PoRTuGAL-IMPORTANT

Ii was stated exclusively IN the Federal Ia
zette several months ago, that the abolition OF
the Constitutional system in Portugal, was the
work of the Queen and her son, in direct OPP
position to the sentiments and wishes OF the
King, who felt really anxious to reign under
the direction of liberal principles. A conhr-
NATION of this NAV be discovered in the intel
Ggence inserted below from which it appears
that his majesty, now relieved from the arbi-
trary control of the ultras. who were headed
nv his wife and son, has resolved to extend to
she Portuguese people, advantages not to be en-
loved under an absolute King. The convoca-
11;oa of the auclent Cortes is one important
stem towards the establishment of a constitu-
tional and liberal government.

LEND me your paper, if you please
YES, sir, il you will return it soon, as
have not perused it."
Pleased or not pleased, perused or moi
perused, it must be lent, or must be
called a stingv fellow; we who pay for
the paper have no more good of it than
those who borrow For my part, hate
to deny neighbour the use of news
paper, it is so trlfiing an accommodation;
so trifiing, that | should think every
man of spirit, however poor in purse,
might contrive 10 take one paper at least,
for bis information, especially if he has
family of children.
Printers must live on something else
besides ink and paper; and while they
press for the people, they ought not to
be pressed by the people. | am sensi-
bic that printing establishment must be
an expensive and laborious undertaking,
without the aid of liberal subscription
list; but if every subscriber lends bis
paper TO six or eight borrowers, the
printer cannot have many good subscri-
bers on his list. For my part | take an
extra paper which Isend to poor re-
lation of mine 10 the country, and
think that great many Of uswho can az
ford to take one paper, can afford &c
take two; then we can have the satisfac-
ton of helping our printer, of lending :
paper to a poor neighbour, and then
sending il to distant relation, and BY
this means much useful information may
be dlfused at the expense of smoking
one or two cigars the less, per week, OF
of not filling our snuG boxes or wine
glasses so often.

Ihave long been in the habit Of films

some when | was obliged to lend, there
fore thought best to take an extra pa
per to accommodate my poor neighbours
BY the by, some Of my poof neighbours
are much better off than myself. ask
ed one of them, the other day, why he
dropped (or stopped taking) the paper
Because SAID he, that communi-
cation ran afoul of me. and | don't want
any more of his papers"
"Ah. and why do you want 10 read
mines'
Because, only want to see what they
have got in it to-day that takes us off,
very well, squire; then you like e
see squibs, but don't like TO pay for the
powder; now, squire, | consider a
newspaper as useful as livery stable oil
tavern is, to accommodate the public
and if we don't get the worth of our mo-
ney it is not the fault of our printer, the
hostler, or the tavern keeper. We are
as much indebted to them for our fare a,
they are TO US for our encouragement
and think newspaper very useful
public accommodation, as much as any
thing that comes between black and
white; and il our thick skulls cannot
comprehend the true meaning of every
paragraph or communication, without
stopping the paper, why, think It would
be cheaper for the printer not to enlist
such soldiers into his columns, unless he
has strong reinforcement of sensible
subscribers, who have independence and
courage enough with all heiringenuity,
to stand the shock Of newspaper bulletins
'Honi soft, qui nal y pense."
Subscribers have sometimes been re-
minded (says the New York Mirror Of
their small dues, and their payment ha,
yet been deferred; but we have now te
wonder at the oppisite extreme. A gen
tleman who owed us nothing, either il
money for value received, or gratitude
for past favours, declared that four dol.
lars was too little for the MIRROR, anc
insisted on our taking eight. We beg
ged and entreated. but he was immova-
BILE as Olympus-until we were com
PEELED to tell him, Since you will buckle
fortune on our back why, we must bear
il with patient shrug"-and so we did
The sincerity of our remark is not to be
doubted, when we declare such conduc'
! to be worthy of initiation. We would
be glad to receive some half dozen, Oh
more, such subscribers.
