The pith of the intrigue now carrying on in the Court of Lisbon is, whether Portugal shall belong to France or England, for it seems generally admitted that to one or other of these great powers she must for protection attach herself.

Now mark the cunning sophistry of this corrupt special pleader this tool of an expiring faction. He singles out Belfast, observe, as having adopted this petition for inquiry he does not tell you that the two petitions referred to have one and the same bearing nor docs he add that any other body of men, whose feelings towards the Catholics are the theme of their warm, est approbation, and who have received a public vote of thanks from the Association, for their generous efforts in their behalf, have been the promoters of a petition precisely similar in its prayer to the one adopted by the inhabitants of Belfast? No he docs not tell you this, but proceeds at once to draw inferences suited to his own base purposes. We shall quote to our readers, the prayer of the petition referred to. It is the petition of the Protestant Nobility, Gentry, of Dublin, and is inserted in The Irishman of the 4th and runs thus "We, the undersigned Nobility, Gentry, Bankers, Merchants, and Traders of Dublin, being Protes" tants, humbly, but earnestly entreat that your Honourable House will be pleased to investigate in your wisdom, the nature, and the operation of the disqualifying laws, which affect our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, with'a view ascertain Now here is the petition of the Protestants of the City of Dublin, signed by such men as the Duke of Lcinster, Lord Cloncurry, Earls of Meath, and Char-lemont, by many' who are Members of the Catholic Association, putting forward exactly the sa prayer as the one contained in the Belfast Pe-; tion, and for which as we have already stated, so fur Wm.

The petition, he continues, is prudently and cautiously worded," and, after copying it, thus proceeds On the other hand, a petition directly opposed to Emancipation has been already signed by considerably more than 1,600 Protestants, whose voices at a town meeting, in which the principle of universal suffrage seems to be acted upon, would have had a most powerful effect."

Does he not know that to the mercantile portion of our and those moving in the same sphere of life, the signing of the petition was confined? that it was only exposed in our Ncws-Roonis, or when removed by those who interested themselves in its management only offered for signature to such individuals And the honourable record of their names shall not be lost. We this day continue the publication of the list, which will explain better than any assertions, the character and importance of the petition. Will Mr. Stuart do the same by his 1,600 Protestants? We challenge him to do so nay, we assert that the sixteenth part of his list, that even the names of one hundred of his subscribers would not bo known by the decent portion of bur inhabitants, as of persons belonging to, or connected with, the town. Yet in the face of all these undeniable facts we have enumerated, Mr.

Stuart hesitates not to express himself in such language as we have quoted. Was he could he be ignorant, of what we have here stated Ho tells us he was sick, forsooth was the proprietor of his paper also sick was the faction to which he has for so many years pandered, sick too were they all sick aye, sick they.are indeed sick at heart at the splendid instance of true liberality and genuine patriotic feeling which our Protestant and Dissenting fellow-townsmen have displayed by the late petition.

Hume, fur I.iiernool. clears to tion, petitioned, not for emancipation but inquiry.

To what aw we to. attribute so marked a change? Clearly to the misconduct of the Roman Catholic Association, and similar causes" Having laid before our readers the greater portion of this notable docuntent, wo shall now proceed to the exposure of its impudent and bareliiccd sophistry and first, we shall apply ourselves to the Orange petition and its 1,600 signatures, and state a fe facts, which we think will be sufficiently lccisive of its; character: On Tuesday, the 22d ult. tliepetition' was introduced into the News-Room of the Commercial Buildings we. saw it shortly after it had been brought in, und it then had (we think) exactly jif'y signaturesattaclied.to.it; while we were person who had introduced it (he was nut a member of the room) came in lie was asked who had sent the petition, and he replied that he was desired to leave it by the Deputy Grand Master, (Asheuhurst, we believe, was the name); and he then, in the presence of the gentlemen who were in the News-Room, began to attach to the petition lying on the table some sheets of parohnient cut and dry heady signed for the occasion. This was looked upon by those present as rather a novel mode of preparing a petition for the Imperial House." One gentleman only appeared to take an interest in the business, whom we have since observed angling for a little newspaper, notoriety, iu the columns of our coteinporurics.

On examining the signatures, no one present could recognize the names of more than four or six individuals who were known. But one respectable inhabitant had signed it, (Mr. G. Bristow) and his name stood out in great prominency the head of the first column. On inquiring the cause of his solitary station, we were informed that thatxolumn was for the gentlemen it was the gentlemen's column but even this kind consideration on the part of the Deputy Grand" seemed to be without its effect, for up to the latest sojourn of the petition in the Commercial Buildings, the "gentlemen's column" exhibited the same lone jnd dreary aspect, und the name of Mr.

Geo. Bristow, unlike the gentleman himself, had to rest contented with its state of" single blessedness." The petition remained in the News-Room for two or three days, and although there are 430 members belong, ing to the room, not one individual added his name to the list. To the Linen Hall News-Room there belongs nearly 100 members, and of these no one added his signature. The Nelsor. Club is composed of about 200 members, and ofthese alsn none but the gentleman we have already referred to honoured the Deputy Grand Master's petition with his name Where, then, wo should be glad to know, did Mr.

Stuart End his 1,600 Protestants?" How'many of them does he think were of the rank and degree of Harcourt Lees Ashenhiirst, the child of nine mantlis old alluded to in our Inst, and whose name is affixed to the petition Did he hear nothing of any stray sheets from the County of Armagh Or of the adventures of the Deputy Grand" and his nssistunts, through the pot houses and Orange Lodges of the suburbs? Fic, fie on't, M3ter Stuart, age should have taught you that in such a cause the better part of valour was discretion."

It appears that they were taken by surprise, and view the matter in a serious light, as. if the Americans really entertained a design of-the occupation of the island of Cuba, from which a piracy lias so long infested the West India seas.

The American trade has suffered to an enormous extent by Spanish robbers, and the Americans have applied year after year in the most pressing and energetic terms to the Government of Spain, to put a stop to the evil committed by her sulijects but to no purpose. The King of Spain lias-mat the inclination, and still less the power tr enforce a single act of justice in this that maybe now called the remains of his American dominions. The Governors and even petty Authorities in the most insignificant village in Cuba stand no more in awe of King Ferdinand than of the King of the Sandwich Islands.

This news has no other foundation than the imagination of the Journalist." Intelligence from Constantinople of the 4th of January, states, that the landing of the Egyptiaa troops at Modon in the Morea is not confirmed.
