COURT OF PEERS—Nov. 22. Baron Pasquier, President. _le. Ovation against M. Kergortay, Es-Peer Prance, of M. Brian, Editor of the " Qacilidienne," MM. Genowle and Leibis, Editors of the " - Gazelle ale France." At an early hour the public Court was filled itt every part ; a num ber of ladies, dressed in the extreme of the fashion, were amongst the auditory. M. le Comte dc Kergorlay, who was the object of general curiosity, is an old man, of short stature, and quite bald ; his demeanour was per fectly unostentatious and collected. ?A. de Brian is a man in the prime of life, but his countenance is unexpressive. M. Genonde is a middle-sized man, of a compact form ; he has a pat t icularly mild and interesting countenance. Lubis is a very tall man, and appears younger than the two former; he wore mustachios, hair on the under-lip, and his whiskers ala Ilenri 111. Guessing from his countenance, people would say that he was a son of early France. 31. Berryer, jun. was employed to conduct the defence of Count liert,orlay ; M; Guillemini in that of M. Brian ; and M. liennequin appeared for MM. Genonde and Lubis. The President questioned the accused as to their names, professions, 3r.d residences. M. de Kergorlay replied in these terms :—I am called Louis Florian Paul, Count de Kergorlay, Peer of France, aged 61 years, residing in Pan.. at No. 102, Rue St. Dominique. Thy other defendants having stated their names, professions, and of abode, The President reminded the Counsel that, according to the 291st article of the Code of Instruction, they were bound to express them. selves with propriety and moderation, to say nothing against their con. science, or against the respect due to the laws. The Secretary of the Archives having called over the names of the peers who,were present, at the suggestion of the Resident the Court retued to the Council Chamber. COURT OF PEERS, Nov. 23. At twelve o'clock the Court met in a Secret Committee to deliberate on the guilt or innocence of Count de Hergorlay and the Editors of the Quotitlimits and Garen' de France. At half.past four the public had not been admitted. From what we could collect the sentence will not be known until 7or 8 in the evening. After the general deliberation had closed, each Peer was called upon to express his vote in a loud and audible voice, and to adduce reasons in support of it. About one third of the members had gone through that process at half-past four o'clock, when M. Leine occupied the tri bune. The Noble Peer had already spoken for three quarters of an hour—no intelligence as to the result had transpired. A peer humour. ously answered to our inquiries that the decision was comas, trn aeeow chentetd, and that it was likely to be a very protracted one. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Nov. 23. M. Dupin (Vice-President) took the chair at one o'clock, but, u usual, the Chamber did not proceed to business until about two o'clock. M. Isambert presented a report of the Committee appointed to exa mine the project adopted by the Chamber of Peers for the repression of )(fences against the King and the Legislature. Its object was to amend the disposition of the former Legislation, and to substitute for therights claimed by DIVINZ right, which no one (said he) acknowledges, or wishes to acknowledge, those invoked by Louis XVIII. in virtue of the rights of his ancestors—those which the present King holds exclusively from the fret will of the people. The Chamber decided that the discussion tithe proposed law should take place on Thursday next. The examination of the accounts of 1828 wee then resumed. M. Gautier read a long speech, in which he combated the principle of specially which the Committee entrusted with the examination of the accounts proposed to introduce hereafter into the expenses of the State. 11. Duvergier de Flauranne agreed with the committee, that without speciality there is always confusion and disorder, yet he was not of opi nion that it could be introduced at present into the expenses. 31. l'hiers, Commissary of the King, said that the administration (adopting and wishing to consecrate the salutary principle of speciality) had reque s ted of hi m t o ma k e it s i ntent i ons k nown to t h e Ch am b er . He consequently proposed to postpone to a period, not very remore, the adoption of the dispositions suggested by the Committee. He declared that the Government was now occupied with a great work—a sort of code of responsibility, in which the principle of speciality would naturally find its place. " The Ministers , ' continued M. Thiers, "are sincere in this proposition. You may rely upon their desire to intro duce the greatest regularity into the accounts of the State. Tbey hate now no obstacle to encounter from routine; it may happen; however, that the means may not assist the intentions, but these shall be sincere and complete." Colonel Paixhans, M. Jacques Lefevre, and 111. Thiers, severally spoke on the question of speciality ; after which the Chamber adopted the additional article proposed by the Committee—viz. " That for the future the budget of each ministry shall be divided into special chap ters; and each chapter shall be confined to objects of the same nature." FRENCH FUNDS.

