Don PEDRO'S agents have, during this week,
been very successful in raising recruits. At a public-
house in Gardener's-lane, Westminster, no less than sixty
men were enrolled yesterday : they are all old soldiers, and
the major part of them served in the Peninsular war.
Another place of rendezvous has lately been opened in
Spitalfields. It is expected that several hundreds of these
men will embark for Oporto immediately. They appear
in good spirits.

The first annual meeting of the Political Union
of Wolverhampton took place on Thursday last. Sir C
WOLSELY excused himself on account of the cholera mor-
bus being in the neighbourhood, an excuse which created
much laughter. On the motion of Mr. R. FRYER, the
sum of 51. was voted to SUMMERVILLE, of the Scots'
Greys. A declaration in favour of Poland was next
carried; and a memorial to Earl GREY, on the present
distress of the town and neighbourhood, was agreed to.
Thanks were voted to Mr. O'CONNELL and the rest of
the Irish Members, fur their eminent assistance in carry-
ing the English Reform Bill. At four o'clock, about
500 members of the Union dined together at Mr. To-
LM'S Repository, after which a great number adjourned
to the Peacock Inn, where the evening was spent in con-
viviality.— Wolverhampton Chronicle.
SIR WALTER SCOTT.—TiIe strength of our
great countryman gets daily weaker and weaker. We fear
the thread of life will give way before many days.— Cale-
donian Mercury.

The Commissioners for the improvement
of Glasgow have obtained au Act for a Lottery to raise
funds for the undertaking.

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF THE COUNTY
OF WlLTs.—The apathy of the county voters to getting
registered was very great in this district until within a
few days of the 20th, principally on account of the shil-
ling, when the Unions of Bradford and Trowbridge, in
conjunction with several other individuals, exerted them-
selves, and succeeded in registering great numbers of staunch
Reformers.

The anticipated scarcity of grouse is not alto-
gether borne out by experience, though many sportsmen
great fatigue and little success upon the York. complain of
shire moors. The birds are certainly too strong on tt e
wing for the Cockneys.....Leeds./ntelliyencer.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1832.

We have news from Lisbon to the 18th, and
from Oporto to the 19th : full particulars will
be found in another part of The Sun.
We regret to learn that MIGUEL'S squadron
has effected its retreat into the Tagus ; but the
accounts from Oporto are on the whole cheering.

We have received by express the French
Papers of Thursday. It appears according to
the Courrier de Lyons that the Helvetian Diet
has given orders to the cantons to place on
the war footing at the first signal 150,000 men.
Of the 22 cantons 18 voted for this measure.
The canton of Berne offered to rise in
mass, in case Switzerland should be attacked.
At the Swiss Federal Diet on the 16th the
President, on opening the Sitting, announced
that the Austrian Ambassador had delivered a
note from Prince METTERNicH, setting forth
the great surprise felt at Vienna by the warlike
preparations of the Swiss. These were
supposed to have been undertaken from
the presence of an Austrian corps in the
Vorarlberg—but that corps had no other object
than to prevent the disorders apprehended from
certain popular movements in the neighbourhood
of the Austrian States. The note went on to
state that Austria had no intentions whatever of
a warlike or aggressive character ; but merely
wished for peace.

How far this assurance may be satisfactory to
the Swiss, remains to be seen ; but the Consti-
tutionnel considers, that although the display of
military force made by Austria on the frontier,
of Switzerland may be primarily intended to
overawe Baden: and Wirtemberg, there is also

the ulterior view of fostering the despotic and
aristocratic factions in all the Swiss cantons, in
the ultimate hope of destroying the independence
of the Confederation.

