March 0, 1823.

[THE TIMES.]
Iu the midst of the more potent movements of
greater States, our attention has not recently
been much solicited to the affairs of Portugal.
The arrivals of yesterday are, however, of some
importance. A project of a decree was presented
to the Cartes of that country, and will no doubt
be accepted in its most essential parts, the object
of which is to identify the Portuguese cause with
that of Spain.. The property, or rather the
necessity, of this policy, is incontrovertible. We
are bound by treaty to support Portugal: but
the Gods, according to the fable of the Waggoner
and his Team, never assist those who do not
labour for themselves. Now it is obvious that
the most effectual way for Portugal to protect
°herself, is by endeavouring to keep the war at a
distance froM her frontiers—that is, by joining
Spain in repelling the French at the very
entrance into the Peninsula, and by imped-
ing them at every etep they take. Indeed, we
think it would be the height of folly and inso-
Jence, hr Portugal to sit with her arms folded
vildist the whole of Spain is overrun, and then to
call upon us to protect her against the victorious
and caufident army. As to supposing also that
any remonstrances of ours can stay France from
advancing, when the prey is within her grasp,
France has shewn us already, in the affair of Spain,
what value she puts upon our representations.
:But there is another point of view in which this
question affects England yet more nearly. We
are bound by treaty to protect Portugal; and the
French themselves say, that the affair of Spain
will not detain them a month. If Portugal,
therefore, is not to make the best efforts she can
to ward off the danger from herself, it is all but
at her door ; and we must begin arming forth.
with, in order to fulfil the terms of our engage-
' ment ; for the thought of protecting Portugal
without arms in our hands is most contemptibly
absei].

[MORNING CIIIIONICI.E.I
We received the Paris Papers of Sunday and
Monday at a late hour last night. The pro-
ceedings against Manuel have excited a great
sensation in Paris. Nothing can be more base
and cowardly than the arbitrary attempt of the
Ultras to exclude this Gentleman. They appeal
to England, but there is no precedent with us of
an expulsion on account of language used in
debate. But it is well known in Paris that the
Ultras had determined on keeping Messrs. Con-
stant and Manuel out of the Chamber, from a
feeling of their inability to cope with them.—
The former iaiNd in his election ; but the latter
having been returned, they determined on his
expulsion► the first debate that should occur.—
This is one way of silencing opposition

It now turns out that the intrigue by -which
it was intended King Ferdinand VII. should
dismiss his Ministers, originally included the
dismissal also of the Generals in command of
the corps tisarrotSe, destined to protect the Spanish
territory ; but the King had candour enough to
toll tl►e Projector that this demand was too much,
such men us Minn, Abisbal, Hallasteros, &c.
being the idols of the people ; undisguisedly add-
ing, that were he to propose such a measure, in
the agitated state of the public mind, the conse-
quences might be extremely serious to more per.
'sons than himself, as it would be interpreted in-
ton positive co,operation with the French.
This explanation excluded the Generals in ques-
tion from the attempt afterwards confined to the
dismissal of the Ministers, in which the King
experienced such insuperable obstacles through
tin► firmness and unanimity of the people.—(ibid.)

