From the Charleston Courier D h inat Bv the fine fast failing ship South Boston, Captain Campbell* in 42 days from Liverpool, we this morning received files of Lcn don papers to the 3d uit. inclu siv< The trial of the Queer, had not yet terminated.— i tie B U of Pams and Penalties was pressed to a se £ond reading in the House of Lords —The debate had lasted two days, in the course of which the Lord Chancellor avowed his convic tion of her guilt, even though the wi oleos the evidence given by Italian witnesses, should be over looked. He was followed by Lord Ersrine, who spoke for foroe time again ft the Bil, and in defence of the Queten’s in liocence ; but was at length so touch overcome from indisposi tion, that he could nor proceed and when contrasting the evidence cf with that given by Dr H Li.and, his Lordship sud denly flopped, and soon after fell forward upon the table in a Lose- Ms itate—The anxiety of the whole house was inftanrly aroused, jfiiK windfaws were thrown open, the Lord Chancellor , Earl of Liver pool, and Earls Gray and Carnar von, with Lord Holland , and Mr, Baron Gar row, hastened to his as sistance, and fncceeded in raising him up, but his colour was gone. They then became feriousSy alarm ed, and immediately proceeded to convey him out of the house, into an adjoining room, where medical aid was immediately procured. After the taps of a hal? an hour, Lord Erskine's indisposition be ing so severe as to prevent his re turn, the house relumed the de bate. November 1. By the packet which arrived ytfterday from Lisbon, we have received letters of the l6:h uit. Marshal Beresford arrived at Lis bon, from Rio Janeiro, a few days previous to that date, in the Veti geur 74, Captain Maitland. His arrival caused a considerable sens ation in the Portuguese capital* Lord Beresford, who appears to have been anxious to obtain per mitsion to land, wrote immediate ly to the government for that pur pose ; but received a polite refu sal, couched under the anxiety they felt lest the person of the Marshal sould be exposed to in suit; and that the consequences might net be confined to him alone, but that a misunderstanding with England, which they were, above all things, most desirous to avoid, might thence be produced. His lordship was not fatiffied with this reply. Ke claimed permis sion to land on account of his health, which had been long indif ferent, and hich required that he should come on shore. He de clared that he felt no apprehen sion, on the score of infult,in any part of Portugal j and that he WASHINGTON, (georgia) FRIDAY DECEMBER 29, 1820. would remove all fears of misun* derttanding with England, by tak ing the whole refponsit>ility 4 upon himself. l'he government, however, closed the negotiation by Hating, that in the exitting circumstances of the country, they could not pos sibly permit Marshal Beresford to land. It was understood at Lis. bon, that Lord Beresford brought with him from Rio Janeiro, addi tional powers from the King, which would have given him a control over the whole kingdom, little short of monarchy ; and this belief, whether weii founded or not seems to have given decision to the refusal to land and to enter the capital. It is remarkable that the money brought by Lord Beres lord from Rio Janeiro in the Yen gear, which was deftiaed to coun teract the < xpecred revolution, has fallen into the hands of the new government. According to the private letters, when the Vengeur arrived, Lord Berresford refused to deliver up the bills of lading, add refsed in the usual manner to the Secretary of the Ireasury, without which the specie could not be claimed. Iwo days sub feqnently to this, however, another velsel from the Brazils anchored ir, the port or Lisbon, with dupli cates of the biiis of lading, which being prefenied to Capt. Maitland, he no longer felt himself empow ered to wit:.hold tire delivery of the specie. Lord Berresford, toge ther with fevtral English Officers of the Army of Portugal, has re turned to England by this packet, l’he letters from Lisbon warmly express tbe feeling of thaukful nefs of the writers that his Lord ship did no; reach Lisbon during the progress of the revolution. We received this forenoon advi ces from Calcutta to the 23d June. We are forty ro hear that tbe Cot ton crops have failed last season in the presidency of Calcutta, and that the year’s production was not expected to exceed 30,C00 bales. LATEST OF SPAIN/ froMm-sicATEI) ion the m: Much a tic Extract of a letter, dated Gibraltar, Sepy ‘2B. “I am therefore but little, if any* wiser in the affairs of Spain than I was when I wrote you last. I have seen and heard enough to sa tisfy me, that that devoted coun try is yet to be a prey td all the horrors of diffracted policy, or to remain buried in the chaos of fan atic barba ism and monkish fuper flition ; as yet, nothing has been dene in the cause of civil liberty Sc national emancipation. The Cor tes, iiilicad of setting about esta blishing anew system, have been foolishly and uselessly engaged re pairing an old one, the very foun dations of which are rotten and un tenable. Puisome adulation a.id childish compliments to the praise and glory of Ferdinand have more engaged the deliberations of the House, than the finances, the commerce, the manufactures, 6c the thousand other et ceteras, which required immediate atten tion, and which the nation and the world expected would have form ed the subjects of their firft and mod Ready and profound legisla r tion. This game has created pow- erful parties against, the conftitu- I tion, because it has shaken the l confidence of the people in those | whom it was expected would be J Mund its fast confiding supporters. 