different class of conjurors formed a little terrestrial occupa tion.. You are aware that for the purpose of giving em ployment to a very angry class of workmen of this metro polis, the Government lately marked lines of fortifications around Paris, and in following up their purpose set to Work upward of 12,000 people. It happens here as in other countries, that the moment the cry of distress is met 1 1 the application of prompt labour, there are angry sPirits . who diffuse discontent, and reject the means of subsistence which have been supplied to them. It was found dif f icult to get these workmen to keep regular hours, to bring their tools with them, to be content with the stipulated payment of ls. or is. sd. a day,—in fact, they Melt have a " turn out." The National Guard of St. Denis and th e ne i g hb our i ng v ill ages were ca ll e d out, b ut the workmen, nothing daunted, threatened to throw them into the canal, and expresses were sent to Paris to see What course ought to be taken with these malefactors.— The remedy, however, was to strengthen the guard at the barriers, to discharge a few of the turbulent, and stop a Portion of the works.

Had it arrived earlier, we would cheerfully have inserted it. _ ce 4 l "-. re.Ai • (1. q b g —r LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1631. We expressed yesterday, and we repeat to-day, our hope that Government will extend its mercy to the six wretched convicts now left for execu tion at Winchester. If ever a case excited the sympathy of the public--a sympathy which is rapidly extending itself throughout the king dom—this is that one. Every reader in the slightest degree conversant with the trials, sees at once that the poor men are fa different from those criminals who are usually left to undergo the last penalties of the law. They evinced no cold-blooded premeditated depravity—no reckless thirst for vengeance, no deliberate wish to stir up disaffection ; they acted chiefly under the influence of delusion— they felt—could they do otherwise ?—the bitter ness of their distress, and in a phreuzied mo ment, resolved to take the law into their own hands and see themselves righted. We defend not such conduct, far from it ; we hold it i►i utter abhorrence, and would visit it with instant punishment ; still we would apportion that pu nishment to the character of the crime, and draw a broad line of distinction between those who wantonly and deliberately transgress the law, and those who do so under the twofold influence of distress and desperation. Should the Win chester convicts suffer death, it will be wholly in opposition to the wish of the country. By the lower orders they will be looked on in some degree as martyrs ; and will fur nish the more influential classes with striking proofs of the injudicious severity of our Criminal Code. In the present critical state of the country, every thing that may tend to promote dissatisfaction should be care fully avoided, and as much as possible be done by Government, when it can do so con sistently with justice and reason, to conciliate public opinion. The Church, the Law —even the Legislature itself, is not so secure, as to be able to make head against the stream. It may direct the course, but it cannot stop the progress of the channel. Again, therefore we repeat our most earnest wish and confident expectation that Government will see the pro priety of yielding to the public desire, by saving the lives of the unfortunate Hants rioters. Justice and public opinion should always go hand in hand together. The Poles are indefatigable in their prepara tions for war, and confident of success in the ap. proaching contest with Russia. They seem to be perfectly aware of the danger of their situa tion, and resolved to brave the worst—if any thing can be worse than the intolerable thraldom to which they were subjected by the caprice of that bully and coward the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE. With all our heart and soul we wish that they may cut the invaders to pieces, and are confident that there is not a respectable man in the three kingdoms who does not wish the same. Were the Poles however defeated, it would not surprise us were France to interpose in their behalf, if not by arms, at least by what in the present state of Europe is nearly equivalent to it, a prompt and powerful remonstrance. It is im possible that the French Government can be influenced by the slightest feelings of courtesy or forbearance towards the Russian EMPEROR, seeing that he delayed his recognition of her citizen Monarch to the last moment, and there by sufficiently proved that his acknowledgemen was the result, not of conviction, but of appre hension. St. Pi 'etersburgh and Dutch Papers have been received. The former state that the cholera morbus was abating in Moscow, and the latter that the King of HOLLAND was daily expecting to be able to make an interesting communication to the States General :.•-•-• BREDA, JAN. 6 . —Since the return of Generel Van Geen there have been various movements among the troops composing the army in the field.

