CIA,--I feel it a duty I owe to you and to the public of Newcastle, to inform you of the speedy and effectual cure of Cholera Morbus which I have batpily experienced by the use of the Vegetable Medicine, so that other persons who may become subjects of that dreadful disease, may be led to adopt the same effectual remedy. On Sunday morning last, about half-past five o'clock, I was suddenly seized with a violent sickness and purging, and excruciating pains ;e the stomach and bowels, to such a degree that I could not long have endured such extreme agony. It provid , otially happened that my brother had b some of your pity and he immediately admini stered by him, ten p ill, of No. 2, but without any apparent effect; shortly aft,.' he added twenty more of the same number, which fe eedily relieved the cramp, a free evacuation fol lowed, which entirely removed the pain, and after conti ruiLig the medicine for a few days, I now, thank God, feel wyself perfectly restored.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, Auausr The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Speaker's Pension Bill, the Lord Chancellor's Bill, the Exchequer Bills Bill, Roman Catholic Bequest Bill, the Special Constables (Ireland) Bill, the Assessed Taxes Composition Bill, and others. The Commissioners were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of WELLESLEY, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. The Earl of ROSSLYN presented a petition from cer tain persons in the East Indies against the East India Jus tice of the Peace and Jury Bill. The Party Processions and Forgery Bills were read a third time and passed. WEST INDIA COLONIES RELIEF BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a third time, The Duke of WELLINGTON asked how long the al lowance was to be granted to the colonies ? Lord GODERICH said for one year. With respect to those colonies the municipal authority was in the hands of the Crown, which liad made a variety of Orders in Council not applicable to other colonies. These Orders in Council certainly increased the cost of production in those colonies, and it was therefore thought not unreasonable to ask Par liament to give them relief in this way—not for any dis tinct loss, but for the general disadvantage under which they necessarily suffered. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that, under such cir cumstances, the relief should continue as long as the Orders in Council were enforced. Lord GODERICH said, he could give no pledge be yond the present year. It might hereafter be proper to take a snore general view of the subject, but that would be for future consideration. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. The Ea , t India Juries Bill and the Greek Convention Bill were severally read a third time, and passed. FINANCES OF THE COUNTRY. On the motion for the passing of the Colonial Relief Bill, The Duke of WELLINGTON said he was sorry that his desire to make some observations upon the finance of the country should have put the Noble Earl (Grey) to the ! inconvenience of coining down to the House ; but he felt, when he reflected upon the situation which he bad lately occupied in his Majesty's Councils, that it was his duty not to suffer that Bill to pass without drawing the atten tion of their Lordships to the state of the finances of the country. The Noble Duke here commenced speaking in a tone of voice so low that it was almost impossible to catch even the purport of his observations. As well as we could follow him, we understood him to institute a comparison between the revenues and the ex i enditure of each quarter of 1831 and 1832, and between the revenue and expenditure of the year 1831, in order to show, in the first place, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made erroneous estimates of both ; and, secondly, to show, that there had been a deficiency of upwards of 300,0001. in the revenue of 1831, which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had not provided for in the late budget. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had contemplated in his late statement a surplus for 1822, of about 773,0001.; but, in doing so, he made no allowance whatever for the defi ciency of previous years. He had sonic observations to make with respect to the reductions which had been made in the expenditure of the country. A comparison had been made between the charges of the present and the previous year, by which it would appear that there had been a reduction in the naval expenditure of 260,000/. ; but then votes had been omitted altogether, as in the case of the 50,0001. for the Custom-house at Liverpool. There had been, also, a miscalculation on the produce of the wine duties. The consumption of the French wines had been considerably reduced, while, owing to the reduction of duty, there had been a larger consumption of other wines than was contemplated. After some other obser vations, which were quite inaudible in the gallery, the Noble Duke said that he did not think the statement made by the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer one upon which the finance of the country ought to be allowed to rest.

