THE EVENING STXR. LONDON. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1820. The House of Commons met yesterday, •ecord ing to adjournment. The CuAtscat.Loa of the EP , CHEQUER moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to search the Journals of the other House pith respect to the proceedings had against the QUEEN, and to report to the House, which was cat-- tied by a majority of 68 to 14. It will be seen from our Parliamentary Report, that Lord CAssten CAOII did not deny that obstacles had been thrown in the way of her MAixamv's Agents, by the Austrian Go. vernment, but, according to his Lordship, this ori ginated in no unfair pattiality, but in its inflexible adherence to official forms, and the prosecution had experienced similar inconvenience from the same Cause, in consequence of which some important Do. cuments wanted for the prosecution, did not arrive till after the ArroaszT-GINERAL bad closed his case. In speaking the public feeling in favour of the QuEEN; his Lordship held a very different.language, from that of her MAJESTY'S daily calumniators, who in their trashy columns assure us that this feeling is shared by few persons of any. .respectability. His Lordship most kindly found an excuse for the general blindness of the Public as to the merits of this great question, by ascribing it to 6 , a generous delusion," which called on the Public to support i female under • accusation. Mr. CREEVET delivered some severe observations en the manner in which the proceedings have been conducted in the House of Lords. He alluded parti cularly to the cheering and other marks of partiality, which the Counsel for the prosecution occasionally received, and for which her MAJEs-ry's Judges had been rebuked by her Counsel. Some discussion took place with respect to the ex penses of the proceedings, and the sums issued for her LlAJEsrfs defence, and accounts of-both were or dered to be laid before the House. On a question put by Mr. HUME, on the subject of the rumours afloat respecting Portugal, Lord Ces- TLEREAGH stated, that Ministers were yet in posses sion of no authentic information as to the recent pro ceedings in that country, and were therefore unable to deliver any opinion with regard to them. PORTUGAL It is now certain that there was not one word of truth in the report of massacre and bloodshed said to have taken place at Lisbon. The Revolution bad not been proclaimed there on the 3d instant, nor had any mischief happened. It seems pro bable, however, that the Regency will bend to cir cumstances, for they have summoned the Cortes of the Kingdom to assemble. The following accounts are from the Paris Papers of Saturday : FROM TIIE MONITEUR. " M A DIU 1), SEPTEMBER 1.5. K A courier from Lisbon has just arrived, who an-, nounces that General Saldanha, Chief of the soi dist:nt Constitutional army, was marching on that capital with all his forcos ; that he had drawn over to him some corps which the Regency had sent aqiinst him ; and that he was expected to make his entry into the city on the night of the Ist September. " The squadron of the Regency was still in the River ;it v.-as thought that a negotiation would be entered into, and that only two Members would repair to Rio Janeiro." PARIS, SEPTEMBER 15. " The most recent an.] positive accounts from Lis bon state, that, on the 3d of September, the move ment begun by the troops at Oporto had not ex tended to the capital; that the troops cantoned in the south of the kingdom, much more numerous than those of the north, had not followed the example of the latter; that they had, on the contrary, given the strongest assurances of fidelity. In these circum stances, the Regency, exercising a right with which it is invested by the powers confided to it, had pro claimed the convocation of the Cones of the king dom, to consult on the wants of the moment, and what measures should be taken. The happiest re sults arc expected from this measure." • _ Oporto, . with official accounts of the insurrection. which has broken out in that city. " The garrison of Valence do Minho followed the example set it by that of Oporto ; it proclaimed the' national independence on the 26th, at ten o'clock in the morning. " The English General, Wilson, was forced to quit, the command of the province of Minho, which has been assumed by Don Antonio Barros, Colonel of the 9th Regiment of Infantry. All the English in civil and military employments, have been replaced by Portuguese. The Inspector-General, Blunt, has been obliged to fly ; he was an object of particular ani madversion with the troops. " Preparations have been made at Lisbon for re sistance, but the people and the army are in general by no means favourably disposed to any opposition to the movement which has been made. " It appears that