LOYAL DEgr.4.RATIO
. •

• .
The Magistrates of the eastern Division of
the County. of
.Sussex, comprising the Masses- of
4;.'ves' revenSey, and Hastings, at the Quarter
Sessions, held at Lewes on the 13th instant, and
agreed to. the following DeClaration
We, the.undersigned, led ourselves called upon at this
alarriiitu;. period, to express our firm attachment to his. Ma-
- person; and to the,Constitutjon of this Country, as by
law established, in Church and State.
44 We view with extreme regret the extensive circulation
of blasphemous and r ditious publications, calculated to mis-
lead the ignorant and unwary, to alienate the minds of
the people from a due obedience to the Laws, and bring into
contempt the constituted Authorities and the Established
Religion of the Country. ,
44We therefore pledge onrseltes, to exert our utmost en-
,deavours to countensuce antd. ftnpport our. Holy
_to upholit that form of Goternment which affords eghal pro-
tection to the Peasautand the Peer,—and to tranctnit that
excellent and happy Constitution,' unimpaired, to the latest
posterity.".. •
This Declaration is signedsbY the Chairman,
Mr. PA RTINdTON, by the Earls of AspnuaNn.uu,
CHICITESTER, and StIEFFIELD, by the Members
for the Towns by thirty -.Magistrates, including
those who were not present, but have since de-
sired to testify their -entire concurrence in the
above Declaration, and the sentiments therein
expressed. It is expected that a County Decla-
ration will follow this.:

The great body of the Whigs seem determined
to support the Tolaical Speculations of Lord
LANSDOWNE and Mr. ALEXANDER BARING:, to-
tally disregarding those conservative principles
on which the Maritime power and greatness of
this Country is founded and maintained ; and if
We are to judge of the result of the proceedings
which these Economists intend to'submit to Par-'
liament, on the subjects to which we have al-
luded, by the opinions and conduct observed by
Sir MATTHEW 'WHITE RIDLEY and others of that
party, to the Deputations who attended them
last year from the North', we are apprehensive
that a vast majority of the persons who have re-.
cently been lending themselves in the Northern
Counties to the factious purposes of the Whigs,
will lament their folly, and mgret that they did not
return to Parliament Members who, uninfluenced
by party motives, would have protected them in
the hour of need, and would not abandon to fo-
reigners the advantages hitherto exclusively en-
joyed by British subjects, merely to gratify the
cupidity of some, and to indulge the speculations
of others, by attempting td realize the visionary
schemes of the theorists of the present dare

THE DUKE OF NORFOLK.---HIS Grace's at-
tendance at the Norwich Fox Club Dinner, and
his cordial approbation of the sentiments there
expressed, in favour of moderate Reform in Par-
liament, has given great satisfaction to Major
CARTWRIGHT and his party, who, now expect his
Grace will not wait for the result of any Parlia-
mentary proceeding to obtain that end; but that
he will of his own accord and free will, throw
open all the Boroughs in which, it is insinuated,
he has a predominant and over-ruling influence,
and in which patriotic undertaking he will doubt-
lessly be most cheerfully assisted by that excel-
lent Whig and eminent Lawyer, the present
Member for Horsham.

Sin llArtcouT LEES.—This able, spirited, in-
defatigable, and truly patriotic 'Writer has ad-
dressed a Firm LETTER to the People of Eng-
land, in which he places the conduct, the case,
and the Proceedings against THE QUEEN ill such
clear and striking points of view, as must con-
vince every impartial man of common sense,
throughout the Empire, and the world, of the
imperious necessity of the measures adopted, on
every ground of sound justice and dignified po-
licy. We regret that we have not at present
room for the insertion of this admirable Work,
but we earnestly recommend all the other
productions of this enlightened, loyal, and
patriotic Writer to the attention of every
friend of good government'and social order.
BettnAmi.—We stated yesterday that this man
is now living in the most splendid manlier' at
Paris, and, upon good authority, we find that
his annual expenditure is, on a moderate calcu-
lation, estimated at between 7 and 80001. Eng-
lish. We would advise the industrious classes of
this country, who live by the labour of their
hands and the sweat of their brows, to reflect
whence this quondam Courier can derive his vast
possessions and his magnificent income. This is
a subject also well worthy of the consideration of
the middliiv, orders of society, among whom
perhaps good sense, knowledge, and right prin.,
ciples are chiefly to be found, and a due reflec-
tion upon it may tend to dissipate that mist which
has, so long. hung over the understandings of
people who might reasonably be expected to
possess more judgment and discretion, moral and
religious principles.
AsiEcnoTE.—When VOLTAIRE, in the earlier
part of his life, was on good terms with PERICON,
he asked the latter to hear him read a tragedy,
which the former,had just finished. Pnattoll as-
seated, observing that he should wear his hat
when he assumed the seat of Criticism. VOL-
TAIRE began, and in the progress of his reading,
PERICON frequently pulled off his hat, and made
a bow. On concluding the piece, VOLTAIRE
asked his Critic the reason why he thus uncover-
ed himself and bowed at particular passages ?
The rcason,-said PERRON, is that I always pay
respect to old acquaintances. •
The William, which arrived at Liverpool on
Friday from Jamaica, brought accounts of a no-
tice having been posted up at the Coffee-room.
Kingston, 15th November, stating that Lord
COCHRANE had taken Lima; but accounts from
Jamaica, through the United States, to-the 30th
November, do not make any mention of the fall
of Lima. The
_intelligence brought by the Wil-
liam is therefore, we fear, not correct. The re-
port may probably have arisen from the defeat
of a corps of Royalists by the Patriots,-the Com-
mander of the Royalists being called General
ListA. The battle took place on the ,Ith No-
vember, near Santa Martha. General LIMA,,
with about half a dozen officers and privates,
were, all who escaped : 200. were killed. It was
supposed that Santa Martha would surrender to
the Patriots on the best terms that garrison could
make.

