AT a GENERAL MEETING of the COM :WI—MI of the LOYAL and INDEVINDENT Li V ERY of LONDON, held this 13thcky of April, 1812, at the London Tavern, Alderman OfißisrOPFlgß SMITH, in the Chair, Resolved Unanimously, That. the following Address be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent To his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT. M iy it plea:.e your "oval Highness, We, his Majesty's dutif , :land loyal subje ds, the under. Signed Liveryinen of the City of London, beg leave to ap. proaeh your Royal Fl:glint.ss with the strongest assurances of attachment to your Person, art of our resolution to sup. post y Jur (_;overtuncot with zeal, constancy, and firmness. wi li i e we sympa:ilize most deeply with your Royal High ness or, the lamented indispos.tion of our venerable and be loved Sovereign, we eagerly seize this opportunity to convey to )nor Royal Highness the ardent fzelings of gratitude ex • cited in our breasts by the numerous blessings which we have el - Toyed, during the long and gloriouS reign of your Royal Father ; and more especially by the unequivocal so repcateily under circumstances of peculi•t 1- ty, of his sacred :cord for those fututainental pri s of tie Constitution which seated your Illustrious Family on the Thrihe of these Realms. Most ciirdially do we congratulate your Royal Highness pn the brilliant success which hes distinguished his Majes t)‘s arms, during the short period ofthu Regency, in differ. (iturters ot the globe, by sea and land; success not less t,tAiticial in its immediate effeets than in its remote conse quences, since it affords a strong ground of hope, that by a cootil , tied display ot the same consummate skill and bravery on pert of ...his Majesty's officers and men, and of the s .inc wisdom and vigour in the Councils of your Royal High a2A.:, you' will be enabled ultimately to bring the arduous ccruet in which we ate engaged to an honourable ter mination. At, the same time, we reflex with pride on the measures pursued by your Royal Highness, fur the support of the na. f(mal charatler, by the preserVation of the national , faith with his Majesty's Allies; - for the determination to per. severe_in that glorious stuiT,le for independence on the Pen. insula, which is the common cause or all who enjoy and ap. pit ciate the blessings of national freedom; —for the anxiety manifested by your Royal Highness, to support the corn. wercia I credit of the uution, and to promote the general wet fart and haaniess Of the country ; and•while we deeply la_ went the pressure of the times, caused by difficulties in trade an.l manutadures, arising the nature of the present contest, and partly ,front the dearness. of corn; we cannot but express . our ,indignation at the attempts which have been made to indispose lie people against the overnment, for events which C so evidently been beyond their cuntroul. rem our experience of past we are led to congratulate the country on the existence of a well -grounded hope, that the Civil and Religious 'Liberties of the Nation, as finally settled, and firmly established at the ineinurible era of the t , , , ,,11:ti0n, and the Protestant ascendancy, to which, under Providence, we are indebted for the inestimable blessings we Ire pet tamed to enjoy, wil r be maintained inviolate.

