ANOTHER. LETTER. " MANOMETER, SEPT. 19. 'II my last I informed you that we had received is cf disturbances having broken out at Burn -, zhere they had proceeded to acts of violence. /as at first reported that one object of the riotous o liberate several persons who it was said had aken into custody, on account of having taken active fart 17. the late tnrn.out, and among them Icgates from this place, against whom our ai-e had warrants, charging them with being in- I:lien in fomentin g an d a d v i s i ng t h e l a t e turn-out disturbances; and that these, with others confined ..-zt small gaol of Burnley, had bccu,set at liberty. The fact, however is, that the weavers who had • far ' agts r.e.:t on 'Wednesday evening in a at, great body, to the prison, forted the door, gad how., rated a Hellman who had been imprisoned for eolite improper Proclamation, calculated - to asieitible the working people in a manner dangerous to the public peace. An exptess was sent to this town for military aid; and accordingly the ISth Light Dragoons, with the Manchester and Salford - Yeoman:2 , Cavalry, marched off immediately, and by their presence, sue. , needed in securing tranquillity for the present. I have seen a letter from Burnley, dated last evening, which states that they are tolerably peaceable, but that a' great number of the weavers are in a state of idle ness, refusing to resume their work until their full demands of an advance of 7s. iu the pound are com plied with ; many, however, have gone in on the prices settled by the Masters. The letter further goes on to observe, that much ferment still exists (though not openly displayed) among the weavers and spin ners iwßurnley, Bolton, Preston, and all the inter mediate towns and villages. " Excepting one person, no one received any per sonal injury. In trying to avoid a dragoon horse, which would have passed without hurting him, he unfortunately threw himself against another and was rode over, by which accident he had the misfortune to have a leg broken.—A number of extra constables have been sworn in, and the Magistrates fully expect to be able to preserve the public peace. " The 4th, or Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, are expected here on Monday or Tuesday next. " Our Yeomanry Cavalry returned this evening from Burnley, where all remained tranquil. PilkingiOn and Kaye, taken up at Bury, for se dition, have been lodged in the New Bailey Prison at this place, and it is supposed will be committed to Lancaster Castle." PRIVATE LETTER. a PRKISTON, 18TH SEPT. (AT NIGHT). It We hare been in a state of considerable alarm for tome days. On Monday and Wednesday, and to-day, the Journeymen Weavers who have struck for an advance of wages have been parading our streets in great bodies. Hitherto, I am happy to say, they have committed no direct acts of violence : but they are determined, they say, not to return to their work till the advance of wages which they have re _ _ . _ . quired be acceded to on the part of the Master's; and what this may lead to, if both parties continuo obsti nate, cannot' be anticipated. Our alarms are the greater because in all the manufacturing towns in this county the workmen manifest a similar disposi tion; and indeed, the Weavers id particular,liave for a long time been in a state of estreme penurr, though in full employment and willing to maintain them selves by their labour." Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Bahia, dated July 31 : " On the 29th inst. the Margaret, Cana, arrived hers from London, after being boarded by an Insurgent privateer brig,' under AITIOAS ' S flag, mounting 16 guns, and with a crew of 134 men. She bad jest captured a Portuguese brig (the Gloiso) from Calcutta bound to Lisbon, and I S of the crew were put on board the Margaret, and landed here. Yesterday morning, the Portuguese ship Eugenio, which had left this port for India a few days before, returned with the loss of her wizen-mast ; she was chased almost into the mouth of the Bay by the sante privateer, which still continues cruising in the neighbourhood. The Portuguese Government have no armed vessels to send in pursuit of her; but a meeting of the Portuguese merchants has been held, to devise some means for the protection of their trlide, though I believe nothing has yet been axed upon." Mails from Holland and Flanders arrived yester day, the principal intelligence brought by which will be found in a preceding part of our Paper. Another Mail from Holland arrived this forenoon, the con tents of which require but little additional notice. I The report which was some time ago inserted in the English journals, that a malignant fever prevailed at Surinam, is contradicted, on the authority of let ters which have been received at Amsterdam from that colony, of so late a date as the 30th of July. Authentic accounts are stated to have been received from Carlsbad, according to which Prince BLUCIIER is entirely recovered, and is expected to be present at a grand review of the Prussian troops, which is to take place at Berlin, on the arrival there of the Em peror ALEXANDER. By the arrival from Buenos Ayres of letters and Papers to the 23d of June, and intelligence from Vera Cruz to the 18th of the same month, received at Madrid, and contained in the Paris papers which have reached us to-day, we are enabled to lay before our Readers a variety of new particulars relative to the state of the South Ainerican provinces. Tuesday Sir Gazoon MACGREGOR, of the Patriotic South American Army, arrived at Belfast, on - his way to Dr. O'RElLty's, Donaghadee. The General speaks in the most confident terms of the final success of the Patriotic .cause. Lieutenant-Colonel ANDREWS sailed yesterday from Ramsgate for Ostend.

