A'Kv * ha* Spain made any unptvflton on the v o:onies, while in many parts, and parti. ularH' in Venezuela a.id New Grena¬ da, the Colonies have gained llrength and acquired reputation, both for the manage¬ ment of the war, in which they have been fuccefsful, and for the order of the inter¬ nal adminiilralion. The late change in the government of Spain, by the re-efta- blifhmtnt of the conltitutiou of 1S12, is an event which promifes to be favorable to the revolution. Under the authority of the Cortes, the Congrefsof Angoftura was invited to open a negotiation for the fet- tlement of differences between the parties, to which it was replied, that they would willingly open the negotiation, provided the acknowledgment of their independence was made its bails, but not otherwife. Of further proceedings between them we are uninformed. No facts are known to this government to warrant the belief, that any of the powers of Europe will take part in the cent ell ; whence it may be inferred, confidering all circumftances which mult have weight in producing the refult, that an adjutlment will finally take place, on the bafis propofed by the Colonies. To promote that refult by friendly counfels, with other powers, including Spain her- feif, baa been the uniform policy of this government. In looking to the internal concerns of our country, you will, I am persuaded, derive much satisfaction from a view of the several objects to which, in the dis¬ charge of your official dutks, yoi r at¬ tention Mill be drawn. Among these, none holds a more important place than the public revenue, from the direct ope¬ ration of the power, by v. hicli it is rais¬ ed on the people, and by its influence in giving effect to every other power of the government. The revenue depends on the resources of the country, and the fa¬ cility by which the amount required is raised, is a strong proof of the extent of the resources, and of the efficiency of the government. A few promiq*?ntfacts will place this great interest in a just light be¬ fore you. On the 30th of September, 1815, the funded and floating debt of the United States Mas estimated at one hun¬ dred and nineteen millions six hundred and thirty five thousand live hundred and fifty eight dollars. If to this sum be ndded the amount of five per cent stock subscribed to the Bank of the United States, the amount of Mississippi stock, and of the stork which was issued subse¬ quently to that date, the balances ascer¬ tained to be due to certain States, for mi¬ litary services, and to individuals, for supplies furnished, and services "render¬ ed, during the Jate war, the public debts may be estimated as amounting at that date, and as afterwards liquidated, to oue hundred and fifty-eight millions se¬ ven hundred and thirteen thousand foi* ty-nine dollars. On the thirtieth ofSep- tember, 18c20, it amounted to ninety-one millions nine hundred and ninety-three thousand eight hundred and eighty-throe dollars, having been reduced in that in¬ terval by payment?, sixty-six millions eight hundred and seventy-nine thoii'oud one hundred aud sixty-five dollars, lou¬ ring this term, the expences of the go¬ vernment of the United States were 11 ke- wise defrayed, in every branch of the civil, militalyand naval establishments ; the public edifices in this city have been rebuilt, with considerable additions; ex¬ tensive fortiiicalions have been commen¬ ced, and are in train of execution ; per¬ manent arsenals and magazine*have been erected in various parts of the Union ; our navy has been considerably augmen- war, and stores of the army and navy, which were much exhausted during the nar, have been replenished. By the discharge of so large a propor¬ tion of the public debt, and the execu¬ tion of such extensive and important op¬ eration?, in so short a time, a just esti¬ mate may be foimed of the great extent of our national resources. The demon¬ stration is the more complete and grati¬ fying, when it is recollected that the di¬ rect tax and excise were repealed soon after the termination of the late war, and lhat the revenue applied to these purpo¬ ses has been derived almost wholly from other sources. The receipts into the treasury from every source to the 30th Sept. last, hare amounted to sixteen millions seven hun¬ dred and ninety-four thousand, one hun¬ dred and seven dollars and sixty tour cents ; whilst the public expenditures to the same period, amounted to sixteen millions