fated to lie on the table of every studious persons_as a book of
constant reference. The retrenchment of many .uperfluous and
useless articles, having caused a considerable reduction in sire,

According to letters from Bourdeanx, there are
daily passing strong divisions of French troops,

the ensuing year. In all our ports, the following
order of the Minister of Marine, dated the 18th June,
has been publised

" Far these three months the English cruizers pursue and cap.
tare the French fishermen; they commit these acts of violence,'
even though, upon the example given by the Emperor and King
in March, 1800, tha British Government in the following June
solemnly declared, that they would cause the French fishermen
to be respected; and while that Government. knows very well,
that the laws of the Empire (Regulation of the 112 d May, 1803)
order that enemies fishermen shall not be int;rrupted. The mo-
deration with which these acts of barbarity and violations of good
faith have been hitherto met, has not brought back the British
Government to its engagements, or to more manly sentiments.
His Majesty the Emperor anilJeing therefore orders his ships of
war, and privateers In particular, to attack the English fishermen,
to make them prisoners, and to captore and destroy their vessels.
These reprisals shall be exercised till the British Government
shall cease to persecute the French fishermen.

ULM, JUNE 17.

According to accounts from France, not only has
the French Oovernment, but also its allies, broken
off all diplomatic relations with the Romish Court,
and the idea of a Concordat has disappeared.

It appears from an article from Amsterdam, dated
July '3, that King Louis has been making a progress
through the department of Guelderland, inspecting"
the various manufactories, and ordering the dikes'
Ste to be repaired in various places. When at Am-.
st,riam, he received most graciously the different
Constitutei Antborit'es, and the Ministers of the int.-
rious Chrkstlan Communities. ,A general report. ap-1
pears to have prevailed, that King Louis would thisl
year also pass out of his kingdom. He therefore took
an opportunity of declaring, that since his last return,
his occupations had so much increased, that.he never
intendedto leave the kingdom. " I was not born in
I:iollai a," he observed, oo but / mean to end my life
in it: you see that thus nothing can make me depart
from my first duties,from which nothing can absolve
me."

ANOTHER LETTER, SA ME DATE.

" On Monday last, there being a report of the rioters having
held a meeting at Stockport, about six miles from Manchester,
two troops of horse were dispatched from that town to disperse
them. Yesterday morning, before eight o'clock, they began to
assemble in great numbers, in a held in the vicinity of this city,
and in a very short time their numbers amounted to several thou-
sands. Several detachments of dragoons from the Barracks soon
appeared, cleared the ground, and took several of them into cus-
tod7. The dragoons were on duty the whole of the forenoon, and
lett a guard at the New Bailey. Two corps of Volunteers wese
also under arms, and the remainder ordered to be ready at a mo-
ment's notice. 'I he weavers, it is said, have come to a determi-
nation to work no more under the prices affixed in their minimum,
and have passed a resolution that no more work should be done
for several houses that were the most obnoxious to them. It is
reported that all was bustle again yesterday at Stockport, and that
they threatened to meet again in ten times greater numbers here
next day."

ORDER OF THE DAY.

Mr. TIERNEY rose to move the Order of the Day for the
House resolvieg itself into a Committee to hear further evidence cn
the Petitions sgaiust the Orders in Council. He urged the prece-
dence due to a subject so long pending, snd the great inconve-
nience to eve respectable witnesses, who were obliged to absent
themselves from their business, in attending day after day, to give
evidence. He hoped the Noble Lord (Castlereagh), would have
ho objection to postpone his Local Militia Bill for this purpose,
which would be a relief to gentlemen after List night's debate.
Lord CAST LERLAGH was willing to accede to this, if the
witnesses were ready.
The witnesses, however, did not appear to be in attendance.
The question of preference between the two measure gave rise
to i desultory conversation, which continued for nearly an hour,
in the course of which the Speaker was frequently under the ne-
etas?• y of interfering to adjust the order of proceedirg.
• Mr. WM TR FAD at length moved, that the order for the at-
tcntlatice of the witnesses be enforced, and that they do attend at
Ota bir to-morrow, to be examined touching the cause of their
non-attendance this day.
Before this question was disposed of, a messenger announced
that the witnesses were now in attendance.
The House then resolved itself into the Committee.
In support of the Petition, the witnesses examined were Mr.
Rucker, Mr. Ainswell, and Mr. molten, merchants, of I.ondon,
and two other persons ; after which, the Chairman left the Chair,
and was ordered to report to-morrow.

