We originally "announced to the Commercial World (See SUN of- Febylary 27), on the autho rity of private anti authentic letters, that a Inca, sure was before the American Congress, the oh. jeer, of• which was to lay a duty, equivalent to a prohibition, on all impOrts front the West ludieS to America, Considering thit this %%NI uld have been a very fatal blow to an important branch of our trailing and shipping interests, it affords us great satisfaction to copy the following paragraph from a letter, dated 7th February, of a w . eit.infitrtned and highly respectable house at New York, to Messrs. Psain, NICHOL, and Fon , . SYTH, of London : " We were all much alarmed by a Bill brought " before congress, which would have stopped. all " intercourse with your \Vest 'lndia Possessions ; " the opposition to it has, however, been so great, " that there is no prospect of its passing into a law. '" this Session, if it should In a future one" The same letter notices, that " Rice, flour, anti -other bread stuffs are high throughout the Iluited Stntes."

Su,musreaae, a tntAn Who looked into the pro , foundest depths of human nature as if by ititni flint, puts it into the mouth of one of his ctiu racters in Hamlet, tha► the Priner's being mad is no matter since he is going to Engiantl—r " for - there the poppie.rtre ail rts toad as lac:—" Voiant II , another Writer of prodigious acute peso, describing the arrival 'of an illustrious though fictitious Traveller on our shores, licenses' us of 'the sante malady, and, after an illustration of the faet, rather ludicrous considering the me lancholy occasion, the execution olAdnviral ItyNn, send 4 the Voyagers to the right about, afraid to enter the territory of a people so insane:— Several ancient Authors, we fear allnding to ouc IsLnul, have also lampooned a certain Country under the names' of " The Limbo of Vanity " and "'the Paradise of Fools :" &e.—bat truly under all these charges and aspersions we have borne up till now, proud of our national character, and stUrdily, prepared to contend that we were neither Idiots trot Maniacs.

We are sorry that Lord li.vrouttsT telt himself called upon to Nhetv, which did in a masterly manner, that l och calumnies mete utterly tintotinflvd. Tfiere is a degree of humiliation 'to otisworilig the fonl charges which Slanderers hr in; 'awl were, it el- ways possilde to pursue tiiat euttrse, it would lie mole dignified to leave t:►.ikiiyttity t o mot i ce d, to r(iter and tot iit Tni(lst of its otvn,yenotn, Ms. armed by its tally; and refuted by its fury. LiordiromAND is repotted to have said he has received, within the last three or, four months, various information on the subject. of 131.10NA PARTE'S ill-treatment j but. BUONAPVItTIi asserts that all his communications are intercepted.— llow then, carne they to reach his Admirer and Advocate ? Lord Ilot.t,ANo complains that the Newspapers are withheld from lIVONATAUTH. We will allow him Tna SUN gratis,. and insure its safe awl re gular transport to time Transport, his " Great Prince." Lord Hoi.t.ANDsays,, that the Corsican and his followers are not allowed wine etionglr to drink, since they have only, Ladies included, three bottles a-day—a shocking short allowance. For our parts we would remedy this grievance, as the Mal did, who had a drunken wife. She growled like litiosAFAltTn at being-restricted to a bottle or two per diem, which, however, nsed to be suffi cient to raise her spirits so high as to render ber a shame to her' husband and a curse to her ser vants. All endeavours to reconcile her 'to reit-. sonable