; for the Old quay has not sufficient warehouse-room at Man. chester, and the Trustees of the Dike have monopolised so much of the land and warehouses there, that what is called a bye-carrier is subject to delays, costs. and impediments which completely put an end to all fair and open competition, and enable the Trustees to exact twice the amount of towage to which the Acts of Parliamedt obtained by his Grace entitle them. " That, in addition to the monopoly which is thereby obtained hut never intended to be given to them by Parliament, these two Companies are strengthened and supported in their proceedings by the paucity of accommodation which your Corporate Body is ena bled to offer to new Companies of Carriers by water; so that, in point of fact, a state of things has arisen which was never contern plated, and which ought not to be submitted to, if a remedy for so serious a grievance can be suggested. " 'That your !Memorialists, considering the actual difficulties with which they have had to contend, and which appear, from the rapid augmentation of trade, to be likely to increase, have, after doe i..vestigation of the cost and the advantages, determined to seek a remedy, and to .apply to Parliament, in the ensuing Session, for In Act to obtain permission to form a hail-road between the afosesaid towns. " Your Memorialists submit, that they have already made site a sufficient case for interference and competition with the two Com *panics named, and that, for the reasons stated, they trust they are entitled to your countenance and support; but they lay a claim to •yout cn-operation and assistance on broader and stronger grounds-- they claim, on behalf of this populous town, on behalf of !related, and of the manufacturing population of this part of the empire, your active and hearty support to a measure which will reduce the 'preseni charge on the conveyance of goods at least 25 per cent. 'the time of conveyance nearly three-fourths. " That, in addition to these claims which they prefer to your support, there is still another of great moment to the population of this town and neighbourhood—namely, the very great reduction 'which must take place in the necessary article of coals, in conse quence of the rail-road passing through the collieries situated on the -linty and laying them open to a quick and cheap conveyance. " Your Memorialists further beg to urge, that by the rail-road system delays from floods, droughts, frosts, or storms can never . Cl. cur ; that goods will escape damage by water, and that the owners will be exposed to no risk by wreck, or from any other cause. " That your Memorialists are as little disposed to trifle with their own property as with what are called the vested rights of others; but they are satisfied, after a patient and diligent inquiry, that the , undertaking will be attended with pecuniary recompense to them. selves, with incalculable advantages to the country ; and that, to this town in particular, and to the revenue of the Corporation, the , benefits will be immense. " That as to vested or exclusive rights, they acknowledge none, except such as are specifis:ally provided for by legislative enact ment, or by patent ; and as to patents, they were intended as an incitement to improvement, rather than as a prohibition.—That your klemorialists have yet to learn, that because the trade of the . country has been greatly facilitated and increased by canals, no fattier extension or improvement is necessary. That since nature has determined the limit to which canals can be carried, by the number of rivers and of springs which she has supplied, they have yet to learn that it would be wise to declare, that steam should not be employed in competition with water ; and they beg to state their opinion, that, as the existing navigations have monopolized the whole of the streams between here and Manchester, it would be just as reasonable that all Water-Aills should be protected from Steam-mills as that the present Canal Proprietors should be pro tected from the power of the Locomotive Engine. I "rhat your Memorialists are sensible, that the conduct of your Corporate Body never evinced a snore liberal and enlightened spirit than at the present moment; and that, for the - purpose of promoting their own views, it is quite unnecessary that they should refer you to precedent; nevertheless, for the honour of your Body, and fur the credit of the Town, they cannot resist stating, that the Mayor and Corporation of Liverpool can claim the distinguished merit of being the earliest promoters of Inland navigation. On re ference to your records, in 1765, you will find that the country is mainly indebted to the Corporation of Liverpool for the establish ment of the Trent and Mersey Navigation, and that the funds of the Burgesses, and the influence of the Members for the Borough and County, Were employed to obtain the Act of Parliament under which that Canal was established. " 