LONDON’, Nov. 29. .Mz'm'aters.-—Lord Grenville has declared to the King that he could form no party offriends in ei- ther house that could strengthen the remnant of the present administration, if left by the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of 1-larrowby, and Mr.‘ Can- ning, who. have all tendered their resignation.-— It is said that the King has _sent for Lord Spencer to consult with him on the formation of a new administration. Foreign Intetligmcc-.—-The Brussels papers con- tain some communications from Vienna, respect- ing continental allltirs. It is not pretended that the ptecise determinations of the Allied Powers, as settled in the Congress at Ttoppau, are yet known. It is, however, acknowledged, that Aus- tria, in conjunction with Russia and Prussia, will occupy the kingdom of Naples with military. force. The immediate co-operations of England in this nefarious schetne is not anticipated. The Eng- lish fleet iii the Gulph of Naples is stationed there for obsetvation,and for the purpose of protecting the Royal Family in case of need. . ' Paris papers of the l6th contain important in- telligence from Troppau. Topics, say the p:-.-.. pers, of great moment seem to be under discus- sion, and a war upon the liberties of Naples would appear to be inetitable. The presence of the King ofPru.ssia, though laboring under indis.posi- tion, was found iudispensible by the Prince Royal and his ministers, in consequence of some com-. munications on the part of Austria and Russia. It is not yet ‘ascertained how the news of the au- nulment of the convetttion entered into with Gen. Pepe, was received by the Palermitans. Intelligence from Frankfort, dated the 18th in- stant, states, that judging frotn the advices recei- ved from Troppau, all hope of peace on the other side of the Alps is at an end. W'ar, it is said, is decided upon, and Russia will make common oause with Austria. ‘ Europe, it is added, is a- botit to witness great events. The King of Prus- sia has decl-.trcd that he will not acknowledge the Ilevoltrionary Government of Portugal.’ The llamburg papers mention an attempt to revolutionize the D-anisli monarchy. It is said, that it had been long in preparation, but was _ft'us- trated on the eve of its execution by the vigilance ofthe police. Mention is again made of the div-.cnntcnt of the Russian soldiery, and the fact seems to be that a regiment of young noblenten had taken a dislike to their Colonel, and had become impatient of the strictness of discipline. S/zain.—'l'he intelligence front Spain continues ofa distracting nature. ‘ The alarming rumors,’ say accounts from M-adtid of the 18th inst. ‘ which are in circulation, and the ferment which exists in several provinces, particularly in those of Burgos, Valladolid, and Avila, confirm oursuspicions that the plot of Morales has extensive ramifications. Orders have been dispatched to all the political chiefs to “double their vigilance, and to maintain tranquility in the departments.’ VVe have accounts from Madrid to the 18th instant: that place has again been the scene of an insurrectional movement. A letter of the 14th says, t every instant shews that the conspiracy of Avila was much more extensive than that of Bur- gos. Twenty-one ofthe conspirators are alre_ady in the hands of .justice, and we are assured that Morales himself, and several of his" confidential adherents, have fallen into the power of -__their pur- suers.’ . The contintied absence of the King of Spain from his capital and some unconstitutional appoint- ments, by the sign manual only, gave rise to a very general suspicion that some treachery was meditated by Ferdinand against the people. An address of the municipal authorities was there- fore published on the 18th ult. which has deter- mined the monarch to return to Madrid. The alarm spreadthrough the provinces, and the mill- tia is every where organizing to protect the con- stitution. On the 23d Oct. the body of merchants of O- porto solemnly returned thanks to God for the great blessings conferred on the ltingt-lutn by the consolidation of the great work of the salvation of the country, so gloriously begun in that city. Portugal.