The Queen.—The report of the spee
dy arrival of the Queen is still more
strongly prevalent, ami is now combined
with certain rumors of consequent chan
ges of administration. We are Still iu-
. credulous as to the intention of her Ma
jesty to revisit this country, and are yet
less’ inclined to give credit to any ru
mors of ministerial changes. It is said
thatthe Queen has appointed Mr. Broug
ham her attorney general, and lias in
vested him also with some other autho
rity, which she is understood to have a
right to delegate, but which has not been
iratfi-ierttly explained. In tbe certainty
of her Majesty’s actual return, it is un
derstood that some investigations will
positively take place, which it was de
termined to avoid, unless her own act &
deed might render them absolutely ne
cessary on grounds of the utmost impor
tance.
The treatment which we understand
that our Ambassador has received from
the new government in Spain, has been
of such a nature that we should not be
surprised to hear of his sudden return,
even without the formality of taking leave
of the present sovereign of that country.

“ All the Monasteries areMo be abol
ished, with the exception of a limited
number, and these are to be confined to
particular orders; and as it is understood
they have engrossed one-third of the
property in Spain, this alteration must
serve mightily to replenish the national
treasury.
“ The army, from about 200,000, is
to be reduced to 30,000 men !
“ The King, whose control over the
Treasury was nbs'olute, is to have a fix
ed revenue, 40,000,000 of reals. Since
1815, it is understood, he has deposited
large sums of money in the English funds.
“ The Duke del Freias, about to set
out as ambassador to London, is to have
a revenue of 30,000 dollars.
“ The Duke del Infantado, the richest
man in Spain, resigns his regiment, and
oil his offices, and retires to the country,
with the resolution never to accept of
any official situation. It was this Duke
who founded the British system of educa
tion here for S00 boys, and the whole
expenses of it have been hitherto exelu-
•sively paid by himself.
“ It was the Duke of Alagon that had
ro long been the adviser of the King,
previous to the late happy change, and
wiiose head was demanded by the mob
that surrounded the palace when the
King agreed to the constitution. He has
fled from Madrid ; but it is not known
what route he has taken. .

forne letters from the north speak of
an approaching war between Russia mid
the Ottoman Porte. The Emperor A-
lexander is at the head of 800,000 sol
diers, and the time is perhaps arrived
when he can boldly accomplish the vast
designs of his illustrious grandfather.—
England is not in a situation to oppose
projects w hich ought lo alarm her; Prus
sia, a prey to real fears and lo an interi
or fermentation, can oppose no obstacles
to them ; Austria cannot attack the Co
lossus, without exposing herself to lose
Gallicia, and to see Italy freed from for
eign domination ; and France, the an
cient ally of Turkey, is certainly not in
i position to defend the empire of the
crescent.
The governments are, every where,
in bad intelligence with the people.—
Never could Russia have chosen a more
favorable moment to aggrandize her vs.*
estates. Every where the oligarchies
urround the thrones, and it is the most
fatal support they cun have.

