Th• Parisian.politicians still insist that the Duke of lA'oLuzurFou is going as Plenipotentiary. from England to the approaching Congress at Carlsbad. Cotfia de Ammar, Minister of State, will, it is ad ded, also attend on the part of France. M. Gittava, the celebrated political write r, has been invited, it seems, to Carlsbad by Prince :UEl7E:al.:los, in order to draw up a Declaration, in name of the Sovereigns, to the People of Germany. A disgraceful scene of outrage has recently oc curred at Wurtaburgh, in the Bavarian territory.! The inhabitants made a furious attack on the mem bers of the Jewish persuasion resident among them the military force was called out and tranquillity re stored, not, however, without the loss of lives. The unhappy Jews for the most part left the town. The mourning for the late Queen cf SPAIN expir ing on the Gth of this month, the new marriage of FERDINAND was to be officially announced on the Bth. The sailors on board the French transports hired for the conveyance of the Cadiz Expedition, have followed the example of the Spanish troops, and re fused to proceed to their destination. . French Five per Cents. Thursday, 71fr. 45c. Flanders and Dutch Mails arrived this day. The following are extracts: BRUSSELS, AUGUST 11. The brig which is to convey General Macirone and his Officers to South America, is arrived in the Schelde. Other vessels are expected to take on board troops forming the skeletons of new corps or regi ments; also a quantity of muskets, clothing, and all kinds of warlike stores. It is'said that Engli 11 mer chants have advanced the necessary sums for the purchase - of those articles. It is supposed that tl.e late events at Cadiz, the apparent differences between the Cabinet of Madrid and the United States, with respect to the ratification of the Treaty concerning the Floridas, do not a little promote the efforts of the Agents of the Insurgents to obtain men and credit. Many of the French exiles have been for some time past in daily expectation of receiving permis sion to return to France: they reckoned upon it with the more confidence, as several persons of high rank, who have much influence on. the French Govern ment, have exerted themselves in their favour. Boston Papers to the 19th ultimo, New York to the 21st ultimo, and Halifax to the Ist instant, reached us this day. The New York Commercial Advertiser contains the following account of a sanguinary battle fought between the Spanish troops and the Patriots, oft the 12th of June : NEW YORK, JULY 21. BLOODY BATTLILam•A letter from Bt. Thomas's, of the 3d instant, to a Gentleman in Philadelphia, says, 6 I hasten to apprise you that we have this day re ceived information from Aurturgna, of an action fought on the 12th ultimo, at Cunana, by a division of the Spanish army under the command of General Arana, and a division of the Patriots, led by Munro, in which the Royalists were totally defeated, with a loss of 1000 to 1100 men, all their camp equipage, documents. The Patriots, I regret to add, suffered severely, having lost 400 men." PHILADELPHIA, JULY- 10. EXPEDITION TO THE Tzz.s.x..—The intelligence of an expedition having been fitted out in the Mississippi, by some of our citizens, for the invasion of the pro vince of Tezaz, is confirmed in the Natches Paper of the 26th ultimo. The plan was devised in that city, and an unsuccessful attempt was made. We have received accounts from General Mina, and instead of his having been beheaded, and his army disbanded, he has been very successful. I have just conversed with a Gentleman who 'has brought this information : he belonged to the detachment commanded by Colonel Aury, and was taken prisoner when that detachment met with its misfortune. ANOTHER BLOW ON THE SPANIARDS. NATCHITOCHES, JUNE 7. Some troops, to the number of 100, which arrived here yesterday, will cross the Sabine to-morrow, and raise the standard of Independence : when the whole are assembled they will be undtr the command of General Bernardo, who is expected from Pry:en rdint, with 1000 men. Friday, the Right lion. Sir Wm. Score arrived at the blansion-honse, in Newcastle, on a visit to the blauncss, his niece. The bells rang mezrily on the occas►on to a lace hour. MANCHESTER MEETINCi. The following letter was addressed by Mr. HUNT tothe Reformers of Manchester, as soon as he became acquainted with the resolution of the Magistrates to prevent the Meeting as originally announed for the 9th instant : " TO THE REFORMERS OF MANCHESTER AND NEI4II been adopted , ; upwards of 200 having already been sent is to the hosiers of that place. The men still continue to receive the support of the public ; various donations are regularly received, and we understand collections for the same purpose are to be made at some of the places of worship. This has already been done at one Meeting (Harvey-lane.) After the afternoen's service, on Sunday last, the Rev. ROBERT HALL made a forcible appeal to his con gregation in behalf of the Framework-Knitters, which was promptly answered by a liberal collection of 1:30. 