to be totally incapable of takirg any straightfufalts,

put upon the words equality and reciprocity ~e°.%

tF em the meaning of reciprocity is, that
tug ese commoditi 's in England should pay °Sr,
actly the ' clime We per cent. of import duty al
exacted on English goods in Portugal, and it is in tins
spirit, it is understood, the draft of the treaty handed to
her Majesty's Ambassador has been framed. In order fa
test the advantage dcrivalle to Great Britain from thia
kind of reciprocity, a case has heel put, which is, in 1.4.4,
oae of a strictly practical nature. A tun of port vela
is argued, is sent to England, pays 100 per cent. ad l'a°;
rent duty, and yet finds a ready sale—first, becauke
tf
English have familiarised thethseltet with the use "d
the impure and unwholesome bettgfil, find on 0%0
to pay a high price for it ; secondly, Yeeett,

there can be no competition to depreciaC its Via:
lue. A base of goods, on the other band, salt
Portugal, if subjected to a duty of 100 per cen,'
could not be said otherwise than at a heavy loss---firs"
Lecause the Portuguese could not afford to pay for thee
at so increased a charge; and, secondly, b. cause
competition from France, Switzerland, and other las°-;
facturin countries would prevent them from maintainina
a saving price in the market. An admirable kind
(iarocity this would be for Great a i'ain. The conduct
Portugal is extraordinary, for, favoured and ptoteeted
she has been in (vary possible way by this coudifj;
object of the Governnn nt is evidently to exclude et;
fairies from her ports. Wth the assumption of an
of tl.c utmost disinterestedness, a treaty is off. rad le!,
our acceptance which must have been concocted I°'
that and no other purpose. No sooner • was Dif
Miguel expelled from the throne by means of 191.
fish arms, British capital, and British influence, thandla
was discovered that the Tr e ty of 1810 was too favourn
to our interests, and that it must be canceled. A Ito's:
bonds were sent into the London marks t, for which a
was obtained exceeding the average cost of our owl, s'
curities; a bankruptcy was the next step taken; then
pudent advertisements, announcing the buying up 1113
cancelment of bonds at a frurh of the cost, not even ',,;
eluding the interest, were put into the papers; and fins';',
a most iniquitous compromise of the remainder was °I:
attempted by these sicklers for reciprocity and equal'
the home creditor being all the while duly taken c,r,e;°„'s
The equality and reciproc:ty principle, and the coalti°l)-„
of treaties with respect to the slave-trade, have been r
served by Portugal with about the Fame fiderty stager,
financial engagements. In the hands of the 1:1-3,
tuguese the inhuman traffic appears to be more floar's,,,
ing than ever. Their ships laden with wretched negl-cis
are to be met with at every point of the Western 1,1,,
and in the event of chase being given to them by her,b;
jesty's cruisers, there is no hesitation on the part 0.
piratical commanders, to throw L few hundreds of then
overboard into the sea as a means of lightening the yet;
Fel, and escaping with the remainder. The treatfarnbt
by Portugal of the poor English soldiers who flutgce
her battles, and secured the object for which leks't
bat lea were waged, has been more ungrateful,
scarcely less cruel ; and the only conclusion to ,cb'cict
we can come concerning her is, that the respect Psio
her by the English Government has been such sksb
givtaber a notion of la r own importance out of caber.springs a degree of insolence and injustice that are P°
fectly insufferable. The remedies for all this are, he!...
ever, so many and so Fasy of application that it is su
is rpilo't
ing the effect of none of them has been tried. It „nip
necessary that we should close our ports against the °-b3s
staple of Portugal, the wire so studiously avoided
every other people, and of which we consume 27,000 PiPc_
annually out of 32,000 ; or that we should withdraw frail
our engagement to protect her from foreign invasion, !Tor
but for which:she would at the present time be an if4er
province of Spain.
Lord Palmerston has been told before now that he haa
only to " hold up his finger" to put all right, and we
licve it. •
