The Sun. — London, England, 1832-09-29 00:00:00

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29. 1932. Some reports highly unfavourable to Don PEDRO'S expedition have been in circulation this morning ; but they are totally devoid of founda.. tion. One report was that MIGUEL'S troops had taken possession of the heights commanding Oport o , and were proceeding to bombard the City to the ground. We have made inquiries at the proper official quarters, and can state that ' l O such news has been received. In fact there has been no intelligence from Oporto received t his day in London. It was on this day (the 29th) that the grand assault was expected to be made, it being MIGUEL'S Saint's day. We regret to hear that, in consequence of some misunderstanding between the agents of n On PEDRO and the contractors for a reinforce ment to be sent to Oporto, under the command of Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE, it will now be impossible for the reinforcement in question to arriv e in Oporto in time to be of any utility as regards the immediate defence of that city. We have heard a great deal of the difference in ques tion, but shall make no further allusion to it than stating, that the fault of delay is neither with Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE, who has behaved throughout the affair with great liberality, nor with the Portuguese Ambassador, or the Secre tary of Legation, M. DE LIMA, each of whom has appeared anxious to meet the views of the Gallant Officer, and behaved in a way entitled only to commendation. It is to some subordi nate persons, we believe, that Don PEDRO is indebted for his disappointment in this instance. It has been erroneously stated in some of the papers that Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE was to have had the Command-in-Chief of the Por tuguese Constitutional army. He was merely to have commanded his own division of 1,500 men, and to have had the nomination of officers up to the rank of captain ; but what a reinforce ment would these 1,500 men have been under so experienced and daring a commander ! If Col. HODGES, with about 600 Englishmen, has ef fected so much, what might not have been done by a junction between him and Sir JOHN DOYLE W ith a force of 1,500 ? The opportunity, how ever, has b een l ost as far as the defence of Opor hto Was concerned, for at this moment Don oDRO is either safe for the winter, or all his pes of retaining p o ssessi on of Oporto are at an en the d. Supposing,ltowever, that the oper a ti ons of besiegers are over for the season, the ar rival of such a force as that which it is proposed to send out under Sir JOHN DOYLE will be of Signal,, us e i n offensive operations on the part of D on PEDRO. The cautious game has been played enough on both sides, and a little of the dash Which is generally successful under critical cir cumstances, may be safely practised. A more fit leader in such a system of warfare than Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE could not be chosen, and we feel confident, that if he were at this Moment in Oporto, with his 1,500 men, he and Colonel HODGES would not be three days be fore they were on their march to attack the tiger in his den. Since writing the above, we have heard it atated, that Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE will go out on his own account with 500 men, and that a Gallant Colonel —also a Member of Parliament —has been appointed chef d'etat Major to the constitutional army. _ The Revenue returns for the past week are not so favourable as those of the two or three preceding weeks ; but it is still expected that there will be a handsome surplus for the quarter. We understand, upon inquiry, that the an nouncement of intended modifications in the Mi nistry, which has been made by a Morning Con temporary, is, to say the least, premature. Nothing very decisive was agreed upon in the Conference which was held last night at the Fo reign Office. The propriety and importance of adopting a more positive tone towards the King of HOLLAND appears, however, to be fully appreciated ; and the Russian ambassador, although anxious for further delay, finds the feeling on this point so general as to the other Members of the Conference, that he has not ventured to propose any further application to the Court of St. Petersburgh. The Conference of last night was chiefly taken up in conversation as to the best course to be adopted, without any proposition having been regularly discussed ; and an anxiety to avoid such coercive measures as might, by any possibility, produce a general war, was manifested. The arrival of the French fri gate, with information that the French fleet isin readiness to join our squadron, was allowed to be rather premature ; but