In anncipation of either event we deem it Mahe to amount our readers with the facts of the cse, the followmg being a statement of it salt is put b y t e e American government _ otlowillg Is the There are sever al claims, but the f pitripal one. and that chiefly interesting to us, as *IL-film:ly implicated in it : I:: Let year 1.."14, when Great Britain and America wen a ear. the American privateer brig General A.-arrotz. commanded by Captain Riro, put into the i r Foyal, where she oast anchor. heath ad airce.y doer so, when a British *quadrat, eonsung of "rot noses of war, one the Plantagenet, of 74 m. as 4:Co/erred in t h e o ffi ng, making for the bar ar, :•.aar.uth of which it &Wetly afterwards hoar, se: anchor. N:xt morning the Atnetican brig was ( w an d and ..rr.t, and compensation for the loss sesaissd by :Le owners and crew of the vessel was innediate:y demanded from the Portaress govern or_:, et the ground that it had failed to vindicate the tea:rainy of its poet. Such are the leading far vas of the ass ; but in order to understand the pre ral betrirg of the claim, it will be necessary to state the ;L:amediate circumstances between the appear me of the British squadron and the destruction of " brig. The transaction occurred in a neutral ire, k which the belligerents were at anchor, and the custioa will be found mainly to turn upon which of to two first violated the neutrality of the port. It appears from the protest drawn up immediately err the occurrenceseteCeptain REID, that shortly Or the British lei came to anchor, he observed an. suspicious circumstances, indicating an intention ca :he part of the British commander, to violate the Lc...relay of the port. These circumstances induced La to warp his brig close to the shore, when she was brought right under the guns of the castle of Mats Croz. Did the matter rest on the unsupported tee:many of the captain, whose fears may hive =g ild any circumstances into being ansputions, the r.bsequent occurrences might have assumed a totally I.±,rat complexion from that which the American rat:tent insists they now wear. But the "enspi- Lnis circumstances' are explained in a despatch after wards written by the Governor of the Azores to the Pataguese government at Rio Janeiro. From the statement of that functionary it appears tat a single boat from the squadron first approached the brig with en evident intention of ezettiting her, after which it retired and returned er.th ;tree other boats. By the time the four boats appended, the brig was in the act of being warped or. 'Lore. Satisfied that their intentions were hce- Le. Captain REID hailed them and warned them off. liaregarding his warnings, they continued to ap proach, whereupon, treating them mammies, he fired upon them. On this they retired to the squadron. The American captain, apprehensive of another Oak, applied to the governor for protection. The govertor immediately wrote to the Break commander, Ltitrioaking exception to what had already te emed and requiring him to desist from all fur ther attempts upon the brig, the safety of which wee guaranteed by the neutrality of the port. The British commander replied to the area that his boats had been wantonly fired into, and that it was L's intention to attack the brig on that account time further correspondence ensued up to a late hour at night, to the same effezt on both sides, until at length the Be.tish consul at Faye' wrote to the governor, apprising Lim of the unaltered intan tioos of the British ceamender and notifying that, if the Portuguese author.h csinterfered, the island should be considered as the enemy of Great Britain, and the castle and town dealt with accordingly. Such was the aspect of affairs when, at midnight, about a dozen boats from the 'quadrat approached the brig, and snicked her. The engagement lasted for forty minutes, and the boats, instead of capturing the brig, as the Times puts it, were again repulsed, where upon they rejuined the sqsadron. Things remained in this state till morning, when the Garnatiou• one of the vessels of the squadron entered the harbour, and opened up a heavy cann onade upon the brig. The captain aid crew, hndiag farther resistance =leek abandoned her and went ashore, after which obi wee tutu and burnt. A corresponlence was immediately opened on the subject between the American and Portageelre go vernments, and between the Portugal., sad British guvertmetts. A representation of the eireametances was rr,ide to the government of the PLUMB BRUNE Lt it.o Janeiro. On the 22nd December, the Mar' 5-;s he AGLIAIL, Foreign _Minister to the PaIIICJI tr , , sr, wrote to Lord ISTILIINGIORD, then Minister Pleuipotentiary of Great Britain to the Portuguese government, expressing the "sor row and anger of the PRINCE REOZIOI at what Lad occurred, and stating that he had ordered his minister fs Luodoa " to maks the Waled represent " stens to the Palace REGIME of the United King " dote, and to require satisfaction and indessaileattee, " not only for hie subjects, but also for the Amylase privatee r , whose security woe guaranteed by these& " loud of a neutral port."

