Saldanha Oliveira e Daun, Minister of War, being recovered, has to-day resumed his at this office. CANDIDO JOSE XAVIER. (A true Copy.) RODRIGO PINTO PIZARRO. LISBON, MAT 1. We learn from Captain Caldeira, of the 3d Regiment of Cavalry, arrived this morning from Elves with despatches for the Government, bringing word of the revolt of the Sth Regiment of Infantry, (a corps hitherto highly es teemed), which on the 29th assemhled in the square at 11 o'clock in the morning, the officers finding it impossible to restrain the men. This licentious soldiery broke out into seditious cries, and were followed by the rabble, obliging the loyal troops to oppose them. As soon as the Brigadier General Pinto da France was informed of the shameful proceedings of these rebels, he ordered the 3d Regi ment of Cavalry to mount, and putting himself at the head of it, proceeded to put down the rebellion) but seeing that the otlr regiment of infantry, and the 3d of ar tillery, had taken part in the mutiny, he resolved to retire, forcing one of the gates, and enthusiastically crying, " Don Pedro IV. for ever !" This brave officer, Major Raivoso, Capt. Caldeira, and other worthy officers, forming the troops without the fortress, continued to repeat these pa triotic exclamations, and the enthusiasm of the _soldiers rose to such a height, that they defied the rebels to come out and fight them. General Carela was employing the means which he still possessed to put down the mutiny, which appears to have commenced with the pretext of their pay being in arrear. Some corps of the garrison of this capital have already received orders to march to Elves, and the command of them is said to be given to- the brave Conde de Villa Flor. We know that the English brigade of the Guards,which was at Cortex°, will pass this night in the Alhandra, and is to arrive in this capital on the 3d. The reports, which have been vaguely circulated to day, have excited only indignation at the negligence of the Administration, which has thus left us at the mercy of fac tions, without ability to prevent, without power to repress them—unable to read in the past, or to foresee in the future. In the excess of this most just indignation, the public went so far as to conceive ideas of premeditated treason —of criminal connivance of certain persons with the rebellion. To dispel these (in our opinion) unfounded suspicions, and to tranquillize those who are alarmed, we have the satisfaction to announce that His Excellency General Saldanha has assumed the post of Minister of War. Providence, which has not yet forsaken us, brings among us, at this moment of danger, the man who possesses the confidenCe of the public, and that of the King and of the Regent. All alarms are dispelled by this happy event. Let us hope, let all the Portuguese hope, that his Excellency will assume in the Portuguese Administration the same noble and resolute attitude that the illustrious Canning has just opened in that of London, and that he will thus save the Crown and the nation from the dangers of the country. _ _ _ We will add a question :—Was the amnesty which has just been granted, advisable, proper, or merited? Red-hot iron retains heat longer than most substances, but the emission of caloric is un attended with sound, whereas burning thorns are remarkable not only for the limited duration, but also for the noisy crackling of their com bustion. Thus it is with the opposition of such men as Sir THONfAS LETII RIDGE, Lord LONDONDERRY, and • Mr. DAWSON, as compared with the formidable hostility which was of old displayed against the Executive Go vernment by BURKE, by CHATHAM, or by Fox. These great men, confident in their might, watched their opportunity for conflict, and were not afraid of their resentment evapo rating by being smothered for a time. There were gross abuses practised orpermitted by the Ministry of the day, and against these they waged a deter mined and constitutional warfare. -But far dif ferent is the conduct of those' now sitting on the Opposition benches. These men, acting from Motives of personal pique, and aware that the nation will have every reason to be satisfied with the-new. Government, -if they. can - bit have a fair trial, come forward on the first day of the meeting of Parliament, and in the most irregu lar manner, interrupt the business, for the sake of shewing how bitterly they regret the loss of place, and of making the most incoherent at tacks on the new Administration. Not satisfied with this, they want to bring on the Catholic Ques tion, which they had all their lives been opposing, under the besotted impression that their wishing to do so was not of itself a sufficient reason to put off, and that such childishness could have the effect of entrapping those acute and enlight ened men who are the sincere and only friends of injured Ireland. But to keep up our metaphor of the thorns, we really think the Opposition flame is nearly out. To be sure, Lord LONDONDERRY may give another and an improved (if that were possible) version of his speech, where he so solemnly and unnecessarily disclaimed all knowledge of the subject ; but the more sensible Ultras will be gi v i ng orders for their travelling carriages, and either at the watering