eight hundred and seventy-one "thousand five hundred and thirty-four dollars and seventy-two cents, leaving in the treasujy, on that day, a sum estima¬ ted atone million niue hundred and fif¬ ty thousand dollars. For the probable receipts of the following year, I refer yon to the statement which will be trans¬ mitted from the treasury. The sum of three millions of dollars, authorised to be raised by loan, by an «*ct of the last session of Congress, has been obtained upon terms advantageous to government, indicating not only an increased confidence in the faith of the nation, but the existence of a large a- mount of capital seeking that mode of in¬ vestment, at a rate of interest not ex¬ ceeding five per centum per annum. It is proper to add, that there is now due to the Treasury, for the sale ol pub¬ lic lands, twenty two millions nine hun¬ dred and ninety-six thousand five hun¬ dred and forty-five dollars. Id bringing this subject to view, I consider it my du¬ ty to submit to Congress, whether it may not be advisable to extend to the pur¬ chaser of these lands, in consideration oi the unfavourable change which has oc¬ curred since tht sales, a reasonable in¬ dulgence. Tt is known that the purcha¬ ses were made when the price of every article had risen to its greatest height, and that the Instalments are becoming due at a period of great depression.—It is presumed that some plan may bedevi- sed, by tho wisdom of Congress, com¬ patible with the public interest, which would afford great relief to the purcha¬ sers. Considerable progress has been made during the present session of examining the coast and its various bays, and other inlets; in the collection of materials, and in the construction of fortiluutions, Tor the defence of the union; at several of the positions, at which it has been de¬ cided to eiect such works.—At Mobile Point and Dauphin Island, and at the Kigolets, leading to Lake Pouchariraiu, materials to a considerable amount have been collected, and all the necessary preparations made for the commence¬ ment of the works. At Old Point Com¬ fort, at the mouth of James River, and at the Rip-rap on the opposite shore, in the Chesapeake Bay, materials to a vast amount have been collected ; and at the Old Point some progress had been made in the construction of the fortification, which is on a very extensive scale. The work at Fort Washington, on this river, will be completed early the next spring : and that on the Pea-putch, in the Dela¬ ware in the course ol* the next season. Fort Diamond, at the Narrows, in the harbour of New Voik, will be finished this year. The works at Boston, New- York, Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston, and Niagara, have been in part repaired: arid the coast of North Carolina,extend¬ ing south to Cape Fear, has been exam¬ ined, as have likewise other parts of the coast eastward of Boston* Great exer¬ tions have been made to push forwaid the^e works with the utmost dispatch possible ; but, when their exteut is con¬ sidered) with the important purposes tor which they are intended, the defence of the whole coast, aud, in consequence, ol the whole interior, and that they are to last for ages, it will be manifest that a well digested plan, founded on military principles, connecting the whole toge¬ ther, combining security with economy, could not be prepared without repeated examinations of ihe most exposed and difficult parts, aud that it would also take considerable time to collect the materi¬ als at the several points when-they would be required. From all theliiiht that has been shed on this subject I am satisfied that every favourable anticipation which has been formed of this great underta¬ king, will be verified, aud that, when completed, it will afford very great, if not complete, protection to our Atlantic frontier, in the event of another war ; a protection sufficient to counterbalance in a single campaign, with an enemy powerful at sea, the expense of all these works, without taking into the estimate the saving of the lives of so many of our citizens, the protection of our towns aud Other pro pi-ity, or the tendency of such works to | re vent war. Our military positions have been main¬ tained at lielle Point, on the Arkansas, at Council Bluff, on the Missouri, at St. Peter's on the Mississippi, and at Green 8a v, on the Upper Lakes* Commodious barracks have already been erected at most of these posts, with such works as were necessary for their detente. Pro¬ gress has also been made in opening com¬ munications between them, and in rais¬ ing supplies for each for the support of the troops, by their own labour, parlicu- With the Indians peace has been pre- served, sod a progress made in carrying into effect the act of Congress, making an appropriation for their civilization, Kith the prospect of favourable results. As connected equally with both these ob¬ jects, our trade with those tribes is thought to merit the attention of Congress.