The letters from Spain announce that the KING will
grant a general amnesty on his marriage. This is good
as fir as it may be a sign of bettor councils influencing the.
Royal mind ; but how is FEEL Dm AN D to inspire confi-
dence in his good faith? When the will of one man may
make the misery of all men, who will trust themselves
to a clemency which presents no other guarantees than
those which depend on a word so often broken? How
frequently has absolute power spread similar snares for its
victims, and how many instances of recent perfidy have
ey tiiguished all respect for the most solemn asseverations ?
We shall he glad, indeed, if Spain should offer again a
country for the many meritorious citizens now wandering
as aliens in strange lands; but before we can feel secure
of their safety after return, we must see measures taken
to prove, not only that political persecutions may cease,
but that a cordial union may be established between the
(government and the people. Then Europe may have
hors of pursuing a policy conformable to her own inte-
rea4:;, and the general welfare.

The information that a large armament is about to sail
under the flag of Old Spain, for the re-conquest of
Me,tico, is no longer doubted. The article from the I
New York papers, which has been re-published in the
Tires of yesterday, has caused a great sensation—as

wel! it might. This expedition, if it should land, can
hive only desolation fur its object; and we repeat that
the Governments of England and North America having
intervened to prevent the Mexicans carrying that war into
Cuba and Puerto Rico, ought not to have permitted any
arma men t against Mexico and Colombia from these islands.
We are only surprised at the supineness of the merchants
trading to South America, and at that of the possessors
of West India property. How long do they imagine that
tloy will continue safe, if such devastations are to be toter-
,!,a again

The accounts which arrive from Terceira--those espe-
cially which have been brought by the . Countess of
Liverpool—are of the most satisfactory.description. All
is progressive towards the great end, and the Conde de
VILLA FLOR has organised the resources of the island
admirably. He has made military and civil nominations
among the most intelligent of its inhabitants, which can-
not fail to be very effective ; and he has established a line
of telegraphs from point to point, and armed some gun-
boats to increase the general means of defence. The best
spirit prevails, both among the troops and people, and
tho utmost determination to resist the meditated attack
upon it by the forces of MIG VEL : and there, if we
may be allowed to predict, the tyrant's power is on the
point of receiving a check, which can but shortly
precede his utter downfall. The version given 'by these
accounts of the operation of MIGUEL'S squadron, is very
different from that related by the Lisbon Gazette;
as we find that the seventy-four gun ship—Don JOHN
VI.-with the flag of Vice-Admiral ROZA, was so
roughly handled by the batteries, while supporting the
boats in their attempt to cut off a small vessel stand-
ing in for Port Praya, that she has been obliged to
abandon the station, and proceed to St. Michael to refit.
It is true, the usurper's squadron has taken two Por-
tuguese merchant vessels, the property of individuals,
but in this there is more violence than tact : for a re-
taliation on the part of the young Queen's adherents
would soon inflict great distress on the Miguelitos of Por-
tugal. By this act, however, Don MIGUEL plainly
proves to the world, and to his friends in the British
Ministry, that his cause is the cause of the people, since
he condescends to make war on their property and
commerce !

But this unnatural condition of things is drawing fast
to its close ; perhaps ere the approaching harvest 6 over,
we may see great changes in the fate of Portugal.

The letter of Mr. O'CoN N ELL to his constituents in
Clare is published in our Paper of to-day. It is unusually
temperate, coming from such a pen, and very guarded :
but his insinuation about a restored Parliament in Ire-
land—and his canting announcement that the cause of
his and their religion is the cause of Gun—will escape
nobody. We shall return to this.

ER RAT t• i.— -We ought to have noticed yesterday an
erratum, which appeared in our article on tho Empress of
Brazil, inserted last Wednesday : last line—for " colo-
nial population," read coloured population.

