•• The ton*pi racy which I am combat
ting, though nominally directed against
myself, is in fact n conspiracy against
Jtritish liberty. No measure since the
revolution Ims portended such disastrous
consequences ns the present hill ol pain*
and penalties ; while it threatens free
dom, under all its diversified aspects, and
with all its general rights and nil its par
ticular securities,’U-at the same. lima
darkens the perspective ol the future
with u lowering appearance of civil war.
It exhibits a cloud on the edge of the
political horizon, that nitty burst in mis
ery oil every family m the country.
“ This bill of pains nnd pcnaltes may
tluis be the harbinger of woe to every
man's hearth l it may embitter the days
of thousands nnd tens n) thousands, both
rich aud poor, and produce irremediable
regrets,
•> After the noble stand which so many
of the most estimable among the Peer*
have made against this pestiferous bill,
and the total want of any evidence to jus
tify its enactment, it cannot be expected
that it will pnss ; but, if it should pass,
we must never lose sight of the proba
bility that his Majesty may marry again :
the issue of that marriage would, in all
likelihood, cause a contested succession.
That part of the nation which will not
allow the hill of pains and penalties to be
a constitfitiomd act, may nut readily sub
mit to the offspring of a marriage which
still never generally be deemed legitimate.
“ If my marriage bo annulled, it must
be annulled in defiance of all law. Thi
Queen, therefore, who succeeded me,
would only be nominally Queen ; for no
lawful right can lie convycd by nn ille
gal act, and, in the opinion of the great
majority of the nation, nothing can stamp
this hill of pains and penalties with any
legal characteristic. It willneverbe re
garded as any tiling more than an act of
pure tyranny, nnd as 6uch it will excite
the hatred of the present age, and ex
perience the execration of posterity.”

Madiud, Sept. 6.
For the last three or four days we
have undoubtedly been threatened with
dangers nnd calamities ; 6ince we have
seen military precautions adopted, which
indicated that government were ready to
repel force by force. An energetic pro-
elamatiou has been issued, denouncing
*he utmost rigor of the law against all
who shall attempt to disturb the public
tranquility.
On the 4th Sept, n committee was ap
pointed by the Cortes to frame a law pro
ject “for securing to the citizens the
•faculty of enlightening each other by
means of political discusions, at the same
time avoiding the abuse of the same.”—
On tho 7th, the Ministers were sent for
to report on the state of the capital, as
it had been in n violent agitation the night
before, &: seditious cries had been heard
in the very palace of the king. The mi
nisters attended nnd read reports from
the authorities at Madrid, by which it ap
peared that attempts had been made to
disturb the public tranquility. Owing
to the contrary meaning of their cries,
it vv.Ts impossible to ascertain to what
party they really belonged ; but strong
suspicions were entertained, that they
were enemies to the new system, who
(pnd hypocritically disguised their senti
ments to escape detection.

This week's mails have brought three
proclamations relative to the Revolution
in Portugal. The first, dated Oporto,
Aug. 21, is nddressedFto the soldiers by
some individual terming n military coun
cil who state that a reform of existing n-
bascs is absolutely necessary. They
eall upon the troops to assist them in
organizing n Provisional Government,
whose duty it shall he to convene the
Cortes. The Cortes will he the legitim
ate organ of the nation, nnd w ill draw up
a Constitution calculated to secure her
rights. The second is from the Govcr-
nois of the Kingdom to the Portuguese,
dated Lisbon, Ang. 29 ; describes the
occurrences in Oporto as an act of rebel
lion; cautions tin nation against bcinir do-
vessel has just arrived with orders from iPru.-^ia will, it is said, take place about
his Majesty, evincing the truly patera- the middle of October, either at I’esrhi i
al solicitude with which he watches over | or at Tropxpan, on the frontiers of Hi-
the welfare of the kingdom; and con- lorn.
hides with expressing the hope the re
bels will shortly return to a sense of their
duty. The third is from the same Gov
ernors to the Portuguese nation. It
states, that, “ aware of the imminent
danger to which the nation nnd the mon
archy would he exposed if the crisis, oc
casioned by the rising of the city of Op
orto, should he protracted, they have
come to the resolution of immediately
convoking the Cortes, in the name of the
King. They trust, that a measure which
so clearly evinces the determination «r
attending to tho complaints of the people,
will immediately rally the whole nation
round a legitimate and common centre ;
and that all classes will become sensible
of the necessity of such a union, in or
der to avoid those, dreadful evils, anar
chy, civil war, and perhaps tlie dissolu
tion of the. monarchy.”