Then came the saving on the purchase of timber for the navy. Now, the magazines for the supply of the navy must be kept up by an annual expenditure. If they curtailed this annual expenditure one year, they would be compelled to spend more at a future period, and not so advantageously for the country, for it was indispensably necessary that the timber ler the navy should be well seasoned, and to purchase it when required would cost at least double what it would do to keep a regular and constant sup ply. At all events, it was impossible to calculate this saving as being more than temporary. There was, however, another view of the subject. It was the duty of Government always to look further than the year current. They should look to what might happen hereafter. Would any one say that the King's Government was left as it ought to be, with the de ficiency of the former year unprovided fur, and the pros pect before them of a Reformed Parliament, composed no body could say how or of whom ? This, however, was not the only circumstance to be considered. The very first effort the country might be called on to make, it would be found that the Government, and the country also, was encircled with the greatest difficulties. Let them look to Ireland and to the colonies, and also to the Peninsula. There was scarcely a point in which it was not possible that his Majesty might be called upon to make an exertion which would cause an immediate call upon the finances of the country. lie could not help expressing his feelings that the state of the country as regarded its foreign policy required the serious attention of the l Govern rent, su rroun d e d as t h at po li cy was w i t h diffi cu l ty an d azard. It was not his intention to say any thing ntwohi was right e , rr gedh Governments ti n a t o t d p e his n mightown it . th eI ie.present Nv opinion,entertainas. f which could lead to an angry debate ; and while, there 111i- s the bestlinidgeatothaadtmiitt forward • Portugal.which believewtahsa that policyWereoing fo misledr thisi t countryh e tro p n i t o o n sp, pursue e that w atsh thate thoughtof en couraging the revolution in Portugal. He would ask them, however, to contemplate for one moment what had passed there. Don Pedro, with all his force, had made no progress there in the course of a w InAc bear.) In the course of that period—he would not say no egiment—no great portion either of the soldiery or of the wc:oeitlnhintelvgsahttlonwe silt people—but not a man had joined, and his rule extended no further than the town which his military force first placed him in possession of.—(Hear.) The present Go verntnent of this country might feel that Don Miguel was a usurper, and might have imagined that the people of that country had a desire to get rid of him; but seeing now how things really stand, the military events being, he ad mitted, iu his favour, and Don Pedro not being able to advance from Oporto, be thought it would he wise policy for the Government to put an end to the : contest. It was obvious that the invader could not succeed except by military means. He had as good a commander under him as any whom he (the Duke of Wellington) knew of, and he had a host of military adventurers from all parts of Europe. So that, as it would now appear, if he succeeded at all it must be by means of these adventurers, and con trary to the wishes of the inhabitants. He concluded from this state of things that if this invasion should suc ceed, nothing could be hoped or expected but a continu ance of war in that unhappy country, which would spread itself to Spain, and thence to' other countries. Ile could not look at the state of things going on there, and the prospects resultingfrorn them particularly to this country, without deprecating it in every point of view, and en treating Government to put an end to the contest there as soon as possible. lie called upon them to do so with a view to the effect of such a result as he anticipated upon the resources of this country. He could not help adverting to the position in which the British fleet in that part of the world now stood. lie had mentioned that our fleet had been sent to Portugal, mainly to give protection to his Majesty's sub jects there ; and upon • all former occasions on which this country had been placed in a similar position it had been usual to adopt measures to enable his Majesty's sub jects to quit the country, which was likely to become the seat of war, or if they chose to remain, to inform them that they must incur all the risks which a war might subject them to.—(Hear, hear.) It did not appear that this had been very closely attended to in Portugal. No doubt at the head of the fleet there was an Ad miral meriting most unbounded confidence, and very likely he would do all that one situated as he is ought to be LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGU►ST 16, 1832 expected to do ; and, if any improper invasion was made, he was bound to give protection by an act of hostility. Further, he had heard the other day, among other things, that Lisbon was at this moment in a state of blocksde, and in a state of blockade by our own fleet. W as thi s an immaterial circumstance.? It was one calling for the most anxious and attentive consideration.