Whether his present visit is of a political or a commercial na spit has not yet transpired. The Cabinet Ministers dined yesterday with the Earl of LIVERPOOL. Yesterday the whole of Mr. YORKE'S family left the Admiralty. Yesterday Lord MetviLLE transacted business at the Admir.ilty.

Thi s a fternoon another Flag of Truce arrived here from Calais, with au Officer and Dispatches ; and Lieutenant LITTLE, the Commander of the CHARLES schooner, has gone over to Deal to the Ad miral, with the dispatches, and the French Officer is at present on board the CHARLES. This arrival is no doubt a reply to the dispatches which were for warded from Deal to Calais on Friday last." General SARRAZIN, we understand, wrote a letter on Monday to a ship-broker, requesting him to pro vide a passage for.him to Sweden • and at the same time informing him, that he coul d not obtain a pass port from the British Government. The Gentleman to whom the letter was addressed very properly com municated its contents to Ministers. The sentiments in the Address from the Loyal and Independent Livery, to be presented to the PRINCE REGENT, are well worthy of that truly re spectable body, and is a gratifying contrast to the one presented at the Levee on Tuesday. It were to be wished that a copy should be sent to every part of the British Empire, as it would tend to shew what is the real opinion of the Liverymen of London at this critical juncture, who have manifested on all occa sions their determination to support the Government of their Country. The signatures now exceed 1400, and it will remain a few days longer at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, and London Coffee- House, Ludgate-hill. The Ticket No. 7205, drawn this day a Prize of £15,000, was sold at Messrs. HAZARD, BURNE, and Co.'s Office, Royal Exchange. This day the LOTTERY began drawing. No. 5518, a Prize of £lO,OOO, was sold in Two Quarters and Eight Sixteenths-11518, a Prize of £5OOO, in One Half and Eight Sixteenths; also, 11433, a Prize of £3OOO, in One Quarter, Two Eighths, and Eight Sixteenths, by RICHARDSON, GOODLUCK, and Co. Bar* Buildings, Cornhill, and opposite the King's Mews, Charing-Cross. • COVENT- GARDEN THEKTRE.—In unhooding the Duke, disguised as a' Friar, tovigards the close of the play of Measure for Measure, on Tuesday evening, Mr. Keson.E's wig fell on the stage. The circum stance occasioned a momentary burst of laughter , 1 from the audience—all of whom were delighted with the transcendent abilities of Mrs. SIDDONS in Isabella, and the fine acting of her brothers, JOHN and CHARLES RESIBLE, in the Characters of the Duke and Claudio.— It is painful, however, to add, that either from the unfavourable state of the weather, or a falling off in the public taste, the boxes, even at half-price, were half empty ! The late performance of Dr. Cnorcn's new Ora torio of Pakitins, was crowned with the most brilliant success. The rooms were never known to be so full. The Tickets were all disposed of early on ; Tuesday morning, but till the rooms were completely filled the company would not be refused admission, and many were afterwards disappointed of hearing this performance. Every part of the Oratorio was highly approved, and at the conclusion the Composer was loudly called upols to repeat the whole, which we hear he will do on May 26th. Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain JAMES Ross, of the ship CARMARTHEN, took leave previous to departing for Madras and Bengal. By recent advices from Paris, it appears to be the intention of the French Government to supersede the necessity of the usual licences, and open the ports through the whole range of coast from St. Maloes to Antwerp. Whether this purposed arrangement be to be attributed to the well known abuses with regard to licences in France, or to the keen appetite of Bo- NAPARTE to encourage the trade with this country, is doubtful, but it is certain that by such means, a ma- Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, the Qu um and Prin. terial impediment to the intercourse will be removed, Ours ArousvA and MARY, arrived at the Queen's as the difficulty of obtaining licences on the other side Palace from Windsor.

