ABANDONMENT OF THE QUEEN'S CAUSE,
AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DON
MIGUEL BY THE TIMES!

In our observations upon an article in that Print yes-
terday, we considered rather that he had lent himself to
the partialities of a Government, which a sense of duty
to the leaders in it for their efficacious disposal of the ever•
lasting Irish difficulties, had impelled him—almost repug-
nante conscientiii—to support : but to support only so

long, as he saw that it maintained a path worthy of
that national measure. The gravamen of our remon-
strances had this direction, no other : we thought the
Times unfair, we thought him unjust—but we thought
only of that unfairness and that injustice, which were
reconcileable at least to himself by the plausibilities which
uncorrupt partiality supplies, and unmeditated defection
admits. Indeed, indeed, we were not prepared for to-daY :
suth an open dereliction of principle--such a tearing away
with his own hand, of the mask under which he veiled
his features ! In sorrow, and not in anger do we write :
for up to this hour—notwithstanding the many serious
expostulations and even keen reproaches wrung from us—
we did not believe it possible for the Times to stand
erect before the country with uncovered countenance,
such a flagrant delinquent as he now appears. The public
Press of England is brought to burning shame by that
Journal, which has been so long reputed among its
proudest ornaments ; and there is not a writer who loves
its independence, and knows the value of its integrity,
who will not feel—while he reads the article which we
transcribe entire—the deep blush of humiliation scorch
him from cheek to cheek.

" The affair of the ship Lonach, W. Dass►u., owner, and Ro-
wans Naas., Commander, appears likely to produce more com-
motion, and of a more peculiar kind, than was at first imagined.
We entreat the attention of the public to our City article of to-day,
from which the usage of Noarts will appear on his own showing ;
and to his, and his owner's, letter of yesterday. In the latter are
these words —' We, the undersigned, having °heaved, with con-
' siderable reg'ret, various false sialesseents published respecting the
' detention of the East India ship Lonach, off the island of Ter-
' &gra, &c. &c.' Now Donau., the owner, we suppose was not
'Present, and therefore knows nothing of the facts : but the
Daly statement which bad been published being that of Noais,
which ?hues binuelf here calls false,' ►e very gracefully informs
the world that be has stated what is false, in which einamendation
of him Ditsatt, his employer, joins; and they both unite in the
assurance (though Nomts had before said that ' the British coign
was hauled down by the Portuguese,') that ' no insult was offered
to the British flag by any of the Portuguese people !!' This is

monstrous I And It must be observed, though we do net at this
moment know the size of the Lonach, that she is a vessel trading
to the East Indies, the owner and commander of which are such
persons ! It really makes us flinch when we look to the approach-
ing expiration of the East India charter ; and, knowing what our
Company's vessels and mime:mkt' ere at present, contemplate
what may be the character of those who are hereafter to carry on
she general commerce with India, if ne contrail be exercised over
them.

But in the mean time, what is to keeps, of the Lonaeh, and
her owner and commander, and Untying the Portopess Consul?

—(See the letters signed " Nowncos" in this day's Joursal.)—ln
the first place, we cannot hinder Danoss from trading in future,
if he havesbe swaps; but it is impossible that Noaas should ever
be employed by any honest man in the command of a vessel again,
or that any ship's crew should ever be required to obey him :
and in the next place, It is the duty of the Porcupine Coastal
to reclaim the money which he has incautiously advanced. If
be does not do this, 111 IS A TRAITOR TO DON MIGURL AND vu

