LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 180

The Marquis of PALMELLA, and the Untie(
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to Don
PEDRO, M. DE BARBOZA, have not yet 161/
town. They will, however, leave this day c't
to-morrow.

We have received the Oporto Chronica, to
the 21st, but it is quite barren of news of le'.
terest. There are several decrees in it, showil,
the activity of the Constitutional Government, and
some spirited appeals to the Portuguese tied/
but no material fact is added to our account
the 19th. Our private letters are not quite 5°
cheering as we could wish. It appears, boll'
ever, that only money is wanting to secure the
success of Don PEDRO-3 or 4 per ceet'
even on the Loan would enable his agents here
to send out 4,000 men, and two or three largo
ships, and with such a reinforcement he wogs
able to subdue the forces of the Usurper. Ps
to sailors, it is highly probable that SARTORI°
will get a good number without the trouble (
of
recruiting for them, as SAMPAYO, the agent I
Don MIGUEL in this country, is said to be el'
gaging seamen for his master, and these must in
vitably fall into the hands of the Constitutioo
Admiral.

Despatches have been this morning received fiat°
Oporto by the Marquis of' PALMELLA up t°
the 22d ult., and a letter from Admiral SAR'O#
RIDS. Despatches have also been received b);
the Conde de FUNCHAL, but they arlevenouti
more recent date than the 18th ult. under,
stand that the accounts received by the Mare,
Of PALMELLA are by no means unfavourable;
to do more than act on the defensive unless re,,i
inforced.

Don PEDRo's agents are getting very 3 0
cular in choosing recruits ; they refuse a to
number of young men ; in fact, they seell'a,
care for none but old soldiers, and more °rot.
cially those who have served in regiments
cavalry. A number of idle characters fr°l'
various parts of the metropolis have been h,
qui vim in of Bring their services at all

different rendezvous, with the expectation of
drawing a few days' pay, and regaling themselves
at the gin-shops, at the expense of Don PEDRO.
However, the agents are not to be duped in the
manner they were in the first instance, by raising
men in London, who, when the time of em-
barkation drew near, not only refused to embark,
but congratulated each other upon the good har-
vest they had made on the expedition. It is
said that the agents have been equally as suc-
cessful in enrolling men this week as the last.

There are no further accounts from Belgium ;
but it appears by official advices from Paris that
Louis PHILIP is firm in his determination to
protect the interests of his son-in-law.

We understand that the Duke of SUSSEX
is likely to be prevented from presiding at the
intended Meeting in favour of the Portuguese
Constitutionalists, by a promise which he had
made to visit a friend in Wales ; but his Royal
highness has expressed a warm interest in the
cause, and will, it is expected, provide a proper
substitute.

As we find, by the Colonial Papers which
have recently arrived from Van Diemen's Land,
that the colonists there are in expectation of the
establishment of a new colony at Spencer's Gulf,
on the southern coast of New Holland, and that
a Company has been formed in this country for
the purpose of sending out settlers to that quarter,
we are authorized to state that no such Company
has received the sanction of his Majesty's Go-
vernment.

Some of the Paris Papers state that the con-
quest of Tripoli has been resolved upon by the
British Government. This we have heard de-
nied upon authority, but it is certain that at this
moment claims are advanced by our Govern-
ment on the BEY of Tripoli, which, if refused,
may lead to a rupture with that worthy per-
sonage, and place his territory, for a time at
least, in our hands.

An express has been received this morning
from Paris, bringing the papers of Thursday,
and the Messager des Chambres dated yester
day. Their contents are of very little political
interest, being principally filled with comments
on the prosecutions of Ministers against the
liberty of the press, and the trial of Pere EN-
PANTIN, and the other heads of the St. Simo-
nians, who have been found guilty. The pe-
remptory orders given to the Duke CHARLES
of Brunswick, to immediately quit Paris, was
the subject of much conversation, as Ministers
had discovered that he had been carrying on a
secret communication with the Duchess of
BERRI and the Carlist party, for whom, it ap-
pears, he has been making large purchases of
arms, ammunition, &c. His orders were to leave
the capital on Thursday, with the whole of his
suite. Switzerland is the place he intended re-
tiring to. The change in the Ministry was
expected to take place in the early part of this
month. Prince TALLEYRAND will remain in
Paris until it is settled, before he returns to
his residence in Hanover-square. M. DUPIN
Is certain of coming in. The KING was at
Eu, Where he is expected to remain a few weeks.
A rather important change is likely to take place
in the Post-office : for many years, even before
the revolution of 1793, several applications had
been made to Government to have the letters for
England sent by way of Dieppe and Brighton.
Since the establishing of a regular correspon-
dence by steam, that application has been re-
newed, but without success; until his MAJESTY,
on his road to the Palace of Eu, received a
deputation, composed of the Mayor and Cor-
poration of Dieppe, who laid their petition
before him, that the mail for England might be
sent by way of Dieppe and Brighton, instead of
by Calais and Dover, as it would save a con-
siderable time and expense. It is expected that
this alteration is likely to take place at the com-
mencement of the year.

