It is stated that certain voluntary gifts of money in the western states and in Louisians, to the treasury, for which the secretary asks the aid of 600,000 dollars; that difficulty will, in the opinion of your committee, be surmounted by the amount of appropriations which will remain unclaimed at the expiration of the present year. The unclaimed demands of appropriations at the expiration of each year have, on an average of years, amounted to about three millions of dollars; but, as the appropriations to the queen for the purpose of building a palace for the present year will be of a kind that will be called for to a have been returned, with an intimation that she will greater proportionate amount than those of former years, it would not remain in the country. be unsafe to calculate on a larger amount than that which would afford the time necessary to draw the funds from the states men. tioned; but, to that amount, say 600,000 dollars, and to meet un foreseen demands on the treasury, the committee are of opinion, that the appropriations unexpended at the end of the present year will be amply adequate, and, therefore, they do not recommend any provision therefor. The house will duly appreciate the difficulties under which the committee have acted, and will pardon unintentional errors, if any. The committee will only add, that they have used every exertion in their power to arrive at a correct view of the impor tant subjects submitted to their consideration. All which they respectfully submit.] Foreign Articles. ENGLAND, &c. The people are deserting the churches in great numbers, because the queen is not prayed for. Addresses to the king, praying for a change of his ministers, are getting up in many parts of Eng land. One of them, as a specimen, shall be pres served. They are in very plain language. a While some of the papers speculate much about new ministry, others totally deny that any change is contemplated. The following is the conclusion of a paper which is said to have been widely circulated in England by the friends of the queen: "The HEARTH, the ALTAR and the THRONE! expect from the ministers, and these are what the The following analysis has been made of the division in the house of lords upon the third reading of the bill of pains and penalties.

She was escorted by about 4000 men on horseback, and an immense quantity of the people on foot and in carriages; many of the trades and associations bearing banners, &c. We should suppose from the account given that not less than half a million of persons were lookers-on or actors on this occasion! The streets were often completely blocked up with liv. ing masses.

A free exercise of the rights, privileges and immunities to which her majesty is entitled by custom, courtesy and the laws of the land. The prorogation of parliament, and the manner of it, has excited great indignation in England. It has disgraced the nation, that's certain. A new trial has been refused to sir Francis Bur dett; but major Cartwright, Wooler, and others had obtained a rule to show cause why a new bail should not be granted in their case.

