7. That no lord should absent himself from the house, without leave, during the progress of these proceedings.

8. That the lord chancellor shall be directed to send letters to all absent lords, to acquaint them that the house was to be called over on the 17th August. The following is the petition of the queen for a list of witnesses, &c.

"Caroline Regina,

"To the lords spiritual and temporal in Parliament assembled.

The queen having received information, that the house of lords have appointed the second reading of a bill for the degradation and divorce of her majesty for Thursday, the 17th of August next, and as it is necessary and expedient for her defence, that she should be furnished with a list of the witnesses to be produced against her, the queen desires such a list may be forthwith delivered to her majesty's attorney-general."

Lord Erskine delivered a most powerful speech in favor of a motion to furnish the queen with a list of the witnesses against her. Without this, justice could not be dispensed to her. He was supported by several of the lords; but the crowd followed Lord Liverpool, and voted down the proposition, with very little argument against it.

The king recently riding in St. James' Park, in company with the duke of Wellington, when the people paid him the usual respect, was graciously pleased "to take off his hat in the most affable and condescending manner." As we never heard of any thing like this before, we suppose that the queen will no longer be charged with "courting the

London, July 11. The following placard has been extensively circulated within these few days: "Glorious deeds of women! Woe be to the age wherein women lose their influence and their judg men's are disregarded.

Reflect on glorious and virtuous Rome. It was there that the women honored the exploits of renowned generals.

All the grand events were brought about by women.

Through a woman Rome obtained liberty. Through women the mass of the people acquired the rights of the consulship.

A woman put an end to the oppression of the ten tyrants.

By means of women, Rome, when on the brink of destruction, was screened from the resentment of an enraged and victorious outlaw.

France was delivered from her invaders and conquerors, in the 14th century, by a woman. It was a woman that brought down the bloody ty rant Marat.

A woman nailed the tyrant Sisera to the ground. A queen caused the crued minister, Haman, to be hanged on a gallows, 50 cubits high, of his own erecting.

And a queen will now bring down the corrupt conspirators against the peace, honor and life of the innocent.

FRANCE.

The corvette Le Uranie, from a voyage of discovery, has been wrecked on a rock off the Falkland islands-crew saved, but all the curiosities lost.

Paris, which five or six years ago, could not count eight students from Greece, now contains more than sixty, whose object is to complete a regular course of study. The German and Italian universities also contain a considerable number.

A new princess. In the house of commons, July 14, a petition was presented from Olivia Serres. She stated herself to be the legitimate daughter of the late duke of Cumberland-that she possessed a document to prove the solemnization of a marriage between her mother [who was Julia Wilmot, the daughter of the late Dr. Wilmot] and the late duke of Cumberland, the brother of George III, in the year 1770. The duke had subsequently married another lady, on account of which his marriage with the petitioner's mother was concealed-from this cause, the petitioner, who was born in 1772, had been deprived of property which should have descended to her. She stated that she possessed a document with the sign manual of his late majesty,

A society of men of letter is laying, in the south of France, the foundation of a town, in which the only language spoken shall be Latin.

SPAIN.

We have a feeling account of the ceremonies which took place on the re-interment of the remains of general Porlier. A great procession was formed and proceeded to the chapel of St. Rouqe, at Corunna. His ashes were deposited in a beautiful urn, and carried on a triumphal car covered with mourning. And among other things carried in the procession, was a gallows-this was erected at an appointed spot with great solemnity; after which a young lady stood forth and pronounced the following words: "Let the barbarous and terrible instrument, on which despotism, with bloody fury, has immolated so many innocent victims, fall beneath the axe. The heroic Porlier, whilst expiring thereon, gave his last sigh for holy liberty--the punishment but increased his glory, and rendered his fame eternal." When she had

finished, the multitude cried out "let it fall," and it was cut down and burnt! Several doves, as emblems of liberty, were then let loose, &c. The urn was deposited in a costly sepulchre, amidst the tears of the people.

