Vii. q''ll - 2, Di 5117.7:-03ANCEFf. ffeledd Mortirtg Pape/1.:4 , 0 1 ( The 'rain con'finued t rail durrtig Jthe whole Qf yesterday, and, except at Mr. itoisSoN'S, in :91d Burlington-strcet, there was very little crowd in the streets. Abo"t ten o'clock '-'at night, how ever, OK; work of devaStation began again. A =mall party of the iMpnlace Made a slight attack npnn Lord CAs'fLEttEAGH's house, in St. James's- F.eotare., but they had only broken a few win f'?lis,s when the cavalry arrived, and they dis pelled. They next proceeded to Mr. Poxsoftl i3r's house, in Curzon-street, Mayfair, with their numbers increasing on their way.—On their arrival at Mr. PoNsosives, they presented a very forMidahie force. - They instantly com rmoced a furious attack upon the - house, demo lished the - WindmVs, and broke the iron palisade in front.' touring this, some firing took place, but we ba - ve not heard that any person was hurt, In a few minutes the cavalry made their appearance, MI the populace, according to their usual cus tom, intinediately. dispersed in various directions. They had with them a sort of horn, which wa s or- - - cash:italic blown, and makes a dismal Sound. It eras supposed to be for the purpose of malice's wring their force. In the act of dispetsion they fre quently shouted the word " The extent of the mischief done last night from the various directions in which' the rioters moved, cannot yet be accurately collected. They mere not so numerous about the House of Commons as on the preceding nights, but the Crowd which had collected about Palace-yard was occasionally-very noisy, and apparently in clined to aggression. .A fellow, lifted, on the shoulders of others, harangued the mob, awl urged them to proce \ ed with their attacks." He was soon seized by sonic constables, who carried hint to a room adjmNing the House OCCOmmons, where an examination took place before three ?...loOstrates. The only - apology h . e had to oiler was intoxication, but as he lad been urging- the mob to arts of violence the Magistrates com mitted butt.; . , " At an early period of the night a large party of the mob proceeded to Grosvenor-srptak;e,,,and pull ed down most of the railings. " detachment of the rioters broke the win dows of the Morning Herald Office, proceeded u!ong the Strand and through Boswell-court into Lincoln's-inn-lit:1(15. lii pas,ing up Serle-street, they broke the windows in most of the houses, and most wantonly threw stones down the areas into the kitchens in which the servants.w , :re sit ting ; Ina the great object of attack which the mob seemed to have in view was the house of Mr. Serjeant BEST, all the windows in which tbey broke, and pulled down the railings. A musket was fired front an upper window, soon after which the rioters dispersed; They had not been long gone when a troop of horse arrived, and paraded the Fields. " We are sorry to hear that smne lives were lost last night. Whether they were of the num her of the misguided wen who compose the mob, or, which would be. more to he regretted, inno cent. persons. accidentally pa sing at the time the rioter:: were engaged in their wicked attacks on dwelling-houses of individuals, we have not yet learned. " Lord DARNLEY, notwithstanding the attack on his house, Inis declined to employ any military force in its protection. When his Lordship re turned home on Tuesday evening from the. House of Veers, he found a corporal and a party of the g lards in his house.. He de s ired{ them to go away, bit the corporal stated, that having received or &Ts to repair there, and repel any attack of the mob, he must remain until he received further orders. His Lordship then wtote to Lord Stn. motirg. stating, as we understand,. bj.s'obJections to the employment of a military force, and 'his wish to entrust himself and his familY2tO the pro- 'teeth:it of the civil power. The soldiers were then withdrawn. _ _ " The mob, co Tuesday night, after visiting Old Burlington-street, proceeded across Caven d'sh-square to Harley-street, and made a furious attack on the mansion occupied by Lord Mu 1.- GRAVE. On their return, they visited the Right llon. John SULLIVAN'S iu a similar manner—that is; by destroying the ‘'. , ,udows. Tithing Wig more-street by a circuitous route, they.then went 'to Lord FlinEwoon's, in Hanover-square, where they broke the windows in Hanover-square : they also broke about a dozen panes of glass in Lord LascELLEs's house, on the opposite side of the street. 44 Lord KING'S house, 19, Wimpole-street, was now talked of publicly, as the next object of the snob. A Gentleman went to •the house, and warned the persons in it ; hut he had scarcely done so, when the mob arrived, attached Lord house furiously, tore up the iron railings, and with them broke in the street doors, demo lished,the windows and shutters The house had been, newly painted and ornamented. '' From Lord KING'S, they went to Earl BA THURST'S in Mansfield-street, the.back of Harley street, which they treated quite as badly as Lord :KING'S. Here they tore .up the iron railings, broke all the windows, demolished doors, shut ters, &c. and broke. several windows of the house next door. "'From Earl BATHURST.'S they. returned to Wim poh:-street, and att..