They contain further particulars of the late disturbances atValencia, and confirm the reports of several persons having been arrested at Madrid, including a Groom of his MAJESTY'S Bed-chamber, charged with being impli cated in the counter-revolutionary movement of Mo- ItALES. This Groom, it appears, had given various sums of money to some of the other parties in cus-1 tody, to excite them to enterprizes against the new order of things On the 23d ult. the Magistrates of Madrid presented to his Catholic MAJESTY an Ad dress, containing some home truths as to the cause of the agitated state of the public mind. They tell Lim, that those who keep alive this ferment are to be found in his Court and Palaces—men who, falsely assuming to themselves the exclusive merit of loy alty, are incessantly occupied in endeavours to sub •ert the free Constitution of their country ; and they represent to his MAJESTY the futility of all attempts to tranquilize the feelings of the People, until it shall be practically demonstrated that his MAJESTY regards as his enemies all who are hostile to the new Institutions.

Among the first advantages that will be derived by humanity from the late Revolution in the North side of Hayti, and the death of Cruttsromn, is the liberation of several victims, who, in the character of political enemies of his late sable MAJESTY, have long dragged a miserable existence in the dungeons of his citadel of Sans Souci, and who possibly had lost all hopes of ever again seeing the light of the sun. Those, however, whom the climate has spared, will now be restored to their relatives. It is stated, that a Deputation from the •Soldiery waited upon President BOYER, at • Port-au-Prince, offering the aid of the military in a project of bring ing all the island under the sway of one Republican Government, of which he should remain the Chief. The Deputation was graciously received, and BOYER immediately detached ail his disposable force into the territory ;of the late:King CBRISTOPHE. It was calculated that, with the revolted troops, the Army would consist of from 15,000 to 20,000 men. We understand that the late Sir Home POPHAM, on his return from the Vest Indies, put Ministers in complete possession of the state of Hayti, and as sured them that a change might confidently be ex pected in September or October. W.; trust that those who are eagerly looking for ward to scenes of violence and bloodshed in Hayti, as likely to ensure the return of the Haytians to their ancient yoke, will be disappointed in their ex pectations. Fortunately the only blood hitherto shed is CIIRISTOPHE'S ; and, instead of being the cause of strife, there is every probability that the change will lead to a union of some sort between the two States. The soldiers of Hayti have shewn themselves not in ferior in public spirit and good feeling, to those of the South of Europe ; and they have afforded another proof, that when a crisis arrives, those who are en trusted with arms for a country's defence, can never so far forget their duty to their fellow-subjects, as to employ those arms for their destruction. The Naples Journals give - the. answer of Cardinal (;ot;saLvt, in the nth . oVthe Pons, t 6 the note of ' the Duke of Casss•Cimino, in behalf of the Nea politan Government,"concarning the passage which it was expected the Austrkans Sionld- attempt to mike through the tates•of the ,Chttrch; !n this the Car dinal states, that Q tit Helinesi could not but feet sensibliof the tone of displeasure assumed in the note of his Eicelleney ; but that with respect to the ob ject which had given rise to k, his Holiness had in structed him to reply, that he was ignorant till then that the Imperial and Royal Court of Austria ** about to cause its troops to be marched against the kingdom of Naples, not having made to him any instances respecting the supposed passage of the forces, nor any communication that could be construed into an intended war against Naples.— That in the Note addressed by the Imperial and Royal Court to the Governments of Italy, other mo tives were assigned for the descent of the Austrian troops into Venetian Lombardy, which were, those of protecting those countries from the changes that had happened in other places, preserving, with the exist ing state of things, peace and order in its own domi nions, and offering, in• the event of its being solicited, protection to those States of Italy who should de mand it. That otherwise, the inviolability of the Pontifical States, resting as 'it did, equally with the other European States, on the basis of the disposi tiuns of the Congress of Vienna, guaranteed by all, the great. Powers, Ms Holiness could not, for an in- 1 scant, doubt that the integrity of his dominions would be respected by every Government." Norfolk (United States) Papers arrived this morn ing to the 9th of November.