Will the Holy Allies be able to arrest the progress of so many Revolutions?--Let them command the sun to stand still!—Will they be able to prevent changes even in their own territories? There is but one of them who can entertain a rational hope of doing so; and, even with that 'Autocrat, his inter ference with the affairs of other nations will serve only to hasten the pOriod for a political change, which otherwiie might be kept at a much greater distance. Those Monarchs who take lessons of wisdom foam the events of the hist thirty years, place themselves on the surest base. In Saxony, for example, the love of the Monarch approaches almost to idolatry, and the people are universally contented: in the neighbouring kingdom .;f Prussia, every countenance she's disaffection and discontent. But the Government of Saxony is as mild as that of Prussia is harsh, arbitrary, and rigor ous. . The King of SAXONY hardly keeps up the force which he is obliged by the Diet to maintain, while Prussia is one great Barrack ; but yet no apprehen sion is entertained with regard to the Government of Saxony, while the Government of Prussia, with all its armies and police-bands, is in perpetual terror. The Madrid Papers contain a continuation of the' inventory of property belonging to the Inquisition, offered for public sale on account of the Treasury, in order to be applied to the liquidation of the public debt. The enumeration of property held by the late Tribunal in Madrid, has been followed by its pos sessions in the Provinces. A list of what is called the secularized estates, or such ecclesiastical livings as have been placed in the hands of the Government for administration, also goes on. It is expected these two branches will yield a considerable sum to the State. dangerous and probably ill-intentioned plan) of dissolving the Patriotic Army of Andalusia has beets given up, on the representations of General RIEGO, who is himself to take the post of Captain; General of Andalusia, in place of Gen. O'Dorioar, appointed Minister at War. In the present instance, the sudden reduction of that brave and generous army, through which alone the Spanish nation has just been restored to liberty, could hardly have been proposed for any other purpose than to leave that liberty a prey to the factions of Court and Church, who will not for many years to come reconcile their hearts to its existence. In the actual crisis of a great Revolution there ought to be a power con centrated somewhere, if it were for nothing else than to preserve tranquillity, to intimidate selfish and furious individuals from forcing themselves into a mis chievous prominence, and to leave the minds of honest men undistracted by those fears of tumult or violence which might .perplex them in the discharge of their public duty. The Spanish Army having proved to their countrymen that Freedom has nothing to apprehend from their hostility, ought to be kept on foot, at least until it is ascertained that she runs no risk from any other domestic enemies. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning. They contain no news whatever from Portugal, nor anything else of importance. 1 IV% F. • t , :FALL )N DON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER .13, 1820. We have made a short pause before venturing to over any ob,ervation on the present state of the pro ceedings against the QUEEN. We have been waiting to see how the few Papers (to the honour of the :free Press of Br:tain they are but le:'.) who have venAlity and hit Jihuod enough to lend a helping hand to the prosecutors of her MaJesTy, would , depon themselves at a moment which must, of ne cessity, 6e one either of triumph or defeatt. We had been told by the SOLICITOR-GENICRAL for the KINN -that not only the substance, but almost all the details •of the ATTORNEY.-GENZRAI:II tremendous speech in opening the case, hat' been fully substamiateu by the evidence produced. Now, if the fact Tally were so, what would have baen the most likely policy on the part of the advocates aaJ abettors of the prosecu tioa? We have not forgotten, that ors the.evening of the day on which the .eirronnEv-tianzant.'s opening of the case was made, and for a whole day after, during which it was left to fester in the public mind, it did make on the minds of most men a very deep impres sion ; for, with all their susceptibility to strong pre .possessions, no people are, after all, more open to a reasonable conviction than the English. Even the staunchest advocates of her 31 &TESTY felt shaken ; and could not help thinking that his Muesli's Mi nisters, always looking upon them - as rational men, would never have ventured to patronize so atrocious a statement, without having in their possession some thing like evidence to support it. Now if such was the impression produced by the bare statement of the A T TWINEY-GENERAL, what must have been the impression had that statement, as the SOLICITOR-GENERAL pretends, been fully sub stantiated by evidence? Where would a man have been found to contend for the innocence of the QUEXti ? How lost—how irretrievably lost, must her Al:vasty have been in the public estimation ? How much snore than superfluous must it have been to say a single word in aggravation of her guilt ? Who would have thought of clouding a case, already so clear and established, with volumes of commentary and declamation ? Where would there have been the least shadow of occasion for new and laboured sum mings up of evidence which nobody doubted—or for new and curious ways of viewing filth which every cne abominated ? Who, even among the bitterest of her Maazsrfs enemies, would have refused to her fall the con.olation of a quiet shame?" But let us see how the fact really stands. More than four days have not passed over our heads since the case for the pro,ecution closed, .and the enemies of her MAJESTY, wl.o, according to their own pre- The Paris Papers, even those of Sunday, received this morning, still continue silent respecting= the Re volution in Portugal; a pretty plain indication of the feelings of the French Government, in common with the other Members of the Holy Alliance—a striking instance of the degree of restraint imposed upon the Press, in France — a positive proof that that monarchy is far from feeling convinced that it is placed beyond the powerful influence of public opinion, and that it is strongly apprehensive of what the result may be to France itself, from the avowed intention of the people of neighbouring kingdoms to put down ty sonny, And establish equal and efficient laws, calcu lated to give perfect security to every class of the community. The silence of the French Journals, let It be re membered, has not arisen from the news of the events that have taken place in Portugal not having reached Paris; on the con.rary, accounts bad been received in that capital, even by merchants from their corre spondents, and, of course, the news must have been known to many. The following letter was received yesterday, through a mercantile channel of the first respectability : REGINIANA. EQUAL JUSTICE.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was hcld at the Foreign Office, which sat till five o'clock. The Duke of Wzi.LlNwros attended, and afterwards left town. " PARIS, SEPTEMBER 9. 6 Yesterday the house of 15..-..-..--, of this place, received an express from Lisbon, bringing the news of a general insurrection of the inhabitants of that capital, the arrest and embarkation of all the British Officers in the vessels lying in the bay, and a complete change of Authorities. The whole was done without bloodshed. We anxiously look for the details of this important Lord DuncANNON has received the following most gracious Answer to the Address from 10,900 females of Sheffield, presented to her MAJESTY on Flicks : I am convinced that the Females of the United Kingdom arc my warmest friends, and amongst those females who so zealously espouse my cause, this affectionate Address coovinces toe that I may Lumber the female inhabitants of the town Sheffield and its vicinity. Their kind expressiOns of condole! ca and congratulation tell me that they feel a deep interest in my welfare. I ani co.:vinced that all the evils which I have stiffried, and all the Fers , cottons I have undergone, whatever may be the sorrows which they have occasioned to myself, will prove ulti mately bee.