— In their original state, game is their suste¬ nance, aud war their occupation ; and if they find no employment from civilized powers, they destroy each other. Left to themselves, their extirpation U. inevi¬ table. By a judicious regulation of our trade with them, we supply their wants, administer to their cemfoits, and gradu¬ ally, as the game retires, draw them to us. By maintaining posts fur in the in¬ terior, we acquired more thorough and direct control over them ; without which if is confidently believed that a complete change iu their manners cun uever be accomplished. By such posts, aided by a proper regulation of our trade with them, aud a judicious civil administra¬ tion over them to be provided for by law, we shall, it is presumed, be enabled not only to protect our own settlements from their Savage incursions, and prescrvepeace among the several tribes, but accomplish also the great purpose of their civiliza¬ tion. Considerable progress has also been made iu the construction of ships of war, some of which have been launched iu the course of the present )ear. Our peace with the powers on the coast of Barbary has been preserved, but we owe it altogether to the presence of our squadron in the Mediterranean. It has been found equally necessary to employ some of our vessels, for the protection of our commerce iu the Indian sea, the Pa¬ cific, and along the Atlantic coast. The interests which we have depending in those quartern, which have been much improved of late, are of great extent, and of high importance to the nation, as well as to the parties concerned, and would undouhtidly .suffer, if such protection was not extended to them.

JAMES MONHOK. Washington^ November 11, 1880. Cll \R! l*T0V, NOV. 12. By the ship lashplla, Capt, MacNeale, from London, wo have received London | papers to the fill* Oct. inclusive—two days later than the accounts by the Im¬ porter, at New York from Liverpool. Some extracts from which follow. We Irani verbally by this arrival, that the expectation was general in London, that the bill of pains aud penalties against the Queen, would pass both houses of par¬ liament ; but there was nevertheless such a strong feeling in her favour through* out the country, that the government would be afraid to adopt any hostile measure towards her. London, Oct. C. The proceedings against the Queen yesterday are interesting from two cau¬ ses : from the commencement of the ex¬ amination of the evidence for the de¬ fence ; and, if we look to the interior proceedings, from that evidence being at once respectable, and conclusively fa¬ vourable. Unfortunately, the nation has for some time been familiarized to an ex¬ amination in support-of a cause, which cause*even were the evidence conclusive, must have been ruined by the character of those who gave it. We have now at lust come to evidence that may be be¬ lieved. The manners of the Countess of Oldi were inquired into,—they were found chaste and modest. It was at last ask¬ ed whether she had not a Milanese brogue, as if the Queen of England, a German by birth, and an English woman in St* lion, were a judge of that. But is the a Scotchman or an Irishman about tl British Court, that dues not speak with a brogue ? We eo.-ld instance one of the most intelligent mrmbeis of that very Il-nise before which the investigation takes place. But in this slate ivihe cross examination, which, it is obvious, so far as it goes, leaves the examination in chief perfectly untouched. Tor the accommodation of those rea¬ ders whose time is so employed that they cannot toil through the evidence, we tub- join a brief abstract :— 1. The Clerk of the Queen\ Solicitor proved that the chamberlain of the Grand Duke of Baden, though anxious to come ovi r as u witness for the Queen, yet was afraid lest he should offend his Sovereign. 