we are happy to learn that iVI. de MAREUIL, the French ambassador, has warmly and zealously vindicated the promp titude with which the French Government have acted in this affair, and forcibly pointed out the justice of complying with the demands of the Belgians, after having recognised their inde pendence, and placeda Sovereign on the Throne in order to avoid the erection of a Republic. An opinion has prevailed for some time paste that M. de MAREUIL was rather a parti zan of Holland. It is but common justice to say, that he has acted latterly in a way to prove that the opinion was utterly unfounded. Lord PALMERSTON, too, has amply made amends for the unwise courtesies which he so long exhi bited towards the Powers of the North, and there is at last a prospect of the assumption of a tone more becoming a great and free nation. It must not be imagined, however, that coercive measures such as are usually adopted will be exercised against Holland in the first instance. The King of HOLLAND will be warned of the danger of further resistance. If this warning should not take effect, the Belgians will be autho rized to withhold payment of the portion of the debt which has been saddled upon them. If that should fail, the Dutch ports will be block aded ; and if the KING should still hold out, then recourse will be had to the common argu ment of Sovereigns. The coups de canons will, however, be the best argument, and as suf ficient delay will precede its use, it may either become unnecessary, or Russia will, by that time, be prepared to take part in the contest. The Conference broke up last night with an understanding, that they are to meet again on Monday. To-day an account will be pre pared of the discussion of yesterday, and it is hoped that by Monday something may occur to render an arrangement more practicable. Thus the Protocoliques of Europe go on hoping and hoping, whilst those who are interested in the prevention of au arrangement are daily augment ing their means of annoyance. We extract the following from the Metropo litan Magazine for October, just published : " In putting the hand to the plough of Church Reform, there is no turning back. The sub ject once touched, it must be honestly and fear lessly sifted to the bottom. Nay more, if the Union with England is to be preserved, the Pro testant Church Supremacy must be abandoned and destroyed. A Catholic nation will no lon ger tolerate such an anomaly, when even the Protestant people of England are tired of the abuse, and are calling for religious equality. The sooner, therefore, the adjustment is made, the better for all parties ; and before all things, let the Ministry remark, that there must be no shuffling, no compromise, no half-measures, no weakness. To the empire at large we would observe, that the state of Ireland is the just retribution which the eternal nature of things provides to punish oppression. The people of England owe Ireland a heavy debt, from having stood the tranquil observers of Ministerial ag gressions against that portion of the empire. They have permitted the Aristocracy of England to treat Ireland like a province, and they now suffer from its struggles. Let the universal people of Great Britain, then, observe towards Ireland that policy which a landlord would prac tise towards a farm that is out of condition."— The tithe question, as the Metropolitan after wards truly observes, has been the great blunder of the Whig Ministry. They have come to its discussion in a spirit of distrust and hesitation, as if convinced that no possible good could come of mooting the point. Where they should have met it manfully, they have shrunk from it ; where they should have been decided, they have been vacillating and over fastidious. No great q ues tion was ever turned to fit account by being dealt with in this spirit. If the Whigs are really de sirous of pacifying Ireland, and so strengthening the Empire's right arm, let them set about the tithe question in a manly, uncompromising spirit, and, above all, bear in mind, that in whatever amendments they may henceforth pro ject, they will commit a far more grievous error by doing too little than too much. By the express from Paris this morning, th e French Papers of Thursday, and the Messager des Chambres, dated yesterday, have been re ceived. They are principally filled with com ments on the late Stock jobbing affair of the premature death of King FERDINAND, which has caused the entire ruin of several stock brokers, who speculated largely in Spanish Rentes. The Ministry is not yet formed, as M. DUPIN has positively declared that he will not accept office unless he has the portfeuille of the Minister of the Interior and the Presidency of the Council, which Louis PHILIPPE ap pears reluctant to resign. The