PORTUGAL.

BRITISH HEAD-QUARTHRS AND POSITION OF THE BRITISH

TROOPS-BATALIIA, ALCOBACA, TORRES YEDRAS, AND

3IAFFRA.

As the appearance of head-quarters naturally
suggests the position of the army, I enclose you
the following outline of it, on the accuracy of
which you may rely. At Coimbra, which was
at first head-quarters, there still remains a brigade
of infantry, consisting of four regiments, the 4th,
the 10th, the Rifles, and the 23d. A troop of
cavalry of the 10th Hussars is attached to this
brigade, alOng with some Portuguese artillery.
At Thomar, and in the neighbourhood, is ano-
ther infantry brigade, consisting of three regi-
ments, and a regiment of cavalry. This portion
of the troops is very much scattered among the
villages in the neighbourhood of the above-men-
tioned town, and towards the town of Abrantes,
on the Tagus. A brigade of Guards occupies
Cartaxo: Three batteries of artillery, consisting
of 12 guns, occupy Villa Franca, and the vil-
lages towards Rio Mayor, in the interior, and
those immediately up the Tagus. Two troops
of the 10th Hussars, consisting each of 65 men,
the Staff corps, and the head of the Commissa-
riat, occupy Leyria. A troop of the 10th Hus-
sars occupies Batalha. Our small army of not
more than 7,000 men is thus scattered over a
line of more thin 80 miles between the Tagus
and the Mondego. The reason why so large a
portion of it was placed at the two extremities
towards the North, and.doWn towards Abrantes,
is that General Clinton was desirous of at once
supporting the Constitutional army which ex-
pelled the rebels, and slowing force against the
Spanish troops assembling lately near Elvas.
The difficulty of procuring forage and provi-
sions for our small army in a cc .atry so poor as
the interior ,-)f Portugal;and of transporting them
from one place to another on roads .so neglected,
renders necessary an amount of commissariat
sufficient in other circumstances for.quadruple
the force. It would scarcely be believed, if it
were not stated on the best
,authority, that the
corn which feeds the troops of the 10th Hussars
at head-quarters, is obliged to be sent round
from Lisbon to the port of Figuera; at the
mouth of the Mondego, and is thence transported
by oxen, or on the backs of mules, to Leyria,
Batalha, and Rio Mayor. The town of Leyria
is beautifully and picturesquely situated in the
midst of a narrow valley. It is the see of a
Bishop, in whose palace General Clinton has his
apartments. This prelate suffers so much from
bad health, that he never yet has been able to
proceed to Lisbon to take his seat in the House
of Peers. The revenues of his bishopric are col-
lected in kind. The granaries or magazines near
the episcopal palace are extensive, and when I
looked into them on Tuesday, were filled with
people buying the Bishop's corn, or accounting
fbr their rents with the Bishop's steward. In the
town there are no less than five or six convents,
any one of which, together with its church,
would be nearly sufficient to contain the half of
the inhabitants. The French, in their retreat
under Massena, committed dreadful ravages in
this city, setting fire to many houses and con-
vents, few of which have since been repaired.
The convent of Batalha, the finest Gothic
structure in Portugal, and perhaps one of the
most striking in the world, is distant about two
leagues from Leyria, and about half a league
from the northern high road to Lisbon. The
grandeur of its design arid the delicacy of its ex-
ecution confer as much honour on the genius of
the architect, as its expensive erection, in the
midst of a desert, reflects disgrace on the super-
stitious extravagance of the monarch who founded
it. It is pleasing to think that the number of
monastic drones whom its revenues now main-
tain is only about sufficient to look after the pre-
servation of the building.
This is the last place on the road towards the
west in which any British troops are stationed.
Alcobaca, about the distance of 12 miles, is the
richest monastic establishment now in Portugal,
or in the world. Erected by Alfonso 1., the
founder of the monarchy, to commemorate the
great victory by which its independence was se-
cured, it has survived all the shocks to which the
monarchy has been exposed. The magnificence
of its kitchen alone, more than 100 feet long, and
traversed by the water of eight fountains, would,
in the absence of better topics, supply a subject
for an ordinary volume of travels ; but I must
satisfy myself at present with saying, that even in
the present diminished state of its monkish po-
pulation, it shelters under its roof, and maintains
by its revenues, upwards of 70 fathers, and about
600 domestics and labourers of all sorts ; that
its domains extend more than 20 miles in one
direction and 15 in another ; that it includes in
the circuit of its sway 13 market-towns and large
villages ; that it has two sea-ports, and as many
fortresses, within its territory ; that its monks
are generally Fidalgos, and that these Fidalgos
are considered in their corporate capacity more
richly endowed than the representatives of the
Royal Family of Portugal.
From Alcobaca to Maffra, through Caldas
and Torres Vedras, is a distance of about 60
miles, but the badness of the roads to Torres
Vedras makes the journey as tedious as if it were

