There can no lonr,er be any doubt ofithedittieioa of opini Ott in the Cabinet. The Premier, in his retire mew at WAhner Castle, has been followed by his Lord II tRROA MT and 31h% CANNINU. From that place it is expected the party will make their /Nal de , lora flux. When the artifice of getting up the ultra-to}-el Adritesses to the KING was conceived, it was not Jiff. rust to anticipate the character of its fruits. The Addreves to the QUEEN had been distinguished by an indrpendeut, liberal, and truly constitutional spirit. '1 bad 'prong from a generous sympathy towards an exalted and persecuted individual of the Royal nee; they bad been accompanied with the most striking deno.n,tratlons of attachment to the laws of the country, as well as to the person of the illustrious soferer ; and these demonstrations had been made to au extent, and with an unanimity, animation, and order, without a parallel in the display of popular feel:ng. It was impossible not to be struck with the unusual evidences, both of mind and heart, which were manifested by the numerous bands that took an interest in the late proceedings. Independent of the appearance of those in easy circumstances and of cultivated habits, there were even in the promiscuous crowds a decorum and a manliness of character that inspired way lover of his country with pride and hope, and every enemy to political improvement with chagrin and fear. The very virtues of the people became occa• Mons for alarm ; and their nobler spirit was, at all events, to he counteracted and suppressed. On the Ministers gis lug the word, their servile agents in the corporate towns, and those that profit from their taxes through t'oe tountry, were set to procure Addresses to the Throne, in which the disposition of the people was oust basely calnntniated. The hachnied, thread-bare e p ithets of infidelity and sedition are again applied, vial more barefaced falsehood and audacity than ever, to those emotions of the nation which have been die- Cuguishesl above all other periods, for the rectitude of their motives and the propriety and excellence of their ecpressions and aims. To expose the injustice, the us' %chief, and the impolicy of Ministers, and to implore the Km: to remove them from Isis councils, are ads that are branded with the charges of disloyalty and almost rebellion ; but let it be remembered by whom it is that these charges are made. It le by the Ministers themselves, whose conduct is it pugned by the nation ; it is by their master whom answers to Addresses they prepare ; it is by their adherents and agents who retail the cant of office. and arrogantly calumniate the people, on ths fruits of whose industry they live. Unt let the pee ple continue firm, united and peaceable, and the acerb of their enemies will be of no avail. Every day af fords ns proof, that in every open meeting, the spirit of corruption is subdued by the voice of independence, To the example of Frome and Gosport, and of other place., we may add the instance in another of our columns, which has come within our knowledge to day. The contents of the Paris papers, which hare arrived to the lOth inst., are unimportant. FRINCII Festos.—Fire per cents. 77 f. 90 c.—Bank Actions, 1415 f.. --- HATA:MAL—The Captain of the brig Columbia arrived a,t Philadelphia, Informs, that he sot going in a Ilene 15 sail, including 3 frigates and 2 corvettes, the rest Merchantmen.

Slaves who are convicted of crimes in several of the British colonies, and ordered to be transported, are carried by speculators, and sold in the Floridan. In tete coarse of time the Florida. will become a second Botany Bay, if the practice is not discontinued.— (Boston Gazette). A rumour has prevailed for some days at 3fadtid that the Duke de l'lnfantado is to be banished to the Island of friea. At Gibraltar, the derision of the Spanish Govern ment bad givtn great satisfaction, the merchants and intim* expecting** reap much advantage from it. From the 26th of August to the tlth October, there have entered into the port of Cronstadt, 250 merchant' vessel,. Among the number are 6 American, 144 English, 12 Dutch, 16 Danish, IS Lubeck, 2 Aletlin. I burg,!

