GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.

London papers of the 30th of July. Parliament having adjourned, the English papers are chiefly made up of their common matter, such as trials for crimes, crim. con. cases, and boxing matches. The following brief notice takes in every | thing in anywise interesting which has reached us The papers have many speculations about the queen. We have new indications that she is the favorite of the people. She is preparing for her defence.

"I am sensible of the indignities with which I have been assailed, not so much because they are disrespectful to myself, as because they are insulting to the nation; for the nation has been insulted in the late outrages upon the character of its lawfulqueen. Though I am attacked by that malice which hesitates at no falsehood, and by an assumption of pow er which seems to spurn all limitation, I feel a cheering confidence of present support, and of eventual triumph in the affections of the people.

"I have been accused of appealing to popular clamor--but I appeal to nothing but to the good sense and good feeling--to the reason, the morality and the patriotism of the most enlightened and most respectable portion of the community. If I um condemned without justice, and dethroned against all law, the liberties of every individual will receive a fatal stab; and the character of the highest judicature will be blasted to the latest posterity.

"My own personal welfare is of little moment; but I do feel as a queen for the public welfare, which is deeply implicated in the vindication of my violated rights.

From Naples we have little additional news. The new state of things had not suffered any change until the 10th of July; its effect in Sicily was not known.

In Prussia the people begin to clamor for a constitution, so long promised to them by the king. There have been considerable riots at Berlin, and the military (the grand royal argument!) was called out to convince the people that they ought not to have liberty. The tumult lasted several days-but it seems that "order" was restored.

SPAIN.

Translated for the National Gazette. Cortes Sitting, July 10.-The committee appointed yesterday to prepare the answer of the cortes to the discourse of the king, presented, by the hands of their chairman, count Toreno, the follow ing, which was adopted:

Answer-The deputies of the nation, assembled in cortes, congratulate themselves, in common with your majesty, on the arrival of that period so ardently desired by all the good, when, your majesty being re-united to the nation by the solemn and voluntary oath, they can carry up to the throne the expression of their feelings, and testify to your majesty their loyalty to your royal person and family, and their lively desire to carry into full effect, in concert with your majesty, the political constitution of the monarchy, and to meliorate, as the condition of the national affairs imperatively demands, all branches of the public administration.

in the like manner to restore and confirm national credit, relying upon the zeal and ability of the se cretary of the department of finances, for the suggestion of those great and now indispensable expedients by which the public debt may be extinguished altogether, and the engagements of the nation, or its government, with foreign and native capitalists, be religiously discharged-measures that cannot fail, in re-establishing credit, and converting those capitalists into a sure reliance for the future, to enable the nation to mould at leisure a system of taxation, and establish it with the least possible prejudice and inconvenience to the people.

The cortes hope also that the vigilance of your majesty's government, and the integrity of the Spanish magistrates, will assure the good and prompt administration of justice; the daily improvement of which is to be expected, as it is now subjected to more stable rules, and especially when our code acquires the simplicity and perfection suitable to, the lights of the age, and when the establishment of the trial by jury, designated in the constitution, shall give to all citizens this new and essential guaranty of their freedom.

The domestic administration of the country, confided to the citizens themselves immediately interested in its prosperity, will destroy inveterate abuses, and put an end to the embarrassments which these have created. The easy communication of ideas afforded by the liberty of the press, while it renders common, and rapidly diffuses, useful knowledge, will convert all minds to the wisdom of the municipal system which the constitution prescribes.

The cortes will contribute efficaciously to the melioration and government of the army and fleet; and, in consulting in their measures respecting them, what is best for the nation, will labor partiFrom the moment that your majesty, assenting to cularly to promote the welfare and happiness of the general and unequivocal wish of the people, classes so meritorious as the military and naval. concluded freely and spontaneously to take the They flatter themselves that the ministers of your caths to the political constitution of the monarchy, majesty will adopt their plans for the organization as sanctioned by the general and extraordinary cor- of the army to the constitutional system, keeping tes of the year 1812, we could anticipate days of in view the important services which that distinglory and prosperity for the Spanish race; the na- guished order of citizens has rendered, in the glotion having, with this act, recovered its rights, and rious war of our independence, and also, in the your majesty legitimated the throne, so that nothing career of firm and liberal devotion to that fundacan disturb the mutual confidence which is hereaf-mental law by which the throne and the rights of ter to prevail between your majesty and his sub-the nation are alike fixed and secured. jects.

The cortes are fully satisfied of the wretched condition of the finances, and in seeking the necessary ways and means to meet the public obligations and exigencies, will do all that is possible to lighten the burdens of the people. They will exert themselves

closer such friendly relations. They have only to regret that some differences exist between the United States of America and his most faithful majesty: But the principles of justice and moderation which will now regulate our diplomatic negocia tions, give hope to the cortes that they may be concluded on terms, which, the issue being reputable for the nation, shall not interrupt the pacific system agreed upon between the nations of Europe, to the maintenance of which system the cortes will con

If the regency of Algiers, regardless of subsisting compacts, should return to its old course of misrule and aggression, the national congress cannot do less than wish that the ministers of your majesty may adopt the measures necessary to cause the flag of nations sailing in the Mediterranean, to be respected, and to assure thus the freedom of commerce and navigation.

"Have you curity to either property or lives, as there are any witnesses?" said the emperor to the French-scarcely two persons of the same sentiments, or can man, "No."-"So much the worse for you; you tell who governs; in which state there is no safety should have taken care to have had witnesses-you or order; but to render it more serious, there was may retire."

The children of Israel all thronged to the French merchant, and before evening the articles were purchased at any price he chose to demand for them.

their intention to be solely to put Aliviar at the head of the military establishment of Buenos Ayres. Dorego is now governor of Buenos Ayres; La Madrid and Martin Rodriguez, commanding the patriot troops, under him-they have about 3,000 troops.-On the 10th July, they attacked Aliviar, and his confederates, and it was reported he had gained the victory.

All business was suspended at Buenos Ayres and had been for three weeks, anticipating Aliviar's at

More of them. After several days of active search, Mr. Hays, the high constable, has detected and secured a gang of counterfeiters. He caught two persons actually at work on bills of the Merchants' bank of two and three dollars. They are committed. Mr. Hays had several officers with him at the time.

Capt. Almeran, in the privateer Bolivar, lately met with an American vessel at sea (the Mary, of Portsmouth, N. H.) which was short of provisions, and extended to her the most friendly assistance.

But within six minutes, his power of speech was gone, his eyes became blind, and he died without a struggle

We have a long and interesting letter on this subject-the fact of shooting and killing appears to be true; but he who is represented as a robber bears the character of a man seeking this unlawful mode to avenge himself of a dishonor to his bed and foul treatment from the person who was guilty of it, by whom he was almost murdered, at his own bed side. We have no direct interest in this thing but to correct what now appears to be an error.

A salt spring, very powerful, has been discovered within ten rods of the great canal in New-York, 21 miles east of the Salina springs. Its location will render it exceedingly valuable. It is called the "Erie canal spring," and is already worked.

Linen. A piece of linen, in imitation of fine Irish shirting, manufactured by Mrs. Luther Smith, of Middlebury, N. Y. was purchased by a store keeper at one dollar and a half per yard. It is spoken of as a first rate piece of goods.

Transport of slaves. The master of a vessel trading from Norfolk, has been fined 500 dollars, and also sentenced to pay 750 more as the value of a negro man, who presented a certificate of emancipation (which proved to be a forgery), and was in consequence permitted to take his passage in the vessel to New York.