'That your Memorialists are aware. that the projected plan may affect the value of certain Canals in this neighbourhood ; but they have no idea that the reduction will be greater than from exorbitant to liberal and fair returns for the capital employed ; and, when this reduction is compared with the great public benefit which will re sult from the measure, they trust, that the Proprietors of those Canals will submit without resistance, for it cannot be denied, that they have long derived pecuniary compensation far greater than they ever anticipated. " Your Memorialists have further to observe, that these Canals, as well as all others; were commenced and supported under the plea of benefiting the public, or, to use the words of the Old Quay Act,' because they will be very beneficial to trade, advantageous to the poor, and convenient for the carriage of coals and merchan dize ;' and as those Canals superseded, in a great measure, the pre viously existing modes of conveyance for goods, your klemorialists confidently trust, that the Proprietors will not swerve from the principles which gave them existence, by opposing the project which is now laid before you ; a project which cannot fall of bents fitting the public in a very eminent degree. " Your Memorialists, therefore, pray that you will take all these premises into your serious considetation, and give them such sup port, both in and out of Parliament, as you may consider the im pottance of their case demands. " Liverpool, June 1, 1824. 41 . JOHN MOSS, Chairman." SPAIN. By the arrival of the Montague packet from the Me diterranean, we have received Papers and Letters to the 3d instant. The intelligence conveyed in the latter is of considerable importance. It states, that there had been a rising in the South of Spain, and that many of the troops had joined the insurgents. Proclamations and addresses, bearing neither date nor signature, had been circulated among the refugee Spaniards at Gibraltar, calling upon them to redeem their character and their ight s. On the 2d inst. reports were current in the gar rison :hat an armed force occupied the Sierra after having proclaimed the Constitution, and that in their advance they had killed the Alcade of Ximenes, a de cided Royalist. Other accounts say, that " a large body of segar-makers and idlers had armed themselves, and made their appearance in the Bay, with the intent of efecting a landing, and marching against the French force." General O'Donnell had written a letter of re monstrance to the Earl of Chatham, complaining that' the refugees In Gibraltar were engaged in a plot to dis turb public tranquillity in Spain. Boats and vessels w ere directed to perform eight days quarantine at Al gesiras. But from the date of the adv ices, down to the 2d of the present month, no interruption had taken place on the land side. PRIVATE CORRF.SPONDENCV.. Ahmui), AtasT S. " The battalions of provincial Militia which are to form a part of the garrison of the capital, have at length arrived, and were this day reviewed, in the wood of Migas Calientes, a little distance from town. It appears that they are far from being content with their transla tion to the capital, as they have got the idea into their heads that they miry from hence be transferred to Ame rica. If some members of the Government should be still blind enough to the signs of the times to think of sending an expedition to our ancient Colonies, be as sured they will never be able, by force, threats, or pro 'vises, to embark a-single company. The mere decla ration of such an intention would cause almost universal desertion. An order has just been given to put roost strictly in force the dispositions of his Majesty's Decree, of the 4th of October, in consequence of which several person. have been expelled the city ; and the Commis sioners of P lice have orders to make-the most minute re.ein ell relative to those persons who, according to the tenour of that Decree, have no right to remain in the capi tal. What 1 told you in my last, relative to the disputes au►onbst themselves, and subsequent desertion of Que sada% battalion of Guides, sent away from this, has been fully confirmed, but very few of them reached their destination, Toledo. Hencelerth, when Spanish troops are to be sent to any destination which may not I exactly be to their taste, it will be necessary to have them escorted, like the chains of galley slaves, by a strong detachmemt of French trodps, otherwise the it muster-roll w" I exhibit a considerable number - of blanks at the dof the march, i ,i l hi spirit of discon-, teatseems to ave gained even the Royal Guards, the only corps which can boast of any old : or disciplined soldiers. Formerly cart was taken to officer these troops by men of experience and military character ; but at present they are commanded by a set of beard less boys, that have neither the knowledge nor qualities necessary to constitute good officers.

