rade.—Won easy.

We hoped, when we announced the restoration of
tranquillity at Manchester, that we should not soon
have to record any similar mpvements in other places,
especially as the Manufacturers had agreed to advance
the price of labour : but with grief we learn, that on
Monday last, the market day at Rochdale, (12 miles
from Manchester) a great number of operative wea-
vers assembled at the former place. A tumult en-
sued, several persons were taken into custody, and
committed to the New Prison. The mob did not,
however, disperse, and when erening came, found
means to set fire to the New. Prison, having first set
the prisoners at liberty. This fine building, we are
sorry to add, was burnt down to the ground.
We have not been able to learn farther particulars,
but we hope no other consequewes would follow ; for
the Manufacturers at Manchester had a meeting on
Tuesday, at the Bull's Head Inn, tosettle an advance
in the prices of weaving. This meeting was very nu-
merously attended, and it was unanimously agreed to
advance the wages, in two proportions ; the first to
take place yesterday, the other on the Ist of August.
The working people were all made quite happy by
thii event, and tranquillity will now continue.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, JUNE 2.—The sup-
ply of Wheat this day is rather considerable, and the
sales effected are at rather lower prices—Rye this
week is liightr—Barley and Malt continue at small

The 'rounds open wh;elt mat a distinetine has been adtnitted
in later times, and upon which., for the course of nearly a century,
the Creivit has forborne to instruct the Commanders of its ships
of war, to search foreign ships of war for deserter., I have al.
ready had the honour to explain to you : and you will have per-
eeived that those grounds are wholly inapplicable to ships in the
merchant service.

RELAfI TO AMERICA.
The following is an opy of the Let•er of hTr. Seeretasi•
CottNytto to Mr. Mum RO, vrlach we made only slight
mention in our Piper of'Tuesday
Foreign Office, Sept. 23, 1407.
SIII—I have laid before the King, my master, the
letter which I had the honour to receive front you) on
the 3th of this month.

That a foreign power will not, knowingly, retain in its national
service, mariners the natural-born subjects of his Majesty, who
have been recalled by public proclamation, may be regarded as
a presumption asilling out of the hostile nature of the aet, and out
of the probable consequences to which such-an act of hostility
most lead. •
flu. with respect to merchant vessels, there- is no such pre-
sumption. When mariners, subjects of his Majesty, are em-
ployed in the private service of foreign individuals, under private
civil contracts, the King's subjects, and the foreign individuals
with whom they contract to serve, enter into engagements incon-
sistent with the duty of his Majesty's subjects towards him ; but
to those engagements the Government of the foreign nation has
not made itself a party. In such cases, the species of redress
which the practice of all tittles has admitted and sanctioned, is
that of taking those subjects at sea out of the service of such
foreign individuals ; and recalling them to the discharge of that
previous and paratnottnt duty, which they owe to their Sovereign
and to their country.

Before I proceed to observe upon that part of it
which relates more immediately to the question now
at issue between err two Governments, I aio corn,
mantled, in the first instance, to express the surprise
which is felt at the total omission of a subject, upon
which I had already been commanded to apply to
you for information—the Proclamation purported to.
have been issued by the President of the United States.
Of this paper, when last I addressed you upon it, you
professed rot to have any knowlelge beyond. what
the ordinary channels of public information afforded,
nor any authority to declare it to be authentic.
I feel it an indispensible duty to renew my enquiry
on this subject. The answer which I may receive
from you is by no means unimportant to the settle-
ment of the discussion which has arisen from the en-
counter between the Leopard and the Chesapeake.—
The whole of the question arising out of that transac-
tion, is in fact no other than a question as to the a-
mount cf reparation due by his Majesty for the un-
authorised act of his Officer : and you will, therefore,
readily perceive, that in so far as the Government of
the United States have thought proper to take that
reparation into their own hands, and to resort to
measures of retaliation, previously to any direct ap-
pliCation to the British-Government, or to the British
Minister in America, for redress ; in so far the Bri-
tish Government is entitled to take suLh measures into
account, and to consider them in the estimate of re-
paration which is acknowledged to have been crigi-
nallv due.
The total exclusion of all ships of war belonging
to one of two Isligerent parties, while the ships of
war of 'the other were protected by the harbours of
the neutral pessvcr, would furnish no light ground of
complaint against that neutral, if considered in any
other point of view than as a measure of retaliation
for previous injury ; and, so considered, it cannot
but be necessary to take it into account in the adjust-
ment of the original dispute. I am, therefore, dis-
tinctly to repeat the inquiry, whether you arc now
enabled to declare, Sir, that the Proclamation is to be
con•cidered as the authentic act of your Government?
and if so, I am furthr to inquire whether you are
authorised to notify the intention of yotir Govern-
ment to withdraw that Proclamation on the know-
ledge of his Majesty's disavowal of the act which
occasioned its publication ?
The light in which you are directed to represent Admiral
Berkeley's conduct, and the description which you give of the
character of the measure imputed to him; that he acted as if
he bad the power to make war and to decide the causes of war,"
sufficiently evince the necessity of comprehending is this diuus-
sion, all the circumstances which hive led te, or have followed
the action with the Chesaputke.
Undoubtedly the attack upon a national ship of war, is an act
of hostility; and the very essence of the charge against Admiral
Berkeley as you repre.ent it, is the having taken upon lsimself to
Commit an act of hostility without the previous authority of his
Government.

