EXCLUSION FROM THE TOWER.

Great discontent has, within s short time, been created
amongst. the inhabitants of the east end of the metropolis by the
exclosion of he public front three of their accustomed and most
favourite promenades During the memory of the aides: inbabi:-
ant it has been customary for them to walk freely during she day •
time on the Isms walk in front of the Tower. and in a terrace
within she walls. They were accustomed to the like freedom of
ingress and egress with respect to the principal square ; and when
the band of the garrison played the place was numerously attended.
in the same manner that St. James's-park is now attended by the
poblic on days of pat ade. The public are now, however, excluded
from the promenade on the wharf in front, or the terrace within ,
and during the performance of the-band they are kept at such a
distance as to be unable to bear it. No official reasons are given
for them exclusions ; but the statement which has gone abroad is.
that no persona are to be permitted to walk on the wharf iti come-
quince of some perms having occasionally stolen bits of lead front
the touch-boles of the cannon which are placed there, and which
are under the care of sentinels, who in general suffer no on, to ap-
proach them. The public are kept at a distance front the bald
because some drunken sailors have interfered with it ; and they are
not permitted to go on the terrace bemuse .it is contended lty the
goes Jr eyes that the public have no right to be there, and that it
ought to be clear for those belonging to the place.
TAtt inhabitants of the vicinity were accustomed to prounenaJe
in front of the new Custom-house. The open space wait a walk
for themselves and their families to watch the arrival and de-
parterre of the steam-vessels and other objects. The miblie are
now shut out from this promenade, and no one is allowed to enter
it with Out an outer from the house. The ground for this eachesioo
is reported to be, that some females who frequented it cunusaitted

That the Duke Of WELLINGTON. is at this moment
much embarrassed by the ineffective: working of his
cabinet machinery, is now past a question. Even the
Times admits it, though, he dots it in his own shuffling
and reluctant manner. He says that he Will enter a
little, now, upon the rationale of the subject, having
before decided on the fact. We really did not know;
until we read this paragraph, that the Times was
e secretis of the Noble Duke ; but we suppose he
must be taken henceforth, upon this admission, to
be the principal Ministerial Journal. Whether he de-
sires to be so reputed, or not, his' claim to the dis-
tinction will be allowed on all hands to be paramount.
" There is no question"—says this organ of the military
Premier—" but that the Duke may invite a good
and fitting man to stop a gap, if such should occur
in his Ministry." Nobody said that there was a
question : it was only stated—and we state it now dis-
tinctly ourselves--that the Duke was casting his eyes
around him for this very kind of individual ; exercising
that very right, which nobody ever dreamed of
questioning, and which our contemporary, with an
unusually felicitous phraseology, terms an invitation
to stop a gap! Whether the " good and fitting
man" will turn up, to the Duke's liking, is more
than we can answer for : but that a negotiation
is far advanced, for the production of the Duke of
CUMBERLAND at the Horse-guards, and in the Ca-
binet, is certain. Also, that such arrangements would
go to pieces in a fortnight before the popular indig-
nation, is equally certain. All this, however, has nothing
to do with the embarrassments of the Noble Premier,

which we consider to be so complicated and so serious,
as to threaten the almost immediate dissolution of his
Grace's ministry.

We have already noticed an article in " BLACK wool),"
professing to be a review of the last Session of Parlia-
ment; but, in effect, nothing more than a Brunswick
tirade against Mr. PEEL, for having deserted the Orange
banner under which he was wont to go forth to battle.—
The Magazine itself is more Orange, if possible, and
more intolerant than ever, and vomits forth, at the con-
clusion of its essay, due laudations to the Gn sr D MASTER
of its mysteries. Considered in strict reference to its title,
the article is one strain of unrelieved raving from the
beginning to the end : it describes the country as only
saved from moral annihilation, by the political heroics of
the Nottingham banker, who is to make a great example
of the House next year. The essay is continued, after
the intervention of some miscellaneous matter, under the
head of " Dissolution of Parliament ;" and here again
Mr. SADLER is made to figure as the coryphaeus of our
Reviewer's patriots.
"The Duke of NEWCASTLE," says the writer, " has
used his Parliamentary interest, not to aggrandise him-
self, but to serve his country :" that is, in returning for
his rotten borough the aforesaid Nottingham banker !
Not to swell the ranks of apostacy, but to sustain the
sinking cause of PRINCIPLE and INDEPENDENCE :
that is, in returning for his rotten borough the aforesaid
Nottingham banker! Not to multiply the MERCENARIre
of a Ministry, or a FACTION, but to confer their reward
on genius and talent, and call them forth in support of
the holy cause of religion wad rAntrortsx :—that is,
'in returning for his rotten borough the aforesaid Not.
tingham banker ! , The sly fellow in the Magazine pre-
• tends also to fall into the mistake, which has been af-
fected ever since the prorogation of Parliament by the
Standard and Morning Journal: we mega, that of con-
. founding—as associated for the same objects—the Marquis
of BLANDFORD With the NEWCASTLCS and the FAL-
-14 OCTIIS, et hoc genus omne. But it is a detected trick,
and will no longer avail his 'purpose. The writer in
BLACKM OOD knows very well that Lord BLANDFORD
has no political sympathies with his patrons, and that the
noble Marquis has not hesitated to disavow ill connexion
with them. No : the pure principle which animates that
noble Lord in the advocacies which he is about to
undertake, is profaned by the bare suggestion of such a
fellowship. He will, indeed, " not bury his talent in the
earth ;" but it will bl under different auspices, and in
different company from that allotted to him by this
Magazine writer, that the noble patriot will " soar to
eminence."

