CHARGE OF TREASON AGAINST THE PHLME MINISTER OF 5 PAIS—STRANGE , BUT IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS . Iniiigne is the order of tbe day . Oloziga © f " golden-fleece' * notoriety , has been hnrledJrom power by the intrigues of Narvaez and Co . and is eren in some personal danger of being accused of ™ treason" ( J ) by his late friends and present enemies tbe Moderados . Jt appears that on the 28 > h , M , Oloz&ga went at SB appointed hoar in the ereu ' mg to the Palace , and having obtained a secret audience of her Majesty , after haying closed tbe door and bolted it , lie proposed to the Queen to sign the drcree dissolving the Cortes . The Queen objected , and ¦ wished to
leiire . M . Olozaga stopped ihe passage of her Majesty , and drew the bolts ef the second door to prevent her Majesty from retiring ; acd the "Qaeen taring sat down ti table , M » Olczaga , in a / voice partly familiar , partly serions , said , * ' Tamos firma vuestra Majesta . 31 The Queen signed , and said nothing as to what happened ; but on the following day ( die 29 th ) , when rising , the Marchione 53 of Santa Cruz having asked what had passed at the interview . with M . Olozaga , she iold ier the above faets , and asked what she ought to do . Tiie Marchioness recommended to her to consult Genera ] KarraeijTrhichshe did , when ' the general came to ihe Palace to demand the password . The Queen iold him what had happened , and Uarraez
immediately determined to call M- Pidal , General Serrano , M . Frias , M . Mazaredo , the military governor and political chief of Madrid ; M . GoDzales Bravo , and MIL Aleon and Qainta , the -riee-presidents of the Congress . The result was the deeree "dismissing Ok'Eiga , which appeared in the Gazelle . This is one -version , bnt we have another quite as likely to be true : — On the evening of the 28 th , Olozaga repaired to ihe palace , and presented the decree of dissolution to the Queen , who signed it , withont the least demnr . as a matter ofeonrse . To show that she was then
< m the ipost cordial terms -vrith Ol 0 Z 3 g » , the iBqTarred , as -was -asnal -smb her , afttr his ^ Oung daughter , and sent her by him a case of j , weetmeata . This trivial incident shows at least that the trumped up story of violence being used , and the Queen leaving in tears , was all a mere fabrication . Had the Queen resisted signing the decree , shed tears , covered her face with her handsr as the Ueraldo has it to-day , and been actually forced by Olozaga to sign it , is it credible that at aer age she -would have let the whole evening pass by , and have taken no notice of it to the people who are always aixrat her till the next day !
The rest of the Ministers ha-ve resigned % and Gon-Ekles Bravo , a renegade Liberal is announced ts the person charged with forming the new government . ' . On the 1 st the Chambers met . The great point in ihe Deputies was , whether Olozaga should have an opportunity allowed for stating what had occurred at the palace , and rebntting the charges circulated against Em , The Moderados tried to prevent it , -on the ground that by becoming minister L e hati eeased to be a depaty , and having been dismissec from the ministry ; , he had no right to sit in the Chamber m tuner capaciW . Olozaga , however Altered Vhe hou = e with the other members , and toofc his seat , and then , arose a tremendous uproar , th < people in the galleries , which were thronged to over Sowing , getting up and giving cheers upon " cheers a : he entered ihe house . There were , of course , a fev
demonstrations of an opposite character . The tumult ¦ was eo great that the President left the chair , and suspended the string for half an hour . Business -was Tesmaed at the end of th&s time , when the teeretary , ha-riug read the rales of tbe house hearing upon the case , Olozaga got up and claimed his right to give the explanations he had to make to the Chamber and the ceuntry npon the important events that had transpired through the press ; he claimed the right , because , although subject to re-election by the constitution on becoming a minister , yet , by the stanoicg raJes of the Chamber , iiTvas necessary , before a member ' s seat was Ta-ated , that notice shonld be given by the secretary of the same , ana a fresh election be moved for z This rale had iu > t been complied with since hs took rfnee , and he claimed the beceSt of tha omission , particulariy as , under the circumstances , he had a claim upon the geneio .-i ; y of the Ckambfer .
This was "violently opposed by tbe Mw ? era < 3 os intimately the proposition to eseJoce Olozaga arc Ms colleagues was referred to the bureaux to appoint a ^ Commiesion to examine it , by a majority of 79 ti 75 Totes , the former being theProgrebsista party , asc the litter the Moderados .