—(Hear.) The course taken by his Majesty's Government was not conducive to the maintenance of that neutrality which we ought to maintain. Some Noble Lords might think that, in touching upon the question of Portugal, he bad wandered from the subject of the finances of the country ; but when it was recollected that we were exposed to the great hazard of being called upon to make extraordinary exertions in that country and other parts of Europe, and that our regources would by the state of our finances be improperly crippled, he trusted the House would ex cuse him for having so long trespassed upon its attention. Earl GREY said that such a motion as that of which the Noble Duke had given notice was at this, almost the last hour of the Session, somewhat inconvenient, as he had put by the materials which be had collected, in anticipation of a discussion upon the finances of the country being raised some time back. If he were taken rather by surprise on the subject of which the Noble Duke had given notice, how much more must he be surprised at his having gone into a discussion on the policy of Govern ment with respect to Portugal. The Noble Duke might certainly connect the finances of the country with the question of our policy in Portugal in the way he bad done, but not being aware of hie intention, lie was more unprepared to answer his observations than he otherwise should have been. Before, however, he sat down, be trusted that lie should be able to satisfy the Noble Duke upon most points he had raised. He (Earl Grey) cer tainly must admit that the calculations he had made last year, founded upon the then prospects of the revenue, had been disappointed, but it was but just that it should he acknowledged that the disappointment of his Majesty's Ministers had chiefly arisen from their having been defeated in their attempts to substitute other taxes for those which they repealed. The deficiency having arisen, the Noble Duke now seemed to complain that it had not been provided for by the imposition of additional taxes, but his Majesty's Government had thought that under all the cir cumstances of the case they best discharged their duty to their country by endeavouring to meet it by a re duction of expenditure, and, accordingly, the expendi ture had been reduced to the amount of two millions, which left the expenditure of the year 45,666,0001. To meet this we had a revenue of 46,470,0001., leaving a surplus upon the year of upwards of 800,0001. This was to be deducted from a deficiency of 1,240,0001., which existed on the sth April 1832, so that the deficiency upon the two years ending the sth April, 1833, would only be 376,4161. This deficiency could only be met in one of two ways, either by imposing new taxes, or by a gradual im provement in the revenue of the country. Now his Noble Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had concealed no thing of the state of our finances, and it had been acknow ledged by those who strictly canvassed his measures in the other House of Parliament that he had not overated our resources, and that more income might be expected than he had calculated upon, He would give an instance of his Noble Friend's moderation. He lied not taken credit of any receipts on account of col, duties. He (Earl Grey) rejoiced in the prospect of the abundant harvest which was now presented to them, but he did not think there would be no corn at ail imported, so that under that head there would be some revenue, though his Noble Friend had taken credit fin- none.—( Hear.) But s e o v u s c u h p ni p oosingt here comfort were n n g zi t tl e t hpaetowp people, andl d he s o t i he nc r c e a as u s e e d oaf consumption of other taxable articles, that the revenue would be still increased. In making this estimate his Noble Friend could not be accused of erring. Supposing- it should turn out that he was wrong in that calculation-- on the sanguine sidr, and thus making the revenue appear larger than it mould otherwise be—from the improvement which had tat.e.n place in the revenue, he thought that by the end of the year nearly the whole of the present defi ja;,erevenu: z u .. 14de ,,, He had the from particular .-i ,4 oomstancd, to which he would advert presently, vacs diwir,sheu, and 3-ded. , antir. - ae - to .litninish. He had in his hand to account of the revenue of the last two years, from %critic., it appeared that the decrease was considerable in the lastyear compared with the f o rmer a mount of the revenue was 48,573,0191. and the ret , nue of 1832 was 46,189,5741. period. In 1831 the being a decrease of 2,383,15/. Now, by the last half year's account, ending sth ,f July, 1832, the state of the revenue was 21,084,8561, and for the half year end ing July 5, 1831, the revenue was 21,1 88,9291 . , so that there was only a difference between these two per i o ds of 104,0731., whilst the difference between the whole year amounted to the sum he had stated—viz. 2,383,4751. He therefore did feel justified in what he bad asserted as to the improvement in the revenue, and he looked with con fidence to that view being realised. He thought that their Lordships would ago concur with him in that opinion. He did not take thit gloomy view of the state of the country which many persons did. He believed that the country had means it it, which would overcome all the difficulties which Lac been pressing upon it ; hut, at the saute time, if the defeiency of the revenue should continue, it would be their Lordships' duty to provide for it. Their Lordships were wel aware that, within the last three years,---and that pernd embraced a portion of the adminis tration of the Noble Duke,—a large yearly deduction in taxes had been made. Deduction in taxation to the extent of 1,78000/. had been carried into execution. which had furnisled relief to the country. Under these circumstances he really could not take the desponding view which the ifable Duke took, that the country would be prevented fron making that exertion which the inte rests of the country required. It would be borne in mind, and to this lie hal already adverted, that the dreadful ma lady which had prevailed had a considerable effect upon commerce and trade. The disturbed state of Europe had ..... _ likewise bad a prejudical influence upon trade; even in England we hid not been exempt from the conse quences of agitation.