IIERESFORD soon after appeared at the Bar, and informed the House, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent had been pleased to appoint three o'clock this day for receiving the Address of the House in Answer to the Speech..

(Concluded from our Paper of Saturday.) Lemetuhire to wit.—The Rumination of T. U. taken upon oath before me, the Reverend Thomas Dunham Whitaker,' Clerk, Doctor of Laws, one of his Majesty's Justices of the' Peace in and for the said County, this eleventh day of October, • This afternoon, about four o'clock, I went into the smithy of Ralph Miller, in Mellor, is the said County, to inquire after my son-in-law who has run away from his master,who is a blacksmith. 1 found lialph Miller and a young man at work at the forge; there were in the smithy about five or six other men, who ap p a vd to be Weavers; they were sitting, and seemed to be watch- IN the smith's work. I inquired from Ralph Miller, whether had seen any person answering the description of my son-in tsw, whom I described'? he said, he had not ; one of the Weavers s ci to me, he (meaning my son-in-law) is making pikes like th..se; at the same time, this person took up an unfinished ti.te from the ground, under the bellows, and skewed it to me; (1 had before stated that my son-in-law's master was a black-'1 sniith). Ralph Miller turned his head towards the man who had tilt= up the pikes, and smiled. I then inquired of Ralph • it he could make me heels to my shoes ?he said he could not, he was too busy. One of the Weavers said, he (Ralph Miller) was too busy making pikes ; another of the Weavers asked me, if there were any pikes in our neighbourhood? I said, I had not seen any, but I had heard that there were a good many coming to the thlton Meeting next Wednesday from Haslingden ; one of the Weavers answered, We know that. One of the Weavers elect asked me, if they would come with their pikes? I said I tt .d heard so ; another of the Weavers said, " and we will too." One of the Weavers then took up another pike, which was nearly finished ; I inquired the price of it? one of the Weavers said it was a shilling ; a young man dressed like a Weaver, who was using the large hammer for the young smith, said it was four teen-pence. I asked the young man who was dressed like a Weaver, to sell it to me; but he said, I could not have one then, as they had none finished. I was in the smithy about an hour and a half, during which I had a good deal of conversation with the Weavers and the two smiths, in the course of which one of the Weavers said, there was no way for them but rising altogether. One eche Weavers asked the if I thought there would be any thing to do at Bolton at the Reform .\ reins next Wednesday? I said I could not toll, but that people were afraid there would be. Another of t Weavers said, there would be bloody work; another said, they would not be, as they were at isianchester, unarmed ; that they had a right to go to tht :Jeering armed. The old man, Rslph hiller, was present cl.rring tke whole Gf this conversation; be appeared to be rather dialf, and was busy at work during the greater part of the time, but he must have heard the whole, or a part of flit conversation. T. C. Taken before me, T. D. WHITAKER. INDL4:: ARCHIPELAGO. The following extract of a Letter, dated Batavia, July 19, contains some curious particulars relative to a contest that has arisen between the Dutch and the Sultan of Palembang, a native Prince, placed by themselves on the Throne: " A considerable body of the Dutch troops have _ been driven from Palembang by the natives, headed by the Sultan, who was lately placed on the Throne by themselves, to the exclusion of the Sultan who '.vas set up by Sir STAMFORD RAFFLES. They have lost in. killed and wounded upwards of 100 men. The circumstances are said to be as follows :—Com missioner MUNTINGIIE had concluded some negocia tion with the Sultan (the object not distinctly known), one condition of which stipulated, that three hostages, Princes of his family, should be surrendered to the Dutch. The time fixed upon was seven in the even ing, but MUNTLNGIIE dispatched a Messenger, re questing that an earlier hour might be appointed His Envoy found the gates of the Kraton closed, and saw preparations making for battle, which induced him to proceed to the Commanding Officer of about 200 Dutch troops stationed near the palace, who were all ready to embark for the other side of the river, where MINTING= was stationed. The troops embarked hastily with their baggage, but were fired on from a battery of heavy guns, upwards of thirty in number, and suffered considerably.