Lord Strangford, rejecting all other treaties,' conquered Portugal, which had thrOwn oil' the yoke of the tyrant of E ur qp e. It is seen in the Congr es s of Vienna, to which your Ambassadors were not admitted. It is seen in the spoils of the battle of Vittoria, appropriated to herself by England alone. 4 .

Despatches were this morning received by Go vernment from Sir FREDERICK LAMB, our Ambas= sador at Lisbon, as also from Sir Wu TON, the Commander of the Forces, and from Vice-, Admiral Lord AMELIUS BEAUCLERE, commanding the British squadron in the Tagus. The nature of these documents is of a similar ten- dency to what will be found under the head of " Lisbon Gazettes" and private correspondence from • • that quarter. The situation of affairs was the most dis. cordant imaginable—distrust and fear were pictured on every countenance—even the minions of Don . MtjtJEL, though perpetrating the most brutal deeds, in his name, displayed strong symptoms of doubt " 1 "' and alarm as to' the next freak of their Absolute Master. The prOsehce of the British troopsis the only guarantee or public safety, and it is deplorable •to contemplate what ruin and havoc must ensue on their departure. The conduct of Don MIGUEL has been such that he ought at once 'to be denounced as a traitor to his country, and banished to Vienna, if not sent in chains to the Brazils, •in order to be dealt with ai a traitor to his brother and law- fail SOVEREIGN. It is the mere . mockery of for bearance to hold any terms with a fellow so lost to all honourable feeling--and so bigotted to prieitly supremacy that he only performs the sacred duties of taking an oath with,the,firrn intention of breaking •it. With such a person, no compact can be held, because' tiO H teriiis can be binding. His sole aim is to ...deceive that he may exult in the success . of, his in famous. designs. His late .conduct in. this country, and his subsequent'behaviour in Portugal aire as dis tinct as light and darkness. Hypocrisy' has' never had a more fiuished nor a more willing profesior than Don' MlGUEL—always excepting FRDINANI3 of Spain and METTERNICH of Austria. The perusal of the information in another part 0r our Paper will afford a striking . insight into the duplicity, cowardice, and base ingratitude of Don isiltatm. and his insatiate mother. But the• wonder is how our Government can tolerate the .continuance of such abominable conduct, after all the expence to which we have .gone to support the. Constitutional System. That the intentions of Mtn GuEt, are pretty evident will be seen from a Proclama tion, which he, was to have' distributed immediately on the departure of our troops. Nothing short of 'absolute power will satisfy him. He must be King. In that document he tells his real sentiments. After - appealing to the pride and vanity of the Por tuguese, he ,recounts all the wonders which Por tugal had done in the three quarters of .the globe, and considers how degrading it must be 'to the Portuguese to be subject to Brazil— ancient Colony ! But the most , - - part is that where he says that he shall have no, more • treaties with England, because they were all founded i 9 a commercial speculation for the benefit of Eng land, as If Portugal had not a mutual interest in them But it were idle to argue upon such a barefaced rhodomontade of ingratitud6 and falsehood. Should MIGUEL proceed in his present career, we trust that he will speedily meet that fate which his 4 ", Pi le r Y merits. " I le following is from our Correspondent in Lis bon, a n d gives a pretty faithful picture of the real state' of thin gs i t i t h at un f or t una t e ca pital : :s',l4,ll‘laacit 22.—Since writing to you by last r w ae n c et ; matters have - been going on here from bad to alt hough not to•such a height of misery and disor der if the whol e o f our troop s had left, as was intended ; but if th e answer to Sir Frederick Lamb's despatch should be an' order for their being. withdrawn, it would have been }etter f°l '' many that they had never been Bent at all. — Their preseite e h ere now s olely prevents the most bigotted and cruel persecution from being carried to as great a len g th as it : ever tad.been by the beloved Ferdinand, and couwqueatly, the poor people, who cannot afford to leave the country, l oo k to England as their only hope of balration. This hope, . oe probably, rather fear . t; of our presence, has also lept some of the Portu guese troops faithful to the ,Constitutional cause as yet, althoUgh . 1 have been told that the Prine has paid a visit to • some of the barracks in the night, to ascer tain how the soldiers were disposed. It is true, that sol diers in general are mere machines, and will side with those who pay best or promise the greatest reward, but although an address from the Minister at War, in the name of the Prince Itegent, • to the Army, appeared in the Lisbon Ga zette a few days ago, calling on the soldiers to be faithful to him ? and putting them in mind of the services which they rendered to hiM in 1823, when he upset the former constitution, none of the Regiments have as yet made any movement in his favour ; on - the contrary the people of St. Mies a few days ago, endeavoured to cause the 6th Regiment of the Line to shout" Don Miguel the First, and absolute King," which they returned by " Long live Pedro the Fourth, and the Constitution !" - A row was the result, when the soldiers, in their own defence, fired upon the mob, and killed and wounded about twenty persons. Indeed, that place is in such a disturbed state, that all the foreign merchants had to send their establishments on board such ships (not Portuguese) as they could find y in the harbour. I understand that two of the Masters of the Uni versity of Coimbra have also been killed in an af fray, in which they had endeavoured to excite the people to Absolutism. Notwithstanding all this, how ever, provided our troops are withdrawn, the Constitution cannot stand, as all means are at work under sanctign of the Prince, to effect this purpose. Many persons are sur prised how this young man could have imposed so much on the people of England. Those. who know him best here, describe him as cruel, treacherous, and cowardly.