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He was fully aware that from the procrastinated discus. sions which had taken place on the Reform Bill, from the very long time which had elapsed before it passed after its introduction to the other House of Parliament, there was a feeling in the country which produced a de gree of' stagnation in trade. In the three great heads of expenuiture--vaz., army, navy, aria ordnance departments, considerable reductions had been made. The expense of the army for 1831 was 7,551,0241., that of the present year the estimate was 7,087,6821., being a decrease of 463,342/. The Noble Duke had stated that in some of the estimates of the present year the saving would only be temporary, for another year it would not be effected ; and had, as a proof of this, alluded to the saving by not train ing the militia during this year, and had observed that in the reliefs of regiments on colonial service, no such saving another year would be effected. He (Earl Grey) was nut aware that any material difference would exist in reference to these two objections next year from what affected the present. He hoped that the training of the militia would next year not be necessary equally with this; and he be lieved that the expenses of relieving troops on foreign sta tions would be nearly the same as the estimate of this year. For the navy the estimate of 1831 was 5,842,8314., and for 1832 it was 4,848,635/. This made a saving of 994,200/. in favour of this year's esimate. The Noble Duke had made some observations with respect to the coast blockade, and he (Earl Grey) regretted that he was not able to give an answer on that subject, as he was not at that moment in possession of papers relating thereto. With respect to stores, he bad no hesitation in stating that there was a considerable increase of all these in the dock. yards since last year. In tho ordnance department, taking the two years of 1831 and 1832, and compering them as he had done the army and navy, a saving of 54,2561. was eff-cted. The whole reduction on these three great branches of public service for the year amounted to no less a sum than 1,511,7981. This proved that his Ma jesty's Ministers had not been unmindful of lessening the burdens of the people by diminishing the expenditure of the country. This diminution of 463,312/. in the ex pense of the army was effected, even although there had been an increase in the army of 7,000 men since the Noble Duke had quitted o ffi ce . I n the miscellaneous estimates there was a reduction of 931,000/. made since 1831 ; thus makkg the whole reduction of the year upwards of 2,00,000/. In public offices also considerable reductions had been made in additi on t o those made by the Noble Duke in the course of his Administration. In pensions also there would be an ultimate saving of 60,0001. a year, from arrangements made affecting that branch of expen diture, This year a saving of 2,0001. bad been Amin- SUMMER ASSIZES.

The prosecurrix and the prisoner both reside at Woking, in the same row of houses; prisoner is her of eating his gc;osebeFries, andshe had offered to pay for them. The fowls of his neighbours were accustomed to infest his garden, and he bad threat ened to shoot them. Mr. and Mrs. Smithers kept fowls, but according to Mrs. Smithers' evidence, her fowls were so well behaved as never to invade her neighbour's property. Mr. Stevens had threa tened vengeance to the invaders of his garden. On the day on which the offence charged in the indict ment was committed, Mrs. Smithers was sitting by her fire-place, with her back towards her garden door. The garden of the prisoner adjoined her's ; she heard the report of a gun, and felt herself wounded. She turned round, and through her gar den door, which was open, saw the prisoner within seven yards of her with a gun ; between them, on the ground, was the body of a fowl, just shot ; prisoner ran into the house, exclaiming, " Oh ! dear, Mrs. Smithers, what have I done to you ?" She an swered, " Get away, get away, Mr. Stevens." In the mean time, the neighbours collected. Mr. Smithers came home, antl secured the gun ; Stevens expressed great sorrow, and sent a pair of sheets for the bed into which Mrs. Smither s was con veyed, and gave money fur liquor for her, as she complained of faintness ; nevertheless, Mrs. Smithers swore she fully believed he meant to kill her. The Jury were, however, of a different opinion, and without any summing up, acquitted the prisoner. Mary Saunders was indicted for feloniously as saulting and stealing from the person of Joseph Drake, on the 4th of June last, on the King's high way, at Lambeth, a watch and other articles, his property. There was no defence. Verdict—Guilty. Sen tenced to transportation for years. Since the commencement of the assizes here, a prisoner, who was to have been tried for coining counterfeit shillings, has died in the county prison of the cholera ; the case is described as being one of the worst class. We are glad to see that the independent electors of Forfarshire will again return a decided reformer. Colonel OGILVY has declined standing for the representa tion of the county in Parliament, and consequently Mr. HALYBURTON will walk over the field.— Glasgow Chron.