interfered in this case or in that, but that the injured person, In
whose behalf they bestirred themselves, might come forward like
a Datsatt and a NOARS, and say that he was not injured at ail?—;
that he bad been very prettily treated?—• that no insult was
offered to the British flag?'
" Our own opinion is now, that Muss exaggerated the injustice
be sustained in the first instance,—not probably with the fore-
thought of enhancing his future remuneration, but from the natural
working of injuries, yet recent, upon the human mind. The rest
is clear : and a more mischievous transaction never took piece in
the British mercantile navy. The public will look to the issue
with extreme interest."
Here is Don MIGUEL not simply recognised as de
facto King of Portugal, but held up as its lawful and ac-
knowledged monarch. There is no qualification in the
terms—no reservation of the rights of Donna MARIA,
which are pitched overboard with as little ceremony, as
heretofore they had been supported with duplicity. But
he does not stop at the recognition of his new favourite ;
he vindicates his pure character from aspersion ; he white-
washes—as if emulous to belie the proverb—the mon-
strous, moral blackamoor. Libel upon libel have been
heaped upon that Sovereign. Let it pass : but pay at-
tention to what follows ; for, in his own emphatic lan-
guage, "it really makes us flinch," when we remember
it is the Times we are citing. It is the duty of his Re-
presentative here in England to show, by one striking
example, what is the character of those by whom such
atrocious charges have been brought against him. The
REPRESWMTATIVE of Don MIGUEL in England ! Who
is he—•this ominous, latent personage—now for the first
time so portentously prominent in the columns of our
contemporary? Is it the Visconde n'AssacA, preparing
to throw off the mantle of his clandestinity, and reveal
himself to the startled public as Aberdeen-acknow-
ledged, through that yeoman-pricker for popu-
larity, the Times? Whoever ho be, we guess that
it is quite new for the people of England to hear of Don
MIGUEL'S Ambassador resident at the Court of London!
Yet such is not only the fair construction, but the un-
equivocal and direct meaning of the term—" his repre-
sentative here in England." Why, what a scurvy
practice is this upon our credulity and confidence in Mi-
nisters, or what a foul libel is that paragraph upon them !
But the utrum horum will be soon elucidated, and we
are inclined to give our contemporary full credit for
knowing the direction of the wind.
This, then, is the advocate of Donna MARIA; the
well-wisher to the righteous cause, whose opinion con-
cerning Mto 1,71.1.'s enormities continues as it was before.
0 TEMPORA—O Moans ! Populus htec intelligit ;
patria videt ; hic tamen scribit : scribit ? imO vere edam
in focos atque arcs venit ; fit publici consilii particeps ;
notat et designat libellis ad traditionem unumquemque
nostrum

So there is an end, from this day forward, of all cham-
pionship for the young Queen by the Times. It is at
any rate a relief to know the worst : if he had continued
to wear the veil of dissimulation, he might have been re-
lied on when better help shall come to be needed. As a
sign of the cause of Donna MARIA with the Govern-
ment, this article also presents an ugly character. It
emanates from a quarter, now too well known for its de-
votedness to the Noble Duke, not to be the herald of
some sinister demonstration on the part of Ministers.
We trust, however—as we said before—that they will
pause, before they forfeit their last hold upon the
respect of Englishmen. There is no tumult in the
country ; there is no intimidatory attitude assumed by
the people ; but they were never more prepared to resent
deeply, and requite signally, any attempt to revive the
domineering spirit which troubled England in 1819,
when the'Noble Duke was a colleague of Lords SID-
MOUTH and CASTLEREAG 11. The cry of this country is
raised against the recognition of MIGI:r.L, not only be-
cause it loves to protect the injured, but because a policy
is interwoven with that recognition, destructive equally
of its public honour and independence abroad.

We have received French Papers up to Sunday. The
Constitutionnel, in an article professing to develope the
views of Russia, and which we consider a sound exposi-
tion of the policy of that Power, states roundly that the
period is arrived for her to throw off with impunity the
mask of moderation, and crown her successes with the spoil
of conquest. Her encroachments in the Mediterranean,
we suspect, will soon make Europe uneasy ; and if it be
true that she is already in transitu through sonic of the
Balkan passes, the throne of the CONSTANTIN Ea is be-
come her estate in reversion : that is, if the great Powers
of the Continent acquiesce—if not—a general conflagra-
tion. We, however, for ourselves, do not yet believe that
we must despair of peace. The extract in question will
be found in our first page, as well as one on the same
subject from the Journal des Debats.