— Of late be has been in.such fear, that he will plot go from one part of the Palace to the other without a person walk ing before him witha drawn sword, and since his arrival he has not tasted any food except that cooked by his nurse.-- I was happy to learn, after despatching my last letter, that the Marquis . of Fronteira had escaped, and accompanied Count Villa Flor to England. The latter Nobleman left two horses, which he had received from the Princess (late Regent) as a p4sent list year; in charge of Lord W. Pau ' lett and another British' officer, but Dpn Miguel had them taken away by force ; it is evident how he would treAt the • Count himself if he were in his power. Baron Quintella, one of the richest Noblemen in the country, is preparing . to quit Portugal ; and poor General Saldanha, who arrived • here the day before yesterday by the steam-packet from England, has not. landed, but sought protection on board one of our ships of war. Such is the state of things in this unhappy country. It is *with sincere regret that we perceive the exertions of some of our cotemporaries to advocate the introduction of Poor Laws into Ireland. One of them, too,. is 'a great Political Economist, and yet, strangely enough, seems enamoured of a system which is reprobated by all the great authorities .on that interesting but despised science. ADAM SMITH, MALTHUS, and RICARDO, differ on other points, but with one consent they reprobate those odious laws which, founded on. erroneous and impracticable notions of charity, threaten to achieve what is their 'obvious tendency—the destruction of 'national pro perty and manly independence. It is surely pot necessary at this time of day to point out the errors of the system 7 -exposed as - they have been by the authorities to whom we have referred, but we will just allude to one- or two steps 'in the chain of reasoning by which their absurdity is plainly demonstrated. In the first place, it is clear 1 that tyre most fertile spots of the earth are left un cultivated., where men have not an 'exclusive interest in . • the soil—where private property,, in short, is un known. •This principle equally affects the plains where the American Indians subsist by hunting, and 'the 'commons of our own country, which are, of course; never cultii , ated till appropriated by an En closure Bid. Men-will not sow where others may .reap. • Taxation' for state purposes •is no, violation of this principle,' being for the benefit of the taxed, or in. discharge of their just debts. But the Poor Rates' are not levied directly or indirectly, for the benefit of those Who pay them. They are. a palpable violation of private property. The Squire of the parish is no longer the owner of his estate. 'He may have the largest share ; but there is not a pauper in the parish who has not a vested interest in the property. -In short, it is already a common ; and whenever the shares become more equal—whenever the pauper's proportion increases to a leVel with that of the Squire, (a process now going forward with great activity); the land will, of course, be deSerted, and the population must be reduced to what can subsist on the animals that graze On - it in its natural state. • This then is the principle whio is to be intro duced, to raise Ireland from her present degradation. Because . the yellow fever is raging you wish to intro- duce the cholera. Because it has been for centuries kept in a flame by one party domineering over, the others, you must cure the. evil by making them what England is•—a Joint Stock Company of Paupers—where the spirit of man no longer revolts at being dependant ou Others—but basely cringes to the bloated and insolent dispenser: of the Parish Rates. We ate blessed with nearly a thousand Legis -lators, of one sort or another, and really it is too bad that none of them can suggest any cure for Ireland,. better than doubling her Ills. .But We would especially call on the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department to persist in his opposition, to this infatuated project, and by doing .. so he will redeem part of the evil which his unfortunate View of the Catholic Question has mainly contributed to perpetuate in that devoted country. Hamburg}, Papers of the 29th ult. say that the Russian Army aetually crossed the Pruth on the 13th of March : HAMEURGH, MARC - 1 28. We have received, from Good authority, the news that the Russian troops actually crossed the Pruth on the 13th of this month. • ODESSA, ILARCH 7, Only 40 of the merchantmen have been engaged as transports. Some have also been freighted at Taganrog for the same purpose, at the high rate of three rubles per `chetwert per month. The report of the prohibition of the exportation of wheat is opt confirmed. An Austrian ship, with a Cargo of wheat,. will sail with the first fair . wind. Some of our articles Of export (for instance, tallow) have already fallen considerably in•price.