TRADE IN BRISTLES.—In the year 1828, 1,748,921 lbs. of bristles were imported into England from Russia and Prussia, each of which cannot have weighed less than two grains. From this we may fairly conjec• ture that 13,431,713,280 bristles were imported in that year. As these are only taken from the top of the hog's back, each hog cannot be supposed to have supplied more than 7,680 bristles, which, reckoning each bristle' to weigh two grains, will be one pound. Thus in Russia and Prussia, in 1828, 1,748,921 hogs and boars were killed, to furnish the supply of England with bristles.— Penny Magazine. TALIACOTIAN OPERATION. GEORGE D OUGLA S, the man who underw ent the Talia cotian ope ration at St. Thomas's Hospital, was , on Friday, th e 27 t h of July, brought into the operating theatre, for the pur pose of having the twisted portion of the new nose divided. Eight weeks have now elapsed since the former operation was performed ; every part has completely cicatrised, an d his countenance is much improved in appearance from the operation. Mr. GREEN, after dividing the twisted inte gument, was obliged, owing to the luemorrhage that en sued, to secure two small vessels, and to place some amadou on the fres'a wound ; the sides and internal or posterior part of the new nose were cut and ingrafted into a fresh cut surface between and rather below the superciliary ridges, and retained in that situation by common sutures. Owing to the irritation which had been previously pro duced by the adhesive plaister, none was applied at this time. The vascularity of the part was remarked by Mr. GREEN, as much greater than doting the former opera tion. It was very remarkable, that during the time he was cutting the new nose, the man complained of expe riencing the pain in his forehead.—. London Medical and Surgical Journal.

But, although inconvenient as it might be, and unprepar e d as h e was from the • • which the Noble Duke had given on Monday, pared with the subject u p on w hi ch he had entered am c at such length in his speech, yet he could not allow those ob servations which the Duke had urged, as to the policy adopted by Mi n i s te rs respecting Portugal,.) to go entire' • without a nswer . N o b o dy f e l t more than he (Earl Grey) did for the inter es t s o f th a t country—no b ody felt more anxious than he was—not even the Noble Duke himself that the contest which was unhappily existing in Portu gal should be brought to a speedy and satisfactory conclu sion. His Majesty's Ministers were not accountable for the state of things which then existed; they had not been instrumental in what had taken place. When they cm into office they found th a t P r i nce upon t h e throne of ae Por tugal who had b een so o f ten c h aracter i sed as a usurper. They did not i n vit e hi m t o a seat on t h at throne. If there was a period when both justice and policy united in sanctioning the interference of this counts • with Portugal, g it was that p er i o d w h en Don Miguel assumed thethrone, and when th e Midst' Ministerwas withdrawn. Don Miguel had never been recognized by this country as the Sovereign of Portugal, whereas Donna Maria had re peatedly been acknowledged. She had been designated as " Her most faithful Majesty," as the Secretary of State's Office proved. When Ministers came into office they found some negotiations going on respecting Don Miguel, and, on the fulfilment of certain conditions, it would seem th it it was the intention of the Noble Duke to rec ignize him. The Duke of WELLINGTON was here understood as expressing dissent to the condition. Earl GREY said, the condition was, if an amnesty was granted. The Noble Earl then read this passage from the King's speech of November 2, 1830 :—" I leave not yet accredited my Ambassador to the Court of Lisbon' ; but the Portuguese Government having determined to perform a great act of justice and humanity by the grant of a general amnesty, I think that the time may shortly arrive when the interests of my subjects will demand a renewal of those relations which had so long existed between the two coun tries." It w as o b v i ous , cont i nue d t h e Noble Earl, from - that paragraph in the King's speech, that if the amnesty did not take place then, recognition would not follow. This he considered a condition, in the fair and usual mean ing of that word. But the amnesty was not granted, and the prisons were crowded with victims of as cruel acts of tyranny as ever were committed, lie regretted, as much as the Noble Duke could, the civil war which • now existed in Portugal. The Noble Duke had pronounced against the success of Don Pedro. If Don Pedro's military means were not strong enough for him to advance—if the people of the country were generally against him, as some persons in sisted they were, and in favour of the King de facto , and if the King de fa c t o h a d a power f u l armed force to act against Don P invader edro,—who m , by t h e way, t h e N oble Duke spoke of as an of a peaceful country, as if there was no. thing on that P r i nce ' s s id e to j ustify the interference_ if the army remained faithful to the King , i ln i d the p eo pl e did not assist Do n P e d ro , i t was vat would be the result. Kn ow i ng what cruel t tyr "e as what ex e rcised by the King w h o was now upon thetany w h n r o - a n was not surprising th a t th e peop l e should hesiner and not surprising that no gr ea t er d egree o f f ee li ra nad been manifested in favour of Don Pedro. NV" respect to the fleet which had been sent by Min's .a to the Tagus, he had but few observations to o fr. ( That fleet was not sent to act against the Kjsa de facto, but to protect the British subjects a. iineir commerce : and since what 1 -.