li4ations w ere vain.:—at last the GOOD MAN accidentally left a keg of brandy unlocked np, and in a few days had to put on'mourning, disconsolate Widower We shalt not puisue this subject any further. To Lord BATH LT It STIS complete vindication of our country from the imputation of .wanton cruelty, we refer those tvho think such vindication lieCC.6• attry for our honour. To the Marquis of B 1.1 C 7 . INGIAAR'S Speech, we refer those who agree With us In opinion, that there is something very degrading to England in thus making a felonious and murderous Usurper the object of constant curiosity and soli eittle—akeeping his tummy alive in Europe, which it would bemost happy for Europe to bury in eternal oblivion---fanning as it were the iying hopes of his Jacobin _Partizans, and slie‘%ing the spark of revolution yet inflamed amid the extinct embers of that contl;gration which consumed its strength. The,Noble Marquis's sentiments per fccily accord with those which we expressed on laying MONTIIOLON'S infamqus production before our , Headers. Lord TIDELAND was, we believe, left alone when the Ayes were culled for, and thus by a curious pun the only Peer of Parliament discon• 'tinted ‘lit.) the treutment of BuoIs'APARTE,. cried— `" Content 1.1,' A go - od'tical Crt sentimem. amd last night in the Ilmise of Cortnnops 0n41 . * Stih. jeet of, I,otteries. This folly was a' little inure innocent than that in the Upper Honse. We are not :pleased that a" Gentleman of Mr. LOCK ti.xwei education, rank, an& character, should have bolstered up the Batley Pamphleteer, by admitting him to the equality, of,a challenge. But we decide upon no man's feelings ;, and these fore we will not insist that Mr. LocititAwr was wrong in giving COBOEVri a credit by the colli sion, which even the fellow's, cowardice cannot altOgether cancel. Discretion is the better part (If valour :---;und HUNT himself could not Mire displayed the white feather more valorously than did the-Register bully. Flogging his servant boy was pleasanter than being himself ehastized byia Gentleman so he shalled abunt, mind bounced, and huffeil, and l o ok e d big, and looked small, and cried craven, upon the strength of three most exquisite reasons, ,--c6nsisteney, monthly, and piudefrice—embrocing very comprehensively the time past, the time pre. sent, and the 'time future, `: Pray heat' theta fellow who laughs at con sistency, declares himself authorized to s hy a sh6t, beeKuse he bad formerly written against Duel ling :----because, if Mr. LOCICRAIIT, shOuld better aim Crotdd h 4 found :—and became' he was already bound over to the peace, tvlsich , bond he very scurrilously insists Mr, LOCKHAtIT ‘votiltl hisvc pr . ociireq to he forfeited.r Upon his two last reasons we shall net stop to observe, that Troth--even if either—couldn ot he %veil founded t--i-but, since CoEUETT thinks his former arguments against duelling are to give hint a carte blanche of impudence, let his flew regrd for eobsiNteney desert the Retorrnets, beCall4C had framerly written Agaitist them. lie most not sec k refuge in consistency upon one point, while abit.ring , It upon another. lie . roust either re nounce his confederates, or make atonement to Me. -LormiinT. study the care of pet song, safety must have been strong—very strong. , •-witiolt could urge any creature be‘riag the, extet nal of man to shifts and escapes so miserable. But Mr. COBItEtT Was mailethin the most impenetrable of panoplies—in the resolution--for which few men are resolred.enough---to offer any insult, and to. shrink from every atonement.

