It is one of the most manly, constitutional, ready Patriotic, and loyal Papers that ever issued from the Press. It corresponds entirely with that just and h iagnanimons Answer which the PRINCE RESENT, t ruly a PATRIOT PRINCE, gave to the Address from the Corporation, not the City, of London. — This DECLARATION so fully expresses our send tnents, that we should " burn day-light" in say tug at present more on the subject, except to shark the noble contrast which it presents to the Address voted by the Meeting at St'. Andrew's Hill, Norwich, on the 16th inst., when Lieut. ST. JOHN appeared to be the only impar tial man present, and who with difficulty obtained a bearing, and also to the Proceedings of the Meeting at York, of which we have given an ac toont this day. We hope that the City and County Yolkof will imitate the admirable example of Norwich and its County, and by the voice of its MAGISTRATES, itS CLERGY, its Citizens, and i t s respectable Inhabitants, come forward and disclaim the sentiments and Resolutions express ed at the latter Meeting. We earnestly hope also, that every City and Town throughout the British Empire will be equally zealous t o avow its loyalty, its justice, and its a bhorrence of those infamous wretch's who, under the pretence of a Parliamentary Reform, are li peOly arrayed in a daring attempt against our P arliament and out Throne, our Constitution in Church and State, and all the orders and autho lilies which form the Government of the Empire. The SOUTHWARK MRRTING, which took place t his day, will doubtless he marked by the same Peindication which has characterized all simi lar assemblages, considering by whom it has been convened. But due care has been taken by the Civil and Military Authorities for the pro tection of the Public Peace. A troop of Horse Guards are stationed in the neighbourhood, but Mill not be suffered to interfere except in case of the most alarming extremity. Tna TIMES...—.This Paper has had taste enough to copy the humorous Song on The White Hat, Which, appeared in The Sun of yefterday, but had not liberality and justice enough to acknowledge the source whence derived. But The Times has I °ug been known by its meanness as well as its 4 ePravity, and every thing contemptible may be txpected from it. WiTh impudence equal to its Il liberality, it observes, that " the Song deserves • wider circulation" than our Paper can give it.— To the shame of Public taste this is trne, for the circulation of The- Times is a disgrace to the age, ▪ it is not only the dullest of all the Public Jour nals, but the most despicable. We shall pro. 134 b1y give a history of that Paper from its °r ight, for which we have ample materials, il nd shall certainly not forget to illustrate the Itterits of the Log Family. It would be surprizing 11 1 any Paper but The Times, that while it is every iay abusing the present Government, the Head of the Log Family (if any thing but the shape of a ! l ead can be found among them) possesses a very lucrative appointment tinder that very Govern /Ile" ; but it would be as difficult to discover his Pretensions to it, as it would be to discover "lib, candour, and justice in The Times. 11°4 ERI SEPT. 22.—The Duke and Duehess of CLARENCE arrived last night in the Royal So le"dtgo 'Yacht from Dunkirk. Their Royal High besses landed about eight o'clock, and proceeded tl►e Cas►le. the Governor's apartments having been previously fitted up for the Illustrious Visi t°rs' The Duchess appears in bad health, and is a dvised to make use of sea-bathing, for which Purpos e no place in the kingdom surpasses the toast of Dover. All is now tranquil in Glasgow and Paisley; ))11, it has not been deemed proper to relax any of the precautionary measures formerly adopted for the preservation of the Public Peace. It is said that there is a probability of some of the insti taints of the late outrages being discovered.— tEdinburgh Courant.) 1) Late l ast night a Deputation of Kentish Free -41413 came expr ess to town, and waited upon r. n tiNT, to tequest him to consent to have his 11 the am e put in nomination to r e p resent t h a t County, 4, room of the late Sir EDWARD KNATCD. b1 -ILL, , ' , iI, '.

