LATEST ACCOUNT,: Fit()%l MANCIIES

The town is pet fectly quiet this morning, and
business is going on as usual on a Tuesday. Yrs-
.
terday evening passed off very well, though gent
1411MbeCS cat persona of the lower order assembled
in the afternoon on the New Bailey /3ridge, and
in Bridge-street. Some mischief-making felicity
had repotted that Hunt had been ordered to he
liberated from the New Bailey, but that be had
refused to go out until 50001. had been paid to
hint for damages !! No argument could convince
ihe credulous multitude of the absurdity of the
tale, and many of them waited for hours in mo-
mentary expectation of seeing the gates opened,
and /lulu walking out its triumph. About *even
o'clock the streets in the vicinity were com-
pletely full, and some few shopkeepers were so
alarmed at to close their shutters. It became a
tueAsure of prudence to disperse the people,- atid
a few constables, with three or four soldiers
from the barracks close to the prison, kept the
crowd quiet ; though they were scarcely driven
out of the streets at one end, than they appeared
at the other. No act of outrage was committed ;
they gradually left it as it got dark.

A little after seven a slight alarm was occasioned
in Market-street, by an explosion of 'gunpowder.
ft proved to have takers place in the shop of Mr.
Styao, a gunsmith. Mrs. Sryan (tad imprudently
been striking a light in the shop : a spark fell on
some loose powder, which took tire, and cornrow
nicating with a quantity in some scales, the whole
exploded. Every pane of glass was shattered to
atoms, and the materials blown across the street.
Mrs. Styan ran out in flames, and was much burnt.
A. great crowd, consisting mostly of persons who
had been attracted to the tower part of the town
by the report concerning Elunt, flocked to the
place,
.lint they were soon dispersed.
Maoy respectable persons attended at the New
Coint House on Monday morning, in ex-
pecta;ioo that Hunt would be again brought up,
but were disappointed. He will probably not be
examined before the return of Mr. Hay and Mr.
Hardman front London ; ,they are expected to- ,
morrow. Mr. Bouchier, with an assistant, has
been sent down by Government, and has been bu-
sily employed taking examinations.
Mark Wardle, ogle of the late Editors of The
Observer, was bailed on Friday.
Art infamous bill was posted about the town
yesterday, beaded " Peter-Loo Massacre,- print-
ed at The Off-server office. It &nominees an in-
tended publicatioo, the First number to be printed
on Wednesday, price 2d. containing the particu-
lars of the " Murders" out Monday, by a baud of
" armed rutii,itts."

it does not nppear that any chill meetings were
held by the Ilefor niers on Sunday morning, though
they were frequent on the Sunday before the late
diipersion.

The following is an extract of R letter from
Manchester, dated Aug. 21, One o'Clork, r. na.
" Nothing final has yet been determined with
regard to the State Prisoners. f have 'just come
from the New Bailey. They have not to-day been
brought up. The Deputation front the Magis-
tracy has not yet arrived front London, and
neither commitment or liberltion can take place
till then. We can get no more intelligence of
Hunt, or his mode of conducting himself, than if
be were in the Tower."

The effects or the late combination to create an
artificial lila in the Funds, are beginning to be
'felt. Tttrea failures have been declared publicly,
several more privately, and many more are ex-
pected, either ro•day or during the week. The

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday last. The following are extracts :
" Pnars, Au(i. 23.—The King yesterday re-
ceived the Spanish Ambassador, the Prince de
Talleyrand, the Ministers, &c.
" A,private letter from Carlsbad, dated the 13th
inst. says, the bases of the arrangements to be
proposed to the Plenipotentiaries of the German
Sovereigns at that town were finally agreed upon
in the presence of the King of Prussia, at the
Preliminary Conferences of Treplitz, at which the
Prince de Hardenberg assisted. What proves
that these arrangements arc limited to the affairs
of Germany is, that no Minister from any Fo-
reign Power whatever assisted at them.

" The Count de Flahault is expected at Paris
on Thursday, with his wife.
The Conferences at Carlsbad are terminated.
The Prince de Metternich quits that town the 2Gth
inst., to return to Vienna.

It is said that Marshal Gouvion St. Cvr, the
Minister at War, has sent in his resignation.
" The Prince de Talleyrand leaves Paris again
on Friday for his estate at Valencay.
i‘The Duke of Hamilton gave a brilliant Con.
cert on Friday evening, which was honoured by
the presence of the Duke de Berry.
" DUSSELDORF, Ano.l appears that
evil-minded persons arc disposed to make our
city the theatre of scenes similar to those
which have been witnessed at Wurtzburgh and
Frankfort. A bill was posted up yesterday at,the
corners of several streets, announcing tor the
26th instant a general massacre of the Jews, and
the pillage of their houses.
" NuaemaEno, AUG, Li.—The Prussian Go-
vernment has set at liberty several of the persons
arrested, and others have been discharged from
all accusation.

" VIRSNA, Auo. 12.—There arrive here daily
Couriers and Estafettes ; Diplomatic communica-
tions are very frequent the greater part of the
dispatches arrive front Carlsbad.
" PETaRSBURGH, JULY 30.—Odessa is to be
opened as a free port on the 15th August.

" Beaux, Aug. 13.—8 y a Cabinet Order,
dated the 28th ult. the King hal prohibited all,
Prussian subjects fro►a frequenting the University
of Jena, under pain of forfeiting all prospect of
being appointed to any public employ.

" FRANKFOR r, Auo. 18.—Private letters from
Berlin state, that Dr. Jahn will be set at liberty
in a few days. It appears, that the Conspiracy
has not been considered serious enough to form
the subject of a prosecution. It is believed that
the accused have themselves given satisfactory ex-
planation, and promised a more prudent conduct
for the future,"
