One of the most diabolical attempts at the destruction of human life, recorded in the modnu history of the North of Scotland, was made yesterday se'nnight, at a farm in East Grange, situated about two miles from Forces, and ten miles from Elgin. A servant maid in' the em ploy of Mr. Fergusson having conceived an at one or more of the shearers on his farm, attempted t, de stroy the lives of the whole, eleven in number, by poison. The particular species of poison with which this inhuman creature endeavoured to accomplish her horribl e p urpose, has not been precisely ascertained, in consequence. of the time it had been on the stomach of her intended victims, prior to the arrival of the doctor. She had mixed it up in a kind of diet very general at farm-houses in this country, known by the name of sowens; and, as i s cus t omary i n the autumnal season, sent out the sowens to the shearers in the field. The sosvens. not possessing that smooth ness on the top which is usual, and having at the same time a watery and otherwise singular appearance, the reapers in the first instance determined on not taking them, hut sending them back. On second thoughts, however, it occurred to them that by so doing they would probably offend their mistress, and therefore they resolved on making their dinner of them. They accordingly did "so; but a few minutes only had elapsed after the conclusion of their meal, when every individual began violently to' vomit. They were then•all taken to the house; and in the course of the afternoon and evening the symptoms considerably abated. During the night they all slept some length of time, and in the morning thought themselves so far reco.:. vered as to be able to take the field. They accordingly did so, and for some time continued at their work ; but towards the afternoon they all relapsed, and were taken so seriously ill, that it was scarcely imagined any of them would reco ver. But a doctor having been sent for, he on his arrival administered some medicines to them, which 'speedily afforded them partial relief; and we are happy to learn that they are now all perfectly recovered. The physician, we are informed, expressed his conviction that the circum stance of their vomiting in the first instance, was the only thing that saved their lives. The unfeeling monster immediately after made the best of her way from her master's house; but having left some of her clothes in a house in the neighbourhood, she returned afterwards fur them, in a disguised state; but having been discovered by some farm servants and others about the place, they took her, and by way of inflicting a summary punishment on her, dragged her backwards and fotwards in a horse pond, until she was so besmeared with mud, as to render her former partial disguise as complete as it was possible to make it.—so much so, that as an Irishman would express it, she would scarcely have known it to have been herself. —Elgims Courier.

I believe, and the medical men gave it as their opinion, that there is no cause to apprehend that the fever will spread ; and that it is nothing more than what is in the garrison, (perhaps not yellow fever at all) every year at this season. All I can say is, I never enjoyed better health."— Glasgow Chronicle. THE LATE MR. WILLIAM' GIFFORD.— We believe it is not generally known that Mr. Guroan, fur many years; not only resided with the late Lord GROS. VENOR, but that he regularly accompanied his Lordship to Newmarket races, and was himself a considerable sporting man on the turf. One of Mr. GIFFORD'S most confiden _ tial friends in those days was the respectable Mr. WEA-. THERBY, of Oxenden-street, the publisher of the Sporting Calendar. At his house Grrewin frequently dined, in the company of the leading jockeys, from whom he gained considerable information, to the advantage of his Noble patron, and for his own benefit. On one particular race, however, GIFFORD was most sanguine, and risked upon the event of it all that he possessed, and rather more than all. This race GIFFORD lost, and in order to make up his differences on the day of reckoning, he was obliged to borrow fifty pounds from a friend, upon the credit of an edition of the " Davie(' and MaTiad," then on the point of being published in one volume. Subsequently GIFFORD was very fortunate on the turf, and a portion of the great wealth which he died possessed was derived from this source. TREMENDOUS GA; 4 E AT SEA WITH LOSS OF LlFE.—On'Friday last, the coast along the counties of Elgin and Banff was visited with a tremendous gale from the north-east direction, which has been productive of con siderable damage to property, together with loss of life.— A fine new schooner, " The Traveller of Sunderland," commanded by Mr. Beowx, broke loose front her moor ings at Hopeman, a small creek about six miles northward of this place. She was driven ashore a little to the west ward of Ilopema n , among a few small rocks, on one of which she w as th rown, being the time, without h av i ng received withouts spy sensible or injury.