Having, as we trust, proved by numerous facts and
incontrovertible arguments, that the recognition of Don
Mtn um. is incompatible with the rights of legitimacy
and the universally received law of nations, our next
object was to refute those who asserted that British com-
merce could derive any benefit from the Government
of the Usurper. Upon this subject, we took more than
ordinary pains—one of our collaborators proceeded to
the Azores, and subsequently to Lisbon, for the express
purpose of ascertaining not only the opinion of the
Portuguese people with regard to the Usurpation, but
also to inquire into the excesses committed. against
British subjects and British commerce by the officers
and agents of the tyrant. The result of these in-
quiries will be found in the correspondence which ap-
peared in our columns, during the months of September
and October last : a correspondence, disclosing a mass
of authentic and concatenated facts, such as would have
excited the indignation and resentment of any but an
Administration bent on cherishing the Usurper, in pro-
portion as he continued to outrage the feelings, dilapi-
date the commerce, and insult the flag of the country.
This accumulation of facts being on record,
we now invite attention to an article of the Times,
which confirms one most important feature in our former
expositions. It appears that by a subterfuge, worthy of
such a faithless and unprincipled crew as the despot's
Ministers, they are endeavouring to increase the duties
of fifteen per cent. on British goods—stipulated by
treaty—to thirty !
In addition to the above fact, we repeat, without fear
of contradiction, that the Miguelite and apostolical fac-
tion—in order to prove more effectually their hatred of
England—have for the last two years given a notorious
preference to French manufactures.
We are obliged to the Times for informing us that
Mr. MACKENZIE has been instructed, " to remonstrate
against this interpretation of the Treaty :" and yet, it is
while Ministers are thus remonstrating, that more than
one journal--professing to be the organ of national and
liberal principles—is preparing the public mind for the
recognition of Don M 'Gun. I

While the conferences now holding in London are said
to be settling the future limits and Government of
Greece, the political agents of Russia are sending forth
articles, in which they endeavour to prove that CA1•0
relsT alas would be the most eligible Head of the New
State. We have already given our opinion very freely both
as to the bad faith betrayed by the Ex-Minister of
Russia, and his marked unpopularity among the people
over whom he had been called to rule during a particular
crisis. There is one part of the Ancona paragraph,
which has found its way to England, that de-
mands a short reply : it is where—alluding to
the cabal which he affirms is at work to re-
move the President from Greece—the writer says the
Greeks would " reluctantly obey a stranger." There is
not a particle of truth in this assertion; on the
contrary, it is notorious that all Greeks—from the
peasant to the deputy and military chiefs—are deeply
sensible of the inconvenience and jealousies of every
kind which would beset a native Prince. We do
not, in fact, believe in the possibility of establishing a
