Idsßort, JULY 25.--This week the Princess
Regent and her advisers have contrived to throw a
little more interest into the political drama, than
could have Been expected from the dull tenour of
its previous incidents. I described to you a fortnight
ago the manner in which her Royal Highness had
sometimes, of late, disposed of her favours, and the
objections of the new Cabinet to some of her re-
cent appointments. It was rather to be wished
than hoped for, that a young Princess, surrounded
with needy and greedy attendants, and administer-
ing a government which, only a little twelve
months ago, was the chosen asylum of intrigue
and favouritism, should all at once change the
Court habits of centuries, and, adopting cordially
the principles of the Charter, resist all claims
not sanctioned by justice or her responsible
ministers. It required greater firmness of pur-
pose, and a more steady adherence to the " stern
path" of political duty, than are usually found with
persons of her age, sex, and limited education, to
repel private importunit►es, and to disregard private
attachments, in the management of public affairs. Ac-
cordingly, there have of late appeared striking proofs
that she is deficient in the resolution to say " no" to

her unworthy attendants, or in the penetration to see
through their interested abuse of her favour. A small
coterie or camarilla (as the Liberals do not hesitate
now to call it) surrounds her, and inspires her with
their capricious tastes respecting individuals, or their
selfish views respecting her distribution of patronage.
So great is their ascendancy, and so aspiring their
presumption, that they boast they can turn out a
Minister or a Cabinet when they please. If any
place, pension, promotion, sinecure, honour, or corn-
mandery, is to be solicited, the candidates address
themseves to one of the male or female members of
_ _ _

this coterie. By them the Infanta is beset till she
yields her provisional consent. She then commands
the Minister in whose department the appointment
is, to make out the decree. If he readily obeys,
and affixes his signature, he is safe ; if, on the other
hand, in the exercise of his public duty, he resists,
it becomes universally known that the refusal pro-
ceeds from him, and then "out with him" is the
word. He then feels a lever acting against him,
supported on the power of the Sovereign, and puls
led with all the violence of private hostility ; and if
he is not at once lifted from his place, is soon obli-
ged to yield or retire. As it has hitherto happened
that each Minister acted in his own department in-
dependently of his colleagues, and that their mea-
sures wanted the sanction of a general council, these
partial victories over individuals become the more
easy and certain. The obnoxious statesman, struck
by the anathema of the secret conclave, could ex-
pect no support from his rivals in the Cabinet, and
could make no appeal to public opinion. He was
therefore obliged to resign himself to the loss of his
portfolio, or the abandonment of his official dignity.
Had it been possible to place in the Cabinet of her
Royal Highness six men of respectable capacity and
resolute purpose, disposed to act on united councils,
determined to support each other and the Charter,
and free from official jealousies or private biasses,
there can be little doubt that the new institutions
would by this time have passed their crisis.
The Portuguese people (it cannot too often be
repeated) are easily governed : and if the praise-
worthy attempt to establish a constitution among
them should now unfortunately prove abortive, the
failure must be ascribed rather to a want of energy
or honesty in those entrusted with the Government,
than to the force of any antagonist interests, or the
activity of any disaffected parties.
The last few days have furnished striking illustra-
tions of the truth of these hasty remarks, both as re-
gards tie Court, the Ministry, andpeople. We can
scarcely be said to have had a Government at Lis-
bon during the week, and yet things go on as if we
had. The Charter seems without power in the
State, and yet none of the fanatics propose to
abolish it. The Princess Regent Und her secret
advisers appear to be playing at Cabinet-making, as
children with the toys of a nursery, or doing all
they can to make the administration of the king-
dom ridiculous ; and yet, if liberty is the sacrifice,
we shall be told that free institutions could not be
established, because the people were unfit for
them. About six weeks ago Don J. C. Saldanha,
the Minister of War, in danger himself of being
turned out by his colleagues, sprung a mine, which
scattered his enemies, and left him in possession
of undisputed power. He even engrossed provi-
sionally two seats in the Cabinet, and was considered
at least firmly fixed in the War-Office. As Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, he could not do much, and
perhaps the less he did the better. He only wrote
one circular to the Courts of Europe, to save them
from the pretended alarms of Jacobinism, and to as-
sure them that the new Government would make
no change in the old system of peace and friendship
which so happily prevailed between Portugal and
her allies. Even this circular was written at the
suggestion of the Ambassador of an allied Power.—
The rest was left to be done on the arrival of the
Marquis of Palmella, whose post he only provision-
ally held. In his own department, Saldanha was
more than usually active, as he was relieved from
the restraints which his former colleagues had
im-
posed upon his proceedings. In addition to his
exertions in the War-office, he wished to seize the
favourable moment of his influence, to remove from
their situations some of the authorities considered as
hostile to the Charter, and to supply their place
with others disposed to support it. The In-
tendant of Police, Bastos, was among the for-
mer ; and as the disembargador spirit is not
very constitutional, he had nominated to the of-
fice of Regidor da Justice, Pedro de Mello Brey-
ner, a strong constitutionalist, who might have
brought about some reform in the superior tribu-
nals. Saldanda pressed these measures ; but the
caprice of the Infant or the Camarilla had changed.
Her Royal Highness had begun to talk slightingly
of him to her friends—to say that he was a good

