Nothiri a ‘ears to havetrans iretl respect-

mg the intentions of the French governiiieu:
government-for_supporting Portugal. Thr-
Frenchcabinet held long sessions daily, and
the stocks had fallen .rbout3,per cent.‘ The
Etoile 1 published the v'vho'_l'e details, and Mr.
Canning’s speech, without one word of coin-
tnent.-_-_.-'-‘—-Tli'e letter_'s' frotn Havre state that
no excitenietit had been prodticed there by
the intelligence from England, as it was be-
lieved the proceedings of the British govern-
ment were adopted with the knowledge and
sanction ofthe French cabinet. The Havre
market was not affected by the news. _
On the other hand,i,t is stated,ot- iutiinatetl,
in the ilournal du Commerce, that great dis-
sensions exist in the Freiicb cabin"et—i-that the
party attached to the Jesuitg pi the most pow-
erful and will not coiiicide in the pacific de-
signs-ofthe Minister, Mr. Villele-—an‘tl that
war will certainly ensue.
The same paper states, that 92000 stand of
:1rms for the Royalists who ltaveetitered Por-
tugal, were furnished from the French gim-
sons in Pampeluna, and with the knowledge
ofthe French Ambassador at Madrid.
There‘ are no‘ later advices from Portugal
than were received from England. The pa-
pers contain the particulars. of the capitula-
tiou of Braganza to the Royalists, who act in
the tiaine of Don Miguel-
Don Miguel is said to have issued a decla-
ration, disavowing explicity the proclamattoti
entered Portugal. .
At Bayonne, Dec. 9, there was much ex-
citement in the market in consequence of a
report that Portugalhad declared war against
Spain. .
The Iudicateur of Bordeaux of the 10th
inst. says—-“The news which arrived here
yesterday from Bayonne by letters dated the
7th, appears little in accord with what has
been published from Zamora and the frontiers
of Portugal. It is said that Sylveira has been
completely defea'ed ; that half his men per-
isl_ied,,iu the only action in which he engaged;
thaethe rest fled in disorder, and that Sylvei-
rahiniselffled, without its being known what
had become of hiui

Stratford Gunning had obtained satisfaction
oh the Porté for the insult offered to his
guards—and- it was said he was expecting
soon to conclude, successfully, the negotiaton
respectingGreece.—Executions were still go-
ing on at Constantinople.
Extract ofa letterdated Naples,.N0v. 29:
——“ The Austrians are preparing for the e-
vacuation of this beautiful but ill, used coun-
try; at least every thing indicates that they
are really to-go from us, though it is at the
same time probable they will remain in the
Roman States as an army of observation. It
is reported here that his Holiness wishes to
have 6000 of them to enable him to maintain
the faith.
-.~..-ncainmodores Porter and Laborde.-—The
squadron. of Porter, [t\lexican,} is stated to
consist-of one frigate. one sloop of war, two
brigs, and one schooner, tnanued chiefly by
Americans and -English. With this force
Com. Porter setit a message to the Spanish
Commodore Laborde, at Havana, to come
and meet him off Cape Antonio.- The chal
lenge reached Havana,and Laborde put his
fleet in preparation, and sailed, consisting of
the Loyalty, a frigate ofthe largestclass, the
Arethusa frigate and Hercules brig, all crowd-
ed with motley crews from the prison and
cells ofthe Moro Castle, Sac. It isconjectured
that he will first steer to windward, to fall in
with the (‘astilia frigtte and two brigs, that
had sailed a few days before to look after Pri
vateers. Should the Spanish force meet with
Porter’s fleet,a bloody naval battle may be
looked for. There was at Havana, ‘ at the
time the fleet sailed, a 74 without masts, and
three frigates,in a disabled state. The above
intelligence comes from an oflicer of t_lie frig--
ate Constellation, which vessel is at Havana
-to protect the American interest.
A letter from the same ofa later date,states
that the Castilia frigate arrived the day after
Laborde sailed, and was at anchor in port.-
The general impression is--Porter will lead
him a dance; that he has gone of? Porto Rico
first, from Cape Antonio, there to do all the
miscliiefhe can ; compel Labordc to follotv
him, and then bend his course down this di-
rection. However, allis conjecture.
