" 'Portitgneee t The terrible crinee of rebellion against the rower and legitimate authority of our *menet Sovereign the 1i414 our Master, has just been committed in the et!) , of Oporto. A few ill-intentioned individuate, deceiving the ofreers of the corps of troops in that city, were unhappily n'ale to induce them, covering themselves with opprobrium, to violate, on the Roth of this month, the oath of fidelity to t: , eir King, tool to their colonels; and to dare to constitute, or their own authority in that city, a Government, to which. t . :zy gave the name of the Supreme Government of the bregetem.

They after wards marched against Tetuan, bat the inhabitants being informed of their improirth prepared to defend themselves, and compelled them to retreat. The Emperor arrived at Morracco with the few troops who remained faithful •to him. but he had not taken any measure whatever to reduce the rebels to obi:. thence. These Recounts had thrown the whole country into consternation. and entirely prohibited com merce of every kind. The Patriotic Society of.

The Committee for the Affairs relative to the War Department announced to the Cdrtei that in the memorial presented by the Minister of War, there was no mention whatever Of the thiee regiments of Swiss which form a part of the armed force of the kingdom, and that supposing this may be in consequence of some operations carrying on in that department for the organisation of the army. the Committee is of opinion the Cortes should be requested to communicate them to the Committee, that it may complete its information on the subject. Approved—(ii Miscellimea,4ll. gust SS.) LONDON, MONDAY. Serrsmssa li. 1820. The House of Lords adjourned on Saturday until Tuesday, the 3d of October. Mr. Baouattsw will then enter upon the case for her MsaitsTY's defence. It will be remembered that on Friday last the House of Lords refused to accede to the requests which Mr. BROUGHAM successively made; that he slimed be allowed to make his statement for the de fruit., and not be under the necessity of imme diately calling his witnesses, or that he should be allowed to continent upon the endence adduced for the prosecution. without touching upon the evi dence which he might subseqiiently think proper to bring forward. These prOpo , itions being severally considered sod rejected, the House adjourned On Friday, With the understanding that on the f o ll o wi n g rooming the Counsel for the QUERN would submit for the consideration of their Lo•dahips some further suggestion relative to the mode of conducting the d.fence. Mr. BaounsAm had in the meats time hikes' her MAJMITY . I commands upon this sots. jetit, and in pursuance of her instructions apprised the Flouse that he should proceed to the defence within the shortest possible space of time, fur that his lilustrious Client would prefer erecoutiteriog the embariagments snot possible danger cf entering prematurely upon her case, and a ithout all the effect which a longer preparation might afford, rather . than enduie the 'pollute evil of permitting the charges contained in the ATToits eir-Gett tax es. opee.ing speech, and in the assertions cf the wit nesses at the bur, enforced as they have beau by the eltlesence and ingenuity of the SOLICITOR GENE RAL 4 to dwell upon the puldic mind of this comm try. and to he borne throughout the world fur a long space of time wi.hout at leas end• avowing, as soon as possible, tocsins's.: their falsehood, end detect the active malignity of her rut miry.

