience of the Company; but the perseve rance with which the claimants of ' the Decca n Prize m oney broug ht their case before the public , at length rend ered it advitble to hasten the fulfilment of them; in consequence of w hich the large sales of stock took pl ace on the account l East India Company which have been frequently before f t ine adverted to. The remittances from India were thus anticipated, and the prize-money put in course of distribution much earlier than would other wise have been the case. Part of the stock sold was for certain expenses incurred by the Company at home. It is now c on fid ently expected that the Government of Bengal will be enabled to make remittances to an extent adequate to cover the whole in the course of the year, and conse quently to-re pany's name.

Si n A 1, 7 :1 -lir'. ITC • .„ LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 1828. The Gazette de France of Sunday adds no thing positively new to what we already know respecting the situation of affairs in the East of Europe.o Couriers arrive daily from, and pro ceed to, the capitals of France, England, Russia, and Austria ; but all we can learn of the tidings they bear is, that it is probable the Russian army has crossed the Pruth, while it is certain that they intend crossing that river. What the determination of our Government may be remains to be seen ; the public mind, however, is made up for a war between Russia and Tlirkey, and little sympathy is felt for the destiny of the latter, because of its " Jesuitical evasion," and absurd as well as provoking opposi tion to the Treaty of London. In a political point of view it is perfectly immaterial to us whether Russia take possession of the prin • cipalities of Wallachia and Moldavia—our only object is to prevent the Emperor NICHOLAS from acquiring an undue ascendancy in the Le vant, for it cannot be doubted that the secret aim of Russia is to obtain a footing in that quarter. Her whole policy has been directed to that object, in order to give effect to the resources of her southern Provinces. In this question is England too deeply inte rested not to look to the operations of the Rus sian army with vigilance, and if necessary, to act with promptitude. France is also concerned in the march of events—and Austria still more by the proxima tion of a powerful rival. But up to the present time, we vre happy to understand that the greatest harmony subsists between all the Powers, while Russia has given strong assurances that she will faithfully adhere to the stipulations of the Treaty of London. This is all very well so far as promises go, but if Russia pro ceed to war on her own account, she will find ample cause to change her policy, which she must shape to the altered circumstances of the times. Every river which her armies cross —every battle they fight will give a new feature to the war, and consequently to her policy. She must be governed by circumstances, and she will, because she may, plead necessity for her conduct, unless she be in a condition to spurn at all excuses for the attainment of an object which she has so much at heart. Let the consequence be what it may Turkey has provoked the war, and must abide the result. So long as England and France understand each other, the cause of freedom has nothing to fear. The following are extracts from the Gazette de France of Sunday : PARIS, MARCH 15.—We have a letter from Frankfort to the following effect : " Since yesterday evening our city has been in a great bustle. It is said that one of the most considerable houses has received a courier in four days from Vienna, and bring ing the news that the Russians have received caller to pass the Pruth. Funds of every description. have fallen, and several mercantile couriers have been despatched. A Russian courier passed through this city yesterday for Paris." The rise of the funds yesterday has been ascribed to the certainty which the speculators appear to have acquired that the deficit so loudly proclaimed was only imaginary. We shall publish to-morrow a letter from M. Eynard, which we have just received. It gives favourable news from several French officers of the Tacticos, and of the Corps under Colonel Fabvier. It speaks of the measures taken against the pirates, of the resources of Greece, and gives reason to presume that Ibrahim has departed with a great number of Greek victims who cannot be delivered ex cept by a change of prisoners. The Italian Journals announce, that according to the report made by Colonel Fabvier to the Greek Govern ment, relative to the sally made by the Turks from the Castle of Scio, this sally was fatal to the besieged, of whom only 200 out of 1,200 were able to return into the f or t. The surrender, however, of the place was not yet spoken of. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARII, MARCH 14.—Five per Cents. Rentes, 101 f. 7.5 c. 60c. Three per Cents. 68f. 55c. 70c. Bank Actions, 1885 f. 1890 f.

The journal of this city, in a: aswer to the London jour nals, which say that the Duke! of Cambridge is very ill, and that Sir W. Knighton has been sent by his Majesty to Hanover to attend him, declares that his Royal High ness is not only in perfect health, but that be has not been indisposed for a long time. ST, PETERSBURGH, FEB. 27. His Majesty has again ordered the Synod to report the means which it deems the best calculated, on the one hand to promote the education of youth, who are intended for the Church, and, on the other, to secure a better income to the Clergy, and particularly to the parish priests; above all, in poor parishes. Marquis Paulucci has again obtained five months' leave of absence, to travel. HAGUE, MARCH 13.