—.ba!l ballast a t at b t i h o e n fi g i i l u t g a h t i r g e ar o t R id o e t teShe still remains s ecure l y i n the same situation ; and it is expected Another shneswioitillate, boat, th at e g e a ai t i a le ashore afetoffi on the same day between Sp e y mouth and Portgordon. b She ,had foundered at sea, and the whole of the crew, con sisting of six men, had been unfortunately drowned.— Three of them had wives, and a family of six children each. Another boat was also upset about half a mile off Portgordon, and two of the crew, consisting of four individuals, unhappily met with a watery gr ave ._ The others clung to the buoys and nets which were in the heat. One of the two who escaped with their lives was a little boy; and I it is worthy of being recorded as an in stance of his wonderful presence of mind in such a perilous situation, that perceiving the buoys, in consequence of the nets, were making no mogress towards the shore, he deli berately took out a penknife lie had in his packet, and cut the net s f rom th e b uo y s , by which means he was drifted ashore, after being tossed about for two hours. Both were quite exhausted, and one insensible, wh en the y reac hed the shore; but we are happy to be able to add, they have since recovered. It is reported, and we fear will unhap pily prove true, that a boat belonging to some place in the neighbourhood of Inverness foundered tie same day off Wick ; and that nine individuals, being the whole en board, were unfortunately drowned. Upwards of a dozen boats, lying in their mooring at the port of Buckie, were, on the e inio day, dashed to pieces,...Elpin SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER MEETING. DONCASTER, FRIDAY NIGHT. The sport to-day was very good, and proved the supe riority of Mr. Petre's stud, at the same time that it proved Bessy Bedlam to be a first rater. _ Colonel King has of fered to run her against the Colonel at the York Spring Meeting next year, in case she_ is not sold, (we b e li eve that a treaty is on foot for transferring her to the Royal stud), and there is good reason, to expect that Mr. Petre will accept the challenge. Several private sales of racers have been made in the course of the week. Lord Fitz william had sold Mulatto to Mr. Lumley for 700 guineas it is said, but Lord Milton's eldest son having expressed a desire that lie should be retained for him as a hunter, his noble grandfather re-purchased the horse, and Mulatto is now appropriated to the Hon. Master Wentworth. Lord Cleveland has purchased of Mr. Bailey, his two-yr-old colt, Tamboff, by Blacklock—Alfana, who ran second to Lord Sligo's Cant, for the Champagne Stakes—the price is stated to exceed 2,000 guineas. Sir W. Milner has sold his ch. c. Malek, by Blacklock, to General Sharpe for 600 guineas ; Mr. Houldsworth's Scarborough is sold to Mr. Quarton for 250 guineas, and Popsy has been purchased. by Mr. Biggs. The following are particulars of the running : Three-yr-oid Filly Stakes of 20 sovs. each, with 20 goys. added by the Corporation ; Sst. 41b. each.—St. Leger Course. (8 subscribers.) Col.

The whale order in which Bessy was brought to the post by her new trainer, Mr. Perrins, of Melton (the suc cessful trainer of Laurel), and the admirable style in which she was jockied by Nicholson, are worthy of the highest commendation. Emmelina took the lead at a brisk pace, Cora next her, and the other two in their wake ; at the top of the hill Cora took up the running. Emmelina at the same time dying away, and Lord. Milton's filly making a push for the front. Sharp work followed between the two ; but Cora beat Mariqueta off at the rails. Bessy then got into play, went up to Cora, ran pretty close with her to the distance, out of mere civility, and then, with the most perfect ease, went a-head, and without the least difficulty won in a common canter—rode by Nicholson; Cora, by Johnson ; Mariqueta, by Lye ;' and Emmeline, by Templeman.

Even and 5t04 on Nonplus-4 to 1 agst Granby-4 to aget Medoro. The result of this race proves what a palpable difference the length of the course will make in a race. On Tues day Nonplus, at two miles, beat Granby cleverly ; now, at four miles, Granby beats Nonplus without giving him a chance. The race was a complete trial of strength and speed. At the word " Go," off_ went the favourite Non plus, at the strongest pace we ever witnessed in a four mile race. He was followed by Granby and the other two in line ; in this order they went all round, the pace im proving rather than falling off. At the beginning of the rails Granby and the mare came out together, Nonplus being now done up, and Medoro with little appearance of. winning ; the two leading horses made a good race half within the distance, when Granby shot a-head, and won easy by two lengths, to the astonishment and discomfiture of the numerous backers of Nonplus, who, we should say, ought to be kept for two-mile races. The winner was rode with excellent judgment by Templeman, Lunaria by George Nelson, Medoro by Lye, and Nonplus by Conolly, who showed some very pretty riding.

