From the National Gazette. SPAIN. Advice* from Cadiz as late as the 15th of July have been received at Portsmouth, (N. H.) by a direct arrival from that city. The Cadiz newspapers furnish a splendid account of the cele bration there on the 1 2th, of the eveni of the king's oath to observe the con stitution, which was taken on the 9th, ai Madrid, on the opening of the cortcs. The inhabitants of Cadiz gave enthusi astic demonstrations ol joy; the veteran troops, the national militia, and the mass of the citizens, fraternized fully, by singing in concert, patriotic airs, by pro ets?i.>ns, banquets, kc. All the houses wire splendidly illuu inated at night, and the streets filled with an immense concoutse of people, who shouted equally in favor of t;?c king and consti tution. Riego, the partner of Quiroga in glory, was conducted in triumph to his quarters. No abatement of patriotic fervour would seem to have taken place, and tr.e original spirit of order i-> ob sc.\ j ?< even in the most animated ol th? popu ai celtbt ations. \V ? are indebted to the kindness of a fi ? for a file of the Madrid paper, 44 : .r G.iZ' tit o! the Government," as law as thi: 7ih of Juty, inclusive. The conierts have, on the whole, edified us exceedingly: they bespeak an astonish ing activity and unanimity in the rege neration of the kingdom. All the de crees of the old cortes, tending particu la riy to adjust the ideas of the nation, and its administrative affairs, to the spirit ami provisions of the constitution, h.ive been received by the provisional government. Among those decrees, we remark, with satisfaction, thai declaring Jovellaiios to have deserved well of his count/ y, and recommending his admi rable treatise on the public economy of Spain to favor and attention. The one which provides that public employments are to be given only to citizens known to be lovers of tlie constitution, is also worthy of note. Every new decree ex press! ? the motive or rationale of it. Sim cures are abohshe.f, ami-regulations m 'd? to secure to the *tate the real ser vice s i s salaried < ? rs of every de senp'' <. It is prescribed that all per son- ito<?:in^ offices in the provinces sI?j 1 remain a; their posts. and on no account leave their district witlu?tit per mission of the king, and that the absen tees shall return at once, on pain of be ing dismis-ed. One of the objects sought o be accomplished, is the dis persiot. of ne place-holders, who, at the s ine tin??-, play the part of place-hun tt rs at Madrid. Lancastrian schools, or, asthey are called, t kmcntai y schools of mutual instruction, are established for the army. The decree on this sub ject provides that a commission to carry it into effect shall forthwith be named, and the schools be formed on a uniform plan accordant with the reason of thr age, so as to spread among all classes * r)f Spaniards the. light and knowledge which their happiness and the public ^ood require.

The corte* were regularly matalled on the 6th July. After the raembcra had assembled, but before business was be gun, a cry of "Long h\e Quiroga," was heard from the gallery of the hall. A distinguished deputy immediately re mit ded the house of the necessity of perfect decorum, adding that the glory of Quiroga required do such irregular testimony. Quiroga himself, who be long to the cortes, rose and declared that his colleague was right, and that this was notf the sort of applause which he coveted-f-u universal order was the first wish iji hi* heart." The installation consisted in the re- j gular organization of this body, by the choice of a president, \ice president, and secretaries, and the administer ing the oaths prescribed to its offi cers ar.(! members. During this part of the proceedings all present, whe ther on( the floor or in the galleries, remained standing. The member cho sen president is don Josef de Espiga, archbishop elect of Seville. Quiroga is vice prtsident. A committee of 22 membeito was appointed to acquaint the king with what had been done, and a message was dispatched to ascertain when he would be willing to receive the committee; the answer being, ? imme diately,? ?they were ushered into his presence, and reported to the house, on their return, that his majesty had re ceived them with " characteristic gra ciousness,'* and had fixed upon the 9th to open the session and take the oaths to the constitution. An extraordinary gazette was issued, by order of the king, proclaiming the installation, " the first solemn act destined to lead the Spanish nation to that height of prosperity to which it is called by its natural desti- I nits, and which it may expect from the assemblage of its representatives." In the course of the business of the day, the case of an absent deputy, cho sen for South America, happening to be taken into considt ruUon, a member, Moreno Guei ra, took occasion " to rep robate the conduct of some generals who, in the war of South America, had , not observed the religious obligation of treaties." He insisted upon " the neces sity of proceeding loyally, according to perfect good faith, with the South Ame ricans; of pursuing a frank, liberal con duct tow ards them, worthy of the Spa nish nation." Nothing in Spain has undergone a more striking transformation than " the Gazette of the Government." The numbers in our hands offer broad and very sagacious views of the condition and politics of the principal states of Europe; examine freely and particularly the distempered systems of England and France; translate the legislative de bates of those countries; analyze and criticise works, both foreign and do mestic, in scicnce and literature, and, altogether, arc composed in a manner that would do credit to the daily press of any people. Translations of Treatises on Political Economy, of Locke's Es say on Government, See. are advertised in them. The number of th? 7th of Ju.y | enumerates and desciibcs the scientific I and literary societies ol the U. States. It represents the American as the only comtituni'y organized otiginally upon the principle* of reason and nature; as advancing straight forward to its per fection, exempt from the neccsM'y or the danger of violent revolutions. It as signs, with much acuteness and kind ness, reasons for our seaming backward ness in sri? n'ific pursuits, and indica'es certain of our establishments us 4t worthy of the dignity of man, ?<nd greatly hon orable to the human r?ce." VYc are told that tbeamicoble and liberal dispositions displayed in these remarks arc general in Spain. It is to be hoped that they will he, as far as events and realities may permit, reciprocated throughout the L". States. NAPLES. .Cuothrr Revolution ? The papers fur nish us with particular arcounts of a i evolution which has been effected in the K >vernment of Naples. L:kc the late miraculous revolution in Spain, this has been accomplished instantaneously, un expectedly, and wjth but little blood shed. This event appears to have been brought about by the Muratists, who have been placed in the ministry. It will be seen by the articles below, that the constitution adopted at Naples, is in ef fect the same as the constitution of the Spanish cortes. It is stated in a Paris aiticle, that after the insurrection broke out, two regiments of the line, who were sent to quell them, joined them ? The king, reposing confidence in a general, 1 who had promised him to restore order, entrusted him with ?ix regiments. When he arrived in the presence of the insurgents, he imitated Ney, and ex* ! ci tHiicd, " Lotitr live the Constitution." The constitution which they desired, was one fotnied in the time of Murat, out winch had never been carried into ? xccution. Immediately aftei the de ffci?>ns a ov- st?it< rt, the ku.g declared nat he would lorm a constitution in ? i^ht days IJi i ihr people would not ons^n' t < r < lay. Thrj sent a depu taUtfO t? ti't. kn.te, requiring the consti tution of tho euiM t* U signad in 34 hours. Kb majaaty immediately abdi cated in favour of his son, who issued the proclamation which will be found below. This, however, did not give satisfaction; they insisted that the constitution should be immediately adopted, signed and proclaimed by the king himself. Sub sequent advices, though not official, state that this demand was complied with. : Hi* majesty confirmed the promise made by his son, and pledged his faith to swear fidelity to the constitution be fore the provisional junta about to be formed, preparatory to his taking the oaths before a general parliament law fully assembled. The provisional junta is to consist of 20 members. No disposition to molest the royal family appeared. The old cockade of red has been supplanted by ono of three colours, which the soldiers had mounted. The Paris journals state, that a mong the new ministers is gen. Telan quire, a distinguished officer under Mu rat. All communication between Paris and Naples is cut off. In Paris the questions were, what part will Austria take? What will the holy alliance determine on? A new ambassador had arrived at Paris from Naples, and a grand cabinet council uas called immediately. The French nation is perfectly tran quil in every department. PRO CL. IM.i 770. V OF TIIE k'LYQ. " The general wish of the kingdom of the two Sicilics for a constitutional government having manifested itself, wc consent to this, of our full and entire will, and promise to publish the basis in the space of eight days. u Till the publication of the constitu tion, the existing laws shall continue to ' be in vigor. " Having thus satisfied the public wish, we order the troop* to return to their corps, and every individual to his ordinary occupation. (S gncd) u r ERD1SAND." Naples, July 6. On the same day, the king abdicated the throne, to his son Francis, who the next day issued the following proclama tion: - By virtue of the act dated yesterday, by