the 17th, says, that a troop of Anti-constitutionalists, headed by a priest, of the name of MERINO; were roaming the mountains; but that the Captain-Ge neral of Old Castile, and tha Political Chief of Burgos, had taken measures to disperse them. At Osma, and some other places, several persons who, had taken part with the Insurgents had been arrested, and among these some old Guerilla soldiers. A private letter from limn, dated the Ist of August, nearly two weeks later it will be observed than any o f the accounts just quoted, says, that " the Junta called Apostolic had been dispersed by the troops and artillery sent against them, but that the insur rection of Gallicia was not suppressed, and that a creat number of peasants were still under arms. The Directing Committee of this Insurrection is in Portu gal, and another Power is accused, no doubt very wrongfully, of not being a stranger to these move ments—of having even furnished arms and money to the Insurgents." If by this "other Power" England is meant, of which, indeed, there can be little doubt; we need not say that no insinuation could be more unfounded. From Naples and Sicily there is not a word of news of any kind, except some amplifications of pre ceding accounts, in the Gazette de France, to which, 9s there has been confeskdly nt) subsequent arrivals) no credit can be attached. A Vienna article, cf the 26th of July, Says, that' Pi ince CARIATI, the new Ambassador from Naples, had not been admitted to an audience of the EMPE non, nor even to one of Prince METTERNICH, and that it was supposed he would not be recognized in that capacity. CARIATI was accredited at the Aus trian Court, in !814, as Envoy from Aluaim The Ambassador whom he comes now to supersede, is a Prince RUPYO, who has declared, it seems, that he will not take the cath to the new Constitution, but remain at Vienna as a private individual. If it be true that the Austrian Cour: has thus refused to receive the Ambassador from the new Govern ment of Naples, the fact shews clearly what the world are to understand by the formation of an Army of Observation in Venetian Lombardy.— Its object Cannot be to observe, but to dictate; and if obedience be refused, to compel it. Another Vienna article, of the same date, in the Gazette de Frame, adds that rield-Marshal 131axciu has re ceived orders to march on Romagna, at the head of 20,000 men. The rumour of a new commotion at Berlin is 'officially contradicted. They 3d of August Was the day on which the Ki' had at last promised to fulfil his engagement to give his people a Constitution, and there are, as yet, no arrivals from Berlin bf so recent a date. _ is stated by a amtemporary of this marling, that the Austrian Government has demanded from this country an aid in money, to enable it to proceed in its hostile designs against regenerated Naples,— Will nothing mote be necessary than money ? What can Austria do against Naples and Sicily without a flee.? and who can supply it with a fleet except Eng land, or some other country with England's leave ?' May we not conclude, therefore, that the demand] of Austria is for both ships and money ? And can it be believed that such a demand tan be listtned tb with complacency? We are sure that every right minded and considerate Englishman would revolt at the idea of again involving the country in a cr6sade of tyranny against freedom. If there is any conso lation in the poverty that our former passion, in this respect, has brought upon us, it must arise from the certainty that It secures us from a return of the folly: We have given this day, in a preceding part, what has been published as a Circular Memorial from the Russian Government to its Diplomatic Agents at the different Courts of Europe, on the subject of the re-establishment of the Cortes in Spain. It deve lbpes and enforces the sentiments contained in the note to the Chevalier de ZEA, Spanish Minister at the Court of Petersburgh, which appeared in our Paper of the Ist instant. Assutning that the dem; trent is genuine, though obviously very imperfectly transferred into our language, we can only say that it is one of the most wicked State Papers we have ever read ; jet, at the same time, so full of as sertions, in point of fact, which every one's know ledge can belie, and of assumptions in principle which are ages behind the march of the human mind, that it scarcely demands the trouble of a serious refu tation. We may probably return to it ; at present we have not room to spare for a discussion of its merits; and tve are not without hopes that events may speedily wise to render any such discussion superfluous. We allude, of course, to nothing more, than the determi nation which may be taken by this country on the subject. On Britain everything, as of old, still depends. Halifax Papers atrived to-day to the 22d July. We learn from them that the Island of Bermuda is again in a state of uptoar and confusion, in conse quence of a serious disagreement between the Go- Irernor and the Legislature. Letters were this morning received in town, from Batavia, to the 3d April, which mention that trade was reviving, and that all descriptions of cotton and Birmingham goods were selling at a fair profit. Cof fee and sugar were on the advance—the former being twenty-two dollars, and the latter six and a half dol.; Fars per piece. Letters have been received from Lift* dated the' 47th M.ti 61. They were conveyed across the hthutoi of Panama, and owing to the distance and the un certainty of navigation in the lower part of the Pa cific, the above date maybe deemed very recent. — The capture of Valdivia by Lord COCHRANE was known in the capital of Peru on the 16th of the same month, and the loss had been regretted by those emi grants only from the South of Chili, having property in that quarter, the tenure of so distant a point having hitherto been extremely expensive to the Viceregal Government. Actounts had also been received there, that the O'Higgins, the Chili Admiral's flag-ship, had struck on the Quiriquina, in Talcaguano Bay, by which accident she bad been so much injured, as to make from 50 to 60 inches of water per hour.