A curious dispute of a lin rcantile nature has
arisen out of the late changes.in Portugal, under
the following circumstanced :—The first of -cer-
tain Bills of Exchange xv ere some time ago
transmitted by the Brazili Government to the
Portuguese Ambassador in 'London, for ac-
ceptance only on a house whose partner in the
Brazils had made a largul purchase of diamonds.
The second of. exchange/arrived at Lisbon in the
vessel from Rio Janeiro, that conveyed Lord
Beresford,.and w;is traulimitted there in the usual
way of remittance, and made payable to the
order of the `treasurer-General. l'hese hills in
the regular way were negotiated on the Lisbon
Exch& ane, and by tho'purchaser forwarded to this
country'for acceptance and payment, the endorse-
ment Stating thus ;-;-44 The first accepted to be
found at the Portuguese Ambassador's." 0 n

This Rev. Gentleman, -it is well known, was
selected by the QUEEN to preach .8.11 Occasional
Sermon .on-,her visit _to St. Paul's,:but as, the regu-
lar forms :of- :the Church Service -did not permit
of any discourse on the . occasion, -the. Doctor
has thought proper to publish his Sermon through
the .medium.of the Newspapers--a circumstance
that could hardly have: been expected, and for.
Which there seems to have. been no appaient neL:

,introduced his:
Sermon with the following Letter,: for which
there. seems, to be as little occasion as for the.

[British Pressi •
Annexed to the few observations which we -are about to,
Cifer to the notice of our readers, will be found a fetter ad-
. dresed by 'Mr. Hart Davis, one of the Representatives in
. Parliament for the'City. of Bristol, to Mr. Bright, the Chair-
inan of " a 'numerous and respectable meeting of the Citi
zcns of bristol,7 in WhiehMe. Davis declines to present tb•
• the Queen an Acbrress whidt had been unanimously voted by
Mlie meeting to-her Milesty. Mr. Davis enters candidly into'
the reasons which have induced him thus to dissent from the
.wishes of his constituents,' and we find that he " seriously
obiects tie paying his rersonal respects to the Queen until she,
has publicly disavowed an injutious letter, written and pub-
fished in her name, and addressed to our Most Gracious So;
verei,n." The letter to- which Mt'. Davis alludes must be
familiar to the pUblic; it .was- a letter of complaint and re-
. monstrar,ce, addressed a few months ago, in the Queen's
prime, to her Royal Consort. By whom- written, it is, per-
t trips, u'unecessary to ingnire, but Mr. Davis. goes, we think,
too far in %lying, that it was put9lished, using the word in its
familiar. acceptation, in the name of her Majesty.
" If 'this letter (observes Mr. Davis) he not a treason-
" able act, whichmy legal trnowledg.e does not permit me
'' precisely ton determine, it, is. notoriously. of a charac-
" ter . so closely_ bordeving upon it, that no loyal subject
' who loves ;roil honours his King can consider it in arty
other light than as tending and intrnded to• bring the
" King's' person and the Monarchy of the Country irito
contempt.. •
WI: will by•no means undertake to justify thFit letter. It
was irr ourniiiiii a very ill-advised production, doing as little
service4o the Queen, as it.did credit to either the heart or
the; hfad.of the individual who coMpose'd it. Fortunately it
carfi4its_antidole Along with it, foe the eXtravagaot
ress of its sentiments !awl ychern,eikee pf tune; were calculat-
ed to obviate any evil impression that the writer of it mighil
bare been disposed to produce. -We published the letter as

