LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
CHARLESTON, NOVEMBER IL.

BY the ship Isabella, Captain M Neal,
papers to the 9th October, inc lusive---
two days later than the accounts by the
Importer, at New-York from Liverpool.
Some extracts from which follow. We
learn verbally by this arrival, that the
expectation was general in London, that
the Bill of Pains and Penalties against
the Queen, would pass both houses Of
Parliament; but there was neverthel less
euch strong feeling in her favor
throughout the country, that the govern
mcnt would be afraid to adopt any hostile
measures towards her.
LONDON, OCTOBER 6.
Foreign affairs are now so little thought
of by the people of the country, that it
would be fruitless to demand for them
the attention of our readers, of whatever
importance might be the events which
were hourly passing on the European
Continent. Yet these events are of no
ordinary magnitude. An heir has been
born to the chief branch of the house of
Bourbon, and promises to fix their hither-
to precarious throne. The dominions
of the two remaining branches, Chose OF
Spain and Naples,) have undergone
fundamental and entire revolution. The
despotism of the House of Braganza, is
likewise demolished. The last French
mail brings intelligence that the military
at Lisbon had, on the 10th ult. declared
unanimously in favor OF the Instruction
OF Oporto; had deposed the old, and ap-
pointed a new Provisional Regency
but had effected this mighty change in
the name and on behalf OF John VI. and
of the Royal House of Braganza, with
out shedding single drop of blood, or
offering the least violence to person or
property. Our countrymen, we are
happy to learn, were treated with re-
spect; being requested, at the same
time, to abstain from appearing in their
national uniform. From Naples or
Sicily here are no further news.
The proceedings against the Queen
yesterday are interesting from two
causes from the commencement of
the examination oil the evidence for the
defence; and, ii we look to the anterior
proceedings, from that evidence being at
once respectable, and conCluslvely favor
able. Unfortunately, the nation has for
some time been familiarized to an ex-
animation in support Of cause, which
sive, must have been ruined by the
character of those who gave it. We
have now at last come to evidence that
may be believed.
The manners of the Countess OF Oidi
were inquired into; they were found
chaste and modest. Ii was at last asked
whether she had not Mllanese brugue,
as if The Queen OF England, German
by birth, and all English woman in sta
ton, were Judge OF that. Bul Is there
ScotChman or an freshman about the
British Court, that does not speak with
blogue! We could instance one of the
most intelligent members of that very
House before which The investigation
takes place. Bul in this state is the
cross examination, which, 1t is obvious,
SO Tar as ii goes, leaves the examination
In chief perfectly untouched.
For the accommodation OF thoSe,rea-
ders whose time IS SO employed that they
cannot toll through the evidence, we
subIoin brief abstract -
/. The Clerk OF the Queens Solicitor
proved that the Chamberlain OF The
Grand Duke OF Baden, though anxious
to come over as witness for the Queen,
yet was afraid lest he should offend his
Sovereign.
2. Col. St. Leger proved that ill health
was the sole cause Of his leaving the
Queens service, after years-from
1903 10 1919.
3. Lord Guilford visited the Queen al
Naples, and saw her in company with
his sister at Rome, Civita Vecchia, and
Leghorn. Her conduct perfectly pro-
per-no familiarity with Bersami.-l
Visited the Queen at Villa d'Este; saw
her in . boa, with Bereami. VINO rowed
