colleagues. Since that time, Lord ALTHORk'
has written a letter to the deputation, which, we
hear, completely destroys the hope that they had
begun to entertain of receiving his support.
Whether Mr. ATTWOOD'S motion will be per-
severed in we have not heard.

An address has been received from the Polish
Association in Paris, to the Polish Association
in this country, thanking them for their sym-
pathy and support. With this address several
medals, struck in Switzerland, have also been re-
ceived. We regret to state that the French Go-
vernment had prohibited their being struck in
France, although there is nothing more objec-
tionable than the words a la Poloo-neheroique."
Thus, whilst the Duke of BROGLIE and his
colleagues talk to the Chambers of his symyathy
for Poland, they crouch to the tyrant who has
massacred so many thousands of her inhabitants,
and refuse to permit even a medal to be struck
commemorative of her misfortune. It is quite
time for a change in such a Ministry.

The following appears in the Times of this

morning :

" It gives us great pain to announce, that the most alarming
news possible for the cause of Don Pedro had arrived from
Oporto. if the details which we look for with apprehension
to-day confirm the general report of last night, we make no
doubt that the Emperor has by this time abandoned Portugal,
and that the troops of his brother Miguel are in possession of
Oporto. If such be the case, we hope that a capitulation, which
the Constitutionalists were entitled to demand from the regular
army of Don Miguel, has prevented the sack and massacre
which must have followed the furious entrance of the Guerillas."
Our impression on perusing this article was,
that accounts had been received yesterday from
Oporto of a later date than those already pub-
lished by the Times, but after the most diligent
inquiry, we have not been able to ascertain that
any such have arrived. We are sorry, however,
to fim,d, that the last accounts from Oporto to
our Government are sufficiently unfavourable
to the Constitutional cause to warrant the ex-
prctation of decisive news in favour of Don
MIGUEL. At the date of the last official re-
port to Lord PALMERSTON, the stock of pro-
visions was reduced so low as to render it
impossible for the Constitutionalists to hold
out without speedy succour. The salt fish
was nearly gone, and animal food was so scarce
that malty had been compelled to resort to horse-
flesh, it being necessary to keep up strengli
with a more solid food than rice. A little fleet
laden with provisions was, indeed, near at hand,
but the enemy had been permitted to draw so
formidable a line of circumvallation, that it
would be impossible to effect a landing of these
stores without a desperate fight, the chances of
which were, it was feared, unfavourable to the
Constimtrionalists, who were neither numerically
nor physically a match for their opponents.
The only hope, therefore, lay in that " vigour of
despair" which is sometimes manifested under
similar circumstances to those in which the
Pedroites were placed.
It is proper to state, that in anticipation of
time failure of Don PEDRO, orders were' some
time since sent out by Government for the ac-
cotnunodation of Don PEDRO and his suite
on board a British ship, in the event of his
defeat.

We have just ascertained, that up to one
o'clock this day, no inrormation had -been re-
ceived at the Portuguese Embassy from Oporto,
or at the Foreign-office, of a later" date ,than
the accounts to which we - have alluded
above. We therefore hope that the report in
circulation last night of the defeat of Don PEDRO,
and his having taken refuge on board a British
ship of , war, is, utterly unfounded. We
have been. able to trace this report to a Noble
L rd, who, has taken a very conspicuous part in
favour of Dun MIGUEL .

• The resignation of Mr. PORTMAN has.
brought forward among other candidates for the
borough of Marylebone, Messrs. HOPE and
MURRAY. Of the former Gentleman it is quite
enough to say that he is a Tory in the ne ;As
ultra sense of the term—a chip of the old ELDON
Week. During the protracted struggle for Reform,
Mr. HOPE iovartably voted with the Ultras, and
even up to the eleventh hour remained constant
to his heresy, or hallucination, or whatever other
alias our reade's may be pleased to give
it. -On the other hand, Mr. MURRAY
is a Reformer, and of the useful, practical
school. He is an advocate for many. of the
most popular and valuable public measures
of the day, and, above all, professes himself to
be a strict, uncompromising economist. We
hope the electors of Marylebone will not omit
to institute a. rigid comparison between the rela-
tive n-writs of the two candidates, and bestow
the apple on the worthiest. To help them in
this good task, we subjoin a list of Mr. HOPE'S
votes on the Reform Question :
Nov. 15, 1530:—In the minority for referring the Civil List
Bill to a Select Committee.

March 9.1, 1831 w—ln the minority against the second reading

of the first Reform Bill.
April 19.—in the majority on General Gascoigne's motion

against Reform.
July 6.—ln the minority against the second reading of the Re.

form Bin.
Sept. =-1n the minority against the passing of the Reform

Bill.
Dec. 17.—1 n the minority against the second reading of the
present Reform Bill. _ _

Feb. 18.32.—1 n the minority against giving the elective fran
chise to the metropolitan boroughs.