LATEST FROM FRANCE.
By the Bell, (.'apt. Huntington from Ha
vre whence she sailed 14th lilt, the editors
of the Mercantile Advertiser have received
from' their correspondents, Paris papers to
the tilth, inclusive. They contain out little
news. All was apparently quiet in France.
A report had prevailed that a large army of
observation Was assembling in the North,
but the Paris Journal nf the tltli states that
there was no truth in the report.
The following extracts comprize all the
Intelligence from Spain, contained in the pa
pers.
MADRtn, March iM.
The King has dispatched brevets o( Mar-
chal de Champ to the chief of the insurrec
tion at the Lie de Leo.u, Quiroga, Arco, Agu-
ero, and Riego.
The King has restored to their honors anil
employments, by a decree uf the 25th, all
persons implicated in the. proceedings a-
gainst Mina, Porlier, Lacy, Richard, Reno
vales and those engaged in the affair at Va
lencia in 1817 and 18 l!l, as well as those en
gaged in the insurrection at Cadiz, in July
1810.
The royal army of Gnliieia, under the
command of Gen. Roman, is ordered by a
royal decree to be dissolved.
The count D’Abisbal [Gen. O’Donnel]
has arrived in Madrid. He has published n
sort of manifesto in which lie expresses his
lisconteut that the King had not accepted
hi* sel l iei s. He lias denounced to the Pa
triotic Chib a counter revolutionary conspi
racy, and has demanded the commando!' the
National militia.
SPANISH REVOLUTION.
The subjoined articles in relation to this
interesting subject, extracted from foreign
papers, are entitled to serious consideration :
Wc copy the following from Bell’s Week
ly Messenger, of March 1!'.
“ An article from Italy contains a point of
intelligence of some importance, inasmuch
as it appears to confirm a very probable o-
pinion, that the powers of Europe will give a
timely attention and interposition in the af
fairs of Snaiu. It is prudent they should do
so, provided only that such interference he
made with a due respect to the right* of the
people as well as to the interests of kings.—
The article to xvhieh we allude, states that
his Grace the Duke of Wellington will shortly
he charged with u most important political
negotiation ; it is stated that he is to conft
with the Ambassadors of the other great
Powers at Paris, respecting the affairs of
Spain, and that he will then go to Madrid to
lay the result before the Spanish govern
ment. The Ambassadors, it is asserted would
receive special instructions from their Courts,
and that this important business would lie
treated with entire-unanimity by all parties.
We must only express our hopes, that, if
Ferdinand he retained upon the Spanish
throne, tlie people will have some better
security for Iris adherence to any royal char
ter he may give than his bare word.”
The St. James Chronicle, a paper of res
pectable authority, gives to the Spanish news,
however important it may he,a more intense
interest, by the publication of the following
intelligence :
“ We do not speak from light authority
when we state the fact, that the neighboring
kingdom of Portugal is forward in its pre
parations to follow the example of Spain,
and that the consolidation of the whole Pen
insula into one powerful fiee monarchy is at
hand. This is, we believe, the first public
intimation of the probability of an event
which must exercise n important influence
upon the fate of Europe.”
BONAPARTE.
The following is an extract of a letierfrom
St. Helena, dated Fen. a, IHifl:—“Buna-
parte is in good health, and has been so fur

“Spain is far from enjoying a tranquil situ
ation ; the excesses w hich have been com
mitted are renewed in several quarters. A
sullen disquietude prevails in the public mind.

Marsh turnpike, a short distance from
New Church. None of them, however,
entered the town, hav ing, it is supposed,
received intelligence of the preparations
made by the magistrates.
The same night a company of gentle
men were returning from .Middleton, and
on their wav they were surprised to see
a number of men, sitting under a hedge
or wall, each armed with a pike or spear
and near them was a quantity of the
same weapons, about 200 heaped on the
ground. The gentleman, w ho was se
parated from his companions, look up
one of the pikes and was proceeding to
examine it, when one of the men struck
him, and lie was attacked by several o-
thers. At the same moment a number
of persons, at least sixty, came overall
adjoining wall, armed in the same man
ner. The gentleman felt alarmed at his
Isingerous situation, and attempted to
make otf:—while doing so, a pistol or
musket was discharged after him, the
ball of which whizzed close by his head.
In the mean time, the rest of the party
were attacked and beaten. One of them

