DON PEDRO'S EXPEDITION. Official despatches have been received in town from the Government at Oporto, dated the 19th of August, at night, of a very encouraging nature. It appears, that after the arrival of the new General, Gaspar Teixeira, at the Miguelite head-quarters, a Council was held with General Santa Martha and the other officers, at which it was agreed not to make an attack upon Oporta, but to take up a position on the other side of the Vouga, which hey were going to cross. Official intelligence had been received at Oporto of the existence of a strong party of guerillas, in the interest of the Queen. They had attacked and dispersed a detach ment of 500 Miguelite militia, who were conveying a con voy of arms and ammunition to the head-quarters, which they captured. It was also stated authentically, that the two provinces of Ahrritejo and Algarves were in a state of agitation ap proaching to a general convulsion, and it was hourly ex pected they would declare against the Usurper, and in favour of the young Queen. The army of Don Pedro were in the highest spirits, and confident of final success. Great and incessant exertions are now making to secure to the naval forces of the Constitutionalists a decided su periority over Don Miguel's fleet. Not only has a French Indiaman of 1,200 tons, mounting 61 guns, been pur chased—which ves-el, being a two-decker, and regular line of-battle ship, will prove an overmatch to the crazy old Don Joao Vl.—but three of the richest houses of Bor deaux have tendered to the Portuguese Committee in Lon don 3 corvettes (or rather frigates) of 32 long 18-pounderQ, and 140 men each, payable in bonds or debentures, which are to be taken in payment for prize goods and ships cap tured by the fleet of Sartorius, and now under condemna tion, and for sale at Oporto. This is making war defray the expenses of war. Five thousand muskets, and vast quantities of shoes and army clothing, are now about to be shipped to Oporto from England ; and similar shipments, we are happy to learn, are preparing in various continental ports—viz., at Hamburg, Bre men, Antwerp, Havre, Nantz, Bordeaux, and Brest. Veteran Polish cavalry, commanded by their ow❑ officers, are enlisting in France, and will be mounted on the best English horses. In short, every thing indicates the speedy triumph of the Constitutional cause. Sartorius is universally admired for his indefatigable activity, energy, discretion, and wisdom. In the city, at least, justice is done to this gallant officer, though at the West and, some Tories may blame the course he has taken. Captain (now Vice-Admiral) Sartorius fought under the immortal Nel son, at the battle of Trafalgar, as a midshipman, and gained his subsequent promotion entirely by his personal merits, good conduct, and bravery, having no Parlia mentary or family connections. In 1828 he commanded the Galatea frigate, off Oporto ; and, after the failure of that expedition, he had the humanity to shelter and conceal several fugitive Constitutionalists on board his ships for months. On his return to England the Wel lington Administration had the had taste to put him on half-pay for such an act of truly British generosity. The cause of his being subsequently deprived of his commission by the present Whig Administration is still fresh in the recollection of our readers, having been mentioned by Sir James Graham during the last Session in the House of Commons.

We have received a copy of a very remarkable work, just published in Paris, entitled Lafayette, and the Re volution of 1830, by aM. B. Sarrans, who was La fayette's secretary. As its title suggests, it gives an en tire biography of the venerable General who has acted a distinguished part in three revolutions; but its chief in terest hinges on the details which it supplies on the part which he and his friends played in the last. Its nar rative of late events is so full, that it occupies the whole of the second volume, with a considerable part of the first, and so recent as to furnish us with the proceedings of the movement party during and after the Paris insur rection of last June. Its disclosures have therefore all the attractions of novelty, and, if authentic, will enable us better to judge of the feelings and views of existing persons and parties, than any contemporary work with which we are acquainted. M. Sarrans, attached to the person of Lafayette, whom be almost idolizes, was a witness of all the great events of the last revolution—was " a hero" himself of "the barri cades," was acquainted with the views and proceedings both of the party who achieved the popular victory against the Bourbons, and of that which turned it to the account of the present dynasty,—was present at many of the coun cils which took place during and after the contest—was in formed by his friend and patron of the resolutions which were formed, or of the speeches which