Lord FOLKESTONI rose to express his regret,
that the Military Commissicners' Bill had been read
the third time and passed before he came down to the
House, although he had arrived befi)re the usual
hour of commencing public business, having some
observations to make on the subject of that Bill
The observations related to thu Medical Department
of the Army, in which the Commissioners, in their
Rerort,ltad ssumed to themselves the credit of having
di-covered many gross frauds, and effected many im-
portant ergulat.ons with very great savings to the Pub.
ic; but at the same time they have passed over totally
without notice, the merits of Mr. Knikht, Surgeon-
General, by whose vigilance and jucli.:N!tis arrange-
ments those benefits had been really suggested, before
the matter came under the trig LI iry of the Beard. 'flie

You have doubtless heard a great deal about the in-
vasion of Spain and Portugal. Mora than 240,000
French troops are now in these countries ; and, in the
en: irony of Madrid, 50,000, to seize upon the capital
in case of necessity. After having nominated the
Prince of Asturias King, Bonaparte persuaded him
to make a journey to Bayonne, against the inclina-
nation of the people, who were so disgusted in the
towns through which lie passed, as to stop his coach,
and particularly in Victoria, where they cut the har-
ness, and took the mules from it, leaving him sitting
in the coach ; but in consequence of the intreaties of
the Spaniards and the French, by whom he was ac-
companied, he was allowed to proceed upon a solemn
promise that he would speedily return. The whole
of his subjects, and particularly the inhabitants of
Madrid, (where there has been a great riot) are cla-
morous for his return.

.
We are assured by many persons of respectability,
who have just arrived from Madrid, that from 8 to
10,000 French have been killed,and also a vast number
of Spaniards, in the late riot. The French General and
the Duke dcl Infanta, President of the Consejo, suc-
ceeded, with great difficulty, in restoring order, prin-
cipally through their assurances to the people, that the
new King was immediately to return from Bayonne.
The people have specified a short term, within which
they desire the return of the King, and have pro-
claimed their resolution that unless he returns within
that period, the French soldiers shall forfeit their
lives. The return is looked for with universal anxiety.

RIOTS IN LANCASHIRE.

We yesterday received aocounts from /Amid:estir
indicating the appearance of something like tumult
at Stockport, on Monday last ; but as the letters
stated, that at 10 o'clock at night all was again quiet,
we forbore to mention the circumstance, in the hope
that we might this day be able to state that the alarm
had entirely subsided. We are sorry to state, that
by the accounts which have reached us this morning,
it appears that the same evil had extended to Man-
chester on Tuesday, which however passed over with:
out any actual mischief ; but on Wednesday the ope-
rative weavers in that place and the neighbourhood
assembled, to the number of 10,000, and were not dis-
persed till the Riot Act was read, and two people shot
and several wounded, by the Military called in to asist
in restoring order.
The rejection of the Weavers Bill, in the House
of Commons, is assigned as the cause of this tumult,
and it is possible ignorant people may attribute to this
evils which have a very different origin. But the fact
is, trade has for some time been so dull, that there is
not full employment for the people, and they are in
a state of real distress.

This distress has also been aggravated by an evil
not easy to be remedied—fur the work that still re-
mains to be performed, the man4acturers, in conse-
quence of the greater demand for employment, are
charged with paying prices inadequate to the support
of the labourers, who assert that with all their indus-
try they cannot earn more than nine shillings a week,
when working from 16 to 18 hours a day.
We sincerely hope that the misguided people who
have had recourse to such imprudent and dangerous
measures, will pursue a very different line of conduct.
Their situation is indeed distressing, but violence
will aggravate, instead of removing the distress.
—On the other hand, we cannot but express a hope
that speedy measures will be adopted to alleviate the
miseries of the famishing weavers and their families.
This is an imperious duty due from the community to
every distressed class of citizens, and should be spee-
dily administered.

" MANCHESTER, MAY 24.

" The mischief we have for some time been apprehensive of, I
am sorry to say, is fast approaching. We have this day appear-
ances of very serious rioting and commotions among our working
weavers, in consequence of their present calamitous situation,
many hundreds being out of employment, and the wages of those
that are employed being very low, while, at the same time, oat-
meal and other provisions have lately advanced in price. At Stuck-
port and Bolton there is still greater cause of alarm ; the rioting
there having been already so serious, that application has been
made for assistance from the military quartered here, which,
however, has been refused, as in all likelihood we shall to-morrow
or nest day have occasion for every man ourselves."