Metalliques, 89 ; Bank Shares, 1,020. The drama in Portugal begins to deepen. Don MIGUEL has already thlown off the mask and only waits the departure of the British troops to overthrow the Constitution. We could have hoped for nothing else from the pupil of METTERNICH and the ab solute policy of the Court of Vienna. It seems that MIGUEL had acted with great duplicity while in this country, and affected to be quite friendly to the Constitution, in order that he might procure a loan to enable him the better to subvert it. How ever, by the spirited conduct of Sir F. LAMB, the money which had arrived in Lisbon was not allowed to be landed, our Ambassador well knowing that as the British Government were guarantee for its repayment, the loss would fall on us. This was good generalship in the out set, and may convince Don MrotiEr, that we are in earnest. If the Constitution be de stroyed, of which there is little doubt, we have incurred a great expense to no purpose, but to increase our debt. If the Portuguese people cannot appreciate the benefits of a liberal Constitution, they will not thank us for compel ling them. The great mass of the people are oppressed by the avarice of the Nebles and the tyranny of the Priests. Portugal wants a moral hurricane to purify the minds of the people. another column will be found a very interest- ing letter from the Correspondent of a Morning Paper, and the following are some extracts from the Gazettes. The four Peers have been ac quitted : LISBON, ]LARCH 3 His Highness the Infants Regent, has appointed the Marquis de Berba, Peer of the Kingdom ; the Bishop of Vizeu, Peer of the Kingdom; and Senhor Principal Freire, to be Counsellors of State. His Highness has ordered the Urania corvette to cruize on the coast of Portugal, for the protection of commerce. The Cybele corvette is to sail from the Azores on the sth inst., for the same purpose. MAncti 4.—The Gazette contains the conclusion of the trial of the four Peers, who are unanimously acquitted, and resumed their seats in the Chamber. MARCH s.—The Gazette contains three Decrees of the Prince Regent :- 1. Accepting the resignation of the Conde de Villa Real, Minister of War. . . 2. Appointing the Conde de Rio Pardo, to be Minister of War. 3. Appointing .the Conde de Villa Real, Minister for Foreign Affairs, which post he held ad interim. . . 6.—The Gazette gives the account of the pre sentation of Sir F. Lamb to the Prince Regent, to whom he delivered his credentials as Ambassador Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary, from the Court of Great Britain. Maacif 7.—The Gazette officially announces the form hich is to be used in the Acts of the Government, In the promulgation of the laws, usually promulgated in the name of the King, it is to be "Don Miguel, Infante Re gent of the Kingdoms of Portugal and Algarve, and their Dominions, in the name of the King ;" and the same, with the customary variations, on other occasions. His Highness has been pleased to discharge Major. General Carlos Frederico de Caula from the office of Gover. nor of Extremadura, and to appoint in his room, Lieut. General the Viscount de Veiros. Despatches have been received this afternoon at the Foreign and Colonial Offices, from Sir _ _ FREDERICK LAMS, our Ambassador at Lisbo► Their purport fully bears out our comment upon the conduct of Don MIGUEL. We rejoice to perceive that the subject of the Corn Bill is shortly to come under the consider ation of Parliament ; Mr. PEEL having stated last night that the President of the Board of Trade will to-day give notice when the measure is to be brought forward. Till it is finally settled this country can never be said to be in a state of tranquillity, the manufacturing and agri cultural interests being in constant collision, and regarding each other, rather as belligerents, than as subjects of the same Monarch. Gibraltar Papers of the 28th ultimo, are re ceived. They mention that a French convoy of forty-six sail, at Cadiz, bound to the Mediterra nean, and intended to convey the French garri son of that place to Toulon and Marseilles, suffered much in the gale which took place on the night of the 18th. Bombay Papers to the 25th October have this morning been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. They contain nothing of the least importance, except the death, on the Sth of that month, of Lieut.-Col. H. M. SCOTT, commanding the garrison of Bombay, to whose memory these Papers pay a handsome tribute of respect. He has left a widow and daughter to lament his irreparable loss. The funeral was at tended by his Excellency Sir Tilos. BRAD• FORD, Commander-in-Chief, the Staff of the Army, and all the Officers of the Garrison. Lord Viscount EBRINGTON, P.G.M. for this county, intends holding a . Provincial Grand Lodge in this town, on the 17th of April next, and will at the same time dedicate the New Freemason's Hall. Report says, that a number of the Provincial Grand Officers of Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset, will be present.—Devonport Telegraph.

