      CHARGE OF TREASON AGAINST THE PRLME MINISTER OF SPAIN—STRANGE , BUT IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS . Intrigue is the order of the day . Oloziga of " golden-fieece' * notoriety , ha 3 been hurleiLfrom power by the intrigues of Narvaez and Co . and is even in some personal danger of being accused of ™ treason" ( 1 ) by his late friends and present enemies the Moderadoa . Jt appears that on the 28 ; h , M , Olozaga "went at SB Appointed hour in the evening to the Palace , and havinjg obtained a secret audience of her Majesty , after having closed ihe door and bolted it , lie proposed to the Qneen to sign the drcree dissolving the Cortes . The Queen objected , and wished to retire . M . Olozaga stopped the passage of her Majesty , and drew the bolts ef the second door to prevent her Majesty from retiring ; and the "Qaeen

      fearing sat down t 6 table , M . Olozaga . in a voice partly familiar , partly serions , said , * ' Vamos firma vuestra Majesta" The Qneen signed , and said nothing as to what happened ; but on the following day ( the 29 th ) , when rising , the Marchioness of Santa Crnz having asked what had passed at the interviewwith M . Olozaga , she told her the above facia , and asked what she ought to do . The Marchioness recommended to her to consult General Jfarraex , which she did , when" the general came to ihe Palace to demand the pass-word . The Qaeen told him what had happened , and Narraez immediately determined to call M- Pidal , General Serrano , M . Frias , M . Mazaredo , the military governor and political ehief of Madrid ; M . GoDzales Bravo , Snd MM . Alcoa -and Qointa , the vice-presidents of the Congress . The result was the decree 'dismissing OloELFa , which appeared in the Gazelle .

      This is one version , but we have another quite as likely to be true it ) n the evening of the 28 th , Olozaga repaired to ihe palaee , and presented the decree of dissolution to the Queen , who signed it , withont the least demur . as a matter of eonrse . To show that she was then ; « n the Tnosi cordial terms -vrith Ol 0 Z 3 ga , the inquired , as -was usual -with her , afttr bl 3 JOUng < iaoghter . and sent her by him & case of Lweet- i meats . This trivial incident shows at least that the ; trumped up story of violence being used , and the ] Qaeen leaving in tears , was all a mere fabrication . Had the Qneen resisted signing the decree , sbed ; tears , covered her face with her handsr as the i Heral { lo ~ b 2 s it to-day , and been actually forced by ; Olozsga to sign it , is ii credible thai at her age she '; -would have let the whole evening p » bb by , and have taken no sotice of it to the people who are always about her till the next day ?

      Therest of the Ministers have resigned j and Goni&les Bravo , a renegade Liberal is announced ts the person charged with forming the new governxnent . On the 1 st the Chambers met . The great point in flie Deputies was , whether Olozaga should have as opportunity allowed for stating what had occurred at the palace , and rebutting the charges circulated against him , The Moderados tried to prevent k , -on the ground that by becoming minister tehad eeased to be a deputy , and having been dismisseo from the minis-try ; , he had no light to at in the Chamber in eiv&er capacity . Olozaga , howtver , entered the bouse with the other members , and took his seat , and then , arose a tremendous uproar , the people in the galleries , which were thronged to over-Sowing , getting np and giving cheers ujfon " cheers as lie entered ihe house . There were , of eonrse , a few

      demonstrations of an opposite character . The tumult ¦ was so great tbat the President left the chair , and suspended the sitting for half an hour . Business -was resumed at the efid of that time , when the secretary , having read the rales of the house hearing upon the case , Olozaga got up and claimed his right to give the explanations be had to make to the Chamber and the country npon the important events that had transpired through the press ; be claimed the light , because , although subject to re-election by ihe constitution on becoming a minister , yet , by the standing rajes of the Chamber , it was necessary , before a member ' s seat was va-ated , that notice should be given by the secretary of the same , ana a fresh election be moved for z This rale had tot been complied with siiiee hs took riSee , and he claimed the benefit of tho omission , particular ! j as , under the eireEiBstanceSjhe had a claim upon the genero .-i ; y of the Chamber .