The fast sidling ship Seri to, Captain
Hatton, arrived in llampton-Ronds last
evening, in the remarkably short pas
sage of 2C days from Liverpool. The
polite attention of Captain Hatton and a
commercial friend has furnished the
Steam-limit I!<>tel Heading Room with
several Liverpool papers, the latest 21st,
and London to 18th April, inclusive.—
They arc tilled with accounts of the in
terna! feuds which distract that country
and Scotland ; trials for High Treason,
and other indications that a revolutiona
ry spirit is rapidly gaining ground, which
it it tines not eventually overthrow, will
convulse (he present Government of
England to its centre.
The intelligence from Glasgow and
Paisley i* of a satisfactory character, so
far a* relates to the contiminnee of tran
quillity in that quarter. There exists,
however, among the baffled Radicals, a
sullen, angry, and disappointed spirit,
which only lacks an occasion to manifest
itself with revolutionary fierceness.
This disposition may, indeed, he repres
sed, by the strong arm of power ; but A
must be eradicated by other moans.
We have received, from a cot respon
dent who had accurate means of know
ing the whole transaction, an interest
ing account of the origin and progress of
the disastrous affair at Greenock. It de
serves to be rend with attention, for it
entirely exculpates, from all shadow of
blame, the conduct of the Port Glasgow
\ ulunleers. Men who gratuitously step
forward to protect the public peace, utid
uphold the laws, with willing srcrilice ol
many personal interests and comforts,
are not to be beaten I u feroriou* rab
ble, and unresistingly immolated, because
they happen to have lirc-nrnis in their
luiml*. A few inflammatory tear* may he
shed, perchance, over the misguided po
pulace ; but they will not obliterate the
imprescriptible right of human nature,
that of self defence. When soldiers-suf
fer themselves to be quietly pelted by an
insolent mob, like some detested wretch
in the pillory, then their conduct is ex
emplary ; il they are killed, it is lamen
table indiscretion, on the part of their
assailants ; but if they kin—oh ! what
patriot sighs are breathed, Over the vic
tims of military execution. This insi
dious sympathy is an admirable provoca
tive to popular excesses, but it i* lit they
should know, who deem il brave to attack
men from whom they are t.uight to anti
cipate no retaliation, that a soldier's dis
cipline does not always feltqr the com
mon impulses of nature.
Numerous arrests of disaffected per
sons have taken place in Glasgow, Pais
ley, and their neighborhoods, during the
last three or four days. I'potrthis sub
ject ue regret to read tbe following pa
ragraphs in the Edinburgh and'Glusgow
papers :-—
“ We understand, among the Persons
apprehended for treasonable practices in
Glasgow, and tbe neighbourhood, are se
veral persons above the common ranks of
life ; and some who, from their employ
ments, might have been expected to have
acted differently ; a clerk in a public
ollice, and a sergeant in a respectable
corps, arc said to be of the number, and
some who, by industry, have raised them
selves to a respectable situation in life.

that the King continues to sutler from

Most of our readers doubtless reeol-
;t a resolution of Congress, passed at
the session before the last, establishing a
system according to which the armed ves
sels of the U. buries should be named ;
their appellations having been previously
thereto selected at the pleasure of the
Navy Department or of the officers sub
ordinate to it. The resolution itself be
ing of no great length, we copy it, to re
fresh the reader’s memory.

after the States of the Union ; those of the se
cond class, after tbe Rivers ; and those of the
third class, al ter the principal Cities and tow ns ;
taking cure that no two vessels in the Navy
sliull bear the same name.
Approved, Miirch .id. lslt).
We understand, that, in execution of
the [dan contained in the preceding Re
solution for naming our public vessels,
the States, entitled to the names of ships
of the first class, arc to be ascertained

of Navy Commissioners. This is sup
posed to he the least exceptionable mode
that could be adopted, with equal justice
to the several states. Although the mero
name of a ship may be of little impor
tance, vet the system contemplated by
the resolution may, in its} consequences,
be productive of very beneficial effects •

