b y the yeomanry. With singular dexterity it strives to enlist our loyal sympathies on behalf of these wise and valiant men, and instructs ne, in the abhorrence which all gcoi subjects and honest citizens must feel at the mischievous conduct and malignant designs of some infatuated and turbulent • demagogues, to find ass excuse even for the errors of vigilant Magistrates. " in th e firm, f a i t hf u l, an d irtive discharge of their ditty." The opinions of the Sovereign at all times de mand the respect and reverence of the people. But the Constitution ha., for wise purposes, re moved the possibility of a subject's entering into an indecent controversy with his Prince, by referring all his public acts and expressions to his respon sible advisers. The present Answer, therefore, must he considered as the Answer of the Ministers, olthough it proceeded immediately from his Hoyt! Highness. With this emotion we cannot avoid re• natuklag, that the motives of " ill-designing and turbulent men," however mischievous or malignant they may be, have no concern whatever with the conduct pursued by the Manchester yeomanry and Magistrates; their conduct can he estimated solely by reference to the proceedings at the Meeting, previous to the infuriated charge of the cavalry, and nothing but the existence of au actual riot, or a manifest tendency thereto on the part of the peo ple, could justify so dreadful a measure. The Ministers inform the Common Council, that " with the circumstances which preceded the late meeting at Manchester, they must be unac quainted, and that of those which intended it, they appear to have been incorrectly informed." Let our readers look to the very cautious statement of the events at Manchester, as detailed in the Ad dress, and any whether there is one point in it not supported by the accounts published in the Trea sury Papers of Manchester and London, and which for the purpose of enabling the public to form a correct judgment, we thought it our duty to transfer into our columns. If this statement in the Address be not substantially correct, no ac count which has appeared in any publication can boast a character of authenticity. In such a state of general ignorance, it would he very advisable if the Ministers would condescend to communicate to the world an official account of the transaction, which would, no doubt, contribute very much to dispel the present delusion, and would probably have the effect of rendering the Magistrates and yeomanry of Manchester the objects of national gra titude, instead of being, as they now are, the objects of repulsive horror. The ceremony of kissing hands was, we under stand, dispensed with on the occasion of presenting this Address, with the intention probably of con vincing the City of London that the Petaca RIiGENT was really displeased with the conduct of the Common Council. To have excited the 44 regret" of his Royal Highness must be a source of uneasiness to all those who concurred in the Address, but they have some consolation in reflect ing, that, in voting it, they have probably saved the Constitution of the country from a repetition of an undisguised act of military violence. It is much to he lamented, that, on a point of such vital importance, the feelings of the people in ge neral do not concur with those of the Sovereign. While the PRINCE REGENT " regrets" that the Common Council of London does not throw a veil over the errors of • few rash Magistrates in Man chester, the great body of the people of England honestly and sincerely " regret" that his Royal H:glitie- , should have been advised by his Ministers to identi fy himself with such men, and to entertain the belief that the impunity of a few individuals was of more importance to the country than the vindication of outraged rights, and the assertion of the true principles of the Constitution. Very copious details will be found in our Paper this day respecting the public Meeting held on Saturcily last at Meikleriggs Moor, near Paisley, and the subsequent outrages at Paisley and Glos. gow, it seem' that the Meeting was peaceably condlicted, and had separated without manifesting any indication of a riotous disposition, when, as some of the persons who hati . composed the Meeting were returning in a body through Paisley, on their way to Glasgow. bearing flags with inscriptions by, no means of a seditious nature, it pleased the Provost of Paisley to seise the flags. A short conteot ensued, but the Provost and constables were victorious, and the possession of the flags testified their triumph. The people, however, seemed uu willing to be thus deprived of their ensigns, and about ten o'clock they manifested their displeasure by a gonerel attack upon the Court House, the Po. Inc o:lice, and the Council Chamber. The pre. .M.JAV of the military was required to prevent fur ti.,; outrage ; but in this polut the Magistrates of 3' ;•Iry displayed a temper and forbearance