The foregoing letter, it will be seen, mentions the fact, formerly announced in the Telegraphic Dispatch to Calais—that the Revolution had been effected, not at ODoito only, but in Lisbon. Indeed the event surprises no one who considers the state to which the Portuguese had for many years been reduced. With such a people—placed in circumstances so opposed by contrast to their former situation—the feeling of deg+ adation must have been more acute than can easily be imagined by other people. Portugal once possessed a rank and influence among European na tions, far beyond whit might be expected from her circumscribed territory and population. Her disco ver ies and conquests were treat, and her naval power and commerce extended to the remote corners of the globe; but her glories were suffered to die, almost with the men by whom they had been achieved, owing to the wretched policy of her Government, which soon became narrow, bigotted, and tyrannical. Exhausted by a series of ruinous and persecuting wars, a succession (4f weak and impolitic Princes tended to prepare her downfal. Instead of fostering that hardy and enterprising spirit which had cast so much lustre on the Portuguese name, the Monarchs of Portugal thought only of stripping their subjects of every particle of freedom they had inherited frcun their ancestors, and soon the very House of Braganza forgot the principles which brought them to the Throne. Hence, whilst through the spirit of liberal opinion, improvement was enlightening the rest of Europe, Portugal was seen stationary, debased by political as well as ecclesiastical institutions of the most slavish kind. When the Armies of France crossed the Peninsula, then, and not till then, the Government of Portugal began to see its own weakness. Her Army was naked and unpaid, her ships dismantled, her arsenals empty, and the credit of her Government totally ruined.— The Ministers enjoyed no public confidence, and con sequently were unable to call forth and wield those energies which existed in the People, who soon saw their Sovereign emigrate to the Colonies, and their country delivered up to a handful of foreign invaders. The People could not fail to ascribe the circumstances in which they found themselves placed to the true cause; but still the power that remained was willing and able to persecute individuals, The degraded state of the Press prevented any direct interchange of sentiment, and the more enlightened among them had recourse, in this emergency, to the pri vileges enjoyed in England. No less than four Por tuguese Periodical Works were printed in London, unceasingly occupied in asserting the rights that belonged to the Portuguese People, and of which tending, had proved everything—who had nothing to do but lay nn their oars (with a pleasing view of Cotton-garden in the distance), are again plying as hard as ever at their dirty work of perversion and slander. The SOLICITOR-GENERALs summing up is not enough for them—the whole evidence, told, too, in their own way, w ith innumerable deviations, and many shameless omissions, is not enot gh for them— they must needs have the case • again summed up, and commented upon in twenty different ways—all vhe gross points thrust forward in disgusting nakeJ ness—every simplicity in licentiousness made mon strous to humanity by the vile distortions of their own Jeinaved imaginations—every equivocal incident argued into a positive demonstration, and not the slightest circumstance overlooked which can possibly operate to the downfal of her MAJESTY. Flow is all this? Can such be the conduct of men reposing with confidence on the triumph which they pretend to have achieved?—lmpossible! It is the conduct of men discomfited, mortified, desperate; they are tugging harder than ever, only because the tide is running harder against them. The evidence in support of the ATTORNEY-GENE r.u.'s statement has been closed, and the opinion of !!le Public unequivocally is, that that statement has viot been substautiated in evidence. So far from the impression which was originally made by that state . ment being deepened and confirmed, all trace of it has been completely wiped away. The proofs which were to support have refuted it. The cloud of evidence which was to overwhelm the QUEEN with confusion, has dissipated into thin air. Instead t)f falling in public estimation, ber MAJESTY has risen higher in it than ever; instead of having no one to hold up a hand in favour of her innocence, a thousand pounds reward might safely be offered to tied au honest elan to hold up his hand against her. We had written thus far, when our attention was drawn off from the continuation of our remarks (which we shall, however,. re,ume to-morrow,) to a very apt exemplification of thei • truth.
