(r> The Land Littery commenced draw
ing last Friday. About 200 prize* an
drawn daily- Several valuable prize* have
come out—the number of peraons entitled
to draw* is something upwardk of 68,000;
there are near 23,000 prizes— lew than 2
blanks to api ice. The drawings of the
lottery will not hr completed in leas than 3
•r 4 months—Someol our subscribers have
expressed a wish that a list of the fortunate
drawers should be published in the news
paper. A moment’s reflection might sat
isfy them that this is not practicable, as the
weeks drawing would occupy nearly the
whole paper—To give speedy and correct
information to fortunate drawers, the Gov
ernor will have printed lis's sent by mail,
from time to time, as they can be publish
ed. to some public officer in each county,
lor ihe inspection of all concerned. Sheets
in pamphlet f nn, containing a correct
list of fortunate draw-*, their residence,
the number of the tract of land drawn b)
each, and the district and county in which
•it lies, will be printed weekly at this of
fice, ami forwarded by mail or otherwise
as directed to those who subscribe for
them. The price, five Hollars, for the
sheets comprising the whole drawing, to
be paid in advance.
The persons shipwrecked in the French

of the most grevious servitude. At the ear
nest .instance of the French ami Port.it

pei or of Morocco caused the captives to be
ransomed, with funds advanced by the
French government. M Gochelet, one
of the numb r, is about to publish at Paris
• full narrative of the shipwreck, am! of his
subsequent horrible journey across the de
sert. As the circumstances under wbic
this writer was placed, on his captivity,
are the same as those in which our coun
trymen, capt. Uiley, found himself, and
which he has related in so interesting «
manner, an opportunity will be afford d of
testing the account of each, by that of tin
other —perhaps the best of standards
We oygltt to note that,since the publica

NEW ORLEANS, August 3,
The Friend of the Lazos, front this day
will be issued only three times in each
wefk until the 3lsl of October next, at
' trftich period it* daily publication will be
resumed. The following motives, the
force of which will be, no doubt, appie
already made its appearance,— the city
begins to be deserted by the merchants
and other—business of every kind is at a
stand, and the health of persons attached
to our establishment, which would be
endangered at this season by excessive
confinement and labor: such are the ex
cuses which yve offer to an indulgent
public, and will, we hope, be accepted.

