THE DEATH OF MR. CANNING PREDICT-,
ED BY NIXON, THE ASTROLOGER.-In an old book, en-
titled The Prophecies of Robert Nixon, printed in the
year 1701, is the following prophetic declaration, which
appears to refer to the late melancholy event which has de-
prived the English nation of one of her brightest orna-
ments :—" In the year. 1827, a man will raise himself, by
his wisdom, to one of the most exalted offices in the State.
Hie King will invest him with great power as a reward
for his zeal. England will be greatly rejoiced. A strong
party will enter into a league against him, but their envy
and hatred will not prevail. The power of God, which
reigneth over all, will cut him off iu his prime, and the
nation will bitterly bemoan her loss. Oh, England ! be-
ware of thy enemies. A great friend thou wilt lose in
this man."

WILD BOAR SHOOTING.—The Rajahs of
some of the Northern Provinces of India have a
very unmanly mode of shooting the wild boars.
They build little clay citadels on the brow of a
hill, at the foot of which a quantity of food is
scattered every evening. The voice and person
of the man who feeds them, are at length re-
cognised by the boars, and on his retiring to a
little distance, they take their evening meal with
considerable confidence. The Rajah conceals
himself in his little fortress, and placing the
muzzle of his fowling-piece at a small hole in the
wall, takes a•deliberate aim at his unsuspecting
prey.— London Weekly Review.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the ConstitutionneL)

" FRANKFORT, AUG. 3.—We learn from Dresden
that a rumour circulates there of the Greek Prince
Ypsilanti, known by his long detention in the Hun-
garilti fortress of Mongatz, having obtained per-
mission from the Cabinet of Petersburgh to repair
to Russia.

" Advices from Carlstadt (Croatia) announce
that Abdurzahman, former Pacha of Belgrade, and
now Seraskier of Bosnia, is there, organizing a con-
siderable corps of troops under the European exer-
cise. It is stated at Bosno-Sarai, the chief place-of
the Pachalik, that orders are expected from Constan-
tinople to put the troops on their march for the right
hank of the Danube. It appears that in Servia, the
levy, according to the new system adopted by the
Grand Seignor, has net operated successfully. • The
inhabitants of this province have refused to sacrifice
their privileges, according to which they are only
bound to arm for the defence of their territory.
" PARIS, AUG. 7.—The publication of the mani-
festo of the Ottoman Porte has given occasion to
the English journals which are written under the
influence of the Minister, to repel with vehemence
the idea that it was Great Britain or one of her
Ambassadors, either at Verona or Constantinople,
who offered the Turks the succour of that Govern-
ment to compel the Greeks to return to the yoke of
the Crescent. France, ono of the three Powers
which have participated in the last treaty of inter-
vention for the cessation of hostilities, is not less
interested than England in rejecting the suspicion
that the Mussulman policy is gaining ground on the
Christian States. We hope that the Ministerial
Journals will explain themselves on this point with
as much dignity and frankness as the English jour-
nals. They are not the Ministers of the Most
Christian King who ought to be behindhand when
there is question of a fact which interests in so lively
a manner religion and humanity. When they want
texts for a polemical discussion, they will find the
elements in the Turkish manifesto. It is a subject
upon which they have long exercised their faculty.

/PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

CADIZ, JULY 20.—The Spanish corvette, Des•
ezebierta, Captain Manuel Quesada, cast anchor yes-
terday, in our bay, bringing with her the Colombian
privateer, El General Armario, which she cap.,
timed that morning, at eleven o'clock, near Trafalgar.
Below are some details respecting this capture, which
is of great importance to our trade, and that of France.
This privateer, armed with one swivel gun (a
nine-pounder), her crew consisting of twenty-six
men only, she having already embarked nine on
board the different vessels she had made prizes of on
the coasts of Galicia, Biscay, and the Cape de Pena,
sailed from Puerto Cabello in the beginning of May,
and came to cruise off Vigo in the beginning of June,
from whence she went beyond Cape Finisterre, coast-
ing the shores of Cantabria and Biscay. Amongst '
the prizes made by her is included the brig La Cla-
rita, which she took near Cape de Pena. She
afterwards cruised for five days almost within sight
of us, off. Cape St. Vincent, ,and was commanded
by the celebrated Nate.
This is the way in which the General Armario
was taken. Cruising near Cape Trafalgar, she ran
alongside a French cruiser to ask for water. " I
have not any said the Frenchman, but there is a
corvette which can give it to you." The Colombian
then came close to the Descubierta, who had hoisted
French colours, and asked for a few casks of water;
but instead of water they sent her bullets, and she
was compelled to surrender, as, although an excellent
sailer, the corvette could have run her down.

PORTUGUESE QUESTION.

