~~Y~ LONDON J d URN ALS. 11),11 E.XTRACTS.] FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS. [Morning Chronicle.] Interesting DispATenks have been received from PER s A, which aIITIOUHCC to Ministers the in trigues of the Russian agents in that country ; and iidleate the desigfls of the Court of Petershnrvl .190 ting they have obtained is so firm that they -no longer consider it necessary to disguise their projects. On die death of the reigning Monarch, ;vbo is in the last stage of decline, they consider it as certain that they will possess the complete Con troul. The Russian Chargé-d'Alfaires at Tehran declared publicly, that in future the Ptvsians must be content to receive their Sove reignS from Russia ; to which he added, England could not reasorrably object, as she ;fives away kingdnnis'every day in India. The regular army of Russia, now in Georgia, and on the line of the Caucasus, is upwardi; of 100,000 men, and of whieh 30,000 are part of the late army of occuPation in France. They have been actively, in the held for the last two years against the Schiekau , , and Daughistanies. The Russian Charg&-d'Affaires, at a dinner which he gave to British Officers in the Persian service, said openly that General Vanualolf, aovernor-General in G:.orgia, would be in Tabries in less than four months. Six days' march,he said, would bring their infantry and t.rti lieu to Tabries, after which what was there to stop them till they came to the Indies: The Russians have taken possession of a place on the Caspian, near Asterabad, and have a clever man of the name of Moravioif, amongst the Tur- comans.—He belongS to the Quarter Master Ge • neral's department.. It .is the opinion of the British Officers in the service of Persia, ,that there is, a secret understanding between the Court and the Russians—for the army of his Royal Highness Abbos Merza, Prince Royal of. , ,Persia, has been suffered to dwindle to almost nothing. The infantry amounts only to 11,742 rpett, of all ranks upon paper ; but they have scarcely ever been mustered or drilled—are ill Paid, fed, and clothed; and; indeed, completely abandoned. This information certainly ought to rouse .tale attention of our Government for the safety of India. The attempt to- annoy us may not be made for some time, but the design is ma nifest. There is a brigade of the Company's troops in` Kutch, which is not far from the Indus, but the approach of a Russian force would natu rally rouse 'the Indian Chiefs and unite them against, us. ' PoaTuriAr..—Notwithstanding the precautions of do' REGENCY, it is evident that the Revolution goes on prosperously and apace, and this is fully confirmed by an arrival also from Oporto. The soldiers, as fast as they are enabled to express their sentiments, join the patriotic cause. The regiment of Santarem had raised the Constitu tional Standard, and it was reported that the 20th regiment being deserted by its leaders, two British Officers - carried them over to the Portenians. Count Amarante is also said to have declared in their favour, but we should-ra ther think it is the troops and province of Tras os Monts he commanded. The province of Beira and its Governor, Victoria, have entered into the patriotic coalition, as well as the corps tinclr.zr Count Barbacena. In short, the popula tion and strength of the country seem deserting the Regency as fast as they MO, notwithstanding the pOwerftil aid of Count Palmella's councils, arul the stratagems resorted to. In order to bribe the soldiery by satisfying their arrears of pay, the - Regency had attempted to raise a con tribution or loan among the capitalists, but after all their exertions they could only get one' sub scriber for about .100/. sterling. 'This shews the feeling of Lisbon. They had also suspended the Brifish Officers in the Portuguese service for six mouths", -thinking by this means to conciliate the public opinion. On the 10th the Creole sailed for Rio Janiero with the news of the Revolution, and it se;..ung strange that they had not one of their own ships ready. The Perola was, how ever, fitting out, no doubt to be in readiness for any emergency. The Government paper had risen from 27 to 23-1 discount. A. large fire had broken out near the river at Boa Vista, in the shipwright's stores, by which a large quantity of staTes;tar and coals had been destroyed. The favourable accounts transmitted by Colonel Se pulvedaito the new Government at Oporto, had hiduced them to move on towards Lisbon, and for the present to establish themselves at Coimbra. This exhibits the att-itu'de' hi which they stand, and the. firm reliance they have on the entire con currence of the people,---(Mid.) [The I'imfs 7 ] The NEWS from_ Poirruc-Ai. of this day is highly interesting. It appears that Gen. Ama 'rante, who at first -seemed to be attached to the old Government, and upon whose adherence great faith was. placed, has joined the Revolu tionary Party. The