triple the length. At Maffra, the monastic es-
tablishment, which in the time of its founder,
John V., amounted to more than 300, is now
reduced to 42. They are Franciscans—have
no revenues but a pension from the Crown,
which they complain is now reduced to 12,000
new crowns, and they possess the range- of the
Royal Tapada or park, which is 12 miles in cir-
cumference. Their revenues do not much ex-
ceed their allowance. Hoping to be able to re-
turn upon the latter part of this interesting tour,
I beg to conclude at present with only a remark
or two. In the first place, we see in those three
splendid establishments of Batalha, Alcobaca,
and Maffra, erected and still maintained by super-
stition, a powerful enemy with which the charter
has still to contend. The Monks of Alcobaca
may be as good landlords and as noble Fidalgos
ag if they did not hold their lands by the tenure
of praying for the soul of their founder,
or administer their revenues by a superior
and a chapter. Where property of this kind has
long been allowed to be sacred, when the original
object was out-grown, this monastery might
reckon itself secure. But it is evident that the
fathers dread a change, if the Charter takes root,
and they are consequently against it. It may
be easily guessed what members their opinions
must influence. In the last place, I must con-
fess that in the whole of this journey of five
days, in Which I entered many houSes, and con-
versed with many persons, I neither heard a
Constitutional feeling expressed, nor saw a poli-
tical journal to read. The constitutions of La-
mego, and the history of the five Moorish kings,
whose defeat this act of independence was inten-
ded to commemorate, seemed to be as much in
the minds of the people as Don Pedro's charter
or the victories of Villa Flor. Nor probably is
this a great objection to the Charter, which has.
been of too short duration, and too moderately
administered, to have excited any violent feeling
of love or hatred. Had the two Chambers, in-
stead of avoiding irritating language, or mena-
cing conduct, ordered our Lady of the Rabbit-
hole to work no more miracles, and confiscated
the greater proportion of church property, they
might have made themselves talked of indeed ;
but they themselves would not have enjoyed the
power of talking legislatively much longer.

A PORTUGUESE INN.—Next to the dangers
and annoyances of the roads are, to some, the
no less formidable terrors of a Portuguese inn,
or estalagem. One must be imbued with the
tastes or prepared for the sacrifices of a gipsy or
a pilgrim, to support with patience the nuisances
which he must here encounter. The only thing
which the traveller finds ready in the way of
food is some hard fish and coarse bread. If dis-
posed to_ rest till something more palateable
procured, the only temptation which the estalas
geiro can offer to his appetite is a fowl killed
after his arrival. If he consents to this treat, a
chase immediately commences round the yard,
the cry of murder is heard in the kitchen, and in
two hours the galinha, smothered in rice, ap-
pears on the table. You are fortunate if you
can get a chair to sit on, or a clean knife and
fork to employ in attempting to make an im-
pression on the obstinate and tasteless fibres of
this product of Portuguese cookery. An epicure
would certainly die of starvation, or commit sui-

tide in three days, if limited to the fare of a
country estalagem.. The scene of dirt and filth
in which this unsavoury mess is served up, would
prevent him from touching it, were not his taste,
like the garrison of a blockaded town, taken by
famine. When obliged to halt for the night,
your accommodation for repose is even worse
than your bill of fare. You are led into a room

like a hay-loft above the stable, (which generally
occupies the lower floor of the house), the win-
dows having generally wooden shutters, but no
glass, and the floor gaping with chinks, through
which you can keep up your intercourse with the
faithful animals which have carried you during
the day, or enjoy the music of their bells. You
are enabled to witness the sweeping of your
apartment—to see the boards brought in to sup-
port your bed, or the mattress extended on the
floor, and the complete improvisation of your
night's comforts. The muleteer, who sleeps in
the stable, and his master and his mules, are thus
placed in comfortable contiguity ; but of the three
parties the mules have generally the best of it,
as there is no evidence of their suffering from the
little black " bed-fellows " that insist upon shar-
ing the society of the weary traveller, and leaving
upon his body such unequivocal memorials of
their tormenting presence. Then the dogs are
unfortunately as great favourites with the inha-
bitants of the country, and as vigorous howlers
at the moon, as in Lisbon. What, therefore,
with beds as little Macadamized as the roads—
with vermin devouring you—with bells tinkling
below you, and curs howling at your window, if
you enjoy an hour's repose you may ascribe it
more to the excess of your fatigue than to the
blessings of your accommodation.

