The Right Hon. the Earl of MOUNT EDOCI:3I BE ar-
rived last week at his beaudfel seat at Mount Falicembe.
METROPOLITAN PoLtcr..—Mr. PEEL has appointed
Mr. Mamma Dowtassi, of Chelsea, Secretary to the Commis-
dossers, and Chief Clerk of the New Police Force. Mr. Dowuiw
is actively employed every day at the Home Office.
We are glad to find that the order in Council relative
to the promotion of Clerks in the Navy has beep most justly re-
scinded, and that in future they may be promoted to Pursers, pro-
vided the Number be not increased to more than ten in any one
year.

It is, we understand, quite true, that a theatre, larger
than either Covent-garden or Drury-lane, Is to be erected at the
top of Gray's Inn-lane, for the representation of the legitimate
Drama. Whether the projectors will obtain a license. is another
question.—Brigiston Cadge.
Mr. CA DIS II , lately chosen Member for the Uni-
versity of Cambridge, was married last night, by special license, to
his fair relation Lady &anus }lowest'. The ceremony took
place about nine o'clock, at Devonshire House, and the young cau-
stic, about an hour afterwards, kft town for the Duke's residence
at Cbersekk. The company present did not exceed 32 persons,
and consisted of the relations of the parties.
The Report of the Corn Average, no published yester-
day, gave the six weeks' average for Wheat as 87s. ld. which
leaves the duty at ills. ad. per quarter. The duty on Foreign Bar.
ley has however declined, the six weeks' average bebg 32a. and the
duty now 13s. 10d. a fall of is. ed. per quarter from our last re-
ubliport. 'The duty as all ether Foreign Grain remains as we last
pshed.
We have conversed with a gentleman who has been
resident at St. Petersburgh for many years, and has
within a few days arrived in London ; he asserts that' the
Russian population, and particularly the nobility, begin
to be heartily sick of the war.
By the most recent advice. from Colombia, we find
that the Peruvians had not yet surrendered Guysquil.

THE PORTUGUESE QUESTION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
LETTER 111.
Sui,—A few observations more, and I shall conclude :
leaving the question without fear to the judgment of the
world.

The acts of internal interference by the British Govern-
ment in the affairs of Portugal are innumerable, and I
shall only point out a few. In 1808, when the British
fleet, after the battle of Vimeira, entered the Tagus, it
was by a proclamation of the British General that
notwithstanding the existence of a Portuguese armed
force in the field, and the loyal insurrection of almost all
the population of the kingdom—it was, I say, by the
order of a British General, that the Members of a
Regency were appointed in Lisbon different from those
which the Sovereign had appointed before his departure
for the Brazils. In 1814, when the peace with. France
was signed at Paris, it was the English Plenipotentiary--
unauthorised by the King of PORTUGAL, and notwith-
standing the protest of a Portuguese Plenipotentiary—
who signed the treaty of peace in the name of Portugal,
restoring a conquered colony to France. Those two ex-
amples will be enough, I believe, to establish quite suffi-
cient precedents of intervention not founded upon trea-
ties, nor demanded by Portugal, but entirely spontaneous:
and it will certainly seem hard to the Portuguese people,
if the right of interpreting these treaties should be left
arbitrarily to England, placing them in a condition far
worse than that of colonial subjects, who, at least, are
entitled always to protection : while the protectorate of
Portugal seems only to be exerted capriciously by Eng-
land, and claimed or disclaimed according to what may
suit her interests, at the moment—alternating just as the

views of those who lead her councils happen to vary upon
any political system !
It is not so, Mr. Editor, that we Portuguese under-
' stand of the long existing treaties between the two
Crowns. We think them mutually bound by reciprocal
obligations : and amongst these we reckon that of afford-
ing help to the legitimate Sovereign when it is officially
claimed, and for a good and just cause. The documents
presented by your Ministers to both Houses of Parlia-
ment, almost in the last day of this Session, and espe-
cially the answer contained in Lord ABIRDIEN'S note
to that of the Marquis of BARBACIEN A—the arguments
of which seem to have convinced you—might, and pro-
bably have been, replied to by other strong arguments,
of which Parliament has not yet been put in possession,
and which could, perhaps, have altered your opinion upon
the subject.

Moreover, the protocols of the conferences held at
Vienna are by themselves complete proofs that England
was a contracting party in those diplomatic acts, On
which was founded the establishment of Don MlGuL's
Regency in the name of his brother ; and that, even if
for the sake of argument we would grant what is not
true—viz. that the British Plenipotentiary signed those
protocols not as a contracting party, but only as a willing
witness —it could not be even in that case denied, that
by departing from those engagements Don MIGUEL has
offered a most intolerable insult to the Sovereign of
ENG LAN D, an insult which a great Power seems bound
in honour to resent.

The same objections can be applied, and with still
greater force, to all the fragments of official correspon-
dence from the British Ambassadors, which—notwith-
;standing they were presented in so incomplete a shape—
contain more than sufficient internal evidence to
demonstrate the contrary of what they were meant to
prove, viz. the absence of a direct and active interference,
during the course of all the negociations which preceded
the return of Don Mic u ex. to Lisbon.
The only set of the documents which has been offered
entire to Parliament, viz. the correspondence upon the
subject of the departure of the Portuguese emigrants to
Terceira, has been judged by the public at large, with
very few exceptions, as the most conclusive proof of the
charge which had been brought on that account against
the Ministers, of having violated at once, on that occa-
sion, the laws of nations, and the existing treaties with
the Sovereign of Portugal.
And what could not be said on the facility with which
the principle of blockades is modified, according to the
Power blockading? When we see Greece at the present
monnkut prohibited from blockading any part of the
Turkisli dominions, which is not included in the conces-
sions to that new State by the supreme will of foreign
governments ; and compare it with the alacrity with
which the blockade of Terceira—declared by the Usurper

of the Portuguese crown, regarded as such by England
has been acknowledged by your government many
months before it was effectually established ! I will no
longer trespass upon your indulgence, Mr. Editor, but
to make one remark in conclusion. It is this: that in
the opinion of all the Portuguese loyalists, and probably
also in that of the British Nation, if the attempt which
the Miguelites are now making upon Terceira succeed--
which GOD forbid—the Ministers of Great Britain will
be responsible for that disastrous event : and they will
be stigmatised for-such a policy—l fear they in
the eyes of the whole world, whatever have been the
motives which have prompted them to their share in the
business.
