To judge of crimes and of criminals Is not, in a state
of society, the attribute of any private person; Govern.
sweats alone are competent to determine on political
changes, the system of Government and measures
of State. The rule by which the passions of men
are measured does not teach the eminence of the
Throne, because Majesty, like the lofty Olym-
pus, proudly raises its bead above clouds and tem-
pests, Let no one, therefore, think that he shall
tender an agreeable service to his Highness by classing
at his own pleasure the good and bad subjects, thus
treading to place himself above the law, and doing
bat can only be done by his Royal Highness by virtue
*of the same law; such a proCeeding would be a criminal
usurpation of power by the same person who ought
and pretends to respect it; and because, In short, it is
not by means of a crime that the criminal is to be
brought before the law. If against this truth it should
be attempted to allege the venerable principles of
religion; if it should be pretended to oppose some
reasons of fidelity; if an appeal shostld be made
to the necessity of devoting to punishment and execu-
tion those who are reputed bad subjects—ungrateful,
turbulent, and pernicious—let the people be convinced
that neither religion nor loyalty can approve of pro-
ceedings wl ich do not originate frdm the law, from
humanity and brotherly love. Insults irritate, but do
not convince; and threats render him obstinate, who
might otherwise be amended. It is for the bead of the
Government to judge of indulgence and severity, be-
cause he alone knows what is most proper for the State ;
and therefore it is for him alone to determine whether it
be more advantageous or glorious to see his enemies
confounded by his clemency or overthrown by his power?
Let us therefore tranquilly expect him whom Provi-
dence has made the depository of the Sovereign power
of the King, and let us hope every thing from his justice,
his goodness, and his wisdom, and if meantime any
service is required from us, it is to confound „by oar
moderation, those, if there be any, who have offended
our self-love, and who perhaps have shewn themselves
our enemies ; by this we shall silently but efficaciously
reprove their extravagancies, and perhaps attain the
happy result, that abashed by our generosity, ashamed
of their errors, and convinced of the falseness of their
principles, they will return to the path from which they
never should have deviated, and consolidate the peace
and harmony which now more than ever should prevail
among all the Portuguese.
Ocroun s.—Arrived yesterday the Pottaguese
brigantine Leao, in 36 days, from Pernambuco. The
Captain states, that that province was tranquil, that
most of the persons arrested on account of the late
conspiracy, had been sent in different ships t.r Rio de
Janeiro. A fortnight before this brigantine sailed, a
corvette from Rio de Janeiro had arrived, but brought
no news of the conclusion of peace with Buenos Ayres,
on the contrary, great armaments were making at Rio,
for the Stputh. Two frigates v ith 800 troops bad sailed
from Pernambuco for Rio Grande. Several vessels
arrived at Pernambuco, from Para, had brought word
that a revolution had been planned there which was to
have broken out on Midsummer Day, but that the
energetic measures of the Government bad entirely
baffied the project of the revolutionists.

The Gibraltar Papers received yesterday to the 28th
ult. state, that the intercourse with Algiers and the
other blockaded ports continues without interruptioo;

rison the departure of the Kura for Catalonia was
known. the letter says—,, No person is so proper to
put down the rebellion as he who raised it."

The New York Statesman puts himself in mourning,
in announcing As, the unexpected and much !amen*
death of Mr. Castanet, the First Minister of England,
and, as we believe, the First Man in Europe, and, if
not the first, one of the greatest Statesmen in the
.r. e mournful aspect of our columns, feels,
as the tribute may appear to the deceased plebeian-
Statesman, who was a Republican in bean and in
soul, would not be assumed for the loss of his Royal
Master or that of all the Kings who sit on eat thly
thmes• We topsider the death of Mr. Canning a
less to the world. Gradually and steadily he was in-
fusing into the monarchical Governments of Europe the
`coal sentiments and free principles for which our re-
tionary fathers fought, and triumphantly establish-
Mr. Canning was a bright and brilliant star, to
h all eyes were turned, both in the Old and in the
World, upon both of which the light of his mind,
.ightness of his genius, and the glory of his life,
their benignant and hope-inspiring rays. We can
say, in the language of a French Paper, a There
some sympathies so powerful, that the spirit of
'airy itself cannot weaken them. We live in times
the loss of a Minister,friendly to liberal institutions,
cause of sorrow to all generous hearts."
