Dr. BOWRISG moved for a return, for the latest period to which it can be mile ap, of the establishments of-the Excise, in the same form and under the same heads as that prin•ed by the Glmmission• rs of Excise Inquiry in their Twentieth Report, Appendix 12. Agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS' TAXATION OF COSTS BILL On the order of the day being read for receiving the report on this Bill, An Host. ME3IBETt begged to move that the amend ments be agreed to. The amendments were accordingly agreed to, and the inii was ordered to be read a third time on Friday next. CONSTRUCTION OF RAILWAY BRIDGES. Sir G. CLERK drew attention to a statement alluded to by the Hon. Member tor Nottineham, that Mr. Locke, C.E., had written a letter to the Earl of Dalhousie, re presenting that railway bridges were constructed of such dimensions as to render them unsafe for the pur poses of public conveyance, and recommending that they should be made according to certain estimates enclosed in that letter. This was signed by other parties. He had discovered that such a 1 ;ter was written on the 30th April, 1846, but it had r,ference to crossing roads , an d not to bridges over waters. Mr. GISBORNE explained that his informatio th n at w h a e s collected from a paragraph in a public print, and had stated so at the time to the House. THE AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL. Mr. HUME said that, in rising to make the motion of which be had given notice to the Heusi-, he could . assure them that he had seldom risen in his place i n the. House to do what he considered a duty so unpleasant to him self; because he was about to complain of the Government measures as dangerous in every way to the British con stitution—measures which, if he could read them aright, were likely to lead to consequences most disastrous, not only to this country, but to the whole civilised world. He considered it valuable to maintain those principles upon which the British constitution was founded. They owed the liberties they possessed to the stipulations made between the people and the Sovereign, and by them they were enabled, after a long interval, to settle among themselves what were the laws under which the United Kingdom should be ruled. The So vereign of this day owed much to these resolutions of 1688, and had any Sovereign of Europe in those days ventured to take the part which the British Government had taken with regard to Portugal, where would he have been ?—(Hear.) In short, instead of taking ten or twelve days, an ordinary member would have col lected all the evidence in four-and-twenty hours; the matter of real importance would go into a very small num ber of pages. He considered that they had lost a great deal of time, and although it might be desirable to know what effect their proceedings would have, yet the news of the day showed how fatal had been their interference. It cast a stain upon the honour of the country. He objected to the principle of armed interterence, and he also objected to the manner in which it was done. While Parliament was sitting the Ministers ought to have come down and asked the consent of the country. He would, therefore, move, " That, in the judgment of this House, the armed interference of this Government between political parties in Portugal is unwarrantable in principle, and likely to lead to serious and mischievous consequences." And they had a precedent fur such a resolution in the year 182 t, when there was a triparte t-eaty, and when they , were bound to furnish troops for Portugal. During the time of Mr. Canning, the Cabinet showed its respect to the House of Commons, and the import ance with which it viewed the subject before it. What took piece on that occasi n? On Friday, the 9th of the month, the news arrived that en invaeion had taken place. On the following day a Cabinet Council was h e ld , an d a resolut i on was com e to to afford the country that assistance which it sought. end crt Monday it was resoaed to send a message t that effect to the House of Commons. A debate took place on the receipt of the message from the Cabieet ; and Mr. Canning on that occasion stated that they were called upon to interfere in the internal affairs of that country, and that unless there was a treaty existing be tween the two countries to that effect, he should be the first to refuse it, and the conduct of the Government upon that occasion did it much credit. In the other House Lerd Bathurst concurred entirely in this view. Thus was passed an interference very untiocessarily. It did prove to be very serviceable to Portugal in the event, but it ought to be remerked that England interfered under a treats-, and in order to preserve good faith which he (Mr. Hume) preferred at a sacrifice, which could only be telt for a short tune, but a bad eteample continued in its ill effects. On this occasion he did think England was setting a bad example. Mr. Canning, on the oceasien he had referred to, on the 12th Dec., 1826, deprecated on all occesions intermeddling with the internal affairs of any other Government. But if that interference was wrong then, what could he say for the interference on this occasion? Spain ba I not invaded Portugal; France had not— there had been no invasion. He was aware that civil war had continued in that country for a number ofmonths, and the contending parties had not been able to errarge a settlement. On that subject, however, he could never enter without recollecting the origin of that war, and he could not speak of this without complaining of Vie negotiations of this country with Portugal, lie did not, in saying this, refer to the Noble Lord in the Foreign-office, for he had looked over the dispatches up to the sth April last, and there was not ono dispatch of Lord Palmerston's in which he dirt not most entirely concur. He found the Noble Lord continually, on every application, repulsing the idea of an armed interventi on . Before showing w h at had led to this result, he thought be might be allowed to state what had taken place from the beginning, and what that unfortunate country had been subjected to. He thought that the violation by the Queen of Portugal of the charter had roused the people of that country into resistance. The only demand that had been made by the English:Government was, that tne Queen of Portugal should distills; from her councils those evil councillors who had advised her to depart from the principles of the charter. He thought that that charter was established in the reign of John the Sixth ; it was overturned three or four times, but it was subsequently restored. It was for the violation of that charter, that the people were now In arms, and if they did not resist that infringe ment of these liberties, he thought that they would be hooted by all the liberal and en lightened nations of Europe. He would ask whether such a proceeding should be sanctioned by this country. Lord Howard de Walden, in his dispatch, after stating that the changes which had taken place had surprised everybody. sad that the change in the Government had been effected in the manner of a milt tary revolution, and he thole} t it had been caused by the election of the Duke of Palmella being douutiul. He further sap, " r( lt bi is a i n will exp „ eted now (says Sahlanha ) rhat the Q' teel e 3 plem keep toe country in a state of general tranquillity. and that the suppres sion of all the newspapers, excepting those of the Government, will aid thi; purpe.e. But still, con • sidering the smell military ter: e; of the Gov rmor, and t!