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
of 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

site the Church, Newington Butts, which, with the extensite
stock, &c. Wu totally consumed.

THE QUEEEV.

THE WITNESSES AGAINST THE QUEEN.
VIENNA, JULY SS.

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 the 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 nq 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
lin 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."
