■ NOV. 7. can add, that a corresponding improvement is per ceptible in the metropolis, particularly iu the sugar trade. Within the last two days, above 5,000 hogsheads of sugar have been sold. A •43;i2.: of A.l trics.t tr • a th 3 17th to the 30th September, were received on Friday. As late dates had previously arrived, hut some inter mediate papers were omitted, which are now sup plied. All pasta of. the United States appear to have experienced an unhealty season : the principal mortality from fever has taken place at New Or :tens, Charleston, New York and Baltimore : Phi. ladelphia has hitherto been wholly free from it. The !goy York Gazette, for many successive days, has several columns filled with notices of removal !from the quarter of the city in which the fever originally apyeured. At the small town of Darim, an infant settlement in the province of Georgia, containing only 120 inhabitants, 37 were seised with the fe ver : the whole place was one scene of distress and consternation. Meertsns arc called, or have been held, in almost Rll places of importance in the Kingdom, on the subject of the Manchester outrages, and on no occa sion in our political memory has so near an ap proach to unanimity been shewn as in all the install. ces connected with this ; nor do we remember any other on which. Ministers have.dared to treat with so much sang froid, or advise the return of answers so apathetical to, the voice of the people calling, not for vengeance, not •for justice on the murderer, not for punishment on the heads of those who became his abettors and uccutsaries before the fact, by ,one of the foulest breaches of the laws of this o r any other country that ever boasted having a constitu tion; but calling simply fur a-fair investigation, fur an impartial enquiry into the facts. that led to the tlital events of the.memorahle•lCmh•of August—this .'.kpassionate demand is held -as Jaeobinical by these who would either silence eompjaint by the sabre, or smother enquiry by..threats : Noblemen whose res pectability, honour,. and honesty could sustain no severer had thauly it comparison (politically) with the most immaculate of the present administration arc dismissed from situations they honoured by the possession ot; merely forsooth because they will not consent to remain quiescent spectators of the substi tution of German despotism ferthat beautiful, though dilapidated structure the British Constite • ion. " So di satisfied (says The Morning Chronicle,) is the Ministerial Journalist with every thing that passes at a Whig Meeting,-that he finds. fault with en exur,2ssion of tbe.Norfolk Address, which recom mends nigh measures to the PRINCE REOZNT as 'nay reunite 11w Crown-and the people in the bonds of concord and !raw. On this suggestion the London (.'ourier exclaims with indignation—" Reunite! are they separated-?" We hope and believe, the separation is neither extensive nor incapable of cure ; but if there is no disunion atidl—if there is not at 'east some little separation between the Crown and some part of the people, why this alarm ? why this augmentation of the army ?- why this premature onvocation of Parliament? wheiee the necessity for leyul addresses, loyal. associations, loyal sub scriptions ? why so lamentable a fall in the 3 per Ceuta ? The measures of peace and concord rec:7m mended by the County of Norfolk may not suit the palate, or coincide with the views of Ministers ; but if there is no disaffection any where in the kingdom, no disunion in any purt of the country, they are acting like the frantic farmer, who to frighten his neighbours, threw a firebrand into his own hay-stack.' Tile length our report of the indeed glorious County Meeting, obliges us to curtail our observa tions on a subji.N:t so pregnant as to be difficult of exhaustion. We look, however, with pleasure to the meeting of Parliament, becauFe upon their deliberations do we rely for the rower to give the THE NATIONAL REGISTER. lie direct to those who assert that the feelings of the [louse of Commons are at variance with those of the nation at large. For ourselves we shall unreservedly subscribe to this position, if the Hcuse of Commons do not im peach all the parties that may appear to be impli cated on the investigation, which Ministers cannot prevent by the closest union of the most infamous and contemptible means. Acceunte have been received of the fugitive chief Magregor, who had reached Jamaica, and was en deavouring to raise supplies fur a new expedition : for this purpose, he had published proposals for open ing a communication with the Pacific at the isthmus of 'Darien : the subscribers to this plan ware to possess the exclurive privilege to the navigation for 20. years. The proceedings concerning the new re public said to be forming in