REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL.
By the brig Jones, in 25 days from St. Ubes,
we learn that an insurrection had taken place at
Dporto, in the army’ of Por'tugaL.\l>UE We are fur-
nished with few particulars.__ “Ills Stated that ll“:
government were tpeating with the revolted ‘army:
and had promised call a Cortes l.mrne.(l1atC:ly-
It appears from two Proclamations, signed by
two Colonels, two Lt. Colonels, and two Majors,
one of which is dated at Oporto, August 24, that
the insurgents acknowledged King John VI.—-
that, on account of their sufferings from wantof
pay, they take up their arms for the salvation of
their country, and their own salvation--=-that they
attribute the evil which they suffer,‘ to the Want
of a Constittrtion—and that they propose that a
Cortes should be convened to establish a Constitu-
non. These Proclamations are addressed to the
soldiers. All was quiet at St. Ubes. _

Rez.v0£'zztz'on in Porzugal—-Revolt in Paris, Efc.
The schooner Tom,in ‘24 days from St. Andero,
brings the Madrid Gazette extraordinary, of the
S 1st of August, announcing the important news of
a Revolution in Portugal. The agitations first
commenced at Oporto, and the revolntionists were
joined by all the Portuguese troops on the Minho,
‘ who took the oaths to maintain a representative
.‘government. _
Further accounts state, that the revolution had
taken place about the same time in all the princi-
pal cities and towns in Portugal; that at Lisbon
the legitimates had attempted to resist, but were
overpowered by the revolutionists, though there
was considerable bloodshed.
A: remarkable feature in the Portuguese revo-
lution is the fact, that the first measure adopted
by the revolutionists in every province, was to de-
prive the British officers of the commissions which
they held in the naval and military service of
Portugal, and to appoint native ollicers to all the
military commands. It was determined to adopt
a constitution similar to that of Spain.
The Macuitl Gazette of the ‘29th, has a long
article from Paris, under date of the 20th August,
respecting a 'cuhspii'acy to overthrow the govern-
ment, -dethrorie Louis lfllli, and proclaim one of
the Bonaparte family their Kinn-. Several oili-
cers of the garrison and many of the men had
been seduced, and numerous arrests had taken
'3l-place.
-_ ~ ‘Prints, Aug.‘ 20 —'—The government has been
. . 1 . for some time advised oftlie existence of plots for
>e‘xc,iling\ the troops to rebellion. It was assured

to overturn the throne and the institutions which

the oflicers and sergeants of the corps composing
the garrison of Paris were seduced, and some of
the Royal guard were among the conspirators.

gainst the palace of our Kings, and to proclaim
as sovereign a member ofthe family of Bonaparte;
but several of those, who '.vet‘e supposed to be ac-
duced by perfidious propositions, informed their
chiefs of the plot which was about to be put in ex-
—_ecution. The government could no longer delay.
The persons concerned in this criminal conspira-
cy were '.tt'l'eSlC(l by the gens. d’armes.
l It appears that the plan of the conspirators was
3 to get possession of Vincepnes, where. a fire broke
out about 3 P. M. but was soon extinguished.—
This was done, it is presumed, to create confu-
sion so as to favor a sttt‘pri‘.'.e.’——1l:Ia7iitcur.

The manner in which government first receiv-
ed ‘anzintimation of this conspiracy, was by a for-
tunate but most singular chance. A female who
was accustomed to read the newspapers at the Tu-
«illeries, in returning the journal she had borrow-
ed, left in it, unawares, a letter that hadjust reach-
t ed her. This letter was to the effect ofarlvising
herinstantly to quit Paris, in order to avoid the
*-consequencesofa revolution that was about to
break out. This letter fell thus into strange
-hands,-was read, and the female to whom the let-
ter had been addressed was taken up. She point-
“ed out the writer of it, who, being also taken, put
the authorities in -possession of the plot. ‘We
-are uninformed, at present, how far the burning
'of Vlncennes was connected with this plot. 4 It 1;
assertedthat the circumstance was occasioned by
the negligence or imprudence of a workman who
was employed there in repairing the fire arms to
be used at the festival of St.Louis. Several parts
of the building received some damage from a
,pa‘t'tial e:~:;.‘.lcsion ; ‘succor was prompt and abun.
dant; at 4 o'clock the fire was mastered ; lucki.

form the garrison are placed under a countersign.

seize the Lotrvre, and to penetrate to the Grand
Gallery ofthe Museum to the King’s apartments,
whilst by way of a diversion the soldiers who
were to have been gained were to have had a skir-
mish on the Place du Carrouscl with the giiards

SlCILY.—-Capt. Dixon states that every thing
was in a very unsettled state at Palermo, when he
left there on the 14th of Aug. Deputations had
been sent to different parts of the Island, for the
inhabitants to join—-and also to Naplesto ac-
knowledge their Independcnce--that the latter
deputation had not';_rerurned; that tliejtjfilizens
were determined upon their Independeiiib, and
had mounted cockadesiwith the motto ‘ Ir:dc,’:e7z—
dcrzcc or Dear/2 .” He also states, that what re-
mained of the Neapolitan troops (not killed on
the l7'.l) July) in the Island, amounting to 4- or
5000, were imprisoned by the citizens, and still
remained in the prison when he left that place.