Tho Dutch mail this day brings us an account of the
proceedings of the English and French Ambassadors dur-
ing their brief stay at Smyrna. It is highly gratifying
to find that Mr. GORDON has distinctly and unequivo-
cally disavowed, on the part of our Government, the re-
cognition of the annoying blockades in the Levant ; and
that decided measures are adopted" to prevent every inter-
ruption of the free trade of British subjects" in that quarter.
VIENNA, Jura, 12.
NMI FROM 1113 MINA.
- - - -

Mr. Robert Gordon, Ambassador from Great Britain to the
Porte, arrived at Smyrna on the 6th June, at two in the afternoon,
on board the Revenge—and Count Guillensinot, the French Am-
bassador, 24 hours later, on board the Breslau. The two Am.
bassadors were saluted by all the ships of war lying at anchor in
the road. of Smyrna. The French Rear Admiral Rosamel, (who
commands the French squadron in the Levant daring the absence
of Vice Admiral de Rigny) arrived on the 7tb, on hoard the
Trident. Vice Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, on board the
Asia, at Vourla, on the 3tl of June. The English ships of
the line Windsor Castle, Ocean, and Spartiate, several frigates, and
some smaller men of war, are also at anchor in that port. The
&farrier de Stnyrne of the 14th June contains the following account
of what passed during the stay of the two Ambassadors in the road
of Sinyrna:

" The Kiaja Bey of Hassan Paths, the Governor of Smyrna,
(who bad been informed by the first Dragoman of the General
Consulate of the Netherlands of the arrival of the two Ambassadors,)
repaired on the 7th on board the ships in which they arrived, to
compliment them In the name of the Vizier,who, at the same time,
according to Oriental custom, had sent them presents of baskets of
fruit and vegetables. The Kiaja Bey was received with great
distinction by the Ambassadors, and then waited on the Admirals,
to whom similar presents were offered.
44 On the same day the English Admiral, attended by part of
the officers of his squadron, paid a visit to Hassan Pacba, the
Turkish Governor. A similar visit was paid him the next day by
the French Admiral and his officers. Both Admirals were intro.
duced to the Vizier by the Dutch Consul General. Immediately
after the arrival of Count Guilleminot, the deputies of the French
merchants waited upon him. and requested him to give an audience
on the following day to the Corporation of the French merchants.
Accordingly, on the Bth, at eleven in the morning, all the French
merchants assembled at the residence of the Dutch Consul General.
under whose protection they had hitherto been placed, and ac-
companied hint on board the Breslau, when Count Guilleminot
received the congratulations of the nation. Through the Consul.
General and the first deputies of the merchants, Count Guille-
minot paid the most friendly attention to the requests made of
him by the merchants, and promised them all the protection
necessary in the unpleasant situation in which they were
placed, by the events in the East. The Corporation then
went on board the Trident, to pay their respects to Admiral
Itosamel, to whom the first deputy expressed the gratitude
of the French merchants to the French marine, for the
attentive and constant protection which they bad received from all
the men of war of his Must Christian Majesty, in such critical times.
" On the 9th, in the morning, Mr. Gordon received the
English merchants at the Dutch Consul General's, and promised
them that one of his first endeavours, after his arrival front
Constantinople, should be, to enforce the payment of the claims
of the British subjects on merchandise and effects In the
bands of the Greeks, who fled at the breaking out of the
Greek revolution, and which were, at that time, confiscated by the
Porte, as the property of rebellious subjects. This assurance was
extremely agreeable to the merchants, whose claims amount to
large sums. It was no less welcome to the merchants of other
nations, who are almost all of them similarly situated, and hope
that the united exertions of their Excellencies will obtain, if not
the whole of their demands, at least a suitable indemnity for
claims, the justice of wbi, h cannot be called in question.
" the 9th, in the evening, Count Guilleminot honoured
with a visit the two deputies of the merchants, who consider
this as a new proof of his Excellency's favour to the French
merchants In the Levant, who are placed under his protec-
tion. The two Ambassadors sailed on the 10th at day break,
on board their ships of the line, which were accompanied
by many frigates and smaller ships of war of both nations. At
Penedos their Excellencies will leave the ships of the line, and go
on board frigates to proceed through the Dardanelles to nand-
nople, where they arrived on the 18th, and were received with
great joy. M. Dawkins, English resident at the seat of the Greek
Government, has passed some days at Smyrna. and accompanied
Mr. Gordon to Tenedos, whence he will probably return to Egina."
The Courtier de &woe contains also the following article : " As
the publication of the two decreer of blockade issued by the Greek
Government in our paper took place in consequence of a commu-
nication of M. J. Van Leonel), Consul General of the Netherlands
in this city, who had received them officially from the provisional
French Charge d'Affaires at Egina ; for this reason Mr. Gordon,
Ambassador of Great Britain to the Sublime Porte, fearing that
this notification, provided with the authority of the officer to whom
the protection of the British interests at Smyrna was at that time
confided, might mislead the English merchants with respect to the
light in which the British Government considers the said blockade,
was pleased, before he set out for the capital of Turkey, to authorise
M. J. Van Lennep to make the following communication to the
English merchanu :
" The Greek Government having issued two decrees, one of
which. referring to the blockade of the coasts of Attica, Negropont,
and Vole, proclaims the extension of this blockade to the Gulf of
Kissaros, and the other relates to the blockade of the COWS of I
Western Greece ;
" Notice is hereby given to the English merchants in this drys
not only that the said blockades are neSrecegnined Greet Briton;

