LONDON, SATURDAY, Au curl. 5, 1826. iVe have received the Etoile of Thursday, along with the other French papers of Wednesday. The following are SOCae extracts:— [From the Etat', datcdAugust 3.) Tire Russian Plenipotentiaries at the Congress of Ackermann ar med there on the 3d, and the conferences with the Turkish Com missioners were to commence on the 13th July. it is said the plague has broken out at Rudackink. A rigorous q,:arantine has been ordered. Tile Court of Peers declared yesterday that there was no ground tor proceeding against the ,military Intendant Sicard, and the some declaration Was: made as to 31. Ouvranl. A discussion then arose on the question as to whether 31. Ouvrard should be sent tut - ore the Correctional Police, for an unaccepted attempt at bribery, or be set at liherty. The discussion was postponed until to-morrow, when the Court will hear the Procureur de Rol on the subject. They write from Cmstantinople, under date of July 3, as fi•l:ows:—" The Sultan is always on horseback, and continually I.l: ,, plays the same firmness. The desire to receive military in. stv:crion is as great as ever, and Frenchmen are everywhere sought tor, to instruct the new troops. Constantinople is a kind of camp. Commerce, however, is at a complete stand." TRIESTE, JETT 20. It is now more than three weeks since we received any direct news from the Peloponnesus. The Greeks woo are here expect with great impatience the packet from Corfu, hoping by it to re. ceive some information respecting the arrival of Lord Cochrane, which was announced as near at hand. On the lith of July the great tower of the Ilotel de Ville, at Lemberg, in Galicia, which was built in 1191, fell, and buried ►everal parsons in its ruins. ftt•'e have seen a private letter from Constantinople, which eon. tains many details of the events which have taken place in that capital. It fully confirms the news which we gave. Aga Pacha, who was the hero of the three days, has been made Khan, or Prince, and Generalissimo of all the troops of Constantinople and its enviruns. His present title is Seraskier Pacha. Eight or ten years ago he was only a simple Janissary. He has raised himself by his courage, his devotion to the Grand Seigner, and his aeve. tit) tossed' the Janissaries. We learn from Besancon that a Councillor of Prefecture, after a sharp dispute with his family, has killed his son and put an end to his own existence. ST. OMER, JULY 20. The situation of the camp is one of the fittest that could be chosen. After the battle of Waterloo, the English, to the num ber or 15,000, occupied it four months. The camp is in the pls. teau, and in front of the little village of llerfault ; it faces St. Orner,l:.nn which it is a league and a half distant ; no situation *as ever more favourable to the health of the troops. The sur. rounding country is varied in such a manner as to be adapted to ail kinds of manceuvres, usual in front of an enemy. The light 'ann, may easily exercise as tiralienrs. On seeing the troops of the camp at St. Omer, we tray confi dently say what we are most anxious to declare. that the army is lire sr.d excellent; it never was better armed or better disciplined, Treq.aent exercises takes place, each division manteuvres sepa rate!), and they are wilted Only every Friday, on the heath of St. Omer. A kiln& of the division encamped is daily employed in erect. ;,it a fort, which will be besieged in form. The troops arc frequently exercised in &Ides a mark. A ..ang sheplind wishing to pick up a spent ball, imprudently ap I... , asJed a butt, and nut being observed, was killed. . • ST. PETERSBUIII.II, JULY IL We are still in expectation of the fate reserved for the numerous accomplices In the conspiracy of the month of December. So many (armies are interested in the result, that it hes a general In toisercea so that St. Petersburgh Is fez from being gay. The Emperor, whoa, bean participates in the affiiection of the many distinguished psytioat •ho are in such cruel perplexity, denies himself every kind of tiv'ervien and public show. On the day of his fete the Emperor datlal 4404 Zarskojesalo, or receive on the I.hh, which was the Ei=peare birth-day, the Court also remained at that residence, a ;atlas. was no reception. On this occasion the Czar appointed hoe illiajtetty the Empress Commander of the itel„inient of the Noble OssriL She entered on her office in the morning, and Ye t:viol at the levee the report of the corps. Since the great Catha. rase so Empress has enjoyed the prerogative. This nomination, v.aitirhas caused much pleasure in the capital, has tilled with joy the regiment on which so great a favour has been conferred. St is affirmed the sentence of the conspirators will be pronounced i a week, and that only fire or six will suffer capital punishment, anal that the Emperor will i pmmute the punishment of the others • may be capitally eotelimeractl. The generosity and delicacy of me Errpernr's conduct. tinier these unhappy circumstances, can serest be vro mach admired. The following is one instance, among utar•.y ntlic!N ; it hos caused a great sensation. General 3lichsel Orloff has been euitleained ma lase his military rank, to keep ilir,4 -- . ~,,, •i": -:--..-- A . . ,; aOH : . t s: l- .