‘The circumstance of this Island being; in it

Capt. VVilliams has furnished the editors of
the Mercantile Advertiser with London papers to
the 30th of August. The English Editors are so
much engrossed in the subject ofthe trial of the
Queen, that they have t'eccntly paid but little at-
tention to the interesting events on the Continent
of Europe. The evidence already ptiblished a-
gainst the Queen is a minute relation of some of
the ‘clis-gusting circzznzsranccs’ stated generally by
the Attorney General at the opening of the case.
The number of witnesses against the Queen to
be examinu.-d, are said to be 132. The trial is not
expected to be brought to a close under five or
six weeks from the time it commenced. ' The
first twelve day's proceedings occupy tiptvards
of 70 pages of the London papers.
The cross exzrrninatiryn of ./liajocc/xi closed on
the 6th day, and the Times say s-—-
‘ VVe believe we may congratulate the nation
on the exposure of the conspiracy against the
Queen, by the mere cross-examination of the
first witness produced against he Majesty. Ev-
ery thing that Majocchi had previously sworn
with respect to the solitude of her lVlajcsty’s bed-
room, now appears to be utterly false. This
wretched witness was housed and fed by the
British Ambassador, Lord Stewart, 21 man of an
extraction as low as that of Bergami-—of fortunes
almost as rapid E’
On the 9th day, the ‘ London Evening Mail of
Aug. 28th, says--‘ Up to this time the only two
credible witnesses examined, were the captains
of the Clorinde and Leviathan, and their evidence
acquitted the Queen of‘ improper familiarity with
Bergami.’ But how fortunate it was that the
House of Lords allowed of the daily publication
of their proceedings ! In this circumstance 01‘!-
ginated the happy discovery of lvlajocchi’s G89-
ceszcr connexion, which at once damned his evi-
dence. Tlre acknowledgement of the irnmense
bribes received by Gargiulo and Paturzo, the cap-
tain and mate of the vessel in which her Majesty
sailed, was drawn from their own mouths. Sev-
en hundred and fifty dollars at month were all that
the capt. received for the freight of the Queen;
which, as he justly argued, after the wear and
tear of his ship, after he had paid and fed his
crew, left little enough for himself: but by this
new spectilation in which he is engaged, he at
once gains, even by his own confession, (and the
public may rely on it they dont know all yet)
One Thousand Dollars a ‘month! net I clear of
expences I without the wear and tear of his ship
——without pay and feed of his crew! This fel-
low, therefore, is enriched for life, and the same
may be said of -his mate. Never was swearing
paid for at such a rate either in Italy or England
before. And here we would stop for a moment,
and advise the votaries of villainy to consider at
how much more costly a rate they are obliged to
pursue their criminal enterprises than those who
are addicted to the enjoyment of innocent and
legal objects.’
A Ministerial paper,speaking of Theodore’s‘ev-
idence, says—‘ He has had » to stand the brunt of
a severe cross examination, which, though it evi-
dently perplcxed and confounded him, docs-not
appear to us to have in the least shaken the im-
portant parts of his testimony. There is great

engaged in‘:di's_'t:t_i'ssing a question whether the

the witnesses in the in-an_n_er they desired, which
was finalvlytdetérmined upon by a majority of live.
Lor<bErskine' t‘hcn”moved that the House adjourn,
to afford time for the.Queen to prepare for her
defence; and thata list ofthe remaining witness-
es against her, with a specification of the time
and places to which their testimony would apply,
should be furnished her. On this motion there
were contents 61, non-contents 160.
The latest accounts given in the Courier of
Aug. 30th, state——At half past 2 the-House were
engaged in the examination of a witness named
_Proli Ogioni, who was in the service of the Prin-
cess of Wales, as under cook, and deposed to his
knowledge of Bergami before he formed part of
the Princess’ household. He remembered balls
being given at the Barona by the princess, which
were attended by the country people in the neigh-
borhood, farmers’ daughters, the wife of an inn-
keeper, &C. but no person ofany rank in life.—
He knew Ilia/iomct, and described, like the other
witnesses, the lascivious dance which he perform-
ed before the Princess on more occasions than
one.
The London opposition papers boast much 0 f
an Augsburg article, ofthe 17th Aug. by which it
appears, that '_l‘lieodore Majocchi and his father
arrived at Vienna in 1819, and that, according
to their own avowal, they have received on the
part oftlre English Ministry, supplies orindemni-
ties; that they had received promises of pensions
for life for themselves and their families; that
Tht:od0re’s father went to London last spring;
and that Theodore had declared, that the pensions
of their wives are paid at Milan monthly, by the
advocate Mr. Vilinarcati. Theodore denies all
this ; but, says the Times, '3 if he be not judged
out of his own mouth, there are other mouths
which will not easily be siicnc‘.-0', and which can
speak in good plain English, as we are assured,
to the history of Signor Majocchi.’

