THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL.

EXETER, Sm. se.
you will have been 4pptilied of the land:ng at Fal-
iiouth, on Satin& y, of the baiting Queen of Portugal,
end the eeremoll of it r interesting reception in that
pert with c• rpordte an,i /pinta' y honours. In the
acknowledgment ot these compliments, her Majesty
displayed than si r tee of sensibility which is cons, t-
ent widt her ten..er age, and endeavoured throughout
to express ht r-e.f ifr suitable terms, which sere inte-
pteted as oc: a;oa riluired by the Ma quis de Pal
myna, and the other distinguished personages of her
suite. I I app..arance and manner she is a very inter-
esting Ponces not by any means womanish (to use
the common, pi .sar) tnr her years, as has been said, but
of mild, and pia y I ul, and unaffected demeanour, though
necessarily, from her high station, unavoidably con.
strained to perform a toilsome task of etiquttte unsuited
to the natural habits of early I.le. After a short test
at the C..n,ul's house in Falmouth, she proceeded to
Truro, and from tience on Sunday to Exeter, where
her Majesty atriveti at the% New London Inn at half-
past nine o'clock at night. The 4th Regiment of Dra.
goon Guards had sent forward a troop on the road to
meet her Majesty, and formed a guard of honour the
whole night at the hotel: their band played favourite
airs during the evening,/while awaiting the Queen's ar-
rival; and the crowd, notwithstanding the interruption
of unfavourable weather, kept so congregated as to fill
the 'area in front tat the hotel until late at night.
At half past nine o'clock, when the young Queen's
approa:h was announced by an avant courier, the band
played in succeasi It our national airs of GOD save the
King. and tide Britannia—appropriate and welcome
sympathies t herald the- way of a young and unpro-
tected Sovereign to aB. itish Court. She alighted at
the London Inn amid loud cheers, and endeavoured, in
confu miry with the rough and homely wish of an
English croud, to make her obeisances in familiar at-
titudes at the window, but was evidently too much fa-
tigued by the journey to appear before the public. Her
first day's stage was not through the most picturesque
past of Coin.. all—a fatiguing journey for the ordinary
.traveller *hoe route it torms: how much more so,
then, fit this young sttaager. She appeared very tired,
but went through all the foams of a tumultuous **cep
lion with great affability.
It was originally intended that the young Queen
$ ould have proceeded from Falmouth to Plymouth, to
receive the homiNe of the expatriated Portuguese who
throng that port; and when this route was altered, it
was said the feelings of the illustrious stranger would
not endure the spectacle of so much misery as it is said
these foreigners present.' This, however, is not the case:

the it presentatives of Don Pedro in this country have
liberally administered ti the wants of the brave
band of pat; hits who have sought an asylum upon our
shores, and the young Queen has alluded to them in
terms of the warmest attachment. The reason why she
dries nut on this occasion visit Plymouth is one purely
of etiquette; it being thought snore proper, that as she
has landed in England to throw herself up in the gene-
sous protection of our Sovereign, she should diverse as
little as possible from the road to the capital, until she
has accomplished the object of her visit.
The young Queen will rest this day in Exeter, and
receive a deput tion from the Portuguese soldiers at
Plymouth. the chief members of which will be the
Generals Ptaarro and Xavier, who bravely led these
troops, attee their disaster its Oporto, and will to-morrow
set out either by the Bath or Salisbury road, and endea-
vour to reach Lund non Wednesday night. It is the
:whit of the clisaregnisfieJ foreigners who are the guar.
diairs of the young Queen on this jouruey. that as little
interruotion tii the sb .pe of formalities should impede
her route as is consistent with the expression of the
,puttlic feelings. Addresses ate, however. ready for
presentation to Vet Majesty in the principal towns
,through which she will have to pass, and either the
Brazilian or Portuguese Ambassadors answer in behalf
of the young Q .een.
MONDAY EVENING.—This has been an interesting and.
busy. day with the young Qu en of Portugal: she had
to receive the homage of the unfortunate—of brave men
who have abandoned their country to prove their fidelity
to oaths which have be:n so flagrantly violated, under
circumstances of such revolting perfidy, by the p 1 ghted
husband of this Royal Scion, and whose presence could
not tail to have affected her Majesty, even in her tender
years.
It is not a year since Don Miguel landed at Green-
wich, in the presence of several of the distinguished
personages who have lately received his Queen, who
heard the solemn pledges which be has since forsworn,
and witnessed the ruin of the most faithful servants of
their legitimate Sovereign. It was impossible to be-
hold the spect rcie which these persooages had thus day
to witness,
.without reeling great sympathy for their
fate, and wishing that the restoration of justice and
constitutional liberty should speedily efface the track of
hypocrisy and cruelty.
The young Queen was less fatigued by her journey
from Cornwall than might have been expected. She
rose early this morning, and gratified the public who
thronged the area in front of her hotel, with her fre-
quent appearance at the different windows, from which
she repeatedly bowed to the people.. She was much
amused with the bustle of the loading and setting off
of the snail and stage coaches, and the parting cheers
of their passengers. She was attired in a light blue silk
dress, fastened in front with large bows of the same
coloured riband. She wore a white lace cap, bound
by blue also. Her appearance bore some resemblance
to that of the late lamented Princess Charlotte when
of the same age. She has not the slightest tinge of a
' tropical complexion, and has the clearness of hue and
cheerfulness of manner which characterize English
children of her years. Her hair is beatifully fair, her
face pale, eyes light blue and very sparkling. She is
not tall for her age, but is straight and well f.rmed,
and apparently of an active and lively disposition; of
suety kind temper, her attendants say; and is, on the
wbole,in air and manner, what would be expected from
a healthy and well reared English child of the same
years. She is quite familiar with the children of her
suite, and has already acquired the affection of his Ma-
i jesty's attendants,. who were assigned float the King's
Household to assist in the cavalcade to London.
Towards Mid-day the drawing-room of the Hotel
was prepared for the reception of the address from the
Portuguese troops. The young Queen was placed at
the upper part of the room, with the Marchioness de
Palmedla on her right, and the Countess Itabayana be-
hind her. The remainder of the semicircle was com-
posed of Lord Canton and Sir William Freemantle, the
Marquis de Barbacena, who has charge of the Queen
from her father. the Marquis de Palmella, the Viscount
Itabayaua, the Chamberlain, 14. de Salsianhat, and the
Officers of their several suites.
The young Queen stood a little in advance of the
group, and as many children are quick in artificial parts,
' evinced some proficiency in the early intuition of Royal
ceremony—her carriage was quite erect,het bead thrown
a little back, her right foot in advance, and the posture

constrained one for a child at that age) and one of
some difficulty to insiittain as long as this young Queen
preserved it, without • some sicrifice of the simple and
,graceful air Of inta-sy.

of care-worn soldiers, and wore the lull uniform of their
respective cotes, all decorat, d (part.cularly General
PIZAT TO) with a number of foieign orders.
At 12 o'clock they were introduced into the presence
of their young Queen by the Marquis de Pitmen*, and
utter kneeling and kissing her Majesty's hand, they de-
livered the following address, which the Commandant
Xavier read with great emotion. At one time the young
Queen, struck with the impressive scene before her, ap-
peared to be for a moment particularly affected, and
eagerly turned to receive the support of the Marchioness
dePalmella's arm. She had possibly observed two of
the Brazilian Officers of her suite in tears, when the
brave Portuguese soldier, with a sigh, announced for
himself and comrades, that their lives were all that now
remained for them to devote for her service. The con-
fiscations of Don Miguel had left these soldiers nothing
but their swords; a::(1 that mind must be unmoved at
the vicissitudes of human fortune, which could placidly
behold these refugees from a traitor seeking the pro-
tection of that traitor's wife, hetself an infant, seeking
an asylum in England, and throwing herself for justice
at the foot of the B. itish throne.

The Address delivered by these Gentlemen to the
young Queen was of course in the Pottuguepe language,
and was in substance as follows:

" Your Majesty's Portuguese subjects, wbo, to preserve su-
stained the oath of allegiance which they have taken to your august
father, have been obliged to abandon their country, and to seek an
asylum in a foreign land, have seat us here this day to place at
your Majesty's feet their most profound homage, submission, and
respect.