— With the greatest difficulty she had been got up to Valdivia, subsequently to the capture, and ship wrights had been ordered from Valparaiso to endea vour to repair her, which was deemed almost im practicable, owing to the want of convenience, as well as the general state of the ship. The greatest tranquillity and confidence prevailed in the whole of the Viceroyalty. Accounts from the Royalist Army in Upper Peru had been received,' stating that the war was at a stand in that quarter, the troops opposed to them being chiefly withdrawn, or in a state of complete insubordination. • They had been informed at Lima of the progress of the Montt). neras, and the other parties from the interior, against Buenos Ayres; but they hid not yet learnt the suc cessive revolutions which had taken place there. No apprehensions whatever were entertained respecting the threatened attacks from Chili, nor had the Vice ' ROY deemed it necessary to change the position of the disposable force he now has in the interior. The three frigates, La Prueba, Esmeralda, and Venganza, had joined at Callao, and had been sent on secret service to the windward. Adv ices from Buenos A yres to the 1 st of June have arrived, but nothing material had occurred in that city since the previous accounts which were dated the Bth May. Don RAmos MExiA continued to exercise the functions of Governor, and Don Mmium. ORLI GADO that of President of the Junta. The communica tion with Chili was again open, and a free intercourse once more established between the two Governments. The dates from Valparaiso were the 21th of April. The Expedition against Peru, under Lord COCHRANE and Gen. SAN MARTIN, was nearly ready to sail for its destination. Seventy sail of transports *ere collected, and SAN MARTIN'S Regiment of Horse Grenadiers, with a considerable body of Infantry, forming the ad vanced guard of the army, were about to embark. The rest of the troops wereon the march for Valparaiso. An embargo was laid on all shipping in the harbour till the sailing of the expedition. It was certain that SAN MARTIN was in a state of communication with BOLIVA R, and the first opefation would probably be an attack on Guyaquil by the combined troops of Venezuela and Chili. NEW CONTINENT.--The - brig Williams had re turned to Valparaiso from a survey bf the land said to have been discovered to the South of Cape Horn ; but Captain SEARLE, of the Hyperion, had prevented all intercourse with the shore ; which led to the opi nion that some discovery of great ImpOrtance had been made. A rumour has been in general ciretilatititi this fore irboth of the sudden demise of her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT. We are happy to *state, that it is utterly unfounded. Her . Royal Highness never en joyed better health than she does at this moment. We are happy to learn froth ghefkeld, that she trade of that place has materially revived, and that there is every prospect of a farther amendment. Many able hands, in the difil-rent mechanical branches of the place, who have been for these nine or twelve months past supporteci by parochial support, are now in fall work; and there is a fair prospect that many hundred others, now unemployed, will be taken on in the course of a few weeks. Last night, bytwetn eight and nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the soap manufactory of Messrs. Langton and Bicknell, oppo site the Church, Newington Butts, which, with the extensite stock, &c. Wu totally consumed. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

Several of the witnesses against the QUEEN of ENGLAND have been here for along time past ; among' them is a person named Majocci, with his wife and two children. He was in the service of the QUEEN at Como, and sues dismissed 6y her. In the night of the 19th June they received, unexpectedly, orders to repair to England, under the care of the English Messenger, ADAMBERGER. They were maintained at the expense of the English Government. Majocci received ten francs per day, his wife five francs, and each child four francs ; they were paid, besides, 150 francs per month for expense of lodgings. Their family which they had left at Como, had also allow- ances. At their departure they were told that these payments would cease, but that the Messenger who accompanied them had orders to defray their ex• penses.—Journal des Debats. Adding the preceding allowances together, we find that this witness Majocci (for the man and his family must be considered as one) has had, and that for a " long time past," the net sum of one pound English per day, while kept in petto to give evidence against the mistress who discarded him, and that too in addition to allowances to the family he left behind at Como! What it is to be a witness against a Queen ! We mentioned yesterday that the houses occupied by Sir THOMAS Tvawffurr, Mr. LEY, and other Officers of the House of Lords, have been allotted for the accommodation of the foreign witnesses. We are now given to understand, that the house of Sir THOMAS TTRWHITT is to be kept exclusively for the occasional use of her MAJESTY, while attending on the proceedings, and that the witnesses are to be ac commodated in the temporary struttures lately thrown up in Cotton-yard, for kitchens, intended to serve the Coronation festival. Eleven beds were yesterday put up in those apartments, and suitable furniture pro vided for them. We do not know.that the Cbtona tion bill of fare will be placed at theft disposal, but there is no doubt that the culinary apparatus, which will be no bad appendage to the materiel of our foreign visitors, will be appropriated to their