The tfiscustion on the Liberty of the Press was

secution of the Frenen church, tine liberty was pro-
hibited ; and that in Spirits lodges (of free masons)
are establishing, which will destroy religion ; that
n'ioo-ole intrigues are farmed in dark:iese; and that
it Out been for the people, • revoliiiieu. would

prass, Eogland is a steady ant morel nation.
Mottasais added, that neither a Holy Father nor
a Council could be 'tniiitioned **KA prottibited
writinz.
lt was then pot to the rote. whether the point of
the political liberty. of the pre, had been grageilert.
ly discussed; when tt was almost wisimuursly agreed
that it had. _ _ .

Tt was then discussed, whether the voting should
be public or secret. On this there were ddrereet
opinions; and though Arguelles was' of opinion
the totes should be taken in the ordinary ferns by
those who approved rising up. other Deputies ex-
pressed a wish that the voting should be private,
because thus there would be more freedom.
Ou this some debate took place; and thoilzh all
Steens were heft reeoorse to, to support this opinion,
yet LeXau rose and observed, that it was the wish
of the Sputish nation that they should all be heroes;
that it required•brmoess anti emistancy, not only
in those who were in favour of the liberty of the
prtss. but in those who were against it: that the
nation would look with the saint septet upon those
who heroically gave their vote for tee liberty of the
press, and npoil those who with sirtue red Can.
stoney voted against it ; since both acted equally
from a sense of ditty, and were equal in its eyes.
This question was then put. and it seas almost
tmanimuiss!y earned, that the toting sl.ould t,e
public.

The Edward schooner, JoNn CtitrSClr, master,
laden with fruit, arrived on Saturday at Dartmouth,
sifter a pelage of nine dais from Lisbon. She
bas brought intelligence from that city to the yith
inststd, up to which date no battle had been fought,
nor had An) military operation of ronsequeuce taken
Steve ; a battle. hovrever, was (illy expected, and
the Allied Army appeared confident of auccrs.i.

The private letters from Listen. by the iral-
sile;ltart and Ifdsoord. state that the theatres are
sal oplrt, and the different chimes of the people
pantie their respective employments. The general
alarm which was spread throughout that capital
three weeks agar in consequence of a report being

cireulatett. disadvantageous to our Army. hod
gradually subsisted. The period alluded to was
• a truly erilical oat. Every ooe was anzioos to
procure a passage to Euglaud, and not less than
toor burrfred and seventy naves were entered at

the Almieter's house for that perplee. It eat

who boiler the sake of security embarked all their
property for England, have relandrd it, in con,c-
wiener of the sudden change in the public oviiiion.
—The Correspondent who communicated then
particulars, sada, " You cannot imagine how
wraree provonsacemet in Lisbon, on account of the

The mostievere shock of an earthquake exp .
rienced for many pets was felt at Lisbon .at two
o'clock in the uturniug of the 2d instant; but it
was attended with no other injury than the alarm
which such a phenomenon would naturally oc-
casion. It is somewhat singular, that a shock took
place last year, and at the same moment.
