GENERAL STUBBS.

The Constitutionnel of Monday gives, in an extract
from the Imparcial do Porto, the following interro-
gatories, put by General Palmeirin, the President of
the Court Martial to, try General Stubbs, to the
latter, with his answers
Q. When were you informed of Gen. Saldanha's
resignation ?
A: On the 31st of July, by an official despatch of
Count da Ponte.

Q. What induced you to address a representation
to the Princess Regent on the 20th ?
A. Private intelligence, received by post on the
27th.

Q. On what day, and at what hour, did the
people begin to collect in crowds ?
A. On the 28th, at half-past nine o'clock.
Q. Why did not you endeavour to prevent as-
semblages forbidden by the laws ?
A. Because I could not foresee effects proceeding
from a cause which was ,unexpected; besides, as-
semblages for exercising the right of petition are pro-
hibited by no law.
Q. When you learned that General Saldanha had
resigned, were you aware that there had been dis-
orders at Lisbon, and that seditious cries had been
uttered ?

A. I knew that there had been assemblages, for
the purpose of exercising the right of petition, and so-
liciting the restoration of General Saldanha. I also
knew that the people had shouted vivas.
Q. What measures did you take .to calm the
tumult ?

A. I proceeded with moderation to convince the
people of the obedience they owed to the King Don
Pedro and his institutions, to Donna Maria IL, and
to the Infanta Regent : recollecting that moderation
had been the course prescribed even towards the
rebels headed by the Marquis de Chaves.
Q. Why did you solicit the restoration of Sal-
danha—seeing that on other occasions in which her
Highness had exercised the right of dismissing Mi-
nisters granted by article 74, par. 5, of tile Consti-
tutional Charter, no other authority, or body, ever
interfered with such acts, the control of which in no
way appertains to them ?
A. Because I was desirous of complying with the
wish of the inhabitants of Oporto, who regarded
General Saldanha as one of the best defenders of
the rights of Don Pedro IV. and the institutions
granted by him; and because I believed that her
Highness bad not then come to any decision, as I
received no official intelligence before the 31st of July.
Q. Was your representation made under compul-
sion, by condescension, or spontaneously ?
A. I did not make it under compulsion, but from
condescension to the wishes of the inhabitants of
Oporto, and spontaneously,—persuaded that I was
acting in accordance with the general opinion of the
country, which General Saldanha had before twice
saved in moments of crisis.
Q. What induced you to assemble a council of
officers ?
A. I exercised the right vested in all Generals
who command 'provinces. I convoked the officers
for the purpose of coming to a decision on the best
means of preserving tranquillity. They all voted for
the representation.
The Editors of 0 Portuguez, who were accused
of publishing dangerous doctrines, were also interro-
gated. They answered, that since the articles blamed
presented nothing criminal, it was the part of the
Censors, who had allowed them to pass, to answer
for them. It is thought that at the end of the month
these Editors will be set at liberty by the decision
of the Regidor, Don Justicas, who pays a monthly
visit to the prisons, and who pronounces summary
judgment upon ordinary cases.

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.)

LISBON, SEPT. 29.—The "Prompette Finale in-
forms us, in the number of the 26th September,
that her Serene Highness the Infanta Regent, ac-
companied by her sisters, has paid a long visit to
her Majesty the Empress Queen, her mother, who
received the Princesses with demonstrations of the
most warm attachment ; the latter, on their side,
gave marks of profound respect for the widow. The
object of this visit was to inform her Majesty of the
speedy arrival of the Infant Don Miguel.

