Mr. Conant, at the close of the business, went to the Secretary of State's Office to report the affair. Yesterday afternoon Marsden was worse. Copy of a letter from a young Gentleman on board of the United States' ship Hornet, oaf lionavista, to lois father in the city of New York, dated Aug. 26, IS20: —Tile brig Alexander (a prize to the Hornet) being about to return to the United States, I take advantage ' of the opportunity thereby presented of informing you that I am well, and have had a very pleasant voyage. t ' I wrote to you last from Santa Cruz, (Teneritfe) by the ship Hibernia, which, I presume, has ere this arrived in New York. From Santa erns, we proceeded direct to the roast of Africa, and arrived at Sierra Leone, after passing the Cape de Verd Islands. The first sight of the too n on approaching the land, together with the scenery about it, forms one of the fittest views that can be imagined. The town itself, which is built and laid out in the European style, and the shipping in the harbour, which gives it the character and appearance of a place of trade, are singularly contrasted by the loose huts of the native villages, and the small ca noes of the negroes, giving at one glance, a view of the comp.orati ve situations of a man, in a state tat*civi lization and barbarism. From Sierra Leone, we re turned to the Cape de Verd Islands, and arrived at Form Proyo, in the Island of St. Jago, a few days ago. Our stay there was short, and I had no oopporio. nity of seeing much of the town. It is very neil de fended, and so strict are the regulations of the poet, that all vessels are obliged to enter, ;tool leave it in the day time. Whenever any attempt is malls to break tlorootglo this established law, the consequence is generally being fired toloon. The British sloop of war Myrmidon c:mae to anchor off the port white we lay there during the night, and a tiring was instantly . 'toed from the forts upon her, she was, however, at too great a distance to be affected by it. From Porto Prayo, came to the Isle of May, and then to this place, where we took possession of the vessel by which I send this, on the confession of the crew that they were engaged in the slave trade. I have not been nu shore here yet, consequently can only judge of the place by its appearance from the ship, , in which it is the most sterile and barren of all we have seen on the voyage. Where we are bound fr this, is its yet uncertain ; it is generally sapposed on hoard, that we will visit some of the ports in the West-Indies, before returning to the Unity(' States; I expect to be at home, however, about the latter part of October. TO THE ifOPILITT, CENTRT, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, ANI) INHIHITAXTE OF THE COI STY Or MIRK& Gentlemen,—Though 1 have not the honour of any political connexion with von, and though I am known to you only as a resident and acting Magistrate of the County of Berke; yet, having occasionally met many of you at county meetings, and have always found on such occasions a great concurrence of opinion amongst the majority of you on'political subjects, I take the liberty of now addressing- you. It is not luny days since I took upon myself to send to several gentlemen resident in different parts of the county, copies of a proposed requisition to the Sheriff to villa County Meeting, for the purpose of Addressing the King on the treatment which the Queen was expe riencing at the hands of his Ministers, and of passing such It esolittimu as the state of the country might seem to require; hot the event of this day, and the scene I have just witnessed in Parliament, ao, in my opinion, impeiatively demand that sonic further steps should itn inediateli he taken by all who value the stability of the Throne, sodlothe tranqnillity of rise cowry. It having been stated by the Ministers, in the early part of the proceedings against the Queen, that no pro- vision could be made for her Majesty while those pro creglings were pending ; and it having been lately sig- , tithed to her on the same authority, that neither could provision he made for her, nor residence appropriated, until Parliament met for the despatch of business ; it does seem a little extraordinary that the Parliament be ing at that time actually sitting, and the two houses be ing to meet, and the call of the Ilouse of Commons hay ing been Asniered fur to-olay, that tinder these circum stances a prorogation should take place. But the case is infinitely agp,ravateil by this fact, that the. Queen had prepared a communication, and hail directed her Law (officers to deliver it to the Mouse of Commons—that Lord Castlereagh was apprised of their intention—and that the sitting of the Commission fur proroguing the Parliament was so timid as to preclude Mr. Destines front presentiog it, thought he rose at the very Ant pos sible opportunity for that purpose. This, however; is not all. The prorogation took place; but quite contrary to the initial (I believe, the in variable) ;tractive, no communication of any sort Was made to the two !looses on the state of affitirs, and the political relations tof the country, internal or extevnal ; thongli most indubitably the events which have occur red, both at home and abroad, since the co 11111 l eueettsent of the Session, have been of sufficient importance to red quire that the King's Ministers should have advised his Majesty to state to hie Parliament his opinion tre I *n4ler these circumstances, and considering Itep°re sent agitated stale of the public mind, I cannot but cuss tritsplate the prorogation of the Parliameut till the 231 of January as a measure pregnant with the greatest danger to the State, to the trammillity of the people, and thence to their liberties, and to the permanency of the civil and religions establishments of the country. I am therefore disposed to recommend that a requisition should be presented to the Sheriff, to call a public meet ing of the County u soon as possible, for the purpose of praying the King to re-assemble the Parliament without loss of time; and I take this the most expeditious mode of making known to you my opinion, that, in case any of von should agree with me, requisitions may be ion ineaiately prepared and aignatnres procured to them, which' reomisitions may be either forwarded to -the Sheriff direct, or, if sent to me, shall when collected, be transmitted without delay.-1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your faithful humble Servant.