—The following is an extract from the Watchman : " At this moment we have advice that] Queen's Town is on fire; and the calculation is, from the winds, that the whole of the town will be destroyed. " Since the death of TAMANAMMIA, King of the Sandwich Islands, we hear these has been a desperate battle fought, for the right uf succession to the Crown. It terminated in the dethronement of the young Prince, .son of the King, and the Queen-Mother reigns in his stead. This Idand was subdued with difficulty ; and though it submitted to Tiaimils.- scum, was never completely subjugated. Its *pops lation is said to be 70,000." Letters from Hanover mention an absurd rumour that the Castle of Herrenhausen has been fitted up in great haste for the reception of the QuEEN of ENGLAND. The Duchess of BEDFORD called yesterday at Bran denburgh-house. We may take this occasion to re mark, that an Evening Paper, which pretends to give s accurate liiti of the Ladies who visit the QUEEN, has omitted the names of the Countess FtTrwit.unki, the Marchioness of TA vtrrocK, and Lady On ur.sroN. We are informed, by a Ministerial Paper, of the appointment of her Grace the Duchess Dowager of DEVONSHIRE to be First Lady of the Bedchamber to her Majesty the QtrEEN. Now, although we were of opinion that on the abandonment of the odious Bill of Pains and Penalties, Lord LIVERPOOL might hope for the commiseration of the QUEEN, we confess we did not expect his interest would be exerted so effec tually as to ensure his Lady's sister so distinguished a place in her MAJESTY'S household.-7'inses. The Duke of MONTROSE, on going to Carlton Pa lace, on Saturday, was grossly insulted by a - number of ill-disposed persons, some of whom opened the carriage door, in Pall-Mall. Some Officers seeing' the situation of his Grace, immediately came to his assistance, and dispersed the assailants. The Requisition for the Meeting of the County of Berks has been transmitted by Lord FOLIeaTON6 to the High Sheriff. It is subscribed by nearly forty of the most respectable Magistrates and Freeholders of the County. The defaulter at the Stock Exchange, who re cently fled from England, has been arrested at Paris, and the greatest part of the £15,000, taken from his Banker's under a false pretence, recovered from him. Wednesday, the Ocean, transport, Lieut. HOYLE.% Agent, arrived at Portsmouth from the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena: left the Colony on the 24th of September, and the Island on the Ilth of No vember. BONAPARTE eras in tolerable good health, and had latterly taken much exercise in his car riage, but he was still very inaccessible to visitors. Admiral LASIERRT had not yet seen him.

To explain the matter, it is necessary to observe that the situationof Afternoon Lecturer had become vacant by the promotion of Mr. STEVENS (formerly Chaplain of the House of Commons) to the Deanery of Roches. ter. Six Clergymen were candidates to succeed him, and at the election last week, the Rev. Mr. SAUIF. oozes, of St. Ann's, Blackfriars, was the successful candidate: The Rev. Dr. FTNES, Prebend of Westmin ster .and Rector of St. Margaret's, has, however, re. fused to him, with the concurrence of the Church -. %wardens, the u%e of the pulpit, on the ground that Mr. SAIIIIDERS is one of those Clergymen called methodis tical. Yesterday afternoon the Church was crowded to excess. Mr. SAUNDERS was refused the'use of the Vestry, and Mr. RODSRR, the Morning Preacher, ap proached the pulpit to preach. Instantly loud hisses, yells, groans, and cries of " Shame, shame," pro ceeded from a great number of persons standing in' the aisles of the Church : a horrible confusion and alarm ensued : numbers sought their safety by get ting over the rails, particularly women and children, and taking refuge literally at the altar. The Beadles apprehended two persons after much contest. Seve . rap Ladies fainted, and a great number of persons quitted the Church. As soon as the uproar had somewhat abated the Rev. Mr. RODBER proceeded in the performance of his duty. No further interruption was offered to the service, and at the conclusion the Church clearedvery slowly, as some persons still ex pected that the Rev. Mr. SAUNDERS would address them, but that Gentleman did not make his ap pearance. Fit.sruzzic—Cla Tuesday evening last, Vickery, one of the Bow-street Officers, arrived in York, in quest of this man ; and, early the following morn ing, proceeded in a post chaise to Pocklington ; at which place a strict search was made for him, but, it was made in vain. Pocklington is the neighbour hood of his former residence, and he is well known in York, having been in the habit of paying it an °c at:load visit' but for what purpose we know not.

