LORD BERESFORD AND MS PORTUGUESE ESTATES. — Our readers may recollect, that
we merely hinted in our last Number, that Viscount BERESFORD'S property in Portugal would be confiscated. The "inter- cepted letters" published in the Times this morning, afford a key to the above hint ; and also to the political intrigues in which the Great Captain, Lord ABERDEEN, and Co. employ their talents. About this time last year, most of the same parties were similarly employed—and with equal success—in the service of the Dutch King.
LORD LOIVTHER.—Lord LOWTHER'S embarkation for St. Petersburg ereates a good deal of speculation in the Clubs. His mission, how- ever, is quite unconnected with the Foreign policy of the WELLINGTON clique.
CONSERVATIVE CLUB.—We understand that several members of the Club have resigned their seats.
THE RUSSIAN DIPLOMATISTS.—Among the fashionable nothings of
the Morning Post to-day, we find the following baleful announcement.
"The Princess Lieven is expected to arrive today from St. Petersburg, accompanied by Count Mastuszcvic. A King's steamer was despatched from this country many weeks since, for the express purpose of bringing over her Highness, who comes direct all the way by sea."
What brings this woman, and with such a companion, back to Eng- land? How did they employ themselves—what protocols did they ma- nufacture—during the voyage ? On whose responsibilty is the expense of sending out "a King's steamer from this country, many weeks since," for the importation of such a cargo, incurred ?