It being generally expected that Carlile would have been brought up this morning to receive judgment, the Court was much crowded at an early hour. Up to the time of our Paper going to press he had not, however, entered the Court. We understand that it is his intention to move for an arrest of judgment on several grounds. Solomon Davis and William Simmons were indicted for breaking and entering the Jews Synagogue, in Duke's place, and stealing therefroM four silver bells and several other valuable articles, the property of Moses Aaron. There were other counts in the indictment describing the articles as the property of other individuals. [This trial was going forward when we went to press.] NEW COURT. Win.

" Maratimo, Nine o'clock, Wednesday Even ing, January sth, 1831. " GENTLEMEN,--I sorrow I was from home when you called this morning. I should have been happy to state at length, and at leisure, my reasons for not presiding at the proposed meeting. That I should refuse compliance with a desire of 10,000 of my respected fellow citizens is so unlike me, that it would at least require some further explanation than this hurried answer to your note : suf fice it, however, at present to say, that I do not think I should act fairly by my Sovereign, his Ministers, and above all by my country, if I did not adhere to my determination already expressed, of hearing patiently and respectfully the intentions of Government towards this country, and their proposed plans for our relief in this their first Parliament, before doing any thing to a dd to t h e great embarrassment and difficulty of their situation—an embarrassment not of their own crea tion, but brought on by others to whom they have hitherto been in uniform opposition. This opinion has been confirmed by communication with the excellent, steady, well-informed, thinking p a t r i o t s , w i t h w h om I have been so long in the hab i t o f act i ng an d con suiting, and by a desire neither to be deceived, nor be inconsistent or unreasonable. If we be deceived, the crime and the punishment will be with the deceiver —if we be unreasonable, we do positive and instant in jury to our country—the very summer which is before us threatens scarcity andsuffixing, whi c h can only be averted or mitigated by the wise, anxi ous , Immune, iind un an i mous exertion of all good men, aided by t h e G overnment, and unimpeded( Gentlemen, E) angry debate or o ff ens i ve personality. with respect and affection, , 4 Your obliged humble servant, " CLONGURRY. and Hull." " To Messrs. Browne, Reynolds, RIOTS OF 1766, PUT DOWN WITH VERY LITTLE SACRIFICE OF HUMAN LIFE. The Times of this day contains a long extract from the Annual Register, showing that the - Riots of 1766, and 1767, arising from the high prices of provisions, were subdued without extensive judicial extermination of the offenders; the extract terminates as follows : „ DECEMBER. —Special commissions were opened this week in the counties of Norfolk, Berks, Gloucester, Wilts, &c., for the trial of the rioters. ,eight were capitally His convicted at N orw i c h , n i ne at an d four at Salisbury Xi PERSONS." _ .......„..... pulled dow n , h ouses burnt, farmers rubbed, The d is t u rbances at th a t ti me were of a most serious nature—mills and some jives lost in skirmishes—as will be seen by re ference to the paper in the Annual Register, but these disturbances were quelled by moderate punishments. Among the places enumerated where the !jots occurred, are the following :—Bath, Berwick-on-Tweed, Malmes- Tetbury, Br a dl e y, L e i cester, L echlade, rxe P t t()u er, ' Stroud, Newbu r y, R e d rut h , S t.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sig,—The Press of London has almost unanimously, and w ith great ability, advocated a commutation of the punish ment of the six rioters ordered for execution on Saturday next. I am one of many thousands who (though we heard through the Papers of petitions in behalf of these men ) were not informed at what places these petitions might be met with. If the parties who so laudably got them up had sent word to the Papers where these documents lay for signature, I am convinced there is scarcely an Editor in the metropolis who would not have rejoiced to give pro minence (out of motives of humanity alone) to the infor mation. Anxi ous as I have been to sign, and willing as I have also been to walk—aye—ten miles so to do, if it were necessary, I did not know until this morning —and then by mere c hance —where to gratify my so earnest desire. In pas , ing along High-street, Islington, I was attracted by a crowd, both in and outside of an extensive china-ware house (nearly opposite Rhodes's Farm), where I had at last the satisfaction of recording my vote for mercy to the convicts abo ve -mentioned. Hoping, if you have not room for my lett, r, you will at least announce the above, and any other station you may be acquainted with, to which the enllghtvned and humane may flock without a mo ment's delay, for the purpose already explained, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THE SHADE OF EDMUND BURKE.