PORTUGUESE ROADS.--The distance be-

tween Lisbon and Leyria (the British head-
quarters) is only about 20 Portuguese leagues,
or 80 English miles ; but let not those unac-
quainted with travelling in Portugal imagine that
there is no courage or enterprise in undertaking
it. To traverse such a space on English roads,
and with English post-horses, would be an affair
of eight or nine hours ; but in Portugal it be-
' comes a toilsome march of two days, not unac-
companied with danger and hardship. The
road, which is one of the great highways of the
kingdom, and which may even be called the
" Great Northern Road" of Portugal, connect-
ing its two commercial capitals together, by pass-
ing through its only university, is probably more
rugged and formidable than a merely English
imagination can conceive. Many parts of it had
once been badly paved, but they seem not to
have undergone any repairs since the expedition
of King Sebastian to Africa, and, probably, with-
out a change of Government, would not be
touched till his return. In some places, the tra-
veller is obliged to abandon the ancient line alto-
gether, and $:) find a new track for himself the
best way lie can, by cautiously picking his steps
over bare rocks, or treading knee-deep among
barren sands over the steep mountains, and
through the extensive pine groves, in which he
must steer his course. The only benefit in such
cases which he derives from the labours of his
ancestors, or the care of cotemporary authorities,
is the use of a ruinous bridge over the rivulet or
stream of some deep ravine, which, without such,
an accommodation, would be impassable. The
jolting of a carriage among the loose stones,
which seem rather the materials collected for
making a road, than a road, or over the exposed
and elevated roots of trees, from which the tor-
rents have washed away the earth, requires con-
siderable skill to avoid broken bones. The
cross-roads which we had to pass in returning
are still worse if possible. Between Batalha
Torres Vedras, we were trice overturned—
oftener in danger of being so—and several times
turned back to select a new path. It is the more
galling to see such
_neglect in the: latter case,
because the surrounding country is rich and po-
pulous—because the materials of road-making
are at hand—and because a few days' labour
in the year would be sufficient to keep them ill
perfect repair.

lately inserted an article from the Oriental Specta-
tor, in which Austria was represented as opposed to
the negotiations in favour of the Greeks. We find
the . following passage in the Austrian -Observer,
under the head of Constantinople :
" The new Ordinances, as well as the preparations
for the campaign this year against the insurgents,
have, for some time past, excited, in a high degree,
the attention of the public, who are extremely de-
sirous to see an end put to the confusion and dis-
order which has prevailed for some years in the re-
volted countries—a wish which is shared by all the
friends of humanity, and is continually advocated at
the Porte by the Ambassadors of the European
powers, whose constant efforts tend to the establish-
ment and preservation of tranquillity in Europe."
The hotel of the English Legation was splendidly
illuminated yesterday evening, in honour of the King
of England's birth-day, notwithstanding the absence
of Lord Granville.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 26.—The Reis-Ef-
fendi, Seida Effendi, after repeated solicitations on
account of his bad health, received on the 23d his
discharge from the office of Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs, which he had held ever since 1823. All those
who are acquainted with him do justice to his
talents, his uprightness, the moderation of his sen-
timents, and his obliging manners. The surest
proof that he has not fallen into disgrace is, that he
is continually visited by the great men of the empire.
His successor, who was appointed the same day,
is Mahomet. Seid Perten Effendi, who for some years
past has held an important post in the foreign de-
partment.
The formation of regular troops proceeds rapidly
both here and in Asia. There are 3,600 men It
Adrianople, and 2,400 at Bruassa, ready to march;
6,000 set out "from this city on the 18th for the
head-quarters at Lariisa, who are perfectly organised
in the European manner. Besides detachments of
cavalry and artillery, they have a military chest for
the regular payment of the men, a head surgeon and
assistants, and a good stock of medicine and surgi-
cal instruments. The local authorities are ordered
to supply them with provisions.
In the arsenal great activity is also displayed.
Twenty ships of war are also at znchor in the 80.-
phorus, and the whole fleet of thirty sail will be
ready to put to sea in three weeks, under the Pa-
trona Bey.
All these- new institutions costing the Govern-
ment large sums, it has become necessary to impose
taxes never before thought of, on shops, houses,
magazines, &c. The capitation is raised to 36 pias-
tres for the higher classes, 21 for the middling, and
12 for the lower. Other measures have been taken
relative to the registering of the Greeks, Armenians,
and Jewi, not for military service, but to render the
levy of the taxes more easy. The customs on seve-
ral productions of the Ottoman empire, for instance,
.eaw silk, which is taxed double, have been raised in
proportion.,
The last accounts from Athens are to the 9th of
March. Karaiskaki, after having caused Omer Paella;
a great loss at Destomo, but without being able to
hinder hini from retreating with the remainder of his
troops towards Talandi, had arrived the same day at
Eleusis.