business, therefore, may be considered as decided in the country of our faith ful ally. Would to God we were. equally well assured that the Portuguese would as speedily arrive at tranquillity and a free establishment; but-revolutionary;courses are fearful and uncer tain ones to all parties ; they should neither be provoked on the one hand, nor adopted .without overwhelming necessity .on the other. If only the corrupt who give occasion to them, or the turbulent. who commence.theti), suffered, they. might be tolerable evils ; but they, too generally, hurry off the peaceable and the virtuous in_ their desolating. career. It must, however, be acknow 7 ledged, that the Governments who sustain them are greatly more culpable than the people, who effect them ; because Governments are placed on anderninence, and should be able to see and elude the:coming storm; the people are on the plain, and.only feel and know that which they suffer.. • 'We observe, in . a -Lishorr paper of -the 12th instant, ; that the Judges of the Supreme Tribunal of Lisbon have made a representation to the Regency on the present pOSttcre of affairs, in which they declare their loyalty to the King, and their attachment to the Monarchy—their sorrow : at the destractions of their country, their disapprobation of the conduct of their brethren in Oporto, and their confidence in the wisdom of the Regency: But the most important, or . rather the only important part of this document, is the expression of a wish that it might please Divine. Providence to inspire into the heart* of 'his Ma jesty the resolution of returning to his.kingdom, or of Sending the Prince Royal, his son, to ad minister the Government. This, it is added, is the universiit desire of,the nation, and the Mem bers of the Triliiinal beseech the King to com ply with it.—(lbid.) • The cry for the DrnAsumevr,of the.QutEs of ENGLA ND —exactly resembling that of French Sans Culottes ? iii tl:e pay of the .G.)vernmeot of that country, for the sacrifice of Marie Antoinette —is still loud and fierce, notwithstanding the total failure of the evidence against her Ma jesty. It does not, however; extend.;- but- is, On the contrary, controlled by the general popular feeling - , and the increasing exertions of the real friends of the Monarchy. It is in Vain to ask the aged,•or' to search.the written records of our history, for any public event or joy or grief, wliicji ever called forth Addresses so va ions, so numerous, so sincere. It might naturally have been expected, that in the course of- a*Month, at the farthest,'after her Majesty's arrival in Eng land, these external demonstration§ of zeal wbUld have been gone through, whatever the heart might have still continued to feel. Countless thousands have already addressed ; and yet the task seems to ..be but begun. A meeting at the Freemasons' Tavern yesterday exceeded in num bers all that have yet taken place in the capital. The assembly was really inimense ; and other meetings in the smile- spirit are calling and hold ing. woman this Queen of Eng land is, that she will not oblige her enemies by suffering herself to be oppressed quietly ! Why cannot she remain' tranquil, and let them experi ment at their ease upon her fame and honour With' their Bill of Pains and Penalties? She will find such : a proceeding very commodious—that is, - for thein, if she does not oppose it ; and as to her self—why what does that signify, if she can but oblige others by kindly' walking into their net? It is so obstinate in her to repel the indignities cast upon her personto refute calumnies heaped .upon her fame. Whit, in the name of wonder, are her enemies to do, if she will thus defeat and ex pose them ? Her conduct is very unkind! In the mean time, it, now becomes, necessary to observe that Foreign Nations not immediately subject to out influence, or united to our Cabinet, view the proceeding and begin to speak of it with proper abhorrence.—(lbid.) [British Press.] The LISBON PAPERS contain several Procla mations, addressed by the Regency to the troops at Oporto, and in other parts of the kingdom, carefully distinguishing those who, as they say, deviated from their duty, and those who, •by not declaring publicly for the Constitutionalists, are concluded by the Regency to have been faithful to the old Government. In these addresses the members of the Regency venture to assume a high tone, but their swaggerinc , is not sufficient to conceal the real terror that influences their con duct. They boast of the fidelity of the major part of the army, and tell the " deluded" few, that if it had so pleased them they might soon have displayed the strength of the King's authority, and the irresistible weight of their •vengeance. And yet in the Proclamation for convoking the Cortes, the Regency acknow ledged that they thus acted in conformity with the general wishes of the army and the nation ! The Junta, forming the Provisional Government of the northern provinces are acknowledged by a large portion of the army and several of the provinces. They have lately removed the seat of their Go vernment from Oporto to Coimbra, leaving a Committee at the former place. The Lisbon Papers, under the controul of the Regency, affirm that the discipline of several of the Oporto troops has been extremely relaxed, to a degree dangerous ,even to their Officers. Accounts from Oporto of the 13th say, ' that this army had then commenced its march upon Lisbon.