GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA: SEPT' 11—We understand that the two Em-
perors will remain together at 11unchengratz for eight
flays at least. Our Monarch will probably invite his
august ally to the grand reviews of a large body of troops
which are assembled near Turas, in Moravia. The state-
ment of foreign journals, that this is the first time the
Emperors ever met is not quite correct, as the Em-
peror Nicholas was at Vienna, when Grand Duke, at the
time of the Congress of 1814, but being then very young,
could of course make no figure. In expectation of coin-
ing events, the moneyed men are seized with a panic, which
is increased by the report of a loan, that Austria is said
to have in contemplation. The speculators are much
inclined to bring the meetings at Schwedt and
Munchengratz, from which a Congress at Troppau may
result, in opposition to Louis Philip's journey to
Cherbourg, where he would confer with some
distinguished Englishmen. It would be foolish
to pretend to anticipate the future, but it may be
pre-
sumed with some probability, events i that the
a main object of thenAlll

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1833.

By the French papers of Tuesday, it appears
from accounts from the south and west of
France, that an expectation was entertained of
the Duchess de BERRY again attempting
a landing on the Provence coast. The utmost
vigilance was being used to prevent her success,
should she be bold enough to hazard it.

The German Papers state that the two
Emperors will remain together at Munchengratz
for at least eight days, and that the events in the
Spanish Peninsula will be a prominent subject
for deliberation. They also throw out a sort of
semi-official hint, that England has put herself
too forward as respects Spanish affairs, but that
she now appears to be gradually recovering her
senses !

The conduct of the iVliguelite junta in this
city, when they re-landed and re-sold the mate-
riel they had purchased and shipped—and dis-
missed the seamen, and others whom they had
enlisted into the service of the usurper of
Portugal, added to the contents of some confi-
dential letters from that country, induced, a few
weeks since, a well-founded belief that the
faction of legitimatistsbegan to have their doubts
as to the result of the contest in which they
were engaged. They boasted they had the
whole population of the kingdom in their favour
—a boast which was repeated by individuals in
both Houses of Parliament, who ought to have
known better. But how has the boast been veri-
fied ? With a population little short of three
millions, MIGUEL was unable to draw together
a force adequate to the delivery of Oporto from
the hands of its honourable oppressors. The
force within the lines of Oporto, we believe,
never exceeded fifteen thousand men, of all arms
and conditions—the city was besieged for
upwards of fourteen months, its inhabitants sub-
jected to plague, pestilence, and famine. Did
these advance the cause of the usurper ? Far
from•
it
; it only made the friends of the charter

The result was most glorious for • the assailed ; the
siege of Oporto was raised, the ri •
ver Douro
once more admitted freely the shippinc, of the
world, and commerce is already resuming its
usual activity. BOURNIONT and his dispirited
troops took the road to the southward—a con-

centration of the whole force was the order of
the day, and an attempt to retake Lisbon, and
punish the opponents of despotism and usurpa-

tion was the ostensible determination of MIGUEL
and his chiefs. We say ostensible, while at the
same time we believe the real intention, (and the
private accounts alluded to confirm our belief,)
was to make such an effective demonstration of
force, in front of Lisbon, as to alarm the Con-
stitutionalists, and thus obtain advantageous
terms for themselves and their followers.
A cloud still hangs over the accounts which
were current after the arrival of the Echo
steamer ; and notwithstanding the official tone
given to a leading article in an Evening Con-
temporary of Wednesday, we are not inclined to
disbelieve the substance of the reports which
have prevailed.
No direct propositions possibly were made
by the Miguelites ; but we ask, did not Colonel
HARE, under flags of truce, several times visit
the head-quarters of Don MIGUEL or General
BOURMONT ? Was not the substance of the
communications which took place at those meet-
ings made known to Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL ?
and did not his Lordship, together with Colonel
HARE, wait upon Don PEDRO, and make
known to the Regent the substance of what had
passed with General Bouttmowr? We have

had an intimation of Don PEDRO'S reply, and of
certain questions put by the Duke of BRAGANZA
to Lord WILLIAM. Don PEDRO had no
wish for the interference of any Foreign Power,
particularly when he considered the advantageous
position in which his army stood, which induced
him to believe the game was his own.