ROGERS PUT TO REST AT (AST. NEW LONDON, lit r. 11. The Superior Court iu the County of New London, closed its session ott Saturday last. A Nairn correspondent desires to state, that on re ceiving the news there of the proceedings against the Queen being discontinued, a magnificent bonfire, cm- sisting of tar-barrels and other combustibles, *Ter,. erected, and a flag displayed, surrounded. by torches, and " Non noi riroid," written on it in capitals. Also that a great concourse of paopla attearlisd; and the usual vociferation' of course ensued of "Long lie! Queen Caroline," &c. I.mA-rite:ow, Nov. 17.—Mhe proceedings against the Queen hate excited touch interest, and their pr.,- !frets have been particularly watched by a great pr.,- portion of the inhabitants of this burgh. When the a:- count arrived of the fate of the Bill of Pains and P•!- nalties, joy was visible in almost every counteuaace. ilit the evening of the satne day a number whose ! . ..e!- ings were must acute illuminated their houses, and on Thursday evening the greater part of the inhabit.Ln.s being desirous of showing their attachment to her Ma -1 'te agreed to illuminate their houses, and the town ~ • - and neighbournood was lutist brilliantly illuminated, with the exception of a few. In smne of the windows there were appropriate inscriptions and representation•, there was a large bon-fire lighted at the west-etti 01 the town, and slimmer was displayed, on which was inscribed " the Qncen," and the names of her Majesty's Counsel, who deserve a grateful nation's thanks ; an I a windier of the inhabitants paraded the streets with the banner and music, and then returned to the boa fire, where there was a hogshead of porter, and there thank the healtits of her Majesty and all her Coa.isel, and several of the independent Peers, and the evenin4 passed over witlo. At any irregularity or distarbanze taking place. Friday night, there was a second illnusination in Paisley in h.mor of the Queen, Which was very gene ral, and we are glad to !mitt V ri that occasion a .A . 4 very great degree of pato' ws ed. " The village of Os-titian% in 'East Lothian,"' says our correspondent in that quarter, " was brilliantly il luminated on the 17th in honour of her Majesty's triumph. At each side of the cross there was a cart of coals burning ; there the well-wishers of her Mih jesty assembled and drank her Majesty's health, with vbs.! thins wise: also the health, of her Majesty's Counsel—Lord Erskine—Earl Grey, with three times three; at intervals there were Tonics of uswicetry, and great cheering. The whole of the inhabitants illumi nated excepting a few dependents. Peace and har owns reigned during the night. - l II EDI N FIURGH, Nov. 2 I .—The village of Portobello :vas illuminated in honour of the Queen's acquittal, except the house of a single individual, who paid for his ob stinacy by losing half a dozen panes of glass. The special constables paraded the streets until 10 o'cl‘wk. PAESCNT, JUIICE CHAP!! IX. Several civil and criminal cases were heard midis posed of. itut one which excited most attention, was a prosecution against Ammi Rogers. This was an in formation tiled by the States' Attorney against Rogers; charging him with the crime of sedstetiou„ and at tempts of a most wicked and corrupt character to rover his villainy. The Court was commenced on Wednes day of last week. Many witnesses were introduced on the part of the State, who testified to a series of facts, tending to shew his guilt ; which it would be improper to state in this place. Rogers also produced sundry witnesses to shew his innocence ; but generally instead of exculpating him, they rather tended to ag gravate hi. crime. The case was ably argued 'by-Mr. Attorney Lanman and Col. Halsey of the State, and Goddard and Cleveland for-the prisoner. His honor in a brief manner charged the Jury, leaving them en tirely at liberty to infer his guilt or innocence from the evidence adduced in Court, carefully avoiding any comment which might shew the bias of his own mind. In a short time the Jary returned a verdict of Unilty. His honor, in pronouncing judgment, declared the information being for a high crime and misdemeanor, would justify him in sentencing him to Newgate; but as the law did not absulutely demand this punishment, and taking into consideration the state of his family, having a slaughter and two sons, he was disposed to exercise to him lenity.