Being released after this sentence, and accompanied by an officer, appointed to conduct him to his destination, he set out for the interior, avoiding the towns on the road. Meantime the Em peror was informed that Countess I was at Moscow, in ex peetarion of her accouchement, and immediately he despatched a messenger after the husband, with a permission for him to go to his wife, and remain with her till after her delivery. 11 is unexpected arrival mad. 83 agreeable an impression on the Countess, that her deliver, proved uncommonly fortunate. The departure of the Emperor for 3loseew still remains fixed for the end of the month ; but it is still subortlidate to the affair of the conspiracy. It was said yesterday that the Coronation would be deceived till the 27M of August ; but this needs confirmation. While the (hand Hike :Michael was at St. Petersburgh, that Prince, who Is at the heath of the School of Artillery, desired that the Duke of Ragusa, who commenced his military career in that branch of the science; should visit that fine establishment. He calle3 fur him at his hotel in an open chaise, made him sit on his right hand, and drive through the whole city with him. For some days part we have had very great heat, which is the more in tolerable, as it is accompanied with a thick fog, mingled with sutoke, which hinders us from seeing even the great buildings at the distance of two hundred paces. This smoke arises from the immense marshy heaths round St. Petersburgh, which hate been on tire for some days; the ground is a turfy bottom, over which is moss several feet in depth, covered with small firs ; a crust of saltpetre has formed on the surface. It is not known how these marshes have taken fire, which has aprestl in spite of every exertion made to stop it, over an extent of several leagues. From the tops of the buildings in the city, we can see the lines of fire which run along the ground. The combustion is not accompanied flames, but emits a very thick and hot smoke which severely effects the eyes. No one remembers any thing of the kind in this neigh bourhood. Reattmur's thermometer is always at 23 deg. in the shade, ant' there Is not a breath of air. !From the Pi late.] have now before us a letter from Madrid, conceived in the following terms:—" It appears that the affairs of Portugal are about to give a better turn to those of our own country. :tl. Reca. cho is at this moment with the King, who they say is almost de termined on adopting a new order of things, convinced by expert. ence, and the wise observations of men who love their country, that in pursuing the present course there can be nothing for Spain but misery and &opinion. It is said that the French Goverment. on its part, has spoken frankly to the King on the necessity of giving to his subjects a Constitutional Charter, on the same basis with that of France. It is declared its consequence, that the new Minis. try which is to carry this alteration into effect is already named. I. the Count d'Ofalla is to replace the Duke del Inf IIA Minis ter for Foreign affairs. 31. Fernandes del Vino is to succeed 31. Calomarde, as Minister of Grace and Justice. 