The accounts which we continue to receive from gl parts of the Manufacturing Districts increase ra ther than diminish both in magnitude and interests Those which we have received this morning, and which will be found at length in our other columns, are of a more unpleasant complexion than any which we have before had the painful duty to lay before the Public ; but we think and do trust that much of the evil forebodings which pervades them may be attri buted to that excess of apprehensiveness, natural to persons writing from the centre of the scene of danger, and more immediately exposed to suffer from the consequences of any commotion. . f . rrt .0% '.. • . , 1 :. ...-----"' . , . , • s . . . • 1 Pt . i . , , 1 I cs ,a ~~, 1 1 The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon The Moniteur announces the return to Paris of the celebrated CAMBACERES. Count Room DE DAMAS has been named First Gentleman of the King's Chamber, in the room of the Duke de RICHELIEU, promoted to the pest of Grand Veneur. _ _ The Journal called the Independent has paid se verely, in the person of one of its Editors, for the freedom of observation in which it indulges. On Friday morning three individuals of the King's Body Guard called at the office of the Independent and de sired to know the meaning of a certain article in serted in that Paper on the Monday preceding. After some verbal conference, three Gentlemen, who are Editors of the Paper, consented to go on the instant and give the three complainers ameeting at Potte Maillot. In the combat which ensued, M. DAVID, one of the Editors, immediately after wounding his antagonist, was shot dead on the spot by a ball which. lodged in the thorax. This fatal result put an end to the murderous conflict, and the remaining comba tants separated. M. DAvto Was a Captain on the Staff. It is true that there have been movements of troops towards the Spiani , ll frontiers, but not from the tide of France. A Madrid article, of the 28th July, states that several Detachments of the Royal and Body Guards had been dispatched towards the frontiers of France in the direction of Iron, in order to form an escort to the Saxon Princess, whom FERDINAND has chosen for his spouse, and whose arrival is daily ex pected. The Duke de I'INTANTADO is to have the honour of receiving the Princess, and conducting her to Madrid. Nothing farther has transpired respecting die plot at Cadiz. A letter from that place states, with a brevity extremely characteristic of a despotic atmos phere, that as soon as orders are received from the KIND, It is supposed the 120 Officers taken into cus tody will be shot ! FERDINAND was to return from the Waters of Sa cedon to Madrid on the 29th July. The waters, we are told, have done him much good--.-satisfactory intelligence this to his young bride. The EMPEROR tof AUSTRIA and family were ex-1 pected in Vienna on the 2d instant. They slept at Neustadt on the 29th July. It is said that his Ma jesty intends making Schoenbrunn his chief residence, and that he will only visit Vienna once a week to give public audiences. The King of BERLIN is still at Toeplitz, while his Emissaries continue as busy as ever in Conspiracy hunting. Professor JAmir has been carried to the fortress of Spandau ; and one Kturrz, who was at first employed as a Government pointer, has been arrested as being himself implicated in the plot against his employers, and conveyed from Breslau to Berlin. M. SCHLEIRMACHER, well known in Ger many as a distinguished writer and preacher, has also been arrested, with many other individuals of inferior note. It was lately said that a large aug-1 mentation was making to the Prussian Army ; but the report is expressly contradicted in a demi-official article from Berlin. The good intelligence which was so generally re ported to have been interrupted, between the Courts of Sweden and Russia, is said, in a Stockholm article, to be better established than ever. The Swedish Charge d'Affaires at St. Petersburgh has, we are told, received from M. de NESSELRODE new protestations of esteem and personal friendship on the part of ALEXANDER for CHARLES-JOHN. We also learn that it was not till the Cabinet of Stock holm ascertained the certainty that no foreign inter• ference would be attempted in the disputes betiveen Sweden and Denmark, that these were brought to the satisfactory issue which they have been. Cha r l es John had at heart above all things to preserve invio. late the independence of his Crown. and the National dignity. French 5 per Cents. Saturday, 71fr. 45c. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, AUGUST 8. " The ntunber of persons selling out of the Eng lish Funds, and placing in the French, is incredible. Upwards of two millions sterling have been drawn on the Paris Banks, for this purpose, within these three weeks. The reason is simple; the French Funds, with equal security, pay double the interest of the English ones. " The affair of the Pupils of the Law School came on the 4th inst. Two of the worst cases had been se lected for punishment, as an example; and all that could be proved against them was, that a Commis sary of Police had trodden on the toes of one of them, who said, if he did not mind what he was about he would slap his face; and that the other threw a stone at the police officers; arid even this was disproved by the evidence for the prosecution, as it was sworn to by those nir him, that he was at the time in another place. " Thus has ended this ridiculous affair, which throws such a stain on Delvincourt, as he used to call himself, or D'Elvincourt, as he now chooses to be styled. It appears from the evidence that this man is one of the Ultra-Royalists. He is the Doyen (Dean) of the Law Faculty, and constantly expresses his contempt for the Charter and the Constitutional laws, by which the liberties of Frenchmen are gua ranteed. Yet this man keeps his place ; while he