Itioralag Register of Saturday.
The following is the account of an interview which a
deputation of the Underwriters at Lloyd's had with the
"Earl of ABERDEEN; Secretary for, Foreign Affairs, on
Saturday last. This deputation waited, by appointment,
on his Lordship at the Foreign Office, to request, as they
told him, the interference of the British Government
in behalf of Mr. WM. YoUNO, an English subject, and
formerly holding a commission in the army, but who
has resided, ever since the peace; in Portugal, and has
been employed as agent by a considerable number of
the London underwriters, in which capacity he has
been the instrument of detecting fraudulent claims on
marine insurances to a consider able amount. This
indivi'daal,ewill be recollected; was arrested and
conveyed from his house at Leiria to the prison at Lis•
bon, at the time 'when the Constitutionalist: first de-
clared thennielves at Oporto, and -at the date of the last
advises still continued in confinement. The deputation
stated the hardship df the case to his L•irdship, and gave
it as their opinion that 'Cie arrest and eetentioti of this
Gentleman had not' been occasioned by any political mo-
tive, but most probably was owing to malevolence to
some individuals whose fi:mdulent conduct he had
been the means of exposing while employed in the per-
formance of that duty with which heliad been intrusted.
The Noble Lord replied, that he hoped the Gentle-
men composing the deputation did not imagine that
his MaJEsry's Government had /Bowed the commis-
sion of so flagrant a bleach of the solemn treaties sub-
sisting between this 'country and Portugal as that
which had taken place in the case of Mr. YOUNG,
without instructing the British Consul to remonstrate
with the persons at present exercising the Government
of Portugal in the strongest terms. • This had already
been done more than once before the date of the last
dispatches from Lisbont and he was sorry to say with-
out effect up to that tithe;. but he calculated that in a
few days thereafter a communication would be received
from the Foreign-office which would have the desired
effect; both in the.case of Mr. YruNo and Sir JOHN M.
DOYLE, as he therein notified to the de facto Government
of Portugal, that if the proper steps were not imme-
diately taken in respect to the two individuals in ques-
tion, it must be prepared for consequences of the most
serious nature; as in a case like this, where the liberty
and rights of British subjects are invaded, his Majesty's
Government were determined that they would not be
trilled with. His Lordship added, that he had no doubt
but that this remonstrance would have the desired
effect, and that by this time Mr. YOUNG would be me-
leased. The deputation,after expressing their satisfactioi
with the steps which had been taken, withdrew.—Limes.