31. Recaeho is to be Minister of the Interior (tlii4 office is a new creation); and, lastly, Messieurs Cror and Juana Pinilla are to replace, the first 31. Zambrano as Minister of War, the second 31. Ballasteros as Minister of Finance. The Minister of Marine, M. Salazar, will continue to bold his portfolio. It appears that an amnesty, without restriction, is to be prepared immediately. All the persons to whom the amnesty extends may enjoy situations under Government with out any of their former political opinions being considered an ob stacle." We hope. for the %Ware of Spain, that all this intelligence may henna:used. _ _ [From the COn/nintinitnt./.1 CONSTANTINOPLE, JI'LY 1. Blood continues to flow by the sabre of the Amours, and of some wretches enrolled under the banners of the Sultan, which are those of anarchy and murder. A son of Yell Pasha, the son of Ali of Janina (like railer like son), issuing from the obscurity of the Se raglio, in which he had been shut up with the itchoglana, distin guishes himself at the head of the Purgators charged with the exe culian of the suspected Janissaries, anti of those rich persons who are designated as Janissaries. The spoils of the rich have befiene the prey of the soldier, and the populace is its abundance, in coese quence of the provisions which are given to them, in order to Induce them to lend a hand in the great work of the regeneration of the ormnian empire. Every individual known for his senti ments of hatred against the Janissaries has a carte blanche to do as he pleases. Thus it his pleased Mahmoud 11., who cried out. in a sort of inspiration, " Kill ! my friends, kill Allah knows his • own, and be who is not for us is against us." It has not been found necessary to repeat this twice, and it is a pity to see what passes, if one did not know that those vanquished to-day will do the same thiug as soon as they gain the upper hand. These barbarians, besides, are doing justice upon themselves, and in that point of view Heaven protects the cause of the Creeks. Would one believe, for example, that the Janissaries, who arc thrown by detachments of thirty prisons upon the coast of Asia, are all killed, if a single one of them does not appear at the cull the moment of their embarkatien or disembarks. Lion. Thus twenty-nine individuals answer with their heads for the escape of a single proscribed person. They even make use of this pretence in order to kill them by sending fewer victims on board than are inscribed on the taken& In the midst of these bloody orgies it is impossible any longer to conceal the revolts in Adrianople, Silistria, Sophia, Butschuk, and the fortresses on the Danube, where the Janissaries have proclaimed, 3lalimoud the Second to be an apostate, a destroyer of the Religion of the l'rophet, and an enemy to the true be lievers. It appears that anathemas am joined to this seditious proclamation, against the Armenian 31uphti, and that every body runs to arms. Things are still more menacing in Asia Minor. and it appears that the . lollah Hundglar of Iconium, Spiritual Chief of all the Janissaries of the empire, has declared the Sultan, the Muphti, and their adherents, gisiours (infidels), senates (heretics), and several other titles of the same sort, so that everywhere there is schism, political and religious, and something still worse, for the glorious empire of Turkey is menaced with a general convulsion. In a few days I shall probably have to announce to you a reaction, for things go on in a way which will accelerate terrible events. The number of executions since the 25th June amounted to more than 50110, in Scutari alone anti the Straits, which make a thousand individuals despatched every day.—Allah Kerins (God is great.)

