We arc glad to ob. serve that the Handclsblad at length ventures to anticipate from the negotiations, which are doubtless now commenced, for a dofinitc trea- ty, a speedy and complete settlement of the Bclgic question. Portugal.—All the accounts relative to Oporto, both from France and ever/ where else, lead us to expect that a movement’on the part of the forces of the young Queen is at hand. Many fresh troops have reached the scene of action, and every thing demonstrates some speedy momentous exertion. The Mar. quia of Palmella, with three steam vessels idled with troops, left Falmouth harbor on Tuesday afternoon. The officers and men were in high spirits. The Columbiu steam* cr, which left Falmouth on the 18th, and met with an accident at sea, was towed into Fal- mouth by the Confiance steamer on Tuesday evening. The two other steamboats sent out ui:er her on Sunday, had not then returned. We understand that a deputation of five persons from the West India interest, waited on Mr. Stanley a few days ago, and that the discussion between them and the Secretary for the Colonies, was of rather'ia violent char acter.- Mr. Stanley is reported to have said, that the Government had come to their reso lution deliberately, and would adhere to it lirmlv. If we were to believe the rumour now current, however, there is no intention of passing the details of the ministerial measure be made before the court. We at first be. lieved, and have since been informed, that Mr. Forsyth was authorized by .the Governor to give Mr. Wirt such assurances.* Since our release the question has been asked, What have the Missionaries gained by suffering imprisonment, and appealing to the Supreme Court? This inquiry may deserve a reply. 1. Suppose we have gained nothing. Ought we therefore to repent of having made the at tempt? Are we never to make efforts and sacrifices for the accomplishment of an im portant object, without the certainty of sue- cess ? Or when we have done it, and failed, are we therefore to wish we had not done it ? No. If we have gained nothing else, we have at least gained a very cheerful testimony of our consciences, that wc have done what we could, for the prevention of injustice, oppression and robbery, and the preservation of the national faith. 2. If wc have not gained, wc have at least not lost the privilege of laboring among the Chcrokecs in the work of the gospel. 3. We have gained in behalf of the Cher- okees, a decision of the Supreme Court, which, although it does not avail for the pro tection of their present rights, may neverthe less have a very important bearing on their future prosperity—a decision worth far more than the sacrifices we have made to obtain it.

Turkey.—The French papers of Tuesday last have been received. The intelligence contained in these papers is important, as it sets at rest the long disputed question of the treaty between the Ottoman Porte and the Pa cha of Egypt. It appears that Mchemct Ali has obtained all his demands.

TIIE MISSIONARIES AGAIN. The principal reason, it will be remember ed, assigned by the Governor, in his written pardon of the Missionaries, for the exercise of the clemency of the Executive, was; that they had appealed to the magnanimity of Georgia, and submitted their case to its exercise. That the long exposition of the motives, which induced the Governor to pardon these men, was made to the people, for the purpose of effecting the belief in the public mind, that tiio Missionaries had voluntarily and unsolici. ted, receded from the stand against the State, which they had so obstinately maintained, is evident beyond the shadow of doubt, from the document itself. IIow far this is true, must be judged of by the people, after the perusal of the following extract, which we make from a letter of the Missionaries, addressed to the Missionary Herald. It would seem to us we confess from this letter, that instead of the exercise of magnanimity by the State, in yielding a pardon to the violators of her laws, and the contemners of her authority, upon the t,on > abandonment of their improper position, and throwing themselves upon the mercy of the country—that all the magnanimity is on the side of.the Missionaries, and their counsel, in yielding to the continued solicitation of the Governor, through his confidential friends, that they should accept a pardon, and with draw their suit. It is for the people to say, under all the circumstances of the case, and the aggravated contumacy of the Missionaries, how far the Governor consulted the honor or the dignity of his State in thus, instead of acting as the ex. ccutor of her laws, and the supporter of her authority, humbly soliciting and entreating the violators of the one, and the revilers of the other, to accept a pardon at his hands, without “ any concession, or condition or even application” for such pardon on their part. EXTRACT. Wc had the assurance of an unconditional ''release, provided wc shbuld desist from the attempt to obtain that release by force. This assurance came, not from solicitation on our part. Wc made no solicitation, no overture no compromise. But we were often and ear. neatly solicited by persons in the confidence of the Governor, to desist from the prosecu tion, and assured that if we did so, we should not long remain in prison. So long ago as last August wc were told by Col. Mills, that the Governor had expressed to him his inten tion to release us as soon as the Cherok cs should form a treaty of cession, or as the State should have taken actual possession of the territory by the operation of existing laws, and added, “ You may tell them so.” wc had given notice to our intention to move the Supreme Court for further process, Gen. Coffee and Judge Schley, two members elect of Congress, earnestly solicited us to recall the notice, and said that though they were not sent to us, and did not give the assurance of ficially; yet they had conversed with the Gov. ernor on the subject, and knew his views; and we might be assured that if wc should ■withdraw our suit, we should be discharged without any concession or condition, or even an application to the Governor, before many weeks. Mr. Cuthbert, another gen tleman in the confidence of the governor, and who had also solicited us to withdraw the suit, told us that he had received the. most un, qualified assurance from the Governor, that if we did so, we should be discharged imme, dintely after the adjournment of the Supreme Court. Mr. Forsyth hod called on our coun sel, Mr. Wirt, for the purpose of bringing about the same object, and had expressed his full confidence, though he said he was not empowered to give any pledge from the Governor to that effect, that we should be discharged immediately on the Governor’s receiving information that no motion would the principles on which we have acted. Hav ing made the declaration then; we fed a freedom which we should not otherwise feel in making it now. We knew not but what we • shall be con. sidered as having used language unjustifiably 11 did, and was informed by the Governor, 1 as an indignity offered to the State or its uu-1 by every one of his Excellency’s confiden- owing to circumstances which could not be severe, in thi3 communication, respecting the I that he had never had but one mind on the thorities.

They contain little intelligence of importance. We subjoin a copy of a paper purporting to be a memorial of the delegates of the Planters of Jamaica, addressed to the British Ministers. “We claim from the General Government, security from future interference with our ' slaves, either by Orders in Council, or any other mode not recognized'by our laws. “ We claim that sectarian Missonaries shall be left to the operation of those laws, which govern the other subjects of his Majesty; and if those laws are* insufficient to protect us from renewed insurrections, excited through their machinations, we be permitted to amend them. «We ask for such alterations in the reve nue acts as shall revive our prosperity, by re- storing to the colonies some part of the in come of their estates, whicli has now, and has long been, altogether swallowed up by the exactions of the Mother Countiy. “Ifthese reasonable demands are rejected, we call upon Government to give us, without further hesitation or delay, an equitable com pensation for these interests, which it had thought expedient to sacrifice for the sup posed good of the empire. “ Should compensation also be refused, we^ finally and humbly require that the Island of Jamaica be separated from the Parent Coun- try, and that being absolved from her alle giance to the British Crown, she be free ei ther to assume independence, or to .unite her- self to some St, te by whom she wifi be cher ished and protec ed, and not be insulted and plundered, ” ’• MISS MAAK1N, -irUriLL open this (Saturday) morning, at the Ho- J V tel of Mr. J.