were made, at meetings to which he was not admitted ; and, in short, may almost be regarded as the memoir writer of the vene rable revolutionist, telling all that the latter knows of re cent events, instead of being only his biographer. Adopting zetlously the views and opinions of Lafayette, Sarrans distributes praise or blame on the actors in the late revolution according as they supported or opposed the projects of his patron. Were Lafayette, or any of his distinguished friends on whose knowledge and veracity we could rely, to " set his seal" to the truth of this sin gular work, we should reckon it one of the greatest ac cessions to contemporary French history which has vet appeared. We say this without having been able to 'de tect our author in any positive misrepresentations, but merely because we have learnt generally to distrust French party writers, especially of the extreme movement ; and because this work is written with such undisguised pas sion, or such heated zeal, as totally to deprive it, in all appearance, of the character of an impartial narrative. M. Sarrans enters largely into the transactions which took place among the Deputies during the three " glorious days" of the insurrection. He describes the meetings which they held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (the 27th, 28th, and 29th of July),—the steps which they proposed to take,—the resolutions which they ac tually took,—and the motives and reasons of each. Even before the Bourbon Guards had been driven from the ca pital, and before either party bad a revolutionary crown to bestow, the diverging views of the two parties opposed to the despotic ordinances of Charles X. had manifested themselves. The one party, who had established their bead-quarters at the Hotel de Ville, on the 29th, and who had really hoisted the revolutionary flag, were for a repub- Jic,...-the other, which met at the house of Laffitte, anti which consisted of most of the liberal deputies in town, was either for treating with the Bourbons, or inviting the bake of Orleans to accept of the crown. M. Sarrans belongs to that class of politicians who do not think a re public impossible in France, and his narrative confirms a fact which we remember was reported at that time, but which was imagined too absurd to be true—that a procla mation had been drawn up, announcing the forsoation of a republic, with Lafayette as President. The account given by our author of the correspondence between M. Laffitte and the Duke of Orleans (now Louis Philippe) during the last of " the glorious days "—of the means which Laffitte employed to induce his Royal High ness to accept of the Crown,—and of the final interview in the Palais Royal, at which he consented, is extremely i'siteresting, and in some respects new, or but little known. On Wednesday, M. Oudart, the private secretary of the Duchess pf Orleans, carried a message from Laffitte to the Duke to beware of the " nets of St. Cloud." His Royal Highness slept, Lberefore, that night in a concealed kiosk in his park at Neuilly, On Thursday, when the Bourbon farces were defeated, a message was sent to his Royal Ifighne4s, telling him, " he must choose between a crown and a passport." He did not choose the passport, but curse to Paris on Friday night, when his friends stole a march on the party of the Hotel de Ville, and proposed a proclamation, in which be was called to the office of Lieutenant-General of the kingdom. It was on Saturday morning that his consent was given to accept of the office, and M. Sarrans states, that he was induced to come to such a decision—by whom? Why, by Prince Talleyrand, Times. Mr. CHARLES A. DEANE, who has vo]un. teered to explore the wreck of the Royal George, is de scended from Sir ANTHONY DEANE, who, in 1663, im proved the building of the 60 and 70 gun ships, and whose son (the great great grandfather of the present ex perimentalist), in 1669, was sent to Moscow, to assist PvrgE. the Great in the construction of a navy, and from whom tome interesting communications will be found in Pepy's Memoirs, vol. xi. Mr. DEANE, on Monday last, descended in 11A- fathoms water, to inspect the Royal George; he alighted on her, and immediately slung a gun, but the purchase in his vessel (the Albion) was not sufficient to hoist her up ; be then cleared a fisherman's cable, the stone which had been used for an anchor having got down what Mr. DEANE conjectured to be the main hatchway. It having blown too hard on Tuesday and Werintsday to enable him to do any thing, Mr. D. pro ceeded to Cowes, and in the presence of several distin guished visitors there, descended, and brought up two baskets of stoocs„in.l other articles, to show the facility witht b vitifoll le 'an manage himself under water. On _Thursday he unbent a cutter's cable from her anchor, let her adrift, and brought ffer anchor from the bottom of his ' own vessel.