The revolution in Portugal is confirm
ed by the London papers. The parti
culars are similar to those already pub
lished. One of the Paris Editors, speak
ing on this subject, says, “ tjie revolu

and then goes on with the details of oc
currences in Spain, Portugal, Naples
and Sicily. It is added that 20,000 men
were on their march from Spain to as

Witnesses in favor of the Queen had
arrived in London from Italy.
The Queen has offered her portrait
to the Common Council of the City of
London, which has been accepted, and
the thanks of the court ordered to be
conveyed to her Majesty by the Lord
Mayor.
Numerous addresses had been pre
sented to the Queen. Her answer to
that ofSidwell. Exeter, is worthy of no
tice. She says i consider rnyscif as
perpetually acting in the presence of the
Universal Father; and I endeavor to-
measure my happiness more by confor
mity to His will (linn by any variable
compliances with individual inclination.
Whatever may have been my personal
afflictions, I consider thorn as designed
either for the benefit of others, or for
my own ultimate advantage. Hence,
that Power, whose afflicting dispensa
tions have caused many a torturing pang
to iny heart, and many a sorrowful hour
in my life, is the object of my devout nnd
iny humble adoration. In all trials, 1
place a firm reliance on His goodness,
without whose permission not a sparrow
falls to the ground.”
The 25th nit. was the day appointed
by the Queen to receive addresses of
condolence and congratulation from vari
ous public meetings, held cither in the
several pari-hes of the metropolis and its
vicinity, or in more distant parts of the
country. The deputations .appointed to
convey the addresses went in procession
to Brandenburgh house, attended by a
great multitude. As the parties several
ly arrived, the deputations were ushered
into the Queen’s presence, and were
graciously received; while the crowds
assembled in front of the house, rent the
air with acclamations. After the address
es were presented, the Queen returned
suitable answers, which appear in the
London papers.
Tlte Queen has accepted the Imperial

General Riego has been sent into ban
ishment. An article dated Madrid, Sept.
i>, states (bat liiego, vvlio hail received
orders to proceed to Galicia, and to dis
band the corps of the army cantoned in
the Lie do hcon, had endeavoured to
change the resolution of the king and go
vernment on this point.
On the evening of the 31st of August
lie went to the theatre, and behaved vvith
the greatest indecorum, singing songs,
kc. On the 3d of Sept’r, he attended a
banquet of the Patriotic Societies—Gen.
Quiroga refused to attend.—One of the
ongs sung by Riego at the theatre was a
few evenings afterwards called for by the
audience of the theatre, hut the magis
trates present would not allow it to be
sung. An altercation took place between
the magistrates and Riego. Naked wea
pons were displayed ; the double guard
was assembled : they loaded their mus
kets, the performance ceased ; and the
strates proceeded to the palace un
der an escort. These proceedings caus
ed the Cortes immediately to adopt mea
sures to suppress patriotic associations—
the resolution was carried by the most
numerous majority that has yet taken
place in the assembly. The government
has also taken the following measures.
General Riego dismissed from the post
of Captain General ofGaTiicia, is sent to
quarters at Oviedo, his native place.
Colon ol San Miguel, his Aid-de-camp,
and author of (lie Gcr. nil's Proclama
tions, to Zamora.
General Velasco, Governor of Madrid,
to Valladolid.”
Man»anaros, Colonel of Artillery, into
Catalonia, anil Captain Munoz, to St. Se
bastian.
Outlie 51 h of Sept. Riego xvns desi
rous ol'appoaring at the bar, and make
his defence to (he Cories-—they refused
him permission. On tiie same day ho
was sent to Asturias under an escort of
twenty horse.
