Neither ..!id say uttered in a spirit of hostility to the Military, ‘, or the Government ; but was spoken in the ~ trse of conversatian, on the occasion of a casual horseback in Hyde Park, without the most distant on my part that it would be carried to the Press. actually occurred at Manchester, on the Itith of for as I was concerned, the following (which is the st . what I mentioned to Mr. Parkins) is a very short account ; b e a rrival of the 15th Hussars to assist in dispersing ig (the Yeomanrybaving previously, and in their ab jured to the hustings), ,and when I was personally as se accomplishment of that object, I perceived that the Nang from one of the corners of the field was inter y a party of the military, who had surrounded a consi body of people. Knowing that it was the dispersion of 'kg that was desired, and not their destruction, a sense .s well as humanity, led me to interpose, and I shall ice in having done so, notwithstanding the misrepresen ' unmerited reflections to which I have in consequence ord. ~ sins for me to correct an erroneous impression that wive to my quitting the service, and which appears i~iu,ted in the extraordinary ob servation of the Offi , the person who is stated to.have made use of such nu longer in the Army !'

It appears, lag in want of money to enable him to effect ipe, he had applied to the Union, Committee town. He was recognised bra man who wittingly admitted into the Society, under the Fiitcher. This person immediately lodged :::ration with the Deptity Constable, who took hurse with him, surrounded the.house, and MB into custody. On Tuesday he was fully hied to Lancaster Castle. Last night ;he whole P.ary Union, ten e in number, were apprehended ught to Manchester. After a long examina co-day, they were committed to Lancaster Cas nt a charge.of misdemeanour, whither they wete led this afternoon, very heavily ironed.

The following Report is given in a New York Pa per, of the proceedings of a Court of Oyer and Ter miner for the District of Quebec and the Indian Ter ritories, opened by Comtnission under the Great Seal, dated 29th April, 1818, and continued by. adjourn ment to the 21st of October, 1819: It appeared in the course of the proceeslingsin the Session of the Commission, that , in November, 1818, a Memorial was 'presented to 'his Grace' the Duke of Richmond, on the part of the North-West. Cdmpany, myths, 'that a Special Court of-Oyer and Terminer might take place, to hear and :deter mine all-cases arising in the Indian Territories. An l early reply was given, that a Court Would open ftir that purpose on the 21st of October, 1819, and alai the Crown would, in-doe time,- give notice to the: patties. On the.24th of May last, the Crown . gave notice that a Court Woad Eft held .at'QUebec, on the 2d of November, for that iturpose;,and the notice: was immediately acted upon by those - of theiNorth- West Company interested therein; it was forthwith dispatched into-the interior, and those Whtriiere im plicated in the accusations broughtforivsird-hy.tbe Earl, of Selkirk were apprised of it, as fora: time and distance would allow. It appeared, lagwever, that some time after this notice kid been given to the North-West Company, the agent Of the 'Earl 'OC Sel: kirk, notwithstanding that his Lcirds)iip bad, Ili. ap Ipeared by his printed Memorial ) produced jn Csutt, 'oho pettoonett government ilithis country, is (kW ber, 1818, that a Cotiarnsion of Oyer and Terminer for the same purposes should issue, had explicitly stated to Government, that the private prosecutor, (tbs. Earl of Selkirk 4 was not ready, and that proba bly the earliest time when he might be ready would be the autumn of 1820! An intimation to this effect was, in consennenZe,. given on the'ilOth of ;lone, to the principal *agent of the North. West Colinpany, ,then absent from the Pro4ince; and actUally in the I 'lndian territories—a period when it :Much too late, even had the thing been, in itself- reasonable ; and the preparations for the. approaching expected. trials, though at a great expense, necessarily went on, pursuant to the first - notice. However,'On the 2d Of October, the parties accused found it expedient to lay a Memorial before the President against any fur- I ther protraction of their trials; in reply to Which, his Honour stated, that ..;‘t Commission of Oyer and Ter miner, for the Trials of Offenies comtnitted in the In dian Territories, had issued on the 29th . of- April, 1818, and was continued by-adjournment to the 21st of October, and would open on that day, t where le-- gal course and redress must be sought for by the per sons interested therein.' . . " Accordingly, several' Gentlemen belonging to the North-West Company, with upwards of twenty witnesses, collected from distances of from two to five thousand miles, appeared on the opening of the Court, when the names of the accused, viz.