Copy a note addressed by Lord Howard de Walden to the Portuguese Government on the 15th alt , imme diately upon receiving the Baron da Ribeira de Sabro sa's long official note of the 116, which has already ap peared in The Sun :- 1 1 1 "'rite undersigned, her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, has had j the honour to receive this morning a note addressed to him, under the date of the 9th inst., by the Baron da Ribeira de Sabrosa, &c., entering into various arguments intended as answers to parts of the notes presented by the undersigned to his Excellency, by order of her Majesty, on the ?Bth of April and sth of May, relative to the breaking off of the late negotiations for a treaty between Great Britain and Portugal, for the effectual abolition of the slave trade carried on under the Por- I toguese flog. I "As it may be the intention of the Baron da Ri• 1 bairn d e S a b rosa to pu bli s h t hi s note at once, w i thout giving the undersigned time to enter into its details, and as his Excellency would thus be enabled to send it forth to produce effect on the public, as was done in regard to the note of the Viscount Sada Bandeira, of tile 6th of October, 1838, which was published officially hi the Diario do Governo, without the reply to it, a pro ceeding strongly contrasted by the loyal proceedings of the British Government, by whom all the papers con nected with the slave trade negotiation were laid before the British Parliament in the most comprehensive form, the undersigned must defer, from press of time, the general analysis of the note of his Excellency, and reply at on c e t o th e po i nt on w hi c h hi s Excellency f seems to have worked most (for what object it is diffi cult to understand), as it does not tell in the least upon the two q ues ti ons on w hi c h t h e Vi sco unt Sada Ban / doira and th e un d ers i one d were a t variance, viz., th e I qu, stion of piracy and the guarantee, and respecting which he has called in aid of misrepresentations (the undersigned cannot believe them intentional) private and confidential letters from himself to the Viscount, ) and a letter from the Attache of her Majesty's Lege ' tiou to a clerk of the Foreign Office. The undersigned has now, however, only distinctly to deny, once more for all, that he had ever consented to sign the treaty, as it stood on his departure from Lis bon on the 23d of May. " The undersigned is now a little astonished at the Baron da Ribeira de Sabrosa's renewing the attempt to ascribe solely to his precipitate departure the ' non-sig n nure' of the treaty, as said to have been consented to by the Viscount Sada Bandeira, the undersigned . hiving personally made his Excellency acquainted with tne tenor of the proposed joint declaration, under which alone he had consented to affix his signature to the treaty, as likely to stand, even if, firstly, the promised dederetion as to piracy, and, secondly, the stipulation for the proposed guarantee, had been brought forward simultaneously in the more satisfactory shape, which he I Ives induced by the Viscount to expect, to the last mo ment, would be done. " The undersigned now begs to refer the Baron da Rtheina de Sabrosa to the draft of the document which was delivered by the undersigned to the Viscount, which W.:3 as follows :---‘ At a conference held this day, be tween Viscount Sada Bandeira and Lord Howard de ' Walden, Lord Howard declared that he did not feel 1 authorised, under his instructions, to affix his signature to any treaty for the abolition of the slave trade, which ! did not contain a provision for makine the traffic piracy. The Viscount, on the part of the Portuguese Govern ! 