ected from the sta.a* -cisociety in that country,
and ttla great hardships the people have endured.
Hitherto nothing further bas reached us from
Lisbon, except a copy of the Proclamation or
Address to the Peoi.le, posted up in the capital
on the 9.3 th ultinth, of which a translation is found

annexed.
The late events in the South of Europe seem
to have deprived some of our cbntemporaties of
their senses altogether. One of there bdstows
the most unqualified praise on the principles of
Prince Metternkh's circular, Which calls on
Princek to " maititin that which exists,'' and
" to ptTevent deviation in any manner- from the
existing erd,er'of things, from whatever origin it
n'av among." And Oita the,nex.t moment
tens.us, -We have. never contended that Spain,
or Naples, or Portu4al, did not present occasion
.for great and salutary change." But we would
have the writer to recollect that he cannot serve
both Goa and Mammon, that he must renounce
ahanae altogether, or renounce Prince Metter-
nich. " But," says ti^ same writer, " the mode
in which th,s recent changes haVe been wrought
is Most alarming." Admitting for a moment thiS
to be the case,
,why did not the Governments
make these necessary changes themselves, when
they would,have hat the choosing of the mode ?
Timely ReforMS prevent Revolutions: But,per-
sons like• Prince Metternich drive men into Re-
volutions; by setting their faces against. any
change vinttever, however necessary. When the
people see that they have no hopes of a remedy
for their evils, but from force, they will at last. be
compelled to have recourse to it. It is Prince
Metternich, and those who set themselves against
all Reform, who are the true. Revolutionists.—

AFFAIRS OF tiORTT:GrAL.-It does not appear
that the new Government is yet established at
Lisbon. No c mmunication even,
_ it is stated•,
existed betweel the capital and Oporto.—Mar-
shal Ilimpluni had marched with some troops
upon Oporto, by command of the Regency; but
his troops deserted, and many of them joined the
insurgents: The Utmost attention continues to
be shown to British Officers, who still hold their
rank, pay, and honours, though removed from
command, and replaced by Portuguese Officers.
A communication has also been made to the Bri-
tish Consul at Oporto by the Provisional Go
.vernment, pledging
.the utmost security to Bri-
tish subj'ects and. their property. At the Theatre
also, upon the p:n•forrnance of a piece gra up for
the occasion, expressions of gratitude to the
English echoe I from the audience. In some
towns where the. Constitution has been pro-
.claimed, the Clergy _hold back,' but without the
leaSt opposition. Their pretence is, the non-
reception of orders from' the Archbishop. Not
.the least disorder has any where taken place.
It somewhat singular that •no communication
has ,taken place between the Regency and Insur-
gent Authorities.

QutEx.—The House of Commons has
denounced the proceeding against the Queen as
" derogatory from the dignity of the Crown, and
injurious to the best interests of the Ernpire."—

Experience. has 'confirmed the truth and justice of
their censure. The country is degraded in its
own estimation, and be the result of the present
investigation what it may, it must be attended
with internal danger and. difficulties. If Mr.
Hunt and I;.is followers excited the slightest alarm
in the breasts of Ministers, they cannot contem-,
plate the present state of public opinion without
dismay. • HoWever deplorable the, effect, it would
IN fortunate for the. country were it confined to
our own shores. This, however, is `not the case :
the country is fallen in the estimation of foreign
nations. To her moral character England
owed her elevation, more perhaps than to the
energy of her arms. In France, we are as-
sured,, the proceeding against the Queen has
made . a great sensation. Int.liat country, the
Englieh have been always considered a grave, se-
date, prudent, and .reflecting people,; but the
French can trace no prudence nor discretion in a
measure so 'eminently. calculated to , degrade
-Royalty, at. the very mornent when the revolu-
tionary spirit is in full activity abroad, and the
change•of Governments proceeds with unexam-
pled velocity. At such a moment the throne
cannot divest itself of the veneration of the sub-
ject with impunity, nor can its lustre be tarnished
without ?impairing its strength. Yet this is the
moment ci:osen by Ministers to blazon the frail-
ties of the 'Court, and degrade the Crown of Eng-
lo:nd in'the eyes of 'Foreign Nations.

While the ".I.eading,rournal"desca-hts at great
length on the " ARMY 'OF ANDAL'OSTA,"' it care-

We therefore feel it our duty to call public at-
tention more particularly to-the' latter subject.
It is now, alas ! too clearly proved that 'Creason

we were vilified and scoa-ed at for venturing to