--The accounts from Lisbon are to the 13th November. Considerable agitation pre- vailed in consequence of an attempt to tttrn out six of the members of the Provisional Junta, at the point of the bayonet. All the troops were called out under pretext of a review; they were posted in different parts of the city, ball cartridg- es were publicly distributed among them, and a number of pieces of artillery, stationed in com- manding positions, were loaded publicly, and the matches kept lighted. The scheme failed in part, for none ofthe members ofthe Junta were turn- ed out, but the Spanish Constitution was adopted and sworn to. The Portuguese Commissioners have cast cap- tain Leeke, of the British frigate Myrmidon, and captain Sandilands, of the Mottgi-.tna. in four thpu- sand pounds damages for the improper detention ofa slave schooner, she having ‘only one slave on A board at the time the boats got along side; and as the treaty with the Portuguese government speaks in the /zlurul, the conscientious judges con- sider thete must be slaves on board to secure the condemnation of the vessel. This decision ofthe Portuguese commissioners has so alarmed the squadron, that slave trading will again revive; for who will run the risk of_such heavy dattisges when there is no reward held out to those enga- ged in the detention. _ _ Lisbon.--It is stated in letters which have arri- ved through l*‘ratice, that Capt. VVarkins, of the Brazil Packet, was arrested on his arrival at Lis- bon, and his mails seized and searched. No con- traband artlolcs being found, the captain was re- Ieased. The packet was again to sail for the Bra- zils, on the 6th Nov. with the Conde de Palmol- 1-.,; but no private letiters were suffered to go with her. The elections I-ot‘C-l;lle Cortes of Portu- gal were concluded in the same manner asin ‘Spain, and the deputies are to meet in Januat-y.-A _ The loan of 4,000,000 is nearly completed. Up- wards of 20,000 troops are quartered upon the inhabitants, which causes much complaint. Rob- I beries are frequent, and the public mind is still’ very unsettled. PARIS, Nov. 22. A letter from Bayonne,dated the 14th inst. says ‘ the English have taken possession of two Portu- guese vessels at the mouth of the Tagus, and war between Portugal and England may be daily ex- pected.' againt Portugal. Private letters announce that an English army will be setit to that country, and that nothing is wanted for carrying this object into effect but the consent of the King of Portugal, which has been demanded by the Btitish minister at Rio Jancirn. Letters from Madrid of the l4th announce that new troubles had broken ottt in Valencia ; the pil- lar of the Constitution had been insulted ; and subsequently a popular movement took place a- gainst the Archbishop, and the troops were called out to protect him from the fury of the multitude. The head of Gen. Elio was demanded, and it was with dilliculty he succeeded in calming the coni- motion. ViENNA,Nov. 12. The political thermometer now decidedly indi cates war against Naples. The military Coim- oil of State yesterday dispatched orders to seve- ral regiments of infantry in garrison at different places to march for Italy. The reinforcements for the army of Italy, sent off within a few days, amount to 20,000 men. Col. Augustin, chief of the corps of artificers, who made the horrible dis- covery of rendering the congreve rockets still more destructive, is on his march to Italy. l'lAMBURGH, Nov. 21. The post from Copenhagen has this moment arrived. There have been a great number ofar- rests in that capital, and, among others, several persons of great consequence. Their object ap- pears to have been that of obtaining a new Con- stitution, and a representative government. Some lives were lost, when the instigators \\Cl'€ arrest- ed by the police; btit as the feeling in general, througltout Copenhagen and the whole of Don- mark, is in f-.tvor of a new Constitution. no dot bt is entertained but that it will ultimately be grant‘- ed to the people. In Russia also, it would seem that the people are by no means satisfied with the existing state of things. The latest advices are received by a vessel arrived at Yarmotitli, from Petersburg, af- ter a passage ofonly 15 days. The letters from Petersbttrg, most probably from motives of pro- dence, are written in a gtm-.v.l«;tl manner, and say but little as to the real state of things. The fol- lowing is an extract frotii one ofthcm: ‘ “Te are now inclined to think that the account received from the Sound, of a portion of the Rus- sian army having laid down their armsin conse- quence of the severity of the discipline imposed. may have some foundation in truth, as it is not tin- likely that the great event alluded to in the above extract refers to the mutinous spirit of the util- itury.’ » GENOA, Nov. 16. By letters from Naples ofthe 7th inst. we learn that the Vengcur line of battle ship had joined the British squadron under the command ofAdmiral Moore, in that Bay ; and that a French division of two frigates, a gabarre, and a schooner, had also at rived there. Since the 9th instant, a Tunisian fleet of nine sail has arrived at Leghorn, reported to be in quest of an Algerine squadron, and also for the purpose of claiming restitution ofa small Tunisian crttiser, which the Tuscan government detained some months ago. It is stated that or- ders from Florence had reached Leghorn to ar- rest a vessel in that port, destined for Naples, la- den with powder by Tuscan subjects. An Algerine squadron of two frigates, a gal; lcy, and an armed polacca, had appeared at 'l‘-.tti"-‘ giers, with a fleet of nine nierchantmen ; among which was a Spanish trader, and a number of Eu- ropean slaves. Accounts from Vienna state, that the Austrian army in Italy is to receive a i'<-inforcement of 80,000 men ; they add that these energetic meas- ures are more than sufficient not only to put an end to the revolution in Naples, but also to ex- tinguish the revolutionary spirit. The appear- ance of war increases. It appears that his Holiness the Pope, in con- sequence of the march of Austrian troops into the Papal territory, assembled a conclave of Cardinals, and submitted to them the question, whether a representative Constitution should not be grant- ed to the States of the Church. On a division it was carried against the Constitution by a majori- ty of three. A Liverpool paper in noticing the proroguing of Parliament, says‘——‘ Upon this occasion, a scene took place very similar to some of those which occurred in the i'eigr. of Charles I. when the con- tests between the King and his Parliament so much agitated the country.’ On the 22d of November, an attempt was made to murder the Duke Dacres, Ex-Minister of the French Marine. The Duke retired to bed about 12 o’clock; shortly afterwards he was blown out upon the floor by an explosion of gtin powder un- dcr the tnatrass. a second detonation succeeded in a few seconds, and the room was in a llat=ne.-- The Duke called his valet, who slept in an adjoin- ing cabinet ; the latter answered ‘I am lost,’;_ and instantly jumped from the window into the street, . a height of 40 feet ; his shrielts brought the sen- tinels to the spot, to whom he declared that some villains had thrown him out of the window. The Duke made his way out of the apartment, and medical aid was immediately procured; it was‘ found that he had the right thigh and arm much burnt. He continues in a suffering state, but no fears are entertained for his life. The firemen. upon examining the apartment, found that several pounds of powder had been deposited between the matresses, and ignited by means of a train which led under the door. Every thing appear- ed to justify the suspicion, that the valet was the author of this horrible design, particularly when it was discovered that Bank Bills had been taken from the Duke’s writing desk to the amount of 9000 francs. He has since died in theihospital of the injury which he received by his fall from the window. ' Twenty-six persons perished in the Oalt_s,\Vest Indiaman, lately lost on Margatc Sands, among Nov. 24.—England will take decisive measures. j mand ofthe Polar Expedition. One oftltem says Polar 1i.'.r]mlz'tz'on.--An0thel' attempt is to be made at further discoveries in the Polar seas.— Captatn Parry, it is said, will have the command. The attempt is not to be in-ade in so high a lati- tude as Lancaster Sound, but to explore the A- merican coast in a southerly direction. The l.ondon editors are very free in their re marks against Captain Ross, who had the com- that Capt. Parry sailed over the Croker Moun- tains (lI:COVCl'€(l by Capt. Ross. After sailing over the Croker Mountains of Capt. Ross, Capt. Parry gave to the continuation of l.antta.ster Sound the name of Barrow’s Sound. On the north side of Barrow’s Sound, the voya- gers discovered a broad channel, up which they could not descry any land, though the weather was clear. To the land, bounded on the west by this unexplored channel, the name of New Devon was given. On the north side of the Sound, they met with another broad inlet (nearly as broad as the sound itself,) on which the name of Regent's Inlet was bestowed. The expedition sailed up this inlet a considerable way. The land opposite to New Devon was denominated New Somerset. Many whales and seals were seen about this part. Other places discovered, received names in liotior of Major Rennell, Captain Sabine, Scc. Among the curious discoveries made, was an American mtisk ox, on Melville Island, the prin- cipal of the groupe of Islands, in a cove of which this enterprising navigator wintercd in l8l9.