      ^ Pi ^ J ^ t ^ e subject of the drama , it will not be inappropriate to Offer 4 j | y qgfj&on on the last new tragedy and tragedian inmorted from America kt tint our dearth of managerial common-sense . There has been an attempt , to make the Gladiator and Mr Forrest " go down " as very great tMngs , but they will not last as such , neither will their admirers . Mr Forrest is utterly deficient in sensibility and imagination ; but his fine

      person , bodily strength , and stage clap-traps , take the senses of people at once , and often by storm . We could admire him excessively , howetver > in proper parts calculated to display his merits , instead of exposing his defects . 4 . Lisbon and Lord Palmerston . —It is to be hoped that the very opportune appearance , for the cause of despotism , of an English naval armament in the Tagns , mil not escape Parliamentary inquiry . At present the British name is tarnished by a connection , which cannot but be ¦

      itrfgrred , between the traitorous counter-revolutionary project of the Court and the mission of the French and English fleets . What danger to residents in Lisbon , from either country , could Louis Philippe or Lord Pahfterston possibly apprehend , unless they anticipated this treacherous movement against the Portuguese Constitution and people ? The Cou ^

      stitutian established ; the city tranquil ; the Cortes about to meet ; jthe Queen popular ;— -there was no more apparent need for a foreign force at Lisbon than at London . The case is one of strong suspicion ; and , should that suspicion be verified , of deeper culpability than we know how to characterize . The actual effect of the appearance of this armament in

      encouraging the faction that conspired to force a House of Peers on the Portuguese people , cannot be denied or doubted . The coincidence is at least unlucky . And he must be a bold Minister who can hope to justify hhnsfelf to the English public for abetting this attempt , both fraudulent all& ^ circible , on the liberties of a nation towards which we bear the most

      fyfefrdly relations . The symptom is an ill-favoured one for those charitable politicians who hope that the Whigs are beginning ' to see the necessity for some reform of our own House of Loi * ds . But apart from all such considerations , no time should be lost in demanding something more than t ^ e common official mystifications , towards explaining the course which haft been adopted in reference to the royal and aristocratical revolutionists of Portugal , in their late nefarious and baffled endeavour .