The press of Madrid , with tha sole exception of the 'Serzddo , was unanimous in defending M . Olozaga . The fall of Olozagp has caused a great sensation in Paris . It is said that Xing Louis Philippe is sorely disappointed at the result ; and Queen Christina , who sees in it not only the death of all her hopes of returning to Spain , but the sudden stoppage of the million of pounds sterling ; which Olozsga had promised to her as the arrears of her salary as Regent , must be nor a little mortified . It is not hkely 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 above extraordinary inirignes , making the whole matter as plain as a pikestaff : —
M adbtd , Dec . 3 . —Affairs of Slate are taking guch an extraordinary tnrn here that even we natives , who are case-hardened in intrigue , ars 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 , and very serious disclosures they hare made already ; these , however , nekher senators , deputies , nor tbe press have yet dared to translate in every-day language , nor indeed would it be Tery safe 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 < he inspirations of Narvacz , who pays a formal visit to the Palace every day , ostensibly to take orders ftom tie Queen for the customary dispositions in the garrison , according to Spanish etiquette , but really to receive his report from tbe said Camarera Mayor , and give her instructions for the ensuing day . This , and ranch more , was perfectly well known to Senar Olc-zaga 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 Airancesado leaders of the army , and the jealous , though covert , counteraction of the Morierado senators and deputies , but the eager , dar ing , wilful proceedings of his Progresista rivals , who insisted on re-organiztng the National Guard in Madrid tout a coup , and inviting a conflict with the mHitary . 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 the Progresistas by his unexpected decree , which restored , taeir rights and honours , andrecognized the legitimacy of the Government of EspsTteio ; and provided again 3 t the hostile votes of the insulted Moderadoes in Ssnate , and in Congress , by drawing up a decree for their dissolution the instant that a
measure involving cens-ure shonla be introduced asamst him in either Chamber with any probability of
success . However , vrith all cleverness , he could rot take measures suSciently rapid to counteract the hostile movement of Ihe Royal Camarilla . Although ho had on the first day ot his Ministry prepared bis decree , dated in blank , for the dissolution of the Cortes , at his pleasure , and presented it to the Queen in hia first private audience on the 28 ih inst ., yet the Captain-General and the Camarera Mayor bad 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 retinng and laying the result , before the Corses , 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 sidea of the cabinet , as Alendizabal had frequently to do in bis interviews with her mother . This , it appears , is the real state of the case , and constitutes the gravamen of offence committed by Olozsga . It was an insult to the listening ladies of the Bedchamber , whicu they have endeavoured to revenge by stating it as offence to the Qaeen , and a violence committed against her dignity ; and I must Fay that OJozaga deserves all the annoyance he is enduring , for his folly in wtemping to hold the Queen " by tho ears , " while he knew that her mind was taken captive by his enemies . They also have played their parts very badly in the affair . They allowed twenty hours to pass , Hiihoui making tbe Queen move in
the matter : whereas , if the child had been insulted , as it is alledged , noxbiDg would have been more natural tlxan for her to have complained of it on tho instant that Senor Olozaga had released her . Tho truth appears to be , that General Jsarvatz 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 taken office with him , hut , on the contrary , called in their personal enemies to li&ten to the accusations put into the mouth of the Queen , and to record judgment of high 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 Oloz 3 gahas been these two days endeavouring to obtain a patient hear . 'Dg from tbe CoDgress respecting his " attack on the Queen . " His friends say that he has important revelations to make respecting tbe the influence of Ntrvacz in the palace , the intrigues now ou foot in the Camarilla for the marriage of the Queen with the son of Don Francisco , and also respecting a pt > c = ion of l . OOOf . & month enjoyed from Paris , for the last three years , by an iniluenti&l lady in tho Pal&ce . To day it was decided that he must resign his seat in virtue of hi 3 previous acceptance of of&Ve , 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 tho Palace uniess called on by the Chamber to do so , when he would be rtady to afford every satisfaction but the Chamber ad j our Bed before these proceedings could be entered into . His friends expect , now that he has been deprived of the protection of the ChamVr by tbe loss of his position as Deputy , that he will be srrested and placed in close confinement on ihe charge of Li-h treason , to cheek , if possible , any further disagreeable dirclosores ; but this recent persecntion of a . whole Cabinet by thfe Camarilla has xaised him up friends amongst both Progresisias , Moderados , and Exakados when he least expected it . Even Ist-nm and Salamanca declare that they will not join in guch 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 coimder-| able excitement prevailed at that Uata in the ! Spanish capital . The public rejoicings on the ocj casion 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 . In the evening , a large ; assemblage collected before the town-house , uUerini I vivas in favour of " the Constitution , " " Esparterot " i and " the National Guard . " A detachment of ; soldiers stationed at the Puerta del Sol was im-I mediately marched to the square , and dispersed the i rioters . j At the sitting of the Corie 3 on the 3 rd , Olozaga ; entered upon nis defence : —
