interfere in the internal affairs of Portugal either dr
jure or de fed°. The Treaties do not stipulate the dal*
of intervention, unless Portugal is attacked by fOrelgli
.enemies; and as fur the fact, there is nothing in ilse
conduct of ,the Governmiut of Don Miguel which cam
justify an aggression on the part of England. Besides,
England would act .contrary to all the principle( of
neutrality which it Prefesses. and which have been pro.
claimed by the Ministers in full Parliament, even during
the present Session.
The Government cf Lausanne has just shut up the
Methodists' meeting. It is said that the same measure

Our Readers will perceive, by reference to the STAR
of yesterday, that the Hylton Jolliffe steamer has sailed
from Plymouth, under the command of Captain J. M
Minium formerly a Post Cap•sin of the Navy, sop•
pad for the Dardanelles. Rumour states that Capt•
HANCuaTT has received an appointment as Vice-
Admiral pf the 'Turkish Beet, and is to hoist his Sag on
his reaching the Dardanelles, and commence operation•,
again t the Russians. Other ramr,nrs say that Sir
image SMITH, «ho Was lately in this cOttatty, is to
join Captain HANottarr in the Mediterranean, and that
the Turkish feet is to be under his orders.

We know not how much credit is to be assigned
to either of these statements, but vie ate sure that this
country must shortly enter into an alliance with Tui key,
and protect her against the ambition of Rossi.. The
interests of Great Britain and Turkey are too chi:elf
connected to justify our remaining quiet spectators of
the overthrow f our ancient ally by the gigantic strides
of the Northern Colossus.

It is said that some grand financial operation is cet-
' tainly in contemplation; and some of our cotemporaries
bare indulged their fancies in asserting thit this is no-
thing less than the appropriation of the prope,ty of the
Church to the payment of the National Debt: No such
act of spoliation is likely to be proposed ; but if it were,
there would be no fear of its being carrieJ, as 'there is
too large a proportion of the former spoils of the Church
held by Lords and Commons to be given op by them, as,
if Church property is to be touched at all, all that
belonyd to it must be given oft by whomsoever it may
be, now held. But the idea is preposterous, and no
argument need be used to show that it cculd never be
acted upon.

That some strong measure in finance will be adopted
we do not at all doubt. The outstanding onfinded
Debt most be reduced, and this can only be effected
by funding it, or applying the whole of our swiss
Revenue to liquidation of it: and to render this liqui-
dation effective, we must increase our Revenue.
How that can be done is the question ; but we
should not be su►prised to find that an effort
will be made to do so, by substituting a Pro-
perty and Income Tan for some of the present taxes,
which are more expensive in collection, and do not
reach all classes of persons possessing property and in
dependentincomes. A fundholder may possess £lO.OOO
a-year and not contribute a farthing to the national
expenses i and there is no other way of touching such
persons but by a direct tax on his annual receipt..

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette de
Prance dated Thursday morning, reached us last night
They contain intelligence from Moldavia alluding to
the immense preparations making by Russia and Tur-
key for the opening of the campaign, from which it is