That General BOURMONT will continue the
contest as long as he can may be true, but we
again ask, will he do so for the sake of Don
MIGUEL—for the benefit of his faction ? We
answer, no further than shall be necessary for
Carlist views—for supporting those principles
which united him with the Duchess of BERRI.
General BOURMONT is fully aware of the state
of the King of SPAIN'S health, and, with CoR.
DOVA at his elbow, he hopes to be prepared for
anything which may occur.
The hostility of the Wellington Administra-
tion to liberal opinions—its friendly feeling to-
wards Don MIGUEL and his myrmidons, are too
well known to require any comments at this period
of the struggle. What has been the line of
conduct of the Administration which displaced
that of the Duke ? The Ministers may have
shut their eyes to the outfit of the vessels of
war purchased for Don PEDRO—they may have
winked at the recruiting which has taken place—
but they have so constantly reiterated the word

NON-INTERFERENCE, that if they have, On one

hand, afforded a species of negative assistance,
their extraordinary conduct, on the other, has
tended in an eminent degree (could the deter-
mination of Don PEDRO and his friends have
been weakened or changed) to paralyze the efforts
which have been made, and are now making, to
secure a liberal charter and constitution to the

fine country of Portugal.
We have seen recent private letters from
Lisbon, reiterating the wish to form the closest
connexion with Great Britain,—to renew the

most amicable relations,—and to adopt a libera

commercial reciprocity, favourable to both coun-
tries ; indeed, we know that Don PEDRO and

his present Ministers are ready and willing to

place England in the same advantageous posi-
tion in which it was at the commencement of the

present contest. But in admitting thus much,
the leading Constitutionalists frankly state they
are under few obligations for any direct or
effective assistance received from any foreign
Power whatever. If they succeed—and of success
they entertain not the shadow of a doubt—they
feel that it will be owing to their own exertions—
to their own resources—and to their own deter-

mination to conquer or perish in the struggle,
The great assistance received from foreign troops
engaged in their service—an assistance frankly
and honourably acknowledged—they say was
obtained by their own efforts, and paid for with
with their own money.

The principle of Lord PALMERSTON may
have been a good one—non-interference is a
fine sounding word—but it should be fairly
acted upon. The Portuguese might have been
told, " We wish you every success, but we will
not interfere ourselves—nor will we permit any
other power to do so." Unfortunately, almost
every act of our Government has been anything
but favourable to the gallant efforts making in
favour of liberty. Was it wise to withdraw Mr.
HOPPNER at such a moment as that when he
was recalled ? We know not ; we never saw that
gentleman ; but the meetings at Lisbon, as
well of Portuguese, as of English, clearly show
the estimation in which he was held. The only
similar compliment, paid by the Portuguese, was,
we believe, to his Grace of WELLINGTON;
but, as to Mr. HOPPNER, they have even gone
further, for a subscription among the Portuguese
is in progress at Lisbon to purchase, and present
him with, a piece of plate.
We are aware of the fine, honourable feelings,
and amiability of Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL ;
we never can obliterate from our recollection
the debt owed by every Englishman to the
scions of that House ; but this was not the
time to send such a Nobleman to Lisbon.
With his Lordship, Don PEDRO will, no
doubt, diplomatically communicate ; but it will,
it must be, in that character alone. With Mr.
HOPPNER, the same communication would
have taken place ; but a feeling of kindness,
of friendship, of sincerity, would have been
substituted for that formal mid cold conduct
too generally displayed in diplomatic circles.
We repeat, the recall was ill-timed—was ill-
judged. Mr. HOPPNER enjoyed the confidence
of all classes, from the gallant chief—from the
energetic Don PEDRO—to the lowest enzploye—
from the foreign and the national merchant to
the tradesman and shopkeeper.
We know the feeling which has been generated
by our vacillation : the Portuguese consider
they now stand upon the " vantage ground ;" and
having few thanks to return, they are entitled t o
look upon Great Britain as they would upon

any other country ; but we repeat, and we repeat
it with much pleasure, the Government at Lis-
bon is most anxious to consolidate the old ties
of friendship and commerce on a solid basis,
and still to look to England as their old, their
true, and their best friend and ally. On the
other hand, they say, "Non-interference has been
your dictum v%ith reference to the struggle
between usurpation and legitimate right—between
tyranny and freedom—between a liberal consti-
tution and a despotic rule. We therefore depend,
nay, we require, that the same non-interference
shall be continued and practised as to our own
internal affairs—that, as you decided upon not
interfering during the struggle, you shall not
interfere when once that struggle shall be ended,
and our victory complete. The little sympathy
you felt for us in 1820 made the despots of
Europe more hostile to the revolution which was
then effected. Your interference in 1826 ren-
dered it necessary, nay, it obliged you, to send
us troops to cure the evil of which you had
been the cause. In 1828 those very same troops
prevented our chastising the Usurper, and behold
the train of ills which have desolated the land."