That the CUITii: of this right involves some of the dearest in-
terests of Grim Britain' your Government is ready to acknow-
h•dge, aad bas accordingly anthorized you to propose certain re-
gulations, which you apprehend would be equivalent in their
effect for the preservation of the interests concerned.
There will be no indisposition here to entertain at a proper
time, the.discussion of such proposed regulations. But when you
recollect thitt many proposals to this effect have already been
brought forward, and have been found wholly Inadmissible; when
you have yourself recently had occasion to experience the diffi-
culty of framing any satisfactory arrangement upon the subject ;
with all the anxiety which is properly felt by both Governments
for the speedy adjustment of the difference between them, and for
the " healing of that deep wound which you state to have been
inflicted on the national honour of the United States ;" surely it
is not well advised to make the termination of that difference and
the healing of that wound, dependent wholly on the complete suc-
cesa of an attempt, which has already been made so often, and
se!tich has hitherto uniformly failed.
Your own masoning thews that you are aware of the more than
ordinary difficulty which must attend any arrangement for the
prevention of desertion, between two notions, whose similarity
of manners and habits, and whose identity of language, Interpose
so many inipctlinients to the disairoithtion of " national cha-
racter."

To there circumstances. and not, as you seem almost to insist:-
ate, to any peculi.ir harshness towards the United States, it is
owing, that the exercise of this right, as with respect to them,
is nece,sarit:.• more frequent than with respect to any other nation ;
and is felt I,s, th..in to be more rigid and vexatious. But /hese
circumstance, cannot furnish as argument for the suspension of
the ext rcise of the right with respect to America, unless it be
contended that multiplicity of frauds, and difficulty of detection,
ar: reasons against suspter,m, or motives fur acquie,:cence.
As little fouudation is there for the complaint that the prac-
tice has grown out of the recognition of American indepen-
dence; and that the character of that event is ..ffected by its con-
tinuance.

It is needless to repeat, that these rights existed in their ful-
lest force for ages previous to Co. establislunent of the Uni-
ted Statcs of America as an independent Government ; and it
would be difficult to contend that the recognition of that inde-
pendence can have operated any change in that respect ; unless it
can be strewn, that in acknowledging the Government of the Uni-
ted States Great Britain virtually abdicated her own rights, as a
naval power; or unless there ware any express stipulations, by
which the ancient and presumptive usages of Great Britain, foun-
ded in the soundest principles of natural law, though still enforced
arain,t other ludependent nations of the world, were to he sus
pended whenever they might come in contact with the interests
or the feelings of the American people.
I would now recall your attention to the consideration of the
question respecting the late transaction between the Leopard and
the Chesapeake, which, till the receipt of your letter, I imagined
to be the only question actually in discussion hetwaien us ; and in
consideration of the delicacy and pressing importance of which,
we had, by common consent, .waved the consideration of all
other matters pending between our two Governments. Into the
discussion of this question I am prepared to enter ; with what dis-
position, on the part of his Majesty's Government, to consult the
feelings and the honour of the Government of the United States,
it is not necessary for• me here to declare, for you yourself have
done justice to the sincerity of that disposition.
he difficulties in the way of such adjustment are already
smoothed, by the disavowal voluntarily offered, as the very onset
of the discussion, of the general and unqualified pretension to
search ships of war for deserters. There remained only to ascer-
tain the facts of the particular case, and to proportion the repaia.
tion to the wrong.
Is the British Government now to understand, that you, Sir,
are not authorized tamer into this question separately and dis-
chiefly.; without having obtained, as a preliminary concession, the
consent of this country to enter into discussion with respect to the
practice of searching merchant vessels far deserters ?