DON MIGUEL.
The arrival of the Marquis of Palmella from Lon-
don, is now looked for with more anxiety than ever,
in consequence of recent events. I formerly alluded
to the very proper letter which his Excellency ad-
dressed to the Princess Regent, in answer to the
message announcing his appointment. Ir. that letter
he fully exposed, theugh in respectful terms, the
vices which I have often described to you as inhe-
rent in her present system of government, where
every Minister acts for himself, without consulting
his colleagues ; and where her sanction is required
by each to measures which have not previously been
submitted to the Cabinet Council. The .Marquis
reminds her Royal Highness, that no constitutional
government can be conducted on such a system, and
that even many absolute governments hare seen
the necessity of abandoning it. In order to have
an administration possessed of any moral force,
its members must act together—each must be re-
sponsible for all, and all for each,—measures must
be discussed before they are adopted, and receive
the sanction of the Council, before they are proposed
for the signature of the Prince. If her Royal High-
ness is disposed to conduct her Government on such
principles, his Excellency expresses his willingness
to take part in it; if she is still inclined to continue
the former practice, he begs respectfully to decline
an appointment where he could render her no ser-
vice. This letter was not sent through Saldanha
(the interim Minister for Foreign Affairs), but
transmitted directly to her Royal Highness, through
another channel. At the same time the Marquis
wrote Saldanha to apprize him that he had sent his
answer to the Princess. Her Royal Highness
neither showed Saldanha the letter which she had
received from London, nor informed him of the
nature of the answer which she intended to return.
That answer contained an acquiescence in the main
points of Palmella's demand ; and therefore no doubt
is entertained here of his speedy arrival.
That arrival will be an event of no small im-
portance on more accounts than one. In the first
place, it will announce, at least, the trial of a change
of system. In the second place, it is extremely
likely that the whole of the personal of the Cabinet
will be again changed, the anticipation of which
ought to have prevented the Regent's advisers from
dismissing Saldanha before the time for such a final
arrangement. And, in the third place, the noble
Marquis will come with the resolution of the Eng-
lish Cabinet and of the Allied Powers respecting
the arrival of Don Miguel, and his claims to the
Regency when he comes of age in October next.
Probably you are better acquainted with the facts
which have a reference to the latter point in London
than we are here ; but if you are not, the following
statement may be interesting, and may be relied on.
The English Government is now in full possession of
the views of Austria respecting the Infant. The
Emperor says, through his Minister Metternich,
that as he was entrusted with the guardianship
of the Prince by his father, and as the two
families are so closely allied, he thought it his duty
to take charge of him till he came of age. In doing
so, it was an additional satisfaction to him to see
that he was accomplishing an object of considerable
political importance for the peace of Europe, as the
Infant's presence in Portugal might have caused or
prolonged a civil war. At the Prince's birth day
the Emperor's delegated power over him ceases,
and he declines being the Prince's gaoler for an
object that does not immediately concern the welfare
of his dominions. He therefore presses upon the
Allies to make some terms, or to come to some ar-
rangement with the Infant, for the interests of Por-
tugal, before October; and announces, that if no
such arrangement can be formed, the Prince must
be set at liberty, as far as regards Austria, to pursue
his own course. As he has declined to go to
Brazil, the first use that he will make of his freedom
will be to proceed home.
Thus, now we have only a choice of evils. This
unfortunate country is doomed to see the Infant in
a few months, with or without stipulations, in favour
of its rights. If Austria releases him without any con-
cert with England, he will of course proceed over the
continent, and enter Portugal through Spain. In
his way he would pass by Madrid, and be charged
anew with the fanaticism and furious passions of
his sister, the Princess of Beira, and the other
members of that Court. On' arriving at the
frontiers, he would be met by the army, and the
representatives of the privileged classes, who would
hail him with the title of absolute King. The
work of vengeance would then begin, and the
re-action would be dreadful, encouraged and headed
by such a despot. If, on the other hand, Eng-
land, representing the rights of her ally, enters into
terms with the Infant about preserving the Charter,
and maintaining the line of succession, there is still
no security for either (for what is the personal
guarantee of such a man ?); but an immediate and
sanguinary re-action may be prevented, and the con-
stitution may be destroyed more constitutionally.—
In taking Miguel's word, and endeavoi:ring to re-
concile him to existing order, the English Cabinet
will thus, probably, adopt the best of the ,unfortu-
nate alternatives which are left it. A decent regard
for the faith of promises will prevent their immediate
and barefaced violation. The Chambers must thus
at least be convoked, though for the last time. If
the tide sets strongly in against the Charter, indivi-
duals will have time to escape. If on the
other hand, the Chambers show a firmness
to make themselves respected, or happen in
the midst of royal caprice, to do acts agree-
able to the Prince, they may be preserved till it
be found as easy to rule with them as without them.
In the mean time the Prince might become disgusted
with the exaggerated pretensiogs of such idiots as
Chaves, and might learn that a constitution which
threw the odium of severe measures, or of resisting
annoying importunities, on legislative bodies and re-
sponsible advisers, was a security to the repose and
best rights of the Sovereign.
This is the best aspect of the fate which awaits
Portugal; for as Miguel has refused to go to Rio,
he could not be prevented from coming to Portugal,
though he chose to drive to Downing-street one fine
morning, and ask Mr. Canning for permission to take
his passage for Lisbon in the next Falmouth packet.

