of England should—do what ?---presume to judge
of the important question which at present filled the
mind of every thinking man in the country." Really
the people of England have every reason to be grate-
ful to the Noble Lord for this indirect vindication
of their right of judgment, and their gratitude will only
be exceeded by their astonishment when they learn
by whom it has been pronounced, and to whom it
has been applied ; when they learn that it has been
pronounced by Lord ELDON, the staunch unswerv-
ing, unpitying advocate of every act of public des-
potism and injustice that has taken place within the
last half century; and that it has been applied to the
Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the experienced and en-
lightened friend of the people, the bitter foe to in-
tolerance and Ultra Toryism. But as if this of itself
were not sufficiently absurd, the Noble Lord goes
still further, and actually presumes to applaud his
own consistency T. Pray, what species of consistency
is that, which having opposed the rights of the
people for upwards of fifty years, now turns sud-
denly round, and complains of the way in which
those rights are treated on the present occasion by
the Government ? Is this consistency ? Nay, is it
even common sense ? If it be either the ona or the
other, then; with the most unfeigned cheerfulness,
will we give the Noble Lord full credit for the pos-
session of it.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE has, we perceive, paid
a visit to the KING at Windsor. The visit was
paid incog., a pretty clear proof that the subject of
it was not one that would bear the test of public
consideration. Had it been of a private or personal
nature, the Duke would doubtless have gone with a
splendour and magnificence befitting the patron of
Mr. SADLER, and the proprietor of so many boroughs.
But the visit, we suspect, was one purely political,
and was the last desperate resource of a faction
which, in the extremity of its hallucination, hoped
every thing from the brilliant wit, acute reasoning,
and consummate oonversational tact of the ducal
owner of Clumber-Hall. Need we add, that such
hopes have been disappointed ?

The following, from the Mcssager des Chambres,
am the only extracts worth notice:—
PARIS, MARCHII.--The Moniteur of to-day, contains
a Royal Ordinance, the object of which is to accelerate the
labours of the Co►nmissioners appointed to liquidate the
claims of the emigrants, who are to be indemnified out of
the 30 millions of rentes assigned for that purpose by the
law of 27th April, 1825.
A Letter from Madrid, of 26th February, informs us
that "M. de Goicoerrotea, Director of the caissed'amortis-
senient, died suddenly last night. He had been present
the day before at a grand dinner ; the High Treasurer
had brought him away in his carriage, and had set him
down at his own house, without his chewing the least ap-
pearance of indisposition. The following morning, at
four o'clock, Goicoerrotea was dead.
" M. Xavier de Burgos is spoken of as his successor,
whom his financial talents and literary knowledge rank
among the first Statesmen of this country."

The Lisbon Gazettes have been received, they are
filled chiefly with diatribes directed against the Libe-
ral party. Don MIGUEL, it seems, has become suffi-
ciently recovered to receive a deputation which
waited on him on February 16, at the Palace of
Queluz, to express their thanks, gratitude, love,
and so forth. The following are extracts :

LISBON, TAB• 15

We learn by letters worthy of credit, from the capital
of the kingdom of Angola, that the King our Sovereign
was proclaimed there with due solemnity, and the greatest
satisfaction to the public, on the 26th of October last, be-
ing his Majesty's bit th-day.
FEB. 16.—T0-day, at one o'clock, his Majesty was
pleased to receive, in the Palace at Queluz, the deputation
from the city of Funchal, in Madeira, composed of the
Viscount de Torrebella and Ascenso de Segueira Freire.—
The Viscount de Torrebella addressed his Majesty in an
eloquent speech, expressive of the sincere love, fidelity, re-
spect, and obedience of the inhabitants of Madeira, to his
Most Faithful Majesty Don Miguel 1., and their satisfac-
tion at his accession to the throne of his august ancestors,
to which he was incontestably called by the fundamental
laws of the monarchy, and by which happy event the ar-
dent wishes of the brave and loyal Portuguese nation were
accomplished.
His Majesty returned a most gracious answer to the de-
putation which then went to wait on the Queen, who sent
her thanks, but could not receive it on account ef her
ill
health.
FEB. 20.—The Gazette of this date contains some ac-
count of the repulse of the Portuguese emigrants from Ter.
ceira by the English ships under Captain Walpole.
FEB. 21.—Flow many reflections are suggested by
every thinking man, by the facts which were published
in yesterday's Gazette, that the Porteguese rebels,
who are going to the island of Terceira, had been
repulsed from it by the ships of war of his Britannic Ma-
jesty. First, it is an additional proof how the Liberals lie,
who already gave out that they were quite safe in the
island. Then we cannot but remember with indignation
the boldness of Messrs. Palmella and Itabayana, who en-
deavoured to deceive the British Cabinet by pretending
that they were sending to Brazil a cargo of plague (huma
earga de peate), which they intended to smuggle into that
island, already sufficiently unfortunate, in consequence of
what it has of the same kind. If these reflections are ob-
vious, it is equally evident how the British Cabinet ap-
preciated the solemn promises made by the Marquis
de Palmella, since, in spite of every thing, two fri-
gates were sent to wait for the expedition from Ply-
mouth. This conduct of England towards Portugal, its
most ancient ally, in such circumstances, is indeed above
all praise, and must serve to undeceive the demagogues and
prevent them again falling into the temptation of trying to
deceive those who are not asleep, and who know them.
Some may say that these Argonauts intended only to touch
at Terceira, and then proceed to Brazil ; but this is an-
swered by the return of the expedition to Brest, better
than by the protest of Joao Carlos, unless that is the way
to go to Brazil from the Azores. This alone proves that
the rebels bad no intention of going to America. This
alone justifies the precautions which England adopted,
that its policy might not be jeered by the cunning policy
of South Audley-street.
Eternal shame after so many disgraces! What figure do
men who were born Portuguese make in the world. And
how do they deceive themselves, if they persuade them •
selves for a moment that the French Government will
afford them the assistance which they desire, fo commit
hostilities against Portugal.
Fats. 22.—This being the anniversary of the happy re-
turn ef his Majesty to this kingdom, was celebrated with
the accustomed solemnities, and with every demonstration
of the public satisfaction, which was particularly manifest-
ed in the theatres, where poetical compositions suitable to
the occasion were recited, in the midst of the greatest en-
thusiasm. In the evening the capital was splendidly
illuminated.
His Majesty was pleased, by a resolution of the 20th of
February, to appoint the Conde de St. Lourenco to the
office of Secretary of State for the War Department.

We hear that a grand project is in contemplation
between the Governments of France and that of
England, to do away with the small Power on
the Barbary coast, as at length the different Powera
paying them tribute, become a complete nuisance.
The plan is to colonize the ceast of Barbary,
with French and English subjects, for which they
are to obtain the sanction of the Grand SULTAN,
in a special negotiation, and a person of heretofore
