His Excellency the Chevalier de BRITTO, Minister
from the King of TORTUGA L to the Court of the Ne-
therlands, has just sent a Circular Letter to all the Por-
tuguese Consuls in that kingdom, in which his Excel-
lency says, that the melancholy events that have taken
place in Portugal, oblige him, till the re-establishment
of good order, to cease delifkring and countersigning
passports for hat kingdom. He in consequence orders
the Consuls not to deliver, or countersign, any pass-
ports for Portugal till further orders. The Portuguese
Consulate at Itotterdain has just made the Public ac-
quainted with the same measures as that of Amster-
dam, relative to the passports and the signature of
official documents required for the navigation be-
tween the Netherlands and Portugal. Tile Consul as-1
signs, as the ground of this measure, the difficulties,
or ths dangers, to which Portuguese vessels, or those
of the Netherlands, or other foreign vessels designing
to go to the ports of Portugal, may be exposed, in
case those ports may be blockaded or closed, in con-
sequence of present circumstances. _ _

A numerous and respectable Meeting of the Inha-
bitants of Dover, was held at the Bull Inn Assembly
Room, on Friday evening last, to take into considera-
tion the propriety of raising subscriptions (riot exceed-
ing one shilling each person), for the purpose of as-
sisting in the purchase of a service of plate, to be
presented to her most gracious Majesty the QUEEN,
and of co-operating with the Committee in London,
as well as the Public at large, in evincing their re-
spectful homage to her MAJESTY, their unabated
sympathy on account of her past and present suffer-
ings, and .their increasing attachment to her Royal
Person. The object of the Meeting having been una-
nimously agreed to, it was determined to invite the
attendance of All persons on Fi iday next, at seven
o'clock in the evening, at the Inn, when further Re-
solutions will be proposed on the subjecti,

MEETING OF JOU I: NEI' ME .11 Pflurrdts.

A very numerous and respectable Meeting rf the
Journeymen Printers of the Metropolis writ; p:.:ce
last night at the Crown and Anclvir Tavern, to con-
sider of the propriety of presenting an Addre,s
the QUEEN, congratulating her MAJESTY on her
return to this country, and condoling with her undtr
the persecutions to which she is exposed.
The mover of the Address urged, in a neat speech,.
that a body of men who are so intimately cemiected
with that Lower lid engine to which her •:11ajesty ha:
candidly owned she is principally indebted for !ler
protection from the malice of her enemies—the
British Press—were sl'ecially called upon to chew
that, in a case like this, they were not as a body in-
strumental to an object in which, as individuals, they
did not head and heart concur.

The Address being seconded, was put to the vote,
and carried by acclamation.
It was then moved, and resolved, that the Address
should he printed on satin, and carried up to her
MAJrsTY• by a deputation, consisting of as many of
the trade as chose to join in the procession.
A proposal was made, that a noted political cha-
racter, who gained his first laurels at a case, should
be requested to accompany the procession; but it
being the general ieeling of the Meeting that they
should carefully avoid the least appearance of party
spirit, in a proceeding dictated by sentiments common
to every friend of justice and Liberty, the proposal
was withdrawn.

Some conversation ensued as to the costume and
style most fitting to be observed in carrying up the
Address. It was finally determined that each indi-
vidual of the deputation should wear a white favour
on his breast, and that coaches and pair only should
be employed in the Procession.
A deputation was then appointed to wait on her
MAJESTY, to know when she would be pleased to
receive the Address, and the Meeting, which was
conducted throughout with great order and pro-
priety, broke up.

A letter from Dover, dated September 21. (Sun-
day) says—" The QUEEN'S courier, Monsieur CA-
MERA, arrived here this morning from London, when
he hired a vessel, and sailed immediately for Calais.
The Chevalier VASSAL!, with four persons to give
evidence in defence of the QUEEN, arrived from Ca-
lais this morning, after a rough passage, and pm-
ceeded in haste to London."

A Huddersfield Correspondent writes as follows:
" The collection at the Methodist Chapel, on Sunday
last, after the three Services, amounted to £4..
The smallness of this sum, for the largest Chapel in
the world,' is owing solely to the Minister's neglect-
ing to pray for the Qf.TEEN. Great numbers went
with the view of contributing, but they took their
money home again, owing to this omission. This is
the fact ; you may make what use of it you pleas::
There was a Meeting yesterday of the Parishioners
of St. George, at Wapping, for the purpose of ad-
dressing the QUEEN. The various Resolutions were
carried with acclamation, and an Address founded on
them accordingly.
The person who filled the situation of cabin-joiner
on board the Leviathan, during the time the Princess
of WALES continued on board that ship, is now in
Dublin. his name is JOHN BYRNE he is in the
employment of Mr. SouritwELL, pianoforte-maker,
Marlborough-street. his " recollections" of the con-
duct of the PRINCESS during her stay on board do.
ship have been obtained from Mr. BYRNE. We sh.:il
give his Account in his own words :
"The situation of cabin-joiner gave me an opportunity of being
well acquainted with many of the transactions that occurred
her Royal Highness's cabin. It was part' of my duty to r;er
the cabin in which she slept at an early hour in the morning
raise the blinds, and also at night to lower them. At any of tit:lt,:
early hours that I so entered, I never saw M. BEROAIII ; but
subsequent parts of the mornings I have frequently seen 1)i:.1
there, engaged generally in writing for her Royal Highness.—
Her Royal Highness's demeanour towards all those persons
whose duty brought them near her person was Most
ing ; on several occasions she called me familiarly her son;
she did several others, when she required them to perform 27:*f
trifling service far her. I was the person who made the altera-
tions in the cabins, which she desired at her first corning on
board ; and I was the person who found and returned an ekgrlnt
seal belonging to her, which was lost in the cabin, which f!er
MAJESTY will not fail to recollect, should any circum,tanea re-
mind her of it. I have never seen or heard of the least misccu-
duct, or of any improper familiarity, attached to her lUaess.rw
during her stay in the Leviathan ; and I am willing to prove this,
and such other facts as I know to be true."—lriali Paper.

" Through the whole of the kingdom of Hanover, the public
attention is nearly as much ovcupied as in 1:n0w-A with the
proceedings against Quecn CAROLINE. She h.ts few partizars