The N. Y. Legislature has done but little
since our last. lo the House, Mr. M’Clure,
from the committee on so much of the Gov.’s
message as relates to the proposed road from
Hudson River to Lake Erie,reported in favor
of the measure. The expense. including a
branch to commence at Portland,Cliautauque
co. and. run thro’ Bath, to some potnt on "or
near. the Delaware River, is estimated at
$350,000.; and the distance, including the sd.
branch of 76 miles, 449 miles. The subject
has been debated at considerable length, but
not decided. , = - _
Messrs. Yates and M. lotire, have petition.
ed against the bill relative to Lotteries.
Mr.» M’Clure has brought in a biil, to
provide additional ways and means to defray
the expense ofsupporting town and county
poor,'and for other purposes. [Levies a tax
not to"exceed 820, nor be less than 89, on all
bachelors between the ages of 50 and 45; and
-. A statement of the number of convicts par-
. ficiently “ disinterested and philanthropic” to

TUESDAY. JANUARY. so. 1327.
We recommend our friend of-tlie Register
to get his“ Attt‘-rney” to write a standing ar-
ticle in relagion to our hutnble self, and get it
stereotyped. ’ It need only to contain the words
-- big guns,” “ powerful shots,” “ the Gazette
man,” or his “ Editor, or Attorney,” with the
necessary filling up, and he_will have a par-
agraph fit for every occasion and all circum-
stances. This will be'a_saving'nrit only of
brams, rype, and labour, but doaway the pre-
sent necessity.oftuniblingover old files for _a
witty expressioti. _ , .
By the bye, we must congratulate him on
his improvement in Saturday’s paper,,of his
paragraph oflast spring. Theraddition ofthe
word “ Attorney,” however, is something that
we ‘do not understand. - Is not the editor suf-.
give us more light 53
Ofthe proceedirigs of the political'meet'ing -
at Weston last week we have obtained but lit-
tl_e information. It is said that M r. Faiichild
was nominated for Congress, and Mr. Wild-
utan, and Gen. Foot, of_ Bridgeport, for the
State Senate. As far as we can learn, not art
individual from this town, or west of us, was
present. And iftliis is.not an indication of
the voice of the people, we.knotv not what. to
consider as strcli, and we recommend this fact
to thelcandid consideration of the editors of
the Register and Hartford Times, and of
all others who think that the people are anx-
ious that the state shculd be districted. It
certainly seems to us that if such were the
fact there vi ould be less apathy on the subject.
lit a government like ours, whenever the a-
doption of any principle liecotttes necessary
or desirabl'e,we do not expect to find the people
asleep. Always alive to their own interests.
anti to the best good _ofthe whole, they are
ready to act'decisivel_V upon every plan which
promises benefit, or even appears calculated
to avert evil, and so long as they continue in-
telligent and honest we may look for the same
conduct. But how is it in the present case ?
As we have often remarked, the majority feel
little or no interest in the question, and they
cannot be made to believe that there is need
of such a pressing of the matter, as thotigli
the very cause of liberty depended upoti its
immediate adoption. ‘ r ..
Thebenefit of the proposed change is more
a creature of the imagination than of sober
rea.lity.. Tbatit will give the counties a more
equal representation is not pretended, ‘as it
t-‘aunot be ; for the towns themselves are not
rriore equally represented in the‘ Assembly
than are the Counties, or Districts, in Con
stress or the State Senate. The strictest def-
erence is paid to the wishes and claims of
each, and it) this respect all are satisfied.-
Where then is the difficuly ? In this simply,
thatthe people are called tipon to vote for
men ofwlioiii they know but little And this,
arises out of the nature of Represe itativr
governuients. Let us submit to be governed
by a hereditary monarch, and the evil will
cease to exist—not before. No man waslev.
er chosen to. a high office in this or any other
country with whose claims or qualifications
for that office the people at large were . either‘
personally or generally arqtraiirted. ll the
elective franchise is cxerci-r-ed; by-the people
they must necessarily depend in a great meas-
ure upon others for that itiforioaiiou which
shall enable tlietn to exert it umlerstandingly.