—be was accordingly adjudged to suffer two years imprisonment in the county gaol at Norwich ; and on Saturday last he was accordingly committed to the penitentiary. We have avoided going into detail at this time, as preparations are making to furnish a full account of this trial, which will soon be before the public. The above Rogers was a Clergymen, but about six teen years since, being found guilty of an immoral act, was degraded from the Ministry. Since that time he has continued preaching in various places, and by a series of impositions upon the public, to bring discredit upon the profession. Although the offence which was commit•ed had not been previously made public, the denomination to which he belonged declared him unworthy of the clerical character. Ile has not ceased to vilify the ecclesiastical authority that pronounced hits, guilty, and uuder the cry of persecution to impose upon the credulity of men well disposed to the interests of religion. The public will now be satisfied that he was deserving of erclesiasti• cal censure and this event as evidence of the neces sity of caution in giving encouragement or coun tenance to men as • ministers of the gospel, whose cha racters are not well known.—(U.rzeitc.)

An effigy of the well•known " Non mi ricardo," was placed in a Inge cral, atd Wiled wit --- I POL ICE. STREET-ROMIERIcs.—This species of offence appears to increase every day. and has become matter of seri ous alarm to the public generally; an alarm which is heightened by the knowledge that most of the robberies are accompanied with circumstances of great cruelty as well as audacity. Within the last few days numerous complaints have been tnsile at the Police-Office, Bone street. by persons who have been robbed of watches and other property in the public streets, and in open day. Yesterday no less than ten or twelve gentlemen longed emnplaints of a similar kind. One of them, a respectable attorney. was intuited in the Strand, and ; robbed of his watch by a gang of 5 or 6 fellows, who absolutely laughed in his face. Ile had PIK in his breeches pocket at the time, and seeing him place his hand anxiously there, the ruffians made a violent effort ' to get at the pocket, hut failed. During the time that the processions with Addresses to her Majesty were pass ing through the Strand, /ex. towards Hammersmith, gangs of thieves, from 12 to 30 or -10 in number, were seen rushing about amongst the crowd, robbing every passenger who had any thing to lose, and bidding de fiance to the Police. In some instances they treated their victims with cruel anti unnecessary violence. Two or three days ago, an Array gentleman called at Bow-street Office, with Townshentl the officer, and informed the Magistrate (Mr. Minshull), that (as he was passing through the Strand a day or two before, about dusk, he received a blow front an unseen hand which brought hint to the ground, and stunned him. The blow was indicted with a heavy blunt instrument. ll'hen he recovered, be found that he heel been plundered of his watch and pocket-hook. A short distance from the spot j where he fell, he found a kind of bludgeon, one end of which was cased with iron, and from its appearance, he hall no donbt that this was the instrument with which he was assaulted. • The bludgeon was etewn to the Magistrate, and was certainly a most formidable weapon. Deems ATTACK NT A NCNIEROUS GANO Or Thieves. —Rescue or FOUR NOTORIOUS llocseueeitteus.--Four reputed thieves, of the names of Jones, Dann, hurray, and Battler, were fully committed from Marlborough street for trial, for robbing the house of Mrs. %Watkins, j in May Nair, and another man (Willie's' Paddock) was handcuffed with them and fastened to the chain, to be taken to New gate. PaddoA's offence was simple lar jceny. They left Marlborough-street Police Of fi ce about dusk, under escort of Marsden, the gaoler, who took them his usual way for privacy, along Great Russell- Jetreet. In crossing Tottenham-court-road, a woman of the town got into conversation with them; in passing along Great Russell-street. some whistling was heard, and one of the burghers called out " Now for a resene." Immediately after, between 20 and 30 ruffians 'willed forth from George-street, St. Giles's, and the opposite side, and knocked Marsden down by a blow no the hack `with a bludgeon; they contiometi beating him until be teas senseless, when on the ground.