OF THE SUN AND SOLAR SYSTEM.
It has long since been generally admit
ted as a fact, that the Sun is immovably
fixed in the centre of its own plsm-tory
system From the dark spots visible on
the surface of the sun, it has however,
bent ascertained that that limimu-y re
•valveson its axis once in about 23 days
This consideration, together with several
others which might he adduced. In s in
clined sortie modern astronomns to sup
pose that the sun mus have b sides its
Tot!di"ii on its axis, a constant and fu.
rrcstive motion : ami that it is continually
progressing towards some fin d point in
the universe, or moving in an orbit incon
ceivably vast accompanied by tile eorres
pondent motion of its whole attendant
system. Recent observations and disco,
veries have strengthened the opinion.)!
the progressive motion of the suit ; and
it is now thought by many that the yyholc
system is regular!) progressing in a course
marly in the direction of the cons'- ll»- |
tion Hercules Should this he proved 'o ,
be correct, if would doubtl.';ss lead to I |
more thorough researches in avtronomy, ,
and would probably result in the for- a- i
tion of a theory, differing, in some of its ;
essential features, from that which n.-vv .
generally prevails. It has be. n briefly
suggested by some able philosophers, that |
the sdarsystem,together with all the in- ,
. numerable sons and systems in the ini
mei.se labyrinth of Nature, may he linked
together by om common tie, and thus
constitute one grand assemblage, or sys- i
teni of systems, which is perpetually ft
volving in its united capacity around the
common axle or centre of the Universe, ,
It is not a little surprising that at this age
of knowl- dge and inquiry, the science »u (
astronomy should be so generally neglect
ed. It is much to be hoped that the turn \
is nut far distant, when the attention of
literary men will be more generally direct- j
ed to this great and interesting subject, ,
and when a more thorough and finished ,
theory respecting the sun and solar sys- i
tern shall be adopted.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.
Late from Europe. ,
Tke fast sailing ship Minerva Smith,
Capt Bkrskt, arrived at this port last
evening, in 30 days from Liverpool. Tlu
news by this arrival is eleven days later
from London and Liverpool, than has be
fore been received. The Editors of the
Commercial Advertiser have received a
few scattering papers, from the 16tb to
the 30th July. Also a few Prices Current
and Shipping Lisis. Rut they have no*
received anv thing like their uaual supply
of panel's. The Hrclor, Captain Gillan ler,
■ailed in con«p»nv with the MinCrvra-Smith,
and we learn that she brings out letters,
regu ar files of paper*, and the periodica!
works with which we are regularly furnish
ed by on- Corresnondema. We have col
lected from our foreign papers, and from
the morning papers, all the new* furnish
ed by tbi* arrival. J
W« of coarse, anftot now npecl uiy 1
thing of importance in regard to the sf- <
fairs of the Queen. The tnsl, or in other I
words, the second resiling of the bill of |
divorce, having been put off to the 17ut
of August, the House of Lord* have ad- t
jourm clto that period, and the House of '
Commons to the 21*t of August Our
readers will therefore content themselves j
for the present, in the expectation of mi
portaut information about the middle of
October. The Queen has taken a resi
dence for six months. In the mean time
addresses from various parts of the. King
dom continue to pour in upon her Majesty
In answer to one of these, she holds the
following language:—“l feel no inquie
lude about the present attack on my honor
and peace The charges in 18d6 origin
ated in malice, and had no other support
than perjury. The charges in 1820 will
he equally destitute of proof.”
" I should have been humiliated beneath
contempt if I had suffered my character to
become an ass air of pecuniary calculat ion.
I should instantly have been deprived ol
(lie self respect which is the basis of vir
Hie, as well as forfeited the esteem of tins
noble nation, if in a late attempt at nego
ciation on the part of my accusers I had
exhibited a spirit uiiyvurihy of a British
Queen If there can be any satisfaction
in what is sordid in sentiment and debus
ed in conduct, I willingly resign that to
llie pusilanimity of my adversaries.”
The Common Council of London have
remonstrated against the proceedings of
the house of lords, in regard to their
treatment of the quer n. Sundry resolu
tions were passed, and corresponding re
monstrance yvas actually presented to the
House of Commons.
All the Italian witnesses summoned by
riie Ministry, to testify against the Queen,
nave been sent to the Continent. This
measure was adopted to secure them a
gainst the insults of the mob. They are
quartered by the British Ambassador near
’he Hague, until they shall be wanted. —
II is said, that they had the most to tear
from the insults and assaults of the women,
who stand forth with the most resolution
in vindication of the rights and privileges
ofthe sex.
We should infer that the ministry were
by no means satisfied with the fidelity and
loyalty ofthe populace, in case they shutiul
find it necessary to proceed to extremities
with ihr Queen. Additional troops have
been culled for to secure the peace of the
capital, and to guard the immense stores
of the East India Company, together with
twenty five thousand stand of arms, b. -
longing to rind hotly. In case of an insur
rection, tin seizure of these arms and
stores would be of powerful service to the
discontents
In Uie House of Lords, on the 22d of
July, before they proceeded to business,
the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke
of Montrose, ami the Earl of Liverpool,
and several voters look a minute survey of
the seals for the purpose of ascertaining
the number they would hold with refer
ence to the trial of the Queen. By the
present anang'cmeiit the house is calcu
lated to contain 200 Peers. Orders were
given to make additional seats for 30U
Peers.
On the 24th, Cord Etskine presented a
petition ti uin the queen, requesting to be
furnished with a ust of witnesses agains*
her : a specification ofthe places in which
the criminal act* were charged to have
liven committed, and a . eques» to be heard
hj her counsel at the bar oft heir lordships.
Lord Kiskiue hoped that the last request
would not be refused Alter speeches
from the lord Chancellor, lord Holland, the
Earl of Liverpool, lord King, Eavl Bath
ursi, and Lord E. skine, who concluded by
moving, “ That counsel be now heal'd at
the liar in support of the petition,” the
House then divided upon the motion—
lion-contents, 37 ; contents 12—majority
25, against tbe motion.
Tile debate relative to the plate of the
Queen, the commence .nenl of which wo
give on Momlnv last, was renewed in the
HiUse wf Commons on the 17th of July.—
I h>‘ discussion is represented as having
been quite warm and animated. Doctor
l.osbiugton, the Queen’s new counsel, was
no' only very boisterous, but vulgar, says
die Courier, in his epithets against Minis
ters. Lml Castlereagh was cutting in h s
reply, and observed that the Queen haa
Condescended to listen to the meanest ad
risers, and bad descended from the digni
y and honor of the crown. In ans-.er to
lie demand ot Dr. I .usliinglon, upon this
■object. Ins lordship stated that the plate
n question is Crown Plate, merely lent to
ier Majesty by the late King, for her ac
toinmodsitoii while resident at Kensington
*al«ce, and that the late King neither did i
mr could make an absolute present of it i
■anyone. His lordship added, that her j
■lajesty had several times preferred the u
.tine claim, ami tiad received the same am i
wcr. This explanation appeared satisfac
ury to the bouse, ami Dr. LdShingiou’s ■
u nion was negatived without a division.
I'he opposition papers continue their '
buse of the ministry, on account of ttteir
mploying foreign witnesses against the
iueeu. To this it is replied with much
daiisibilily, what witnesses should they
■mpiuy, since her majesty either could
lot retain any British subjects inherent
iloy, or else she purposely drove them
ram her household.
The Queen Lad sent a communication
u the House of Lords, stating her intern
ion to he present every day during the
nvestigation which is to take place, and
questing that a seat may be provided so
ituated that she may hear distinctly all
nc evid> nee that may be produced.
In the House of Commons on the 18th, i
the day previous to the adjournment,) (
’!■. Boxum moved for papers that have |
mine to the Presidency relating to the |
mrning or interment of Hindoo women •
vith the remains of their husbands. Or- j
tered. Mr. Plunkett said, be had several i
<-man Catholic petitions, but lie should (
leilher present them, nor bring forward 'i
my motion sn the suubjecl this season, t
>wiug to the embarrassing and momentous
piestioit which now agiiated Parliament
uul the public. The Speaker presented (
i petition from Henry Grattan, Esq com r
riaining of an undue return so. Dublin at 1
he last election.
The same day, in the House of Lords, a
he Earl of Lauderdale concluded severs- >
ibservatiuns respecting Sir Thomas Mail- f
and and the lonian Islands, by moving for I
:ouie* of certain correspondence that had 1
jassed between the British government
uid the Commissioner of the lonian States, t
—After a reply from Earl Bathurst the t
notion was agreed to. t
Lord Lansdown presented two petitions r.
V«m the merchants and manufacturers of c
-iverpeol and Manchester, praying their v
Lordship to tejcel tbs tel for (he eeniio- \
us ice of the protecting duties on cer
t*in articles of British manufacture im