—Archi bald Ntrinan M'Leod, James Leith, Alexander Mac donell, Archibald M.Leitan, Hugh SimUn Fraser, and John Siveright, were recorded by con sent. The Court continued by adjournment till•last Thursday, when the COunsel a the North-West Company stated the circumstances above set forth from affidavits sled by consent, and moved that those who were under recognizance should be dis charged from their bail, and those not under recog nizance should be discharged by proclamation, as the Crown had declared in Court that there was no thing to object against any one of them. After . a discussion of sonic length, the Court adjourned to consider of these motions till the following day; when, with the exception of one of the accused (Mr . 'MtLellan), who happened to be under recognizance in that Court, the Bench decided that the applicants should take nothing by their motions. In the course of the animadversions that fell from the Bench and from the Solicitor-General, it appeared that they con sidered that the Court had no jurisdiction to inter fere with offences alleged to have been committed in the Indian territories, unless brought forward by the Crown. " Early in the Session, two' bills of indictment were preferred by the Crown, and found by the Jury, agaiast Mr. Williams, Mr. John CI arice, Mr. John IV•Leod, Captain Mathey, Serjeants Vii,ohy and aril and several Meuron soldiers, all in the service of the Earl of Selkirk or of the Hudson's Bay Corn- , pally, for the assault and false imprisonment, in the nionth of June last, at the Grand Rapid. in the In dian territories, of Mr. Shaw, Mr. M'Tavish, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Frobisher, and Mr: Mackintosh, part ners in the North-West Company, with several of their head canoemen. " On the 29th of October, the Court adjourned till the '2lth of January, 1820." .1 -- \ DOMESTIanSIIERIEI TO THE EDAM THE STAR. -• is a reproach upon this Nation, that so little has hitherto been effected in the improvement of our Domestic Fisheries. The subject, it is true,. has been often before the Public ; Committe have ,' been appointed, and solemn incluiries made, but still nothing of consequence has been undertaken—no good has resulted. Addled sittings have produced nothing but barren Reports ; and, with the exception of a few experiments, badly contrived, and misera bly executed, matters, with respect to these Fisheries, remain pretty much as they were. It is not necessary that I should repeat to you all that has been said in defence of the superior genius of the Dutch, nor is it my intention to trouble you with a recapitulation of the nonsense which has been urged, to prove that they understand the thing bet ter than we do; but I 'shall merely contend, for my countrymen, that it would be doing them a manifest injustice, and a positive outrage upon common sense, to suppose their genius, either in building a buss, Or salting a herring, to be in any degree behind the Dutch. No, Sir, it has not been from any want of knowledge in the art of 'taking or curing the fish, that we have failed in making the Domestic Fisheries an object of national importance; but it is to the in• sufficiency of funds, and to the vexatious operation of Customs and Excise duties and regulations, that we may justly attribute our want of success. And thus it happens, that while our neighbours ate en riching themselves at our very doors—with one of the most certain sources of wealth in the world with in our graspwith an abundant supply of the most nutritious food—a mine of wealth in our possession.— we permit the Dutch to make us believe that we are mere novices, and to filch from us this noble means of national aggrandizement! My sole object in bringing this subject before the Public, is with the vit• v of directing the general at tention to its importance ; and I shall, therefore, now briefly state what, in my mind, should be done to establish a great National Fighery ; confining my plan to mere outline, and leaving this to be filled up hereafter, as circumstances may require. I would then propose, • Ist, That a Meeting should be called at the Son. don Tavern,. for the purpose of - Liking the business into consideration. • " _ _ 2dly, That hoOks shisuld . lie opened for the pur pose of raising the stink' .of - two millions, by sub scription. - .- ' • ° - Sdly, That a foetiticittfor a Charter, to incorporate the subscriberi,:bi' presented to Parliament, in con ,sideration for 'which, the Company would engage to supply'•a certain number of seamen by drafts, and Without bounty, for his Majesty's naval service. -* 4thlt, That the Company should endeavour net only to-obtain a total repeal of the salt duty, as far as regards the Fisheries, but also of every son. of im - post on all articles used therein. The Company being in no wise taxed, would not logk to Government for payment of any bounty. • :Supposing all this arranged, I would next propose, that the number of Fishery Establishments under the controul of this Company should be six, viz.—two in England, two in Scotland. and two in Ireland. Thus, in England, one station to be near Sidmouth, in De vonshire, and -to have two branches, one of which to tend westward, taking in all the coast of England and Wales, as far as Haverfordwest ; the boats of the other branch to have an easterly direction limn the same point, and to extend as far as Margate.