On the 4th September of the same year, we lad Mr. lavaxacia writing to Mr. Foaerne,complaising that he had yet received no written answer to his sole of the 17th February. He bad, however had two interviews with the Porta geese ministe r, , who demanded time, ea the ground that he was still unable to decide on the merits of the craw Oa the 6th of April, 1838, we again find Mr. KAVANAGH complaining In • note to has government, that his note of the 17th of February of the previous year w ill rill unanswered, although he had frequently urged the propriety of an MIMIC being given to him. Owing to the distracted state of Portage, the matter wee again permitted to rest until May, 1842, whoa the attention of the Portages., government was again called to it by a note to which the foreign minister, the Dabs of Tzacmu, promised an answer, as soon es he amid gig* the matter his atten tion. Bat on the 17th of November the American envoy again informs his government that he is still without an answer, and that he had again laid the matter before the foreign minister. GOMEZ DI Cla n% who thee filled that poet, wrote shortly after wards to say that he wanted certain explasatices from the " financial department " before he eoeld 'tally decide." But on thi 9th of February, 1843, the envoy once more calls the attention of the Pots guess government to his unanswered letters, and demands a reply without farther delay. Os the aims day, DE COTS() writes demanding farther time that he may obtain further information. On the 20th of March the savoy has again to write to his government complaining of the apparent determina tion manifested by the Portuguese authorities not to make the required reparation, their disinclination to mange be matter appearing to increase with the t:ff• s tifill. It wee not until the 3rd of August g that a reply was at length received, deny fec the validity of the claim, chiefly upon the ground that the governor at Fend bad not had sufficient force I wherewith to protect the neutrality of the port. The answer to this is that the Marquis DE AOVIAIt, in 1814, charged the pressor with cen surable coedoet in not using the force at his disposal, and intimated in his note to the British government that that functionary would have been displaced and degraded, were it not that the Portuguese government was convinced that his inert ness had been occasioned vilely by his desire to avert from the people of Fayal the calamities with which they wera threatened, in case of his interference„ by the British commander. The matter is again :permitted to go to rest, until the 28th June, 1849, when the claim is once more revived, Port ugal having in the meantime been sub jetted to fresh convulsions. The same reply being I again returned, the American squadron is sent to the IT•gue, to enforce a claim which, as already ben, was fully admitted by the Portuguese government at the time when the transaction occurred, and which, after 16 years of fruitless negotiation, is now denied, upon a ground which, in the estimation of the American government, the facts of the case do not warrant. Such is the American view of the case, as base out by the documents extant upon the subject. It will be seen that the question as to the justice of the claim turns upon which party first violated the nen. I l trality of the poet. The British commander stated that his boats, which were fired into, were unarmed, and had no hostile intentiao_; bat opposed to this are 1 the protest of Captain Run, the statement of 1 the Governor of the Azores, and the im lportant fact that the British government I afterwards apologised to the government of Portugal 1 for what had occurred , and gave compeomtion to the neople of Fayal, who had suffered during the con flict. From this statement our readers will be able to judge whether the claim is this groundlees one which it is assumed by the Times to be, and whether, after having been allowed to slumber for 36 years, (another assumption), it has only been revised, since the commencement of the Greek affair, as the mow vary corollary to Lord Paiszarros s proceedings at the Piratic SWITZERLAND. The National Council of Swaimlaud, in its sitting at Berns on the Bth, adopted, akar a keg dissuasion, a decree, enacting that the discuesion of the bill on the clothing, arming, and equipment of the army, aboald be adjourned for the present, and that the Federal Council should draw up new regulation' respecting traitors's, eta., sad a now male for the contiegouts of money and men to be made by the different cantons.

