The late unpleasant events that have taken place here and in the neigh . - bourhood, are too notorious to require arty particular notice in my present communication. You wish to know how matters now are, and what is likely to be the result of all these unpleasant contentions between the employers and the employed• I am not competent to answer your last inquiry: but As to the first, I am sorry to say, we are still in a most unpleasant state. Our situation may be truly ccmpared to that of a weak army, in the front of a powerful enemy's encampment. We are under the necessity of continually bivouacking on our arms, and are in constant dread of another explosion; which, whenever it does occur, will not be so easily extin , guished as those we have so recently witnessed. a Every one commiserates the situation of the poor Weavers : their haggard and woe-begone counte nances too forcibly depict the privations they labour under; and, to add to their sufferings on the ap proaCh of winter, provisions are rapidly advancing in price, from what cause I cannot pretend to sa y uz leAs it be the artifices of a set of monopolists, who se* every opportunity to enhance the necessaries of life to the consumer: • " Some of the Masters are willing to give in to the advance the workmen require, hut they are kept ,from carrying their good intentions into effect, by the great body of the more opulent Manufacturers, to whose overweening influence they are compelled to sacrifice their own more liberal feelings. I am sorry to say, it is chiefly the great Manufacturers, who have realized princely fortunes, that oppose the required advance: they complain of the dangerous' precedent it would establish, were they to yield to the demands of their men; and that there is no say ' ing where these demands would stop, if once acce ded to. They likewise say, that the advance the men demand would compel them to raise the price of their goods so high, as to completely drive them out of the foreign market, where they must sell low, in or der to secure a trade. • All this may appear very fea sible, but it is"not true. The additional price deman ded by the workmen, would not create any necessity for enhancing the articles to the consumer, so as to be considered an object at all worthy of notice and what feeling mind would grudge giving a few paltry peuce more for a garment, or an article of luxury, to enable the poor weaver and his family to procure the common comforts of life? , g They argue unsoundly, and war against their own interests, who refuse their workmen a just remu neration for their labour; and the wiseacres who•are feirful that a small ris: in price .would drive our ma nufactures put of the foreign market, are themselves doing the business more effectually, by compelling ,all o,:r best artisans to emigrate, in order to procure that reward for their ingenuity and industry, which is ungratefully withheld from them in their native country. " I do not like to indulge too much on the gloomy side of the picture ; but I am sure it does not requite 'the gift of prophecy to foretell, that if pauperism in, and emigration out of, 'this country go on with the rapid strides they have done for the last seven years, we may soon cease all solicitude about being driven out of the foreign market. Our neighbours oa the Continent, and our hrethrenacross the Atlantic, when they have possessed themselves of the stamina and roots, will have no need to apply to us fur the leaves and branches. " I have already lengthened out my letter beyond what I intended, and fear I have tired your patience, without at all satisfying you on those topics in which we all feel so much interested. We are here, as I have said in the commencement, in continual dread of another turn-out among the " weaver boys," whose numbers, within a compact circumference of little more than thirty miles, I think may be estimated at full one hundred thousand. The mind shudders at the bare contemplation of the mischief such a mass of, discontent is capable of effecting, if once driven to, desperation by the neglect of their repeated and reasonable appeals to the liberality of their employers. But I will conclude my present epistle with devoutly praying that this long-suffering and industrious body may not be goaded to . violence by neglect ; but that soinething effectual may speedily be done to allay the present terment.—Whatever may occur, you shall hear again soon, from, dear Sir, yours faithfully, " E. w-N." Wednesday afternoon a fire broke out at a village 1 called Padbury, in Buckinghamshire, at the house of JONES, tailor, which consumed that and the adjoining cottage. Friday two fine ships were launched at Greenock, they went off in grand style. One of them, called the Albion, intended for the East India trade, was launched from the building yard of Messrs. STEEL ;1 and the other, called the Christian; from the yard of Messrs. JOHN SCOTT and sons. Yesterday, about ow o'clock in the afternoon, Master Charles Smith, a youth 16 years of age, son to John Smith, Esq. of Enfield, took a ride out on a pony in the forenoon ; on his return home, by some accident he was thrown from his horse, and his foot sticking in the stirrup, he was dragged, his head dashing against the stones, upwards of half a mile. When the horse was stopped the youth was dead, his skull being dashed to pieces and dreadfully mangled. ivAr.ii • . LIVERPOOL, OCTOBER 7.

She is a long low brig, about 350 tons, nine ports on each side, and a long gun in midship ; her larboard side painted red, with two white mouldings, and her starboard side a broad yellow streak.

Preparations for fitting out the expedition against South America are carried on as quickly as the pe nury of the Treasury permits. The expedition, it is said, will be composed of four line-of-battle ships, six frigates, and several light vessels; the land forces will amount to 18,000, commanded by Gen. Freire, instead of the Count of L'Abisbal, who has been dismissed ; and his seconds in command will be the Generals Sarsfield and Cruz Miirgeon. The dismissed Ministers set off for their destina tions on the night - of the 14th—M. Pizarro, for Va lencia; M. Garay, for La Almunia (Arragon); and M. Vazquez Figueroa, for Santiago (Gallicia). The cause of their disgrace is yet a matter of great spe culation; hut people well informed ascribe it to the influence of the King's Confessor, M. Bencomo, the Patriarch of the Indies, and the Pope's Nuncio.— These individuals, it is supposed, have come to the assistance of Messrs. Eguia and Lozano de Torres, the former Minister at IVar, and the latter at the head of the Department of Justice. The aim of the measure, although studiously concealed, is believed to be to put a check to the financial plans of M. Ga ray in the part which has relation to the Clergy. No thing demonstrates it more than the attempt made at Torija (a village near Guadalaxara), by a crowd in stigated by some priests, against the person of M. Garay, who was obliged to fly in the middle of the night, in order to prevent any mischief. The new Minister of Finance endeavours to inculcate that his intention is to carry into execution the plans of his predecessor, and for that purpose he will publish very soon, a circular addressed to the intendants and tax-gatherers. • Money becomes every day more scarce, and the public funds feel very much the effects of this scar city. The Vales Communes suffer a loss of 79 to 80 per cent.—the Non-consolidated lose more than 84 per cent. and the Consolidated proportionally. The National Debt, without interest, is only worth 4 per cent. and, notwithstanding, buyers are not to be found at the Exchange. In several provinces the only coin in circulation is copper and a little gold ; silver in general is withdrawn from circulation. The crops have not been as abundant as was ex pected. The price of grain is, nevertheless, kept down, and it is ascribed to the stores in existence of the former years. Every thing is in a state of stag nation but the manufactories in Catalonia, which have improved a good deal. The price of wool has lessened in consequence of the want of demand. I was informed, as I was going to finish this let ter, that negotiations are on foot betsseen this Cabi net and those of St. James's and St. Petersburgh, for the purpose of getting transports to convey the troops of the expedition to South America.
