LONDON,
THURSDAY EVEA7NG, FEBRUARY 8, 1827.

We have received the Paris Papers of Monday,
and the Etoile dated Tuesday morning. They do
not contain intelligence of much impoitance. Ad-
vices from Lisbon had been received, by a Russian

'ourier, who left that city on the 23d ult. when it was
,n a state of tranquillity. The latest despatches from
Count DE VILLA Fr OR are said to be dated from
Chaves. It seems, from the contents of private letters
from Madrid, that the rebels, who had been driven
into Spain, had not been disarmed, but had been per-
mitted to re-enter Portugal, without interruption
from the Spanish Authorities. This is said to have
taken place under the eye of the Spanish Army of
Observation, notwithstanding the high indignation
which FERDINAND is stated to have expressed against
the conduct of General LONGA and the Governor of
Ciudad Rodrigo, in a Note addressed by his Minister
to Mr. LAMB. Indeed the Quotidienne calls the
Court Martial on these Officers " a vain demonstra-
tion," got up to avoid a rupture with Great Britain
and Portugal. Thus the Apostolical party themselves
do not hesitate to avow in their journal the duplicity
of the conduct of their most gracious Sovereign Lord.
It would appear that the Emperor Don PEDRO

intends his brother MIGUEL to have an establishment
suited to the station which he must one day fill as
husband of the future Queen of PORTUGAL; but

that he has thought it prudent to make choice in the
Brazils of the persons who are to compose his suite.
A line-of-battle ship, with 15 or 16 distinguished
individuals, who have been selected for this very envi-
able duty, have arrived at Brest, from Rio de Janeiro.
They are to proceed to Paris, but whether MIGUEL
joins them there, or they are 'to be sent on to him at
Vienna, does not appear.
A ridiculous report prevailed at Lisbon on the 23d,
that the Duke of WELLINGTON was about to visit
Portugal.

The French Funds remained steady on Monday at
the prices of Saturday. Extracts from these Papers
will be found in another column.

We received this 'morning Brussels Papers of the
7th inst., but they possess little interest. The King
of the NETHERLANDS has appointed a naval com-
mission to inquire into the causes of the loss and
damage of his ships lVassenaer and Waterloo, in the
late storms. The mortality at Groningen for the last
week was 42. JOSEPH 13UONAI'ARTE has sub-
scribed 1000 francs towards the monument erecting to
TALNIA, and the same sum to that of DAVID. An
English Journal is published at Brussels under the title
of " News from Home," which ..fill, no doubt, be very
acceptable to many lovelorn wanderers as well as self.:
exiled patriots. The Bavariau Government, duly
aware of the great improvement in the artillery, lately
made in England, France, and the Netherlands,
intends to dispatch an officer to make himself ac-
quainted with all the recent improvements in that
branch of the military service.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the Ist instant, has
also been received this morning. Under the head of
St. Petersburgh, it contains some reflections upon the
Persian War, and the probability that England will
endeavour to mediate a peace between Russia and
Persia. Should she not, YERMALOFF is to strike
a decisive blow when the season admits of military
operations being commenced

ST. PETERSEURPI4, JAN. 17.
Since the 18th Dec. we have had no farther official accounts
of the prosecution of the operations of our army in Georgia, on
the Persian frontiers. The last, as our readers may remember,
announced the passage of the Araxes, effected by General Pas-
kewitsch, and the favourable consequences that might be expected
from this bold undertaking. By what we can learn from per..
sons who were well informed, the enemy had retired further into
the interior of the frontier, which is intersected by impenetrable
defiles and ravines, and there entrenched themselves. The ad-
vanced season, and the badness of the ways over the mountains
made it impossible for our troops to follow them into their
defiles. It is probable, that nothing will be done before the mild
season sets in, that is about the end of March, when General Yer-
maloff, who is so well acquainted with the mode of making war
on the people of the East, will probably strike a decisive blow,
which may lead to the entire destruction of the enemy's force,
collected for the second time against us, unless the Shah should
be enabled meantime, by the intervention of England, to make a
tolerable peace with Russia. This would be the wisest step that
he could be advised to take in his present situation, which is dailybecoming more critical. So much is certain, that our Govern-
ment will make great exertion in the Spring to put a speedy end
to this war.

We sincerely hope that the health of the Foreign

of the country on the subject is so intense that any
farther delay would cause the keenest disappointment,
and would be the more lamented if occasioned by the
continued indisposition of the great and eloquent
champion of all that is liberal and enlightened in foreign
and domestic policy.

