We insert two Proclamations of the Governor of
Madeira, one addressed to the inhabitants of the island,
and the other to his companions in arms, in support of
the rights of Don Pedro against the nit', per of his
Throne. They are dated the 2'sd ult. and correspond
in feeling with the professions and declarations which
were then making a. Oporto.
" PROCLAMATION.
ig Inhabitants of the Island of Madeira! Noble par-
tion of the Portuguese Family I—While unhappy Poi-
tugal. has been a prey to all tho eins of anarcbr; and in
a most violent agitation, I haveflineastiained you in un-
disturbed peace and traoquillity.sh4s complying with a,
sZcred duty. But the Gist, the most essential duty, is
fidelity to the legitimate King. •
" Madeirans I It is already notorious that a bloody
and ambitious faction, by which a young Noce. tee,
Infant Don Miguel, is beset, has seduced and inveigled
him to the length of usurping the crown of his own
brother, the legitimate King. By thelaw of nature,
and by the law of the country, the Lusitanian crown be-
longs to the eldest son of our Monarchs. T:te eldest is,
Don Pedro IV.—the other S )veieigns have acko9w•
edged him As the legitimate King of Portugal; V.e'
Portuguese swore allegiance to hint ; and an &hoc was,
raised to them in the 'stein of every one of them, when,
moved by his high wisdom and magnanimity,. he de-
creed the Constitutional Chatter which we swore to 1
maint tin and to observe, and which, for ever secured
our happiness and freedom.
Madeirans! I profess honesty:'
.Appointed to go-
vern you in the name of our august Monarch, Don
Pedro IV.; I cannot acknowledge another Sovereign
without being branded fur a traitor; and nay sword, so
often drawn in the defence of the legitimate King, shall
not be laid down until I lose my life for so just a cause,
preserving my honour unsullied.
" Inhabitants tf the island of Madeira! Follow my
noble example. Know your own resources and parti-
icier position. Two hundred leagues of the great,
ocean divide us from Portugal. Fear not to be com•
pelled to turn perjurors and traitors. Stationed on these,
high rocks, and by means of the measures which I have
taken beforehand, we shill defeat whatever attempts
may be made. Treachery canon mister forces capa-
ble of subduing us ; nor will any Portuguese presume
to face a soldier of the great Pedro IV. My head alone
would answer for all, if adVerie tate should make us
succumb, and perfidy triumph. I take the whole re-
sponsibility upon myself; but mind, that thin sacrifice
on my part requires the fullest reciprocity Irom you;
and this is to consist in unlimited obedience.
" Honest Madeirans I there is no virtue but I expect
from you; if, however, any degenerate Portuguese
amongst as should defile himself with treason, or be
wanting in that obedience which is so necessary in our
heroic under taking, I swear by my honour that he shall,
in a military way, and without loss of time, atone with
his life for so black a crime.

"To arms, Madeirans I Let the heroic resolution of
the army in Portugal prove an incentive to us. Lit us
defend our legitimate King, our country. and our liber-
ties. 'Confide. in your General; and in the other depose-
tariei of the anthoritf.*

66 Madeiran Soldiers ! Comrades! Your particular
situation has prevented you from displaying valour in
the field & but, in Portuguese breasts, io breasts such as
yours, the seat of honour and loyalty, of which have
superabundant proofs, courage unavoidably exists.
" Soldiers! An opportunity now offers. Our
ate King. Don Pedro IV. treacherously and basely de-
prived of the'crown of Portugal, which belongs to him
by right, by the loyally of his subjectsond by the general
consent of the other states, requires from us the per..
formance of our sacred duties. Let us keep for the'
treat Pedro IV. this beautifurisland, this beautiful
gem Of the LuAtanian crown Let Let us remember our
oaths. Let us defend the country from usurpation.—
Let us assert the-liberties generously granted to us by
our legitimate Sovereign. Let us conquer for his glory
and our own, or let us die under his banners.
"Comrades I I always fought for the legitimate King,
for the country, and fir freedom ; and niy exertions
did not prove unavailing. Victory will continue Faith-
ful to now Oat We are going to strive for the same
sacred objects. This noble resolution has already been
adopted by the gallant army in Portugal.
Soldiers ache 2d Regiment of Artillery ! Pursue
the honourable line of conduct yoo have constantly
observed in this province, which looks upon you as true
brethren. Our interests are the same ; let us entertain.
no fear. The world will commend our heroic under.
taking. Fidelity is the path to glory. Comrades!
Obey your officers, and confiJe in your General, who'
will know how to a, preciat• and reward your virtues.