      This was violently opposed by the Moderados . TJltimateiy the p ? opoMiio » to exckice Olozaga and his colleagues was referred to the bureaux to appoint a ^ Commicsion to examine it , by a majority of 79 so 75 votes , the former being theProgretsisia party , aad toe litter the Moderados- Thus far Oitzags tanmphs . 2 ^ the Senate tie Qaeen ' s declaration was read Dy tioriales Bravo , in his capacity of chief notary , eonnraung the Hory circulated of OJosaga re-peC'ing tne ffianua- in which she hsd been induced : o si « u the ^ ecree dissolving the Cones .

      The press of Madrid , with the sole exception of the "Heroldo , was unsuimona in defending M . Olozaga . The fall of Olozagp has caused a great sensation in Paris . It ib said that Sing Louis Philippe is sorely disappointed at the result ; and Qaeen Christina , who sees in it not only the death of all her hopes of returning to Spain , hat the sudden stoppage of the million of pounds sterling ; which Oloziga had promised to her as the arrears of her salary as Regtnt , must be not a littte mortified . It is not likely that she will find another Minister so complaisant as to purchase her favour and support at the expense of a million . The Times Correspondent gives the following " plain , unvarnished tale" of the aoove extraordi n&ry intrignes , making the whole matter as plain as a pikestaff : —

      Madrid , Dec . 3 . —Afiairs of State are taking such an extraordinary tnrn here that even we natives , who are case-hardened in intrigne , ; arfi quite at a loss to predict what will be the end of all this ; and yon in England must be completely mystified . The facts , however , will speak for themselves , sad very serions disclosures they have made already ; these , however , neither senators , deputies , nor the press have yet dared to translate in every-day language , nor indeed would it be very Eafe to do so in Madrid ; so I shall beg your leave to do it via London .

      Imprimis , Donna Isabel Segunda is the nominal Queen of Spain , but La Marquesa de Santa Cruz , Chief Lady of the Bedchamber , is the real acting irresponsible one , subject only to ihe inspirations of Narvari , who pays a formal visit to the Palace every day , ostensibly to take orders ftom Ihe Queen for the customary dispositions in the garrison , according to Spanish etiquette , but really to receive his report from the said Camarera Mayor , and give her instructions for the ensuing day . This , and much more , "was perfectly well known to Senor Olezsga previous to his taking office a few days ago - ; he knew that the entire Royal Camarilla was hostile to him , and had vowed his destruction ; and he knew , too , that in forming a Ministry he had to expect , not only the enmity of the Palace , the

      opposition of the Alrancesado leaders of the army , and the jealous , though covert , counteraction of the Moderado senators and deputies , but the eager , daring , wilful proceedings of his Progresista rivals , who insisted on re-organizing the National Guard in Madrid tout a coup , and inviting a conflict with the military . All these he endeavoured to meet on the exigency of the moment . He suspended the act reuniting the civic fores . He disarmed the enmity of ihe Progresistas by his unexpected decree , which restored their rights and honours , andrecognized the legitimacy of the Government of Espartero ; aDd provided against the hostile votes of the insulted Moderadoes in Senate , and in Congress , by drarring up a decree for their dissolution the instant that a measure involving cens-ure shonld be introduced against him in either Chamber with any probability of

      success . However , vrith all cleverness , he conld not take measures sufficiently rapid to counteract the hostile movement of the Royal Camarilla . Although ho had on the first day of his Ministry prepared bis decree , dated in blank , for the dissolution of the Cortes , at his pleasure , and presented it to the Queen in his first private audience on the 28 ih inst ., yet the Captain-General and the Camarera Mayor had forestalled him . They had counselled the Queen " not to sign f and when the Prime Minister iaid his decree for signature before her , he found her primed with objections ; and then , ins ; ead of retiring and laying the result before the Cones , as a prudent man would have done , he explained and argued the point with