places of this Kingdom, or in Foreign Countries, will dis play to wondering crowds the moving spectacle of fallen greatness. For what could be more moving than to see Lord ELDON surrounded on the Pier of Calais by a mob of French Com missioners (Anglici porters) and Custom-house Officers, dragging away his Lordship's baggage, and creating in the mind of the Noble sufferer a very low estimate of Gallic law or equity. Or imagi nation may present us with a sketch of Lord WEST MORELAND, treating for a fast-trotting Flanders dray, whose high action would propel his Lordship very much after the fashion of a shuttlecock— the animal and its owner being alike unconscious of 'the dignity of the intended burden. Mr. CANNING may indeed triumph at the prospect before him. Supported by all but the lovers of darkness, and most feebly opposed iby them, • his Government must daily gain strength, and before the close of the present Session, we venture to predict that he will be as firmly seated as any Minister who ever presided over the Councils of this nation. The Paris Papers of Sunday and the Etoile of Monday morning reached us last night. The Etoile states that a Royal Ordinance dated the 28th of April orders 60,000 men to be raised out of the class of 1826. Neither the cause of this levy, however, nor the reason why the Or dinance was not promulgated more immediately after its date, is assigned. It probably has some connection with the recent measure of disbanding the National Guard, although the Etoile classes under Lies of the Day, an assertion made by the Journal des Debats that the Garrison of Paris is to be increased by 40,000 men. Such a measure certainly does -not seem called for by the state of the French Capital, but the Ministry may be in possession of better information rela tive to the feelings of the good Citizens than the several papers afford, and may have reason to believe that the silence which has been preserved in the Chambers on the subject implies any thing hut indifference at this act which has so-griev ously wounded the national pride of the Pari sians. The Foreign Intelligence in these papers pos sesses but little interest. Extracts are, however, given in another column. The Thanks of the House of Commons were last night voted nein. con. to our Gallant Officers and Men who were employed in the arduous and successful operations in India against Bhurt pore, and in the territories of the King of AVA. The question was very properly confined to the conduct of the Military and Naval Forces, for the purpose of insuring that unanimity in, the vote of Thanks which their skill, perseverance, and gallantry, so highly deserved, and which might have been interrupted, if the conduct of the Indian Government had been mixed up with the motion. The Thanks of Parliament are, under all circumstances, highly prized by the Army and Navy, but the value of this mark of national gratitude to our brave Officers and Men is greatly enhanced when it is known that no dissentient voice had been mingled with the expression of public thanks. Such was the case last night, for, on this occasion, even Mr. HUME voted in favour of the motion, and, indeed, seconded it. In separating, however, the conduct of the Forces employed on these services from that of the Government, who planned and directed them, Mr. WYNN distinctly stated to the House, that he had no intention to imply that there was any deficiency on the part of that Government, but that, on the contrary, it deserved the highest credit for the perseverance, judgment, and ability with which it had acted. The present state of our several Relations in our Eastern Territories is itself a proof of the judicious government of Earl AMHERST. By a private letter from Lisbon, dated the 2d of May, we are informed that the greatest ex citement prevailed there on account of the mutiny at Elvas. Similar acts of revolt were appre hended at Oporto and other places. There was a number of wild reports current respecting the health of the PRINCESS REGENT—the nightly meetings of the Miguelites—the hopes of the Queen's Party—incendiary Proclamations cir culated throughout the Country, &c. Dutch Papers have been received this 'morn ing to the Bth inst., but they contain nothing of importance. Count CAPO D'IsTRIA had ar rived at Frankfort on the 2d instant, on his way to St. Petersburgh. During his stay at Paris he had several conferences with the Russian Ambassador and the Greek Committee. His Majesty's packet brig Plover has arrived with a Brazil Mail. She sailed from Madeira on the 15th January, from Rio de Janeiro on the 9th March, and from Pernambuco on the 3d April. _ _ We have been favoured with the sight of some private letters, dated the Bth of March, from Rio de Janeiro, they contain no political intelligence, nor do they make mention of the proceeding in the war on the Rio Grande frontier, or River Plate. In a commercial point of view, the ac counts are extremely unfavourable ; (he Exchange had fallen to 38d. per Milrea, and even had been done at 31, and some bouts& would not give more than 37d., this is ruinous to all profitable trade. The Ann, one of the detained English vessels, had been liberated, and the captors condemned in costs. Their agent