-,e facility with which the soldiery can be gait:. b over by ..very party, I. eonterapla.e the ice ore sigh gti-iv enitiety." Now, I most trimbh, the House with another Quotation. I will net read it, but it is " a list of the unfortunate betties who are to be removed," as being odious to that party. Now 1 ask the Rouse is it prepared to sanction any act of the Ministry that wilt upheld that Government, whose first act was the violation If the charter? He would now refer to an imp ,runt p iper a high gave the stipulations of the charter, and, with the pertni , -itin of the Foils.. he would state a few vieletiens of the eh irter w:.ich Pete:alit& h ill carried out iii Portugal, with perlict satisfaction to tie whole Court. But he thouir. tit neces, , ar) to state first that in the whole of these papers it was assumed to be necessary that they should depress the popular party as much as possible, and they had brought forward an absurd allegation that the Miguelites were the party to be dreaded in this in spite of the state ments of the English Minister for Forign Affairs. But the Miguelites bud now united with the national party. Theso violations had eeen card• d out to such an extent that the whole country was in disorder. The Hon. Member then read further extracts:, proving the unconstitutional proceedings of the Court of Portugal. The people had been prepared by a series of acts of in justice from the Government, salted, ned by the Crown, to take the first opportunity of resisting them. He had seen a person that day who was one of those who wire among the arrests. He might say, indeed, that the acts of the Government had been nothing but arrests, imprisonment, dismissal, and transportation, and all without the semblance sif law, without an appearance of right—in fact upon no other ground than the simple will of the Minister of Justice of the day. He had seen a gentleman that day who was one of 700 political prisoners who bad been heaped together in a prison not properly capable of containing one-half of the.number—who was one of those who escaped on the 29th of April, when the disturbances at Lisbon opened all the prison doors. True it was that he escaped, but seventy or eighty were butchered in the streets by the politic, although they were quietly returning to their homes without arms in their hands. If Hon. Illembrs who had not read those papers would follow him, he would be enabled to make it clear to them, that every_ liberty \ and privilege of - a free country and udipeliesdhed beethi violated. In the 19th article of the edge and r code juries serue we l r i e . ord . ered to be indeendent there had been a vi v o l ra ac e t e ioio c f iv t i h i inl cases, .removing these judges from at as a c r r t i i tu cle ma place and dismissing them. He might say th at such toctalogues of cruelties had been heaped upon each indi vidual, that it would tire the House were he to du more than ?t e hi u : l ee to press had t here. The pro tection which weft set forth ou a n d stitution was not been put down, granted. The liberty of the and no newspaper was allowed to be printed except under the ealictio n of the Government; and curious that the N o bl e L or d should have inserted ii . n r these papers a number of extr acts from the Government papers, as if 'lettiber. , >f Parl iament had not the sense to prisoners Ridge '0 what an article in a common new spaper Was, heiiiii were carried off without con v i ct i on, T ' witli ;thert tri.d ' end locked up w i th ppt char w' ,an d w• • fekus: of the worst description. So much for the Government which they had undertaken to protect. He would pass over other matters of minor importance, The chief of the police had tne entire control and ..w domination in the country; no man could live , wove, or hail) his being with out him. Liberty of the press was abolished. In article- 25 the secrecy of let: i re was declared Inviolable, yet Mr. Hume had s' en many butt vi , fuels whose litters had been opened, and yet they were call , d upon to interfere and pre5,.....• the people, who had been driv. n to desperation, from obtaining their just and undeniable 4 . 4 E - w,, J ,744 d flights. The Q seen had eseablished h erse lf di c t a t res e, - 'lan old to the working- of every court and Vit -- -- - : - ?"ffirrhei in- the country. Site had also appointed 4,/.7--- ~---___. --.

The principle which the English Government had laid down appeared to him a most dan gerous one, and one which was capable of the most se rious and injurious application. lie therefore made the motion of which he had given notice, although with deep regret, for he felt that the occasion for such a motion was One which - could not be productive of anything but danger to this country and injustice to others.—(Hsar.) Mr. OSBORNE seconded the motion. Lord HARRY VANE then rose, but in consequence of the confusion prevailing in the House he was for a short time inaudible. His Hon. Friend had quoted the dispatches of different agents of the Government in behalf of the principle which he advocated—that interfe rence of the present description was unjustifiable. He (Lord Harry Vane) admitted that the general principle ought to be that of non inti rvention, but there were cases of exception, unzler certain circum stances, which clearly mode some interference necessary. The diplomatic agents had, in their representations to their respective Governments, objected to all interfe rence, and it was not, till it was signified that France and Spain would interfere, that it was considered ri g ht the British Government iould assent to the principle of intervention. Had the insurgents been allowed to proceed unchecked, there could be no doubt that they would, in a short time, have undermined the throne of Donna Maria, and, perhaps, seated Don Miguel upon its ruins. The consequence of this would be, that Spain would have been obliged to cross the frontier, and et tempt to restore the monarchy to its rightful possessor. This would necessarily have led to the interference of France ; and from the dispatches of M. Guizot there is no doubt but measures would be taken by France, in conjunction with Spain, to put down the pretensions of the new usurper to the throne. He thought, therefore, that under those circumstances the British Govern ment was called upon to take the steps which it did, and thereby prevent the evils which would have inevitably taken place had she remained quiescent. No doubt the Administration of the Qtr. en of Portugal bad been very arbitrary, and had been guilty of acts which made it liable to the greatest censure ; but this could not justify the extreme measures which had been resorted to by the Junta for the purpose of redressing them. He admitted the Queen bad violated the constitution, and that if she had attempted to govern through the means of a fair representation of the people, the scenes which had occurred would not have taken place. He thought, however, if the British Government had not interfered, Portugal would have been overrun by a Spanish army, and far greater evils than those which now existed would have been the result. He answered, if they had not interfered they would have have been obliged to send an army to put an end to the far worse state of things which would have resulted in the event of the interference having been left to Spain. Now, he did not think that this, which would have been a matter of necessity on the part of the British Go vernment, wonld have met the approval of the Hon. Member for Maidstone. —(Hear, hear.) He was of opinion, therefore, that a complete case of justification was made out. It was impossible that a great nation like that of England, should not interfere in order to protect her own interests. Under these circumstances, he should give his decided opposition to the measure.— (Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord thin resumed his seat. A pause then ensued for some minutes. Loud cries for Lord Palmerston succeeded, but the Noble Lord did not respond to the call. A curious scene then occurred. Mr. B. ESCO I'T loudly called " Question, question." After an interval of some minutes, in which the cries of " Withdraw " and " Divide " alternated, thus failing of its object in calling up the Noble Lord, Mr. B. ESCOTT drew the attention of the House to the fact that strangers were in the gallery. The gallery was then cleared, but in a few moments the press were re-admitted. Mr. M. MILNES rose to support the policy of the Government. He contended that it was not only right but necessary that Great Britain should interfere, and he trusted that when she did so, it would always be in. a way befitting her dignity. It eas not to be expected that a country such as Portugal eould of itself—so young in all the constii u.ional principles of Government, and in the necessary experience, speedily eff-et those ob jects to which reference had been made. In Nov., 1846, The Palmella Administration was suspended by what was called the Ultra-Tory party, and which finally established the Marquis of Saldanha in the Councils of the Crown of Portugal. If they looked at the course of events which led to that result, they would discover nothing but one issue of illegal acts and unconstitutional proceedings which could not in England be enacted. He found that Mr. Bulwer, in a conversation with Count Thomar, advocated the non-introduction of foreign powers in the affairs of Spain. Count Thomar, however, took another view of it, and evinced a strong feeling on the part of the Spanish Government to interfere, and Mr. Bulwer wrote to Lord Palmerston that it would be impossible to avoid interference. In the meantime, Sir H. Seymour used every means which were in his power to moderate the asperities of the contend ing parties. The Honourable Gentleman quoted another dispatch to that effect. He was sure that it would be admitted by the Hon. Member that every effort had been used to end hostilities without force ; but all failed, every effort was vain, and what remained? Nothing but an armed intervention remained, and now it became an important consideration with every country, and this country, how they would act in case of an armed intervention. (The