      the little girl , and still more imprudently bolted out the Camarilla at both sides of the cabinet , as Mendizabsl had frequently to do in his interviews with her mother . This , it appears , is the real state of the case , and constitutes the gravamen of offence committed by Olezsga . It was an insult to the listening ladies of the Bedchamber , whicn they have endeavoured to revenge by stating ii as offeree to the Qaeen , and a violence committed against her dignity ; and I must Fay ihat Oiozaga deserves all the annoyance he is enduring , for his folly in aatemping to hold the Queen " by the ears , " while he knew that her mind wa 3 taken captive by his enemies . They also have played their parts very badly in the affair . They allowed twenty hours to pass , vs iihoui making the Queen move in

      the matter : whereas , if the child had been insulted , as it is alledged , nothing would have been more natural ^ an for her to have complained of it on the instant that Seuor Olozaga had released her . The truth appears to be , that General Narvatz did not arrive at the Palaee till the afternoon of next day as usual , and the Marquesa would not venture on the explosion of snch a train withont his directions . Having delayed so long , they executed the accusation in a hurry , and followed it ap with sad breaches of etiquette . They neither sent for Senor Olozaga , nor the three Ministers who had tafcen office with him , bnt , on the contrary , called in their personal enemies to listen to the accusations put into the mouth of the Queen , and to record judgment of bi&li treason passed on them by the Camarilla .

      The rest of the letter is similar to the statements given above , wi ; h the exception of the following additional particulars : — Senor Olozaga has been these two days endeavouring to obtain a patient hearlDg from the CoDgress respecting his "aitack on the Queen . " His friends say that he has important revelations to make respecting the the influence of Ntrvacz in the palace , the intrigues now on foot in the Camarilla lor the marriage of the Queen with the son of Don Francisco , and also respecting a pension of 1 ,-OOOf . a month enjoyed from Paris , for the last three jears , by an inlluenti&l lady in the Pal&ce . To day it was decided that he must resign his seat in virtue of hi 3 previous acceptance of office , but that he should be heard in explanation . He declares hi 3 iunocence in the most solemn manner , but said that

      he would offer no commentary on the document which had been submitted to them from the Palace unless called on by the Chamber to do so , when he would be ready to afford every satisfaction ; but the Chamber ad j ourned before these proceedings could be entered into . His friends expect , now that he has been deprived of the protection of the Chamber by the loss of his position as Deputy , that he will be arrested and placed in close confinement on ihe charge of \ iu , h treason , to cheek , if possible , any further disagreeable disclosures ; but this recent persecution of a whole Cabinet by the Camarilla has raised him up friends amongst both Progre&istas , Moderados , and Exaltados when he least expected it . Even Isturiz and Salamanca declare that they will not join in such an attempt " to ruin a Prime Minister by an irresponsible Camarilla , " justly foreseeing perhaps that it may be their own fate next wt ek .

      Letters from Madrid of the 3 d state that considerable excitement prevailed at that data in ttia Spanish capital . The public rejoicings on the occasion of the Queen's majority had filled the streets

      I with an immense concourse of people . The crowd ; was so great on the square , where fountains flowing with miik and wine had been erected , thac the ; soldiers on duty occasionally were obliged to deal severe blows to the people . Jn the evening , a large ; assemblage collected before the town-house , uttering I vivas in favour of " the Constitution , " " Espartero , " i and " the Jiational Guard . " A detachment of : soldiers stationed at the Puerta del Sol was inv I mediately marched to the square , aud dispersed the 4 rioters . J At the sitting of the Corte 3 on the 3 rd , Olozaga ; entered upon ins defence : —