the explosion at Oporto was oc casioned by intelligence that a large English convoy had passed Vigo, in a direction for the coasts of Portugal." FROM TILE JOURNAL DES DEBATS. According to a letter from Lisbon, dated the 3d of this month, just communicated to us—" The re volt which broke out at Oporto has not extended much beyond its focus, since the Capital of the King dom, and the Provinces of Tras los Montes, of Beira Alta, of Alentejo, and of Algarves, and particularly the place of Elvas, have not taken any share in the insurrectioa. It is certain that General Count d'Amarante, Governor of Tras los Montes, has assembled his troops, and was preparing to march on Oporto, General Victoria, who commanded at Beira, and Ge neral Lobo, Governor of Elvas, had taken the most efficacious measures for keeping the inhabitants in order. The Regency maintains with invincible firm ness the important post which the King has confided to it, and it employs every means at its disposal _to reclaim misguided minds, and to arrest the progress of sedition. Lisbon enjoys perfect tranquillity:" FROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEL, “ CORUNNA, AUGUST 29. ” An extraordinary courier has arrived from - SPAIN. The fact, which we announced yesterday, of dis sensions at Madrid, are confirmed. The Moniteur of Saiurday presents a long letter from Madrid, of the 6th instant, in which, though there is an evident leaning against the party of RIEGO, it is made evi dent that in otters in Spain threaten a dangerous crisis. rison was constantly under arms. Happily all the precautions of the. Authorities were well taken.. During the two last nights the guards had been doubled, and the two . clubs strictly watched. The evening which has just closed has' been very 'stormy. A crowd assembled at the palace, composed of two parties. The Royalists on the grand staircase and in the heart of the palace, cried Longlire the King. The Liberals on the outside cried " Long live the Constitution ! TI Constitutional King, and General Riego!" They called him their liberator, and de manded his recal. It was not till night-fall that strong patroles succeeded in dispersing this assemblage round the Palace, but the discontented, with flaming torches in their hands, went towards the Patriotic Societies, redcubling, with inexpressible rage, their cries against the Government, also against the Cortes, and demanding the recal of Itiego. FROM THE MONITEUR. MADRID, SEPTEMBER 6. Eleven o'Cluck at Night. The Public are aware that General Riego, upon the order which had been reiterated to him, of re pairing to - his command •in Gallicia, and dissolving the corps of the army cantoned in the Isle de Leon, came to Nadi id, and in vain endeavoured to produce a change in the resolution which the King and Go vernment bad taken in this respect. The only thing he obtained by his efforts, was a new injunction-to obey. Such was not, however, the intention of the General and the party who had called him. Every means was employed by him and his friends to en sure the success of his resistance. Among other modes of exciting the passions, Ge neral Riego went, on the night of the 31st, to the Theatre, and did not scruple to compromise himself' in a manner the most burlesque, by giving out a song to the parterre (pit), which he endeavoured to make them understand by repeating it several times, and the couplets of which. terminated by a chorus in the lowest style—" Traga la perro," which cannot be understood or translated better than by the words " Gobe-le-chien." This song was, two: days after, the cause of a scene which was on the point of becoming bloody.— On the 3d inst. General Riego was present at a ban quet given in honour of him by the patriotic societies, and to which it was remarked that General Quiroga had refused to go, declaring that he disap proved of the conduct and temerity of his colleague. After the feast there was a representation extraor dinary at the Princes' Theatre, in honour of Riego. They played a new Piece, Henry 111. of Castile, which was only remarkable for a multitude of revo lutionary sentences. In the midst of the afterpiece the parterre demanded the favourite song Traga la perro. A warm altercation was on this observed between the Political Chief and Riego, who hastily quitted the box of the Municipality. The Political Chief declared to the parterre that they could not sing the couplets deinanded, because they were not announced in the bills, and addressing himself to the Actors, he prohibited them from singing the song. A frightful tumult ensued; the people were on the point of escalading the box of the Political Chief; swords were drawn ; the double guard of the Theatre was called in; arms were charged in the street; the entertainment ceased ; and the