House of Representatives, May 13.
Tbe House having got through the bu
siness before it,—
Mr. lYarJield, of Md. rose and observ
ed, that although it had been customary,
whenever t lie re existed a disposition on
the part of thu house by an unanimous
vole to express their unqualified appro
bation oft lie course pursued by the Spelt
er, to delay the expression of that opin
ion until the termination of the period
for which he was elected, yet he was in
duced, oti this occasion, to depart from
that course, having distinctly understood
tlint it was the intention of the Speaker
to decline the duties of the chair at the
close of the present session. Any obser
vations, said Mr. W. to enforce the jus
tice and propriety of unanimously adopt
ing the resolution would be altogether
superfluous. Every member ofthe house
in common with himself, had witnessed,
during the present laborious and pro
tracted session, the dignity, ability, anil
impartiality, with which tbe Speaker had
discharged the duties of his station ; and
lie was persuaded there w as not a mem
ber of that body to whom it would not af
ford the truest gratification to offer the
small tribute of respect and approbation
intended to he expressed in the resolu
tion then before them. Mr. W. then
submitted the following resolution, the
question on w liich being put by the clerk,
it was adopted unanimously;
Resolved, unanimously, by the House
of Representatives of the United States
of America, thatthe thanks uf this house
lie given to the honorable Henry Clay,
Speaker thereof, for the dignity, ability
and impartiality with which he has dis
charged the duties of that station.
The Speaker then rose, and addressed
the 1 louse as follows :
Gentlemen : The House of Represen
tatives has, on former occasions, honored
me by a vote of its thanks. 1 then felt
that the sole claim which 1 bad to a testi
mony of the public approbation so dis
tinguished, was the zeal with which I
have ever sought to discharge the highly
responsible duties ofthe chair ; and 1 am
now sensible that 1 am indebted to your
belief of the continued extent of that
zeal for the fresh proof of your favora
ble sentiments towards me in the resolu
tion wliich you have just adopted.
If gentlemen, the traveller parts with
regret from those agreeable acquain
tances which he casually makes ;rs lie
journeys on his way, how much more
painful must be the separation of those
who have co-operated many mouths in
the luixiousendeavorto advance the-pros
perity of a common country; who have
been animated by mutual sympathies ;
and who have become endeared to each
other by an interchange of all the friend
ly offices incident to the freest social in
tercourse ? Addressing you us I now do,
probably the last time from this place, I
confess I feel a degree of emotion which
I am utterly unable to express. I shall
carry with me into that retirement which
is necessary to the performance of indis
pensable private duties, a grateful recol
lection of all your kindnesses ; ofllie
respectful and atfectionate consideration
of me, which you have .always evinced ;
of tbe generous, and almost unlimited
confidence which you have ever reposed
in me ; and ofthe tenderness with which
you have treated eveu my errors. But,
interesting as have been the relations in
which 1 have stood for many years to this
house, l have yet higher motives for
continuing to behold it with the -deepest
solicitude. I shall rogarJ it as the great
depository ofthe most important powers
of our excellent constitution ; as the

truest image of their d Sberate will and

Mr. Ellery.—The venerable Mr. Ellery

tion of Independence, and upwards of ninety
year.* old when be died. The writer ofthe
letter is a gentleman of Rhode-Island, of
much distinction, who was intimately ac-
quaintt'd with the deceased.
“ Old Mr. Ellery died like a philosopher*
In truth death in its common form never
name near him. His strength wasted gradu
ally for the last year, until he had not enough
left to draw his breath, ami so he. ceased to
breathe. The day on which he died, he got
up us usual and dressed himself, took his old
flag bottomed chair, without aims, in which
he had sat for more than half a century, was
reading Tully’s offices in the Latin without
glasses, though the print was a* fine as that
of the smallest pocket Bible. Dr. AV. step
ped in on his way to the Hospital, ns he usu
ally did ; and on perceiving the old gentle
man could scarcely raise Iris eyelids to look
at him, took his hand and fount) that hi*
pulse w as gone. After drinking a little wine;
and water, Dr. W. told him Iris pulse heat;
stronger. “O Yes, Doctor, I have a charming
pulse. But,’-’ he continued, “it is idle to
talk to me in this way. 1 am going off tho
<tage of life, and it is a great blessing that l
go free from sickness, pain and sorrow.”—.
Some time after, bis daughter finding him
become extremely weak, wished him to-h.*
put to bed, which lie at first objected to, say -
ing he felt no pain, and there'was no occa
sion for his going to bed. Presently after,
however, fearing that he might possibly fall
out of his chair, he told them they might Set
him upright iri the bed, so t’ .at he could con
tinue to rend. They did so, and he continu
ed reading Cicero very quietly for some
time ; presently they looked at him am!
found him dead, sitting in the same pOstiu-e;
with the book under Iris chin, as a min who-
becomes drowsy and goes to sleep.”
