ERFURTH, JAN. 26.

Leipsic fair has just concluded; many commercial
firms in that town have done considerable business
with houses in Lyons. A large quantity of printed
linens and cotton was sold ; many Polish Jews at-
tended it. One of the richest houses at Lyons has
failed, and only been able to pay fifty per cent. to
its creditors. The principal is known by his pro.
bity and activity. His misfortunes are alone owing
to false speculations.

PRESBURGH, JAN. 24.

Positive intelligence from Belgrade informs us, that
on the 21st of December the Servian Council received
from Czerny Georges, who is still at his country-seat
of Topola, orders to send immediately the Comman-
dant Jacob Benadovus, and Simon Markovus, and
the Secretary Grugewitsch, to Bucharest, in quality
of deputies to the Congress ; and these officers set out
the following day for Topola, to receive their final
instructions from the General in Chief. Czerny
Georges was invited by General Kutusow to attend
in person at the Congress, but powerful motives have
induced him not to accept this invitation.

JASSY, JAN. 8.
The reports here are very contradictory. Russia,
according to some, demands Seneth, and, according
to others, Pruth, as a front er. There are other per-
sons who believe the Uraid Scignor will consent to
no cession whatever.

VIENNA, JANUARY 25.

Letters from Turkey positively announce that the
corps under Generals Langeron and Markoff, which
were posted on the tight bank of the Danube, in the
neighbourhood of Rudschuck, have retired to the
left bank of that river.

It is said, that in consequence of a late Convention
between the General in Chit, Count Kutosow, and
the Grand Vizier, the latter will remain, under cer-
tain conditions, masters of Rudschuck. As soon u
the grand question of peace or war shall be decided&
he will be abandoned, with his army, to his fate.
They write from Semlin, under date of the 12th
of January, that more than 40,000 men have already
been collected at Schumla ; they are principally com-
posed of young people, between 17 and 20 years of
age.

the cathedral, and there will be public rejoicings.
A few days ago a Courier from Constantinople
passed,through this city in his way to Lithuania.
The head-quarters of the Saxon army, under the
orders of General Regnier, are at Slonim ; anti those
of the Austrian army, commanded by the Prince of
Schwartzenberg, at Pruzan. •
According to the latest accounts, the Polish army
was at Nieswitz, in the best condition, and animated
by the best spirit. There had been no affair of im-
portance, but the cavalry had skirmishes daily, and
very much annoyed the enemy. On the I3th, there
was an engagement between the Polish cavalry, and
the rearguard of General Bagratision, which lasted
some hours : our cavalry displayed their usual bra-
zery and enthusiasm, and kilted 2000 of the enemy,
among whom was General Gregoriew.
We are informed that a reinforcement of 20,000
Austrian troops has recently aniveil at Tomasow, in
Poland,

CHESTER, JULT S.

That occurrences of a most alarming natnre have
lately taken place in this and some neighbouring
counties cannot be denied —and it is equally certain,
a partial disaffection predominates in particular places.
We have heard names mentioned as the instigators
of mischief, at which probability recoils, and the pa-
triotic heart sickens. We should be fearful, were we
even satisfied of the fact, in giving them to the public.
In a former paper, we adverted to the copious confes-
sion made by Thompson, lately executed here, but
observed, that at a period like the present, it would
not be altogether prudent to publish its contents. A
short time before his sacrifice to the violated laws of
the country, he acknowledged, that a regular organi-
zation t.f disaffected manufacturers had existed some
time in Cheshire, Lancashire, the Northern Counties,
and in Scotland—that there are concealed depots of
arms—and that this confederacy owes its origin tn the in-
trigues of men of exalted rani, but whose names he was
unacquainted with. Those engaged. in this conspiracy
have taken the diabolical oath, which has before ap.
reared in the STAR-with tilt tenor of which Thomp-
son was well acquainted, having been sworn of the
compact. This was not ascertained on bis trial.—
We had nearly omitted mentioning, that the avowed
.object of this infernal association, is to overturn the
Government, and establish on its ruins a Common-
wealth,
similar to that under Oliver Crcmwell
On this disclosure, sin leave the reader to his own re-
flections. Such is the information which has come
to our knowledge nn this most serious and important
subject, which perfectly satisfies us, that the-distresses
of the times, which we have all alike to lament, have
been availed cf for the worst of purposes, and been
made the pretext, by designing and wicked men, for
consolidating treason and an unnatural rebellion. It
is consolotary, notwithstanding, in our being enabled
t to say, that a becoming vigilance is observed both
by the civil and military officers; and we have every
confidence in their exertions for the preservation of
the public peace.—CAeaer Chronicle.