These are undeniable ‘facts, and we take them
to be decisive-of the present question.
Btit it is urged that the other states have
adopted the measure. It is rruethat the large
states have within a few years fallen into it,
and that the smaller onesshould follow is not
surprising. Btit if there is a necessity in the
former case it does not follotv that it exists in
the latter. Our own state is small, scarcely
half as large as some of the districts of Nett
York, Ohio, and other states, while we have
far greater facilities for becouiing acquainted
with our public men throughout the state than
they have with those of some oftheir owtr
districts. Without disparagement to tlienr
we may say,_ that asa body the peopie of this
state are more enlightened, and allowedly
much more inquisitive, and _of course less
likely to be impose d upon, or deceived in lllr
character or qualifications of the candidates
for their suflrages. The arguineut their
drawn frotn the practicr ofotlier states we
must consider as of-little force.
Btit there is, in our opinion, a decided dis-
advantage in confining the people within a
circle so circuinscribed as that which the ad-
vocates of this principle propose. Some
would have the counties as they now exist
compose the Districts, while others are so
anxious .to bring the candidates ‘home to the
people that they recommend the Senate to
consist of 920 to 925 members, and have a dis-
trict for each. The effect of both plans would
be to render the penplefat lzirge in a great
measure indifferent to the character of their
highest legislative body. Debarred the priv.
ilege of voting for them they would take no
pains to inquire into their qtrallications, and
that spirit ofiutelligence which now‘ governs
our elections, or which the present system
pre-supposes to govern them, and‘ is greatly
calculated to cherish, would vanish forever.---—
This is an effect titost decidedly to be depre-
cated, but we apprehend it is too tnucli lost
sight of_in the discussion of the question. Ev.
ery thing which has a tendency to keep alive
a spirit ofinquiry anti intelligence in a gov-
ernment like this ought to be‘ cherished with
the utmost care, and he who would crush it is
not more to be feared than the. tnan who seeks
to confine it within the narrow limits of his
own circumscribed vision. Let not such a
man talk of his patriotism. His regard for the
their real wishes or true interests. Heis tiini--
self deceived while attempting to deceive
others. i '
The Mz'lt'tt'a.—-Ptiblic attentionappears fi-
nally to be turned to the present ineflicient
organization ofthe Mi|itia.- The Report of
the Board of Officers assembled at Washing-
ton to inquire fully into tltis subject, and to
recommend some remedy, is said to be a very
interesting doctiment, as, we should suppose it’
must necessarily. be,.hav-'ng before them the
opinions of the Goveriili
and of many distinguishedjnilitary‘ men. It
commences, says the lllercul-'”y-, with pninling
out the defects of the existing ‘drganization,the
K
y This objection did not exist at the time of
'ses of the conitiitinity,by causing them to pro
changed as to gratify Mr. Citizen, and throw
-less so to the political constitution ofa State ;
rs,_of all the States, .
passing the law on that subject, which is in
force at present ; it might-.,V_Vt‘;ll have been ex-
pedient at that p,eriod,__(_l_7§l2l,td. enroll alllhe

States, between. t'be_ag,es nl J8 and. 45 years,
but in the 34 years;vvliicli_ have since, elapserl,
our general population. and consequeiitly the
male citizenshave been trt-bled ;,whilst it is
believed, the dangers of internal comniotions
on foreign aggression arediminished ; conse
qiieptly, it would seem thatfthe United States
now hold in nominal service ,a growing tiiilitia
force, already considerably greater than any
probable, it may almost be said, possible e-
mergency would require._ Another objection,
is, that the present system ofgerreral muster-
ing, whilst it produces no adequate benefit in
the way of Military Instruction, operates as a
heavy buitheii on the middling and poor clas-
cure arms, ammunition, 8i.e. where they are
not supplied by the United States, and intro-
duce hurtful practices instead of martial cg
ercises and images of war. _ '
They next proceed to, point otrt the reme-
dies. The full age offll is assumed as the
best period ofconniiencetiient of service in the
Militia, so as not to interfereavith the ordinary
control of parents, guardians, and , masrérs,
over minors. They propose to select from the
whole mass of able bodied ,white male citi-
zens above the age offll, and always taking
the youngest above that age, at the rate ofone
brigade for every nreniberaef the House of
Representatives ofthe U. S. to which the state
may be entitled. Each brigade to consist of
3 regiments ; each regimen_t.of2 battalions ;
each battalion of4 companies; each company
of,5 sergeants, 5 corporals,,2 tirusiciaiis, and
64 privates. Two brigades to constitute a di-
vision, and the state to designate the Regr.