general opinion, however, is, that he will give way, and M. DUPIN form a new Ministry, in which Messrs. GUIZOT and BERTIN will take a decided part. The affairs of Holland and Belgium create a great interest at present on the Bourse, and much speculation on the subject is afloat. Per sons well versed in politics and the state of Europe, seem all agreed upon one point, that war will not take place between Holland and Belgium, notwithstanding the belligerent posi tion of the two parties, and the marching of a French army to the northern frontiers. The Ambassadors of Austria, Prussia, and Russia have had several conferences with Count SEBAS. TIANI on this subject, which are said to have terminated satisfactorily. The appointment of Marshal Count Mo- LITOR to the command of the army of observa tion, which is forming in the south, is the subject of much conversation, and it is generally believed that LOUIS PHILIPPE is afraid, should Don CARLOS assume the title of King, that he will encourage the intrigues of the Duchess of BERRY and the fallen dynasty, as Marshal BoußmoNT is in constant communication with this enter prising Princess, who still keeps her position in La Vendee. The Moniteur Beige, of the 26th, printed at Brussels, has been received by estafette. It gives a detailed account of the review at which King LEOPOLD, the QUEEN, and her brother, his Royal Highness the Duke of ORLEANS, with a numerous staff, were present, and that great rejoicings were preparing at Brussels to commemorate the anniversary [of the three grand days of the Revolution. Nothing is men tioned of hostilities having commenced between Holland and Belgium ; the Duke of SAXE WEIMAR was, however, marching with strong forces upon Maestricht. The Duke de NEmoußs had arrived at the head-quarters of the French army of the north, and joined Marshal GERARD. The troops were still being reinforced by artillery from Yin • cennes, Lafere, and Metz. Nothing new has been received from Bayonne. The funds were rather lower, owing to reports in the English papers of the cannonade on the Dutch coast. Three per cents. 68f. It has been argued, and justly argued, that one of the natural effects of slavery, in the form in which it exhibits itself in the West Indies, is to diminish population. The Morn ing Post, which has a natural sympathy with oppression in all quarters of the world, has an article to day, given in another part of our Pa per, written for the purpose of proving, first, that the decrease in the population amounts to little or nothing, and next, that it must of necessity be enormous, although from a cause different from any assigned by the friends of negro eman cipation. The decrease, says the Post, arises from the disparity in the sexes, ergo, all that is said by the abolitionists must go for nothing, and the negroes must still go on cultivating sugar, with the cart-whip suspended over their shoulders. In the first place we do not feel much inclined to yield either to the facts or arguments of the Morning Post, for, if we recollect rightly, Lord HoWICK, it was, who stated to the House of Commons last year, that the number of children born of slave parents, in the colo►iies.most remarkable for this slave mortality, had been equal to the number of children born of a similar number of Euro pean parents. We imagine that the slaves were born in tolerably equal proportions; and had the parties been free, the law of nature, which bids men increase and multiply, whilst there is food for them to eat, would have been fulfilled. But they were not free, and Lord Howzcx distinctly traced the mortality, which brought about the deplorable result he stated, the excessive labour which children were sub jected to. We will leave the Post to reconcile its contradictory arguments and assertions, and taking for granted that the slaves do increase, will ask him how the fact impeaches the con clusion to which Mr. FOWELL BUXTON and his friends arrive ? Unless he can impeach that conclusion, a cart•load of fine-drawn arguments, such as we have to-day, must just go for nothing. Our attention has been called to a long article headed Liberalism versus Liberality, or, A fete Spots on The Sun, which appears in the Cale donian Mercury, received this day. It is in tended as an answer to some observations which appeared in this Paper on the ultra expression of devotional regret manifested (ac cording to the account in the Caledonian Mercury) by the people of Edinburgh, on the departure of CHARLES X. from that enlightened city. We say the article is intended as an an swer ; but it appears rather as the vehicle of much personal abuse levelled against the presumed author of the observations. Perhaps it will be some consolation to the editor of the Caledonian Mer cury to know, that, in