Hon. Gentleman then quoted a dispatch from Baron Munhausen, stating by authority, that the French King had announced his good disposition to the Queen's cause, and asking Eng land also to interfere.) Now he said they were come to the crisis when England had to consider whether she would interfere in the affairs of Portugal, and to what extent she would do so. Then came the dispatch of the sth of April, a dispatch whieh he believed was, under the circumstances, the best policy. That dispatch set forth those very principles which had been advocated by the Hon. Member for Montrose. The Noble Lord set forth the broad grounds on which be based his interference. The interference of England was introduced on principles which in no way discouraged the expression of the popular opinion, and the result intended was to restore all to their former position in the kingdom. Propositions contained in that dispatch were laid before the Junta, who expressed themselves highly satisfied with them. Terms at length were of fered on the part of' the Government, treaties were being negociae d until an ultimatum was offered, supported by an armed force in case of refusal. The Junta, at the unhappy moment, was, he believed, over awed by „various parties and considerations. This appeared by a dispatch from -Colonel Wylde. What would be the effect of giving sway to the violence of the impetuous national character? Why, it would have been most injurious, and he th 'ught that Colonel Wylde had acted perfectly right. It app-eared from the public journals that the Conde das Antas was in reality a prisoner in the hands of the British Government—(flear, heir.) Conde das Antes and the troops under him were conquered, but as brave men might be by the force of overwhelming numbers. Fur Conde das Antes, or any other person, to suppose that this country should go and make a formal declaration of war he considered '.bsurd. H. thought on the entire that they hof a right to congra tulate themselves upon the conclusion at which they had arrived. He thought the Notele Lord was called up to do all he could to secure for Portugal constitutional liberty. All that could be done by the English Go' verntnent should be done for those brave men in Por tugal who were endeavouring to maintain inviolate the constitutional liberty, and he trusted that the Crown of Portugal might be taught—if Crowns could be taught lessons —not to attempt to invade the liberties of the people. Lord W. POWLETT said that he thought that Govern ment might have intertered to protect the Queen, but should not have gone further. Mr. WARBURTON said that the opinion of Sir Thomas Monroe on the interference of this country in India was so applicable to the present question, that he would bi g leave to read what he stated in a letter to the Secretary of the India House, who produced it when under examination before a Committee of the House. The Honourable Member here read an extract from the eoeument in question, which strongly deprecated the interference of a foreign power in the affairs of India, as it was calculated to sustain oppression on the part of the Sovereign, and to suppress all efforts for liberty on the part of the people. The Hon. Member also read extracts from some letters of Mr. John Mills, who asserted that foreign interference had the effect of supporting despotism, and engendering a tutilage on the part of native Princes, who, from a custom of de pending upon foreign assistance, would naturally be en feebled. As a man that wets accustomed to go on crutches would never be able to use his limbs perfectly. Mr. H. BAILLIE said that he did not attach much importance to the delay of these papers, because he knew that that habit of delay was an old failing on the part of the Noble Lord opposite ; for as long ago as 1841 he found that great complaints were made of the delay of papers in the affairs of Portugal. The question for them that night, was not the infringement of the charter, but the right of a foreign power to interfere in the in ternal affairs of a foreign country, when that country was not threatened with aggression by a foreign foe ; and he should like to ask the Noble Lord if their former interferences with other countries bad redounded to the credit of the British arms—from interferences which he could not designate by any other name than unjust and impolitic interferences ; and however anxious he might be to ascertain the opinions of the Noble Lord (Palmerston), he should feel it his duty, in the ales, nee of that experience, to illustrate his own opinion by reference to the history of other interferences ; and, fur this purpose, he should not go further back than the origin of the late di! turbances in Portugal. What had their interference with the affairs of Portugal got for the people of this country while Miguel was de /two the King of Portugal? They had a commercial treaty, which was liberal to this country, but they chose to interferein behalf of Don Pedro, and after a bloody struggle, Don Miguel was driven out of the country. What had they gained? Nothing. Their commercial relations with that country were in a worse state than before. What had their in terference with Spain done them? They found Spain in a state of civil anarchy, and they thought, improperly thought, that they were called on to interfere. They proposed to raise a large body of men in this country to assist •in the warfare of that country ; these men to be commanded by able British officers. What was the result ? Late events had shown them. Spain had truckled to Louis Philippe, and En o g r l t a u n g d a is . former services were f orgo tt en . A n d now they were again prepared to i n t er f ere i n t h e af f a i rs o f Portugal, despite their former experience. They were again pre • pared to embroil themselves in the civil warfare of Con tinental Europe.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that this course would ; not 'receive the sanction or ap probation of that House ; he trusted that steps would not be taken which would prevent them reced ti4gatecrt w iththeu honour,vonnotttse,y twouldh e p a . n o d r..p without tteoog fnite thist h i c o t s us principle and irnyc: pnl n h n e ell. hoped fully triteivention with forsivi ontuitis you gbitaalir urkithult sad dways alarmed many individuals who were disposed in her favour. He would not weary the House with . a detail of the a ty: l r d ae w n h ie a s t ct w im as tni ul tt , 7 . l 4t ; t d a i x sg es ra h c a e d fu tee t n he le ) ate h d ad wi s t e h n o t ut , l ) a re w r , in SP a th n e i h c obuonndstry s a i r m id ila w r h t i , c , h tho w, le which hi had been pe,,p e leti sl , elitg ,sup peso gave the holder a claim upon the Government. And this was the Government they were called upon to support. It was of importance for him to adduce autho rities to show the real state of the ct4estion. He (l r. Hume) recollected the time when Lord is rey, and when the Noble Lord, now at the head of the G office on the express understanding th ao ey d s a h b o o u ve ld a b ll e , Government, e t n h t, )e obtained would friendlyatt end t o to three reform, that their Government should stand in a position of non advocatesimportant of points—thatemy, ono interference in the affairs of other foreign countries. Lord J. RUSSELL—Peace. ; peace between foreign countri e s. He Mr. m U w. i ! i dr l e l a l d —Ye the sentiments s of Earl Grey, and leave the Noble Lord to speak for himself, fie said, if they wished to be at peace with other countries they must maintain the principle of non-interference, because any departure from i such a course wou ld in evitably lead them into war; and, further, that every Englishman must rejoice that Louis Philippe had been placed on the throne of France. Earl Grey made one of these expressions when they had expelled Charles 111. ; but he was not guilty of one twentieth part of the conduct of which the Queen of Portugal had been guilty.