(I. 1111.11MATIIIG frt A 1............. - . -. - There seems to be a very general belief, authorized by the latest accounts from Lisbon, that Lord Beresford has been re-appointed to the command of the Portuguese army. If this is the case, we sincerely regret that such a measure has either been suggested or adopted, from no other motive than because we have ample reason to know, that his Lordship is extremely unpopular in Portugal. It pot our duty to inquire how this happens, after the lumber of years his Lordship passed in office and in corn ,nand among the Portuguese; yet, the fact-of his not being popular is undeniable, and his appointment to the com mand of the army, at this critical moment, must be at tended with serious consequences. No one is more dis posed than ourselves to acknowledge that Lord Beresford is a good disciplinarian, and that during the late Peninsu :ar war, he organized the Portuguese army in the most efficient manner ; yet, as a foreigner, he then held that dis tinguished post under a great sacrifice of national honour, one to which the Portuguese would not again readily sub mit. Lord Beresford, during the time of the Constitution, had an opportunity of knowing that he had lost the confi desire and esteem of the Portuguese, as well as subsequently, when General Pamplona desired him to withdraw from Por tugal, and sent the Countess de Jurumenha to Algarve. The officers commanding at present in the Portuguese arm y, we have no hesitation to say, would be disgusted at such an appointment. The Marquess de A:Tejo and Count de Villa Flor, for example—TiCW the pride of the Portn game nobility—were once Lord Beresford's Aids-de- Camp, and in the habit of holding the bridle of his horse, or the stirrup of his saddle, when his Lordship mounted. As youths, they then felt the humiliation ; but they are n o w in separate commands, and will never be reconciled to any such new arrangements in the war department.— The othei' Generals and Colonels who have distinguished themselves i n the present war against the Apostolicals, svill equally take the alarm, for it must not be forgotten. that they belong to the same party which would not even allow Lord Biresford to land in Lisbon when he returned from Rio de Janeiro. If the Portuguese army is to be re orgatized and made spore efficient than it has been for come years past, let the natives do it themselves. This is the only means of preserving harmony among them; and without this, more particularly in a war of opinions like the present, superior discipline would bis of no avail. tf such an appointment as the one alluded to were made, it would be the greatest triumph the Apostolicals have had _once they crossed the Spanish lines, and old Silveira is too sagacious not to avail himself of it. If the Portuguese 4re attacked by an external enemy, as auxiliaries, let us defend their territory , as far as by treaty we are hound to do, but let us not interfere in their internal concerns, or attempt an undue ascendancy over them, even in opposi tion to' heir prejudices. —Morning Chronicle. The new law against the, Press, and the discussions ationt the Jesuits, completely occupy public attention in France. The Institute, or Royal Academy, some time ago, resolved to petition the King against the measure — that of Lyons has imitated the example; and it is pro- . bable that every learned body wha are independent, and who prefer the light of the nineteenth century to the darkness of the middle ages, will act in a similar man ner. Party spirit, Court favours, and the well-known in tentions of the King, seem entirely disregarded on the present occasion. The King and hi Misiistry, however, :ire inexorable. Men of great learning and talents have Veen dismissed from their official situations, merely !be rate -, :e they expressed their sentiments with candour itnd -Incerity. Even the well-earned fame of Lacretelle, the most powerful and animated French writer of the present, or perhaps any other period, could not protect him against this mark of Royal displeasure. The result of these mea sures of severity does not, however, answer the expec tations of the party in power,. From all accounts, they only excite the sympathy of the people in behalf of men, who have sacrificed Court favour and self-interest to .the good of the community, and place them in a somewhat ,similar situation, to that - of the Six Bishops who were tried and acquitted in the reign of James the Second.— 'fhese Fathers of the Church had ventured to Pre sent a petition to the King against an order which had been transmitted to them and all the other Pre lates of England. For this they were sent to :the Tower, and prosecuted for the seditious libel which it was pretended they had uttered. The great body of the people were ranged on the side of the Bishops, and on the other only a few Court favourites as blind and bigotted a s their Royal master. The result is well known • the king lived to re p ent o f his rash conduct; and if the Court of " I remain, " Your obedient servant and sincere admirer, [lbid.] " A TRAVELLER IN PORTUGAL." We stated in the New Times of Saturday, that the dif ficulties attending the question between this country and Persia, might be said to divide themselves into two branches ; first, as relates to the obligations imposed upon us by the faith of treaties; secoudly, as relates to the ob vious delicacy of our position with regard to Russia. The former of these difficulties involves principally the follow ing consideration :—Was the present war provoked by the aggressions of Persia or of Russia ? If, as we are strongly inclined to believe, the whole conduct of the Russian authorities in Georgia, has been one series of provoca tions, tending