which dots them infinite honour. There was in Pai.ley ro ustuton massacre of the inhabitants; a drunken reb!,'e, dressed in military uniform, with arms in their hawds, were not let loose upon another rabble #44.., although the conduct of the mob was ex. tiritit ly 'intent, sod would have justified the rice. ..e of any severity. Theriertion• of the Magistrate. and , be Civil Power alone were finally sufficient to I It lir the streets, and tranqsillity was restored. On the following night, however, the tumult was rroeisest, when the military diapersed the rioters, rad restored security to the public without blood shed J Some violence also took place in Glu. gow, but the prudence and forbearance of the Magistrates had, when the latest accounts left the place, been eminently successful in preventing the progress of mischief. Many pripotiers have been made, and we doubt not that the laws will be found fully adequate to vindicate themselves. A Meetioc of the Inhabitants of Norwich was held on Thursday in that City, when a series of Resolutions. and an Address founded thereon to the Patrice REGENT, condemning the conduct of the Magistrates and yeomen no the late transactions at Manchester, were carried with only one dissentient voice. The gentleman who courted this notoriety announced himself an officer in the navy : no doubt one who has no objection to command a good ship. A sketch of the proceedings is given in another part of our Papc.r. We have received Frankfort Papers to the 10th instant, and find with some surprise, that they are altogether silent respecting the rumour of the King of SWEDEN'S anassination, which the Quelidienne affirms had prevailed in that town on the 7th. The only allusion they make to the Royal Family of Sweden, is to contradict the statement that Prince OSCAR was expected at N uremberg on a visit to his mother. The people of Baden have not escaped the con legion of that infuriated spirit which has in many other parts of Germany made the Jews the objects of persecution. But the Government of Baden has shewn more energy for the maintainance of its own character, and the preservation of the public tranquillity, than has been displayed in other States. The Grand Duke has issued a very severe edict against all persons insulting the Jews, and has made the Christiars of every commune responsible for whatever outrages end injuries may be inflicted upon the inhabitanti of the Jewish persuasion. It is strange that in company with this persecuting spirit, the love of civil liberty is likewise extending itself in Germany. Unaccountable inconsistency ! that the seine persons should pant for the enjoyment of freedom in their own persons, and yet *hew themselves unworthy of the blessing by refusing it at the same moment to others. The people of Hesse have demanded from the Elector the eats. blisliment of a free Constitution within the Elec torate. When all the minor States of Germany shall have attained Constitutional Governments, we may hope that this inestimable blessing will be extended to the larger and more important. Sir Edward Baker, &wt. did not resign his ap pointment as Military Secretary in Ireland, but retired on a pension of 1,400/. The office will not again be filled up, but the duties thereof ere to be discharged by Edward O'Connor, Eaq. the pre rent First Clerk in that office. On the 16th instant a writ will be issued for the election of a Member for the county of Longford. Our Readers already know that the Spaniard, would not ratify the l'reaty for ceding the Florida, to the Americans. Letters have been received from Charleston, in 22 days, which state that every preparation was making in America, in expectation of a rupture with Spain : vessels were fitting out at every era-port, and a general bootie was observed in all the Military and Naval Departments. The po pular feeling was much in favour of war, and front the depressed state of trade, every thing favourable was anticipated by the inhabitants, should such an event take place. The Hon. C. H. Hutchinson has written a hand some complimentary letter, for himself and fellow Grand Jurors, to the Rev. Mr. Quarry, inspector of the City Gaol and Bridewell of Cork, for his very meritorious discharge of his duties in that office. By the last arrival from Chili, a variety of parti culars relative to Lord Cochrane have been coin municated, which have not hitherto been made public. The neutral vessels that were in the har bour of Callao at the time the blockade was an nounced, made sail from thence on the 1 Ith of March, and proceeded to the port of Guarmey. Lord Cochrane had shown every disposition to fa vour and protect British merchant ships, and a per fectly good understanding subsisted. in consequence, between him and their commanders and super cargoes. An opinion was entertained in Guarmey, where the real state of Lima was well known, that if 6,000 troops could advance to support the block