COURT OF CHANCERY. REGUL,.kTIoNS TOR THE :FUTURE PROCEED INGS IN CHANCERY. His LORDSHIP. said—lt -may be convenient , for Me to inform" the Bar that I have delivered to the Registrar - a series of orders, which have been pre- pared by the advice, and with the assistance, of the other Judges of this Court, the . Master of the Rolls, and the Vice-Chancellor, founded on the proposi tions recommended by his Majesty's Commissioners, and which are to come into operation on the first day of next, Easter Tenn.. The orders embrace a con siderable number of the propositions; with respect to the propositions which remain, they divide them selves into two classes ; one of the classes cannot be carried into effect .without an Act of Parliament. That part of the practice of the Court which de pends on Acts of Parliament can only be altered by the Legislature. The propositions that relate to office cannot be carried into effect without pecuniary aid, and for whickan application must be made to Parliament., The . Commissioners have recommended the total abolition of orders of courSe, 7 --we have not adopted that proposition—we thijik an application for such a purpose should be male to the Legislature, because the adoption of such a proposition will most mate rially affect the ancient emoluments of the officers of the Court,and we think it right an opportunity should be given of making an application to Parliament for a compensation to these officers. An Act is being prepared for that purpose, and will very shortly be presented to Parliament. With respect to the other propositions the orders adopting them are also in a state of preparation, and will from time to time be issued with_some exceptions and modifications which .experieke has . suggesed, until the whole re commended by, the Commissioners shall hive been carried into effect. Mr.• AGAR inquired whether stich order Would be printed and disseminated? His LokinsmP—l 'have delivered them to the Registrar—l hire reason to believe they are already printed, and I have no doubt they will be imme diately'afterWards circulated. Mr. AGAR presumed that the Bar might have copies by applying for them to the Registrar ? His' LORDSHlP—Certainly. The Registrar will have the goodness to get printed copies, and com pare these with the manuscript. I . will take care that the Bar shall have copies of them without any further application. 'Mr. AGAR said, that unless the Bar had copies of them, it would be--impossible for Counsel to know in what way . they were to proceed. Bs LORDSHIP—You' shall have copies. They are signed by the Master of the Rolls and the Vice- Chancellor, and it is but proper for me to say they have been prepared.chiefly by the Master of the Rolls, who was the most effective Member in the Commission, I believe, who sat in the chair, and to whom lam undergreat obligations for what he has done.'

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. •Sir,—ln your report. of the judgment passed on Sir Robert Steele, for writing a clialledge , to Captain Garth to fight a duel, all the affidavits on the part of Captain Garth were given, but that of Lieut. Steele, in corrobora tion of Sir Robert Steele's affidavit, was entirely suppressed. Your sense of justice, therefore, as an eminent public jour nalist, will, I am persuaded, give insertion to an abstract of Mr. Steele's affidavit, as well as to the letter written by Mr. Howard (Captain Garth's attorney), on his returning Sir Robert Steele's draft, which was given to cover the money paid by Howard, on Captain Garth's account; to Sir Ro bert Steele, but which was deManded and returned en its appearing by the accounts that the money was due from Captain Garth to Sir Robert Steele,—they were both read in open Court. t' Jonathan Steele, of Hawthorn Dean Place, in the county of Middlesex, maketh oath and saith, that he met Sir Robert Steele, Lady Astley, and Captain Garth, on their arrival in London, on the 17th day of December, 1826 : that they came to the St. James's Hotel, Jerniyn street, in Sir Robert Steele's carriage : that he was fre quently in their company there, and elsewhere : that the conduct of Lady Astley to Sir Robert Steele was unitOrm, friendly, and confidential : that on the day subsequent to , that of Captain Garth's departure. for Dorsetshire, deponent I (]rank tea and spent the evening with Sir Robert Steele, and oesf'sLHaodteylA: Astley y t to th s er i e r \ R va o s be n r e t a t e d r y a t A i alo s n tl e i n y , the the e bli S a t v Steele, nor was there any appearance of constraint, reserve, or displeasure in her demeanour towards him, indeed Lady Astley expressed herself to deponent as being obliged to Sir Robert Steele : that on the evening of • Captahr Garth's return to town, that is to say, on the evening of Friday, the 29th of December, this deponent accompanied Sir Robert Steele, Lady Astley, and Captain Garth, .to the theatre. and afterwards drank tea with them at the St. James's Hotel, and that on the following evening, he also accom panied them to the theatre, and again drank tea with them after their return, 'at the said Hotel, and that on both these evenings, the same uni'eserved intimacy existed as before Captain Garth's departure for Dorsetshire: that on the following morning (Sunday, Dec. 31), Sir Robert Steele left town for Brighton,,,Captain Garth taking leave of him in the most cordial manner, and urging his early return. Deponent further states, that he afterwards saw Lady Astley alone, who asked deponent how soon Sir Robert Steele might be expected in town, and expressed an anxious wish for his return."

