VILL3I (2i; s DICERE FAI,sIT3I AUDI:AT LONDO.I, SITURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1816. We have the Park Papers of the 23d,.the chief point alluded to in which is the important Con, tessipos made bytilioNtEft, which have caused his execution to be delayed• at the very moment that the fatal cart was. waiting to convey him to the scaffold. There is something very' mysterious in . this; and from the confident hopes of pardon en tertained by the Prisoner to the last moment to which hope could he entertained, it must' be irna giuett that he relied on tome powerful interest to save him. The Neapolitans crow a Tittle over Arr. PINK WET, whose pretensions they Say were quite ri iicnlt)tl . There is nothing else Very interesting in these Journals, nor in those of the 22d, which arrived last night. The Funds are rather lower. We have liarnhurgle and Bremen Papers to the tOth October, and German and other Journals of recent dates, from all of which we have made Extracts either under the usual titles ,or among our miscellaneous paragraphs. As we no longer look for important communications by every Mail, it is enough to say of these that they contain a good deal that is curious and entertaining. Accatmts from St. Peter,burgh say, that the Eiwer.Roit is expected back ill that city oil the Walt of October (this tiny). LORD Wirrrwonm. The accounts received last night front Dublin Castle, we regret to say, are not cAlculated to re tonve the public , anxiety respecting the Lord Lieu. tenant. His danger was still thought to be great, alrl►ough perhaps not immintot. I\'othing can be more gratifying to esery body who regards the public welfare, than the latest accounts from the Disturbed Counties. All was peace, good order, and, apparently, contrition, on the part of those whose proceedings bad been of so menacing and alarming a nature. The Ma gistrates cat Gramorganshire, emulating those of Monmouthshire, had been equally prompt, reso4 llac, and energetic. Indeed, there never has been an instance on record of the conduct of the Magistracy in any place, or On any occasion, in *HA more zeal, intrepid spirit, and, at the Sante time, good temper and conciliating moderation, bad been -strewn than on the recent Disturbances which at arm period bore so threatening an aspect. Sir HENRY PROTHERO9 ought parti. 'Wady to be noticed, as shewing active, spirited, snd yet forbearing spirit, during these unhappy ,lissersi ions ; and as a proof we need but refer t c o the Address which he issued on the occasion, and Which has been fully prodoctiVe' of the &Aved effect in convincing the misguided men of the 4auger and guilt of their late proceedings ADDRESS OF THE HIGH SHERIFF TO THE MEN .EMPLOYED IN TUB CoLLIERIES AND IRON WORKS IN THE COUNTY OP MONMOUTH. Wei:acmes—l thus publicly address you---not less far tha •.eke of Yourselves and Families, than for the peace - of this County, which it is equally my duty and determivation to pre serve. Riotous meetings haVe taken place,anJ outrages been corn•. suitted disgraceful to the character of Englishmen;. if igno rant of the consequences of such prorxedings—listen in time' to the friendly voice that would guard you againstthem.- What excuse can You have fur sucl► conduct? What motive for Looking that which is already bad, u►uch %versa ? You cum of distress, and that your wages are too law—lour ilis ess is to he inticd ; in common with all classes of the commu nity yon feel the pressure of the times, but look to the situa tion of your employers—is not half a loaf better than no bread, and is it nut wiser to work at. reduced wages, than to deprive yourselves 4:together of employment ? Besioes---tme moment's reflection must sheer, that the steps many 9f you have taken to remedy the evils of which you com plain, can only serve to increase them, and to in\•olvc your selves in gjlt, misery, and ruin. Let nee thcrefure invite you, and intreat you t for the sake of yourselves, jour vives, and children, to return instantly and peaceably to your several employments. The present clouds, it is to ne hoped, will be soda followed by sunshine, and bet ter times may soon relieve the distress you now suffer. But I feel it, right seriously and most solemnly to caution you against the repetition of any riotous proceeding whatever. As the Keeper of the King's peace in this Camay, I must and will do my duty, and it circumstances render it necessary, I shall immediately direct, in person such a civil and military force as will ensure tranquillity, whilst