It traces them to malice chiefly, and 111 part o ignorance of tke Spanish language. It con tradicts the minors of revolutionary move ments in Portugal, and the assertion of the British ministerial journals, (upon whose tone it animadverts sharply ) that the Smith American Provinces will nut receive the Constitution. It alleges that the best results are expected in South America, when the intelligence of the revolution is received there, it relates that Ferdinand expostu lated with the French Amhassabur at Mad rid, in regard to the calumnies vented in the French ultra-royalist and ministerial journals against the Spanish revolution, and that he assured his excellency that he, Ferdinand, was the first and the heartiest constitution alist of Spain. Much good pleasantry ami keen sarcasm are indulged in the Spanish papers, about the fears of the Prussian, French, and British governments, as to the influence of Spanish example, and the infec tion of Spanish liberty. The French jour-, nalists are fully matched in point of alality, anti over matched in the topics of recrimina tion. and in poignancy of satire.

When Canga Arguellcs, the new Minister of Finance, who had come from the fortress of Ceuta, ap peared for the first time before Ferdinand, the latter would not allow him to kneel, but embraced him ; asked his pardon for the ill he had done him ; professed the utmost sor row for his suffering ; exhorted him to main tain the constitution, and to rely on hh sup port ; and finally, Ixith burst into tears. After Arco Aguerre, one of the heroes of the army of the Isle of Leon, had been carried in tri- uninh by the people of Madrid, he repaired to the Royal palace, and placed his crown of 1 laurel at the feet of the “ Constitutional King.” Don Augustin Arguellcs, appointed Minis ter of Justice, being in very had health 011 his return from imprisonment at Majorca, was obliged to stop at Alraenara, a ■ illage distant seven leagius from Valentin.

The Ambassadors and Mi nisters came with their numerous servants in new State Liveries. From the immense crowd, and the state of the weather, the State Rooms became excessively hot, and though his -Majesty suffered much from the heat, he received the congratulations of this immense assemblage, without any excepti ons. The male branches of the Royal Fa mily, and the Ambassadors, were received othe closet, and the residue in the Great Hall.

We trust that we have proved ourselves not totally unworthy of them • by sea and by land we have bled among the foremost defenders of ov.r country, and our conduct at home has uniformly evinced our love of peace, brtler and loyalty. “ That allegiance which we swote to our late Sovereign we in all humility offer to your majesty ? and we indulge theenimating hope, that we shall still continue to find in the Throne a friend and protector : : “ Accept, Sire, our sincere and fervent r-Mi, that the reign of your majesty may he long, prosperous -rid happy ; and that for mres r<‘t unnumbered, the illustrious house of Brunswick may continue to reign over the persons and hearts of a loyal aud grateful people."

After-coin- menting on the nature of the oil, nee of which they had been convicted, the learned judge said, the judgment ho was instructed to pronounce upon the several defendants, was as fellows:—The, defendant, If.

FRANCE. Tbe French papers communicate the par ticulars of a barbarous attempt upon the life of the Duchess de Bcrri, and, through her, upitti the existence of the reigning house of Bourbon. It is stated, that early on Sunday morning week, soon aftev't 2 o’clock, a man made his appearance very sileiitly at the wicket of the rue de 1’Echelle, near the win dows of that,part of the Tlntilh-ries where the Duchess de Berri resides, and placed there a petard, containing one or two pounds of gunpowder, the match of which he igni ted hy means of a lighted segar. He was then immediately seized l»y the police agents, placed in concealment near the spot hy count Angles, thoprefect of police, who it appears had previous information what was to take place.

Advices have been received from Batavia to the middle of December last; the Dutch had made two very desperate attempts, but without success, to retake a place of consi derable importance on the island of Suma tra which had fallen into the hands ot the natives hy whom the European residents bad been most inhumanly massacred- In the last attack some shij f if war succeeded in getting within lire of the fort, the natives poured in a heavy discharge of musketry and great guns, and set fire to nearly toil bamboo houses, which floating down the current, carried destruction among Hie ves sels- Strong symptoms of dissatisfaction were manifested in several other of the Dutch settlements, in India. The tit ;ment of the natives by the Dutch -is said to he very bar barous, and it is thought that it is in conse quence of such ill-trcHtmeiit that the disaf fection is so manifest, that a large force is requisite to keep the natives in subjection.

LivERi'ooD, May 20.—The discussions in Parliament on Tuesday night were of consi derable interest, as they touched on tin; lead ing points of our existing national distress— but the debates in both houses were merely introductory to the great questions which are. soon to be hrought forward, in the House of Commons, the debate limiod chiefly 011 matters connected with the contending claims -of the commercial and agricultural Interests, between which the legislature will find itself embarrassed with insurmountable difficulties. In the House of Lords, F.arl Stanhope moved for a select committee to enquire into tile best method of affording em ployment to the poor. His lordship enume rated several specific menus of accompli,h- ilig that tnost desirable of all •objects, some of which in our opinion, are entitled to the most serious examination.

