The distress 64 misery which has been for so many years progressively actu al:l4lg has at leligth become insupportable—it is do longer par- I* felt, nor firm ed to out portion of the Empire the cont. setcial, the manufac orlon and the agricultural interests, are y sinking under its rresistilile pressure, and it has become table to Ead employment fur a large mass of the popula • much less to bear up against our present enormous burdens. 6 We beg to impreis upon our Royal Highness, that our pr;. I ggciesplicated evils have not arisen irons a mere tratistion front era to per, nor from arty sudden or accidental causes, neither sestuyberesnoved by saty partial or temporary itspedi:nts. " Our grievances are the natural effect of rash and ruinous van, iinjestly commenced. and pertinaciously persists I its, when nentitralobjfct was to be obtained—of immense subsidies to FortirPowers to defend their own territories, or to commit twasions on those of their neighbours—of a delusive paper tirtoty—of an unconstitutional and unprece.lented military fixte in time of peace—ot the unexampled and increasing magni rsieuf t he Civil List—of the enormous sums paid fur unmerited patios. and sinezures, and of a long course of the must lavish 01 improvident expenditure of the public money throu,;Siout evry branch of the Goverment, all arising from the corrupt attliCadequate state of the representation of the People in Pat-ha le; witereby all constitutional contioul over the• servants of Crown has been lost, acid Pa:Laments have become subset.. vim to the will of Minist-rs. • • We cannot forbear expressing our grief and disappointment, tit, notwithstanding your Royal Highness's gracious recommen ' of economy at the opening of the last 5C5910119 of Farha t, your Ministers shou ld have been found opposing ev e ry ition for levelling the tuitional expenditure, and that they Id have been able to obtain ma k); nits to support and gauc ho ihrir conduct, in defiance of your Royal Highness's return lardatior. and the delared sense of the nation, affording another him:holy proif of the corrupt state of the representation, in Anus to those facts so often stated, and offered to be proved *ltchy id the House of Commons, in a Petit+on presented in I)3by the Honourable Charles (now Lord) Grey, whereby it Vetted that the great body of the People were r xcluded irom the election ot Members, and that the mojority of that ituanble House were returned by the proprietors of rotten *nos the influence of the Treasury, and a few powerful ' We can, Sir, no longer support, out of our dilapidated re cc, an overwhelming load of taxation; and we humbly sub- fetoyour Royal H . ghness, that nothing but a retormation of tille abuses and restoring to the people their just and constitu tail right in the Election of Members of Parliament, can af.

We :egret to state that tbC town of Du ndee, iu Scotland, was,last week th e scene of much confusion and uProar. The following statement on the subject we copy from an Edinburgh Paper: a Wednesday night, about eight o'clock, in conse quence . of considerable shipments of grain, and a sudden rise in the price of meal, a mob, to the num ber of about 2000 persons, assembled in the streets of Dundee, and proceeded in a riotous manner, to attack every house which contained articles of food. —Having plundered upwards of one hundred shops of various descriptions, they proceeded to the house of Mr. LINDSAY, an extensive corn dealer, and after stripping it of every thing valua ble, set it on It appears, however, that this daring and outrageous act was not committed with out some degree of remorse, as the house was twice, set on fire, and as often extinguished by their own hands. For a considerable rime the streets presented nothing but a lawless and disorderly mob of people running ill all directions, with cheeses, sugar, hams, Stc. Of course, the grocers mast have suffered con siderably." FURTHER PARTICULARS. About . eight in the evening some idle lads, women and children began to burn the effigy of a meal-seller on Hawk-hill, accused of raising the price. Incteas ing in fury and numbers, they proceeded to attack some homer, breaking the windows of all the meal men as they passed. At the commencement the mob might easily have been dispersed, but they increa.ed considerably in numbers, and proceeded to break open shops, to carry off money, accounts, books, and provisions. _ _ . In sonic houses they broke and destroyed the fur niture, stole all the clothes and plate: some time after this, the LORD PROVOsT •. : got SOME of the inhabitants to jain bim, in order to repress the tumult ; but their WAS a great backwardness on the part of the Con stables, and nothing effectual was done for some time. Between twelve and one o'clock at. night, however, Captain BLAIR and Mr. RnDERTS succeeded in per suading the people to go home, on a pledge that the respectable inhabitants would concert a plan to all , ird relief to the sufferers, and thus ended the riot for the night. The houses attacked, and less or more injure.: or plundered, were about ten in number, Meal:Ile:1: grocers, and other dealers in the necessaries of life, were