It is inten ded that the Officers and men shall be divided into parties, each to occupy a martello tower. They are to keep watch by night, and thus, by their alacrity, intercept the acts of illicit traffic which the arrange ments at present adopted are inadequate to prevent. They are to be victualled from the SEVERN, lying in the Downs; a surgeon (Mr. DALLAWAY) and a purser (Mr. Jos. WILLIAMSON) are appointed.

The Princesses did not take their accustomed walk, not did they receive any visi tors. The PRINCR REGENT was the only member of the Royal Family, who visited her MAJESTY, and he arrived at the Palace, from Carlton-House, about six o'clock, and remained to dine with the Princesses. " Sir HARRY HALFORD was under the necessity of leaving the Palace fora 'short time, in the afternoon, in order to visit the Princess SOPRIA, at Windsor, and he had not returned, up to seven o'clock, though he had been eipected before six. " The PRINCE REOINT'S horses are ordered for half-past eight o'clock, to return to Carlton-House." " Kew Palace, September 21. " The Quaint had more sleep last night than the preceding night.

HANS HAMILTON, Esq. and Major-General TROT- Tan, are among the late fashionable arrivals in Dub lin, from England : The Ball at Lucan, on Monday night, was most fashionably and numerously attended. There were nearly two hundred persons present. The Duke of LEINSTER and his amiable and lovely Duchess were amongst the-first arrivals in the rooms, as well's the latest to depart. The .dancing commenced about eleven. The Duchess opened the Ball, not accord in to the habits of our modern dandy Ladies , who , after dancing a few couples, seat themselves, con smote, in a corner, until a new dance begins. Her Grace, contrary to this dandyish custom, never sat down until the set was entirely finished. The supper and accommodation were of the best description, and the company ? did not separate until a late, or rather an early hour. A person passing through Alnwick, and observing upon a door ", Haswell, surgeon, &c. remarked, that that gentleman's name would bees-well without the IA v_ The melancholy event, of the sudden and un-looked Ws r death of a late gallant Admiral, was followed the lonsuing moroing with a scene somewhat ludicrous: A brother Officer having engaged to call on him at an appointed hour to walk out, well aware of the scrupulous punctuality of his friend, being a little late, when the servant presented himself at the door, ,hurriedly said to him, " Well, is the Admiral off ?" Yes, Sir," said the poor man, "he gone r That's odd," with in aspiration, answered the Officer, "for he promised to wait for me !" Sir W. W. WYNNE, Bart.'s famous horse Piscator won, at the Shrewsbury Races, on Monday last, the sweepstakes of 120 guineas, and the Wednesday fol lowing, he won the gold cup, valued at 100 guineas • Last week a quantity of turnips was shipped at Berwick for London, the first shipment of that kind ever made at that port. DRURY-LANE THEATRE..--The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was performed, for the second time this season, at this Theatre, on Saturday evening. Mr. H. KEMBLE was again favourably received in Romeo. 'The new Juliet met with increased applause and en couragement. She displays the essential requisite of feeling ; and even where her execution fails of due effect, she spews a just perception of what is capable of being effectively given. She executed some points in the garden scene with force and delicacy. Miss WITHAM, from the Bath Theatre, made her first appearance in the character of Rosina, in the Opera of that name, and was most favourably received. Her voice is extremely sweet, clear and flexible and her style of singing very easy and graceful. Of her pow - er it may be sufficient to say, that she was en cored in the song of " Whilst with village Maids 1 stray," and repeated it apparently without the least fatigue. A Gentleman also made his first appearance in the character of Renville, whose claims to notice are not of quite so high an order. His voice is agree able, but he evidently wants practice. The rest of the Opera was filled as usual, and received with ge neral applause from a very numerous audience. Mr. KEAN arrived on Saturday night at Drury- Lane Theatre. He drove up to the stage door in a post-chaise and four, and was welcomed by many of his brother actors. When Mr. KEAN left Paris, he proceeded to Secheron, close to the Lake of Geneva, and thence to Mont Blanc and to the Convent of St. Bernard, where he and his fellow travellers were en-' tertained in the most hospitable manner by the Prior and Monks for a day and night. Mr. KEAN, observ ing an old spinnet in one of the apartments df the Convent, opened it and played some little airs, which he also sung. This highly delighted the Prior and Fathers, who pressed him much to lengthen his visit. Thence he returned to Paris, where FALMA again paid him every attention in his power, and performed his principal characters, which Mr. KEAN was so de sirous to see.