There were some trifling disturbances at
Nismes, between the Carlists and Constittl-
tichialists, on the 15th, but they were soon sup-
pressed ; and accounts to the 20th, by express,
state that order had not been since disturbed.
The news from the East in these papers con-

tinues to be unfavourable to the Porte. A

naval action is said to have taken place on the
18th July, between Budeum and the Island of
Cos, in which the Turks were defeated. One
Ottoman ship of the line is stated to have been
burnt, three smaller vessels sunk or driven on
shore, and four frigates taken by the Egyptians.
The Temps gives the following letter as having been ad-
dressed by the ex Empress Maria Louisa to the mother of
Napoleon, on the premature death of the Duke of Reich-
stadt. This is the first time since 1815 that the widow
of Napoleon has written to his mother, and yet makes no
allusion to the fate of her husband :
" MADAME,—In the hope of assuaging the bitterness
of the mournful intelligence which unhappily falls to my
lot to communicate to you, I would not intrust the painful
task to any other hand. On Sunday, the 22d, at five in
the morning, my beloved son, the Duke de Reichstad',
sunk under the cruel sufferings he had so long endured.
I had the consolation of being at his side in his last mo-
ments, and that of being convinced that nothing hid been
neglected which might have preserved his life. But the
resources of art were unavailing against a disease of the
chest, which the physicians from an early stage deemed to
be of so dangerous a nature, that it could not fail to bring
to the tomb my unfortunate son, at an age when the most
flattering prospects might have been entertained. God
has pleased otherwise to dispose of him, and we have only
to submit to his supreme command, and mingle our tears
and our regrets. Accept, Madame, on this distressing
occasion, the expression of the sentiments of attachment
and consideration of your's affectionately,
(Signed) " MARIE LOUISE.
" Chateau of Schcenbrun, 25th July, 1832."
Lebeau, a working man, on Monday had the brutality to
throw his wife out of the window of his lodgings, on the
third story of a house in the rue de Paon. Her life is
despaired of. Lebeau was immediately arrested and corn •
mitted to prison.
A few days ago a person died at his apartments, in the
12th arrondissement of Paris, under the following pecu-
liar circumstances had an appointment in a public
office, with a salary of 2,000 f. a year, and had friends
with whom he dined almost every day, and constantly
contrived to carry away with him pieces of bread, &c.,
which served him for such meals as he took at home. His
clothes were completely threadbare, and full of patches, and
he wore his shoes high and his pantaloons very long, in or-
der to save him the necessity of wearing stockings, when he
did not dine out. He had been ill for several months, but
would not ask leave to remain away from his office, lest
some portion of his salary should be retained during his ab-
sence. One of his friends not having seen him for several
days, made inquiries after him, and learnt that he had
not left his room cluing that time. The door was then
broken open, and the miserable man found dead, and in a
state of decomposition. The furniture of his apart-
ment was worth about 3,000 f., and in a wardrobe was
found a quantity of very fine linen, which the deceased
used to wear when a young man, at which period of his
life he used to dress very gaily. In a closet were also dis-
covered a great many very valuable books; in other places
boxes filled with mouldy crusts of bread and bundles of
small sticks, he had picked up in the streets; and, in a
secretary, two bags filled, one with liards and the other
with sous. In a separate box there was a number of es-
sence bottles. The lodgers in the house stated th it a
woman had lived with him, to whom be allowed four sous
a day for her support, but that she had lately died of
cholera in the Hotel Dieu. The amount of the property
he has left has not yet been ascertained.
Count Malachowski, the veteran of the Polish Generals,
arrived at Strasburg on the 16th inst.
On the 14th inst. the responsible Editor of the Gazette
de 1' Ouest was condemned by the Court of Assizes at
Poitiers to nine months' imprisonment, and a fine of
1,500 fr with costs, for an article inserted in that Journal,
containing an insult against the King's person._

On the 15th inst. the Marseillaise was called for at
the theatre of Arras. Several officers, and among them
the son of General Dormier, joined their voices to those
of the citizens who demanded this patriotic song, which,
after some hesitation, was sung. The next day M. de
Latour Maubourg, who has the chief command at Arras,
ordered Captain Dormier to be put under arrest.

