s not so large. And, therefore, Mr. linovuoaat
wishes oar government to interfere, and to use its
;njimenec with the allied power:. It has no iofletere.
!retire and Spain do not care a straw for it. France
sod Spin know well that it cannot hit a blow heavy
enough to knock a child down. And. as to that
/metier, of which Mr. BROUGHAM talks so much,
F •ell knows, that to pat a stop to the Slave
['rode was solelyfor oar benfjlt. We had destroyed
lie plantations of France, while our own were in the
highest perfection ; and all the treaties far abolishing
the slave-trade tended to keep down the French plan-
tation,, while ours were tourishing! The French
know all this very well : they knew it before: before
they could not set um at defiance: sow they can. The
simple roes•ion, if., will you go to war. Mr. Baoucuast,
to pot a stop to that foreign eleee•trude which is low-
ering the price of Jamaica blacks and Jamaica sugar?
If you be not prepared for war, it is quite as sensible
nut to let foreign nations see how mortified you are at
their prosperity and your distress. This slave-trade
abolition as to foreign nations was a deep scheme;
hut, like many other of the deep schemes of the
THING, it hasykikd.

Do the 19th of June Mr. Recounts ter is to submit a
proposition to the " House" respecting the increase of
the inftweisee of the Crown. (too bless the man's head ;
what can this be for.' What end can it answer? Is
Mr. IlsouGuast ignorant of the facts, which are " as
" notorious as the sea at noon•day"? It is not, Mr.
Ilnoutmast, the influence of the crow,., but the in-
fluence of ifiachelsea, Peterborough. Ingham Ferrer.,
Knaresboro ugh, dippleisy, Caine, and the like, that
has increased with the amount of the taxes and the
number of offices, pensions, and so forth. Let as get
rid of t/ais influence, and that of the crown will not be
a bit too much. There is not a single sane person in
this kingdom, who does not now see to the very bot-
tom of ibis whole matter ; and who is fool enough to
be gulled by any of those notions about the power of the
Crow/smith which the hunters after place used to delud-
the people. Does not even idiotssee, that the Crown has
no means bat what comes to it through notes oft he
(louse of Conamour ! It is there, then, that we have to
look, and not to the Crown, for that influence which Mr.
linoci.ttass is pleased to say he will make a motion
about. Peci.'s Bill is the only remedy. A motion
to protect that, if necessary, is the only thing to be
done in the way of patting down undue influence.

A Lisbon mail, bringing papers to the 19th nit.. ar-
rived on Saturday. A Sardinian vessel had arrived on
the 14th from Brazil, in 86 days, with ISO soldiers,
and 20 women, who had been compelled to quit Rio,
in consequence of the disturbance which took place in
February last between the native and the Portuguese
troops. Ti,. latter had embarked in six vessels, which
sailed in company to the Azores. On the 15th another
of these vessels arrived at Lisbon. The Portuguese
ship Estrella, in 58 drys from Pars, brought news
Ithat the greatest tranquillity and attachment to the
constitutional system prevail at Para ; and that the
new Provisional Junta took possession of the Govern-
ment on the 11th of :March.

—Th.t friends and admirers of the principles of rho
late Mr. Pitt (what his principles were, by the illy is
more than we know, seeing there is a wide dill/trice
between those professed by the defunct minister at one,
time and at another) held their anniversary dinner atl
the Exchange on Tuesday last. The persons who sat
down to table were about a hundred io number, sod
than, we should fancy, any where but in Manchester,
trqu:-: have been considered a very fair mutter. Here,
h. wever, we learn that a touch larger one was ez•
panted, the stewards having ordered dinner, anti gus-
raweed to the üblican who furnished it. payment fur
one hundred y guests. The cumber, therefore,
being fifty be heir expectations, and, we believe,
gaits. as much 'or hz that which attended the last
anniversary, is. mar perhaps, safely conclude trtat,
even in this town, within the last twelve months, Pitt
politics have depreciated in estimation thirty-three per
cent. The average throughout the kingdom we
should think would be more. We have not heard ant
particulars of the good things which were eitherllrid
or eaten on the occasion ; but we cannot help th nk.
ing the orators must have been much puzzled what
topics to choose, when expatiating on Mr. Pitt's merits.
We shall, however, in due time. know all that the ma-

FETE Al' THE OPERA 1101'SE.

(/lOM THE 3101ININO citnoNteLe.)