The more we consider the subject, the more we are per suaded that there is a sort of alternate rise and fan—a sort of summer and winter, in the state of trade, which neither foresight can prevent nor wisdom remedy—which depends on causes, over which human ingenuity can exercise no controul—which begins, proceeds, and terminates by laws, as fixed and as immutable (generally speaking) as those which regulate the motions of the heavenly bodies. Though we may alleviate our sufferings—though we may provide for such crises, by contriving methods to protect oursely's against their consequences—all the endeavours of the human mind, as at present constituted, will be found incapable of effectually preventing such seasons of Gala ' mity. An article in the Eilinburgli Review proposes three remedies for the present distress. After going into a long detail, to show that over-production is the cause of the late revulsion, and making an observation on the encouragement given by Government to speculation, by promoting the reduction of interest, thelteviewer concludes as follows : We hope we have sufficiently indicated the various means by which the temptation to engage in these improvident enterprises may be most effectually diminished. and their pernicious conse quences mitigated or averted : the first consists in the establish ment of such a system of free intercourse with other countries u would give greater steadiness both to the demand for, and the supply of, commodities: the second, in plating of the currency ~11 such a secure and solid foundation, as would prevent such violent oscillations in its amount and value as have been experienced since 1793: and the third, in the more general diffusion of sound infor mation among all classes of the community, but especially among merchants. The details into which we have entered show how very ill the true principles of commerce and of money are yet under. stood by the public. Had our bankers and merchants been gene rally aware of the circumstances which determine the value of money, and the tests by which it may always be discovered when it is becoming redundant, and when therefore a recoil may be ex pected, It is quite impossible that the late crisis could have occurred. The danger would have been foreseen while it was time to avert it, and bankruptcy and ruin would not have assailed us at the very trotnent we were boasting most loudly of our prosperity. The views of the writer are evidently contracted, and the remark concerning the reduction of interest ir; one of those to which Opposition writers have of late been so fre quently reduced, a quibble against a measure, which was originally approved by those very writers themselves. it THE BRITISH PRESS. Lord LIVERPOOL might have destroyed all the means of speculation, he could then, no doubt, have prevented over-I production. The lowness of interest was evidently bene• kW to trade, and the. Edinburgh Reviewer would do well to recall to his recollection the remarks of that journal on the Usury Laws the ',elf lime he takes it in his head to criticise the measures of Government. If Lord LIvERrooI. could say to the sea with effect, " hitherto shalt thou go , and no further," he might with reason be blamed for pro moting what is good in itself, because it has been carried so far as to become bad. Till the Reviewer can point out how the exact proportion of supply to demand is to be de termined, and what portion of the supply is to be assigned to each trader, he may tell us ter'/ triad!, what's o'clock till doomsday, without our being able to regulate the political machine to his time. CITY., FRIDAY Evzwixo. This has been a day of considerable business, Cona sole, which opened at 754, having gradually advanced to 794 1, at which price there were buyers at the close of the market. Whether the prospect of improvement in the state of the trade of the country alone has effected this rise, or whether it may not have assisted the goers for an advance, and have induced them to become purchasers to a large amount, may be matter of doubt. At the same time it may be subject of fair supposition that, if the country is slowly emerging from her difficulties, it will not he any where more apparent than in the rise of the Funds. The removal of a portion of the immense capital which at present overloads the market will have the best effect. Exchequer Bills are at a premium of 20 to 21, and Indian Bonds have advanced 40 YO y 7. In the Foreign .Nlarket little has been done. Mexican have declined to 53, and Colombian remain at 35, as yesterday. In Spanish Bonds little or nothing was done. An account of the arrival of the Neptune from Rio, off the Start, on her way to Antwerp, was received this morning ; but it ii fair to suppose the pilot boat that brought the in telligence did not land any letters, or else some move in the Foreign market would have been made. There is no alteration in the price of the French Funds by the accounts received this day. The Tlalpuxalitta Shares continue to be the most market able, at an increase of 5 per cent. since yesterday, being now 25 premium. Brazilian remain stationary at 15, and Colombian are at 20 premium. The Colonial Market, although not much aided by in creased demand to-day, still remains steady. Sugars are as kw, while CoKe3 show a trifling advance. On the whole, it is satisfactory to see the steadiness of this part of trade, inasmuch as it is an assurance that other branches are looking upwards. In the Corn Market, nothing is done beyond what necessity prompts, In the way of buyers ; the week show ing a decrease in the price of Wheat of about 3s. The prices of other grain remain nearly the same. COLOMBIA. The following are the principal articles of a decree which passed the Colombian Congress on the 19th of May last, for consolidating the whole (Celt of the Republic, both foreign and domestic, and for providing for the payment of the interest : Art.