There have been few transactions in the English Funds to-day, which, in the absence of any intelligence have chiefly been in money stock, and have, in some measure removed the difficulty of finding stock for the Commissioners, who pur chased at 82i. Consols opened at 82-7- 3, have since been 82-1 sellers, but are now 82i. India Bonds continue, as well as Exchequer Bills, without any alteration—the former 88 to 89 ; the latter 58 to 59 premium. In the Foreign Funds there have been some fears en tertained that the news from Portugal is far from Agreeable, and that Don Miguel has already forgot the lessons of prudence and liberality that were en deavoured to be instilled into his mind, both at Vienna and in this country during his visit. The Bends are looking rather queer, and are now 71 72 ; Greek nn prove, and have been done at 174 to-day ; Russian are well supported by the Hebrew party, and are 854; Danish 60-1 4. - In Shares there is nothing doing. Since writing the above, we learn that the private letters from Lisbon express, in decided terms, the expectation that the Constitutional Government will be upset. Three per Cent.

PLANTATION SUGARS—For the few good Sugars offered in the market this morning rather higher prices are asked, and in some instances obtained ; the scarcity of these de scriptions has now become very great and is very materially felt by both Grocers and Refiners : there are now 8,500 casks less in the West India Docks than last year. Two public sales of Mauritius Sugar arc advertised for this week, together nearly 10,000 bags. FOREIGN SUGARS.—White Havannahs continue to be taken off at full prices ; to-day 8::?, chests Brazil were sold by public sale, Low to Middl;ag Whites 363. 6d. to 38s. 6d. ; Browns and Yellows, 255. 6d. to 295. REFINED SUGARS—Fine grbcery goods are again dearer, and very few parcels can be found in the market; the low goods also continue scarce, and bring very lull prices ; rather more business has been done in the middling sorts at rather firmer prices. COFFEE.—A parcel of pale good ordinary Brazil was of fered by public sale this morning, and partly sold at 375. FRUlT.—There is no alteration this week. - _ SPlCES.—Pepper and Cloves continue to bear a premium on the last sale. Cinnamon is firm at the previous price. TURKEY - PRODECE.—More is doing in this market, at advanced quotations. Opium is in demand at the full price of last week. Camphor in particular is susceptible of a considerable rise, owing to the small quantity in the importers hands, should the war with Turkey be of long duration. SALTPETRE.--The large public sale of 2,000 bags on Friday afternoon, and which went off 'rather under the general price in the morning of that day s viz. at 245. 6d. to 255., rather checked speculation. This week 2,000 a dditional bags are to be submitted by auction, so that the trade seem desirous of supplying themselves through this means. The business done, therefore, this week, is not extensive at the former quotations. The present stock of Saltpetre in this port is not estimated higher than 8,060 tons. _ _ INDIGo.—The nature of the last accounts relative to the new crop, a full average one, together with the quarterly declaration by the East India Company, has rendered this article less elastic. It is supposed that between 5,000 and 6,00 0 chests will be declared for sale, 3,000 of which are already announced. Hops.—The demand for fine Hops is steady. The trade are %yell pleased with the ready manner in which the Duke of Wellington and the Chancellor of the Exchequer came into their views relative to Bonding Hops, &c. TALLow.—It was obvious some days since, that all the ' efforts of the Bulls to maintain the late advance would fail: the price has now dropped to 41s. per cwt. As new Tallow may be expected to arrive in the latter end of May, if the deliveries continue as small as of late the present stock will be more than sufficient to meet the demand. Be tween 8,000 and 9,000 casks had been bought at St. and were waiting for shipment. Hemp and Petersburgh, Flax are heavy. Corrox.—The market has undergone no material altera tion, the sales being etill limited. Q4,the 21st instant a large quantity, 3,!700 bags, tol4ilactby auction. • LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships sat this morning in a Committee of Privileges to take into consideration the petition of Charles Sholto Douglas, claiming the titles awl honours of the late Earl of Morton and Aberdour. Mr. ADAM appeared on behalf of the claimant, in consequence of a resolution passed by their Lordships on the 3d May, 1822, which required that on the death of a Peer of Scotland, no person other than the son or brother of the deceased should be allowed to vote at the election of a Representative in the Peerage, until claim should be fiCst made and admitted by the House of Lords. The present petitioner was the cousin-german of the late Lord Morton, who died about two months ago. Mr. ADAM moved their Lordships for judgment in hi, favour, and Lord Shaftesbury, as Chairman of the Com mittee, having put it to the vote, whether it was the opi nion of their Lordships that the claimant was entitled to vote at the election of Representative Peers for Scotland, it was carried non. con. