MARIA, while a dispensation from the Cortes would
be a valid sanction to her marriage with the Duke de
CHARTRICS, as was the case when Don PEDRO H. allowed
his daughter to marry the Duke of SAVOY. Such an
alliance flatters the natural ambition of the ORLBANS
family for a Throne, while it tranquillises all existing
jealousies which may prevail among the descendants
of Louis XIV. The alliance of CATHERINE of Bra.
glum with CUARLki U. saved the independence of
Portugal. Barbary, Tangiers, and a large dowry in
money, considering its value in those days, were be.
stowed by Portugal on England, in con equence of the
auxiliaries we sent there.

The cession of Portuguese territories in Africa, would
offer an easy and ample indemnity to France, fqr any
sacrifices she might mace in favour of Don Piono and
the legitimate Queen. Either the Cape de Verd Islands,
Angola, Mozambique, or its dependencies, may become
most important poste.tions in the hands of an enterpris.
ing nation. Notwithstanding their great natural re.
sources, they have remained stationary in the hands of
Portugal:—in those of France, they would not only add
to her power, but lead to the extension of civilization.
Such are the conjectures to which the success of the
proposed alliance, and indeed a conviction that the
French Cabinet is playing a deep game, give rise. On
the other hand,upon what principle can those who have
done their utmost to alienate both Portugal and Brazil
from a people v riom they had till lately regarded as
their natural protectors, complain of their throwing
themselves into the arms of France? There must surely
be a crurl fatality hanging over the foreign policy of
our country. The people of Greece with one accord
seek our alliance by repeated applications, and finally
offer us an unlimited Protectorate. We not only reject
all their overtures, but end by restricting their frontier,
and, as in a recent instance, committing an act ef
hostility by interdicting their blockades. What has
been our conduct to Portugal? We first urge Don
Plano to give a Constitution to his subjects—this fad
is wwleviald e r a charter is conveyed to Lisbon by a
British Ambassador in a British ship of war, and two
years do not elapse before the charter is trodden under
foot, and the throne usurped under the eye of a British
army! Our subsequent policy, in whatever point of
view it is considered, presents an unbroken series of
error and injustice, without any example in the history
of Europe.

By way of justifying the monstrous system pursued
towards the people of Portugal, Ministers now declare
that the treaties between the two countries do not bind
us in guaranteeing the Throne of that Kingdom to the
legitimate heir of the Bragansa Family. Having thus
assumed the right of interpretation, which belongs
equally to both the contracting parties, whenever
doubts arise as to the construction to be put on
them ; those who acknowledge the legitimacy of
Donna MARIA to the Throne, ate surely justified in
expecting that our Cabinet ought not to consider itself
bound to support the Usurper? Painful as it must be
to be constantly recurring to such a state of things, we
have a sacred duty to perform, and it is our determina-
tion not to relax in our efforts, until the whole
country is convinced that a longer perseverance in
this policy towards Portugal, cannot fail to be attended
with the most ruinous consequences, both as regards
out national character, and political influence in Europe.

The Dutch Mail this morning brought us the follow-
ing details of an attempted negoctation between the
Dutch Government Officers and the insurgent Javanese:

HAARLEM, JULY 3._

The Batavia Journals from Sth to Slst Feb. do not contain any
reports respecting the war with the Javanese insurgents; but
private accounts from Djocjocarta of Ist Feb. contain the following
important intelligence After the fortunate capture ache notorious
Kiai Modjo,with his sons, brothers, and a number of priests, the
Commissioner General thought of making use of this person, who
possesses so much influence, for the commencement of negociations,
in order to bring about a peace, which is so much desired. After
mature deliberation and many conferences between Kial Modjo
and one of the most confidential Officers, it was resolved
that the first, as the spiritual adviser of Diepo Negoro, should
write hint a letter to the effect that the Government of the
Netherlands was very far from desiring to oppress the Ma-
bometan faith, but rather disposed to protect it ; that the war in its
defence was an unlawful contest; and that the Kiel Modjo, as a
faithful Counsellor, exhorted him to make peace. Two cosfiden.
dal priests, accompanied by Captain Beeps, were sent with the
letter. Ali Criss, Commander of the insurgents, assured them, in
his master's name, that the latter sincerely wished for pews, and
desired to speak to Colonel Nahum Commissioner of the Nether-
lands, at Djocjecarta, for that purpose. The Colonel, upon this,
went with the advanced posts, on the Progo, intending to proceed
to the enemy's headquarters, without any distrust, as he had
always treated the natives well. Some circumstances, however,
exciting his suspicion, be resolved to remain on the east of the
Progo, and wrote to Ali Basso that be wished to see him on that
side of the river, and desired him to state how many attendants he
would bring with him, that he might not bring a greater number.
The enemy then threw off the mask—deferring, under idle pre-
texts, the interview with the Colonel, and unjustly arresting Capt.
Roeps, threatening to cut off his head, because our troops had
committed some hostillties,which were, however, necessary, became
the enemy, with armed bands Irons all quarters, assed through our
lines, and molested and plundered the faithful Wanders. A stra-
tagem, which was jusdfied by this treacherous conduct, saved Capt.
Roeps from a child death Without effecting our military operations.
Col. Nabeys wrote to Ali Basso that he would come to his camp the
neat day, if be, considering the respect due to a Commissioner.
would send two principal Chiefs to meet him with a written pro-
mise not to detain him above twelve hours. Ali Hasse was ready
to agree to this, but Diepo Negoro would not let the Captain go,—
so that the two Chiefs came alone to our outposts, when they were
immediately arrested, and told by the Colonel that he was going
to their camp; but that they were hostages, and be should leave
orders to have them put to death and quartered, if he should
be detained longer than twelve boors. In consequence of this
threat, one of the Deputies confessed that it was the haft.
don of All Basta to arrest the Colonel, in order to compel the Go-
vernment to agree to the exorbitant demands of the insurgents.—
One of the Deputies was required to write a letter. saying that the
Colonel would immediately come for him ; in consequence of which
that brave Officer was sent back the next day. Thus ended this
unpleasant affair. It must be observed that such perfidy is not
natural to the Javanese; and is, probably, a consequence of the
distressed situation in which they now are. After the failure of
this plan. Diepo Negoro showed himself disposed to answer Kiai
Modjo's letter; but the Colonel having signified to AU Bane that.
on account of the breaking of the armistice and the unjust deten-
tion of Captain Roepi, be was ordered not to negotiate with the
rebels; and that therefore the priests might be sent back. The latter
came to the camp the next day ; and, charged with a letter from
the Chief of the insurgents to Klai Medjo, proceeded is Batavia