1 went, stated th a t f orce o f circumstances alone prevented his acquiescing in such a stipulation in the proposed treaty, but having declared in the name of the Queen of Portu ga l h er most f a i t hf u l M a j esty ' s willingness to I become p ar ty, by e i t h er a j o i nt or simultaneous act, to any general measure adopted by the European Powers for the above object, and the Viscount Sada Ban deira and L or d H oward having both also weighed I the various inconveniences which might arise from a &ey at this moment in the actual signature of the treaty, containing important stipulations so entirely in ! coeformity in so many important respects with the ' other principles and details of project as presented to the Portuguese Government, have agreed to affix their signature to the treaty, sub ape rati, under the mutual ph (Igo that, in the event of the treaty not being accepted as it stands by her Majesty's Government, the act of its signature shall remain secret, and that the documents shall be cancelled, and be considered, to all intents and purposes as null and void in all its parts as if the said signature had never taken place.' " This establishes the basis on which the undersigned, acting in the most conciliatory spirit, and determined ' to put the real disposition of the Viscount or the party he represented to the test, would have consented to affix his signature to the treaty, distinctly not pledging her Majesty's Government to the adoption of it, on re ceiving at the same time a satisfactory declaration (in stead of a patent article) as to a future engagement to proclaim slave trade piracy, and the demand for a gua rantee restricted within reasonable limits, based on the cfl'er made by the undersigned. " It was on these points, on neither of which the Viscount had consented to meet the propositions of the undersigned, when the undersigned left Lisbon, that the signature of the undersigned was under the special con dition above recorded, had depended. " With regard to the private letters collected and quoted by Baron da Ribeira de Sabroso, it is hardly ne cessary to remark the first. Mr. Craven's was an answer to the pretension ofa clerk in the Foreign Office to alter, without the authority of the Plenipotentiaries, the text of articles which had been conditionally agreed upon, and which were in the course of copying, appa rently in a most dilatory manner, creating the impression of a disposition on the part of persons under the Vis count's direction, not to further even the manual labour of preparing a document for signature. The second, a letter from the undersigned, some time previous to his departure, is evidence of his own desire to adopt, as far as was possible, the Viscount's proposed amendments, though it is unfortunately no evidence of the subsequent success of his endeavours, " The third letter, from the undersigned, tells upo n ti-e dilatoriness of the Foreign Office, stimulates the Viscount do Sa, by stating to him that some sheets of the Portuguese text were still kept back. " The fourth letter made use of, and a confidential one, also from the undersigned, only proves that on the Senility previous to his departure, the question as to the pheesy declaration was still unsettled, although the un dersiened still entertained hopes that the Viscount de ‘-',e de Befell, ra might be induced to render it satis- CITY SOLICITOR.

On this principle it would be nore satisfactory to reflecting minds if some other body of Christians, some other persons than the priests and members of the Anglican Church, bore testimony to the brightness of their faith and the purity of their lives. It would not diminish the satisfaction were the testimony of other sects corro borated by circumstances, and we could point to a clergy free from all worldly-mindedness, unsullied by avarice or ambition, remarkable for an undevi ating attention to their parochial duties, and to a well educated, moral, humble hearted, yet firm and trusting people, as the certain confirmation of the assertions whether of friends or opponents. The facts, however, art, that no persons bear this testi mony to the Church of England but the clergy and their pupils, and the lives of the clergy, with the demoralization of the people, bear witness against their self-praise. No clergy in any part of Europe, except, perhaps, Spain and Italy, have had so much power as the clergy of the Anglican Church, and in no part of Europe has education, and have the people, been so cruelly neglected. On their demands, however, while their claims are unsup ported by the testimony of any other persons, and while circumstances convict them of inefficiency and neglect, the public are now required by all the Tory journals to begin anew a persecution of the Catho lics, and place the Tories in office on the ground that they are exclusively the friends of the Church of England. we re ve have b een p l ace d on b oar d a steamer a t P er th, I .

