AMERICA AND Fst.tscr.—The most interesting fea-
ture to us of the late news from Europe is the excite-
ment produced in France. by the passing of an
act, imposing new tonnage duties on French
vessels. From the friendly feeling of this country
towards France. that Act was passed reluctantly and
will he cheerfully suspended. according• to the provi-
sions it contains. authorising that course which the
Government of France shall think tit to reciprocate
with us, the liberty aunr Commercial RegnlJtions.---
France will not disdain to be as wise as England. and

by a relaxation of the 4yitem. ara:l herself of the op-
portunity now offered to her.

In spite of all the tilthc load of calumny with
which the character ef the Qurrx has been charged
by her enemies. and in spito of all the efforts of n.i•
nisterial ageney to prejudice the public mind. and to
suppress the public voice, the interest excited in her
MAJeSTY•I behalf continues unabated, and Addresses
of sympathy and attachment to her are pouring in
from even• quarter. To what t.nse or causes can thls
popular feeling, so intense and so extensive. be ascrib-
ed ? That it is founded un a cons ietion of her honour
and integrity is ungnestionable. The people view the
whole proceedings as connected with the foul con-
spiracy which had previously attacked her life. They
regard them with abhorrence, as a combination Of
power and fllOlll4lDy directed by 1111VOnge ; and tlo.re-
gard them with indignation as directed against Ms in-
jured and defenceless woman. All that is noble
and generous in the breasts of Fngii•hmen are
raised on the occasion t but the enthusiasm is
• not a feeling of the moment it is cot netted with
principles of a permanent nature, and with circum-
stances that extend beyond the occasion that immedi-
ately excite it. The minds of the people are raised

It is not out of mere regard to the character of her 11. -
JUTT. which they unque,tionably think has bees most
basely traduced, that they take occasion to testify their

for the character of her tra.tscers. They assenale. and
tb.•y meet the more readily to express their feelings
for her sufferings, because they are denied the privilege
to meet and bewail their own ; and in giving vent to
their sentiments respecting the injuries she has per-
sonally experience 1, they mingle their tacit and subdued
complaints on account of the oppression of the nation
at large.

The interval occasioned by the adjonrnment of the
House of Lents, offered us an opportunity of observing
upon the affairs of the Continent; and, fur that pur-
pose, we were about to put our thoughts into some
tolerable order, when the intelligenee of the revolution
in Portugal burst upon us, and partially diverted our
attention from the centre of intended hostility towards
Naples. In a mere political point of tiew, the Por-
tuguese revolution speaks volumes. It has taken
place in the face of the thundering denunciations of
vengeance, the tritium film rod of the leading allied
powers ; and it sheers Low impotent !mist be the effects
of violence against the moral, yet overwhelming force
of principle. If the allied Sovereigns could pause,
eve, at this moment if they could retrace their steps,
and sheath the hostile sword which they have drawn
against the people of Naples. they would almost ren-
der themselves respected. Rut such is their infa-
tuation, and such the lust of ',over which has taken
possession of their soils, that no reasonable hope can
be entertaiued of the slighest spark of liberality ever
finding its way into their Royal and Imperial bosoms.
The revolution in Portugal, on the contrary, has no
doubt increased their wrath, and hastened their
hostile movements against the people of Naples. It
seems then, that all the horrors of lint are to be re.
rived, and that human blood is ardn to be shed in