Two of these men have been respited. The Special Commission for the trial of the rioters, in the county of Bucks, was opened at Aylesbury this day. Soon after twelve several of the Magistrates and a nume rous retinue assembled in the town, and attended the Sheriff to meet the Judges, and escort them to the county.. hall. The Duke of Buckingham and the Marquis of Cbandos were in an open carriage. After opening the Commission the Judges proceeded in state to the parish church, where an excellent sermon was preached by the Sheriff's Chaplain. Immediately after Divine Service, the Judges entered the Hall, and Mr. Justice Palm delivered an eloquent and elaborate charge to the Grand Jury, and then adjourned the Court till to morrow. There was a very numerous attendance of Magistrate: of the county, amongst whom were, the Lord Lieutenant the Marquis of Chandos, Lord Nugent, Sir Thomas Aubrey, Bart., T. D. King, Esq., Sir G. Nugent Verney Sir F. Fremantle, Messrs. Drake, Landes, and Duncombe the Hon. R. Smith, &c. The Assizes are likely . to last th e w h o l e week. The town is quite full ; every bed is engaged. The yeomanry are quartered in all the villages round Aylesbury, but everything is perfectly quiet. Whereas, by an Act passed in the tenth year of his late Majesty's reign, entitled, " An Act for the Suppression of Dangerous Associations or Assemblies in Ireland," a power is vested in the Lord Lieutenant, or other Chief Governor or Governors of Ireland, by his or their Proclamation or Order, to prohibit or suppress any Association or Assembly, or Meeting of Persons in Ireland, which be or they shall deem to be dangerous to the public peace or safety, or in consistent with the due administration of the law, or any adjourned, renewed, or otherwise continued Meeting of the same, or of any part thereof, under any name, pretext, or device whatsoever : COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of CUMBERLAND partook of the diversion ul shouting yesterday, in Windsor-park. • A meeting of the Lords of his Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council was held yesterday morning at the Council ! office. It was attended by the Master of the Rolls, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, &c. Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE, Mr. PEMBERTON, and Mr. BURGE, were heard by their Lordships on an appeal from Jamaica, " Pennant v. Simpson." The Master of the !lolls gave judgment in this case. A second appeal from Jamaica, " Dixon v. Simpson," was not argued by Coon• sel : the points at issue being identical with those of the former case, a decision the same as in the first appeal was given. The Lord Mayor, Lord HILL, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had interviews with Earl GREY yesterday, at the Treasury. The Swedish Minister transacted business yesterday with Viscount PALTrIERSTON, at the Foreign-office. The Neapolitan Minister arrived in town yesterday, from Brighton. BRIGHTON, JAN. 10.

His Royal Highness PrinceL;O;otn has arrived on a visit to their MAJESTIES, and will prolong his visit beyond his original intention. Mrs. FITZHERBERT, Colonel and Mrs. DAUER DAW, sow, Captain, Mrs., and Miss SEY3IOUIL, Sir WILLIAM and Lady HOUSTON, had the honour of dining yesterday with their MAJESTIES.