TRIENNIAL VISITATION OF READING

SCIIOO.L,

Yesterday the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, the
President of St. John's, and the Warden of All
Souls' College, made their wonted triennial visita-
tion of Reading School, on which occasion the
" Hecuba" of Euripides, and the philosophical play
of " Hamlet" (compressed-for the express purpose
by Dr. Valpy, who has already successfully
com-
pressed other dramas of the same great writer) were
performed by the young gentlemen of the senior forms.
The exhibition (the proceeds of which are to be as-
signed to some charitable institution) was very impos-
ing, and creditable both to the young performers and
their liberal and enlightened master. We can conceive
nothing better adapted to imbue a school-boy with
a high relish for the almost faultless Greek drama-
tists, than such an exhibition, where character and
costume are rigidly adhered to, and where the feeli-
ngs and the taste are enlisted, with added energy,
in the cause, from the circumstanceg of novelty and
excitement attending it. Dr. Valpy is well known
to the public as one of the most successful masters
in England ; perhaps there is no one who knows so
well how to " gild the bitter pill" of knowledge;
and to render by apt anecdote and illustration, a
lesson in Homer or Horace, as interesting as
a fairy-tale. Of course, therefore, when we
assert that his judgment and experience diligently
superintended the exhibition, (for he himself has
considerable taste, as well in the modern, as the
ancient drama) we need scarcely add that it was
eminently and deservedly successful. All the leading
characters in the neighbourhood were present;
among the foremost of Whom appeared Messrs.
Monck and Palmer, Members for the Borough. The
English prologue proceeded from the pen of that
agreeable village annalist, Miss Mitford: the epilogue
—which abounded in point and spirit—was written
by Mr. Talfourd, himself a Reading school-boy.
We were delighted to find the Doctor in such good
health, for there is not a man on eat!), whose loss we
should so sincerely regret. His image is linked in our
mind with the most delightful recollections of youth ;
we never turn over a page of Horace, but we think
of him who first taught us to appreciate its beauties,
and even now, if a sunny moment flits across our
path, to him only (and the associations thereby en-
gendered) is the transient enjoyment due.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Constitutionnel.)

BARCELONA, OCT. 6.—lt was but yesterday we
learned in detail all the circumstances which prece-
ded or followed the arrival of the King at 'Tarragona.
They are of such a nature as to interest public cu-
riosity, and I proceed to relate them in the order of
their dates.,

The King, who slept on the 26th at Vinanci, pas-
sed the Ebro on the 27th in the morning, near Tor-
tosa. In this fortress, and that of Lerida, there were
six thousand of the Royal troops assembled, and
commanded by the Generals, Count D'Espag,ne and
Monet. His Majesty, escorted by this division,
continued his route towards the defiles of the Col.
de Balaguer,, which were occupied by 4,000 rebels.
commanded by the Chief Raffi y Vidal.
The Marquis of Campo Sagrado, who had bcien
apprised of the opposition which the rebels designed
to offer to the passage of the King through those
defiles, which are almost impregnable, caused a
column of sixteen hundred men to assemble, which,
under the orders of General Manso, accompanied by
the Marquis himself, by a denotation from the
Royal Audiencia, by another from the Municipality
and by a third from the Ecclesiastical Chapter, set
out on the 24th, taking the direction of Tarragona,
with the design of protecting the passage of the
King.
This column having arrived at Villa Franca, met
a column of rebels, who opposed its passage, and a
most sanguinary action was the consequence.
General Manso, well knowing that on the result
of this affair might entirely depend not only the fate
of the arrival of the King in Catalonia, but even
that of his person, and braving the dangers which
the superior number of the rebels presented, charged
them with the bayonet in all the streets, and suc-
ceeded in dispersing a part, and forced the greater
number to shut themselves up in two large buildings
which arc at Villa Franca.

Meanwhile, as General Manso's principal object
was to arrive at Tarragona, he left the blocked-up
rebels behind him, and continued his march for Tar-
ragona. It was then that the rebel General RatE,
having been informed of the defeat of the column at
Villa Franea, and finding himself attacked in front
and flank by the troops of Lerida and Tortosa, com-
manded by Generals Espagne and Monet, and per-
ceiving himself on the eve of being attacked in his
rear, and even of having his retreat cut off, decided
upon abandoning the position of the Col-de-Balaguer,
and to fall back upon the village of Reus.
This movement took place on the evening of the
27th; but the King, not wishing to hazard the pas-
sage of the Col de Balaguer with a small escort of
cavalry, and not being able to be followed by the
body of the divisions of Generals Espagne and
Monet, lay on the 27th at the little village of Cam-
buto, and entered Tarragona on the morning of
the 28th.