(From the Journal des Debats.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 26.—There is no ap-
pearance of the negociations in favour of the Greeks
leading to a speedy result. The Reis Effendi has
declared mots than once, verbally, to the Ministers
of the Mediating Powers, that the Sultan will never
agree to any mediation between himself and his re;
bel subjects. The Ramadan commences to-morrow;
and as the Divan does no business during that pe-
riod, until after the Bairam (Easter), and as the
Reis Effendi has" been succeeded by Besikhbii
Perten-Effendi, matters hare become so involved;
that no one cait foresee the-issue. The Porte seeks
%nerdy to gain time. The successor of the Reis
:Effendi is a very insignificant man. We must wait
for the ulterior steps which the Ambassadors of
Russia and England are perhaps authorised to take.
(Foul the Quotidienne of Wednesday.)
PARIS, APRIL 24.—We have shown the probable
consequences of Mr, Canning's ascendancy, as far all
it regards England. We think we have not exag-
gerated any thing hi the picture of misfortunes which
threaten the three kingdoms, in consequence of the
deplorable system which thrusts Radicalism into the
State; but the thing which, in this complete
change of political circumstances, engrosses the
attention of the French Royalists, is, above all, the
weighing of the good or ill chances which this event
seems to afford to us, according as our Cabinet will
continue to follow the course traced out by Mr.
Canning, or as it may return to the old monarchical
system of Europe.
We must observe that the triumph of Mr. Can-
ning is the triumph of revolution, not only in his
own country, where the out-and-out party of inno-
vators plunges into the footsteps of this daring poli-
iieian, but in all countries, where England exercises
any influenc2 whatever, either by her armed force,
industry, or alliances and the secret channels of di-
plomacy. , The system of Mr. Canning cannot there-
fore be acted upon now-a-days without approaching
revolutions more cr less. This is evident with
respect to Portugal, Spain; and the States of Ame-
rica, where Mr. Canning 'manifestly seeks all sorts
of concessions which are ruinous to the old autlui-
sity of monarchies. But will that not be equally
applicable to France, if we continue to follow the
policy of that Minister, and if we confide our inte-
rests to the success of a system which brings into
play the poptilar passions; and calls in the aid Of
petulant, discontented, and seditious men ? The
effeets of a political discrepancy never fail to be per-
ceived. If the policy of France remains identified
with the policy of Mr. Canning, it will be sedn
whether the consequences of this gross error will not
develope themselves with a frightful rapidity. The
progress of the popular party has raised Mr. Can-
ning by degrees into power; and the alliance of our
Ministry with Mr. Canning will all at once develope
our Democracy, which must tend, by this sudden
effort, to put itself in unison with the Democracy
of England, in order that everything may proceed
nniformly---power as well as faction. This appears
inevitable, if We only examine the singular dispo-
sition of the people to put themselves into whatever
situation the policy, of Government points out to
them, as neither the nature of societies or of indi-
viduals can endure a position which is repugnant to
good sense, and causes a laborious and troublesottie
life. I
Thus our alliance with Mr. Canning's policy na-
turally rouses democratical passions, and what is re-
markable, this policy of Mr. Canning, which, in his
own country, is the effect of a democracy, that has
slowly reached a formidable degree of power, Will
become with us the cause of a power suddenly de-
veloped, and so much the more violent, as it shot op
rapidly. The Executive of France will have sorer
trouble in attempting to moderate this ardour of
ehangements to which it gave itself birth. A sin-
gular contradiction ! The Ministry sees no vigdur
except in the industrious policy of Mr. Canning, and
it will soon be obliged to seek assistance for restrain-
ing its tumultuous rise. But will it have any right
to complain of the triumph of popular opinions !at
home, whilst it adopts abroad systems which
form a living expression thereof? And if the
Monarchy is shaken by radicalism, may it not be
justly reproached with having sought radicalism, as
an auxiliary ?
It is a great misfortune for any not
to know how to put its policy in unison with the
great interests of society. The immediate chances of
an alliance, and the probable effects of an intriiue,
are calculated, as well as the movements and strata-
gems of diplomacy; and all this is confined to a mo-
mentary thought, to a point of self-love and triumph
of vanity. But it would be requisite to see further
into futurity. After some days intrenchreent in
power by paltry combinations, men are astonished to
—.l anfaAhhari .nd threatened by reyolu-

tionary ideas, which they imagined to have master-
ed, because they retained the management of State
affairs. This is all the adoption. of Mr. Canning's
system promises to Ministers ; an appearance of
strength, which will deceive themselves, whilst
the democratical party acquires a real force which,
will alone comprehend the inevitable resources
of this improvident policy, whilst all doctrines of.
order and legitimacy are abandoned abroad for the
purpose of augmenting, for a single day, I know not
what material prosperity, which leaves uneasiness in
all ranks behind itself; the revolutionary doctrines
will alter in conscience the love of the Monarch, and
the submission to the laws of the country at home.
People will accustom themselves not to consider any
thing as legitimate except what brings in money, or
is conducive to some emolument whatever. After
having found in the crash of distant Thrones, and
in the shaking of ancient societies, a source of riches
and the means of industry ; the circumstance of the
institutions and laws of the country being threat-
ened by some grand overthrow will scarcely be
heeded. And who knows ? These changes in them-
selves may afford some hope ; and after all this, is it
useful, is it true, that we ought to sacrifice ourselves
for mere theories ?