In the second heat Jenny Mills had it all her own way, and won easy ; rode by Lye, Jupi ter by Johnson. Thus closed a meeting of unparalleled interest, not only to Yorkshire, of which it is deservedly the pride arid boast, but to all England—a meeting, at once animating and de lighting a vast concourse of both sexes and of ull classes. The Leger day was a complete holyday, and never was witnessed such a spectacle as it presented. The procession of equipages from the Mansion-house and new betting rooms was ceaselet-s, and so.dense as to supply a constant stream to both sides of the grand pavilion that received this assemblage of fashion. Moderate persons estimate that twice the number of spectators were on the stand, and about the ground, as collected on the last St. Leger day, which itself,boasted of a splendid attendance : others could certainly find a limit to their estimates, but all agree that a More glorious exhibition never on any occasion ap peared at Doncaster or any other races. The day was throughout one of dazzling brightness and kindling warmth, which made the whole multitude sparkle with glee. We should mention, however, that some haters of human plea sure—some would-be saints—had placed conspicuously on the road to the race course, and in the midst of this happy assemblage, placards, with the following grave announce ment :—" The end of all these things is death !" The attention of the stewards, Lord Morpeth and the Hon. J. S. Wortley, was unremitting, and their excellent arrange ments tended in no slight degree to the general gratifica tion ; nor should we omit to mention the venerable Judge, Mr. Lockwood, who for the 53d year executed the difficult duties assigned him, with an ease, accuracy, and tact, which were satisfactory to all, and in the highest degree honourable to himself. The whole proceedings went off with extraordinary eclat, and proved, indeed, a triumph for Doncaster. A great number of the exalted visiters to Via races came with the special purpose of attending the Yorkshire Festival, and many others with the intention of attending Lord Wilton's races at• Heaton-park, near Manchester, which take place on Thursday and Friday next, and which, in the number and value of the stakes, high rank of the visiters, and the celebrity of the horses, are decidedly the first vate races in the kingdom. Heaton-park will be the scene of true old " English hospitality ; and we anticipate, from the number of horses already sent there, that sport of the first quality will reward those who promote and visit them. One of the prizes will be a gold cup, value 100 guineas, called the Matilda Cup, g i ven b y t h e Bon. E. Petre, in commemoration of the victory obtained by his mare last year. It must be mentioned, in justice to the Corporation, that they. kept the course effectually clear of all low gamblers, although this achievement cost a serious•affray on Monday between the police (which, under Mr. Tymbs, of Don caster, assisted by Bishop and Lavender, was in the highest extent effective) and these public plunderers. The stewards for next year are the Eat's of Chester field and Wilton. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

BRISTOL, SEPT. 20.--Miss FOOTE, after having played with her accustomed success during the last three weeks at Ramsgate, Margate, and Tunbridge Wells, has been levying severe contributions on the good folks of this town. She ,is to finish her engagement here to-morrow, with her benefit ; and judging from the great houses which her commanding talent has attracted during the last week (and which is even less questio.iable), the appearance of the box-book, she will have good reason to speak favourably of the theatrical tact that has been ex hibited in her favour at Bristol. She has two or three minor engagements to fulfil in Yorkshire, in her way to Edinburgh, where she is to appear on the Gth of October. fler engagement there is for twelve nights, and she may well be proud of her success (it being considered always as the seat of profound knowledge), that during the last three years she has, on every engagement, eclipsed even the laurels of the most favoured of her contemporaries. One of our young noblemen, whose fortune is as princely as his expenditue is lavish, arrived a few weeks ago at Dieppe, and took up his abode at the hotel of a well-known Englishman, long established there. His Lordship was not accompanied by a single friend, but he gaVe directions te the innkeeper to give refreshment to some of the men btionging to his yacht, should they come on shore. The first day his Lordship dined with Lord ; the second day, with another friend ; the third day he returned their civility at his own table. On the fourth morning he called for his bill, and looking at the amount, read 130 Louis d'or. His Lordship's friends advised him to resist the payment. He observed to his host, " I am not much in the habit of canvassing my bills, but of all the extortionate charges ever brought to me, yours is the most flagrant ; however, take off one-fourth, and I will pay the remainder without complaint." " Lord, I should do an injustice to my wife and family were Ito take off a sixpence." " Well, you are the most un scionable rascal- but here, take the cheque." Which the obsequious impostor did do, muttering, " I hope your Lordship does not really think I am the most unconscionable rascal." - . BROADSTAIRS, SEPT. 17.