A vessel arrived yesterday at Plymouth with the ntelligence, which was immediately transmitted by elegraph ; but in consequence of the fog yesterday evening, the Message was stopped .at one of the telegraph stations called Cabbage-hill, from whence was transmitted by post to the Admiralty, where was received this morning. The official dis- patches Will probably be in town in the course of his day. Although., from what we have seen of the prin.;" ciples by which the American Government is in fluenced, 'we have no right to expel any thing like impartiality towards the Belligerents, yet we cannot but think, that when the late declaration of the French Government, declaring that the Berlin and Milan Decrees are still in full force, shall reach Ame ri'2a, the Government of that country will be, in a manner, forced to . discontinue its hostile proceedings against Great Britain, and to put the Belligerents upon an equal footing. Much pains have been taken in this country s to confound an d p erp l ex our present dispute with America, though, in fact, it is most simple and intelligible. France published cer tain Decrees, 'the objea of which was to prevent Great Britain from having any commercial inter- t course with the Continent, and to place the British Isles in a state of blockade. Great Britain, in con sequence of these Decrees, • issued her Orders in Council prohibiting all trade with France except through the medium of Great Britain. Ametica complained bath of the French Decrees, and British Orders in Cou9cil as a violation orneutral riihts and adopted Soffit strong itteattites against ttudi Belligerents. She however dedared l that if either of them rescinded their obnokious Decreed or Orders, she would Immediately resume a friendly intercourse with that State, and keep her ports shut against the other. In this state of things, BUONAPARTIt, in 1810, declared, that from the Ist of November of that year, hit Decrees, as far as they concerned America, should be rescinded. The American Government eagerly caught at rhat declaration, and demanded that our Orders in Coun cil should be repealed. The British Government replied, that the Berlin and Milan Decrees were not rescinded either in form or in substance; and upon that point we have been in dispute with America till the present time. BUONAPARTE bad now, however, settled the dispute, by declaring that the Berlin and Milan Decrees are in full force. This distin& avowal of the fad, together with the declaration issued by the British Government, declat ing its will ingness to repeal the Orders in Council when France rescinds her Decrees, will, WA trust, bring our discussions with America to an amicable termination, It is hardly necessary to state, that the declara tion of the Govern.; ent had no conneEtion wltliever with the flag of truce which has arrived from -France, Accounts have been recei%cd in town of further instances of outrage having been committed irrJuc }-alts Of the country ; but we have strong reason to believe that they are, in most cases, very much exaggerated. The reports of riots having taken place in Birrninglynn are not true. We re ceived this morning the following Letter from that town, from a Gentleman of great reSpeBability, and upon whose accuracy we place the - highest conn det.ce •• Birmingham, Wednesday, April 23. " I have the pleasure to inform jcut that we are all quiet here, though attempts have been made by so►ne insidious scoundrels, by dis►ributing MSS. -'of a seditious tendency, in order to make a disturbance; vet the good sense of the people and the thivity of our Magistrates, VILLERS, HICKS, HAMPER, &c, have finally overcome all their attempts." In some places the M - igistrates have published hand-bills (and we wish the practice was adopted whenever any disposition to riot appears), 'ap prizing the deluded people, that if they de stroy the house or the property of any per son, they do not injure him, but the inhabi tants of the Hundred in which he lives, some of whom may be their friends. This information may also be useful in - inducing the inhabitants of the Hundred to be vigilant in repressing any disposi tion to riot, when they know that they must pay for any danlage_that tray be carnmitteli. Aire stop the Press to state, that we have just heard that a duel has taken picc.! this morn ing between' two Noble Lords, (one of them not a Member of the House of Peers); in which the latter was severely wounded.—The duel arose in consegoence of something which passed in the D.:- bate of Tuesday. Yesterday. soon after two o'clock, his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT held a Levee at Carrion House. A troop of the 2d Life Guards marched into Pall Mall about one o'iock, and a de tachment 'of the ist.Guards, into the Court-yard, with colones flying,, and the bei,tl in their state uni forms. Their Royal Highnesses the -Dukes of KENT, 'CAMBRIDGE, and GLOUCESTER, arrived early ; the former was'accompanied by the Dukes Of CLARENCE and BRUNSWICK. There were present, the. Lord Chancellor, the President of the Board of Trade, the First Lotd of the Admiralty, the First Lard of the Trea sury and Chancellor, of the Exchever, tie Mas ter General of the Ordnance, the Secretaries of State fur the Home and War Departement, the Pre sident of the Board of Controul, the Lord Steward of the Household, the Chancellor of the Duchy o f Cornwall, the Bishop of Exeter, the Neapolitan, Si cilan and Turkish Embassadors ; the Lord Mayor, Recorder, and Remembrancer of London, with the Sheriff's ; and the Dukes of Portland and Montrose. After the Levee, the PRINCE gave audiences to the Earl of LIVERPOOL.; 'had Mr. Sheriff BIRCH and the,City Re.metnbrancer ; when his Royal Highness was pleased to appoint next Tuesday, at' Three o'clock, to receive the City Address. The PRINCE REGENT will hold a Levee next Tuesday, at two o'clock. The QUERN and PRINCESSES are expeaed in town this day. Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT dined with the Duke of CUMBERLAND, to - meet the other Dire.... tOrs, previous to their going to the Ancient Concert. Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with the Earl of HARBOWEY. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND, as Director of the Aocient Concert, list night gave a grand dinner, at his apartments in St. James's Palace, to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CLARENCii and CAMBRIDGE ; the Archbithop of -YORK, Each DARNLEY FOBTESCUE, &E. NORTHUMBERLAND ELecTtoti.---Monday se'n night being the day appointed for the eleetion of a Representative to serve of Parliament for the county &Northumberland, in the room of Baron PritcY, (called to the House of Lords) a numerous assem blage of - Gentlemen and Freeho!ders took place at Alnwick, when R. BALts, Esq. High Sheriff, came forward, and biquired whether the Freeholders had any Gentleman to propose to fill ti.e honourable situaiion ? CIJARLES WM. BIGGtt, Esq. iintnediitely DOliinaied.