The Fonds hare experienced some depression this morning. Consols for the account which were yes terday done at 71. have this morning been done at 70$. There is very little business doing, to which, and the plentifulness of money, the late rise may be attri buted ; money is now getting rather scarce, and to wards the close of the year will, as is generally the case, become more so; as a proof, Exchequer Rills con tinue at a discount of 31. per rent., there having been a great supply in the market. Sr. DUNSTAN'S I TIII Easr.--A Meeting of the Parishioners of the above named parish took place this morning, for the purpose of voting a /qui de elfaration to his Majesty. ' The greatest care was used to prevent the admission of any of the gentlemen con nected with the Public Press. To counteract the feelings of the People—to re press their enthusiasm and drown their cries, the old warhoop is raised. Licentiousness and blasphemy are the theme of the loyal trumpeters—licentiousness I and blasphemy are bellowed forth by contracture, jobbers, pensioners, sinecurists, and placemen—all whom the treasury cau bribe or interest are invited to oppose with their clamour the voice of the People. Of blasphemy no one can be guilt► who is not mad. To blaspheme is an act of insanity: a puny mortal to speak evil of the Majesty of Heaven deserves our pity more than punishment. In all ages and in all climes this cry has been raised by cunning individuals when their craft was in danger, and they have fon id fouls enough to be duped by their designs. These trampeters are equally on the alert in condemning what they call the hero tiousness of the press ; they are not satisfied with the sufferings of the victims, groaning its dungeons,—they would shackle the press till they had reduced its freedom to the promulgation of flattery of Ministers and praise 'of their government. Instead of deploring the useless and unjust ity of the laws—instead of exposing the folly that would check the spread of liberal opinion— instead of withdrawing the veil from despotism—instead of admiring that freedom which is the fruit of knowledge. they would destroy the tree, and envelope mankind in the clouds of ignorance. These morality-mongers, devoted to the purse of the treasury, cover the acquitted Queen , with all the beautiful and chest.. epithets their knowledge affords, nr their ingenuity ran invent. They measure . royal crimes by the standard of interest. If the royal person be powerless, criminality fixes on the character —if powerful, even vice heroines a virtue. One of these sycophants declared, that the lovereip,•ns of England cannot sin ; but one of our best ports did not profess this I creed. He describes the Court of Arthur as the circle of virtue, and admits, that since his time a change hail taken place. Thus sings the poet, and poets it has been said succeed best in fiction : 1 Then courts of Kings were held in high renown, Err made the common hrotlyis of the town. • There, sirgins honorable sow' rerelv 'it, nut chaste as maids in mo.imiteries The King himself, to nuptial ties a slate, No bad example to his pue:4 cave. Nought has been more injurious to society than these interested cries of licentiousness and blasphemy:— nought is more injurious to loyalty than the vileepitliets heaped upon the Queen ; many of the attributes of rot's' alt• are like the beautiful plumage of the butterfly—a slight touch will destroy that which no art can restore. These are not days in which the exposure of majesty tends to increase its strength ; nor are they its true friends, who, blind to the errors of one party, aggro rate the wrongs of the other. It is high time fur the people to turn their eyes to the condition of the country —a condition which soon will be irreparable, if they do not, with steady hand, arrest the ills. Every day brings new calamity with it ; and the wants of the people in crease with the increase of the necessities of the Govern ment.—(kreter Alfred.) The following is an Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Havannali, dated Oct. 12 :-- "The Relampago and the Fame. from Vera Crux. ar- 1 rived here yesterday . and will sail to-morrow for Cadiz. The Constitution frigate sailed from Vora Crux on the 10th ult. with four millions of tiollarA on boanl. for Cadiz: and as she is expeeted to touch here ; her arrival is now anxi ously looked for."