-1 recently tr,a+Pired, Ministers thought it riA. , increase Data; was strictly this country to oh" - ' re n eutralit r e L-A ment ceased.--(Hear, hear.) It was impossible for any man to have acted with greater discretion than the British Admiral who commanded on that station. Nothing th it had been done could by possibility be construed into a viola tion of neutrality, as far as the conduct of the fleet was concerned. The Noble Duke bad complained that an En glish Nobleman, who was in a high official capacity, had been made a Brigadier-General of Portugal. Lord Wil liam Russell had merely the rank of Brigadier-General; he was not there in the capacity of one, and he had dis charged his duty, as every one who knew him would rea dily believe, with great credit and honour to himself, and advantage to his country.—(Hear.) But the Noble Duke had complained that he was armed with a power of peace or war. He bad no such power; but, in the case of cer tain events taking place, he had instructions to act. The Noble Duke had also complained of a vessel belonging to Admiral Sartorius's fleet hoisting the British colours. Well, what happened? Admiral Parker sent to him, and said it would not be permitted. If Don Pedro's vessels hoisted British colours, it was contrary to authority.—(Hear, hear.) He (Earl Grey) had detained their Lordships at greater length than he had anticipated when he had en tered the House, and certainly to great inconvenience to himself. He was inclined to say much more on the sub ject of Portugal, but he feared, from the situation in which be stood, he might transgress the bounds which his duty prescribed, it he allowed himself to be led away by his feelings. The Duke of WELLINGTON did not think the No ble Earl had any reason to complain of being taken by surprise on this question, as the Bill had been read a se cond time on Friday, and lie had given notice on the sub j=ect on the Monday following ; and still less had the Noble Earl reason to complain of his entering on our foreign and domestic policy, as the Noble Earl himself had on former occasions set the example. Respecting the state of the finances, as alluded to by the Noble Earl, he had only to say, that the Noble Earl has misunder stood what his object was. Ile did not blame the Noble Earl for not laying on additional taxes to make up the de ficiency. The deficiency certainly was not excessive, and he had great hopes that in future years the revenue would increase; but what be said was, that it was a circum stance unheard of in the finances of the country (and he would appeal to the Noble Viscount opposite for the fact) that there should be a deficiency of 1,263,0001. without any provision being made for making it good. There was no such instance, be would repeat, without the deficiency being supplied, either by loan or the issue of Exchequer Bills. Respecting the question of Portugal he was sorry that the Noble Earl should have cast any reflection on the Government to which he belonged on account of the course pursued by Don Miguel. The Noble Earl had said the Government to which he belonged was the cause of the usurpation, and they ought to have pre vented it. Now it was well known that Don Miguel was not brought to Portugal during the Ministry to which he belonged, but in the Ministry of the Noble Viscount op posite. It was true he (the Duke of Wellington) was in office when the usurpation was consummated ; but he must deny that the British army was in Portugal at the time, far the army was withdrawn before that event had taken place. It was true the Prince, previous to the withdrawal of the army, had purposed to dissolve the Chambers, and had shown indications not to carry into effect the Consti tution, but that part was not completed till the Cortes had been called in to decide, and then the British troops had been withdrawn. The late Ministry had, in his opinion, done their duty by recognising the other branch of the House of Braganza ; but, surely, it was not their duty to spend British money and blood in support of it. The Noble Lord had said the former Government were on the point of recognizing Don Miguel, on the condition of an amnesty being granted by that Prince. Now it would have been but fair in the Noble Lord to have stated fully what were the real circumstances of the ease. The Government had endeavoured first of all to reconcile the clahns of the two branches of the House of Braganza. They, accord ingly, despatched an agent to Brazil to ascertain the feel ings af Don Pedro, and from this they ascertained that he was willing to carry on war, but bad not the me ins. That being the case, it was the duty of Government to place Portugal again in the society of the other nations of Eu rope as soon as possible, and the way in which they pro posed to do so was this—to require him to pass an act of grace in favour of all those who had