— These two branches would be conducted by, and form only one Establishment. The other English Establishment I would fix on the southern shore of the mouth of the Humber; one branch of which (for this Establishment should also have two divisions) to take a northern line of fishing, in the German Ocean, as far as Berwick, which would be its northern limit; while the boats of the other branch, stretching south ' ward, would take in all the coast, to the mouth of the Thames. . In Scotland, there would be two Establishments also,- each having two branches-One-Establishment I. would place somewhere near Nairn, on the. Murray Firth ; one branch of which to take its fishing course round Kinnaird's Head, and along -the coast as fart Isouth as Berwick, which will.form .its southern limit; the other branch would navigate the coast of Stither-, land and Caithness, and passing through the Pent land Firth, proceed as far as Cape Wrath, which would be its western limit t the Orkneys would come also Within the scope of this btanch, The other Scotch station I wotild'place on - the west coast, somewhere about Oban, opposite the Isle of Mull ; one division of which sliould include the Hebrides, and the islands and coast of Scotland northward,, as fax . its the he fore-mentioned Cape Wrath, in Suthsrlandshire, which would 'be its eastern lintit; the other,divisica ranging along the islands 'alai coast, taking in that part of the coast of Ireland which lies betweep the Giant's Causeway and. Donaghadee, and also the Solway Firth, as far as Annan. .This comPriscs* whole, coast of England and Scotland, excepting so 'much of the coast of 'England as lies between. St. David's Head and the southern shore of the SOlway Firth, which I have purposely not included, being 'desirous, in the narrow seas, of Feventing, as . much as possible, all interference setvixt the boats of the respective stations, it being my intention that this part of the coast of 'England should be attached to the Irish fishing stations. In Ireland, I would propose to haie also two sta tions; one of which to he in the neighbourhood of castrebar, on the west coast; one division of which, taking along The coast nOithWard l and afterwards eastward, as far as Dona ghadee, %heather taking a southerly direCtion; and round as far as Cape Clear, 'which would be its eastern limit. The other,,station I Would • place in or near Wexford Haien ; one branch of which to fish in a south-% estern direction, -as far rifest as Cape Clear, the other branch running along the coast, northward, de far as Donaghadee, 'and taking in the whole orthe op posite coast of "Eng land, - lying betwixt' St. David's Head and the south shore of the Solway Firth, and this takes in the en tire coast of the United Kingdom: I have said no thing about the number or tonnage of the boats to be employed, or the number of men to navigate them ; 'these are points which the Company would have to determine. The deep would rdquite a different equip mint from the shoat water fishing: . I should, ever, imagine, 'that . the largest vessel should not be more than fifty tons, and the greatest complement of `hands need not exceed seven, say five men and two. ys. it might be well to have an understood at genient, that ill men employed' in these Fklieries, ould, after three years service be liable- to be drafted - for.the service of his Majesty's Navy; and boys, in like manner, after five years, understanding - With Government that such drafts should not exceed a certain limit. 1 shall, howeVer, for the present, go no further into the subject, but rather leave to others to fill ue the present outline; trusting that'the mo nied men 4 .the country will not be fonmi wand's; _ ,ry . in spirit to set in motion a plan so likely to afford both food and employment to the poor, and wealth to the country at large. hoping to see this matter taken up by abler hands, I remain, Sir, Your very obedient and obliged servant, London, December, 1819. Yesterday, the Loan CU:ANCELLOR, the Vicu- Cu A NCELLOR, and CountTuNcnoriP,- had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlt(4l-House. Thefollowing interestirg Letter has been addreised to the lidimr of the Leeds 111erctery : " BARNSLEY, DECEMBER 15. - [ ". SIR—In compliance with your request, I shall endeavour to 'give you as clear a view of cur present state as tim able., know • . 'fog that your steady devotion to the public good?intitles you to ' candour and truth. " As to the arming, about which you inquire, I can only say, that I believe it has chiefly been confined to the procuring of long staves or poles; but I will not say that there are no pikes in this place, though I hr.ow they have never been exercised with, nor in any way publicly exhibited. • ' That theft has been drilling admits of no doubt, and that on the nights mentioned by VI . . Wortley,but never either before or since; and then the numbers were greatly exaggerated, for on os n. the evening mentioned by Mr. Forbes, there were nom than seven, those being all the . deluded enthusiasts that emit en be mustered; but it seems Mr. Forbes'a fears multiplied tll • :by ten. The greatest number that ever turned out for this purpose was on the evening of this day fortnight., They exhibited in a field directly opposite the rear of the house in which I live, at which place I stood, and couldclearly see them fall in, anall:ear them number themselves off: they were four squadrons, g:r . crat ing thirty each. At the other, or third and last drill, their num ber was so inconsiderable, as not to merit notice : and I can as- ..