Consols for the Account opened at 70i, and have continued so during the morning. Money is plentiful, but there is little busimess doing, to create any very great tluc tuation• As the Account-day draws near, which is this day week, we may expect a change. The political contents of our columns to.day present a tolerably fair epitome of the general state of Europe, as well as of the condition of public affairs in England. In every part where courtly influence can operate, not only abroad but at home, it appears directed to re sthin the progress of civil liberty and personal inde per.deuse, and snake the majority of mankind subser vient to the aggrandisement of the few. While in the Nidnifesto of the new Portuguese Government to the people of Europe, are exhibited the leading causes which brought about and justified the Revolution in tlivt quarter of the Penin%isla, there appears in that article of The Atererian Observer, to which we yes t•rdav referred, a determination on the part of the Allied Sovereigns, to oppose " their united strength against the new state of things at Naples," in like manner as they would, if they could, against the revival of freedom in Portugal and Spain. Pro ceeding to those affairs among ourselves, which some home to every man's husisie-A and bosom, while we find the Common Connell of the City of London no.snfoolly asserting the violated rights of Engli•lssuess,_ and deuranding an inquiry into the conduct of those persons by wheat proceedings have been carried on, " which have been wade to derogate from the dignity of the Crown, and to inflict an irreparable injury on the hest interests of the country," we see a meeting of ItAnliers and Merchants cot tngether in a hurry to countenance those proeeedings which have shaken our pnlitieal fabric to its basin, and to calumniate the mo tives and the measures that would arrest its impending fall ! This rantaiwg we received a briet ascowat, which will be found in ['ruttier of our columns, of a meeting livid at Liverpool on IVeduesday, for the purpose of a.ldressing the King on the exigencies of the times, and the misconduct of Ministers. We expect to he e!,:ildell to• present a complete detail of the proceed ings, tvith remarks and other particulars tu-morrow. The Right llonottralok C. B. Bathurst, it appears, La. entered upon office as Pre , ident of the Board of Controul. Whether he k ako to retain his sinecure urChancellor of the Ducky of Lancaster, we know not ; but the two salaried Comonisssoners, dependents on Mr. Canning, continue to act under Mr. Bathurst. The Chairman and Devilry Chairman of the India Company yesterday paid their I ersonal congratulations to the Right Hon. Gentleman on his appointment. Sr. ALHAN'S ELEcTioN.—Close of the Third Hay's Pull, Jan. 11 : Wilson - ISO I Eastlsope - 153 I Ross - 151. !tdrices from Naples t.► the 23d ult. were received yesterday. Letters had arrived there from Cerma, announcing that the orders transmitted to the mer chants of that city for the purchase of large supplies of corn fur the consumption of the Austrian army in Italy, had been suddenly suspended, and instructions given to dispose of all that had been bought. The I)uhe of Rail° set out for Florence on the 20th, to join the King of Naplei. Reports were current that the Congress would be transferred to that place, and that the Pope would assist at it. Letters from Lisbon of the 29th ult. state that the election of deputies to the tortes terminated through out the kingdom on the 2-Ith, and that nearly all have Leen on the popular side to the exclusion of the nubility. The day fur pssembling the tortes had been postponed to the 10th of January. Owing to the heavy gales from the N. E. and the severe weather, only 18 vessels from foreign ports, from the Ist to the 10th inst. both inclusive, have been en tered at the Custom-house. At Liverpool only two arrivals took place from the Ist to the 9th ; and at Bristol there has not been a single foreign arrival since the 23(1 ult. Treetu•trro (aches of Carishrook, in the Isle of Wight, have published a declaration full of loyalty and liberality. They have resolved to admit no lady into thei► society whose polities and whose doctrines do not accord with their own. They were jealous of the popularity of those of their countrywomen who have expressed their sentiments to the Queen, and therefore as a set-oil, and a little more substantial set off too—thee are determined to deserve well of the party in power, and, as it would not be decent for them, personally, to receive thejarorre of men, they hope their husbands, sons, and other male relations may not pass unrewarded. There was another change of performance at the West London Theatre on Monday night. The recep tion of the new barletta, called ify /11/i sad Free kW, marks strongly the indefatigable exertions of the manager. This succession of novelty is likely to please the gentry at that end of the town. The de corstious