—(Loud cheers.) And if infatuation had ever possessed any man, it surely had possessed Phi lippe—(flear)—he who owed his crown to the barri cades—(lmmense cheering)—he who, but for the Duke of Wellington, would not have been placed upon the throne of France, because the Holy Alliance were against him, and the Duke of Wellington was the man who acknowledged the power of the people, for he would not allow any in terference of this kind ; and he believed no man was alive at that moment who took a more determined and popular part than the Duke of Well:14;ton, because he supported the claims of Louis Philippe when the revolution took place to France, and was it not miraculous that the man who was so careful of his own interests as Louis Philippe should be a party to a measure of this kind, and his ex cuse was, that France and Spain were going to do something. What had they done ? Let the House hear, for it appeared to him that they had done nothing—could any man of common sense believe that the man of whom Earl Grey spoke in these eulogistic terms would have so acted ; and what were the Englishmen doing? But here are the Portuguese ten times worse in their Government, and led on in their opposition by the most virtuous men in the nation. After making inquiries, and satisfying himself in reference to their character, he repeated that ne believed them the most virtuous men in the nation , . Some of the papers he saw called them " Chartists ; ' where they have got the name he knew not, or what they mean by it ; bat if anything disreputable was in tended, he must say that they were men possessed of a character which commanded the confidence of the people, and was it not painful to see the flag of England flutter• ing over the supp:ession of a movement led on by men like these. The Noble Lord said peace, Lurd Grey s lid nothing about that. Lord Grey, in the case of France, approved the ready recognition of the new Go vernment, and applauded the might which had been allowed to the voice of the people, in a matter of this kind, and hoped that the ready recognition of the new Government, would tend to a good understanding be • tween the two nations, as the foundation of peace. Lord Grey when in office, being asked a question of the same kind said, he had but to repeat then what he had -aid when out of office. As for peace, he (Mr Hume) could not answer for the consequences wnich would follow. Perhaps tne Government might think that atter taking Conde Das Antes and his two thousand men prisoners they had obtained th; it object. They were further from it than ever. C. , u1,1 they persevere ? Tney must keep a British army in Portugal to support an infarn els Government.—(Herr, hear, and cheers.) Was that the only authority en the subject ? Why, the Duke of Wellington, in .1833, on this very question, moved, " that an address be presented to his Majesty, praying that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to give such direcions as would lead to the English troops preserving a strict neutrality in the affairs of Portugal." And then the Noble Duke gave Lord Sioweli's definition of neutrality, namely, that " netvralitv meant not giving succour to either side." Lord Stowell also said, that interference should not take place without a notice or Cl,Clartitloll of war." Had they dime that ? No ; quite the contrary. A paper had certainly been sent; but by did not Sir George Hamilton find a party to ensure its arrival in time ? The General who commanded the troops in Portugal did not believe that they would run the risk they had done. They had a firm belief that justice would result from the interference of England, and that such an act of injustice would not be perpetrated. And he must say that a stain had 11. en c +at on this c iuntry which would never be removed. Now, lest there should be any doubt on the subject, he shoull read a question that had been asked of Earl Grey. That Noble Lord was asked, whether they were perfectly safe ? He had not het seen the order under which these proceedings were taking place. But Earl Grey said, we sent Admiral Parker to the Tagus, with orders to observe the strict est neutrality. On the Ist of June, Admiral Parker was told by the Admiralty that, under all the circum stances, he was to observe the strictest neutralit). " Why was it that England, in 1833, had acted such a just and honest part, and in 1847 had acted In a manner directly opposite. He believed that if they had sent 5,000 men from England, and excluded Spain altogether, that the Portuguese would have submitted as to a stronger power; but if Hon. Members had heard, as he had done, the expressions of annnosity that had been heard on the frontiers of Spain, they would have some conception of the bitter animosity that existed be tw.en them Bolder feuds were nothing to it. An Honourable Member near him, said that Louis Philippe we; concerned in this. He believed himself that Louis Philippe was at the bottom of it.—(Laughter.) Mr. Sutheron, in his letter, had stated that there was, on the part of the people. every desire to make peace, but that taxation hail been greatly increased, and that rates were levied to make new roads, while there was not in all Portugal a road fit for any continued use. External commerce had been kept away by a system of high duties, and an inquisitorial system which was carried on against the masters of merchant vessels. There had teen the abolition of trial by _ jury, and many other inflictions upon the people in comple contravention of the articles 16, 17, and 18, in the treaty of 1842. 13" the abolition of the right of trial by jury the eub jects of her most faithful Nitijesty were placed at the dispos.il of the executive, and such an executive.-- (Hear.) Mr. Bulwer, in his letter, gave it as his opinion, that interference was most objectionable, he alluded to his le ter so late as on the 29th of Qctete r last, when hearing that a party of troops were moving down, he wrote to inquire as to the truth 01 the report. He would also quote the opinion of a public officer, Mr. Sotheron, who, writing so late as the 19,11 of December last, says, that interference is oojectienable, and that it pro. due, s more evil than good,teal that it was ..ap,dly giving a ted.,, , nal colour to the pr , sent contest. He said that no Han. M..ieber who hail r: a I them- docu asents coul,l tail to be ~t option but the) h.ol added to he eeac, of the civil war widen had broken out, and that they had increast.d the thfficulttes of the country • and it appeared to hi m t h at t h ey would find much more .difficulty In settli ng t h e affairs of the country than they ttnagin. d. He should tint, he fear* d, discharge his duty it he made any excvption of the Noble Lord the Member ft.r Tiverton (L .rd Pamerston)—(Hear, hear, nd latiehter)—hecaa se intended t o r ea d several of his etrer, and thus, as it •i ere, to make him speak for him sel*. (The Hon. G• httetnan then read a di,ptrch, dated the 29th of Novianner, stattn4 that ev, ry opportueicy ought to be t dire advantage of to impress the Portu guese Government with the desirability of entering into some arnica: , le arrangement with the discon• tented parts of the country, for the pur pose of putting an end to the insurrec tion. It went on to say that the English Go vernment saw with regret that a great proportion of the people of Portugal were in insurrection, and that it was advisable that steps should be taken when it was once suppressed from allowing it to break out again). What was to prevent it from bursting out again?— (Hear, hear.) It went on to say, that the practical question then was, whether the Queen could consistently with her dignity and Crown, consent to an arrange ment satisfactory to the nation, and which could put an end to the insurrection. That was a very wise considera tion. — The dispatch went on to say, that the fleet should abstain from taking any other part in this civil war than that of a friendly power. The Hon. Gentleman then read the dispatch from Lord Palmerston of the 4th of January, and a dispatch from Mr. Sotheron on the 10th of January f rom Li s b on, stating that the prisons were full of members of . the best families. Many persons of high rank had already been imprisoned upon the very slightest grounds: 'He had probably failed in stating what he intended to state—the causes of complaint upon the part of the people. There was one ground which he had forgotten, namely, that the con stitution by which the Queen derived her power from the people, enacted that the Cortes alone sh ou ld regu l ate and prevent the introduction of foreign land and sea forces into the country. And yet the British Govern ment supported Donna Maria, in violation of that con stitution.—(Hear, hear.) There was another act of vio lence' which he forg tto state. On the 3d of N , vember the following decree was passed, namely, that all ecclesi• astics, or laity, or officers arrested with arms in.their hands, should be immediately shot—three of the officers of the troops arresting them to form a court-martial, to hear them verbally, and the execution of the sentence to depend upon the will of the chief commanding officers. This was in order, as the proclamation stated, to keep the country as much as possible from the horrors of a civil war. Many of the officers taken pri 'oilers had been sent e) Africa, to the most unhealthy settlement there, and sent out in such a manner as to call forth the re monstrances of the captain of the ship which conveyed ii o r n h . e xt h e u m m b ri e n r ity th . e i n t them. One captain was superseded, and another t Foreignap pointed, merely for having, in that case, made an appeal the re Government.—([Tear, ovetrrotennet.l7nc4ttlhe,al.ll', paper from The conatractiou of the tre e a x t the -o ffiC t e t;e d n ai a ed .

