TO THE cotunrui OF LLOYD'S.

- - -------- ---
CENTLEMEN—Captain No*xs, of the Lonach, East
lodiaman, burin*. on his part come forward, as I represented to
you was absolutely necessary, for the honour of the country, the
dignity of the Governmech, and the respect due to your conduct
and representations in the affair—to re-substantiate his former
statemeots of the outrage consmitted on the said vessel by Muust.'s
squadron off Terceira—the matter, at far as regards him, must be
considered at a close : as he now shows, what I already stated,
that the white-washing letter was asst written by him, but was
prepared, cut and dry for his signature, which be was unfortunately
and unguardedly induced to Al to it. But what a scene of cor-
ruption and infamy does be bring to light and expose, and what
will Lord MIZAIDII3I new say of his friends the ltliguelites, and
their mode of trumping up documents to blind the eyes of the
British public, and reconcile them to indignities and insults which
can no longer be tolerated ? Captain Nomts shows, by his letter
of yesterday's date, that hungered none of the cub paid for the
disir4efil document alluded to, and to which he imprudently—
but net corruptly—attuhed his signature. Now, however, ft turns

out that the contradictions of false statements alluded to in that
letter, were net contradictions of my of the facts related of tie
outrage, and so represented to have taken place in the public prints,
but were fifes sksteesests of which the public never before beard--
viz. of personal insults to Optain Nuke, and of personal insults
to the Sag : pure fabrications of the agents of Don Minus., for
the purpose of inducing Captain Noe=s to contradict them, and
insidiously explained by those agents to be the undeased false
statements mentioned In this celebrated letter, which has-now be-
coins a diplomatic document, by which the faith or Wakamatsu
the good or bad credit of Dos Moores Government must be
measured. The public will now judge what conclusions are to be
drawn from this transaction, and what prospects the commerce and
shipping of this country may indulge is for their future trade with
Portugal, should the present Ministry recognise the Government
of that petty tyrant and his faithless spostolical party In Portugal.
Captain Nomes has always been considered an honest, straight-
forward, and good seaman; and, u I feel assured that he will
never be betrayed into such another scrape, so am I glad he has
got out of this, by exposing the detestable enlace employed to gain
his signature to the disgraceful document, played off as a satisfac.
tion on Lord Asuman, with a degree of effrontery hitherto on
equalled : and I now invite that Noble Lord to take back the
stigma unjustly attempted to be attached to another transaction by
his Premier the Duke, when he said in his place in the House of
Lords—,, a grosser political fraud was never practised." So that
the country has not only still to receive an atonement for the insult
committed on the British Sag on board the Lona, but an Aida.
clonal satisfaction' for the unworthy document so insidiously ob-
tained and palmed upon it by the eredikible Gentlemen who do
business for Don Mugu.
Les me, however, reiterate my reconansendatims, that Mr.

Datscou. be compelled to give up half the money received by him,
for reasons and purposes wbkh 1 have pointed out : otherwise.
the clatter cannot be pentitted to rest, and it will be taken up
by the shipping Interests of all the oat ports of the kingdom

There is a paper in "BLACK WOOD'S Magazine"—
published this day—entitled a " Review of the last
Session of Parliament." Tali ex ojicinil, the reader
of course knows what kind of commodity to expect, and
the hasty glance which we have given the article in
question satisfies us' that it does not degenerate from
its source. We will return to it at greater length in
a' few days. In the meantime, as its chief bitterness
appear* :to he poured out upon Mr. PEEL, for the cer-
tainly magnanimous sacrifice which that Right Hon.
Gentleman made last Session to the necessities of the
country, we cannot hear him vilified for a conduct which
does him so much honour, and continue silent even
for a any. It is known with what a thrifty tongue
we feel ourselves compelled to sound any note of
panegyric, either upon the Home Secretary, or the
Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government
but when it has been a question of their merits, in
reference to the Roman Catholic disabilities, we have
never been slow to mote them an ample share of our
applause and gratitude. .If we could see a little more
dearly than we yet can, in this exertion of Mr. PEEL
to conform himself to rising liberalities, a pledge that,
he is about to relinquish altogether his own narrower
views, and come round to the convietions of a generous
policy;diere is not a man in the present Cabinet whom
we should be more disposed—nay, eager•-•-to uphold.
As it is, Nye 'have sent our flag of truce into the
corridors of• Whitehall, and are maintaining—in regard to
use Right Hon. Gentleman—a strictly impartial, though
as armed neutrality. We confess, also, that besides
slur obligation to Mr. PEEL on the subject of
anantipation, we have another strong inducement
.
to give biraa fair' trial, before we: denounce him to 14
capatiPhs a -Minister• unworthy to be trusted. We do

not disguise it—we have reason to know, thiii* a
channel of unquestionable respie,nbility;, that Mr. Past
is not to be despaired of as a Reformer.