[NEW TIMES.]
A. Mail was received yesterday from Lisbon,
bringing Papers of that capital to the 20th ult.
The impression which was ;made by. their con-
tents was rather unfavourable ; and Consols,
which in the early part of the day had opened
at 74, declined before the close to 731. For our
awn part, we have never been among those who
felt much alarm on the subject of Portugal. Tha
revolutionary party in the Cortes of that country
appear to have carried a very foolish Decree,
purporting that du invasion of Spain should
: considered as an, invasion of Portugal. Upon
what principle is this to be justified ? Nobody has
threatened Portugal ; and if the Portuguese
choose to remain quiet, nobody will threaten
them. England has declared her firm determi-
Station to defend Portugal from aggression ; but
it is extremely absurd to suppose that this decla-
ration pledges us to support the Portuguese in
making an unprovoked attack on France. The
threat of such a measure, on the part of Portu-
Vtl, is ridiculous : it is a Cock-sparrow pecking ,
at au Eagle ; and in point of principle the preco-
dent, would ,be doubly injurious ; for if Portugal
liargo to war for the mere support of republican
principles in another country, surely Russia,
Austria, or Prussia might as justly go to war for
the propagation of monarchical principles in P0r-
,t401.7-The Lisbon Orators talk. very largely of
raising an army of 60,0(:10 men, a militia, and a
'National Guard, besides 'carrying on the war in
which they are already engaged with the Empire
of Brazil. llot all this cannot be done without
money : and money they have not got. They
therefore propose the old remedy—a Loan !
And with Spanish Scrip at 30, it is perhaps
supposed that we may be willing to give 60
for Portuguese Scrip ! Thank Heaven! the flay
,of delusion is past : and if the Portuguese Army
cannot march into Spain (as we are pretty sure it
tittinnt) without English money, it will remain
undisturbed within its own frontiers.

R
MONING HERALD.]
IVlonday's !'aria Papers were received last
night 11 express; they contain no news what•
ever horn Spain, and they contain scarcely any...
thing interesting of a domestic nature. Tho
chief topic of discussion in them is the proposed
expulsion of M. Manuel, which appears to have
produced some popular excitation in Paris. This

Deputy,- accompanied by M. Lafite and General
Gerard, were attended by a croud, shouting,
"Vice Manuel," and were saluted by those
who met them on their way from the Cham-
ber of Deputies, across the bridge, and over
the Place de Louis XV., to the Rue Rivoli.
The gates to the Tuilleries garden were closed,
and, according to a journal, one of the military
posts charged with ball cartridges at their ap-
proach. The Journal des Debuts contains a long
and laboured eulogy and justification of the
Ministers Villele and Corbieres, against the
dissident Ultras, La Bourdoniiaye and Delalot,
who have so violently attacked them in the
Chamber.

[BRIT ISIS muss.]
We have received, by express, the Paris Pa-
pers of Sunday and Monday. The Papers of
Sunday are occupied with protracted columns of
the continued debate on the Report of the Ultra,
La Bourdonnaye, from the Commission appointed
to proscribe M. Manuel, and exclude him from
the Chamber. This Report was presented and
framed, of course, against the patriotic Deputy
whom it was intended to denounce; and, strange
to say, the precedent of proscription adopted
by this fanatic band of Royalists is derived from
the days of terror in the Convention, when
Roberspierre carried his sweeping denunciations,
and the whole party of the Gironde were pro-
scribed. Amid the whole of this outrageous
mockery M. Manuel has borne himself with the
most cutting coolness. While the Report sanc-
tioning his exclusion was reading, the patriotic
Deputy entered the ball with a Royalist Journal
in his hand, which he continued to peruse with
the greatest sang froid. On the reporter coin-
ing to that passage of the precious document
which stated, 6' that the Chamber had not only
the right, but was bound to suspend from his
functions and exclude from its bosom, M. Ma-
nuel, Deputy of the Arrondissement of Fonte-
nay, if it decides that in pronouncing the speech
which forms the subject of accusatiow he has corn.
promised the honourable character of a loyal and
frithful Deputy, and the dignity of a Chamber
devoted to the King and to the Constitutional
Monarchy"—M. Manuel burst into laughter,
and interrupted the reporter while be re-
turned to several of his friends. After a
scene of violent tumult, agitation and disor-
der, such as marked all the previous sittings
on this disgraceful proposition, it was decided,
,amid the greatest uproar, that the final propo-
; sition for the expulsion of the Deputy of La
Vendee should be discussed on Monday, at the
opening of the Chamber.