■On the 5lh Sept, in the evening, a mul
titude appeared at the palace. On soe-
ingtlie king, they shouted “ Long live
the king 1—Down with Trugit lu perro.”
The words in italic were the chorus of
Ricgo’s song at the theatre, which allu
ded to the king—the translation of which
are—“Gulp it down, dog.”
On tiie same evening, another party
called Lihereaux, appeared in front of the
palace, crying “long live the constitu
tion—the constitutional king and Riego.”
They termed the latter their liberatior,
and demanded his recnl.
The evening was very turbulent.—
Strong patrolcs, after much disturbance,
effected the dispersion of the group*
round the palace ; but the discontented,
armed with flaming torches, burned lo
the places where Iho patriotic societie
assembled, and uttered vociferations of
rage against the government and Cortes,
nnd demanded the recnl of Riego.
The residence of the magistrates be
came the object of their animosity. It
was expected they would set lire to the
city, hut the soldiery succeeded in dis
persing them. The garrison of Madrid
10,000 strong, hid defiance to intrigue,
& remained faithful to the government.

POLITICAL STATE OF GERMANY.
Confidential letter of Prince Mellcrnirh, Prime
Milliner of Austria, to Baron Berstelt, Die
Chief Minister of Dio Grand Duke of I Judea.
(This leDor, \vu Relieve, isu circular sent to (lie
whole ofthe German Princes.)—1a>h. paper.
Your Excellency has expressed tho desire
of his royal highness the grand duke to know
in a general but precise manner, the ideas of
Die imperial cabinet on tiie political state of
Germany. This invitation on the part, ofn
prince who gives daily the most laudable
proofs of liis firm inclination to protect its
welfare, ami li.is profound sense ofthc ele
ments w hich compose it,honors me as much
as it imposes on me the duty of communica
ting to your excellency, without resene, the
point of view under which we consider the
actual stiite of tilings. Time advances in
tiie midst of storms: to endeavor to arrest
its impetuosity would he n vain attempt.—
Firmness, moderation, prudence, and a uni
on of accurately ascertained forces, are still
in the power ofthe protectors K. Die friends
of order. This at present constitutes the
duty of all sovereigns, and of all well-inten
tioned statesmen; and he alone shall merit
that title in Die day of danger, who, alter
examining w hut is possible, and w hat is equi
table, will not allow himself to be turned
from Die noble object to w hich his efforts
should tend, cither by incflecliud w ishes, or
l.y d ejection of spirit.
This object is easily determined. Incur
days it is nothing more nor less than to main
tain that which exists ; to attain it is the on
ly means of preserving present advantages,
perhaps even the best calculated to recover
that which lias been already lost. To this
end the efforts and the measures of all who
are united by a common principle 8t a com
mon interest ought to be directed. The com
bustible elements which hud been long pre
pared wore enflamed between the years 1017
and lf.20. The false course w hich iho French
ministry pursued during that epoch—the to
leration allowed in Germany to the most
dangerous doctrines—the indulgence shown
to audacious reformers—w eakness in re
pressing the ulmses ofthe press ; finally, the
precipitation with which representative con
stitutions were given to the Southern States
of Germany—all these causes have impress
ed tiie most fatal direction an parties whom
nothing cun satisfy.
Nothing proves better the impossibility of
satisfying these parlies than the observation,
that their most active operations have taken
place in tiie state where the greatest indul
gence was shewn to their pretended view's.
The evil had reached such a pitch before
the Congi ess of Carlsbad, that a trilling po
litical complication would have been suffici
ent to overthrow entirely social order. The
w isdom of the system which the great courts
adopted has preserved them from the dan
gers which might lie fatal. What then, hi
such a case ought to be the inarch of an en
lightened government? In proposing this
question, wo presuppose Die possibility of
salvation, and we think ourselves perfectly
authorized to such a hope. In examining
tho mentis by which we ran attain so eleva
ted an end, we see ourselves brought back
to the point whence we set out. To repair
by little anil little till edifice which threaten
ed to Tull, we must have i.satre foundation.—
Thus, to secure a happier futurity, wo'must
he sure, at least, of the present. The main
tenance of that which exists, ought, there
fore, to ho the first, ns well as tiie most im
portant, of our caies. Tty this vv e do nut un
derstand only the ancient order of tilings
which lias been respected in some countries,
but likewise aH the new institutions legally
created.