an historiCal document, in common with our contemporaries.,
blf t bow the eomposition found its.way to the Morning Pa--
r where-it first obtained publicity,-we pretend not Ist linoss.
tl.'e do not, however. think that Mr. H; Davis is justified by
elte appearance of that letter from 'declining to Pay to her
Vlajesty thtf resptct(tue to her. rank and station, or to,decline,
'the hontn--ttbte duty assigned to him by " such a respectable
body of his constituents." A Queen May address her:Consort,
or somebody with mare feat than sense ma'' Write aletter to
the King in her .name, in language not sutiiciently judiciouis
or temperate ; the tone of remonstrance* might 'he.-harsh
arol offensive, but we know not what right Mr. Haft Davis
has to withhold tom that account his duty to his constituents
and refuse to become the medium, of communicating toher
Majesty the exoresSion,of their e.ffection and esteem. , And
mark this Gentleman's inconsistency; He would feel no difft-
enlty in transmitting the Address conjointly with his worthy
Colleague to the Queen's Vice Chamberlain, hot he cannot
as a Member of Pal :lament present it in person to the Q.Aleeti
herself. That is, he is perfectly willing as a Member of Par-
!lament to heat her Majesty's servant, acting as her imme-
diate agent, with all foe respect, but he cannot as a Member
of Pal liament condescrod to treat the principal with the re-
spect Which custom• and the principles.of ,our Monarchical
Government require front every Gentlemau lit the empire.
Mr. Davis might recollect that it was not to pay his personal
respects to the Queen that his constituents required him to
wait on her Majesty, hot merely as their agent to convey the
expression ortheir seotiotents. In making his bow, there-
fore, he might solemnly protest against-her Majesty's receiving
it as his art iu his pi ivate capacity. The lows. Was to be consi-
dered merely as a state how. or a bow of cer einony—such a how,
rfor,instance., as the flan. Gentlemau gives. to certain of the
worthy electors of Bristol, whose persons and principles he
'holds in religions abhorrence, with the comfortable conviction
that "no love is lost " between them. Now, svo should Wish
extremely -to know when this ingenious excuse first smote
the brain of, Mr. Hart Davis, for every body must see
that it is, merely an excuse, and that the real cause
for thus -dissenting from the wishes of his constituents
k4ears a farlalifferent complexion. Hail that injudicious letter
never been written, would Mr. Hart Davis hare " seriously
objected as a Member of Parliament to Ming his personal
respects to the Queen ?" - Some other circumstance in the
zondirct of her Majesty or of her friends Would have suggest.
tor to. an ingenious mind a pretence equally cogent. Never;
we hrhelT, was the conduct of any watched with
keener avidity ter discover pretences few offering injuries and
insults, or flit withholding hindneas and respect, than that of
ton' unhappy Cloccu. Vrieate interest• prompts thousands to
kisolt or desert her, and thousands are therefore employed in
dl vising excuses for their illibLerality and cruelty, rEvery act
of tier life is distorted to give a colour to accusation, and cell-
. suve dares to raiSe its head its eiretnostances where, if justice

"-My DEAR 111tit.•4- have had the honour to' receive yOur
Letter, with the information,
.that at o'entinterous and re-
spectable Meeting of my Fellow-Citizens:at which you were
called to tht..! Glebe, an Address to the .Queen was tumid-
Monsly voted, which the Representatives. in Parliament. for
the City of Britvtol were requested to. present to her
Majesty. - •
" it is very painfla to me' to be obliged to decline a duty
which suth a respectithle‘ body of ntyConstitueuts have im-
poieJ oridn me; andY feel it necessary, in few -words, to 4.14-
plain the reason-of 16 dissent...from their. wishes.
" I should have felt- no _difficulty in ,transmitting this Ad-
dress., conjointly with my worthy Colleague, -ttr,the Hon.
Keppel Craven, the Vice-Chamberlain-of her Majesty, but as
a Nteiolter of the British Parliament I do selionsly object to
payin_ nay personal respgcts to the Queen, until, she has puli
licly disavowed an injurious letter written anti published io
her name, and addressed t., our Most gracious Sovereign.
" If this. letter be not a treasonable act, which my legal
knowledge does tint permit me precisely to determine, it is
notoriously of a character So closely bordering upon it, that
no loyal subject, who loves and honours his King, can consi-
der it in any other light tlitot as tenditig and intended to
bring the iti.int.;'s Person anti the 111o.narehy of the Country

10,0 contempt. . .
With this conviction derply impressed in n mind, is
tlture one of my constitneuts it, lot will nut feel that 1 should
dishonour those who scut ate to Parliament, if through any
base desire of popular arplawse I siantild act in contradic-
tion to it ? I will test my case here, ant! trust for my apt.-

The German intelligence is not tetty important. There are
some curious remarks in the notice of Leipsic Fair, open the
zeal of a British association iu communicating the evidences.
of the Christian faith to the .rews. exposition of He-
brew testaments at the fair for the rise of the IeWS., at low
prices, is, we stare say, well fonuded, mid retltcts credit upon
the Christian spirit, from which this fair and disinterested
mode of conversion has emanated. Perhaps, also, the ex-
position of them at the 'loins of Synagogues may he true.
tint we beg leave to question the offer of-a pecuniary premium
,o each convert, upon a certain scale, or in any other manner.
ludeed-there is a tone of pleasantry pierces through the ob-
servations every 119W.and then. The subject, however, de-
serves serious consideration, and it is for this reason that we
notice it at all.. We hasq] given credit, must sincerely, to the
propaLtandists of Christianity among the-Jews, which project
has the sanction of some of our most learned and exeMplary
,theologians ;‘ but we likliSt rXIII,',FII to them our decided con-
viction, fortified by the authority of -sonic of the most able
and enlightened writers of the last cortnry,lhatthissassocia-
tion has begun preposterously. If it is Wished that Jews
should become Christians, let Jews -he released rf
tOin the
chaini of barbarous prejudice, and practical bondage in most
of the 113 lions of Europe—this truly•enligiitened country in-
cluded. Let the Jews stand erect in the different comanini-

tics to which they beloli—lct them have the.henefit of all
the means of public education, equality of right in the exer-
cise of, industry and trattie, in the acquisition of property,
and in the enjoyment of civil rights—let them hr raised to
the level of the Christian condition, and they will then
perceive and acknowledge Chri‘tiantruths.

