(The Lisbon Gazettes, from 18th to 23d September in-
clusive, contain numerous addresses of congratulation to
the Princess Regent, whose health is said, in a bulletin
from Cintra of Sept. 16, to be entirely restored.
Letters from Vienna of the 24th August announced that
Don Miguel had been slightly indisposed with a cold and
toothache, but was perfectly recovered.)

The situation of Spain is at this moment pregnant
with events of deep importance and fearful expectation.
The perverse conduct of FERDINAND since his re-
sumption of absolute power, must now perplex his
friends not a little, and confound himself—for his
invariable policy has been to outrage all the bounds
of common honesty and national honour, without any
obvious end, unless it was that of trying how far he
could provoke the execration of the present genera-
tion, and the contempt of posterity. The overthrow
of liberal institutions in his own country, has only
tended to establish a Constitutional Government in
a neighbouring kingdom, the powerful effects of which
he now begins to feel but too ;sensibly, for the hirelings
of his will, no longer able to minister to his arbitrary
caprices, make their escape from the house of bondage,
and seek protection under a more genial Government.
A house divided against itself cannot hope to stand,
and FERDINAND now finds (when too late we trust)
that the spirit of retribution is abroad demanding
the restoration of those sacred rights which have been
so shamelessly outraged by the barbarous misrule of
the last few years. Indeed, it is strongly reported, in
letters from the frontiers of Spain, that a war is ine-
vitable between Portugal and FERDINAND, on ac-
count of the numerous refugees seeking protection in
Portugal, and then returning to Spain for purposes of
plunder or revenge. It is even said that the Portu-
guese are wisely preparing for the worst, by raising
two ariuics of five thousand men each ; one to be
commanded by GENERAL' MINA, and the other
by GENERAL ALAvA. If this should prove
correct, FERDINAND may bid farewell to the reign of
terror, which lie held over others—for the terror, we
apprehend, will be all on his own side for the future.

We have hitherto treated rather in a jocose manner
the circumstances which from day to day have been
made known to the public, of the conduct of some of
the most notorious of the parties concerned in concoct-
ing Bubble Companies ; and have only ridiculed the
return to Parliament of some of these persons;, as
proofs of their effrontery. The exposures which have,
however, been made, both of these persons' 'conduct as
Bubble Company Founders, and as successful candi-
dates for the honour of a seat in Parliament, demand
of us observations of a different character, and we
shall offer some such observations uninfluenced by.the
remotest feelings of a personal nature towards any of
the parties we allude to, but in.the spirit of those high
principles which we on all occasions wish to maintain.

We then, without reserve, declare, that after these
exposures, we consider, that unless the parties to
which we allude, can clear themselves of the charges
which have been publicly made against them, they are
improper persons to be admitted into the House of
Commons, and that it will be incumbent on that
Honourable House to exclude them from taking their
seats in the New Parliament, until they shall have sa-
tisfactorily vindicated their characters from the disre-
putable accusations which have been made against them.
The exercise of the privilege of exclusion or expulSion
has been resorted to by the House of Commons in cases
of persons guilty of acts less dishonourable than those
of which these parties have been accused, and the no-
toriety of the conduct attributed to them is not only
sufficient to justify the use of this privilege in their case,
but such as to make it absolutely necessary for the
House, with a due regard to its character Sand dignity,
to exert it, until the 'whole of the imputations in ques-
tion are proved to be scandalous and false.
The highest reward of a virtuous Citizen is to be
chosen to represent his countrymen in the British
House of Commons, and distinguished as that branCh
of the Legislature is by men eminent for their honour-
.
talent,
use their exalted character, and their
able principles,
splendid we consider it impossible that they will
allow their House to be contaminated by the presence
o
of
of persons/publicly accused conduct, not less dero-
gatory to the character of Gentlemen, than inconsistent
with the first principles of common honesty.
