Some agitation and tumult had been occasioned by his disgrace, but the troops, which re mained firm in support of the Constitution, dispersed the rioters, and tranquillity was restored. The people of Madrid, who on the 3d inst. bore Riego in triumph through, the streets, hissed him on the 6th, when he set off for Oviedo, his place of exile. It is added, that, being convinced that his conduct was displeasing to government, his be haviour at Oviedo was highly becoming. The Cortes of Spain decreed on the 17th ult. that a general amnesty shall be pro claimed in South America, and an oblivion of all past differences. : PORTUGAL The Portuguese, in imitation of the examples of Spain and Naples, have proclaimed a new constitution; and, as in the former cases, the army has been the chief agent in this revolution, which has also been accomplished without bloodshed. This event took place in Oporto on the 24th of August; and the example was immediately followed at Coimbra, Abrantes, and other places. A supreme junta was immediately appointed, to bear rule in name of the king, until a constitution and government should be sanctioned by a Cortes to be hereafter elected, the present king to remain as head of the state. The Regency at Lisbon endeavoured to counteract these proceedings by a proclamation for the assembly of the ancient Cortes, and by confining the military in the garrison. In the meantime, the government at Oporto set out with a great force against Lisbon ; but before they reached that place, the regency were deposed by the military there. This took place on the 16th September, when a Captain of the 16th Infantry regiment harangued the men, and urged them to declare for the Oporto cause. The whole corps immediately proceeded to the Place Rocio, exclaiming, "Long live the King! -The Constitution for ever!" They were soon joined by the garrison, the militia, and numbers of the inhabitants. A new Regency was instantly formed, the Royal Government expelled, and orders were given to the Commandant of the Tower de Belam, which commands the entrance to the port, not to let any vessels whatever go out without the authority of the new Government, in order to prevent the sailing of three frigates richly laden, and bound to the Brazils. The Oporto Junta entered the capital on the 20th, when an immediate union took place, and a Provisional Government was formed to govern the kingdom till the meeting of the Cortes. ITALY. The revolution in Naples has given rise to a civil war in Sicily. From Palermo, it is stated that 200 communes, towns, and boroughs, had joined the Palermitans in their determination to uphold their independence; while the cities of Syracuse, Catania, and Messina, adhere to Naples. The town of Caltanisetta having taken the same side, was assaulted by the Palermitans, and it is said 2000 of the inhabitants out of 16,000 perished, and the greater part of the town was destroyed. On the other hand, the troops of Palermo have been defeated before Trapani, and chased away. The last accounts from Naples afford cause to dread still further dissentions between that kingdom and Sicily; as the government of the former were preparing to send a strong force against the latter, in order to make its authority be respected. PRUSSIA. A Government order has been issued in Berlin for shutting up the Lodges of Freemasons. It is thought that this measure will be adopted throughout all the other States of Germany; it has excited much surprise in Prussia, where the Freemasons have hitherto been protected by the Government. Various rumours are current, respecting the measures which will be adopted by Austria and Russia, in consequence of the sudden revolutions which have taken place in other countries in Europe; and whatever course may be ultimately decided upon, it is certain that these powers have refused to recognise the Ambassadors sent to them from the new Government of Naples. ASIA. RUSSIA AND PERSIA-Interesting dispatches have, it is said, been received from Persia, which announce the intrigues of the Russian agents in that country, and indicate the designs of the Court of Petersburgh. The footing they have obtained is so firm that they no longer consider it necessary to disguise their projects. On the death of the reigning Monarch, who is in the last stage of decline, they consider it as certain that they will possess the complete control. The Russian Charge d'Affaires at Tehran declared publicly, that in future the Persians must be content to receive their Sovereigns from Russia; to which he added, England could not reasonably object, as she gives away kingdoms every day in India. The regular army of Russia, now in Georgia, and on the line of the Caucasus, is upwards of 100,000 men, and of which 30,000 are part of the late army of occupation in France. They have been actively in the field for the last two years against the Schiekaus and Daughistanies. The Russian Charge d'Affaires, at a dinner which he gave to British officers in the Persian service, said openly that General Yarmaloff, Governor-General in Georgia, would be in Tabries in less than four months. Six days march, he said, would bring their infantry and artillery to Tabries, after which what was there to stop them till they came to