THE Piti&cV, itt,Gtsr,; PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 20.-- ,, Our hopes are revived in the prospect of a visit from the PIUNCE REGENT. The agitated state of the country, with the ad vancement of the season, had created an appre hension that we should be deprived of this ho nour till next summer. It is stared now, how ever, that his Royal Highness may be expected here daily. In confirmation of such a tumour, the Spartan was suddenly ordered out of the Sound this morning, for the purpose of proceeding round to I'ortsmonth, HS a part of the escort. As the wind is easterly, she may take, perhaps, three or four days to beat tip to Spithead. Should it con tinue in the same quarter, the Prince Regent will run down the Channel right before it, and per form the passage in about 20 hours. His Royal Highness is looked for with confidence towards the end of the present week. Great preparations are making at the Dock-yard for his reception, and this loyal town is anxious to have an oppor tunity of displaying its attachment for the Heir Apparent to the British Throne, by a manifesta tion of those sentiments and feelings which, in better times, were the true characteristics of Eng lishmen.—On Saturday last the Officers of the Garrison acted a Play at the Public Theatre, The pieces got up on this occasion were The Rivals, wits► !lambastes Furioso. The house was crowded with persons of fashion, and the performances went off with great eclat. The receipts amounted to 1401., which are to be appropriated to charita ble purposes. A repetition of these amusements is spoken of, for the benefit of the Lying-in Hospital. The conflux of company that will pro• hably flock to the neighbourhood, to witness and welcome the arrival of the Prince Regent, will aid materially such an object of humanity. While the Military, in some of our Districts, are called on to discharge the most painful of all duties, it is thus that the brave Defenders of our Country and our Constitution are endeavouring to lessen the misery iu others, by their efforts to succour the unemployed and distressed. SHIP NEWS. FALMOUTH, SEPT 20.—Arrived the Neptune, HUNTER, from Gibraltar for London ; she fell in with, off the Lizard, the slop► True Briton, Lawrs, from Milford for Prnzance, blown out of Mount's Bay, on the 16th in a very leaky state, and in about half an hour after taking out the crew the sloop sunk.

DEAL, SEPT. 22.—Arrived the Royal Sovereign Yacht, from Dunkirk, last from Dover Roads. Sailed ills Majesty's ships Liffey and Hind, for Leith, with troops. KILLIN, SEPT, 16.—This day his Royal High ness Prince LcoPoLD and suite arrived in Lord Breadalbane's barge from Taymouth Castle, ac companied by Lord'and Lady Breadalbane, the Earl of Lauderdale, Lord Glenorchy, and a nt memos party of Ladies and Gentlemen. His Royal Highness partook of a cold collation at Achmore Cottage, and proceeded on his way to Callander at two o'clock p. m.—(Edinburgh Cots• rant, Sept: 20 MEETING OF THE RADICALS.--A Meeting of Dr. Wut sou , Thistle wood, Preston, and the Coun cil of Five Hundred, took place on Tuesday night, in a large room in Fleet -street, for the two fold purpose or censuring the Orator, and " rais ing the wind" to pay the expence of his triumphal entry on Monday week. The Doctor expatiated on the Orator's ingratitude, and read several do cuments to prove his apostacy ; hut could not ob tain t h e m a jority to agree with hillt in cen suring so great a man ; nor was he able to ob tain what was still more important to him self and his friends—the means of appeasing the clamorous calls of the stable-keeper• who furnished the six bays that had the honour of drawing the Orator to the Crown and Anchor.— A letter was sent from the Council to the Orator on ►he subject of the dispute between him and the Doctor, but he refused to open it, and returned it with disdain ! Burtenshaw, Stubbs, Swan, Swindles, and Rich ards, the persons who were upon the hustings at the Reform Meeting held at Macclesfield a few weeks ago, have been arrested, and not being able to procure bail, each in 1001. for himself, and two sureties in 501. each, to appear at the ensuing Sessions at Knutsford, are committed to the coun ty jail .---.(Manchester Paper.) TIIEA'rItES, COYEtre GAttDEN.—Last night The Maid of the Mill was again represented at this Theatte, before a very numerous audience, and the whole arrange ment of the characters was co well sustained as to excite great applause. Miss 'fnee is rapidly increasing in public favonr, the due reward of her merit. The part of Patty could not be better stipported in acting . , as well as musical excellence The !farce was Husbands and Wives, a very II • morons Piece, which atfortled ample scope for the dry rusticity of EMERY, and the ever-springing vivacity of JONES. CSI ENGLISH OPERA tiousE.—Mr. DAvt9, Who lately appeared as Carlos, in The Duenna, was announced for the part ,of Illncheath last night at this Theatre ; but Other from diffidence or indis position, he thought proper to decline it, and it was performed by Mr. PEARMAN.—A Morning Paper, unluckily depending on the play-bills of the day, instead of persoual observation, has stated that Mr. DAVIS actually performed the part, and has matte rather an unfavour able report of his musical powers. This is a mistake, with a laudable view of giving a mis cellaneous air to a public print, which has often been committed; but we ‘ advise theatrical Re porters, when they thus rashly venture, always to take the favourable side, and then the error will be excused on the score of good nature. The Critic has justly taken for granted the admirable Lucy of Miss KELLY, though at the expence of all her predecessors in the part, but it is to be re gretted that be did not also exercise his good-na tured speculation, as he might with justice have done, on the interst:ng acting and musical excel lence of Miss CAREW, in Polly. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. S/R-I have observed by the Advertisement this (>,y, that Mr. KRAN'S name is inserted among the list of the Performers engaged for the ensuing season at Drury-lane Theatre, I beg leave to state, through the medium of your Paper, that Mr. KEAN goes to America as soon as he has completed his present engagements i❑ Scotland, and that he has directed this announce ment to be made by me, as his Solicitor, that he may prevent any disappointment to a Public, for whose munificent patronage he ever will be most grateful. I have the honour to remain, Temple, your obedient Servant, Sept. 2,2, 1819. E. FL PLUMPTRE. KRAN, after all, goes to America upon mere Speculation. All Mr. ELLISTON'S eXerriOllS to induce him to perform at Drury-Lane until the expiration of his articles, have proved in vain. From his name being among those of the per formers who are "at present under engagement to the Theatre," it is probable that if the arti cles be not duly complied with, the penalty will be enforced.—(Morning Paper.) OLD BAILEY. Yesterday John Dalton, aged 2G, was put to the bar pn an indictment charging him with burglariously breaking and entering the house of George Beaton, and stealing a watch, 651. in money, and other articles. The prisoner called no witnesses to his character, but solemnly declared his inno cence, Guilty—Death: Joseph Emmanuel, a genteelly dressed lad, was put to the bar on an indictment charging him with feloniously assault ing and taking'from the person of Thoinas Laurins watch and other articles, .at West End Fair, on the 26th of July last. The circumstances of this case were similar to those already detailed. The prisoner proved an ulilii, and was ac quitted. Henry Hancock, aged 17, was charged with a similar offence on the same day.—Not Guilty. Wm. Lowndes was indicted for stealing a watch and two wilting-desks, the property of John Jones and Walter Bevan. The prisoner had formerly lived with Mr. Jones, and had been discharged through drunkenness. When apprehended, the prisoner attempted to cut his throat, which he very nearly effected. Tne facts were fully proved against him, and the Jury found hint—Guilty—Death. The beautiful seat and lands of T. HARRIS, Esq. at Belmont, near Uxbridge, which were some time ago put up for sale, and purchased in, at nine thousand five hundred guineas, have lately bee►► divi►led into lots by that Gentleman, and disposed of for a considerably larger sum. Government having accepted the offer of an Armed Association to be raised in Knutsford and its neighbourhood, a Meeting was held in the Court-room there, on Saturday last', for the pur pose of raking the names of persons wishing to e►irol.themselves, at which time about 130 persons came forward, and numbers have since daily added themselves to the list. Thus a truly patriotic ex ample is set by that loyal town.—(Macclesfield Courier.) This morning early, a dreadful fire broke out at a Ship-chandlers, Millbank-street, Westmin ster; which, after consuming the premises, com municated to . a lime-barge, which was also entirely consumed, DARING AND INHUMAN KORBRRY.—Friday, about nine o'clock in the evening, Edward Banis ter, a labouring man,. was stopped between the three and tout mile stone at Shepherd's Bush, on the road to 'Uxbridge, and afterwards stabbed with a knife in several places, and thrown into a ditch in a field by the road side, by two men, one a tall pale-faced man dressed in a dark short smock frock, and the other a stout man with large dark whiskers, dressed in a dark-coloured coat, who robbed him of a 51. bank of England note, a 2/. Oxford bank note, a 11. bank of Eng land note, and 12s. in silver, in a canvas bag, and two bundles containing sundry articles of wearing apparel. CORONERS INQUEST.—Yesterday morning an Inquisition was taken before It. dune, Esq. on view of the body of Captain John Verity, a pri soner in custody of the Marshol, who died sud denly. It appeared in evidence that the deceased had been latterly subject to a remarkable defi ciency in breathing, accompanied with loss of senses, and that he was attacked in that way on Monday morning early, and 'notwithstanding medical advice, he shortly afterwards died. The deceased had been constantly in the habit of tak ing laudanum, and the doctor was decidedly of opinion it hastened his death. Verdict—' , Died in consequence of having taken too great a (pan- tity of laudanum." . IEBTING AT YORae A Requisition breii presented to t 1 Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR of YeO k. signed by• above 460 inhabitants of that town :mil nc gh bour:,ood, desiring hint to tall a l'ohl:t Meeting, to take into consideration the late tr, fortunate Events at Manchester, his Lordship appointed his day (Monday)- for that put pose; and tree:ed a Hustings. in the Guildhall, in order to accoMmo, date the different Gentlemen who were liltr ly to attend as Orators on the occasion. About ten in the morning, 4,000 or 5,000 reo ,, ple paraded the streets of the ci.y, with hann:Js a:id music, and in what is called at Manchesiec martial array, for they marched in a regular pro , - cession of 6 abreast. A mad preceded them - with 'et large black board on a pole, on each side of which was inscribed, in white letters, " Order," whilst