(From the Monitor and Gazette de France)

PARIS, AUG. B.—The affairs of Portugal uncea-
singly exercise the sagacity of the English and French
journals. Nothing can be more natural. The most
important questions—all the questions of the day--
connect themselves with this question.
That which ought to tend essentially to furnish a
solution to it, is the fact, that all parties seem agreed
on the essential point—namely, that the anarchy
wli:ch prevails in that part of the Peninsula is the
only source of alarm and annoyance. The only dif-
ference is, as to the remedy. The Times, and all
our liberal opposition, obstinately maintain that the
remedy is to be found in the return of Don Pedro to
Portugal; we, on the contrary, look for it in the ac-
cession of Don Miguel to the Regency. It is be-
tween these two measures that a choice is to be
made.

We must observe, in the 'first place, that a war
is never terminated without conditions, which are
too often themselves the source of future wars;
that in the old as in the new world, at the end of a
political debate, as at the end of a judicial debate,
there remains always the articles of injured interests,
and the vanquished must pay the expenses of the
struggle. That is the time for studying the resour-
ces of a country, or to invent, to meet its wants, new
ones. If territory be acquired or ceded, the conse-
quent arrangements or the derangements have equally
their embarrassments. We say nothing of the mul-
.

titude of litigious questions, -which the treaty has
not been able to foresee, and which the occasion
gives rise to.

We ask if,in this state of things, it would be well to
counselDonPedrotb undertake a voyage 4,000 leagues
to Portugal and back again? Who will govern Brazil
during this long absence ? A Council of Regency
is always dangerous, even in consolidated monarchies.
What would it be in an infant monarchy, which the
spirit of Republicanism besieges, and perhaps go-
verns ? A physical impossibility opposes the con-
centration of power in a single person of the Royal
Blood, since the Emperor has no Consort, and his
children are of tender years. The conclusion of a
peace, therefore, will not facilitate the voyage of the
Emperor.
Let us now suppose the difficulties with respect
to Brazil got over, and look on those which await
Don Pedro in Europe.
He has declared solemnly, that, "it is incompatible
with the interests of Brazil and those of Portugal
that he, Don Pedro, shall continue King of Por-
tuel." Take care that this is not an incompati-
bility founded on the difference of legislations, which
on the contrary, strongly resemble each other, but
on the necessity which exists for a difference between
the " dominations." It would not be, then, to.
govern Portugal that he would come. What will
he do there then ? What benefit will lie bring. to
the Portuguese ? How long will he remain among
them ? What will become of Brazil during his
absence ? What will become of Portugal when he
shall have left it ? Who will profit from this
voyage ? Brazil ? No; for during the•time which
it consumes, Brazil will be deprived of a Sovereign,
whose presence, up to this time, has appeared in-
dispensable to the maintenance of its tranquillity.
Will this voyage, then, be profitable to Portugal ?
No; for how can its interests be advanced by the
temporary presence of a Sovereign who abdicates in
favour of a child eight years old, and who after, as
before his voyage, is obliged to confide the Regency

to those in whose hands it has produced the effects
we now witness; or to him, whose accession would
render this voyage useless ? The question still re-
turns to this—who will profit from this voyage ?
Surely some one ought to profit from it. We, in
fact, think that it will be profitable to those who
desire a revolution in Brazil, and fresh disorders in
Portugal.
The Constitutionnel, in discussing this subject, re-
proaches us with a contradiction. When they quote,
they ought to quote fairly. We have not said that
the Portuguese Charter would never be popular.—
We have said that it was not for us to inquire whe-
ther it ever would be so. It must, at any rate, be
admitted that it is not very popular at present.
That which has been described as a decision on our
part, was, on the contrary, a refusal to decide.
But supposing that, in our view of the subject, the
Charter does not suit Portugal, would that be a mo-
tive to recommend the non-observance of it to the
Prince, who claims, in his own name, the reins of
the State, [lnd who waits to take them till the time
appointed for it shall arrive ? If the Charter is im-
perfect, it carries in its own bosom the remedy,
since it establishes a representative Government.
If the manner of the people for whom it is made re-
quire that it shall one day be modified, it points it-
self to the course which should be followed to effect
the necessary modification. Until then it is the law
of the land, it is the title of the Regent, it is a sacred
deposit in his hands.
The enemies of Don Miguel do. not consider
themselves beaten. It is incredible what clouds
they conjure up to conceal an evident right, whether
they look at it as a national convenience, or as a
constitutional necessity. The correspondent of the
journal which we have quoted has distinguished him-
self, above all others, by the subtleness of his chi-
canery.
According to him, the 92d article could never
apply to Don Miguel, because it is, at present, only
applicable to Donna Isabella. This is exactly what
it would be to plead that a minor can never dispose
of his property, because he is not yet of age.
But, say they, the proof that Don Miguel cannot
profit from the article 92 is, that article 00 interdicts
to the husband of the Queen all participation in the
Government, until that she has become a mother by
him. Is not this to confound two situations alto-
gether distinct from each other ? When Don Mi-
guel shall be the husband of his niece, she will have
gained her majority. There will then be no longer
a Regency; and until she attains her majority, a
Regency is necessary; and so long as a Regency
shall be necessary, it is necessary that the persons
invested with it shall satisfy all the conditions of the
Charter. There is no occasion here for the least
delusion. Don Miguel, as Regent, ought to exer-
cise all the powers given by the Charter to the Re-
gent. As husband to the young Queen, he ought
to rest satisfied with all the honours which the
Charter reserves to the husband of the young Queen.
These are two personages separated by a distinction
as clear as the light of day.
They quote even the words of the Act of Abdi-
cation. Let us see what these words are :—" I de-
clare, that my daughter, Queen Regent of Portugal,
shall not quit the empire of Brazil without its being
previously known officially, that the Constitution
has been sworn to, according to my commands, and
without the espousals of the marriage, which I pro-
pose to make her contract with my dearly beloved
and honoured brother, the Infant Don Miguel, has
been celebrattd, and the marriage completed; and
this abdication and this cession not take place, i
either of these conditions shall not be satisfied."

