Mr. Brougham had returned to London with health considerably improved. The Courier of the 2d of Octo ber states that the Queen's witnesses were rigged in new clothes at Bou - logne. They hre pressed in blue coats, with metal buttons,; and cor responding pan'aloons and waist ' - coats, made'UM^e Lnglish style. From tht^S^jfrpf August to the &d of September^ three persons died of yellow fever at Cadiz, and five remained ill. The House of Lords was to meet op the 3d of October, when the -opening speech of Mr. Brougham we* expected. Some anxiety was felt by the Queen's friends in conse quence of Marshal Pino not having arrived. It was thought, however, that no delay would lake place on *b*. account. wenty one Italian witnesses had d i|i England, to bear testimo *?vor of the Queen. tian Thorpe has been elect flavor of London.

The following is an extract from one of them : " MALTA, AUG. <N At present all is anarchy and confusion in 8icil%> ; moveable pro perty U considered to Ire very unsafe by)B ritish raerchwits, who write in| great alarm, and applications Jiave been made to the government of this island for vessel* of war to anchor off Palermo ami Messina, to afford protection in case of need.

SPAIN. Madrid papers to the 18th ultimo, arrived yesterday evening. The following are extracts : ,i MADRID, SEPT. 18. We hare before us a great num ber of documents relative to occur rences in the provinces which ap pear to coincide with those which took place last week at Madrid. Among others a proclamation issued !? by Gep. Q'Donoju, dated the 8th, in which he speaks of the even's at Madrid, and of the law proposed to the Cortes to regulate the Patriotic, Societies. He Tsays lie published this information that the evil dispos ed may not give partial and exagge rated accounts of what has taken place. Wp learn by other channels i that Gen. ODonojn has thought it ; necessary to move from their com- < rnand several officers, and we oh- ' '-serve with regret some who had previously acquired a high charac ter. The accounts from Guiapuscoa, Navarre, Murcia, Estremadura, and Grenada,' are satisfactory; but in some jAaces there lias lieen symp toms of alarm and mistrust, and, from the manner in which they are spoken of, they seem .to hear some analogy to the events at Madrid,-^- ; The information which is seut to (he provinces, w ith the utmost rapidity and celerity with which (he Captains general have communicated it* has stifled every germ of discord, and tt'airquilized 4he good, wlio are no friends to convulsions and disturb ances. Those who have a sincere and disinterested iove for the Con stitution desire nothing more than that it may be consolidated ; and tliey know that so important an ob ject cannot be attain^ without first repressing tlie disaflrt ted, whatever he the disguise which tliey assume. -CAMDEN / , j, ? 4?1 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, im6.

It is highly gratifying to see some further attention paid by the Board of Public Works, to tire improve ment of the navigation of t lie Pee Dee. Capt. Sobieski, (he State Engineer, lias recently paid us a vi sit, for the purpose of examining the obst ructions in the river, and for making contracts for their removal ; or for constructing works to obviate them, (particularly the shoal at Thompson's creek.) His success) in engaging 'persons to undertake the] work, is not publicly known here.j The -present* and probable? state of.' the river during the Fall and Win-! ter, it is presumed, will prevent ac tual operations ; but it is confidently hoped that arrangements will lie made, to commence as early in Spring as the water will permit. [Pee Dee Gazette, 25th ult. A writer In the Kentucky Repor ter proposes to establish a communi cation between the East Indies and the mouth of the river Columbia. ? He proposes to apply to the General Government, not for the loan of mor ney, ft* that is not wanted, but to incorporate, an American fur compa ijy, " with leave to form a port of entry at the mouth of the Columbia,1 and to establish a chain of posts,* and trading stations, from thence to tlie upper navigable waters of die Missouri*, lie asserts, that within two years they would have this plant in operation, and would begii^ a re-' volution in commerce, that would! eheck the drain of gold and silver iu the United States." , ? Petersburg InL rHE STAT* ?vF SOUTH-CAROIJXA. Presentments of the Grand Jury of Charleston District for October Term , 1820, Judge Richardson presiding. We present m a grievance, (he number qf houses -of ill fame, or brothels, throughout the city, which are an annoyance generally to the good citizens in their neighborhoods, and the want of power to suppress them. We recommend that our le gislature pass a law either for their suppression or better government* ; We present as great grievance, the number of iVee mulattoes and negroes now in the state, and the; increasing of such |>ersons from o ther states* being induced thereto from the fecHity of settling among us ; anil who generally are, from their idle habits, set a bad example *to our domestics, and a growing evil to our state ; we would therefore recommend that a similar law to that which exists in one of our sister states be enacted for their better government. ? We recommend that the Legisla ture pass a law, regaling the one now in force, making the punish ment for murdering a negro slave I only of t pecuniary uatiire, and that they enact a law instead thereof, more consistent with humanity and the digni.y of the state. We present as a grievance, the want of a sufficient law against va grants, whereby many idle and dis orderly persons are suffered to prey upon the community to the great in jury of tltt* industrious and peacable inhabitants of the state. We state to the court that wc visit ed the goal, and found the apartments clean and the prisoners satisfied : the building much out of repair ; nnc do iccorameud, the repairs of tin same without kiss of time.