" DOVER, APRIL 29. eg The CHARLES hired armed schooner, Liet:tenant LITTLE, this afternoon, about four o'clock, picked , up a small French boat, bearing 4 flag of Truce, !, and having an Officer on board with dispatches from , his Government to this. Lieutenant LITTLE landed the dispatches immediately, and set off with them in a chaise and four from the maiLcoach office to Deal, from whence they will be forwarded by the Port Admiral to London. The French Officer is detained for the present on board the schooner, which of course prevents us learning any intelligence." Stocks lose one per cent. this morning, in conse quence of the arrival of the above intelligence. french Papers to the 26th instant arrived in Town list night. They are still silent on the subject of BONAPARTeS departure for the North, and the intel.l ipnce they convey is absolutely of no importance. Private Letters of , the 24th, however, which we have yea, state positively, that the departure of the Eat- 'DIOR had taken place, and aLIJ, what we surmized Yesterday, that it was kept a profound secret. We sic also informed, from the same source, that Mr. lianow, the American Ambassador at Paris, is Deiced with great neglect, if not contempt. He has Baden progress whatever in the objects of his MiS• sion, nor has be the least prospect of obtaining resti ttttion of the valuable American property, which it was the first object of his mission to obtain. A plot has been discovered at Paris between the War Department and the Russian Legation. In con. . sequence of some treasonable communications, four clerks of that department have been brought to trial, and one of them has been sentenced to receive capital punishment. Another (M. Smarr) has been amerced in the sum of 600 francs, and exposed to the disgrace of the iron collar during one hour. We have seen some letters from Sweden, received by the Anholt Mail of yesterday. Those from Stock. i habit are dated on the 17th, and from Gottenburghl on the 21st inst. They say nothing about prepara. tions for hostilities, but on the contrary, state it to be the determination of the Court of Sweden to preserve a strict neutrality. I t i s wort hy of remark, that the precautionary measures adopted by the Board of Trade, to secure British properties from falling into the hands of the Swedes, should have been resolved on after the receipt of the fist dispatches from Mr. TaORN lON, which are now understood not to have teen of a very encouraging aspect,. kfrAL 1142LaGENCR.

GREENOCK, APRIL 27. The schooner Pat ia, FiteaEmu, master, of and for hence, laden with fruit, out forty-two days from• St. Michael's, having suffered considerable damage in her rigging, and expended all her provisions; was board ed on Sunday fortnight, to the eastward of Torry, by Captain STEWART, of his Majesty's Revenue cut ter RUTLAND, who humanely afforded the schooner every relief in his power, and gave the crew a sup ply of bread and beef, sufficient to carry them to their port of destination. The Bacchus, Tucasog, from Limerick for this port, with grain, was captured on the 18th ult. by the Juno French privateer, and sunk. • Tuesday morning, James Salt, who was Wed on board the SALVADOR DEL • WNW, for striking the Master at Arms of the Inn, with a mallet, was sent to Cawsand Bay, (all the boats of the fleet attending) for execution on board the Colossus, of 74 guns. When the rope was round his neck, and all the pre parations had been made for hunching him into eter nity, he was, most unexpectedly reprieved. RIOTS. Yesterday and this morning several regiments of .cavalry and infantry marched through London for Lthose quarters, where the public tranquillity has been I disturbed by rioters. Government are resolved to use the most energetic measures to enforce obedience and respect to the laws, since it has been found that leniency has not had its desired effect upon the mis guided people. Such is the haste with which these troops are commanded to reach their respective desti. nations, that the inf.tn try travel in carts and waggons. " CARLISLE, APRIL 25. " On Tuesday a meeting of the Magistrates and neighbouring Gendemen was held in the Town-hall, which was also crowded with the town's people, among whom were several of the operative weavers. After a number of inhabitants had been sworn in spe cial constables for the constitutional protection of the place, Colonel HOWARD, of Corby, and Mr. CHRIS TIAN, of Unrigg-hall, addressed the people. Amongst other things advanced, they stated, that from the overstocked state of the markets, and the dulness of manufacturing sales, an immediate advance of wages was impracticable—that though the sufferings of the poor were great, yet in no country were there such excellent laws for their relief—and that if the labour. ing fnechanic found it impossible to support his family he ought to seek parochial relief. Some of the wea vers, in reply, stated, that in consequence of the very low price of labour, they were compelled to perform twice the former quantity of work, and thus nearly double the quantity of goods was manufactured by the satire number of hands, as otherwise would have been had wages been higher—that to an independent mind, the application for parochial assistance was at all times grievous ; but more particularly so now ; as in such case, they would be compelled to part with their children (and those, perhaps, at a very tender age). who, being bound out as parish appren tices, would be removed from that coniroul and su perintendence which every parent, whose mind is in the least impressed -with the awful responsibility of such a station, wishes to have over his chil dren ; and sooner than be severed from them, they would endure any hardships—that they had previ ously presented a Petition to the Magistrates for an advance of wages, praying to be heard on oath re specting the sufferings they were enduring ; and even, this last had been refused—that several of the City Magistrates being manufacturers, they considered them unfit to judge in their case—and that, though promises of an advance of wages had, on a recent occurrence, been held out to them, these promites were no longer regarded. The Meeting broke up without any thing having been determined. Very soon after, a Deputation from the weavers waited on Mr. Christian with the Petition they had formerly present. ed to the City Magistrates, in which were given ab stracts from two Acts of Parliament, asserting the power of the Magistrates to regulate the price o: manual labour, according to the price of provisions Mr. C. promised them, that so soon as it was pos sible, his father, Mr. Curwen, who is now attending his Parliamentary duty, would hold a Meeting of th County ktisigistrates, when their Petition should be duly considered ; and if any thing could be done to I, ameliorate their condition, they night rest esspresi it should not be neglected. We noderbtand that 141;. Christian afterwards communicated to the Magi strates the particulars of what had been promisad, which met with tiwir cordial approbation." .