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His HONOUR was engaged in hearing bankrupt petitions. Those which came before the Court during the early part of the day were quite uninteresting, and related merely to matters of accounts. SPIRIT 04 , THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Though there are no arrivals from Russia or Con stantinople since our last number, conveying posi tive intelligence, we have still great reason to liclie.ve that such measures are taking on all sides as bring the affairs of Turkey t o a c risi s . Perhaps England is the most dilatory power on this occasion yet she must and will move. France, we believe, calls upon her in the strongest terms t o ma ke sh o rt work with the Greek revolution. Russia is actually at war with the Porte, and unless the latter power has some secret resources which we know not of,— ' is silently laying schemes and maturing plans of op. position but little akin to her late display of energy, her counsels must be the most infatuated that can be conceived.. To what end provoke, by brutal ob stinacy, a force which must overthrow her' If she has fancied that the Allies may fall out among theui s . .selves, the circumstance is not improbable. But it is only in the division of the spoil that disputes of this kind occur; all is friendship and unani mity in the acquisition of it. We stated before, that Russia's offensive Ivar upon the Turks separates her from the other mediators between the Turks and the Greeks. Turkey's re fusal, also, to accept of the terms prescribed in the protocol of St. Petersburgh and the treaty of Lon don, after the Greeks had acceded to those terms, by offering to Pay the relevance, sets the mediators free. They may prescribe what other conditions they please, or settle Greece under what other form they find most convenient. We should say, only guard the independence of the country : secure it either against its old mast ers or new , at as little ex pense as possible, and as speedily as possible, and the respectable part of Europe will be content. There is one point vinch, as a matter of form, now seems indispensable ; which is, that Austria be not suffered to say one word on the affairs of eastern Europe; or at least that what she says obtain not the slightest attention. She and her silly fantasti cal Minister have thoroughly disqualified theinse:ve s from taking any farther part in these affairs. Ai: would have been arranged long ago, but for her.— Times. The Gazette de France has a letter from Frank , fort, which states, that in consequence of intelligence from Vienna of the intention of the Russians to pass the Pruth, the different Stocks had experiencecl considerable fall. Our readers will see, in an article from the Journal des Dcbals, among our extracts from Paris Papers, some farther exemplification of what we yesterday advanced as to the feelings or the French regarding the movement of the Russ►ans•. The Turks, it is evident, are not in favonr at present among our neighbours. The Journal des Debak; alludes to the recent Ministerial change:s in England and France, as having, in all probability, had an in fluence in determining the conduct of the Russians. " Two Cabinets (says that Journal) had fallen in Europe. To an Administration sincere in the Alliance for the liberation of Greece, had succeeded at London, a Ministry foamed of the assailants and enemies of the Treaty of the Gth July. Without in quiring to what extent might be their attacks of the policy of Mr. Canning, it threw them into a route opposed to the one of that great Statesman. The Members of the Wellington Cabinet arrived at power under a presumed colour which could not be sup posed to promise to Russia ardent co-operators in the. East, when it should have been ascertained that a na tion could not be set free with tardy menaces to iu oppressors. The Speech from the Throne at the opening of the English Parliament, could hard:," fail to give rise to serious reflections at Petersburgh; a combat treated as sinister by a Cabinet, which, for the first time, saw a General at its head, did not announce any very warm interest in the contest ; and if England imagined this was the first step to wards a general peace, it is probable that at Si. Pe tersburgh, this was one of the most warlike inci dents of the question. In France, on the contrary, an Administration hostile, during an existence which was but too long, to every thing that was grand, noble, and generous, crumbled down piece by piece, to give place to a Cabinet, Several Members of which had for three years pleaded a cause eminently popular, and brought with them to power the im perious obligation of restoring to their country the rank from which their predecessors had caused it to descend. An inevitable modification in the exterior policy of France was, there fore, the necessary result of the Revolution which had just taken place in her Cabinet." Our readers must remember that Mr. HuskissOn, in his memorable speech at Liverpool, stated, that we should be indebted for the preservation of peace in Europe to the circumstance of Lord Dudley conti nuing in office. His'Lordship, we suppose, rehearsed to Prince Lieven the lecture on consistency, the limits of personal and political obligations, and the nature of principle, which he afterwards