Tliis importance of maintaining them with
firmrfessaml constancy may he seen by the
attacks which have been made upon them,
with a fury peril,;| s greater than against our
ancient institutions. In the present times, tiie
transition from what is ancient to what is
new is accompanied with as much danger as
Die return from what is new lo what lias been
abolished. Both may equally lead to an ex
plosion of the calamities which it is essential
io avoid at any price.
Not to deviate in any manner from the
existing order of things from whatever origin
it may have sprung; not to attempt changes
though they should he thought absolutely
necessary, except with entire liberty, and af
ter a resolution maturely weighed, such is the
fir-t duly of a government which is inclined
to resist the evils ofthe age. Doubtless such
a resolution, however just or natural, would
exrite obstinate-opposition ; tmt the ndvtin
tage of being placed upon a known mid ac
knowledged basis is evident, because from
this strung ground it would be easy lo stop
or to anticipate in all directions tho necessa
rily uncertain motions of the enemy. Wc
regard the nhj'-ctiun which may be made,
namely that among the constitutions hither
to given to Germany, there are some which
repose oil no basis, and have const
no point d’appui as unfounded. If such has
been the case, the demagogues, always inde
fatigable, would not have failed to undermine
them. Every order, legally established,con
tains within itself the principle of a better
system, provided it is not tho work of arbi
trary power or of frantic blindness, (like lliat
generally of the Cortes of 11:1 i.) It may
moreover lie said, that a charter is not n con
stitution properly so called : thn latter is foi-
med by time, and depends always on Dio
knowledge and inclination of government to
give, to the dev elopement of the constitution
al regime such a direction as may separate
the good from the evil, consolidate public au
thority, and preserve tho repose and the luip-
with the feeling of it« dignity and its duty,
lias determined no, in destroy itself.
One of these means rests on Die sati: fac-
lory conviction, that between the European
powers there exi-ts no luisamlrrstamlii.j'.
and that, according lo the invariable princi
ples of sovereigns, none ran lie I'ori.'seen.—
This fact, which is placed beyond all doubt,
confirms our position and gnuri.iiteos our
strength.
The other means is the vinion formed in
tho course of the last nine months between
the German states ; nn union which, by the
blessing of God, our firmness and fidelity will
render indissoluble.
The conferences at Carlsbad, and the de
crees which issued from them, have acted
in a more powerful and salutary manner
than perhaps we dare own to ourselves at a
time when we have still the feeling of those
embarrassment* which agitate us, and when
we can only calculate superficially nil the
advantages which we have obtained.
Measures, so Important as these, can only
be appreciated in their whole extent when
we can know the whole nf their results.—
The speech which immediately follows can
not present them all to Us, but we can appre
ciate the effects produced Ivy the resolutions
ofthc noth of September, by calculating the
probable progress which the enemies of or
der would have made without them. Tim
results of the, conferences of Vienna, though
of a more elevated order, will have an effect
less brilliant, but more profound nnd desira
ble. The consolidation of the Germanic
union offers to each of the states whir
compose it an efiieacious guarantee—an in
valuable advantage in present circumstances,
and one of which we could not have hern
certainly assured, except by the course that
lias been followed. Tliejgood faith and mo
deration vvith which this important vvork liar
been conducted may on the one hand have
| fixed ns in certain points, and prevented ns
. from taking measures more hold and erier-
getn ; but on the other, supposing such
course possible, there would haw been wan
ting to this work one of the first conditions,
namely, the free conviction and the sincere
confidence of all the contracting parties.
Nothing could have compensated such a
defect, which must have been in every nt-
tempt to put in execution determinations
made under such auspices. In general the
moral force of the confederation was neces
sary as its legislative force ; and the pro
gress which tiie conviction of the utility nnd
the necessity of this union lias made, is, in
our opinion, a most important and most hap
py result.
