I' H SUN. lOLEM Ql!I:t-i ac V&LSUM nuDE ? 4) N D IV, SATURDAY, Arm. 11, ISM; By a private letter from Car!sham, dated the 22d OA. we learn that a Declaration of War by Russia against France has been issued, dated the Igth ult. The contents of the Swedish Papers which arriv ed last night with the Anhoh Mails, manifest some thing of a warlike spirit, and refer to the annal s of the country for proof its former heroism, parti cularly to the siege of Copenhagen by CHARLES the Xllth.' An article from Basle states, that the Ex- King of Sweden .is there, and has published a noti fication, that as a subject of Denmark he shall hereafter adopt the name of Gottorf, He is leading, tt seem's, a very private and simple life ; and, it is added, that be is going to bg married. *The statement made by the CHANCELLOR of the ExCH•EQUER last night in the House of Commons completely falsifies the gloomy prophecies and re futes all the confident assertions of the Opposition Croakers. It appears by his statement, that much as we have reason to regret the distresses of our Manufaaurers in several parts of the Empire, there Las been a considerable increase in the home con sumption of excisable articles. , The Excise had produced in the year terminating the .sth of April 1812, 17,900,0001. which exceeded that produced in the preceding year by the amount of 6010,0001: and though indeed part certainly arose from a small addithinal taxation last year, yet the Minister thought lie might confidently say, from an augmented con sumption of excisable duties, severa l hundred thou sand pounds had resulted. Though he acknowledged that the branch of Customs had materially suffered, yet he assured the House that the general . produce of the Taxes for the year terminating the sth of the present-month, was 61,333,0001. More than sixty two millions was the amount of the revenue on the sth of April 1811, according to Mr. PERCEVAL'S statement, and he deelared that the defalcation this )ear would not be more than between eight and nine hundred thousand pounds, observing, that taking into consideratiOn the falling off in the Cus toms, the finances of the country presentd such a • view as could not but afford general satisfsaion. There were other parts of the Chaircellor's speech re specting, the difference between the paper currency of other States and ourßink notes, the circulation of which was smaller than in April last year, the improvement the rate of exchange in favour of this country, and the fall in the price of bullion, t. bleb proved the fallacy of all the predictions of oppos,itiorr, and must be proportionally gratifying to those who wish well to the interests of the Ethpire. Ti.ough we, feel great pleasure in stating that the riotous proceedings at Manchester were - so soon sup pressed, yet our Readers will sympathize. with ui, Wii+ll they read the accounts which we insert this day, in regretting that those proceedings evidently bare a more mischievous and darker tendency than tumults tit Npt i tingliam and other places.— ScLue vile, rancorous spirits, were obviously -t work in Manchester, who - had very different ob jects in view than the relief of the Manufacturers, btit happily they sheaved theniselveS at once, and •nch mea,ures, we have no doubt, will be adopted its otnpletely frustrate all,iheir evil designs and wicked machinations.