L7IP MAL P ARL WIENP HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 224 There being a call of the House preparatory to the discussion of the Catholic Question this day, nothing was done till after six o'clock. Sir J. NEWPORT presented a Petition from the Merchants and Traders of the Chamber of Com merce at Waterford, against the East India Mono poly. Mr. BROUGHAM thought, before the, renewal of the East India Charter was decided. upon, it would be proper to consider how the sixty or seventy mil lions of subjects in our East Indian possessions would be affected:by the measure. On this subject he thought it would be very desirable to have the opinion of Lord Wellesley. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER had no objection to - it►quire into the subject of which the eon. and Learned *Gentleman had spoken. The opinions of Lord Wellesley on the principal topics connected with the measure, would be before the House in various printed documents. The R;gl►t Hon. Gentleman further stated, in answer to Mr. Ponsonby, General Tarleton, and Mr. ' - lierney, that it was still his intention to bring the subjed forward in.the present 'Session. He still expected to g.2t it through the House in the course of the present Session ; but it any serious obstacles should arise, either before or atter he had proposed the Reso!ti tions he should have to move, he must certainly fell it to be is duty to st:►te'what these were to the House, and whether or not his intentions were changed. At present lie saw no reason for any such change,t hough he thought it probable he should not be able to bring the subject forward so early in the week as he hid expeCled. Sir G. HILL presented a Petition from .B,llfast, against the monopoly of the East India Cumpaoy.-- Ordered to lie on the table. Copies of the presentments of the Grand Jury of Ireland in 1811, were, on the motion of NI. Cooper, after a few words from Mr. W P. P. Sir J. Newport, Sir H. Monigomery, Mr. M. Fitz gerald, Mr. Pon,ouby, the Chancellor of the Exche quer, and other Hon. Members, referred to a select Committee. Mr SINCLAIR postponed his motion for a return of the nutnber of Electors in various Siircs, &c. to Monday. y The Report of the Parish Register Bill was brought up, and the Bill re-committed. The Report was then received, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on this day sen'rtight, and the Bill to be printed. Sir G. HILL presented a Petition from the Catho lics of Londonderry, praying relief from religious disabilities. Or dered to he on the tabl e . Sir EDWARD O'Bmati presented a similar Petition from the County of Clare.—Ordered to lie on the table.

From these we learn the following par ticulars respecting the Amethyst, lately captured by. the Southampton Btitish frigate :.-- " The crew of the Amethyst, a fr . gate belonging to CHRITOPII e, it should seem, mutinied, and seiz ing the vessel, took her into Maragcane, one of the polls in the Department of the South, in the hands of a French party, where a Frenchman took the command of her. Information having been giver! at the same time, that a sloop of war, and a brig, belonging to CH RISTOPHE, were_ also at sea, the. Amethyst was f res h manned with Frenchmen and others, and proceeded in quest of them; but instead of meeting with what they sought for, they had the luck to fall in with the Southampton, Clio. YEO A wIJo felt himself fully justified in captuiing The Amethyst was so complete a wreck after the engagement, that it was with difficulcy she could be kept ab ,ye water. Tue nearest purt was Port au- Prince, into which she was carried by the per missi9n of PETION, who afforded Cwt. YEO every accommodition. On the Bth of February she was titted'out with jury -masts, and was about to sail fot Pot t Royal, in Jamaica."