had, however, appealed against this decision, and had embargoed the vessel under the pretence of procuring further evidence. The letters from Bahia bring the ,exchange at 48d., and from Pernambuco 51d. _From these letters we come to the conclusion that the Brazil Government are in great xvaet of money, and are anticipating every source of reve nue, by giving orders on the Governors -of the northern provinces against bills which they take on lames in this country. By the George the Fourth steam packet; Gibraltar Chronicles of the 24th April have been received. They do not bring, any_ political intelligence :. op the 23d, being his 31ajesty's BirtlA*Y4 71 , ainv watt celebrated by h o i s t, ng on the 1n9r144. the,, Royal Standard,, and at twelve o'clock a Royal salute was fired by the garrison.— In consequence of the unfavourable state of the wea ther, the usual feu de joie, fired on this happy oc casion, was omitted, but a succession of royal salutes were fired by his Majesty's ship Druid, off the New Mole, and from Green Island on the opposite side of the bay. In the evening Lady Don gave a splendid ball at the Convent. The Francis Freeling packet had arrived at Gibraltar from Falmouth, and sailed on the 22d ult for Malta. During the present excitement, occasioned by the discussion of the Free Trade Question, it is very desirable that the public should be enabled to refer to correct data on a, subject of such paramount importance as our Shipping interests, and we therefore direct their attention to the very valuable labours of Mr. C. MOREAU, whose tables are entitled to the highest commendation, not only for their general accuracy, but for the strict im partiality manifested in their construction. Mr. MonEAu's merits are so well known to the public that we need only remind them when a new work appears from his hands, to ensure their ready attention. In another column, we have given one bf his tables, which will be found at once simple and satisfactory. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' Clock. Consols opened this morning at 82i 3, but have since become flat, in consequence of the unfavourable intelligence received from Portugal by the George the Fourth steamer, and receded to 82g. India Bonds are 75 6 ; and Ex chequer Bills, 47 8 pm. The appearance of the market is extremely different from yesterday, it being reported that the Minister has secured an advance of two millions from the Bank, which will enable him to get on with the public business without further assistance. The Foreign Funds have been inactive; Mexican Bonds are 681; Co lombian, 331; Portuguese flat and heavy at a small reduc tion, being 77i 1. The news from Portugal evidently chews that the new political institutions are by no means settled, and but for the presence of the British troops no dependenCe can be placed on "a' Constitutional Government.

His Royal Highness the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL held a Levee this forenoon at the Admiralty, which was attended by above fifty Flag Officers and Captains of the Royal Navy, Members of the public Boards, &c. Early this morning a report was current in the City, that the Edinburgh steam-vessel had been totally destroyed by fire, and scuttled, at Blackwall. Upon in quiry, however, we are happy to learn, that although she had been on fire, it bad been put out before any material damage had been sustained. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. IN THE MATTER OF SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER, A LUNATIC. Mr. PHILLISIORE presented a petition, which prayed the confirmation of the Master's report. The matter had been referred to th-..! Master to enquire and report, whether any and what measures ought to be adopted for the dis charge of this unfortunate gentleman. The Master had found that Sir Gregory was detained in the King's Bench Prison, at the suit of a person called Thomas Wade, who was reported to be of bad character, his name having appeared sometime ago in the list of swindlers and sharpers, and therefore he (the Master) thought it would be proper to apply to the Court of King's Bench, to set aside the judgment Wade had obtained against Sir, Gregory; and that he might be ordered to answer the matters of an affi davit. The Committee alleged that they would - be able to show that instead of Wade having protected Sir Gregory before his arrest, and while he was under Wade's care or influence, he had been witnessing the execution of powers of attorney by Sir Gregory to swindlers and Jews. The present prayer, therefore, was, that the report might be confirmed, and that the Committee might be at liberty to apply to the Court of King's Bench. His LORDSHIP desired to have the papers to read, inti mating that if Mr. Phillhnore did not hear fi orn him to the contrary, he might apply to the Court of King's Bench to morrow ; this intimation he gave to-day, because he should not be here to-morrow. HEARING OF MATTERS IN BANKRUPTCY. Mr. MONTAGU had an application to make in the matter of "Ex-parte Jones," for an order calling upon a Solicitor to deliver up the proceedings which he had re fused to do upon an application made to him for the pur pose. The Learned Counsel did not know .what