the most prompt rind decisive punishment is Stile to overtake the guilty. I•IENRY PROTIJEROE, Sheriff. Lantarnarn AlThey, Oct. 9.0, its la. Tl►e friends of the biennial LORD MAYOR dines together yesterday -in round numbers, his Roya Highness of Sussax in the Ctrair. One woul► be at a loss to know , ►shat business Si n i of the KING, Rad a Brother of the RaGENT, could have at a place where the King was forgotten by all, and the Mince WAS hissed by some of the well-bred Gentlernen present,wlio thought this a compliment to their President ; but probably the solution is to be found in the Address of Ilamki to Polonws, and we might say it was not the. Duke of Sussex, a Prince, and a Peer, but " I know you very well—You're a riahmonger;" for so did his Highness in courting low popu larity, among tho,e who love not .his Hone, describe himself. This herug a FishmorNer, is, it seems, a very grand recommendation, for it was also the chief argunsen: used to induce the Com pany to toast the Princess CHARLOTTE, Hint lwr Husband was a Fishmonget ! Till now we lite rally did not know that it wns a Iv!rir better than being a Fellmonger. But' we see our mistake, and shall immediately get' enrolled in the Wor shipful Corporation, and sit, hail fellow well met, with Fishmonger Princes, and Fishmon ger Mayors, and all tire Liberty and .Etivality Fishmongers who may meet at City Dinners and enlighten the. World, shining like Fish in decay through phosphoric or inward light, with their politics, their opinions, their stale notions, their erudition, and their beauty laughs at the jolly idea of Parliament coming to an untimely end ! " Fah!"

It is exactly thetamein Political History, as we tee by tl►e string of imita tions of the Meeting, toconsider the public disttess, which are taking place. A trick has been resorted to, in order to procure a meeting of this sort at Manchester, and another at Boston: As these as semblages do not consider of alleviating the tlisress their orators so pathetically describe, they might, in so far as the good of the Country is concerned, just as welt stay at home, every man minding his o►vn work instead of tl►e work of the Constitu tional Authorities. At a perir,►i wilen a seasonable day is worn► as much at least to the Empire as a Reform Meeting, we are happy to •notice that the pre sent is one of the finest days which we have ex perienced since the heginninc of October, though the weather generally during► the month has been prnvidenrially most favourable to husbandry and the harvest..

TILE TURATRE. Co"Rwr-GAttbetsr..--Should it be true that Mr. KtiMBLE is now piing through his range of Cha racters for the last time, then . did wester-even present its Willi a performative in his Coto, the like of which we shall never look upon again.. Were it not the higher honour of this eminently gifted individual to be born it Briton, we wont(' say that he looks as if his native place was ancient 4orne, and his spirit and genius coeval with the illustrious men whose heroic deeds have floated down the stream of ages, brightening in splendour .and towering in magnitude us they passed along. Cato is, we think, a 'lull acting play ; very deficient in dramatic interest fiery beautiful as a Poem, where regularity may please, hot too much ieithin roles either to rouse the passions or excite the feelings which lie dormant in the human breasts on visiting a Theatre, and which wait for the strokes of art" to kindle and hurry them into all the energy of mental conflict.. Yet, as a moving picture, there was in the drama of last night, and, above all, in the performance of Mr. KEMBLE, SOMething so grand and , dig nified ;so remote front every-day life, and so like • what the imagination has conceived of classic times and godlike heroes, that it was impossible not , to be carried away by the delusive effect, and deeply gratified by the scent. We cannot ventmse to particularize the excellence of Mr. KamuLa's acting. lie was train first. to last the lofty Roman and the philo si.ip-lier of ancient history; but Iris dialogue with Decius, his reproof . of Juba, his exquisite expres siou of conflicting emotion on being told of the death of his son, as well as his demeanour while his corpse is before his eyes, were so arlinirahle, so superior to irritation, that they fix, themselves lastio , Ay on the memory ; and should we ever see another Pcrformer assume tire part of Coto, if we most say he play's it well, we will have to add, " but in Kp.staLs we saw Cato hinhelf ."