Colwick and Bras ie Fer are at close quarters for the first place —l4 to 1 are the odds against each, and no easy matter to say which has the call—it seems not unlikely that Colwick will even. tually get the better of the Irish nag. Lord Jersey's two were backed, but did not spring. The Varennes colt was in favour -25 to 1 was taken freely, and at the close nothing above 22 to 1 could be obtained. Hannus, Caleb, Rattler, and Bohemian, stick at the old odds, with little appearance of either getting up or going back.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sta,—A considerable expectation was entertained by many that the example of the Dowager Duchess of New castle would have been followed. I must oonfess I was not so sanguine ; and the fact iy that net another resignation his been notified to the Treasury. The Pelhanis show that some of the ancient blood still remains ; hopes may, therefore, be entertained that the rising race may again he distinguished as was the past; bat a general degeneracy of the breed has been exhibited by the body of the aristo cracy; they prove quite dunghill, pecking greedily at the corn, as if it were their rightful food, and as if there were no careful housewife to scare them from the plunder. If I cannot congratulate the public that the noble pau pert' have been awakened to a sense of shame, and by a voluntary resignation abandoned that plunder of the public money which an honest body of representatives would take from them, and which probably may not even be re voted by the present House of Commons, badly consti tuted as it is, yet I am well pleased to inform you, and through you the country, that a sense of propriety, or fear of exposure, has led a certain lady to restore to the Crown that property which had been most shamefully alastraeted from it. The jewels of the Crown are the property of the people. They are a part and parcel of the splendour of the Throne, and cannot be alienated from it. They have been furnished at the expellee of the people,—the means of the purchase having arisen from their industry. The King has not the right to dispose of them to any one. The most valuable pearls belonging to the Crown were found absent. It was well known that the person of a late fa vourite had been bedecked with them, and it was natu rally supposed that they were yet in her possession. An intimation was made to that quarter that as present could have been made of them ; that they were the property of time Crown, and, as such, sacied. These beautiful pearls, to the value of 40,060/., were sent back, and are now where they ought to be, in the possession of her 'Majesty. Their retention was excused by the asattrauea they had been received as a Royal present, With them was also sent back a precious jewel, which had ornamented the lamented Princess Charlotte, the daughter of George IV, As this had become the property of the late King in his life, and, therefore, he having the legal right; of the dis posal of it, it has, we understand, ben magnificently re stored to the favourite, with tl.e message that his Majesty could not think of interfering with any gifts made by hi s Royal Brother, over which he had full power. The public have been amused with a caricature of a certain and sudden packing up at Windsor instanter on the Royal demise. There has evidently been cause for that carica ture; but the matter should not be left only to the onnish ment of such ridicule, it requires a more severe visitation The returned jewel, which was the a;ofortunate Princess Charlotte's, had often been seen on the person of the rapa cious lady. \Vhat shad be raid of the father who could so bestow What had been the ornament of his only child ? What can be said of the King who could so far forget his own dignity as a Monarch, as 3 man, as a parent? But what can be said of the delicacy of the lady who accepted it, and displayed it in the presence of her husband, bar children, her growisig-up daughters? What coal he said of the husband who permitted, who sanctiaaed such con duct ? What can be said of the eons, of the sons-in-law, who witnessed and tolerated it? and yet they are all Nobles ! Blush, nobility !blush Nobility! The Icily cannot boast of gentle blood, and seems to have partaken of her father's narrow spirit, which, tagethea with his per severing industry, raised his family to affluence. There should be an inquiry made as to the will of the late Kin g • it is due to the Public—it is due to his present Majrsty. RADICAL. The Treasurership of the Ordnance is, we believe, fill e d up.

