iirilCiintati passed a tranquil day yesterday ; god.
41117111 c lEapiesklrft Brighton in the evening, was, we
rejoice to state, much beam

All iccbunts from abroad, as well as atltheproceed-
ings of our Goiernment at home, triumpbantlf bear
us out in the opinion we have never ceased to express'
on the subject of the differences between Spain and
Portugal, and the effects of our armed interposhiun'
in behalf of the Jitter. In this opinion, until,very
recently, we- sta alone, and had not only 'to sup-
port it against-tile conflicting statements of the rest
of the press, but against the incredulity of at least
seven•eighths of the public. Now, however, .is-this fa-
vanish question ii.set to rest, and we trust jar iver, by
the concessions made•by the Spanish Goveratteot, and
as the constitutional flag floats with** a rival from
one end of Lusitania to the other,. we may fa* cars•
gratnlate ourselves that our conficknckin the unabated
influence eadimdiminished resources of the country has

not been disappointed. We were ar well'Uquainted is
any Of ouroontensPorari!i,lwith the'real feelingi of the
Spanish Cabinet on the ,iubjees i 10... whilst we were

aware of. their hostile tendency, never imssgined
kir an instant that it was of that blind, inveterate and
reckless character, which would pursue its end "amt.
ever might be the consequences. We were also per-
fectly well apprised of the sentiments of a very powerful
party in the French Court, with respect to the Consti.
tutional system in Posing'', and never had the slightest'
doubt of their disposition to avow them openly, pro-
vided they saw a favourable opportunity. But the prompt,
minty, and energetic manner in which the British Cabi-,
net came forward in support of its Ally, so completely
overawed the partisans of absolute power io France, that
they have never since ventured to make the leest stir in
behalf of their favourite principle. Ourcontemporarids
insisted on the contrary;th at the Spanish Monarch would
equally despise the remonstrances and slemonstristions
of Great Britain.; that he would continue, in despite of

them, to foment the troubletin Portugal, and that the
arrival of the British expodttion in that ecumtry would
have no other effect es that Ureteral but to induce
to substitute open for underhand hostility. With the
same pertinacity they maintained, that the French Coon
Would espouse the quarrel, as 4t p,ricipated io the
.feelings of that of Madrid,s.ipg thM :there would be
noether alternative for Englond, bat to disavow ihr
indiscreet language of her Minister, and remessute her
steps, or to contend again, upon the forniirthiatte'—of
her renown, for victory, political supremacy, and per.
hart her vital interests, with the combined forces of
Spaiaend France. They never would allow that si.e
had any choice beyond these alternativek, and very
considerirely exhorted his Majesty's Government to
take tlif safer, though the mote inglorious course, and
not suffer honour and the faith of Treaties to weigh
for an instant against the formidable risks and eno.
mOus expenseasf 'an open rupture. At the same time,
therezhausted ridicule and invective, in speaking of
the Portuguese nation, and uniformly asserted, that
such was its aversion to our Alliance, and such its pte...,
dilection for arbitrary rule, that it would leave ns iq
the lurch, should we be wad enough to involve oat.
"civet in 'a quartet with, a neighbouring Power on
account of so priest-ridden a people. All these Con.
oat
dent 'assurances have turned it to be mere kink
and their authors are convicted of gross ignorance,
or studied 'misrepresentation, 'for. their Paint. In at.tempting todepreciate the resources of their country,
and extol those Of a foreign State, they have merely
betrayed their own want of discrimination and public
spirit; whilst by exerting themselves, with peculiar
.rancour, to bring the cause of goad Governaeot
in Portugal into discredit, they have shewn that their
oven pretensioni to liberality are rank hypocrisy, spa
assumed forth. worste the karst mad most insidions par.
poses. In the Meantime daiikause of liberty and mon*
indef cadence has trietriphtid in Portugal, its spite twth of
"her domestic and foriiitil•amensies; and to thaw haw
complete that triuniis is, we have only to advert to
our Naval Estimates for the present fear in which
there is not the slightest augmentatios.
The only novel or at least interesting feature which
the proceedings in the House of :Commons presented
last night, was the reply, elicited from Mr. Secretary
Pao, on the subject of the Corn Laws. To a
question put by kiir, EDWAID YNArcissuu. as
the course Which Ministers meant to pursue, be
answered by staring that it was their intention to
submit a' series of Iterolutions to the House, and
to.allow as Mitch lime for their doe Cootie' ation as may
be deemed necessary, before ihey anacomsnitted. No
informetiom; respecting their exact purport was given ;
and the omission perheps wes-anemential, seeing that
due time would be allowed for their consideration
previous to their formal discussion.