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1839. tion in preferring a protestant door-keeper to one professing the Catholic faith, much less which would justify excluding one-third of the popula tion from all civil employments, and rendering them aliens to the State. On no more substantial ground —on no wiser arguments than the puffed up self-praise of the Anglican Churchmen—arc the Whigs derided and abused, their Administra tion threatened, and eight millions of our fellow subjects placed under the ban of exclusion. What a motive is this for destroying a Government, and perilling the peace of an empire ? When the Whigs instituted the penal laws against the Catho lics, there was an immense Catholic power or ganized in Europe attacking civil liberty through religion. Now there is no such thing as a Catholic power in Europe, and yet the Tories call on us to act still on the policy which its existence alone justified. At the close of the 17th, and beginning of the 18th century, the Church of Eng land, the daughter of Rome, was necessary in its new alliance with the State to counterbalance the power of her parent ; and the Tories require us still to foster the child which has all the faults and vices that have doomed the parent to slow but certain decay. The Tory Journals do not think it necessary to remind us every morning and evening of the advan tage of day light, and contrast it with the night, in which, when it cometh, no man can work. They do not daily hymn the praises of sunshine or mourn over storms and floods. They do not morning and evening remind their readers of the immense advan tages conferred on the community by industry, enterprise, and frugality, and of the injury caused by idleness aid dissipation. They need not hold up to admiration the occupation of the farmer and the merchant, and pour out their diatribes against the swindler and the charlatan. Almost everything —as well as wine— which is intrinsically good re luires no puffing, and any thing which is inherently njurious it is not necessary every day to condemn. We cannot avoid concluding therefore that the hymns of praise which the Tory Journals chaunt daily to the Church, and the foul-mouthed abuse with which they bespatter the Catholics, are begotten by a conviction of the badness of their cause, and are intended to conceal gross defects which they can hope neither to palliate nor defend. For a Church, how ever, which cannot rely on its own merits, the Go vernment is required by the Tories continually to commit a gross injustice on a part of the people, and make them discontented subjects. The reader must be reminded that the Anglican Church takes an unfair advantage of the lateness of her birth. She came into existence when civiliza tion had made great progress, and she charges her parent with all the vices and crimes of the dark ages through which she flourished. Much of the merit of the Church of England is due to the age of her birth ; and as she surpasses Rome because she was born later, so the advancing civilization of modern times makes the errors of her parent, to which she adheres, more than ever distasteful to the opinions and manners of the age. We borrow from the Spectator an article on Local Courts, which is every way worthy of public attention. Happily for the country the distin guished man who has long made the establishment of Local Courts'a prime object of his political exer tions is yet spared, and he will no doubt find his zeal quickened, and his energies increased by the demands which the exposure of the Spectator will induce the public to make for a reform in the pre sent jumble of Courts and jurisdictions which is miscalled a system. The article is an amazingly strong testimony to the wisdom of LordattouGHA s views, and the utility of his plans. He has, per haps, of late rather suffered himself to be diverted by party politics from his own profound schemes of legal improvement, and we hope to see him in the en suing Session returning to them, and pressing them on the Legislature with that earnestness which their importance and the manifold injustice done to the lower classes by the present bungling contrivances deserve. By achieving improvement more will be done, we believe, to rouse the public from its pre sent apathy than by any other circumstance. The numberless disappointments which have resulted from schemes of reform—the anomalies and injus- Lice which still exist, for example, after Courts of Request and County Courts have occupied the at tention of Parliament year after year for many years, should put an end to surprise at the people being indifferent or apathetic on the common topics of political reform. All the promises made to rouse them to exertion seem by some fatality or other to have been falsified. We doubt neither the good will nor the sincerity of reformers ; but, somehow or other, legislation has failed to give that relief and procure that justice for the people which they expected. Local Courts, formed on a uniform sys tem, would not, according to the statement in the Spectator, be much more expensive than are the Revising Barristers, and they might carry justice to every man's door. We agree with Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, that new laws are of less conse (pence than a proper administration of the laws we h a v e. Our readers on referring to our Hatton-garden report will see that an honest way of gettin g a living may be very unlawful. A woman was carried be fore the Magistrate for selling fruit on the Sabbath ; she pleaded that she could get .no work, and that she had a husband sick in bed ; she was told that it was unlawful to support her husband, unlawful to maintain herself, and that if she persisted in such unlawful, however kindly, affectionate, and honest labours, the Magistrate would enforce against her the strict letter of the law by way of example. Ik e means by punishing MARY MULLOONEY, to Warn all wives that it is unlawful to support themselves and their sick husbands. If such be the mode in which :he law encourages the domestic virtues—in Greece MARY would have had her name engraver), as an honour, on a tablet, by the city authorities—we need not be surprised to find amongst our wives a want of affection and a disregard of the duties they swear at the altar to perform. In defence of MARY, let us remind the reader, that the Sabbath, when alone the mass of the work people get abroad, is the only day when she can gain much. That is the day when the customers of stalls in the streets most need such re freshments as MARY sold. Let us observe too, in justification of MARY, that there is not one merchant in the whole metropolis, not one man of business, whether attorney or solicitor, who would hesitate to follow his worldly calling on that day, not merely if he could get, like MARY, a meal's victuals for a sick and starving partner, but if he could only add some particular sum to his store, or make an advantageous bargain on that day and not on another. Poor MARY ! What the great may do with impunity thou art stricken for by the law; and all affection, all duty, all respect for thy sacred marriage vows must be driven out of thy heart, lest the sanctified, the uncharitable, holier than-thou women and men, should be of. I fended by the exercise of thy mild and wife like virtues. Lest it should be possible that the so-called saints have no feeling on this subject, no respect for a wife's duties, let us remind them, as we know they are alive to the value of money, that if they will not allow MARY to earn her bread in her own way, they must at least support her, Th e y will not be so cruel as to make a pauper of her and degrade her to be th e i nmate of a work house ; no,it they will give her a su i ta b le pension; they givewill ll similar persons s ui t a bl e pensions, and their traffic an d raise them to t t h h e e then etvhe e l y of m A a l y rs s . t .A.

