da VILLA REAL, a nobleman who, although
a true Constitutionalist in heart, has continued
to observe such a neutrality as would enable him,
if he pleased, to embrace either side according
to the chances of success. We learn also that

the Marquis of PALMELLA takes with him to
Oporto a near relative, whose state of health
and domestic arrangements would prevent his
return to Portugal if there was the slightest
chance of the defeat of the Constitutional cause.

Count FLAHAUT is expected to return to
this country shortly on another mission of im-
portance. Lady KEITH (his wife) remains for
the present at Brighton. This Lady, from her
intimate connection with the family of Louis
PHILIP, and her known attachment to the
Constitutional cause, added to abilities of no
ordinary kind, tended, in the absence of her
husband, materially to promote the good un-
derstanding which ought to subsist between
the two Courts. General Count FLAHAUT is
a diplomatist of great skill, and what is, perhaps,
rather unusual in a diplomatist, of remarkable
honesty. He is the personal friend of the pre-
sent French King, and was to have been Ambas-
sador at our Court if M. DE TALLEYRAND
had retired, as it was thought he intended to do
a short time ago. M. DE TALLEYRAND re-
turns to this country about the beginning of
October, so that he will be in time still .to assist
at " the Conference of the Protocols," as it is
called in France.

It is but too plain—and we beg to be under-
stood as alluding to the fact with all possible de•
licacy—that our cotemporary, the Morning Post,

s in the last stage of a political paralysis.

Symptoms of this distressing malady have ap

geared in every column for months past, but
this morning the hallucination is so decided, as
to forbid us to indulge longer in a hope of our

cotemporary's recovery. But not to keep our
readers longer in suspense;—the Morning Post
is now frantic for the formatio❑ of a loyal and

corresponding society, whose avowed object
is " to separate, by temperate methods, the

. _ .
good from the evil-disposed." By the " good,"
the upholders of ultraism, sinecorism, &c.,

are of course implied ; the " evil-disposed" re-
fers to those who are iniquitous enough to
desire cheap governments and well-regulated

Us!itutions.

In order to effect this de

sirable separation of the white from the
black sheep, the Society—says our cotemporary
—" proposes to open a correspondence with the
chief towns in the empire, to encourage and
foster similar establishments, and ascertain as cor-

rectly as possible the real ideas and dispositions
of the loyal and disloyal, the peaceable and tur-

bulent, throughout the three kingdoms. The
names of the Members to be entered in a book,
and their summary description, with other par-
ticulars, transmitted to the parent institution in
London, for the purpose of enrolment." We
know not whether this book will ever be com-

pleted, or whether indeed it will ever be com-
menced, but- should the word 0° Finis" by any
chance be found attached to the last page, what
a curiosity must the volume be ! How worthy
of a place in the British Museum ! Imagine a
man dipping for a Conservative in its pages,
and finding the patriot thus particularized!

" TIMOTHY DOBBS, dry-salter, Manchester
Stands four feet three in his shoes. Com-

plexion, bright saffron. Expression of face
grave, sedate, and thoughtful. Wears big
whiskers of a dingy straw-colour. Shaves
sometimes, and washes daily. Is usually
dressed in drab shorts and gaiters which hang
loosely about the calf of the leg. Dines at one
o'clock (except on Sundays) off salt pork and
pease-pudding ; is attached to Tory principles,
takes in the Morning Post ; and sings " God
save the King," every night over a glass of gin
and water. A most excellent citizen, of a right
way of thinking, and well inclined to Church
and State." Imagine, we repeat, a man dipping
into a volume of the nature which our cotem-
porary proposes, and finding this among other
summary particulars ! What a face the dog
must have to preserve his gravity ! What iron-
bound sides, if they do not split, or at
least crack, with the convulsion of his laughter.
Still, notwithstanding its grotesqueness, we do
hope that the volume will be completed, and,
what is more, that it will be illustrated by
CRUICKSHAN K. In the present dearth of pub-
lic amusement, it will be an inconceivable boon
to the lovers of caricature. The bland, seductive
countenance of his Highness of CUMBER-
LA ND may serve as a frontispiece (the
description, together with the other " sum-
mary particulars," by THOMAS HOOD), while
among the minor portraits—the stellce mi-
nores of this patriotic galaxy—may figure, in
half-length, such conservatives as LONDON-
DERRY, PEEL, MANSFIELD, CROKER, and
BT lIORPE. Thus illustrated, the book will be,
par excellence, not only the book of patriotism,
but also the book of beauty—an imperishable re-
cord, in fact, of the manly worth and grace of the
Conservatives of the 19th century.
Mercy on us ; we have omitted from our list
the name of Sir C. WETHERELL ! This is a
grievous omission, for no Conservative volume
can be complete, in which the Learned Knight,
at full length (but without his braces), does not
occupy a pre-eminent position. The editor of
the work should devote one chapter exclusively
to " summary particulars" of Sir CHARLES'S
outer and inner Adam.

The following are extracts from German
Papers. The Germans, it will be perceived,
take a great interest just now in Poland. It is
a pity their sympathies were not excited
months since :
AvosßunG, AUG. 24.—Under the head of Warsaw,
24, a Hamburg Paper contains the following article:—
" The interest taken by the Germans in the fate of
Poland is remarkable. We rememb2r very well what
Frederick the Great and the German Literati thought
and wrote about Poland and the PoLs. Only in 1830
Wolfg Meriz,..l, in his Literary Journal, said—. The
Poles are a nation distinguished for their political insigni-
ficance; it is always retrograding, while the rest of Europe
is advancing." Now, however, it seems as if the prodi-
gal son had returned to his father's house; there is noend
' of the complimenting and euil.racing, and all former in-
sults are painted over with new flatteries ; those busy pur-