and comfort of this elegant little theatre, seder the present proprietor, Mr. Amherst, deserves t 5 obtain theism liberal patronage et the pablie. &IMP LirEaPooL. -- (CITiaCT OP A ;ATTIE DATZD. JAN. 10; I8!1). The Canning Cycle have at last acted in a way which, had it proceeded from a better motive, would have shed sonic faint I'►stre on that opaque body. On Saturday those worthies held a privy council to deviee the most efficient means of preserving the pre& peace ! On Monday they held a meeting at the KING'S Anus INN, and this asonting, to the deliglat of every LOYAL and well-disposed inhabitant, the Ltv carom, COURIER proclaimed that the lonely and disconsolate squad had resolved to ABSTAIN from the TOWN WESTIN.; announced to take place this day! Of all possible means of preserving the rases of the town, this, which ensured the Ansyscs of the ato•rous and DISORDEELT, was the most effi cient! The most salutary effects flowed from this wise resolution. The Meeting was numerously and MOST RESPECTABLY attended, the speakers were numerous, an-t never more eloquent. The auditors hailed with rnthusiastn every passage remarkable for its pointed reprobation of those men and measures, under which this empire has been brought to the verge of ruin, and its annals sullied by a persecution of a virtuous Queen, the moral ravages of wl►ich are irreparable, as its stains are IN DSLIBLS. On Monday the following Circular was issued by the Canning cycle, namely : ! " are respectfully requested to attend meeting, to he held at the KING'S ARMS, Water-street, on Monday next, the Silt inst. at one o'clock in the af ternoon, on business of importance, connected with the peace of the town. Liverpool, Jan. 6, 1;.21." On Monday the little angry Squads laid their heads together, and their slavish, dependents talked loudly of the Msroa having been requested to have the MILITARY in REAMINISS, and to swear in a large body of SPECIAL CONSTABLES of course, every body else laughed at these forebodings, and as to the3lsvou, he knew the Cycle much too radically t o b e ren d ere d ! the dupe or' Instruments of their factious purposes. To add to their confusion, the real friends of the Mo.eAßcuY, those who would fain banish from the King's presence those incapable men, whose .1 won ! stututional rule have shorn the Crown of much of its lustre, e nd so deeply impaired the sprillfrs of public liberty, invited in their placards, announcing the' meeting at the TLysis Canty for this day, per sons of any or all political o;linions to attend, and promised them a fair and impartial bearing, and the most perfect protection anti personal security. In fact, the public feeling was worked to sudi a pitch of indignation at the trick th..t the ;Iltra-party had played off, in sending a horde of abject ruffians to cause the last meeting to be prematurely dissolved, that the schemers .durst no nm.. attempt that inanutuvre : and as to their entertaining any hope of roping with the talent and patriotism embodied on the popular side, feeble as are their intellectual powers, they hail still sense enough to see the precipice, and keep away. It was therefore in their cowardice and despair that the following useouTtoss were publish ed in their lArliteur, the Liverpool Courier, i. e. "That the Mayor having refused to convene a meet-, ; In( or to preside, theolbjeiFt ToihellegiNg of this day ; that public assemblies ought to be eonvehod be pirblic Magistrates—that in the Reformer's requisition there did not appear the name of any Magistrate: that the sense of thus great town is not to be deduced from seat a meeting ; that if numerous, it may create animosity, inflame the minds of the ignorant ! and endanger tie public peace : that they Moak the Msvoa for declining to attend or to preside; and TUERIFORE they think it I.7NYIKESSARY to attend themselves :" Certainly a very wisa resolution, although their Fs ttt was the parent of their wisdom. LOYAL ADDRESS ff the COUNTY of DUBLIV. (rRoM (ARRICK . S MORNINI; POST.) The Address of the 'ounty of Dublin, agreed to una nimously, by the Freeholders, Lord l.'lonenrr• in the Chair, has been signed by his Lordship, as Chairman of the County Meeting, awl forwarded to his Grace the Duke of Leinster, who will present it at the next Levee. We observe by the Government Papers, that a certain. loyal Address, purporting to he (y . the county, is left for signature at one of the Newspaper Offices. This is very ridiculous ! As well might Sir Richard Steele, call him self the Goecrnment : or Sir Harcourt Lees set himself down as the ( 1 / 4 lrrh, as the getters up of this mock Ad dress miscall it the Address of the Count•. We have good reason to believe that the worthy High Sheriff (he should be dubbed the Sheriff par exrdtptere) of the County will be put upon his own resources, for defence against certain law proceedings, which any Freeholder, or every Freeholder present in the County Court, on the memorable