On that day appeared the Decree 9f Amnesty,
which you are, doubtless, acquainted with, and of
which the insurgent General Raffi took advantage.,
followed, at the most, by about twenty of his troops.
The 24th, the day fixed by the amnesty, having
expired, the royal troops, under the command of
Generals Espagne, Monet, Carratala, Torres, and
Manso, attacked the village of Reus, and became
masters of it, after having made a great slaughter of
the insurgents, who, under the orders of the Monk
Pugnal (who had taken their command after the de-
fection of Raffi), defended themselves with a despe-
ration which surpasses all description. The Monkish
Commandant is amongst the prisoners.
This action terminated the proceedings of the
month of September.
As soon as the taking of Reus became known to
the Provisional Insurgent Junta of Manresa, it
caused the oath to be taken anew :—to perish with
arms in their hands rather than submit, or accept of
any capitulation which would leave unredressed those
griefs for which they had taken them up. -
On the Ist
,October, a division of 4,000 'men,
commanded by the Carajal, arrived from Manresa.
almost at the gates of Barcelona. The presence of
the rebel forces decided -the French General to send
out on the 3d, a brigade of infantry and a squadron
of the 3d light cavalry, who went to post them-
selves at St. Andre, whilst the rebels were at Bade-
lona opposite to them, and, besides, occupied the
villages of Masnon and Moulins del Rey. Mean-
while, neither division interfered with the other in
their respective operations. On the 4th, the Cara-
jal, who had sent some detachments into different ,
villages about, to levy contributions in money, horses,
and mules, for riding and draught, quitted the vil-
lage he occupied, and marched again towards Man-
resa. The letters received yesterday from Tarra-
gona announce, that the King warmly welcomed the
three Deputations from Barcelona, and that his Ma-
jesty is determined to exterminate the rebels if they
do not submit unconditionally, rather than enter
into any. arrangement with them; but this assertion
is, at the least, doubtful. The same letters say,
that his Majesty, in every thing relating to the affairs
of Catalonia, prefers more the advice of the Mar-
quis of Campo Sagrado and that of M. Desa, the
Fiscal of the Royal Court of Barcelona, a man highly
esteemed, than the opinions of the Minister of Grace
and Justice, calomarde.
A Decree of the Ist October enjoins all the,Arch-
bishops and Bishops of Catalonia to come to Tarra-
gona, and the Bishop of Barcelona has already set
out. ,

At the end of October 'his Majesty, according to
a report much believed, will stop at Barcelona with
the Queen, and some other members of the Royal
Family, and it is also affirmed, that in consequence
of their presence all the French troops will retire to
the fortress of Mont Jouich ; this report gives great
alarm 'to the inhabitants of Barcelona, who fear lest
the Spanish command may destroy that tranquillity
which they enjoy under French authority.
The Duchess of Colonna: whose husband is
exiled here on suspicion of liberalism, has gone to
Tarragona to present herself to the King. His Ma-
jesty has received her very favourably, and relieved
her husband from his sentence of banishment.
This letter is confirmed in all its details by an-
other of the same date in the Journal des Debuts,
which gives the following in addition
The rebels carry on the siege of Girona more and
more strictly, and it is believed that this place will
fall speedily into their power, if haste be not made
.to succour it. They also besiege Cardona and Hos-
talrich, and the danger with respect to them is much
greater than as to Girona, because they are weaker
and worse provided.
Letters are this instant arrived from Manresa,
which announce that the greatest anarchy prevails
there; that one part of the Junta wished to submit
to the King, that another wished to continue the
war ; but that, having learned that Carajai was on
his march for Manresa, all the Members of the
Junta had determined on the latter course.

HAMBURGH PAPERS.
ELSINORE, OCT. 6.—A Russian frigate is gone
to Copenhagen to carry'orders to Admiral Siniavin,
to sail to the Mediterranean; but the Russian fleet
had already departed. Meantime, pilots are to he
engaged here, who are to be in readiness to conduct
the fleet to England.
MUNICH, OCT. 4.—The Rev. Mr. Fisher, Catho-
lic Priest and Professor in the Gymnasium at Land-
shut, lately embraced the Protestant Religion. His
Majesty on being informed of this, did not dismiss
him, but removed him to a Protestant Academy,
in Bavaria, with the same rank and salary as he had
before.