The first good harvest will make them sensible of the beauty of justice. Whatever plan the Ministers may adopt, we be lieve they begin to be sensible that the country cannot go on with the present system, and the bulk of the population will, notwithstanding some present coolness, enthusiastically support them in any attempt to improve and gradually to abo lish it. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL was entertained by a I large party of his constituents at a public break fast on Thursday last. The Learned Gentleman's visit to the Scottish capital was, it appears, too short to admit of the preparations necessary for the more elaborate affair of a dinner, otherwise that compliment, we are assurcd, would have been paid to him. A Scotch breakfast, however, is no bad substitute, quoad substantials, for a dinner, and in the present case seems to have gone off with much eclat. Sir JOHN was received with great cor diality, and, if we may take the company assem bled on this occasion to do him honour as a fair specimen of the Edinburgh electors in general, he stands as high as ever—higher he could not stand—in the good opinion and confidence of his A report of the speeches will be We have great pleasure in referring our readers to a Church-rate Report, inserted in another part of The- Sun. A signal victory has been gained by the opponents of the " nefarious exaction" at Alargate, after a severe and protracted contest, in which the raters were led on by a person of the name of COBB, an influential, and, as this struggle has proved, not remarkably scrupulous Tory, exer cising the functions of brewer, banker, &c., &c„ in that town.

The LORD PROVOST, who presided at the meeting, it will be seen, alluded to the events which would, in all probability, have taken place, had the Tories been in office, during the period of the Chartist agitation. In Ireland, he remarked, the scenes of 1798 would have been re-acted ; and in this country the same measures would have been re sorted to as Mr. PITT adopted in 1794—the scaf fold would have reeked with the blood of the vic tims of a faction, whose - acknowledged system of rule is founded on the terror inspired by the exer cise of arbitrary power, not on the affections of the people. We entirely agree with his Lordship in this opinion. In replying to this part of the LORD PROVOST'S address, Sir JOHN CAMPBELL entered into an explanation of the views and conduct of the Go vernment with respect to the Chartists. He it was, in fact, who advised the proceedings, in the execu tion of which it fell to his lot to take, officially, so prominent a part. This portion of the Learned Gen tleman's admirable speech deserves particular notice. " That," he remarks, " was a period of great alarm. The doctrines which they (the Chartists) dissemi nated were certainly destructive to the rights of property and to social order. Their meetings as sumed a formidable aspect. The question was, How shall peace be preserved and the law enforced ? An awful responsibility was cast upon me, for it was by my advice on this subject that the councils of the Government were to be regulated.—(Cheers.) For a time great reproach was cast upon me. Some said we must have new laws of a coercive nature ; a new system had sprung up in the country for which the old laws were utterly inadequate. Others said, we must call in force to put down their meetings—we must call in the assist ance of the military, and crush those who seek to disturb the public tranquillity. I thought it would be wiser to pursue a different course—to trust to the good sense of the people of Great Bri tain, and to the old common law of the land.— (Cheers.) I introduced no new coercive measure into Parliament—l gave no countenance to the em ployment of military force. Prosecutions were in stituted according to the established course of legal proceeding ; and I may state that, without a single exception, these prosecutions, wherever they were here is no political news in the Frence Jour instituted, ha ve , by the verdicts of juries, succeeded, nals of Sunday, the whole of which we have re -(Cheers.)