The Royal Proclamation has at length
been issued postponing the Coronation

ther signified thereon ; and dismissing all
persons, summoned for the first of August,
from their attendance on that day.

NAPLES.
ANOTHER REVOLUTION.
The papers furnish us with partial ac
counts of a revolution which has been ef
fected in the government of Naples. Like
the late miraculous revolution in Spain,
tills has been accomplished instantaneous
ly, unexpectedly, and with but little blood
shed. This event appears to have been
brought about by the Moralists, who have
now been placed in die Ministry. It will
be seen by the articles below, that the
Constitution adopted at Naples, is in ef
fect the same as the Constitution of the
Spanish Cortes. It is slated in a Paris ar
ticle, that after the insurrection broke
out, two regiments cf the line, who were
sent to quell them, joined them.—The
King, reposing confidence in a General,
who had promised him to restore order,
entrusted him with six regiments. When
ue arrived in the presence of the insur
gents, he imitated Ney, and exclaimed,
“ Long live the Constitution."
The Constitution which they desired,
was one formed in the time of Murat, but
which had never been carried into execu
tion. Immediately after the defections a
hove stated, the King declared that he
would form a constitution in eight days.
Hut the people would not consent to die
delay. They sent a deputation to the
King, requiring the Constitution of the
Cortez lo be signed 10,24 hours. His Ma
jesty immediately abdicated in favor of
h>s son, who issued the proclamation
which will be found below. This, howe
ver, did not give satisfaction j they insist
ed that the Constitution should be imme
diately adopted, signed and proclaimed by
the King himself. Subsequent advices,
though not official,state f iat this demand
was complied with. His majesty confirm
ed the promise made by his son k. pledged
his faith to swear fidelity to the Constitu
tion bi-fore the provisivional Junta about
to be formed, preparatory to tiis taking
the oaths before a general Parliament law
fully assembled.
The Provisional Junta is to consist of
20 members. No disposition to molest
ihe royal family appeared. The old cock
ade of red has been supplanted by one
of three colours, which the soldiers had
mounted.
The Paris Journals state, that amongst
the new ministers is Gen Telanquire, a
distinguished officer under Murat.
All communication between Paris and
Napks is cut off". In Paris the questions
were, what part will Austria take ? What
will the Holy Alliance determine on ?
A new Ambassador had arrived at Paris
from Naples, and a grand cabinet council
was called immediately.
The French nation is perfectly tranquil
in every department-
An account from Naples states, that the
Austrian government had information of a
secret society of 200, composed of late
officers in Bonaparte’s army.
SPAIN.
Some rumors that a disapprobation of
the Constitution of Spain, has been exhib
ited, continue to be put in circulation;
but they appear to be without much, if a
ny, foundation.
On the meeting of the Cortez, the King
attended the Hall, accompanied by the
Queen and the Infantas. On reaching the
Hall they were received by the deputa
tions of the membeni, one of which ac
companied the Queen to the tribune
which had been prepared for her, that she
might enjoy the spectacle of a solemn ce
remony. The other deputation waited
upon the King. When the -King entered,
all the members stoop up. The multi
tudes in the galleries could not retain
themselves, but burst forth into Vivas
The King took his scat on a magnificent
throne. The President of the Cortez pro
proceeded to receive the King’s oath.
The Bishop of Seville then delivered an
address to the King, to which his Majesty
replied.

