Radical Reform indeed Such unnecessary Meetings tend to make the very', term sickening, in the ears of rational men. The Paris Papers of Tuesday =rived last night. The following is the only article of intelligence which possesses any interest. PARIS, OCTOBER S. An important affair will shortly occupy the Tribu nals of Bourdeaur. M. Noguez has deposed, that in the month of July last, M. le Bouteiller offered him the situation of Lieutenant on board the ship Atalanta, belonging to Messrs. Mieussens, Roze, and Co. telling him at the same time, that the ship, on leaving the river, would attack every trading vessel she encoun tered, of whatever nation, preferring always those' that traded with India, because they were generally laden with specie. Three ships of Bourdeaux, which were preparing to sail with rich cargoes, were marked out to be the first attacked. Noguez says, that he accepted the offer for the purpose of frustrating this criminal enterprize, and, in pursuance of this inten tion, he, in a few days after, communicated to the Commissioner of the Navy all the details with which he was acquainted. •On the Bth of August M. Noguez was presented to M. Roze. A meeting was appointed in - a public garden, where all the Chiefs of the Expedition assem bled. It was then determined that the Atalanta was . to be equipped en corsaire, with all possible dili gence, for the purpose of sailing from the river, in company with the Sophia. This ship was known to contain a million of piastres. She was to be carried in the night by boarding, and being pillaged, was to be sunk, with every perso non board her. The same principle was to be pursued in All their subsequent enterprises, and when prudence required them to return to France, they were to give a fete to the crew on a desert island, and murder all whose discretion should be suspected. Some persons have been arrested, but they engage to refute, victoriously, all the allegations piefeged against them. • The Paris Papers of Wedneiday have also arrived this forenoon. The intelligence _which they - contain from Cadiz continues to be of a very melancholy description. The following is the latest Official Bul letin of the progress of the Epidensy: Cadiz 14, 15, and 16th Sept: isle de Leon 12, 13, 14, —The disease has also burst out at Port St. Marie, which has been equally abandoned to its own re soarces, and all communication with it interdicted. Cadiz does not now contain a single regulai soldier, the whole of the intended expeditionary army having dispersed itself throughout the towns of Andalusia. The town of Xeres is so wisely strict in its precau tionary measures, that it even refused admission to Count CALDERON, the Governor of the Province, when on his way from Cadiz to Aras, where he has etAblished his head-quarters.—kive per Cents.

II 1 , ILI THE ARMY. The - Half Brigade of the Royal Artillery, lately quartered at Limerick, are under orders to embark at Cork for the West Indies. Major-General DESBROWE has taken the command of the Royal Marines at Chatham. 'The 25th Light Dragoons arrived on Monday at Chatham, from India, under the command of Colonel -Tuvt.t.. This Regiment has. signally distinguished itself, whilst in India, during a period of 20 years. Tuesday the division of the 52d Regiment of Foot, stationed at Derby, marched into Litchfield, which is now the Head Quartets of the Corps. On the same day, the division which had been stationed at Litch field, marched to Tam worth. The Band of the Regi ment is a very fine one. The Military Force at Manchester will, in a few days, be considerably augmented—two Regiments arc expected in the neighbourhood. Wednesday the Calke Troop of Derbyshire Yeo manry met for exercise, when their Captain, Sir GEORGE CREWE, was int roduced to them. Major P. HAWKER has invented, and we under- 1 stand will shortly offer to the Patentees for the New System of Musical Education, a Moveable Appara tus •(so small that it may be carried in the pocket), which must preserve a correctly-formed hand, while passing the thumb on the keys of a Pianoforte, and in which it is impossible to play the scales on that instrument otherwise than in a mathematically-true position.

The French brig Le Mercure, lately wrecked near Boulogne, had on board the wh ole of the baggage of Count de la FERKONAIM the French Ambassador. Wednesday a solemn dirge was performed at the Spanish Chapel, in commemoration of the late Miss BRYAN, of York-place. The Catholic Bishops, and almost the whole of the Catholic Clergy, attended. The presence of all the children, male and female, of St. Patrick's Charity, who have lost a munificent be nefactress, added greatly to the mournful and af fecting scene. The operation of the Sun and Moon on the Equi nox, with a change of wind, on Monday night, from the S.W. to the northward of N.W. produced an ex traordinary high tide on Tuesday afternoon, on the northern coast of Kent: the waves beat with impe tuous fury against the cliffs, and whatever was op posed to them; and, where nature permitted expan sion, the surf united itself with the " margent of the land, and in low situations overflowed the banks.