-teked the house (No. 34), of Sir WM. RowLEY, Merribzr for Suffolk. Here they ;!so tore up the iron railS in fro::t of the area, broke At the windows, demolished doors and shutters :nul . did notch mischief. " In the City :Os& there was some appearance of a. disposition - to riot. After (lark, a mob col lected suddenly in the vicinity at Finsbury-square, whence they proceeded down Chiswell-st%et to Mr. WHITBREAD'S brewhouse, where they de stroyed the wiodows with a shower of stones, and instantly dispersed, having heard that some military were at The Loßri MAYOR has given orders to the City Narshals to he in readiness with all their officers, LONDON, THURS n_i Y, Mint: II 9, 1815. A portion of oUr page is again stained with the Rec►►rd of Popular Commotions, but We re joice to observe that there is an evident decrease in the force of the lawless multitude, as well as in the extent of the mischief they are enabled to per petrate. The Excesses of last night were neither so numerous nor so alarming as those of the two nights preceding. II) the House of Commons, the Report on the Corn Bill was, after a long discussion, received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third' time to morrow (Friday), by a majority of 174 ; the numbers being—Ayes 220—Noes 46. • A xery interesting - conversation took place'on the • subject of the disturbances which have so dis gracefully shaken the public peace of the Me tropolis ; and Mr. flosmssort, in a manly manner, raised his voice in 'reprobation of the inflammatory language which has been but too, freely employed upon this melancholy oc casion. Being called on for an explicit state ment of what -he justly condemned as ofien sive towards the Legislature, and injurious to the general tranquility, he is reported to have uttered these words, in which we most fully ac cord withThim "I did, and do think. Sir, that any such sentiment; even from a Mmber of this House, as that there Was no fonirl dation for alarm, except what was produced by the conscious ness of having given provocation to the people,' was of. a nature whic'a it became me to animadvert tin as I. hare done. I also observed, as I think I had a right to do, thAt the line or argument pursued by some of those who opposed the mea sure, imputed to . the majority of this House motives the most mean and unworthy--4objects the most base and dishonour able.—'Hear, hear !)--4„thereb i ge, called on Gentlemen to lay aside such insinuations—to discuss the measure solely on its merits (which was always the sound parliamentary course)— and to abstain from ascribing to individuals, principles , 7hich they unequivocally disavowed ; and objects which they expli citly disclaimed."—(Hear, hear!) We are authorized to state, that Government have taken all possible measures to secure the peace of the Metropolis. The Magistrates have stations in various parts of the town, 'where there is any • danger of disturbance. Military Depots have also been appointed, at which there is an -ample supply of Infantry, Caval ry, and Artillery, in constant readiness to quell the least tendency to mischief. The Ma gistrates have a strong body of Constables in t all directions, and bold a communication with the Military Depots, which constitute so formidable a power as may bid defiance to the most numer ous and outrageous mob that can be rash enough to make any attempt at farther outrage. ' It is most absurdly attempted t 9 be insinuated, that the Llead of the Government ‘vould negative the Corn Bill by an exercise of prerogative should it reach that stage of progress in passim; towards a Law. Nothing can be inure weak and impro bable than such a supposition. We co n fe s s vve have seen with sonic regret, that this measure, so generally obnoxious to the people, has as— sumed a form which does not belong to it, that of a Min.'sterial Question. It is in no,degree connected with Party Politics, and Ministers have :!o wore business to be placed in the front of the • • bAitit.s, ar.v in•livi:inais in n Tit'efF, of tbe MinoCity nre what are Stl - pporters of the Atitnitrktration. In all Doliular c . 6mmorrani the . fuhetionnr; of the •GOvernment ttf a Cot ntty are -alkvays"among the first objects of Ilitpleasnre ; And it is a work of supererogntiOn to have added to this liability the extra odium G,f being the authors of a plan whose source and support has been from the ranks of Opposition. When Sir F. Ilninrir ,resents the I'Vestmin. ster Petition to-inortmY,‘l:l.- think it most probable that sonic public spirited Altmber will vindicate the dignity of the "louse of Commons, by calling him to account for the scandalous terms he applied to it in his harangue bn Tuesday, and if he avows them, by 'tithing for his expulsion. We have no 1 1 ,,reign arrivals to-clay. The heavy toss of Officers at New Orleans is attributed t 6 a body of 1200 Kentuclty riflemen. A Cabioet Council was held yesterday at the Foreign Office, after the receipt of the dispatches from America, which did not break up till past six' o'clock.. CioFEs and I'nlNGtissE9 did not conic to town yesterday as was expected. The Pittcy. EC; gill hold a Levee to-day at Callum-House, at t%‘“ o'clock. The Duke Of -1 1'nm: transacted military business yestrrriliy with the PRINCE. REGENT at Carlton :lodse, for 3 considerable time. We stated yesterday I.:y mistake that the Duke of . l'oett had.tindergone,an operation, whereas it should have been the Duke of SUSSEX.