the Indies? The Russians have taken possession of a place on the Caspian, near Asterabad, and have a clever man of the name of Moravioff, amongst the Turcomans. He belongs to the Quarter-Master-General's department. It is the opinion of the British officers in the service of Persia, that there is a secret understanding between the Court and the Russians-for the army of his Royal Highness Abbos Merza, Prince Royal of Persia, has been suffered to dwindle to almost nothing. The infantry amounts only to 11,742 men, of all ranks upon paper; but they have scarcely ever been mustered or drilled-are ill paid, fed, and clothed; and, indeed, completely abandoned. AMERICA. BRAZILS. Private accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro, dated August 1st, from which it appears that the Brazils are by no means in a settled state, and that it is not improbable the revolution in Portugal will extend itself across the Atlantic. Letters from Bahia, Pernambuco, and other northern parts of the Brazils, from houses of the first respectability, are written evidently under the apprehensions of the occurrence of some important event, and it is even more than suspected that the projected revolution in Portugal was known in the Brazils so early as June last. WEST INDIES.-Port-au-Prince, in the island of St Domingo, has recently suffered dreadfully by fire. The particulars are stated in the following letter from that place, dated August 20, 1820. "I have to inform you of the dreadful catastrophe which has befallen this city. On Tuesday morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a fire was discovered in the upper part of Dr Cruchon's house, which communicated to every part of the building in so short a time, that the utmost exertions of the inhabitants were of no avail; scarcely any thing was saved. The want of water rendered it impossible to stop the progress of the fire, and unfortunately there are no engines in the city. The seabreeze coming in at the same time, caused the flames to take a north-easterly direction, and ten squares of the richest, most populous, and best-built part of the city, were in a few hours in ashes. Where lately stood hundreds of shops, filled with merchandize, are now smoking ruins. Such was the fury of the devouring element, that upwards of six hundred houses have been totally destroyed. With the destruction of the houses, and the property contained in them, the loss is moderately calculated at five millions of dollars." PROCEEDINGS OF PARLIAMENT. DEFENCE OF THE QUEEN. HOUSE OF LORDS.-October 3. The House met this day at ten o'clock, pursuant to adjournment, and after some preliminary business, counsel were called in, when Mr BROUGHAM commenced his speech in defence of her Majesty, of which the following is as full an abstract as our limits will admit. He began by observing, That, as the opinion of the public had already decided on the case of his client, as he had nothing but perjury to dread, he felt some dismay lest his feeble efforts should turn against him those millions of their Lordships' fellow-subjects who already pronounced loudly the innocence of his client; as they could not fail justly to impute it to him if that impression were weakened which the case against her Majesty had made in her favour. My Lords, the Princess Caroline of Brunswick arrived in this country in the year 1796, the niece of the Sovereign, the intended Consort of the Heir-Apparent of the Crown-herself not a very remote heir to the Crown of England. But, my Lords, I now go back to that period only for the purpose of passing over the whole time till the year 1814, when her Majesty left this country. I rejoice that for the present the most faithful discharge of my duty to my client enables me to do so. Were it not that the cause of the Queen, as affected by the evidence against her, not only does not VOL. VII. require recrimination-I should have felt it my painful duty to submit evidence on that subject to your Lordships. I abstain from making use of materials which I possess. And if I should be so far disappointed in the failure of the case against me, that the futility of the whole accusation should not be manifest to your Lordships, I am sure that not only I, but not any, the youngest member of the profession, would hesitate in the fearless discharge of the duty which would then fall on an advocate. It is false and foul to say as those who, under pretence of their duty to God, forget their plainest duty to their fellow-creatures, have asserted, and they know that it is false and foul when they assert it-that there are any improprieties admitted on the part of the Queen. I deny that they are admitted; I deny that the evidence proves it; I assert that the evidence disproves it. One admission I make, and let my Learned Friend take that and make the most of it, for it is all I shall admit: I grant that her Majesty left this country for Italy; that she associated chiefly with foreigners; I grant that she associated with company inferior to that among which she here moved. I admit that while she was here she had enjoyed, not the protection of her own family, but the company of your Lordships, and the families of your Lordships; 1 admit that, when she left England, she mingled with |
