DIGEST OF POLITICAL EVENTS.
GREAT BRITAIN.

TO every lover of his country, it must be the highest source of gratification to contemplate the proud pre-eminence which this empire holds in the scale of nations, arising from the mildness of its government, the purity of its laws, and the valor of its army and its navy. With a return of peace, a return of commerce has enriched our citizens, increased our revenues, and gladdened the hearts of all. The dæmon of faction, which for some time has disturbed the tranquillity of our manufacturing districts is fled, and the workmen, no longer deluded by the influence of jacobinical factions, have returned to their various Occupations.

The firm and decided measures adopted by ministers to quell the very appearances of insurrection, deserve the grateful acknowledgment of all lovers of social order, and the dispositions manifested by them, to relieve the people of a portion of their burthens, by a reduction of the army as soon as the safety and honor of the state will permit, merit our confidence.

The troops who have formed the British contingent of the allied army in France, continue to return to the bosom of their friends and their country, to receive the reward which a grateful nation never fails to bestow.

It is our painful duty to record the death of our beloved sovereign the

Queen, which took place on the 17th. instant, about twenty minutes after one o'clock. Her sufferings, which were protracted and severe, and borne with true christian piety and resignation, were terminated by an easy and tranquil death. Her Majesty was 74 years of age, and had sat 57 upon the British throne. As the consort of a good and great monarch, as the mother of a numerous family, as a woman, and as a queen, her entire life and conduct has been so exemplary, that in times, certainly not characterized by servile respect for rank, and reverence for princes, she has almost escaped calumny. The enemies of her Majesty have never even ventured to impeach her moral purity. Her charities were numerous, and always performed in an unostentatious manner, seeking rather the steadfast approbation of her own conscience than popular applause.

In consequence of the above calamitous event, a meeting of the Privy Council was held on the 19th, and the Parliament was summoned for the 14th Jan. 1819.

THE CONGRESS OF AIX-LA-Chapelle.

THE labours of the congress have at length terminated, and the Sovereigns have taken their departure from thence. The pacification of Europe is thus accomplished, and by the withdrawing of the troops from the French territory, an end is put to those measures of pre

BADEN.

THE Sovereignty of Baden is likely to become vacant soon, by the decease of the Grand Duke, who has no lineal heirs male, and who holds the Palatinate under the late treaty of Vienna, only for himself, and for such heirs. That rich

electorate was annexed to Baden, partly on account of some cessions made to Bavaria, and partly because it was held, that the former state, as one of those placed in the frontier of France, should be rendered capable of maintaining a force of twenty thousand men.

ST. DOMINGO.

THIS island was visited on the 25th of August last, with a most violent hurricane; the largest trees were bent before the impetuosity of the winds. This continued from about 2 to 4 p. m., when the rain began to fall, accompanied by incessant lightning. About a quarter of an hour after, a flash of lightning struck the highest point of the citadel, about one hundred paces from the nearest lightning rod, and thence passing in a direct line in front of the great postern, it crossed the guard-house of the gar rison without doing any mischief, and finally exploded in the laboratory, which stands in the rear of the building. This building contained a great quantity of projectiles which had been prepared, and which time had not allowed to be secured in the magazines. A terrible explosion took place, which set fire to the neighbouring buildings, and occasioned the death of the governor, together with many other valuable lives.

AMSTERDAM.

[Dec. 1,

THE money market of Amsterdam is singularly depressed; the fall was so great, that several of the jobbers became unable to fulfil their obligations, and were declared defaulters: every species of stock suffered, but the foreign securities appear to have declined in a greater of things, is, perhaps, without parallel proportion than any others. This state in the history of government securities.

MADRID.

M. DE PARGA has been appointed the provisional successor of M. de Garay the financier. The most satisfactory intelligence has been received from Lima; M'Gregor's expedition has created considerable consternation, and certain political parties have derived much advantage from it. Mexico continues to be quite tranquil, and matters generally, were going on well in Venezuela.

AMERICA.

All the Jamaica rum has been bought up, and there is scarcely a hogshead of West India rum, or molasses, to be had. Coffee has risen to 35cts. and is expected to go higher. Sugars, also, maintain a high price, particularly those of the first quality.

The yellow fever has made its appearance here.

For the latter purpose, agents have been distributed by the patriots over different parts of Europe, but they have been more particularly active in the British dominions. Besides the two parties abovementioned, there is an expedition fitting out in the port of London, whose professed object is to join neither party, but to profit by both, as opportunity shall offer. Their destination is the Caraccas, and from thence over land in the direction of Peru.