The King of HOLLAND has not yet sent an answer to the last Note of the Conference, but his Ambassador here states that his Royal Master accepts twenty-one out of the twenty four Articles of the Treaty of the Conference, and is willing to negotiate for the other three. The Belgian Sovereign, however, refuses to negotiate except on the basis of the preliminary evacuation of Antwerp, and on this point the King of HOLLAND has hitherto refused to yield. His next communication, however, will decide the course which the Conference are to pursue. Despatches were received last night by the Portuguese Ambassador from Oporto, dated the 19th inst. They confirm the statement which has been given of the continued enthusiasm of the constitutional troops in favour of the cause in which they are engaged, and the great exer tions of the EMPEROR in fortifying Oporto and preparing the means of successful resistance in the event of an attack by the troops of Doii IVIIGUEL. It appears, however, that the cou rage and skill of the constitutionalists are not likely to be put to the test by an attack upon Oporto, for the new General appointed by MI GUEL had held a council, at which it was de termined not to follow up the plan of the former General in this respect, the forces being unequal to the attempt, and a retrograde movement was ordered. It was intimated that as soon as rein• forcements should arrive, an attack would be made ; but this was considered a mere boast. The Marquis of PALNIELLA will return to Oporto to-morrow, accompanied by the Chevalier de BARBOZA, the Secretary of the Legation here, but who has been appointed Under-Secre tary of State by the Portuguese Regency. M. de BARBOZA is a gentleman of high character for talent and respectability, and has great expe rience as a diplomatist. The Marquis of PAL NIELLA returns to Oporto well satisfied with the assurances of goodwill that he has received from the British Government. Again we revert to the question of Poland ; and again and again will we revert to it, and ring it, like an alarm bell, in the ears of the public, till our Whig Ministers think fit to vin dicate the rights of humanity, and take some prompt, decisive steps on the subject. As for remonstrance, it is a perfect farce ; as well might one remonstrate with an east wind for breathing too roughly upon us, as with a monster like NICHOLAS, who laughs all treaties to scorn, and by whom the ordinary ties of humanity that bind man to man are set at open defiance. This wretch daily improves in his ingenuity in inventing and perpetrating new atrocities. His talents, in this respect, would do credit to the old Spanish inquisition. Plain murder—. rape—and massacre, are far too tame and com mon-place for his refined capacity. He has be come fastidious in his taste, and must stamp his crimes with the most perfect originality, so that all men, on hearing them, may be enabled to say, " these are of the true NICHOLAS school; no other tyrant now in existence has either the head to conceive, or the heart to execute them." We had thought the annals of tyranny, by this time, pretty nearly exhausted, but whatever limits there may be to Imperial virtue, there are none, it seems, to Imperial enormity. For what is the Emperor of RUSSIA'S latest act? Why, neither more nor less than a plan to subdue Poland by de cimating her population, and striking at the first instinct of natute by tearing children from their parents' arms, and driving the houseless heart broken little wretches, like a herd of cattle, to Siberia, careless whether they live or die upon the road. " The escort," say the German Papers received by this day's post, " often leaves behind the children who are too exhausted to proceed, and sets by them bread for three days, as the convoy cannot be detained. Persons returning from Siberia have seen on the road numbers of little human corpses crouched together near the bread which the poor things were unable to eat." Oh ! NERo, what were thy atrocities compared to these ? Oh ! Timoun, what was thy pyramid of human skulls, bleached by the winds of Asia, com pared to this pile of " little human corpses,'' for every one of which a happy home was made desolate, for every one of which a mother's heart was broken ? Yet the fiend who commands and chuckles over these atro cities, actually fancies himself a miracle of piety and justice, insults Heaven by a Te Deum, and prays " every night for the King of ENG LAND !" Out upon such sickening cant! It is really less disgraceful to the fool who utters it, than to the fools who believe it. We call upon Government—upon our liberal Whig Government, many of whom were in old times the sworn friends of KOSClUSKO—prompt ly, boldly to come forward, and redeem human nature from the stigma which the acts of NICHO LAS are daily and hourly casting upon it. We call upon them to fling remonstrance to the winds, and compel the CZAR, even at the hazard of a war, to elevate himself to the ordinary level of humanity. Often, too often, have we rushed headlong into war upon points of mere official etiquette ; and shall we now shrink from doing so, in a case in which all Ole best and dearest interests of humanity are involved ? For the honour of the British cha racter, we hope not. THE PRESENT STATE OF POLAND. (From the Brunswick German National Journal.) CONTINUATION. It is true, indeed, that the ukase of the Monarch speaks only of orphans, but according to the Russian definition, an orphan is, Ist, one who has no father, though he pos sesses property; 2dly, one, both whose parents are still