occasion, when the Sheriff ac quired for himself immortal fame, may institute against him. The 001.cm:tient will disown the act; and what is still worse, his own snug little party say, that the She conduct was that of a man bereft of all reason and presence of mind. The truth is, now that the affair is over, they are all ashamed. Some, perhaps, are disconcerted at the result not being similar to what it was at Manchester, on the great day of Peter Loo. We have received an immense number of letters and applications, requiring of us to state, who, and what, and what countryman, this Sir Richard Steele is; we answer we don't know--we have never heard of the man before. We understand that Lord Cloncnrry, immediately after the outrage committed upon him at the County Meeting, addressed a letter on the subject to Eati Talbot. The Lord Lieutenant's answer was to the effect " that the law was open to every aggrieved party." Colonel Talbot offers a lame excuse for his desertion of the Freeholders ;—" he will go any where, or de any thing, that his Constituents may require." This would be correct enough, if it was an invitation to dinner—but a man in the circumstances of Colonel Talbot. should Wel, and not be drivels; or else have the candour to de clare his dissent, if he differed from his Constituents. He has lost the County. ADDRESS TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT. The Address and Remonstrance agreed to at the Ad journed -Meeting, at the Corn Exchange Tavern, on Thursday, wasa d moted his Excellency the. Lord Liesiessel, on ay last, by Lord Closcwrry. TO THE KCVO. Sine—tith the most profound respect for the dig nity of your office, and every constitutional 'afftctieW for your August person, I venture to address your, Majesty; for in these momentous tint,. silence is cri minal, and It is the paramount duty of every Free man to address the Throne, even though the gracious lips of Majesty may murmur at the honesty which prompts it. From a late royal, (t would fain have said gr aci ous) reply, it is more than ever apparent, that your Majesty Is enrelloped in the atmosphere of bad men, who cloud your kindness from the subject, and cast a gloom even over the proverbial affability of your presence. There are men, my liege, whom it might be li bellous to name, who are either too weak to discover truth, or too wicked to support it, or what is more pro bable, are egregiously foolish enough to doubt whether honesty is the best policy of mankind. These men, your Majesty's penetration will doubtless point out, bet there is one, whom I will designate by more particular remark, one whom I will hereaftet arraign at the bar of reason, and his own conscience, and who if a latent, though mouldering spark of honesty be left, shall burn with shame at the remembrance of himself, and stand convicted even to his own most par tial imagination. It is one who marked his entrance into political notoriety, by a triumph over the consti• tutioual freedom of his coiiii!ry, and who has succes sively trampled upon all the barriers with which liberty opposed his progress. He is a hero, in the annals of despotic power, and rose like a cloud of smoke :rout the dismal conflagration of his country. I shall not, however, attempt to stir up Irish animosity by a mor tifying picture of past and glorious freedom, nor will I rake up the ashes of an once happy constitution, or mark the hand which stabbed the infant liberty of Ireland. I will not do these things, my liege, least I should disturb the tranquillity of your Majesty. I shall out notice the early friends trodden under foot by this noble Lord, in ascending the ladder of politi cal power ; these I shall leave fur his own closet thoughts, if he be not too busy, or too fearful to ven ture upon private reflection. I shall pass over his rising and nieredian fame, and treat only of that part, which I hope to Otid I may prophetically term the setting of his political career. We are told, I know not with what trlth, hnt what for the honour of your Majesty I believe, that your Majesty's feelin;v in no wiy pr,rupt the proceedings against the Queen. lle.ievinq this, as I feel bound to t tits, I most humbly offer a compliment to your filijc itv urn Ako pinieleof your heart, and sincerely congra ftlitela" coniitiy iti possessing a Sore-eign whose min i is superior to the feelings of malice, and whose ' gallantry revolts at female persecution. As the proceed ing does not originate with your Majesty, with whom ran it commence; is Lord the origin; I hope, for i the sake of his posterity, he is not; but if lie is, what motive could prompt him to the act? it could not be to please your Majesty, for the King most nobly dis t claims all party feeling un the subject. It cannot be I private resentment, for his Lordship has nothing to resent ; it cannot be for the benefit of the people, for the country spurns at any rood they may derive; it cannot be for justice, or tho evidence