The news of the Duke of CADAVAL'S disgrace ap-
pears to be confirmed, and it is stated that he is preparing
to leave Portugal, and to retire to France. Will he
appeal to his friends in that country ? The journals there
have spoken of his dismissal in terms of the grossest
possible personality. He is called a bastard of the late
King of PORTUG AL, and other vituperative epithets
are heaped upon him, which ought to remind the Duke
what are the morals of the faction which he conde-
scended to join to quiet the religious scruples of his
mother,—who—as a French Princess of the House
of LU X LIIROURO—saw in the Portuguese Charier
nothing but enmity to thrones and altars. The Consti-
tutional party in Portugal ought to feel signally avenged
in the disgrace of this person, under whom—in his
quality of Prime Minister of the Usurper's Cabinet
—all those sanguinary and violent persecutions were
ordered, against men whose only crime was fidelity to
the same oaths which the Duke himself had taken,
and afterwards perjuriously betrayed. What a con-
trast is at this moment offered to the eyes at 'Eat
rope! VILLA FLOW displaying over the seeks of
the Azores the banners of Donna MARIA DA GLORIA,
whose rights he swears to vindicate, or seal 4vith his
blood in defending : and CADAVAL—a traitor to that
sacred cause, and afterwards the main pillar of the
usurpation—now utterly despised, and cast off by those
very men who used him as the base tool of their guilt
and treason ! What a lesson does not this furnish for
those cautious and egotistical spirits,-whe cowardlily set
their names to a petition calling Don MIGUEL to the
throne, which they knew of right belonged to their
innocent and helpless QUEEN!.
Disdte jastittans monist, et nos tanner, Dives!
Now that there is such confident rumour of changes in
the French Cabinet, the Duke of CADAVAL may give
the new Ministry some useful hints about Portuguese
affairs. The Quotidienne, or the Gazette de France,
way perhaps descry in his dismissal the defection of a
constitutional proselyte. At any rate, the explanation
of this event by the Apostolical press in France cannot
fail to be interesting ; for, by previous accounts from
Lisbon, it was understood that the SILVRIRA, or
Spanish party, had been very active in causing the eject-
ment of CADAVAL, because he was in some measured,
an obstacle to the Conde BESTA'S wholesale measures
of blood and banishments. Conde BESTA is hailed by
tie revolutionary royalists, as the new PoYB.tL• - the
second restorer of Portuguese grandeur. Let the Duke
Of CADAVAL take heed to this: the first POM RA L
brought a Duke to the scaffold : may not the second
imitate bkn by a similar exploit ?

Letters from Berlin state, that the Conde D'ORIOLA,
late Portuguese Minister,who has been made a Prussian by
letters of naturalization, and from a Peer of Portugal has
become a Deputy to the Provisional Diet of Lusatia, has
received an intimation from Government not to appear
at Court in the uniform of Don Mto lat's Plenipoten-
tiary—a dignity which Count D'ORIOLA was endea-
vouring to establish, by means of his embroidered coat.
It seems that the Prussian Monarch is not disposed to
be so forward in acknowledging Don Min trzt, as M.
D'ORIOLA pretended. This Luso-Prussian is the author
of a certain political memoir, written to justify the usur-
pation in Portugal, which being forwarded to Vienna by
the Prussian Minister B z MINI/ORE'', did not find that
reception from Prince METTERNICH which D'ORIOLA
expected. This very D'ORIOLA, by the way, had been
I Don PEDRO'S Plenipotentiary in Berlin, and was one of
the Peers created by that Monarch. If he has so soon
tired of his hereditary legislative honours, at least it must
be admitted that his means to get rid of them are not
very creditably chosen.

Some new arrangements have taken place in the Paris
Post Office, by which a greater celerity and frequency
of intercourse between the• two countries is secured, at a
very trifling additional expense. This is a commercial
facility, which—from its cost—was confined only to the

great capitalist, whose large embarkations in trade made

it worth his while to send private extraordinary couriers :
bid what was hitherto only the privilege of the wealthy,
is now become the general advantage of all. Thil fol-
lowing are the regulations just issued at the Paris Post
Office : -

dispatched from Paris every Tuesday. Wednesday, Saturday, and
