Signed by order of Court, 114 F.N(I,Y WOO DfIIORPC. ' To which Address and Petition his Royal Highness was pleased to return the following answer : It must always be toy ittelintilian to listen with attention to far Petitions of any part of Itht °Majesty's subjects. For the re drcv of any grievance; of's; hiciiibey can reasonably complain, 4 Igoe full confidence in the wisdom of Paramount, the great STATE OF LIVERPOOL. ._.,...- (rnom THE LIVERPOOL MERCURY.) It is, at all times, a painful duty to expatiate upon the privations • which a considerable portion of the labouring classes.are too often condemned to experi ence, either by the natural course of unavoidable circumstances, or by the erring policy of their rulers. But such a task becomes peculiarly critical at a pe riod like the present, when a spirit of insubordina tion and riot unhappily exist generally through the country. Any remarks on such a subject, at such a time, may afford an opportunity to the designing and mnieyolenst to insirivate that they originate in disaf fection, and are artfully brought forward to foment the very evils they affect to deprecate.—Conscious of the honesty of our motives, no dread of such consequences shall interrupt the discharge of our duty. We feel imperiously called upon, by the ! contemplation or the actual state of thousands • around us, to urge the benevolent and the affluent ito step forward promptly and liberally, in some effectual way, to alleviate the unprecedented dis tresses of their suffering neighbours ; to do this with I effect, it is incumbent upon us to prove the reality ; of the suffering we deplore, particularly as its exist ence, in any very great degree, has been questioned lin the House of Commons by General Tarleton, in direct opposition to an assertion he had made a short. time before in the same House. Ilk statement, that , 'g not a ship-carpenter, rho was willing to work, was out of employ," appeared so unintelligible to those , who were on the spot, that the General was written to on the subject; and from his answer to one of the • freemen, which we have seen, it appears that such a representation was made at the desire of a Liver pool merchant. How it accords with the fact, will i be sliewit by the following statement, which is the result of the first enquiry we have made on the sub ject, relative to the condition of the carpenters, who i,were selected by their representative as an argument against the alleged distresses of our townsmen. The particulars were put into our hands a fortnight ago ; ' but we delayed their publication in the hope that some more general document would have been laid before the public from another quarter. " There are at present (April 9) only ten vessels in the Liverpool Graving Docks, some of them merely in need of very slight repairs. Nine vessels are now entered for the Graving Docks, four of which num , ber are only for tides, and two others are vet in the river, and cannot he ready for the next spring -tides; the remaining three, therefore,. ere the only ones of the nine entered vessels likely to dock for the ensu ing neaps. Eighteen months ago, several vessels were obliged to wait three months or upwards, after har k; entered for the Graving Docks, before they could obtain admission. And one respectable house, which on an average of several years, employed, besides a pprentices, THLRT Y REGULAR, JOURNEY MEN, has now only ONE JOURNEYMAN." Connell df the =Woo. Being finnty of opinion that the total change in the domestic I an d f ore i g n p o licy of the country, which it is the . sktiired object of 41U1' Petition to actsintspisb, would only serve' to berme the dangers, against which ;we have to contend, shtitild ibeivantiag to myself, andil l4'eat interests commit.

These endeavours can only be attended with ricceis ahrd'attinded by the zeal and loyalty of his Nlajesty's PeVe:slifti,WTsids I *all continue to plade the strongest re liance:' • They were all received very gr aciously, and had the hOneur of kissing his Royal Highness's hand. I:ettere received on Monday from the Dutch Coast, slate, that there is an embargo on that side. It was supposed to be in consequence of there being some frigates lying at Dunkirk,: which the French wished to get round to Flashing. ' The real triumph obtained by the Roman Catholics In argument, as well as in independent votes, on the discumien of their claims, has justly - satisfied them that their rights will be established ; and they have therefore resolved not to bring the question before Parliament again at present. Government are about to send out some troops to the Isle of France; the major part of which are to be drafted from the Marines.

Fran' Me 'E, APRIL ?S. • . 4cletirnlii -Office, April 28, 1812. Vises,Altsleektol Sir Edward Pellew has transmitted to J. Wilson Croker l Esq. a letter from Capt. Sir I'. Parker, of his Majesty's ship the Menelaus, giving an account of the beats of that ship having, under the directions of Lieutenant Rowland Mainwaring, captured, on the 29th of February, near the Ray of Frejus, a new French brig of war, called the St. Joseph, pierced for 16 guns, but none mounted, on her first voyage, from Genoa to Toulon, laden with naval stores. The brig was moored within pistol shot of a battery (to which she had hawsers fast), and flanked by another, as also by musketry from the shore ; notwithstanding which the service was performed without a man being either killed or wounded on our side. One of the enemy's batteries is stated to have suffered severely frGm the fire of the launch of the Menelaus. Sir Edward Pellew has also transmitted a letter from Captain Manley, of his Majesty's sloop the Badger, giving an account of the destruction of the Countess d'Emerieau French privateer, of 11 guns and 110 men ; she upset when in the act of hauling her wind in action with the Badger, and only 14 of her crew, including the Commander, could be saved by the sloop's cutter, the gig and jolly-boat having been shot through. Admiral Lord Keith has transmitted to John Wil son Croker, Esq. a copy of a letter addressed by Captain •Burdett, of his Majesty's ship tke Maid stone, to Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, giving an account of the boats of that ship, under the di rection of Lieutenant M'Mcekan, having, on the 4th instant, captured, off Cape de Gatt, the Marti net; a French xebec-rigged pri‘ateer, of two guns and 61 men.