2s. 6d. LOUGHBOROUGH. The stocking-making trade is here also completely at a stand. On Friday se'nnight the Sheepshead, Quorn, Barrow, Sileby, Woodhouse, Whitwick, and Thtingstone men, women, and boys, employed in the trade, assemhled together at that place, and join ing the Loqghborough, made a public procession through the principal streets of the town : the num ber of the whole was computed at 2,000, and they marched two and two, en militant, with flags dressed with black crape: the women of each respective pa.. rish preceded the men, and in this imposing manner they went slowly, and solemnly along, as if deploring some general disaster. The utmost order pervaded the whole line, and in the end they separated in the most peaceable and quiet manner, agreeing to hold out until the advanced prices were given. GLASGOW WEAVERS. The Committee of the unemployed Wearers have published what they call a statement of their case.— 'After narrating:the different steps which they had taken, and with which the public are already ac quainted, to chavi the attention of the Magistrates to their suffering situation, they proceed to give the following account of the circumstances attending the reduction in the rate of the wages originally allowed by the Magistrates to those taken into em ployment on the public improvements: The question respecting the reduction et the wages being put (on Saturday, the 7th instant) to the Gentlemen of the Committee, they signified, that the state of men having families would be takes into consideration, and requested the Delegates to wait on them, on Monday, when an answer would be given. ,Insconsequence of a person having carried an erro- Meous piece of intelligence to the quariy on Monday morning, the men dropt work, and those in the Green followed their example at ten o'clock. According to the appointment made on Saturday, the Delegates waited on the Gentlemen of the Committee, but were never admitted to their presence; but Mr. CLELAND appeared, and communicated to the men in the Green the determination of the Gentlemen who had met. It was then resolved by the Delegates to meet, the different Districts immediately, and lay before . them the state of affairs. At five o'clock in the after noon the Delegates met to receive thAtteports from the different Districts, when the Committee of Dele gates appointed a Select Committee to wait on the LORD Peerosr, when they received an answet,, that he had taken up his ground, and that he would keep it. Thus we have thought proper to lay this plain statement of facts before the Public, that they may be enabled to draw a fair and unprejudiced conclu sion respecting this affair. We forbear to make, any reflections, as being quite unnecessary. The facts speak volumes." STATE PROSECUTIONS.

BIRCH. A sort of official statement has been issued from the Warren Bulkeley Arms Inn, said to come from the Magistrates of Stockport, respecting the circum stances of Mr. BIRCH'S assassination. Mr. Birch, it states, " had no pistol. Mr. Killer first saw him after he was shot, and probed his wound. Mr. K. was afterwards assisted by Mr. Flint and Mr. Ameers.— Bruce was taken before three o'clock in the morning, and described the other men with him, and pointed cut the mark on his face made by the flash from the pistol. William Pearson, a prisoner, ran after Birch into Lolalty Place, and was followed by David Davies, who lives with Mr. Leah, in Edgeley.— The latter have been already under examination.— The surgeons above-named, as well as the Surgeon of the 15th Hussars, all agree that a bullet is now, lodged near to themidriff of Mr. Birch, having takeni a direction backwards and downwards, by reason of] its having come in contact with the breast bone."— A variety of other circumstances are stated to shew the groundlessness of certairt insinuations which the Reforming Party in Stockport have thrown out on the subject, and the Magistrates conclude by stating that " the wicked conspiracy which has been entered into by certain individuals in the town, to involve the characters of innocent persons, because they are loyal, will meet with exposure and reprobation, if not due punishment." NOTTINGHAM. Dining the last week great numbers of the frame- 1 work knitters, who have struck for an advance of wages, have paraded the streets, but they have con ducted themselves in the most peaceable manner. ALTRINCHAM. A Meeting was held here on Tuesday last of the inhabitants of this place and neighbourhood, the Earl of WARRIMOTON in the Chair, when a Declaration was unanimously agreed to, solemnly engaging them selves collectively and individually to act as special constables when required, in preserving the peace and also lo support by every means in their power the cause of Religion and the Government and Constitu tion of the Kingdom. BOURIIOOD. " Coventry, on