the Court's intention was with respect to hearing matters in bankruptcy; but it would be most convenient to the Bar to be informed upon this subject. In Lord Rosslyn's time there was always one day regularly set apart for the hear ing of those matters in every week, but that practice had been subsequently changed. His LORDSHIP desired to know, provided the Learned Counsel did not make his application to-day, when he could make it, according to the practice before Lord Eldon. Mr. Moisrauu said, at any moment. His Lordship had been always accessible upon any motion or application of a pressing nature ; and.very often points of 'importance suddenly started up in bankruptcies requiring the attention of the Court. His LonDsmr was anxious to have the hearing of the appeals interrupted as little as possible. He had appointed Wednesdiys for motions, and he now thought he had better add, that he would hear motions arising out of matters of bankruptcies on Saturdays, relying on the Bar not bring ing forward any motions of the kind but such as they verily believed to he of a pressing nature, and requiring imme diate consideration. MORRIS V. DAVIS. - - Mr. AGAR stated that in this case, his clients had ob tained a verdict in their favour at the last Shrewsbury As sizes, and that three weeks ago they had received notice of a motion to be made here for a new trial, but as they did not sewn inclined to make that motion, he had to apply for an order to advance the hearing of the cause in this Court upon further directions, out of which the issue for trial had been directed. Mr. Brim) appeared for the defendant. The trial had lasted two days, and his client had not been able to pre pare, by this time, sufficient briefs, &c. to enable his Counsel to make the motion, nor would he be pre pared for a fortnight film this time. But one ob jection to the motion's being made just now, even if Counsel were prepared, was that the Court had not been furnished with a copy of the Judge's notes, before whom the issue had been tried. A long discussion now ensued, kept up by several gen tlemen at the Bar and the Bench, upon the question, whe ther application ought to be made in all cases to Judges at law, before whom cases had been tried, to have their notes, the moment it was suggested that a party meant to move for a new trial, or whether the party complaining ought not to make out a prima facie case for a new trial, to the satisfaction of the Court, before it troubled the Judge at law to make a copy of his notes. It was stated that the present Master of the Rolls, while Vice- Chancellor, had adopted the latter course, but that Lord Eldon never would adopt it, he invariably having sent for the notes on having been asked to do so. The present Lord Chancellor thought it the most convenient way to have a prima facie case for a new trial made out before the notes were seat for, because it might be, that upon the party's own showing, applying for the new trial, the Court might not think him entitled to one. He ordered the parties, to be prepared in this case to state their case for a new trial oa Wednesday next, and by that time he will have conversed with Lord Eldon on this point of practice, and be then able to lay down a rule one way or other. . . MOTIONS. The LORD CHANCELLOR had heard by mid-day all the motions the parties were prepared to make. Mr. Suanzx and some other gentlemen had several iento Oppose., but-those who were to make them were either ah t or not,reacly.- This arose from the unavoidable absence of :: Home r and the elevation of Mr. Hart. It was, how ever most desirable, they thought, to have it understood that the old moticus were now to be made, or that they should be dismissed with costs. His LORDSHIP was unwilling to lay down any rule that would operate inconveniently to the Bar, but he wished it to be now understood, that unless such motions were made next Wednesday, as it might then appear ought to be made, that the parties opposing them should have their costs. And lest part of next Wednesday should also be lost for want of something to go on with, he should order a few appeals to be in the paper for that day, He wished too to know whether snore than six appeals ought not to be in the paper. This did not meet with the concurrence of the Bar, at least they did not think that more than seven ought to be in the paper, and therefore no material alteration was made on this subject. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. THE LATE GAMBLING TRANSACTION. AULDJO V. WALROND. When the Registrar called on this case, which was set down in the paper to be argued on a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill, The VICE-CHANCELLOR enquired whether any gentle man appeared in it. Mr: kNicnr said that he believed the Court would hear no more of these cases. . The Vacs-CnAlicitLtoa—The demurrer must of course be over-ruled if the plaintiff appiftrs ; if not, the cause must be struck out. Mr. SUGDEN, though he did not hold a brief in it, was pretty certain that no further proceedings would be taken in this matter. COURT OF' KING'S BENCH. HUTCHINS V. MORRIS AND OTHERS. Mr. EnsKINE moved to set aside the non-suit, directed by Mr. Justice Burroughs, before whom this case was tried, at the last Assizes for Somerset, and for a new trial.