living, but are not rich, unless the father has the rank of an officer, or holds a civil employment of Arhatever class it may be. In order to discover the orphans in this sense of , he word, the Russian authorities took the following course. District commissioners of circles in the provinces called upon all those who need assistance for the support of their children to appear before them, and inscribe their names. A great number of indigent and distressed per sons stated to these authorities the number of their chil dren. Taking these lists for guides the officers took away their children, under the pretext that the Emperor was pleased to fulfil the wish of the parents, and to extend his protection to their children. The privates and subalterns of the veterans had all their sons taken from them ; and those fathers who opposed this measure were put in chains, and delivered to the tribunals to be punished for insubor dination. It must here be observed that the veterans in the capital are all quite poor; the man has his balanceof pay and his quarters, and his wife employs herself in washing; both have honest employment, and send their children to school. It happened. that a subaltern officer who lived in the su burbs, and possessed a small house and freedom, had his son taken from him. The petition which he addressed to Prince Paskewitsch was answered with a refusal. The distressed parents having then implored him on their knees, and shed tears, to restore their son, he answered, " You have a small property, but the Emperor has a mil lion times as much, he will, therefore, be able to give your son a better education." On the 18th of May, boys who went about to sell sand, matches, flowers, and small wares, and the like, were taken up in the streets of Warsaw. Each of those boys was in the class of the boys wandering in the streets. The boys thustaken up were delivered over to the police, and then sent to the Alexander's barracks, where they had their heads shaved, soldiers' cloaks put on them, and then driven to Russia. As far as to the frontiers of the kingdom they rode in waggons, but after that they had to walk. An eye-witness states that of the first four hundred and fifty-six children, scarcely one hundred sand fifteen reached Bobrojuk ; the remainder had either erished on the road, or had been left in the Russian hospitals ; only the elder ones had arrived at Robrojok, but they were in a desperate condition, full of vermin, and their heads covered with a contagious corruption, so that it was necessary to put them all in the hospitals of that town. We must not omit to observe that the children of their description are of great use to their parents in War saw. The father generally gains something with his axe or his saw ; the mother goes out to washing, c h ar i ng, garden work. &c. The child while little remains at home, and when it grows bigger goes to certain fixed h ouses with sand, &c., by which it may easily gain two Polish florins (about one shilling) daily. In this manner accus ti ming himself to work, the boy grows up to be a strong day labourer, or an honest pedlar. On the 19th of May all the boys were taken from the parochial schools, then those from the schools of the !raja sienaries, as well as from the district schools. From the corps of cadets at Kalisch, only the poor chil dren have been taken from the others. The order to remove the children from the villages of the count' y, which is already so depopulated, has caused a loss which is very sensibly felt. In the but of the agricultural labourer the grown-up children used to take care of the younger ones, to feed the cattle, and to carry their meals to their parents working in the fields ; and it may, therefore, be said with truth, that in Poland there are no orphans, for the peasant brings up, supports, and clothes the orphans like his own children with out distinction, as he derives advantage from both. As counts have already been received of insurrections of the peasants, who, in consequence of this measure fly into the woods and arm themselves with axes, because fire-arms are prohibited in the whole country. All this is nothing compared with the dragging many of the children of both sexes from the provinces of Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and the Ukraine; their clothing is not thought of; the greater part of the victims driven to the interior of Rus sia die of misery, hunger, and fatigue, especially if there are steppes to be passed. With every convoy of poor chil dren, there are only some kilbkas for the provisions ; and the smallest with whom the waggons are so crowded, that in case one of them falls sick, no means remain but to kill it or to abandon it in the steppes. Those mothers who would not leave the children, carry in compassion two or three of the littleones, but they, too, are unable to afford them sufficient relief. The escort often leaves behind the chil dren who are too exhausted to proceed, and sets by them bread for three days, as the convoy cannot be detained. Persons returning from Siberia have seen on the road num bers of little human corpses crouched together near the bread which the poor things were unable to eat. Some times it happens that a succeeding convoy of exiled Polish children picks up by the way those that it finds alive. The Polish heroes, loaded with chains, have been seen to carry on their backs the little ones so found. When the convoy passes through parts where the Jews are allowed to live, the Cossacks and Barkkirs sell the poor children to them, when their mothers are not