His Royal High ness paid visits to the Duchess of KENT and the Princess Sornia, at their apartments in the King's Palliee at Ken sington; to the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, at Gloucester house, Park-lane; the Princess AUGUSTA, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's ; and to the Earl and Countess of CASSIUS, at their residence in Privy-01%1 ms. WINDSOR, APRIL' I,—Yesterday forenoon JEFFREY WYATVILLE, Esq. had an.audience of his MA JESTY at the Royal Lodge by appointment ; and at o'clock the pony phaetons having been ordered, the Kinc, accompanied by Mr. WYATVILLE, drove to Cumberland Lodge, and surveyed some improvements lately made in the out-buildings attached to that edifice. From thence his MAJESTY proceeded to Virginia Water, where several alte rations have beea in progress for the last three months, particularly. in the Fishing Pavilion. This little building, originally scarcely snore than a summer retreat on the smallest scale, has now, under the tasteful superintendence of -his MAJESTY, become one of the most light and elegant pavilions that ever graced the pleasure grounds of any Monarch. The KING expressed himself greatly pleased , with the improvements that have .been made, and directed several minor plans, which were submitted to his 'apprhval, to be immediately carried into effect. His MAJESTY next viewed the ornamental ruin formed from the granite, por- phyry, - and marble columns brought from the shores of the Levant. These are disposed on each side of one of the principal rides through the plantations, care having been sedulously taken that their arrangement should not merely be tasteful, hut classed as nearly as possible according to the arrangement they . foirnecl when, " the (oast of other ages, wondering thousands viewed." After a ride of five hours, his MAJESTY returned to the Royal Lodge to dinner. Sir ANDREW BARNARD, who arrived there in the course. of the day, was the only addition to the Royal Party. The Bishop of BAT!! and WELLS paid a visit to the Castle yes terday, and was conducted over the interior by Mr. ARM- S 1101 , 9, in the absence of Mr. WYATVILLE. • FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.--The Earl of Mount Norris, in Albemarle-street, from Bewdley, in Worcestershire ; Captin Sydney, in Pall-mall, from Paris ; Mr. and Airs.

The system of stealing bodies is dreadful, and is connected with every other crime, though we have ceased from saying any thing on subjects of this kind. The Liverpo o l physicians 0 fsubje e t s ita f. 0- said, anat anatom i ca l a t that at a u studies sffici might number t be had, provided unclaimed bodies were given up to the surgeons."— Times. lightthe number on aw h s u b j ectiavi t i aw e in a a each Itwisotialyitesceaulirp' Lord Darnley moved last night for a Return of the number of Deck and Steerage Passengers brought over front any Port of Ireland, and landed in any of the Ports of Great Britain, during the years 1826 and 1827, distinguishing was wi t h n now forc i ng i f eL n o g t l i t t r s o e v i % f , itotnnhnteoolpipsuo. this country t n icro o o:n t :tw i i c iol e— tifriynf Ir t oe h elta e aiuni e sd x t oe.dr : N i o t b t noy:t o hot f hinne : gT h t e ci emigration aensd baye destitution m night oor ef i p n os t e he th H at o , u a s s e a of:Com-t t r h u a e t t han was perma nent system, a different law for the* poor could exist in England and Ireland. Since the Union, and the intercourse that had resulted from the steam navigation, _it was manifest that the law> of the two countries must be assimilated." •WhileVhowever, " he was so far from thinking the Poor Laws an irrational institution, that, properly modified, he thought them essential to the good government of any State ;" he, admit ted, that in the present state of the Irish popu lation, " the introduction of Poor Laws would all but monopolize the rent."—This is treating the question candidly and intelligibly. We wish we could say as much of what fell from Mr. William Lamb, which ,mostly consisted of un meaning phrases, having no bearing on the question.