      ' M . Olozaga said he did not rise for the purpose i of offering any opposition to a motion for an address ) to her Majesty , but he neither could nor ought to be silent when what he bad to say nvght throw a Jight on the question . M . Olczaga then entered into a detail ol all the cirrum ? tances which preceded his appointment as the Queen ' s tutor . and having arrived ! at that point , declared tbathad never ceased during i tte whoiftof the time he had held that post to im-I press upon the mind of the Queen that , in OTder to govern upon constitutional principles , sovereigns i should never lend an ear on political matters to any other persons than the responsible advisers of the Crown . This doctrine bad , he saidj created for him ! amoEgst the persons ai the palace an antipathy

      which had augmented daily , and when he had been called io take upon himself the direction of publio zffiirs , the antipathy iLcreastd to positive hostility , and it was the resie ' . anco , occult or optn , that he mei , with from the persons in attendance on the Queen that prevented his composing a homogenous cabinet . To snch a height , indeed , had things reached , that he had been under the necessity of declaring that he would drive frc-m the palaco all wLo should interfere with political affaire , and most aESL'redly he would have carried his menaces iiito extc ur ion . The conviction that he would do so had brought upon him hatred and restntrnmt . On the vi 'xy cay after his nominafon to the cflice of Presic ' i vn ol the Council , he ' was astonished at being

      told by the Qaeen that ho must immediately form his cabnet ^ lor if he did net another person would compose a ministry . The person in question was not riismed by the Queen . It w& 3 , however , General Karvatz , yt 'ho would not even wait for the formation of the cabin , ^ t to manifest his opposition , so great was the prejudice of the palaoe against any cabinet that he ( M Oi ezaga ) might organize . In this stale of things all personal ponrader&tions counselled itst fremens into privmte life ; but he b » w that the Moderaaos were » bout to rush into a most furious opposition , aad he nade a sacrifice-of personal ease and

      Becurity to the * interests of his country . He preferred the welfare * of the country to his personal tranquillity . it woait i be e * sy , added * i .

      from the persons whose duties placed them near to the person of Her Majesty , that her orders had not been understood . Her Majesty herself , evidently deceived by the persons who surrounded her , told us herself that the dinner would not take place . By chance , however , it was discovered that there was an error in the counter order of the dinner , and it was forthwith served . It was exquisite , and was certainly not got up hastily , in consequence of our arrival . These are petty details , but they show the spirit that even in the most minute particulars existed towards the Cabinet in the Queen ' s household . I now come to more important master . I will Btate to you freely and without reserve , that I regarded the appointment of the president who now fills the

      chair in this Chamber as a fact of a most significant character . It was impossible for a cabinet composed of men belonging to the Progresista party to go on with a Chamber whose hostility was shown in the appointment of the president . Nobody , I think , under these circumstances , will venture to deny the right of the ministry to apply to the Queen for a decree for the immediate dissolution of the Cortes , it being certain that the cabinet could no longer act in accord with the Chamber . It was on this account he had agreed with bis colleagues as to the necessity of dissolving the Chamber , and for that purpose it was necessary to be prepared beforehand , which was also agreed to by his colleagues ; because if he waited till the crisis

      arrived , with the secret influences which surrounded the Queen , he might be defeated . He then came to the way in which tbat decree had been received , and he said he would make no comment on the account read by the minister on the subject . His respect for the constitutional throne , and his value for the prestige which it was more than ever necessary to throw around royalty , forbade him to do so . However , he could not altogether forbear from alluding to the charge brought against him , and he solemnly protested , on the word of a man who had no patrimony but his character , and who valued his honour more than his life , that he was innocent of the charge , and he placed himself entirely in their hands . ( M . Olozaga was at this time greatly overpowered by his feelings , and was quite unable to proceed for several minutes , during which time he was loudiy applauded from the eallerieB ) . He then

      proceeded to state that on the night of the 28 th he had a great deal of business to transact at the palace , and many documents requiring the Queen's signature which had to be read before signing them . Under such circumstances a littlo impatience might be manifested , and , supposing a minister in his situation had submitted any measure which did not at once meet the royal approbation , it was his duty in his situation to employ such means of persuasion as he might possess , to overcome that repugnance . His voice here betrayed the deepest emotion . He was compelled to stop several times , his utterance was choked by his sobs . He took Heaven to witness his innocence , protesting his unfailing repect for royalty , and repelling with indignant fervour the calumnies which has been heaped upon him by his enemies , and a malignant Camarilla , whose intrigues were fatal to interests of the country .