the chief sufferers. We have seen with surprise an account inserted in I some - of the papers, under the alarming title of RioTs IN READING. We doubted the tact; and, on inquiry. we find that we were nut mistaken. What has beer swelled into a conclusion th.:t the late transaclioas in the Metropolis were going to be imitated in the coun .try, is :imply this :—Tlree ee four yeniy.r, retired late at night after a long convtv:al meetivg; having made more copious libations to 13.ic:lius than usual, they were naturally a little noisy iii do streets; and the watchman, as nliurally, interposed ins an ' thority. A scuffl,2 ensued, in which tha latter having received a reinfoi cement from peace-oilicers, conveyed the former to a place of secut ity. The Chief Msgi straw, having ascertained who they wire, and se ceived their engagement to appear whenever called upon to answer any complaint, ordered them to be discharged. This Gentleman acted, we believe, as [ any other prudent and sagacious Magistrate would I have acted on such an occasion. This affair is likely to be accommodated to the satisfaction of all parties. We think ourselves justified in adding, that no place is more independent, and therefore more free from external agitation, more orderly, and more loyal, than the Town of Reading. _ This morning William Anderson, whose trial was postponed until this day, for the wilful murder of JOHN LEVY, in the parish of Clerkenwell, commenced at ten o'clock before a crowded Court, and at the time our Paper went to press it was not finished. Mitts, Dec. ..--Very. prime Wheat and Barley advanced about s. per quarter in yesterday's market. Wheat of inferior quality was very heavy at reduced prices. Fine old Flour, as well as rew, of a good quality, was on demand. There was also a briskdemand fur Oats, both for distillation and export, at an ad vance of fruin 6d. to is. per barrel •I be tall, bowever,in London was not known until the market was closed. EXTRAORDINARY PROPERTY OF THE Oxtom.-;-The L I magnetic power of a compass needle will be entirely destroyed or changed by being touched with the I juice of an onion. This fact may seem trifling ; but we regard it as one of the first importance; and in. vestigated, may lead to consequences equally asto nishing as the discovery of the magnet itself. A Gentleman of St. Germain's, Cornwall, a great naturalist, has in his possession some white mice, ant; having been curious enough to mix their breed with those of our common domestic mice, he can produce them of the most varied colours, resembling in some measure the richness of the Leopard. Be keeps them in cages similar to those in which birds are bred, and generally has a brood once a month. S rATEMENT OF THE ODDS ON THE DERBY AND OAKS STAKES, 1817—Dm 9.

Mr. Nc yak's favourite horse, Sir Joshua, was found dead in the stable on Sunday morning last ; he bad been s little amiss, but was not considered in the least danger when left the prece ding evening ; luckily he had no engage:dent, whatever.

THE LATE RIOTS. : • . , FURTHER PARTICULAR S . The LORD MaTote has received left ors from the Miyors of SiOwich and Lynn, to yr .orn he had written, as well as to Thorn gOcl Beverley in lir , rk shire, Kirby, near Briton, Lincolnshire, and Sheer ness f at each of these places *atson hls ; at Lynn Mrs. Watsco has been with her children .ieirne months. Young Watson was at sch ,o 1 at Lynn eight years'; it is said be escaped from 'he cu4rody of two officers some months since, and u.ed a dir.k he is a violent young man. A person was seen on horseback on Monday very active, he looked like a country person, connected at the Corn Mar ket. The two Gentlemen who put a sailor in custody of a constable at the beck of the Exchange, on Monday. are requested to attend at the Manson House to morrow. The person who carried the 'flag was pnt in Ow custody of a wetl dressed man in a blue coit on the Royal Exchange. There is stilt no trace of young Wxtscn ; he k now thought to be concealed in London. Independent of the numerous officeri been dispatched to various parts of the kilst,7'.orn. a very strict sc4rch was ye.terday evening !nick. in St. George's-fields, where it was asserted Watson had been seen. _ The furthzi exAmir.ation, of the elJer Vat•;->n, which was to have taken place this day, ►t the ntlice of the Secittary of State, is postponed till tomorrow. Two papers, it is now known, were found upon him of the snosl important nature; and it is said that the pl m adopted by the rir.ters, such as it w is, had been fully decided upon, and was to !Me been attempted in the middle of the day. This time er is considered j the most fatourable to the view of the rioters, inas much as the meeting at Spafields was expected to l imy,: drawn r'tntbers 01 indivieuals from their homes, and the gon•maker's shPps, &c. it was anticipattd, would bt unprotected. Letters. it is a 1...) void, were sent to the leiona i 9 the stre7al prisons duct:Om:lt the metropolis, rtquirieg their aid s when an attempt ustruld made for their liberty cn blonds) . - These Addresses, F;o:kever. sere intercepted, and all corn miloicati,ns stopped with the prisoners in the