There can be little doubt, from the knowlgdge•that the writer of this article has of the hearts of his brother officers, that this 4abscript ion will become universal throughout the navy ,but as the unhappy sufferers in question are more pressed lot iMmecliate than permanent relief, every naval of ficer is once more earnestly solicited -Co accelerate, as much as possible, the bringing this subscription to a Conclusion. In a word, let all Captains, whose ships' companies mean 'to subscribe to this excel lent charity, and have not -yet dune so—let alkhose lose not- another moment in doing this, as, until a large proportion of the fleet shall have anthosif , ed the Navy Board to pay their subscriptions, it will not be in the power of the Committee . at Lloyd's to commence their payments. Plot AD li?fikCZiESTEfl. O'n the t sth ult. a Requisition, signed by 154 in habitants of Manchester and Salford, - and the vicini ty, was presented to the Boroughrceve, and Con - - stables, to the following purport : We whose names are hereunto subQcribed, re quest you will convene a public meeting of the town of Manchester, Salford, and the neighbourhood, to prepare a dutiful Address to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, expressive of the strongest assur ances of our attachment to his Royal Person, and of our ardent zeal for the support of his Government." A meeting was in consequence appointed for Wednesday, the Bth inst. in the dining-romp, at the Eichange-buildings, Manchester, at eleven o'clock. In the mean while innumerable hand-bills, some of them of an inflammato , y kind, were placarded in different parts of the town and the neighbour hood. One of these contained a copy of the Ad dress of the Common Hall, in London ; anwher was as follows := TO. THE INHABITANTS OF MANCHESTER AND SA L FORD. FELLOW TOW NSMEN,—A . Public Meeting is convened for the purpose of expressing the,svongest assurances of attachment to l►is Royal Highness ►he Prince Regent, and the mo,t ardent zeal in support; of his Goverumnt. " This is a measure of panty, and introduced at a time when you are suffering under distress and wretchednesS unexampled in its extent apd pressure, and Anticipating its incalculable increase; when every rank of society,- from the highest:order in the state to the meanest of the IThouring poor, is view ing with agony the impending and complicated dan, gets which threaten our very existence. as ;AU inde pendent nation. Of the moiives 'of those with whom the meeting origmated, it is unnecessary to speak; but I address you from the so'.erno con vielion, that by the success of the contemplated measure, not only your worldly interests, but your moral and lnyellealual charaaer would be laid pros trates--would be delivered, bound for sacrifice, into the hands of the Minister, and be immolated by him at the foot of • the Throne—that the smoke of the offering lc ;girt thicken the vapours of delusion, which, fatally for you, already surround it. This, however, will not be, I have no such melancholy anticipation. I look forward to the defeat et the attempt with confidence. My hopes in this are strong, for the object of them is good. , You feel the dishonour prepared for you, and you will im pressively coridernn the sophistry and cant with which_ it may be recommended. Fellow Townsmen !—With a national charac ter of wisdom and magnanimity—with a form of Government calculated for comfort, proteaion, and happinesswith numbers of public men of un doubted talents and virtue—and with many and great resources, you behold your country sunk its reputation, degraded in rank, and pursuing those measures which will inevitably terminate in irreme diable destruction and misery. Th e p u blic m i n d i s no longer ignorant of the cause. The canker-worm of State, in piercing /our feelings with agony, has at once roused ns from a general and unaccountable indifference, and fortunately too, opened a passage for the light. Darkness is now removed from the, face of the deep. The rays which Shot through the perforations of corruption have dissipated the clouds tetat obscured it. We now discern the dan gers that surround us, and the misconclud that has produced them. We feel the necessity of co:ictn trating- our energies, to repel the one, and protest against the other. The love an.] reverence 'we bear our country and its laws, dttnand; on this occa sion, a display of that unconnnerable perseverance which an exalted sense of duty inspires and ani mates. My Fellow Townsmen, if you are sensible of this duty.; you will attend the Meeting on the Bth of April, and convert the Resolutions that will be submitted to you into a constitutional call upon the Government to concede to , the general wish and interests of the conetry, by tenouncing those fatal principles that have been so pregnant with calamity. " 1 have confidence in your wisdom, honour, and firmness, and trust that your (otutufi, calmly co operating with the it-generating - sense and spirit of the people,:will restore this afflieted nation to j s na tural soundness and vigour. —" A" WARNING VOICE."

At, length; it is stated, some of the mob broke open the door of the Exchange dining room. They then proceeded to break the windows, the whole of which, toge ther with the chairs, tables, chandeliers, maps, and a valuable portrait of Colonel Stanley, were quick. ly demolished. The furniture was thrown into the' sheet. lo the news 11.0 m they tore the maps, broke the tables, chairs, and windows, -and made more desperate atitempts by placing various articles of furniture near the tire. The damage is said to be considerab'e. In the neighbourhood of the New-cross, Oidham•streel, they broke some win dows. They „met no resistance till about 200 of the Scots Greys, and a large detachment of the Cum berland militia, were called in, and the Riot Ad was read, when tire Mob was soon di , :perset 'Some of the most a6tire of the rioters were taken into custody.

The popiilace appeared perfectly satisfied with the assurances of the Magistrates, who are said to' have promised to - use every exertion to prevent forestalling. All terminated quietly'at San field, except that some of the Magistrates and Offi cers were assailed in the sirs urbs on their returo, by women and boys with a few, .stones. The soldiers were marched up to the matlet 7 place, and followed by an immense concourse of people, many, no doubt, attracted, by curiosity. Some of the OtfiCets were hissed and hooted at on their retiring, when they suddenly wheeled, d re w their swords, and ran to their men, who were still under arms, and ordered theist to clear away the populace, by,whicb many were, wounded. The mob, as it momentarily appalled, did not fartLl incommode them, and the-Odictra went to mess, lea% log the soldiers under arms. After the lapse of a few minutes, the populace assem bled in great numbers before the mess-room, broke the windows, and threatened vengeance to the Of ficers. On this the Riot A 8 was read.