—— This animal has a large head and shaggy mane, resembling the lion. It was the only one of the species seen during the stay of the expedition at that island. A white hare was the only small an- imal that was met with. It was found upon an- other Island. Partridges were seen in great numbers; and the newly discovered island also abounded with llorescent plants of different uti- known species. The huts, of which some vesti- ges remain, are presumed to belong to some Es- quimaux, whom chance or enterprize may have carried into those inhospitable regions. Numer- ous dresses, canoes, Sic. have also been brought over from BaFlin’s Bay, which are constructed with astonishing natural genius, industry, and neatness. V‘Ve mentioned the only serious casualty which befel the vtintering ofthe’ crews in these high lat- itudes. Ncvertheless the cold was so intense, that the utmost care was necessary to prevent fa- tal consequcnces. An idea of this may be furtnetl from the fact that a servant of Capt. S-abine’s on Some alarm of fire, ran into the air without cover- ing his hand-—it was immediately frost-bitten, and the poor fellow lost three of his fingers. No na- tives were seen, nor any traces of human beings. The following is a most remarkable fact; it is a curious occurrence, not only in the history of England, but of Spain. ‘Some members of the Spanish Cortes, at the period when its sittings first commenced, had formed the design of proposing, in that assembly,‘ the establishment ofa House of Peers, after the manner of England. The question was frequent- ly discussed in private, and also -became the sub- ject oflivcly correspondence between those mem- bers of the Cortes who espoused it, and their friends in England. The proposition was rapidly gaining proselytv.-s when the proceedings against the Queen commenced; and, such was the im- pression made on the minds of those who stip- ported it, by the course of conduct pursued by the House of Lords, that the project was imme- diately abandoned, and a determination adopted never again to revive it.’ CONGRESS. .,_IIoUsE or REPRF.SENTA'l‘IVES——.IaD. 29. __ MISSOURI.

Mr. Lowndes deprecated the motion, as going to present to the house the naked question which it has already decided in the negative, and as pre- venting a decision upon the proposition as it now stands. Mr. Barbour assigned the reasons why he should vote against the motion; himself regard- ing the proviso as useless and unnecessary, but willing to retain it to gratify gentlemen who were -of a different opinion. Mr. Sergeant inquired whether it would be in order, this proviso being stricken out, to move to introduce a different one. The Chairman decided that it would. The question was then taken on striking out the proviso, and decided in the negative, 82 to 54. So the proviso was retained. Mr. Stevens assignedthe reasons why he should vote against the resolution. Mr. Foot moved to amend the resolution by ad- ding to it another proviso, that it be taken as a fundamental condition on which said state is ad- mitted into the Union, that so much of the con- stitution as requires the Legislature to pass laws to prevent the migration of free people of colour thither, shall be expunged from the constitution of the state within two years from this time. in the mode prescribed for amending the Constitution.

Mr. Cobb also assigned the reasons why he could vote for neither'of them. M r. Ross stated the reasons ofhis opposition to the resolution from the Senate in any shape it was likely to assume. M r. l-lardin, in an earnest desire to see the ques- tion sctt|ed,was willing to agree to both amend- ments. ‘ Mr. Rhea, after making some tcnirults, move: the committee should line, with a view to demand- ing the previous question, which would preclude all debate and amendment, and present to the House a nalted and direct question on the resolu- tion from the Senate. .. ’ Mr. Clay earnestly opposed this course, as go- ing to close the door on the spirit ol'accommod'.t- tiou. ‘ "The motion for the committee to rise was neg- allveda by :- large majority. - M"- Clays the". after an earnest appeal to all parts ofthe House to bring to the futttre discus- sion of this subject minds prep-arcti to harmonize, and foretc-r settle this distracting qut-stion to uni- tual satisfaction, and expressing his (lc’:ltC more fttlly to examine Mr. Storr’s ])t'Lzpt‘islll-ll. to see whetli:t' he could bring his mind to asscnt to it, as he wished to do—nto_vcd that the committee now rise. in order to have the several propositions for atuendtnent printed.