• M . Olozaga said be did not rise for the purpose i of offering any opposition to a motion for an address ) to her Majesty , but he neither couid nor ought to be ¦ silent when what he had to say nrght throw a light on the question . M . Okzaga then entered into a detail ol all the cirnimstances which preceded his appointment as the Queen's tutor , and having arrived ' at tliat point , declarea that had never ceased during i the ¦ whoift of the rime he had hald that post to im-¦ preES upon the mind of the Queen that , in order to 1 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 had , he said , created for him : amongst the persons at the palace an antipathy
which had augmented daily , and when he had been called io take upon himself the direction of publio zffdirs , the antipathy itcreastd to pentive hostility , snditwas the resistance , occult or open , that he mti with from the persons in attendance on the Qaeen that prevented his composing a homogenous cabinet . To such a height , indeed , had things reached , that he had been under the necessity ot declaring that he would drive frc-m the paJaco all wLo should interfere with political affaire , and most assi . \ redly he would have carried his menaces into extt urion . The conviction that be would do so had Ivought upon him hatred and re&tntmtnt . On the vi \ ry eay after his nominafon to the cflice of Presidi vit ot the Council , he was astonished at being
told by the Qnees that ho must immediately form his cabiiet ^ lorif he did nut another person would compose a ministry . The person in question was not named by the Queen . It was , however , General Karvatz , y , 'ho would not even wait for the formation of the cabin , ^ t to manifest his opposiiiou , so great was the prejudice of the palaoe against any cabinet that he ( M O / eaga ) might organize . In this stale of tinngg au personal coprader * tions counselled retirement into private life ; but he saw that the ¦ Moderacos were * bout to rush into ft most foriouB opposition , asd he Bade a sacrifice « f personal ease and
Becurity to the' interests of his country . He preferred the welfare' of the country to his personal trarqaiUity . it -woult **> easy , added JO . OlcBJga , to enumerate a thousand instances of the ill-will against which 1 have ^ ad to struggle : one shall suffice . On the day when * ere was some disturbance in Madrid , I and my colleagues proceeded to the royal residence of the . Pardo . Htr ' M ^ csty bad done us tie honour to invit ^ us to dine with her .

from the persons whose duties placed them near to the person of Her Majesty , that her orders had not been understood . Iler 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 aTe petty details , but they Bhow the spirit that even in the most minute particulars existed towards the Cabinet in the Queen ' s household . I now come to more important matter . I will state 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 his colleagues as to the necessity of dissolving the Chamber , and for that pnrpose it waa 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 whioh that 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 neoessary 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 gallerieB ) . 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 ba read before signing them . Under such circumstances a littles 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 posses , 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 tbe calumny raised against him , tlia President adjourned the sitting , declaring that the time allowed by the standing rules of the Chamber had elapsed . At the sitting on the 4 th M . Olozaga resvmed and concluded the vindication of his conduct . He stated that in the evening of the 28 th he repaired from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 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 Queen had treated him with all the marks of kindness that a candid and grateful heart could express ; and when he took leave 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 not have left the Palace 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 ih , however , persons attached to the Royal HousiholdTannounced that tho decree of dissolution of nif 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 Lho circumstance , and those who should havo been informed of it firrt were the last to know it . M . Oiozaga then examined the etyleof the declaration put intotht Queen ' s mouth , and contended that it little resembled the language used by her Majesty , aud tbat it
was not accordingly her own . Tho means , besidos , employed to draw up the Royal aot were illegal . He next directed the attention of the Assembly to a conspiracy , existing both in Spain and throughout Europe , against 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 Carina with the Quetn . Tbis statement was received-with cries of "No , no ! " and exciud a tumult which the President appeased with much difficulty . M . Oloziga , however , persioted in his declaration , aud , after attacking the aciors in the sceno at the Palace who refused to a . ' luw him to be present and justify himself , and branding in energetic terms the imprudent courtiers who compromised tbi throne , he concluded by recommending the adoption of the address to the Queen , and liis 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 and arfcoments of Olozjga merely tended to convince him of the truth of tlie words of ttie Queen , which he had never doubted , and which no Spaniard should donbt . The remainder of hia speech consisted of recriminations against M . Olozaga , for his desertion of the banner of conciliation , and his choosing his colleagues in the Ministry from among the ProgesiBta party alone . As respected hia interference in the affair then before the Chamber , M . Pidal stated , that the first time he waB Bent for by
the Queen , and heard from her lips the account of the violence ehe had suffered , he could not refrain from shedding tears , on witnessing the simplicity , innocence , and accent of truth with which Her Majesty narrated the fact . The dismissal of M . Olozaga had been constitutional , for it was recommended not only by him CM . Pidal ) , but likewise by ail the persons present , and the Ministers Serrano and Triaa . Tho coa ' iition had been dissolved , but it was by those who sat on tho left benches of the House . M . Pidal having concluded , the Assembly , owine to the lateness of the hour , adjourned .