INDIAN NEWS. Extract of a leltnr to a geoth man in this town, dated Mouth of Missouri, May 2U, 1820. “ 1 saw major Campbell, a res pec tat ble Indian trader, at this place,, on his descent to St. Louis ; who stales, that since the murder of the two men at For- Armstrong, by the Winebago Indians, they have declared their intention of go ing to war; that the commandant at the fort had held a council with tiie Sack arid Fox Indians, and invited them to join in the war. The former refused, saying they were at peace with all the nations, and wished to remain so ; nt least until their assistance was indispensable. The latter consented to participate, and had sent about forty warriors to strike the beginning blow, which major Campbell thinks lias already been done.”—Irhig. ANOTHER SPECK. St. Louts. [Missouri,) June 7.—A short time ngolt was made known that a cou ple ot U. S. soldiers had been killed by the Indians on the Upper Mississippi, pi the neighborhood of the fort on Rock Island. The Upper Missouri now e ubits a scene of the same sort perpetrat ed on a trading company from tins place. Young Mr. l’ratte, son of gen. J'rutte, had made a very valuable commerce with the Maha’s during the winter, amt was descending the river in the month ot May. Between SO and 100 miles above the Council Bluff's, he was attacked at camp at day break in the moiniug, had one man killed, three wounded, and a ball cut its depth across his on u head.— Alter tiring 20 or TO guns the Indians rrtn in with their knives and hatchets, and the party of Mr. Pratte with diffi culty saved themselves with the entir loss of their rich cargo of furs.

Among the unpublished Congressional Debates, which we are disburdening our tabic as fast as we can, are the IT >- ceedings in the House of Representatives on the Expedition to the Yellow .Stone. It may appear, perhaps, to some that, fne occasion having passed, the interest of this debate h:is passed away with it.— Such, on a casual glance at the subject, had been our impiession. But, further reflection produced a dift'erer/i view of the matter ; and we determined to pub lish, as soon as we could,'such part ofthe discussion as we have preserved notes of. The following extract of a letter, which vve have lately received from one ofthe most intelligent men in our coun try, will, we incline to think, awaken the attention ot those readers to this subject who have not thought of it before : [.Vatinnal Intelligencer.] ” It seems to me that the true object and policy of the Missouri Expedition have not been well understood by the public, in many parts ofthe Union. The subject must, 1 think, soon receive nno- thcr review. The national councils can not be long indifferent lo the singular DARING OUTRAGE.

At four p. m. saw from the topsail yard the land to the Southward of Crow Island ; at sandown saw off' the deck the sand beach nnd trees, very plain, being then from 5 to G miles distant from the above menti oned beach....at half.past C p. m. sound.- ed in six fathoms water ; the wind hau.’,. ing to Northward and growing ce.itn, the brig lowered her boat down and sent her within hail of us, asking “ J rom whence came you and where ure y„ u bound to, and why don't you heart too for the U.

The following explanations respecting the recent outrage of the Portuguese nt Villa de Praya,against the Franklin 74, while getting under weigh to leave that port on the 27th of March last, has been communicated to a citizen at New Bedford: “ Commodore Stewart having the next evening obtained the supplies for uliich he entered the port, ai quaintcd the American Consul, (Samuel Hodges, jr. esq.) that ho was about to sail, and desired him to inform his excellency the Governor General, who immediately issued orders for the sliip to pass ; but by the negligence of the officers charged with communicating the order, the most distant batteries were not apprised that his excellency’s permission was granted, commenced a fire upon the Franklin. His Excellency was much alarmed forthe conse quence, and instantly sent express for them to cease firing: hut before he reached, 12 or IS gtlns had been discharged, and one shot passed through her main topsail. His Ex cellency then dispatched the captain of a Portuguese 20 gun brig of war, then in the. harbor, to com. Stewart, with an apology. The distance of the Franklin prevented him from reaching in his boat, and be returned. “ The American Consul beingpresent and knowing that his Excellency was prompt io issuing his orders for. the ship to pass, wrote to com. Stewart at the earnest solicitation of his Excellency, to communicate his humble apology, und dispatched Jhe harbor master with the letter, who, after being out aii night, returned .«itliout accomplishing hia object. The ship having drifted' to-Wevvsrri the ugxt morning, his Excellency-dispatched a hu ge pinnace with the Consul’s letters to commo dore Stewart, who replied he was satisfied the firing was unintentional on the part of hb Excellency ; but observed, that a shot had passed through his ship’s main topsail, for which he should demand satisfahtion, and send his boat ashore for the purpose ; but the strong lee current prevented the ship from gaining to windw ard, and the wind in creasing, she bore away, prubuhly to the West Indies. “Next morning a general order wasissued, permitting any whip of war to leave w hene ver the commander thinks proper, either hy night or day. Thus you see a single Amer ican line of battle ship has effected ivhat the English naval commanders have long desir ed, and who have always humiliated tliem- ■selves to pray ing permission to leave the place. “ The officers who were first charged with communicating his Excellency's order, and those commanding the batteries, were imme diately confined; but the American Consul- conceiving that the latter were not deserv ing of censure, solicited und obtained their release-; and this morning offered a full par don on his part to the former, when his Ex cellency released them from the weighty irons in which they were confined.” At a Court of Oyer and Terminer and General Jail Dul'.very, held in Plattsburg, N.

TIIE PRAIRIES OF T1IF WEST. rilOM SHUMAN'S JOURNAL. To the traveller, who for several days traverses the prairies and barrens, their appearance is quite uninviting, and even disagreeable. He may travel from morn ing until night, and make good speed, but on looking around him, he fancies him self at the very spot whence he started. No pleasant variety of hill and dale, no rapidly running brook delights the eye, and no sound of woodland musick, strike* the.car ; but, in their stead, a dull un- formity of prospect “ spread out im mense.” Excepting here &. there a tret, or a slight elevation of ground, it is other wise a cloud level, covered with tall weeds and coarse grass.
