MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22.

German Papers arrived last nigbs. The persc.
onions against the Jews-secarnut to have yet ter.
minuted. Accounts front Copenhagen say, that
very serious ilisturbances brole out at Elsineur on
the same day as at Copenhagen, and that the popu-
lace threatenato exterminate all the Jews if they
did nut hasten their departure as soon as possible.
Russia is said to be mak'ngrapil strides towards
the establishment of a naval power. The number
alter ships of war h. continually increasing.
The Paris Papers ceuvey the satisfactory assort
ance, that the epidemic malady which ravages An-
dalusia begins at length to decrease. It appears by
the extracts they, communicate from the Madrid
Papers of the 4th of November, that the mortality
in Cadiz had diminished in the proportion of one.
fourth within the space of ten days, and that the
number of sick, which amounted on the 18th of
October to no less than 13,338 persons, did not on
the 28th exceed 6.960. In Seville the malady.
seemed also to have abated some of its virulence,
and although its ravages had somewhat extended
themselves in Puerto Santa Maria and Xeres dela
Fontera, hopes are entertained that the fever has
passed its crisis, and that Ow province of Andalusia
will soon be restored to its usual health.

The King of France appears to have happily
overcome his late indisposition, but it is not inti-
mated whether his Majesty will open the Session of
the Legislative Chambers in person or by Commis-
sion. The Society called the Frien.ls to the-
Liberty of the Press, appear to have excited in an
extreme degree the hostility of the Min.stcrs. They
are no.lunger pmnit.ed to hold their meetings in a
public manner, and the Ministers seem resolved to
invade the sacredness of private residence to complete
timir destruction. For this purpose they caused
General Tarayee, at whose house the Satiety occa-
siona!ly held t.:eir meetings, to be summoned before
the Jage d'lmAirmelion, preparatory to a criminal
process against the members of the Society ; but the
General reposed upon the Charter, and he refused
to answer questions which were not authorised by
its provsions. No intimation is given that the
members of the S(wiety have in any respect forgotten
the duty they owe to their Sovereign and country..
It is, therefore, .strange, that the present Ministers
of France, to whnse exertions liberty is much in-
debted, should wish to persecute any individuals
merely fur their attachment to a free Press.

CARLILE the bookseller on Tuesday- received the
judgment of the Court of King's Bench, after an
ineffectual exertion on the part of hi.. Counsel, Mr.
Denman, to extend to him the benefits of the, sta-
tute of the 9th and 10th of William 111. enitcted•
fot the protection and benefit of U iitarians. The
sentence of the Court was pronounce ! severally
Nam the two offences of whirl•, he has been con-
victed. For the first oflimee, the publication of
" Thc Age of Reason" he was sentenced to pay a
fine of I,oool_ and• to be imprisoned in Dorchester
gaol for the space of two years ; for the second of.
fence, the publication of " Palmer's Principles of
Nature," he was sentenced to pay a fine of 5001.
and to be imprisoned in the same gaol for the space
of one year, and at the expiration of these three
years, to give securities f►r his good behaviour for
life, himself in 1,0001. and two sureties in 1001.
each.
The moderate nature of this sentence enhances in
our estimation the character of the Judges who de-
liberated upon it ; although the grossly Andel

laws called so loudly for punishment us might have
fatly justified a sentence twice as heavy ; yet as
Earthly pa.ver cloth then veal

we do not regret the lenity that has been shewn to
Mr. Carlile ; we hope it may have a proper effect
►:pon him, and that on his enlargement he will be
determined to amend his life, to subsist by honest
exertions. and nut attempt to acquire wealth by un-
dermining those hopes which in our heaviest.

rule was granted to shew cause why a criminal
information should not be filed against a Lancashire
Magistrate for refusing a warrant against one of the
Manchester Yeomanry, who was identified as a par-
ticipator in the butcheries of the i('h August, so
that we may now hope far a legal investigation into
that horrid affldr.