APRIL 27. Early on•Mondgy last, the market-day at Roch dale, great crowds from the neighbourhood of Old ham, Koy ton, Heywood, and places adjacent, flocked in for the avowed purpose of lowe►ieg the price of provisions, it having been previously intimated by evil-disposed persons that sucb au illegal act woald • then be effected. The parties placed themselves in groups of about 50 or 60, in different parts of the town, and each group endeavoured to coll:ct around them the inhabitants of the town and country, by using inflammatory language; but, much to the cre dit of the latter, few, it any, seemed disposed to join them. The military being directly called our, and the Riot Act• read, the rioters were soon dispersed, without any oche* damage being done, and about 11 o'clock good order was restored. A large factory at Westhoughton, near Bolton, was burnt down on Friday by about 50 incendiaries, but no material mis chief has been done in the town. Several suspected persons are apprehended, and all was quiet at the date of our advices." Letters from Nottingham, received yesterday, men tion the following outrage :—On Mouthy night fist about eleven o'clock, Mr. TRENTHAM, of the house of Trentham, Tierney, and Morton, in the weaving trade, was waylaid on his return home by two ruf fians. Just as he was about to step up to his door, one of them placed himself before him, 'and present ing a pistol, shot hiin through the left breast : the assassins then made their escape. The report uf fire arms having brought the neighbours to the spot, sur gical assistance was immediately procured, and the ball was extracted from the back, a little below the left shoulder. Mr. Tnewroditheing 63 years {age, little hope is entertained of his recovery.

Tutsday night a body of ten or twelve men, with ' 1 their faces blackened, attacked the watchman belong. ing to the premises of Messrs. Home, manufacturers, in Denton•Holm, in consequence of some information he is said to have given respecting the rioters. The poor man was most dreadfully beaten : the assailants then compelled . his wife to deliver up his fire-arms, with which they decamped. ' Merely as a measure of precaution at Dumfries, the 2d battalion of the 46th Regiment has been ordered to that place, to assist in preserving the peace of the town. It i► hoped, however, that every thing will remain quiet in th4t quarter, as several opulent indi viduals.have exerted themselves to alleviate the' dig. tress of the lower orders. A dealer in meal in Air, has agreed to sell nearly 250 bolls, at the rate of 10 or 20 per week, for a penny a peck under the Edinburgh market price.