As the think, in her sensitise regard for public opinion, has dangerously abridged iffe time necessary f,rr preparing her defence. lest the might by longer delay encounter the risk of Torfeiting her high place in the estimatiote of the country, the public ought to appreciate her motives and suspend their judgment upon the evidence adduced, so far at least as it might seem to criminate the illustrious defendant, uotil the opportunity shall arrive of com paring the chatges with the defence. This is a right which belongs to every individual under accusation. but hoer much more emphatically is it the right of one who has been exposed to every difficulty and hardship, in whose way impediments of the must alarming kind have been thrown, whose judges base frit Do sympathy in her sorrow., who his been deprived of privileges that have been granted to others, and who is now placed in the unhappy situa tion of demanding, as so exercise of generosity upon the part of the public, what she might. under Other circumstances, have claimed as a right, not by any fault of her own, ,but solely by the conduct of her prosecutors arid judges, when they withheld from her the knowledge of the charges and the accuser', which would have en abled her to meet both in fair and equal trombat ? To her MAJLSTT'S enemies, and those eh() having heard only one side of the question, will yet in the exercise of their enlightened judgments undertake to pronounce her guilty, we would quote the ex pressions used in the House of Lords on Friday last, by the LORD CHANCELLOR, when he said, " that their Lordships should hear in mind, that it was possible for every word of the evi dence they had heard at their bar to be com pletely refuted." This sentiment, so essential to the purposes of justice, will, we are convinced, be familiar to the minds of the QUEEN'S more imme diate judges during the suspension of the proceed. logs I. but as a further judgment is to be pronounc ed by the public, one no less solemn in its nature, and far more comprehensive, as it will embrace the judges and the parties, the caution addressed by the Noble Lord on the Weolseck to his fellow Peers is no less imperative upon the great body of the nation. if the people were suffered to think and act without the uncharitable interference of the ministerial agents, we should not feel it necessary to make this appeal to their sense of justice, we should rely with confidence upon their native gene rosity and integrity; but we have seen the detesta ble arts of a mischievously active faction, and we would guard the public against even the possibility of being beguiled into error by such practices. The Bishop of liVtacnErrei has not attended at the House of Lords since the first .1 of the QUItEN'S trial, when he was present as Bishop of Lincoln. His Lordship has not yet received his suminons to the House. The Bishops, it is said, are adverse to the Bill now in the House of Lords, so far at least as respects the clause of divorce.

Advice, from Madrid, of the 29th of A u gum. state, that General RI 800, com manding the constitutional army in Andalusia, has been appointed Captain-General of that province, iu the place of General O'Donosu, who has been appointed Minister of War. This intelligence would imply that the representations recently made by the army to the Government and the Cortes have been successful, and that the decree for sepsrating or reducing it, until the promised rewards are paid, either will be, or has bern revoked. The Government Gazette of Madrid contains a decree of the Cortes, ivinctioned by the King, re• lathe to the sale of nstionel property, comprisiog the Linda and effects formerly belonging to the lii rptivition. The produce of the vale wilt be applied to the liquidation of the public debt. The Paris Papers speak of several further arrests that have takeii place in the northern drpartmeists of France, in consequence of discoveries made te speeting the late eonspirocy against the Govern ment.

The opinions we entertained and expressed re specting the probable effect of the revolution in Spoln upon the state of Portugal, have been con firmed by the event. A revolution in the Govern- meat-of that country has been commenced in the city of Oporto, and, as it seems, by the very same instrument Which so happily accomplished the work of regeneration in Spain, namely, the military force of the cotintry. The circumstances attending this event have not •a yet Teethed us, and we know of the occurrence only through the medium of a Pro demotion addressed by the Regency to the people, reminding them of the duties they owe their King, and of the uniform beneficence of his Govern ment ! From this precious document we find that a constitution was proclaimed at Oporto by the troops in garrison in that city, on the 24th of last month, a Government established, and • National Asvembly summoned, under the name of a Cortes ; but the nature of the Co.notitn lion, the objects of the new Government, or the relation it professes to hear to the Kura, are of course not communicated in the Proclamation. On the 29th, the day on which the Proclamation was issued, the Constitutionalists in Oporto had not been molested by the Regency, nor does the Proclamation say that say exertions were making for that purpose. We must suspend our judg ment respecting this occurrence, until we learn the objects of the Insurg►nts; but 'it is at the same time consoling to reflect that no change whatever can take place in Portugal without improving the situation of that most wretched and abused country. Rear Admiral PLAMPIif returned to Portsmouth from the Command at St. Helena, the Cape or Good Hope, and the Mauritius, Saturday morn ing, in his Majesty's ship Conqueror, 74, Captain FaANCIS STANFLI.L, in which he was relieved by • Rear-Admiral Latin Eat., on the 14th of July last.

We understand Admiral PLAMPIN had not seen him for many months; that he sent to him to say his successor had arrived, and he should feel happy in introducing him: to which BONAPARTE" replied, he was too unwell to receive •isitors. He had built • mud wall round his garden, with loop holes, to enable him to observe the approach of any person to his re►idence.