the whole of it was deco rated with black crape. Tue band cat music came next, making a horrible discord ref unmusical sounds ; atter which was borne a very large eag, inscribed " Nlagua Chart a," " Trial by Jury," " Bill of Rights," and " Liberty of the Press ;" !hen a yellow flag, with the inscriOon " To t..e imtnorial memory of the Reformers killed at Man chester on the 16th of August." The union flag succeeded, inscribed '' England, Scoiland, Ire land," similar to that exhibited by the Orator at Smithfield. The whole were decorated with em blems of mourning. In Coney street, the band played " The Dead March in Saul," during which the great concourse of people took their hats off their ,heads, and by remaining uncovered gave to the spectacle a very solemn and imposing ap pearance. • _ _ _ About half-past 11 o'clock, the Committee, ac companied by the Hon. L. nuncios, Bryaa Cooke, Esq., S. W. Nicoll, Esq., and several other Gentlemen, proceeded from Etridge's-hotel to the Mansion-house. Ou arriving there they were loudly greeted by the populace. Precisely at twelve o'clock the Right Hon. the Lotto MAyon opened the business by stating, that in consequence of having received a Requisi tion most numerously signed, he had convened the present Meeting, and requested the Town Clerk (R. Townend, Esq ) to read the Requisi. Lion. This was accordingly done ; atter which the Lord Mayor said, that from the confidence which he had that they would all concur in main ((titling good order, and would conduct themselves with the utmost propriety, he had not placed a single constable in attendance, nor sworn in an additional special constable. He had always seen the greatest order prevalent in the city, and until he saw something otherwise, nothing of that sort should ever be done. Having thus briefly opened the Meeting, he intimated to it the necessity of appointing a Chairman. An universal cry of " The Lord Mayor to the Chair" immediately pervaded the whole of t . .e Hall, and his Lordship took the Chair, amid the enthusiastic greetings of the assembled multitude. He observed, that at so numerous a meeting as that which he saw before hint there might be different opinions on the subject, he therefore hoped that they would give every Gentleman who wished to address them an attentive bearing, and that they would confine themselves to the subject of the Requisi tion. S. W. Nteot.t., Esq. (one of the Counsel to the City of York, and also Recorder of Doncaster) then rose.—He said, that in bringing forward the Resolutions of that day, it was not his inten tion to address them as friends of Parliamentary Reform, or as its enemies, but as Englishmen, who possessed a free Constitution, and who were entitled to the benefit of the laws, made equally for the benefit , of all. In reprobating the breach made on those laws, and that constitution by the late transactions at Manchester, all parties must join, since it was only by their conjunction that redress could be obtained. He trusted, there fore, that they would, through the proceedings of the day, carefully avoid whatever might be ground of division either there or elsewhere. The Meeting at which they were then assembled, it was not unlikely, might serve as an example to numerous others in the county ; but it could only do so by avoiding subjects of offence, and by strictly confining itself to that point in which all of them could coincide. The Resolutions which he intended to offer to their notice were grounded on a few facts and principles which appeared to him to be incontrovertible. The first was, that it was the constitutional right of he people ofEngland publicly to discuss State grievances; and thereon to address, petition, or remonstrate, as they might deem expe• Thiswas not the right of the high and opulent alone ; it was the right of all it was the right not of 70 or 700 only, but of 70,000 or of any numbers, who conceived themselves aggrieved it was a right not to he exercised as suited the mere pleasure of Ministers, or Magistrates, or Mi litary ; (if it were so, they might assemble indeed to cuugratulate or approve, but never could as semble- to petition or remonstrate); but it was a tight to be exercised at the pleasure of the people themselves, unconfined and unrestrained, so long as disorder or, excess was not committed by [ltem. In the next place, be held that the Meeting of the 16th of August was in strict pur suance of the above right—it was for a lawful purpose. This was clear from the nature of the notice. The people assembled peaceably, and no thing tending to disorder bad occurred, or was 'likely. to have occurred, when the violent irruption of the Volunteer Cavalry took place. Much had been said, and pretences had been held out of arms and military array. What was this military array ? The people walked in ranks, as is usual on almost every occasion of solemnity. Freemasons' walked in ranks; . Friendly Societies walked in ranks ; the Corporation of their City walked in ranks. Was there any thing alarming or destructive of the peace in such processions ? No ; it was simply. fur the sake of more solemn effect. The story of arms ,was equally absurd e the people came from the country, and, like °tint' countrymen, carried each his stick. That t h ey were not armed, even to the point of self-defence, was quite clear. Had they been armed, dreadful i n d ee d mi g ht [ s ave been the result, and not hun dreds but 'thousands must have felt the miseries of that day. He also observed, that the circum stances attending the meeting precluded every surmise of intended tumult, or probable disura:
