THE PORTFOLIO.-We understand that in the
highest political circles, the papers in the Portfolio, published
by Ridgway, are now admitted to be authentic. •We have
some reason to believe that the Duke of Wellington has been
perfectly satisfied on that point both by the publisher himself
and Count Matuszewic. This authentication is important,
since it proves bow deeply the scheme was laid by Russia to
overreach Lord Castlereagh and the Duke of Wellington in
the treaty of Vienna. We believe that the copies of this sin-
gular correspondence were made by a secretary of Count Pozzo
di Borgo, who afterwards offered them for sale to Count
Matuszewic, which offer was declined, as it was pretty well
known that a reserved copy was in existence. They then
fell into; the bands of Mr. Urquhart, well known as an attache
to the British Legation at Constantinople, for several years,
who generally adopted for political purposes either the Greek
or Turkish costume. Since then that gentleman has received
a diplomatic`appointment.--Morning Herald.
The Gazette of last night contains the order of the
Speaker, in pursuance of the Act of the 42d Geo. M., that
the Dublin Election Committee shall re-assemble on Monday,
the 29th inst., to take into consideration the Report of the
Commission appointed to examine evidence in Ireland.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has assured Mr.
l3rlto M. P., who was deputed at the recent Bromyard
meeting present a memorial on the subject, that it is not the
ieb
intention of Government to make any alteration in the Hop
Duty.—Hereford Journal.