Such is the progress of a policy reposing exclu-
sively upon industry and the material interests of
man. It brutalizes the intelligence, and extirpates
patriotism—it alters and extinguishes all the senti-
ments of citizens. This, however, is the system
now proposed to France as an admirable improve-
ment. We precipitate ourselves in the footsteps of
4r. Canning, who commenced to make a happy ex-
periment thereof in his own country; and the pinnacle
of skill, we are told, consists in imitating this beau-
tiful model, and to open forourselves the same sources
of industry. Once more we repeat, let us have no com-
plaints of what we ourselves produced with premedi-
tation. We shall have a material society, freed of
all sorts of ties of dependence and affection: This is
a perfection which we shall have sought ourselves,
and we should applaud this hidden effect of a re-
fined policy—the happy rival of Mr. Canning's sys-
tem. Perhaps workshops will become the jus pub-
Ileum and law of nations, and, from time to time,
mechanics will be found bursting into the capital to
participate in the progress of society. What occa-
sion is there to take alarm at this ? What right has
any one to impede this tumultuary expression of opi-
nions, which will have been introduced in the first
place as a rule in the political system of the State.
These gross contradictions cannot be maintained by
any one.

If the system of industry is the foundation of our
policy, it ought to be carried to the last extreme.

I know not whether our Ministers have ever me-
ditated on the absolute laws of logic, to comprehend
the reasoning I here premise. It is certain, how-
ever, that the public does not deceive itself by its
own instinct respecting the necessary results of a
false system. Alliances are forming with the doc-
trines of Mr. Canning, which favour revolutions and
changes in all places; and the people will likewise
make their alliances with the rebels and seditious.—
And it will be necessary to allow this ; for what
reasonable authority will there remain to hinder such
imitations ? Ido not call the arm of gend'armes,
which wields a sabre, and occasionally uses it in case
of need—authority. For authority is right, and the
right no longer belongs to him who has sacrificed it
as a vain chimera for the hope of material prosperity
and momentary interests.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

(From the Baltimore Federal Gazette.)

Rio JANEIRO, JAN. 26.—Since the arrival of the
Emperor from the South, occurrences have taken
place which not only justify the gloomy aspect I
gave you by the ship General Smith of the situation
of affairs in this country, but they would almost in-
duce the opinion that revolution, in some shape or
other, must be the consequence at no very dis-
tant day.

I will not now dwell upon the ridiculous figure
the Emperor has exhibited himself in to his people
by his idle parade to the Rio Grande, and of his
sudden and unexpected return ; let it suffice for the
present to say, that he expended out of the national
finances (already greatly impoverished) upon this
occasion, about .500,000 dollars, and has shown his
" liege subjects" that among his "kingly attributes"
fickleness is displayed in rather too conspicuous a
position. No one has yet contended, no matter how
bigotted his devotion to Don Pedro, or bow blind
to his imperfection, that this expedition has been
attended with the slightest conceivable benefit to
the country.
But the circumstance to which I had particular
allusion in my first paragraph, is the dismissal from
office, and that for "a worthless woman," of the
Ministers of Finance, War, Foreign Affairs, and
Marine. Scarcely had he landed before these dis-
tinguished dignitaries were informed that their ser-
vices would be no longer required, and that they
must hold their respective departments in readiness

to be delivered over to their successors. No cause
of complaint, that I have been able to learn, exists
against the manner in which these " deranged" of-
ficers have discharged their public functions; and
the public sentiment is most unequivocally against
the Emperor; he has not thought it politic to give
to the inhabitants of Rio Janeiro the most distant

intimation of the causes which have governed him
in making this change ; what has produced it, how-
ever, is perfectly well understood. Unfortunately
for the Emperor and for his country, he is swayed
by a woman, and it was through the poison admi-
nistered by her, that these distinguished men have
been obliged to retire. Some time anterior to the
death of that estimable woman, the late Empress,
the fact of the Emperor having a mistress became
so notorious that he did not scruple to be seen with
her upon the most public occasions, and at last pub-
licly acknowledged his illicit intercourse with her,
by conferring upon her daughter the title of Duchess,
thus advertizing to the world of her being his child.
It seems that, through the accidental or intentional
omission of the Ministers, this little Duchess re-
ceived no card of invitation to the funeral of the
Empress, and, indeed, had no notification of the
decease of the Empress, except what was common
to all the inhabitants, and this is the "head and
front of the offending" of the dismissed Ministers.
The mother could not brook the insult—knowing
the mastery she had over Don Pedro, she wrote to
him while he was yet at the theatre of war, of this
galling indignity offered to his child, and peremptorily
demanded the punishment of those to whom it was
chargeable, which demand he immediately complied
with, without condescending to inquire into the par-
ticulars, or asking the implicated if they had a justifi-
cation to answer.