More Blood . —The Times correspondent writing from Madrid on the 4 lh , says : —Last night , as the ciock of the Puerta del Sol was striking ten , and the post-office window was bolted against foreign csiTreppondents , a volley was heard in the adjoining street ( La Calle Mayor ) , and soon after another , and another , aud another 1 Tho tro ps and tho people were firing on each other in front of La Villa ( the Town-house of Madrid ); and thuB 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 inihcFlaxi Mayor , in honour of the happy event , music was heard in the principal squares , the public building illuminated , and the crowd in front of the
brilliant viila were dancing to their natioual airs , The origin of this sudden change from festtviiy to warfare was related to me by an eye-witnesa . Four well-dressed men were waiking along tbe Calle Major amusing themselves , compelling those whom they met to cry Viva la Reina ana Muera Espartero , with various success—the majority avoiding or tolerating them as a drunken parcyan exhibition exceedingly rare in Madrid , where the strees population is exemplary on the score of sobnery , and the observance ol tbat cardinal poiut of politeness , non-interfereHCO with each other . They at iaet mei wuh one poor ftllew who was quive a ? sturdy as polite , aud took their request very seriously . Ho insisted ou crying Viva Reina Constitutional , and not crying Muera Esparlero . ' when - upon they fell upon him and thrashed him . Fie
: resisted aud returned the blows , when cane bwords ; were drawn on ium by the party , and he prudently \ ran away toward 3 La Villa , calling for assistance . [ The four ' aggre&iors pursued him , ana one duclvarned : a pistol , whereupon the dance broke ud , and plenty ; of f > aisanos cairie to the rescue . The offenders ! were pronounced to ba officers in disguise , in-| tent on gering up an alboroto ( something nioro i than a riot ) , as an excuse for calling out i the troops , and perhaps declaring a state of ; siege in the city . Peaceful people , women , and ¦ children inatantly ran home by back streets ; the hardier stayed and awaited the conflict . The result J o » ly know by general rc-pcrt ; that troops hurried to the spot from the Pest-eflico and charged ou the people ; that fire-arms were discharged on both sides ; and ibat individuals were killod 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 bands of the offended military authorities , eager to make " examples . " Two deaths amongst the citizens are already confessed , but individuals who ought to know say that they amount to five , and that tbe wounded are nineteen . Amongst them is a lady , onB of a private pariy , who was seated in a ooffee-houBe in the Calle Mayor , into which a bail from a soldier's musket entered and wounded htifHa the hip . This moraing the angry feelings of the populace had not subsided at the hour when the Congress assembled , and tns . xesult of their expression was that the troops were ordered to clear the Plazi del Oriente with fixed bayonets .
Another correspondent of the Times states that the foiled Moderados , finding Olozaga pron to ; he terrors of imprisonment , ( with the extra , sinicipati-n of being . / ound dead therein some fine mcrning , and a b&Ule of poison placed at his right band , so j that it nrght . De taken for granted he had comrciUed micide in despair , ) they have opened negociaiions with him to stop his mouth , promising , as th < = c ? Q >'

sideration , to secure his ^ . embassy to France once more and even to allow him to abuse the C . imarula to his heart ' s contend but to leave Luis t ionzalea Bravo and Narvaez in command here . The Duke de Gluckeburg 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 compromise , 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 Narvarz retiring from his post of Captain-General and La Marquesa of Santa 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 thai-effect have also been sent to the provinces . A ^ flew score of insurrections are expected next month .