this instance, as on a former occasion, it so happens that the editor of The Sun did not write the article for which he is so much, indebted to his northern contemporary for his gen tlemanly consideration. This being disposed of it were, perhaps, as well to admit that the editor, who is responsible for all that appears in the paper, is ready to justify the general spirit of the observa tions, though he may regret that the language in which they were couched was, perhaps, less guarded than conventional usage would justify on ordinary occasions. With respect to Louis PHILIPPE, our Con temporary is also in error ; The Sun is no admirer of the conduct pursued by the King of the Barricades, as its columns will attest. But were it otherwise, would the misconduct of Louis PHILIPPE justify the errors of CHARLES X. ? We can respect fallen greatness, and com miserate misfortune, but we have no sym pathy with those who can abet crime, merely because it boasts a Royal paternity. We dismiss the other portion of the article in the same spirit of charity in which it was written. On another occasion we hope there will be no " mistake." ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (THIS DAY.) This being Michaelmas day, a Common Hall was held for the election of Lord Mayor, for the year ensuing. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, Re corder, Common Serjeant, and other City Officers, arrived on the hustings. The Hall was greatly crowded, occa sioned, no doubt, by the rumour that it was i❑ contem plation to bring forward some person as a candidate who was not a Member of the Court of Aldermen ; but those who expected such a novel exhibition were disappointed. The RECORDER came forward and, as usual, was re ceived with loud groans and hisses. He said the Livery were summoned, by virtue of a precept of the Lord Mayor, to exercise their valuable franchise of electing, from the Aldermen of the City of Lon don, two to be returned to the Court of Aldermen, who would select which of the two should fill the high and important office of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The names of the Aldermen would be read over by the Common Serjeant, and then the Livery would select which two they chose. Mr. 'STEVENS begged, before the business proceeded further, to address a few words to the Livery. He said he did not come forward with any unkind feelings towards Sir Peter Laurie; but as they took up a certain position last year, and as they then proved theirdetermination to sup port the cause of Reform, he wished now to ask the worthy Knight a question. He believed the friends of freedom in the city did not think that on the present occasion there was any necessity to interfere with the principle of rotation— ( Hear) —and that it was only on extraordinary occasions that:the Livery would act as they did last year ; but then there was an extraordinary occasion, and they had an extraordinary man, who had served them truly and faithfully.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Stevens) held in his hand a placard, which was this morning posted through the city, which he would first read, and then would ask the worthy Knight a question relative to it. If either the ' worthy Knight or his committee avowed that placard, then it was to be hoped the Livery would reject Sir Peter Laurie. The placard ran thus :—." Sir Peter Laurie for Lord Mayor, who last year was honoured with the support of all the respectable Livery—(llisses)—but because he would not make himself a political puppet, was deprived of his rights by a combination of —." He (Mr. S.) begged the Livery to mark this—(Loud hisses)—" by a combination of Radicals and Revolu tionists, with the lowest blackguards of the (Loud hisses, and cries of ' Off, off,' and Shame')— " who have in vain--"—( Here the uproar was so great, that Mr. Stevens could not proceed.) Sir P. LAURIE came forward amidst mingled cheers and hisses, and begged of the Livery—of his friends in particular, to give Mr. Stevens a fair hearing. Mr. STEVENS with difficulty proceeded, " was deprived of his right by a combination of radicals and revolutionists, with the lowest blackguards in the city, who have in vain attempted the same trick this year, and who are only anxious to overturn all our ancient institutions, of which Laurie, who has never changed, has been the firm sup porter."--(Loud hisses.) He bad one question to put, which was as important to the worthy Knight as it was to the Livery. No man could vote at civic elections who was not a Liveryman, and no man could become a Livery_ man who did not move in a respectable sphere of life— (Hear, hear)—and therefore he wished to ask whether the worthy Knight knew of or had participated in any way, directly or indirectly, by himself, his personal friends, or any of his committee, in the circula tion of that placard; or whether it had his sanction. The subject could be traced, for the man who was em ployed to post the bills was now in custody in the Hall, and could of course be questioned. Sir P. LAURIE, amidst cheers and hisses, said em phatically, he disavowed the bill for himself or his com mittee.