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 9.—By the return of his
Royal Highness the Duke of Sleswig Holstein
Glucksburg, from Geneva, his Majesty and the
Royal Fam►ly have received the most sat►sfactory
accounts of the health of his Royal Highness Prince
Frederick Charles Christian, during his residence at
Plougeon, near Geneva, with the exception of
some excursions in Switzerland. His Royal High-
ness, since he returned from Nice, in April, has re-
sided constantly at that country seat, and made use
of the opportunities for study which Geneva affprds.

importantn ig ht to the
intelligence t
this moment, namely, that orders had been sent
to the Russian Admiral, SINIAVIN, to proceed
to the Mediterranean with the fleet under his
orders. Pilots have, 'it is added, been engaged
at Elsinore to conduct the fleet to England.
If this intelligence be correct it augurs much. It
will beremembered that Admiral SINIAVIN'S
fleet arrived at Spithead a few weeks ago under
orders to proceed to the Mediterranean ; but
from some cause which did not 'then transpire,
but which prObably might be traced to the well
founded objections of our Government to the
employment by Russia of so large a force in that
sea, only three line of battle ships and some
frigates, under Rear Admiral Count HEYDENT,
were permitted to proceed to their destination.
The remainder of the fleet, under Vice
Admiral SINIAVIN, returned to the Baltic,
and they have hardly arrived there before
these orders for their proceeding at once
to the Mediterranean are given. The Rus-
sian Cabinet therefore evidently disapprove of
those arrangements which were here made -be-
tween our Government and Prince LIEVEN, as
to the extent, of Naval force to be employed in
the Mediterranean, and our Cabinet, we conceive,
will not approve of that measure which the Rus-
sian Government appear to have decided on.
If persevered in, it will of course impose upon
us the necessity of sending an additional number
ofships-of-the-line to the Mediterranean ;—for the
security of our interests in that quarter, and the
honour of our flag, equally require that our Fleet
on that important station should at all times be
equal to that which Russia may have there.
We suspect that the views of Russia, to which
we have so frequently alluded, will now begin to
develope themselves.
Extracts of these papers are given in a pre-
vious column.

the Queen of WURTEMBURG had arrived at

The Session of the States General was opened
by hiS Majesty the King of the NETHERLANDS,
on the 16th inst. at the Hague, by a Speech
from the Throne, of which the following are the
leading particulars. It is gratifying to learn the
improving condition of our neighbour and ally,
under the liberal institutions which have been so
generally established throughout that Kingdom
The friendly relations with all the Powers continue
to be maintained on the most desirable footing. The ne-
gociations on the convention with the Papal See, which
has been concluded, have afforded proofs of a real desire
to terminate this important affair to the satisfaction of
both parties. The reservation in the publication of the
late bull, respecting the interprAtation of it, is a pledge re-
quired by the laws of the kingdom.
" A treaty with the United Mexican States secures to
our ships the same advantages as those enjoyed by the most
favoured nations. The obstacles whiCh hindered the ships
of the Netherlands from carrying Swedish or any produc-
tions but those of their own country, are for tile present
removed. Our commerce in general improves; ship-
building increases : agriculture is recovering ; the manu-
factures continue to advance, and contend, with courage
and perseverance, against the general competition both in
and out of Europe. The national fisheries are carried on
with variable success.

" The causes to which the sickness of last year might be
ascribed are in part removed. The works for the improve•
ment of the communications in the interior of the kingdom,
both by land and water, are continued, and have a favour-
able influence on all branches of the public prosperity.
" The situation of Java has assumed a more favourable
appearance. The prospect of reinforcements from the mo-
ther country, part of which are arrived, has already had a
good effect on the insurgents, and tended to strengthen the
Government. The Colony, however, will require some
further support, which will need no sacrifice beyond that
already guaranteed by yen. The West India Colonies Peed

some regulations for the purpose of establishing a uniform
and less expensive Administration.
.4 The several branches of the public revenue have, in
general, answered the expectations entertained of them.—
We must wait till the general survey is further advanced
before we can lay down final regulations for the land,tax ;
and meantime adopt some temporary measures for the re-
lief of the provinces, which are evidently too highly taxed.
Some regulations will be proposed respecting the lotteries,
.in order to prevent their injurious effect on the minds of the
people. Notwithstanding this measure, and the assistance
for Java, no extraordinary sacrifices will be required from
my beloved subjects.
" In the present session the determination of the divi-
sion of the kingdom into cantons; corresponding with the
jurisdiction of the courts of justice, will be brought for-
ward ; the penal code, already communicated, will be dis-
cussed ; a code of proceedings in civil causes will be pro-
secuted ; and perhaps, also, a code of proceedings in crimi-
nal causes."

