pointed to the Embassy at Paris, the duties of
which he had discharged before, to the sasisfac-
tion of that Court, and to the advantages we be-
lieve, of his country. Count Subsierra comes in
a similar capacity to this country; and he
is indebted, we have no doubt, for this ap-
pointment, to the manly stand which he made,
at the imminent risk of his life, against the
attempt of the Queen's faction 'to dethrone
the King, and get that Princess appointed Regent.
'[he former is replaced in the Foreign Depart-
ment by Pinheiro Ferreira ; and the latter, in the
Ministry of War, by Count de Barbacena. The
other new Ministers have such very long names,
that we must refer the Reader for them to the
Decree in which their appointment is announced ;
and we only have to hope that their pretensions
are as numerous and sounding as their names.

[NEW TIMES.]
Yesterday letters were received by the Mag-
net packet from Lisbon to the 26th ult. They
fully confirm the intelligence of a complete change
in the Portuguese Ministry, received on Tues-
day last, and published exclusively in our Paper
of the following day. The change is regarded
as of great importance, both with regard to the
domestic interests and foreign policy of Portugal.
A list of the new appointments will be found in
another column. The private letters from the
English houses express considerable satisfaction
at the appointment of so able a negociator as Sir
Charles Stuart.

The latest accounts from Paris received yester-
day in the city reach down to Friday evening last,on
which day the Itentes closed at 103 f. 70c. for
money. Consols continued steady with little
variation at 93171 for the Account, throughout the
day. The intelligence received in due course
from Lisbon and the Brazils, confirming our for-
mer statements, produced a very sensible effect
in the City ; Brazilian Bonds were 89, the Scrip
of the late loan obtained 16i pm. and that of
the last loan 5 pm. Portuguese Bonds were 90,
and the whole of the European Securities
were higher in the latter part of the day.—
In consequence of the contract for the
New Mexican Loan having been taken at a
price much below what was expected, the South
American Securities, and more particularly those
of Mexico and Columbia, experienced much va-
riation in price ; the former bearing 5 per cent.
interest, opened at 82117 advanced to 831, and
closed at 814 ; the latter obtained 93, and closed
at 91i, bearing 6 per Cent. interest. Greek
Bonds were 1 per Cent. higher ; and in the other
Securities there was no material alteration. For
the prices of the Shares we must refer to
our list of prices ; by which will be perceived,
that an advance in price has taken place in them
since Saturday.—(lbid.)

[MORNING HERALD.]
If nations were governed in their principles and
conduct by the same rules as individuals, we should
expect to see consistency among the number ;
and that being the case, we could hardly look
for any thinf, more unexpected than that France,
or even Spain herself, should express any as-
tonishment or uneasines at our re-cognition of the
late South American Colonies of the latter as
independent States. Little more than half an
age has elapsed, since the North American Co-
lonies of this country revolted from our controul.
That they did so, and that their efforts were not
immediately crushed, was owing to the obstinacy
and imbecility of the then Administration, which
first provoked hostilities, and then, instead of
suppressing them at once with an overwhelming
farce, sent out troops by handfuls, to be sacri-
ficed in detail. France and Spain, in no way in-
terested either in the quarrel or the result, yet
seeing an opportunity of injuring their ancient
rival, chose to make a common cause with our
Colonies, and with a view to injure and embar-
rass the mother country, joined the standard of
Colonial rebellion, and were mainly instrumental
in rescuing them from our power. It would be
no difficult matter, however, to prove that they
have each suffered in the result more than we
have done. Indeed, if we except the increase of
debt which the American war entailed upon us,
the loss of those Colonies has been by no means
such a loss or injury to us as it was expected to
be. If retaliation had been worthy of a great
Nation, how many opportunities have presented
themselves. To say nothing of what might have
been done in the case of the French colony of St.
Domingo, it is sufficient for our present purpose
to remark, that the South American colonies of
Spain have long presented a scene on which we
might have at once resented and indemnified our-
selves for the aggression of 1778. Yet what
has been the conduct of this country ? With
these Colonies, destitute both of aid or restraint
from the mother country, actually tempting and
asking for our protection, we have, from a high
sense of honour, almost trifled with ourselves and
them, rather than seem to do an act which could
bear the interpretation of national injustice. In
proportion as the opportunity has been both
tempting and justifiable, so have we withheld
our adoption of it ; and in proportion to
the weakness of Spain, has been our forbear-
ance. At length, when every effort of ne-
gociation had been exhausted—when scarcely
a shadow of controul—and we had almost said, of
claim, was left to the mother country, we have
clone that which we should have been justified in
doing long ago. Yet now, forsooth, we are to be
upbraided by a power, which, in our own case,
never exercised one hundred' part of the forbear-
ance which we have shown towards her. The
great standard rule of all Governments should
be, so to act as to stand justified in the impartial
eyes of posterity. Applying this rule to the case
in question, we can have nothing to fear from
history.

Dtoiorms, CHRONICLE-1
Our readers will see from our Parliamentary
Report, that the Lord Chancellor stated last
night the nature of the Bill which it was his in-
tention to bring in, with a view to check the
abuse of jobbing in Shares of Companies. Our
Reporter speaks hesitatingly as to the particulars
of what fell fr,in his Lordship on this subject.
Weunderstood (he says) his Lordship tosay, that
it was his intention to bring in a Bill, making the