present. Many of them they give away to the Russian peasants, as the object is thereby also obt ,fined. For nights' lodgings for those convoys what are called clapy, are prepared at distances of 20 to 25 miles, in the steppes. This is a hut and cartshed, surrounded by a ditch palisade, with a cossack sentinel. The prisoners and children sent to Siberia are driven into the cartshed and the yard, without changing the straw on which they lie, which may at least be compared to chaff, and swarms with vermin. In those nests of contagion, many children die during the night, and the others carry away with them the germs of disease. (To be continued.) —Allgenzeine Zeitung, Aug% 22, and Supplement. Two Parliamentary papers have been pub lished, one containing the Constitutional Char ter of the Kingdom of Poland as given by the Emperor ALEXANDER on the 27th November, 1815, which concludes with the following re mark of the AUTOCRAT:-- " Believing in our conscience that the present Consti tutional Charter answers to our paternal views, which have for their object the preservation among all classes of our subjects of the kingdom of Poland of peace, concord and union, which are so necessary to their well-being, and the consolidation of that happiness which we desire to procure for them ; we have given and give to them the present Constitutional Charter, which we adopt for ourselves and our successors: we enjoin moreover all the public authorities to contribute to its execution. " Given in our Royal Palace of Warsaw, the 15 (27th) November, 1815. (Signed) " ALEXANDER." The other paper is a copy of the memorable Manifesto of the 26th February, 1832, and of the organic statute to which it refers, concluding with an extract of a de spatch from Lord HEYTESBURY, in which his Lordship very properly says, that " the new organization" is, in point of fact, a new Constitution ! So much for the conscience of the successor of ALEXANDER ! If we have room to-morrow we shall publish these authentic documents, which have already appeared in an imperfect state. An express has been received this morning from Paris, bringing the papers of Monday, and also private letters. The papers contain very little news of political interest. They mention that a secret treaty between France and Belgium has been positively entered into during the stay of King LEOPOLD at Compiegne, by which France promises to assist King LEOPOLD with an army of 100,000 men, should Holland at tempt an invasion. This news had created some sensation on the Bourse. A change of Ministry will certainly take place before the Chambers assemble, and a new creation of Peers will follow. The constant conferences between the ambassadors of Spain, Austria, and Russia, have excited the attention of Marshal SOULT, as some foul intrigues are, no doubt, upon the tapis. The latest intelligence received from Oporto is up to the 22d. At that time Don PEDRO was strongly intrenched in the environs of that city. A large supply of corn had arrived from France, and the troops were in excellent spirits, as a strong reinforcement was daily ex pected from Brest, principally composed of Poles, who will form the cavalry, large con tracts for horses having been entered into in the Lemousin for that purpose. Admiral SARTORIUS'S squadron was off the Bar, and the troops of the Usurper had retreated on the road to Aviero. Private letters from Madrid mention, that the most abominable intrigues were carried on between CALOMARDE and the Apostolic party to overthrow the Count D'AL CUDIA, whose system of non-interference with Portugal in favour of Don MIGUEL has given much displeasure to the Austrian Ambassador and the Princess de BEIRA ; and it was gene rally feared that their influence would predominate over the weak-minded FERDINAND, as he has secretly expressed himself desirous of assisting his nephew, were it not that it might involve him in war with England and France. It was rumoured at Madrid that a movement had taken place in Catalonia in favour of the Con stitutional cause, and that a constant correspon dence was kept up with the refugees in France. Paris continued perfectly tranquil, and the cholera was daily decreasing. The funds were pretty steady. A number of Polish officers were recruiting for Don PEDRO. The Constitutionnel enters into a long inquiry into the state of Ireland, from which it draws the following conclusions : " Ist, That Ireland cannot separate itself from England by violence; 2d, That a separation would be prejudicial to the development of its civilisation and riches; 3d, That it is not the interest of England to possess it as a colony, but to admit it as amintegral part of herself to a partici pation in all social advantages ; and, 4th, That it is by progressively removing the evils originating in its former vicious system of gov ernment t h at the l o t of the inhabitants will be ameliorated. The principal causes of these ev il s i t states to be the agglomeration of the territorial property in the exclusive possession of a few pat r i c i an families, and corporations , and in mortmazn, the over increase of a po pulation which no longer bears a j ust proport i on to the means of labour and subsistence, the deficiency in the ca pital necessary for the development of an agriculture greatly in arrear, and finally, th e enorm i ty o f t h e ecclesi astical taxes weighing down a population which, poor in i tse lf, thus finds itself compelled not only to provide for the hierarchy of its own religion, but to supply food to the luxury and opulence of the clergy of another faith.