The provocation which may have led to quell an act, without
such previous authority, if it cannot justify, may possibly estenu-
ate if: at the steps which have been -*len in r,eprisal, though
they cannot alter the character of the original act, may and do
Materially affect every question concerning the reparation claimed
for it. On this ground it is, that, while lam commanded to re-
peat neyou (what you consider as so satisfactory), that the gene-
ral and unqualified pretension to search ships of war for deserters
is not asserted bytitis country, 1 am precluded from concurring in'
the inference, that therefore " the national character of the men
who were violently taken from on board the Chesapeake makes
no part of the present question."
If the right to search ships of war for deserters is Dot insisted
upon by this country, It is' not because the employment and the
detention of British mariners on board the national ships 'of any
tit-ate are considered as less injurious towards Groat Britain, than
their employment on board of merchant vessels (a prispositiOn
which would be manifestly absurd): it is not intended to allow,
that the sailors of Great Britain may be justly, employed against
her consent, in foreign ships of war; but merely that* redress is,
in that ease, to be sought for by Goiernment • froin Govern-
•nt ; and not to be summarily enforced by the unauthorized
Officer of any of his Majesty's ships of war.
rt follows from this reasoning, that not only the " national
character of the men taken out of the Chesapeake is matter for
consideration, bnt that the reparation to be made by the British
Government to that of the United States, would depend, among
ssiher circumstances, on the question whether an act, which the
El-iris}, Government would be judified in considering as an act Of
hosility, had been committed by the Government of the United
States fin refusing to discharge British seamen in their national
service), previonsly to th • commission of an act of hostility of an
Officer of his Majesty.
The act of th, British Officer would still be an unauthorized
act, and as such liable to complaint and disapprobation ; but the
case, as between Government and Government,would be mate-
rially varied. At the same time that 1 offer to you this explana-
tion of the principles upon which his Majesty has authorized me
to discuss with you the subject of your representation, and that I
renew to you the assurance of the disposition to conduct that dig-
erssion in the most amicable form, and to bring ittn a conclusion
satisfactory to the honour, and to the feelings of both countries ;
it is matter of regret that you should havebeen instructed to an-
twa to the demand or reparation for the attack of the Leopard
urn, the Chesapeake, any proposition whatever respecting the
search for Briish seamen in merchant vessels ; a subject which is
wholly unconnected with the case of the Leopard and the Chesa-
peake., and which can only tend to complicate and embarrass a
discussion, in itself 4f sufficient delicacy and importance.

Whether any arran ges•rnt can be devised by which this prac •
tice may admit of natidiScation, without prejudice to the essential
rights and interests if (;rest Britain, Is a questioti which, as I
have already said, the Brirish Goverrina.m may, at a proper sea-
son, be ready to entertain ; but whether the consent of Great
Britain to the entering into such discussion shall be extorted as tbe
price of an amicable adjustment, as the condition of being admit-
t:d to make honourable reparation for au injury, is a question of I
quite a different sort, and one which can be answered no other-
wise than by an unqualified refusal. I earnestly recommend to
you, therefore, to consider, whether the instructions which you
have received from your Government may not leave you atliherty
to come to an adjustment of the case of the leopard and th• Che-
sapeake, Independently of the other question with which it ap-
pears to have been unnecessarily connected.

