All parts of the Unite' States appear to have experhlnced an unhealty season : the principal mortality from fever has taken place at New Or leans, Charleston, Now York and Baltimore : Phi. ladolphia has hitherto been wholly free from it.

MEETINUS are called or have been held, in almost alt places of importance in the Kingdom, on the subject of the Manchester outrages, and on no occa sion itt our political memory has so near an ap proach to unanimity been shown us in all the instan ces connected with this ; nor do we remember any other on which Ministers have dared to treat with so much sang or advise the return of answers so apathct . cal to, the voice of the people calling, not vengeance, not for justice on the murderer, not tint punishment on the heads of those who became his abettors and accessaries before the fact, by one of the foulest breaches of the laws of this or any other country that ever boasted having a conatitu film, but calling simply fur a fair investigation, fur an impartial enquiry into the facts that led to the fatal events of the memorable Kith of August—this dispassionate demand is held as Jacobinical by those who would either silence comFlaint by the sabre, or smother enquiry by threats : Noblemen whose res pectability, honour, and honesty could sustain no severer libel than by a comparison (politically) with tl.e most immaculate of the present administration arc dismissed from situations they honoured by the possession of, merely forsooth becanse they will not consent to remain quiescent spectators of the substi tution of German despotism fir that beautiful, though dilapidated structure the British Constitution. " So dissatisfied (says The Muffling Chronicle,) is the Ministerial Journalist with every thing that passes at a Whig Meeting, that he finds fault with n expression of the Nortia Address, which recom mends such measures to the PRINCE REGENT as slay reunite Ilse (sawn and the Foists.. in the bonds of concord and peace. On this suggestion the London Co:srier exclaims with indignation—" Reunite! are. they separated ?" We hope and believe, the separation is neither exiensive nor incapable of cure ; but if there is no disunion at ail—if there i 3 not at least some little separation ly•tweon the Crown and some part of the people, why this alarm ? why this augmentation of the army ? why this premature convocation of Parliament? whence the necessity for legal addresses, 10;:1 associations, loyal sub scriptions ? why so lamentable a Cal in the 3 per Cents ? The measures of peace n:ni concord recom mended by the Cout.ty of Norfolk may not suit the palate, or coincide with the views of Ministers; but if there is no disaMetion any where in the kingdom, no disunion in any part of the enniiirry, they are acting like the frantic firinef, -Alio to frighten his neighbours, threw a firebrand i ,to his own hay-stack." The length cur report of the indeed glorious County Meeting, obliges us to curtail our observa tions on a subject so pregmait as to he ditlicult of exhaustion. NV e kols, linwever, with pleasure to the meeting of Parliament, beeatise upon their &liberations du we rely for tic power to give the THE NATIONAL- REGISTER. lie direct to those who assert that the feelings of the House of Commons are at variance with those of the nation at large. For ourselves we shall unreservedly subscribe to this position, if the Hut.se of Cuintuons do not im peach all the parties that may appear, to be impli cated on the investigation, which Ministers cannot revolt by the closet union of the most infatuotts and contemp,ible means. Accounte have been received of Cie fugitive chief Nlagregor, who had reached Jamaica, an I was en deavouring to raise supplies fur a new expedition : fur this r urpose, he had fwblisii,vlproposals for open ing a communication with the Pacific at the isthmus of Darien : Or: subscribers to this plan were to possess the exclusive privilege to the navigation fbr 20 years. The proceedings concerning the new re said to be firming in Texas, are involved in much confusion, and it is even insinuatcd iu smile of• the Journals °film United .States, that the whole is nothing better than a scheme to allure adventurers, and to delude them into parting with their money fhr the purchase of lands, of which they can never receive possession. From N.irfolk (Virginia) the Constellation frigate was about to sail on a secret expedition. ; ship of war for some time building at the port, is nearly completed.

The Paris Papers of Saturday last contain no domestic intelligence of any interest. The accounts from Spain are more distressing than any previously receivoil, for they clearly chew that the yellow fever rages with increasing violence in Cadiz, and the other places afflicted by this dreadful malady. The approach of the cold weather is looked to by the peo ple with great anxiety, as from it alone du they expect any relief from their present sufferings. Advices from Spain received in town yesterday state, that the Spanish Government, observing there was little prospect of an abatement of the ma lady had removede restrictions on trade prevent ing vessels from efuering and departing from the port of Cacl.ig, as this regulation had preducAl con siderable distrees. They firther add, that two British vess:ls, with Spanish licences had arrived at Cadiz, and several Spanish vessels had taken their departure fin.