There are few events which have been accomplished
so quickly, and by means so apparently disproportioned
to the circumstances, as the suppression of the Revo-
lution in Portugal. Fomented as this revolution had
been by a powerful and influential party throughout
the kingdom, and allowed to spread, with little oppo-
sition, until it had almost reached the capital itself, it
threatened in a few days to overthrow the existing Go.
vernment, and to bury in its ruin the fabric of liberal
institutions, which had been apparently firmly so esta-
blished. In a moment the scene has been changed.
The advocates of arbitrary power are silenced, and
the rebel army, which, without much interruption,
had continued its march towards the seat of Govern.
ment, and gathered strength as it moved on, is obliged
to fly precipitately from the kingdom, and to seek, for
its reduced numbers, an asylum in an adjoining
country. What are the means which have wrought this
change of circumstances ? Have they been the unpopn-

larity of the Revolution itself, or the wisdom of the mea-
sures taken in Portugal for its suppression ? A decided
negative may be given to the first of these questions ;
for it has been too evident that no ardent attachment
to the new Constitution had been manifested by the
people of Portugal generally, and that throughout the
provinces in particular, a feeling in favour of the
Royalist cause (as it was styled) had been shown
to exist. To the second enquiry we may give the
Same reply. The Executive Government acted without

energy, and its measures, were neither calculated to

ii

produce, nor did they lead to, any successful resist-
ance of the Revolution and the Rebel Army until—a
small army of British soldiers landed on Portuguese
ground: The spell was instantly broken, and the
magic influence of England triumphed in a moment.
No sooner had intelligence of the arrival of the British
forces reached the troops of the contending parties, than
confidence of success flushed the hitherto retreating
army of the Constitutionalists, and dismay and dis-
comfiture overtook the, till then, victorious Rebels.—
The mere report of a few English soldiers being on
the advance, accomplished that which Count de VILLA
FLOR, with all his means, would never have been able
to do ; and the Army, and the cause of the Revolu-
tion, sunk at once together.
Great Britain, faithful to treaties, and supporting
the cause of rational liberty, thus put an end by the
Talisman of her name, to the troubles which agitated
the kingdom of her Ally ; and its magic influence
seems scarcely to have been less predominant in Spain
itself, when it was known that the British Army,
however small in number, had actually again landed
in the Peninsula. The Councils of FERDINAND,
for a time, hesitated, and even secretly connived at that
which had previously been openly sanctioned ; but
soon the furious zeal and the wicked designs of his
Government, were overcome by the dread of the
vengeance of Great Britain. But after the experience
which we have had of the duplicity of FERDINAND,
will our Government be satisfied. with the reluctant
expressions of altered purpose which have been wrung
from this ill-advised MONARCH? Will they not require
for our Ally reparation for the past and security for the
future ? We answer that they will. Portugal and
Great Britain as her ally, cannot be subject to the re-
currence of conduct on the part of Spain which may
revive rebellion in Portugal and endanger her institu-
tions. Such pledges must be made, and such security
given for their performance as will put beyond all
doubt the possibility of a future interference on the
part of Spain with the affairs of her neighbour. The
successful termination of the campaign in Portugal
will enable her Government and that of Great Britain
to demand and insist upon the most unqualified con-
ditions for her future security.

The last number of Blacktvood's Magazine con-
tains a very excellent article upon the present and past
State of Persia—a portion of which, more immediately
relating to England, was given in our Paper of yes-
terday, but we recommend the perusal of the whole
to those who wish for information upon a subject of
such present interest and prospective importance. It
will be seen that from the time of PETER, surnamed
'the GREAT, Russia has aimed, at extended
empire on the frontiers of Persia, and that the
uniform policy of her Government has been first to
encroach—then to quarrel—and finally to appropriate.
Even the ocean has not been exempt from the covet-
ous grasp of her gloomy dominion, for it was only
the other day that she laid claim to the exclusive
navigation of one half the seas boundine. her Asiatic
coasts. But the wish, however, accordant with her
presumptuous policy, was too gigantic to be realised
---and the remonstrance of one State, added to the
indignant threats of another, soon made her re-
linquish her ambitious speculation. Yet Russia,
though checked in one quarter, turns like the free-
booter to take a double portion in another, and her
rapacity is only bounded by the appropriation of all,where
she meditated but the acquisition of a part. The decease
of one ambitious Sovereign makes no change in her
do •
mineering policy, which, like the daring instinct of
Young eagles, is transmitted from generation to genera-
tion, till each succeeding Autocrat, from the proud
elevation of his power, becomes still more aspiring than
his predecessor. Thus it has been with Russia—and
how truly she pursues the same line of policy, let the
present insidious aggression upon Persia testify. And
yet the Emperor NICHOLAS has published a manifesto
to the world, accusing Persia of making the first
hostile invasion ! Now this is just as reasonable
as if the lamb should •
invade the precincts of the wolf
with any chance of subduing the rapacious propensi-
ties of its dangerous neighbour. But the thing is too
absurd for observation.
The manifestoes of nations
are only to be credited
when they accord -with the
avowed policy and natural interests of those States,—
and it is clear that, whatever
Russia may say to the con-
trary, she has an eagle eye upon her Persian neighbour,
whose political existence depends not on the forbear-
ance of the Czar, but upon the consequences resulting
from an enterprise which might involve him in war
with a nation more able to chastise his presumption.
Russia first transgressed the bounds of Persia, and
fomenting quarrels of ambition
kept her in civil war by
amoeg her Princes, naturally jealous of each other.
She then improved upon this plan by taking advantage
of whatever circumstances appeared favourable to her
constant purpose of aggrandisement—first seizing upon