A letter from Foix, of the 14th 7 Nov. the contents of which deserve entire confidence, says," Gen. querrea hat returned to the department of Arriege with about 400 re. ogeet, and he was only waiting for aid from the Government to proceed • the interior of France with his companions." The Committee appointed by the Chamber of Peers to examine the roject of law telative to the journals and periodicals, being informed !het the managers of several journals appear to have some observations to make, will hear those who will appear before them at the Luzern. burg, on the .24th of November, at one o'clock. (From the Meuager dee Chambres, dated Tuesday.) nate, Nov. 22. We have not repeated, like other journals, an article from the Ca. toe of Anystm rg, announcing considerable movements of troops in the North of Europe, because our private correspondence contained oothing confirroit.g diem. accounts, and because the article of the German Journal bon: no marks of authenticity. Further inquiries which we have wade on the mit.i i . ct , ena bl e us now to announce that no power in the North mins to Lace changed in any manner ha pacific intentions, and that the alarm that the reading of the article in question might have ere. aced, would have hull without foundation. A morning Jouroal rotated out yesterday to the attention of the Go vernment,disturhances which had broken out at Blois, in the absence t,f the Prefect. These troubles had not escaped the vigilance of the 3 1inister, and :If. de Lezay Mimesis, Prefect of the Loire and Cher, had immediately received orders to set out for Blois, and repaired to los post without delay. From the Journal dee Delaie. ENGLISH ADMINISTRATION. The new ministry enter upon general policy with new Ideas, and con. • , 'quently they will make new efforts. The affairs of Europe will not dodt of delay, or the adoption of habits which have penned too long 1 , . London. (heat measures will not stop u if by enchantment, merely cause they have a change in the administration la the metropolis England. tin the contrary, the business of Dolma Is on the I oint t.f receiving that triumphant revulsion which has been Fro ..t•ced by the policy of interest, opposed to the policy of ssethaen. The alliance against liberal ideas must bring forth opposition to theories. What can we say will be the result of the ministerial revolution brought about in England ? Whether it will be a safe guarantee fur the main tenance of peace we know not—for it is reasonable to expect there will soon be something more than the clashing of ideas in Europe. Im portant interests must start up, and we cannot avoid thinking that Eng land, which, under the Duke of Wellington, could not make war with out opposing the principles of our revolution, and meeting obstacles almost insurmountable, will now run with more freedom to arms, under a Ministry released from the shackles of rancour and hatred of national independence. There is at present no prospect that the happy harmony now maintained among the various Cabinets is likely to be broken; but we must say, we ace with sonic pain, in the late events of England, an excess of confidence with respect to the peace of Europe. DISTURBANCES. (From the Coastitutionnet.) Serious riots have taken place in the neighbourhood of Perpignan, in the communes of Pia and Elve. A shepherd had received several stabs, in an attack made upom him in his own house ; the mayor had interposed in vain, his authority being quite superseded. Next day the king's attorney and the judge of instruction proceeded to Pia, ac. companied by two brigades of gendarmerie ; on their arrival the rioters assembled at the sound of the drum, and took up arms. The gendar merie retired, but next day 130 soldiers were marched into the com munes, it remained in a state of commotion during the whole night. It was then resolved to arrest the ringleaders,when they should cohre to Perpignan on private business, and three individuals from Pia, and some from Elve, having been arrested in this manner, tranquillity has been completely restored. All these disorders are to be attributed to the spirit of reaction which has manifested itself among the country people since the revolution of July. The Communes of Pia and Elve had been horribly oppressed at the second restoration, their attachment to the principles of 1789 having excited the animosity of the emigrants,and of the satellites of the counter revolution. All the inhabitants were disarmed by the ultras, some incar cerated, others banished. It is to be hoped that all the true friends of li berty, who possess any influence in that part of the department, will make the people feel that order is the first want of every free government ; that all tumults can but be detrimental to the happiness of their own families, and that tranquillity at home should distinguish the present revolution from all those which have preceded it. On the other hand, it excites astonishment in that