REGENCY OF TERCEIRA. THE POST OFFICE. (From the Times.) The new arrangement at the Post-office, for the de livery of foreign letters by the men employed in the two penny-post, was productive to-day of very great inconve nience to merchants, whom w e never remember more ve hement in their complaints on any '-mailer occasion. Though the French letters were announced as ready for delivery at two o'clock, they did not, in many instances, even in the heart of the city, reaeh their destinati,tn till half-past three. It was usual for the foreign postmen who had no other duty *o attend to than the foreign let ters, to accomplish the whole in a quarter or at most in half an hour. Such delay is often the cause of most set ions injury. The presentation of a bill fur acceptance, or an order for the insurance of a ship, with other business of the like kind, are often nutters of extreme urgency, in which the delay of a day may be fatal. No insurances are effected at Lloyd's after four o'clock, and the post of the next morning may bring intelligenc e of the loss of the vessel to be insured. Some alteration in this arrangement is vety loudly called for by the merchants, who are dis posed to condemn it more, by the belief that it is the result of a moat ill-judged economy- in this important branch of the public service. (From the Morning Herald.) Our attention has been milled to a new arrangement in the Foreign Department of the PoOedfice, and the great inconvenience which it occasions mercantile men. The arrangement alluded to is ePt' of the economical schemes of the late Administration a scheme, by which, fcr the sake of saving three or four hundred pounds a-year of the pub lic money, a number of poor men are thrown out of em ployment, and the public theiinselvee subjected to at iu convenience. We som e ti me ago stated that the deliverers of foreign letters were about to be discharged, and that there was henceforward to he but our delivery.. —th ee is, that the English and foreign letters were to he delivered at one and the same time. As, however, it :requently happens that the foreign enai"e do not at rive till lone after the Engliah ones, we fores'iw that the Incrchants would ne cessarily be kept out of their lette:s t great length of time, it being intended on such ecettsions, to send then: through the Two -penny Post. A circumstance of the kind here alluded to occurred to-day. The Hamburg mail WAR in a little after eleven this merning, but, as the letters had to go through the Twopenny Post, they wee., net delivered, even in the vicinity of the Exchange, tiil half-past three o'clock in the afternoon. When we take Mt.> coneidera tion that the saving made by this new arrangement does nut amount, a t mos t, to more than ft:Lir or fie:hundred a _ year, and when it is well known that a caving of as many thousands might have been made by a reduction is the salaries of the principal officers of the Post-cilia: without doing them any injustice, we may safely conclude that the scheme is one of those snack plat., of economy adopted for the purpose of thtowing dust into the people's eyes, regardless whether the public service suffers by it or not. I THE HEIRESS OE BRUGES.--TIIiS new his torical v a e y r s i s i c i y e n W e s a o y f s especially r ecommends itself by its torical roman ce , by th e ce l e b rate d author of " ifigh d ' high daring, of military enterprise, and perilous adventure. To the merit of thorough acquaint ance with the country described by the author (to which so great an interest at present attaches), he has selected a period of history replete with events of intense excitement. Tite story arises out of the Mate of the Low Couutries, writhing under Spanish oppression during the government of the Archduke Ataitur and his consort ISA/M1.1.A. The account of the Revolt of Brabant and Flanders. under Illavnicx of Orange--of the siege of Welsbach—and the romantic adventures of the, ehivalrons Count de 13. t s a Colonel of Walloons, are all pAverfully deli neated, and so are the two heroines of the tale whose characters are contrasted with dramatic ekill. CONVEYANCE OP BULLION.--W e stated some time since that the freight for the conveyance of bul lion by his MAJZSTY% packets was objected to by the mer chants and parties interested, and that representations hid been made to Government on the subject. The question, it appears, is again revived, and au investigation will pro hably take place into *le circumstances. While an at tempt is made to excite a prejudice against the Commauders of the packets, on account of the high rates demanded for the conveyance of bullion, it should not be forgotten that the freight is regulated by the Admiralty —that one-fourth portion goes to the Admiral—one-fourth to the chest at Greenwich Hospital..