—Rule granted. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. The Chief Baron, and B3rons Hußock and Vaughan, were joined by the Lord Chief Justice Best, and Justices Gueice and Burroughs, of the Court of Common Pleas, to decide on a writ of error in the case of SARGUY V. HOBSON. This was an action tried before. Lord Ellenborough in 1821. It was to recover a policy of insurance from the underwriters at Lloyd's on the ship Pekin. A verdict was returned for the defendant, and Mr. Pollock now argued at great length to overturn it. The Court, how ever, were unanimous, and the application was rejected. PREROGATIVE COURT. IN THE GOODS OF DANIEL. LYONS. Dr. LusimlaTotr stated, that in this case Lieut. Col. D. Lyons, of the East India Company's service, died in India, leaving two wills, one dated the 12th Sept. 1819, and the other the sth Nov. in the same year. By the last will the testator revoked all former wills, leaving his entire pro perty to Mr. Thos. Bell of Dublin, trusting that the said Mr. Ball would carry into execution all the wishes ex pressed by the testator, in his will of the 12th of Sep tember. The case was now brought on to take the ad vice of the Court on the construction of the last sentence. The COURT could give no opinion on the proper construction of the will, but the office would not object to pass the probate - on the two wills. IN THE GOODS OF THE COUNTESS DA CHUNA. Dr. LUSHINGTON applied for administration of property in the English funds, to the Marchioness Biari, the heiress of the late Countess da Chuna, who, being a minor, had married the Marquis Biari, who was also a minor; but by the law of Portugal, minors after marriage were compe tent to manage their own property. The COURT was of opinion that administration could not pass under such circumstances. The Marchioness Biari and her husband might agree upon a guardian. Dr. LusniNctoN said, that by the law of Portugal, a married woman could have no guardian. Sir J.

TuisnAy Evzsmc, MAY B.—The contest for the vacancy occasioned in the Representation for this Univer sity, by the elevation of Sir John Copley to the Peerage: will commence to-morrow morning. The Candidates and their respective Committees have already arrived, and thy, town is fast filling with t 1;;:! Members of tl:z. Senate, who are pouring in from all directions. The retirement of Mr. Goulburn his excited but little surprise, the general opinion from the first being that he d:d not stand so good'a chance as either of the oiler Can didates. Both Mr. Bankes and Sir N. Tindal avow the s ure political principles, and it might, therefore, be supposed that the contest would merely involve a question of per sonal preference. If report, however, is to be relied on, a great deal of acrimony has been displayed by the partisans on either side, and insinuations thrown out as to the ulte rior views of the parties. The connection, for instance, of Sir N. Tindal with the present Ministry has been adduced as affording a strong presumption that his opposition to the Catholic Claims is of no very decided character : while on the ether side, the circumstances pf the action between Mr. Buckingham and Mr. Bankes have been revived to the prejudice of the latter. In other quarters attempts have been made to identify the Candidates with one or other of the rival parties, which have grown up out of the late poli tical changes. Mr. Bankes being represented as the champion of the seceding party, and Sir N. Tindal, as the representative of the present Ministry. How far these conjectures are correct, and how far they. may influence the votes of the Members, the result of to-morrow's proceed ings will probably show. Both the Candidates are Members of the same College, namely that of Trinity. ADJOURNMENT OF THE ASSOCIATION. The Association met at the usual hour on Saturday, HUGH O'CoNNort, Esq. in the Chair. The proceedings, for which we have not room to-day, were of an extremely interesting and important character. Mr. Sheil, in a very eloquent harangue, strongly enforced the propriety of adopting, in this great political crisis, the advice given to the Catholics by their friends in Parliament. Mr. O'Con nell followed Mr. Sheil. The Learned Gentleman spoke at much length, and with great energy and eloquence. He strongly recommended a course of conciliation, and the adoption of measures that would evince the desire of the Catholics to unite with the Government in the great work of pacifying the country. With this view he concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That, desirous to evince the anxiety of the Catholics of Ireland to conciliate their enemies, and to exhibit their confidence in their friends, and animated with the hope of a reciprocity of favourable feeling on the part of others, this Association do, at its rising, adjourn for six weeks." The resolution was ably seconded by Mr. Wyse. It was in a degree opposed by Mr. Lawless, but no amendment was proposed. Mr. O'Gorman enforced its propriety in a very sensible and ex cellent speech, and the resolution was then unanimously carried.—Dublin Morning Register. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER RACES, 1827.