      While M . Olozaga was protesting with great energy against the calumny raised against him , the President adjourned the sitting , declaring that , the time allowed by the standing rulos of the Chamber had elapsed . At the sitting on the 4 th M . Olozaga resumed and concluded the vindication of his conduct . He stated that in the evening of the 28 th he repaired from the Ministry of Foreign Afiairs to the Palace , bringing a number of decrees , which he submitted to the approbation of the Queen , and which her Majesty actually approved and signed . The Qaeen had treated him with all the marks of kindness that a candid and grateful heart could express ; and when he took leate of her , she followed him , and , in

      presence of bystanders , saluted him most graciously . M . Olozaga then returned to the Ministry . Had he been guilty : of the attempt imputed to him , his guilt wonid have been betrayed by his emotion , and ho w . 'uld noi have left the Palaoe without having been arrested . Many hours of the night passed over , and the Minister remained quietly in his hotel , in conference with several foreign agents . In the morning of the 29 th , however , persona attached to the Royal Householdj&nnounced that the decree of dissolution of fln # Cortes had been signed , and that violence had been offered to the Queen to obtain her signature to the decree . The President of tho Chamber ^ it appears , was the first apprised of tho circumsiaiice , and those who Bhou ' . d have been informed of it fir .-t were the last to know it . M . Oiozaga then examined the stylo of the declaration put into the Queen ' s mouth , and contended tbat it little resembled the language used by her Majesty , aud that it

      was not accordingly her own . The means , besidos , employed to draw up the Royal act were illegal . He next directed the attention of the Assembly to a conspiracy , existing both in Spain and throughout Europe , agaiust the Constitutional Government . He had proofs of its existence , and knew for certain that there -were agents in Spain labouring to bring about the marriage of the son of Don Carl ' .: a with the Quetn . This statement was received-with cries of " . No , no ! " aud excited a tumult which the President appeased with much difficulty . M . Oloziga , however , pereioted in his declaration , and , after attacking the aoiors in the sceno at , the Palace who refused to allow him to be present and justify hirxj « df , and branding in energetic terms the inv prudc-iit courtiers who compromised thi throne , he concluded by recommending the adoption of the address to the Queen , and his own impeachment fur the offence with which he was charged .

      M . Pidal , the President , vacated the chair , and ascended the tribune . He said , that the disclosures j and arguments of Olozjga merely tended to con- " vioce him of the truth of the words of the Queen , which he had never doubted , and which no Spaniard should donbt . The remainder of his speech consirted of recriminations against M . Olozaga , for his desertion of the banner of conciliation , and his chooging his colleagues in the Ministry from among the Progesista party alone . As respected his interference in th ' e affair then before the Chamber , M . Pidal stated , that the first time he was sent for by

      the Queen , and heard from her lips the account of the violence she had suffered , he could not refrain from shedding tears , on witnessing the simpliciiy , innocence , and accent of truth with which Her Majesty narrated the fact . The dismissal of M . Olozaga had betn constitutional , for it was recommended not only by him CM . Pidal ) , but likewise by ail the persons present , and the Ministers Serrano and Friaa . The coalition had been dissolved , but it was by those who sat on tho left bunches of the House . M . Pidal having concluded , the Assembly , owing to the lateness of the hour , adjourned .

      More Blood . —The Times correspondent writing from Madrid on the 4 th , says : —Last night , as the clock of the Puerta del Sol was striking ten , and the post-office window was bolted against foreign c » TTE ? poiidents . a volley was heard in the adjoining ¦ street ( La Calle Mayor ) , and soon after another , and another , aud another ! The tro ps and tho people wtre firing on each other in front , of La Villa ( the Town-house of Madrid ); and thus terminated the third and most festive of tho three days appointed to celebrate the Queen's accession to power , upon "which fountains of milk and wine were set running in the Plaxi Mayor , in honour of the happy event , i music was heard in the principal tquares , the public I building illuminated , and the crowd in front of the