delivered twice in the House of Lords, endeavouring, no doubt, to persuade the Prince that words were only the counters of wise men; that declarations of opi nion meant only that the parties found it convenient to declare such opinions at the moment, that the Prince ought to entertain no apprehension on ac count of the opinions publicly expressed by Lord Ellenborough against the policy of Mr. Canning ; or the avowed intention of Ministers, when ont of power, to attack the Treaty of London, and to ob tain the condemnation of the proceedings under it; because it was notorious in England, that public men retained only any set of opinions, as long as it was convenient for them to retain them, and that they were allowed at all times to change principles as well as parties, and with their parties their principles. That his Lordship delivered himself in his best manner, and with all that com mand of the graces of foreign languages which he is known to possess to Prince Lieven, we do not in the least doubt ; but lie may have succeeded better in conveying to him what is meant by principle among public men in this country, than in persuading him that Russia had any ground for counting on the sincerity of his Lordship's declarations to her. Besides, the declarations of English Statesmen had found their way to Russia, where the easy way in which opinions may be adopted and east off in this country may not have been thoroughly understood. When, therefore, the epithet untoward made its ap pearance at St. Petersburgh , impr oved b y a French translator into sinister, we can har dl y wonder that it should be deemed our Government was backin g out as fast as possible, and that in due time our ancient would be our dearest Ally. With all deference to the great men who are the org ans of the collective wisdom of the nation, we c annot hel p thinkin g , that whatever convenience there may be in changing-par ties and principles, and in the liberty to combat one day the opinion expressed the day before, it would be still better to take sincerity for a guide, and,hy ad vancing nothing that is not seriously believed to be mdernonecessay ofeonstantly changing principles and opinions. There is an inconvenience in not being believed, as well as in being believed. It is very convenient, no doubt, at present, that Lord Ellen borough should not be believed to have been sincere when he condemned the foreign policy of Mr. Cor ning, and threatened to impeach those who signed the Treaty of the 6th of July; but then it is also inconvenient that lie should not be believed to be one whit more sincere in his present approbation of what he before condemned. We are aware, that sincerity and honesty have their disadvantages; and that a man who will only say what he really thinks, and only act on his sincere and honest conviction, must occasionally allow an opportunity for a hit to escape unprofited by. But this temporary advantage is sometimes compensated for in the long run, by the confidence which a different course produces. W e would, therefore, thro w out as a hint for the con sideration of our State smen, whether it might not be well to inquire if a cha racter \ for candour arid lnv may-e not be actu a lly wort h somet hi ng .9 however, as it may, i t a p pears t h at t h e a d- Russians int o t h e P r i nc i pa li t i es i s a pop ul a r measure in France, an d th a t th e id e a of an un d er standing among th e ot h er P owers on this sub- B:I : e :ef o the sub jeet is out of the question. The next question is, this, consistency how far will the Russians be disposed to go, and THE ARMY. Major-General Lord Fitzroy Somerset held his usual levee to-day at the Horse Guards, as Military Secretary to Lord Hill, the General Commanding-in-Chief, which was very numerously attended. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—MAncit 17. Hardly any thing was done before the last hour in bet ting, although great alterations appeared from the chaff. Merchant has gone on his travels, and Folly has rather advanced. Little was done on either the Oaks or St. Leger.—They closed as follows : DERBY. 6 to 1 apt Hon. E. Petre's The Colonel (taken) 91 to 1 agst Duke of Rutland's Sorcery colt 10 to 1 agst Lord Grosvenor's Navarin 15 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Folly colt 16 to 1 agst Mr. Nowell's Amy colt 18 to 1 agst Mr. Thornhill's Merchant 20 to 1 agst Mr. Payne's Johanna Southcotc colt 25 to 1 agst Duke of Grafton's Druid 1000 to 10 agst Mr. Thornhill's Shoveller colt 1200 to 1000 Folly agst Merchant 10 to 1 agst Mariner and Merchant (taken) SPARRING AT THE ROYAL TENNIS COURT. Fishwick took a benefit to-day, and we fear, from the thin attendance, it proved a loss. Being St. Patrick's Day, the lads of the Shamrock were in high spirits, and seemed determined to make, as the Dublin Papers say, a party question of it. Sutton, a pedestrian of ability, and Mason, led off, and were followed by O'Donnel and Sam Foote (not the poet). In this bout the sham rock was almost put out of countenance, and the rose car ried off the laurels. The Erinites then selected for Mason, jun. Ned Murphy, who seemed determined for " a whack for Old Ireland," and let loose like a bull dog on coming to the scratch. He put on an expression of contempt, and fought like a