FROM NILES WEEKLY REGISTER, Dec. lZ. CREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND. The Queen.. ..A certain Mr Waddington, was tried for a libel. It was a placard addressed to the soldier, stating the injuries of the queen, spying that they would defend her rights, and calling upon them to remember what had been done in Spain and Naples. He plead not guilty of a libel, and required that no tax-gatherer or person employed or connected with government, should serve on the jury. The prosecuting attorney made a strong case of it, and Mr. Waddingtoil plead bis own cause 44 the paper was not a libel, but a manly appeal to Englishmen." He was acquitted. It turns out that JlfahomcCs dance, about which so many disgusting things were insinuated, was nothing more or less, than that universally known as the fandango. The queen visited Woolwich. The workmen were verbally ordered not to leave the dockyards when she arrived ; hut when 'it was known she had come, they all, with one accord, rushed to receive ?vr with shouts. One of the London papers intimates tlr.it there is a sort of an understanding between the ministers and the leading catholics of Ireland, that emancipation shall be the reward of their passiveness respecting the queen ; yet she has received some warm addresses from Ireland. In the replies of the queen to sonic of the addresses presented to her, opinions yre o.netimes given and sentiments uttered, which would not disgrace the pen of the ablest and strongest w riters of our d..y : take the following extract from her iv ply to an address to th people of Coventry. 14 hp n ITnrl o-s -r ihn n.nr nrl....V. ----- " - -j - jvf nvi ui llJUUiLWt to man, be evidently designed it to J)C iree.

The holy alliance, tough made tor the purpose, can hardly keep it alive. Its extinction is decreed ; and some members of the j selfish faction mrxy have leisure to write jits epitaph." The Xalionnl Gazette, says With the mass of the inhabitants of Creat Britain, royalty must, ere now, have lost all its intrinsic influence. It is trampled under foot, not only ia newspaper articles and shop-window caricatures, but in parlia mentary speeches, ar.u in out ot doors harangues, by members Ot parliament At a great meeting m London, in wmch several of them took a part, a discourse was pronounced by Mr. Pe irson, from which the following paragraph is an ex tract " The clergy are ready to join with the lawyers, in declaring that 44 the king can do no wrong does he tbep hold his ex iftencc bv a tenure different from tlvit which pertains to the rest of humanity.

The details of the proceedings of the Cortes, record an act of justice highly honorable to the Spanish nation. In the MttinS, tllG 12th inst. tyas read tac re port of the commitlre of rewards on tin port oi tne commitire oi rewarus on me case of Pablo Lopez, commonly called 4thc lame man of Malaga,' who was condemned to death in IS 14, and had actually been imprisoned six years in a dungeon at Cadiz, whence he was released by Riego. One of the charges against him, for which the punishment was inflicted, was his having assisted at a serenade, given to some members of the fortes in 1314, and which Was supposed to have been projected by him ; another, the constant attendance he was in the habit of going to the debates of the cortcs, atone of which he was accused of creating a disturbance. Even these charges, frivolous as they were, were denied by Pablo Lopez ; and the officer attendant on the gallery of the cortcs declared him to have had no share in cr,ui- g the riot alluded to The accusation was not attempted to bcsupportcd by evidence of any kind. The committee of reward, w ith the object not only of indemnifying him for the "injuries ho had suffered, but ofj'escumg the nation from the reproach of having inflicted them, recommended that a grant should be made to Lopez, from the public fund., to the amount of 70,000 or 80, 000 reals (700 or 300 sterling) for the purpose of building a house for him in Malaga, his native place, and that an annuity for life should further be given to him of the value of 8000 reals. PORTUGAL. On the 16th Sept. the military at Lisbon declared in favor of the proceedings of the patriots at Oporto the old regency was deposed and a provisional government appointed, and the revolution of the kingdom thereby completed without bloodshed. The despotism of the house of Braganza is demolished, by acts done in the name and on behalf of the head of it, king John the VI! The English were treated with respect, but requested to abstain from appearing in the national uniform. The constitutional army consisted of many thousand men. Those who form the new provisional regency at Lisbou, are Freire, count of San Payo, count Resendc, count de Pexmafield, lieut. gen. Mathias, Joseph Dias Acedo, and Brancamp ; who immediately issued orders that no vessel should sail without their permission. A letter from Lisbon, after detailing some of the events ; says The new government having entered on the duties of their office, the peace quiet of the city have not for a moment beca disturb exl