      brilliant viila were dancing to their national airs , , ' The origin of this sudden change from festivity to warfare was related to me by an eye-witness . Four well-dressed men were walking along the ] Calle Major amusing themselves , compelling ihose ! whom'they--met to cry Viva la Reina and Aluera Espartero , with various success—the majority avoiding or tolerating them as a drunken partyan exhibition exceedingly rare in Madrid , where the street population is exemplary on the score of sobriety , and the observance ol that cardinal poiut [ of politeness , non-interfereHce with each other . ; They at iaet met with one poor t ' tUew who was quiie a ? sturdy as polite , aud took their request very seriously . Ho insisted ou crying Viva Reina

      Conslitutional , and not crying Muera Esparlero ! whereupon they fell upon him and thrashed him . Fie ' resisted aud returned the blows , when cane b word a : were drawn on rum by the party , and he prudently \ ran away towards La Villa , calling for assistance . I The foufaggrestors pursued him , ana one dis-clvarged : a pistol , whereupon lue dauce broke ud , and plenty : of paisanos caiae to the rescue . The offenders i were pronounced to ba officers in disguise , in-. tent on getting up an alboroto ( -omethiug nioro ; than a riot ) , as an excuse for calling ouc i the troops , and perhaps declaring a state of j siege in the city . Peaceful people , women , and ; children inatantly ran home by back streets ; the [ hardier stayed and awaited the conflict . The result ¦ 1 only know by general repert ; that troops hurried , to the spot from the Pest-office and charged on the ' . people ; that fire-arms were discharged on both sides ;

      and tbat individuals were kiUod and wounded in the crowd ; how many it is at present impossible to learn , for the friends of the sufferers in such cases are not very willing to complain cf personal sufferings which might lead to greater in the shape of prosecutions , imprisonment , and the infliction of capital punishment at the hands of the offended military authorities , eager to make " examples . " Two dea ' ha amongst the citizens are already confessed , but individuals who ought to know say that they amount to five , and that the wounded are nineteen . Amongst them is a lady , om of a private pariy , who was seated in a coffee-house in the Calle Mayor , into which a ball from * soldier ' s musket entered and wounded he # in the hip . This moraing the angry feelings of the populace had not subsided at the hour when the Congress assembled , and tho result of their expression was that the troopa were ordered to clear the Piazi del Oriente with fixed bayonets .

      Another correspondent of the Times slates that the foiled Moderados , finding Olozng a , pron to ihe terrors of imprisonment , ( with the extra , anticipation of beingfound dead therein Borne fine mcrning , and a bottle of poison placed at his right hand , so that it nrght . be taken for granted he had cominiUed suicide in despair , ) they have opened negeciaiions with him to stop his mouth , promising , as the con-

      sideration , to s ecure his _ embassy to France onca more and even to allow him to abuse the Cimarula to his heart ' s content , but to leave Luis Qoszales Bravo and Narvaez in command here . The Duke de Glucksburg is the mediator , and the negotiations for " peace at any price" were going on at the French , Embassy till four o'clock this morning Olozaga was willing to accede to the ooriipromise , but Cortina , who now is at the head of a powerful opposition in the

      Congress , and on whom Olozaga relies for fair-play , would not listen to the " transaction" He insists on the resignation of the Camarilla , that is , in fact , on Narvaez retiring from his post of Captain-General and La Marquesa of Sanfcu Cruz from that of Camerara Mayor . As to Gonzales Bravo , he says , " He will fall of himself . " Thus party war still is the order of the day . I understand that orders to that effect have also been sent to the provinces . A ^ ifew score of insurrections are expected next month .

      Barcelona . —The PJiare of Bayonne states , from its correspondent on . the Catalonian frontier , who writes under the date of the 2 iid instant , that General Sanz , the Captain-General of the Province , had arrived at Figaeras on the 1 st with a battalion of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry . Previously to his leaving Barcelona , he had i ublished a proclamation , expelling from that city every person who bad taken any part in the late insurrection .