------ - -
You know it is but a little while ago that the pro-
vince of .Pernambuco was in a state of open rebellion.
Although the Republican spirit which disclosed it-
self has been checked, it is not extinguished, and it
awaits but an auspicious opportunity again to display
itself, In Bahia, the materials of revolution have
been gathering for some time; and although the
Emperor, during his visit there, exerted himself to
conciliate the inhabitants, yet his efforts were as un-
successful as they have been on his more recent ex-
pedition to the South. The provinces of the Banda
Oriental have little affection for him, and it is only
at this place that his devotees have boastingly said
he reigned in the hearts of the people. A perse-
verance in his late course of conduct will show that
they " calculate without their host." The Ministers
whom he has dismissed are men of family and dis-
tinction—they have extensive connections and nu-
merous friends—all these—those who have hereto-
fore experienced Don Pedro's tyranny—those who
are opposed to the present war (which is waging to
the commercial destruction of a great portion of the
Brazilian merchants)—those who are connected
either by business or in say other way with Pernam-
buco, Bahia, the more northern provinces, or the
Banda Oriental—those who disapprove of his con-
duct to the Empress—those who dislike his liber-
tinism, and those in favour of Republicanism, are all
disposed to view the Emperor with a jealous eye,

and the time seems to be approximating when they
Nvi 11 magnify a small fault into a monstrous vice.

Every thing induces me to believe that a change
of some kind in this Government will take place
before very long. This opinion is not hastily formed
but from a calm contemplation of things as they have
appeared to me. This is the only Government in
South America that is not Republican.

As an evidence that the most eminent men in
Brazil consider the country in a very unsettled state,
I mention the fact that a number of gentlemen of
high character have declined becoming Members of
the Cabinet, although solicited to do so by the
Emperor.—This fact is notorious.

I heard an anecdote, yesterday, strongly illustra-
tive of the folly of the Emperor's late expedition to
the south. While he was lying off St. Catherine,
in the seventy-four Don Pedro, a Buenos Ayrean
corvette, of twenty-two guns, commanded by an
American, happening to come in, the fog being ex-
tremely thick, he did not discover the seventy-four
until he was close under her guns, when he ex-
pected to be blown every moment to atoms, but to
his great astonishment, and to his no less gratifica-
tion, he was permitted quietly to pass without being
noticed. The seventy-four contained the Emperor,
and it is contrary to precedent for a ship having so
august a personage on board, to enter into an en-
gagement; it is questionable whether the Comman-
der would be justified in acting upon the defensive.
The Buenos Ayreans, no doubt, wish him to con-
tinue to accompany his fleet, for while he does so
he must be perfectly harmless.
JAN. 27.—The United States ship Boston, came
in yesterday from Monte Video, in fifteen days but
without a single letter, nor can we obtain a word
from any one on board as to the state of the market.
Admiral Brown is reported to have gone lip the
Uruguay with several of his little squadron, after re-
turning in safety to Buenos Ayres in his late cruise
on this coast. The schooners Honer and Richard,
G. Cox, were taken up the river, attempting to get
into that port, and sent to Monte Video, but imme-
diately released by the Brazilian Admiral,. who, it
seems, has determined to observe the American
principles of blockade towards American vessels.
This may lead to dissatisfaction and difficulty with
other nations, particularly the English, who no doubt
will insist on the same rights.
Though the Emperor shows no disposition what-
ever to conciliate with Buenos Ayres, except on his
own ter:ls, an opinirm prevails with many people
that the war will be brought to a conclusion ere
long, through the mediation of Mr. Gordon, the
British Minister, who is daily expected from Rio
Grande, and is said to be commissioned by the other
party to negotiate for peace, under the sanction of
his own Government. We hear these things as
they are vaguely reported, but place little confidence
in them.