The foregoing prod f mations are taken from a printed
paper which has reached the garrison. On the othef
hand, the Lisbon Gazelle of the 27th ult. brings a letter
born Angra (he c.pital of Tercera,iine of the Azore),
dated the 29th ..f May, which stile !hat the moment
it was unclerssood in that city that Don Miguel had been,,
proclaimed Kiis by the people in the mother country,
the inhabitants called upon the Town Council to
convene the Three E taies, f,r the purpose of deciding
whether he should likewise be proclaimed it. Angia;
but that before the proposition could be taken into con•
sideratroff, thousands of individuals began to proclaim
him, so that those who had assembled in the Titwo-pall
had no other course to *sue than to consider the thins,
as d lie, And to draw up a'stlitement of what had
cursed, which the rountcipal officers and the people
together coined. to the General in-command, who to
'tasted it 111 a most gracious manner.

POLICE OF THE METROMILIS.
Continued from our Paper of Yesterday.
AGENCY OP POLICE OFFICERS.

With respect to the agency oI police I.f cers in these
transacti•,ns, the evidence befote pour CoMmittee is
confined to those of the City and 'of Bow -itteet. No
others have, it is believed, been engaged in the riego-
ciations about the property of hankers; and though
general imputations upon other offices have been thrown
out by-some who acknolledged theirown delinquency,
your Committee have no proof 'of such transactions,
and wish their remarks to be understood ac limited to
the two sets of officers above snenti. ned. In Sir Richard
Birnie's esausinationr before the Police ComMittee of •
-1822, the following statements occur:
" Are you aware at all of a practice which is supposed to take
place, of persons who are robbed cosh•ng to terra with the robber
through the medium of the oficers?-1 have heard if such a thing,
but I Dever could bring it tame."
" From the manner M which the nieces are regulated, and the
means the Magian:atm have of obtaining information as to the con-
duct of their olliceri, that species of crime to which the last ques-
tion relates, could not be committed to any great tlttllt without
your detecting it ?—I think it impossible; the Magisnates must
Menthe means of detecting it."
In his ezatninatiiiit before this Co uniittee, Sir R. Bit=
nie has again stated as foll•'w.:

" Do you conceive that the character of the police officers is
lamb bettey.now than it used to be, prior to the year 1822 ; that
they are eta ►etter description of men ?—I think they are.
" From that circumstance you consider th.t they ire not con.
earned now, as you have reason to believe that they were in for.
mei years, in negotiating between thieves anti persona Who bt
been robbed of their property ?—I do certainly say. that I never
knew au instance where I had ant thing like posjtive reason to
suspect they were concerned in any thing of the kind since the
year 1821. the year in which Sir Richard began to take charge
of the office.] Previous to the years 1821 or 1822," he states. •
" I had been told that tome of the old offinirs had been Concerned
is it--sonteof the old stagers that beleged to the office." During
,the latter years the attention of Magistrates must have been often
called to it by general rumours and detailed statements in the
Newspapers. Sir Rickard admits Gime to hive had suspicions •
formerly, and that subsequent inquiries have been made, as, when
questioned, whetter in the late casts of parcels being stolen from
coaches being restored, he bad been able to trace any connection
between the police officers and the parties who had lost their pr 0-
perty ? Ile replied, " Certaioly not; and I will venture to say
that in one particular case, where it was roundly asserted • that it
was dem through the medium of a police officer,' I have reason to
believe that it is untrue." Mr. Halls also avers: " I had my ma-
picieos, but I had no knowledge of it ; and so far from having any
►nowledge of it, I had given my Mind, if possible, to ascertain the
means of acquiring a knowledge of it."
An inquiry also was instituted by the Home Office
during the last year, into a compromise, in which an
officer was rumoured to have been concerned, without
Any discovery being made, though every officer in the
establishment w-s sworn And examined. This ii!norance
ccsuld not therefore arise from attention not baying
been called to the subject. Your Committechaving
discovered, that through those years compromises have
repeatedly taken place by the intervention of police
.fficers, and a regular system to facilitate them has been
gradually maturing, conceive it is at least incumbent
upon Government to exact a more vigilant and intelli-
gent supeointendence.generally, and mote active in-
quiries wheneler suspicion shall arise.
Your Committee thnik it right to state, that, how.
ever' readily the officers of Bow-street and the City
Police
.have undertaken the neguciation of these com-
promises, they frequently seem to hbre been induced to
it without a corrupt or dishonest motive; and indi-
viduals of them have been satisfied with a much lest
sum for- effecting Ase aammornisec than the reward
effered f yi: the apprehension of the guilty parties. Su.-

' =:

.

