is not, therefore, justified in saying that the London
press was indifferent to the measure. We cannot
help observing, too, that his lament over this Act,
as being passed in consequence of the existence of
an United Parliament, was particularly nzal-a-propos,
upon an occasion when a large portion of the Mem-
bers who supported him were English, and more
than half the representatives from Ireland were op-
posed to him. It is but fair to suppose that a free
Parliament in Duhl'n would have been equally
against him. What would be the value of a Par-
liament not freely expressing its sentiments no one
could better describe than himself, were it a ques-
tion of any Parliament in which he was not to be
the guiding spirit.

The official and private accounts from Oporto,
which we have seen, add little information to that
which appears in the columns of our Morning Con-
temporaries, the Times and Herald. There is a let-
ter in town, from Marshal SOLIGNAC, expressing his
high satisfaction at the conduct of the troops, par-
ticularly the Scotch, on the 4th inst., and stating
that he has not the slightest doubt of being enabled
in a short time to assume the offensive. One of
the most gratifying facts communicated from Oporto
is the amendment in the conduct of the authorities
towaids the foreign auxiliaries. When Colonel
HODGES was in Oporto he was compelled to re-
monstrate frequently against the cruel negligence of
some of the Portuguese authorities, and at one tire;
under the influence of indignation at seeing the
privations which the British and French troops
were unnecessarily sustaining, he preferred a direct
charge against some of the Ministers, without, how-
ever, producing the slightest effect. Since the arrival
of Marshal SOLIGNAC there has been no just cause
for complaint.
It has been remarked, in some of the English
papers, that Marshal SotadNac ought to have fol-
lowed up his successes of the 4th inst., as it was
known that a large body of Miguelites were waiting
for an opportunity to join the Constitutionalists.
It is certainly true that accounts had been received,
from the Miguelite lines, of such a disposition being
felt by two regiments, but the Pedroites had been
so frequently deceived by false information of this
kind, that they thought it wiser to keep within their
fortifications, unprovided as they were with provi-
sions, to sustain an open campaign, anti almost des-
titute of ammunition foi. a single battle. That a
great portion of the Miguelite army will join the
Constitutionalists on the first favourable opportu-
nity, is pretty certain ; but after the trick played
Dun PEDRO by his brother, by metres of a forged
letter, inviting him to send an agent to treat for the
surrender of ti e Miguelite fleet, he cannot be too
cautious. The safe game is at present the sure one.
Should the expected reinforcements arrive in time, the
Constitutionalists will be in Li-bon before the
expiration of another three month.. As to the feel-
ing of the people, we are assured by persons who
have no wish to conceal the truth, or exaggerate the
p ospects of the Pedroites, that they are by no
means so attached to absolutism as most persons in
this country suppose. In Oporto all are Constitu-
tionalists ; and out of Oporto, two out of four are
only waiting for a safe opportunity of abandoning
the standard of the Usurper. The wretchedly ig-
norant, and they are, we are sorry to say, a nume-
rous class in Portugal, care little for either side, so
Log as they can live in idleness and filth. The
educated are, with few exceptions, in favour of a
Constitution; so are all mercantile men. The di-
rect supporters of MIGUEL are those who share in
the spoliation of the respectable classes, or who,
thinking PEDRO too weak to succeed, are afraid to
declare themselves, lest in his reverses they should
draw upon themselves the terrible vengeance which
the Usurper never fails to heap upon those who
abandon his cause.

New York Papers have been received, dated the
23d February, and Philadelphia Papers, dated the
21st February. The only extracts of interest will
be found in another column.

Up to the hour of our going to prtss Colonel
EVANS had not decided as to whether he would
contest the City of Westminster with Sir JOHN
HOBHOUSE, or not. The arrangements of S;rJoHN
flostrousE ha. e been so well made, and his friends
have been so actively at work, that, if the Colonel
should stand, he would have to contend with many
difficulties.

We have received letters from Vigo to the 15th
inst. The fleet of Dan PEDRO was still there, and,
wt regret to state, there was very little prospect of
its giving any effective assistance to the Constitu-
tional cause until the arrears, or at least a portion of
them, due to the crews should be paid. There was
great dissatisfaction among the crews, and it had
been greatly heightened by the information which
had reached Vigo of the intention to supersede
Admiral SARTORIUS and appoint Captain CROTBIE
to the command. As the intention of superseding
the Admiral was supposed by his officers and men
to have been founded on the earnest remonstrances
which he had made against the delay in paying the
seamen, he had become very popular with them, and
there was every reason to believe that if the inten-
tion were to be persisted in, a general mutiny would
take place against the Constitutional Government,
which would prevent the co-operation of the fleet.
No official account of the superseding of the Admiral
had reached him; but he was well aware of what
was passing in the Counciis of Don PEDRO, and
determined, it seems, to retain the command until the
wages of the seamen should be paid.
