this occurrence," he is sure, " would never affect the I
Portuguese loyalty." So that even now the necessity
of having recourse to the aid of foreign troops is i
contemplated as a contingency within the scope of pro-
bability. We do not expect that the necessity will be
found to exist. The disbandment of the disaffected
portions of the Portuguese army, or perhaps the dismissal
and disgrace of the Leaders of the rebellious faction, at-
tached to the interests of the exiled Infant, will, we are
of opinion, reduce the military to their due obedience to
the King's authority. The adherents of Don Nlignel are
now aware of the feelings of all the European crowned
heads with respect to their treasonable attempt against
their Sty.-ereign, and they must therefore be awed into
submission. The autograph letter of his Britannic Majesty
was of itself almost enough to have kept down the defeated
party. Success would only be their ruin.
We tre glad to observe, by the arrivals from Jamaica
yesterday, that the disturbances in that island were, at the
date of the last accounts, nearly brought to a conclusion.
Some precautionary military movements had taken place,
but the public tranquillity had been unbroken by any
recent acts of outrage or insubordination. The ramifica-
tions of the conspiracy were, we have no doubt, extensive.
, In fact, as it had its origin in a contagious delusion, which''
unfortunately derived too much countenance from passing
occurrences, it may in one sense be said to have included
every negro in the colony, and indeed in the West Indies;
but, strictly speaking, there appears reason to believe that
; the plot was not confined to the few estates on which the
symptoms of revolt were manifested.

the Government, it will, when properly trained and dis-
ciplined; be found, we have no doubt, an excellent snd
effectual instrument for the impartial execution of the laws
and preservation of the public peace. It has been objected
by some, the novelty of whose constitutional jealousy
renderr it the more conspicuous, that this force ac-
cords ill with the principles of the constitution. We
admit the fact, and we should be amongst the first to
resist the introduction of a military police into this
island. But the condition of Ireland is essentially so
different from Great Britain, that no absurdity could
be greater than that of sacrificing the substance to the
form, by attempting to carry the laws into effect iu Ire-
land, by machinery which that country cannot furnish.
The object of the British Constitution is, to guarantee
public and individual safety ; and the single question for
the Statesman is, how that object can be best attained.
The evidence of experience showed that the Irish gentry,
with their old system of police, could not prevent the dis-
orders which the new police has nearly succeeded in sup-
pressing. The ks suptema, therefore, called for the insti-
tution of the constabulary power ; and, until great changes
have been accomplished in the condition of Irish society,
the constabulary power must be continued. The value
and importance of compelling the Magistrates to hold
petty Sessions cannot perhaps be completely understood in
' this country, where we have happily been ignorant of the
furious excesses of party by which Ireland has been for
ages distracted; and, for the same reason, the services of
the assistant barristers at Quarter Sessions must be less sa-
tisfactorily appreciated. But every one who has paid the
least attention to the principles on which justice should be.
administered knows, that publicity is essential to its purity.
and especially that the presence of learned and independent
assessors operates with peculiar effect on those who in se-
cret would, without hesitation, practise the most scandalous
oppression ; and while the authority of the upright Magis-
trate is supported and sanctioned by the publicity of his
deeds, he is himself saved from the importunity of those
solicitations to warp his integrity to which the secret Judge
is exposed in their fullest force. Upon the whole, the po-
litical prospects of Ireland must be exhilarating to every
friend to the greataess of the empire and the happiness of
the people. The parting admonition of his Majesty, on
his auspicious visit to the Green Island, has not been for-
gotten. The temper of Irish parties towards each other
has been ameliorated, and the subsequent administration
of Lord Wellesley has removed most of the difficulties
which impeded the progress of a just and liberal system of
Government.

THE FRENCH SLAVE TRADE.

From the Appendix to the' late Report of the African
Institution, the substance of which we gave last week, we
make the following interesting extracts, relative to the
actual state of the shocking traffic in human beings, which
yet " flourishes" principally under the protection, as it were,
of the French Government :--•
COPY OF • LETTER FROM DIR. SECRETARY CANNING TO
SIR CsIARLE3 STUART, DATED MAY 23, DM.
I inclose herewith to your Excellency the copy of a communica-
tion lately received from the Governor of his Majesty's colony at
Sierra Leone. containing many particulars relative to the conti-
nuance of the Slave Trade, by vessels under the French flag, on tbe
coast of Africa.
Your Excellency will find, that at Gallinas fourteen French Mao
eels received cargoes of Slaves on board in the short space of four
months ; that the trade is stated to be carried on now to a greater
extent than at any former period ; that, to use the expression of
the writer, it is considered to be " flourishing ;" and that, as the
British cruisers permitted it to be carried nn with impunity under
their eyes, the nations on the mast bad come to a persuasion that
the trade wee lawful.
Your Excellency has frequently received instructions from your '
Court to bring to the knowledge of the French Government glaring
instances of the active employment of French capital in this nefa-
rious traffic, and the extensive protection afforded by the French
lag to it.
'he French Government cannot bet regret the impression created
on the minds of the natives by the conduct of its subjects on the I
oust of Africa ; and they will derive from this circumstances fresh
witsof the necessity of taking sonic decisive step to vindicate their
from the dishonour which thus attaches to it, by stigmatising
a punishment, in some tlegree proportioned to the (mince, shies
audacious pursuit by French subjects of a traffic prohibited by their
Government, and pronounced by the whole civilised world to be a
disgrace to the age.
The following extract of a letter from the late Sir Charles
M`Carthy to Earl Bathurst, dated Siena Leone, Sept. 211,
1822, chews the melancholy increase which had taken place
in the Slave Trade, in spite of all the zealous efforts of the
British officers to suppress it, and there was none who had

LISBON PA I'EBS.

