LORD DEREs,FoRn.

.The Earl of LIVERPOOL then moved the Order
of the Day, for the consideration of the Prince
Regent's Message relative to Lord Beresford.
MeSsage having been read by the Clerk,
The Earl of LIVERPOOt observed, that theler-
vices of Sir William, now Lord Beresford, were
well known to all their Lordships. Ile had, how-
ever, the peculiar merit of haling trained and
rendered-efficient the Portuguese Army, the sol-
diers of which, under his judicious manageMent,
had fought in line with the7British troops, and
had justly earned, that meed of approbation
which had been awarded them, they hav-
ing been scarcely to be distinguished in their
conduct ;from the soldiers of the Britkh Army.
His Lordship took this opportunity of stating,
that with respect to the two other distin-
gnished Officers serving under the Duke of,Wel-
lington, who had been so justly honoured by the
Prince Regent in being raised to the Peerage,
they were in circumstances to decline any provi-
sion being made for them by Parliantent. He
had, therefOre, with respect to then!, only to hope
th.ct• they m:g,lit long enjoy the honours which
bad been so deservedly conferred upon them.—
His Lordship concluded by moving an Addisess to
the Plince Regent,, concurring ht the
.object of

Message, for ;haling pru

IMPRESSED VEESON.

ITr. LAWES rmoved for a writ of Habeas Corpus,
to he directed to The Coinniander of one of his
Majesty's ships, commanding hint to bring into
Court the body
_of a. youth, who had been ha-
pressed into hiS Majesy's sea service against
.his
will. He stqtvd, that the ground upon which he
made thit application was, that the,person so im-
pressed was under the age of eighteen years, which
was sworn to, and copies of the • register Of his
birth and bavism annexed to the affidavits dePOs;-;
ing the fact.--The Court inquired, whether- this
application was made by the desire and at the re-
quest of the impressed person 'himself ; and being
answered in the Affirmative, the rule was therefore
granted.

BOW-STREET..--A short since the house of
Mrs. Simmons, of Baker-street, while that lady
bad been at the play, was robbed of plate and
jewels, to the amount of two thousand one
dyed pounds, by several men, who kno'cked at the
door, rtiShed in, and locked the servant up im a wa-
ter-closet.- Two men and a woman, on whom some
of the property was found, have been examined
at this Office, and are remanded. They hail ob-
tained a knoWledge of the place where the pro,
perty lay by means of a pretended fortune-teller,
who had been in the house a few days before.

OUTRAGES AT NOTTINGHAM.

Letters received yesterday from Nottingham re-
present,_ that', the nefarious practice of frame-
breaking continifed to prevail there,,: to the great
annoyance and alarm of the town and neighbour-
hood. On Sunday everfirtg;about ten o'clock,
two men_ entered the house of -- Bullock, who
livei in a court at Bellagatc, with the familiar
question of flow do you d 03.7 and then pro-
ceeded up stairs: and broke,,fourframes, whilst
the door was guarded
_by eight or ten of their ac-
complices. A constable,. who lived next door,
bearing a noise, and 'supposing them-thieves, re-
paired to the snot, when one of the villains pre-
sented a pi4tiol at him, and threatened to blow
out his brains if he interfered.' The constable
'retired, and the banditti dispersed, without the
least diScovery having been made_as to their per-

We have seen a letter which affords some in-
sight into the system of combination-aired terror
. pursued by, these misguided men. They have
f'(,),:rnie...dn, themselves into clubs and committees,
who assemble in the different villages, and take
upon them the apportioning of the different sorts
of work to be done by the manufacturers, and
,ni .too , toe prrees-vrnen-trie men-ure Iv
be paid. If their deli-lands are not complied with,
the tpanufactnrer is placed in alarm for his pro-
perty, and those of the men who strike are. sup-
ported by subscriptions to a general fund, for
which also they issue their requisitions-. It is
supposed that the frames of the person mentioned
above were destroyed merely because he refused
to subscribe to tnis fund. These villains have now
become so bold, that they hold committees at all
times of the day, , and issue such orders as they
~ wish to have executed at night. If it is the plea-
sure of the committee that any set of. men shall
leave ~their employ, the order is given, and the
mandate is obeyed. The want or low price-of
work cannot be assigned as a palliation of these
excesses,, since a correspondent informs us, that
the prices on the making have advanced from 10
to 20 per cent. within the last' six
,months. We
have no doubt that Government. will deem it ne-
cessary to interfere, for the purpose of putting
down these enormities. The system of terror and
combination pursued is of a nature to prevent the
detection and conviction of the offenders, as in 1
the case of ordinary crimes. _