merits, battalions and companies as Cavalry,
Artillery, Infantry, &c. and to accept as part
ofits quota as above, without regard to age,
unifoitned volunteer corps; also to extend thr-
ttuinber of privates in each-company from 54
to any ntitiiber not exceeding 100. It is stip-
posed that the full quotatntfi be obtained
without going higher than the age of 29 or 30,
and in some states not higher than “.26. ‘They
think that a well regulated army of 400,000
men would be sufficient for all the purposes
stated in the coristitutiou. ‘ .
The officers proposed are, a Major General,
with 2 Aids, to each. division, and a division
Adj. Gen Quartermaster and Cliaplain.——
To each Brigade ll Brigadier General and
Aid, a brigade Major anti Qtlurl6fll]HSl8f.-
To each. Regiment a Colonel, _A(ljtl[alll and
Qurrrtermaster, the two last to be selected by
the Colonel fr. the Lieutciiants of the Reg’t.
.r Surgeon and Assistant, Sergeant Major and
Qiiartermaster Sergeant. To each battalion
a Lietiteiiairt Colonel or Major, an adjtitant.
qiiartermaster, sergeant major, and trite prin-
cipal musician. To eaclrcotnpaiiy a captain,
and lst and 2d Lieutenant.
For the instruction ofofficers, it is recour-
tiietided that each State appoint as uiany
camps ofiustructl-on as there are divisions rid
the state. That at proper periods, the officer-
of each division, excepting always surgeons
and assistant-stirgeziiis, be assembled at their
respective camps, ten successive days in each
year, to be under the immediate command oi
the setrior cflicer present of the division or
brigad.e..- The military,-instruction at- each
camp to be conducted by a competent (ll)

paid by the U. States, under the sttpetintetid
eiice of the comtnandiitg ollit-er oi the carrip.
They further recornniend that a specified
stim be paid by the United States per day, to
each officer who shall be thus encaniped, not
to exceed ten in the same year-—-and that ev
ery officer he paid for his necessary travel from
his ltotiie lo the catnp and back again. Also
that the tnusici-ans who may he needed at each
camp he paid by the U. States.
' roe Tris GAZETT!-3., I
.Mr. Ea'ilor——l saw in your paper a piece
with the signature of Citizen, who I suppose
to be a uiechauic ; wherein he gives his setrti
nietrts on the subject of Assessiiieiits, and
pleads for entire exeiupticln from taxation, ex
cept the poll tax. lthitik it no more thanjust
that the farmer should he heard in his ttirrt,oti
the satire stilrjcct. [fa tax was laid on looms,
or airy other iiistruiiient o_find,ustry,every man
would reprobate it as oppressive; but a tax has
treen laid on teams employed in husbandry,
without exciting any opposition, though his
team is to the farmer precisely what a luotn is
to a weaver ; he cannot perform his work
without his team. This short exposition is
perhaps sttfficient to expose the oppressive
tendency of the tax. In order that taxes
should be jttst, they ought to press on all the
snlijects of the State of whrilever occupation
they maybe, in proportion to their abmiy to
pay them ; but Mr. Citizen boldly asserts lllal
'-ill assessment for faculty is oppressive ; and
should the mode of taxation be so materially
the burden on the rest of the community,
would be like a physician who, while he is
administering remedies for the cure ofa par-
ticular disease, should create another, tiiore
unmanageable than that which he attempts to
cure. lfthis observation is applicable to the
‘physical constitution of individuals, it is no
and the whole ofmy daily experience teaches
me that tiiaiikind still contintte to be selfish.