The cause of Poland, which is the cause of
humanity, is daily gaining strength in England.
Many influential towns have already recorded a
strong opinion on the subject, and on Wednes-
day last, Manchester, resolved not to be behind
hand, agreed on a petition to his MAJESTY,
imploring him to exert his influence with the
Russian Government on behalf of the Poles,
and to require the fulfilment of the treaties by
which a national existence and constitution were
guaranteed to them. The meeting, on this occa-
sion, was remarkably well attended. Lots of
strong, racy, pungent truths were also told, espe-
cially as regarded NICHOLAS, to whose Imperial
character the utmost meed of justice was
awarded. His MAJESTY, we believe, if not in
the constant, is at least in the frequent, habit of
seeing the French and English journals, and it
must act as an agreeable stimulus to his Imperial
nerves, to read the many fine things that are
there daily said of him. But above all things
must he be excited as with the shock of a gal-
vanic battery, when he takes into his Imperial
consideration the fact that the sentiments of the
French and English journalists are those of nine
out of ten of their respective countrymen, and
that, moreover, they are at this very moment
workinga silent but perceptible influence through-
out Europe, which at no distant date will give
him one of those rough, rude shakes, which
sometimes have the effect of restoring great Mo-
narchs to their senses.

In England the sympathy with the Poles
(and we believe it is the same with France) is no
longer confined to the select few—to the refined

—the educated—the sentimental—or the heroic.

It has laid a giant's grasp on the common sense
and common feeling of the nation. It has
struck to their very heart. They look on Po-
land as a sort of outpost, and say naturally
enough, if such posts, no matter how distant, are
surprised and taken, what is to prevent the con-
queror from making still further aggressions, and
carrying the war ofdespotism into our very citadel?
Has not the subjugation of Poland been already
followed up by the subjugation of Germany ?
And will the despots stop here ? Will they not
rather try their strength on the throne of the
French barricades, and so, with the assistance of
the Ultra party in England, contrive, on some
appears
pretence or other, to involve all Europe inextri-
cably in war ? Such reasoning, which

to have been uppermost at the Manchester meet•
ing, is legitimate enough ; indeed it is the only safe
and fitting way to look at the Polish question
We say, therefore, unhesitatingly to the people
do not falter, do not hesitate, do not delay, bu
continue day after day to pour in your petitiew
to the Throne. The Poles, aori knows, have
been neglected long enough ; it is time now to
be up and stirring in their favour. Ministers car
no longer plead the embarrassments of Reform
That question, at least, is out of leading-strings
and will soon run alone.

Lord DURHAM, we are aware, is now busy
remonstrating with NICHOLAS, bearding, we
hope, the lion in his den ; but with how mud
more effect will he act, when enabled roundly
to declare that he speaks the sentiments, not o
this party or of that party, not of this class or tai
that class, but of the whole united kingdom ?
England's unanimous declaration is the one thing
wanting to give point to the remonstrance of out
Ambassador.

Mr. PRENTICE truly observed " the battle
of the Poles is our own battle. It is our own
fight. If that people could have remained
unshackled, we should never have seen the bar.
barian hordes of Russia ravaging all Europe,
and the Ca'mucks and Cossacks of the despot
bivouacking in the streets and gardens of Paris."
This sight, unless England and France do their
bounden duty to Poland, we shall, we suspect,
soon see again. As for remonstrances, scarce
half breathed in a courtly whisper, either by one
country or the other, such humbugs will never
do. Russia is used to such child's play, and well
knows its meaning. What she now needs, is a rude
shake of the shoulders—a hearty slap on the
back. Such a remonstrance she can under-
stand, for she can feel it, and to such remon-
strance only will she pay the slightest attention.