At.ernixa eltelltElt IN THE CHANNEL—Extract of a letter from Dartmouth, dated Dec. 7 : "Captain A. Oise., of the ship . Jolla, from Oporto, bound to Hamburg, spoke a Prussian galliot, cornroaud ed by Captain Bradenal, eight miles from Ushant, from Stettin, bound to Brest, who on the 24th November, near t he Isle of Wight, had fallen in with a Barbary cruiser, who hoisted a white Bag, and insisted on their putting out the long boat, but the weather prevented it. There appeared about thirty.sie men on deek I and they further insisted on the p roduction of the Turkish pass port. She was a small brig, with a topgallant-mast aft, but some before."—(PlyniontA Telegraph, Dec. 9.) The Bast India Company's ships Canning and Lady Melville arrived at Bombay, after a passage of forty. Ave days from St. Helena, on the 27th July last. They were expected to sail about the I Sth of Argust, the former fur China, the latter fur Bengal. The M oira was at Bombay the 25th July.—The Warren Hastings sailed from Bombay for China, the 9th June. —The andermentioned ship, have left Bombay, viz. : —The Thames and Warren Hastings despatched for China (to touch at Penang.) the former on the lath. the latter on the 17th May.—Dunira and Marquis of Huntly sailed for Calcutta on the 25th July. In the representation of Giovanni in London at Drury bane Theatre, an unnecessary danger has been incurred by the descent of a dragon from the roof of the stage having a boy on its hack, which has no connection whatever with the progress of the piece. On Monday night as it was descending as usual, the wires which held it broke, and the rider was precipi. tated from a height of twenty feet, and maimed in a most shocking manner. Both his arms and his collar bone were broken, besides the bruises a hich mast have been the ednsequence of such a fall. The boy's name is Mason. A violent gale was experieneed at Port-an Prince 17th Sept. Twelve vessels wore driven on shore, but all got of again without mach damage. The brigs tieneral Macomb, of Baltimore, mid (Wiesal Pike, of Kenai bank, were totally lost outside of the harbour. POETRY. 4 NOTE FROM THE COURIER" TO COUNTRY SUBSCRIBERS. btc. S.

The co►nbatants, who are in re spectable life, met to fight out a grudge rather than to aspire to Lune as boxers, and both meant mischief at suing in. Burton was seconded h) Harry Ford, a► n l Thornton by Gee, Captain Phillips'• groom. In the first emend many heavy hluw•s were thrown. fr►►m over anxiety to take the lean: hut at length a stand was made, and some hea►y risfy-ersators (to use Greg son's slang) were exchanged.

Toast, Nov. 2;.--It is with extreme regret we have to record the occurrence of one of those barbarous arts which have occasionally disgraced the worst pe riods of popular commotion in our country—sn act which, thank God. derives its greatest horror from the ilafreipiency of its existence---an act which, exci!- lug the indignation and detestation of every honest mind, cannot fail to stimulate the exertions of all, to disrover and punish its perpetrators. Abort' one o'clock in Sunday morning last, the sentry, placed at the front of the barracks, of a detachment of the Rifle Corr, at Nloylongh, challenged a person who passed aloni the road, and why, as he passed, observed " a fine night, 'entry." This pe . i%- . metliately disappeared; sod, in the c 'half an hour, a shot was fired from be 'door Immediately opposite to, and within heeler yards distance from, the post of the : . The ball struck the sentry in the front of the dt, inflict ing a anted complicated and lacerated wound, several of the small 1 ttttt et of the instep beinz shattered, the sinews all exposed, and it has been found impossible to remove the ball, which lies deeply lodged in the atirle joint. The unfortunate subject of this melan choly and atrocious outrage, was brought into town to the Regimental Hospital, where he now lies in a state of imminent danger. ThiCommanding Officer, and some other Officers of the lITIIe Corps repaired yes terday morning to Moylough, to ascertain, if possible, whealser any thing might b• found to throw a light on this unfortuuate transaction. Nothiug. however, appeared to afford a shadow of en-- picion as to the perpetrator of the offence ; and, as the country has, the some months enjoyed such a perfect state of quiet, we do not believe the act to have any connexion with our late general disturbance, or combined with, or accruing fromulthe Ribbon sys tem, but must conclude it to be one of those insulated acts of atrocity, which, to the disgrace of hamaniry, sometimes cocourdothc mind of a single dark and base in .

We cannot close our detail, without expressing oar regret, than an iiislivideal of a corps, whose character in the field has always ranked so high, and whose conduct in quarters pas been, to our own knowledge, so peaceable, so orderly, and so correct, should have 'altered this severe infilffion.