We insert a report of the visit of the Solicitor-
General, Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, to his Dudley
constituents, highly creditable to their represen-
tative ; because, however a Member of Parlia-
ment may have conformed to his pledged prin-
ciples, or acted in his legislative capacity con-
sistently with the political sentiments of those
who delegated the trust, men of all opinions
must respect the propriety, and estimate the
utility, of this interchange of views. It cannot
fail also to act as a spur to the representative,
since there are always honest. and patriotic men in
a large community to talk plainly with their Mem-
ber. We do not doubt that the Dudley electors in.
formed Sir J. CAMPBELL that the pension lists
and enormous taxation of the country must be
cut down. They would also jog his memory
that the duration of Parliaments must be re-
duced, and that the detected corruption of the
unsound constituency, and the sinful Peers who
traffic in the franchise of Commoners, must meet
with exemplary punishment in the next session
of Parliament. The enlightened sentiments
thus publicly expressed by the SOLICITOR-
GENERAL are highly honourable to his libe-
rality and discernment. The members of the
Established Church, and the Dissenters of Eng-
land and Wales, are determined that the latter
shall not be robbed to support a Church to
which they do not belong. If Sir Join.'
CAMPBELL deprecates the refusal of church
rates, now fashionable in all the towns, we differ
from him in this view, making some allowance
for his " official" dictation. The rate-payers
fortunately hold the purse strings, and they would
be great donkeys if they longer submitted to
carry their disagreeable panniers. By refusal
to pay, they impose on the Legislature the
necessity of providing a substitute for this
expiring tax, and also of giving some legislative
plan for preventing misappropriation. By this
straightforward course of refusal, this unprinci-
pled rate will die a natural death ; and it be-
hoves his Majesty's Ministers to take imme-
diate measures on the subject of church rates
and tithes, lest the establishment should fall
down from its own weakness in the mouldering,
of the party walls ! We hope, where represen-
tatives do not present themselves before their
several constituencies, as Sir JOHN CAMPBELL
has done, that the electors will send for them, as
they must be members standing in need of poli-
tical lectures.

Mr. O'CONNELL, we perceive, has again
commenced a series of epistolary exhortations to
the people of Ireland. In his first letter, which
is now lying before us, he confines himself, for
the most part, to the question of tithes, which
he advises ail his countrymen instantly to
petition against in the most energetic manner
that the law allows. With this advice we can find
no fault. On the contrary, we think it reflects
the highest credit on the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman. None knows better than he where
the Irish shoe pinches, and none is more
capable of providing an efficient remedy. As
an opponent of the Irish tithe system, Mr.
O'CONNELL is, as he deserves to be, all
but Omnipotent, and would he confine
himself to the remedying of such barefaced
practical grievances, there is no calculating
the amount of national benefit he might be
the means of entailing on his countrymen. We
are rejoiced to perceive in this letter that Mr.
O'CONNELL makes little or no mention of re-
peal. He seems inclined, if not exactly to
throw it overboard, at any rate to give it the
go by for a season. It is not now with
him (as it was some time since) the first
question for consideration. Ireland, he seems
to think, can now afford to wait for a domestic
Parliament. And so she can, and the longer
she waits, the better. Let Mr. O'CONNELL
but continue to preserve his present meritorious
lukewarmness on the question of Repeal, and
we shall be proud to rank ourselves among his
most fervent, certainly his most disinterested,
admirers. As an anti-tithe man l►e is strong as
Hercules ; as a repealer, l►e is

" Weaker than a woman's tear,
More helpless than unsbelter'd infancy."

Laporte is said to be in treaty with M. Boil-
dieu, the celebrated French composer (tbe author of La
Dame Blanche, &c.), for a new opera of his composition
never yet performed. hi. Boildieu has only recently re-
turned from Italy, whither he had proceeded for the reco-
very of his health. The new opera, it is added, is likely
to form one of the novelties of the ensuing season at the
King's Theatre.

Tit E OPERA AUDIENCE,--Lablache, a
conscientious singer, fr ightened by all he saw and heard at
rehearsals, begged Laporte to rescind his engagement;
r, but," said he, after making his appearance, " when I
saw the public applaud every thing that was bad and in
false taste, I discovered that my brethren were in the right
not to do better."

A FALLEN ANCCEL.--The congregation at
St. Peter's Church, Carmarthen, was thrown into consi-
derable alarm on Sunday by a tremendous crash, occasioned
by the fall of a marble figure of an angel from one of the
monuments in the church. It was fortunate that no
person was in the seat upon which it fell, as certain de-
struction would have been inevitable. The seat was crushed
to pieces by the fall.— Gloucester Chronicle.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of every description of grain this week are
moderate. The Wheat trade is dull at Monday's terms. Barley
for malting firmly maintains last quotations, but for grinding is
rather lower. Beans and Oats remain at last quoted. Pease
are still scarce, but not dearer than Monday. The Flour trade
has experienced no variation this week.
