The Moititeur contains an article of some important.
to the QuESN. It is a communication from M. OA LLATIN
formerly a blinister of Wirtemburg. In this he state•
that the assertions of the a itness KRANTZ, fel/tilt.
to an interview with him at Carlsruhe, is fabricated
and false—that he don't know her, and never, indeed,
saw her---in short, that he %las not at Carlsruhe at tht

It was known several days since, that the Regency
of Portugal, finding they could not effectively resist
the united voice of the army and the people, had very
wisely determined to yield to it ; anti had accordingly
convoked the Cortes. The official document on this
subject has come to liana, and will be found in
another part of our paper. It is the most miser-
able fraud that ever was attempted to be practised
upon a people; and did we not know that its manufac-
turers are well practised in the art, we should almost
imagine that this paper had issned from a certain
nursery of young Statesmen', which, we understand,
was established at the late Congress, under the
immediate patronage of a Nobleman, who is in the
habit of telling his opponents, that they "stand pros-
trate." However, as the authors of this document
are old offenders, we suppose they were hurried, were
terrified at the late Revolution, were under the dread

of ►i ing called to a serious account of the past, and
had lust their usual powers of sophistry and obscurity ;
for the present document is perfectly dear and

ribk. that is to say, it can be easily seen through
sad we will shortly point out two of its leading, and
must übjeetioaable ingredients. It directs, that the

Conn shall be convoked, according to the ancient mode ;
ask it may be necessary to apprise such of our readen,
as are not acquainted with the ancient Portuguese
Uoverament, (for we choose to call it rather by that
mate than that of Constitution,) that the calling of,

THE

the Cortes, in the ancient mode, would give the power
of sending Members, to certain towns, privileged 111
Charter. Many of these towns ate now fallen into
decay ; and therefore, as far as regard those places,
the word " Representation" would be a mockery;
just, for instance, like that of our own rotten
Boroughs. The calling of the Codes in the
manner we have described, would also give the
power of sending members, to what is called the three
estates; and one of these estates is the Church, which
we know, has, all over Christendom, departed from the
tenets of primitive Christianity, and interfered very
largely and mischievously with temporal dominion.
The two instances ae have selected, will be sufficient
to give our readers a general idea of the nature and
object of this proclamation, which is worthy of its
must worthy authors. It is really surprising to ob-
serve, in the political wor:d, how much public men
are in general insensible to the difficulties, into which
they iovulve themselves, and how much they thereby
hasten their downfall. 11.isi the Regency of Portu-
gal, while sitting in Council to frame this proclama-
tion, called to their assistance a common mole-driver,
he could have shewo them the absurdity of attempting
to dupe the Constitutionals by such a paltry contrivance.
They will not be duped by it. Two very spirited
Proclamations have appeared : one from Marshal
Lacs:not, and the other from Colonel Sorcerers*,
which, although prior, in point of date, to the Re-
gency Proclamation, indicate pretty clearly, that the.
army will pay no attention whatever to any act of
the Regency ; sod that the only acknowledged
authority, for the present, will be the Provisional
Junta. Indeed, we believe this silly Proclamation was
the only act of the Regency which would hare had say
influence whatever on the public mind, but that in
fluence must be of a nature exactly opposite to that
which was wished. It must be precisely what the
Constitutionals desired : fur they cats now, with perfect
ease, convince the people tha: the tlovernment, having
ruled them with an iron hand ; haying robbed, plunder-1
ed, and oppressed them, have now endeavoured to de-
fraud them. In short, the acts of the Regency have had
about them all the essentials of political delinquency ;
and we have little doubt that this proclamation will be
the last set of their official existence.

la looking at the conduct of the men, who have
brought about these memorable events, we have fresh
occasion every day to repeat our remark, that it cannot
but be pleasing to all goo,' men to observe the wisdom,
he temper, and the benevolence which ha% character's:-
ed all the acts of the Constitutiunak our readers will
perceive in the two Consti utional Proclamations we

have mildewed, the affection u ith which their whore!
speak of their Roca ; and the distinction they make
between hint and the outrageous conduct of his Minis-
cers. Formerly, the term " Revolution" conveyed to
tor winds the idea of bloodshed, anarchy, and iudis•
•ritninate rubbery ; and wr almost turned our eves
away from the description. Now, we observe alit *the
!eneral complexion of Revolution is humanity, firm
.empota y government, and a scrupulous attention to
he rights of property. 'I he reason may be easily
c sileeted. Fortner Revolutions neer generally the at-
t mutat+ of sceptered monsters to enslave their people ;
w site those of the present day are the steady and wanly
•c•rtions of enlightened patriots, to tireuntscribe the
ps.vers, and yet preserve the advantages of Monarchy.
I therefore, we distinguish these events by the re-
ssective terms of "Monarchial" and" Constitutional"
sievolutions, we shall never be at a loss to ascertain
the character of each.

Cowes, Seri. 26.—His Majesty having signified
his intention of landing this morning, the beet pre-1
,rations the time would admit were made to give pro-
,er effect to the scene. At eleven o'clock were seen I
is the harbour and ruadsted the Royal squadron, and
he different vessels of the yacht-cinh, intermixed wills
►bout thirty row-boats, with their respective Nags on
heir prows, the whole forming two parallel lines from
he Royal tieorge to the shore. At twelve o'clock a
signal gun from one of the accompanying frigates an-
•tounced his Majesty's having quitted the ship for the
royal barge, and immediately a salute of twenty-oue
suns was given from each of the frigates, and front the
Castle, and many of the smaller vessels. As the barge
proceeded towards the shore, the boats followed in the
train, and on his Majesty's putting his foot on land,
ne was received with acclamations by the persons who
had waited his arrival. Ills Majesty, between Sir
Charles and Sir E. Paget, followed by a numerous
suite, walked slowly to the marine villa he had lately
purchased, and after el-omitting about twenty minutes,
then walked back again the same way to the barge,
and the like ceremony as before was observed in re:
conducting bim to the yacht. The squadron then weigh-
ed anchor, and departed the ruadsted on a short cruise.
Sr. GEOROR'S 1,1 rue EAST.—Tuviday, pursuant
to a requisition signed by several of the inhabitants,
a meeting of the parigbioners of St. Oeorge's in the
Kant was held in the Vestry-room of that church, in
order to consider of the propriety of presenting an
Address to her Majesty. Mr. Whitely, the senior
Chnrchwardes in the Chair. The several Resolutions
were proposed, and ably supported by Mr. Grey, Mr.
Sberrot, Mr. Powell, Mr. Pairhridgr, and Mr. Wilson;
and a deputation was appointed to wait upon her
Majesty to learn when she will be graciously pleased
to receive their Address : the deputation to :consist of
the Chairman, the Secretary, the stover of the Address,
and the Vestry-Clerk.
A short time ago we stated that it was in contem-
plation to engage East Clift Lodge, Kawasaki', for
the Queen. We are now informed that Mr. Alderman
Wood is in treaty for this residence for her Majesty.
A Courier went off on Tuesday night to make ar-
rangements respecting her Majesty's witnesses, a coo-
siderablt number of• whom may be upsets& to 'nitre
in a few days.