• The rules which the German govern
ment will henceforward have to ol/serve may
he pointed out in a fi ve word* :—
1. Confidence in the duration of Europe
an peace, and in the unanimity ofthe princi
ples which direct the high allied powers.
2. A scrupulous attention ".o their own
system of administration.
1). Perseverance in tilt maintenance ofthc
legal basis of the existing constitutions, and
a firm determination to defend them vvith
force and prudence against every individual
attack.
4. The amelioration of essential faults in
these constitutions : this amelioration being
made iiy Government, and grounded on suf
ficient reasons.
In case of insufficiency of means, an appeal
to Die assistance of the Confederation—an
assistance which every member has the must
sacred right to exact, and which, according
to present stipulations, can less than ever be
refused.
Such is, according to us, the only truly sa
lutary, legal aud safe course. On such prin
ciples rests the political system of the Km
purer ; and Austria tranquil in her interior,
possessing an imposing mass of moral force
and physical resources, will not only make
useof them for her own preservation, but will
always be ready to dispose of them for tho
advantage of her confederates, when duty
aud wisdom demand their exercise.

The Paris papers of Sunday inform us,
that tile Duke of Cambridge proceeds to Vi
enna, to assist at the conferences about to lie
iieliUn that capital, relatively to the affairs of
Italy; it is further hinted, that the co-npern-
iou of England in the measures which are
proposed fur adoption towards that country
wilt become a subject of debate during the
visit of his Royal Highness. Doubts are in
sinuated in Die French journals whether Die
Duke dc Galio, the new minister from Na
ples, to the Court of Austria, will lie receiv
ed by liis Imperial Majesty. It is further
said, that the Emperor ■Francis will not re
cognize flic new constitution of Naples ; that
King Ferdinand, when restored by Austria
lo the exercise of iiis former despotism, will
pledge himself against any concession to liis
subjects except with consent of the Austrian
Government; and that, in case of liis giving
way at any future time to compulsion, no
acts of that Sovereign arc to be.deemcd obli
gatory or valid. Austria, according to ru
mour, undertakes for the maintenance of her
own great army in Italy, of which 40,000
men are on the route to Naples ; 40,000 arc
to remain in cantonments near Ferraja, in
readiness to assist any Italian Princes, who
may be on had terms vvith their people ; and
10,000 are to constitute an army of reserve
within the frontier of Austrian Lombardy.
A note from Die Emperor of Austria i
talked of, in which he guarantees to the se
veral Courts of Italy their security, peace fo
independence,us established by the Congress
of Vienna.
We publish, such as we have received it,
a document purporting to be a letter from
Prince Mettc.rnieh to thn Minister of Baden,
on Die political state of Germany. The ob
ject ofthe letter seems to by to lay down a
fixed and inflexible rule for the conduct ofo-
very royal government at the present crisis.
That rule is very short; it is “ to preserve

\\ c f ake n further extract from the
Review i I Louis Bonaparte's history ot
Ins min.mist ration in Holland, in the last
North American Rev icw, containing ano
ther letter from Napoleon to hiiT bro
ther :
The relations between Holland and
France continued in this uncertain nnd
unfriendly state till towards the close of
the year 1009. lu the summer if that
year the Riilish made u descent upon tho
■ land of W iilchoren in Zealand, which
tuinul out more unfortunately than al
most any expedition ofthe war. One
of its edi cts Was to hasten the crisis of
affairs in Holland. A Frenchmrmy had
been collected in the bordering prov in
ces ofthe two countries to repel the Lri- ^
tish, and, after the lattar had disappear
ed, it was thought prudent by Napoleon
to improve this opportunity to execute
the project of union, which he hud foe'
some, uuie been meditating. The French
troops accordingly began to inarch into
Brabant and Zealand. Under these cir-'
cmnslnnecs it was necessary for Louis to
come to some decisive resolution with
regard to his own conduct. lie seems to
have inclined to the idea of concluding J
an alliance at uuce vvith England, mid o'p- ?
