THE QUEEN.

Bv the politeness of friend, who re.
turned from Englsnd in the ship Amity,
we have been favored with file OF Lon
don and Liverpool papers to the last OF
November. They are principally filed
with discussions rclstive to the Queen,
the substance OF which we-have already
given in our extracts from New York
papers We are verbally informed, that
great excitement still prevails in all parts
of the kingdom, and tha, scoen Fights of
the people are believed TO he in favor Of
the Queen. Our friend stood within a
few feet of her Majesty, when she ascen.
ded her carriage immediately after her
acouittal by the House of Lords. He
says ne saw the tear gathering in her eve
while she was passing from the door Of
the house to her carriage, and as soon as
seated she gave full vent to her feelings,
and burst out into immoderate weeping.
He has brought out several likenesses Of
the Queen, and describes her as wearing
the appearance ofno. more than forty.fce
although upwards of fiitv, with her
checks pretty literally succeed with
rouge.--Albaay Statesman.

AS was anticipated, the Patriots OF
Chill, under the command of Lord
Cochranc, have struck blow in South
america, the most fatal TO tyranny and
the most important in its consequences
TO the cause of freedom, than any militia
ry achievement during the whole of the
Revolutionary war in that country. From
the Bermuda Gazette ofthe 18th of Jan
uary, j, appears that intelligence had
been received at jamaica, from the Span
ish Maine, across the lsthmus of parlen,
from the South Seas, OF Lord CSchrane's
having captured the City Of Lima, after
alremendeous resistance, during which
four Of his Lordships vessels were sunk,
The particulars of this splendid victory
bad not been received; but its immcdi-
ate consequences had been, to induce the

dence, and the kingelom Of Quito to
shake off Inc Spanish yoke. The same
accounts state, that "the Powers of
Columbia" daily acquire mere strength;
that Aurey had arrived at Savanil!a. on
The Name; and that he aud his officers
had sworn to be faithful to the republic.
We anxiously look for the details Of
an event, which has given so fortunate
turn to the affairs of the Patriots, and
which we are confident, will ere long,
lead 10 the final emancipation Of the
whoic territory of South America from
the Spanish and Portuguese yoke.

HoRRID MURDER.

ST. CHARLES, (MIssoUaI,) DEC. SO.
On the 18Th inst. John Is. Duncan,
aged lo years, went to the house Of John
B. Stevens, in the County Of Madison,
(Mis. with the pretence Of purchasing
his tract of land, and induced Stevens
to go with him to examine. After de-
coying Stevens into the wood, having his
gun with him, he shot him through the
body but not having completed his he'll
lsh purpose, he finished by cutting his
throat, and left him dead, and weltering
in his blood. He then set of to return
to the house OF Stevens and met his son
about ten years Of age, with an axe in
his hand, with which he despatched the
lad-and then proceeded to the house,
and informing Mrs. Stevens. in the pres
ence OF hcr two daughters, that MIR. Ste

Mrs. Stevens immediately left the
house, with a young child in her arms,
in company with Duncan, to Join her
husband but AZ soon as they had reached
a convenient spot, the inhuman butcher
insulted her, abused her body in most
shocking manner, and murdered her by
cutting her throat; and then to cap the
climax of his inlamy and barbarlty, he
severed the head from the body of the in.
fnt He then returned to the house,
and frightened the TWO daughters Of Ste
velis. and compelled them 10 deliver up
all the money of their father, amounting
to about eighty dollars, and made off with
his dear earned booty Hewas immedi-
ateiy pursued and apprehcnded by the
citizens. who had been informed Of the
commission Of the horrid deed, near St.

Battle OF Baltimore, the writer has tailen in
to many error, which will be apparen, to
those who took any part in, or possesses cor
rec knowledge OF, she affairs of that day.
As the Gazette OF last evening Justly remarks,
"the writer never SPEAK in favorable terms
OF the conduct of the American officers or
soldiers, but with a view to throw additional
lustre on his country. Thus he praises,

to increase the merit OF the British troops in
compelling him TO retire" Two prominent
features OF the attack on Baltimore we OBJ
serve are passed over in total silence ny the
British writer-we aiiude to the Bumbsrd-
ment Of Fort NlcHenry, and the attempt to
land at the head OF the Ferry Branch. The
writer has not the candor to state that the
gallant band OF the Fort displayed the most
heroic iirmness under a tremendous shower
OF shells for twenty three hours, without even
having II n their power to '.reply TO che sa
iutes" OF their assaIlants, who prudentIv
chose their position beyond the reach of the

anxiety to point out the mistakes Of our ge.
neral which were never committed, passes o.

mistake by an overwhelming discharge from
Fort Covington and the SIN Gun Battery,