" We boderstand, that a Court of Inquiry is about to be held In
Sydney on one of out' Deputy Assistant Commissary Gamete.
The circumstances which have led to this are curious. Matt live ,
years ago, a young emigrant war appointed by Mt. Wears as an
Assistant Storekeeper in the Commissariat Department. of New
South Wales; and among other places of abode of the young math.,
was that famous abode for officers with " clean hands," wisely;

himself obliged to . Oa his resignation. be was careful to
procure certificates of good conduct from Mr. Welwyn and other
officers under whom be bad served. He then forwarded a letter
of complaint. against the Deputy Aaiun° Commissary General in
question, direct to Governor Darling ; this letter was dated In
August, 1527. He received a reply from the Governor's Military
Secretary. Lieutenant Condom's', stating, the General declined
entering his charges, being sodded with the accused's ooh ample-
natio° to his Nocollooey in private. Another letter from the Se-
cretary two days after, scemed the young man of that darling sin
" highly improper sod insubordloste conduct." and steam he was
" never mere to be employed by the Government!" Thu we
officer was allowed to esplain, and weather was refused that pri-
vilege! Penni*g he mull me obbist what he considered to bt
common justice from his Excellency _Gamest Darling, the young
man sent his. charges home to the Lords of the Treasury. Thin
was in September or October, 1527. • •
" A whole year and three moths elapsed, When in Dec. 15211,
Brigade Major Forbes wrote to out young evotticer, sayingobes
the Governor bad had a consnomication from the Lords a the
Treasury (who it appears darned in opinion.with his Exceihscy
u to the young man's charges), and that be was lounedistdy to
transmit his charges to him, the Brigade Major
" The young man was at this date turned eviler. In a remote part
of the Colony, and the General's new mall post not working
well, not even foe its planner, he did nowt get the Brigak Mares
letter at all. But beat length received a triplicate wills about a
meth. He replied, that be was very tiny at his farm, but would
hasten to Sydney as soon as his stairs would let him, and hoped
to be therein two or three weeks. This Settler's sort of &vetch
did not Alt the General, who wrote to him in January (this year)
to say, he ought net to sawlike the public service for hit own pri-
vate Interests; but at the same time, the General sent him no
money or remuneration of any kind to pay his expenses to Sydney,
nor for the ion arising from kis absence front his farm ; the being
plundered by bushrangers being nose of the least casualties his re-
mote concerns were liable to. The young man, however, very
goodwatwedly sent his charges to the General.
These 'barges are now about being entered into. The young
num being now out of the service, cares not whether be succeeds
or not ; he has got cettikates from his late oSurs of his own un-
impeachable integrity ; and the *Apes and injuries of the accused
are gone by. Still we trust, that for the sake of public justice
and the good of his Majesty's service, and the honour of the Con"!
soksariat Department, this young man will be treated with our
test' and the utmost whom by the Court; and not snapped up
for informalities. In short. the Governor, in our humble opinion.
ought to order the Attorney-General to assist him. His Excel-
lency orders the latter to prosecute Editors, and Editors toe, who
have rendered the King good service of late, by bringing to light
abases and irregularities similar to those which the Lords of the
Treasury, in cootradictima to General Darliog's decision. have
ordered to be gone into ; surely therefore this Crosio Meer
would be well employed in forwarding the views mad ceensands
of the Lords of the Treasury."

this step merely to wic time. As to any interference in the affairs
of Greece, the Porte will not listen to it, and will be satisfied with
acting the part of a spectator, that is. to trust to its fortune, and
take no step for or against ; and knowing the system adoptedi by
Spada which never gives up its pretension to its South American

THE PORTUGUESE QUESTION.