Bat the objections smudge against oak a ale are endless. The cooly point of say late rest in the rest of the sitting was the epee& of Jules Fevre against the 7th article, which provides for the total infliction of a sum of penalties, instead of allow. lag some to merge in others. This he showed to be at venues with the spirit and fundamental principles et the penal code. The bill relating to the transport of letters between Marseilles and Corsica was adopted by 491 votes to 102. The bill proposed by M. de la Raclin* relative to freedom of duty for eel de trope, was read a third time and adopted ; as was also the bill authorisiog the disposal of the produce of the manufactures of the Globulins, Beauvais, and Sines. The proposition of M. Valette and others, relative to additional publica tion of marriages, was also adopted. M. de Girardin was present at the sitting of to-day, for the first time since the scene provoked by the au dacity of M. Bonbon He presented several petitions in favour of his pet idea, the redaction of all taxes to one sole impost upon property. The bill for subject ing Guadeloupe to a state of siege was adopted by 449 votes against 195. The debate on the press law was then resumed. M. de Gliasseloupieubst reported the examination to which the committee had submitted the amend ment of M. de Charcnoey, the drift of which was to camel the efftct of de Tiogny's additional clause by substituting the signature of the written article for that of the printed one, although this was not expressed with sufficient distinctness. The com mittee proposed to change the form of M. de Cha rencey's amendment, so as to make the signa ture of the writer only requisite upon the written article. (Sensation.) M. de Labonlie opposed the change, the only meaning of which was to stultify the vote of yesterday. M. de Laboulie renewed the tone which had been found effective yesterday, and tilted against anonymolumnis as the shelter of calumny. Of course the party interested in the rejeo. Lion of the bill applauded the specious sentiment, be cause the committee were evidently writhing to shske off the fatal amendment of 'Bogey, lest it should swamp their bill. M. de Keratry having defended the amendment of the committee, the house proceeded to divide, when 255 were found in favour of the amendment of M. Charenoey, changed by the committee, and 378 against. This immense majority was hailed with rapture by the opposition, who regard it se deeisive of the fate of the bal. Some other emend ates* with the same ebjeot as that of M. de Cha may, were then moved. It is possible that some may be adopted. If not, the bill must be regarded as lost. A calculation his been made of all the interruptions with which the members of the majority sought to destroy the efhot of Victor Hugo's speech. These amount, in the Moniteur, to 112, the greater part of which were delivered by • chorus of 300 voices. This sta t e ment gives a lively idea of the struggle which the heroic orator maintained before he could reach port. The nature of some of these iaterjections pre sents en apt guage for measuring the intelligence and modesty of French conservatism. One voice ex claims, "Send him to Bicetre I" Another, "Maniac!' A third, "And to think that France will have to pay 25 francs for such stuff!" Such are the terms with which the speech of a man of genius is received byi the moderates of the Chamber. The committee on the budget of expenses for 1861 1 has fixed the budget of public works at 115 millions and a half, which is nearly eleven millions more than the estimate of the government The ordinary ex penses have been reduced by rather more than one million, and the extraordinary have been increased by about 12 millions. Five millions and a half are' allowed for the expenses of working the railway o wl tioos from Paris to Tomlin', and from Dijon to' Chalons; and one million and • half far working the line of Chartres.

Oar Roman correspondent, in his letter of the 4th July, states that the revision of Cernuschi's trial came before a court martial on the 2nd, but proceedings being stopped by the fainting of one of the judges, it was deferred until the 3rd, when the prisoner was honourably acquitted. A British subject, a native of Hindoostan, had been imprisoned by the Austrians at Ferrara. and had appealed to the British Ambassa dor, at Vienna, far protection. The Pope's visit to Castel Gandolfo we. deferred. His Holiness bad im posed an annual contribution of 100,000 dollars upon the religisus corporations for the extinction of the treasury bills.