If they see with grief that they have lost the first moment of
kissing your Majesty's band upon reaching the shore of this coum
try. they consoler themselves with the pleasing hope that your I
Majesty will deign to receive their assurances of unshaken loyalty
to your august person. proved indeed by the greatest and best
merited sacrifices.

" From the beginning of their monarchy,the Portuguese Princess
the august predecessors of your Majesty, laid the foundation of
their throne in the fidelity and love of their subjects. This fidelity,
this love. are safe, and in the hearts of those loyal subjects your
Majesty can with security confide, repose, and trust.
"At the feet of your Majesty we lay our hearts and our lives;
land we should deposit mote, if more bad been left to us.
" May it please your Majesty to receive from us this homage.
only worthy of being received on account of the purity with which
it is offered.
" And may Europe and the whole world witness, in this devotion
of the loyal subjects of your 'Majesty, the most decisive proof of our
love to the person of our Sovereign, and most sincere homage to
the legitimacy of your throne.

Your loyal subjects ki.s the royal hand of your. Majesty."
(Signed.)

M the conclusion of this address, the three Officers
again kissed the Queen's hand, when her Majesty in a
low tone of voice replied, also in Portuguese-i

I feel, Gentlemen, most sincerely for all your hardships. and
I thank you for these proofs of your fidelity. AU I can add, is,
that 1 hope in GOD our wrongs will soon cease."

The deputation then withdrew, and the young Queen
was soon after conducted to the Cathedral, where she
was received by the Bishop and resident Clergy, and
conducted through the principal pasts of this richly
finished Gothic edifice. She listened with great attention
to the explanations given of the antique embellishments,
and expressed herself much pleased at the desire ex-.
pressed to inform law of the chief objects of curiosity.
She went and returned in an open barouche, though the
weati.er was damp and lowering, and was loudly greeted
by Ore people, who pressed upon the carriage so get a.
close view of her person. •
The Queen% route does-not seem to be yet fixed with
certainty. Sire will leave Exeter for Bath to•morrow
morning, and reach the latter city late in the evening ;
but there is an idea that she will stop a few days in
Bath on her way to London, probably until the King
lies sufficiently recovered from his indisposition, toper-
mit his reception of this young and interesting Royal,
guest.

Early on Monday morning, before the family were I
up, the butler's pantry and the dining-room of Mr. '
Park-roscl, Regent's-park, were robbed of a
large quantity of silver "late.
The use of the apartments:in Somerset House, lately
occupied as the Lottery Offices, has just been given to
the Geological Soci:ty, whose maps, books, and'geolo-
gical collection, are now being conveyed thither.
Monday night the house of the Rev. Mf.WHILDALI,
Rector of Christ Church, Spitalfield, situate adjoining
the Church, was burglariously entered, and robbed of
cash and plate to a very considerable amount.
Mr. Kestamt appears this evening in the character of
*mkt, by special desire. Liberal offers have been
made, without effect, to this accomplished actor, to in-.
duce him to perform one night more, but his engage-
ments in London totally prohibit it. Mr. Kitmsta's
Jager on Wednesday night was enthusiastically re-
ceived, but we shalt return to this admirable piece of
acting in our usual theatrical article. Miss Stamisua
was most cordially welcomed on her return from the
provinces, where she has been reaping fame and profit.
—We regretted to observe, however, some traces of the
langour of recent indisposition in her peiformance, which
was less impassioned and powerful than usual—Ga-
ligasei's Messenger of Frida,y.
A circumstance occurred in the Theatre on Tuesday
evening, which cleated much alarm, but from which,
fortunately, no accident resulted. The house Was ex-
cessively crowded, and during the performance of the
afterpiece, a small portion of the ceiling fell from the
roof into the gallery. A cry was immediately spread
that the house was falling, and many individuals rushed
over the orchestra to the stage from the pit. A number
of persons in the gallery, with more coolness and pre-
sence of mind, succeeded in preventing any dangerous
rush from that quarter, and the manager came upon
the stage and entreated the audience to remain still, as
the alarm was groundless and would soon be over. It
was ascertained that a boy had got in by stealth from
the roof of an adjoining building, by one of the valida.
tors on the toot of the Theatre, and in passing along to
the apertuie which gives access from the gallery to the
fop of the house, had stepped upon the lath, andpressed
out the plaster..—pergh Courier.