We understand that his Majesty notified to thr
Doke of Devonshire (ihe Manager at the Fete at the
Open•house for the Relief of the Irish), that a hos,
must be .et apart for the Royal Family, and th a he.
the Doke of Devonshire. most inform the Duke and
Duchess of Gloncester, the P.incess So?hia of Ohm.
nester, and the Duke of Sussex, that there was no
place for them in it. This notification, which was cal-
culeted to wound deeply the feelinrs of the Royal
Personages in question. prevented them, of course
from bring present at the Fete.

It would seem that the species of persecution which
was put in practice against the late Queen, and the
Doke of Sussex, was only the commencement of a
system which is to be permanently adhered to —The
Doke de Grammont was commanded last year not to
invite the Duke of Sussex to his 8411.—50 then ex-
clusion is now to be the order of the day.—Tbe %i bole
weight of Court influence is to be directed against all
those in high life, who may be so unfortunate as to in-
cur at any time the Royal displeasure.
The dread of this sort of excommunication will no
doubt have its effect. To incur the Royal displeasure
may be considered as something equivalent to losing
'caste. That a system of persecution of this descrip-
Jim) is not ceculated to exhibit Royalty in the most
favourable aspect, is obvious enough. But it is, in
fact, as impolitic, viewed with reference to Royalty it-
self, as it is indefensible in other respects. It tends to
weaken the influence of the great, by exhibiting them
as held in a state of degrudin, subjection and subser-
viency. It tends to shake the power of those by whom
Royalty is supported.

The old French Court used to banish noblemen to
their country seats. Our Court cannot go so far as
this ; but it seems determined to go as far as it can.

Yesterday the Duke of York paid a visit to his Ma-
jesty.

The Lori Chancellor and the Dslce of Dorset had
audiences of the King yesterday,

Their Royal Hignessea the Prince and Princess of
Denmark will leave town to-morrow, on a •isit to his
Majesty at the Royal Cottage, in Windsor Great Park,
where they wi!l remain during the races.
On Saturday the Lords of the Privy Council assem-
bled at the Cockpit, Whitehall. The Lord President,
the Lord Chancellor, Sir John Nichol!, the Judge of
the Arches' Court, the Master of the Rolls, and
Viscount Melville attended ; also the Attorney-Gene-
ral. The question under discussion was the right of
choosing magistrates for the town and council of
Inverness.

The two Princesses, Consorts of the infants DOR
Carlos and Don Francis Paulo, brothers to the King
of Spain, were delivered of two Princes, on the 13th
and 1511 of last month, at Aranjues.

the prise of Corn could rise while Pea'. Bill was in

National Bankruptcy. That as it was impossible for
any man on taking a farm to have contemplated the
effect which Peel's Bill would have on property. every
tenant in the kingdom ought to be released by the.
Court of Chancery fr.,m the obligations of his lease.
They might rely on it nothing else could save the
whims from inevitable ruin. Mr. Cohbet was uncom-
too* well received by his brother countrymen.—

Duniis, MAT 51.— MR. GnEconry—is is with the
deepest, the most unaffected concern we have to state,
that Mr. Secretary Gregory met with a seri.ms
acci-
deatyesterday, in his ride to town. The horse on
which Mr. Gregory was riding to the Castle, from his
residence in the Piiceaix Park„ithrew him shortly after
be had mounted, by which lamentable occurrence his
cellar bone was fractured, and he otherwise received
injury. It is very consoling, however, to announce,
that Mr. Gregory has had a quiet night, and tbat his
surgical attendants indulge strong hopes of their dis-
tinguished patient being able to resume his official la-
boors in some few days.—(Patriot.)
Itsvisw ON HOUNSLOW !IRAS 11.—On Saturday the
let and 2d' regiments of Life Guards, the Royal Horse
Boards, the 15th mid 10th Hussars, and the 1-Lh
Light Dragooos, were reviewed on Hounslow Heath
by their Royal itglinesses the Dukes of York and
Gloucester, the Prince of Denmark, and the Prince
Esterhary. Contrary to genre.) expectation, his Ma-
jesty
did not appear on the '4...uuncl, hpinpfprevented,
it is said, by a severe ante.. of the gout. The ground I
was covered with carriages containint the first nobi-
lity, and with horsemen equai in mit: her to the ca-
valry reviewed; and the corp wts highly ani-
mated and pleasing-. The troops went through the
various evolutions in the most admirable style, and
the scene was one of the most gratifying of the kind,
beheld for some years. The review terminated shortly
after three o'clock, and their Royal Highnesses pro-
ceeded with their rtspeetive staffs to Windsor Cottage.
Nu very serious accident occurred, although much
confusion prevailed.

On Mon.lay last the rlpr!etor of the Examiner was