We may defy the most intrepid pupil of Scott to
find in this passage any thing which excludes Don
Miguel from the Regency. All that can be inferred
from it is, that the abdication shall be null, if the
marriage of Don Miguel is not completed at that
period when it will be possible to complete it. The
question hinges only on that.
Further, is it not very probable, that the words
" marriage completed" are only a matter of style,
adding nothing to the meaning of the phrase ? Since
the decision of political interests is referred to gram-
mar, we'admit that grammar does not give to the
word " two" the value of the word " three." Now,
according to the adversaries of Don Miguel, there
are three conditions which Don Pedro will have im-
posed before the abdications will be definitive—this
oath, the espousals, and the consummation.
In all cases they say, it is for Don Pedro to de-
cide; author of the Charter, he alone knows the
true meaning of it. If this assertion, registered in
the Constitutionnel, be compared with so many others
with which it troubles itself till the remembrance of
them is effaced, it is impossible not to remark that
a great revolution has taken place in its ideas. In-
deed, by force of liberalism it will fall, if it do not
take eare, into serviliam. Behold, he who has de-
fined the Regency an immovable authority, grants
to Don Pedro the right of regulating it as he may
please in maintaining in it the Infanta kis sister, or in
conferring it on whom he thinks good. The mad
management of the enemies of Don Miguel is great,
and the Emperor has few thanks to offer to them
for the character of animosity, and almost of faction,
which they have bestowed on his Charter.
To conclude. The spirit and the text of the
Charter, the interest of Brazil, and that of Portugal,
the repose of Europe, as well as that of America—
in fine, the common law of nations, all oppose them-
selves to the return of Don Pedro—all reject the
authority of an arbiter who has disqualified himself.
We repeat it, he has abdicated. He declares him-
self that his abdication is not the consequence of
disgust, or of any secret inspiration, but the effect
of a radical impossibility, which must, therefore, re-
main the same after his return as it is before his depar-
ture. To proclaim this principle, and shortly after-
wards to unite in himself two powers which oppose
each other, would not be an act of sound policy:—
Europe and America would think themselves played
with. Out of this violation of the Charter by its
author—out of this contempt for a necessity by him
who had solemnly recognised it, perplexities and
conflicts would arise, of which human wisdom can-
not determine the issue. It is a principle, admitted
in all times, that an individual cannot re-ascend the

throne which he has voluntarily resigned, and that
the affairs of nations ought to be made independent
of caprice. Thus Europe has not considered the
successor of Victor Amedee a bad son for having
repressed the returning ambition of his father.
The presence of Don Pedro in Portugal would
only serve to revive party differences, to rekindle
civil war, to furnish motives or pretexts to his ene-
mies in America, for rendering void the Charter
which he has given as a pledge of peace—in a word,
seriolslyto compromise the throne which he aban-

dons, and the throne which he retains, the repose of
Brazil, and that of the Peninsula. Convulsions of
all sorts appear to us bound up with the project, and
ready to Issue forth to affect the world. Let us

hope, with the friends of order and peace, that this
apprehension will not be realized.

TURKISH OPIUM EATERS.—Rigid Mus-
sulmans condemn the use of opium, and their
preachers declaim against it from the pulpit.
One day, a very holy and zealous preacher, in
holding forth with more than ordinary warmth
against this vile drug, by great bad luck let fall
his own opium-pouch among his auditory.
Without being in the least abashed, he, with the
greatest presence of mind, affected to have pre-
meditated what had happened so much against
his will, and exclaimed—" Behold the enemy,
the demon, the fiend I have been speaking of !
Be upon your guard lest it spring upon some of
you, and gain possession of your souls !" By
this delicate turn he affected his escape from
public ridicule or execration.—London Weekly