Tate ALIVCRIIANIC AIII.RVSA.—Amid the stillness of the Court, an anecdote has c.ept forth, which marks the disappointment his Majesty evinced on receiving this sapient body of City Wit.eacret. on Friday last.— . On their introduction into the presence, the King, ob serving the smallness of the numbers that attended the Alaterutanic Address, (only twelve or fourteen per. sons,) supposed that oaFs a part of the Deputation had been admitted; under the impression, that it nas thought it might be fatiguing to him, to !ergotlte usual ceremony on the presentation of a loyal Address of kissing hands. With this feeling, lie communi cated to the Lord in Waiting his commands, that the Idiot, should be admitted. The rtirprise the King's countenance exhibited, when he was informed his gra cious intentions hail been anticipated, may be snore easily conceived than described. DINE air CLOCESTER.—On Fe iday evening, Dee. 3, a courier arrived at the Deorge-inn, Northampt•te, with intelligence that his Royal Maleness the Duke of lilocester would arrive that evening 1111 his way to F:arl Flint illiant's : in consequence of which the hotel was illuminated, and several other houses in the street in which it was expected his Royal Highness would pass. In a short time a great member of prop:e assembled and proceeded to the roil of the town, with a determination to draw his Koval Highness to the hotel. Not arriving until l 2 o'clock, the withdrawn, except a nualber who had taken their station near the hotel, determined to await the arrival, which they did, and hailed his Royal Highness with shouts of acclamation. In the morning the pelts rang merrily ; al at the time it was expected his Royal Highness teTniorertl on his journey, an i 11111 l ense concourse of people assembled to show their attachment to the Royal Valle. The horses were pre% meted from teeing put to the carriage, anal his Royal Highness was Ilrawn by the populate, preceded by a banal of music, to the end of the ton n: the air was rent with hums anal shouts of " lint bless the Duke of thocester, the friend of the Queen '.- " Olocester fur ever—the enemy of corruption—the, j friend of injured innocence," &c. As the procession j proceeded up Abingdon-street, his Royal Highness in train endeavoured to have the horses put to: hut the !mo- Ele were determined to draw him out of town, and d have drawn him further, if he had not been in te. At his departure the enthusiasm of the people seas exceedingly great, when his Royal Highness Thanked the people of Northampton for the honour they 'hail done him, as it was a mark of respect that would never be erased from his memory. SCSSWX.—The Inhabitants of the Hundred of Ridg eter, at a Public Meeting, held on Thirsalay last, the ? High Constable in the Chair, unanimously voted an Address to the Queen. - - - - - A Requisition, signed by upwards of one hnndred Odle most respectable citizens of Edinburgh. has been presented to the Lord Provost, requesting his Lordship to call a meeting of the inhabitants, to con sider the propriety of addressing his Majerty to dis miss his Ministers, and to re-as,einble Parliament. Yesterday evening the seventh Anniversary of the St. Clement's Danes, St. Mary-le•Strand, and Savoy United Bible Assisi/oM's, was held at the great room of the Crown and Anchor tavern. Strand, and was attended by a numerous and respectable asamoblago •f ladies and genii: men. A liberal collet ion was wade. Mr. Kean arrived in good health on the 10th of last month at New York, after a remarkably quirk passage of twenty eight flays from Liverpool. The Chairman of the Sussex Agricultural Assoeia ..iion, in consequence of a pressing letter he received Truro Mr. Webb Hall, has called a special tneeting•of its members, to be held at the Star lute, at Lewes. Some strong remonstrances and some weak expedients on the part of the farmers, seem again to be brewing but in what manner they are meant to operate dues not appear. Agricultural men in general, landlords as well as tenants, feel now the consequences of having promoted that extravagant system of war and corrup tion, by which they gaiir.•d a while ago a temporary advantage. it would he better for them, and fur the country at large, if they were as sensible of their error as they are of its effects. AI extrao►dina►ily prodactire Apple Tree.—Mr. William Brooker, of Altriston, has in his garden a tree, which when its stein was only 2/ inebes in di &meter, produced him 1432 apples, measuring two bashels.—When 4 inches. 3000, measuring five bush els,.—and this year, the tree having increased in dia meter to 51 int hes, its produce was, exrlnsive of many gathered by persons who *rot to see it, 6160 lee apples, which measured nine bushels lire gallons, and weighed 4201b5. It is a handsome looking fruit, and of a layout generally approved. It appears by an Axial report that, besides butter and cheese, Bast India cotton goods. and salt-per*. j will be allowed entrance into Spain, but only if im-14 pond i■ Spanish vessels. ( 7 ILA t
