Post, a printed copy of one of the most infamous incitements to open rebellion that we have ever read. We would gladly lend our aid towards re forming the abuses that have crept into our Go vernment, but those persons are entirely mistaken who suppose that every thing in our power would not be done to bring to justice any one who s')ould attempt to subvert what we would wil lingly help to restore to its prittlue excellence. The private letters by the Mitch state, that the recent udditimal duty on carets is becoming every day raoro odious, and the manner of collecting In it instill more unpopular than the imposition itself. The public feeling on this subject WAS strungly ma nifested at the Vauxhall of Rotterdam on the 14th instant, ss here the Minister, Appclius, with whom the measure origiaatcd, happened to be present.-- The instant he wn•e discovered he was surrouLdtd; severely beaten, and driven cut of the place ; haul he not been near the gate, aad thus enabled to mai.° his es. t very suddenly, so irritated were hieassail• ants, that lie would run have escaped without serious personal injury.

Had the nod old Dutch system bean adopteland followed, ail would have gone on well, and trade would have flourished k but his advisers have served their apprenticeship tinier the French, and •' all goes wrong." The difficulties to which our emuluerce is subjec ted ia the transit of goods through Huliand to the interior of Germany have turned the attention of merchants towards a plan for establishing a tliti'emot route, and for avoiding the Dutch provinces altoge ther. This is proposed to be effected by cutting a canal from Nfiuden,. threugh the territories of the Eleetor.of Hesse, to the Rhine, thus forming ano ther communication by which goods masy be cutivc ; . - ed from the main all parts of Germany by uninter. rupted inland navigation. An eminent British en gineer has already been applied to; and it is in cons.. templution to institute an actual survey fur this par pose early in spring of next year. A great sensation was excited on Frid.ty tit the Stuck Exchange by the failure of an eminent Lot-. tery-oflice-keeper, whose differences are stated to amount to 60,0001. The alarm, however, was greatly lessened on ascertaining that the individual in question wits likely in the audio fulll all his en. gnaments, and-that an indulgence in point of time: was all that he required. Atiutl.er .casualty occurred during the day was of a far less honourable cliai . acter. A broker who, like .many others, had become itiviived by the disastrous sitoustion of tin market, without disclosing his difficulties, demanded checks fur the ilitlerenceti in Lis favour, and drew others fir those against him. He received the mo ney for the former, but when the latter were taken, in the usual way, to the clearing-house, it was found that he had no dlects. In the mean time he ab scundod. The Stock Exenange was in a considerable ferment. during the whole of Friday, but it was caused chiefly by the adjustment of its own per plexed transactions. 1 hough very few new bar. gains were transacted, the prices of stuck underwent material variation ; the highest price of Ornuittin during the day was 41, and the lowest .34 pretuiutn ; Consuls ter October varied fr.,in 72 to 71:, and closed at 71 'Chu following requisition, signed by a great number of respectable inhabitant. of WestmitiAter, has been presented to Arthur Mt rris, Esq. the High► Bailiff, requesting him to call a Meting in Palace yard, fin the purpose of taking into tomilertition Parliamentary Retort, and the late proceedings at Manchester.