CORONERS* Counts.—" Much has been said of certain opinions expressed, by the Court of King's Bench, in Hilary Term, 1817, on a case in which ourselves were concerned. It will be recollected that we published the evidence adduced at the Inquest on the body of poor Row Les, wko was killed by the rash and foolish employment of the Military in Brighton on the evening of the sth of November in the above year. At the same time, we also made such com ments as we thought the affair deserved. For the publication of this evidence, and for these comments, the accused parties (instigated, we believe, by that profound and honest Lawyer, Mr. Serjeant RUNNING.. TON) moved the Court of King's Bench against us, and obtained a Rule Nisi. On the defendants' application for this rule to be made absolute, we shewed cause against it, and succesffilly—for though the Court granted the rule, yet Lord ELLENBOROUGH, seeing the untenableness of the ground of our opponents, and anticipating the fate which would befal the question, were it referred to a Jury, advised the applicants to stop where they were ; and, from that day to this, we have not heard a word more about the matter.— A writer in The COU7ier of the 21st ultimo, however, positively asserts,:that a Criminal Information was filed against us ! And our case is quoted, by thii blunderer, as proving the illegality of publishing, in a Newspaper, the evidence adduced on a Coroner's Inquest !—Whereas, the real decision, (which was the RECOMMENDATION of the then Chief-Justice,) was in our favour, and, of course, in favour of the publica tion of evidence given before a Coroner, and even of comments on the subject -matter, when that evidence (as it was in our case) is fairly reported, and the com ments are temperate and impartial."—Brighton NORIVICII, OCTOBER 8. Such is the demand for our manufactures, that there is a good prospect of the numerous population at present employed, being supplied with work through the winter. Such large orders have, indeed, lately been received in Norwich for bombazines of all co lours, that hands begin to be wanted to execute then within the limited time. The Committee at Norwich for carrying into ef- I feet the Resolutions passed at the late Common Hall in that City, have publicly announced that upwards of sixteen hundred persons have subscribed towards the relief and distress of the sufferers at Manchester and that among the subscribers there are several per sons whose names were put to what is called . the Loyal Declaration, " without their authority"!! The High Sheriff of Cheshire has, in consequence of a Requisition signed by eighteen Gentlemen of re spectability, appointed a County Meeting to be held at Northwich on Friday, the I sth October, " to take into consideration the best mode of raising an addi tional armed force for preserving the peace of the County." The Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, Sheriff, and Common Council, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, have transmitted to Lord SIDMOUTH, by whom the same has been presented to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REoEtir, a Loyal Address, similar in its topics to the Declaration of the Merchants and Bankers of Lon don—dwelling with much emphasis on the mischiefs done to society by the circulation of blasphemous and seditious publications. Them is no mention made in the Address of the late transactions at Manchester. There has also been a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Dudley, convened by the Mayor, to express their detestation of Riotous Meetings and the publication of blasphemous and seditious writings, at which a similar Address was voted. MANCHESTER Suastatrrtete.—The following is the letter with which the Duke of HAMILTON accom panied his contribution to the above fund : " TO TILE COMMITTEE !OR THE MANCHFSTER GiNfttanos—l beg leave to offer yon, in aid of those who have sneered at Manchester, the sum of £5O. " Although / do not go so far as to advocate the cause of An neal Parliaments and Universal Suffrage, yet I am a firm friend to Reform, and a strenuous supporter of those Constitutional Rights (end long may they bi preserved) by which Englishmen are entitled by law to meet together, consider their grievances, and Petition for relief when injured. " It would appear, that In the exercise of this their birth right, his Majesty's subjects have been interrupted in a mode, and with a precipitation and violence, that awakens the most alarming reflections in all thche who are attached to the Consti tution of the country, or feel for the lives and liberties of their fellow-countrymen. In the Courts of Law and Houses of Par liament it is, that the rights of the subject must and will be as serted, and justice done to the aggrieved. It is humanity that offers this trifling tribute, for the relief of those maimed and mutilated sufferers, whose distressed situation appears to call far sympathy and support.