,[MORNING POST.]
Our Readers will recollect the noise and bustle
which were attempted to be' raised a few months
since by the imputation upon the Admiralty of
having neglected to provide for the protection of
commerce against piratical depredations in the
American seas. This subject was brought
before the House of Commons on Tuesday
night, when, upon due explanation, the mist
was completely dispelled. It was satisfac-
torily shewn that the security of the British
Commerce had been the anxious care not
only of the Admiralty, but of the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, who had to conduct a
negotiation with the Government of a friendly
State, previously to the adoption of measures
more efficacious for the protection of commerce
than a naval force alone could have been.
The attack upon the Admiralty comprehended,
indeed, the still heavier and more absurd impu-
tation, of having communicated false intelligence
as to the stations of our naval force to the com-
mercial classes, by which their enterprises might
have been misled, and their most important in-
terests endangered. We well recollect the tri.
umphant language of certain Party Journals upon
this subject, a period when Parliament was not
assembled; but now that it has fairly been brought
forward, the artifices of faction are exposed, and
the delusion completely dispelled. It will be
recollected that a correspondence between the
Admiralty and the Committe at Lloyd's, which
was abruptly broken of by the latter upon a
point of etiquette, gave occasion at the time to
the senseless clamour of our cotereporaries, which
it has since been feebly attempted to revive.--
We can add nothing to the force of those facts, or
of that argument and ridicule, by which the
attempt has been overwhelmed in Parliament ;
but we cannot help condemning the blind avidity
with which faction grasps at any subject of
accusation. Government could have no interest
in opposition to that of the Merchants; to
withhold due protection, therefore, and above all
to impart false intelligence, would have been
gratuitous, and consequently improbable crimes ;
and, besides, it ought surely not to have been
forgotten, that both the conduct and the disclo-
sures of Government were to be in some degree
regulated by the attentions and respect always
due to foreign and independent States, and more
particularly in the peculiar circumstances of
Spain, from a generous and honourable people.

late PRINCE CHANCELLOR of Russia, from a
feeling of respect, has declined to inherit the

Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Friday
night lasts the watchman in Ladywell Street,
Glasgow, observing a person' carrying a large
bundle on his back, seized him, when he dis-
covered that it . contained a dead body ;
tw, with the body, and another young man,
whom they found in the neighbourhood, and
suspected to be an accomplice, were carried to
the Police Office. The body has been ascerr
tamped to be that of an inkle,Weaver,
vannah' Street, who was buried on Thursday
last in the High Church-yard. A dissecting;.
room in Duke-Street, adjoining Bridewell, was
on Saturday morning entered by a mob, where
they found a number of fragments of human
bodies, which were all carried to Bridewell, and
locked up in a cell, under the orders of one of
the Magistrates.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS,MARCII 3.—lt is stated that the Duchess

d'Angouieme will immediately set out for Bor-
deaux, and on her way pass through the depart-
ments composing the ci-devant provinces of
Poitou and Bri tanny.—(Constitulionnel.)
The Courier FranFais contains the following
article The Chamber of Commerce of Ilavre

has communicated to the shipowners of that port
a letter received from the Minister of the Ma-
rine. The letter requests the merchants to adopt
all measures of precaution calculated to hasten
the return of the ships which are at sea, and to
make them steer for Brest. They are also ad.
vised to suspend any fresh shipments, regret
being at the same time expressed, that an earlier
notice could not be given. The anxiety excited
by such an intimation may be easily conceived.
The purchase on the same day of all the pitch in
the port, was a circumstance which contributed
in no slight degree to increase the sensation.—

This purchase, which was made on account al
England, seems to indicate preparations whicli
may well justify the alarm of the merchants."
- The journal de Toulouse states the two follow.