The Courrier d' Orient (now published at Egina) con-
tains, in :its Number of the 4th of June, received this
day, a decree, by which the National Congress is sum-
moned to meet at Argos on the 13th July. Count Jon x
CAPO DISTRIAS set out from Poros on the 3d June, to
visit Napoli di Romania, and was expected to return
very soon, either to Poros or Egina. It is generally
believed that he had given up his intention of visiting the
Cyclades before the meeting of the National Congress,

General CHURCH arrived on the 30th May at Egins.
from his head-quarters in Western Greece. On his way
he visited the fortresies of Lepanto and Misaolonghi.
The morning after his arrival he had an interview with
the President.

This day we have the supplement to the Algenieine
Zeitung to the 21st inst. in which is published an article
from the Rhine, calculated to excite a deep interest in
this country, on the subject of our relations with the pro-
vincial Governments of South America. This article is
introduced by these observations -" So much has
been said in the public papers respecting the causes,
and the object, of the revolution brought about at
Buenos Ayres in December last by General LAVALLE,
that it is difficult for German readers unacquainted
with the particulars to form an opinion. They must have
observed, however, that the greater part, and the most
violent of the declamations against this revolution and its
authors, have been transferred from the English jour-
nals, especially the Courier, into the German Papers.
An eye witness, who has resided several years in Buenos
Ayres, and has lately returned to Europe, thinks it due
to truth, and the good cause which General LAVALLE
has undertaken to defend, to give the following public
statement :"
To the Treaty of Peace concluded by the Wens:Won if England
between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, an additional article was an-
nexed, by which the two contracting parties agree that the navi-
gation up the river Le Pieta shall be free to the subjects of both
Powers,—that is to say, the Republic of Buenos Ayres engaged to
allow Brazilian ships to ascend the river. Now, there is a Con
notion between Buenos Ayres and England, concluded six years
ago, in which the Republic engages to grant to the subjects of his
Britannic Majesty all the privileges which it may at any future
time grant to the subjects of another Government. If, therefore,
Brazilian ships are allowed to go up the river, the same permission
must be given, according to the Convention, to English ships, and the
English Government would thus attain indirectly the accomplish-
ment of a long cherished wish, the fulfilment of which, in a direct
manner, could scarcely be expected. This additional article was
a finesse of English policy, for the people did not expect any evil,
and Dorrego therefore believed that he could agree to it without
danger. Unfortunately for the English negotiators and for Dor-
rego, Rivadavia had an opportunity, daring the eighteen months
that he was President, of acting a little of the labyrinths of English
policy, and thus the real object of the additional article was evident
to him, and he opened the eyes of the people, and, showed them
how dear the services of the English mediator cost them.
It is notorious that, in the nine years' struggle with the Mother
Country, Beano. Ayres sacrificed very large suns, to obtain
independence for itself and the other provinces of La Plata.
The lat. war with Brasil was carried on at the sole expense of
Buenos Ayres,—the other provinces not contributing a penny,
though they will share all the advantages of the peace. Buenos
Ayres will never receive any direct indemnity from any other pro-
vinces, but may he indirectly indemnified in time, if the others re-
frain, as hitherto, front direct trade with the rest of the world, and
bring their productions to the market of Buenos Ayres, for sale or
exchange for European articles. The receipt of customs has been
about 3 millions of piastres annually, of which 2 came from the trade
with the provinces in the interior. If this trade closes, and the inland
provinces take a direct share in foreign commerce, Buenos Ayres
will lose two millions of piastres annually, which will go into the
pockets of the English, who by free navigation up the river, would
avoid the duty at Buenos ; and that city, instead of becoming im-
portant, would sink into insignificance, and never be able to pay its
debt of thirty millions of piastre. : it must become bankrupt. It
cannot be denied that the free navigation of the river Plata would
be highly advantageous to the English, and the English Government
cannot be blamed for end hag to obtain this advantage
for its subjects. But, after the above statement, who can for
a moment hesitate to declare General Dorrego guilty of be-
traying the dearest interests of his country, which had been con-
fided to him? Who can doubt for a moment that the addi-
tional article (which, if carried into execution, would be the
ruin of Buenos Ayres) could not have obtained Dorrego's assent
without a great bribe? There is no doubt, therefore, that Lavelle
has done what must be disagreeable to the English, as it is evident
that the party now at the helm will never suffer the additional
article to be carried into effect. The three years' efforts of Lord
Ponsonby, the great expenses of this extraordinary Embassy, and
all the bribes lavished on Dorrego and his creatures, are thrown
away ; and all the advantages lost which England thought it had
secured by its interference in the dispute between Buenos Ayres
and Brazil. It le no wonder that the English Journals give vent
to their vexation, by violent attacks on Gen. Lavelle, and the rev.•
ludas he has effected. It must be vexatious to lose so suddenly and
unexpectedly a great advantage which w•as thought to be secure.