Larkins is a fresh Hibernian, weighing about 13 stone, and has come out under the patronage of Ned O'Neal. David Hudson is not so heavy by a stone and a half ; is as stale as three days' old mackerel, and blind of one eye—so that in fact it was a "horse to a hen," and at starting the odds were three to one on the Hibernian, odds which, however extraordinary, proved to be perfectly justi fiable by the results. In fact, from first to last, Hudson never had a chance. His day was evidently gone by ; and, to use a characteristic phrase, " he .can scarcely hit a dent in a pound of butter." Twenty rounds were fought in 28 minutes, in every one of which Larkins had the ad vantage, and in the end Hudson was hit out of time, shewing his utter unfitness for the contest, and expo sing the folly of those who had backed him against such an opponent. Larkins is a strong, sturdy-built fellow, with an iron frame, and is a good wrestler ; but his pre tensions as a pugilist are " very Dickey." He is slow, and is utterly deficient in that tact which a scientific man would have brought into play. Still he may prove a rough customer for a novice, and deserves encourage ment. There is a talk of backing him against David's brother Joshua—but, according to the old adage, "words butter no parsnips," and some think Josh would lick him in a canter. There were very few Londoners on the ground, and, upon the whole, little money was won or lost beyond the stakes. BALDWIN AND JEM BURNS. A second deposit, for a second, fight between these men was made good last night at the Rising Sun, in Windmill-street. Both men were present. Baldwin takes a benefit this day at the Tennis Court, when all the first-rate pugilists of the day will set-to. The com batants of yesterday will also chew, so that a high treat to the fistic world may be expected. SPIRIT OF THZ PUBLIC JOURNALS. The fate of the motion brought forwari by General Gascoyne on Monday last, with refer ,nce to the condition of the shipping it Lerest, -night to be a lesson to other clamourers, `iesides the builders and owners of ships, how they frame case for the Legislature on unfair an 1 unte nable grounds. By the fate of the moron—we do not mean its rejection by the House of Corn tnons—many a good motion has, in thet respect, given cause for concern and for censure ; but we do mean its utter failure in point of argi .nent—its entire overthrow as an emanation fia ill hollow principles and perverted facts—a discomfiture so complete and striking, that we doubt whether, if such a view of the subject as that taken by Ge neral Gascoyne and the shipbuilders had been countenanced by i.he,Ministry, instead of being condemned by them, ilny majority could have been found to support the Gallant General, al ways excepting that immortal band who voted the fallen bank-note and the unimpaired guinea to be the same. Mr. Huskisson, on Mon day, went the right way to work. He knocked the foundation of the whole edifice of clamour to pieces by a single shot, and every thing else fell with it. Say the ship' ~ owners to Mr. Huskisson, " The foreign " shipping has increased, and British ship " ping decreased : therefore we have proved " our affirmative—therefore change your policy." " I beg pardon, gentlemen," quoth the Presi dent of the Board of Trade, " instead of prove " ing your case, you have only opened it you " have alleged a fact which I proceed to de , molish ; therefore, if you please, we will ad " here to our present policy :" and demolish it he did. There never was an attack upon gra tuitous assumption and foolish admonition more triumphant than that of Mr. Huskisson, who proved distinctly and unanswerably, that to re sort to the old system of the 'navigation laws would have thrown the trade of England into the hands of rivals, and consummated the ruin of her commerce by that of her shipping inte rest itself. The speech of the Right Hon. Gen tleman we recommend as a subject of useful and satisfactory study to every man who feels the importance of determining by evidence the policy which befits this nation. The declarations of se veral respectable members of the Whig party, made by them on the same evening, in announce !tient of their accession to the genc:al support )f Mr. Canning's Ministry, were of value, not merely :or the weight attached, and attached most justly, to such names as Althorp and Milton, but for tTie iiope and index they afforded of a clos.