" 1 have lately returned from the mountains hy t lie way of the ntvv Saluda it nail, anil I cannot ilo jus tice to my ov\n feelings without per mitting yon to participate in the plea sure which I have received in view ing the vast improvement which is ?oing on there. The season has been unfavorable from the incessant rains which have fallen on the moun tains; but by tlte indefatigable at tention and industry of JMr, Poinsett and Col. Bla tiding, the work has progressed with a decree of dispatch, v\ hich is almost incredible. The whole of the hill v and mountanioos * part of the road, will in all probabili ty be completed eaily in October. ? ? Anil when finished, there is little doubt but that any waggon or car riage that can get to the foot of the mountain can go to U>e summit with ease. Any that can come to the top on the North-Carolina side can des cend without locking a wheel. You would ill so be as' much struck with the beauty and magnitude, as (he utility of the work. The serpentine coi?rse of the road, the mountain scenery with which it is surrounded, the walls and arched bridges the rivulets and cascades exhibit a com hination of the beautiful and sublime, w hich never entered the rcmvgiuatiou of Allison or Burke. i he expense, however, has created considerable opposition to it in some of the Up per Districts ? but I believe it is merely an election stalking horse, made use of by the designing to al hive the weak and ignorant to their interest, and I hope the -good sense of the State will prevail over their fears and prejudices. . I understand that the people of Tennessee are making efforts to get their State to co-operate with South- Carolina, and hopes are entertained that North Carolina will unite with them to car ry the road on through those States. When we trace the mutual interests and dependence of the several States, it is gratifying to see the bands of union multiplied and etrtengtltejied. The fieopla of Kentucky, Tennes see \and N. Carolina bring their horses, liogs, cattle and other pro ductions of those States to us, and take back in returh, some groceries, and other goods, cotton ami cotton yarn, &c. but principally ca&h. This at first view, would appear* like en unprofitable trade to us, as the prin ciple profit would seem to arise from the market which it furnishes for the surplus corn, bacon, beef &c. of the planters as they pass along. But when we find that the money so ta ken from us fi uds rts way into the hands of the merchants, and by them is sent to Baltimore, Philtdel- ; phia and New- York for goods, and ' from thence to Charleston for Kice j and Cotton, we see that out Bank Bills are merely (he medium of bar ter between the productions of the Western States and the staple com modities of our own. And I have little doubt that if the system of im provement of our rivers and roads, which has been commenced, shall be carried on to the perfection of which they are susceptible, the States of Tennessee and North- Ca rolina will furnish the best markets which the Planters of the Upper Country will have for their cotton and cotton yarn. The annual revo lution op our money has given to the Bank/ paper of -South-Carolina a niorcf extensive circulation and high er credit* than the bills of any Stale in the Union, and the system of In- j ternal Improvement which has only commenced, has already given to the State an elevation of character which tlie pride of every Carolinian ought to induce him to cherish and support." From the Boston Ccntincl, Oct. 28. FROM IWEAOS A Y UK Last evening we received from Mr. Top ii(T a file of |:apers from Uutnos Ayrcs? lo the 12th August. Among them are several Bulletins of the army of the pmxince, under Gen. .Mamf.l Di nkc.o. Our, da ted Aug.

The fruits of this victory were, one Colonel in Chief, i) Lt.

Whatever ma) l>e the issue of the pending investigation, the King is destined to drink deep in the cup of humiliation. The Queen may oa*s the ordeal in safety ; and even if *i.e he pronounced guilty, a considerable portion of the community will ohstin atelv deny the justice of the sentence ; and many will pause before t hey ratify a verdict obtained upon ihe evidence produced ; particularly when they recollect the extravagant compensation alowed by the prosecu ting party. But as to the King, public opinion ha^ compelled him, virtually to acknowledge' that his conduct has been such as to forfeit all claim to be released from a wo man, who, if a moiety of the testi mony produced against her be true, is not only one of the most abandon ed, but( filthy of her sex.