— A corvette and schooner, stationed in the river, open ed a heavy fire upon the Kraton and battery, under the cover of which the troops rushed to the assault. They found the outer gate open (a trap !h but on proceeding to the second, met with so warm a recep• fon, that they drew off with the loss of several men; and about this time the fire from the vessels slacken ing for want of ammunition, the troops were all em barked, and the place entirely evacuated. They have since reached Banca, and Murnirrome has arrived here from that place. He has proceeded after the Governor, who is absent in the interior. The num ber of troops at Banca is stated at eight hundred ; but a large expedition is ordered to be in readiness from hence of fifteen hundred or two thousand men. Nothing will be done until the receipt of the Gover nor's orders, which he may End expedient to give in person, and will probably return for that purpose.' The natives in the mean time will have leisure to strengthen their defences. They are said to have some heavy guns, which airccmjektured to have been obtained from the wreck of the littrtirtz frigate. The Dutch talk of sending one of their 74's With the troops, for the purpose of demolishing the works by the weight of metal, and if such a ship can up the river, it is supposed she wig effect that object.-- The new settlement at Sincaport, to which Sir Ss um- FOHD ItArrLeAs is about to transfer the seat of Go vernment, is increa.sing,ist a most extraordinary de 'lee by the emigration Of Chinese and natives from lalacca, Rhin, and Linen, and being declared free ten years, will mot probably be freely resorted The abandoning* of Bencoolen, and other un ofitable settlemen the coast of umatra, seems, all events, judic ;it is perfectly usele ss as a ;lc on the Dutcht supported at an enormous ill .1,cu5,:,." .1. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1819. THE FUNDS. PRICE OF STOOKS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK 5 per Cent. Reduced 67 66f • 3 per Cent. Consols 674{ 4 per Cent. 84}} 5 per Cent.

This morning, the Funds opened at the price they left off at on Saturday, but appeared very heavy. The opinion of the speculators for a rise has materially altered, in consequence of the gloomy state of, trade and commerce, and the lowering aspect of the political horizon. The caution observed by the Monied Interest evidently forebodes some very material alteration in the value of Stock, and the prevalent opinion is, from the state of the Country generally, that a depression will take place. At One o'Clock, Consols for the Account were 671. The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have arrived since our last. The Moniteur of Friday contains the Royal Ordi nance declaring that General Count GROUCHY was comprehended in the Amripsty decreed by the Law of the 12th January, 1816, and restoring him to all the rights, titles, ranks, and honours, which he held pre vious to the epoch of the 19th March, 1815. On Wednesday the Kiwi presided at a Council of Ministers. Doubts are still expressed as to the Mar quis de LATOUR..MAUBOURG'S accepting of the War Department. In the mean time, the Duke de BROGLIO and Count MOLE are said to have both declined the Embassy to London. The Five per Cents. which, in consequence, as is generally allowed, of the change of Ministers, had tallen on Tuesday to 671 r. .50c. have recovered so rapidly, that on Thursday they were at 69fr. 10c. and left off at 68fr. 70c. Frankfort Papers, to the 21st instant, arrived last night. The only novelty which they present, is the following sketch of the Constitution which is about to be established in Prussia ; and if this outline be correct, it requires but little sagacity to predict, that it will not gratify the just expectations of the Prus sian people. It is not that which the Government, in the hour of peril, held out to them, as the reward. of their heroic exertions for the deliverance of Ger many from the French yoke: 1. The Commercial Administration will be placed on a more uniform footing ; but the Municipal Administration will be more restricted than it is at present. 2. Each Circle will hold Assemblies, at which the Councillor of the Circle will preside. The Deputies of the Towns, of the Landowners, or Nobility, and "even of the Peasantry, will form three separate Assemblies; the Members to be chosen by the Regency. 3. Each Province will have States, abo to be elected by the Regency of the Provinces. They shall be taken from among the three Orders. Their ancient composition will be retained, as far as possible. The Fast President is the Chief of them, and in those Provinces in which the French abolished tko States, tkey will be restored. 4. Thy States of the whole Kingdom will form two Chambers: the first will consist of the Peers, including the SO Mediatised Nobles, to whom will perhaps be added some of the Chief Of ficers of State. The second will be composed of Members chosen in the Provincial States, and will be divided according. to the three Orders. The Chamber of Peers will be formed into two Sections; the first will contain the Nobles mentioned above, with the new •Members taken from the high Nobility; the second to be composed of the Clergy, represented by the Bishops and Prelates of all the Confessions ; which gives reason to expect, that the number of Bishops and Prelates will be augmented. S. All the Princes, Ministers of State, and Lieutenants-Gene ral, are Members of the Chamber of Peers. 