2. Col. St. Lrger proved that ill health was the sole cause of his having the Queen's service, after 1 I years—from 1808 to 1819, 3. Lord Guilford visited the Queen at Naples, and saw her in company with his sister at Rome, Civ'vta Vicehia, aud Leghorn. Her conduct perfectly pro¬ per—no familiarity with Bcrgami. Vi¬ sited the Queen at Villa dT.-te; saw her in a boat with Bergnmi, who n wed it : dined with the Queen — Bergami and Madame Oldi sitting at tabic -Rerga- mi's manner* perfectly unobtrusive.— The Queen's towards him no? such as to call for any particular observation. Madame Oldi's language good Italian, with a slight Milan accent. She did not leave on Lord Guilford's mind that he had been conversing (he conversed but little) with a vulgar jouuui.. Bcrgami did not appear superior to the situation which he had formerly rilled. -J. Lord Gleobervio met the Queen at Genoa ; L«4j ^Vicn'bervie volunteer¬ ed to act as Lady o( Bedchamber, un¬ til the arriTal of Luiv Charlotte Camp¬ bell ; the best co.n)p.UlV :U Genoa at the Queen's house, ubePC jj0V$ Glen- bervie frequently srlla,j ,lifn hi, hxAy% Bcrgami treated as... servant, without am undue famjtiarii) : he behaved towards his rriMress with becoming respect. 5. Lath Cha.Ioti,c Lindsay quitted the Queen at Brunswick, according to an agreement made before she left England in 1S1 t. In March 1813, saw and at¬ tended her at Naples, uherc all the En¬ glish of distinction, and many Neapoli¬ tans, and other foreigners of rank, visit¬ ed her majesty, and frequented her table; accompanied the queen to Rome, Cevita Vecchia, and Leghorn ; left her majes¬ ty there to have the advantage of her brother's the present Earl of^Guilford, escort lo England ; never saw any un¬ becoming familiarity with Bergami ; re¬ signed the Queen's service in 1S17, iu consequence of the advice of her bro¬ ther. The affair of the Mariettas of Milan was brought forwaid a^ain ; and Lord Liverpool allowed that the matter of Colonel Brown now required further in¬ vestigation. Extract of a letter dated Oporto, Sep¬ tember 16- The Constitutional army,about 18,000 men, are now assembling near Combra, from whence they move on the 20th in three divisions towards Lisbon, from which place, letters mention their arri¬ val was only waited, for the inhabitants and troops to join them. The members of the new government had left Oporto for Combra, and the garrison of Oporto was composed of n.ilitia 'regiments which were under the commaud of Gen. Aires Ponto. Extract of a private Letter—Sept. 26. The Revolution is completely accom¬ plished in Portugal, notwithstanding all the .Hoi Is of the regency of Lisbon, and the proclamation w.nch it issued on the 15th infant, whi.h declared that the mass of the population was iu arms a- gainsf the insurgents ol Oporto. The I.6th legiment of infantry of the Line, which had boon ordered lo their bar¬ racks, although it was a day of grand pa¬ rade, decided the insurrection of Lisbon. On the 16th, about 4 o'clock in the af¬ ternoon, the capt. of the 7th company made an harangue to the soldiers, in which he invited them to break the order of the members of the regency. Then this regiment, with its chief at its head, proceeded to the square of Liocio, whi¬ ther if was soon followed by the rest of the troops of all kinds ; infantry, aitil- lery, marines and militia,all manifesting the same sentiments, as the iusurgents of Oporto. A new regency was nominated. It is composed of the following individuals, with the title of Excellency—Freire, Count of San Payo- the Count llesende, Count de Peiviiailel, Lieutenant General Mathias, Joseph Dias Accdo, and Bran- camp. The name of the last sounded ill, in the ears of the people, who asked whether the father or the son was meant. Upon the answer that it was the son, ap¬ probation was expressed. This regency seems ouly ad interim^ till the Junta of Oporto arrives. The whole was done in the name of King John VI- to the cries of vivas for the house of Bragan/a, for religion, kc. Orders were sent to the Tower of Be- lem, at the bar of the river, to allow no vessel to sail without the authority of go- vernmont. The above news, which I give you out of a Spanish publication, is official- The English who were in Portugal have not had to suffer any indignity* The military have been asked not to wear the uniform of their nation. New-York, Nov. 24. Laic from England. The fliip Martha, Capt. fikctchley, has jnft arrived from Liverpool, whence (he failed on the morning of the I ith of Oc¬ tober.