The Tribunal of Correctional Police at Paris has been occupied with an affair which presents suffici.attly extraordinary details. A what family, consisting of the father, mother, a yowng child, and a sister of the mother, made a narrow escape front suffering in the 19th century the same fate as the unfortunate I:golino, whose mis fortune Dante has described in an admirable episode of his Itifrtrar and what is still more extraordinary is, that it was the members of this family who appeared at the bar of the Correctional Police as accused of breaking inelosii res. The following are the facts which have given rise to this singular trial:—The Sieur Gouirond is the proprietor or a house situated in the Court of Menilmontant. Thin house has no other issue but the Court itself, which belongs jointly to the Sieur Gouirond, and to the Sieure Bellefleur. Rou. tier, &c. It appears that Gouirund was bound by the terms of runtime to cause the passage to be paved, and that he did not fulfil this obligation. A lawsuit was commenced in consequence before the Tribunal of First Instance : after which a judo - tent was delivered, which was confirmed :It the Court Royale. Its declaim' was, that in the space of two months Goui rued should be obliged to cause the passage to be paved ; if not, that Bellefleur and the others should have a right to shut it up. The Judges, in ordering this measure, undoubtedly did not know that this was decreeing an actual blockade. However that may be, on the expiration of the two months the family of Gouirond one rooming found the passage shut by a goof harricado of planks, which interrupted all communication with the exterior. A phy 111CiAll, who had been called in to visit a sick child, could not pene trate into the house. The woman Gouirond, and the woman Tra pier, her sister-in-law, being in danger of dying with hunger, took, ' the er e a hatchet, and the other a saw, and soon made& wide breach in the rampart which separated them from the rest of the living. It was this action that gave rise to the complaint of breaking Melo sum, directed by Bellefleur, &c. against the family of Gouirond. The Advocate of the plaintiff began with along history of the lawsuit, which the President interrupted, by asking him if he admitted that the house of Gouirond had no other issue but the count Menilmontant ? The Advocate, while he admitted this fact, argiaed on the au thority of a judgment. The closing of the mugs had been or dered by a sovereign decree, add he, if Gouirond did not fulfil his obligations. The delay allowed had expired, consequently Belle. fleur had a right to execute the judgment. It will be mid, per. haps, that the family of Gouirond were in dagger of dying by hunger ; I admit it ; hut that consideration could not prevent the execution of the judgment. it'hy did not they fulfil their obli gations% These arguments, developed with much sang froid by the Advo. eate, were not received in the same way by the auditory, and Pe court, the King's Advocate, by some argument full of wisdom, removed all imputations of crime. The Tribunal, without giving the defender of the accused time to address it, declared them sc. weituul of the crime, because they had not had any intention to commit an outrage against another person's property ; but only to provide for the pressing wants of the r subsistence. FIUME DELEGATES TO THE MINISTERS. A few days ago a deputation from the distressed manufacturers and workmen connected with the woollen cloth trade of the town of Frome in the county of Somerset, waited upon Mr. Peel, to re. quest that he would present a petition to the King, praying for what they considered a remedy for the existing distresses of that trade—a law to abolish the use of certain pares of the machinery - , by the use of which the employment of halals has become less ne cessary, and numbers of workmen have been thrown ottt of em ployment. They were, as they state themselves, most graciously received by the Right Honourable Secretary fur the Home Depart ment, who grunted them a patient and attentive hearing. Upon presenting the petition to Mr. Peel, they stated that they had just left an immense number of their toss molten in the greatest possible distress, out of employment, and without any visible pro bability of being able to save dieting:lris from starvation. Mr. PEEL expressed great astonishment at the assurance made by Mr. Greenland, one of the Deputation, that there was any dis tress in the West of England. lie could scarcely credit out h a re port, as it had never reached his ears through any other channel. lie was, he said, perfectly aware of, and he deeply lamented the fact, that