It appears that the unconstitutional, tyranrical, and obstinate conduct of the heir presumptive to the British Crown is so insufferable that even the patient and loyal Ger mans, attached as they are to their native country. are obliged to flee for relief to foreign lands. He began first by attacking the Constitution granted to them by his excellent and lamented brother. King WILLIAM, and then vented his rage on Professors, Corporators, Legislators, and on all who did not concur with him in his bigoted claims to what he calls his rights of prerogative. When he has by these means banished all those who will not lend themselve s to arbitrary power, he may boast that he has given peace to the country, as the Romans gave peace, by causing universal desolation. It is fortunate for this arbitrary Prince that he does not rule over islanders who, rather than submit to the influence and coercion of the Continental Powers who secretly support him in this attack upon the freedom and independence of his subjects, would treat him as they treated the predecessors of the House of Brunswick. Madrid papers of the 20th inst., have been re ceived. The debate on the fiteros Was still going on in the Senate. On the 19th a Cabinet Council was held, when the question of a dissolution of the Cortes, or of the Ministry, was strenuously argued in presence of the Regent. General ALAIX spoke in favour of the Exaltaclo policy, and evidently wishes to take OLOZAGA and SANCHO into the Cabinet. No definite measure was resolved upon, as nothing could be done without the previous consent of Es- PARTERO, who has not yet declared himself as the adherent or leader of any party. CABRERA has issued an Order of the Day to his troops, dated tho... 11th instant, in which he states that ESPARTERO, instead of victory, w find a grave in Arragon.

MADRID, OCT. 18.—Yesterday their Majes ties the Queen and Queen Regent, and the Infanta Dona Luisa Fernanda, proceeded to the Convent or Nunnery of the Delcalzas Reales, where they stopped a good long hour to hear a grand mass read and chaunted to our Lady del Milagro, whose image is revered in that sanctuary of Charity and Brides of the Saviour, in fulfilment of a vow made on some pinching emergency of the late struggle. It ma y be proper to observe, that the P retender, when fancying himself ascending the throne of Spain, had de clared it to be his sovereign will to shut the widow of Ferdinand, as he used to call the Queen Regent, for the rest of her natural life in this very same Nunnery of Descalzas Reales, and that it is therefore natural to conjecture that her Majesty may have made a vow vo. butterfly to do homage at this wonder-working shrine, del Milagro, if it should please Providence, at t_treein7 te..cclion of th e H o l y Vi rg i n , to spare h er t h is f adoration for the remainder of her days. It is reported that while Baron de Lagos was here he was offered the post of Minister of Finance by her Majesty, as well as by the Premier, but he refused the high honour. It is well that the Bri tish holders of Bonds should know for their guid ance in any arrangement which may be proposed to them, that the New Five per Cents., now issued in virtue of the authority of the last Cortes for this loan lately contracted for are only worth from 511. to 521. per cent. in the market, notwithstanding that the re quired sum for the purpose of paying the dividends has been expressly set apart with the Board of Public Credit. It cannot arise from a general feeling of dis trust. Exchange on London is 56k, and the price of the ex paper money 60 to 61 per cent. discount.

Various accounts have been published in the Morn ing Journals respi.cting the return of Mr. Jaudon from Amsterdam, to which capital he proceeded to negotiate a loan in aid of the Bank of the United States. The information on the subject greatly differs ; one Journal states that the negocia,jon is going on favourably, while another states that his journey has not been attended with success, owing to the unfavourable state of the Dutch Money Market.