EDIBLE RocKs.—Near the Ural Mountains
in Siberia, a substance called "rock-meal "
powdered gypsum—is found, which the natives
mix with their bread and eat. The Tartar:-
likewise eat the lithomarge, or rock-marrow ; and
use rock butter as a remedy for amorous disor-
ders.—London Weekly Review.

Thomas Shaw was indicted for stealing a mare,
the property of Henry Handford, in the parish of
Cope, in this county.—Gisiity.
The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to
mercy, on the ground that the prisoner had never
done him any harm before. '
Mr. Justice HOLROYD told hiss; if his life were
spared, that was the utmost• extent of clemency
Which he could hope for, as he should certeinly be
sent out of the country for life.—Judgment of death
was then recorded against him.
The Grand Jury presented the County Hall as
being out of repair, and unsuited for public business.
This presentment was not returned before it was
loudly called for, both by the ruinous state of the
building, and the very indifferent accommodation
which the Courts, as at present constructed, afford
for the administration of justice.
William Crossland, James Bengin, and George
Lee, were indicted for picking the pocket of a per-
son named Fletcher, of a pocket-book, and two 11.
country notes. Bengin pleaded guilty ; and the
others were convicted. They were sentenced to
transportation for life.
The prisoner Crossland was then charged with
maliciously cutting Elisha Walton, with intent to
disable him, or do him grievous bodily harm. It ap-
peared that when the prosecutor seized the prisoner,
on being charged with the above robbery, the latter
cut his hand with a knife which he drew from his
pocket, to make him let go his hold.—The Jury
found him Guilty.
Lord TENTERDEN disposed of the cause-paper at
an early hour to-day. There was nothing of general
interest in any of the eases, which were mostly eject-
ments. His Lordship afterwards proceeded to assist
Mr. Justice Holroyd in trying the prisoners.
