TiIE PUBLIC LP.DGRR.
Towards ortugal,"att the. oldest and most
faitfnl of atl her attic's, England is bound to
display the most unequivocal marks of her re-
gard; and how can she manifest it better, than
ny.omploying- her friendly offices to induce that
t;overnments to confer upon the Portuguese na-
tioli the blessings of tutelary rule ? The King is
44,43edisposed to second. any effarts of this kind
that may emanate from the English Cabinet ; and
As if6ttiing would 4elnOre conducive to his own
happiness, as well as the welfare of his subjects,
leflialiope that advantage -will be taken of this
004 ‘disposition to bring• about so desirable a
result.. ,One of the most enlightened and honour-,
atO'Sifitestnen, that has appeared in Portugal in
otir time, now represents that Power in this
contstry. - In him this Government would find
aricellent co-operation ; and when it is consi-
._dered that every improvement, which may he
• conferred upon the Portuguese nation is sure to
redound, to the honour and interest of England,
it belcorites altnost unnecessary to press the qUes-
tioVilarther. All reasonable .men are now of
oOlniva, that good government constitutes the
only, secure basis of national prosperity. An
itblePespot might, it is true, throw a blaze
of. grory round .his reign, but it scorches in-
?AO of warming—at least its 'effects are of a
doubtful character,and they invariably disappear
soon as be' is gone. Whereas, good political

dition of,a "linked Sovereign than that_of an arbi-
trary Monarch*; whilst the subjects of the former

Therefore the'snrest way to contribute to the wel-
fare of.Pottugal, is to give her a Government of
Late, such 'as would be adapted to the moral and
intellectual condition of her People. The Con-
stitution of the Cortes wag certainly defective in
this grand essential, that it did not accommodate
itself to the character of the nation ; and there-
fore it fell without a struggle, and without regret.
A lesss shewy syStem, one, not so perfect in
theory, but better adapted to the wants and
wages of the country, would not only have pro-
duced incomparably more good, but it would
have taken root; and we hope that, in the next
experiment, the practical will he consulted
in- preference to the visionary. In this case,
the admirable naturttl advantages of the coun-
try would be gradually called into play, in-
stead of being left uncultivated, as was
unfortunately the case under the Constitu-
tional system. It is far from our purpo-e
to speak unkindly of the adherents of that
system, many of whom were exCellent men
with respect to , goOd intentions ; but they
were woefully deficient in exper;ence—wkich
welt accounts for-the• little good they were able
to 'do. The. next reformers will probably not
undertake so much at once, and they are sure in
this case to render their country infinitely better
services. We should share with the Portuguese
in every advantage that might result from the
employment of our influence to promote this end.
As the nation became wealthie:r, our trade with
it would become more lucrative ; and as our ally
both in peace and war, its friendship would he
triore valuable every year.

The chief articles of intelligence in the Paris
Papers of Stinday are those relating to the pre-
paratory measures .for the Coronation. The inte-
rest of these articles, however, has been greatly
abated in this country hy.the copious descriptions
wehave flublislied of this solemnity. The daily
press 9f London has been supplied by us with
thePartiCulars as early as, they.would appear in
the Journals of Paris; at least this will be the
case with , regard, to some, portion of the ceremo-
nies. The,Tirri:ei and .Chronicle of to-day, copy-
ing our article of yesterday, will be, as to that
part of the proceedings; 'rather late in compa-
rison with:, the French' Papers ;' put if they