On Tuesday, immediately after the sentence
%as pronounced on Mr. Carlile, a writ of !marl
"arias was issued, to take possession of such of the
defendant's property as could be found upon his
premises in Fleet Street. In an hour afterwards
property to the a.aount, us is sdpposed, of 6001. was
taken in part sltistlictimi of the fines imposed on the
defendant ; 4u1.1 on Wednesday morning the " Tem-
ple of Deism" was completely closed. Crowiti, how-
ever, at times collected round the door. Somebody
Lod placarded a printed paper, with an obnoxious
inscription, in tearing down which placard the
Beadles were much interrupted and hooted by the
populace.
%Wednesday morning ut an early Lair Mr. Carlile
was sent to Dorchester gaol to undergo the sentence
of the Court of King's lknch.
Sir Manasseh Lopes set off last Wednesday night,
per mail, accompanied by a tipstaff, ti Exeter gaol,
in pur•tiance of his sentence. .1 few hours before
helot off, he received a letter from the Solicitor to
the Treasury to infirm him, that unless the fine of
10,0001. was paid Lim the Crown-office within ten
days, proceedings would be taken to levy the- Same.
It seems the Solicitor to the Treasury had intimated
to Mr. Franco, the nephew of Sir Malloisell, that
such steps would be taken, in consequence of
Sit noexp,rettd claim dieing made by the High Bailiff
of W'estmi .sterot this fine. This was stated to Mr.
Franco, b. way of apoiog% or excuse fir the eager-
ness thus inanitestetl to get this heavy line. The
sentence was, that :•ir Manasseh should pay a fine
of 10,000 i., be imprisoned 2 years, and be further
imprisoneu until such tine was paid. Sir Manasseh
therefore thtig!it, chat, according to all filmier
practice. the tine need not be pail till the expiration
of the two years. But itseems that a new practice
commenced in the case of Mr. Wolti!, Who was fined
for swin Sting transactions, that a motion was made.
fur a !nun iwias, to prevent the removal or dispo-
sal of the ,turds &c ft the city, the only property
that the at:fella:Mt possessed which could be made
available tin the line. The same has been done in
the ease of Carlile: and on :hese new precedents
they attach Sir iimassela so early. By an iname•
(Bate payment of 10,0001, it makes at least 1,0001.
difference by the interest of 10,0001. for two years.
Judgment was pronounced in the Court of King s
Bench, tat Wethifsday, upon a bookseller named
Joseph Russel, of Biriniogliam, who was convicted
at the Lit Warwick Assizes of having sold copies of
hone'., l'aroaics. The unfortunate man was sen-
tenced to six months' imprisonment in the gaol of
Warwick. It undoubtedly is severe that Russell,
should be ruined in property, deprived of his perso-
nal liberty, Irad subjected to a heavy punishment,
for a•t act which, on three successive trials, was so
leanly pruntruaced in a Court of Justice, by three
highly-respectable Juries, not to be an offence
vglinst the well being of the State.
Counsellor Phillips's speech at the :Missionary
Society at Gloucester has spread through this coun-
try, as also on the Continent. A singular occur-
rence happened to Mr Phillips, a few days before
heattentled that meeting. While he was at Chel-
tenham, he was invited to (line ut a gentleman's a
friend of his—at the table was a young lady, he
tyr.s struck with her beauty, and paid his addresses
to her, a gentleman presert had fir some time done
the same ; the party all went to Gloucester the day
of the meeting, and Mr. Phillips on the road offered
the lady his hand. On their return, the Gentleman
sent him a challenge, and the duty after the parties
met (as has been laid before the public in the papers).
The young Lady on Saturday last gave Mr. Phillips
her hand, preferring his pleadings to a handsome
settlement.

A parochial meeting of the parish of St. George
the Martyr, Southwark, was held on Friday last, to
take the opinion of the parishioners on the late ea-
Litnittnis proceedings at Manchester, when un ad-
ress to the Prince Reient to institute au inluiry
was umaniwously agreed to.