ade by Lord Cochrane, the city would certainly fall. It' appears by a letter, dated Santiago de Chili, Anril 40, that the measure of declaring Callao hi a stet* of blockade was unexpected ou, the part of the Chiliats Government ; and that they were by IMO means pleased wit's s step which deprived it. in the existing difficulties,of 200,000 dollars revenue, which the cargoes of the vessels from Lima would have 'supplied. No expectation existed in Chili that any irruption or attack could fur a coosiderable period be made upon Lima. One regiment and a squadron of cavalry had passed the Andes for that destination, but no others were to follow, the army being under orders to cross the Continent for the defence of Buenos Ayres, where tlw expected aristatueut front Cadiz had already bee the object of great soli citude awl anxiety. Lord Cochrane had levied a contribution of 70,000 dollars on the inhabitants of the town of Guarmey, which were the first fruits. in plunder, of has expedition against Liina. The number of sailors who were British subjects an Iboard his squadron was about 850; and, with a view to the encouragement of his companions in arias, he had distributed among them, as prize money, 100 dollars each man ; deferring for the present, un his own port, any shine of the spoil. The remainder of ilia Bret was composed of Creoles cod Chileans. Ills views against the rich fleet from Panama to Lima, tinder the convoy of the Cleopatra frigate, have been before mentioned. It is stated,- on the information of a vessel that ar rived at Valparaiso -about the 11th Nay, that this first was within sight when she Tinted Lord Cochrane's squadron. ;• ez .- *Aft • . : 4.r° r% -; # 0 • 7 .c_01,.•,..)• " THEATRES. COVINT-G RDCX. The comic opera of Gay Manncriag was last night performed, in which Mr. PHILIPPS made his first appearance as Harry Bertram. lie looked the character uncommonly well, and atilril the gal lint, open-hearted soldier, with due spirit. His singing was excellent: it was alike distinguished by taste, power. mud feeling. The first air, a pretty lively movement, / 'II lore thee night and day, was given in a beautifully atiiinated vtyle, and was much admired. The introduced air of The Bard's Legacy, from Mooites Melodies, was executed with a felicity of expression thut insured a ge neral encore. It was indeed a charming exem plification of the simple and pathetic, of the tasteful and 'melodious, in bingin g. In the third act, Mr. Puti.tors introduced Scots wha hoe we Wallace bled ! which lie saug with coosider able power. The recollection of Mr. !IRANIAN'S excellence in this air evidently deprived him of the plaudits of those who estimate an individual's talents, not by a due examination of their extent, but by a comparison with the abilities of men who have preceded him. Mr. Pin LIPPS'S pert of the opening duet with Miss MATTHEWS. mid his tiortion of the finale, were admirably executed, and were greatly applauded. Miss M. TRES assumed the character of Lucy Bertram, for the first time. She warbled most delicately. Her beautiful ballad, 0! hash thee, my darling! which she executed gracefully sod sweetly, was rapturously encored. In the course of the evening. the introduced the agreeable air of The last Bose of Summer, with winch the audience were much delighted. Mr. LISTON did not ap pear to be in spirits—and was consequently less comic in his delineation of Dominic. Sampson, than he usually is. Mr. EMERY . S Menthe Din moat exhibited • rich vein of genuine The scene with Meg Merrilies was acted iii the hest style of this excellent performer. Mr. BLANCHARD. particularly in Gilbert Glossin's drunken scene, gave a very correct picture of th e overhearing attorney. The trifling character of Baillie Mucklethrift, which tutor SIMMONS was wont to render so amusing. was performed for the first time by Mr. J. Russe:t.t., with considerable comic effect. Mrs. YATES played the nu:ll,4OlC 'net of Meg Nerrilies, with force and discrimi nation. Before the opera commenced, the Duke and Duchess of KENT, and the Princess FEODOR (the daughter of the Duchess), entered the PRI NC E . S box. They were immediately recognized by the audience, and greeted with enthusiastic applause. " (;od sure the King!" was called for—and was performed amidst the loudest expressious of loyalty. At the termination of the opera, this popular air was again demanded. It wan performed by the orchestra, but a considerable portion of the audi ence insisted that it should be again tang. The curtain drew up for the farce of The critic, but the audience would not Isere she pe►formance to pro cued. Mr. CON Nos, who appeared as Mingle, came forward, and stated that the song had been performed on the entrance of the Duke and Du chess. The audience, however, would have it exe cuted again—end it was finally sung by Mr. Du- Amur, Miss M•TTHEWS. Mr. BLANCHARD, and a party of the chorus singers. The house was very full.