—(Cheers.) It was " a weak invention of the enemy," and if he could be capable of sending forth such a document, he should consider himself unworthy of standing before the Livery.—(Cheers.) Mr. LEGGE, the Chairman of Sir Peter's committee, also disavowed all participation in the printing and circu lation of the bill, and said he would not so far insult the understanding of the Livery as to imagine they could at tribute such a document to Sir Peter's friends. The COMMON SERJEANT then in the usual way read the names of the Aldermen who had not passed the chair, and from whom the Livery were to select two to be returned to the Court of Aldermen. Their names were Aldermen Sir Peter Laurie, Farebrother, Winchester, Copeland, Kelly, Cowan, and Sir C. Marshall. The Common Crier having put those gentlemen in no mination, The Com3toN SERJEANT announced that the Sheriffs declared the election to have fallen on Sir P. Laurie, Al derman and sadler, and Thomas Kelly, Esq., Alderman and plasterer.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then retired, and pro ceeded to the Court of Aldermen. On their return to the hustings the RECORDER declared the choice of the Court of Aldermen to have fallen on Sir Peter Laurie, which announcement was received by the vast assemblage with the most enthusiastic cheers. Sir PETEICLAUME, after being invested with the chain of office, stepped forward amid luud and long continued cheering to return thanks. The worthy Knight said, that when be surveyed the vast concourse of kind friends that surrounded him, and considered at what inconve nience to themselves they had come here to-day, he could hardly find words sufficient to thank them. Men were often conquered by their foes, but he was vanquished by the kindness of his friends.—(Cheers.) A respectable ward had chosen him their Magistrate, but the height of every citizen's ambition was to be unanimously chosen the Chief Magistrate of so great a city.—(Cheers.) To that height he had arrived, and was determined not to be the Magistrate of part, but the whole.—(Cheers.) He trusted those who had elevated him to the high honour of Chief Magistrate of London would never have occasion to repent of the choice that they had made.— (Cheers.) He was,quite aware of the arduous duties of the office, but he trusted, with the great assistance of the legal advisers of the city, to be able to perform them, at the same time dealing out justice to the people, and mercy to the offender.—(Hear, hear, and loud Cheers.) It would always be his study to support the dignity of the civic chair. He would never be a party magistrate, or meddle with party. The office he was ho noured with was municipal and not political ; he could assure the Livery that he would never be the man to restrain the expression of the freedom of their sentiments ; it was clearly their right, and he would be the last man to deprive them of it.—(Cheers.) He trusted that during the year he held office there would be peace abroad and unanimity at home ; if, however, it should be otherwise, he would yield to no man in mental or physical courage in endeavouring to pre serve the peace of the city. He trusted, that after his year of office had expired, he should be enabled to return the trust the Livery had so unanimously reposed in him untarnished and unsullied.—(Tremendous cheering.) Thanks were then voted to the late Sheriffs, who re turned thanks, after which the Common.hall adjourned. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TIVEL VE O'CLOCK. The only arrivals as yet received at the North and South American Coffee-house are the Quebec Papers to the 26th of August. (From the Quebec Paper of the 25th of August.) The Quebec Mercury has taken some pains to justify the Colonial Government of Upper and Lower Canada against a supposed accusation of having furnished false in formation on the prospects of emigrants. The Mercury might have been better employed in the justification of those who have been accused. There are those in the Colonies who make a trade of emigration, and speculate on the in troduction of emigrants into the Canadas. The burials in the Protestant ground yesterday (four in number) were emigrants. Since our last publication the cholera has car. ried off Doctors Cathcart and Muckleburg, and also two soldiers in the garrison. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY ) FROM LLOYD'S.