(From the ConstitutionneL)

RIO JANEIRO, FEB. S.—(Extract of a private
Letter.)—We are on the eve of great events, which
must have a powerful influence over the destiny, not
only of Portugal, but of Brazil itself. Ever since
the return of Don Pedro, it is easy for any one who
has the opportunity of approaching him to discover
that he is meditating some important project; and
as he is as prompt in execution as he is quick in the
conception of new designs, we shall soon know what
to direct our attention to. In the mean time I can

assure you, that the Emperor has received, at dif-
ferent periods, from Europe, sure and circumstantial
accounts of the projects of his enemies. He is per-
fectly aware of what they are plotting at Vienna,
Paris, Madrid, and Lisbon ; he sees through their
masks, and has resolved to go in person to defeat
the intentions of the Apostolical and Absolutists by
saving Portugal, and confirming the free institutions
which he has granted—and which alone can ensure
the independence and prosperity of the kingdom.
Don Pedro has received an answer from his brother
by Mr. Newman, and he is too clear sighted not to
penetrate into the views of the Austrian Cabinet and
its confederates, who, now for the second time, avail
themselves of Don Miguel and his mother, in order
to overturn those free institutions which have been
called for by the Portuguese nation and its legitimate
King, and to wrest the Crown from him to whom
it lawfully belongs. In 1823, the same thing was
in contemplation, both with respect to Don John
the Sixth, and the Constitution Which be had
spontaneously sworn to with all sincerity of heart.
To overturn the throne had. been an old specu-
lation entertained by the Queen; for which pur-
pose she ever affected to be favourable to the
Constitution on her return to Brazil from Lisbon,
with the hope that .the King would oppose
it. She flattered herself with the prospect of suc-
cess by going with
.the Liberals, her sole object at
all times being to reign, cost what it would. As to
Don Miguel, he is not a very docile instrument ;
and I am of opinion, that the factious prefer keeping
him at a distance from an apprehension of their ex-
periencing the effects of some of his habitual sallies
of passion. It is the Queen Dowager that has leagued
with the Spanish and Apostolic faction to enchain
Portugal, wrest it from Don Pedro, and deliver it
up to Spain. But this will not be so. Thanks to
the power of Great Britain, and the provident policy
of Mr. Canning, Don Pedro can, without the fear of
losing Brazil, leave America for awhile, and proceed
to Lisbon, where duty, honour, and glory call him.
His presence will confound his enemies, and he may
calculate on the enthusiasm of the nation. The pa-
triots will heap benedictions on him—the serviles
will fall at his feet—and the army, tinder such a
Chief, will become what it was heretofore—faith-
ful to its King, and devoted to the interests of the
country, rejecting all Spanish and foreign influence.

The convocation of the Brazilian Chambers will
take place in the month of May; arid it is very pro-
bable that Don Pedro, after having obtained their
consent, will put a seal to the work which he has
commenced. He alone is able to reorganise Portu-
gal, and rescue it from the faction which, after the
example of the feeble Mary and Don John her son,
has ceased not to oppress and try experiments on
the Portuguese people for its own private profit.
Don Pedro is not ignorant, that the Government and
its different branches are in the hands of the serviles,
and the Regent can do nothing against their machi-
nations; but it is not easy to intimidate Don Pedro,
who, as soon as he shall appear among the Portu-
guese, will compel all the conspirators to return to
their original nothingness. Abrantes is the bLarer of
decrees and instructions of great importance ; but
Don Pedro knows too well the elements of which
the Ministry is composed to expect to see his orders
executed with freedom and firmness. He must go
himself, if he wish to be obeyed. Every thing in-
vites and engages him to act such a part, and no-
thing in the present situation.of Portugal opposes his
doing so.

LONDON AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY.

The foutieenth aitnivers-y Meeting of the City
of London Auxiliary Bible Society was held yester-
day at the Mansion House. The Egyptian Hall
was crowded to excess, especially with ladies.
The Lord Mayor not having been able to attend,
Sir CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER took die Chair.

Some Resolutions were passed, the effect of which
was, that the circulation of the Scriptures through
the medium of Bible Societies had produced the
most beneficial consequences i►► various parts of the
world, and that the London Auxiliary Society was
determined to persevere in its exertions to promote
the diffusion of the Scriptures,and support the British
and Foreign Bible Association.

The thanks of the Meeting were given as usual to
the Chairman, and to the Committee and other offi-
cers of the Association. A very considerable sum of
money was collected at the doors, for the objects of
the Society.

Lord Orford, speaking of the celebrated Artist
Petitot's unrivalled talent in painting miniatures,
says—" It is idle to write a panegyric on the
greatest man in any vocation."