use. , Cotton-yard is to be fortified bn all sides, during the domicile of these foreigners, and four pieces of light field ordnance hate, we understand, been or dered thither from Woolwich. This is not the first time this yard has bristled with military spears around desolate and deserted Royalty. If we mistake not, CHARLES I. passed from Cotton House to Westmin ster Hall; to abide the event of his mock trial. We merely allude to this as an historical fact, having as little bearing in the way of application to what is now passing in Cotton-yard, as the proceedings of ? CROMWELL, MONCIC, and Ina Ton, in the adjoining Painted Chamber, have to the calmer ceremonies now conducting lh that apartment, in proof bf ceremonial usages at the toronation. Orders are given, that the apartments for the wit nesses to whom we have alludedi shall be ready on OP before Monday next: INTENDED SHEFFIELD MEETING. SHEFFIELD, AUGUST 8.--There h a most angry feeling between the opposite parties in politics in this place, which, it is much feared, will lead to nn= pleasant consequences: A Requisition, signed bt fifty-five of the most opulent and respectable inha bitants, was last week presented to the Magistrates, requesting them to call a Meeting of the Inhabitants, for the purpose of taking into consideration the pro priety of presenting an Address of Congratulation to her MAJESTY, and deprecating the proceedings going ' on against her. The Magistrates, however; refuseci to read or re ceive the Requisition ; 'neither would they give their assent for the use of the ToWn-hall for the occasion. The latter, howeter, being public property, the Re quisitionists determined themrelies to call a General Meeting of the inhabitants for to-morrow (the 9th), and passed an unanimous Resolution to hold it in the Town-hall, and nowhere else. The opposite party are all on the alert, and are de.: termined to shut the Meeting out of the Town-hall, if possible; and, if unsuccessful in this, they mean to propose •a set of counter-Resolutions, in ordet to defeat the object of the Meeting. In this state of things, much uproar and confusion is expected. • Both Lord MILTON and STUART WORTLEY are now here ; but it Is not supposed that either of them will attend the Meeting to-morrow. Mr. Sheriff PARiCiiiS went to the QUEEN'S resi dence, at Brandetburgh House, yesterday, in order to ascertain when her MAJESTY would receive the County Address; Lady HAMILTON, on being made acqtiainted Stith the object of his disk, doubted whe thet her MAJEsrit would feel herself able to receive kiln * on account of the recent death of the Duchess of YoitlC. The Sheriff, therefore, sent in a note to her MAJESTY; to which the QUEEN returned a very itacious missage by Lady HAMILTON, expressing trier regret that she could not then see ihe Sheriff ; and stating that she would, at , the earliest possible period alter the intetment of the Duchess of Yoax, appoint a day fOr receiding t h e Middlesex Address. A foreign Gentlein2n, decorated with the insignia of several Orders, arrived at the QUEEN'S late resi dence in Portman-street, on Tuesday Morning. In formation of his arrival was sent off to her MAJEstY instantly, when ont.of her Massarv's carriages, with the servants in the lioyal livery, came to town di rectly, and conveyed hid to Brandinbursii House. —Mr. UENMRN had also a long interview with her MAJESTY on the same day. • An Address has been presented to her lqAairi from North Shields and its vicinity. Her MAJESTY returned the following gracions Answer " I am unfeignedly obliged to the Inhabitants of North Shields and its vicinity, for this affectionate tribute of their regard. Ily bosom cannot but gratefully fell the sympathy which they ex press for the indignities I have sodong sustained, and for the many afflictions I have undergone. "If n q accusers bad not been convinced that their charges against me could not be supported by any legitimate proof, or be prosecuted upon any Constitutional principles, they would not have had recourse to an extraordinary expedient, which deprives me at once of the sacred protection of every existing law, and menaces my destructihn by an exertion of unlimited power. 6 , Unsparing vengeance, in the form of a Bill of Pains and Penalties, is arraying against me the whole force of the State. The heavenly aspect of Justice, which was once the brightest ornament and the highest glory of these realms, is to be covered with a veil; and my'honour and my rights are to be trampled l in the dust by a sort of gigantic power, which derides the re straints of law, and is inaccessible as a rock to the sentiments of humanity. " In the circumstances in which I nth placed, I should have been overwhelmed with despondency if I had not been power fully supported by the internal conaciousness of innocence, and cheered by the generous sympathy of the people, upon the pro tection of which I piece a firmer reliance than upon the Consti tutional reverence, or the moral sensibility of my adversarial. Their conduct towards me, in time past, has been prompted bx no other incitement than that of Infuriated malevolence ; and they must know tittle of the human heart who suppose that inch malevulenoe will moderate its ferocity, or slacken Its hold, when the victim is within its grasp." Tes EE. th 5 SA S ire G iion ip yam ur It! THE ARMY. The . 4th, or Royal Irish Regiment of Dragoon Guards, which has been so long stationed at tiud dersfield, Leeds, York, Sheffield, &c. has received a toute to proceed farther into the North, and to fix thbir head-quarters at Car They commeme their march early in the ensuing week. The 4th is a very fine Regiment, and the gentlemanly conduct of the Officers, and correct behaviour of the men, ort all occasinhs, has secured them the universal esteem of the inhabitants of all ranks, in every place in which they hate been quartered, in this district.