which his majesty, our august father, has transmitted to us, with the unlimited clause of the Alter Kgo, the txercise of all rights, prerogatives, pre-eminence and faculties, in the tame manner as they can be exercised by his majesty. " In consequence of the decision of his majesty to give a constitution to the state. " Wishing to manifest our sentiments to all his subjects, and to second at the same time their unanimous wish. " Wc have resolved to decree, and do dccrce as follows: ? " Art. I. The constitution of the king dom of the two Sicilies shall be the same that was adopted for the inndom of Spain in 1 ft 1 2, and sanctioned by his catholic majesty in March 1820, saving the modifications which the national re presentation constitutionally convokrd, shall consider it suitable to propose, in order to adapt it to the particular cir cumstances of the states of his ma jesty. ? 2. Wc reserve to ourselves to adopt and make knnwri all the arrangements which may he necessary to facilitate and accelerate the execution of the present det t ec. " 3. All our ministers and secretaries of state arc rhari;cd with the execution of the present dccrcc. (Signed) " Francis, Lt. Gen." Naple*, 7th Julv, IK20. It appears fsom the intelligence con fined in the foreign journals, thai ano ther revolution may he shoitlv looked for fioin Italy, where it seems a storm was gathering. Secret so' ietirs were at work, to bring ahout a new order of affair*. This state of things had alarmed the Austrian cabinet, and they had in structed the Austrian resident at I.esto Callenda, to allow no person without a p**sport to cross the Maggiore, even for an hour. In one of the secret socie ties there arc said to be 200 officers, who formerly served under lionaparte. It would be carrying speculation too far to say, which nation it next doomed to be revolutionized, although it would not surprize us il France should follow Italy, and the rest of Europe should follow France. A singular paragraph, which has ap peared in several of the German papers, excites lively attention from having been authorised by the respective Censures, and at yet remaining uncontradicted; it is an act of semi-oflf* iality. The sense of it conveys-?" That it is the opinion of the emperor of Rassia, that the Holy Alliance has no power to interfere in the troubles or revolutions of any state, wh'-rrin the rrvolutionists do not ATTACK THI PitlKCU-LKS OF LEGITI - MACV." The chevalier Vassoli, accompanied by two respectable witnesses in favour of the queen, arrived at Dover on the 15th July. They are to be followed by several noblemen, and many distin guished officers, civil and military, who are to j?ive testimony in the behalf of her majesty. .V.

Mr. Plunkett said, he had several Roman catholic petitions, but he should neither present them, nor bring forward any motion on the subject this session, owing to the embarrassing and momen tous question which now agitated par liament and the public. T he royal proclamation has at length been issued, postponing the coronation until the royal will and pleasure be fur ther signified thereon; and dismissing all persons, summoned for the first of Au gust, from attendance on that day. Bergami, it is said, had left Paris for London. His passports, as well as those of the other I^lians, late in the suite of the queen, were filled up lor Rome. William Wilson and William M'ln tyre, have been convicted of the crime of high treason, at Glasgow, and sen tenced to be hanged and beheaded. Se veral others are on trial for the same of i fence. HOUSE OF COMMONS. July 15. The Queen's Plate. ? I)r. Lushington regretted exceedingly il?at he did not sec the noble secretary for foreign af fairs in his place, as he had a question to put to him, of which he believed her majesty's solicitor general had given the noble lord notice. In 1808 his late ma jesty ordered a service of plate, which he presented to her then royal highness the princcss of Wales; ar.d her royal highness continued to use it from that time until 1814, when she went abroad; and at that period she deposited it, as her private property, with Mr. Mash, of the lord chamberlain's office On her reccnt return, she applied tor it, when J she was informed by the lord chamber j lain she could not have it, as it was the property of the crown, and he had official documents to shew it. Little did her majesty expect that these nice points of j law wculd be resorted to, to deprive her, not only of what was necessary to her dignity, but to her comfort. In addition to all the insults she had suffered, her majesty had to complain of this last, the most despicable of all. He knew this j must have been th< act of ministers, and ' he trusted they would not deny it; yet 1 he believed the whole of this transaction I could not be known to his majesty's I confidential advisers. If they were cog nizant of it. this last case and pitiful at tempt to annoy her majesty, shewed