Lords and Military Gentlemen sit to regulate
the spinning of flax and weaving and bleach-
ing of linens. Before the Right Honourable
President orthe Board of Tradc proceeds further
in his, Bill, we would recommend him to go
down to Liyerpool, enter the warehouse of one
of the Liverpool merchants, turn warehouseman,
and ascertain whether a United States, or a
South American, or a West Indian purchaser,
would take in preference German and Russian
linens, or Irish and English linens—French silks
or English silks—French cambrics for shirt frills,
or Irish cambrics—French fine woollens; or
Leeds tine woollens ; and a great variety of other
articles, %% hie!' we have not to-night the lime
nor the space to enumerate. After a little prac-
tice of this sort, the Right Honourable Gentle-
man might know something of the matter. At pre-
sent, rr e are persuaded he is not at all acquainted
with it.

[TH E TIMES.]
We yesterday adverted to a representation of
the Portuguese Minister of Justice to the Cortes,
at the close of last month, in which he states,
" that there were in the capital principally, and
" in some other parts cf the kifigdorn, indivi-
" duals dangerous to the state, whose charac-
" ters and notorious designs rendered it advisable
"to separate them fto:n each other, though
"no legal proofs had been obtained of their
" actual crimes." This communication was re-
ferred to the Committee on the Constitu-
tion, which advised, " that the Government
" should be authorized, for the space of one
" Month, to proceed against such individuals,
" whether private persons or public officers, by
" removing them from one part of the kingdom
"to the other, as it might judge fit." Neither
the names, number, or rank of the individuals
thus described, nor the nature of their offence, is
stated in any of the subsequent Lisbon Journals,
which we have received, but we have been
favoured from a private source with the following
list of them, and the places of their temporary
banishment :-
1 Places of Removal. Names of Persons.
To Guarda - - . Ex-Brigadier Telles Jordao.

To 31onte Mor o Novo - :Major Pimento, coming from Rio
de Janeiro.
To the same - - - Dr. Quina.
To Arganil . The Dominican Friar Mexie, well

known at Paris.
To Montforte do Rio Levri The Colonel of Militia Cahieiro.
To Castello Lindez3 - The Quartermaster of the Reg. 18,
Fottano Malefaia.
To S. Vicente do Bine - Ex-Cap:ain Mon Simoens.
Out of the kingdom - Futlano Pinete.
Rio de Janeiro - - Antonio Telles, brother of the Mar-
quis of Penalva.
Quinto do Lapa - The Grand Prior, brother of Ant.
Telles.
Torrao' . The Grand Prior of the Order of
Christ.
This list, • though not complete, is correct so
far as it gore, and will serve to show the class of
persons who are alleged to entertain designs
hostile to the new order of things. A revolution
like that of Portugal, which changed the most
important institutions of the State, and alteird
•the relative position of the most powerful classes
'of society, could not in the nature of things have
been effected without exciting great discontent,
without leaving deep-rooted jealousies and an.-
tipathies,: and creating eni,mies in proportion to
the reforms which it introduced the-abuses which it
checked, or the riglns and liberties which it esta-
blished. The monk, driven from his convent, or
stripped of the means of luxurious indulgence—
the courtier compelled to pay deference to the
rights of the citizen—the Judge deprived of the
wages of corruption by being obliged to admi-
nister the laws in the face of day, and not,
as formerly, in secret sittings—and all the
Agents of Government who trampled on the
privileges, or extorted the money,•of the people,
must cherish a hatred of the new order of things,
amounting almost to horror, and must be disposed
to plot for the restoration of the " olden time."
it is surprising, therefore, in these circumstances,
that we should hear of so few conspiracies, and
that the Cortes should think,'as in this case, the
public tranquillity sufficiently const!tted by grant-
ing the Minister of Justice, for the !united
rind of a month only, die power of dispersing the
eletnents of political danger.

[sEw TIMES.]
The disagreement with the Chinese is a mat-
ter naturally exciting great anxiety at the pre-
sent moment : and we have therefore, in addi-
tion to the general view of the occurrence which
was given in our papir 'of Wednesday, thought
proper to lay before our Readers one of the full-
est documents issued by the Governor of Canton.
(Sec TB,: SuN of his day.)—A perusal of it may
perhaps afford room for the indulgence of a hope
that concord may yet he restored, and the va-
luable, trade of the East Incra Company with
China replaced on its former footing. It cannot
fail to be observed that the Governor repeatedly
disclaims any intention of detaining the British
traders by force, or of interrupting the passage
of the English vessels out of the Bocca Tigris.
Nay he urges that their departure is a voluntary
act ; that they have no reason to apprehend any
ill treatment if they choose to stay ; and that as to
the goods and credits «hich they may leave behind
them at Canton, there is no occasion for anxiety.
The same law which says 44 he who kills a man
must pay for it with his life," says also'' he who
owes a debt must pay for it with his money."—
The only point on which the Governor appears
inflexible, is the demand of some securi:y
that the individuals who killed the Chinese
shall he forthcoming to answer the demands
of justice ; and even here he does not insist
on having the accused persons immediately
given up, but merely secured for future re-
sponsibility. Upon the face of these docu-
ments there is certainly nothing unreason-
able. If the crew of a -foreign vessel in
the port of London were to etta;age in a
in which the lives of some inhabitants of this
town were to be lost, the least we should ex-
pect would be that their Captain should
undertake to bring them forward for trial at the
proper time. The transactions at Canton appear,
as yet, to have gone no further than the Governor.
f the matter has been laid before the Emperor,
it may perhaps be more difficult to make it up ;
but if that step has not been taken, an amicable
arrangement may be considered as by no means
hopeless.