district, that while Spain shows so little respect for our frontiers, the department should be almost without any military force. Several violations of territory have recently taken place. The military force there is now less than it ever has been in ordinary times. It is time that France, while she proclaims the principle of non. intervention, should be, by the presence of a sufficient force, in a state to repel all such inroads. EXPRESS FROM RRMSELS. BRUSSELS, Nov. 22. NATIONAL CONGRESS. BITTING OF NOV. 20. [The debate concerning the form of government to be adopted in Bel gium was continued.] Some 31embers spoke in favour of a constitutional monarchy. M. Devaux spoke in favour of a republic, as moat economical. The Abbe de Haerire also spoke in favour of a republic. Monarchy, with republican Institutions, as is proposed, is founded on too hetero. genus and conflicting principles ; the sovereignty of the people and he. reditary power ; the King is inviolable, the people are also inviolable. Let us imagine what will become of these two kinds of inviolability op posed to each other. It will be better to come to a republic at once, than to be hurried into it in the sequel. AU the ideas of Europe are directed towards a Republican Government ; divine right will revive in the republic. Belgians ate not Gallicans, but Catholics: by adopting the Republic we shall set an example useful to France. The union of the Liberals and the Catholics will save the world, if the world can be saved. The mixed form will force the Government to make concessions unfavourable to the Catholics. Do you suppose that under such a Go vernment the clergy will enjoy the right to acquire property, that reli gions societies will be at liberty to form themselves ? Several other members having spoken, M. Robaulx said, the Repub. Scans must be discouraged by the majority which appears against them in the Chamber, if they were not supported by what hu passed in the Legislative Assembly of a neighbouring country, where the voices of a dozen deputies were overwhelmed by four hundred opposite votes. Yet experience has proved that the 12 men were in the right, and the ma jority in the wrong. The shame of having abandoned us will recoil upon them.—(From all sides—Oh, oh 0 M. Robaulx t yes, the shame. —(Order, order ! Great agitation in the assembly.) M. de Stassart cries, the shame, Sir, the shame ! Have you duly weighed all the indecorum of this expression ? The shame ! There is no shame in fulfilling a duty, in speaking according to one's conscience. M. Nagelmakers, at the desire of the President, spoke on the call to order. He said it is an offence to the assembly to consider as shameful the expression of an opinion, no matter what it may be, provided it is conscientious. M. Van Snick..—M. de Robaulx alludes to me; he means to accuse me of having changed my opinion in consequence of the speech of M. Destriveaux, A Voice There is nothing but what is honourable in that. M. IRobaulz—No ; it was not to M. Van Snick in particular that my expressions were addressed. I did not mean to offend anybody ; my idea was to predict to our adversaries that they would one day per agre their error ; but I did not mean to reproach them with either bad faith or want of conviction. The President--To abandon an error, or even to change our opinion, Is note shame. (Bravo.) I think, that among ourselves we ought to be indulgent; and I hope that the Chamber will not order this incident to be inserted in the Journals of the proceedings. From all sides.—No, no. M. Itobaulx seemed to be moved, and said—lf you wish it, I will conclude.—(From all sides, no, no; proceed.) M. de Robaulx pro. ceeded. It seems, that the fear of foreign intervention has influenced the opinion of the partisans of monarchy ; but let them make themselves easy. Europe is on a volcano ; all France watches over us ; even though the diplomatic note, emanating from the congress at London, did not dispel all alarms. The only point which divides us is whether the chief shall be hereditary or temper try, for at the bottom we are all republicans. The speaker endeavour, d to show the disadvantages of a constitutional monarchy, which he declared to he the worst of all governments, being in a state of continual hostility between the different powers of the state. Several other members leaving inscribed their names to speak upon the question, the president said, " We ought not to precipitate our deci. sion ; all Europe has its eyes fixed upon us." He accordingly proposed to adjourn the debate till Monday at ten o'clock. Austria,. Nov. 19.—1 t seems certain that serious disorders took place yesterday In the citadel. We do not precisely know the cause of them, but they probably proceed from the dissatisfaction of the troops there. It was reported this morning that Prince Frederick is in the ci- tadel with the famous Gen. Chasse. If this news is true, what is he going to do there ? MOVEMENTS OF THE DUTCH SQUADRON. Several loaded vessels and lighters hare arrived and anchored near our citadel. At four o'clock in the afternoon preparations for departure are observed on board several ships of war. Nov. 20.