TO THE EDITOR 01 THE STAR.

St a,—Tbe noble interest which you have taken in the
cause of Portugal—a cause which, although it is diet of
legitimacy and justice, has been of late abandoned by
some of your contemporaries, who had hitherto strew
ously maintained it, and the kindness with which roe
have inserted immoral letters of mine, encourages ied
address again to you some observations upon the ea.
tents of two articles which have appeared in the roe;
and I trust you will not swerve in your generale F.
pose, nor abandon the cause of truth, only because it
pears to be at present unfortunate—lending the peere4
aid of your paper to maintain the press of England a
that high station which it formerly occupied, and fuel
which it would soon fall in the eyes of impartial Europe, if
it were only employed to defend the Administration nine
it acts wrong, to sacrifice the cause of the oppressed, edd
to put forth subtle and sophistical arguments in facer
of the oppressors.

I know, also, that the British enlightened public at
large feels that a due sense of justice and of honour ira
always be, in the length of time, the best policy for this
country, and that which wisdom teaches as being ben
suited to a powerful nation, who's. Government and Se.
nate can only look for models in the proudest times of
ancient Rome.

Convinced, as I am, of these truths, I have read with
pleasure in the Times of Monday last, a letter 'ivied
by a Portuguese Emigrant, in which some excellent ad-
vice is given to the British Government as well as to the
Portuguese followers of Donna MARlA—advice which, is
the present circumstances, will, I hope, be attended to
by both, and may lead to the most satisfactory and ra.
tional resolution of those intricate difficulties in which
Portugal, and all Europe, on account of the at
fairs of Portugal, find themselves involved. But, Si,
I may be permitted to add to the contents of that letter
some comments, which could not be omitted without is.
justice to the cause of the Portuguese Royalists, and to
try to present the subject in its true point of light before
the British nation.

If England wishes to give us fair play, and to enable
us to measure our swords with the Miguelites, it is nit
enough that she stand aloof, that she should case hit
negociations, and abandon the ides of effecting, by the I
means of an unnatural marriage, an ephemerae' grow•
ciliation between the two parties. Bet it is still mire
necessary that she restrain Spain within the bounds of se
honourable neutrality, exacting from her the same pro-
mises which she exacted from France in behalf of Poe•
tugal, previous to the entrance of the Duke of Ax-
00U LIME'S army into Spain in 1823; and above all, that
she should not hurry herself in giving up our cause for lost,
and recognising Don Mao u EL— an act which politically,
if not juridically, would throw the immense weight of
England's influence into the scale in favour of the Usurper:
that she should allow us the necessary time to strengths"
and increase the garrison of Terceira, and combine
operations which, considering our scanty means, and tbe
immense distance at which the Emperor of BRAZIL, the
'natural protector of Donna MAMA, is placed, cannot is
equity be expected from us to be effected with that
promptitude which certainly would be desirable. Great
Britain is the more engaged in honour to follow that
course, in consequence of the hindrance put by her to
the landing at Terceira of the greatest number of my
countrymen, who, wishing to join their brothers in arm',
were forcibly prevented by a mere abuse of power, and is
violation of every law, from doing so, and remain stall
scattered in France and in other countries of amps.
When the English blockade ceased at the Azores, h
was immediately followed by the presence of the M.
guelite squadron, which now impedes every attempt of
reaching safely that Wand, to the greatest number d
the Portuguese refugees ; and in consequence of which
Ithe Count de VILLA FLOG, with a small band of Ids
brave companions, was obliged, in order to take the
command of that island, to devote himself, and force the
blockade in a small merchant schooner, with the ea-
tainty of being led to the scaffold if he had fallen into
the hands of his unmerciful enemies.

This circumstance leads me to mention also how worthy
it would be of the British Government to obtain from
the de facto Government of Portugal, a treatment of
the prisoners who may fall into his hands similar to
that which the law of nations, in the present civi-
jised state of the world, affords to all prisoners, and to
interfere so far as to prevent Don MIGUEL from com-
mitting against those prisoners, whom he falsely calls
traitors, the same atrocities which the Powers of Europe
have happily succeeded in preventing in the war between
the Greeks and the Turks, upon that same plea of huma-
nity, according to which the British Government has
thought itself sufficiently authorised to oppose all over
the world the continuation of the slave trade.