The latenefs of the hour prevents us from giving detailed ac¬ counts. The Counfcl for the Qneen concluded their addrefles to the Houfe of Lords on the 5th of O&ober, and proceeded to bring forward their witneffes on her Majefty's bch;.:f. Fourteen or fifteen witnefles have been examined. Among thefc are Col. St. Le- ger, Lord Guilford, Lord Glenbervie, Lord Landoff, Hon. Keppel Craven, Lady Charlotte Undfey, and others. The Sta'cfnan, (an oppofition paper,) f?ys 14 the evidence of thefc honorable perfonages will be highly favorable to her Majefty. We have not had time to perufe the teftimony furnifhed by this arrival, and are therefore unable to fpeak of its general cha.McTter. Addrcfles continue to come in to her Majcdy, to each of which (he promptly returns an anfwer, well calculated to pleafc the people. On the 5th of October, before proceed¬ ing with the trial of the Queen, Lord Holland called the attention of the Houfe of Lords to the fituation of political af¬ fairs upon the continent. He dated that warlike preparations of a moft cxtenfivc nature were carrying on in Atiflria, and it was alfo avowed that the objedh againfl whom tliofe preparations were intended, were the people of Maples.

In the conrfe of his reply, Lord Liverpool faid, " that there was not the lead intention of interfering in the af¬ fairs of the States of Italy ;" and that the Government of this Kingdom had entered into no engagement whatever, of any de- fcription, for fuch a purpafe. From the Liverpool Courier, of Oct- 11. The Queen.—The defence of her Ma jtfly has commenced, and, that we may afford as much room as poffible for the grat'fication of our readers by as large a report of the evidence as poflible, we fhall omit, at prefent, any remarks of our own. We may gather from the fpeeches of her Majefty's COuOfel, that their object will be to prove, from refpeSable perfons, that, as far as they Lad the opportunities of obfer- vation, (he was guilty of no impropriety of conduct ; and to difprove fo much of the evidence already given, as to overturn the character of the reft. The firft will prove little : the fecond is the point. This it what the country is waiting for. If thh be done, we fhall be among the firft to a) low that the cafe in fltaken. We abhor the proceedings of faction ; we lament and condemn the courfe of conduct the Queen has taken under the influence of men, of the word defigns ; but we ate anxious, that, if innocent, her innocence fhould be made to appear, London, Oct. 7. The Honfe of Lords this forenoon has been occupied chiefly with the examination of the valel of the Hon. Keppel Craven. Oi.e of the obje&j of tin's examination has been to fhew the meretricious character of the celebrated witnefs, Demont; his inter- views with her while locked up, by her, in her bed-chamber, &c. Another aim was to have expofed the mendacious character Of he- friend Majocchi. A difcuffion of lonw length and importance arafc as to a converfation, which the valet had held with Majocchi, refpcciiiig the conduct ol Baron Ornpteda. This kind of examination was objected to on the ground that Majocchi had not given evidence on the fubjiicJ of the Baron. Mr. Brougham contended that Majocchi had been queltiorud a5 to a fact which he pretended he did net remem¬ ber ; nnd that this Non mi rkordo wus al¬ leged, in order to conceal the truth. It was not probable or potuble that this for- getfulnefs could have actually taken place, for Mr. Brougham could prove that Ma¬ jocchi was not only prefent when the fadl occurred, but even held a cpnverlation fub« fequently refpefling it.