This is hardly property of the subjects of another government, possible. capture the vessels belonging to the state by which they had been lately protected; and one great ob. ject of the insolvent's examination was to show, that he was a principal in those proceedings, and that he was now possessed, or had a claim on part of the capital by which they had been carried on. The insolvent admitted that he had been tried and found guilty in America for being concerned in those transactions, but insisted that he only was employed as an agent, and that 10,000 dollars he had advanced to commodore Taylor for the purchase of vessels, was given as a loan merely. The insolvent also stated, that about two years and a half ago, he purchased an estate of about three thousand two hundred acres of land, which being then solvent and in prosperous circumstances, he settled on his wife, which settlement it was stated, stands good by the laws of America, although made without trustees. It also appeared by the examination, that the insolvent had other lands in the Illinois territory, which he had disposed of about the time of his stopping payment; but he stated that he had applied the whole proseeds to the payment of his debts, and there being no evidence of any concealment of property, the court ordered that he should return the property he had settled on his wife in the Illinois territory, in his schedule, to be recovered for the benefit of his creditors (if possible;) and that he should be discharged. FRANCE. Anattempt has been made to blow up duke Dacres, after he had retired to bed. Powder was placed under his mattrass and fired with a train! It exploded, and he was considerably hurt, but not dangerously. It is given out as the act of his valet, whose object was plunder: and who, it is said, on the explosion taking place, cried out that he was lost, and jumped out of a window into the street, forty feet high, by which he was killed. The tale does not tell well. Though there are some suspicions of the sincerity of the king, he has lately addressed the cortes like the first magistrate of a free people, except the parts wherein, from the nature of the government, he speaks of the throne, &c. The address of the cortes, expressive of their wish for his presence in the capital, is very energetic. The cortes have closed their session; but a part of the members are to remain in the capital to act on an emergency. Much is said of a "plot of Morales," which is supposed to have extensive ramifications-but we do not exactly understand the object. It only certainly appears that there are some disquietudes in Spain, and that some violent measures are apprehended. The appointment of general Carvojal, as governor of Madrid and Castile, by the king, displeased the people, and he was removed. The new tariff is published-it prohibits the im. port of bread stuffs and meats, generally-articles of wool, silk, hemp, hats, paper, &c. and all the heavy manufactures of iron. The cortes have approved the foreign loan of ten millions of dollars, with Baring & Co. of London. The terms are not published, but they are said to be "grinding." Tobacco is to be admitted into Spain on the payment of a duty of two reals vellon (10 cents) per b. Salt, another of the king's perquisites, is to be free after the 1st of March. The cortes seem determined to do away monopolies. The king of Spain has sanctioned the decrees relative to the liberty of the press. Opinion of tythes. The following is an extract from the report of the proceedings of the Spanish cortes, on the 16th October: "Morena Guerra, as a member of the united com mittees for the extinction of tythes, said: Among the numberless representations which had been submitted to the committee, as well against as in favor of tythes, there was not one in which the The celebrated Bergami has arrived at Paris-writer had the boldness to affirm, that tythes were and the papers of that city assert that the queen of England has purchased an estate in France. We have heard of French vessels evading the late extra tonnage duty by stopping in the ports of Florida, and from thence obtaining their cargoes of cotton, &c. from the United States in American craft: a similar plan seems to be pursued by some of our vessels in regard to the French duty: they put in at Nice or Villa Franca, send their cargoes to of divine right. It had been fully shewn to the cortes, by one of his colle: ues, Seignor Gisbert, that the authority of the church was solely spiritual, and as to exterior discipline, depended absolutely upon the civil power-a doctrine which was the true and now the prevalent one throughout Europe. Among the various plans for the support of the clergy, examined in the committee, the simplest and best was, that of the choice in each parish, of twelve PHILLIPPINE ISLANDS. A vessel has been boarded by a boat from the elderly and respectable men, who, in concert with the curate, should assess, by equitable principles, post on the island of Ascension. It is stated that a upon the parishioners, what was required for all spring has been discovered there, but that every ecclesiastical purposes. Thus the decency of di-effort to raise any sort of plants had failed. vine worship would be preserved-the people would have their spiritual aliment, and only so many pastors as they required and could pay-the clergy would enjoy their subsistence and their in dependence, without recourse or subservience to the treasury. In fine, whatever scheme should be preferred, the committee would report with the least possible delay, since tythes being already abolished in point of fact, it was time they should be so in point of right." Budget of Spain. The budget for the present year, as agreed to in the cortes, is as follows: Expenditures 702,802,304 reals vel. Revenue 550,374,271 Deficit, 152,408,033 The deficiency is supplied by a loan of 200 lions of reals. PORTUGAL. A gentleman who resided at Manilla for many years, has lately given some account of these islands, and especially of the chief of the group, Luconia. He estimates the native Spaniards, exclusive of the military, at 2,000, and the military officers and men (natives of Spain), at 2,500. The whole military force is about 7,500-5,000 being natives of the islands or of South America. In Luconia, the casts bearing a mixture of Spanish blood, amount to 200,000; the Singlays, or Chinese descendants, are upwards of 20,000; and Indians 340,000- and a total population of 600,000. The city of Manilla contains only 8,000 souls, but its suburbs has a population of 90,000. In the interior of this island there is to be found a woolly mil-headed pigmy race of black people, thought by some to be descended from the original stock, who inhabit the mountains, and are very expert in the Though there are some factions and discontents use of the bow.

On the 19th of September, a London paper informs us, that Napoleon rode out nine miles from his residence!