— An impression prevailed very generally, both in Lisbon and Oporto, that -the British Cabinet would interfere in the internal affairs of Portu gal, and maintain the old form of oovernment.— This belief has excited an an gr y feeling among all classes of persons, but, as it would seem, more particularly among the troops, for it is to the troops that the Regency especially address themselves when they undertake to remove the impression. They affirm, that not only has no foreign Power offered to lend its aid to the Go vernment for the restoration of the long-esta blished usages, but that the Regency entertained no desire to receive any such assistance. Eng lish persons and property continue to be respect ed in every part of Portugal. [Morning Herald.] It is to be feared theßEvoLtritoNT in PORTU GAL will not be completed without a shock be tween the Lisbon and Oporto Parties. In the Capital of the Kingdom there is a feeling of jealousy against Oporto. We have even under stood that a vertical transfer of the seat of Go vernment to Oporto, a trading town of the first order, is apprehended, should the Oporto men continue at the helm of the state. The influ ence of the Regency is also much more powerful at Lisbon. The RegenCy have published a Procla mation to the officers and soldiers, in which the insurrection is referred to in the mildest terms of reproof, and the " brave Portuguese," who have fora moment swerved from their duty, are in vited to return to their aLleglauce Even by the Regency accounts, however, they seem to have produced no effect.—The Oporto Government, on the other hand, were advancing upon Lisbon. General - Conde de Amarante, with the troops under his command, had joined them, and the Provisional Junta was, on the 14th (the day after the latest dattl) to be removed to Coltn bra. The Revolutionists, it appears, set no value upon the consent of the Regency to con voke the Cortes, particularly as no pledge of a Constitution has been held out. A trial of force between these two parties would be a melancholy spectacle. The Regency is likely to yield. Their language is that of conscious weakness. Nothing can be more delicately managed than their re proof of the Insurgents, because they apprehend the latter will soon have the' game to thq:uselves. If, as stated, Amaraute has joined the Revolu tionists, the question must be decided. [New Times.] I The ANSWERS delivered in the name of the QuEI,N to factious, seditious, and even treasona.: bk AddresAes, become daily more audacious and aThrming ! It is Ampo,sible that her Majesty can N 1 inn) authorise such communications, if she is not insa,le. Some short time ago we published the copy of an Address from the Manchester Radicals, for the purpose' of calling public attention and reprobation to the violent lan guage in wlrich it was codchecl, and warn- in , v the Queen herself of its - tendency. Her Majesty rectives this impudent composition, and answers, or is made to answer, that she re ceives it whit salisf4etion. But this is a trifle to what follows. 'The Addressers had spoken of the events of the 16th of August, 1819, in terms of most virulent abuse, describing the legal interference of the military as a massa cre. The Queen not only adopts these sen timents, but identifying herself with the rioters, says, " We cannot but know that the saw - hand has been,our common oppressor. "• Now she had elsewhere distinctly called the King " my op pressor." Here,,therefore,:she is made to assert. that to the king's personal oppression are to be attributed the unfortunate occurrences of last year at Manchester ! That a larkingincendiary traitor should pen r • such infamous language is easily conceivablebut that a wife should so wickedly, .falsely, and outrageously calumniate her husband, that a Queen should so Openly stir up the, people to rebellion, is what we cannot suffer ourselves ,to imagine. Why is not the villain, whoJlevotes his pen to these dz,o.bolical purposes, dragged from his lurking hole to the pu nishment he so richly merits ? 