On the 9th of July, the king, in the presence of the assembled cortes, renewed his oath to support the constitution, which appears to have set all Spain in an uproar of joy. The papers are filled with accounts of fetes, processions, &c. &c. conducted in the most magnificent stile, at which the multitudes joined their voices in singing national hymns. The king has made himself exceedingly popular by the apparent zeal with which he accedes to the wishes of the people. At Algesiras, the priests of the cathedral were compelled to parade the aisles of the church, with a red cap of liberty mounted on a cross, followed by a long train of men and women, singing patriotic songs! The priests did not seem much pleased with their situation; but they could not help it, for the inquisition was demolished.

hoisted on all the public crosses, and crowns of oak and laurel were thrown from the windows as Quiroga passed. The heroic citizen is said to have been quite overpowered with feelings of gratitude. He proceeded to the hall, where the municipal bodies were assembled, and was received with tumults of applause, after which, the first syndic, don Cartejon, addressed him on the occasion. He then waited upon the king, and met with the most gracious reception from his majesty. In the evening, the society of the friends of the people gave him a splendid entertainment, and the whole city was spontaneously illuminated.

Plague at Majorca. The journal of the Eastern Pyrenees gives afflicting details respecting the contagion in the island of Majorca. It is now confirmed that its character is identified with the plague in the Levant.

The health report, from the 15th to the 20th of June, is as follows:

At Arta, 197 deaths, 2 recovered, 2 convalescents, and 676 sick, of whom 455 are in great danAt San-Severa: 106 deaths, 9 recovered, 21 convalescents, 512 sick, of whom 357 are in a grevious state.

Mr. Espiga, one of the most enlightened and liberal members of the old Cortes, has been appoint-ger. ed president of the new assembly-Quiroga, vice president. The king's speech on opening the cortes, is highly spoken of-but a copy of it has not yet reached us. He said, that the evils which had afflicted Spain for five years were caused by the bad counsellors which surrounded him, but that providence had at last condescended to open his eyes, and he trusted that the cortes would assist him in promoting the general welfare..

A pack of bishops and priests and others-"holy men," attempted a counter-revolution by forming what they modestly called an apostolic junta on the frontiers of Gallicia. But the project caused no uneasiness whatever.

The population of Spain as ascertained in 1803, was 10,541,251. The following items are extracted from the census.

[blocks in formation]

At San Lorenzo, (where the infection first appeared on the 17th of June), 7 deaths, and 12 sick, of whom 3 are in danger.

Arta is a small town on the sea-side, containing about 7,000 inhabitants; San Severa and San Lorenzo are only villages.

GERMANY.

That the unholy alliance had for its chief purpose to put down the liberty of the press, is no longer doubted. In France, Germany, Russia, &c. every one is persecuted who ventures to diverge from the line of political rectitude laid down for the preservation of the monarchical institutions, or who grumbles at the misery which its agents inflicts-hence little reliance is to be placed on the public papers as giving honest views of the state of things in these countries. This enchainment has excited a spirit of desperation; and it is said to be proved that Sandt, who assassinated Kotzebue, belonged to an association pledged to take the lives of thirty-three proscribed persons, at every hazard. Spies are numerous, intruding themselves in various shapes, into almost every company. The use of such creatures shews the state of a country to be most wretched. We do not know how an American would feel to have all his motions watched and all his words taken down.

At the execution of Sandt, the assassin of Kotzebue, the muskets of the military were loaded witú balls, and such was the enthusiasm of the people, that a poor peasant paid two florins for a few hairs of his head, and ten louis d'ors were given for a lock. Ilis spoons, plates, knives and glasses were sold at enormous prices."

A letter from Havana, after remarking that the fiscal had insulted the people, by saying that he would have the constitution abolished, for which he was sent to the Moro-castle to be tried as a traitor, says, "the citizens are determined to maintain their constitutional rights, even at their peril; they have now 6000 national guards at their disposal, and likewise all the regulars composing the garrison.”

The New Brunswick papers complain grievously of the evasion of the American navigation acts, respecting the plaster trade, by our own officers. They say that the collector of Lubec cannot see American vessels discharging plaster, though blessed with a clear sight in regard to others-being able to see even open boats. It appears that the price of this article has considerably advanced.
