Liberty of person and security of property are guaranteed. No person to be persecuted or molested on account of his religion. A new civil and criminal code to be drawn up.

The king has the moderating power, in nominating peers, convoking the cortes extraordinary, sanctioning their decrees, proroguing or adjourning the cortes, or

dissolving the deputies when the safety of

the country requires it, convoking another chamber ; nominating or dismissing ministers of state, &c. As chief of the executive, he names bishops, magistrates c most civil arid political officers ; commanders by. land and sea, ambassadors, and agents, Sec. directs negotiations, makes treaties, declares war and peace ; accepts or refuses the decrees of the pope, &c. He must swear to the constitution. The judicial power is independent, and composed of judges and juries for the civil and criminal laws. The king is author

ised to suspend a judge in certain cases,

but Only on complaint preferred tnrough the proper channel, which seems designed only as a check on them for good behaviour. With the preceding principles, and those that are naturally attached to them. It is possible that the Portuguese will become possessed of as large a portion of the rights of human nature as they are, at present, able to understand k preserve.

ved from the manufacturing districts con

tinue to have a very prejudicial eflect on the public funds, & although the extreme

depression since our last has not exceed

ed i per cent, still the market has worn a

most gloomy appearance. An opinion

appears to be daily gaining ground, that

ministers must speedily adopt some mea

sures for the relief of the numerous hands

out of employ in the various parts of the

country and in order to effect this desira

ble object, an increase of the issues of

the Bank of England has been pretty gen

erally spoken of. It is to be hoped that

the establishment of the Branch Banks

will in some degree alleviate the distress

for money so severely felt in Manchester,

Liverpool, and other places. The commercial affliction of the conn

try continues unabated. The scribes in

the pay of the Trinidad planters have

been lately drawing comparisons to prove

that the negroes arc better ofV than our

peasantry and manufacturers. I hey have

published in a Trinidad paper the follow

ing picture of the free white population

of tins country, which we blush to say is

nut overcharged

u It is an appalling picture of human

nmcrv, confessed by the masters them

selves, and published to the world in the

journals they pay and support: thou

sands of wretched beings without the

means of subsistence in every fiart of the

kingdom wtmen and helpless children unfed, unhoused, in that rclentlesss dim

ate 3000 wandering about in the ?netrcficts, under the eyes of the Legislature in Leeds the laborers literally starving in Macclesfield in extremis ! in Glasgo dying from firemature exhaustion and o-ver-cxertion and in Bolton gracious Heaven i feeding with the hogs on btewers grains if coveting a tnorsel cf horseJlesh as a luxury ! Well may these unhappy wretches envy the state of our African laborers. All that can be said in reply to this terrible truth is, that the manufacturers arc not subject to the branding-iron and the cart-whip. We must confess, however, that no scourge of pestilence, war, or famine, was ever at any period of the world more terrible than the scourge which is now decimating a tenth of the English industrious population. We talk with horror of the scourge of Gothic or Scythian

poet, evef conceived the idea of myriads

dying fitecemcal for long months with

their children. The miserable people,

meanwhile, are as silent as Count Ugoliho, and the silence becomes their despair.

i neir case is ueyona words ; besides,

they cannot eat bayonet! Manufacturing Distress. There never, was such an appalling arid awful, aspect before us. If things continue many months as they are at present, there must be a rebellion before Christmas. 1773 Sc 1792, are nothing iri comparison with 182$, when the extent of commerce, and the increase of population arc taken into consideration. A cramped circulation, & the destruction of credit and confidence, which it will take years to restore, have paralyzed every department of commerce, and brought the country to a state of misery and despair. In the north, the merchants are losing by every engagement ; in their own defence they are obliged to turn off all their hands. The manufacturers do not get the price of the raw material for their manu

factured goods, and are obliged to turn off

their hands. There is no employment for the laboring classes ; and young men, of

good sober habits, and moral principles, are willing to do any thing, however slavish, to gain a couple of shillings a week. Every prudent man is reducing his establishment, and curtailing his expenses ; Sc many of the most respectable members of society are anxious'y thinking how they are to gain a miserable pittance. Low woollen goods for the N. American market sold last week at Huddervillc 10 to 20 per cent, lower than they have been known for the last sixty years ! In fact, no words can paint the distresses of Lancashire Sc West Hiding of Yorkshire. The correspondent of a daily paper says, ; the loss of credit in a mercantile country is an evi! of such magnitude as -ears can

not repair. Why not touch on the corn , laws. The best wheat is now selling at j Hamburg, and very late purchases made at 20s. ! The aristocracy do not feel our sufferings they are at pi escnt basking in fortune's lap. Their turn, however, will soon come, and with redoubled force, and they will feel whatitistoannihitate.commerce. There must be an eventful crisis ' ere lou -the poor-rates are increasing tenfold a perfect stagnation in every de- . partmcnt of commerce, and luinous sac- : rifices made by every merchant, rod s'ill no employment of any kind for the laboring classes." The poor-rate in Bolton is advanced to 5 s. in the 1. The collectors state, it is next to impossible to get in the old rate, and how they will proceed with this addition may be easily guessed. The tale will be grcviously lelt by such as pay heavy rents. We can state on the very best authority, that a manufacturer in the silk and worsted trade, not far from the Mctropo lis, who has hitherto kept upwards of 5000 hands, has given intimation to Ministers, that he can no longer continue his business w ithout certain ruin, and that he will be obliged to discharge the whole as soon as they have finished the work in hand. Every branch of business appears to be

rapidly declining, or in a state of inactiv

to the ctorm ; met. 7ho hafe passed thro' J a long life, with honor to themselves, and solid advantage to their country, are obliged to yield to the heavy pressure of the times. Names to-dav and yesterday are

mentioned which command every man's sympathy and respect. We trust the report exaggerates, c that men who should be happy and comfortable whejj-erlmosta-bout to retire from the transitory scenes of this world, will not be visited with the calamities to which so many have already fallen victims.

some weeks past. Government are at length convinced by the representations from northern manufactories, and from their own observations, .that subscriptions are quite inadequate for relief" A Bolton paper states, that five mills suspended operations at the end of last week, in that town alone, by which 2000 workmen were added to the multitudes out of employment. Bound up together, as the interests of the masters and workmen are, it is impossible toalford any relief to the latter without improving the condition of the former. Where tens and hundreds of thousands of workmen arc out of employ, private charity must fail to afford adequate relief. It may, indeed, by showing to the poor that the highest classes sympathise in their distresses, serve to excite kindness among the different ranks; but without more extensive relief, this feeling will be insufficient to prevent the tumult which great distress produces.