A contemporary has published an article representing the
situation of Bolivar in Peru to be precarious, on account i
of the aversion of the Peruvians, and the strength and
popularity of the Royalist army. The article is introduced
by some comments on the pretended letter from Guayaquil,
published some time since, announcing the total defeat of
the Spaniards. We have already expressed our opinion of
the iinpolicy of employing the Colombian troops in the ex-
pulsion of the Royalists from Peru, except as the auxilia-
ries of a native army of Patriots. But we do not therefore
look upon Bolivar to be surrounded by all the perils which
seem, in the judgment of our contemporary, to environ him.
Because he may not have gained a victory, it is not to be
presumed he has sustained a defeat. We also hazarded an
opinion, that the defection of Torre Tagle was connected
with some political arrangement with the Spanish Gene-
rals, for, as we expressly stated, we could not bring our-
selves to regard hint as likely to prove an ordinary traitor.
Canterac, and the other Spanish Generals, with the excep-
tion of Olaneta, were warmly attached to the constitution
of the Cortes. They can have no hope in returning to
Spain, but to meet with disgrace, or perhaps become the
tenants of a dungeon. The probability of their agreeing
to a declaration of the independence of the country has
been corroborated by the last arrival from Buenos Ayres.
It was then expected that ncgociations would be opened
with Bolivar, who could have no wish nor pretence
to continue the war in Peru if he was satisfied of the sin-
enity of the Spanish Commanders. The abusive Procla-
mation of Torre Tagle, which our contemporary gives, was
published in our Paper six weeks ago, and we then re-
marked that the grossness of the invective defeated the
malice of the writer. We confess we begin to be anxious
respecting the state of affairs in Peru, but we do not
despair of the safety of Bolivar.

LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGVST 19, 1824.

The recent decisions in the French Courts, in favour of
the right of the proprietors to revive a journal discontinued
by their own voluntary act, have produced consequences
which were not, we believe, anticipated on any side, when
the prosecutions against the revived journals were com-
menced by the French Ministry. Our readers will re-
member that the law, which authorised the tribunals, in
certain cases, to decree the suspension or suppression
of offending journals, prohibited the institution of
any new journal, without a licence from the Government.
To the journals actually in existence when the law was
passed, the right of continuing in existence was granted,
subject only to the power of the tribunals. The French
Mioistcr has lately been engaged in buying up the copy-
rights of the journals, in order to render them subser-
vient to his purpose. But to his mortiflcatien and chagrin,
he found that as fast as he proceeded in the completion
of this design by purchasing the existing journals, some
of those which had been dropped since the enactment
of the law Here-recalled into being by their former
proprietors, who claimed the right of reviving them,
as they ball been discontinued voluntarily by the
proprietors, and not suppressed by the sentence of any
tribunal. The Crown Lawyers denied this right, but
tlie Courts established it by their decisions. An ap-
peal *was made to the Court of Cassation, by which,
however, the judgments of the inferior Courts were con-
firmed. M. de thus thwarted by the firmness and
integrity of the Courts, has hail recourse to the riltima
ratio, and stifled the journals he could not ecrrupt, by
placing the newspapers under censorship during the proro-
gation of the Clambers. By the law which freed the
French journals from the censorship, it was provided, that
" if serious circumstances should render ineirectual" other
means of repression, the c:nsorship might be provisionally
revived by an Ordinance of the King. M. de Villele, in
search of a pretext for shackling the press, has availed
himself of the decisions of the French Courts as his justi-
fication. The "serious circumstances" which arc gravely
elated to have rendered ineffectual all other means of re-
pression consist in the fact, that " the jurisprudence of the
Courts of Justice has admitted for the journals an exist-
ence de jure, independent of their existence de
.fiick
The terms of a legislative enactment were, we believe,

Villele calculates upon the prolongaticn of his power by
such means, be IW:.lintlerstitias the temper and spirit of
the times in rehab be lives. He will fall certainly ; and
he will fall unregrctted.

The following is the Ordinance of the Ki
for re-establishing the censorship of the .1,
Mositenr of Monday, in which it appeared,
specially for that purpose:—
Louis, by the Grace of God King of France and 7
whom these presents shall come greetin,„
Seeing Article 4 of the Law of 17th March, 11122.

Chambers, serious circumstances should render ink

This disposition shall cease by full right one
opening of the Session of the Chambers, if during

It shall likewise cease by full right, the day on

lately admitted for the journals an existence de jar

That this interpretation furnishes a sure and ,

That it follows from this, that the means of repress,
