Lisbon Papers to the 6th instant have reached us.
The Committee charged with the revision and liquida-
tion of the public debts have represented to the King
'of PORTUGAL the necessity of new measures to remove
the obstacles which oppose the progress of the said re-
vision and liquidation, without which it will not be
possible to obtain an exact and legal knowledge of the
amount of the debt,nor to fix the means for the progres-
sive payment. The KING has, in consequence, issued a
Decree, by which his MAissicv not only prolongs till
the la't day of December of 1826, the time for the pre-
sentation of claims,but abolishes,as odious and unjust.the
difference that was made between the several creditors.
The King of SPAIN has revoked what was determined
by the Royal Order of 4th July, 1824, dispensing only
the Captains of foreign merchantmen from proving,
'by certificates of Spanish Consuls in foreign ports,
that they have really entered on boar 4 of them the
goods which, on their arrival in the poits of Spain, they
declare that they bring in transitu for the said ports,
the reasons which gave rise to that Royal Order having
partly ceased.

We have received United States Papers to the 16th
ult. The angry feeling manifested by the partizans of
General JACKSON On the election of his rival, appears to
have subsided. The affair between Mr. KSAMER, a
Member of the House of Representatives, and Mr.Cm,
the Speaker, his net been terminated. Mr. KRAMER
refused to attend the Committee appointed to investigate
the matter. The following is the judicious address of
Mr. ADAMS 'to the Committee appointed to communi-
cate to him his elevation to the Presidential Chair :

" Glort.ness—ln rteeiving this testimonial from the Represen-
tatives of the People and States of this Union, I am deeply sensible
of the circumstances under which !t has been given. All my pre-

deceseors in the high station to which the favour of the House now
calls me, have been honoured with majorities of theelectoral voices
in their primary colleges. It has been my fortune to be placed, by
the division of sentiment prewiling among our countrymen on this
occasion, in competition, friendly and honourable, with three of my
ft How citizens, all justly enjoying, in eminent degrees, the public
favour ; and of whom worth, talents, and services, no one entertains
a higher and more respectful sense than myself. The names of

two of them were, in the fulfilment of the provisions of the Coned-
tution, presented to the selection of the /louse, in concurrence with
my owu--oanses closely associated with the glory of the nation, and
one of them further recommended by a lazier majority of the pri-
mary electoral suffrages than mine.
" In this state of things, could my refusal to accept the.trust
thus delegated to me give an immediate opportunity to the people to
form and to express with a nearer approach to unanimity, the ob-
ject of their preference, I should not hesitate to decline the ac-
ceptance of this eminent charge, and toetthntit the dechainn of this
anonsentinis question spin their determination. Rut the Con-
stitution itself has not so disposed of the coutingency which would
arise in the event of my refusal; I shall, sherd-ore repair to the
pm assigned me by the call of my country, signified through here

11... '

with the magnitude of the task

before me, but cheered with the generous hope of that liberal support
frail my fellow-citizens, • which, in the vicissitude? of a life de-
voted to their service, bas never failed to sustain me—confident in
the trust, that the wisdom of the legislative councils will guide and
direct me in the path of my official duty; and relying, above ail,
upon the str:r.ffintending providence of that Baum ' in whose hand
our breath is, and whose are all our ways.'
4 Gentlemen, I pray you to make acceptable to the House, the

assurance of my profound gratitude for their anfidence, and to ac-
cept yourselves my thanks for the friendly terms on which you
have communicated to me their decision.
" Washington, Feb. to. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS."

The Jamaica Papers contain the following; account
of a disgraceful outrage perpetrated by the Negroes of
Kingston and Spanibh Town. We extract the account
fr9m a plivate letter

" KINGSTON, JAN. 24.

" Interested as you are in this island, it will no doubt be pleasing
to you to learn that the minds of the Negroes appear to be quiet :
they seem to know that they have been imposed upon. The ac-
counts from all parts of the island are, that the Negroes have passed
the Christmas holidays with more good humour, and have enjoyed
their drumming and dancing better than they have done for three
years before. There are, no doubt, and ever *ill be, some disaY-
fected among them, bui in general they appear quiet and contented.
" In Spanish Town the Negroes carried about an effigy of Air.
Wmasaroacs, gave it several floggings, and then burnt it on the
Ilace.course. At each flogging they sung a song they had made on
him, indicating that he had deceived them, by promising to make
them free, but had not sent the money to buy them ; that he was
a liar, and bad only made a quarrel between them and their Mas-
ten. I trust everything will now remain quiet."

Frankfort Papers, to the 14th instant, reached us this
forenoon, but they contain nothing worth quoting.

The French Papers of Saturday have reached us, but
they possess little interest. In the Sitting of the Cham-
ber of Deputies on Thursday, the Keeper of the Seals
introduced the law against sacrilege, and defended the
infliction of capital punishment on the extraordinary
ground, that though it would have been better that the
law should have remained silent upon the guyed ; yet
since it was made to speak, a less punishment than a
capital one could not possibly be enacted.

The Constitutionnel states, in a letter from Madrid,
dated the 7th inst. that the King of SPAIN had again
fallen ill, and his relapse is attributed to a circumstance
somewhat remarkable. It is stated that FERDINAND
was on his return from a review, when a person ap-
proached the carriage and cried aloud several times—
" Death to the King !" The individual was instantly
arrested, and on being interrogated, he boldly declared,
his liked determination to repeat the cry, that he knew he
should be condemned to death, but he would not tetracto.

nor depart from his purpose. He was committed to prison.
Some disturbances had broken out at Cuenca, which
were quelled by the interference of an armed form
The following is an extract from a private lettet from
the Spanish capital Dr. Castello has advised his
Majesty to quit the capital, which advice will be fol-
lowed as soon as the necessary funds can be gut toge-
ther, to enable the Royal Family to remove to Aran-
joez. The Captain-General of Andalusia has repre-
sented to his Majesty, that in many towns in his juris-
diction, several Officers on unlimited furlough, have
actually died of hunger. The War Minister has written
to the Minister of Finance, stating that his Majesty's
heart was penetrated with grief at the hearing of nth
misery, and that he ordered that measures should be
taken to prevent its recurrence. The Minister of
Finance has written to his subaltern agents that they
sheuld employ a part of the contributions to alleviating
this distress. But these agents state that they can get
little or nothing from the people—so that these unfor-
tunate Officers continue to die with hunger."

WINDSOR, MARCH 20.—This morning Divine Ser-
vice was performed at the Royal Lodge, in one of the dining

Tuesday night, a splendid fancy ball was given by

Sunday se nnight, a Charity Sermon was preached
at St. Clement's Church, Hastings, by the Rev. Hamm
WyNcu, Rector' of Pett, and Chaplain to his Royal
Highness the Duke 'of CAMBRIOCK, for the benefit and
relief of our fellow-subjects in Hanover, who are suf-
fering so dreadfully in consequence of the recent fatal
inundations in Hanover. The Learned Divine took
for his text Matthew, chapter 25, verses 34, 35,
and 36, and after describir.g,. with impressive and pa-
thetic eloquence, the nature and causes of the sufferers,
he urged the great Christian duty of charity with much
zeal and el quence. The.,effect of this
.excellent citsr.,
course was such as might be expected, and it was fol-1
,lowed by a subscription of nearly 601. ,