my road to Manchester, Aug. 5, 1819. " Since I last addressed you, I see by the News papers that the Ministers have published their Pro clamation, in the name of the PRINCE vowing vengeance against all future Meetings for Reform. I now see by this day's Courier, that the Magistrates acting for the Counties of Lancaster and Chester have also published their Proclamation, denouncing our Meeting on the 9th fOr Iteform as an illegal Meeting, and they caution all persons to abstain their peril from attending such illegal Meeting—Ail the Chairman appointed to preside at that Meeting, I do hereby publish this, my Proclamation ! " First, I shall attend at the time appointed to preside at the said Meeting, under the full impres sion that the Meeting is not only legal, but perfectly constitutional, it being called for the purpose of con sidering the besrmeans of promoting that great ob : , jest, Reform of the Commons House of Parliament. '"Second, If, any proposition should be offered which is illegal; as the, Chairman of that Meeting f hold myself responsible, and therefore I certainly shall not submit it to the Meeting. 44 ThirJ, There is no law that empowers a Magis .gistrate to disperse a Meeting convened for such punt pose, unless the Magistrates of Manchester intend to act upon the law that expired in July ISIB. 44 Fourth, The Magistrates having ordered all per sons to abstain at their peril, which means in plain English that those who stay away from .the Meeting will do it at their peril, of course all those who are ender the influence of the said Magistrates, will cer tainly attend under pain of their high displeasure. " Fifth, If any thing seditious or illegal should. take place at the said Meeting, surely the law in the hands of the present Attorney-General, aided by a packed Lancashire Special Jury, is quite strong (enough to meet such an offence, unless the Magis trates mean to dispense with all law, and resort to open force at once, which should they do, the Re formers will at all events know what they have to trust to.—Yours, &c. 44 u. rum; OLDHAM. A spirit of disaffection similar to that which. per vades Manchester, is known to prevail here. The' local authorities are already on the alert to prevent any outrage. On Monday morning last, a troop of the Yeomanry were marched in to overawe the contents, and from their presence it is hoped. the pub lic peace will be preserved inviolate. SUIPLEY. Several Inhabitant householders of Shipley having requested the Constable to call a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood, "to take into consideration the present distressed gate of the country ; and the best means of legally obtaining our natural and constitutional rights", and the Con stable having refused their request, they have of themselves called a Public Meeting for the purposes above specified, to be held on Friday, August 20, on the Common, near the Town School. DEWSBURY. The differences between the Masters and their workmen, in Dewsbury and the neighbourhood, are partly adjusted, but the reconciliation is not yet cor dial. There is also an advance in the wages of the billy-spinners, the jenny-spinners. the mixers and the warpers ; but it is not equal to the improvement in the wages of the weavers. It appears that the Union has removed the inter dict against the employment of females in the warp ing department, but they adhere steadily to the prin ciple that no female shall be allowed to weave and spin, except for their husbands or fathers. The maxi mum of wages they have fixed at 245. per week, for a billy-spinner, or raizer ; at a guinea for a jenny spinner, and at 20s. for a weaver ; and any person presuming to do more work than will produce these wages, is to pay half-a-guinea to the " Union," Is to be excluded. Twelve hours a day is the tit& allowed for work in a mill, including meal-times, and persons exceeding these hours are subject to similar penalties. PRESTON PUBLIC MEETING. Seventeen inhabitant householders of the Borough of Preston, having presented a Requisition to the MAYOR, to convene a Public Meeting " to take into consideration the causes of the misery into which the once happy people of this Kingdom are now fallen, and the most speedy and effectual mode of removing those causes ;" and his Worship having refused to call such Meeting, the Requisitionists therefore have adver tised that a Public Meeting will be held for the above mentioned purpose, in Everton Gardens, on Monday the 2Sd instant. LEICESTER. We regret to find, that unanimity between the Hosiers and Framework-Knitters of this town and county does not yet prevail. While the former in sist upon the New Statement, the latter as firmly re quire that of 1817 ; and where it is not complied with, cease to work, and the frames are brought home. Great numbers have been sent in during the last week to various hosiers in this place. At Hinckley, also, we find the same practice has