The Coventry Herald contains a long ac-
count of the proceedings of Sir GEORGE
CHETWYND at Nuneaton, the county voters of
which city lie has been canvassing as a candi-
date for the northern division of Warwickshire.
We wish Sir GEORGE success, for he is a
man of integrity, who had ability to read
the signs of the times,—to see the neces-
sity of Reform ; and, further, had the
good sense to support the Government through-
out its late arduous struggle with the corrup-
tionists. We have to regret, however, that not
only himself, both in his speech and in his
printed addresses, but Mr. HEMING, a co-can-
didate for the same division of the county, has
fallen into an error on the subject of free trade,
still common, but which we had hoped the repeated
explanations which have been given of it would
have prevented being put forward in the promi-
nent manner it is by many aspirants to Parlia-
mentary honours. Sir GEORGE CHETWYND
in his address to the county voters resident in
Coventry, says " I shall consider it my duty,
whether in or out of Parliament, to use every ex-
ertion in my power to relieve the ribbon manu-
facturers from the unjust and mischievous com-
petition to which they are at present exposed."
Mr. HEMING, following up the same strain,
says, "I will support an inquiry into the depressed
state of the Silk Trade, and the adoption of
legislative remedies, approved by practical
men; believing as I do that the ruin of the
manufacturers and the starvation of the weavers
have, in a great degree, been caused by applying
to this branch of industry the pernicious theories
of Free Trade." Now both these gentlemen
know, or ought to know, that the theories of
free trade have not been applied to the ribbon
trade in particular, or the silk trade in general—
that those branches of our manufactures
have not, through free trade, been ex-
posed to any competition whatever. The fact
is, that before the reduction of the duties which
took place a few years back, the silk trade was
exposed to an equal amount of competition
as at present. The only difference now
is, that the competition is between our ma-
nufacturers and fair shopkeepers, instead of
between them and smugglers. Is it not
notorious that when the high duties existed
French silks and ribbons were as common as
they are now ? Who has forgotten that Mr'
HUME pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket
in the House of Commons, declared it to be
smuggled, and asserted, without contradic-
tion, that so were those of the great mass of
the Members ? But the impossibility of
at-
taining the object the silk-weavers have
in view, by means of a high duty, is now
so well understood, that the mode more generally
hinted at—for it is hardly yet demanded—is abso-
lute prohibition. If all our producers were at
once to call out for the prohibition of
foreign produce,—and if one class is entitled
to it, so are all classes,—it would not
be necessary for those who occupy the insigni"
ficant position of consumers to say a word, for
the absurdity of the proposition would answer
itself. Let the silk-weavers recollect that they
can ask for no fancied protection which every
other producer in the country has not an equal
title to call for. It is our intention, in the
course of next week, to return to this subject
more in detail, for if ever there was a time when
it was important that the people should be rightly
instructed upon their real interests, it is the pre-,.
sent, when they are about to have the control 0'
the House of Commons placed in their hands.

New York papers have been received to the
2d Umtata. The cholera continued its ravages
in that city with much more severity than in any
other part of America.

The news from Mexico, to the 17th of June,
is very satisfactory. The contending factions,
headed by Generals SANTA ANNA and CAl'..
DElloN, had agreed on a convention preparatory
to a general peace.

Accounts from Madrid, of the 13th August,
profess to state that a stormy interview had taken
place between the Spanish Minister and the
English Ambassador, during which the former
threatened to send a Spanish army into Porto'
gal. The British Minister dared him, hinting►
al, the same time, that France was ready to assist
England in punishing Spain, if the occasion re"

quired. We presume this was sufficient. The
Spanish soldiers are, however, allowed secretly
to desert in great numbers into Portugal. This
evasion is, however, said to be neutralized by the
great numbers of Spaniards who take advantage
of the opportunity, and join the Constitutionalists.

Hamburg Papers to the 22d inst. have been
received this afternoon. Great preparations are
making at Berlin for the autumnal reviews, at
which 50,000 men are to give, among other ma-
nceuvres, a representation of one of the greatest
battles of the last campaign. They may, per-
haps, before next year have to rehearse the bat-
tle in earnest. The accounts from Poland in
these papers continue to be as afflicting as ever.
HAMBURG, AUG. 20.—Lord Frederick and Lady Au-

VIENNA, Arta. 19 —The Court Gazelle contains tq-

BERLIN, AUG. I9.—Prince William, his Majesty's

(From the Maine, Aug. 7.)
It is thought that the whole of the Grand Duchy of
Luxemburg will be occupied by troops of the Confedera-
tion (probably Prussian) in consequence of the resolutions
of the London Conference, and it is probable these troops
may soon march to their destination.

'e are happy to find that his Majesty's Go-
vernment are taking steps to carry the Anatomy
8111 into effect, having appointed Dr. JAMES
SOMERVILLE inspector for England, and Dr.
CRAIGIE, of Edinburgh, inspector for Scotland.
The discussion of the Bill was necessarily at-
tended with much calculated to hurt some of
our best feelings; but we hope and believe that
its practical working will falsify the predictions of
the gentlemen who opposed it. At the most,
we should say, that it will only make those pro-
fessional body-sellers who would otherwise have
been 13urkers.