We no longer Wonder that the twopenny bul lyism which evaporatei, in speeches and pamph lets led poor Cashman to the gallows, and left hint there. ,Mr. COBBETT will answer, perhaps, that Conscience would not let him violate the Law. — No, to he sure.---when the.consequences, whether of rope or bullet, come too near one's self. Let tts . hope that Mr. LOCKHART has now un derstood the degradation of such an Antagonist. This highly-respectable Gentleman should recol lect, that he himself is only a Maker of the Law ibis petty Demagogue should be left to the Law's Finisher. IFSURRECTION AT MANCIIESTEIt. Upon this subject we copy the following further and interesting particulars from an excellent . pro vincial Journal—the Leeds I ntelligencer " There can be little doubt 'that this rising_at Manchester had been concerted between the Leaders of Revolution there, and in London.— Birmingham was in the line of their march, where they could have procured immense quantities of arms ! The mind recoils front the contemplation' of the horrors which might have marked their fur ther progress through the country, if the infatnat ell multitude had reached that town, and fornikhed themselves with a supply of weapons for them selves, and for, the numberless persons who ‘votthl have swelled their body, as it strode, upon devas-' tationand rapine, towards the metropolis !" After describing the Meeting and the capture of the Orators, the Intelligemtr says—" Many of the body prepared to march had, however, been ,regularly filing off in military order, for a consi derable time. , The next important object was, to check, them in their course. A detachment of the Dragoons, accompanied by a Magistrate, and one of our Constables, the Rev. C, W. Rthelston and Mr.,:f, S. \Vithington, proceeded towards 'Stockport on, this duty. They arrested seve ral stragglers on the, road, anti put, them, into the custody Of . Constables previously stationed at proper intervals: The main body bad ar rived at Stockport bridge, but were well met by a .! troop of the Macelesfield sanadron of the Tr ace gent's yeotnaniy, and by the police of the former town. A scene of great confusion now took place. Many of the petitioners Plunged into the river, and crossed it, where it could he forded, throw ing away their knapsacks and.blankets, to escape detection. Nearly: three hundred: of them were soon secured,. the ..chief part of whom were marched hack to this town under escort, A brick was" thrOwn which, made ,an indention into the behnet of one of the Guards, but the trooper was not hurt. No accident happened to any one. Af ter all, about five hundred of title original body got as far as Macclesfield, but a troop of the yeomanry civic 1 .,,,0,nr were ready ter receive them. The Magistrates here'hehaved to them with com passion, and allowed them to takelodgings for the night. Somelew passed into the adjoining county, Staffordshire. The whole line of road to the me tropolis had been apprised by official letters of the possible approach of these men, and the local au thorities were on the alert.. We understand seine of them reached Ashburniand that troops are gone .to escort them on their retreat ; bait on ‘Vednesday in the afternoon none of the reformers had arrived at. Derby, . where precautionary measures were taken in due time to receive.them."' i'orther on we have . theic important facts coal. monicatcd " It is a circtimstance not altogether con jectural,: that at given points on theirapprotich to the capital, arms and nnitnunition were expected to be prepared for them.—The facility too with Which fontribut ions have been levied and obtained for these unworthy purposes is truly astonishing, if the nature of the times, anikery of Misery which has been uttered, be taken into consideration. It is affirmed that the journeymen Spinners have ad vanced considerable BMus furl " reforming" ob jeers. • It is a well-known fact that Evening Meetings have been held, for a long time past, a least twice a week, to which persons haVe been admitted indiscri minately, in a karge old pinning Factory, at New Islington, Ancoats. A room in it clipatite of hold ing thousands. of persons, with i'otruns in th e centre, has been Iretplently filled. Dining the last vverk, these assembliei have been held every night to engage the tiela'ildzi in this wild but dangerous en terprise of marching,toLontionlWitb petitions, and to collect contributions tor the purpose. Leaders of tens, fifties, &e. were appointed, anit every tenth man was to ha the hearer „of a petition .—Elijah who was apprehended on Wednesday tie.'n night , is a spinner, who wtts earning handsome wages. In addition to the fourteen persons whom we have already, stated to hove been arrested at Glas gow upon charges of a treasonable . nature, we have to announce that eight more (all Weavers and Chtton Spinners) were on Saturday last com mitted, accused of a treasonable plot, or con spiracy existing in and round Glasgow ;, of hav ing attended secret meetings sworn into said con spiracy, and of having taken or administe l red se cret oaths in violation of 52 Geo. 111. cap. 104." CORN•EXCHANGE, MAncn I9.—We had a few flesh Arrivals this morning with Wheat from Sotloll►', fine Samples of which sold at Monday's. prices, but there was but little demand for ordi nary : Fine Barley, supports its price ; Fine Oats being in demand sold readily at our last quota tions ; Pease and Beans are very chill : in other kinds of grain there is no alteration.