at a moment when it is engaged in a negotiation, the object of which
is the pacification of Greece, but also that t►e most ekesded measures
will be adopted by the Commander-in Chief of his Majesty's fleet
in the Mediterranean to prevent every Interruption of the free
trade of British subjects with either coast of that Continent."
It seems unnecessary to add, that the raising of the blockade of
Candia is included in the above notice. The illegality of that
blockade is, in fact, as clear as day, since the Allied Powers are
agreed that Candia can in no cue make a part of the future Greek
State.
AU the Consuls and Vice-Consuls of England and France in the
several ports of the Ottoman Empire have received orders to re-
pair to their respective posts with as little delay as possible. This
news, adds the Cc/eerier de Sosyree, has been received by the mer-
chants with the greatest joy.—Ascerens Observer, My 13.

FURTHER EXTRACTS OF OUR LETTERS.
MADEIRA, JuLr 4.

On Saturday last arrived the Ariadne frigate, Captain
MA itiLYAT, from England, and on coming to anchor sa-
luted the Government of MI6 un 1., being the first ship of
war of any nation that has done so since the usurpation.
Great excitement was consequently produced- --the report
was instantly spread throughout the town that a frigate
had brought the recognition of Don MI6 uEL by the Bri-
tish Government, to the great exultation of the governing
party, and tho great annoyance of the persecuted adhe-
rents of the Queen Donna MARIA ; while all persons in
the evening were compelled to illuminate their houses by
bands of blackguards, who paraded the streets and sa-
luted the houses of the Faithful with virus, and those of
the Malhados, or opposite party, with groans and exe-
crations.

There are some persons here who conceive that the act
of Captain MAR It Y AT is not to be attributed to any orders
that he has received from Government, but to his own
well-known eccentricity of character and wish to do every
thing different from any one else—certain it is, however,
that the act forms a great era in the Miguelito usurpation,
as Captain SA RTOlt lus and the whole of the British
squadron that were in the Tagus, and all the ships that
have since visited Lisbon, have invariably refused to
salute MIG U EL'S goverument—the French squadron has
also strictly adhered to this principle, and even when the
Galatea frigate arrived at this island with Lord ST RAN G-
FOR n on board, as our Ambassador for the Brazils, we
I know that her Captain, Sir CII Alt LES SU LI v AN, Bart.
refused to comply with Lord STRANG rolas strenuous
solicitations to salute the port, expressing, with the noble
English feeling that he so eminently possesses, that he
had no orders to do so, and that ho should never of his
own accord be the first to salute the perfidious usurper of
a throne, to which he had exalted his person by the vio-
lation of his solemn oaths to govern the kingdom for his
1 brother, and the people, by their constitutional charter.

