E.th UCi9 from the Morning Papers, Feb• 2, 1825•

[MORNING HERALD.]
The ensuing Session of Parliament approaches
aim'noiseless as the meeting of any of our Courts
of Law after an ordinary vacation. " It roars
•:t loud nor thunders in the index." Hitherto
'very Session has had some business of novelty
least, if not of great magnitude, to discuss.—
T':e invasion of Spain was a topic of immense in-
terest in 18'23. The disturbances in Demerara,
.tll the relations of the New States, excited
much anxiety and considerable expectation last
year. But what has Parliament to do this year?
This paucity of matter for declamation and in-
vective may be felt inconvenient. by Members
.::rose title to their seats is at all dependent upon
I.leir popularity, now that the Parliament is
:•) far in time wane. It will be recollected
that this is a Par:hutment called together by
new reign. Its age is not yet five years,
alihough it is about to commence its sixth
Session. Its natural, or rather its necessary dis-
olution, would be in April, 18'27. Yet though
i. will not probably be dissolved until June or
July, 18‘26, it has arrived at that stage when the
Jaen of the people were wont to renew the lustre
of their celebrity. It is very difficult for them
to find materials for this renovation at the pre-
sent period of tranquil well-doing. The leading
orators will of course make their speeches in their
respective departments. Mr. Brougham will
point his invective against the Irish administra-
tion. Sir James Mackintosh will complain of our
slow and hesitating policy towards the new Ame-
rican States. Mr. John Williams will press for
information respecting the Chancery Commission.
Sir Francis Burdett will throw his polished ja-
rf•liu with a haughty and disdainful air at the
Attorney-General for Ireland ; and Mr. Hob-
house will make a vigorous speech for the repeal
of time Assessed Taxes. Mr. Hume will advert
to English turnpikes and Irish tithes, complain of
Colonial extravagance, and the established Church
of Ireland. Mr. Car►ning will find no oppor-
tunity for exercising his peculiar and powerful
rhetoric, and must practice it in his closet if he
-would not have it contract rust. Mr. Leonard
used to make annual motions for the repeal of the
Six Acts, but has lately discontinued it. We
think the subject too extensive and varied for
one motion, but if the Libel Banishment Act
Were selected, and well concerted support were
given to a motion for its repeal, there can be little
doubt but the result would be successful. It is
a disgrace to our age and country, that men of
good character and excellent intentions may be-
come legally liable to banishment from their
native land and their beloved country. The
present period of political repose, during the po-
pular administration of a most elegant and accom-
plished scholar, is the most auspicious which
could be desired for the removal of such a blot
from our legislative code.

NEW TI M ES.]
Yesterday forenoon an extraordinary Express
rags received in the City, by a house of the first
eminence, announcing an important change in the
political Administration of Portugal ; it is stated
(and our previous advices led us to expect such
an event), that a change has taken place in the
Portuguese Cabinet of a decisive character, and
which leaves little doubt that the important ques-
tion relative to the Brazils will be speedily de-
cided in a manner satisfactory to the friends of both
Countries. BothSubserra and Pampeluna aresstated
to have retired,and to have been succeeded by indi-
viduals whose opinions are known to be decidedly,
favourable to conciliation with the Brazilian Go-
vernment. The exertions of Sir William A'Court
have been not less successful than indefatigable,
find fully justify the high opinion of his talents
and discretion manifested by our Government.—
This intelligence corroborates what has been al-
ready stated by us with respect to a presumed
communicat:on from Sir William A'Court to the
Portuguese Government, in which was declared
then recent decision of the British Cabinet to re-
cognize the independence of the New States of
South America. The above iwelligence was re-
ceived by way of France, and is of several days
later date than the accounts received on the pre-
ceding day by the racket.