1 The people,tired of looking longer j to the Cortes tor rebel from the thousand difficulties which oppress I them, begin to seek redrels m the I wisdom and vigor ot their own resources—and hence, a system ot the molt public and lawless traffic j is to be found in every town and j province in the kingdom, in rna ny, they absolutely refuse to pay taxes : the monopolies ot the King, TobaccA and Salt, which were wont to be held as sacred as the garments ot their faints, are now as publicly fold as any other merchan dize, and smuggling prohibited goods is hardly more secret & dis guise.,. than the introduction ot the moll favored articles. In fine, ail is anarchy and confusion, and ii cannot be long before ‘ bloodshed mult follow. It would be difficult to lay, at present, what the go vernment of Spain is You will have fecn that lately general liiego and his comrades twice refus.u a positive order of the govern ment. The government in turn striped them of their commissions and put them into banishment without even the form of trial— and this on the very acknowledge ment of a constitution which ie cures that benefit to all as a fun damental and unalienable right ! Os the moral character ct the prese.v gcneiation ot Bpaimpme cefr.ary to the enjoyment and to the capacity for free government, you are better qualified to judge than lam Nay, you have a more prac tical acquaintance. To my mind, it is a barrier not to be overcome ; anew generation mult arise with other h bits and other feelings educated to the contemplation of things diametrically opposite in a moral, Ibcial, religious, political, and philosophical point of view, before any thing can be expected to uphold the great cause of civil libeMy in Spain, or give her a nilpM in the temple of rational freedom. What good tjiey do, I am wil ling and ready to give them cre dit for ; but I look under the present system, with $ hopeless an expaftation-to fee a perfect federal unrtfh formed out of the hetero geneous mass of our stupid anu un lettered blacks. Our affairs have never been thought of—a committee was ap pointed on every subject in the King’s message at the opening of the Cories, but on the unsettled differences with the U. States * Florida you%iil never get by trea ty —and Spain fays, as long as the Emperor of Rufiia will conde scend to give advice on the sub ject, you will never get it at all. lhe United States have tneirown honor in thir own keeping. We have a considerable stir a trongst politicians to day, in con sequence of the appearance off here this morning of the British frigates Active and Cambiian in II days from England, who, hav ing landed defpaiches at Lisbon and this place, proceeded to Me eastward. Theyfucceeded the Pac ket orriy three days, & failed within a few hours of each other from England. There was but a few hours difference in their artival here. There are a thousand stories a float on the occa ion, which it would be useiefs to repeat: a mongst them the escape of Bona parte —and orders to prevent the Americans from occupying Sicify . Something is in the wind, which you perhaps will know as loop as we shall. Os the Portuguese Revolution we get but irregular accounts that can be depended upen. Our last dates stated some oppugnation to be manifefted in fome parts, thit was likely to lead to bloodshed. Their situation is a meft critical one. Without a Protector they cannot succeed ; and to whom are they to look ? To Spain, would appear molt natural from their geographical, physical, ciul mo ral situation: But at present that would be absurd and idle. Eng land is bound to oppose them. What power in Europe can fuc .cor a revolution against legitimate authority.—Take Spain and Por tugal together, then, and think you, in cur lives, the cause of ci vil liberty will be fubserved ?” Extract of a letter from a passen ger on board the frigate Constellation to his friend in the town of Provid ence, (R I J dated August to, 1 820, at Sea , in lat. 33 north, long, 3.3 west. “vve are all well on board, cheerful and happy, the weather fine, though rather warm j yester day we overtook die John Adams —signals having been exchanged, she oore down for us and came undex.our ftera, when her crew, lining*her sfimuds, all well drt Led, cheered the which ceremony was returned from oua ship.