      Canada . —It is reported that Sir Charles MetcaJf has resigned the Governorship . Severe indisposition is assigned as the cause . PORTUGAL—The Govermenfe having undertaken no less than 130 prosecutions of the press since 1840 , in all of which they have failed , not obtaining a solitary conviction ! I have introduced the project of a law . to prevent the " abuses" of the press . The opposition journals , it is hardly necessary to arid , treat of it in terms of unmeasured reprobation . The Tribuno of tho 27 ih instant concentrates the import of two columns of comment in the followiag suggestion : — " The people from this time ought to form associations in all the towns and villages . '

      In the government papers , co-existent with the publication of the project of law for suppressing " the abuses of the proas , " an ordinance appears for a new recruitment , for the purpose of bringing the effocuve miltary force to the complement of twenty-four thousand men—the standing army fixed by the Cortes for the present year , which had undergone a considerable diminution from desertion and other causes . The nature of the remedy for the abuse of the liberty of the press is such as to render measures of precaution of this kind its necessary accompaniments .

      GREECE . —The new National Assembly of Greece was opened at Athens , on the 20 th ult ., by the King in person , who made a speech from the throne , in which he said , " Free municipal laws , provincial councils , and trial by the jury , were the precursors of representative government in Greece . Our task now is to place ; the crowning stone on tho edifice , by the introduction and establishment of a Constitution . " United States , —Philadelphia , Not . 19 , 1843 . —Another movement has taken place in the

      Oregon , question . Tha committee appointed at a public meeting in Philadelphia , have published an address to American cit . z ns residing in Oregon , recommending that Congress should pass laws taking Oregon into possession , make military roads , &c . In one passage in says : ^— " We want no treaty—we might as well make a treaty with Great Britain about Philadelphia . " ? • "Let 30 , 000 Americans , each with a stout heart , aud a stanuch rifle in his hand , emigrate to Oregon , and we shall have no war . " Tho document will be read

      with deep interest in England . . Remember , there are now seventeen English forts , stations , or villages in the Oregon territory , and quite a large settlement at the mouth of the Columbia . Every day developes more and more the danger of this question , which ought to bo settled without further delay . I have no hesitation in assorting that , in the treaty of Washington , it might have been settled with greater facilities to both nations than now . What a shocking blunder—tho omission ! The popular feeling in this country is adverse to allowing to England a single foot of ground , int ' io Oregon territory , either north or south of the Columbia .

      The new *• Native Americans , " or " American Republican" party , in New York , have held two or three meetings , at which the leading Whi ^ s and leading democrats havo been blamed as the mere heads of faction ? . The speakers and resolutions say — *• We want a truly American and republican feeiing to prevail to sustain the honour and the credit of the country , both at homo and abroaa . They have been sacrificed to faction . We will restore them !" This party , depend upon it , will augment rapidly in power , influence , and numbers . But the most extraordinary feature in it at the present tiinp is the hostility it exhibits against the Church of Rome . This feeling has been called out in coueequenee of his Holiness , the Pope , having recently " appointed several new Bishops in the United States . The " American Republicans" arft adverse to the Pope exerting any kind of power whatever in the United States .

      The Madxsonian is still urging the annexation of Texas to the United States , and is followed and supported bythepras of the South . That of tho North is averse to the admission of Toxas , oxoept as a free state . These aro merely the proludos to stormy debates on that most exciteablo of sub jecla in the coming Congrosa , for it is clear that the Texas annexation question will op < n the whole matter of slavery in its consideration at Washington .