away upon ltalians, would endow 50 hospitals in

themselves and the mother country. It would

London dates to the 2d Sept. are received at
Boston. The examination of witnesses was pro-
gressing in the House of Lords. Queen stock
was improving--addresses were pouring in from
different quarters’. At :1 meeting of‘ house hold-
ers and married women of the parish of St. Ma-
rylcbone,’ a resolution was passed for providing
by subscription a princely annuity for the Queen.
At the commencement of the trial against the
Queen, Mr. Brougham spoke at great length a-
gainst the principle ofthe bill : and charged the
ministers of instituting a proceeding at this day,
which would have been a disgrace to Henry VIII.
After referring to the precedent of Bishop Arter-
bury, and noticing the interference of law under
the statute of Edward Ill. he went on to contend,
that it was imposstble, in this instance, that the
suc ession to the throne could be in the slightest
danger from any misconduct of the Queen. He
insisted that no case of paramount necessity had
been established by ministers towarrant them ll‘.
introducing a bill Contrary to all law, precedent:
and analogy. It had been said that the Queen's
conduct had tended to disgrace the crown and to
injure the country ; but he begged leave to ask.
whether the founclation of the charges, ifthey ex-
isted at all, had not existed while the Queen was
princes of Wales, and merely the wife of a Brit-
ish subject. Vilzy then was not the measure in-
troduced long ago? merely because the Prince of
Vlfales must have sued in the ordinary manner for
adivorce, and must have come into this house
with clean hands. Especial care had been taken
to wait until her Majesty, by her exaltation, was
deprived of her private rights and remedies: this
brought him to implore their lordships to pause
upon the threshold. He put out of view at
present all question of recrimiuation. I shoulrl
act, said Mr. B. directly against the solemn com-
mands ofmy illustrious client, if} had even used
the word recrimination, without being driven to it
by absolute over-ruling necessity. I should also
act in opposition to the same command, ifl argu-
ed in another mode--that levity, indiscretion, or
even criminal intercourse, did not necessarily in-‘
jure _the honor of the crown or the character of
the country. Slanders against the Queen have
not bee-n.pr'oved, but bruited and gossipped about
the continent, and collected with the utmost in-
dustry,‘ while no such jealous watch was kept
over the conduct of persons in the same illustri-
ousgfainily at home. In the same way Igpptstpone
all matters previous to marriage, because they are
not absolutely bound in with this dangerous and
tremendous question. They are not necessary to
the safety of my client.‘ If they were, an Itdvo-
cate knows but one‘ duty '; and, cost what it may,
whatever prir.cip::lities, powers, or tlominions, he
might offend, he is bound to discharge it. ‘vVhen,
however, it is said that ll1(llSCt‘C("t ‘conduct, or im-
proper familiarity was fatal to the dignity of the
crown, what‘ answer can be given to the state-
me:'it-‘-that a licentious, disgraceful,‘ and adulter-
ous intcrcottrse, has been proved against one
incinber or the royal family, Wllllt-til its being

After some further observations, he pl‘OC?3t“.'.lt':ti.
to argue that the people of England would look
upon the introduction ofthe honor ofthe crown and
safety of the state into this question as a ritl_ica-
lous prctc‘xt, and would say in their homely lan-
guage, ‘ here is a man who wishes to get rid of
his wife, and the peace and dearest interests of
the country, and the feelings of a rational and
moral people are to‘ be sacrificed to the gratifica-
tion of his wish.’ The learned counsel n‘extquo-
ted the opinion of Sir VV. Scott~on the sanctityoi"
the marriage contract, and spoke with much se-
-verity on the artful mode in which the country
was represented as the party prosecuting this bill,
when, in fact the Attorney General appeai'etlI.as
counsel for the King. He then went on to state
that the ministers had encouraged the Queen to
go abroad, at a time of life when she‘naturally
sought repose from the perseculionsto it hich she
had been subject at home ; and that, when four
years ago reports came over daily growing black-
er and more malignant, no hint was given that
was proper for her to return. ‘ ‘vV'hen she be-

their system ? Did they then pretend that the
honor of the‘ royal family was in jcopartly while
she renn-ined abroad under existing circurnsta.n-
ees ? ‘Nas, in short, any thing done to vindicate
the dignity of the crown, and to avoid an inquiry
most distressing to the long suffering people of
England‘? No remonstrance was sent OD‘. ; no
endeavor to claim : she might do as she pleased
while the Queen continued on the continent : she
was to be pcnsioucd to remain there, and to en-
joy the rank she was supposed to have degr'aderi.
and the privileges she was said to have forfeited :
she was even to have an increase of income, that
she might be wicked on a larger scale, and she
might become a spectacle in the eyes of foreign-
ers who envied and hated us. It was only when
she talked of returning to England that these ca-
lumnies became important : the moment she set