pit-ion has arisen. in one case. that 8001. more was re-
ceived by the officer who negociated than the thieves
asked or received,; and in another 501. was paid to pro-
cure restitution of 5001. and neithet the 500/. nor the 501.
were ever restored. In no case, hotever, does it appear
that. any'one,of them stipulated for at reward before-
hand ; nor connived at the escape of a thief ; nor in
fact tier negociated a compromise, when he possessed
any likely clue that might tend to the detection of the
guilty. Your Committee have belote adverted to the
ignorance in which the Magistrates appear to have been
kept as to these practices by their officers. It should
seem, from the evidence of Sir Richard Birnie, that they
only. supposed a very small number of compromises
to have taken place, and those through the medium
of attornies. Looking, however, to the regular sys-
tem and undisturbed security with which the offi-
cers acted, it would not be strange if they should
have conceived that the Magistrates did not dis-
approve; and entertaining the same opinion as Sir
Richard Birnie, " that the Magistrates must have means
of detecting them," should have thought them disin-.
dined to interfere, unless some unlucky publicity forced
these practices Upon their notice. It has been distinctly
asserted to your Committee by officers, that they had
the sanction of higher persons of their establishment for
engaging in such negotiations. This, however, has
been as distinctly contradicted ; but that a belief in the
connivance of the Magistrates has existed, is corrobo-
rated by the evidence of an officer long retired from
Bow-street, and on whom no such charge has been fixed.
He has shad, " If the men who have been before this,
Committee had been cautioned bi the Magistrates not
to interfere in any such thing, I am convinced that part
of these men would never have interfered; they have,
thought they were doing a good thing for the party
losing the property. and that no notice wculd be taken
of it." Sir Robert Baker 'alto. when asked concerning
such compromises, would you have considered, if it
hid come to your knowledge, that it was a crime r
answers, " not merely the recovery of the goods ; if they
connived at the escape of the parties, I should say it
was a crime, not otherwise." This, it should be re-
marked, refers to a period previous to 1821, from
which year Sir Richard Birnie more particularly dates
his disbelief of sucb transactions. Your Committee
think the abolition of the system for the future of much
greater importance than the punishment of former of-
fenders, who may; as often repeated in the evidence,
have considered themselves as undertaking nothing cri-
minal,* and many of whom may without doubt be use-
fully retained in their situations. Therefore, without
intending to limit discretion with respect to individual
cases, your Corninittee do not consider that the mere
circumstance of a police officer having negociated a
compromise necessarily dictates his dismissal.
Your Committee deem it advisable that some cono
sidration and revision of the law relating to this subject
should be undertaken. They cannot state the history of
the statute 4 Geo. I. c. 11. better than in the words of
Mr. Justice Blackstone:—" An eighth offence is that of
taking a reward under pretence of helping the owner
to.his stolen goods. This was a contrivance carried to
a great length of villainy in the beginning of the resge
of Gen I.—the confederates of the felons thus disposing
of stolen goods at a cheap rite, to the owners thence'
selves, and thereby stifling all fin Vier inquiry. They
famous Jonathan Wild had under him a well-discipliuedi
corps of 'thieves who brought in all their spoils to him,
and he kept a sort of public office fur restoring them to,
the owners at half price; to orevent Which audacious
practice, to the ruin and in defiance of public justice, it
was enacted by statute 4 Geo. 1. c. 11, that whoever
shall take a. reward under the pretence of helping any
one to stolen goods, shall suffer as the felon who stole
them, unless he causes such principal felon to be appre-
hended and brought to trial, and gives evidence against
' him. Wild, still cootineiag in his old practice, was
upon this statute at last convicted and executed."
This statute was repealed, and its provisions re-enact-
ed lad Session. by scat.? and 8 Geo. IV. c. 29. 5.58;
but which mates the offence no longer capital, and li-,
mita the highest punishment to transportation for life.
The statute 6 Geo. I. c. 23- s• 9 (which is still nano
pealed), enacts a reward of 401. to the person prosecut-
ing any such offenders to conviction. It is to be ob-
served, that whilst these severe penalties against such
COM protnises have been provided, the offence of comps*.
mising felony, or theftbote (as termed by older lave wet-
ters), to perfect which there must be an actual agreement
not to prosecute, and connivance at the impunity of the
felon, has continued, and still remains a misdeineanout
at common law, punishable only by fine and imprisoool
tent. Lord Coke, indeed, lays down. that if the owner
• of stolen goods, in addition to the offence of theftbote,l
" receive the thief himself, and aid and maintain him
in his felony; then is he accessary to the felony," vitt.
of robbing himself- It. seems that for many years tbp
statute 4-Geo. I. cap. 11, has been very ineffectual,
perhaps arising merely from the difficulty of detecting
such offences. to which Sir R.. flirnie seems to iinputet
it: as he says, " I believe there is law enough against
compounding a telonyf but the great thing is to get a
discovery." The severity of the punishment under stet.
if Geo. 1. c. 1 1. may have discouraged prosecutions; or
the decisions, thist money or batik notes were not within
the meaning of such Acts, may have afforded the offi•
cers a pretence for considering theenielves as cosnmit•
tine no ciinie in most of the late compromises. This
later omission has -been rectified by the Act of last
Session, the provinces •of which have, it is hoped,
had a beneficial effect. on various offeiedeis. One of-.
cer has stated, that his brethren had agreed " to give
up all transactions of the sort; as they thought some
vnischtef would come, of it under Mr. Peel's Act."
' But it does not appear that this agreement took place
'Ol alter the inquiry before alluded to had been insti-
tuted by order of the Home Office. Another witness
says, with respect to the" Fences," " I know that these
• persons, since the passing of Mr. Peel's Bill, are more
timid of receiving property than they were beine."--
Io is earaordinary that the police officers, with the
revere Act of Geo. L in ezi.tence, should, as it were,
have considered themselves as committing no crime;
and your Ceehmittee ii.fers some deficiency in the law,
which the statute of last Session may not have coma
pletrly remedied. Your Committee, therefore, submit,
as well worthy of consideration, whether it would not
be advisable to make it at least a misdemeanour in the
party paying a reward for the restitution of stolen goods,
as well as punishing the party receiving it. This has,
been recommended by an intelligent witness, well kp,
quainted with such parties and the nature of such trans-'
actions. The advertising a reward for stolengoods,
" no questions asked," was by Statute 25 Geo. U. C.,
36, surjected to a penalty of 501. which provision was'
re-rnacted by Mr. Peers Bill of last Session, befurecited.'
Your Committee, therefore. see no injustice in making
the payment of that reward a substantive offence, tho'
published offer of which has so long been subject to a
penalty. Your Committee, moreover, submit, that the'
due gradation of crime would be better regarded, by
offirong to the offel.cn of compounding felony a higher
puntahnsent than that of merely paying or taking It ft-

