The appointment of 333 Presidents afforded a fine opportunity to
the Bourbons, the Royalists, the Ministers, and the King, of
proving to Fiance that the Ministers had been libelled by the Li.ber
als, when accused of love of power, of entertaining violent and I
dangerous designs, and of being resolved on supporting moderate
men and moderate principles. have the Ministers availed them.
selves of this opportunity, profited by this circumstance, discomfited
their enemies, and gained friends—.by the moderation exhibited in
their choice—by their selection of men distinguished for their con-
stitutional attachment to the Throne and the Charter ? I will not
answer this question—at least for the moment—but I will supply
you with, an analysis of the list of the new Presidents, and which
analysis has now occupied me twelve hours of this day to prepare.
You may depend on its correctness, and may refer to it u a digest
which cannot be controverted.

Total 333
This analysis of the list of the 333 Presidents at least then
demonstrates, that both Ministers and Monarch are resolved
upon trying their strength, and that they fully understood the
state of the question to be simply this—" Now or never." But
in order that you may yet more fully understand the nature of
this most remarkable list, allow me to cull a few flowers from the
nosegay, and present you with some of those which have the
strongest Royalist odour about them. This task Is not very
difileult, but it may be somewhat instructive. Take the following
specimen of Peers. Their colours are decided though not ad.
mired—.and their smell is powerful, but not approved :
Duke de Cereste. Duke de Perigord.
Duke de Sabran. Marquess de Dreux—Brese.
Count d'Ambrugeae. Duke de Narbonne.
Count Vilkle !! I Count Rave: I !
Count Corbiers !! Prince d'Aremberg !
Marquess de &darn ! ! Count de la Bourdoonave ! ! !
Marquess de Civrae ! Duke de Doudeauville ! !
Marquess de Bailly I Duke of Reggio !
Duke de Dumas ! Duke de Belluns !
Duke de Levis. Prince de Solre.
It this specimen suthdent ? Are you amply satisfied P If not— I
read the Moniieur, and you may increase the collection without ad.
ding to the perfume of the nosegay. Take the following specimens
of Deputiev. They are as well known as the sunflower, and they
always turn to Royalty as their Gon, as the lower turns to the
sun :

De Conny ! ! ! Croiset !
De Beraud ! 1 Babey !
D'Onnores ! Berryer ! !
Dudon ! ! Sirieys de Dlayrinhac !
Boulaye ! glartignac I
De Last:sures ! Chabot ! &c. &c.
I dare not go on with my collection, lest you should cast away
my present, without attentively considering the hues and scents of
these various flowers of Royalty 1
LISBON,NE 6.
The misery, the apathy, and the dissatisfaction of the Portuguese,
keep them together. There is no business for the mercantile classes,
there is no money for the employees, and for the people in general
there is nothing but patience. There is now an amusing political
scheme afloat, which belongs as well to the old schools of
France as of Spain and Portugal. The Absolutists of these coun-
tries having expended much money in their endeavuurs under the
Marquis of Chaves, in 1828 and 1827, to uproot the Constitu.
Ida:waists' are eager to obtain some security for its being paid and
as their former agent in 'Portugal, the Marquis de Croix, was
unsuccessful last year, they have, with the sanction of the Mi-
guelite Minister In Paris, the Conde da Ponte, sent two persons to
work for them here; one represents himself to be the confidential
clerk of the house of Turette and Co. at Paris ; and the other, his
companion, acts for Messrs. On, Goldsmid, and Co. One of them
has a credit, on a mercantile house here, for 6001, and the other has
made a struggle to obtain cash for a bill of 1281. The scheme of
their loans is variously spoken of. One says that it is for
2,000.0001, at 38 per cent, out of which is first to be deducted
the amount expended by the Absolutists of all quarters ; and
then. soeondly, the expense of the agency, after which the
amount of the bonds, as they may be sold, is to bewared in Miguers
coffers ; others maintain that various efforts have been made to in-
duce, but ineffectually, the Portuguese capitalists to join in pro-
curing money for the support of their" excellent Sovereign." While
these French financiaiists amuse themselves, as well as Lisbon, in
speculating how they can persuade Miguel and his friends to give
security fir two millions, in order to receive about 000,000 L the
internal credit of the country has fallen very much : the government
paper, which last week was at 29e per cent. discount, Is now at 30i
in this city, and at 31} per cent. in Oporto.
It is useless to describe to you Illiguers freaks—his last
ones were hunting cats in the palace, and in arranging a bull fight.
It has been asserted that his Chief Minister, the Duke of Cadoval, is
ill of an ague. The system of persecution still continues—the pri.
sons are full, as well here as in Oporto. Orders have been issued to
the Alsada, or Star Chamber there, to punish, without loss of time,
all whom they consider guilty. Their sentences are now without

ship of Abevdestn has lately been too busy in making and furnishing
Kings to attend to the complaints of the British mercantile interests.
Not such has been the conduct of the Tuscan Minister for Foreign
Negotiations ; he has threatened to send his two or three frigates to
make reprisals on the Portuguese flag, and the Cabinet of Miguel
has been 12 days in deliberation upon the subject.

The tide of emigration seems to swell as the season is
drawing to a close. The vessels that were to have sailed last week
ere weather-bound t shoals of emigrants, male and female, may be
seen every day parading the streets. It is said that they are chicly
Protestants. Whatever little comforts they were hermitage in the
habit of enjoying have lately vanished; and the prespseta heroes
them, if ihey remained longer in this lmpoverMhed sad tart-ridden
country, are se disheartening, that they pester committing their fa.