It is not unnatural for men to feel angry with one who has thwarted plans long cherished, and defeated the cause of friends, long advocated ; but continually to decry the conduct, and im• pugn the motives of the party who has so mortified us, although his mind may be so en dowed, and his character may stand so high, as to compel us to say, " we admire his talents, and are proud of him as a fellow-countryman," would augur a degree of weakness which would draw down upon us the ridicule of our opponents and the pity of our friends. Such, however, is the conduct of the Morning Post, and such is the testimony it is compelled to bear to a character, the splendour of which one would think would set calumny at defiance. But light is lost upon the blind ; they may indeed, so to speak, feel its brilliancy through their darkened orbs, but the sensation will be one of pain, and all benefit of its useful properties is lost to them. The Post of this morning has a long article devoted to proving—God bless the mark—that the LORD CHANCELLOR is actuated solely by a love of patronage in desiring to keep up the Court of Review, and merge in it the Insolvent Debtors' Court, which, the Post says, will be useless in a year, because an Act will be passed to do away with Imprisonment for Debt. We heartily hope that such an Act may be passed, and thus leave the Insolvent Debtors' Court free. We will suppose it to be so, and that is placing the question on the best footing for our contemporary's argu ment. All that the CHANCELLOR says is, " There is an instrument already in existence, which I think may be turned to a useful pur pose." The Post says that the Court must die, and the Judges be pensioned off; but Lord BROUGHAM wishes to try whether they may not be made useful. If it should turn out at the end of a year or so that they cannot, why then it will be time enough to pen sion them for doing nothing. But, says our contemporary, the VICE-CHANCELLOR could do the duties of the Court of Review, which thus might be abolished as well as the Insolvent Debtors' Court, did not the LORD CHAN CELLOR desire to keep the patronage of the two Courts, which, as he will be CHANCEL LOR for life, must pass through his hands. We put aside the experience we have had of the dealings of the Court of Chancery with bank ruptcy business—we put aside all argument founded upon character and gentlemanly feeling, and come at once to what our contemporary better understands,—the pounds, shillings, and pence of the question. The Court of Review affords patronage, the Post says, to the extent of 12,0001. per annum. The Judges of the Insolvent Debtors' Court do not, we believe, receive amongst them 6,0001. per annum. This makes, we will say, 18,0001. per annum ; but as the Judges of the Court of Review are all, we believe, younger, certainly none of them much older, than the CHANCELLOR, it is very unlikely that any considerable portion of this patronage will fall vacant during his lifetime. Let us now look to the other side of the account. The patronge which Lord BROUGHAM'S last Bill will abolish in the Court of Chancery amounts to upwards of 31,0001., most of it held by men older than himself, so that there would be every pro bability of his having ere long to dispose of it amongst his friends. This is independent of some offices, now actually vacant, worth 3,0001. or 4,0001. per annum, which are filled pro tempore by the CHANCELLOR'S brother, and upon resigning which he is to receive no pen sion. These are facts which are sufficient to satisfy any parties not as fond of running their heads against stone walls as our contem porary, that the charge against the CHANCEL LOR, of being actuated by a love of patronage, is ridiculous, is absurd. Perhaps the time may not be far distant when the Post will have good reason to be assured that the CHANCELLOR'S conduct is influenced by far higher motives than fall within the contemplation of a writer whose whole life has been spent in glossing over cor ruption, and defending the purity of a Govern ment resting upon patronage. There are those amongst our contemporaries who have the great happiness of knowing so little about the matters upon which they write, that they are utterly unconscious of defeat. Their arguments are continually refuted ; but they, nevertheless, persist in bringing them forward, as if nothing had ever been said in answer to them, The advertisers of quack medicines are every day exposed, but every day they sound forth the praises of their nostrums, and verily, by thus much speaking, continually find some few who, being as simple as said quacks are knavish, are taken in by them. Far be it from us to impute any thing but ignorance to our indefatigable friend the Morning Herald, who six times in the week tires us with a dozen such sentences as this—" We think that it may easily be shown that those na tions or states which have entered into commer cial treaties