the woollen-manufacturers of Yorkshire were sufferkg severe privations, but he had no notion of the foundation which existed for what he had just heard of the manufacturing mule- Lion of Frome. Mr. GREENLAND declared that it was not in the power of the Deputation to give an overcharged repreientation of what the peo ple of Frome were suffering. Mr. PEEL begged to be informed what was the opinion of the most intelligent persons at Frome, as to the causes of this distress. The Deputation then pointed out some particular portions of the machinery, by the operations of which, combined with that of the Corn Laws and other measures of desperate severity upon the poor, the people were, they said, reduced almost to the lest extremity. In their description of the machinery they were not a little sur prised to find that Mr. Peel was wholly unacquainted with the technical phraseology, although one of their principal reasons for going direct to him was, that they believed him to have some knowledge of the business to which he owed his present elevation. The SEe It ET ART, after having listened most attentively tolevery thing the Deputation had to say, expressed his regret at the condi tion of the poor, but lamented that he could hold out to them to hopes of a remedy. He was not aware that Parliament could suggest, or Government adopt, any means of altering the present condition of things. " And what in the name of God is to be done It" said the Depu tation. The SECRETARY said that the evil, although great, must cure itself. How could the Ministers, who had urged the manufacturers to lay out immense awns of money in machinery, turn round upon those manufacturers and compel them to abandon what they had en. couraged them to adopt in the first instance i The Deputation thought that by mere strenuously urging the extreme necessity of the case, they might induce the Secretary to advocate the subject in Parliament. Ile declared that the sufferers must have patience under the infliction, and the evil would cer. candy cure itself ; and lie acknowledged to them that he felt lie could not conscientiously support a measure calculated to ao irre parable injury to the manufacturers, who had expended such enor mous capital in machinery. The Deputation then left Mr. Peel in absolute despair, and ap. plied for advice to Mr. Hunt, to whom they commitnicved the result of their conference with the Secretary. .Mr. Hunt, who had been fully acquainted with the distress of the manufacturing popu lation of Erotic, during his camas for Somersetshire, suggested to them the propriety of waiting on the Right Honourable George Canning, w:totn, we understand from the Deputation, he represented as being it finitely more capable, and possessing better means, as .well as stronger inclination, to relieve them, than the Secretary for the 110111 e Department. Upon this suggestion they determined to act; and t.',ey accordingly went to Downing-street on Thursday last, anti requested an interview with Mr. Canning by the follow ; ing note : " Sd August, 1826. " Sir—A deputation from the manufacturers and unemployed workmen of the town of Frome, in the county of Somerset, having brought a petition to be presented to his Majesty through Mr. Secretary Peel, would fed highly honoured if you could afford them an interview on this interesting and highly important subject. " I am, Sir, for the Deputation, " Your moat obedient, most humble servant, " &trysts:se GREENLAND. " To the Right Hon. George Canning." The Deputation were however disappointed. The clerk or officer in waiting, to whom they applied, upon hearing what ttuir business was, told them that Mr. Gunning's time would be occupieol for that and the rwo following days in conferences with Ministers of Foreign States. They, therefore, apprehensive that some days might elapse before they could obtain an lute. view with Mr. Canning, and find ing that their busineu would not allow of longer delay, left town last night. They, however, before they went, waited upon Mr. Hunt, and put into his hand the papers containing the particulars of their ease, with a most urgent request that he would endeavour to obtain an interview with Mr. Canning, and implore him to give some portion of his attention to their dreadful condition. Alt. Hunt promised to do all in his power on the occasion. lie would endeavour to gain an interview with Mr. Canning. who, he had no doubt, would give their case the most compassionate attention. AVM' this assurance the Deputation departed, with some taint hopes of relief. PARTY, The fmntess of Antrim entertained a select party at c.:innt.r terday, at her house in Derkoley-square. "MOVEMENTS.