If your instructions leave you no discretion, I cannot press you
to act in contradiction to them. In that ca, there can be no ad-1
se
vantage in pursuing a discussion which you are not authorized to
conclude ; and I shall have only to regret, that the disposition of
his Majesty to terminate that difference amicably and satisfacto-
rily, is for the present rendcrod unavailing.
In that case his Majesty, in pursuance of the disposition of
which he has given such signal proofs, will lose no time in send-
ing a Minister to .Ninerica, furnished with the necessary-instruc-
tions aid powrr' for bringing this unfortunate dispute to a eon-
elusion, consistent with the harmony subsisting between great
Britain and the United States. But in order to avoid the incon-
venience which has arisen from the mixed nature of your instruc-
tions, that Minister will not be empowered to entertain, as con-
nected with this subject, any proposition respecting the search of,
merchant vessels.

it will, however, be Ear more satisfactory to Lis Majesty to
learn, that upon re-consideration you think yourself authorized
to separate the two questions.
J hope you will allow me to express, at the same time, the sin-
cere pleasure which I should feel in having to treat with you, Sir,
yersonally, for the re-estatalishinent of a good uc..ierstancling be-
tween our two countries.

. .
In stating the ground. upon which your Government evert
with coofidence that " the whole subj.xt of impressment. soall ;
be taken up at this gime,' and that to making the reparoion g
Which was claimed for the par.iralar injury alledged to have
been sustainvd by the United States in the Fate unfortunate trans- g
action off the Capes of %irginia, " a remedy shall be provided
far the whole evil ;" rat appear to have been directed to assume
that this act of violence (such as you describe ft) is the natural and
almost necessary result of the practice of impressment of British
seamen from the merchant vessels of other states • and to repro- #
sent the partirolar transaction, and the general question of ins
ressment as " identified in the feelings and sympathies of your
Nation, as *ell :a in the sentiment of your s:overnment."
" With every atteation due to the feelings of the people of the
Abated States, I ant cure you will readily allow that those feelings
cannot properly be "cnsidered as affecting the merits of the case.
The first ebullitions of " National sensibility," may very tutu-
rally have communicated an impulse to the proceedings of the
Ainericau Government ; but it cannot be expected that they
should guide thedeliberate opinions and conduct of the Govern-
anent with which you have to terse. I would farther observe to
you, that your Government ri.nnor reasonably claim any advan-
tage in argument from the expressed sense of its own people, un-
less it be prepared at the some time to take upon itself a respor.si-
lelity (which there is no desire of attributing to it) far the outrage
and indecency, with which, upon the Lite occasion, that expression,
ras, in too many instances, been accompanied. It is better for
tempt-me reasoning, and assuredly it is more advantageous for
the Government of the United States, that the consideration of
popular feeling should be wholly omitted in this discussion.
The sight and the practice of which you arc iostructed to corn-
yl~tn, as .
irreconcileuble with justice, and intolerable in all their
far: s, have been exercised by Great Britain from the earliest ages
p the British naval power; men without any qualification or es-
(quo* in favour of national ships of war".

I h..ve the hoooor to be, with the highest ecasideration, Sir,
your most obedient humble sErvant, (signed)
GEORGE CANNING.