ing facts, which give reason to believe that the
presence of the bands of the Faith, in the neigh-
bourhood of the frontiers, has not been so well
relished by the inhabitants as by the local autho-
rities:---" The (2.7 th January several inhabitants
of the Commune of Chaum, near St. Beal, assem-
bled under the windows of the house of Madame
de l3ezers, occupied by the wife of Baron
d'Eroles. Two individuals amongst them sung
the Spanish song la Tragula, shouting Vive la
Constitution! most aux Baptista! These two
persons were brought before the Tribunal of St.
Gaudens, which on the 13th of February con-
demned one to one month's imprisonment, and
the other to eight days, and both to pay the ex-
pences. The same day the Tribunalsentenced
to 16 francs fine and expences two other inha-
bitants of Chaum, for having used injurious ex-
pressions against the soldiers of the Faith on the
29th January last.—(Courier Francais.)
After the close of the sitting of the Chamber
last Saturday, a body of idlers formed a circle at
the gate of the garden Patois Bourbon, and re-
mained half an hour to see the Deputies come
out. M. Manuel appeared one of the last • he
walked arm in arm with M. Lafitte and Gen.
Gerard. The crowd immediately set itself in
motion, and marched in the train of those Hon.
Members. The most respectful among them
walked uncovered with their hats in their hands.

After having crossed the Bridge of la Concorde,
the procession entered the place of the Revolu-
tion, and moved in the direction of the Garden
of the Tuileries. The Keepers of the Garden
seeing a crowd of ill-looking individuals approach,
hastened to close the gates, in order to prevent
them from penetrating to the habitation of our
Kings. The Royal Guard was immediately
called out, and ranged in order of battle in the
Garden. At tbis aspect the Liberal party halted
on the very place where the Revolution con-
summated the most horrible of crimes. This
recollection did not probably escape the indi-
viduals who composed the crowd ; for loud cries
of " Vivo Manuel" bnrst from among them
But as a closed gate appeared a bad omen to the
Honourable Deputy of the Vendee, those Gentle-
,
men made their way to the Rue de Rivoli. M.
Manuel was escorted home by his honourable
friends and the Liberal crowd, who frequently
repented the cries of 44 Vive Manuel !"--" Vive
le Depute de la Vendeel"—(t'luolidienne.)
TRIESTE, FEB. 10.—We have letters from the
Morea, of the 3d inst. The Greek troops em-
ployed at the siege of Napoli di Romania sepa-
rated after its reduction. A considerable corps
proceeded to Patras to push the siege of the
Castle with more vigour. Another corps pro.
ceeded to Corinth. Pietro Bey, Chief of the
Mainotes, having determined to chase away the
Turks who were still in Acarnania, has embarked
with his troops, passed the Gulf of Lepanto, and
landed at Missolunghi, from whence he expects
to enter Epirus. Affairs begin to assume
regular shape in the Morea, and the inhabi-
tants are animated with the greatest entho-
siasm for liberty. Great magazines were found
at Napoli di Romania, which served a's a dept
for the merchandizo of the Levant. All the
Turkish property has been sold for the benefit
of the Greek Government.
The Russian Consul at Bucharest has not
passed the Turkish frontiers, but has hired a
house for six months at liermanstadt.
PERPIGNAN, FEB. 21.—Misas arrived yester.
day at La Maniere.
An estafette arrived at one o'clock yesterday
morning, from Toulouse, with dispatches for the
Mayor of Sigeau, who immediately sent an ex-
press to Leucati. General Berges has set out
for Narbonne, to visit the park of artillery.
Several corps of artillery and cavalry have suc-
cessively arrived here. On the other side of the
Pyrenees, the preparations for war are not less
active.
The recruits levied in Le Paillas and La
Conque de Tremp have been incorporated in the
regiments of the line in the arrondissement of
La Seth Several companies of Miquelets are
organising in Upper Catalonia.
BARCELONA, FEL 18.—General Mina arrived
here yesterday ; he reviewed the troops, and was
received with loud accarnations. The corps
defiled before the stone of the Constitution. The
civil and military authorities gave a grand repast
to the General in the evening.