Texas, are involved in much confusion and it is even insinuated its some of the Journals of the United Stilt,* that trte whole is nothing better than a scheme to allure adventurers, and to delude them into parting with their looney for the purchase of lands, of which they can never receive possession. From Norfolk (Virginia) the Constellation frigate WAS about to sail on a secret expedition. it ship of war for some time building at the port, is nearly completud. Captain Bass, of the armed schooner Constantin, which has been Cruising under the flag of Artigas, has been appre hended at Ne* York, and a true bill of indictment fur piracy has been famd•ugaiust him by the Grand Jury. lis trial will take place in April next.. The Paris Papers of Saturday last contain% •no domestic intelligence of any interest. The accounts from Spain arc more distressing than any previously received, for they clearly sliew that the yellow fever rages with increasing violence in Cadiz, and the other places afflicted by this dreadful malady., The appose!' of the cold weather is looked to by the peo ple with .great anxiety, as from it alone d©. they expect any relief from their present sufferings. Advises from Spain received in town yesterday state, that the Spanish Governmeot, observing there was little pr..s,ect of an abatement of the ma lady had removed the restriatictqa on trade prevent ing vessels from entering anti departing • from the port of Cadiz, as. this regulation had produced con siderable distrees. They farther add * . that two British vessels, with Spanish•ficences had arrived at Cadiz, and several Spanish vessels had taken their departure f'or South America, but without convoy. so that it is apprehended that some of them will fall into the hands of Patriot privateers. This intel ligence is not mentioned in the Paris papers. • The French Five per Cents. are 70C 95c,—Bank Actions, 1,490 f. An article in the German mail, dated Hanover, 23d ult., states, that the Prince regent has, 14 in conseci.leace of the resolutions passed by the German diet on the 20th of September," issued an ordinance, enforcing an old edict. of Geo. I , which was after wards renewed by Geo. 11., stadecting every publi cation throughout the thiminion•of Hanover, anti if the publisher be an Hanoverian subject, every work m be published beyond those dominiens; to a preli minary censorship. These are further restraints imposed on republications of works printed in other parts of Germany, and on.newspapersend periodical journals.. Thus the years 1703 and 1731 arc searched for as precedents, applicable to the state of letters and of liberty in the present age.—Some per sons deride the idea of eur having a Constitution in Englaudi if we had not, what would prevent similar proclamations here at this moment. The conferences at Vienna,. says a Frankfort paragraph, will commence on the 20th instant, and are likely to end in-such modifLations of the tribu nal about to be established at Nlsmts, at, may render it less offensive to public opinion, and to the spirit of representative Governments. According to the 6,;zeztc of Mu:ticA, the King of Bavaria hag, by an ordinance, enjoinntl his subjects so to act towards the commission at Mentz, as not to lose sight of the sovereignty which belongs to his Majesty: the plain meaning of which appears to be, that the Bavarian people are not to take notice of, or obey in any nstance, the authority of the said tribunal. A letter from Cadiz mentions the following cir cumstance :—" The dead-cart, which every evening conveys to the graves the victims of the malady, met in its way a porter, stretched at length, and seem ingly dead, at the extremity of a street. :Jo dna ht wiet entertained that this was a vomit° negro, and he was thrown into the eartamong the dead bodies. In the mean time the fellow was only drunk, and the motion of the cart restoring his senses at the very moment when it arrived as its destitiatitm, terr;rp..l at the horrible company in which he found hi , u,c!t;, he threw himself out of the cart, and ran away with the utmost speed. several days have since elapsed, anti no change has taken place in the porter's health. It is therefore concluded, that srong liquors arc a preventive against the yellow fever. A physi iat proposes to publish a dissertation on this esil4eet, which will shortly appear." Among the new measures called for by the pre sent crisis on the-meeting of Parliament, we under stand Ministers mean to kmpose a stamp duty upon the cheap minor publications.. • They have long complained of them as the advocates of infidelity, treason, and sedition, the• public may therefore ask, why their circulation has been so long encou raged by a dispensation in their avonr from the tar imposed upon the higher orders of Ole public press?