the territory in trust, and then retaining it, because in
possession. The present quarrel with Persia, illustrates
this principle most unequivocally, and Russia knows
it, but endeavours to hoodwink other governments
by protestations as untrue as her policy is insidi-
ous. If she can- but appropriate Persia, how easy
the passage to India, and little invitation is neces-
sary where the heart is already set. Let Russia but con-
solidate her conquests abroad, and she will look nearer
home ; but, indeed, we have seen, and almost felt, the
exercise of. her Gothic influence upon the freedom of
the Press—witness Switzerland, Germany, and even en-
lightened France, which is now warring with the Jesuits,
after her emancipation from the freezing genius of the
North. England has but one course to pursue—can-
dour in telling her opinion of the real state of the
question, and promptitude in acting up to the very spirit
of her intentions. Russia has seen what this country
can accomplish when her vengeance is roused—and it
were not amiss to remind the Emperor NICHOLAS,
that our power, though slumbering, is not impaired ;
nor our sense of national honour, though enduring, the
less sensitive to injustice whether committed at home or
abroad.

Our City Correspondent informs us that private letters from
Paris state that the British claims on Spain have been adjusted.
FERDINAND, it is said, has signed an agreement, granting three
millions of perpetual Rentes at 90, bearing an interest of 5 per
cent. These Rentes are to be negotiated in London.
Accounts from the frontiers of Spain state that a French Corps
is immediately to occupy the North of Spain, on the left of the
Ebro, by the desire of FERDINAND, in consequence of the revo-
lutionary spirit lately manifested among the troops, particularly in
the Cordon on the frontiers of Portugal. It is said Madrid re-
mains quiet, but that accounts were daily received from the
Provinces of a very unfavourable description, and it was even
feared that Badajos would become another Isle de Leon as a refuge
to insurrectionists.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

Consols closed yesterday at 81 for account, and opened this
morning at 80-1 1 ; they have since gradually risen to 814 with
a still market; the premium upon India Bonds and Exchequer
Bills maintains its ground, the former being at 52 4, and the latter at
30 1 pm. Money is plentiful in the city, but there are numerous
persons waiting the meeting of Parliament this day, calculating
that some information on the subject of our political relations may
be given by Ministers; which may serve as a guide for future
operations. The Foreign Funds remain inactise, with but little
business ; Colombian Bonds are 364 74 ; and Mexican 6 per
Cent., 66 4 ; Peruvian, 32 4 ; Greek, 154 164 ; Russian are a
shade lower, being 88 4; and Spanish, 124 Shares are
scarcely noticed; the Tlalpuxahua Mining speculations are quoted
lower, notwithstanding the favourable reports circulated at their
last meeting ; they are now 40 50 pm. A meeting of the pro-
prietors of the Brazil Mines will take place to-day ;itisto be re-
gretted that some difference exists among the members, and as the
success of any speculation is certain to be injured by its continu-
ance, it is to be hoped the parties will recollect that unanimity
will be their best policy.

Consols have been very steady for the two last hours at Silt
with scarcely any business. A renewal of the rumour of the
Bank discounting at 4 per Cent. has been current in the City all
the day.
No alteration in the premium of India Bonds or Exchequer
Bills.

Colombian Bonds are rather higher, and are 37.1 41; Mexican
are a shade better, 66i4 ; Russian have advanced, nearly I per