If subserviency to the Court be the right road to a seat in the Apostolical conclave at the Vatican, no Ecclesiastic in France has trodden it more unde viatir2ly than lIYACYNTH, Archbishop of Paris— The Dunkirk Journal Le Dutikerquoise, says, that the result of the cod fishing on the coast of Ireland this season, has been still more disastrous than in 1837. Eighty-eight ships were fitted out from Dunkirk for the cod-fishing on the coast of Ireland, and, on the Dogger Bank, only seventy have returned, of eighteen others five were wrecked on the coast of Ireland, and the part of the crew that was saved has been brought home by the other ships. The remaining thirteen were not seen after the storms in March and April, and it is feared they are totally lost. Their crews amounted to 167 men, which, added to eighteen other sailors of the port of Dunkirk belonging to other ships, who were drowned, make the number of 185 men lost in 1839 on the coast of Ireland.—Le Constilutionel.

UPPER CANADA, KINGSTON, SEPT. 28.—" The weather within the last few days has been very cold and unpleasant. On Wednesday and yesterday heavy cold rains fell. Last evening we were visited by a slight fall of snow, and during the night there was a sharp frost. Yesterday there was a heavy gale on the Lake, and several schooners were driven into our harbour fiom various quarters. " THE STAVE TRADE.—This is becoming a very extensive branch of trade at this place ; not less than twenty vessels are now discharging their cargoes about Kingston." MONTREAL, OCT. 3.—There is nothing new to-day. The weather has been rainy and unpleasant since yes terday, and the clouds have yet a watery appearance. QUEBEC, OCT. 4.—Th e weather, which has been so long rainy, with southerly, easterly, and westerly winds, cleared up last night, with a stout north• wester, and this morning has the appearance, of being settled. A few weeks favourable weather would enable the farmers to secure, in good condition, an abundant potato crop. A Lisbon mail has arrived this morning, sailed on the 21st October, by the Liverpool steamer, from Gibraltar the 17th, Cadiz the 18th, and Oporto the 23d. By the acec2unts received by the Lisbon mail a con ference, it appears was held between the Ministers and some few Senators or Deputies, to deliberate on the plan proposed by Baron de Lagos, the financial agent of the Portuguese Government in London, for the pay ment of part of the interest on the foreign debt. This plan is to convert the whole debt into Six pef Cents., giving .50/. of Six per Cent. Stock for every 1001. of the Three per Cents. ; and towards the payment of divi dends to set apart 900 centos a year out of the 1,400 annually paid by the tobacco contractors, as the price of their monopoly. The Minister of Justice and two of the Deputies present set their faces decidedly against it ; but nevertheles it was approved by the majority, and is to be submitted to the Cortes when they meet. The Ministers have proposed to the Queen to convoke the Chambers for the 20th of next month, for the purpose of taking the measure into consideration ; but her Ma jesty has refused to convene them before the usual time, which is the beginning of the new year ; but according to appearance, if the plan be laid before the Cortes it will be scouted at the very first mention, as the whole of the ultra Liberal journals have declared themselves in opposition to it.

It was therefore impossible that he could have been running about in the manner described, the whole of the day. Thirtell—He was with me three different half-hours. The LORD MAYOR—It is not likely that he could without his master having missed him. However po sitive you may be, you must be mistaken. His conduct is not like that of a guilty person, for here be volun tarily attends. Where are the witnesses who were likely to speak to the identity of the party ? Thirtell—They have gone to America. The LORD MAYOR-4 am satisfied he is not the person. You have done him a serious injury, and would have subjected him to transportation if the charge bad been proved. _ Several individuals here wished to speak as to the character of the young man, but The LORD MAYOR said, lam quite satisfied. His character stands as high as ever it did. The case shows the advantage of a good character. The young man is very much aggrieved at the charge. What recom pense do you propose to make him ? Tuirtell—l am satisfied it is so. The LORD MAYOR—He is confident of his own in' nocence, but does not wish to prosecute you for false imprisonment, and says if you will pay forty shillings to some charity he will take no more notice of the matter, if not, he will bring an action for damages. You will get off more easily by acceding to his proposal. Alter some hesitation, the sum was paid, and the mdtt er terminated. HATTON-GARDEN-(T IS ii DAY.