“By the arrival of the United States

formation was given to them at Leghorn,
19 days ago, by the American Consul, of
an Algerine squadron being at sea, con
sisting of two sloops of war, two brigs,
one schooner, and one row gaily, ami
that war bad been declared by the Re
gency against Tuscany. The Peacock
and Spark went in consequence to Al
giers, and ascertained this information to
be true, but could get no tidings of the
course the squadron had took, although
they boarded every vessrl they met on
their way down here. It is the opinion
of the American officers, that the oppe
raiion of this force is directed against
Tunis with which state the Algerines are
in hostility."
Extract of a Letter from Naples, dated
July 6th.
In the night of the Ist inst. some sol'
diers and officers deserted from the gar*
rison at Nola, and proceeded towards Av
ellino, a small town situated a short dis
tance from Naples. They were accom"
pained by some of the inhabitants—al*
shouting, “the Constitution forever! ’’
They were also joined by some of the mi
litia ofthe province, whom General Pipe
had recently organized. Their threats
and insinuations had no effect on the reg
ular army until about three days, when,
throiigfh want ofstrtngth and connivance,
the latter joined the insurgents, who for
ced the authorities of Aveliino, to pro
claim their Constitution, declaring that
they would take for their model that of
Spain. Shouts, however, of ‘ Long live
1 the King!" were mingled with those of
“the Constitution forever!” but the cries
i were at the same time, “down with mm
-1 isters.”
During two days several regiments
; were marched from Salerno, Naples and
Capua, commanded by various generals,
to attack the insurgents. Two regiments
P went over to the insurgents. As soon
as his majesty was informed of the deser
tions, he sssembled the Council at 6 in
the morning, a proclamation was posted
I up, in which his majesty declares, that
the nation having manifested its wish for
a constitution, he had determined to give
' them one; that he is occupied in form
ing the basis of it; and that the arrange-
I ment should be known in eight days
The troops in the mean time, are desired
’ to return to their quarters, and the in
habitants to their accustomed occupations.
Although w« are in the fociis of the
’ revolution, we are perfectly tranquil.—
the city guard is sufficient to maintain
good order, and no fears are entertained.
Neither the King or the Royal Family
are in any danger. All the ministers have
tendered their resignations
Naples, July 6.—On the night of Sun
day 2d July, a small corps of cavalry mar
ched out of Nola, accompanied by some
officers. They displayed the tri-colored
. cockade. Their first movement was up
on Avelino, where they were fired upon
by a battalion of Tamninte regiment.—ln
the course of the day the Insurgents
were reinforced by great numbers of
the peasantry, and the tower was taken,
the bait.lion disarmed, and the civil au
thorities obliged to declare allegiance to
the Constitution. The Neapolitan govern
ment was altogether unprepared for such
events, and being pe haps deficient of the
troops in the garrison at Naples, they
delayed any attack Vpon the Insurgents,
until the latter had collected an impos
ing force.
The royal troops at length made some
movements; one column took up a posi
tion on the Nola road; another of those
marched to Nocera, and the whole were
put under the command of General Caras
cora These arrangements led to an (ex
pectation, that an attack would be made
upon the insurgents, but the spirit of the
troops opposed to them rendered a retro
gade movement necessary, and a General
Feppi set off clandestinely from Naples;
and put himself at the head of the disaf
fected troops and decided the affair. Min
chino, a canon of Nola, and a man of con
siderable ability, is a leading character a
mong the Insurgents.
PROCLAMATION OF THE KING.
“The general wish of the Kingdom of
the two Sicilies for a constitutional gov
vernment having manifested itself, we con
sent to this of our full and entire will, and
promise to publish the basis in the space
of eight days.
“ Till the publication of the Constitution
the existing laws shall continue to be in
vigor.
“ Having thus satisfied the public wish,
we order the troops to return to their
corps, and every individual to his ordinary
occupation.