CITY. TwaLvs O'CLOCK.

Consols which left off yesterday at 88j•119, opened at the same
price this morning. since which the market appears heavy, and they
have been done at 88/ and Bill for money.
Report says, that Government are In want of money, and the
Saving Banks are going to sell again.

CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

The Coning market has continued heavy during the whole of the
morning ; and Console are at presvnt $Bl j for the account, and
11111 sellers for money, with little business doing.
In the Foreign Market the only business doing was in Danish
Bonds, which are lower.

The heaviness of the Money Market this day is attri-
buted to the news from Constantinople—news quite the
reverse of what has been so confidently expected. '
Private letters from Toulon mention that Colonel
HEY DECK is about to quit the Greek service, and that he
is to be succeeded by a French superior Officer, charged
with the organization of the Greeks. Gen. DEUTRET
is also said to be nominated in place of Gen. Cu u acu.
Private letters from Hamburgh bring accounts of a
considerable failure at Magdeburgh, to the amount of
200,000 marks. The commercial houses at Hamburgh
are the principal sufferers.—At Leghorn there has been a
failure to a considerable amount.

Accounts from Lisbon state, that it was reported there,
that the ship of the line Jean Sixth, had been much da-
maged by the fire of tho batteries off Terceira, which
carried away her rudder ; and she was obliged to cut her
cables and escape.—This has greatly dismayed the troops
on board the squadron.

By the French Mail this morning, the letters from
Constantinople, of the 20th June, state, that the GRAN D
SULTAN has taken advantage of his great popularity,
and has sent off couriers in all directions to call the
people to arms. It was said in the capital, that the Divan
had declared that they are disposed to adhere to the
basis of the Treaty of the 6th July, provided that no
Chief is appointed at the head of the Greek Govern-
ment, who is under the influence of any Christian Power;
and that the Supreme Ruler of the Greeks must be a
person of that nation,—a native of the Mores.—lt is
also stated, that the GRAN DVIZ IRR has not thirty thou-
sand men at Shumla, and the fever has cal great
havoc in his army, which will oblige him to retreat
to Adrianople.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.

We have been without direct news from Portugal for
a week or more —in the mean time several articles Which
have appeared in the French Papers, relative to that an.
fortunate country, deserve consideration.

It is said that an extraordinary courier, from Madrui.
arrived at the Spanish embassy, in Paris, and a few hour.
afterwards proceeded to London, and that he is the bear"
of great complaints (rod' the Spanish Government respect.
ing the delay of the English Government in recognizing
Don MIGUEL, now that he has promised to marry bb
niece ; and it is said that the Cabinet of Madrid declare,
in consequence, that it will no longer answer for the con.
duct Don MIGUEL may pursue in Portugal. Now, Mr.
Editor, if the news be well founded, and I am inclined
to believe it is, to what a series of reflections does it sot
give rise ? In the first instance, we have the Spanish
Government busying itself with the affairs of Portugal_
that is, about the best means of effecting at once the con.
solidation of MIGUEL'S usurpation, and that, too, with
the concurrence of other Cabinets, especially of the

British, which, less than any other, we should expect
to be exerting itself to establish Spanish influence
in Portugal, and to surrender to FERDIN•ND the
direction, which till now Great Britain seemed do.
sirous to keep to herself, of the political affairs of Porte.

gal—thus paving the way to the establishment of a sys-
tem, first of Protectorate, and subsequently of Sovereignty
over Portugal.