—•d have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your most obedient humble servant, " HAMILTON AND BRANDON. " Hamilton Palace, Sept. 30, 1819." On the termination of the Assites at, Glasgow, Lord PITMILLY, in addressing the Court, made the following observations:—He would not, at present, say any thing of the late proceedings that took place in this and a neighbouring town, but he conceived it would be difficult to speak in suitable terms of the humanity displayed by the Magistrates and Gentle men of Glasgow and neighbourhood, in procuring work for the labouring part of the community, when they applied for relief. So long as their complaints were unmixed with politics, and so long 1113 they ori ginated in real wants, they ought to be relieved, and would be relieved. They were members of the same family, and were therefore entitled to the kindness of the upper ranks. But when they enlisted themselves under the banners of the seditious and the irreligious, they forfeited the kind offices of their patrons. He trusted that the stream of disaffection was very in considerable in this place; and that the spirit of the people was loyal and good. If it should however prove otherwise, the Magistrates knew their duty, and had energy enough to discharge it. He then went on to say, that it was particularly the duty of the Magistrates to suppress those impious and seditious publications that were circulated through the country, blasting every affection connected with our moral and religious nature. He said that the evil spirits were few in number, for the body of the People were loyal and right-hearted, and he averred the Au thorities that, in the execution of their duty, they would not only have the countenance of the good and loyal, but they would have the cordial support of the Executive. In the course of his address, which was a very able one, Lord PITMILLY gave the Local Authorities great praise for the Proclamation they had issued after the late riot. To the instances formerly related of attempts to mislead the weavers, the'following may be joined.-- Saturday, a person applied to an Innkeeper, in Pol -1 lolcshaws, for a room, as he said, for the Orator BRAY. SHAW, from Leeds, to lecture in. He said that the Orator had been in Glasgow for ten days forniing Union Societies. The Articles of these Societies he described as only three That the weavers should not light any this winter. '2. That they should not pay any of their debts to shopkeepers. S. That they should rather burn any property they have than allow it to be taken from them, in consequence of a pteeess atlaw.—Such is this person's account of the Union Societies. He added, that the populace in Calton and Bridgeton had begun to go about armed, to be ready for the Constables. When the Innkeeper men tioned what had been done for the Poor in Pollokshaws. by Sir JOHN MAXWELL and his son, the miscreant said " it is all nonsense," and decainped. The Radical trade certainly flourishes well in this neighbourhood ; for the Reformers, not content with the large house they had taken in Brig -gate, have en gaged another at Woodhouse-hill, which they have fitted up with forms, tables, &e. and we are informed that at this place they hold daily and nightly meet ings, particularly on the Sabbath-day, at which not only adults, but youth of both sexes, attend in . great numbers, for the purpose of receiving instruction in the doctrines of Radical Reform and Dei,sat. The congregations, on Sundays, we are.told, arc extremely numerous, and edify each other by reading and com menting on choice passages from the seditious and blasphemous works of CARLILR, WOOLER, CORBETT, &c.—Leeds Independent. Thursday, Sailed from Dover, for Calais, his -Ma jesty's Packet, Captain HAMILTON, with the Earl of %ut rwoerii, and her Grace the Duchess of DORSET.

" I see in what abhorrence you hold she fellow, I place him in your hands, in the hope that you trounce him well." At this moment a person tered and addressed the Clerk by a name very . rent from that of Cox, a circumstance at which CHARLES expressed much surprise. The Clerk plained this, by saying, that he was Mr. Cos't senger. a Oh, then, you will be vod enough give me your written acknowledgmeat that you!• received from me Pain's Age of Reason,' and other books in favour of the great principles of form." The Clerk was too Rule master of h'm to refuse what is likely to throw him into some cuhy. He took a pen at the same moment tliat CH4BLes put his hand in his own pocket—an aut.o.l which was performed with the most awful solerfr nity. The Clerk expected to see some despe - ic instrument.
