Some of the best lawyers of the day have given it as
their opinion that Mr. O'Connell can sit and vote in Par-
liament, without taking the abominable oaths. Will the
friends of civil and religious liberty at such a moment 'sleep
on their posts ? What, when all Ireland is united in one
glorious straggle, will they do nothing ? Forwrrd then,

By the last accounts from Ireland, Mr.

His, Majesty's packet brig Eclipse has ar-
rived with a mail from Rio Janeiro,. which place
she left on the llth May, Bahia on the 22d,
an 4 Pernambuco on the 27th. By this op-
portunity we have the Speech delivered by
his 1 MPERI A MAJESTY 011 opening the
Legislative Assembly. In this Speech his
MAJESTY informs the Representatives, that
Spain was the only power in Europe which
had refused to recognise the Empire of Brazil.
Ile also declares that be has completed the Act
of Abdicationi of: the -Portuguese Throne,- as
stated in the Sef.s.ii)ii of 1826. If this really be

The Rio Herald contains seine severe observations -on

perpetrators to go unpunished.

Wv have noTurther direct news from Oporto
later than that ieeeived by the Anlaby, of Hull,
which put into the Liffy. • This vessel brought
a report of a battle having taken place be-
tween the Constitutional forces and those of
the usurper, Don .1191GuLL, near Condeira,
two 'leagues to the South of Coimbra, on the
25th of June. In this action, the miguetite,
claim the advantage, because the Constitution-
alists • are said .3 to,. have retreated to Serdao,
leaving Coimbra 'to the: enemy. The loss of
t
tBwas said to have been very
n their opponents amounted to
site:a ttill oa tti a
of
800 Men. • We are of opinion that this action, if
it did really take place, was merely a rencontre
consequent upon some movement of either army.
Possibly the Constitutionalists wished to take _up
a more desirable position, in order to concentrate
their main. forces ; and, in effeCting this, a por-
tion of their army may have come into contact
with the enemy. But,. whatever has been the
no actual result, we. have o doubt that the arrival
Of VILLA FLOR"aDd General SALDANHA at
the army would put a newface upon the. state of
affairs. Indeed, the • great fault of the Con-
stitutionalists, in the' first instance, ap-
peared:. to ,be their.. dilatory: progress upon
Lisbon, but then there was no decided—or

renowned Chief to direct their movements, and '
the lass of a battle might be fatal to their cause.
But things will now take a very different turn.
The presence of such men as VILLA FLOII,
who has often led them to victory, and
of SAL-DANHA, who is beloved for his
energetic meastites in favour of the army
while. Minister at War, will inspire them with
fresh confidence, and be the signal for thousands
to repair to the standard of the Consti-
tution, supported by such brave and renowned
patriots. The MArquis of PALMELLA will be
a host in himself. His adherence to the cause
will convince many wavering Noblemen and
others that Dan MIGUEL has no chance of
maintaining his assumed title of usurpation
and ingratitude. • The only wonder now is
how our Government could have been cajoled
into a belief that Don MWUEL would act like
an honest man. The attempted assassin of his
ttnerable father was surely not to be trusted in
his professed fidelity to a Constitution which
it was the work of himself and his aban-
doned Mother to subvert for the last two
years. But the affair has now reached a
crisis that must close the door of mercy
fbr ever upon Don MIGUEL and his Mother.
The last link in the chain of evidence was want-
ing—and that link their unprincipled ambition
and perfidy have supplied, we hope, to their utter
destruction.

The Prussian State Gazette contains an
account of the march of the Russian Army from
Babadagh to the wall of Trajan, and the for-
tified town of Kustendzia, which was imme-
diately besieged. Some slight skirmishing took
place with the enemy's force on the adjacent
hills, but nothing decisive occurred :

MARCH OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY FROM
BABADAGH.

FROM TtlE CAMP NEAR THE WALLS OE' TLAJAN, JUNE 20.

On the lath of this month his Majesty the Emperor re-
moved his head-quarters from Babadagh, and advanced by
way of Beidaout and Tarhaoul into the neighbourhood of
the ancient wall of Trajan, near to which the camp of his
Majesty has been pitched, and the corps of General Rud-
zewitz has taken the same position ; we expect the corps
which at present occupy the principalities, as well as those
divisions of the army which are advancing along the right
bank of the Danube, in order to purstie in concert
with them the necessary operations. On our march
from Babidagh to Trojan's wall we did not meet
with the enemy, and first came in sight of them un-
der the walls of the town of Kustendzia, which has
been carefully fortified by tEe Tnrks. The advanced
guard of General Rudzewitz, arrived there on the 16th ; on
the 17th and 18th some skirmishing took place, the
enemy's force was posted on the hills surrounding the town
of Kustendzia, and protected by the guns of that place, en-
deavoured to drive back our advanced posts. His attempts
were fruitless, and on the 19th, (;en. Rudzewitz without
being interrupted, caused the first batteries to be erected
over against the town. On the same day his Imperial
Majesty inspected them ; on his return from Kustendzia,
his Majesty received conflicting news from Brailow.
Here follows the' particulars of the unsuccessful attack
on Brailow, and the subsequent surrender of that fortress.

In another column will be found extracts from
Hamburgh and Dutch Papers, detailing some
operations in the East, the result of which was
previously known.

The Small Note Bill was read a third time in
the House of Lords, and passed, with a clause
by the Duke of WELLINGTON, allowing Gen-
tlemen to draw under the sum of five pounds.

A strong opposition was made last night to
further grants for erecting fortifications in Ca-
nada, but the sums proposed Isere carried by a
large majority. The recommendations of the
Finance Committee are regarded as so much
waste paper. We profess retrenchment, while
we pursue expenditure.