The literature of this country will shortly derive a very valuable acquisition by the publication of a work under the above title, exemplified by a series of illustrations, with descriptive accounts of the house and galleries of Jahn Soane, Esq. Professor of Architecture in tl.e Royal . Act. demv, F.R.S., F.S.A. ; &c., by John Britton, Esq. F.S.A., F.R S.L., &c., which we have no hesitation in predicting, from the well-known classic attainments and highly cold. voted talents of Mr. Brttton, will be prized as a " brilliant of the finest water - by all true admirers of the Fine Arts. The professional characteristics of Mr. Sosne's works must he so generally known to the architect, and to all persons who take an interest in the Fine Arts of the country, as to render it unnecessary, on our part, to pass any eulugium on the refined and classic taste of this accomplished architect. Many edifices, both in London and in different parts of the kingdom, have been raised from his designs, and testify at once his science andfancy. I The Bank of England alum will ever remain a lacing I monument to perpetuate his name to posterity, as one of the brightest ornaments of the profession he has chosen, and rendering him deserving to be ranked, in pointof genius and talent, with a Michael Angelo, a Burlington, a Janes, and a Wren. Ilis own house is filled with a large teller tion of antique fragments of architecture and sculpture; casts from the choicest specimens of ancient Art, drawings and prints almost innumerable, also numerous manuscripts and books of great value and rarity. These may be said to constitute the treasury of knowledge, the storehouse of wisdom, and are of inestimable value when properly ap. preciated and applied. Had lnigo Jones, Sir Christopher Wren, and Sir John Vanbrugh, possessed such treasures, and the wealthy part of the community known how to appreciate and patronize genius thus aided, our churches, palaces, and mansions, would have presented different features to those they now exhibit ; and we may safely in fer that England would have escaped much of that re ' proach she has experienced from foreign, and even from her own, critics. Mr. Sdatte has most successfully de voted a long and active life to se'..,rn and honour his pro , fession, and has collected around him a valuable mass of C materials, to illustrate the beauties and record the history • of Architecture, which the volume to which we have before alluded is intended to represent and describe. -- • f FA S i . )16 14, "LT •1 ,3 -4 - Did NC H STER. (raost OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING, Ave. S. The general opinion here now is, that the crisis of the present embarrassments of the manufacturing interests in this county is over, and there is no doubt but circum stances corroborate that opinion. It is well ascertained that the usual country purchasers kept aloof from this mars ket, in the expectation of a continued decline of prices ; it is also known that their supply of goods is reduced, and that they cannot longer refrain flroM purchasing, in order to have a supply for their customda. The stock of goods on hand in this marketis very low,owingto the stoppage of some of the factories, and the sales which have been made for the foreign demand, and there were also limited purchases necessarily made for home consumption. Want of confi dence formed no small ingredient in the cause, or at least in the continuance of the embarrassment which prevailed, and the very idea of a renewal of trade will tend greatly to the restoration of it and enterprise, which will give employ ment, comfort, and their necessary associate, tranquillity. to the working classes; indeed ,the prospects of returning prosperity to all classes are so bright and decided, as to leave no doubt on the minds of the inhabitants that the worst is over. Within the last few days two factories have recommenced operations, and others are expected to commence work shortly. With these expectations there has arisen a corresponding degree of cheerfulness and sa tisfaction amongst the inhabitants, and rumours of tumul tuous meetings of the operatives subside, and it is now generally believed that the one so generally spoken of during the last few weeks will not take place. The result of an application which was this day made to the church wardens will, in all probability,. be the last attempt to get • up such a meeting. Mr. John Potter and Mr. Richard Potter waited this Morning on the Churchwardens with the requisition, a copy of which appeared in your I'aper last week. Since that period the number of signatures to it inercased to 123. The names attached to it are principally manufacturers and tradesmen, and include some respectable persons. In about an hour after the deputation called upon the Church wardens, the following answer was sent by the latter :-- Churchwardens Office, Ang. 3,1821 i. Gentlemen,—The objects contained in the requisition (so nu merously and respectably signed) presented to us this slay, not being on parochial business, we consider it out of our province to call a meeting of the Ley-payers of the town ; and merefore spectfully beg leave to decline it.