—" It .was evident to him (lie said), that the Finance system of the country could not be relieved by schemes which began with great outlayings and vast expense, while the prospect of returns was questionable, and at all events dis tant; nor was it possible that Ireland could be benefitted by anything that tended to impoverish the rest of the Empire. If than country was unfortunately in a distressed condition, and it was the wish of this. country to afford it some relief, it had but one course to pursue—enduring pati ence, continued perseverance, rigid economy, and industry in its labours, were the lessons that they should teach it, No doubt these were hard lessons to leant ; but they were the only ones which. could confer a lasting benefit on Ireland, or bring her to a state of real prosperity." There are people, who, on hearing this delivered with becoming gravity, and appropriate nods, might imagine that it emanated either 'from absolute wisdom, or something close, akin to it. But what application, in God's name, has it to the subject—the poor of Ireland ? To whom does the sententious Irish Secre tary-address his recommendations of '‘‘ endur ing patience,' continued perseverance, rigid economy, and, industry?" Why to the' wretches who are in such numbers that their labour, is valueless to them—to wretches, to whom a patch of land is a condition of existence—to wretches in the very lowest depth - of misery, of whom, according to the evidence before the Emigration Committee, 60,000 in one year passed through the hospitals of Dublin, and who, when deluded from their hovels, have no alternatiVe before them but refuge in England, or -death by want and the diseases which follow in its train in their own. Rigid 'economy, continued perseverance, and industry ! Admirable preacher ! 'Economy to men who, have nothing to save, industry to men who have no field for exerting it. Why, the grand problem to be solved is to obtain for the - people .a field for their industry. What is wanted is employment for the people„-- 1 -to reduce die people to the level of the employinent, or to raise the employment to the level of the people. Tell a man, naked and starving, that he ought to clothe himself well, and keep his belly well filled, as the best preservatives against cold and hunger—tell a drowning man that the best way, of avoiding a watery death is to remain on dry land. Such is the nature of the exhortation of the sapient Irish Secretary. Mr. Peel did ,not deliver himself of such unmeaning, rhodomantade as this; but his speech was a continual see-saw, " Letting 1 dare not wait upon I would, Like the poOr cat i' the adage." He did. not question the position, that the popu lation of Ireland was in an inextricable state of destitution, nay, lie described satisfactorily enough the Causes to which the excessive multiplication of hunian beings and consequent wretchedness were to be traced ; namely,. the extreme subdivi sion of land, and the inducements to young Men to marry after the example of .their fathers. He expressed himself also, satisfied, that front the facilities of communication, the poor of Ire land would necessarily be thrown on England.— He did not contemplate - the possibility of a ces t;atidn of the activity of the causes which are plunging the population deeper and deeper in wretchedness ; nor did he • point to any m,Lans by which tie communication of that wreteTedness. to this country might. be prevented. But he would net consent to the introduction of Poor Laws into Ireland. But "the burthens which the poor of Ireland brought on t he property o f Enaland deserve cons ideration ! But .what. are You to do with the poor of Ireland? 'Why ilo you not grapple boldly with the subject ? You must either raise Ireland to the . condition of Enaland, or Eng land will, sink to the c on diti on o f Ireland. unmanly to evade the question. Do ~,„ w i s h the population of.both countries to sink lower ? Perhaps you do. I£ you do not, then you rno t wish to adopt means for improving the con dition of the Irish. And where the people greatly exceed the employment. for therm, these means must either be the removal or the destruction of part. • A number of Irish landlords, we know, give the preference to the destruction of the po pulatitx :over.the removal, as being ; equally effec tive, while it costs them nothing. Before he determine on: the latter we 'cad recommend to him the'following ob. from the able writer in:the Westminster' • ew, . to whom we yesterday alluded It becomes m a tt er f or grave consideration, how far the Mai landlords are justified in inflicting so enormous an evil upon this country: .. ; This is not a question to be settled by a short appeal to the usual standard -of proprietary rights; : but one to be referred to the, first principles of the social union by which those rights are at once sanctioned and limited. The landlords of Ireland form a class of men, who, for a, century and a half, - to go n o further back, have wielded according to their own plea stire the whole force of the government of their from re'