with us—which are by our modern theorists improperly termed reciproeal—have taken advantage of the want of protection which ought to have been strictly preserved to our na tive interest in those disgraceful treaties which entirely shut out British shipping from a fair competition with theirs." It is utterly impossible that the writer of the above, which is to be found in the city article of this day's Herald, can ever have read the treaties he speaks of so familiarly. What were the treaties intended to effect, and what have the y effected ? We w ere arrangementi we per suadedh feoir r formerly in the habi t of char g in g forei g n vessels much higher dues upon ent r a n ce into our ports t i h l a n is wwe foreigners aa very v ge r d y an u do p vt o at n no t our ag e o own, u whilst h charge s our lshipsst in ports higher duties than they did th e i r own . us, and we did right in maintaining it as long as we could ; but when foreigners began to see that we derived as much benefit frurn trading with them as they did from trading with us, they naturally thought these discriminating duties on our part unfair. Several of the Northern Powers threatened if they were not re moved, to place discriminating duties upon our vessels in their ports. If, under these circumstances, we had foolishly resolved to abide by our discriminating duties, no doubt advantageous as long as we co uld exclusively maintain them, and suffered foreign ers, as we must have done, to impose discrimi nating duties upon our ships in their ports, it is clear, that even if they had been no higher than those which we levied upon them, we should have been losers, because the number of our ships entering their ports was greater than the number of their ships entering our ports. We therefore entered into treaties with them by which it was mutually agreed not to levy discriminating duties. These are the reciprocity treaties our contemporary makes so great an outcry about ; and their operation is now so well understood, that when some simple gentleman, whose read ing does not extend beyond the Herald, parrots forth its rant in the House of Commons, the majority of the Members laugh, or, if the honest man promises to be long, quietly walk up to BELLAMY'S to dine, or otherwise profitably dispose of themselves. All we entreat of our contemporary is to read the treaties he is so in the habit of abusing, for we can assure him that, strange as he may think it, there really is some truth in SWIFT'S observation in the Tale of a Tub, that a man writes the better upon a subject for understanding it. The following are extracts from Brussels Papers of the 26th : BRUSSELS, Avc. 28.—The deputation from the ma gistrates of Ghent had an audience of their Majesties yesterday. Princess Bagrathion arrived yesterday at the Hotel de Belle Vue, with a suite of seventeen persons, and arrived at the palace of Laekin. - The Government has received news of the arrival of Baron de Loie at Vienna. Ile had not yet had an audience of the Emperor. A cou r:er from Vienna brought to the office of Foreign Affairs a letter from the Emperor of Austria, i❑ answer to that written to him by King Leopold. M. de Muelenaire im mediately waited on his Majesty. Two English Cabinet messengers, sent this week with despatches for the Hague, could not pass the frontiers. One has returned to Brus sels—the other took the way of Louvain, :Vannes, and Aix la Chapelle, to enter Holland on that side. Viscount M. Vilani XIV. set out yesterday for Rome, as Envoy Ex traordinary to the Holy See. General Romana has been extremely ill, and for four days the physicians suffered nobody to have access to him. We learn to-day that he is much better. The contingent of the Province of Bruges to the levy of 30,000 men, ar rived in that city on the 24th.—Brussels Papers, August 26. FUNERAL OF THE REV. DR. ADAM CLARKE.-(THIS DAY ) This morning the remains of this eminent and celebrat ed Divine were committed to their kindred dust. At twelve o'clock, notwithstanding the wetness of the day, a very large congregation had assembled in the City-road Chapel, to witness the faneral. A little before one the body arrived, accompanied by the deceased's two sons, and other relatives, as mourners. At the door of tke cha pel, it was received by the Rev. Mr. Entwisel, and all the other ministers in the metropolis belonging to the de nomination of Christians called Methodists. The former Rev. Gentleman read the service for the dead in a very impressive manner, and afterwards delivered a short but very appropriate address, in the course of which he stated that he had been honoured with the friendship of the de ceased for upwards of 45 years. The body was then carried to the grave which was prepared for it. It was intended that he should have been buried in the vault, alongside of the great founder of the sect, the Rev. John Wesley ; but the Board of Health interdicted that, no persons who die of cholera being all nved to be put in vaults. The Rev. Doctor was in his 73d year. THE MARKETS.-(TIIIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