would have been 'more impartially collected, and the good and the bad would have been equally received by the Commis ' sioners. As these are not the motives, what in the 1 name of Ood is the reason why the public papers are to teem with gross indelicacy, which would I Why is your Majesty to be insulted in the person of ; the Queen, or the honour of the country to be com promised for ever ? Report says, this disgusting • proceeding will be again commenced ; yonr Majesty . has the power to stop it. By listening tv the voice of your people you will serfire the affections of the country, but should a fleet ear be turned to their re monstrances, I shall never cease to pray for your Ma jesty, though fear to think on the dreadful conse quences, w hich it is more than probable may take place. Let me entreat, nay implore you, Sire, to consider the man or motive which prow. Ices this daring tura sae ; for whether it be a most igooble Vacs, or a 'nest Noble 4 Lord, it is equally prejudicial to your Majesty's popularltr. The Musistey„ with all patronage at their heelfOrave nut yet been able to trample upon royalty, thoughthey have alo a toot more cloven , than the most malicious radieal, Rd far more ready for the desperate attempt, Here my Liege, let us pause, to view die horrors which may attend a renewal of the Bill of Nip' and Penalties, flay your Majesty reflect ere it be too late, and by reflection, retain the love of your subjects while the power is yet within your reach. Though the Min:stry may have les sened the popultHey of your Majesty, the people yet think that the Ring eau do no wrong: and I entreat Iyou, Sire, by onr sacred Constitution, to stop this ruinous ; undertaking and avert that dreadful calamity r,c,i -; aminotion which with deference to your exalted viitues ' might lead the ignorant to suppose that the Monarch was only infallible in idea, or that the person and 1 office of the Sovereign are not equally immaculate. And here, while I congratulate your Majesty on the happy maxim, by which the venal vices of the best of I Princes may be thrust on the shoulders of a servant, I i yet condole with my Sovereign, when I find he is reciprocally made to bear the adhesive infamy of Ministers. If the Queen be not guilty, I call upon you, Sire, in the name of an injured people, to dismiss the men who have insulted your Majesty, your Lords, and Commons; and if she is guilty, these my Liege, ,we not the 1110 to prove her pop: their very oppositfon implies her lanocence, for "Sires of prey, prey nut on each *dm" VI maws.

On the 2:ith of November, about noon, in latitude 4 deg. 30 itt'st. North, and longitude 25 deg. 30 min. West, the henna unfortunately caught fire, and was bassi, under ci:cunt•tances of the must awful and die tsessing nature. Out of a crew of twenty-one persona, and one It Aldred and forty-one emigrants, men, w n. men, and children, making a total of one hundred at.-I sixty-une persons, only .forty-rime are saved. Those are happily all safely landed at Lisbon; and hay:- subsequently sailed in the Royal Charlotte userrhan: brig, cur Greens ck, except ten orphan hors. whom the gentlemen of the 1:. itish Factory, at Lisbon, have tak .n under their kind protection. The fire broke out in the after store room, whilsi the thief-mate was occupied in sonic tietess.kry ss there; and such was the awful progtess at the flames, that only three small boats could Le rut over board, before the flames consumed the tackles, &c. tie r r.. L.:..c.. te nut the long boat. in these three small boats, forry-ntne p er . o rt• were received on board, with so scanty a supply of provisions, that the consequences must have Leen II equally dremilitl with the ultimate fate of those left un board, had not a Portuguese ship from Bahia, hound to Lisbon, must providentially fallen in with them at day-right next morning, and reeeiied than on board, in which they were safely and hospitably conveyed to Lisbon, after cruising about the fatal spot till noon, in hopes of descrying sonic of the miserable sufferers wh.s might have clung to parts of the wreck, but without success. Of a crew consisting oftwetty-one persons, fourteen are saved, including Lieut. Mudge, the Agent, Mr. Fisher, the Surgeon, the Master of the Ship and Second Mate—the First Mate, in the most feeling manner, refusing to go into the boats, saying that he would abide the fate of those left on board. Of the emigrants, consisting in all of thirty-one men, twenty four wow& fifty-five boys, and thirty girls, only ten men, three women, sixteen boys, and • six girls are saved. Lists 14 the persons saved have been sent to the Chief Magistrates of Glasgow and Greenock, for the information of the friends of the respective par ties in that country, and having been favoured with a copy thereof (from official authority), we publish the same for the sotisfaction of those in England who may have had friends or relations on board this ill-fated vessel.