to excite dissatisfitetion and alarm on the part of Persia, the mere fact of hostile incursion beyond a gratuitously assumed line of demarcation, would merge in the superior consideration of the causes which in duced such an incursion. Russia, we know, has as serted boldly, that her territories have been invaded by Persia; and yet, when welook at the comparative power of the two Empires, to hear the former complaining of an attack by the latter, is as if a lubberly athletic-fel low, six feet high, were to attempt to justify the violent chastisement of a crippled dwarf, in consequence of having been assaulted•by him, Persia, on the other hand, alleges. that she is the aggrieved party; and the object of Mr. Willock's mission to this country is to - satisfy the British Government of this fact. The consequence of such proof would be, the demand for immediate assistance, as guaran teed by the treaty to which we have already referred. We' admit. the difficulty of the proof, and, we are aware of the manifold considerations which would make us more inclined to assume the office of a mediator rather than that of a pro tector. We are bound to assist Persia in case of invasion ' • but, as in the question of Portugal, our first effo r t s w ill b e to avert the necessity of assistance, by amicable inter ference between the belligerents. These efforts ha ve not been wanting; with what effect they have been, or may continue to be made, remain as yet undecided. It has been said, England is not bound to support Persia in any „war she may choose to provoke by her own conduct. By the strict interpretatipn of treaties, England certainly is not bound to the fulfilment of such large and comprehen sive obli ga ti ons; b ut b y cons id e rations of general policy, she might find it difficult to escape from them. A long series of petty p rovocat i ons, o f un f r i en dly acts, of irritating circumstances, might be st u diou s ly persevered in, to goad Persia into a specifi c act o f aggress i on , suc h a ct being a pretext anxiously d es i re d, to g i ve a p l aus ibl e co l our t o meditated schemes of ambition. These provocations, too, might be so ambiguo us ly contr i ve d an d execute d , as to render it extremely difficult of demonstration that they bore the character of grievances. Lastly, this whole sys tem of progressive and increasing injuries, might be framed with special reference to the relations known to exist between this country and Persia, so as to weaken, in the first instance, the claims of the latter, and paralyze the interposition of the former. This, we say, is a possible case. But supposing it now to exist, and in its most complicated shape (which, however, we are far from admitting), then, we repeat, " the general policy of the country would step in, to protect Persia from becoming a province, or Pachalie, as it were of Russia." No British Minister would passively look on, an d see Persia at the feet of Russia; anti it is this impera- MANSION-HOITSE.—THE SPANISH AND ITAT.IAN RE rucEEs.-Yestertiay 20/. was sent by some one, who signed his name Cosmopolite, for the relief of the Refugees, whose condition at this season is truly deplorable. Some exertions have been made by several truly benevolent Clergymen in aid of the almost exhausted funds at the disposal of the Committee. The Rev. Mr. Marsh and the Rev. Dr. Rudge preached two sermons for their relief, at Hampstead, and about 1001. was contributed on each oc casion. In one instance the parties went still further in their be nevolence, and took upon themselves the labour of dispensing the relief; a course for which the Committee for appropriating the general fund expressed themselves highly indebted to them. Another sermon was preached by a benevolent Clergyman at Durington, and the proceeds were transmitted to the Committee, for the benefit of the Refugees last week. Their weekly allow ance has been reduced to In'. Their greatest want is in articles of clothing. ROBBERY.-Three labouring men were charged by a person named Herries, with a highway robbery. This person stated, that on the preceding night he was passing down Houndsditch, when he was suddenly set upon by the three prisoners, who threw him down, and, when he was down, rifled his pockets. They made a snatch at his watch-seals, hut the ribbon broke, and the watch remained ; they got the appendagea, however, and ran off with them. He was exceedingly stnpified by the fall, and the whole proceeding; but as soon as he could collect himself, lie got up and spoke to a watchman. The latter pursued the three pri soners, and caused them to be apprehended. Alderman GARILATT, who sat for the Lord Mayor, questioned the prosecutor as to his sobriety. The prosecutor admitted that he had taken some liquor, but he denied that it was enough to intoxicate him, or render him in capable of distinguishing clearly. He believed that the prisoners were the men who robbed him ; 1/. 