—Morning 11,7 t the SPEAKr.tt's_ last l'irliatrtentary Levee will be on Saturday next. WINDiOrt, 8. - ---Tuesday ev,ming at six o'clock, the Royal flute Guards, ("Marc:red here, marched tot Kensington Barracks,, to be near London. This morning at five o'clock, the stli regiment marched from the Foot Barracks for London : the rain falling verb heavily at the time, they were conveyed in eight large Ivug.gons. According to account l from the :Mediterranean, dated the 11th idt. it appears that the American privateers in that quarter had captured 12 British vessels, five of which had been carried into Tuni3, the other seven were given up.. THE EXPEDITIo'N.—AIARCH 4.—The Expee.i tion which we stated ill our last to have sailed from our harbour on Wednesday, returned on the following day, in consequence of an unfavourable change . of wind. ha 3 ()Cell since ordered Hut to proceed for the present. The troops,' how ever, arcs not to he hum,ediately disembarked, but are to remain on hoard the transports until they receive farther orders.—(Cork Advi.;rliser.) SIR FREDERICK Et)EN.—Among the number of ou - r gallant countr:men who fell in the heroic but unfoitimate attack upon New Orleans, we have to regret the loss of this spirited young Officer, who was only in the seventeenth year of his age, but ,whose talents atilt pro 11 - ked to render him a conspicuous ornament to pro feision and his country. In fart, lie might be said to inherit the abilities of his late Father, who, though his pursuits were of a different nature, was always actively employed for the service cf the country, and whose Works con tain information tinit will ever be considered to he of the most valuable description. The young Officer to whom we now pay the t,ribute of regret,_ had distinguished himself in a manner 'which could hardly be expected at his early period of ii re for he . had exerted himself with knowledge as well as zeal in the Siege Of St. Se -I).atian, the taking of Bayonne, and the . capture of Washington - , His loss will be deplored by a numerous train of friends, Whose only consolation is the pride of having known a young Man whOse short career was marked by honour, and whose char acver was adorned .by every virtue that can excite esteem and admiration. The gallant Sir Env: Ato PAKENHAM, whose fall mak es'part of the unfortunate intelligence, re ceiver! yesterday, was the brother of th e E ar l of LONGFO:ID, and first'cousin to the Duchess of WELLING - rots:. In the late campaigns in Spafin - and France he served as Quarter-Master-General to the army under the Duke of WECLINGTON; . was in all the great battles, and highly distinguished as a soldier and a !nan. He was' one of the Extra Knights of the Bath, or the full'-Order, created about A year since, a Major-General in the Army, and Colonel of the 6th Wtst India Regiment.— His life has thus fdnied in his 37th year. MAjor-General GMBS, who fell off New Or le ius, commande'd the two British Regiments, wh . ch garrisoned Stralsund, during the campaign of 1612. Returning from that service he was mare actively . employed in n o il an d. His regi m:nt was the - sDth, of Which he was third Lieu tenant-Colonel. WESTMINSTER PETITION.--Th IS Petition, co pies of which have been placed for signature in several parts of the City, had, we understand, at twelve o'clock this 'day not fewer than. 42,000 names. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.—We are assured that there is no truth in the report that this Gemle man has lowered his rents, and, indeed, as he de clared himself an advocate for the Corn Bill at the recent Meeting.; in Palace-Yard, the report is equally absurd and fallacious. We - hear that the Patriots have come to a reso lution to discharge Sir FEtANCIS from, being their head any longer. The'Public, as well as Ourselves, will he grati fied in hearing that Mr. C. ICF.mnLE is re-engaged by the Covent-Garden Managers, at an increas ing slimy, for three years. The proposed additional Tax on Newspapers would, it is wisely observed, hate been " penny iN bc, hat pototd4.oolish." iVe :are - sorry to 11t;;, that et)himm Park, the seat or Lord DARNLEY, has been burnt clowia.

The King's Mews was occupie' y the life Guards and Light Horse, on Tuesday and yes terday.. The house of Mr. MoßEit, one of the Elst India Directors, No. 21., Baker-stre•et, was at tacked last night, and almost all the dining and drawing-room windows were broken.---Mr. MOE- RtS is not in Parliament, and has taken.no part in the Corn, Bill. his family, which 'is very nume rous, was much alarmed, but none of them sus tained any personal injury. ' Sir JOSEPH BANIES' house has been destroyed by the mob. The woman, who it appears had been drawn to Burlington-street from idle curiosity, was shot through the he:uJ. She was conveyed first to the shop of Mr. Tr.BBS, in Bond-street, and from thence to St. George's Hospital. In her way thither she died. Upon examination it was as certained that her name was WATSON, and that her lodgings were in Charles -street, - Long-acre. She was the widow of a sailor, and had left her friends with a promise to return in ha!f an hour. M M S, A , •nivr.t)-1 Gnerniry and Jerse", 1 Dablin.