      Mr . Clark ' s Tour , —On Thursday evening , I attiuded a public meeting in the Chartist chapel , Boar-lane , Bristol . Tho purpose of the meeting was to protest against the Government prosecutions oi Mr . O'Conneli and other leading members of the Irish Repeal Association . Mr . Simeon , in an able speech , proposed the first resolution , which was unanimously adopted , Mr . Evans moved the second resolution , I spoke nearly an hour in support of it ; it was likewise enthusiastically carried . At the close I had the gratification to learn that my addresses on the Irish question , had removed much of tbat unfounded prejudice , which unfortunately has so long kept the English and the Irish working-men at daggers' drawn . On Friday morning week I left

      Bristol by the 'Brilliant , ( steam-packet ) , for Cornwail . The vreather was fine , the voyage a pleasant one for eueh as could epjoy U ; I was not of that number . Five o ' clock ; on Saturday morning found me landed safe at Hale , having , in less than twenty , two hours , sailed , ot rather steamed , a distance of % }* miles . A deputation from Camborne , a email town about seven miles from the coast , waited upon me . I accompanied them to their town , where I last night addressed a meeting in the open air . The attendance was not so large as was anticipated owing to the unpropitious Btate of the weather yet so eager were the " workies" to hear the truths of Chartism , that out of about 250 persons present , not more . ; -than six or sevea stirred until the business was coucluded .

In the first , he had , shown that the detached forts wonld avail little against the enemy , but might , sooner or later , place tbe liberties and institutions of the country , and the KveB of the citizens of Paris , at the mercy of & few " pretorians . In his second letter , he demonstrates the necessity of fortifying Paris , tut contends than an enceinte continues in masonry with bastions , ought to sufiise for the defence of that capital . Vauban and Napoleon ( he - observes ) supply him with , the strongest arguments in support of hk system , which had , besides its efficacy , the no less Taluahle advantage of being in no wise dan ° erons to the liberties of I"rance .

      The Legitimist Kixg . " —M . de Chateaubriand has arr ived in Paris . The Legitimist papers give the names of a great many more of the Arst nobility in Prance who are flocking to London to join in the demonstration in favour of the Duke of Bordeaux . Among them is one gentleman who carries an address from two thousand families in Paris , who express their feelings of devotion to the Royal Dake , and state that nothing bnt their poverty prevents them from Joining their compatriots in paying their respects to ium . The aim of the Legitimist papers evidently is to shew that the feeling in favour of the exiled Bourbons is not confined to the upper classes , but is universal . It is not donbted that tbe London demonstration will be made the subject of a motion in the Chamber j and indeed it is hardly possible for the Government to pass over in silence such a flagrant insult to the reigning dynasty as that of addressing Ibe yovcoi Dnke as King of Prance . * .

      FOREIGN MISCELLANY . Disorders in Hungary . —The Journal de Frankfort has a letter from Presburg of the 26 th tile , which says : — " A spirit of disorder has lately been so violently displayed in this city , that tho Grand Equerry of Hungary , who is at the head of the police of the kingdom , has published a proclamation , announcing that tho Emperor has issued an ordonnance forbidding the collection of all bodks of the people in the streets , either by day or night , under any pretence whatever . Thb Slave Tkade . —Kxtraot of a letter received at Lloyd ' s from their agent at St . Vincent ' s : — A slaver , for the negroes , were seen on deck with the naked eye , and two other vessels bearing all the

      ^ appearance of carryiug on the same dreadful traffic , have passed down the south-east channel of this island within the last four weeks . They run close over to the Bignia shore until they run about ten miles past the west end of that island , and then haul away to the northward . No doubt one of them is the saroe as seen out ; of ihe Commercial Room windows at Barbadoes . Captain Petty , of the brig Belfast , now here , says one possed close under his stern , and that he saw tho negroes on deck . The owners of these slavers are well aware that during the hurricane months nearly all men-of-war are snugly ensconced in the Carenage , Grenada , and run down this clear passage in three

      or four hours , and then bear away for Porto Rico or Cuba perfectly sate . A small fast steamer , during the hurricane season , could lie in Calloaqua , a smooth , sale , and hurricane-bound harbour , and by having a look out from Fort De ? irueUe could interrupt one of these vessels with the greatest ease . If government were to station a small fast sailing steamer there during ihe next hurricane months , if it should be as it has been this year , thty would take from 1500 to 2000 negroes , without saying what may pass during lho niyht ; but if the parties should get &ct > nt of it 1 suppose they * will take th « St .