FALMOUTH, MONDAY MORNING, SEVEN o'cr.ocK.—The Elizabeth, Lieutenant Scorr, arrived last night from Vera Cruz and the Havannah ; she left the former place on the 14th of July, and the latter on the Ist of August. Vera Cruz was in a very disturbed state. General SANTA ANNA had been out to meet the Deputies from the Government, but could not succeed in coming to any definite arrangement, and had re turned back to Vera Cruz the day the packet left. The un settled state of affairs prevented the merchants at Mexico from sending home their remittances, and about 2,000,000 of dollars are now ready to be sent home as soon as they can be conveyed in safety to Vera Cruz. Tampico had declared for SANTA ANNA, and an expedi tion had been forwarded to take possession of Sato la Marina: the result was unknown when the packet left. Although General SANTA ANNA was a great favourite, it was not expected he could stand out much longer, but would be obliged to yield to the terms offered him. All was quiet at the Havannah, and the new Governor, RICAFORTE, was very much liked. The Elizabeth brought several passengers, but no freight. The Hermes has just made signal for sailing to Oporto and Lisbon. There are several passengers going out in her connected with the houses in the wine trade. It was generally reported that the Marquis of PALDIELLA Don PEDRO, which will be would arrive at Falmouth in time to sail in the Hermes, nhn w pao ra h os mn i cd c e eu h lw 0 produced brought B p d l nl to c wßyee novelty o G s l h t tnh ye dispatches eaTawn l n e H f tph t E iaa e o Act c n ceef T pieces, B,o l r sa i mvi e ioE which THEATRE.-- Mr s passed s.nedt.

The company was previously possessed of a Columbine sufficiently known, Mrs. SEARLE. The Pantomime of The Harle quin Silver Penny has been selected as the medium of this host of tWent, of agillity, and drollery ; but it mat ters little about the name of the piece, their appearance is sufficient to warrant approbation. A gentleman who has recently travelled in Spain, in the country formerly the scene of WELLING TON'S glory, describes the cities of Salamanca and Ciudad Rodrigo as not at all improved since the English troops left in 1813 ; on the contrary they have retrograded; these towns and their vicinities are filled with wretchedness, poverty, and much discontent. The present summer is remarkably hot, and the harvest is very productive. With regard to Portugal, he describes the inhabitants as most indifferent as to the result of the present contest between PEDRO and Micuar.; in general they are in favour of des-. potisiq.

GENTLEMEN, BEING called upon to announce my de termination of offering myself as a CANDIDATE for the EASTERN DIVISION of your County, I can no longer refrain from publicly expressing the deep sense of obligation which I feel to the whole body of its Con stituency. I shill always remember with gratitude the firm and patriotic support with which you honoured me in the Contest of IS3O, and which was freely and independently resumed at the Election of the subsequent year. I venture to claitn no merit in having anxiously endea voured to discharge my duty ; and whether it be my lot to continue a Public Servant of my Country, or to retire into the privacy of domestic life, my feelings of esteem and attachment towards the Freeholders of Surrey will ever remain undiminished, and the utmost extent of my limited services will continue as constantly at their disposal. With heartfelt wishes for your individual and collective prosperity, I have the honour to he, Gentlemen, Your obliged Friend and faithful Servant, JOHN IVATT BRISCOE. CO THE ELECTORS OF 'THE EASTERN DIVI SION OF THE COUNTY OF SURREY. GENTLEI\IE:;, IN presenting myself as a Candidate for your suffrages at the ensuing election, I am satisfied that no fresh declaration of political principles, and no renewed professions of service, will avail if those I have previously made remain unfulfilled. But believing , from the unvaried testimonies I have received, that my humble endeavours h ive been rewarded by your approbation, I appeal to my past conduct as the best pledge of my future efforts to promote your local interests, and to assist in advancing the national welfare. Permit me to assure you that, having no private ends to serve, nor party politics to uphold, it shall be my inces sant aim, if again returned by you to Parliament, faith fully to act up to the spirit of those promises which have twice obtained for me the distinguished honour of being one of your Representatives. I remain, Gentlemen, with the highest respect, Your obedient and humble servant, JOHN IVATT BRISCOE. Edwatd-street, Portman-square, 28th August, 1832. DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. New 5 per Cent.
