THE ICING.

The intelligence of His MAJESTY'S illness, which we
last night gave in a Second Edition of this Paper, has
excited the deepest interest in every quarter. Our Letters
from Windsor, received at an early hour this morning,
state that on going to bed, at twelve o'clock last night,
the KING was considerably better, and his complaint
gradually subsiding.
At half-past two o'clock this day, Sir Haw RT. HA L-
now arrived in town from Windsor, and called on the
Secretary for the Home Department, and at the Trea-
sury, and the Foreign Office. We understand that no
Bulletin has been issued this day at Windsor, nor will
there be till Sir H. HALIPORD returns to the Palace.

His MAJISTY, we rejoice to learn, passed a favourable
night.

Despatches were this day received at the Foreign
Office from Malta, Morocco, Tripoli, and Sierra Leone.
The despatches from Sierra Leone are dated the 23d of
February.

A more attentive perusal of the article in which the
" official organ" of the MIGUELITE faction lately en-
deavoured to decry the establishment of the Rao ENCY at
Terceira, has induced us to refer, more promptly than we
had intended, to the Manifesto, from which we gave a
brief extract a few days since. We can desire no more
perfect refutation of the anti-monarchical principles
which the Milree-Journal put forth on the occasion to
which we allude, than a reference to the authentic docu-
ments by which every statement of that manifesto is sus-
tained, affords ; and we shall, therefore, in all future
discussions of the subject, make the Journal our " Text
Book," and proceed to argue the case upon the premises
which he has laid down, supporting our arguments

by the incontrovertible evidence of these State Papers.—
The stupid buffoonery with which the " victim of consti-
tutional freedom and loyalty" affects to ridicule the mo-
tives of Don PEDRO, is too contemptible for reprehen-
sion ; and.though it may excite the laughter of the Vice-
Count, and induce him to relax his purse-strings somewhat
more ungrudgingly than he has done of late, it passes
us by, with all the angry menaces of the traitorous
crow, but "as the idle wind which we regard not."
But when the tool of the usurping faction dares to sneer
at the legitimate rights of the QUEEN, whose diadem has
been so villainously filched from her ; and presumes to
mention her in such terms as " the Princess MARIA DA
GLORIA whom he (the Emperor) styles Queen of the
Kingdom ;" we are bound at once to expose this mon-
strous perversion of truth and justice, by showing that
the right of her Majesty to the succession has been most
unequivocally admitted by all the European Powers—by
the Usurper himself—by his most guilty partisans—and
by the Portuguese nation. Immediately after the decease
of Don JOHN VI. a Deputation was despatched from the
Provisional Government of Portugal to the Emperor Don
Pv.utto ; whose duty it was to condole with his MAJESTY
upon the death of his father—whom they styled " the true
Father of his People ; "—to express the consolation which
the nation derived under such a bereavement, from the
hope of seeing the throne occupied by his MAJESTY, who
" was happily called thereto by the order of succession,"
and whom they looked upon as " the restorer of the pros-
perity and glory of the monarchy ;" and the Deputation
wet; further charged to address the following supplication to'
Don PEDRO :-=‘ This brave and faithful nation deserves
to witness the accomplishment of a hope so well founded;
but if that boon—the jwsoaal government of your MA•
JtsTY—whichis so ardenAlk desired, can not be obtaine4;