—The visiters and fashionables of this retired and fashionable little town were yesterday thrown into the greatest consternation by a tragic accident which befel Mr. Jos. Roaras, Esq., of No. 3, Lincoln's-inn, New-square. The unfortunate gentleman was making a short stay at Margate, and a friend of his left him in charge of his.phaeton during a temporary ab sence; and the day being particularly inviting, ha %vas in duced to substitute the phaeton in preference to his own close carriage in an excursion to this place. He incau tiously placed one of his chariot horses in the vehicle, which, being built for a much smaller animal, galled the poor • beau in a dr ea df u l manner , an d on d escen di ng Broad stairs-hill, stairs-hill, the pressure of the shafts against his sides caused him to become restive, w h en M r . ROGERS wished to trans fer the reins into the hands of his coachman, who was seated in the hind dickey. Unfortunately in the attempt the reins s napped, and the infuriated animal, finding his head at liberty, dashed forward with frightful velocity, until his career was impeded by the projecting wall.in front of the house at the corner of Albion-street. The concussion it occasioned dashed the carriage to pieces, and threw the unfortunate gentleman into the area of the house, which caused so se vere a fracture of the skull as to occasion death instanta neously ; his lady, who accompanied him, was cast in an opposite direction ; her thigh was shockingly fractured, and she still remains in a very precarious state. , The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death ;" but to mark their sense of the impropriety of trusting an animal, where a doubt existed of his having previously been unruly, in a carriage only calculated for a very sedate and quiet animal, levied a deodagd of 71. I as. on the horsAyand 10s. on the carriage. SCOTLAND. The Edinburgh papers contain an account of a very sin gular and atrocious case of seduction and breach of promise of marriage to more thin One female by a clergyman of the Relief Church, a hotly of dissenters from the established church of Scotland. The facts are given in the Edinburgh Evening Post, under the head of " Report of the Pro ceediuge of the Relief Synod, in the case of the Rev. Wm. Craig, Minister of the Relief Congregation, Dalkeith."_.. The report is said to contain an account of the case as far as decency would permit it to be stated; but of those who peruse the report, many will, perhaps, be of opinion that decency would require mote suppressions than the reve rend publishers have thought necessary. It appears that Mr. Craig was ordained to the Relief Chapel in Dalkeith, where he now is, in July 1827. * In October following, he was charged upon libel, at the instance of the Relief Pres bytery of •Edinburgh, with conduct derogatory to his pro fession, and in particular with having criminally cohabited with Mies Elizabeth Jamieson, residing near Kirkintulloch, during the three years preceding his ordination at Dal keith. He was also charged with having made a promise of marriage to a Miss Margaret Fergus, while holding cri minal intercourse with Miss Jamieson; which promise be denied, and refused to fulfil. The whole matter was brought before the Synod, which met at Edinburgh last May, where he was found guilty in part, and ordered to be suspended from the exercise of his ministry. The libel served on him by the Presbytery, after poi n ti ng ou t th e impropriety and criminality of living in carnal communica tion with a woman, without being lawfully married to her —the holding of meetings with females in suspicious cir cumstances—the violation of direct promises of marriage —the carrying on an epistolary correspondenc e with them for some sinful and improper end—and, finally, the tkser tion ei them, to the iajury of their peace and reputation— went on to charge him with one and all of these crimes, in asmuch as he had for three years kept up a criminal con nexion with Miss Elizabeth Jamieson, having given her reason to expect and believe that he would make her his wife, by the fiequency -of his visits, the language he used, and by au engagement usually called a line, or promise of marriage. Moreover, he was charged with having given a promise of marriage, in the year 1825, to a Mitre Margaret Fergus, residing near Johnston, and having written many letters to her, conceived in terms of the most ardent affec tion, and contemporaneous with his intercourse with Miss Jamieson. Farther, that afteCall his promises and professions o f love—his long-continued and flattering attention to these ladies—he had deserted them both in 1827. It appeared also that, in his love letters, he had used many expressions of an indelicate and profane character, wholly inconsistent with his profession, and calculated to corrupt the minds of those to whom they were addressed. In support of these charges the evidence of witnesses was adduced, as well as of the documents themselves. Miss Jamieson's examination, which lasted about four hours, brought to light facts of a very disgusting and revolting nature. She deported, that after several visits to her father's house, Air. Craig was re ceived on the footing of her suitor. That, in a short time afterwards, he offered to take liberties with her, which she always repelled, until one Saturday, when he overcame