TO THE EDITOR OF FILE Mfg.
•

• Whitehaven, April e 7. I
But—On acceentof the many riots that have re-
cently happened in iiitro. jest places, about the prices
ot provisions and want or employinent, there ran be
no doubt but the enemy will rejoice, and conclude.
that the people ot these kingdoms are disaffected to
the Governihent, and wish tor a change.
. Having travelled much, and conversed with peo-
ple of all ranks, Iw. beg leave (through the me-
diae of your paper) to state my sentiments on the
subject.
As to the system of King, Lords and Commons,
the pe.iple have no objections to it. They seem to
be convinced that it is certainly the very best in Eu-
rope., As to who is the Minister of the day, they
are indiffereat. They care not who rules them, pro-
vided they are not ruled with a rod of iron. It is
not the rights of men they are contending for, it is .
the rig/is of hone:. For lam verily convinced, that
it die produce ot their labour would enable them to
cat and drink, there vroilid not be a more thoughtless
and contented People on earth. Even the unbound-
ed power of the aristocracy gives them no uneasi-
ness, whenever that power is used with moderation,
and for the public. good. But I am sort)! to add,
that complaints abound in many placer,. against the
oppression of powerful individttals, -whose avarice
*far exceeds their overgrown fortunes. Not content
that their lands are double the value they were '2O
years ago, many of them are mean enough to con-
tend for the last shilling of profit that remains in any
branch of trade that their power can reach unto.—
It is an undoubted fact, that in proportion as the ma-
nufacturing interest has declined, that of the landed
interest has risen on its ruins. It is no less certain
that the ordinary and lower classes of people have
borne their privations with unex.irepled patience un-
til they can bear them no longer. The cow has no
more milk to give. It is, tierefore high time for
the aristocracy to step forth and remove the evils
complained of.
Instead of contending about places, pensions, and to
their eternal disgrace, reversions of sinecures, let
them give the public a proof of their patriotism, by
their attention to the real and general interest of
the country. Let all pensions, sinecures, and emolu-
ments of dike, be given up for the prosecution of the
war, :.hick they think so just and necessary, and from
which they have received ,so many benefits. Instead
Of bartering a cargo of colonial produce 'now and
then for another of wine and brandy, let them see
what can bedone with the manufactured goods of our
own c untry. Let those who are in the habit of snak-
ing patriotic speeches in Parliament and at agricul-
tural meetings, I say, let them only reduce their
~.yeeches to practice in their own neighbourhood, and
thus convince the people that th'y are in earnest ;
',and then it will be seen bow soon the people will re-1
turn to their duty. I. am, Sir, youri, &c. sa. a.

!elves to thi ininc;ple of theta', itnci ha 4 not figras-
sed him with this double difficulty, There were few
Offices int'Ondtd to be abolished. It Was only intend-
ed to abolish large Salaries when attached to ineffi-
cient offices. He was really surprised to hear the
offices which-this Bill proposed to abolish, represent-
ed as in some measure the outworks and safeguards
which were necessary to the protection of the Crown.
On the contrary, he tdther regarded them as a mill-
stone appended to the Monarchy, in danger *of wtigh-
ing it to the ground ; because these sinecures were be-
come low, degraded and odious in the estimation of
the people.—(h(iai, hear.)—The recent vote of the
Honte by which the sinecure held by Colonel M'Ma-
hon *ls abolished, had ruined their character in the
eyes of the country. Almost all the arguments of
the Honourable Gentlemen from the Northern part
of the Island, seemed to him to be founded on a mis-
conception. It was astonishing to him that those
Gentlemen, with 41 the acuteness generally attributed
to the natives of that part of the country, should not
have been able to comprehend what his Right Ho-
nourable Friend, however, ( the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer) seemed to comprehend very well indeed, i
namely, the difference between an Office and the Sa-
lary of an Office.—(4 laugh.)
Mr. CANNING strenuously supported the Bill.
Lord CASTLEREAGH opposed the Bill.
The House then divided—For the Bill, 134
Against it, 123--MAJonair AGAINST MINISTERS
ELEVEN.

The other Orders of the Day were then disposed