—This morning at six o'clock the Proserpine corvette weighed and left our road, as well as the Bedtime corvette, stationed at Austinweel t the Eurydice trigs. eis also preparing to depart. Thus we shall have before the city, only the Comet, 18, and the little brig Glee of 8 guns. The three vessels that leave us carry in all 112 guns. BRUSSELS, Nov. 21. Oca. Vail Helen and his two aid-decamps were set at liberty the day before yesterday at 10 o'clock at night. They immediately set out for Brusseis.—(4 l l Brussels Journal says they arrived here the day before yesterday.) Il'e learn that a pamphlet, by M. de Potter, is on the point of being published. "We spoke yesterday," says the Journal o/ the Province of Liege, "of the union of the Rhenish Provinces with Belgium. A tra veller, who has just passed through those provinces, assures us that the inhabitants of that country would be very glad to belong to Belgium. —The exchange of these Provinces for Saxony, would render Prussia more compact, and would double the extent of Belgium. Austria might oppose this plan, because It would make Prussia an im mediate neighbour of Bohemia. However this be, the Prussians are generally persuaded that Saxony will, sooner or later, be united to Prussia, either voluntarily or by force. In a commercial point of view, France, u a neighbour. would derive great advantages from the ag grandiannent of Belgium, as by making a treaty of commerce with that country, it must find advantageous markets for its productions.—Brne. eels Papers, Nov. 22. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Curtow ro.x.—The new Administration afford an earnest of their intention to effect all practicable retrenchment in the public service, by abolishing the place of Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, the uselessness of which we were at the pains of exposing, on occasion of the nomination to that once of its late occupant. The union of the Mint with the Board of Trade is also an important saving, to say nothing of the Lieutenant- Generalship of the Ordnance, which, in accordance with the recom mendation of the Finance Committee (so wantonly rejected by the late Cabinet), is to be reduced. It la also the intention of Ministers to reduce their own salaries to the extent, we are Informed, of one-third. The accounts of the Vice Treasurer of Ireland are to be brought to a close in the course of a couple of months ; meanwhile, the duties are to be per formed without remuneration. It is rumoured that Mr. Doherty is to succeed Mr. Joy in the Attorney-Oeneralsbip of Ireland. Tinzs.--A question has sprung up on the subject of the abolition of rotten boroughs, whether the proprieton of such places ought not to be indemnified on their disfranchisement. We have been frequently called upon by letter to give our opinion upon this point, and shall therefore give it frankly. We answer, yes t they ought to be indem nified and we will give an instance in point. A noble lord is said to have just paid to an honourable baronet upwards of 160,0001. for a rotten borough, not far from town. The affair is indeed so public, th-t the House of Commons is at once disgraced if it does not take it up. And the props.r way to indemnify his lordship and those of whom he has bought the borough is, by sending them all to Newgate for a breach of privilege. This is the way in which we would indemnify all the dealers in the rights of the people for the loss of their infamous trade. HZRALD.—Let it be the object of Government, as soon as the au thority of the laws shall have been successfully vindicated against the authority of lawless intimidation, to inquire into the causes of the misery which has driven vast masses of the rural population into a state of desperate resistance to established Government. The causes, we believe, will be ascertained without any very long or labourious inquiry—bu' to supply the remedy -hie tohor, hoc opus eat. How to afford employ- mem, and adequate remuneration for that employment, to the labour ing classes of the country situated as England now is, presents no onli. nary difficulty to the mind of a statesman. With a taxation which, when we take the enhancement In the value of the currency effected by " Peel's Bill," is more than equal to that of the war, and with a state of prices that only suits tile lowest rate of taxation of a peace esta blishment, the farmer is clearly unable to pay adequate wages to his labourers, and yet discharge his obligations in tent, tithe, and taxes, without being ruined. The proprietors of the soil, if they wish to pre serve their property from ultimate destruction, must therefore come for ward, and, wail: they make an equitable abatement of rent to the far mer, allow such small allotments of land on the lowest possible terms to the poor as will afford them some chance of supporting themselves and families by honest industry, and independently of the parish funds...