-r and more tangible connection between the head_ of that great party and Mr. Canning. This is a curious subject, and one of whoPe delicacy we are well aware. Lord Lansdown's sensitiveness as to taking office, is, 'we would submit respectfully to the Noble Marquis, cal culated for benefit to no cause or party but that of the Westmorland' and Eldon,. It hints on one hand a distrust of Mr. Canning; on the other, it must infallibly tend to generate a corresponding dis trust in his mind towards those who hang back from a perfect incorporation with hie Cabinet. What can be Lord Lansdown's scruples ? We confess our ielves far from being fully satisfied on that point. If there should be some isolated and secondary questions, on which the Noble Lord still differs with the Minister, and desires to see settled before he formally joins him, we have no hesitation in saying that his Lordship would be justifiable to every honest man, for sinking the dissent on minor subjects, and securing, by his immediate co-opera- Lion, the existence of a Cabinet which is the bar and the only bar, to a return of the now excluded fac tion. The Noble Marquis may, by a continuance of his present reserve, compromise the power of Mr. Canning; and if he should not—if Mr. Canning should in a short time feel himself strong enough to naintain his ground alone,—we ask the Noble Mar quis and his Whig friends, are they prepared for all he possible consequences of such an experiment ? We congratulate Sir Henry Hardinge , tin the gal - Km and charitable attempt resorted-to by him in , he course of his speech on Monday, for re-openime the healed-up quarrel-=now four years old—between Messrs. Brougham and Canning How worthy ilia an effort of a generous and manly 'oldie,. ! limes. 'she speech of Lord Londonderry on Monday ilight, is remarkable for that faculty whith his Lordship is pleased to call " sense, ' bu', which every reader will be disposed to designate by a somewhat different appellation. The Noble Marquis has, with a gallantry worthy of the least thinking age of chivalry, determined ti sacrifice himself to that which appears to the Lest of Ni understanding the good of his country. He is content to exhibit almost daily to the world cer tain qualities of mind by no means essential to the grave duties of a legislator. He i ; not afraid to expose in entire nakedness such habits of thinking and acting as make 'us stare when we re flect that to him was intrusted the important embassy of Vienna. He has even made a sacri fice, which to many persons will appear still more heroic : he has relinquished the post of Lord of the Bedchamber, and braves the dread ful privations incident to such a pittance as 50,0001. a-year, for the mere object of upset ting a Minister, who, doubtless, is not so pro foundly acquainted with the arts of governing a great nation as the Noble Marquis himself. It is impossible not to respect the patriotic • motives which actuate this high-minded Nobleman ; the most careless observer must be convi nce d that he is not actuated by personal or factious feelings. But we would humbly appeal to that faculty in his Lord ship's mind which his Lordship is pleased to call sense," and ask him whether he is not both ex erting and sacrificing himself with a generous aban donment of which the country is by no means wor thy. We at once pity and admire the " honest po verty" to whisk he has consigned himself; but feel ing, as we do, that all his efforts must be unsuccess ful to achieve the great end which he has in view, we lament to see him lose so much strenuous and persevering labour; though we shall ever be grate ful for the unbounded entertainment which we have derived from his extraordinary displays of statesman like tact and senatorial dignity.--Ibid. Last night exhibited, comparatively, little virulence in either House, on the part of the Opposition. Are we to infer from this, that their rage has in a great measure exhausted itself? It is of the nature of violence to be short-lived. Men cannot be always living . in the tempest of passion. The Administration could not fail to gain greatly by the intemper ance of the Opposition. When the public see men actuated by mere private pique in their op position, and having made up their minds to give trouble, looking around for matter of accu sation, they nattrally throw their sympathy into the scale of the objects of this malevolence. If Mr. Canning had had the chalking out a course for an Opposition, he could not have hit on any which so effectually serves his purpose as that which has been adopted. Several of the speeches seem to have been made expressly for the purpose of effect on the King. But could they possibly think that their threatening and big language—the contempt affected to be shown by them towards the men whom the King had chosen---would excite any other feeling in the Royal mind than that of indignation —No King possessed of any judgment (and