Barcelona . —The Phare of Bayonne states , from its correspondent on the Catalonian frontier , who writes under the date of the SSiti instant , that General Sanz , the Captain-General of the Province , had atrived at Figaeraa on the 1 st with a battalion of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry . Previously to his leaving Barcelona , he had > ublished a proclamation , expelling from that city every person who had taken any part in the late insurrection . "Madrid , Dec . 5—Tbe Ministry has been this day constituted . M . Gonzales Bravo , President of the Council ; General Maserado , Minister of War ; Marquis of Penaflorida , Minister of the Interior ; M . Mayans , of Justice : M . Portillo , of the Navy . The Minister of Finance is not yet appointed . The debate on the projected address is not yet concluded . Madrid is tranquil .
Canada . —It is reported that Sir Charles Metca / f has resigned the Governorship . Severe indisposition is assigned as the cause . PORTUGAL . —The Goverment having undertaken no les * than 130 prosecutions of the press since 1840 , in all of which they have failed , not obtaining a solitary conviction 11 have introduced the project of a law . to prevent the " abuses" of the press . The opposition journals , it is hardly necessary to add , treat of it in terma of unmeasured reprobation . The Trxhuno of tho 27 th instant concentrates the import of two columns of comment in the following
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 u the abuses of the press , " an ordinance appears for a now recruitment , for the purpose of bringing the effocMve miltary force to the complement of twenty-four thousand men—the standing army fixed by the Cortes for the present year , which bad 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 waa 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 stono 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 . The committee appointed at a public meeting in Philadelphia , have published an addreBB to American citiz ns residing in Oregon , recommending that Congress should pass taws 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 , and a stanuch rifle in his hand , emigrate to Oregon , and we shall have no war . " The 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 asserting that , in the treaty of Washington , it might have been settled with greater facilities to both nations than now . What a shocking blunder—tho omisBion ! The popular feeling in this country is adverse to allowing to England a single foot of ground , intfio 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 factions . The speakers and resolutions say —** . We want a truly American and republican feeiing to provail to sustain the honour and the credit of the country , both at homo » nd 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 time is the hostility it exhibits against the Church of Rome . This feeling has been called out in consequence 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 bythep ^ s 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 moat exciu-ablo of sub jecls in the coming Congress , for it is clear that the Texaa annexation question will op < n the wholo matter of slavery in its consideration at Washington . WEST INDIES . —Lord Elgin opened the Session of the House of Assembly at Jamaica on the 24 th of October .

At the close I hod 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 . Tfa © weather was fine , the voyage a pleasant one for eueh as could enjoy it ; I was not of that number . Five o ' clock on Saturday morning found me landed Bafe at Hale , having , in less than twentytwo hours , sailed , or rattier steamed , a distance of 20 # 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 tho unpropitioua state of the weather yet so eager were the " workies" to hear the truths of Chartism , that out of about 250 persons present , not more tban six or seven stirred until the business was concluded . On Saturday I sha ! l again lecture in the same place , when I expect a large gathering In my n « 5 tl shall enter fully into the state of feeling in the west .

FOREIGN MISCELLANY . Disorders in Hungary . —The Journal de Frankfort has a letter from Presburg of the 26 th nit ., 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 bodies of the people ia the streets , either by day or night , under any pretence whatever .
The Slave Trade . —Kxtraot of a letter received at Lloyd ' s from their agent at St . Vincent's : — " A slaver , for the negroes were seen ou deck with the naked eye , and two other vessels bearing all the ^ appearance of carrying 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 tha northward . No doubt one of them is the same as seen out of the 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 tor Porto Rico or Cuba perfectly sate . A small fast steamer , during the hurricane season , could lie in Calloaqua , a smooth , sale , and hurricane-bound harbonr , and by having a look out from Fort Devirnette 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 ir has been this year , they would take from 1500 to 2000 negroes , without saying what may pass during the ni ^ ht ; but if the parties should get &ct > nt of it 1 suppose they will take tha St .