her sense of duty ; but that it was only in consequence of his having given her a solemn promise of marriage, first ver bally, and then by a " line" in his own hand-writing, and numerous letters, addressed to her, expressive of unalter able attachment. That these letters, so necessary to es tablish the credibility of her testimony, he afterwards. ob tained from her, under the pretence that they would be useful to him in the composition of a sermon which he in tended to write on the fall of man ! That, after that evening, he made constant visits to her father's house for the space of three years; and during that time they, in certain respects, lived as husband and wife : and, upon her remonstrating with him upon their manner of life, be told her they were as well married as they Could be, except for a few words from the mouth of a minister. She stated that this intercourse had been kept up between them until he removed to Dalkeith. A. female servant deposed that she had seen acts between the parties which confirmed the charge of criminal intercourse. She immediately reported what she had seen to a Aire. Jarvis, who deposed that she had received the communications. at the time stated.— Another witness swore to having seen the reverend inas tnorato climbing up to Miss Jamieson's bedroom window. Several other witnesses were examined in support of the charges, and two letters were read, the only two preserved out of 117 said to have been addressed to Miss Jamieson. These letters contained expressions of everlasting attach- couched occasionally in the language of Scripture, impiously mixed with obscenity. The committee on- this case gave the following deliverance on the counts of the libel . :—" Upon the charge of criminal .correspondence with Miss Jamieson, 33 voted not proven, 13 voted guilty, and four voted not guilty. Upun the charge of breach of promise of marriage to Miss Jamieson, 27 voted not proven, 17 voted guilty, and four not guilty."_ The next charge was a breach of promise of mar riage to Miss Fergus. The disappointed lady deponed that the letters produced in Court were those received by her from the Rev. William Craig. That be obtained a promise from her that she should remain unmarried until be obtained a settlement in life. That upon that event taking place, he most solemnly declared he would unite himself to her alone, and she now believed he had since come under promise of marriage to another lady !! ! Being now confronted by both claimants, this clerical CaptainMacheath attempted to get off by a non nii ricordo. Before the letters were produced, he solemnly denied having corresponded with Miss Fergus for some years ; but upon their production, he offered, in explanation, that they bad entirely escaped his memory. Finding himself rather mistaken on this point, Ire was less positive as to the other, and would scarcely trust himself to deny the possibility of his having also given Miss Fergus verbal promises of marriage. The letters, which were very numerous, were then read; they were full of burning love, vows of eternal attachment, and panegyrics on constancy I The gallant divine is quite expert at snaking presents and assignations; and gives the lady some learned instructions about the tucks and scallops of a muslin gown. The letters addressed to Miss Fergus are remarkable for the extravagance of the amorous style in which they are composed, except the last, in which he rejects her claim, which is no less remarkable for want of feeling and an im pudeat disregard of truth. One of the numerous love letters is written in the form of a heart, with the letters " M. F.," the initials of Miss Fergus 's name, in the centre. After the minutes of evidence had been read, Mr. Craig entered on his defence before the Synod, but no copy of it has been published. lie produced a plan of the kitchen, to refute the female servant's deposition, and to prove the impossibility of her seeing what took place from where she vi was. Several respectable persons were called, who bore ample testimony to Mr. Craig's character. The mem bers of the Synod were then heard at full length, but we are not favoured with any abstract of their speeches. It appears, however, that many of Mr. Craig's reverend friends were disposed to be very indulgent to him. One reverend gentleman affected to regard the amorous epistles by which the two deluded women had been so cruelly imposed upon as mere innocent valentines. Upon th e charge of breach of promise of marriage with Miss Fergus, ette yd 4 5 members of the Synod voted guilty, and o ne o not guilty. Upon the charge of indecency and theim piety letters on the record, the Synod wer e unani mousthey agreed solemnly to rebuke Mr. Craig, and to suspend him from the exercise of his ministry sine die —aye, and until he gave the Presbytery of Edinburgh satisfactory evidence of his repentance and contrition fur his bins. Mr. Craig acquiesced in the sentence,' and took his solemn re buke like an obedient son of the church. Moreover, he .seems to have repented with all his might, as the Presby tery were very soon satisfied of his contrition. His sine die suspension only lasted six weeks, at the end of which time he rose like a phoenix out of his sackcloth and ashes, was reinstated in the pulpit, and in the favour of the ladies, who considered him a martyr for their sake, as it' nothing had happened.

