It is a remarkable circumtance, as stated in the l imes, that out ol turee hundred and move members as cmhled, 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 Eutopo is of the greatest moment to Us, and every rye in this country will at once be turned towards Cuba, the only possession of Spain lint can alone comp. ns ite G.eat Untiin for the expenses and evi.s of a war with that power a jewel alike rich and uo iefended. Mr Can ting takes, it will be observed, the dis motion, and msis'supon it, that this is a war not against Spam, but in defence of P irtugaS not of aggression, but of re

Mis Majesty acquaints the House of Lords, tint his Majesty has i eccii ed an earnest application fom the Piicess Regent of Portugal, claiming, in virtue ol the ancient obligations of alliance and amity subsisting between his Majesty and the Crown of Portugal, his Majesty's aid a gainst an hostile aggicssion from Spain. His Majesty ha exerted himself for

s me time past, in conjunction u ilh his Majesty's ally, the King ol Fiance, to prevent such an aggression; and repeated assurances have been given hy the Court of Madtid, of the determination ot his Catholic Majesty, neither to commit, nor to allow to be committed, from his Catholic Majesty's territory, any aggression against Portugal. Hut hi Majesty has learnt, with deep concern, that, notwithstanding these as sutancrs. hostile inroads into the territory of Portugal have been concerted in Spun, and have executed under the eyes ol Spanish authorities, bv Portuguese re

giments, which had deserted into Spain, and which the Spanish government had ropentedly, and solemnly, engaged to disat m an I to disperse. His Majcs'y leaves no cfTort uncxaust cd to awaken the Spanish G nemmcnt to .the d macrons cotiacqucnccs of this apparent connivance.

Mexican 13 Havana Squadrons. We have been favored with the following extracts of letters from an otTicer on board the U. S. Frigate Constellation. The Squadrons had not met, but from the description given of Com. La Horde's men, when they do meet, we think it must be upon very unequal terms: Nat. Jour, Havana, Due. 25, 1826. " Last evening the American ship Canton, Captain Watson, arrived in this harbor from Cadiz, and reported ie had fallen in with, and was boarded off Cape Antonio, by Commodore Porter's bquadron, consisting ot one Frigate, one Sloop ot War, two Hrigs, and one Schooner. Captain Watson went over the Commodore's ship, and was requested by him to report, on his arrival, that ht- was to be found off Cape Antonio, and to say he

would be happy to see or meet any of the Spanish Squadron that might be ready. Porter's old friend, Com. La Horde, lost not a moment in accepting the invitation, by commencing to nut in a st.itf nf ore.

With these vessels he got under weigh, and passed us this moment It is doubtful if he has not gone to win ward first, to fall in with the Casilia friga'e, and 2 btigsthat went out some ' days agf, to cruise for some Patriot privateers otT Matanzas. I think it not unlikely, as La Horde is a brave, skilful, and prudent officer ; but he can have no support, as his officer an! crew ate the most ignorant, motley set o r.: e 'tin es ever put on board hip He has to contend if report says true, ana I hac no doubt j of it) with a frigate commanded v a gal lant cxpcticnced ofli -iv of the Vankce school, having good officers, and a crew of English and Austrian scam n.