—Statesman. London, Oct. 5. As foon as the decree relative to the fupprcfTton of the Jefuits, had been offi¬ cially publiflnd, their fchools were fliut, and all their fcholare fent home. The names of Don Ju3n Dias Porlier, and of Don Luis I-afcy, are to be inferib ed on tlfe tablet of " the worthy letvants of their country." This tablet will be placed in the Hall of the Cortes. From Madrid we have accounts, dated the 22d ult. that the difcuflton on thr fubjeft of the Spanifh refugees in France had lafted three days, and had been termi¬ nated the day befoie by a majority ol 1 \z votes to 29. All the refugees return to their own country, with the entire reditu, tion of their property and civil rights. From Rome, it ia dated, that the Pope had been carneftly folicited, on the part of the Cabinet of Vienna, to co-operate in the edablifhment of a confederation of all the princes of Italy. From Spain we learn, that the Corte» had received AddrelTes from a number of the Municipal Bodies throughout the kingdom, congratulating them upon the fupprtffion of the feditioui movement* which threatened the capital on the 7th oi laft month. It is faid that the Political Chief of Murcia had arrciled the Superior of a Dominican Convent in that city, tiona ready printed, exciting the people to a counter-revolution, and apprizing them that foreign troop* had ariived to refcuc the King from his prefent thraldom. Jluthor of the Scotth Novels.—The London Magazine, for the month of October, asserts. on what the editors deem unquestionable au¬ thority, " that Mrs. Scott, formerly Mis3 M'CulIoch, the Lady ofThomas Scott, Esq. Pay-master to the 70th regiment, at present in Cairada, and brother to Sir Waiter Scott, is the writer of these Novels, and not Mr. Thomas Scott himself, as lately erroneously staled." ' Extract of a letter from Batavia to a genth. man in Boston* dated June 20, 1820. •' The attention of the government for a conftderable time has been taken up in their Palembang expedition. The failure of that of the laft year was attended with confiderable lofs of men, not in battle, but by the raging jungle fever of that unwhole- fome place. Having gone there too late, in the feafon, the landing was rendered in- acceffible by the deluge of rain, and wet marfhy grounds ; and the expenfes have been great. The quarrel originated by the Rcfident of that place, a Mr. Muntin- gui, in taxing the Sultan until his refour- ces were almoft exhaufted, together with a llrong defire to infringe upon the Sultan's territories, which the Sultan could not en¬ dure, and drove the Dutch away to a man, with the exception of a couliderablc num¬ ber who were flain.—Since that period, the Sultan has fortified the borders of the river, erecting floating batteries, and put the river in fuch a ftate of defence, that it •villi-yiiK*£i)t^'i<JK-<iirf.!^Ati>cVu£icr? p&ttSm Aon of that fettlement can be re-taken.— All thefc preparations have been executed by two French deferters from their own troops. One is faid to be a capable engi¬ neer, having ferved under Napoleon.— There has been a confiderable buttle of late, refpefting a fecond expedition, but for want of fufficlent troops it has been de¬ ferred until a new importation which i9 daily expected from Holland ; unlefs they foon arrive, the expedition, we are to!dr will be put off, as the feafon is far advan¬ cing. Nearly all the troops in the ifland at prefent are Belgians and French, and there appears a great diffatiafaftion among them, fo much fo, that the few Dutch troops in wh«m they can confide, are pro¬ vided with two rounds of cartridges, and are kept in readinefs in cafe of furprife. The government, though under the direction of one of the beft of men, has been moll un¬ fortunate. They have experienced within a few years immenfe lofles. Several fhip- ments to Europe, of nearly fix millicns of Rupees, have be*n loft by wrecks, and this year in two (hipments to the Eaftern Ifl- ands, of 150 and 1 6o,oco dollars, it has fuftained a lofs by pirates and wrecks.__ The moft able man of this government, in which he was a member of counfel, died the laft month ; a man well known by all the Americans who have vifited Java (Mr. Van Oraam) ; this death is fevcrely felt by this government. The pirates have been very numerous this year, and fo dar¬ ing that a cargo boat, loaded with fugar apparatus, was captured three miles only from this harbor. Although many Ame¬ ricans have had the good fortune to efcape thefe robbers, still they run great risk, in general, being fo {lightly armed. Salem, Nov. 21.