(FROM THY TIMES.) The loyal Portuguese who have sought refuge in this country, are overwhelmed with joy at the pro spect of seeing their infant Sovereign in the midst of them, and the reflecting part of them still more so, at the confidence which they are now justified in en tertaining., that the ,British Government will not violate its duty to a faithful and useful ally in the moment of distress, for the sake of serving an odious and irreconcileable enemy. This consideration is one which affects the interests of Englishmen, no less than the happiness of the Portuguese exiles them selves. W e do not remember to have seen stronger marks of apprehension or disgust in the public mind of England, on any former occurrence illustrative of her relations with fOreign States, than on the de velopment of those successive facts which lead to a very general suspicion that the cause of rebellion, usurpation, and tyrannical government, in the Eu ropean dominions of our natural friend Don Pedro, was secretly favoured by the King of England's Ministers, to the sacrifice at once of every. feeling for liberty, policy, fidelity, and honour. .It is quite certain that since the administration of affairs fell into the hands of the Duke of Wellington, an im pression was gradually produced on the minds o f the Portuguese people, and strengthened, unques tionably, by that which has almost to the present hour prevailed throughout the British nation, that the Canning policy towards Portugal had been wholly abandoned, and the course of that enlight ened Minister, which, without overstepping a single barrier imposed by the rights of independent States upon the free agency of others, had powerfully . supported the crown and constitution of a king dom almost identified with England,--that such a course of action was (it is too late to ask how wisely—though we think not unwisely) to be thenceforth superseded by one of open indifference to the obligations of faith and friendship, but of vigorous, though disguised, protection to the com mon enemy of Great Britain and her ally. The infatuated speech of Lord Aberdeen in the House of Lords was most injurious to the character of the British Government. In his quality of Secretary of State, he might have forborne, if he pleased, to say one word upon the merits of the two belligerent parties in Portugal. We do not affirm that Mi. Canning would have so shirked the subject—quite otherwise; but, undoubtedly, allowance would have been so far made for the natural instincts of the Right Hon. Gentleman's present successor, as to take away all surprise at Lord Aberdeen's forgetting (if he had done no more) to bear a kindly testimony to the Royal charter which gave freedom to Portugal, or to the merits and principles of that part of the Por tuguese nation which upheld it. That Lord Aber deen, however, should not only have abstained from expressing his admiration of the loyal and patriotic Portuguese who made England, jointly with the charter, their watchword—that he should not only have neglected the opportunity of reprobating the base miscreants who paid court to Miguel by their joint abuse of Britain and of liberty—but that he should have added to this double oversight a com pliment to the serviles, as being " friends of Eng land," and an attack upon the advocates of their Sovereign's charter, as enemies to all govern ment whatever !"—this did, assuredly, exceed the measure of endurance practised by ordinary • men, and was well fitted to persuade the world that nothing too extravagant could be asserted of the evil bias against Portuguese liberty in which such lan. guage had its birth. Sir F. Lamb's (our Ambassa dor 's) resignation of a power which he could no longer exercise but for the ruin of the charter, was a second ground of distrust against the secret intim , dons of the Ministry. The eager acknowledgment of a paper blockade of the island of Madeira was a third. Are we wrong, then, in stating that Minis ters have much evil imputation to get rid of, and that the event now about to be accomplished— namely, the arrival of the legitimate Queen of Por tugal—gives them an opportunity of effacing, in the eyes of all England, a blot upon their pclicy which no honest English Minister could look at without feeling himself and his country alike de graded by it ? There are individuals—partisans of Don Miguel no doubt—who affect to hope that the English nation will not afford any such reception to the Queen of Portugal, as would in its consequences amount to an interference between cc the belligerent parties." This hope, inconceivable as it may be to any upright mind, we have heard expressed by a certain foreigner,—a spy, as we are sure, of the Usurper's. If this were to be acted upon by the British Government, then must every other branch of public law be equally sacrificed, lest the effect of our discharging our duty should prove indirectly un favourable to some different culprit in some other quarter of the globe. We have already, in the exe cution of what Ministers professed to be their " duty" as neutrals, worked all-the bad consequences that could well be imagined between the royalist and traitor parties in Portugal; for, whatever the motives of our policy may have been, it is our measures which have raised the Usurper. Where, then, the consequence of our conduct was destruc tive to a good cause, we were nevertheless to pursue it without shrinking ; but where a strict ob servance of the rights of friendship and hospitality may eventually serve that cause, there are creatures base enoughto remonstrate against our fulfilling them.