THE ATTACK UPON THE QUEEN. TRIAL OF PATE. The Meet d the bid of Robert Pate at the Central Cried's! Court, given in yeeterday's Errs's, terminated at the eloss of the ease kr the prisoner. The Attorney Gomel then made a brief and elegant reply. He assured the jury that he would willingly have spared himself the psis of addreedeg them upon the evi dence that bad been addend on behalf of the prisoner, bat his duty left him no alternative. Re should, however Goatee his observations seeirely to the 'Tidwell that h a d been &dismal, sad merely give the reasons why he moldered the jury would not be jus Vied in acquitting the prisoner upon the ground of inanity. His learned friend had relieved alas from one difficulty by the coarse he had takes, and it sow appeared to be admitted on all heads that fames day, sad In the presents of her royal ehildoese her Majesty had been struck by the prisoner at the bar. It appeared tolls that his learned friend felt the diffi culty is which he we. pissed by the nature of the defend: sadWebjest pears to be to endeavour to obtain &len i e nt assesses upon the prisoner upon the ground that be was a person of week mind, rather than that he should be acquitted upon the posed of insanity, the effect of which would be Posted be would be lasprisosed for the rest co his life It sp- I Posted to him. however, that it would not be a justifiable or proper coarse that a sentence should be raged on a man who permed &teepees, prspeneity of this description the effect 1 of whisk weiald be W set him at liberty in • short time,when he woad peobably be unwetched and unrestrained, as he us fortunately appeared to have been hitherto, and be thus left at fall liberty to resew his dangerous end violent rowed far ; and that the prisoner ought either to be convicted of the offence which he had undoubtedly cminitted, or else that he should be acquitted on the ground of Wealthy, the effaced whish would be that be would be properly restrained and revealed from committing further mischief. The gen tle*, then, which the jury had to decide was, whether the prisoner weals such a state of mind es rendered him respon sible for his adieus. It hadbeen urged by his teamed friend that the sea Ia itself was the act of a madman. He toasted, however, that the jury would pause before they incurred the dread i fll ac lossibility of sanotioniag the principle that the mere of an set was is itself evillest* that the party committing t was Wane. His view of the law, subject to the median of the wart, upon the question of the defence of insanity was this. It was not mere extravagance or ec centricity of emcduct that would justify a jury in coming to the conclusion that =accused person was insane, but it was necessary to show that a man was not aware what he was doing, or incapable of distixgaishing between right and wrong, to justify them in coming to such a conclusion. This rule had been distinctly laid down by Lord Hale and ft had always been sated upon, and it bad been confir med by the judges upon the question submitted to them in the as of ferNaghten. The whole question for the jury then was thia. - Did the prisoner at the time he struck the blow know he was (Wog wrung? If he did he we. guilty of the offense imputed to him, and no consideration on earth ought to in duce them to swerve from the strict rule of law, and from saying so by their verdict. Such a parson was responsible for his act, and the law required that he should be (punished for it. He could not deny that this gentlemen had exhibited great seeentrieity, and that his **duct upoo some occas ions had lywn meat extraordi nary, bat those circumstances were very far from justifying the jury in acquitting him upon the ground of insanity. No thing more had been proved than that be was eccentric, and that he was very much affected at the loin of his dogs and hinges. lied he ever been treated like an Jolene ptrson ? lie was always allowed to manage his own affairs. He sold his essamilioa t and appropriated the proceeds to his own pinery awl Wi had been always allowed to conduit his sun bMneay and he could not help oba rving, that it ap peared to him there had been some neglect on the part of his father in not taking some charge of him when he was aware of his eccentric habits. Did all the facts, however,prove that at the time the prisoner struck her Majesty he did not know whit ha was abew, or ;hat be was dei , g wring ?—and if the jury were not satisfied of this they were bound to return a verdict of guilty. What was the prisoner's conduct when he was taken into custody? Did it not clearly show that he was perfectly well aware what he had been doing. and was his conduct anything like that of an i ts person All he endeavoured to do was to palliate his nce. He was per fectly aware he had done wrong, and he 'ought to extenuate the act by saying that the witnesses could not tell whether he struck at the Queen's face or at ber t. net, and he subee quietly said that it was only a little blow with a light stick. This plainly showed that he knew well what he h.d done, and that it was a wrong set, and it put an end to the defence altogether. The Attorney-General concluded by stating that this was in reality the only question the jury bad to de cide, and h satisfacte felt satisfied they wuuld retnsurn • verdict that would be satisfa ct ory to their OM co:iences and to the country. Baron Alderson then summed up. He said they would hue no daculty with regard to the fact of the prisoner having struck her Majesty, or that his intention was one of injuret in the indictment. That he intended to inj her Majesty was apparent from the fact that he actually did injure her, and that blood finer& in conesquence of the blow. With ' regard to alarming her Xsjesty, probably from the natural courage of the family to which she be longed, that was not done; but there was no doubt that the former count, and also the one charging an intention to break the public peace, had been