Assuming that the supply from Ireland in 1829 will
prove equal to that in 1828, it will give an aggregate
supply of Foreign Grain into Great Britain, in 1829, of
about 5,500,000 quarters.

Suppose the necessity for such an external supply to
occur during a war, in which Great Britain and France
were to reverse the maritime ascendancy which prevailed
prior to 1816, under which the supplies from Ireland
would be as liable to be intercepted as the supplied from
any other part of the world ; and what would then bo
the condition of society in,England? This is a position.
it is true, according to all priority of reasoning, in which
Great Britain is not likely to be soon placed ; it is, how-
ever, not less true, one in which she is from year's end
to year's end, liable to be placed, and a possibility, if not
a probability, which a discreet and paternal Government
would not lose sight of, and seek to make a timely pro-
vision for. How noble and praiseworthy it would be to
see the Government of a country like Great Britain,
comparatively speaking, limited in surface, densely po-
pulated, insular, and exposed to great casualty and

vicissitudes of season, making a provision of ten, twenty,
or thirty millions quarters of grain, as a security against
those contingencies to which her insular position so pecu-
liarly renders her liable. Contrast such a rule of policy
with the sacrifices the country has made since the peace
in 1815, in the progressive diminution of reward for
labour, the consequent diminution of consumption
amidst an increasing power of production, and the ne-
cessary embarrassment of the productive, trading, and
commercial part of the community.

At present they are 114 to;, with a steady market, u the Balls

operations of the Bulls.
In the Foreign Market Greek Bonds have improved. Brasil
Stock is not so good. In other securities little doing.
We have fete arrivals of ship letters this morning, and ibises are
of old dates. The letters were delivered at a late boor, and the
foreign letters by the French and Flanders malls ate not yet come
to hand, consequently we have no intelligence to communicate at
protest.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

Up to the present hour we have neither political information or
reports, and the Consol Market continues GSM; in the early put
of the day they were done at 13, afterwards reached 95i I, for
the Account ; at present they are 94 to i. A good deal of busi-
ness was dose In the course of the morn* : motley is plentiful.
This is Settling Dsy in the Foreign Mullet, which is going WI
weir.; Greek Bonds is the chief speculation, which have

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

LISBON, lax. 16.

In my last I mentioned the arrival of Asszca's Secre-
tary; the effect it had produced here, and the many ex-'
unordinary rumours to which it gave rise. Among them,
the one which has acquired most consistency, would make
Ili believe that he was the bearer of the Noble Duke's
final determination with regard to Portugal, and that the
Packet which takes this to England, will also convey the
project of an amnesty for the approval of his Grace!
As you may well suppose, I should not have named this
report, had I not heard it from those who are in the se-
crets of the Court. My informant adds, that a frigate is
to be despatched to the Brazils, as two of the Cabinets
wish to preserve the tyrant, if he can himself gain over
Dox PEDRO. Notwithstanding these sinister as-
sertions of the faction, the people here do not
believe that England will commit an act which
would degrade her in the eyes of the whole civi-
lized world. As to an amnesty proffered by Mto um.,
it is needless to repeat what I have so often said. But I
cannot help warning the Patriots to reject every overture.
Indeed this must be superfluous, knowing, as they
do, the fate which awaits them, unless they come
with swords in their hands. Verbum sat! And with
regard to the Sovereigns, I should like to know what
faith they can place in the promises of such a monster ?
Do they remember the perjuries, treasons, and parricidal
acts of 1825? Have they forgotten the Protocol of Vienna?
Whatever their Cabinets may do, for the Sovereigns have
nothing to say in these matters, it is hoped neither the
exiles in England nor the patriot army of Terceira, will
ever compromise their fair fame by entering into any
terms with the despot. But this is a useless hope, as
every letter we receive contains fresh assurances of their
firm resolution to sustain the character they have already

acquired.
By referring to the Gazette, you will perceive that the
mourning for the Qv EE' is imposed for Six Months!
The effect of such a piece of folly on trade and manu-
factures, may be readily imagined. This has been the week
of nojo, (condolence) and Mt o v Lt. not being able to resort
as usual, (having drunk to excess on the day of the fu-
neral) to his favourite amusement of duck-shooting at the
pond, he passed his time in killing pigs and making
sausages ! !
The 4th regiment has just arrived here. The spirit
of the soldiers is excellent, and they are therefore called
ntalhados. As to Officers, they are rank Miguelites.—
It is said the pay of the soldiers has been reduced from
60 to 40 reis per day.
The notorious Chaves and other influential individuals
of the old Queen's party, have taken out their pass-
ports, probably with a view of going to Madrid.
—lt is confidently reported that the Princess MARIA
TERESA is coming from Spain, to replace the late QuEEN
at the head of the Apostolicals.
I some time ago informed you of the seizures by
MIGUEL of the jewels left to the Princesses, his
sisters, by their aunt. He has repeated the act on the
present occasion, having got possession of those be-
queathed by his mother to ISABELLA MARIA, who at-
tended her throughout her illness to the last moment.
In comparing the character of the late Quzzx
DOWAGER and her Son, it is said that she could at
least boast the merit of consistency and resolution ;
whereas her son is only remarkable for cowardice, de-
bauchery, and vengeance.