Intelligence had been received at Paris, by
telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, bringing
news from Oporto as late as the 24th instant.
Admiral SARTORIUS sailed with his squadron
towards Lisbon on the 21st, with a good wind,
to blockade that port, as he expected to be re-
inforced by three armed vessels sent from France.
Don PEDRO was strongly situated, and there was
no expectation of an attack from the Miguelists,
who had retreated towards the South. A movement
had taken place at Coimbra in favour of the
QUEEN, and also in the Algarves and Alen-
tego. The troops were in excellent spirits, and
were only waiting reinforcements from France
and England to march upon Aviero and
Coimbra. It was reported at Paris that
the Marquis DE LOULE,
_brother-in-law to
Don PEDRO, who is there on a special mis-
sion, had received a letter from the Marquis
DE PALMELLA, announcing that the British
Ministers, with the exception of Viscount PAL-
MERSTON, were anxious to acknowledge Queen
Donna MARIA, but that a certain foreign
Ambassador was exerting his influence to delay
it. The French Ministers were ready to ac-
knowledge her MAJESTY, but wanted the de-
cision of the British Government. A number
of_ Polish officers and men had left the capital
for Brest, and others for Toulon, to embark
for Oporto.
The French Ministry have sustained another
defeat in their ill-judged prosecution of the
Press. M. PAULIN) the editor, and M.
HINGRAY, the printer of the National, were
arraigned upon two several indictments, each
imputing to them the crime of attempting to ex-
cite the people to overthrow the Government.
This important trial attracted a very nu-
merous auditory, amongst whom General LA-
EA.YETTE, M. CORCELLES, and other Deputies,
were summoned as witnesses on behalf of the
defendants. M. CARREL, the chief editor of
the National, was also present.
The indictment was supported by the Pro-
cureur-General, M. PERSIL. The defence of
M. PAULIN was committed to M. CHARLES
COMTE, Advocate, and Member of the Chamber
of Deputies, assisted by M. BENOIT, of the
Versailles bar. M. DUPONT conducted the
defence of M. HINGRAY.

After a long and interesting trial, the Jury

retired for an hour and a quarter, and then re-
turned into Court, declaring the accused Not
Guilty upon every count in the indictment !
The announcement was received with marks of
applause. After this additional manifestation of
public feeling, will the Citizen King persist in his
impolitic course ?

COURT OF ASSIZES.—Sirrwc OF Alta. 28.
(Conclusion of the Trial of the St. Simonians.)
The Advocate-General then maintained that the viola-
tion of Art. 291 was fully established. and concluded by
demanding of the Court that the society should be dis-
solved.

Messrs. Eichtal, Lambert, Duveyrier, Chevalier, and
Barrault replied to the Advocate-General, but their
speeches were a mere repetition of their firmer addresses,
except that M. Barrault desired that the Court would in-
sert in the minutes the words of the Advocate-General,
stating that many had been seduced by juggling tricks, in
order that proceedings might hereafter be instituted against
him. This, however, the Court refused.

M. Olinde Rodrigues confined himself to impressing
upon the Court that he had been a member of the associa-
tion only two years, during which the conduct of the fa-
mily had not been such as to call the attention of the
officers of justice.

The President having summed up, the jury retired at
half-past three o'clock, and returned into Court at six, and
delivered a verdic, pronouncing the accused Guilty upon
every one of the counts.
Some objections were raised as to the manner in which
the President had put the questions to the jury, but these
were overruled by the Court, who retired, and, after a long
deliberation, condemned Enfantin, Duveyrier, and Cheva-
lier, to one year's imprisonment, and a fine of 100 f., but
sentenced Rodrigues and Barrault only to pay a fine of 501.
each. The Court also decreed the dissolution of the St.
Simenian association.

