Fortunately for cur country, every man stand-. ioor his own merit. You state tint the 4V:uM:iia "delegation in congress," had presented a memorial in nguc favor. I would infer from this that a!!, or the greater part of the Virginia delegation, had interposed in your behalf. This, sir, is not the fact. A few of "them, lam informed, did take .an interest in your cae but, being informed of the charges existing against you, of which they were before un apprise 1, ihrv did not oies farther for y )jr claims. From the knovk'.'g I have of the high minded g.vn.emcn that compose the V;gmia delegation, it they "would take the trouble to ex 'amine your case, I should, tor rny part be endrcly ratished to place the .honor of the service Upon their decision. you oiler as your exewe for "p-unitung tour months to intcrvene jet we; n mr June correspondence, (with nhich, from your U tter, you appeared to be satisfied) and your letter ot the 2 j-1 Oct. your indisposition.

The subjoined articles in relation to this interesting subject, cxtractedfrom foreign jpers,are entitled to serious consideration: We copy the following from BelPs Weekly Messenger, of March 19. 44 An article from Italy contains a point of intelligence of some importance, inismuch as it appears to confirm a very probable opinion, that the powers of Europe will give a timely attention and interposition hi the affairs ot Spain. It is prudent they should do so, provided only that such interference be made with a due respect to the rights cf the people as well as to the interests of kings. The arttclcto which wc allude, states ttuc his Grace the duke cf Wd-

lingtcn will shortly be charged with a most important poetical negociation; it is stated that he is to confer with the ambassa. dors of the great powers at Paris, respecting the affairs of Spain, and that he will then go to Madrid to lay the result before the Spanish government. The ambassadors, it is asserted, would receive speciil instructions from their courts, ami that this important business would be treated with entire unanimity by all parties. "We must only esprefs onr hopes, that, if Ferdinand be retained upon the Spanish throne, the people will have some better better security for his adhcrance Co any royal charter t,c may give than his bare word. 51 The St. lames Chronic!., a paper of respectable authority, gives to the Spanish news, however important it may be, a more intense interest, by the publication cf the following inteiiiencc: "Wc do pot spc?!; from light authority v.hcu we state the fact that the neighboring kingdom of Portuca! is forward in its preparations to follow theex ample of Spain, ?nu that the consoiiditien of the wh ;e peninsula, into one powerful free monarchy is at hand Th's is, we believe, the first public in timation of the probability of an event which must exercise an

important inflaer.ee upon the fate of Europe. LATES F r ROM HUROl-E. KtW'YOK, MAY l6. The fast sailing ship Iltctor, capt. Giilender, arrived last evening, in ;2 days trom Liverpool. Capt G. lus fivrrcd the editors of the Mercantile Aelveitiser with Liverporji pipers to the eth, 2nd London to the 1 ot h of April, inclusive; aJ0, Llovtl'd Lists to the Fth. Some further distm b liice'had taken place at Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock, 5cc. At no time, since the beginning of Radicalism:, had there been such a general apprchtnsiov from that quarter. Seiious alarms existed at Mancihc-iter, and troops were ordered there to prevent zn expected riot. At Glasgow, Paisley, and all the neighboring country for 12 miles round, placards were placed on the walls, addressed to the people of Kng'and, Ireland, and Scotland, caliir upon them to come forward ir ;;tiediatcly, and elfect by force a revolution iu the government, & enjoining the manufacturers to abstain from work from the 1st of April. All the weavers and other workmen in Glasgow, Paisley, and the neighboring country, immediately struck work, and the streets were covered wit it crowds of the idle and discontented. The magistrates cf Glisgow had offered a reward of 500. and the government a further reward of 500. for the authors or printers of these intlunmatory papers. The troops were iu motion, and some skirmishing hid taken place. Several had been killed, and others, wounded. At the last accounts, the weavers in Glasgow and Paisley had generally returned to their looms, as the want of leaders deorived them of all confidence, and the power of military pointed out to them the hopelessness of their cause. On the 8th, a crowd assembled at Greenock, to witness the arrival of 5 prisoners who were brought in from Paisley, at 5 in the afternoon, by the Port Glasgow Volunteers. When the volunteers were returning, they begin to insult & pelt them with ttonea a.ui mud.

The volunteers fired 2 sv which only exasperated t the more.

"Since I have been in Spain, I have been in the prison of the Inquisition at Barcelona; a mere recital of a thousandth part of the horrors of which would make any person's blood cuidfe in their veins. When the rv. oiution took plice at Barcelona, the mob rushed upon the holy ollice, broke open all the prisons, and gave liberty to the captives. The inquisitors fled, or they would have been sacri. ficed by the populace. The building is partly torn down, 2nd will soon be entirely demolished. It was by special per mission of the new Governor that I was permitted access to the building, and to visit the prison before its demolition. The Catholics begin to see by what vile and base arte they have been imposed upon. mob entered the holy office after having released the prisoners; found all the records and proceedings of the same fcoa years past, and on the impulse of the moment threw every thing into the street.
