LATE FOREIGN NEWS.

We are indebted to the polite attention of

the Hon. W. Hexdmcks, for an extra sheet

of the National Intelligencer, of Sunday, de tailing the following very important intclli . gence of WAR IN EUROPE.

The arrival, at New York, of the

Florida packet ship, in the remarkable

passage, at this season of the year, of 26

days from Liverpool, brings papers from

London to the evening of the 14 th of

Dec. inclusive which furnish the impor

tant intelligence that Portugal, having been invaded by Spain, had called upon the British Government, in conformity with its treaties of alliance, for aid; and that the latter forthwith, and without, delay, answered the call. It is a remarkable circumstance, as stated in the Times that, out of three hundred and more members assembled, not more than four voices objected to the address re-echoing the message of the King. It is not to be disguised that this step in Europe is one of the greatest moment to us, and every eye in this country will at once be turned towardsCuba, the only possession of Spain that can alone compensate Great Britain for the expenses and evils of war with that power a jewel alike rich and undefended. Mr. Canning takes, it will be observed, the distinction,

duct was echoed, will give great effect to their exertions. British House of Lords, dec. 11.

Message of His Majesty. Earl Bath

urst informed the House that he had to

deliver a Message from His Majesty

The Message having been handed to

the Lord Chancellor, the JNoble and

Learned Lord reads as follows; George R.

His Majesty acquaints the House of Lords, that his Majesty has received an earnest application from the Princess Regent of Portugal, claiming, in virtue

of the ancient obligations of alliance and

amity subsisting between his Majesty

and tne Crown ot Portugal, his Majesty'

aid against an hostile aggression from

Spain

"Hi? Majesty has exerted himself for

some time past, in conjunction with his

Majesty's ally, the King ot France, to

prevent such an aggression; and repeat

ed assurances have been given by the

Court at Madrid, of the determination

of his Catholic Majesty, neither to com

mit, nor to be allowed to be committed

from his Catholic Majesty's territory, any

aggrf ssion agmist Portugal.

"But his Majesty has learnt, with deep concern, that, notwithstanding these

assurances, hostile inroads in the terri

tory of Portugal have been concerted in Spain, and have been executed under the

eyes of Spanish authorities, by Portu

guese regiments, which had deserted into

and insists upon it that this is a war, not '

against Spain, but in defence of Portugal iSpain, and which the Spanish Govern

not of aggression, but of repression ; iment had repeatedly, and solemnly, en-

and if that ground be adhered to it would

exclude the idea of conquest. But the temptation is great the facility is great the pr'z invaluable. On the other hand, France and the United States, will

not, cannot, acquiesce in the Island of

Cuba's passing under British dominion; and an attempt therefore to wrest that Island from Spain, unless under the most positive and substantial pledges that its independence, under the guaranty of all the three nations, shall be the conse

quence, will lead most certainly to uni

versal war.

It 13 proper, however, to say, that, ac

cording to the London papers of different politic-', it was not anticipated that the

war would involve other Powers, or

be of long duration. The Time says. A presentiment appears to exist throughout London that ti e contest will he brought to a speedy ending, by the submission of Ferdinand and his Camarilla to whatever ienns may have been proposed to him by England, France, and Portugal, united. A; d the Courier of the 14th ult. thus speaks: Jt was to be expected that the Message of his Majesty to Parliament, and the Speech of Mr. Canning, would produce that excitement in the sensitive minds of tbe speculators in the funds, which would naturally lead to what is technically called a panic; but we, who are removed from the vortex of the Stock Exchange, may he allowed to take a more sober and temperate view of the question; and we sliall endeavor, there-

lore, to allay some oi that irrational lerment which now prevails. It then argues, from the tone of the King of France's mage, and other consideration, that France would acquiesce in the course of Great Britain, anl thus concludes: Having said thus much, it seems scarcely necessary to advert to one of the preTailing rumors of the day. But, as it is talk d of, and may be believed, by some,

that a loan is forthwith to be raised, we;

gagod to disarm and disperse.

:IIis Majesty leaves no effort tmex hausted to awake the Spanish Govern

ment to the dangerous consequences of

trns apparent connivance. "His Majosty makes this communication to the House of Lords, with the full and entire confidence, that the House of

Lords will afford to his Majesty their

cordial concurrence and support, in main

taining the faith of treaties, and in securing, against foreign hostility, the safety

and independence of the Kingdom of

Portugal the oldest ally of Great Britain. G. R." London, Dec. 12, 182G. The utmost

activity prevails in every department of

(government, connected with theimmediate embarkation of troops for Portugal. This morning, the following notice was posted at Lloyd's: 'Navy Office, Dec. 12, "The principal officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy do hereby give notice, that they will immediately

receive tenders at this Office, of ships,

tor the conveyance ot troops from Deptford and Portsmouth to Lisbon, where

th

Ihe

or at

rights of the Infant Don Miguel, Sec. was taken under the protection of the Spanish authorities. Lastly, the Minister said, that, as the conduct of the French Ambassador at Madrid with respect to Portugal, had been complained, of &, the accusation was serious the Chamber must hear the answer he gave to the Count de Villa Real, when the latter addressed him at the

Court of Madrid, showing him all that had been done by Spain. (He read, in fact, an insignificant answer.) 1 hope

this is the all absorbing topic of the mo

ment, we have thrown aside everything

else, foreign and domestic, to make room

for Mr. Canning's able, interesting and brilliant exposition of the circumstances which led to the Royal Message upon

this subject, and defence of the course pursued by Ministers. And in order at

once to place the whole matter before the reader we may have not only given

his first speech entire, hut made an abstract of the whole debate, including the

objections of Mr. Hume. Mr. Wood and Mr. Bright, and inserted, also at length, his masterly and triumphant re

ply. The opposition, however, was but

eeble. Even Mr. Brougham, the head

and front cf the opposition, made a most

animated speech in favor oi the minis

ters, turning the sharpest arrows of his

satire against Mr. Hume and when the

question was taken upon Mr. Canning's motion, it was adopted unanimously.

cannot but admire the promptness, and

he noble bearing of the British govern

ment on this occasion. In answer to the charge of delay which Mr. Hume had

made against the Ministers Mr. Canning,

after admitting the existence of unau

thorised rumors, of which ot course o fil

ial conizance could be taken, says:

"Until the 8th of December, we had not

received that accurate information on

which alone we could found a communi
