LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1833.

The House of Commons, the only House
that sat last night, has got through the Slavery
Abolition Bill with less delay than was ex-
pected. Two divisions took place on the com-
pensation clause. The first, according to the
reports, was upon the proposition that the grant
be fifteen instead of twenty millions, when the
numbers were 157 to 27 for the larger sum.
The second was upon the original motion, which,
as far as we can make out, was to fill up the
blank with the words " twenty millions," on
which the numbers were 132 to 51. We can-
not help thinking there is some mistake here,
for the largest majority is where we should have
expected to find the smallest. A mis-
take in reporting the numbers may easily
occur from the manner in which they are
learnt by the reporters. Strangers being ordered
to withdraw, they retire into a private room,
and a messenger of the House listens at the
gallery door, left ajar for the purpose, to catch
the numbers when announced. Upon his hear-
ing and recollection depends the accuracy of the
account given to the public. This plan evi-
dently requires amendment, or indeed a com-
plete change. There were, it will be seen, one
or two other divisions, but the Government had
large majorities on all of them. The report is to
be further considered on Friday next.

We are glad to see that Sir ROBERT PEEL,
last night, pressed upon the House and the
Government the expediency of passing that
great and philanthropic measure, the Imprison-
ment for Debt Bill, this session. Although the
SOLICITOR-GENERAL was compelled to an-
nounce that parts of the system it was intended
to introduce were not yet complete, and that he
feared the Bill must be postponed to a later
period than he wished, we may augur, from the
manner in which all parties appear to take the
question up, that the present barbarous system
is certain to be abolished.

The Lords' messengers brought back the
Church Temporalities (Ireland) Bill to the Com-
mons last night. Their Lordships' amendments
are to be taken into consideration on Friday neat.
We have been informed that his Majesty's Mi-
nisters will recommend their adoption. Indeed
it cannot be supposed that they will enter upon
hostilities, on account of the changes which
their Lordships have made.

We perceive that the Earl of GLENGALL,
on Monday night, gave intimation, on present-
ing a petition from the proprietors of Covent-
garden and Drury-lane Theatres, against the
Dramatic Performances Bill, that he should op-
pose the 13ill as a direct attack on the royal
prerogative, and a gross invasion of vested rights.
As the invasion of the royal prerogative amounts
to removing all doubt as to the power of his
MAJESTY to exercise his prerogative in the mat-
ter in question, we do not see particular ground
for alarm on that score. The monopolists
of Covent-garden and Drury-lane must deny,
if they were to be consistent, ail right in his
MAJESTY, or any one else, to do any thing that
will interfere with this assumed privilege.
II
the KING has a prerogative or power he cannot
exercise, and it is desirable chat it should be
exercised, or that the effect of exercising it
should somehow or other be produced, it is for
the consideration of Parliament how the effect

should be produced. The invasion of
private rights amounts to taking what no
one ought ever to have had, and which, sup-
posing it to have been had by the patent theatres,
does not appear to have been of much advantage
to them. Had their monopoly been abolished
i n the time of GARRICK, we should now have had
our ears dinned with its having been the cause of
the decline of the drama, the ruin of the national
theatres (a taking name), the surrender of
one of them to a foreigner's concerts, and the
emigration of the company to a wood and plaster
building in a back lane of the Strand. Luckily
for the cause of reason and of common sense, the
monopoly has sunk under its own weight, and
presents us with another exemplification of the
great truth that, honesty is the best policy.
Let not the great theatres attempt to prevent
little ones getting a livelihood, and they will gain
more by the general taste for theatricals which
proper minor theatres would spread, than they
can do by being the sole dispensers of amuse-
ment arising from "the legitimate drama."
Whether the Earl of GLENGALL will be
strongly supported or not in the Upper House
we cannot pretend to say, but we should hope
their Lordships will pay greater respect to the
petitions presented to them in favour of the Bill,
than needlessly to interfere with the amusements
of the people.

We have been favoured with the perusal of a
letter written by one of the Ministers of the
Portuguese Regency to a friend here, and dated
on the evening of the 25th, at Oporto, in which

he states that the defeat of the Mignelites under
General BOURMONT, acting as Commander-
in-Chief, had been complete, and that no
apprehension was entertained at Oporto,
where all the troops and inhabitants were in
high spirits. No official accounts of the affair
of the 25th have yet been received at the Por-
tuguese Embassy.

We understand that official accounts have
been received at the Foreign-office, of the entry
of the Constitutionalists into St. Übes.

By the Flanders mail we have received Brussels
and German papers, which, however, contain
not the slightest news of importance.

We have received the following intelligence
7rom our correspondent at Oporto :

" LISBON, JULY 22.—Napier arrived off Cabo de Espichel
yesterday, with two ships of the line, three frigates, two cor-
vettes, two brigs, and four gun-boats. It is believed that he
will enter the Tagus in the course of a few days, as it is known
that he has landed men on the coast, and made every prepara-
tion for attack. Yesterday morning the Government received
a telegraphic despatch, announcing that the Constitutionalists
had entered in great force Alcour de Sal, and there taken
possession of the money which had been sent from Lisbon to
pay the troops of the Viscount de Mollellos, who had become
clamorous for their arrears. Another telegraphic despatch in
the evening announced that the Constitutionalists consisting
of a large guerilla force, lancers, flying artillery, caeadores
Nos. 2 and 3, infantry 6, and a division of French had entered
Agoas de Mirra, four leagues from St. Übes. Today at noon,
the flag of Donna Maria is flying on the Castle of Palmella, op-
posite the Praca de Commerico (Black Horse-square). The
sight has inspired much joy among the Constitutionalists.
Napier has landed some sailors at Praca das Macaws,
near Cellares, the estate of the Duke of Palmella, and taken
possession of two guns which were at a small fort. This af-
ternoon, two battalions of Royalists, 560 strong, 300 recruits
of Alentejo, and 60 cavalry, crossed the Tagus, for the pur-
pose of cutting intrenchments on the road to Almada, Trafara,
&c., where it is believed the Queen's flag will be hoisted to.
morrow. The forces of the Miguelites on the other side, as
far as St. Übes, amount to 3,000 men, chiefly militia, and 150
cavalry. In Lisbon, besides police (about 2,000) there are not
3,000 troops.
The two corvettes which escaped from Napier, and entered
the Tagus, are already disarmed.

P. S. I have just heard that official accounts have been re-
ceived of the entry of Villa Flor at St, Übes, and that the
Duke Palmella is on board Napier's fleet, ready to land.