-and that the Commander of the packet has to pay the Consul's commission, boat hire, bank charges, carriage, and to make good any losses that may accrue, which reduces the amount that he receives to a sum only remunerative for the risk and charge which he incurs. —Falnimal Packet, The Goucester Sessions commenced on Wed neaday before the Duke of /3eaurore, the Marquis of Woncesren, Earl BATIILIRST, Lord E. SOIIERSE.T, Lord G. SoMßasxT, Lord APSLEY, Lord SHERBORNR, Lord RenesnaLy s Hon. Mr. DurroN, Hon. Mr. TREVOR, Sir W. Sir B. W. Gutsx, Mr. CRITPS, AMP . &e. There were several me* ix gaol on charges of machine breaking, and the Court immediately proceeded with their trials. Twenty-four were first placed at the bar charged with destroying a threshing-machine, the property of Jam: HAYWARD, of Beverstone. Oa the 26th of No vember, the Fit , oners, accompanied by a large mob, went to the prosecutor a house, and demanded higher wages. They then broke his threshing-machine. The Jury found all the prisoners guilty. Six of the same prisoners were afterwards tried for destroying a threshing-machine be longing to Mr. HART, of Horsley. They were again found guilty. Twelve prisoners were then indicted for destroying a threshing-maehine belonging to the Rev. Alr. CuesswELL, of Bilbury ; s even were i n di cte d f or de stroying a threshing-machine belonging to Mr. f rr l v r o :r: c i: Saturday,. ' of Fairford ; a,rui five were tried for rioting n at were sen ,euxecner when se v e n they ley were ‘ver c a a li lle f d ou unpdfogrujiultdyg . _ tenced to fourteen years' transportation ; twenty to N em , years; one to imprisonment for three years ; two for t t i. o years; two for eighteen months; and the others to veriwia terms of imprisonment. A contract Las, we understand, just been signed in the city, for a loan to eke Regency of Terceira, under circum stances of a very peculiar nature, of which the follow ng may be taken as a tolerably correct statement :—lt will be perfectly in the recollection of these at all conversant with the financial affairs of Brazil and Portugal, that under the convention by which the separatii.n of the two countries took place in 1525, one of the stipulations was for the payment of a sum of money, amounting to about 2,000,0001. sterling, by Brazil to Portugal. 'This debt was in course of liquidation when the usurpation of Don Miguel took place, but all further remittances were then stopped. At the time when the Portuguese Regency Was first formed in this country, the members did not lose sight of the advantages to be derived from the use of this fund, and attempts were made consequently to estab'ish a just claim to it in their behalf, but without effect so long as they remained in England. The Brazilian Government, though recoguising the right of Donna Maria H. to the throne of Portugal, refused to treat with a Regency which was fixed in a foreign country, and owned no spot in the territory of Portugal. As soon, however, as the Regency had repaired to Terceira, and assumed the government in the name of the young Queen, the I point was conceded by the Brazilian Government, that a payment to the Regency of Donna Maria was. de facto, a payment to Portugal, and their atknowledg ment consequently an acquittance of the debt. It was proposed at first to place the instalments es they came due at the disposal of the Regency, but as they had many claims to meet, which made it ineligible to wait for so distant a period, the alternative wes sitTge,tefl of a loen, for the interest and redemption of which the instalments might be assigned. This was objected to I.y the Brazilian Government, which refused any direct con nection with such a transaction ; bat another proposition, that the instalments should be paid to an agent in Europe, duly authorized on the part of , the Regency to receive them, did not meet with the same objections, and in effect removed what was then the principal difficulty. It is, therefore, one of the conditions of the new lean, that the agents so appointed shall assign over to the contractors the instalments of the Brazilian debt to Portugal respectively, as they may arrive for the payment of the interest and liquidation. The total amount of the loan is about 1,200,0001. stock, at five per cent. interest. The terms are not exactly known, but as the basis was to be a certain proportion to Brazilian stock, that would fix the price at 50 or 51, in which ease it would produce for the tier vice of the Regency about 600,0001. sterling. This is the whole that can yet be collected in the city on this subject. This transaction explains the very sudden decline in Brazilian stock which took place a few days back, as it does in effect, if the above particulars are rightly stated, increase to the extent of it the dept of Brazil in this country. It is supposed that many of the holders have sold largely in the hope of making a more favourable in ♦ettment in the new stock. The price of the old stock is, however, again recovering, and the last price to-day was 521 to 53.— Times.
