ON THE ENGLISH OPPOSITION.

Mr. Canning is exposed to a violent Opposition,
and he is reproached with having united himself to
the moderate Whigs, who represent the enlightened
classes of England. This Minister is not shaken ;
he knows that an Opposition is a necessary element
of a free Government, and that an Administration,
strong in its principles and good intentions, must
abide the consequences. The system he has adopted
is a popular system, advantageous to the commercial
prosperity of England, and he pursues it with firm-
ness in the midst of contradictions. Some men
of talents, and Mr. Peel among others, have se-
parated themselves from Mr. Canning; but as a
compensation he receives the support of several
Members of both Houses of the most ho-
nourable character, of approved capacity, and
who enjoy the highest consideration. The names
of Lord Lansdown, Lord Holland, and Lord
Dudley and Ward, are guarantees that the
Ministry will never forsake the principles of legal
liberty, and will follow, both in foreign and home
policy, that line of conduct which has raised British
influence to so high a pitch. It is a good thing for
the Greeks that the English Administration is thus
composed. The interests of religion and humanity
will not again be sacrificed to that political selfish-
ness which degrades nations, as vulgar selfishness
degrades individuals. The news of the accession of
England to the resolutions of Russia, though it
comes late, is a fortunate event. We hope that the
interference will be immediate and active, and that
we shall not have to groan over the annihilation of
Greece. The more we know that people, the more
we are convinced that it is worthy of receiving the
benefits of independence and liberty. They have
escaped too recently from the fetters of despotism,
which corrupts and degrades every thing, not yet to
bear some of its marks; but as instruction is spread
among them, as they give themselves up to produc-
tive industry, and to the developments of their na-
tural genius, they will shorten the distance which
separates them from those nations which are ad-
vanced in civilization. The heroes of Ipsara, Mug-
solonghi, of the Acropolis, the companions of
Miaulis, and of the unfortunate Karaiskaki, are
worthy of living under the empire of law and justice.

MADRID, JUNE 28.—(Prive te Correspondence.)—
Seditious placards were lately affixed at Cuenca,
where the Police have endeavoured to discover the
authors of this crime. In consequence of this, a
lively altercation ensued between the Secretary of
the Intendant of Police and one of the Regidors,
whom the Secretary accused of being himself the
author of the placards. The Regidor complained
to Madrid, and had sufficient interest to procure the
dismissal of the Secretary.
The salary assigned to the Duke of San Carlos is
twelve thousand doubloons ; that of M. Villalba is
fixed at one thousand dollars. Some persons, who
dislike the latter, sent a representation to the King,
to which he has not deigned a reply.

LISBON, JULY 22.—An Extraordinary Council 01
State was held here yesterday. Nothing has tran•
spired. However, fresh rumoura are set afloat re-
specting a new change in the Administration.

We learn from the frontiers, that some good Por-
tuguese are constantly emigrating, whose monarchi-
cal reputation might possibly hereafter cempromise

_rilsuez

During the night of the 17th, a tumultuary assem-
bly, of about 500 persons, traversed certain streets
of Lisbon, preceded by a wre.ic.l2 " ' -A -;
rp, _ ot (..;ount Liumares, and
to that of the Marquis of Valence, singing the infa-
mous song of " Tragala." This assemblage, which
is not the first of the kind, fills all loyal men with
horror. Perhaps one of this sort may be forming, at
no very distant period, Which the police may not be
able to disperse.

The Portuguese ship Canoa sailed two days ago
for Rio Janeiro, by order of the Secretary at War,
the most influential man in the Cabinet.

The operation of recruitmeuts is carried on here
with a degree of cruelty. The Portuguese needed
but this fresh kind of vexations to disgust them with
the Government that has been imposed upon them.
LISBON, JUNE 23.--(Private Correspondence.)—
It appears that the fate of Portugal is going to be
irrevocably fixed. This will be owing to the pa-
tronage of Austria, which has interposed in a parti-
cular manner. A message from Vienna is expected
with the utmost anxiety. This piece of intelligence
has considerably calmed the public mind. There is
no doubt but that the Infant Don Miguel will
speedily arrive to rule us ; it is even asserted that
he will be crowned on the Ist of August of the pre-
sent year. All this is done with the consent of
England, as that country is well aware that this
post is not tenable. In fact, all the bargains for pro-
visions are countermanded, and the paymaster of the
British army, who had made a contract with the
French house of Guillot and Co. for the exchange
of bills upon London, has given notice to that house
that in a month this transaction is to terminate. It
is added, that the English troops, instead of return-
ing to London, are to be distributed between Gi-
braltar and Malta.

It was necessary that the Liberals of the Regency
Government renounced the alliance of the Spanish
Refugees. The indignation of the parties was so
great, that it became requisite to send several of
these foreigners to prison for making incendiary
speeches, as their expressions were of the same
stamp as the furious declamations of the former
Jacobins of France.

It is said that the Duke de Rauzan, the French
Ambassador, is on the point of departure for Paris,
and that his journey has a political object.

A singular circumstance, which seems to be cha-
racteristic of our position, is the hope daily mani-
fested by the Royalists to see Don Miguel arrive,
and the expectation entertained by the Liberals of
the arrival of Don Pedro. Both parties, perhaps,
flatter themselves with a foolish hope, but this much
is certain, that both Princes are ardently desired.

(EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER.)
AUGSBURG, JULY 4.—lt might have been be-
lieved, after the categorical refusal of the Turkish
Ministers, that the Christian Diplomatists would
have immediately asked their passports; but all the
Ambassadors have remained at their posts, content-
ing themselves with informing their respective
Courts of the want of success of these missions.
A private letter from St. PetersbUrgh states, that
the Emperor Nicholas is firmly determined to op-
pose with energy the total extermination of his
brethren in religion, in Greece. This letter bears a
date anterior to the period when the last despatches
from Constantinople could have been received in
that city ; nevertheless, the actual presence of Field
Marshal Count d'Ossen-Sacken, at St. Petersburgh‘
is mentioned there, as formerly, to have a direct re-
ference to the measures which are immediately about
to be taken, after it is definitively ascertained that
the attempts of diplomacy will be unavailing. Count
d'Ossen-Sackers, they say, is designed for the chief
command of the army of operation, and it is in order
to receive the commands of the Emperor on that
head that he has been called to St. Petersburgh,
where he will probably prolong his stay until the
arrival of despatches from M. de Ribeaupierre com-
municate the definitive issue of the negotiations with
which he is charged, and which are expected from
day to dap
