TO THE CLERGY.

Good Men of the Reverend Class of the Clergy—
! have perceived with pleasure, and have sufficiently
underritood to estimate the peace and unity which
has shewn itself during this assemblage of the States
of the Kingdom.
"This unity, this sympathy in sentitnen‘ so seldom
perceived in numerous_ assemblies, hai chiefly pro,
ceededTrom the proofs of patriotism and warm 'art-
tachnient which have been given by all the gitates of
the Kingdom. May your hearts, therefore, receive
the most lively recompense in the consciousness of.
having contributed your efforts to a good purpose.
On your return your parishes, and to those places
where the care of souls is reposed in you, endeavour
to impress the commandments of CHRIST on every
heart, and be never weary of spreading the benevo-
lent light of this doctrine. Recommend to your
prayers the King, our native country, and my son."
'TO THE ESTATE OF BURGHERS.
" Good Men of the Worthy Class of Citizens,
64 Commerce, trade and national industry, are the.
chief supports of the prosperity of a country. The
attention which the King has shewn to their increase
may render you assured that no unnecessary bin—
drances shall be laid in the way of your commercial
speculations.
" His Majesty hopes that the estate of the Burghers
will second his endeavours for the support of the ge-
neral credit, and the continuance of its prosperity.
" The King has with pleasure observed the unity
which swayed in your councils, when it was the ques-
tion to raise money IT the unavoidable exigencies of
the state. T feel a real, gratification in imparting to
you this proof of his satisfactioe.
TO THE ESTATE OF THE PEASANTRY.
0-Worthy Swedes, •
" The love you have shewn towards your country,
and the late proofs you have given of your attach-
Ment to his perion and to your country, would, if it
were possible, increase the sentiments of regard fur
yOu with which I have been impresied ever since my
first meeting you. Continue to render Sweden con-
spicuous by your valour and your virtues.. May the
populace in other countries attain such deserved re.
Bard as your country gives to you:
46 The King nourishes art unlimited confidence in
your sentiments towards him, and will never neglect
to call upon the assistance of your estate. He will
always regard you as a support of his throne, and you
may always account him as the first defender of your
rights and privileges. Should the critical circuit-
starves in which Europe is pliced, loan on your chil-
dren:to defend our religion, ma. rights, and our laws ;
I will go with them, participate in their toils, endea-
sour to relieve their necessities, and so long as danger
threatens, be to them as a father. Carry back to your
liibtunions that spirit of union *bleb has accompanied
your Steps in this Diet a and again iMpress on those
you left at home, that the happiness of the people
consists in a close unieu with the Regent, and in obe-
to'ihe lavis of the kingeloiti."

The Akre have been led into. rather a ludicrous
fro:MI the French Ba&tin stating that Om-
*air had teceived a wound in the shoulder from a
Biscayait! .The word in French is a synonime, and
2ho signifies a rifle or rifle bullet, or, as some will
have it, a small piece of ordnance like a howitzer, only
mounted. it takes its name from its being first used
in the province of Biscay, as Bayonet from Bayonne,
Howitzer from the inventor Howaz—as we say
asvotellfrorn Colonel SIIRAPNELL, who first introdu-
.ced this destructive missile into our service.

KCIITINCFMM; SBPZEMBER 9.

Monday morning the peaceable inhabitants of this
place were alarmed by the tumultous assemblage of
a considerable number of persons, ire various parts of
the town, more particularly in Turncalf-alley,-and
the Meadow Platts. The principal cause .of, their
meeting was the conduct of the bakers, who were, of
course, the object of their rage, and whose windows
now bear; pretty ample testimony of the spirit 'and
activity of the assailants for scarcely.a single baker
or dealer in flour has escaped without suffering sortie
degree of injury, either in person or property. In
the course of Monday night, their attention- seems to
have taken another direction, fof a far M-house, not
in the very immediate vicinity of Nottioghain, be
longing to.trir.. Alfiertnin BATES, was broken into,
and a musket and bhinderbuss taken therefrom ;—as
was also a honse'belcinging to Mr. Alory, one of the
Keepers of 'Thorne; Wood Chases, whose fire-arms
they also took ; et the former they tirade free with
some articles' of fiiinitare, and all the eatables they
could find, destroyink what they hacLno opportunity
of using.. Yesterday morning the same scene wail
• again eihibited, and an attack was made upon the'
dwelling and
,warehouses of Mr. Acton, wheti
' it was supposed a considerable quantity of corn we:
; deposited ..but here the Magistrates; at the bead o?
a party of intisari.ands some of the West Kent
litia, put a stop to their proCeerlings, but not before
' some Windoivs 'were brokeniand some other trifling
mischief doite.. Small parties of military were, in
the course of yesterday, stationed in the houses of
the principal bakers ; and the mob finding, through
thi activity of the cifil power, that littlembre could
be done in the town, directed their course to some of
the heighbintring villages, where.theirrage was also
vented against bakers. About-four o'clock in the
afternOn;three young Men were brought to prison,
:Under an escort Of cavalry, from the village of Len-
; ton. The Magistrates made known to the people,
by the Circulation of hand-bills, their determination
to ripeehtind and bring to punishment all persons
aiding or abetting the rioters, or otherivise coucerned
with them. The alarm had not subsided late in the
evening, as considerable tumult existed in various
parts. The disturbance is supposed to have origi-
nated from the expectation of the people that a con-
siderable reduction in the price of flour would have
taken place, in consequence of a fall in the price of
bread{ corn in Saturday's market. This Morning all
it quiet.