Government who might have chosen to ad dress the House on this subject, but having been unsuccesstul in this endeavour, (although he cer tainly expected that some of the Lords of the Treasury, who were as mute as they were distinguished, would have been put forward,) he was forced to content himself with the explanation given by the two Hon. Members who had spoken on the side of the Government. Had the Hon. Member for Pontefract not appeared to the rescue ; had he not illustrated in his own person the advantages of intervention, the " red box" would have been in considerable danger, for a division would pro- bably have been in danger, and the Ministers we mid evidently be in a minority tie considered that the Hon. Member for Pontefract had drain on his poeti cal invention—(Laughter)—when he said that a young country required schooling in constitutional government. There was only one way by which they could explaite this. If they only allowed one person to tell his story continually from morning till night every clay for a twelvemonth. that person would in the end become their master. On no other principle could he account for the otherwise unaccountable conduct of the Noble Lord the Secretary clinging l t i i ngin o in 1845 because of h g f to a Cabinet whi c h he refused capacities of the p resent Secretary for Foreign Affairs. It might be said th a t t hi s inter vention was a great scheme for the improve ment of Portugal, but if it could be shown that this intervention, so far from pacifying Portugal, was laying the seeds of a general European war. en dangering the existence of Portugal, and upholding anarchy and despotic principles ; he maintained that every Member of that House who preferred liberal principles was called upon to support the motion of the Fon. Gentleman, the Member for Montr ose . Wh at induced the Noble Lord, on the 25th of M a y, t o arr i ve at He was unabl e to account for it by the of reasoning. The re certa i n l y were at the ordinary time whispers about mysteriousinfluences, b u t noimport icnoanryclursuiloens ? noimport ance was attached to them, and he could not believe that the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, suffered himself to be influenced by them. The only conclusion, therefore, he could bring himself to arrive at after an attentive perusal of these papers was, that the Noble Lord was averse to the whole proceeding. The Noble Lord must have been out-voted in the Cabinet. Now it was necessary in coming to this debate that they should have a definite meaningof the word" intervention." He believed he was right in saying that the term was modern, and he could not, he thought, put the subject on a better footing than by reading the definition of the word " intervention," given by a statesman of great influence and experience. Here was the definition. The term " interve noon" he defined to be, " the principle that every nation has the right of managing its own internal affairs, and regulating its in ternal policy so long as it does not injure its neighbour; and no nation has the right to control by force of arms the appointment of its Govenwents or rulers." That was the definition of the Noble Lord the present Secre tary for Foreign Affairs on June the Ist, 1829; and, therefore, he felt bound to ask the Noble Lord who ought not, he thought, to retain his seat with such pertinacious obstinacy. why, if in June 1829 he held this principle to be sacred, how was it that he now violated it in his own person, and outraged the liberties of Europe by his own proceedings?—(Hear, hear.) I; was well to remark that all this intervention bad been done secretly, and the greatest fuss had been made it. that House about the production of the papers relating to it.—(Hear, hear.) Why, at the very moment when the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose wa pressing the Government for them, the protocol was actually published in Paris.—(Hear, hear.) In readings these papers, and examining all these transactions, he was most forcibly struck with the astute conduct at Louis Philippe. That great genius did not appear in these transtietiens to the extent of the part he had taken it: them. Whenever there was any dirty work to be done, Louis Philippe, like a second Mephistophiles. urged on the Noble Lord, who was at the hese of the Foreign Department, and the time would come when he would reap all the advantage of the intervene tion, while the Noble Lord would have to bear the whole odium of the precseding.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon, Member for Montrose had told them that the Queen of Portugal sareificed her Crown, and broke her oath when s he sought for the intervention of a foreign power. Th• Noble Lord readily re- ponded to the call, but how dos f vent was the course pursued by Mr. Canning in 1826. when the intervention of this country was aught the s by Portugal. That great statesman would not allow & single British soldier to embark until the concurrence of the Portuguese Legislature had been obtained to the In 1847, however, the Noble Lord sets. aside all charters and treaties, and only loaking to ae absolute monarchy, paying no regard to constitutioea liberty, he did not wait to ask a single question, bu actually put the army in possession of the Junta, befor. the Cortes had taken any consideration of the subject.-- (Hear, hear.) It was not very difficult to discover Irate the contents of the blue book, the real object of the. Court of Portugal since October 1846. Its whole object had been foreign intervention. That was distinctly to he traced from the very beginning of the ceunter-revolution and the military " wove " executed under the auspice: of the Court itself.—(Hear, hear.) They had heard a great deal which did not appear in the blue book ; be: are Hon. Gentlemen really aware of what Costa Cabral': administration was ? Costa Cabral, like many others, commenced his career as a furious Liberal, but. the mo ment he got into power he became the patron of abso lute monarchy. Teey had some instances of this, though on a humbler scale, on that side of the House. They had some Gentlemen who had been very loud its opposition, but became very quiet in office. Now, by the intrigues of Cabral the charter of 1826 was got rid oi, because there were articles in that charter which pre vented him from carrying out his designs, and substi tuted in its stead the charter of 1838. Not content with that, however, his first act, under this new char ter, was to appoint his brother Jose Cebral to be Mi niter of Public Duties. He then took to levying taxes without the consent of the Cortes—he imprisenee psople without trial—and, at last, he took a policy, which on all occasions, and at all times, had pro yoked the resistance of the people.—(Hear, hear.) He began by levying two taxes, one upon salt, and the other upon burials, a tax of 10s. was leviec upon the friends of every person who was buried, and this gave rise to the insurrection, in the provinces. Tn. minister was then dismissed, and the Duke Falwell., was seta for, who was indented to accept office, but or the 6th of October he was desired to sign his own des missal. At first he hesitated doing so, but he was tole: he must consider himself a prisoner, and arse e having being confined one night in the palace. he signed the decree of his own dismissal. The di, missal was brought about by the King Consort, who ha( taken the army under his control ; and when the corn mending officers would not bend to hie will, he substi tuted creatures of his own in their place. He offered Das Antes, a Marquasa if he would tske part in th counter-revolution, belt that di> tinguished man refuse, the bribe, and he (Mr. Osborne) was sum • had the Honourable Member for Pontefrat b een as celebrated for war as he was fen: verse, he would have followed the same course.—(Heae and laughter.) When Cabral was disposed of—to use common English phrase—he wes kicked up stairs. Th• Queen wade him court:er, and sent him to Madrid, where he had concocted the whole of this scheme .4 foreign intervention, which had brought eternal disgrac.. upon the British name.