The Fretich Papers of Saturday, which arrived Past
night, gimes no further intelligence from the seat of
war in the East, nor any additional details respecting
the character or eacent of the reported disturbances
'in Spain. They continue, however, to speak of an
expedition to the Morea as of a certainty. The Journal
des Delsats reduces its numbers from 17 to 19,000 men;
and observes, in reference to this expedition, that
" France cannot be indifferent to the creation of an in-
dependent State in BuropeanTut key, which may one day
embrace the last countries bounded by the Danube, the
Black Sea, and the seas of Greece. The Ottoman Em-
pire seems on the point of falling to pieces. Its dismem-
berment forthe benefit of some ambitious Powers would
destroy the balance of relative forces—would menace
the independence of Europe, and give birth to wars
which would terminate by an oppressive supremacy ac-
quired for the profit of one of the belligerents. All
eyes are fixed On the march of the Russians. People ask
if, after having passed the Balkan, they will move on
Constantinople; if they will establish themselves on
the Bosphorus, or rather on beth banks a condi-
tion necessary to the becoming master of this passage?
—The Cabinet of Petersburgh will no longer have a
pretext for the 'deliverance cf those of its religion in
Greece. Its complaints against the Ottoman Empire
may easily be redressed 4y a Treaty. The plans

of CATHRRINH tan alone now explain the con•
tinuition of efforts, which are not without datr
ger either for Russia or Europe. The lagging,
of Russia is measered ; her an swers to the demands.
of Moldavia and Wallachia are framed in tha
intention of tranquillizing Europe. But the army of
Persia has passed the Ararath, has entered Turkish
Armenia, and operates at Trebizonde its junction with
the troops which have conquered Anaps, which, in set-
ling out .for the Phasus, follow the Eastern shores of
the Blatt Sea. The Emperor NICHOLAS, master of
Ismail, has passed the Danube, is taking possession of
Varna, and moves on Schumla. The squadron of
Sebastopol is an intet:Mediste army, which connects the
movements of the army of Asia with those of the army
of Europe; the Russian Imperial Guard arrives by
forced marches, to serve as a reserve ; and the grand
junction of the Emperor NICHOLAS and General PAS-
iczwrrot is to take place at Byzantium. Such a display
of force, such skilful combinations, the audacity of this
enterprise, can have but one object—the overthrow of
the Empire founded by ORCAN."

According to the accounts at Lloyd's this morning,
seven Russian men-of-war have passed the Downs, for
the westward.

Letters have been received this morning from Barce-
lona, of the 18th July : they do not make mention of an
insurrection there, but state that all was quiet.

Mauritius Papers have been received to the 30th of
March at the North and South-American Coffee House :
they are destitute of information.

The German and Prussian Papers received this aim-
ing possess very little interest. It is stated from
Smyrna, that the answer of the French Ambassador to
the invitation of the Reis Effendi to returrito Constan-
tinople, had arrived there. It is to the effect, that it is
impossible he or his colleagues can return t•O the Treaty
of the 6th of July is fully recognised by the Porte.
