London, Nov. 19. It will be seen from another part of our paper, that her majesty commanded her vice chamberlain to write to lord Liverpool, to demand a palace, and an establishment in every respect suitable to her rank, with a view to her future residence in this country. To this lord Liverpool replied, that he had received no orders from his majesty upon that subject. If we did not know from the past what we cught to expect from ths future, there would be no mystery in the case. The road is broad, direct, and as clearly defined as that from London to Dover. But there are strong reasons for belief that the bill wa9 not abandoned because the majority was small. The

Stuarts were degraded, dethroned? and expelled by a majority of ONE,the question relative to lord Melville wa decided by one; and if it had no been for one solid reason to the contrary, this very question would, we have every reason to believe, have been followed up, even if the majority had been reduced to one. This solid reason resolves itself into the apprehension, that in the house of commons the subornation of perjury might have been made manifest. How the ministers will be able to bear up against the storm which js gathering against them, we are entirely at a loss to conceive! Their friends reproach themjwith imbecility ; and their enemies deride them with every epithet of contempt; a feeling we apprehend, which may be exemplified by addresses from all parts of the country. What, then, are the ministers to do? That is the question now with all orders of men -What they will do it is impossible to say; but what the queen's friends expect them to do is, we believe, summed up in a paper, which has been put in, to our hands, and which we understand, is circulating by them with great rapidity through many of the principal towns and cities. " The Hearth, the Altar, and the Throne ! ii These must we respect and thesx must ire defend, as long as the right 111 hand knows its cunning. " Indemnity for the past, and Security for the future : These are what the people of Eugland expect from the ministers, and these are what the people of England have resolved to obtain. " 1. The restoration of her majesty's name to the liturgy of the church, 44 11. A royal house: Hampton Court, Kew; Buckingham House; or Kensington Palace. "111. A free exercise of the rights, privileges, and immunities, to which her majesty, is entitled by custom, courtesy, and the laws of the land. "These obtained, then let there be peace and good will throughout the country ; lot there bt a grand national amnesty jubilee, and let the rich and poor alike partake in the general joy " These propositions we givp as we receive them, but whether they will be adopted in the whole, or in part, or whether ministers have any projet of their own to conciliate the queen and the people, we leave to future experience. i iiii r7r b Washingtom Jan 9. Cessation of arms in the neighboring parts of South America by an Armistice for six months, between Bolivar and Morillo. We do not know, that, since the Treaty wt Peace between the United States and Great Britain, wc hare had as much satisfaction in announcing any News from abroad, as that contained in the following article. Let us hope that it is the prelude to a permanent pacification. Enough of blood has nV.ved ; enough cf havoc has been made; the hu

manities of life have been already too far violated, in this conflict. Humanity demanded a cessation of it, and Providence has ordained it. AVe trust that the negociations, which will follow this suspension of hostilities, will give liberation and repose to the people of Venezuela and their confederates. FROM LAGLTRA IMPORTANT! 'eu York, J.irr 5. Capt. Craycrcft, of the schooner Tom, who left Lagujra Dec. 21st, informs, that on the loth, there was general rejoicing at that placeman?! Caraccas, on account of an armistice having been concluded for siv months, between Generals Bolliver & Morillo. Two officers from Bollivar's army passed through Caraccas and Laguira on the lith, on their way to Margarita Island, and Barcelona, to give information of the armistice. Gen. Morillo had resigned the command of the Spanish army, and was succeeded by Gen Lr. To'ras. The Vmer had arrived at Porto Cavello, and was fitting out the schooner Morillo to carry him home to Spain; and a great number of officers had proceeded to that place to take leave of him. On the COtli Dec. a Spanish squadron ot 3 frigates, 1 brig of 22 guns, 1 ketch of 16 - uns, 3 large transports, and 1 schooner, arrived at Laguira from Cadiz, with 15,000 stands of arms, and clothm:, and ptuvisions for the army Business was entirely suspended at Laguira. WASHINGTON Jan. 16. "We had supposed that the Missouri subject would have been aain taken up yesterday, and finally disposed of in some shape or other. Rut, th u the debate on the subject ot the Army might not be unseasonably interrupted, Mr. Eustis contented himseif with cailing tip his m-ti n, and having it refertcd to a committee of the whole on the State of the l Tnion, which disposition of it places it in his power to nute at any time for the consideration of it. The same course was tiien taken with the resolution from the Senate, on the same subject, which contains an exception, the nature of which all attentive readers will recollect, of any part of the constitution, if there be any part of the constitution, of Missouri, which is contrary to the constitution of the United States. We have for some tima thought, that the present session of Congress will be productive of few measures of a leading character. There may be some reduction of the Army ; some mollification of the expenditure for the increases of the Navy ? the usual appropriation acts, and an act for a loan, of a greater or less awount, must pass ; but there will be few other laws passed of a general nature. The passage of some ot the bills depending, and those, in oar view, the most deir.ib!e, is rendered hopeless by the agitation of this unfortunate question respecting Missouri. With respect to others, the sentiment of Congress is so nearly equally divided, tUat an indisposition to legislate at all, though that

feeling should be limited to very few, mav incline the scle against the measures proposed. That there is such an indisposition, arising from the apprehension of over much legislation, has been, we think, apparen during the session ; and the procrastination or a decision on the Missouri subject has had no tendancy to lessen it. Lexington. Jan. 15 UNPLEASANT NEWS"We are informed that a gentleman from Aikensas, passed through this town, a fpw days ao, with despatches for government from Governor Miller, on th subject of the Indians in that tenitorv, woo have receutlv manifested hostile feelings- 'e cannot state precisely the cause of their dissatisfaction, or the extent of the alarm which their unfriendly disposition may have produced among the inhabitants ; but we understand that Governor Miller deems additional military aid indispensibly necessary. Reporter. A Mrs Gammett, of Sharon, has ap plied for a pension, under the revolutionary pension law laving served toree years in thj army, under the nam of Robert ShurtlifTe, and received three wounds. Since she left the army she has been married and is the mother of 7 children. She is nnv in her G2d year, J"orf dk', Jan. 22.

Ohio A disease of singular chracter prevails on the heads of rivers in Ohio.