Yesterday, the Earl of LIVERPOOL had a nu-
merous party of the Peers to dine with him at his
house in Whitehall.

ing account Of the total..loss of the Free 'Trader
Tanjore, Capt. Dacre, by. fire off VattiCalOa,
the evening' of the 6th instant.. The. foiiowin

.to us tip one of the . sufferers. The CO,
chin has brOught up the passengers and officers
of the ship (of which we subjoin a liSt), the crew
remained at Trincomalee.

Captain Dacre, Mr. Wardell, .tionercargo ; blr. Ibbetson,,

Ship Tanjore, of London, Captaip George
Hall Dacre, Commander, sailed from the DUwns
May 2.'2, 1820, and lost sight of the coast7Jf Eng-
land May 31, 1820, and proceeded on her voy-
age to. Ceylon, Madras, and Bengal, made the
Island of Ceylon on Sunday; Sept. 3, iS2O. On
the sth of Sept. about six p.m': anchored' off natl.-
cola River, and landed Sir Richard Ottley
(Judge), the Rev. Mr. Browning; and Mrs.
Browning.

On the morning of the Gat of Sept. weighed
our anchor; dropped farther froin_the shore ,and
brought up again; employed sending off a native
boat, with passengers baggage, together With
Messrs. Oswin, Kettle and Adam (a Ceylonese);.
also a black boy, servant to Sir It-. Ottley, about
one p.m. weighed with a light breeze from the
eatward and fine weather ; stood along shore to.
'the southward. At. sunset the sugar loaf bore
about .S. S.W. Tli'e Coin about S. W. half W.,
and the Barons 'Cap W. by S., squally, appear-
ance with lightning. At about seven shortened.
sail, heavy squalls and rain with vivid lightning.
At about 8. 30. p.m. felt the ship violently struck.
with lightning; and immediately she was disco-
vered on fire in - the main hold ; stopped the
scuppers, manned the punaps, sent the carpenters
to scuttle the deck, and men to draw water and
throw down the hold to extinguish the names.;
but finding the fire and smoke increasing at all
hatchways, and every appearance of the ship soon
being in one body of fire, ordered the boats to
be got .ready, and succeeded with difficulty in
hoisting out the yawl whiCh was stowed in the
long boat. Hooked on the long boat, but
the flames of fire front the main hatchway had
communicated to her, and. rendered her useless ;
a small four-oared boat, which was on the lar-
board quarter, was lowered, endeavoured to pe-
netrate between the deek to get oars for the
yawl, as also some bread and a little water, but
the fire and smoke was such as to prevent us.
A binnacle compass; a tin case containing the
'ship's papers, and a box of dollars marked
that was in the poop cabin, were lowered into the
boats, but not the smallest article.of food or a
drop of water could be procured ; the quarter
deck by this time was in flames, and every person
had now got into the boats (48 in number, the
greater part half naked,) with the exception of
Thomas Phillips and John Williams, seamen,
who were killed ou board
.by the lightning. We
were now obliged to leave the ship for the safety
of our lives, with only three oa:rs, which were put
in the small boat to tow the other.

We shaped a course tor the shore, but, from
the light variable airs, and the. ship at times ap-
proaghing us, we were obliged. to steer a variety
of courses. At 10 p. m. saw the main and rnizelt
masts go. We slow stood W. S.W., at 10.30. the
foremast went. The ship wag now in One body
of fire ; .pulled ai,l 'night with the fire in sight,
and saw it till 4 a. in. on the 7th Sept., at 5 a. m.
the day-light broke—saw nothing of the fire but
the smoke issuing from it. At .5. 30. p. m. saw
the' land, at about 7 a. in. discovered a native
boat in shore at anchor. At about 10, hoarded
her, all of us being much fatigued, and ascertain-
ing that Trincomalee
,was about 16 miles distant,
deemed it prudent to avail ourselves of this op-
portunity to arrive safe.
An arrangement being made with the master of
the boat, he got under weigh about noon and
towed us, and7about S a. m., on the Sth, being in
sight or Trincomalee flag-staff and the wind
unfavourable, dispatched the gig with Mr.
Ibbetson, chief Officer, and Mr. IVardell, the
supercargo, to Trincomalee, to report our si-
tuation, where they arrived at 11 a. in., and
irnmediately boats were dispatched by commis..
sioner Upton, of: his Majesty's dock.lard, frorh
whom, and the 6entlemen of the Establishment,
we experienced the greatest hospitality_and kind-
ness.