posing by force the emperor’s aggressi
ons. This determination, however mag
nanimous and spirited, would have been
evidently desperate and disastrous to the
country. It is true that the Dutch had
succeeded a century before by cutting
tho dikes, in opposing a temporary re
st-dance to Louis XIV, until the coalition
of the powers of Europe could come to
llirir niil. At present nothing could be
hoped from the continental states who
had all been crippled in the campaign erf
1809, nor after the expedition ofWnU
choren had jmt ended as it did, could as
sistance. he looked for from England. In
deed the European powers probably con
sidered the fate of Holland as decided,
when it was placed under the govern
ment of Louis, and would hardly have
thought it worth vvliilo to engage in a
war to prevent a union from taking place,
which already existed in substance
.Such were the ideas of the ministry ia
Holland, and Louis was advised not to
attempt an open resistance but to cudca-
vor, by making his broflier a visit at Pa»
ris. to conciliate his good will, & cliango
liis determinations. These had already
been announced by the ernperor vvifli-
out much disguise. After concluding at
Schocnbrtion the treaty of 1809, he was
heard to say to his ofliccrs—kc hare fi
nished our work here ; wc have nothing to
do now but lo march against Spain, and
especially against Holland. Louis arriv
ed at Paris the 1st of December of tho.
same year.
ile luid but little reason however to
be satisfied vvith the success of his jour
ney. If he had been treated vvith cold-,
ness and contempt at the time of liis ap-.
pointment to the crown, be was now
made the object of outrage and almost of
personal violence, lie was placed un
der guard in his house, and constituted
virtually a state prisoner. Advantage,
however, was taken of his presence to
make an overture to the British ministry
for the revocation cf the orders in coun
cil ; a private agent, M. Labouchere, of
the house of Hope Si Co. of Amsterdam,
was despatched to sound Lord Welles
ley, ostensibly as from the government
of Holland, and to let him know, that if
the orders were nut repealed, Holland
would certainly ho uuited to the French
empire. The British government, con
sidering their decrees ns retaliatory up
on France, and not being willing to take
the first steps in a common lepeul, decli
ned tiie overture. Every effort was now
employed by Louis to prevent the union,
although it L rather difficult to imagine,
what advantage he could expect by pro
tracting a litter longer a state of embar-.
rassiTient, which could not well he ex
pected to have any other conclusion,
considering the absolute inconsistency 1
of the object of Napoleon in placing him
in Holland, and Die principles ol’govern
ment he had adopted, in answer to it
loiter demanding an explanation of the
Emper's views upon Holland, the follow
ing reply was made by Napoleon.
.Sir, iny brother, I received the letter
ofyour majesty. You wish I should give
you to know my intentions with respect
lo Holland. When your majesty moun
ted the throne of Holland, a part of
the Dutch nation desired a union with
France. Tlie esteem, which I had been
taught by history to feci for that brave
nation, led me to desire (hat it shoul tv
preserve its name and independence. I
drew up a constitution myself, which wot
to be the base of your majesty’s throne,
and 1 placed you on it. 1 hoped that edu
cated near myself, you would have had
that attachment to France which she lias
a right to expect from her children, arid
still more from her princes. 1 hoped thut
educated in iny policy, yon would have
felt that Holland conquered by my people,,
owed its independence solely to their
generosity : that Holland, weak, w ithout'*)
alliance, and without an army, would and
should be conquered the day she opposed
herself directly to Franco ; that you had
no right lo seperate your policy from
mine, nnd that finally, Holland was bound
by treaties with me. I hoped that in pla
cing on the throne of Holland a prince
of iny own blood, 1 had discovered the
mezzo lerminc, which would conciliate
the interest* ofthe two stales, and unite
them in a common interest aod a com
mon hatred to England, and 1 was con
fident 1 had bcnelittcd Holland, as by my
act of mediation i had Switzerland. Ret
I soon found that 1 had amused myself by
a vain illusion : my hopes were decei
ved. Your majesty, on mounting ti o-
I throne of Hollnnd, fortrot you were a
l Frcuciiwin, and you have tried nil t t-