6s. in silver had been taken out of his pocket. He could not have fallen from the ground be ing slippery. One of the watchmen of Portsoken Ward deposed, that he saw the three prisoners standing over the prosecutor, and heard one of them say, " It's no use trying to get him up, let him lie." They then walked on. As soon as the prosecutor got up, he declared the three men had robbed him, and witness apprehended two of them. One of them ran away. This -witness declared, that the prosecutor was in a state of intoxication, and that little depend ance could be placed on what he said. Nine shillings were found upon one of the prisoners, but nothing upon the others. Search Was made for the appendages to the watch, but they were no where to be found. The Worthy Alderman carefully examined the night con stable, and ether witnesses, and it appeared from their testi mony, that the prosecutor was really in the state described by the first witness, so much intoxicated that he knew not what he was about. He had, it was stated, complained of having been robbed before he was knocked down in Petticoat-lane. The three persons who were now charged with having been guilty of a highway robbery, were proved to be hard-working meu of good character, who had found the prosecutor lying upon the ground, and having endeavoured to raise him, were afterwards pursued and imprisoned on the capital charge. The Alderman discharged them. GUILDHALL—Last week the widow of one John Preston, a labouring man, was brought up by Mr. Mason, one of the .Churchwardens of Cripplegate, on suspicion of being privy to the stealing of the corpse of her recently deceased husband. _ . She had promised the Churchwardens that she would bring forward a man and woman who were thought to have paid her a suspicious visit on the evening the body disappeared ; but when she appeared before Mr. Alderman Key she stated that she did not know the name of the man, nor where to find him imme diately ; and as to the woman, she had not asked her to come, because she had to attend to her family. Mr. Alderman Key gave her a few days to discover the man, and then bring both parties to the office. _ Widow Preston now appeared before Mr. Alderman Warm- MAN, with the Churchwarden, Mr. Mason, who having related the circumstances, The Alderman inquired if the man was then present ? The widow answered, that he was not ; but she had met with him. His name was Robinson, and he was a labourer in the India warehouses, in Fenchurch-street, who could not appear without losing a day's work. "There is little doubt, Madam," said the Alderman, empha tically, " that you sold the body." " God Almighty f org i ve you," exclaimed the widow, in - a wild •- tone. Mr. Wm.:Emil) offered evidence to show that there was a special agreement between the Mercers' C'ompanv and Mr. Hill to repay him the rates. The Loan MAYOR would be glad to know whether the parish were aware of it, or a party to it? Mr. BRODERICt said, that the parish did not recognize the Mercers' Company in the transaction. The LORD MAYOR said, that if Mr. Hill was the person rated, he was legally liable. Mr. Crook, one of the former candidates, was objected to by Mr. Broderick, upon the part of Mr. Wilde, on the grounds that he had not paid his watch rates : the y bein g onl y 305., 2:W whereby it is enacted, " th a t refuses, or desires to be excus e d to were never demanded but once a y ear. Mr. Broderick relied on e th ve e r l v o f t t h eem of an w Geo tio is disqualified from voting ;" but as no ev id ence wpaasY hie rates, s ed of a legal demand being made, consequently the Lord Mayor did not conceive that he came within the pr ov i s i on , of the Act. The next case was that of John Howis, whose vote was im peached by Dr. Lushington, on the part of Mr. Wilde, upon the grounds that within two years he had received alms. The Learned Counsel observed, that as much discussion had arisen as to the meaning of the word alms, he would trouble his Lord ship with a few observations. He contended that any person receiving relief, no matter in what way soever, either in money, food, fuel, or raiment, it was in the strict sense of the word charity. In the present case, the alms were given in coals, which came strictly under the denomination of fuel. The learned doctor then called evidence to show that Mr. Howis re ceived a certain quantity of coals within the last two years. Mr. WAKEFIELD admitted that Howie had received coals, but contended that he did not do it in the character of a pauper, but as a legatee, whose chance residence in the parish, not in affluent circumstances, made him heir to a certain legacy, bequeathed by a Mrs. Isabella Hart, in the year 1517, to the Brewers' Com pany, to be by them distributed among a certain class of people, in coals, at Christmas. In the year 1688, the Company, anxious to get rid of the trust, applied to the Commissioners for Public Charities, and procured their permission to transfer their former duties to the churchward ens , an d e v e r since that period the churchwardens have rec e i ve d cer t a i n funds, arising out of certain rents, ale i t n rents, with which they pu rc hased coals to be distributed of Howie, in any unfortunately, a gre oe w testator required, among a certain class of persons,lhecould n one whom,ot, manner, the word alms only meant parochial relief. One of the Churchwardens then produced the parish books, in alms. He contended, th a t which a copy of the will of Mrs. Hart was engrossed, also with with h the voter, ; definition but which re (Dr. Lusbington) put on the word l really y is Learned F r i en d ofSirPhil, that the a celebrated L awyer o f t h at day, giving the opinion it as Lis opinion, the bequest was no t at a ll to b e con sidered as charity. _ . _ 20 atone. 10 atone. 14 stone. - i ht. 2d. 14. —.--- -- .........-.._ -.............—,......- --.-.... , $. s.d.as.d. a, d. as.d. s. d, *IA. s. d. as.d. s.d.as.d. .6 ,g. l ' 0 1 12 6 0- 0 20 17 6 0 1 13 a O-18 0 -1 0,8 0 0 1 0 :7: 9 0 9 Limerick 26 0-30 017 8-18 01 5 2 _ 15 5 18 0-18 6 140.-160 100'10 1 C0rk...... 310-? 2 1 6 1 0-- °-2 2:3 ; 6 6 15 17 0- 6- 1 1 : ° 0.1413 o_ B- 1 1 4 6 4 6 Galway -. 28 4-41 3 160.173 15 2-16 4 180-190 150-16 00." 10 Clonmel - 27 6-29 7 is t 5.... 18 0 15 2-159 17 0-17 6 14 6-156 106-' l og Trate* --... 00_00..00 00- 00 00- 00 00- 00 00- 0 0 OOH 00 Car10w..... 290.300 16 0-18 0 14 0-16 0 00- 00 17 0-- 00 0 6 "" 90 Belfast.._ 28 9-20 0 12 0-20 0 14 0-17 6 240- 0 0 200-- 0 6 17 Beef, Mutton, Veal, 1 Pork, Bu tt er.