6. All the debates of the Assemblies of the States are partly deliberative." Flanders and Dutch Mails arrived this day, from which we learn that Lord VA ta.ETORT passed through Brussels, on his way from Vienna to London, on the 18th instant. By accounts from Odessa, of the 18th . October, it appears that the Plague s t ill rage s at Jassey : it has, however, somewhat abated at Con stantinople. Accounts from Bagdad speak of a misunderstand mg which has broken out between the PACHA and the eldest soa of the SCHAH of PERSIA, who is Go vernor of the fortress of Kermanthah. Prince Mau mom Ar.t MIRZA has long been trying to make this ' Pachalik return under the dominion of Persia, and even to get possession of Bagdad, He had already taken rebels under his protection, excited troubles, and'employed every means that could tend to facili tate his object. At present be openly favours a revolt in the province of Saleimaniack. Accounts from Vienna state, that Doctor Fares, Professor of Philosophy at Jena, who, in the year 1817, was present at the Festival on the Wartzburg, and harangued the Students assembled on that occa. sion, has been deprived of his office. We mentioned some time ago the real or pretended, detection of some frauds in the Ottoman Mint, laid to the charge of certain Armenians. The story is re vived, and we think begins to explain itself. The Armenian Merchants and Farmers have committed' the crime of getting rich by their industry :—the Turkish Treasury is low ; and as, in the dark ages, the Jews an one pretext and another were robbed by the Potentates of Christendom, so, now, in Turkey, the rich Armenian families are suffering confiscations. FIVER tx AMERICA.—In general the Fever appears tote declining in those places where it prevailed to the greatest extent. This is a subject which, for va rious reasons, must possess considerable interest In these Countries: not only is our Commercial connec tions affected by the disease, but anxiety must be considerably excited among the friends and relatives of our emigrant countrymen. Before Ministers resort to new measures of coercion, it certainly ought to be ascertained whether the exist ing laws, if duly executed, would not be sufficient to all the exigencies of the times, disturbed and alarm ing as they may appear to the most apprehensive of the majority in both Housei ? The 57th of the King, c. 19, has partly expired; but is there not a clause in that Act, which provides—" That nothing, in that Act contained, shall be deemed to take away or abridge any provision already made by the Law of this Realm, or any part thereof, for the suppression or punish ment of any offence whatsoever, described in that Act ?" By this exception, clause 35, the pro V isions of the 39th of the King, c, 79, are still in force, and by that Act, , 4 For the more effectual suppres sion of Societies, established for seditious and trea sonable purposes, &c." offenders may be proceeded against, either summarily before one Justice, or by indictment. If convicted before the Justice, the penalty is twenty pounds, or three months im prisonment—if convicted on indictment, the punish ment is transportation for seven years. Add to this, that only the first twenty-two sections of the 57th of the King have expired—the rest of the clauses are still in existence. By the 25th sec tion, Societies requiring tests or declarations not re quired by law, or electing Committees or Delegates, Representatives or Missionaries to meet, communi cate, or confer with any other Society er Club, or to induce or persuade any persoa or persons to become Members thereof, shall be taken and deemed to be unlawful combinations or confederacies within the meaning of the 39th of the KING. Persons becom ing Members of such Societies, or corresponding with them, are to be proceeded against as combina tors—and there is only an exception for Freemasons Lodges, for Societies of Quakers, nr Meetings for charitable purposes, or where two Justices shall au thorize the same. Surely these provisions are suffi ciently severe to answer every wholesome purpose of political security—and if they have not been acted on, it can only be from the same motive that the most inflammable and seditious publications have been passed over, to furnish a pretext for new encroach ments on our liberties. There was a report current yesterday at the west erd of the town, that our venerable SOVEREIGN had on Saturday enjoyed an interval of relief from his mental affliction, and to such a degree as to give hopes of his perfect recovery. It is said, that in the beginning of the week his MAJESTY had suffered a severe bowel complaint, accompanied by violent purging ; from this he was happily recovered, but to the effect of this is ascribed the lucid enjoyment of reason which manifested itself on Saturday. We state the fact as the report of the day, but for the authen ticity of which we cannot pledge ourselves. Saturday the PRINCE REGENT held a Court at Carlton House, to receive the Address of the House of Commons. At three o'clock the SPEAKER arrived in State, followed by Mr. Somers Cocks and Mr. Cwt (the Mover and S e c on d er ), Mr. Bootle Wilbraham, Sir Walter Stirling, Sir George Shiff ner, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Holford, Sir Charles Cockerel, Mr. Powell, Lord Granville Somerset, Mr. Wellesley Pole, Mr. C.