Solicitor-General Sir N. C. TINDAL

Thus, notwithstanding the predictions of th
Ultras, Mr. CANNING has been enabled to exei-
cute the Commission of his Royal Master. Thdt
distinguished Statesman has formed a new Mini -
try, composed, we venture to predict, of material
which, cemented by a pervading liberality, will
bid defiance to the malice and artifices of his infix
riated opponents. Mr. CANNING is, of cours,
prepared for allmanner ofattacks on his consistency
and public spirit, but we would venture to warn
him of one awful peril which awaits him. We
are informed that a certain Learned Lord and a
Gallant Colleague of Ducal rank, mean "to speak
out," regarding the treatment which they have
experienced from Mr. CANNING. Now, if there
is any truth in this rumour, which we have heard
from some of their admirers, we shall anxiously
await such a display of ennobled vituperation. No
doubt the philippics of DENIOSTIIENES and
of CICERO will be thrown into the shade, and
JuNtus would, if necessary, hide his diminished
head. For our own parts, unless we lived in an
age of wonders, we could not for a moment
believe that these Noble Persons would seek any
thing but obscurity, till time, in a measure,
obliterated the memory of their transgression.
But really there is no saying how far desperatith
may urge men to get deeper in the mire, and it
is quite possible that the Ex-Party may volun-
tarily put themselves on their defence, only to
draw down the accumulated indignation of their
countrymen.

The events of the last fortnight have afforded
another proof that the formation of a Ministry
is a work of much greater difficulty than the
uninitiated are apt to suppose. Nothing, for in-
stance, appeared easier to those who had it not
to do, than for Mr. CANNING to name to the
vacant offices a dozen or twenty persons, who
thought with him on most subjects ; and in half
an hour to inform his MAJESTY that his Royal
commands had been executed. But, un-
fortunately, at every turn he had to encounter
bigotry on the Catholic, or selfishness on the
Corn Question ; and if he had (what some
might call magnificently) disregarded such con-
siderations, it would have been a virtual refusal
to obey that SOVEREIGN, who had honoured
him by so distinguished a mark of his confidence
and favour.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the
Etoile of Thursday morning, contain nothing
important. Some additional intelligence from
Constantinople is given in the Etoile, from which
it would seem that ill health alone had occasioned
the removal from office of the REIS EFFENDI.

NI. de la BOESSIERE'S proposition for the ap-
pointment of a Committee to regulate the report
of the proceedings in the Chambers, was carried
on Tuesday by a majority of 164 against 144.
Amongst our extracts from these Papers, in
another column, we have inserted, for the amuse-
ment of our readers, a long article from the Quo-
tidienne, on the probable consequences to Eu-
rope generally, and to France in particular, of
the Ascendancy of Mr. CANNING. The Apos-
tolical Party, of which the Quotidienne is the

organ, would wish it to be believed that the
triumph of principles which will give a death-
blow to intolerance and jesuitical influence, is
dangerous to the stability of Thrones aNd to
society at large, being ignorant or unwilling to
admit the truth, that the best security of both is
to be found in the establishment of institutions
suited to the taste of the age, and to the character
of the people for whose benefit they are formed.

CARTHAMENA, MARCH 6.---You will no doubt have
heard of the expedition fitting out from this place for
Porto Rico, which is to be placed under the command of
Generals Paez and Padilla. This is no doubt done for the
express object of getting rid of two very troublesome per-
sonages, who are very annoying to General Bolivar. To
give you some idea of the state of the country, I will men-
tion one occurrence. A few days ago, at the Grand Feast,
General Padilla, for a trifling offence, stabbed a private
citizen, who died. No notice was taken of the affair, it
being nothing uncommon.
The country is completely drained of money, and not
one cent. in the Treasury. It is true there are many very
rich persons, but owing to the forced loans, the pro-
perty of such as possess any, is hidden. The army and
navy are in a dreadful state. If the men get their rations,
it is all they have to expect. The Colombia, one of their
finest vessels, attached to the squadron, is stopped for 6000
dollars to finish her outfits.

In another column will be found some inte-
resting communications from Rio de Janeiro,
taken from the American and French Papers.
It would really appear to be the intention of
Din PEDRO to proceed to Europe, to settle the
affairs of Portugal.

We received this morning German Papers to
the 22d instant. Their consents relate chiefly
to Greece, from which we may daily expect some
very important communications ; for so soon as
Lord COCIIRANE gets fairly to work, events of
magnitude will mark his career. The present
news from Greece, though perfectly in character
with late proceedings, is yet of no,moment, being
merely a squabble between some refugee Can-
diots and the Police of Naxos. Nothing certain
is known respecting the Citadel of Athens ; se-
veral attempts, with various success, have been
made to relieve the Acropolis, which, according
to the last accounts, still holds out.

We have- the greatest satisfaction in directing
attention to another part of our Paper, where it
will be seen that the noble and honourable par-
ties lately charged with a gambling conspiracy,
have been most ; honourably acquitted. The
universal opinion in Court during the trial
was, that there was no ground whatever for bring-
ing the affair before the public, either judicially
or otherwise. Perverted minds are apt to catch
at charges reflecting upon distinguished cha-
racters ; but people ought to weigh matters well
before instituting criminal proceedings in cases
where their own conduct is likely, as in the pre-
sent instance, to come out of the ordeal with the
least share of honour.