without spilling a drop of blood. A guarti of soldiers was sent to the bouse of tne old authorities to protect them ; ana a.though they are deserted by the people, no insolence is offered to them. The whole population are tilled wiui enthusiasm lbe hrst measure ot in overnment will be to cbohsh the inquisi tion. Mot of the rejrimonts were command ed by British colonels, who informed the troops that as it was completely a Portu guese question, they would not interfere. Some ot the old regency wanieu inese officers to lead the roops here against those of the north, who first revolted, but thev very prudently declined. The state of the public feeling at Lis bon after the establishment of the new government, is thus shown in anpther letter A still more interesting spectacle presented itself on the Sunday following this surpasses all description language cannot portray it. Two elegant squares, lined on every side with well clad, fine looking soldiers several general ouccrs in the centre richlv apparelled aid de camps coursing along m every turcclion conveying orders at the neaa oi one o the squares, in a large balcony window ten or twelve of the most distinguished persons all magnificently dressed, reccivr ii i tl r.,! ing irom uieir cuumrvmeii uic gran-iui ctiusions of their gratitude, for the liberty and independence that day secured to them, every window crowded with ladies waving their handkerchiefs and occasionally throw ing down wreaths of llowers on the olliccis us they passed under j and add to all this, an immense multi- j O . . . tude collected around on every spot, pressing on the military so, as hardly to allow them space to move in, and from the countenance of every one of whom h and satisfaction were beaming forth, sullied even by the most trivial disagitc-la able accident : 44 Here was a scene which the most flint hearted stoic could not see unmoved. Even at the theatres for three nights pa the ladies have sung altogether the patrinflr. hvmn. :ind sfvprrd fent'pmpn iel-l .. , ted pieces of poetry composed on the occasion." ITALY. Extract of a Idler from Naples, dated Aug. 18. t see by the extracts in the French and English papers that they all look upon' the regeneration of this country, (Naples) as originating with, and being the work of the military. They are in a complete error. It is the work of the respectable landed proprietors in the country, who have been laboring for some years, in consequence of the oppression and misgovcrnmcnt they experienced. It is said that they had 200,000 men all ready to act in the same cause in the various provinces of the kingdom. Their tenants and laborers all joined them as did the respective militias. HAYTI. St. Marks revolted from King Henry early in October, and the troops of the garrison sent the head of their general to Boycr, in evidence of their sincerity. The revolt at St. Marks, was seconded by the military at the Cape (Henry or Francois), the capital of the 44 kingdom." The troons, headed bv gen. Richaid.covernor ot the city, having trampled under foot the ensigns of royalty, proceeded to invest the palace to seize the person of the king on which, seeing that all was losl, he blew his own brains out. This thing happened on the 8th of October. The people in many parts had declared "n favor of Boycr but some troops remained faithful to royalty, and under the command of gen. Romain, (duke of I liimucj nau reureu io me mountains oi Gros Morne, taking the 44 royal family" with them. But another account savs that this family fell into the hands cf the republicans and that they were all in irons. This is the most probable statement. " The private chest of Christophe is reported to have contained 10,000 dollars. The general commanding at Jeremie had sent in his adhesion to the republic on the condition that the people should be considered citizens. Gonaives submitted on the 20th Oct The late king is called " Christophe the cruel " It is reported that, after his death, no less than four thousand persons were released from the dungeons of Sans Souci. A Port an Prince account says " every where, where our army has passed, we have only perceived the habitations of old men and old women The population of this part of the island was, then condemned to end for want of propogation.' A running horse lately died in England, for which the owner wan ofiered'a few days before upwards of fifteen thousand dollars. Thirty -four persons were sentenced to death at the October session of the Old Bailey. Lord Holland in the house of lords, appears to have called the attention of their lordships to the political situation of the continent of Europe, which, he observes, had assumed a warlike and threatning aspect, dangerous to the liberties of those countries that had lately ua-in..! uicir national rignts. lie concluded by requesting ministers to state, if they had any official communication with the Austrian government on the subject, and what was its import. In reply, lord Liverpool said that it was no part ot the policy of the British government, at this time, and under present circumstances, to interfere with the internal government of other states, and that no engagements to that effect -ti. tcu.