—(llear.) At that moment Gahm. ruled Portugal ; at that moment he ruled this country. and he (Mr. (..).horne) believed that, however well-in tentioued the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreig.. D•-partinent might be in his interference, the Nob:e Lord, in this instance, had been caught napping. The Noble Lord, in fact, was nothing more than a chile: in the leading strings of Costa Cabral and Louis Philippe, Although she was waited upon by the wives and daugh ters of those who bad suffered in her royal father's cause, she sent these prisoners to a convict ship, ADO from thence to a penal colony. What was the conduc of Mr. Sotheron? he remonstrated with the Government, although without any orders from his own Government; but what did they do? they lied to him.—(Hear, hear.) Yes, there should be speaking out. They said that they would send those prisoners of Torres Vedras to Madeira. and was this now the Government whom they were about to bolster up? Could any one believe that the Que•-n, starting with the prestige of royalty, and a peed and disciplined army, that she should be driven into a corner, relying for her protection upon the British fleet in the Tagus. unless the voice of the people was unani mously raised to hurl her from her throne, he must say that the appointm en t of the gallant officer, Colonei Wylde, was most injudicious. They said that they only appointed him in order to give a military opinion, but it was a very curious circumstance that throughout the whole of the discussion and the reports not one of those military opinions was hazarded. He - did not suit the views, however, of the Noble Lord, and his commis sion was recalled in consequence, as it was alleged o: his having spoken disparagingly of the Marquis De Sal danha's troops, let them remember that. This was only the statement of the Marquis, for Colonel Wylde deniee having given any offence to the Marshal Saldanha, al theugh he found him forging his name. He wont' quote several p assages to prove that Colonel Wylde was sent in any character but that of a military one; tee was rather sent as a mediator, and if he came from the Foreign.office, he would leave it to the Reuse, it we most injudicious to send a person like Colonel Wylde who was a most gallant cfficer, but who was so muci: connected with the Court, to get information about tie army He was not the person to be ietrusted with the management of those affairs, and he ehould like to have seen one of the Noble Lord's dispatches reproving bite. for exceeding the bounds of his authority, when he threatened the Marquis Se da Moldier*, Viet it should be suceessful, he should have to meet the Britis: troeps. ‘Vhat rieht, he should like to know, had he to Lake the name of the- Queen and the people of England in vain he protested against such conduct, he protest. d agates it being even tat: tly approved of by the Minister, a. there was no appearance that he had been rep: toed to. it. It appealed that the Queen had broken throng:. every oath, and it was impossible to rely upon what he , Ministers would say. But as soon as sir Hamiltor. Seymour appeared, the whole scene changed. All th. dispatches assumed the character of rese water. Tee Queen went out and attended the woun led. He was sent out in order to make a case for the Ceurt. Th Nob:e Lord was very much mistaken if he, thought that M. Guizet or Louis Philippe would ti esught in a blue book—(Laughter)—and he certaini , thought that h e cou ld not make out hi s cas e, through them. Now he considered that it was necessary, in sue: a crisis as the present, to speak out the whole truth, ane in his opinion, Sir Hamilton Sc) mour exceeded his at:. thority, for they were only bound to guarantee the lit of the_Queeni and. .not her throne; but he had guy ranted the throne and in this he overstepped th IMArlarivaof hie (Sty: Emory 0119 knew , THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVINING% .11.1,44 E l2, lBl . that there Wag no treaty which guaranteed more than the protection or the throne in eases .4 f , reigri in vents' ; fait they had no i , g h t to tided.t'!• e oti too wishes 01 ;i.e p eple.

Canting had maintained this doctrine, and so di , .7 Mr. P. el in 1829 ; , and he hoped that the Right Honourable Baronet would be prepared - in 1847 to support that view. The Noble Lord (Palmerston) t elievi d that the quadruple alliance was atan end, and it was not even pre. tended that this convention was made in conformity with that treaty. He did not know then what to call this new arrangement, and he hoped the Noble Lord would get up in a s. , ort time and explain uncle: what treaty or understanding this pretecol wits issued. lie th.might it th. re was air cotetionional feeling in France, the people .if that c , uiiiry would demand from Louis Philipoe the cause • f tits iu ft ingement of the Liberties of Eurepe. He aoul : ask this House and the country, what they tied gained by :hese conventions that had been lately entered into ? —(Hear.) The NoLle Lord might ask, what he (Mr. Osborne) would have done under the circumstances ? He would reply that he would have given inetrucriens to the British representative in I'‘ , rtuga4 to communicate to Spain, that on the very first soldier that would cross b) the frontier into Portugal, a British army would be directly sent there to eppese them —(H ar.) The Go vernment organ had to night intimated that the whole affair was settled—that the policy was triumphant. Ho would ask the Noble Lord to get up and tell them how the the atfeirs of Portugal were settled. They were not , settled.—(Hear, hear.) They had done more to unsettle them, and to disturb monarchical ptinciple in Europe than any Government that ever preceded them.—(i tear, hear.) What guarantee had they that the same scenes would not occur again in the space of three months. The speech of the Noble Lord in 1429 went counter to almost every Act which he had authorised since, and ; %tit speech was made on the affairs of Portugal, and was administered as a rebuke to the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel). He would. in conclusion, ask him to get up now, and say, as he said then, that he was defending the cause of liberty from the banks of the Tagus to the shores of the Bosphorus.—(Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I was anxious that the earliest possible day should be given to the Hon. Member for Montrose that he might have an opportunity of bringing his resolution before the House, condemning the course which the Government is pursuing with respect to the affairs of Portugal; but, Sir, after hearing his speech, and that of the lion. Gentleman who has just sat down, I am in doubt whether our natural anxiety to have this question brought before the House, and not to shrink from any accusation that might be made against us has not brought upon the House the inconvenience of Gentlemen preparing their opiniene and their speeches upon this subject, without reierence • to the facts upon which they have to speek—(eleur)— because, Sir, both the Hon. Gentleman the Meueber tor Montrose, but more especially the lion. eientletuan who has just sat down spoke entirely from a reference to some papers which did not exist, whilst the details of the subject were to be found in the p -per, which have been placed on the table of the Hogue. The Honourable Gentleman who has just :Taken has tounded his speech and his censure entirely upon the supposition that her Majesty's Gevertauent were en gaged in establishing an absolute Government in Porta• gal--(Hear, hear.) That it was their intetaien to maintain a despotism in that country and he therefore hroke out in declamation, and gibes, and infer,nc, s against the Ministry who could be guilty of such pro •pedings. But the simple fact is, that we had it, such thing in view at all—that, on the contrary, the pre positioes made, "hich my Noble Friend proposed first to the Queen of Portugal, and afterwards to the Jute ite of Oporto ; those terms were that all previous decrees should cease, and that everything done .in the fish of October should be revoked ; that the jury should be nlle 1, and thet the constitutional law of the country should have full play ; and that simple ob.ervation de stroys, 1 think, three-fourths of the specious ass::•rtions et the Hon. Gentleman. With respect to the ititerveta eon, it appears, a- I shall afterwards remark, that he cannot blame es for interference, when he would have Interfered in this mincer--he would have told the Crown it Spain that no Spanish force should enter Portugal. —(Hear.) Sir, what I have to centend, in olpositeein to the Hon. Gentleman who has made this sp -ecti—attack ng the conduc of the r iovernment is this—that it was necessary to interfere,first for the welfare i.f the int.