Our Governor continues his nightly vigils, muffled up
in a large cloak, and attended by a few select soldiers, and
a set of ruffians, whom he takes great delight in seeing
ill-use and abuse every one they meet, so that no respect-
able person can now trust himself out at night, even with
a torch and servant before him, to pass from ono door to
another—and many of our English merchants, who pro-
fited so largely by the reduction of the price of wines, on
the exile of all the Portuguese merchants and pro-
prietors, have already become tired even of their
good fortune, and their love of Miguelism, as many
of them have got themselves ill-treated and abused—but
as, according to the old adage, you may judge of a man
by the company he keeps—so may you do of our Gover-
nor, when I acquaint you that he has elevated a Mr.
Mlle u EL, a shoemaker, who was drum-major to the
town militia, to the duties of Aide-de-Camp at his
Palace; and while our former Governors never failed to
get handsomely entertained by our Consul-General—
this one has descended to an acquaintance with the Con-
sul-General's cook, JOHN BAPTISTA,IOIO has, since Mr.
VEITC Ws unfortunate absence, become a sort of com-
missary. The Governor had the honour, a few days ago,
of accepting an invitation to dinner from this Italian
cook, who after being employed throughout the day in
preparing some of his best dishes of rabiola soup, &c.
for which he has long been " far-famed," had in the
evening the honour of presiding at his own well-cooked
dinner, and commending its good qualities to his dis-
tinguished guest, rabble suite, and shoemaker aide-de-
camps.—Much conviviality prevailed, and the distin-
guished company parted, after an ample potation, at an
early hour of the morning, highly gratified with the good
things, good cheer, and hospitality, they had experienced
from their host—who is, by the bye, a clever fellow, and
knows how to divide with his Excellency the gains of the
Commissariat.—Such are the men of distinction now in
Madeira—such are the authorities of MlGUEL—such
are—according to Lord ABERDEEN, in the House of
Peers—the vaunted friends of England.

Our City Correspondent says:—" We are credibly
informed that the invasion of Mexico by the Spaniards
from the flavannah, will certainly take place, and that
the Proclamation of the Spanish Government is posi-
tively in town, to be issued on the landing a the expe-
dition. The mission of Count OFALIA to this country
and France, positively related to the above expedition, to
obtain the consent of both Governments."
Letters from the banks of the Vistula, July 8, state that
the departure of Count NESS EL RODE for Tulz, tends to
confirm the report that the Emperor of RUSSIA will pro-
ceed to Jassy, and perhaps to the Russian head -quarters.
A Paris paper received this morning by the mail, states,
that a sale of the effects of Marshal Hou ENLOIIE took
place ; and, amongst the effects which were put up for
auction, appeared a handsome portrait of Don MIGUEL,
a present to the pious Marshal by that Prince. This pre-
cious portrait was put up at five franca, and was on the
eve of being bought in, when a person of great character
ventured to add twenty sous, and was immediately de-
clared the fortunate puvhaser.


THE KEAN WHERRY.

There is a spirit of patriotism about Mr. Kto
which—by those who know him—is often discovera!,,.
in his tastes and actions. His annual gift of a wherry t,
the Thames watermen, is one of those acts which nil,
be clearly traced to that noble principle : and it etmnot
be questioned, that the emulation thus periodically ev
cited by such a present, the winning of which is bac
cient to establish a poor man in competence and cut.
fort—for a boat on the river is, of itself, a stock im
trade—has materially contributed to the present perfective
of the Thames wherrymen.

The afternoon of Wednesday last was appointed
the contest between seven pair of oars for the new prilt.
wherry, which has been christened the Phernix. sh,is
the sixth boat which has been given by Mr. KEAN, anj
there was a numerous assemblage—as well on the river

provided by the worthy host at the Red-house, Scarlet,
Yellow, and Green contested for the second and last heat,
from the Red-house up to Lawn-cottage, down to Vaux-

came in as follows :—Scarlet first, Green second, and

assembled at the Red-house on this occasion : the match
finished at nine o'clock.

The late DUKE of QUEENSBERRY's ESTATE

THOMAS V. MONTGOMERY.

The Vice-Chancellor yesterday made an order, con-
firming a tenth Report, which pays off a further stint of ,C 33,000
and upwards, of claims made against the late Duke of Queens-
berry's estate in Scotland.

COLLECTANEA.
Early on Monday morning, as the Superb steam packet
was entering the lock of Cumberland Basin, one of the passengers
(Major Raven, 84th Regiment), in attempting to jump ashore, un-
fortunately slipped between the ves►el and the wall ; be sunk im-
mediately, and would have been drowned but for the promptitude
of Captain Finlayson, Commander of the Superb, who jumped
overboard, seised him by the hair of his head, and safely conveyed
him on board.—Rath Chronicle.

The day patrol and the night patrol were mustered
yesterday morning in a temporary building near the Exchequer, in
Old Palace-yard, and were inspected by Colonel Rowan and Mr.
Mayne. Mr. Stafford, the Superintendent of the night patrol,
was in attendance, and it is understood that the two patrol esta•
bUshments are to be united.