A dark green shooting coat double breasted, with buttons of the same cloth ; it has only two pockets, one in each breast ; a leathern pouch fastened by a strap on the shoulder supplies the place of more pockets, and is at the same time more convenient. Breeches of buff velveteen, with leather gaiters fastened down the legs with straps and buckles. WALKING DRESS. A morning dress coat, double-breasted and lippelled skirts rather broad, with pockets under the flaps, and collar of velvet. Waistcoat of buff cachemere, single breasted, with turn-over collar. Trousers, white mole-kin, buttoned up in front, cut tight about the hips, easy in th• leg, sloping gently over the instep, without a vent. RIDING DRIISS. A French brown dress coat, with velvet collar, same colour ; small silk buttons, to stand rather thick, square end collar, and lappels to correspond at top; no flips. Waistcoat of printed Marseilles, single•breasted, with stand-up collar, edges bound. Trousers whole fall-down; leg-seams strait, and bottoms hollowed out, with straps under the foot. ADDITIONAL NOVELTIES IN GENTLEMEN'S DRESS. Thanks to the march of liberal ideas, Fashion at present frees her votaries from the ridiculous subjection in which she formerly held them. We recollect, even a few years ago, green was the fashion for coats, and all our dandies, without regard to age or figure, were dress,d in green. Now there is no decided fashion either for the colours or the cut of gentlemen's Lire's. Every fashionable dresses according to his taste; this is advantageous both to society and to trade; thus we observe that coats, which have the skirts long and narrow, a petites Anglaises, and collars a petits crans, are quite as fashionable as those with large lsppels and wide skirts. For shooting, however, there is a new article introdued, called a twilled lustring. It is lighter than a gawbroon, being made of cotton, yet sufficiently compact to keep out the thorns and also the weather. Shooting trousers too are made of it, with a gaiter tongue, and strapped under the foot. Brown will be a fashionable colour for coats this winter; several new shades of that colour have already appeared. One of them resembles sea green. The buttons were yellow, and quite a new pattern. Pantaloons coff,e colour, and the waistcoat white. This ensemble is extremely genteel. - Costly trimmings are likely to be much in favour this winter. We may cite among other instances a redingote droite, with long skirts. The front of the breast is trimmed with a very elegant pattern of braiding ; broad at the top, but narrower at the bottom. The collar turns over, and the ends are rounded. The waist is highly trimmed with braiding. WAISTCOATS.-Those of the small shawl form are always fashionable ; some are made to button up to the top, the lappet is very small, rounded, and arranged so as not to discover that seam. White marcella are much worn. White pantaloons are also in favour, they ars made without either bands or baguettes at the sides. Coloured pantaloons are trimmed with bands of the same miterial, with a silk galon, or with a column formed by a braided pattern. A very simple style of dress has lately been observed among the most elegant men of fashion. Black cloth is most in favour both for coats and redingotes. Daring the late warm weather we observed several redingotes in summer materials, such as merinos of the finest kind, and satin de laine, either black, or vent bronze, with velvet collars to correspond. DOVER, SEPT. 27.—His Majesty's packet Crusader has arrived to-day from Calais, but the good folks there are as much in the dark as we are as to the cause of the cannonading heard in the direction of Flan dere for two days and one night. A gentleman who came 'passebger by her stated that it was caused by a grand re view which took place at Antwerp, where the KING and QUEEN and Duc d ' ORLEtNs, and other distinguished persons, were present, and that the firing was continued at night, in consequence of rejoicings on account of the opening of a canal. Between 30 and 40 fine young men, foreigners, embarked to-day, on board the Dart sloop, to join the cause of Don PEDRO. SHOCKING MURDER IN WESTMEATH.--. Extract of a letter from Alu!linger :—" A moat horrible occurrence has taken place in this neighbourhood. On Sunday evening, a party of persons visited the gardens of the Rev. Mr. COOHLAN, and, in the presence of his curate, beat a man who had taken the gardens so severely, that be died in a tew moments after wards.—Dublin Morning Register.

The number of persons who presented them. selves for confirmation, during the late tour of the Bishop of WINCHESTER, in Hampshire, was far greater than on any former similar occasion, the total amounting to nearly 13,000. LUCKY ESCAPE BY PURSUING A RAT.--. On Saturday last Mr. JOHN TURNER, of Llanbadarn Vynydd, Radnorshire, innkeeper, was pitching straw to cover a wheat-stack, when a rat ran from one stack to the other, and Mr. TURNER pursued it.