clearly mule out by the evidence. He would not waste their time by going through the evidence for the prosecution, be cause it wee admitted that the prisoner had committed the get, and that if he was a man of sound mini and understanding he was responsible, and whether he was so or not was the only question they had to decide. It was clear that at the present time the prisoner was perfectly sane. They began with that fact, and the law threw upon the prisoner the onus of proving that he was in a different state at the time the offence was committed, and the jury would say whether that had been done after he had ex plained to them what wu his opinion of the law upon the subject. In the first place, they must clearly understand that it wee not because a man wee insane that he wee die punishable— and he must say that upon this point there wu generally • very grievous delusion in the minds of medical men. The only insanity which excused a man fur his acts was that species of delusion which con , &teed to and drove a man to commit the ACi alleged against him. It, for instance, a men being under the delusion that another man would VII I ins, killed " that man, aa he supposed, for his urn pr.tection, he would be dispunishable for such an act, because it would appear that the act was done under the delusion that he could not protect himself in any other manner, and then the particular description of insanity conduced to the offence. But, on the other hand, if a man had the delusion that his head was made of glue, that would be no mine for his killing • man. lie would know very well that although his he id was made of glass that was no reason why he should kill another man, and that it was a wrong act, and he would be pr .perly sub jected to punishment for that act. These were the principles which ought to govern the decision of juriss in such cases. They ought to have proof of • formed diseue of the mind--a disease 'Using before the act was c msmitted, and which made the person accused incapable of knowing at the time he did this act that it was a wrong act for him to do. This was the ran he should direct them to be governed by. Let them try it by this test. Did the unfortunate gentleman know it was wrong to strike the Queen on her forehead? Now, there was no doubt that he was very eccentric in his conduct, but did that eccentricity disenable him to judge whether it was right or wrong to strike the Queen ? Was eccentricity to excuse • man for any crime he might after wards commit? It was true, that after the prisoner had committed a breach of military diacipline by going away from his regiment without leave, he had Ken excused on account of the unposed weak state of his -oind, but that was no criterion for the jury, and they mus..t.hicre to the law in its strictness. The prisoner wa proved to have been perfectly well aware what ho had done im mediately afterwards, and in the interview which he had had since with one of the medicai gentlemen, he ad mitted that he kaew perfectly well what he hod done, and 'scribed his conduct to some momentary uncontrollable im pulse. The law did not acknowledge such an impulse if the party was aware that it was a wrong act he was about to commit, and he was amenable for the consequences. A man might say that he picked a pocket (coos some uncontrol lable impulse, and in that case the law would have an oacontrollable impulse to punish him for it. What evidence was ther u e, then, in the case to justify them in coming to the cqpclusion that when the prisoner struck the Queen he did not know it wee a wrong act—in fact, that what he was doing wu wrong ? The learned judge then read over the whole of the evidence for the defence, commenting upon it as he Foes eded. He went on to say, that the prisoner was anehject for commiseration wee quite clear, and that he should also have been taken better care of was equally true, but the question they had here to decide was, were they satisfied that he was suffering from a disease of the mind which rendered him incapable of judging whether the act he committed towards the Queen was a right or • wrong act for him to do ? If they were not satisfied of this fact they must say that be was guilty, but on the contrary if they thought he was not aware what he was about or capable of distinguishing between right and wrong, they would then say that he was not guilty on the ground of inunitT. The jury retiree:lst twenty minutes past three, and did not return into court until five minutes past , when they save a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was immediately called up for judentent. Baron Alderson addressed him to the following effect ; Robert Pate, the jary hove found you guilty after • very long and patient inquiry, and there can be no reasonable doubt that they have come to a right conclusion. At the i same time, it s quite clear that you are a peon of very eccentric habits In in some deer= differing from other men, and it is probable that it has pleased Qod to visit you with some mental addiction for which you are to be pitied. The offence you have committed, however, is one of a very potions and important character. You hare been fosnd guilty of striving a female, which, for a soldier, is a very shocking thing ; but when it is oonakiered that thief/male was your sovereign, that it was one entitled to the respect of the whole country by her virtues and her exalted position, that set, which in =ordinary case would be a very serious effeses, ender these circumstances becomes truly heineus. Bow could it happen that you, a soldier of the country, could insult one beloved by all =oust not only of Ittr exalted alai., but her domestic virtues? Yet shows' the object of your attack, and whom you insulted by a blow. emai -1 daring the station of your family end your own position, the wart will not indict the disc rueful punishment of whipping , spas you. The court hu some respect for you, though you had no respect for others.