who endeavours to explain, in his judicial and scholastic capacity, the excellencies and defects of the laws, is accused of troubling public order, of fomenting sedition, &c. Suspended from his functions, Iris do micile violated, his papers seized, and he, a judge himself, dragged like a criminal before a man of in• ferior judicial rank to himself, and interrogated with all the insolence of a village lawyer, while BELLA Fa) he who pursued the unfortunate Marshal NEY even beyond the grave, comments on the papers illegally seized in the most partial manner, construing even erasures totally illegible to be paragraphs too sedi tious even for the author to employ. All Paris cries out shame on their scandalous proceedings, and we understand Government intends to take up the matter and mask its disapprobation of the illegal proceed ings of its agents. This is necessary in order to tran quillize the public mind. " The least it can do is to recal M. BAVAUX ; but if it will not, impartial justice demands the suspen sion of the functions of Bellart, Delvincourt, alias D'Elvincourt and Co. M. Mars, the Counsel fur the Crown, pleaded in favour of the prisoners in a most eloquent speech ; one paragraph ought to be written' in letters of gold, and suspended in every English Court of Justice, before the eyes of the Counsel for the Crown o he said, addressing the Jury, Ills Majesty, in confiding to us our mission, has insti tuted us the men of truth and the laws. I It is the truth which it is always our duty to present to you: the public minister is only the accuser where there is matter of accusation. If the debates throw out proofs of innocence it is his duty to proclaim it.— When the proof of justification is shewe, he seeks not to envenom it, he presents it in its true colours: he only requires punishment according to the measure of the offence. Ch ! if the functions of the Public Minister were only a function of vengeance—if it Chained the truth in the mouth of the Magistrate, and humanity in his heart, who is the man uho would accept such an unjust mission ?—Who is the Sovereign who would confer it ?" A letter from Lima, of the 10th of March, states, that the port of Puyla, in Peru, has been taken by the Patriots ; and that a Patriot frigate, said to be commanded by a Frenchman, with a schooner in company, entered the port of Realm), ard took four vessels, two of which she carried off, and destroyed the others. Two of the crew who deserted this fri gate say, that she had recently captured a Spanish galleon, from San Plas bound to Manilla, having on board a million of dollars. The same frigate has been into Colema, on the coast of Mexico, and suc • ceeded in making some plunder. PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 9. His Royal llighnesq thePRINC2 REGENT has given up for this season his intended voyage to Plymouth. He is so delighted with the beautiful scenery of the Isle of Wight, Southampton river, and a view of the New Forest, that his Royal Highness means to con fine his cruize round the Jsle of Wight and Brighton. At five o'clock his Royal Highness landed at the Sally Port, attended by Lord HOWARD, Sir GEORGE GREY, Sir BYAM MARTIN, Sir E. NAGLE, and the Hon. Cap tain PAGET, all of whom dined with his Royal High ness, at Admiral Sir Groacz CAmrsr.m.'s, G.C.B. Mr. ASTLEY is said to be determined on petitioning against the result of the late Election for Wiltshire. He maintains that among the votes which have polled for Mr. BENETT, there are 240 illegal ones, composed of Trustees for various Charitable and religious In stitutions. One Meeting-house is stated to have alone produced fifty votes of this description. An Irish Poet, singing the praises of Miss O'NEILL, exclaims-- Let the gladsome responses preside in the gale, Till each hill and each valley re-echo " O'Neill!" A few days ago, a poor man in Leeds, sold his son, a fine boy between seven and eight years of age, to a chimney sweeper, for a guinea! The colliers from St. Helen's concerned in the re cent " turn-out" there, have been all found guilty at the Midsummer County Quarter Sessions for Lancas ter, and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. rHE DISTURBED DISTRICTS. MANCIIEATER. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED MONDAT, (ONE O'CLOCK), AUGUST 9. di Notwithstanding the postponement of the Meet ing that was to have been held this day, the town, and all the principal avenues leading to it, have pre sented a scene of much bustle and ferment through out the day, and many thousands have flocked into the town from the neighbouring country places, con sisting chiefly of men out of employment. The im posing appearance of the strong military force now l.ere, and the proclaimed determination of the Ma gistrates, to act with vigour on the slightest breach of the peace, has hitherto kept all tranquil ; but, as I observed on a former occasion, the snake is only scotched—not subdued;' and my information (which I have hitherto found correct), aided by personal observation, will greatly deceive me, if we have not some troublesome work ere the setting in of the ap proaching winter. It is truly frightful to listen to the groups of discontented persons assembled at the corners of the streets, particularly at New Cross, where they make use of language the most violent. May HEAVEN avert the danger that at present me naces us; and, by giving bread to the famished artisan, take away the pretext for these unlawful and seditious proceedings!" EXTRACT OF ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER, WRITTEN ON THE EVENING Qir MONDAY. " This morning HENRY HUNT, Esq. (accompanied by Sir CitanLEs WOLSELEY,) who had arrived in Stockport the preceding evening by the mail, left Stockport, followed by thousands Of its inhabitants. Their journey from Stockport to' Manchester being anticipated, the inhabitants residing along the road ' were every where impatient for their arrival, and nniformly hailed them with loud acclamations.