JOHN STIRLING, Esq. in the Chair,
There was produced to the Meeting a Copy of. the Report of
the Committee of the House of Commons, appointed on the DU-
tilletion of Sugar and Molasses, Sec. also a statement of the rapid
advance iu the price of Oats and Barley in this market and in
Ireland; and the Meeting having taken the same into considera-
tion, agreed to the following Resolutions :
RESOLVED
That the AgiiCtiltund and Manufacturing Interests are mu-
tuelly dependent upon each other ; and, while it is the obvious po-
licy of. the Community to afford every encouragement to Agricul-
ture, it is, on the other hand, neeeilary, that the people should IR
ascertained of an adequate supply of fec.4.
That it appears from the Report of the f.'..onimittee of the House
of Commons, now produced, that the cpasilttiption considerably
. exceeds the grow tit %if Grain In this Kingdom, in years of ordinary
Crops.
1 -
Tat in the present situation of our political relations with other
powers, no adequate supply by importation can he relied on, in
aid of this deficiency.
That it is therefore evident, that the deficiency can aloe be
nr..die up by a diminution of the ordinary consumption.
That the quantity cif, Crain consumed in the Distinerie, of
I Great 'Britain, Would, if applied to the use of the people, ;lord the
I supply of a considerable part of that deficiency, formerly banished
Iby importatinn.
'1113., this Meeting do entirely aßpritsce of the precautionary
mi,:viire of prohibiting the use of Crain In Distillation, for a limited
time, as recommended by the Con indttee of the blouse of Com-
mons,

That the measure pi-closed by the said Committee, of impower.
ing the King in Council, in case of a change of circumstances, to
ao at the susmnsion, and allow the Distilleries to carry on
their trade in the accustomed manner, appears bath politic and

It i; a circumstance neithei!hoilourable to our taste, no to our
nationid feeling, that an hundred years have elapsed since the
death of Dryden (cne of the greatest names in English Poetry),
without having furnished a Complete Edition of his V4lts. In
the earlier part of the last Century, it is possible that the govral
and 'ulibounded admiration of Pope, and the school of Poetry
which he foundO, diverted the Nblic attentionit-cm a writer
inferior in taste, though esccliing him in genius—deficient in cor-
rectness, though far superior in energy of thought and diction.—
But a:, .t islorig since the r: blic have looked hack with a favour-
able eye on the works of the Ancient and powerful poets of the
sevenii.enth century, it is precut-fled that a Complete Edition of
Dryth.n's Writings, comps. _bending his original Works of every
description, must now be considered as filling up the disgraceful
blank in the ti nature of England.
The Teat in this publication is given accurately from the b st
editior.s. Thp Notes and Illustrations arc such as have been dic-
tated by the Editor's deep sense of the importance of the task.

On the Local Militia Bill, we would humbly sug-
gest, that it would be a great improvement if one
fifth part of the whole number were discharged at the
end of each year, and replaced by a new levy. By
this means, at the end of five years, we should have
in the kingdom five times the number of men instruc-
ted in the use of arms which we can have from the
Bill in its present form This improvement in the
Bill would also remove much of the dislike which
many men, before they make the experiment, enter-
tain against a military life ; for at the end of five
years from the first operation of the Act, the men
would only have the prospect of one month's absence
from their usual avocations—And in a period, not
very remote, every man in the whole kingdom will
have been properly trained, and be fit to be called
i upon in any emergency.

Yesterday Government received dispatches from
Admiral Sir JMIm SAUMAREZ, dated on board the
VICTORY, off Gottenburgh, and announcing the safe
arrival there of the Expedition under his command,
which lately sailed from the Nore and Yarmouth. On
the return of Colonel MURRAY, who was sent to make
some arrangements with the King of SWEDEN, the
whole naval and military force were to proceed for
their object, which is known to he the conquest of
Norway.
The squadron under the command of Capt. HAL-
LOWELL, consisting of the TIORE, of 80 guns, EDGAR,
of 74, TRIUMPH of 74, MINOTAUR of 74, was at an-
chor off the Isle of Walcheren, on the 16th instant,
watching the motions of the enemy. The Dutch line
of battle ships which had been at Flushing, were, it
' was understood, removed up to Antwerp, and there
dismantled. In the Roads there were only two fri-
bates and tbsee brigs.