„„ sure you, Sir, that at the great muster above-mentioned, their squadrons were almost entirely composed of inconsiderate boys, ignorant of the consequences of such practices. . " You wish to know what or who has impelled them to such acts? I will tell you, in order that such conduct may not be . imputed to the genuine Reformers of this place. It is the mis fortune of Rirnsley to contain a weak-minded old mam—a would be politician, remarkable for nothing so much as the greedy cre dulity with which be swallows• every wonderful story. This. . poor fellow has been duped by a political incendiary, who visited him peribdically, representing himself as i Delegate from—God knowi Where ! At the instance of this Delegate, he called a - Meeting to be held on Monday, the 15th hist. being told that such Meetitigs were to he general. Finding the Advertisement standing alone, he saw who was the dupe, and consequently •,, abandoned the Meeting altogether, and now regrets all he has done, not knowing what course to pursue. You have now a •• key to the whole history of this tremendous Barnsley Meeting, by the . terrors of, which Senatekstood appalled. The great body of the Reformers of this place had no hand whatever in thja . business, and the political incendiary spoken of above has ceased to visit larnsley, and is no where to be found. ". Sunday evening, a party of the 4th Dragoon Guards; or t . Royal Irish, amounting to SS in number, arrived here from . Sheffield, and remained with us until Tuesday morning, when they returned.' Not the least hurtle or disturbance took place on Monday, except that we had a Bench of Magistrates sitticg - at the head inn. On their recommendation a Public Meeting . of the respectable Householders was called, to form an Associa don fOi the preservation of that Whichlas not yet been violated —the public peace. This Meeting, which was called by Mr. John Hopwood and Mr. Wm. Kershaw, constables, was held in the Grammar Sgbool, m Ito o'clockohlr. Joust Horwoon in: she Chair, when it watt resolred a • that a nightly patrole should he ' . established to save til2 expenks OrWatch and Ward. The Meeting was thinly attended, and some of the mote strenuous advocates of the measure declined to be of the. Committee for '' carrying the Resolutions into effect. " Mr. Wortley -was rather sanguine in his predictiots in Pao: • liament, as not a single arrest has yet taken place." The following is a Copy of. a Paper circulated by • the Booksellers and Printers, relating to the Banish ment Clause in the Libel Bill: " The Clause, so far as it relates to Transportation, haS been withdrawn, but as it relates to Banishment, has been retained i to the latter punishment, however, the Booksellers and Printers still feel insuperable objections. There is certainly a difference in the two punishments, but although the - one he more ignomi ,nious and degrading thafi the other, yet that of Banishment may have a severity of operation equal to that of Transportation in most cases, and may, in some cases, be more severe. And while . inevitable ruin attends either punishment, the sufferer is thereby placed beyond the beuigrrint influehce of the British Coneritn •tion, and left in a situation from whence the Crown, the foun- : tain of mercy, cannot be-supplicated; or at hest supplicated un der disadvantages from which the greatest criminal is free, while . permitted to remain in this, country. These considerations, it is presumed, are of the highest importance with regard to crimes, like Libel, which are not specific and certain, and which, after . convicuon may, from that circumstance; admit of many extenua. tions nut immediately apparent. And as a principle of just ar.sl . wise legislation has been applied in rejecting the punishment of Transportation for the crimes mentioned in the Bill, so the Booksellers and Printers venture to hope, that the punishment • of Banishment, hitherto unknown (as a permanent measure) in the jurisprudence of this country, will nut be retained. They scarcely feel less apprehensive of the consequences of being sub ject to one punishment, than they were of being subject to both, and they cannot but feel great apprehension and alarm in the contemplation of a linensure which involves every personal and domestic. comfort." ;the following is an Extract from a Proclamation, dated Lisbon, 18th November t “ The Bo a :rd - elf Health, desirous to prevent those inconve- Mendes that produce such irregularity in its daily occupations; as also to give every dispatch to business, and facility to trade, so much' impeded.by the non-delivery of documents relative to she crew s passengers, . and other matters respecting the cargoes. of ships, whfeh Me required to be produed on entering the ports .of this kinjdoin, and particularly that of .
