discraced and disbanded by the recent act OF the
King.
Spain and Portugal. There exists great and
growing jealousy on the part Of Spain, OF the free
principles which have found their way into the lnst-
buttons of Portugal and Ferdinand seems disposed
to avail himself Of the slightest pretext to commence
war agaist Portugal. 1t is even reported that hos
tilities have already commenced, in consequence Of
some of the Portuguese trnops having penetrat-
ed into some Spanish villages. where they were
attacked by the Spanish troops, and driven back
across the frontier, when the Spanlards themselves
we're routed and some of them taken prisoners. II
is charged against Portugal, that she has sent money
into spain for the purpose Of condemnlng the des-
potic system of that country. Money Isl yer:dls-
organizing agent, aud don't know that it could be
applied to better purpose The British troops are
in state Of inactivity i'll Portugal 1t seem, to have
been intended by tile British Government to station
ship OF the line in the Iagas, but the idea has been
subsequently abandoned, and the officer appointed
to the command has received notification to that
effect. Ii is to be inferred from this circumstance,
that things have taken more pacific turn.

General Jackson on various occasions disclosures
which would not have been drawn from the obi

for the oficious and injurious zeal of bis friends

Judging from the tone of some of the North Ca
rona papers, the attachment of the citizens Of that
State to General jackson, as candidate for the
Presidency,is neitherso general nor 81 unsquvocal

Register recommends meeting Of the friends Of

ifthey were to unite throughout the State. and 10
exert themselves, they might give the vote Of the
State to Mr.. Adams. The writer asserts confident
ly that the Administration has a majority in one
District and he believes there are maortics in its
favour in others. The Charlotte journal SAYS =
The friends Of the Administration in this State

Steamboat Trdoellsng. -The extent Of steamboat
travelling the Hudson River is hardly conceiva-
Bile by persons who have never resided in the neigh
Sorhood Of the t'great state" We have been IN
formed that about sixteen boats are now employediE
the navigation of the Nortn River alone. The
multitude of visiters from every quarter of the
union, renders New York perfect fair during the
Summer season. 1t is the grand market for poll
tics, fashion, matches, cotton, law, woollens, &c.
From every quarter OF the Union pilgrims bend
ther way to this city, with their pockets lined well
with that article which makes to itself wings
The money expended in steamboat travelling is
immense. Last year of the boats on the river
received nearly half million of dollars during the
season. Calculating upon this data, it is no unrea-
sonable estimate to say, tina. the receipts for the
whole of the boats during the season will probably
exceed fire millions of dollars. This immense sum
circulates in New York. and produces much comfort
to various classes of society There are probably
over thousand persons, of various descriptions,
employed in these boats, all of whom acquire re-
spectacle living by the rage for travelling up and
down the Hudson. II is very true fortunes cannot
be made by the owners as formerly, but the great
competition and the unrivalled comfort of the boats
have increased the number of travellers, and added
great branch eff business to hotels, taverns, and
houses of entertainment. Such is the comfort of
the Doats, tHt some single Fellows, your true baCne-
Tors, said TO live throughout the summer the
river.
Within the last few years the splendor of the Hud-
son steamboats, has increased astonishingly. The
cabins of many of them vie with the most splen
did drawing rooms in town. In few DAYS new
boat, called the Independence will be ready for bn-
siness, the cabin of which surpasses any thing of
the kind on any of the rivers The beauty Of the
carpetng-the brilliancy Of the mrrors--the bright
FURNISH of the mahogany piilars--and the tom en-
semble of the whole apartment equal the most costly
drawing room in town. Steamboat travelling is q
perfect luxury at the present day.-Nat. .4dvocatc,