The establishment by his MAJESTY'S Government of regular packets to communicate with Mexico by Vera Cruz, and with Colombia by Carthagena and La Guyra, has afforded much gratification to the Merchants in the City, and may be considered as another and a very important step towards the recognition of their inde pendence. The present is certainly an anxious moment with regard to them both ; and it would not be fitting to the caution by which the conduct of the KING'S Go vernment has been hitherto marked, if any further steps were taken, until it be satisfactorily known what will be the issue of the crises through which they have both to pass. We shall probably soon know what is the fate of ITURSIDE'S enterprise. The Peruvian war will,) perhaps, not be settled so speedily. We have no fear that either Mexico or Colombia is exposed to any seri ous danger. The Dey of ALGIERS would probably deem it but a Poor compliment to be informed that the commence- ment, continuance, and termination of the War carried on against him by the British Government have alike escaped the notice of the people of England. Yet such is the fact. The declaration of hostilities against this barbarian did not depress Consols an eighth per cent.; and the annunciation of peace with him in Tuesday's Gazette scarcely elicited from a single Journalist an ex pression of satisfaction. Yet, if we consider the matter rightly, it reflects no small honour on Government to have so promptly and so effecroally •indicated the na tional honour. For the last five months the Port of Algiers has been kept under strict blockade. Not a cruiser has dared to venture out. 'the Algerine flag has been swept from the sea ; and the power of the British Navy has been strikingly displayed in the eyes of all those nations which were wont to crouch before the insolence of the Algerines. Thus, although we have to record few displays of British heroism, and no conquests of territory, the energy of our Rulers and the bravery of our seamen have not been exerted with out a beneficial effect ; and we may confidently believe that it will be long ere the Algerines will again pro voke a punishment which so certainly and so quickly follows the offence. This forenoon we received such of the French Papers of Wednesday as had not reached us yesterday by Ex press, and we have been amused in looking over them, to see the progress of the Censorship. , The Courier Francais of Tuesday has had nearly half a column struck out of its translations from the English Papers, about a quarter of a column frem its Spanish news, and nearly a column struck out of its do• mestic intelligence. On Wednesday, it has either been more guarded, or filled up some portion of the blanks, which are small. The Gazette de France and the Journal de Paris bear no marks of the Censorship, but the Journal du Connnerce has nearly a column struck out of its do mestic intelligence, and half a column out of its ad vertisement page ; for all literary journals, as well as those appropriated to advertisements, come under the jurisdiction of the Censors. The Journal des Debats, which exhibited a " naked void" of two columns and a half on Tuesday, fills its sheet by one means or another on the following day, as does the Consti tutiound. There is little doubt, however, but the Censors had expunged some articles, and that the blanks were filled up by matter which had pre viously passed the ordeal. The Editors of the latter Journal observe, that not being allowed to say what they would, they must be content to say what they can, and confess that the system of making blanks cannot be continued. It is indeed probable that a series of blanks would be regarded as libelous, and subject the Journals to the penalties by which a periodical Paper may be condemned on the vague charge of a seditious spirit and tendency. The Journal de Paris is the only paper that praises the revival of the Censorship. The poor Quotidienne, which at first seemed to think that nothing it contained could. give offence, has been sadly embartnseed in its typographical 'arrangements. SAe twenty lines had been struck out of its fharis iatlUi ce, and'the printer, seems to h e ave filled up t spi . lee inverting the type, as a large black spats ßTO •witere the pen of the .Ceisor had passed; but the difficulties of the Quotidienne did - not terminate here. A new Tragedy, by M. CHAU VET, entitled Arthur de Bretagne, was performed at the Theatre de L'Odeon, on Tuesday, and an account of it is given in the other papers ; but the theatrical report of the Quotidienne could not be got ready in time for the inspection of the Censor, who insisted upon seeing it at seven o'clock in the evening, and is there fore omitted in the publication of Wednesday, These papers contain no intelligence of interest ; the Censorship seems to engross the public attention ; and an Ordonnance has been published, establishing six Cen sors in Paris, to be appointed by the Minister of the Interior. In the Departments, the Censors are to be ap pointed by the Prefects. M. FRANCHET, Director of the Police, is placed at the head of the Commission of the Censorship; and a M. DRLIEGE is its Secretary. This morning we received Lisbon Gazettes to the 7th instant, inclusive. They contain the appointment of several Naval Officers to the command of ships, and long extracts from the Goa Gazette of the 27th of Ja. nuary, describing the rejoicings that took place on the arrival of the news from Lisbon, of the KING having been restored to his authority. The following are extracts: LISBON, AUGUST 3. The false and absurd reports which have been cir culated respecting the return to this port of the ship Maria e Cardoza, Captain Rulfino Peres Baptista, oblige us to shew their want of foundation, by publish ing the copy of the entry of that vessel, taken at five o'clock in the afternoon of the 28th of July, when it entered this port : " Ship Maria e Cardoza, Captain Repo Peres Baptists, at sea ninety-five days, crew 164 men, passengers 308." The Captain stated in writing as follows: " In consequence of many calms, contrary winds, and a great scarcity of provisions, and the ship not being likely to reach the channel of Mozambique with the Monsoon, these were urgent reasons which obliged us to return." He added verbally, on the 14th of May he put into St. Thiago de Carbo Verde, where he left four exiles (degradados) sick in the hospital, stay ing there only four days. LISBON, AUGUST 4.

