AT Lisbon there vas an entire stoppage
to business. A division who had been
In favour of the Constitution were afraid
of their lives, as the Kings party were
principally soldiers and disafected per-
cons, without commander. The In
habitants having no means Of defence,
quietly submitted.
From the Netc- York Erening Post, july III
We have had conversation with
gentleman of the first responsibility,
lately arrived fran Europe, who left
Paris on the 18th Of May, and came
through London, where he spent some
days. He says the prevailing opinion
among the better informed inhabitants
Of Paris and london, is, that the British
ministry are as anxious for the destruc-
ticn of the Spanish constitution, as it
now stands and the success Of the
French arms in bringing back Ferdi-
nand to ali the powers heretofore by
him surrendered to the Cortes, as the
most decided royalist in Paris. He
says, Paris was as quiet as London, and
this from no other cause than that
perfect understanding existed between
NJ. Chateaubriand and the British Min
istry, that the Spanish Constitution
should be made null-but that the In
QUESTION was not to be restored that
by the first of September, the cam
Paign would be closed, leaving 100000
French TO protect Ferdinand and his
Court. This is melancholy account
of the affairs in Spain.
|, This gentleman saw London papers
Of the 9th Of June. The King was so
seriously i'll, that the British Parliament
had passed an act for the benefit Of
those in office, that they should not
have to pay new duties on the success
sion of the Duke of York.
From the same source we learn, that
the Marquis la Fayette had it in con-
temptation TO visit this country once.

and between 80 and 80 passengers in
the Storage. most of whom are young
farmers, and of good character. for set
tlement on Mr.. Wards lands in the Dis
triet of Marietta. These enterprizing
young men. together with about fifty
that sailed from Greenock on the 4th of
April last, with the same intention, are
but the van of a much larger colony
that are winding up their concerns in
the mother country, and will shortly be
transplanted into the fertile vale Of
Ohio. This will be no small adyah-
tage to our common country, while it
will be particularly gratifying to our
sister State Of Ohio-virtuous men be-
ing a real acquisition to any land. Mr.
Ward- who has spent the last twelve
months in Europe, but much the great
er part of his time in Scotland, making
known to the farming class of that
country the many advantages of the
tlourishing State of Ohio, is of opinion
that 1000 individuals will have left
North-Britain for the vale of the Ohio,
from the first of April to the first of
October next, and that each succeed
ing year 1900 will follow their exam
pie. We may safely calculate, that
each person will bring S 200, which
will add to the capital of Ohio for 1928,
the sum of 100000, and for each
succeeding year the sum of 100000;
and as Industrious good men are more
valuable than money, we may double
these sums in behalf of this State.
This is certainly very pleasing in
the prospective. and we believe there
is very little doubt of IFS being fully
realized. Our country bids every sir-
tuous foreigner hearty welcome-and
no people make better citizens than
the Scotch: they are moral, religious,
sober, and industrious, almost to PROV
erb; and the least we can say is, that
he who has spent much time and money
solely for the purpose of making the
advantages of his country known to
European farmers, is deserving well of
his fellOW-CitiZens.