Political Chief re paired to the Palace with an escort. These excesses convinced the Government of the necessity of giving a check to the popular societies; and on the 4th a proposition was made to the Cortes, tending to repress the licentiousness of the meetings called patriotic. This proposition was remitted tea Committee by one of the strongest majorities which have taken place in this Assembly. The Government thought it also necessary to take the following measures ; General Riego was deprived of the Captain Gene ralship of Galicia, and sent a prisoner at large (en quartier) to Oviedo, his native country. Colonel San Miguel, his Aid-de-Camp, and author of his Proclamation, to Zamora. General Velasco, Governor of Madrid, toValladolid. Manzanaros, Colonel of Artillery, to Catalonia. Captain Nunez, to St. Sebastian. On the Lth, General Riego wished to appear at she bar, and read there a sort of Representation to the Cortes ; but he was refused permission, and sent the paper to the Secretaries of the Assembly. The Cortes, far from countenancing him, have expressed their full and entire concurrence in the measures taken by the Government. General Itiego set out this morning at four o'clock, with an escort of twenty cavaliers, who are to accom pany him to Asturia. It may be said with truth, that the six days of his stay at Madrid have been six days of disorder and of crisis. Not one night passed without plots—without abortive designs ; the tumult was incessant—the Go. verument was sitting unintermittingly--and the gar -1 • Nib •IL THE FUNDS. The situation of the Money Market has become very alarming, and the fall we have for some time predicted has taken place, notwithstanding the united exertions of many of the most opulent men en 'Change to prevent the evil. The public mind is so impressed with the consequences of the present do mestic inquiry, and the perturbed state of our fo reign relations, that no body of individuals, how ever opulent, have been enabled to stem the over whelming torrent; and Consols for the Account, which commenced yesterday morning at GG'h, were done in the course of the day at 65%, and left off at 66 1 / 2 . So anxious were the Brokers to know the opinion of Ministers last night in the House of Commons, that nearly half the visitors in the Gal lery consisted of Gentlemen connected with the Stock Exchange; and as soon as Lord CASTLEREAGH had delivered his sentiments upon foreign affairs, bar gains were made in the Gallery to an immense amount, at 66%. This morning, however, they began at 66 1 / 8 , and those who had purchased on the over night at 4f, rushed into the Market and sold at 1 / 8 ; this created a fresh panic, and caused many of the Bulls to turn their accounts ; the highest price the morning (twelve o'clock) has been 66 Y 8 ; but from the great quantity of Stock thrown upon the Market, it is very evident that confidence is not established. Omnium has been done at five per Cent. Discount, which has determined bets to the amount of £50,000, which were laid it never would be that price while it was Omnium. At one o'clock Consols for Ac count, were 66% 1 ,4. Current prices : $ per Cent. Cons. 66 Y 4 :66 % I AI 5 per Cent. Navy 102 1 ,4 - New Anns. 6634—Exch. Bills (2d.) 4s. 2s. 41. pr.

W. accompanied by such heavy and incessant rain, that none could expect any change during the day ; but between 10 and 11 A. M. the wind shift ing suddenly to the North, brought fine weather, and the sun soon shone forth with splendour, as if to in vite our numerous visitors so the cliffs, to witness the approaching scene. The first :traction, exclusive of the fine equipages and many lovely females, drawn forth by the beauty of the day, was the appearance of his Royal High ness the Duke of Yonk, the jaded steps of whose horses proclaimed that he had but that moment rived. He was hailed with affection by all classes. The next excitement was produced by the appear ance in the horizon of the Royal yacht and her at tendant squadron, a frigate, a sloop, a man of war brig, and a cutter :—there was to have been another frigate, but she had been ordered off for the Tagus at a moment's notice. Telescopes of all sorts and sizes were put in instant and general requisition ; and from two o clock, the time the little squadron first came in sight, till four o'clock, when they anchored and fired their Royal salute, the water alone and the objects which it presented, engaged every eye as ex clusively as if there had been nothing on the land worth a moment's attention. Curiosity, however, was soon dissipated as effec tually as the smoke of the guns—and " Home to din ner became the order of the day." If the weather will permit, it is expected his MAJESTY will embark to-morrow-for a short naval excursion. NA V .11. INF! riwtsc.s.
