In less than half an hour after the business closed; . there was no more appearance of bustle than on the most common St. Monday of all the year. *Ths'fialie we another practical proof before us of therAllicrof those alarms which certain men 'feel, or pretend, to feel, as often as any Public Meeting ofaho;People is ar.nouaced. But what must have been the seas le had such a corps as the Manchester Yeomant3l.kon let loose on the multitude who were assembled on .this occasion? Our blood chills in our veins an the very idea. The avowed object of the Meeting was to express a decided opinion on the conduct of the Alegistracy and Yeomanry of Manchester, in their recent attack upon an unarmed and peaceable multitude; and we could have wished, had it been possible, that every thing respecting the question of Reform had been entirely avoided on this occasion. It will be seen, however, from the detailed particulars given in our preceding columns, that both in the Resti.utions, and in the Address to the PRINCE REGENT, the two questions have been blended. The Address, how ever, is moderate and respectful. The voice of the People on the scenes that passed at Manchester, will, ere long, be expressed from one end of the Kingdom to the other, in Public Meet ings. We beg therefore and intrea:, if our voice inay be heard, that these transactions may be mixed up with nothing else. The firbt grand question at the present moment thoulil be the right of the People to receive the protection of the Civil Authorities, when lawfully assembled, to discuss lawful subjects. Those who oppose this are not merely the enemies of Reform in every shape—they are the most deadly enemies of our Constitution and Liberties, and are practically seeking a Revolution. The Country has too much at stake to suffer such principles to prevail ;1 or to permit, without their most strenuous reproba tion, a recurrence of such horrors as have filled many houses in Lancashire with weeping and woe. We have to announce that, besides the Meetings that have already taken place, others are announced, or in preparation for Middlesex, Portsmouth, Bristol, and Paisley, besides the one demanded for the City by a Requisition signed by 43 Members of the Com mon Council. The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this mottling. The Jeurnat des Debatt has favoured us with the following answer to a query which we put to it re specting its account of the late transactions at Man chester. " The STAR journal liberal of London, aski of the Journal des Dela., where it found the news that the Magistrates of Manchester had read with a loud voice the Rint Act before making the multitude disperse? We have the honour to reply, that this news was textually translated from the Courier and the Manchester Chronicle. Scarcely any but English and French Jacobins affect to insinuate a doubt of a a fact so simple." The Journal des Debats has not stated truly the question we put to it. We asked where it get the news that " the Magistrates advanced (we are now translating the Journal des Debats textually) and read with a loud voice the Act against seditious as ' dies (Riot Act), and after having informed the itude that the assembly was illegal, ordered y one to withdraw ;' that nobody obeyed, and the multitude spewed various marks of contempt the Magistrates ?" The Courier and Manchester Chronicle did say that Riot Act was read, but when, or where, or how, have never yet been pleased to inform the id. They have never said it was read with a pud voice they have never said, " the mu fti de" was informed that the assembly was illegal r have never said, that " every one teas ordered lithdrato" before the tragical assault commenced, key have been adventurous enough, we all know, in \r narratives ; but these were things they durst -cely venture to assert.—No, it was reserved to the trbial fidelity of a French raconteur to insinuate Lags to be true, which all the world knows to lse. The Monlieur contains two Ordtnances, conferring Order of the Legion of Honour on the Viscount AMA!, tile son, on account of _the acientific ser :es of his celebrated father ; and on the sculptors no and DUPATY., whoope works in sculpture do honour to the age, and contribute to maintain the high reputation which Trance has acquired' in the Pipe Arts." A letter from Spain states, that the French Admi• tal JOLtatt joined Admiral FRIMBIANTLE, at Mahon, on the 48th ult:iti order to proceed together to the Barbary St:ttes, for the purpose of declaring to them, that they must renounce their system 9f piracy, under the penalty of being exposed to all the consequences of an armed European league. This measure, the result of arrangements made last year at Aix4a-Gba pelle, will not fail to have a good effect. • Accounts from Irun allude to the force under MELCUOR, on the banks of the Guadiana, and state that an action bad taken place between a part of this force and a detachment of dragoons from the garri son of Badajos ; the result of which was, that some of the former, after a stelut resistance, were taken prisoners, and conveyed to that fortress. Five per Cents. Monday, 72 fr:`ls c. This morning we received Letters from the Cape of Good Hope of 26th May ; with inclosures to a late date from Ceylon, where tranquillity was in so great a measure restored, that almost all the troops which had been sent there from India had returned. From .these letters we select the following interesting para. -graphs; also some Military and Nayal finalise :ace, which will be found under their proper heads. r The Naval store-ship Dick, Captain WILLIast HARRISON, arrived at the. Cape of Good Hope, from Cork, the middle of May, and was to proceed imme diately to the Island of Ceylon. The Free Traders, Langton, and Mainers, were at the Cape at the same time: these ships have on board Detachments of the 45th Regiment, to be stationed at the above Island. The DAUNTLESS man of war, Hon. Captain GoR- ' DON, was at the . Cape of Good Hope the middle of May, having on board Major-General Sir EDWARD BARNES and suite, for Ceylon. Lieutenant-Colonel WRIGHT, of the Royal Engineers. was likewise at that place, on his way to assume the command of the Royal Engineer Department at that Colony. It is stated that Lieutenant General Sir Rostier BROWNRIGO, at present Governor of Ceylon, will re turn to England as soon as Major General Sir WARD BARNES; arrives at the Island. It is also reported at the Cape of Good Hope, that Lord DALHOUSIE, at present Governor of Nova Sco tia, is to succeed Lord CHARLES SOMERSET at the former Colony. The Prince Frederick, Dutch ship of war, of 80 guns, is now at Symon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, with General ANTINES on board, from Batavia, and a valuable cargo of spices from that Island: she proceeds shortly to Holland. THE ARMY. Part of the 20th Regiment, in the ship Aibigia; Captain LYNN, arrived at St. Helena, in April, &Oaf Ireland. The 19th Regiment, now at the Island of Cryinn, is, it is said, to return immediately to England, on the arrival of the 45th Regiment. The 56th Regiment is now quartered in the Isle of France. The 19th, 73d, and 83d Regiments are now quar tered in the Island of Ceylon. The 73d is reported to be on the point of proceeding to the Continent of India. The Ist and 2d Ceylon Regiments are at present in Ceylon ; where, by the last accounts. tran quillity was considered as so completely restored, that all the troops which had been sent there from India had returned, with the exception of part of the 59th European Regiment. The s2d Regiment, in four transports, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope the beginning of May, on their way to the Isle of France, for which place they sailed from Symon's Bay about the 18th of May. The 21st Dragoons, now in India, are to be shortly. disbanded. The 38th and 72d Regiments, are at present sta tioned at the Cape of Good Hope, under the com mand of Colonels Mites and Moincrotr. Five Com panies of the 72d Regiment are at present in the in- 1 tenor, where the 54th Regiment, momentarily ex- 1 petted from England, will likewise proceed, on its arrival. Two Companies of the 38th Regiment were proceeding to Algoa Bay, to join the division of the Army quartered on the frontiers, where the Cares, or native inhabitants, have lately attacked the post of Graham's Town—three Companies embark in the Golden Grove transport, from Symon's Bay. Colonel MATHEWS has signified his intention of withdrawing from the contest for the RepresentatiO9 of Hereford. It is therefore probable 1%.. Scunniii r + moos will be elected without opposition. NORWlCH.—Tuesday last, the election for _ _ took place. A Poll was demanded, the milli df which was as follows :—For Mr. E. TAYLOR, WI; for Mr. T. S. DAY, 550. ST. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—The LORD MAYOR, accostpanied by the Sheriffs and City officers, went as early as a quarter before ten o'clock this morning, and opened this scene of merriment in the usuZ manner by Proclamation. The hour at which the Fair used formerly to be opened was twelve o'clock, and from this circumstance, very few persons were , collected to greet his Lordship. A rabble followed him from the City, calling out, 13 Make haste—Hunt is at your heels r The shows, stalls, /cc. are arranged , in a more orderly and convenient manner than we recollect to have ever before seen them. Extract of a private letter from Oxford, dated Aug. SI :—" Two persons were yesterday _morning apprehended by virtue of warrants granted by the Rev. the Vice-Chancellor. They are a fathe r and his son. The charge exhibited against them was for selling Sherwin s Weekly Politsed Register of the , 21st inst. and it being fully made out against them, the father was admitted to hail, himself in 0100, and two sureties in C5O each, and the son was com mitted to the Castle, for want of bail, till the next Assizes." . , I-, INTENDED MEETING AT PORTSMOUTH. TO TUE EDITOR OF THE STAR. • " Panamint, September S.• At a Meeting of Friends to Liberty and Radical Reform, held at the Black Horse Inn, St. Mary-street, yesterday evening, BNNJAMIN Ma 'num. , '" Esq. in the Chair, it was proposed by Mr. WILLIAM[ PARNELL, and seconded by Mr. JAMES FORTIN : " That a Reqpishioa be presented to the Mayor and Mogi,- trate,, to convene a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of the I I Island (Portsea), to take into consideration the bite violent pro ceedings at Manchester, and to adopt such means as may tend to obtain a Reform In the Commons House of Parliament." The Resolution being read, was unanimously car ried, after some remarks in favour of the measure, by Mr. JOHN WICO, Mr. RICHARD Guns, and Se veral other Gentlemen, known to be zealous in the cause of Reform. A Committee was then appointed, with Mr. JAMES loans as Secretary, to draw up the Requisition ; which being done, was immediately signed by the persons present, and subsequently y others, to the number of 273 persons.

A brig, under Portuguese colours, is now on shore at Table Bay under very extraordinary circum stances. She arrived there from the East Indies with a valuable cargo of teas, under a Portuguese Cap tain only, and without any papers whatever on boars, though it is known that she was lately at Batavia, with a Supercargo and a Mate, the former an Eng lishman, of the name of MACFARLANE, and the latter an American, neither of whom have been since heard of, and it is supposed have been murdered at sea by the Portuguese crew, who afterwards ran the ship on shore, intentiooally. It is said her cargo and rigging have been all saved and safety landed, and seized by the Custom House, at Cape Town ; and although several examinations have taken place of the Portuguese crew, nothing can be made out as to whom the vessel and cargo belonged, or what has become of the Supercargo and Mate.—. She vim con. I lectured to be English property.