is the custom in the Old Bailey Court, and I believe in some other
Courts to detain persons relative to whom the Grand Juryhave
rejected the Bills of Indictment, till the Grand Jury is discharged,
which is always many days after, and might best-vet-al weeks.
Nothing is more contrary to the letter and spirit of the laws of
England than this practice, yet such persons are constantly de-
tained on the impertinent ground that there errs ke other charges
against them. The obligation lies, of course, it, the Court and el e
prosecutors to adduce such new chargas immediately, and persons
ought not to be detained under every severity of
pline on speculatiam only, after their acquittal by a Grand Jury;
persons too, over whom neither a Court ea' Criminal Law, nor
any other power in England, has any legal right to exercise any
severity whatever. The 14th Geo. LI. formally recognizes this
right of immediate diseharge in persons relative to whom a Grand
Jury has rejected the bill, but unfortunately it is implied by the
terms of that Act that die party is to be brought into open
Court; consequently, any arbitrary Judge has it in his power to:
render nugatory the security of the subject against unjust imprison-
' ment, and thus to overturn, as it were, the very corner-stone of
Public Liberty. The power of discharge ought to be executive in •
the Sheriff, inonediately after the Grand Jury have made their
return of ignoramus in open Court, except in cases where detainer
is formally lodged on specific grounds.
Fifthly.—The mode of paying the Salaries of Gaolers by exac-
tions from the most destitute objects, under the name of Gaol
Fees, (w.hat alone would be proper) such fees should be under Le-
gislative regulations, or abolished altogether, and Gaolers paid nut
of the county rate's like other servants of the public. Theft...retched
objects who are conlidered as de. Tving the King's pardon have a
demand made on them of 31. loss before they tai leave the Gaol
of Newgate. Those petty offenders who are sentenced to pay a
' gine of is. or to suffers slight punishment and them be discharged,
are obliged to pay 255. fees before they can obtain such discharge.
Debtors are in like manner called upon fur es. hod. after they have
xhausted their last resources during their confinement, orin com-
pounding with their Creditors. A vciy slight consideration vt•ill
evince the cruelty of a system by which those are called upon to
contribute to the salary of a public officer, who, urged by every
, species of privation, have exhausted all their means, and the
' greater part of whom belong to those classes of society, who in
their. most fluorishing circumstances, ire seldom able to accumu-
' late such sums as they are called upon topay, at a time when A
jes-
ter policy would glee rather than take away, and se hest they are,
objects rather for the fostering hand of dimity than for the gripe
of extortion.

lAIPOitTANT DIsCOVERY:.
THE A d vantage the Public must always deri,-e
from regularly educated professional men directing almost.
exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was never mare
clearly denionanued than liy the unexampled succe.ss 'which has
attended th,: administration of their new remedy, and the extraor-
dinary cures It has perrortned. For a long series of years, Bessie.
OCR at c and Co.! Surgeons, formerly i.e his lidajesty's service, have
made the Venereal Dises.e'the particular object of their iovisr-
gation, and are !soppy-in having di/COW:red a medicine superior to
mercury in the cure of that complaint; it is sufficient to observe
that the diens of this remedy arc diametrically opposite to those
of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige d
the virus, in. its most continued stages, yet It does not M the Lear
injure' the constitution ; on the contrary, it renurates the systes.
in all its natural functiims, promotes appetite, and facilitates di-
gestion : thus iti4t ad of reducing a strong and vigorous

of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or front the more insidious, though.
not less destructbre, isedulg. race of incautious youth of both sexes

disorders which are the enti.eqniasce of this solitary vice, there are
'loin: more afflicting than that dietrc.seing state of alebiiity and doe
liciency whicit'prevents or embitters the matrimonial state ; the
unhappy sufferer broods over Li% mi,fortune, ashamed toseek

Sixthly.—Our rank abound in miserable objects wito have
committed enormities during periodical fits of insanity, or urishr
the influence of settled mania, and these unfortunate persons arc,
as the lase now stands, subject to perpetual imprisontnent in the
common gaol, to the constant annoyance: and often to the great
terror of the other prisoners ; we have now six persons of this
deAcription in the yards of Newgate. Does not Humanity im-
periously demand that a public liosplial should he built (or the re-
ception of such maniacs, and that they should be treated as ob-
jects of compassion rather than as criminals ? It appears to me,
Sir, that no person who feels and understands the ftee and liberal
spirit of the Laws and Constitution of England,. will for a mo-
ment hesitate to give you his warmest support in favour of such
clauses of your new Bill, as shall embrace the preceding objects.
If to these regulations you can unite those points which are pecu-
liarly your own, and can also provide, that, under certain capital
charges, the accused on adducing proofs of poverty should have
Counsel assigned him ; and that witnesses, in all criminal cases,
should be examined separately, or be admitted into Court only
one at a dine, you would introduce that perfection 111t0 the prac-
tice of our criminal Courts, which the law and the Constitution
suppose to exist, of which it is unquestionably susceptible, and to-
wards which it is ou:dutytoattempt everypossiblr approximation.
Seriously anxious that these points should be fully considered,
at a moment when a Bill having collateral vi,:ws, is under the
consideration of the Legislature,
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your very humble Servant,
(Signed) R. PHILLIPS.