Whatever may he said, and justly, of the cruelty and des-
potic conduct of the floytian King. yet he must be regarded,
under all "the:peculiarities of his situation, as a being of ex•
•traordinaiy enterprise, decision, and energy. The civilisa-
tion, to so considerable an extent, of men who still bear the
bratial4 and- ttlasltrof slavery, - rAfttlFrrigi a matter of curi-
ous iuiptiry :sod the deepest interest, avid it is not probable
that it could have been so far effected by common resolution
and common courage. So short a period has elapsed since
the frightful war which led to the liberation of liayti—the.
barbarous murder of Tonissaint, the elevation atid destruc-
tion of Dessalines„ and the division of the command be-
tween Christophe and Petion, that when we consider what
has been done since, we are almost inelined tolook
upon the whole as .a fable. It is enough, indeed, to make
the advocates of slavery blush ler their inhuman doc-
trines. We shall briefly mention two •or three patti-
cubes relative to that part of the island which was under:
the government of Christophe. hleie, in almost every
town, a school on the system of Bell and Lancaster AV:is esta-
blished, where the male children were gratuitously instructed
in English and French, and in arithnitctie, Some of the pre-:
ceptors Are English and others French, but one of the fa-
vourite Objects'nf Christophe was to establish the furnicr lan-
guage as that of his Subjects. In the school at Cape Henry
there were 2-20 boys. It has beta often remarked by tourists'
and travellers, that the sonnd of a foreign language 'on evet y
side of theM had a Very peculiar effect. It. must appear still
noire strange to Englishmen' to hear their own lanlznage
purely spohen! by the children of hlacks, so recently freed
from the fetters Of slavery, The country was divided accord
ing to the French system into arrondissements, of which the
number was twelve. The Administration 0 Justice was re-
gularly provided for, and on great occasions the Council of
State acted as a Tribunal. The Military Ztablishinent was
very numerous and ethcient, comprising tW.enty regiments of
Infaritry, two of Cavalry, and two of :Artillery. Besides
this force there wore the Royal Guards, splendidly equip:
ped, and a regiment'of women, called the Amazons, of
which the Queen was Colonel. And here we must be;- the.
reader uollu laugh at this new•Joilitary body„ most
of them, he can mount a horSe at full trot.,' We now come
to the Countand Ministers ; but the list of titles and%/igiti--
, twits is so t,ruly formidable that we cannot attempt any de.

scription of them. The'Royal Calendar issued for the rote of
the Court-contains no less than )47 pa4es, neatly printed.
It gives nol'onlY the names of the Ministers, but subjoined
to them are short notices, in which the, duties of their seve-
ral offices are slummed up. The appearance of-the Court, we
are assured, was not destitute of splemlour, although rather
tawdry than elegant- These facts are exceedingly cu-
rious .and interesting, when all the circumstances con-
nected with them are considered.-7Chri,stopbe. was not
unconscious of the hatred which was " felt towards him
in consequence of his extreme and Cruel rigour. He
once observed to d distinguished British,. officer, that
he knew he was considered a tyrant, 'hut that ,it was ne-
cessary to be so; the people. would be more tit for liberty
hereatter. With his usual arbitrary violence he introduced
marriage, which was almost unkown, by making a tour of his
territories with his Archbishop; and compelling couples to he
united in matrimony Ilisvigilance and activitywere as remark-
able as his unrelenting severity to all who incurred his dis-
, pleasure. No persons in authority, either civil or military,
were ever secure from his, visits, and it was never known to
what point his rapid movements were directed. He had
amassed immense treasure at Sins Souci; which was rapidly
improving; and had. also collected there large stores of pro-
,
visions. At the time of his death he was about Q,fty-three
years of age. . •