It is, as I stated, absolutely necessary, if you wish to
give us fair play, to wait till the winter season shall ren
der it impossible to continue the blockade of Terceira,
and to give us a reasonable period of time, in order to try
our forces, maintaining in the interim a line of neutrality
MOM strict and conscientious than you have hitherto
maintained, and avowing and proving faithfully your
partial sympathy in favour of the legitimate, the liberal,
and, I may truly add, the British cause in Portugal—a
partiality which, in the present case, is not at all incon-
sistent with the maintenance of neutrality.
The Portuguese Crown has not been contested or con-
quered in an open way, but shamefully usurped by a
kind of trick, of which no example can be adduced in
history, and that in the face of the world, in the presence
of the British army, and by that same Prince who bad
been escorted to Portugal from the British Islands as the
beloved pupil of the European Sovereigns, and who had
bound himself in their presence to maintain it in trust
for his Sovereign and his future spouse. AB the strength,
all the engines of Government were employed and put in
motion, not to defend that Crown, but to usurp it. The

a Prince, and influenced by a factious and perfidious
minority, was soon roused fiercely enough to render vain
all attempts which the better class of the Portuguese
society, and the great majority of the enlightened part of
the nation, tried to employ, to maintain their rights, to
fulfil their oaths, and to defend themselves against the
domestic robber, who was legally invested with all the
official powers,
To maintain, therefore, that the whole of the Portu-
guese nation has been and is still favourable to Don MI-
GULL'S views, would be a paradox ; as it would be equally
unfair, on the other hand, to deny that he is upheld by
a wow faction of privileged people, and by a fanatical
rabble. It is true that the dissolution of the party
which hoisted at Oporto Queen Donna MARIA'S flag,
wee, in great measure, operated by the numerical supe-
riority of the armed assemblage of the inhabitants of the
two Northern Provinces ; but it is not less true, that
besides the faults, which we will not defend, of a great
part of the leaders of that insurrection, that event was
the consequence of the military organisation, so well
known to the British officers, of the Portuguese popu-
lation, which being all constituted into regiments of
militias and onlenancas, affords always to the existing
Government the easy means of bringing a large nume-
rical force into the field, when orders are issued for it
through an official channel.
But the best proof that there exists in Portugal a con-
siderable dissenting party from the actual Government,
will be found in the subsequent events, if you consider
the large number of Portuguese emigrants who since
that time have abandoned their country, their families, I
their property, and who are still pouring out from Portu-
gal, not only to avoid persecution, but to testify their
loyalty, and to wait fur chances of asserting their
rights.

The stock of Amigo Grain has been considerably focussed
sines the Ist of July, making the above a very lateresdag picture
of the effects of the graduated scale of dodos; the dudes incressing
as the average price decreases, reduces the foreign Coen Trade to
a game of chance. What will the holders do? A fortnight's
kw weather will detract grossly from the value of eke stock

ENTERTAINMENT to Lord LONDONDERRY,
DRAPERS' HALL.

. Mooday, the Drapers' Company gave a splendid en-
' condiment to the Marquis of Loodooderry, and several Mem-
bers of Parliament, amongst whom were the Lord Mayor ;
Aldermen Chide% Rower, Smith, and Myer ; Messrs. Yates
Peel, Dawson, AsteU, Ward, Spring Rice, the Knight of Kerry,
Rerrodalk, Atwood, ice. Ate.
The Senior Warden, epee the entrance of the Marqiiis, pre-
Jested his Lordship with the unanimous resolutions of the CM-
peen innblasoned on vellum, repetitive of their gratitude fee the
seal with which he bad, as Lord Lieutenant of Loodeodesey,
anapaest. ed with them in their endeavours to ameliorate the m-
aths of their Irish tenantry.
After dieser, era the Leah of the Marquis being proposed.
the Noble Lord used the following expressions :
" From my personal koowledge of the past and pretest woa-
d= your Irish estates, which are sot may in my neighbour-
hood. but actually touch my own lead, I am happy to bear teed-
many to the vast whisk has taken place through year
benevolent we, uto the feelings of gratitude year generous
conduct bee produced amongst year Irish moony.
" Goo punt that the same ftellep, evinced by them for your
kindoees seldienerissity as landlords, may be hereafter shown by
the whitslrldt nation towards this country, for the great boon
milady ankered upon It by the legislature.
" I ems onside in the naturally loyal and kind feelings of Irish-
men—if does feelings are allowed fair play—but unhappily, they
appear to he under the sway of agitators, who are exciting them
t obtained by
of Author changes in the Constitution of Ireland. to be
by further unlawful combinations—changes In our
glorious Constitution, which I declare in my judgment to be
whimsey and absurd. which I (although from my sadist youth
the advocate of the Catholic questios) shall be the best to oppose.
I decks" I will consent to no further kmovation upon that Coned-
Woo, whether is Church er &ate ; and I hope and trust my
centerlines will have the gratitude and good some to repel all at-
tempts of the &e acted to Melte them whinier acts of violence."