a lamentable, difference between their pro fession and practice. He concluded by moving an humble address to his ma ? jesty for copies ol all communications which had passed with the lord cham berlain's office relative to the service of plate which was given to her majesty by the late king. Mr. Va>>sittart thought he had reason to complain of the hon. gentleman in thus taking the house by surprise. It was true that there was such a scrvice of plate presented to the princcss of Wales by the late king, for her use, ' when her majesty was at Kensington . palace, but that plate was the property of the crown. Had the hon. gentleman condescended to communicate to him his intention of bringing on this subject, j he might have hern prepared to an I swer him. The house also had a right to expect some notice; and therefore, he trusted the hon. gentleman would with draw his motion now, and mention it again on Monday. Dr. Lushington had no wish to take the house by surprise, but at this late pei iod of the session no time was to be lost. He would, however, with the lea\c of the nouse, withdraw his motion, and let it he considered as a notice for Mon- i day. The motion was accordingly with- i drawn. I In the house of commons. July 14, a , petition was presented from Olivia Scr- I res. S e stated herself to be the legili- I mate daughter of the late duke of Cum berland; thai she possessed a document to prove the solemnization of a mar riage between her mother (who was Ju lia Wilmot, the daughter of the late Dr. 1 Wilmot) and the htc duke of Cumber land, th" brother of (icoige III. in the j year 1767. The duke had subsequently ! married another lady, on account ot | which his marriage with the petitioner's mother was concealed. From this cause, the petitioner, who was born in 1772, had been deprived of property which should have descended to her. She staled that she possessed a document with the sign manuel of his late ma jesty, acknowledging the validity of the marriage of her mother. The petition was laid on the table. Letters from Venice of June 18, an nounce that "the pacha of Scutari" set off June 3, from Scutari, at the head of 20,000 men, VK)0 of whom were ca valry, against All Pacha, towards Joa nida. A letter from Home of June 17, tajrs the troops of the grand seignor had en tered Salona, the ancient Ampaissa, which is in the government of All Pacha; and that Alt on receiving the news, marchcd with great rapidity, entered the city by surprise, put the inhabitants to the sword, and gave. t!>c up to be ncled by hit troops.

The former demands that " stipulations which date from the time of the Venetian republic," which pro hibit the Turkish Beets from navigating tbe Adriatic and Ionian teas, shall be maintained. Sir T.

Muley Soliman, now upwards of eighty years of age, is no longer capable of managing the fiery temper of the Moors and A rain, and he has been compelled to fly from province to province by bands of robbers and rebels which hold the passes of tbe mountains, an^J have produced the greatest disorder. The force of the Emperor of Morocco was once very formidable, and in tbe prime of life he governed with great skill and prudence ? but he ha* lived Too long, and his sons and relations it is supposed have instigated this revolt. Morocco has no naval force of consequence ? a few old gun boats, and a frigate or two are falling to pieces at Larachc, and the empire has no seamen. It will be diffi. cult to restore order among these Moors, if the disaffection has spread to any extern. National Advocate. MEXICO. The Havanna Koticioso of the 1 9tH ult. contains the proclamation of the viceroy of Mexico, dated the 31st of May, promulgating the constitution, and informing tbe public that on tha' day, himself and all the authorities in that capital would take tbe oath to the same: and enjoining the other authorities in the different parts of that kingdom to perform that solemn act, and to put the constitution into immediate operation.

In my last letter, I pave you the hope of seeing 'he contention be tween tho Frmch and American go vernments amicably settled; I said so without reflecting thaf this law, hastih imposed, was a kind of pro. vocation, and the dignity of your go vernment and national honor asked for a quirk retaliation. The rounsel of the Mate had rrsol vrd to ini|H?se the duty of retaliation to 100 fr.inrs per ton on American vessels which will rearh our ports after the I Oth inst. The royal decree was to receive the signature, and we hoped every day the appearance of it; hut yesterday it was announced that the American ambassador had asked and obtained of the goodness of his majesty that the duty of retaliation would not take place before the 15th July; and reciprocally he promised in the name of the American govern ment, that the duties on the tonnago which could be imposed on the French vessels set out from France without knowing the law would be reim bursed.