There is no advantage more commonly taken by Ministeri
and the mercenaries in their employ, than that of*placarding
every address, resointiOn, speech, letter, which makes its:
way be stealth or effrontery into public, and can be con-
strued into an approbation of their policy, as if it were the
Spontaneous expression of their real Sentiments by men who
might, if -they thought propel, have concealed those senti-
ments with impunity. This is another of the tricks played
off neon the careless or inexperienced part of the nation,
which, though in fact the clumsiest of. contrivances, is the
most tempting likewise to a class of politicians who live from
hand to mouth, by the success which has so frequently at-
tended it. But unless we are suffered to scrutinize who and •
-what.the.intlividoals are, and how the bodies are -composed
and influenced, by whom speeches are made, and votes given,
'and resolutions frireed, and letters written, and puffs circu-
lated, what thee say Or do !cites just for nothing' in the eyes
of, any reasonable man. Thus, when. we hear that a certain
number of Peers voted fur the iniqiiitous Bill against the
Queen, if is all miglity well until it is made known to us that
ahove.tbirty of these were directly interested in ',procuring
the condemnation of her Majesty—sitting as:ohviously upon
their own trial as on that wherein they were prosecutors,
grand jurors, •and'Aidges. When so much is plaitily set•be-
fore us, the votes are good literally for nothing'. 'Thus,- fur
want abetter wares, the Ministers are forced to bring into the
market an AddreSs front the town of Caiubridge,.fer example,
'vastly flattering and consolatory, nb doubt; but then, as
ill luck will have it, the Corporation of this town, though
decked out in. the full paraphernalia of Mayor; and Alder-
men, and Councilmen, and Town-clerks, is oo more at liberty
to act for itself--or'speak—or vote—or address—or decline
addressing according to the consciences of the members com-
posing it, than are the footmen of the puke of Rutland, who
has been connected Wit it the present 'Ministers ever since
they came into office, and whose namesakes and relatives are
persons in the high situations of Archbishop of. Canterbury,
Irish Chatreellor, and Speaker of the House of Commons.
We have just had time to glance at the Address presented
yesterday by the eight worthy Alermen of London, who tell
his Majesty, that it is - the bounden duty of all liege sub-
jects to rally round him, in order to avert the general -
devastation threatened by the restless, numerous, and
unabating calm-in-Iles levelled at the Parliament, the.
Courts of Justice, the Altar, and the Throne, &C. &e.
And we may ash, under what councils is it, and through what
misfortune-is it, that such mischiefs have become so formida-
ble; and that having continued, as we are assured by the
Government-Prints they have done, for so long a period, they
have not been ere now repressed and punished ? One of
two things must be admitted either a small portion of the.
people are nubile& with disaffection, and engaged its dis-
loyal measures--:in which case, if they have not been chastis-
ed or reformed, the Government with such coercive laws, and
with so mighty an armed force at disposal, has beets guilty
of negligence the snost Culpable; or, (which is the Al-
dermens' meaniog) the,evii is of such extent, the disaffect-
ed are so numerous, mid the means of
stesistance so feeble,.
that the s.aa 'rb men, in spite of whom the malady has
grown hp, mist be wholly incapable of relieving the
station from its consequences. We have before touched upon.
this Address of the. Aldermen, while it was yet in prepara-,
thm ; we shall now :swirly add, that it speaks the sentiments!
of the very few person who voted for it. The answer' which
his Majesty has been hdviSed to return soniewhat discounte-
nances the fears•of tlo• old gentlemen, by assuring 'them,
that (instead of disaffection and sedition being so prevalent)
" a spirit similar to that by which they" (the Aldermen) "are
actuated, happily predominates throughout the kingdom." if
so, and it is doubtless high authority for such a fact—the
wort by Aldermen miy dismiss their•alarms. The loyalists in
every city, and borough, and parith iti England, May surely
take the King's word tor the real condition 44 his Majesty's own
kingdom. Front the Royal lips we bear nothing said 'about
" torrents of intpiet: and sedition;" stalling is stated by the:
King himself which makes it at all " ineuto bent'. oh the over-
zealous Patriots of Cambridge; or Guildhall, to step •forward
between the state a 701 the dangers which Surround.' it. 'llls.
Majesty, with paternal solicitude for the comf;irt anti tran-
quillity of this trulv loyal people, declares in fact that there
is no danger. In jifit, but most severe rebuke of his cackling
protectors, He " e.,e1l knows the implicit confidence which
" is due to the virt iie and loyalty ofthe great body •of the na-.
" lion." Ills Majesty talks not of fear ; he even conde-
scends to sooth they angry tempers of these old Magistrates,
inflamed as they spin)) to be against the whole English Na-
tion, by• kraciousl - signifying, to them, that he: and they
(King and Citizens are " engaged in a common cause ;" and
adding this importint exposition of his royal sentifoents, " I
feel most deeply that the honour of my crown, and the happi-
ness of my reign, mire inseparably interwoven with the main-
tainance of Our ei tablislwil constitution, and with the true
interests and welflire of .my people r' Are the addressing
Aldermen capable.c f understanding this doctrine
.so consti-
tutionally just, so ! rni nen fly becoming. a I,iritish Suvereign ?
If they did catch 1.112 meaning- of the. Royal Speaker; we pity
tli&`poor eonfounrhl coortierS of Guildhall, who, when'they
'hoped to hear a Ki !g• of 'Eneland echo' their own invectives
and execrations ag• oat his sohjects, were frowned from his
presence by the int snatiort that " implicit confideece• is due
to the
.virtue and bratty of the great body of the nation."
which had been so IroSsly slandered-by the loyal Address.