- ests it Portugal, and secothily for the interests of this country ; and further. I am ready to maintain, that by - hat interference we not have risked the danger of an European war. These three propositions I think can be proved from the pipers which have been laid before the ;louse, and from the events which have taken place within the last few days.—(Hear.) Sir, I will net tollew the Honourable. Gentleman who has just sat •lown, upon the subject of the previous administrations •-f Portugal during the time of the Cabrals. That body was destroyed by a revolution—by a military revolution —like others which have since held office. The Duke et Palmella was at the head of the administration when that meeting of the Cabral party took place, which caused the Government so much alarm, and to ali parties then out of power, because they threatened the -oppression of the constitution and the destruction of the power of the monarchy. The Queen thought itneces sary, being acted upon by these alarms, partaking of the fears that were entertai ned,joining with tnose who tortned considerable party ; she thought it necessary to ask the Duke of Palmella if he could save her from the dangers which she apprehended. and on his professing himself ready to continue the Ministry, but not offering any gua :-antee as to what might occur, he desired :hat he might oe permitted to resign and immediately form another elinistry.—(Hear, hear.) Now, so far there was nothing unconstitutional. There might be sort e imprudence in the conduct of the Sovereign of Portugal, but so tar as the lismissal of the Ministry was concerned, that was an act of the Sovereign, arid one to which the Minist- r of any Sovereign might oe subject. Lord Howard de Walden, who was then at Lisbon, seems to have supposed at first that the temination of the Ministry of Das Antes would be favourably received. Upon a party waiting upon him, And asking him whether they would be safe. and whether they might depend upon the execution of the law. in reply he stated that, he expected that the law could be .drninistered without any revolutionary move- nett t ; but in a few days after, the parties ipposed to them, and who urged the Dike .1 Palmella to change his Ministers. joined Das Antas, and they formed a Junta in Oporto. They teia eicular addresses to the Sovereign, in which they remanded that the new Ministry should be nismi-sea, did expressed their fears of what is d Cabraliseic 'tetien in Portugal. Upon that demand being ret used hey placed themselves in arms against their Sovereign. I am not now to argue whether they were justified in heir fears, or whether that which they apprehended would k-.ive takes place, but I ton quite ready to admit hat at Oporto and various other places the provi- ions ;if the constitution were entirely thrown aside, and the eiest, disgrecerul and arbitrary acts of the most de- petit: ,lure were the consequences, which were sanctioned.by :a, Government. ''he Hon. Member fir Montrose went ,rough the narrative if these various acts as it e,ey were theee which her Majesty's Gtiv rnm- nt v : re prepare d to defend, and which they teceived vita initulgence. I say, on the contrary, that nose ver) acts form a part of our case. .s it was to put an end to proceedings like these, and to e - vent the eimenuante of that arbitrary system of 4 overnment, that my Noble Friend wrote the dispatch of and the h s ae y n h, dj r i )u n . utwah.wi will T i l t fia h kn e ed p t r th i h , a p e :, b ab ed cetrs t e nl a t j,i e eu r se m te) s e. t he i Minister a Q en ealt, Lisbon disapproved of what they did afterwards. and arnestly remonstrated with the Government at Lisbon epon the arbitrary character of these acts. Take one :if ,hem, which was the deputation of the prisoners aken at Torres Vedras, an act of great njustice in itself, and certainly most cruel to those persons. Unfortunately, the Queen of Portugal had placed herself in the hands of a party who seemed to have thought that the indulgence of cruelty should be part of their policy, and who continued so to act, in defiance of every remonstrance. Now, sir, the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last has said much in favour of the people, and much against the conduct of the Queen of Portugal. I will now read to the House a report of Mr. S theron, with respect to the Torres Vedras question. (The Noble Lord then read the re, ort, which stated that the subject had received the most careful deliberation of the Council, anti he was happy to think that the benevolent feelings of her Majesty towards the prisoners would not unlikely lead to an immediate resignation of the Ministry, and the same might be said with respect to every act then adopted). My Noble Friend wrote to the Junta to pro pose that the terms should be altered, and communicated the same intention to Das Antes, urging that he should resign the command of the army and return into private life. We are easily induced to consider in this country —we are easily induced to believe that those who are in the service of the Sovereign are responsible t for the acts of the Sovereign. I think it was a m imprudent thing for the Queen to put herself int, the hands of a piny which governed for several months. But I think it is too much for the Hon. Member for Wycombe to lay the blame personally upon the Sove reign, and not to consider that this party, who had the Ministry in its hands, and who proposed to leave the Queen without a Government, or without direction of Ihe army, that they aro not responsible for their acts. On the other hand the Junta becatne less arid less a body, representing the feelings 0; the people, or of the national party. After referring to another ex tract from the report of Mr. Sotherote, the Noble Lord went on to say that the country was divided into three parties, the one adhering to the Qu en, who governed in the most arbitrary manner ; the second were the Junta and its edits:reit:ft, wine of whom en tertained the most violent demeecraeic pritaa ples, who professed themselves ready to take ip arms in defence of the liberties of the people, bit who icted in the most oppressive manner. Tuts third were aliguelites, who were a numerous party, who for ned with the others, and added to their pew, r then- by, sup aerting Das Antis, who was r mbohlened l.y his military successes at Torres Vedras. Things went on in this state, and neither party seemed like ly to gain a victory. r.irtugal was being destroyed, her commerce and agri mltur, were neglected, and danger and rapine arose. l'ne whole country was divided among the soldier). Every dispatch which arrived deplored this state sf things. If i!J these circumstances a termination touts ive beer' put 01 these civil broils. and the constitution , f the country secured from danger, which would hay at stied these who had token part on one side or tae their, and which weuld hate recalled, at the saline tone, s w, e ,(f)c w itai h i nt h hi a o. des those he measure., c ea o e r n te t tohs: Itathi.:gme(gcr,tipti,:tvm.,i)(riuisnttghebreeipratt;hs: fig l egisH,l'leutis,l4,,iteuviegt2;;l:aeutdhdikatveptushcteheb.greuazttesittaxiaegt,ood;u34WsoUotifthleaac,vrei The Noble Lord then read the dispatch rc , f , rrPd to.