The trial. We have very voluminous details of the proceedings. Thc trial had advanced to the 57th day. and sixteen witnesses were examined on the part of the queen. . Among these were col. St. Leger, the earl of Guilford, Ion! Glenbervie. lady Charlotte Lindsay, lord Llandalf, the hon. Keppel Craven. Sir Wi'liam Gell, William Charrington, formerly a midshipman, valet to Mir-WR. liam Gell; John Whitcomb valet to Mr. Craven: Dr Henry Holland. Chailc.1 Mills, Esq, and lieut. John Flynn, an officer in the BritMi navy and tie real commander of the polacre in which her majesty made her Oriental voyage. These pcr.cns had all teen ia ,rh:id situations about her majes.tr. or bad been inmates cf her house. Their testimony exculpates the queen, proves t!;e affability of her-nianneis to her domestic generally, the innocence of her conduct, the respectful behavior of Bergarni on all occasions, and his being a gentleman. Bergami was engaged tor tho queen's service by the hon. Keppel Craven, on the strong reconmci.dafion of the marquis Gizlieghti, who expressed himself to be much interested in the welfare of Bergarni and his family. Another witness, John Jacob -fcicard, who hail beeu twenty-one years i;i the service of the queen, deposed, that it was himself who had arranged the bed chamber of Bergarni to be near that uftbo q ieen, without consulting her, for protection; and the hon. Kepp I Craven deposed that he had warned tbe queen ai Kaple?, of sple being ahcut her in t! Lt city. Altogether, the testimony ot thekft witnesses completely exculpate the queen, and falsify "the testimony of the witnesses against her." The following is a brief abstract cX some of the'thinus deposed by some cf the witnesses. Earl Guiljr,rxl frequently paid his respects to the queen in different paits cf Italy, and dined with her. He never observed any improper familiarity between her and Bci-arr.; and ...... viib nit inm.mri 3 j hip iftl'cr Wei tt inoffensive, as were r.No thrse ofil countess of Oldi. Lord Glmhrrvi deposed to the same amount he frequently sawBergr.mi with the q-een, to whom he. always behaved with the respect of a servant 1 ad seen at the queen's tablo many highly respectable persons, omc of vrhom he named. Ldv Char'gtt Lindsnrj gave a long testimony, and was carefully cross-examined. She cnr'nctt the serv'ce of the q:;ecn in I '.'8 ami left it in 1814, when the queen went abroad, as her lady of hrr bedchamber; returned to ber service in 1615, and f.nallyleft it in 1817 Never saw any impropriety of conduct between tho queen and Bergami the latter always behaved in the ennmon wav cf a servant; never saw the parties walking arm-in-arm. She hid frequent business ir. the queen's bed room hid not witnessed any thing improper there : was not induced to leave the service by any impropriety of conduct on the pai t'of tho queen who appeared to peak of Bergarni as of her other servant. She entered the queen's bed chamber without knocking, but did not rcrollrct tha she had attended there unless sent for. Lord Uandaffhatl frequently vinitetl the queeu in company with his wife the s-.-ciefy at her heuse was highly respectable had seen Bergarni frequently, hi IHmvior ws always proper.