A letter has been received by the Police Magistrates
within the Metropolitan District, informing them of the appoint.
ment of Colonel Rowan and Mr. Mayne, and expressing Mr. Peel's
confidence that the new Commissioners would receive every in-
formation and assistance which it may be in the power of the Ma-
gistrates to afford to them.

Wednesday, the 15th instant, the family of the Rev.
Mr. Hopton, of Cawrn Froome, Herefordshire, was plunged in
the deepest affliction, hi consequence of the melancholy death of
his eldest son, a young gentleman distinguished for his talents, vir-
tue, and amiable disposition. It appears that he had accompanied
his silt n a visit to P. Jones, Esq. intending to join them on the
following day at the Archery Meeting held at Kinnesley. He re-
tired early to bed, and about the middle of the night rose in his
sleep and opened the chamber window, which was very low, and
stepping out of it, he fell on the pavement in front, where he was
found a corpse.—CAeltenkom Chronicle.
Gower-house, in the Stable-yard, intended as the resi-
dence of the late Duke of York, is now completed, and la fast
filling with splendid furniture, magnificent pictures, and costly
china ornaments. When the decorations are finished, it will
probably be the most magnificent mansion in the metropolis, Gres-
vesor House, Apaley House, and the house of Earl Dudley, in '
Park-lane not excepted.
Joseph Hume, Esq. ALP. has taken up his residence
in the neighbourhood of Reading.
At eleven o'clock yesterday morning the Lords of his
Majesty's Mo.t Honourable Privy Council assembled in the Privy
Council Chamber, Whitehall, to hear Appeals. Those present were,
Lord Wynford, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Right
Hon. Hugh Elliot. The case, es parse Roney e. Cooper, from the
Isle of Man, was disposed of by their Lordships. The remaining ap-
peals on their Lordships' list. viz. that of Sayer v. Whitfield, from
St. Vincent's, was entered into. Mr. Horne opened the case oe
the part of the appellant, and was followed by Mr. Garratt. The
latter gentleman having concluded his address at three o'clock.
Mr. Whitfield, who is himself one of the respondents, was heard
in reply. The cause is very complicated ; the appellants pin&
log no less than twelve distinct appeals, some of them adobe
from a former decree of the Lords of the Privy Council. One of
the main points at issue is, whether the plaintiffs had or bad not
received the amount of their claims on two valuable estates
in the island of St. Vincent during the time they remained in their
possession ? By one of the most recent decWons the balance to the
appellants is adjudged to be between thirteen and fourteen thousand
pounds, on payment of which possession was to be given to the
respondents. In answer to a question from Lord Wynford, as to
whether this sum had been tendered, Mr. Whitfield stated, that
the money would be paid as soon as the appellants had proved, by
vouchers, that such a balance was due to them. At four o'clock
the Court adjourned, the farther hearing of the case being post-
poned till some day next week.

ANECDOTE OF DR. PARR.—This worthy successor
of Dr. Johnson did not entertain his great prototype's contempt
for puns and punsters; on the contrary, he often cracked a joke of
that description himself, of which the following may be taken as a
specimen. As his tailor was one day taking measure for a coat,
Parr's countenance suddenly brightened, snd, with a smile of
benignity, he thus addressed the astonished knight of the shears:—
" Pray, Mr. —, can you tell ate in what particular you resemble
a certain esculent vegetable 7" After some desperate attempts the
undertaking was given up In despair. " Why, then," said the
pedagogue in triumph, " it is because you are a Parr's Nap
(parsnip).
The Court-martial on Captain Richard Dickinson, C.B.
Royal Navy, is ordered to be postponed.
Yesterday morning the body of a fine boy, the son of
Mr. Pownall, of Miks.lane, was taken out of the river near Swan-
stairs. The lad, aged about nine years and a half, was playing the
previous night with other boys on the barges near the stairs, and
RU overboard. Great exertions were made to save him, but with-
pit success, as he became embedded in the mud.

We regret to learn that the Earl of Egremont has been
seriously indisposed at his seat at Petwortb. His Lordship, how-
ever, is now better, and his arrival here fur the races may be daily
expected—Brighton Gazette.
