June, to his sister, the Princess Regent, with the follow-
ing introduction to it.
"Her Royal Highness the Infanta Donna Isabella Ma-
ria eagerly embracing every opportunity to make known
the elated and virtuous sentiments her august brother the
Infante Dqn Miguel, and desiring at the same time that
the persons interested in the Casa do Infantado may be
informed of the course they have to take, has peculiar sa-
tisfaction in ordering the publication of the following let-
ters which answers both those ends."

This Gazette contains also the Emperor's decree of the
immediate convocation of the Cortes, that ordering that the
Patriirch and all the Archbishdps and Bishops shall be
ex-ojicio Members of the House of Peers, and also a cor-
rect list of the Peers.

Jtn,Y -15.---Letter from the Infanta Donna Isabella, in
answer to those ,of her august brother the Infant Don
Miguel.
N.B. This is the letter, to which that of Don Miguel,
inserted in yesterday's -Gazette, is the answer.
"My Beloved Brother.7;-4 have received your letters
of the 2d and fith, of July, which I highly value, and
which filled My heart with real pleasure, by the senti-
ments of respect, consideration, and love, which my bro,
ther expresses and manifeSts for the blessed. memory of
our august father, whose death, I, and our family, and
the whole nation deplores, and will lament as long as sen-
timents of honour, religion, and filial duty subsist among
us.

" But it is not on this account only that I highly value
your letters ; it is also for the agreeable impression which
they make on all good
.Portuguese (and those are the, ma-
jority), and for the horror with which they strike the
wicked, who, under the false and deceitful appearance of
friendship to my brother, desired scenes of bloodshed and
horror, to be able, in, the midst of revolution and disorder, to
satiatetheir rage upon the innocent, and to improve their
own fortunes. I have ordered your letter of the 6th of Aug.,
to be immediately published,' that the_ whole nation may
know that my dear brother is a good son and good sub-
ject, and that.by retaining and pUtting in practice the sen-
timents which he expresses in his letter, he will one day
be a good father, and perhaps a good sovereign.
" My brother knows me perfectly, and that I have no de-
sire to resign:. Meantime, however, Vtannot 'do other-
wise than remain at the head of the Government, accord.;
ing to the last will of Our August father, till the legitimate
successor to'the throne (our beloved brother the Emperor
of. Brazil) shall give his orders and declare his will.
The remainder of this letter relates only to the'C'osa do
Infanlado, to the refillsl of the Queen Dowager to take
the management of it, which the. Princess therefore took
on herself till Don Miguel should give orders on the sub-
ject. Her Royal HiFlmess speaks in terms of praise of
the conduct of the j iseount de Villa Nova' da Raiaha in
the management of the Casa do Infantado. This letter is
dated llth of May.

The Gazette contains likewise, an Edict of the In-
tendant-General of Police, ordering the delivery of the
garbled and falsified extract of the Constitutional Charter.
Notice is taken of the imprudence and audacity of certain
individuals of the lower classes, in insulting.persous wear-
ing the medal of Fidelity to Royally.
The Gazette of the 15th begins the publication of the
Constitutioii.

As a proof of the present deplorable state of Spain
w give the following extract of a letter from Madrid,
dated July' 25 :

"The Cottncil of State is still anxious to send an army to
the frontiers of Portugal;" and, in the Sitting of the 22d, when
this project was discussed for the 10th time, General Castanoi
said " Even if we did not require troops in the interior of Spain,
the GoVernment cannot comply with year, request, because there
it no army, and that name cannot be given to some groups of men
who are insubordinate and dernoraliwed." •

occurred between the LORD CHANCELLOR and the
-Vies NCELLOR,- upmi points of practice in the
Chancery Courts. We, wished to avoid making an
observation upon the subject until peace was restored
between these' great law and equity authorities. This
we may.now presume to.be. the case—for as the. VICE
CHANCELLOR discharged a broadside 'on Monday,
and the LoRD CtiArtow.Oß did not return the fire
yesterday,.we may conclude that his LORDSHIP con-
sidered the last shot of his VIcE, as, nothing more than
a discharge of his ammunition before be struck his
colours ; and that he, therefore, need not waste any
more powder in answering' the fire. But if peace' be
not positively concluded between these great men, we
hope, for
,the credit of their exalted stations, that , no.
further active . demonstrations of war will be made by
either party against the other. Nothing lessens the
consequence of high station, or, the possessors' of it,
so much as those petty bickering) which are considered.
contemptible in. humble situations of life, but which,
when exhibited by, distinguished characters of 'the
State; may be designated as 'not less improper than
ridiculous. In 'the case in point, we neither 'know,
nor does it signify, which of the judicial authorities
was in the rightbut it appears to us that the dignity
of both would have been better sustained, if, when it
was known 'that a diffetence of opinion existed between
them, either the C4ANCELLQR had, deeired to speak.
to the VICE upon it, or the latter had. sought an in-
terview with his LORDSHIP, for .the purpose of coming
to a mutual understanding upon the point 'in dispute:
One of them must in this,,as in all other eases of dif-
ference of opinion, have been in the wrong, and we;
cannot suppose that either would have pertinaciously
adhered to his opinion against the sound arguments of
the other ; but if this: had been the case—then the
supreme authority of the CIIANcELLoR aught to have
settled the question, and the public been spared the
pain of hearing altercations carried. on between these
high, personages, on information whieh each must have
obtained from Newspaper reports of the expressions
used by the other on the preceding day. If great men
dispute,
.their disputes should be in secret:; and as
many a man, passes for a hero, who is no hero to his
valet, so a Judge may command the respect of the
world, who, if the private errors and prejudices of his
nature were exposed, would sink, in public opinion, to
a level with characters of less pretence and estimation.

The taste for sailing and nautical ainusements, which
has become of late years so generally prevalent with
men of fashion and fortune in this country, and has
spread itself from that class to all ranks of life, has
already been productive of very considerable benefit
in a national point of view, and will probably lead to