Naples, July 6.
On the same day, the King abdicated
the throne, to his son Francis, who the
next day issued the following
PR O CL AM A TION •
“ By virume of the act dated yesterday,

LONDON, July 27.
The Paris papers of the 24th have arriv
ed. — They are filled almost exclusively
with the affairs of Spain. On the 10th, the
Cortes approved of an address to the
King. This document, after congratulat
ing the King, Sic. thus refers to the South
American Territories. —“The intimate
union of the Cortes with your majesty’s
government, the re-establishment of pro
mises, by removing all pretext for distrust,
will facilitate the pacification of our trans
marine possessions. The Cortes, on its
si Jo, will let no opportunity escape to pro
pose and adopt tlu; necessary measuye, to
re-establish tranquility in tiiosa regions,
. in order to unite the Spaniards of both
hemispheres in one happy family. ■
After the reading of the aud'vrS, the
minister of pardons and justice, announc
ed, that the King hud deemed it necessa
ry to secure the of the sixty-nine
individuals who had signed the address to
his majesty against the constitutional sys

in various convents.

would take in the Omnium, (that is, pay
the future instalments on being allowed
I interest at 5 per cent per annum for the
money advanced) that he was authorised
■ to state that the Bank would comply with

ALI PACHA.
[ Letters from Epirus are said to state*
|. that Ali Pacha, on receiving orders from
. the Porte to evacuate some Provinces, had
p a conference with Sir Thomas Maitland,
hut was not encouraged to hope for any
assistance from the British government.
He then returned to Jannina, and summon
g ed a council of the most distinguished
j Turks of the country. The Turks advis
ed submission to the Porte, but this ad
g vice he did not choose to fellow. He then
c. lied together the Greek clergy and no
tables, and addressed them in a leng
’ speech, in which he apologized for the
j aggressions he had committed on that peo
, pie by stating that he had been driven to
' those severities by the necessity of his si
e tualion. A copy of the speech attributed
to the Pacha is given in the French pa
,m pers, but with some doubt as to its authen
ticity. It is said, however, that he appear-
I ed next day in public, with the Archbish
op of Janina by his side, and that they
. both proceeded to set an example of
working on the fortifications. On the
' same day h - disarmed the Turks, an 1
made them deliver hostages to him. He
also took hostages from the Albanians,
' though they adhere to him, notwithstand-
K i’lg that they profess the mussulman reli

BRIEF HIS TORY QUEEN CAROLINE
As much interest is felt at this time re
specting the trial which is now going on
in England against the Queen, we have
thought that a brief account of the events
which led to it, would not be unaccepti
ble to our readers.
She is of German descent, and was born
on the 17th of May, 1768. Her father,
the Duke of Brunswick, married the
sister of the late King of England, so
that she is allied by blood as well as mar
riage to the royal family of Britain. She
received her education at Court, and, it
is said, was somewhat distinguished for
her amours previous to her connection
with the Prince Regent which took place
in the spring of 1795. Her marriage was,
like most other royal alliances, wholly a
matter of state policy, and it is even stat
ed that, the royal couple, (for lovers they
could not have been,) never saw each
other, until they met in London to at
tend their nuptial ceremonies. The re
sult of this alliance or trade, has been
such as might have been expected. The
Prince, who has never been remarkable
for his chastity, soon treated her with
coldness and neglect. (In addition to this
former attachment, he formed new ones,
and this without any reserve or attempt
at concealment. In a short time his dis
like to bis wife became so great that a
separation was the consequence, though
they continued to reside under the same
roof until after the birth of the Princess
Charlotte. The hatred now becoming
mutual, the Queen removed to Black
heath in Wales, * and opened a separate
establishment.
In the neighborhood of Montague-house
the Queen’s residence, lived Sir John and
Lady Douglas, who, in this retired place,
became accidentally acquainted with the
unfortunate Qu«en. In her seclusion and
the absence of her former friends, she
was glad of their company, and for a
while invited them to spend a part of al

At recent meeting of the Co®

England, it appeals that the Lord I®
who is a servile tool of Ministers, ■
coiving that the address would hr I

majority by calling out the military. ■
Sun newspaper, entirely devoted tol
same party, gives the following
lars of this disgraceful attempt.
“ A vote of thanks having been re*
ed on to the Lord Mayor, his lords
came forward, and declared that no a
could be more happy than himself

he was sure nothing could make tliecs