That well-known character John Heigh, the common executioner of 'Edinburgh, dica in that city on th e 2l st i nstant. He had been in office rfu upwards o f 36 years, having been appointed itt May, 1780, aNDUCTiON OF THE COMMISSARIAT. • One of the ninny and important reductions of the Weir Establishments, whirl) isre vroceeding muter the, directioli of the Lords of the Tteuury, took place ye§te,rday, .by the trausfer`of the office and functions of the Commissary in Chief to the Treasury, whereby a considerable dimin..tion of the Establishment for the management of that Dc. part ment at borne and abroad will be elected, , The nature of this change, and the principle upon which it proceeds, are explained in :he following stibetattce Of the Treasury Minute on the subject : " My Lord:: have given the Most careful consideration to the existing system of the Commissariat, both with respect to the due execution of the sere ices to be performed by it, rind to the checks upon the conduct of the persons c:ouposing it, and ,they arc strongly imp essed with the advantages which have resulted to the public service for some years past, from the mode in which the - supplies have been furnished, end a system of the account of the expenditure has been establish ed, under the authority and euntroul exercised by the Com , missary in Chief over that Department. " My Lords are likewisesensibleof the improvements which have been introduced iuto the management of this branch of the public expenditure, by the several regulations which have been successively adopted to correct and prevent abuses, and by the general tendency of these regulations to es. tublish a vigilant superintendence over the expenditure in its progress; and they therefore consider it as of the greatest importance to the public interests, that these regulations, and the whole of the System for the government of the Com missariat abroad to which they relate, should be maintained and continue to he enforced in the strictest manner. ..... . "Their Lordships arc at the came time no less strongly im pressed with the importance of carrying the reduction of the establishments, created or augmented during the war, t o th e greatest practicable extent ; an d they are of opinion that un der the present circumstances of the return of Peace, these desirable übjects may bath be attained, and that the preser vation of, all the beneficial efiects of the existing system for the government of the Commissw hat abroad, may be made, consistent with a material reduction in the establishment of the office of the Commissariat at home. " By taking the conduct of the services now under the ma- nagement of the Commissary in Chief, under the immediate direction of this Board, the apjwitittnent of a Connnigsary in Chief may be dispensed with, and the number of Clerks employed under him cousiderably reduced; the fat mer by the transfer of his functions to the Secretaries and Assistant Se cretary of tliis Board, acting under its direction and autho rity; and the latter, by the cessation of the constant daily correspondence which now necessarily takes place‘betweett the Treasury and the Commissary in Chief,, , and of the labour of preps' in; roluMinous copies and reports fur this Board, which 'now . occnpies a considerable titimber of persons in his office, whose services may of course be dispensed with. " To effect these purposes, toy Lords are of opinion that it will be proper to Constitute a distinct and separate De partment, under . the in►uiediate direction of this Board, b u t wholly independent of the ordinary business of the Treasttty, to be denuminiced The Cenimitrariat Department, and to ha placed under the superintendence of a person, to he called the Ps incipal Clerk of the Commissariat Department." The Minute then prescribes in detail the exec► cut ion of this alteration, anti then proceeds " Iu making these arrangements, by which the fitting services of John Charles Herries, PAK/. will no longer be rem quisite in the situation of Commissary in Chief, the arduous duties of which he has discharged in a manner not only reflect- lug the greatest credit upon himself, but productive of the most essential benefits to the public service, their Lordships feel that they should not discharge an important and gratifying part of their public duties, the acknowledgment of meritorious ter• vice, if they omitted to accompany their minute with the express stun of the high sense which they entertain of the ►ervices which Mr. Herries has rendered to the Public; and with every testimonial of his able, zealous, and meritorious con,. duct at the head of the Commissariat, during a period, and under ci►cuiustances, which Maus occasioned a pressure of business to an unprecedented 'extent -in that departmet3t, both at home and abroad."