- The Clergy should also lower their tithe to a level with the state of prices. It is better to throw a part of the cargo overboard, than that the ship should sink with the whole to the bottom. In the mean time it is the duty of the Governnsent to lighten the burdens of the country, by making such reductions in tile expenses of the State, as will allow of an important diminution of taxation. POST.—The consistency of the Whigs never fails to be conspicu ously displayed on whatever subject may arise out of the State of Politics for the time being. Thus, when they are out of office, they arc the most boisterous advocates of the Liberty of the Press ; but when in office the exercise of that liberty is a punishable breach of pri vilege, as far as it regards the most important of its functions, that of freely animadverting upon the language and conduct of the Repr.sen. calves of the people assembled in Parliament. In illustration of this melancholy truth, we might fill many of our columns with extract• horn the speeches of the leading Whigs in both Houses of Parliament ; but .1 we have no room to devote to KO revolting a purpose, it may be sufficient for us to quote the observation made by one of the most re spectable Whigs of the present day (Sir James Mackintosh) In 1113 angry reply to the able and unanswerable speech of Mr. Croker in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, upon the subject of the ex. traordinary, not to say reprehensible conduct of the new Lord Chancel for. The worthy Knight, on this occasion, feeling that nothing could be effectually said in answer to the forcible observations of Mr. Croker, was reduced to the necessity of having recourse to the aid of Parlia mentary privilege, a gross breach of which this IVhig champion of the Liberty of the Press contended had been committed by a Provincial Journal, in quoting and animadverting upon the language of a member of the House of Commons in his place.—So much for Whig principles and consistency ! Canonic LE.—We arc sorry to see from them that the Dutch are sa crificing themselves for no other reason than that their obstinate old king is still determined to fight. The Minister of } inance, in the meeting of the Second Chamber of the States-General. in urging the Law of Finance, said, " ' To be or not to be' :is now the qnestion— that the preservation and independence of the country were to be secured and that for this purpose a speedy supply of funds was indispensable." The Law was agreed to by a majority of 47 to 3. We may well be al. lowed to ask why the security of the country is endangered ? The Dutch say they wish a separation from Belgium ; the Belgians with to have no connection with Holland. It appears, then, that the only reason why the Dutch arc exposed to this danger is, that their Ring will not abandon a claim to the sovereignty of Belgium. And what is the con sequence ? The Belgians, a more numerous and more warlike people, have invaded Holland ; and the rich, but effemi nate Dutch, are in their distress obliged to have recourse to the brave mountaineers of Switzerland, who, to the number of 7,000, are about to descend the Rhine, and have already le ft Basle on their way to Cologne, in steam-boats . The militia in Maestricht, since' the capture of Venloo, have been disarmed ; and the population is only constrained by the fear of the fate of Antwerp. Such is the state of feeling in the fortresses of Belgium yet retained by the Dutch. On the other hand, the Belgians are availing themselves of the brave maritime population of the English coast, with a view to privateer. log, and throwing the Dutch merchants Into alarm. The seafaring people of England are not, perhaps, strictly justified, any more thin the Swiss, in taking part in this warfare; but they will not the less embark in enterprises consonant to their habits, and which promise booty. Thus, then, the people of the Seven United Provinces are reduced to so degraded a condition, that, to gratify the obstinacy of an old man and a few venal courtiers, they have the meanness and the folly to expose their country to destruction. When a people b e . I come so lost to all that is good and noble, their doom is scaled. Tests.—The fire of Willingham, in Cambridgeshire, we should apprehend to be the work of some single, or some few incendiaries, and proceeding from private malice, rather than from any ramified conspi racy or organised system; and, for our own parts, we have little doubt but that among the many conflagrations, springing certainly from what may be called public principle of a diabolical nature—from banded incendiaries, —some few have been kindled frum the same motive as that at Willingham,which arc so many added to the number, and in a pro. portionate degree increasing the alarm. It is a good opportunity for those who have private malice to avenge themselves, under the covering of a general feeling. The reports of conflagrations, though continuing, are, we think, of a more scattered and less alarming nature yesterday than the preceding days. Some hay and clover has been burned, and more thrashing machines broken ; but the heroic conduct of a body of labourers in the vicinity of Winchester, acting under the Rev. Mr. Wright, the rector of ltchen Abbas, merits the highest applause, and we hope will meet with imitation. THE .4R.11 The 28th Regiment, now at Galway, is newly recruited, and presents a very fine body of young men. 'C he 87th Regiment, from Mullingar, are to replace the 87th Fusilccrs at Newry and Armagh. The reserve companies of the 91st Regiment daily expect the route from Langholm to Glasgow. A Military Court of Inquiry has been held into the conduct of the Lieutenant wbo eloped from Limerick garrison, under revolting circum stances ; the result of which is, that several sworn depositions have been forwarded to the Judge-Advocate-General, in order to institute ulterior proceedings. Capt. Mitchell's company 58th Regiment. arrived in Limerick on Friday from Kthitsh, to join head-quarters, pa the steamer Kingstown. On the sth October, Lieut. Stuart Mackay, of his Majesty's 32d Rcgi. ment, put an end to his existence at Quebec, by cutting with a razor his throat from ear to car. It was in evidence at the Coronet's inquest that Lieut. Mackay had laboured for several years under the influence of lu. naey and delirium trailers; when in a perfect state of mind he was reported an excellent soldier. Ilia remains were interred at Quebec on the Bth with military honours, the entire garrison being in attendance. NAVAL INTELLIGENCA.

CANTESBURY, Tuzsuat EvEstuo.—Another fire took place about nine o'clock last night; the flames suddenly arose from two Lag,: clover stacks : the combustion must have been occasioned by die intro duction of some chemical compound into the stacks, as the top% were driven off witb a considerable explosion. They were wholly dertro3 c,l They were the property of Mr. White, of Fleming Farm, in the parbli of Winsborough, between Ash and Eastry, a short distance from th • town of Deal. On Thursday morning last a large seed sainfoin stack of considc Table value, was maliciously set fire to, at a farm in the occupation of Mr. Coveney, at Lcysdown, in tint Isle of Sheppy—it was totally cot,.. sumed. A large barn adjoining was on tire three times, but ol.i. mately saved by the exertions of the peasantry. Last night a large body of labourers again assembled at Alien Grange, about a mile north of Minster, in the Isle of Thanet, the resi dence ot . George Hannan), F.‘q. and suceeded in destroying two or dim! machines. Letters continue to be sent to the farmers in almost every village around this city, threatening destruction to their premises and property if they do not yield to the demands of the tithe collectors. They are all signed by the übiquitous unknown " Swing." INCENDIARIES IN LINCOLNSHIRE. It is with feelings of regret that we announce that this abominable and atrocious crime has spread into this hitherto peaceable cerinty. On Friday morning, about one o'clock, some villain maliciously set fit, to two bean stacks, containing about 30 quarters, and two stacks of hay car.tain!ng 18 loads, belonging to Mr. John Wilson, of Stickford : most of which property was consumed, although Mr.Wilson'a neighbours ac tively exerted themselves in extinguishing the flames. Surely we shall rot hear of any further attempts being made. An incendiary we hold to be one of the vilest creatures in existence, his efforts produce nothing but ruin and desolation, and he has not the excuse of even the thief who steals to prolong a ini-crable existence. We wish every one of our readers to bo impressed with the tact that the destrucdon of property can do no good, and must do great injury. If the poor man is aggrieved let him state his wrongs, and the public will support him against oppres. sion. But let him not widen the breach between himself and his cm. ployer. To destroy corn belonging to the farmers will only exasperate thou. and tend to bring on a scarcity, high prices, and even famine ; and what does the poor man gain by this desperate resource; do the smoulderine ruins benefit him ? Are the tears of those made desolate by his wickedne s s pleasing to his sight? Does the loud and universal execratiou of all good men sound pleasing to his ears ? Oh, no !if he has any portion of humanity left lie must regret when it is too late. We repeat that an incendiary is one of the vilest and most hateful ezert. tures in existence : other crimes may have some palliatives, but this has roue.—Ltortou Gazette. EIERKSHiItL READISG, Nov. 24.—Affairs are daily assuming, in this part of the country, a more serious aspect. The conduct of the men is more outra geous, and their proceedings discover a greater degree of organiza tion than heretofore ; whilst their system of levying contributions en the gentry, the tradespeople, and passengers in the highway. by the display of sledge hammers, and other formidable weapons. uy threats, and even by violence, threaten the country, unless some decisive mem. sure, be instantly adopted, with that most horrible of all civil dissen. sions—a servile war. The inhabitants of those districts of Berkshire and Hampshire which have been the theatre of the late commoticess, are in as much alarm as if a civil war were really raging there. A very numerous meeting of the magistrates of this county, convened by the High Sheriff, took place this day at the County Hall; the High Sheriff in the Chair. They remained in consultation from twelve to four ; the subject and the result of their deliberations are not known : the meeting was strictly confined to the magistracy. A small detachment of the Foot Guards are here, and a company of the Lancers proceeded this morning to Speen and Newbury. The last-mentioned places have been the scene of great disord,r. Rintbury, Thatcham, Welford, Hungerfoed, and other districts, have been visited by the mob, who it is supposed have collected considerable sums of money, besides provisions. Lord Craven was induced to give a party who paid him a visit 101. or IM. and the same bad exam; lz was given by the Rev. Mr. Fowke, a magistrate. The circumstance which immediately gave rise to the assemblage. in this part was trifling. A man was put into the cage, or " blindbouse, - as it is called ; a fellow named Norris, a disorderly character, attempted to release him, and being prevented by the constable, he collected a few others, like himself, and broke open the cage. They thus formed a nucleus, around which all the dissolute, disorderly, and discontented congregated; and this Norris is the ostensible leader sad treasurer of the gang. This circumstance dearly shows the state and temper of the labourers, and their aptitude to revolt ; and it is unfortunately too true, that wl a - - ever may have been the exciting cause of the explosion, the remote and primary causes are to be found in the depressed condition of the labour. ing poor in this county, and the grinding system to which they have been for a considerable time exposed, and which seems to have ban pro. ductive of more severe suffering than elsewhere. About thirty-five years ago (in the year 1795) the magistrates drew up a scale of allowances to the labourers, graduated according to the price of the gallon loaf of second flour, and which seems to have been amply sufficient (and was recognized by the magistrates to be not more than sufficient) for the sustenance of the labourer and his family, where he had one. This schedule was some years ago broken in upon, for the purpose of reducing the rates of allowance; and sub sequently the allowances doled out by the select vestries, which Mom the act of 1822 have superseded the wholeaotr.e authority of the ma gistrates in this particular, have been, according to the lowest esto putation, utterly insufficient for the support of labouring, men. The consequence is, that, to say nothing of clothing, medidine, lodging, and other supetiluities, the men and their families have bash sere. rally speaking, in a state bordering upon starvation. This, it must be observed, is not a representation universally correct, there being certain descriptions of labourers better paid, .end certain employers who are more liberal than others. These exceptions an barrass those who endeavour to apply remedies to the existing disor ders, by suggesting that low wages are not the cause of these disorders. But this fact, I believe, is incolitiovertible,—that no insurrection of well. paid servants has occurred ; ar.d the discontented, idle, disorderly, and dissolute, of whom the rioters are composed. have been in a great measure rendered so by the severe rind demoralizing influence of the poor.laws, unwisely and injuriously adimulstered. The most alarating part of the case is, that the landowners, and I fear :he magistracy, arc not disposed to concession, but calculate upon putting down these tumults by force, and by military force. That pll. laze and highway robbery must be supprtsted at all hasardsla cert.l.lly true; but it is not only worth the experiment to try how far conciliiittcn and a readiness to comp) , with the reasonable demands of the men, will succeed here as they have succeeded elsewhere ; but the local authoii. ties ought to be sensible that, by placing the military in the front. and attempting to trample down the elastic reristance to po.itive suffn they are approaching a very dangerous precipice, front which were. Is no receding ; when blood is once shed by the soldiery, the cliar.sctsr of the contest will be entirely changed. It may be said that the magistracy cannot r: ly upin the civil power they pospess ;.—that individuals. interested in the preservation of the peace. actually refuse to be 1. %urn in as special constables to preserve it, which is the fact. But this circumstance should instil into the Peal authetilies an aMlitionAl degree of c-ution, for it shows that thew is a very extensive commiseration for cut siticer.ngs 44 those, who, in a legal point of view, are criminal. - - - - • • • • - • It is to he feared that the local magivracy ere unavoidably 60 Ear inter. to eti, is landowners,landlords,and t t beholders,in the ,ratter in di•pu e. as to be, in some casts, initit need by the natural desire to secure thetuselves from the effects of claims. which they foresee, if conceded, will eventually fall upon themselves.