His Majesty adds—" Happily, Sire, in this painful crisis, DIVINE PROVIDENCE visibly pro tected your rights, and permitted your Majesty, in the midst of your trouble, to enjoy the sweetest of all con solations, that of receiving from your people on that af- Hitting occasion, tender proofs of fidelity and affection.% The Mail from Brazil brings letters from Rio de Ja neiro of the 18th of June, and from Pernambuco of the Bth ultimo. The advices from the capital add nothing of importance to what was previously !mown. At Per nambuco the order of the EMPEROR for raising the blockade arrived on the 29th June, and the squadron set sail, as instructed, without delay, for Rio de Ja neiro. This event was highly gratifying to the Repub lican party at that place, who were thus left, nnawed by the presence of the ships of War, to pursue their for. suer schemes. The end to whickihey were directed was . soon tnade evident, by a Decree put forth by CARVALHO, the Governor, and head of that party, in which he pro. mulgated the form of a Supreme Government for the Northern Provinces of Brazil, to which he invites them to accede: he had also announced hostilities against Paraiba and Alagoes, and ordered two vessels to be pre. pared for the blockade of those places: finally, he had declared his intention, when his plans were completed, to abolish the trade in slaves. We have no materials for forming an opinion respecting the means possessed by CARVALHO for supporting by his acts the high tone assumed in his public declarations. It appears pro bable, however, that he would have a contest to sustain for the ascendancy in Pernambuco itself, before he could proceed to develope his ulterior plans with regard to the cther provinces to the northward. The EMPEROR of BRAZIL had ordered the Govern ment of the province of Minos Geraes to march forward 3,000 militia, properly equipped and officered, at the expense of the said province, &c. Similar orders had been issued to the other provinces, so that it was expected a large force would soon be col lected in the Brazilian capital. It has already been mentioned, that some dissensions prevailed at Maranham in the beginning of July. Letters from that place of the 9th of July, state, that on the 3d, the governing Junta notified to the British Consul, Mr. HICSEZTH, that a body of troops was advancing against the city for the avowed purpose of changing the form of the Government. At the same time Mr.H eastern had received, indirectly, as- surances from the leaders of the hostile party,that the per , sons and property of British subjects should be strictly re-., spected,sthich assurances were officially confirmed on the sth, by documents signed by the leaders, or as they style themselves, 4 , The Junta of the Expeditionary Commis sion." On receiving the first iutithation from the Govern. ment, Mr. Hawn - if addressed a circular to the English merchants at Maranham, leaving it to them to consider whether steps should be taken to convene a meeting, bu t we do not find it stated that any meeting did take place. It is therefore probable, that the assurances of protec tion which Mr. HESIERTII had received were deemed satisfactory. THE AII3IY. The 75th Regiment of Infantry has been ordered to ma rc h from Naas to Birr. _ _ The 63d (West Suffolk) Regiment of Fuot has been ordered from Uirr to Naas. Four Troops of the 12th Lancers have arrived at llai g h ton, which is to be the head -quarters of that Regiment. NAPAL lATELLIGENCE.

The Loan CIIANCILLOR this day again sat in his private Novi:, and gave judgment in this cue, which was an application do the part of the plaintiff to restrain the defendants, the Canal Cotripany, from deepening or widening the basin at Cardiff. His Lordship strongly recommended the parties to get some skilful engineer, and arrange amongst themselves some plan by which the objections could be removed. At all events the Company, unless they could spew that the Act of Parliament empowered them to carry on the works complained of, ought not to proceed ; and his Lordship was sure that, even if the Act did authorise them to do so, that power would not be vested Ns them in another Session of Parliament.— The advice he should give them was, to get some skilful engineer, and make him their Lord Chancellor, as he was sure that if they did not now do so, a very short time would elapse before they re gretted they had not followed his advice. However, in the mean time, the Court restrained the Company from deepening or widen ing the Canal until the further order of the Court, so far as related to the basin at Cardiff. COWES, AUG UST 20. Our Regatta; this year, as was anticipated, has excited much in terest: the consequent increase of company during the present week, and the difficulty of procuring accommodations has been very great. The weather being very unfavourable at the beginning of the week, caused a little damp to the spirits; however, the gloom soon dissipated as the weather proved very auspicious, and every thing, both afloat and on shore, put on a very gay appearance.— About noon the Parade was crowded with spectators from all parts to witness the novel anegay scene on the water, which was nearly covered with yachts and vessels, all dressed off with variegated colours, in the best style, among which were Lord Caavves beau tiful ship yacht. the Louisa, and bard Yaaamioutsies ditto, the Falcon, with his Majesty's brig Catuore, decorated from stem to stern, and the Royal Standard streaming at the main. A little before midday the review of side pilot vessels commenced, and at tracted general notice ; and it certainly was a very pleasing spectacle to view the whole of the pilot vessels belonging to the Island, sailing in a long line, according to their respective numbers, with their distinguishing flags, and all fitted out in the best order. Precisely at three o'clock,the five following boats started off the Parade at the mouth of the harbour, and rowed five times round the prescribed course in view of the spectators :—Tbe Willing Maid, No. 3. owner Mr. R.