been engaged under the former Government of Portugal, and afterwards ac knowledge him as King of Portugal. But they did not for a moment suppose that this acknowledgment was to be viewed in the light of a condition which should bind Eog• land to see the amnesty carried into effect. Had that am. nesty been granted, the Government would certainly have recognised Don Miguel ; and every thing he had heard of since, in that country, made him anxious that that Prince should have been so recognised at the time to which he al luded : net because he doubted the right of the Princess to the throne, or because he wished to decide between the parties ; but because, by acknowledging the Prince who was de facto King ofPortugal,they would only be acting as other Governments had been in the habit of acting on similar occasions, and following the course most likely to be bene ficial to the peace, not only of Portugal, but of Europe ; and had he remained in office, be would most certainly have done it. Much had been said about the cruelties of the Prince and the hatred which was borne him by the people of Portugal; but these accounts were evidently incorrect, else how could lie, with such a pressure on his finances, keep up such a large army ? The Government had been, over and over, pressed to recognise the Princess as Sovereign, but how could they do that, when the Em peror of Brazil declared that he had not the means of carrying on a war for making good his daughter's claims. His position now was very different from what it was then. Indeed, the principal features of the case were changed. He was not now commanding the troops of his country, but at the head of bands or adventurers, for the purpose of dethroning a Monarch who had been elected by the Cortes, and who was supported by the affections of his people. He might say a great deal about the question of neutrality, but as he had no wish to sly any thing which might cause irritation, he would refrain for the present. This he would say, that he did not approve of the neutrality of the Noble Earl. He should not, however, enter on that now, and he hoped he should never have occasion. The Noble Earl had denied that the Admiral interfered in favour of Sartorius, and had completely satisfied him that neither the Government nor the Admiral had wished to infringe that neutrality on that point; but, at the same time, he must say that Sartorius had hoisted British co lours, and that could not be done without its effect on the people of Portugal. In some other parts the Noble Earl had misunderstood him. With regard to the transports and steam-boats, he had only to say that all iu the service of Don Pedro were English; and he would put the case, that Don Miguel's fleet should capture some of these ves sels, he would say that the British Admiral in that case would be found to interfere and protect British ships. That, in fact, was the general practice, and certainly would have been followed on this occasion had the belligerents been either French or American. The blockade too not a bona .fide blockade, as, notwithstanding the ships under Sartorius, a communication was constantly kept up between the Admiral outside and the General inside the harbour, and he believed it had been set at defiance by an American vessel. At all events, when a blockade was violated by one party, it was of no avail, according to the law of nations. He did not wish to detain their Lordships longer, but the points were too important to be passed over eithout some reply in explanation. Earl GREY said the Noble Duke bad misunderstood him when he supposed that the former Government had been blamed by him as the cause of the usurpation. All he had said was that Portugal bad remained in the state in which it was at the time of the present Ministers coining into office, and that they had taken part with neither of the parties ; though they would have been justified in doing so, inasmuch as Don Miguel had been sent over with a positive engagement not to usurp the title of his niece. The British Government no doubt had the right to oppose his usurpation, but that it would be wise or politic he would not contend. Respecting the British army being in Portugal at the time of the usurpation, it was enough ri i i e to say that D on Mi gue l' s conduct during the stay of the itsh which i i s h te a r d was been army was so indic a ti ve o f hi s future intentions, that the Bri sentinducedou out to i r t e h fi l l t s i e m front the payment countrynt of money rtes As to the British flog being hoisted in Sartoriu,'s fleet, he could only repeat that such an act had been don. .ory once, and if British sailors or soldiers shoo'-t engage in foreign service they would lose all et -'ere to our protection, eid should any of these lea -see -ured by Um Miguel they could have no right to e 'section, according to the law of nations. The Bill ti-•- 'nen read a third time, and paused. COURT OF CHANCERY. Th, L.ORD CHANCELLOR said that be rose, • ❑ ac cc, dance with th e p l e d ge he had given their Lordships, bring in a Bill f or t h e purpose of improsiog theo'tsto %ration of J ust i ce i n the Court of Chancery. It was %; his object to pass the Biit in the present session, but to get it read a first time, and have it printed, in order that those Noble Lords who