VIE POPE'S NUNCIO.

We announced, yesterday, the wrival of the
Pope's N uncut. Tue No Popery Alarmists appear to
consider this as pregnant with danger to the Church;
and the lead:jag Ministerial Paper, with st view to
allay theif fears, assured thew yesterday, that " the
object of the Nuncio's visit is not yet known."
the following are the circumstances under which
he is coute to this country : Ilis Excellency the
Archbishop of Nisibi, the Pope's Nuncio, is nearly
related to his Royal Highness the Prince Re-
gent of Portugal. This must venerable Prelate,
upwards ul7O years of age, sailed front Lisbon in a
Portuguese ship, bound to the Azure Islands, with
the intention of proceeding, as soon as possible, to'

the Brazils; but. the VCbbVi having been mach da-
maged by heavy seas and contrary winds, his Ex-
cctlency, with other passenger*, and the owner of
the ship, thought it advisable, for the safety of thei!
lives, to return to Portugal ; fortunately, however,
the Mediator wet them at some distance from Lis-.
bon, when Captain Blarney, with every humane as-
sistance and polite attention, welcomed them on
board, and carried theta to Plymouth, where the
Mediator arrived on Wednesday last. The Porn...
guese ship was sent for La Reworgue, where she
arrived in safely. Ili. Excellency was received on
his arrival at Dock, with every mark of respect due
to his character: the Rev. l; Abbe Gilbard,
:lister of the Catholic Church ut Stonehouse, imme-
diately waited upon his Excellency, and delivered
a complimentary and elegant address, in Latin, to
bun, on his safe arrival in this country, and lug

DISTURBANCES AT lIAMBURGIL

It has been already mentioned, that an affray
took place at Hamburg!, between the populace and
Fletacti ankhery. We have reecived more minute
details than are contaii.ed in the Foreign Journals.
It was on Easter Tuesday that it happened, and it
arose from the Commandant having ordered the
gates of the town to be shot at an earlier hour
than usual, on the pretence of its hieing a holiday,
and with a view to prevent executes. Ile i:unor-
quence of this, a number of the inhabitants acre
shat out, and about woo presented themselves
before the gates, and deramokyl entrance. The
gates not being opened at their demand, from
uenw• and clamour the populace proceeded to pelt
the soldiers with atoms, and n very actions commo-
tion took place. tone of the military, quartered
in jhe town, joined the guard, and tir.ed upon the
people, seven or eight of whom were killed, and
many more wounded.
At this juncture a fire broke out in the town,
and some persons rang the alarm bell. This caused
a general confusion; the French Commandant
considered it as the prenieditated signal for a ge-
neral insurrection, and, under this impresoimi, (Os-

patched • Courier to Bernadotte for succours, ho
was at that time in Jutland. In the moinwlaile Inc
Senate assembled, and effectual means were taken
to quell the disturbance.
At this time his force in Ilamburgh and its vi-
cinity was insignificant, and could easily have been
subdued by a resolute mob. Peace being restored,
the Senate dispatched a messenger to Bernadotte,
explaining the affair. and promising to prevent, as
far as lay in their power, similar tumults. Berna-
dotte, It was supposed, had thought proper to meet
the last message with indifference: for when the
accounts came away, French troops were marching
towards Ilaniburgh from various quarters; and it

is apprehended, that this atiair will iurnish a pre-
text for new autortions._.

The day alter the disturbance, n Proclamation
was issued by the French, to prevent riots M fu-
ture. It was ordered, that ally tierson sounding
the alarm-Intl, without iattrart:eus from the
French', should be shot on the spot ; that any per-
sen throwing a stone at a French soldier, should be
tried by a military cominileimi, and if found guilty,
be punished with death. If four or more persons
were found together. the French soldiers
on duty had a right to require them to separate,
401 in cute they disobeyed, to tire upon them.

prised at the conduct of the worthy Commoner
opposite (Mr. ll'aithinan), who, though the Cham-
pion of Lilsbrtv, was yet supporting a line of pro-
ceeding, which might introduce the oppressive
system of ballot amongst his fellow-citizens. The
City ought to.come forward at this moment, and
the rate was the mode.
Sir CHARLES Pima declared himself the decided
enemy to the mode of ballot, at the sometime that
he considered it the duty of the' ity of London,
in an epoch of exigency and danger, to gibe the
tone of loyalty and public spirit to the country at
large..
Alderman Comae and ether Members severally
explained.
Mr. Quin declared it his opinion, that amidst
the evident fluctuation of opinion upon the prin-
ciple of the measure, it was proper to send back
the document, for report he could not call it,
to the Committee. All sides had declared that it
wu not the fair and correct opinion of the Com-
initteee, and surely the Court would not give to it
that anthenticity, of which it was divested, by the
evidence of every Gentleman who spoke, whether a
,Aember of that Committee or not. He was unwil-
Rig to enter into the merits of the measure, but
eiggresaed hiaseetermined intention to oppose, at
alr times, and under every circumstance, any
measure militating against the rights and privileges
of the Freemen of London, whose Representative
in that Assembly he felt he was. The city of Lon-
don, in the hour of exigerty or danger, he knew
would not hesitate upon fractional applications of
its , resources to meet the laird. No; its whole
force would he found in dieall array, animated by
an ardent spirit of patriotism, and directed by an
union of energies.

OPERA I:00E DISPCTES.

The LORD CIaNCE LtOR decided • yeiterd_ly,
.'.r Arthur Piggott's motion for reinstating Mr.
Jewell as Treasurer of the Opera-house. lie
.11aierved that he had again carefully examined
the deeds, and the wore he went into them the
more they left him at a loss how to decide.
--
Hy the deed between Mr. Tiylor and thelate Mr.
Gould, it was impossible for the Court to appoint
a Treasurer without the consent of Mr. Taylor,
for by that deed he became the sole Manager
after the death of Mr. Gould ; but his Lordship
thought he ought not to be left in the receipt of
the einolninents of the house, without giving fall and
ample security for the proper disbursement of them.
le advised them seriously to settle their disputes
amongst themselves, for he knew but one motion
by which, if before him, he could interfere, and
that was, to shut up the house altogether. If that
motion should be made by the Trustees, be would
he bound to decide on it, and his ultimate decision
would ►e to order the closing of the house.