4nd why do not the respectable classes of society throughout the kingdom step forward indignantly to repro bate sentiments which cat have - no other ten dency : than to shake the Constitution to- its centre, and to arm the populace against Law, Liberty, and Property. One other phrase de mands notice; it occurs in most of the 'replies Co the Addresses presented on Monday, and it is remarkably indicative'of .the real 'views of her Majesty's secret instigators. The Ward of Far 7 ringdon Without is informed, that " the Selfish ,Faction" is aiming a blow at the rights of every individual in the realm. The Inhabitants of Cripplegate are reminded of the " domineering views of that Selfish Faction." The Spital fields Adaressers hear of the same " Sel fish Faction" as her only enemies. And the People of Leeds are informed,' that " the Selfish . Faction are her Majesty's accusers."— The people of England who k.ndw that ,ender this term, the Selfish Faction, is includ'ed all that is great, venerable, wise, or honourable in the country, will not fail to appreciate such language. They will feel that she who is Made to - express tier hope that she may be the means of " over throwing the power of this Faction," and of " delivering the people of England from oppres sion," 18 made in effect to assume to herself the office of First Revolutionary Leader. [Morning Post.] A MEETING was yesterday held at the FREE MASONS' TAVERN, to CONGRATULATE the QU E EN on the -AtrottNEv-Gca...ir. having cloSed his CASE. The room was full, and the Ladies, in their best bibs and tuckers, presented as splendid a display of fashion and beauty as Mrs. Watson, and 'the Radical belles exhibited at the Crown and Anchor on the 'day of:the memorable meet ing to congratulate the triumph of Mr. Hunt. IVe make no comparison between the two cases, but some may think the exultation of yesterday • a little premature, as the Crown and Anchor Congratulations turned.: out to be. It seems, however, .that her Majesty's friends, in the plenitude of their purity, are quite astonished , and delighted at finding the facts proved to be so very slight, though in the same breath they rave against the perjuries of the witnesses who state so much. Mr: liobhouse made his appearance among the Ladies with boots and spurs. They ought to have given him a vote of thanks (after the manner of Joe Miller) for leaving his horse behind. :lle came, . and was called to the chair, and took about an hour from the company to amuse himself with a speech. Some parts of his' harangue were very edifying. He has discovered that if all that has been deposed against her Majesty should prove true to the letter, it will not be a question of morals," but of "manners." John Cam If ob house, Esquire, has discovered that a Queen of England may recline' on her couch with a lover in the face 'of day;—that site may sit on his lap, with her arms round his neck ; —bathe with him;—all without the slight est imputation on her moyals, though pos sibly it may cause her manners to be called in question. This doctrine was of course highly relished by the virtuous Ladies who graced the Preernasons"favern yesterday. We know that in some parts of the world modesty consists in concealing the face, without regard to the rest of the person, but that an English Queen may, without reproach, abdicate the delicacy of civi lized life, the moment site sets her foot on a foreign shore, without injury to her moral ha racter, is what we did not know till the im portant fact was communicated by John Cam Hobhouse, Esq. What will Mrs. Hall, to whose case We lately alluded, say when she hears this ? her lover ought to move for a 'new trial, to vindicate her morals, for she has been disgraced on evidence not amounting to any ' I Oh thing - that cati for a MoMebt iYe teatiPar et c ord' those acts, which, if true to the letter, 3 , ite ing to Mr. Hobhouse, will not at all aff eci dos morals of her Majesty. What blissful of may we not hope to see, when the reign foi the Radicals shall begin ;. for this delight 0, latitude in morals will most felicitously barl3loo niSe with the law and religion of those who 4.i.e to destruction the Officers of Justice and the 01,114 stern of the Church. The proceedings of th e ca i were so completely a matter of course that vo nothing of them.. Alderman Wood talks ase r s , teriously of facts within his knozzledge, as ro Of peso does- of his art. That perfect speciin ell „s the imbecile—the rat Noel, was again to d- e pliantly exhibited. He attempted a speech ;.`,d effect of which was to make every one sUPP4i, that he must have been liberally paid by nisters to desert them, 'end' relieve the Guve r T menu from the disgrace of his support. We however, own,. :that he finished amazingly, of He said, he " flattered himself that the ruee,,,t u ti r s would be happy if he got off the tabie." was much applauded, and Sir Gerard found 011. in this instance he did mit jiyaer himself. . - THE ADDRESS . f 6, OF THE METHODIST CONFERENCE TO THE IC`'' ON HIS ACCESSION TO THE THRONE-: TO THE KING'S MOST E.S. - CELLENT MAJ EST.(' • May it ease your Mest, • We, your pl Majesty'S most aj du; y iful and lOyal subjects, t 3e ,,,d sisters representing the people Methodists, he l4 : ll %,it to the religious societies in Great 116%611.am-I lrelana , established by the.