The following are copies of the City Address. presented yeiiterday to the Prince Regent, and of his Royal Iliginiere.'4 Answer:— " To his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Regent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire. land ; " The hiimble Address and Petition of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, I. Common Connell assembled : " May it please your Royal Highness, " We his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of Lon don, in Common C sssss icil as,embted, humbly approach your Royal Hiplines; with feelings of the most serious alarm and regret at the extraordinary and calamitous proceedings which have recently taken place at Manchester. " We humbly represent to your Royal Highness, that un der the tree principles of the British Constitution ' it is the undoubted right of Englishmen to amenable togeth er for this purpose of deliberatime upon public grievances, as well as uu the legal and cutiatitutieual meaus of obtaining redress. " That for the exercise of this right, a Meeting was held at Manchester on the 16th August last, and without enter jog into the policy or prudence of convening such Assembly, it appears to us. from the isformation which has transpired, that the said Meeting was legally assembled-.-tbal Ile pro ceedings were conducted in au orderly and peaceable man ner—and that the people composing it were ilsergArglctiag under the sanction of the laws, and entitled to tie protec tion of the Magistrat es. " We have nevertheless learnt, with grief and amesisb ment, that while the Meeting was so assembled, and when no act of riot or tumult had taken place, the Magistrates issued their warrants for the apprehension of certain persons there present; for the execution of whit*, although so re sistance was made on the part of the people, or those against whom HMI warrants were issued, they Immediately resorted to the aid of the military—wken, without any pre vious warning of their intention, the Manchester yeomanry cavalry, suddenly rushing forward, opened a passage abreast the multitude. furiously attacking, by former arms, peace able and mot:fending citizens, whereby great numbers of them, women and children, and even peace (bilkers, were in discriminately and wantonly rode over, and many inhumanly sabred and killed. - . " We feel ourselves called upon to express to your Royal Highness oar strongest indignation at time unprovoked and intemperate proceedings, which we cannot view but as highly disgraceful to the character of Englishmen, and • daring violation of the British Constitution. " That from your Royal Highness's known and declared attachment to the Constitution ■nd the Laws, we feel the most decided conviction that your Royal Rightness never could have been induced to 'sperm you► approval of the conduct of the abettors and perpetrators of theme atrocities, had not your Royal confidence beets abused by interested and misrepresented statements of this illegal aad fatal transaction. _ _ _ " We humbly submit to your Royal Highness, that at a time when the great body of his Majesty's subjects ere suf fering ostler the severest privations, however erroneous may be their ideas as to the means of redress, a kind and conci liating attention to their complaints, is equally called for, by policy and justice, mud that depriving them of the means of expressing their grievances by cruelty sad despotism, can only tend to increase the present discontents, destroy public confidence in the pure and equal adosisistration of justice, excite disaffection, and lead to acts of apes vio knee or secret revenge. " We therefore humbly pray that in order to avert these calamities, to wisiatain the authority of the law, and to protect the lives and liberties of the subjects, your Royal Highness will be graciously pleased to osetitste an imme diate and effectual inquiry into the ostrages that bare been committed, and cause the guilty perpetrators thereof to be brought to signal and condign punishment. • " Sipped by order of Court, " HENRY WOODTHORPE."

Mr. Guise, a surgeon, examined the body of the woman shortly after she died on the 2sth July. and could find no mark of violence upon the body which would warrant a supposition that she haul met her death by violence. There was no mark of external injury which could justify an opinion that she had met a violent death in any mariner. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of NO ROBBERY. Mary Wybro was indicted for Pre:l4l)g 101. Ss. in silver Irvin Matthew Harrison, in his dwriling house. Hannah. the wife of Matthew Harr son, stated. that she lived at No. 30, Long-alley, Moor where her husband was • green-grocer.

Cress-examined by Mr. Anol.rHUS.—She knew the Prisoner four or live months before site took her into custody ; her character was good, and she ad mitted that at a party given by her (witness's) daughter, the Prisoner contributed towards the ex. prose.

He took her into custody. and as he was carrying her along to the office site said she had taken some of she money, but not so much as she was charged with.
