put of tiro wcok was ratlicr flat, but since WtNJiMday tlwro Iims bcon rnoro l)iiir, ami willi tlio oxcrption of the com mon kinds of American, which are a h ido lower, the prices of all descrip tions have been fully supported.1 .The recognition by tiuglnnri of Donna Maria as Queen of Portugal, look place at Lisbon on ihe 15th August, when Lord William Russell delivered his credentials to Dmi I'edro, as minister to the young Qutvn. Active interference in her be half however was not contemplated; for when Don Pedro asked whether he miffhi depend upon British support, in case of an attack upon Lisbon, he was distinctly assured by Lord William Russell, that unless any other foreign Power should in terfere in behalf of Miguel, no active as sistance could be rendered to the Queen. The moral effect of the recognition, which would moreover be doubtless soon followed by that of France, joined to the prosperous stale of ihe Queen's affairs must soon, we apprehend, decide the controversy. Paris papers had been received of the 1st of September, which state that ihe Queen of France had left that capital to join the King of the French, whose pro gress through the provinces had been marked with general expressions of res pect and attachment. Donna Maria was received at Havre without any of the ho nors of royalty. The Portuguese ship which is to convey her to Lisbon had noi yet arrived. From Madrid the dates were to the 21st August, at which time the King of Spain was still living. Another war of succession seems inevitable on the de mise of the King. We find nothing authentic and no ad dit iooal particulars even, of the alleged insurrectionary movements at Naples. The British Parliament was prorogued on the 29th August till the 31st of Octo ber. The King delivered his speech in person. It is of an uninteresting cha racter. Slave Emancipation. The Liverpool Albion remarks; The West Indies have, it must be confessed, driven a hard bar pain with the Government. It was at first proposed to advance to them the sum of4 15,000,000 pounds sterling, by way of loan; afterwards it was determin ed to convert the loan into a gift; it is now resolved to increase ihe gift to 20,000,000 pounds sterling. From cal culations made by one of our cotempora ries, it would appear that the sum, divi ded as the number of slaves in the British colonial possessions, gives 30 pounds sterling per head for each slave, includ ing young and old, male and female, the robust and the decrepit. The principle of compensation having been admitted on both sides, it is now evident, that the Government proposed at first a less sum than they were aware thev would ulti mately Itave to give the slave-owner; while the latter very modestly, but in the true spirit of traffic, asked a much larger sum than the former could be reasonablv expected to pay as the price of cmanci pation. The result of the higgling is now before us: ihe West Indians have extorted from the Government a greater amount of compensation than they were fairly entitled to. Ministers seem, hovv everyto have feared, that, without the co operation of the planters, their scheme of emancipation might be thwarted and ren dered in the end abortive. They have, therefore, bought that co-operation (as they think,) at a high price, but, perhaps, at the lowest the planters were willing to take: Thus slavery, the maintenance of which has cost the mother country mil lions upon millions, will be costly in its abolition; more costly than in reason and justice it ought to be. The equitable rule would have been, to have awarded compensation where and when loss could have been proved. This rule, which is observed in affairs of ordinary life, is re ferred in the case of the planters. They are to receive compensation, not merely where no loss can be proved, but where none may ultimately occur. This sub stitution of free for compulsory labor, may verify the opinion very generally en tertained, that, if not cheaper, voluntary is as cheap os forced labor. In that case the planters will pockot the whole 20,- 000,000 pounds sterling, and the returns lor the produce of the estates besides. I ruly, ihe Whig is, in more senses than one, liberal government. o 1 uhl.xhers of Newspapers and Periodicals In Ihe United Slates and the British Provinces. the publishers of the New England Weekly Keyiew are desirous of making up, on the first ol January, a complete list of all the Newspa pers and Periodicals published in ihe United Mates and the British Provinces, with the names ol their publishers and the places where publish ed; they, therefore, request all publishers to in sert this Card, and also Send them two copies f their respective publications in succession, thai they may not fail of receiving one, in order to render Ihe list complete.