Kilkenny cat. He set the Paddies all " quits." Swindon, a sort of cross-bred white African sailor, e! about 14 stone, was then pitted against Geordie (Scotch) Robinson. The sailor, as ugly a specimen as ever was imported, was absolutely made handsome by the finishing applications of the Scot. He rolled and pitched like a seventy-four off the Cape. He left with an an nouncement that he would fight any man of 12 stone. The next set-to was looked for with very great anxiety being no other than the long looked for one be tween Dick Curtis and the coal-heaver, who fought him some time since. The latter seemed little if any thing heavier, than the Pet, who seemed at first to do as he liked with him. " lie's not on Blackfriars-bridge now," cried old Scroggy, somewhat excited for the honor of the profession. Cooly, however, after receiving greatly the worst of the first few bouts, proved himself both good and game. His pushes, however, sent Dick to the rails with terrible force, and proved, that without the gloves his pulling and hauling would have incom moded him. They left with loud cheers. An amateur felt an inclination for a turn with Scroggy, but he soon left satisfied. Bittoon and Tom Oliver then had a turn, and exhibited the usual quantity of grimace and fudge. A sort of mania seemed to pervade the worthy heavers of coal, and they turned out another named Gould, for a try, . a young Dutch Sam, of about 12 stone ;he made a lunge but was floored clean in every bout, and will prove, . we hope, a salutary example to the impudence of his craft. He then challenged Bishop Sharpe for 1001. and a meeting was appointed by Sharpe at Belcher's on Monday. Alexander Reid challenged Bishop, who said he would fight him, if Sam would not meet him (Sharpe.) Alex. Reid and Bob Castles succeeded, and Fishwick returned thanks. The Duchess of GLOCESTER visited his MA szgrir yesterday, at his palace in St. James's. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE ho nottred Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Hoeß with their compan . to dinner yesterday, at their residence in Mansfield-street. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, ac companied by the Princess EMILIE of Carolath, paid a visit to the Princess AUGUSTA, on Sunday, at her resi dence in the King's Palace St. James's. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday after noon at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. The Minis ters present were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earls BATHURST, DUDLEY, and ABER DEEN ; Viscounts MELVILLE and PA LMERSTON ; Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Mr. Secretary Hustussost, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. HERRIES. The Council was:held at three o'clock, and continued sitting till five. Mr. CHARLES GRANT joined his colleagues about four o'clock, at which hour the Loan CHANCELLOR, left the Cabinet to attend his official duties in the House of Lords. At ten o'clock' last night another Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke Of WELLINGTON, Earls BATHURST, DUDLEY, and ABER DEEN; Viscounts MELVILLE and PALMERSTON ; Lord ELLENnottottort, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Mr. Secretary HusKlssoN, Mr. CHARLES GRANT, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. HERRIES. Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador, and Count D'ALCUDIA (on a special mission from the King of Sratx), transacted business with the Duke of WELLINGTON yesterday at the Treasury. Baron FALCK, the Ambassador from the Netherlands, and Count LunoLE, the Neapolitan Minister, transacted business, yesterday with the Earl of DUDLEY, at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. DUBLIN.—THE DRAWING ROOM.---On Thursday night, the first drawing-room for this year was held at the Castle. The Ladies PAGET presided. About half-past eight, the carriages began to draw up, and the company continued to arrive until about 10 o'clock. Since the drawing-room which was honoured by his MAJESTY'S presence, there was nothing to be compared With the present, either in splendour, magnificence of style, or numbers. Indeed, we may safely aver, that the first drawing-room held by our new VICEROY has surpassed any, thing of the kind which has been witnessed in Dublin for the last 20 years, the King's drawing-room of course excepted. About 800, at the lowest calculation, were presented on this occasion. —Freeman's Journal. His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT, with the Earl of UXBRIDGE, on Thursday rode to the Royal Hospital, on a visit to Sir GEORGE MURRAY. The Ladies PAGET accompanied them in an open carriage. On coming to the Royal Hospital-gate, his Excellency was ac costed by the sentinel, who inquired if the LORD LIEU TENANT was in the carriage. His Excellency informed him that he was the person, and requested that the guard should be turned in. His Excellency returned into town at five o'clock. —Dublin Freeman's Journal. RE-ELOPEMENT.—A rumour was very pre valent in town yesterday, that a young gentleman, most lt o is,er coin indeed o , a i materially connected with a highly interest in g cause, which underwent a long investigation lately , had a g ain taken flight, accompanied by the lady of his choice.