took a particular interest in the question might have ample time and opportunity to con.. rider its provisions. The Bill he was now about pose contai ne d some of the principal provisions • • of topro. another Bill which he had formerly introduc d eto t h eir notice, net second was the effecting a very matedtlYt ceangranu regu lation of the Registration-ol'fice, by which also a con eiderable saving might be made ; and in the third place, it provided for a change in the Master's.office of a peat and important nature—a change to which, on former oc casions, he had directed the attention of that 'Luse. With respect to the savings, which were the least important part of the matter, he believed he might state their amount in the following way:—The saying in the Report-office would be about 4,0001. a-year ; the saving in the Re gistration-office would be about 14,0001, a-year ; and in the Mastee's-offiee, by the new arrangement, about 13,000. a- • I year. So that, upon these three alterations, lie hoped to be able to eifsct a saving of 31,000/. he repeated, were of These savings, however, a year. less importance than the great improvement which would be introduced by the changes tiemse especially itr that most important official branch of the e and its of Chancery, the Master's office. That change, its nature and effects, lie had before described—he had stated the grounds on which it Lad become necessary, and therefore he was relieved at the present moment from de. taming • • their Lordship with many observations on that int. One effect would be, to throw out of the Master's department that obnoxious branch of the system, the pay :nent of the Master by fees ; it would also entirely abolish that worst part of the system, the payment of copy money —a payment which gave an interest to those who b e . longed to that department needlessly, and indeed most vexatiously, to increase the expense to the suitors ; and it would abolish that which was even worse than need less and heavy fees—namely, the payment of gratuities, which had been engrafted on the system for a long series of years, and which had only not been questioned b ecause by long practice it had grown inveterate, These improve ments would, in his opinion, be found incalculably more important than the savings themselves; though by those s,,vings, he believed, more would be effacted for the pub lic advantage than could be obtained by any reduction of salaries in that department. He proposed to pay the Masters by salaries, instead of by the fees which they now received. There were other improvements in the Master's Office becides those which be had now men tioned. He should not, however, think it necessary to go into any statement relative to them at present. He should postpone dealing with the Six Clerks' Offices in this Bill. They could be more conveniently dealt with in another Bill, connected more directly with alte rations to which their Lordships and the other House of Parliament had already gisen their sanction. In addi tion to the measure he had already noticed, there was a most important change which he proposed to make in the constitution of the Court of Appeal from the decisions of the Court of Chancery. That Court of Appeal, he pro posed, .should consist of time three heads of the Court of Chancery, with the addition of the Lord Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer (which Court should be consoli d rated, so far as related to appeals, with the Court of Chancery), so that there should always be three Equity Judges sitting as a Court of Appeal, excluding time Judge from whose opinion the appeal was made. To that Court he proposed to direct the appeals which were now brought into the House of Lords. That, however, should be done, not peremptorily, but by way of election, so that the suitor might come to Parliament or to the Court of Appeal. If he carried his case before the Court of Appeal, tie should not then be al!uwed to come to the high Court of Parliament, unless there was a diversity of opinion among the Judges to whom he now proposed to refer the decision of appeals from the Courts of Equity. To these provisions he wished to add another, which, if their Lord ships did not now possess the power, would give it them, of having the benefit of the advice and assistance of the Equity Judges, as they had now the benefit of the advice and assistance of the Common Law Judges, whose presence as attendants upon that House their Lordships could com mand. He was aware that if the measure stopped here, though great improvements would have been effeete3, still that enough would not have been done ; for it was his fixed opinion, and one by which he was desirous to be un derstood that he should abide firmly, in spite of objections from quarters that were entitled to Hatch respect, and who were opposed to him on this point , that these great changes were absolutely necessary in the constitution o f th e flight office which ho unworthily bad the honour to hold. He was convinced that we could not much longer remain with that great, not to say gross or grievous, but certainly striking anomaly, that the highest Judge in the couatry— : a judge who might often he called tom to decide bete' , en the the ri6hts of the Crown it subject surd the Crowu i *O 7 (,A POPULAR NEW WORKS.