We have, in the second instance, the evidentsproof of
the truth of the assertion, that it is by means of the
marriage of Don M tau EL with his niece, that the Bri-
tish Cabinet wishes to effect the unworthy reconciliation,
and that a promise to that effect has been exacted from

MiutrEL—a promise too for which he thinks himself en-
titled to compensation ; and that, notwithstanding the
denials given by Ministers in Parliament, of their being
at all accessary to the plan of that marriage, they are
still endeavouring to prompt Spanish influence at Lisboa
to carry it into effect.

But even supposing such a measure to be desirable in
a political as well as moral point of view, what security
can the promise of the Infant Don MIGUEL, were he to
renew it now, afford us, more than the former one—and
how could we be assured that he would not break his faith
a second time as well as he did the first ? As to me, it
is quite evident that neither Spain nor even England
care any thing about the marriage ; their only object is
to avail themselves of that pretext in order to bring about
an apparent compromise of the conflicting parties, to
acknowledge Don 111 to UEL in all haste—to extinguish
the Constitution and abandon its adherents, the loyal
subjects of Donna MA RI A to their fate.
Finally it is worth observing, how the Spanish Govern-
ment and its pupil the Infant Don MtotTEL think them-
selves entitled to high reward and applause, only because
he has condescended to promise what he probably will not
fulfil, nay, perhaps, what he never intends to fulfil, and
because he has of late adopted what he calls a system of
moderation, that is to say, that no new victims have limn
hanged for the last two months ; and that perhaps one in
one hundred prisoners of those against whom there was
not an atom of charge to be brought, have been released
at Lisbon—observe, Mr. Editor, that I say at Lisbon--

because in fact this much extolled moderation hos
not extended itself to the provinces where new judi-
cial prosecutions were daily appearing, in proof of
which I can assure you as an authentic fact, though
it seems scarcely "credible, that in the three Pro-
vinces of the North of Portugal about 15,000 pro-
nuncias, or what in England is called true bills, have
been found against as many individuals, accused of po-
litical crimes—but even so, it seems that the new system
of moderation weighs heavily on the Infant's mind, u
well as that of his mother—that they are panting to be
released from an engagement so contrary to their wishes
—and that, like confined tigers, they press against the
barrier which temporarily hinders them from spilling
human blood—loudly complaining because they are not
instantly paid the salary which was promised them as
the price of their forbearance.
Let the English nation judge impartially of the wisdos
of the policy by which the great influence of this country
is employed in maintaining such a man upon the throne—
such a system on foot—and of substituting Spanish iM
fluence instead of British to rule in the Cabinet of links.

EwNls, JULY 23.—Saturday evening, as Mr. Thomas
O'Brien. of Rathlterry, was returning home from this town, he
was waylaid on the height of Drumbiggle, by two reliant, one d
whom struck him= the side of the head with a *canoed hooded
him down, saying, "there goes a Vesey man," then both the villaies
beat trim in a most unmerciful manner, leaving him for dead,
all covered with gore. He received eleven cuts on the bead. mid
his body and limbs severely beat and brilised from the iron kirk
on their sticks. There are slight hopes entertained of his recovery.
The perpetrators of this brutal attack are known, and will not
escape the punishment due to their crime.
INVERKEITIIING.—On the 4th of May last, the Earl
of Elgin's gamekeeper shot a fine terrier dog on the funs el
Orchardhead, possessed by W. Walker, Esq. of New Beath, 584
who was the owner of the dog. Mr. Walker brought an action
before the Sheriff-substitute for the western district against the
keeper. concluding for damages, Ike. A proof was allowed last
week as to the value of the dog, and various ocher points in tem,

was eventually agreed to—tbe defendant paying 41. in the name of
damages, and all expences incurred.