— When they approached Manchester, the assemblage of people and the shouts of applause increased, and as they passed through the town, particularly at the Observer Office, the Exchange, and Mr. Johnson's Warehouse, the acclamations were loud and long. On the carriages quitting the Town, Mr. HUNT ad dressed the accompanying thousands, and expressed his regret that the Meeting had been put off; declar ing it to hive been perfectly constitutional, and that the nine Magistrates who had declared the Meeting to be illegal were less than tailors, the whole nine not being equal to one good rational man! He then re quested them to retire peaceably home, and to treat all those who attempted to insult them with con tempt. The carriages then drove off for Smedley Cottage, the residence of Mr. JOHNSON, where they arrived about three o'clock. " Mr. JOHNSON met Mr. HUNT and Sir CHARLES WOLSELEY near Stockport, and was immediately re cognized and loudly cheered by the people. When they came to Ardwick Green, Mr. JOHNSON changed carriages with Sir CHARLES WOLSELEY, and seated himself beside his friend, Mr. HUNT, probably to direct the movement through the town. " In the course of the afternoon a report was taken to Ashton, a town about six miles from Manchester, that the latter place was on fire, and that the troops at the former place must proceed to Manchester with all speed. The special Constables were all called up, and the military paraded the streets. Towards even ing, however, all is now quiet." ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF NIR.HUNT'S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY. Mr. HUNT made his triumphantal entry into this town on Monday. He arrived at Stockport on Sun day, in company with the Staffordshire Baronet, with whom he had been sharing the hospitalities of Wolse ley Hall. They took up their lodgings, we are in fbrmed, at the house of a Reform Publican, of the name of Morehouse, and were visited by all the wor thies of the town, together with some pilgrims, whose pious zeal led them from a greater distance. The grand entry into Manchester was fixed for Monday, at one o'clock, the hour when a great body of the in habitants retire from their labours to dinner. It was announced at the Office of the Observer, in Market street, by a Placard, in these words " H. Haas, Esq. will make his entry this day into blanches , ter, at twelve o'clock." 1 At an early hour crowds began to flock towards the streets through which the procession was to pass ; and those whose patriotic principles were more staunch, or whose curiosity was more eager, advanced to meet it on the Stockport road, as far as Ardwick-green, or even farther. Mr. Johnstone, the brush-maker, whose habitation was destined to shelter the leaders of Reform, had proceeded to their Inn in the morn ing, to welcome their arrival, and, dressed in a white hat, like HUNT, occupied a place in his gig. Sir CHARLES WOLSELEY, along with the patriotic pub lican, and another person, who was supposed to be the old Major, or Mr. PennsoN,-followed the trium phal car in a post-chaise. A great assemblage of ragged, riotous, roaring friends of the orator prece ded him, waving their hats and handkerchiefs, and shouting " HUNT for ever." As he proceeded to wards Piccadilly the crowd increased ; the people collected at the windows and on the outer stair-cases ; and many of the women (perhaps intended Members of a Female Union) waved coloured handkerchiefs er scarfs, and rent the air with their acclamations. When the procession reached Market-street (which leads down to the Exchange, growing narrower as it descends) the multitude had so much accumulated, that it literally covered the whole space as far as the eye cotild see, and appeared like a raging hemmed in by opposing banks. When arrived at the Observer Office, he took off L gave three cheers. 'I be salute was answ deafening and tremendous yell. When tin the Exchange, on the outward steps of vi standing some respectable Merchants, H stopped, and renewed the hozzas ; the Bar same time holding out his head from thi window, and leading the chorus of those a) Some of the crowd addressing the Gentle Exchange, exultingly exclaimed, " Touch you dare. We 'have now here our prod will treat you as he did the Lord Mayor HUNT did not volunteer a speech, as w , but proceeded onwards to Shade's-hill,wh i cheered with an uproarious shout Johnstoi EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, D.l " HUNT'S Meeting, which it was in stance supposed had been given up alt merely postponed till this day week. The , be called in a less irregular way, it is dently assumed that the pretended deal( take place. Sir C. WOLSELET having bee. a meeting not specifically called for th, it is concluded that the same thing miv in the same way at Manchester, withoi favour of HUNT. Yesterday morning Reformers took place near Middleton, it them to have been very numerous. It as to swell their number to ten thousand, scribe them as occupying a track of groun in extent, marching five abreast. That is a preposterous exaggeration cannot be " It appears that they were called tog foci themselves in certain military es which they still consider themsel ves to To march, wheel, and face about, was plied themselves to do cn this occasion, no arms of any sort with them. It is so here that the disaffected have long been of training themselves in thi way, that tl longer a subject of curiosity.

The Magistrates havi exerted their authority to suppress certal tory papers lately issued, those who were of hawking them about, dare openly to longer.

All I hope ' active services may not be called for. many of the leaders among the Reformers, well-known fact, that warrants are prep: many of the others, has thrown consido and indecision over their proceedings; bi determined to persevere.