Father Enfantin heard the sentence with the same calm-
ness he had displayed throughout the trial, and entreated
his sons to support with silent resignation and courage this
new persecution, and, like another martyr, appeared even
to receive with joy this proof of the imperfection of all
men who were not blessed with the St. Simonian in-
spiration.

- The following is an extract from a circular addressed by
the Minister of War to the military authorities of th,.. de-
partments :—" Posit:Ye information has been received that
the Frankfort Diet has selected numerous agents to be sent
in•o all parts of France, to ascertain the number and state
of discipline of all the regiments." (Here follows a list of
the military men, particularizing the officers of engineers,
chosen by the Committee named by the Diet for this pur-
pose.) "The Minister of War, therefore, desires the
authorities to be active in their endeavours to detect these
agents, and prevent them from obtaining the information
they are in search of."—National.

The ilioniteur contains the following, which will be
found of interest by our commercial readers :-" The King
of Holland, by an ordinance dated June 13th, has per-
mitted the importation of foreign machinery of every
description, duty free, and its exportation to Surinam,
su' ject only to the colonial charges. The Minister of
Commerce has transmitted to the Ch .mbers of Commerce
at the several ports of France, a translation of an ordinance
by the King of Spain, tilted the 2d ult., pointing out the
formalities to be observe:l by the Administration at Cadiz,
and by the merchants, from the 19th of next month, when
Cadiz will cease to be a free port. An application made
by the Government of France to that of Prussia, at the
request of the Chamber of Commerce at Meez, has been
complied with, and, in consequence, all wines sent from
Metz to Trev,s, by the Moselle, will he admitted with a
reduction of 20 per cent, on the present entrance duties."

It is a popular saying, that one original lie re-
quires twenty to back it, and is, generally,
amongst the most ignorant, adduced as a suf-
ficient proof of the convenience of telling truth.
A similar observation may be applied to all de-
partures from principle in commerce or domestic
policy. One violation of principle requires to
be bolstered up by a score of others, so that the
violators ought to be convinced by the shifts
and contrivances to which they are reduced, that
all cannot be right with them. We have been
led to make these remarks from reading
an article in the September number of the
Quarterly Journal of Agriculture, pub-
lished at Edinburgh, and just transmitted
to London. An apparent admirer of the
Corn Laws has just found out that they do not
give a steady price to the farmer, but produce the
most ruinous fluctuations. Instead of propos-
ing to return to the only system which can pro-
duce a steady price, as far as the price of such
an article as corn can be steady, our author has
hit upon an expedient which could not have
entered into the brain of any but a restrictionist.
Hear his premises, " It might have been ob-
served by any one who pays attention to these
matters, that by the end of last May the
stack-yards in every county contained remark-
ably few stacks. * * * *. That this
was an extraordinary circumstance may be in-
ferred from its being made a subject of remark.
The fact is, the farmers thrashed their corn
as the live stock required the straw, and sold the
produce of the stacks as they were thrashed, at
such prices as could be obtained in the current
markets. The demand for straw being always
steady, the supply of corn to the market would
be steady also, were it always sold as it is

thrashed. Is it too much to assume that this
steady supply gave rise to the steady prices ?"
In order, however, that no doubt may remain
as to the great respect due to his opinion, our
author thus announces the wonderful discovery
he has made :—" We may conclude, then,
that at least one probable and proximate
cause of the fluctuation in the prices
of grain in our market, arises from an un-
steady supply of grain to these markets, and
that, consequently, when a steady supply is
sent to them, the prices will be steady, as eras the
case this year." What ! have we already in the
year 1831 discovered that unsteadiness in
the price of grain is occasioned by un-
steadiness in its supply ? Wonderful ! We
rejoice that the discoverer resides on the

other side of the Tweed, instead of on the
banks of the Thames, for assuredly he would
set it on fire. Of course it will be easy for him
after this to discover some other means of giving
steadiness of supply, besides thrashing the corn
as the straw is wanted, and forthwith sending it
to market, for we fear that he will find that that
was not a cause of it, although it happened this
spring to be concurrent with steadiness of price.
Perhaps he may find out that the prosperity of
our manufacturers, and their ability to pay for
corn, may have something to do with keeping
up a steady demand and a steady price. As,
however, we shall have occasion to touch upon
the subject of the corn in our review of that
part of Mr. MUNDELL'S book, and hope therein
to show that they operate injuriously both to
manufacturers and agriculturalists, we shall now
leave the discoverer of steady supply being the
cause of steady prices to his meditations.
