The result of the Missouri Question still
continues to agitate a certain quarter ot
the Union. This might have been expec
ted, not only from the magnitude of the
subject, but from the local prejudices
which it was so well calculated to excite
—Among the many impolitic and highly
reprehensible observations which the vote
on this ill-starr’d discussion has elicited, wi
de not recollect to have read one which
deserves to be so loudly censured ss tilt

Latest from Gibraltar.— An intelligent
and respectable gentleman, who arrived
this mofning. in the brig Metres*, Captain
Noves, in 45 clays from Gibraltar, has obli
gingly communicated to us the folic wing
extracts of a letter from the American Con
sul at Cadiz to the American Agent at
G■« altar -
I he mail from Gibraltar for the North,
was twice stopped and obliged to return
back to Gibraltar, by a guard of soldiers
stationed on the road towards Cadiz, A
boat vas dispatched front Gibraltar for Ca
diz. which had returned a few hours pre
vious to the brig Actress leaving flibraltar,
when the following extract ol a letter dated
Cadiz, Jan. 17, was received.
“1 he Captain General of Andelusiahas
beenarves:ed atliis headquarters in Arcos,
by the revolutionary auny. This body <>♦
troops immediately took up the line oi
march fortius place, and on the 3d inat.
the advanced battalions entered the town
"of San Fernando, in the Isle de Leon, at
10 o’clock in the morning, when they
made the Captain General of the Royal
Marinos a prisoner. In the morning' of die
same day f detachment of 6o men, under
the command of aigofficer, was ordered to
p 'oceed to take possession of a fortress
called the Carla Dura, which commands
■he road betweoff this and the Isla, about
two miles from Cadiz. Gen. Valdes, the
Lieutenant of the King, having heard what
had passed, collected, during the day, a
body of Marine Artillery, from the ships of
war in the bay, ami stationed them in the
on the approach of the soldiers from
the Isla, they were hailed as usual, but
when a parly was about to take place were
fired upon fro to the fortress, and Irom 8 to
10 killed and wounded on the spot; the
remaining soldier then returned to the
Isla; vigorous measures were immediately
taken to render the battery impregnable,
which 1 believe now to be the case. Three
hundred men were sent a few days sin:e
to defend the arsenal of the Caracca near
San Fernandona, but on their arrival, it is
reported they joined the revolted troops
At 2 o’clock on the following morning,
th'« preat navy depot was taken possession
of by the army, together with the line of
battle-ship San-Julien, several other ships
of war, and all the naval officers stationed
there, made prisoners.
“Things hare since that period borne
the appearance «f tranquility, at least in
this city. It is said the whole of the revolt
ed army passed through Port St. Marys; it
consisted of infantry and Horse of Rathes,
flying artillery, amounting to 8,000 men ‘
strong, some say more, the whole under
the command of a Col Quiroga, who Stiles
himself in his proclamation at tne Isla,
“ General in Chief of the Constitutional
Army.” .
“ At the Isla, the Constitution has been
proclaimed, as also at the other places
through which the army passed. The situ
ation of the Isla is such, that such an army
as novd occupies it may defend themselves
against five times its force. —Tke only
question Is, whether the cause will become
national or merely local; it may end in the
former, unless an army of sufficient
strength can be brought at once to sup
press the Insurrection, which at this mo
ment is doubtful, without the Royal Guards
of his Catholic Majesty, Proclamations are
issued daily, stating that an imposing army
is approaching, which will soon defeat the
intentions of the Insurgents; but as yet no
one has appeared to “ disturb or make thofn
a fraid No communication is allowed to
be held with the Isla, consequently our in
formation from thence is limited.”
From the London Statesman of January 31.
Os the princess CaAlinc, now become
queen consort, and for whom a tender sen
timent of sympathy and regard is rising and
fas’ spreading on many grounds, and more
especially on that of having, by the death
of the late king, acquired new constitu

vision of 30,000?. much may be said, and
something must be done. She is without
a certain income to the amount of a single
shilling, because she ceases to be that per

The distressing predicament in which she
stands render* tlje publishing the two fol

During the five years of my long ab.

sure you it has been the first real happy
moments I felt, having received such sat
isfactory information respecting the feel

It has been the most gratifying cpmnumi

1 shall ever continue to deserve (heir good
opinion.—My traducers and enemies in
England have again held secret inquisition
at Milan, through the means of spies and
many old servants, who have been sent
from the house for bad conduct.
A Mr. C , Mr. P , a Colonel B
and Lord S , have been making all
, sorts of inquiry into my private conduct.
My legal advisers were informed of this
in April last, and I should have gone to
London at that period, had I not been oth
erwise advised, it being the wish es my le
gal advisers that they should first see me
in France. I came to Lyons for that pur
pose, and, after waiting anxiously for their
arrival for some weeks, I found they could
not meet me.—The air being too cold for
my health, I took the resolution of fixing
my winter at Marseilles, where I have been
two months, and expected to see my legal
advisers, but 1 have been again disappoint
ed, and Heaven knows when they will be
able to meet me,—l have beep much a
larmed about a rumor relating to our ever
beloved and lamented King’s health; if on
the event of any thing happening to y our
revered Monarch 1 put my only trust in the
generosity of the great nation to protect
m.e from the hands of my enemies. I have
pleasure to inform you, that ajl my debts
iu England haye lately" been paid. ( Caro