dif ten.nt gaols for two days. Since Monday last, de tachments of the East London Militia have been sta tioned in Newgate, Compter, and other prisons. Hooper who had given such information as to cause the apprehension of Preston, expresses mach contri tion tor the part he had taken in the d.svacetill tratisactions which have taken place, and has offered to disclose all he knows of the plot in which he bad been eng:lged. A publican, at whose house some of tote patty met, was examined before the Lnnn MAYuli, and states that Preston had previous to Ile, meeting at Spa•fiehis, harangued a Committee of which he was Chairman, for two hours, entreating them not cnly to attend on Monday themselves, but io bring their friends. His language towards the close of his speech, was so violent a nature, that the people of the house were thrown into the utmost alarm. The identity of Cashman (the sailor) as bring the person who assisted youi.g Watson in plundering the shop of Mr. Beckwith of arm is estab,ished beyond all doubt. ; John Roberts, the buy of Mr. Beckwith, wars intslodueted tre the. Gittspar;sereet Compeer on Saturday last, by orders of lilt LORD MAVGR, where the prisoner; being indiscriminately shewn him, he in. gaudy recognised kin*, bydeclaring " that is the man !" Yesterday. John Antonio, a foreign seatnan, was examined before the Loan MAYOR, charged with being most actively engaged in the riots on Monday ; ne had been observed by numerous individuals, from ais being a prison of most remarkable appearance. John Bionn,alie officer, had received information of the prisoner's having offered for sale a pair of valua ble pistols, to get rid of which he was so anxious as to offer the one for six, the other for two shillings ! The pistols were loaded, when first seen with the pi isoner, who is still in custody. Another man of the name of Bracer is also in the Compter, having been found in Bishopsgate-street with a loaded pistol, for which he has not yet given a proper account. The Loan MAYOR yesterday, as well as Sunday, renewed his visits to the prisons, and entered into long inquiries with the rioters, in the hope of ascertaining the extent of their projects, and if possible discovering the haunts of young Watsan. lits Lordship's efforts Are et the most extraordinary nature, so much so, that he has not only been absent from his own table at his hitherto accustomed hour for several days, but he likewise perseveres in his labours by night. Preston, since his apprehension, has asserted that his party had assurances from all parts of the country crt the intended co-operation of tke people, and that one place alone had proffered the assistance of ‘2o,olki persons. Preston constantly exclaims, "twits I that Drought Hunt to the field! but that wretched young dog spoiled all !" Preston, it may be recollected, as Secretary to the Spa-fields Committee, had written to Mr. Hunt, entreating his assistance, as an Orator calculated to address the people. Tne letter to which we yesterday alluded, received 14 Mr. Beckett, the Under . Secretary of State, and transmitted by that Utentlernan to the LORD MAYOR, is of the most diabolical nature. It threitent those who have given, or may yet giVe evidence against the rioters, with certain destruction. Their families also, or relatives, are to become the objects of amp. sinatkn. The LORD MAYOR was first of opinion that it would be more prudent to conceal than make known the fact, lest witnesses might be deterred from aiding the ends of justice. It is now, however, deemed to be the idle expedient of one of the few conspirators, and is consequently treated with con tempt. The answer to our inquiry respecting Mr. Platt yesterday was, that he was much better, being free from fever, and the wound discharging. The ball is' not extracted. On Sunday he had much fever, and great fears were entertained. Prom an examination which took place yesterday at Bow-street, it appears the dirk with which the' elder Watson wounded one .of the men in his thigh,,, at Highgate, on the night of yesterday se'nnighti who was securing him while the horse patrole went off in pursuit of Watson's companions, on horseback towards.Finchley, Watson says he has had in his pos session for some time, but that is not believed, as the, blade is very bright, and the stick in which it was' fixed was newly varnished. He had but six shillings • . 1.....,. itpd,.threepence in copper upon him. . He had a bun dlewhkh. contained two shirts, one of them of . fine cotton A - 411013.4:1y flan six neckcloths, two pair of stockings. all very oIJ and ragged . ‘, He.also had a small bundle containing one, shirt. tyre pair of stock. ings, and, .s small pink silt: handkerchief; marke4 with the letters J.

Last week, three privates of the €2.7tb Regiment; belonging to a party called out on • revenue duty. were lost in the lake, near Enniskilk.i, in consequence of the boat upsetting on their passage from the Mill land to 111 w Island, where a seizure had been made. There were four men on board when the accident L.tppe!ed, but one of them, a Corporal, being an ex. pert swimmer, saved his life, but the other three were drowned.