Mayor, Aldermen, and COMRIOII.I, of the City of London, Common Council assembled, feeling ourselves cadet! epea ly the exigencies of the times and country, beg leive mo humbly add respectfully to approach your Majesty, to express to your Majesty our profound regret at the measures pursued by your Majesty's a Misters, so contrary to the spirit of ,he British Constitution and the principles of universal justice, while they are subversive of the liberties and ttue li:renege at the Nation and of the honour and security of your Majesty's Throne. 0 The war which exhausted the wealth :oat ressierces of the country has loag since terminateci ; yet, during a period of pro found peace, we have seen no off..etual retrenchment in the pub lic expenditure, but loan after loan again resorted to for the sup port of useless and preposterous establishments—afferding the Means of the subjection of Parliament by the influence of Ali nisterial patronage, and the overawing of the People in the ex ercise of their just rights by unconstitutional military force. " The discontent thus created, we lament to statl 2 ', bas rot been counteracted by your Majesty's Ministers, either by just concessions or by such a liberal policy as is due to a free Teuple from their governors; but, on the contrary, the laws have beeps enforced with unprecedented severity, to the disgust and alarm of your Majesty's faithful subjects; and, instead of obtaining redress, coercive laws have been inuoduced into the Legislature by those very Ministers to uphold their own makidmini•tration. At the same time that the conduct of Ministers has tended to excite the dissatisfaction of your People,•and to exas?erate that dissatisfaction into acts of treason. those Ministers have so neg lected the Commercial and Agricultural Interests of the Nation, that it is at Length become difficult to determine which of these sources of. national prosperity is most impoverished ; aud, al though numerous Petitions of your Majesty's distressed subjects, from &limn every class of industry, have been presented in suc cessive pin's to the several branches of the Legislature, yet the People' remain without relief, or even the prospect of relief; and your Majesty's Ministers seem as unwilling, from indiffer ence as -from want of political skill, to apply the necessary re medies to such complicated evils. s‘ It JS with pain and reluctanCe that 'we allude to a subject which ought never to bare been forced upon public , attention; but the,. listjust and demoralizing proceedings ackuptMby your Majesty's • Ministers, relative to your Royal Consorf,.having. drawn forth the reprobation of the great body of the Tropic,. weshould be guilty of a - dereliction of •our ditty to your•Reyal Person and the interests of the Country,if we restiaitud oar expression of indignation at this flagrant outrage upon the moral and religious feelings . of the Nation, and forbore to represent to your Majesty this prominent instance of their utter disregard of public justice and of the honour of your Royal family. • " The corrupt inducement offered to her Majesty to remain abroad in the state of alleged criminality falsely ascribed to her; —the submitting to the House of Peers, after the House of Commons had pronounced the measure disappointing to the hopes of Parliament, derogatory from the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the bests interests of the Empire, the results of the disgraceful subornation procured under an odious Commit. lion ;—the attempt to degrade her Majesty, and in her the whole 'House of Brunswick, by an vs post facto law, unconstitutional In its nature and operation ;—the mockery of justice, in uniting on the one hand, the functions of Accusers, Judges, and Jury, 'in the same persons, and withholding on the other the means of defence—and all the preliminary steps leading to these disgrace ful proCeedings;—the - employment. of foreign Ministers and Agents ,--the hiring of spies, corrupting of menials, and prejudg ing her Majesty by the omission of her name in the Liturgy, and the 'withdrawing hei from the public prayers of the People; and lastly, after the defeat of their malignant effort*, the arbitrary see sumption of the sight of continuing to.her,Majesty, on their own authority, an allowtnte out of the public money during the sitting of Parliament, and the advising the abrupt prorogation of that Parliament to prevent inquiry into these iniquitous proceedings, and to obstruct her Majesty's appeal to the Representatives of the People —are, severally, acts of perfidious and