It is understood, that besides the convention of the 18th
of June, another has been made with the Papal See, by
which the intervention of the King in the nomination of
the Bishops is not limited, as in the third article, hot the
clrapters are to be charged, by a special bull of his'Holi-
ness the Pope—first, to inquire of the King what person
his Majesty wishes to be chosen to fill the vacant see, and
to act accordingly; that his Majesty answered this conces-
sion of the Papal See by a change in the regulations re-
specting the educgion of youth destined for the church,
by which the previous exercises in the philosophical col-
lege are not prescribed, but optional ; that his Majesty,
however, convinced of the utility of this college, will main-
tain it, and hopes to be supported in the encouragement
of it, for the advantage of the clergy, by new and en--
lightened prelates, especially as it has appeared that the in-
stitution of it is by no means disapprovectof by the Pope.

The Express of yesterday morning, with the
Gazette de France of the preceding day, has di-
vested the other French Papers of Monday,
which reached us last night, of much of the in-
terest which their contents would otherwise have
possessed. They contain, however, some intel-
ligence from Spain which had not before reached
us ; also the questions which were put to General
STUBBS, by General PALMEIRIN, during his
recent Court Martial, at Lisbon, and his answers ;
and a letter in the Qicotidienne from Smyrna,
under date of the 14th September, all which we
have given ,in a preceding column. The latter
attempts to explain the causes of the want of
energy manifested by the Porte in the conduct
of the war with Greece, during the whole period
it has been carried on ; but, like most of these
Smyrna articles, the present one is evidently not
wriden so near the scene of operations as it pro-
fesses to be.

We have given in another column a report
of
Gentlemen
pemeriot ceiendnteiregs ostedf
itnhe
thDep
etttatn of the
manufactureio of
Malt, who waited on Lord GOD/MICH on
Tuesday last, to explain to his Lordship the in-
jurious operation of the provisions of the new
Act, regulating the collection of the Excise
Duties on that article. His Lordship admitted
that a fair case of hardship had been made out
by the parties, and promised immediate at-
tention to the subject. We are not learned
in the subtleties of the art of Malting, but
it certainly does appear, to us that the last Act
clogs the manufacturer with a variety of restric-
tions respecting the nature of the premises in
which the business is to be carried on, and the
mode of conducting it, which must be considered
to be vexatious and cruel. Malt-houses, which
have been in use for a century; must be altered
to meet the provisions of the new law. It ap-
pears to us to be more consonant with common
sense that the duty should be paid on the raw
article from which Malt is made, than on the ma-
nufactured article, the quantity of which, and con-
sequently its quality, depends upon the mode
of its manufacture. We have no doubt that the
liberal and candid feelings of Lord GODERICLI
will induce him speedily to apply a remedy. to
the obnoxious regulations which have been
formed, notwithstanding they are defended by
the Solicitor to the Board of Excise, with the
partiality natural from their author. One remark,
hovc ever, we cannot but make. It seemed
rather strange that that gentleman who is under-
stood to have framed the Act which is found so
oppressive in operation, acknowledges his igno-
rance of many of the technical terms by which
different parts of the proces3 of manufac-
turing Malt are described, and consequently
it may be fairly assumed that he did not
very clearly understand the clauses of the Act
which he dkew, and may therefore be supposed
to have been ignorant of the effect which they
would produce.

We are decidedly of opinion that the worst of
all restrictions in trade are those which cramp
binding his

VIENNA, OCT. 5.
His Excellency Count Villa Real, Portuguese Ambas-
sador to the Court of Great Britain, arrived here the day
before yesterday/ on an extraordinary mission from his
Majesty the Emperor of Brazil. It is supposed that he
brings the requisite instructions relative to the Regency of
his Royal Highness the Infant Don Miguel. It is said,
however, that his Royal Highness will wait for the arrival
of a courier from the Emperor his brother; before he sets
out for Lisbon. Yesterday being the fete (Saint's day) of

Our last letters from Constantinople come down onlYo

M. Minziacky expects his further instructions from A

EANTE, SEPT. 461
The whole Turkish and Egyptian fleet lies now ill to
Gulf of Navarino, and is most vigilantly watched by
English. It is even affirmed that a Turkish corvei
which, disregarding the blockade, attempted to 100,
Gulf, was compelled to put back with considerable dell
in masts anti rigging. Navarino therefore is probablia
place where the great question will be decided, and o'o
we shall either have peace (or, in the. Turkish fashioo,4l,
armistice,) or an unparalleled _defeat of the whole 'Pitt,
navy. There does not appear to he any other altero,7oi