Let iiim re ' mind the House of the ancient tel subsisting between the tteuntries. and the preieds of ml: file; lty in which Portugal was their :shy. Seice the cohneeece ' ment of the lase century there hail not bete, less teat four wars, in which Spain had ,just ed with France, yet whilst they were at war with ihis country, Portugal re mained firm in her alliance with England. At the end of the seven yearS' war, Spain joined in an alliance against England, but Portugal still remained firm At the end of the American war Spain was similarly engaged with France, and still Portugal was toued faithful in their ranks. And during the cobfl:ct with respect to the Bourbons and the revolutionary war in France Por timed was equally true.—(Heer, hear, and cheers.) What would the Spaniards and Portuguese together have done ? They would have insisted on the banish ment of the Junta, and then indeed ,he liberties of Por tugal would have been prostrated. It' the Spanish army had been allowed to interfere only, then the state of anarchy predicted by Hon. Gentlemen would indeed • come to pass. Mr. Bulwer said that they could not in terfere in Portugal unless under circumstances . , but if those circutus.inces - arose, then, ind ee d, England would be prepared to interfere. The circuinstathes had arisen, and her Majesty's Government did iuterfere. If they had longer delayed, the position end ultinette de termination of the Spanish Government was interfere. 11 - ht.t, then, became of the Hon. Atenber t , r Wycembe and the Hen. and peaceful Member fur Mcittrose, who introduced this discussion?—(dear, hear.) Now let the Hous ,, censithr for it moment what was the situa Lion in which we were threatened with war? Donna Maria was reigning in P. ugaletud we telt it teissible that Don Miguel might have übiished a townie,. in Portugal. If the Government had net taken part against Spain, they must have taken part with Don Miguel, and against the ancient house of thelganza, with which this country had been on terms.of intimacy for centuries, and whom we are ceded upon to sustain in splendour and security. What, them did the Junta of Oporto propose? Das Antes was staled to have lost his authority over his fol lowers, anti every person residing at Lisbon who did net belong to that party dreaded, it they •howel succeed, that a state of anarchy would follow, alai that bloedshed and murder would be pepiereted in the street. Inmense difficulty would have followed it the Government had undertaken to defend the Portuguese against the armed intervention of Spain. Had Spain succeeded in her armed intervention, she would leave had the ge id wishes, it not at least the active support of Fiance, for the Minis ter of France had d•-clared leng ago that he thought the case was cute in which the terms of the quadruple alliance was applicable. What then would be the consequence if Spain, 'backed by France, shoulit succeed in establishing a supremacy in Portugal ? Was they House prepared for such a state of things as that ? ‘l l as tt prepared to see that ancient alliance, which se long existed betwetet this country end Portugal, destroyed by Spanish supre macy in that country ? This was tt point, which through int :he discussion, he had not tailed to adopt. After , hat long connexion with Portugal, he should be sorry that this Governinent which was called upon by the Government of Portugal to interfere, having the means and the power to dictate the terms ot the ititererence, should shrink from so doing, and giving that assistance, and thereby become disconnected for ever with the Go vernment of Portugal. It had often been said that the safety of this etaa try was fOunded upon a system of alliances, and except this country mairitained its alliancss with Pertugal, her ancient ally, there was no security for the peace of Europe, and this country would be o• liged to accent dishonourable terms, or to keep a large army and a considerable (lest fur the purpose of preserving the independence. He was speak ine language in contermity with that of a very great man. In the year 1786, there was a democratic party in the Netherlands, which was supperteu by. France; the authority of the Prin.,e. of O; singe was aleigeher subordinate, and all the power of the Government was placed in the hands of the democratic part. England interfc , :ed on that occasion. The King of 'Prussia cook occasion of an insult. off red to the Princess of Orange, when passing in her carriage ; he accordingly displaced that Government, and put the Government of the stat holdrr in its place ; and England stated that it France attempted to disturb that s , ttletneet made by Pi ussee they would inlerfere. Both Mr. Pitt and Sir. Fox concurred in that opinion. The present tees pro cisely a sitriler cite to that of Prussia a d the Netherlands. The terms which had been dieted by this country to the Juts wore such as lie hil:y thought hey would have acceded to. Das Antes himself scared that the terms were excellent and onexceptiotrlble. The question is, a hat inducement could the Junta have lied in refusing these terms? They hat peued at the same time to have received advice , of some successes wlech had taken place. The third pint was, that the leaders of the Junta hail not offered to disobey their orders, and that they feared not only datigrr to their authority but to their persons.—(Hear, hear.) Such were the reasons why these terms were net accepted in the first instance. Sir Hamilton Seymeur, seeing the state of affairs e seeing the urgency of the ovett•tiou, and in formed by the dispatch of Aeril that Esiglund intended to interfere, desired Sir William Palter to send te eps to Oporto. Notice had been given, and letttrs written, stating to the Junta that the has iic proceeetegs would no longer he carte- d (tit by tt: s country. '[Tie Count Des Auras had • inherited his troops at this period. Sir Thomas Matti did had recei , ed those orders sent to Mr. Salter, that if his ships pro ceeded they would be captured by her .Majesty's vessels. Another letter had been written which gave rise to the opinion that a due nutlee had not been given to the Junta. There only 'remained one last letter a hich they had not received. He believed that the Junta, Count 1)-is Artois, and those who wee with him. must have been fully aware of what was to tellew it they persisted. Sir Thomas hlnitlar,d, seeing what had been advuneelt, thought it li g ht to carry his in t,uttit qui into execu.ien lie nitormed the officers that be would not allow them to proceed south, or cutter the port. They then surrendered, the Count Das Anta: stating that they surrendered themsrlvea to the British troops, and only desired not to be deltvered to the Portuguese Government. This wits up to to, and with the honour that has always marked British troops, that agrette- , nt was strictly a there a and they mere placed in confinement under British su perintend,nce, and treated in every- respect as prisoners war. The censequence of this he teiped would be, that both the Junta and the Goverhue nt of Portugal would accept the terms °delta) preps( d by her Majesty's Government, namely, that all ihese offences should be passed over, and that the Constitution should be re-established.—(hear.) Therefere, so tar from establishing despotism, what they (the Govern ment) had dime was to do away with that despotism that existed at Lisbon. They interfered for the peace Of Europe.--([liar, hear.) In the last place, let the House considers what would have been the danger if they had taken the course which was now recommended to them. If they had insisted that Spain should not inter fere, they would make a cases Lclli. Such a de termination of Government at that juncture might have been disastrous to the peace of Eurve. ! Le them consider that with regard to tle se questio s , :fp - ' litical constitutions, they were not iii a state very &dere-tit from that in which &trope -was placed during the wars the,: succeeded the Reformation. The French Pro testants then sympathised with the Protestants of Eng land, while the Cathoß-s of Spain sympathised with the Catholics of England—Queen Elizabeth endeavouring to promote a revolution against the Catholics, while Philip of Spain endeavoured to excite a revolution in this country. He thought it must be evident to any one who gave any attention to .the events of Govern ments, that Governments could not be indillerent t i the form of the constitution establish, d in neighbouring na tions. Thus they had seen that numerous cases of inter ference had taken place during the last twenty years. Interference had eaten place 'within that time b e t", „ Turkey and Greece, and in 1831 inierforeece also was considers d to be necessary with respect to Bigium. The algians had revolted against the treaty Of Vienna. and with dr e w their allegiance front Prince of Orange, though they had bound them selves to that Oh glance by oath. What happened? When the Prinee of Orange was marching troop s into Belgium, Sir Rot-ert Adair was aftit to stop him, and told him that he must not proceed any further. Was that not an interference to establish a nee eotistitutioe iu Belgium, apart from Holland?—(Year.) Subs. q ui t ntly With regard.to Portugal itself there was an int: rv-ntiou on the part of this country. There was an iit r erete e in the :Nis: , of Don Miguel and Darina Maria was plaecd on the throne by the assistance of France, Sp a i n , u „ . , of E..4 . 41an d .

The revolution of 1688 had been adverted to in the emu - At of the debates, and it had been ulleged t h a t that was a revolution brought about without the aid of foreign interference. Ile had every- respect for the settlement which hail put the reigulitg family on the tt roue ; but he could not forget that William Prance of Orauge was net invited until he ILA secured foreign interference, and br-'ugea some good engineers with hini.”—(l.a,getcr.) iA hen they wishe+l to establish prince of German, on the throne, they called in tin: aid -of thousand i )wets troop, to 1,81 n• blish hi.. atims.