mischievous policy Which we feel persuaded never could receive your Ma jesty's countenance bat through the abuse of your royal confi dence and which demand the immediate dismissal of those un worthy Ministers, • the contrivers and conductors of so foul a conspliacy. " We beg leave humbly to assure your Majesty, that Hose representations are dictated by our sincere attachment to that Constitution which seated your Majesty's august family on the Throne of these Realms, by a sincere devotion to your Majesty's person, and by an anxious desire to promote the future glories of your reign; and in this spirit we conjure your Majesty, by an auspicious change of councils and measures, to re-unite the great family of the British People who have long been divided, insulted, and oppressed, and which would continue your Ma jesty on a Throne, secured by their just affection, and rendered no less glorious by the boundless resources of their industry. " We, thereftre, humbly pray your Majesty.to dismiss from your presenee . ina councils, for ever, those Ministers whose pet nide= measures have se long endangered the Throne, under mined the Constitution, and blighted the prosperity of the Nation. " Signed, by Order of the Court, " HENRY WOODTHORPE" • To which his MAJESTY was pleased to return the following Answer: It has been with the most painful feelings that Ihave hears the sentiments contained in the Address and Petition now p- , _ _ _ _ sented to me by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Cozni - aon Council of the City of London. " Whatever may be the motives of those by whom it is brought fozward, its evident tendency is to inflame the passiocs and mislead the judgment of the unwary and less enlightened part of my subjects, and thus to aggravate all the difficulties with which we have to contend." Yesterday Divive Service was performed at a e Kino's Palace in Pall-Mall, by the Rev. Dr. STANILa CLARKE. Yesterday the Duke of YORK visited the KING. Should the.succession to the Throne ever open to the infant daughter of his Royal Highness the Dnkc of CLARENCE, England will have a second Euz METH for its Queen. His MAJESTY had doubtless this in view in desiring that the Royal Infant should be so named. Should the anticipation be realized, may future historians be able to say, that se ith the name, the days of " Good Qua Um" are back again ! f POOLE, DECEMBER 9. It Meeting of the Corporation was held here yes terday, for the purpose of voting a loyal Address to his MAJESTY, which, however, was not numerously attended. An Address, replete with expressions of zeal and attachment, having been proposed, the fol lowing Amendment was moved by CHRIsTOPLIER SPURRIZE, Esq. While we commend the prudence which dictated the with drawing the late Bill of Pains and Penalties, we cannot help deeply lamenting that the feelings of the Nation should have been so wantonly outraged by the introduction into the Upper House of Parliament of a measure so derogatory to the honour and dignity of the Crown; so injut lous to Kingly government in general; so inimical to the best principt; of our boasted Constitution ; and ftatight, moreover, with so great and such ' imminent danger to the internal peace and tranquillity of the country; we also cannot help regarding your Majesty's Minis ters, who are constitutionally responsible for the introduction cif this dangerous and mischievous Bill, as the greatest enemies to your Majesty's Person and Family ; and we fervently hope that your Ma jesty will mark your personal disapprobation of their conduct, by excluding them from your Majesty's Counsels and presence for ever. This being seconded by a most respectable Gentle-. man, a Member of the Corporation, an animated discussion ensued, at the close of which the Amend ment was negatived, the numbers being 16 for it, and 21 for the original Address. Seven Gentlemen connected with the department of -the Customs, and one a Commissioner of the Lottery, are included in the majority. A Meeting of the Inhabitants,con vened by the High Sheriff of the Town and County, is to be held on Monday, for the purpose of address ing his MAJESTY. His MAJESTY has been pleased to order One Hun dred Guineas to be paid to the subscription for the widows and orphans of the six riggers, who were un fortunately drowned on the 9th ult. when on their re turn to the Dock-yard, from the Isle of Wight. A. woman of the name of MIYMFORD, in the Mino- 1 ries, has, within these few days., paid the debt of nature at the advanced age of 108 ! She retained all her faculties to the last.
