pi itna.fircfe case, that the ordinary course of justice
was interrupted. It was, therefore, time for the House
to interfere, and see from what source this interrup-
tion.proceeded.
Lord COMPTON.said, it was uncandid to accuse
Ministers of arguillg upon partial statements. The
• yruth,was, they were bound to believe the Reports
- of the Magistrates, who were Public Functionaries,
and to presume diem correct, until they were shewn
to be false. He added, that the Bar of _this House
• .was not the proper place to try conflicting opinions.
• Mr. V. BLAKE spoke in favour of the Address;
and concluded by observing, that the Opposition had,
to their own disgrace and ruin, thrown themselves
into the hands of a party, called the Radicals, whose
labours tended solely to the subversion of the Con-
stitution—(Leughter, and cries of Question, pcstion).
• The SPEAK-ER then put the question upon re-
ceiving the Report on the Address, which was agreed
to without a division.
The Address to be presented to the Prince Regent
by the whole House; and the Members of the Privy
Council who were Members of that House, were re-
quested to communicate with the Prince Regent, and
learn from his Royal Highness when it would be con-
venient for him to receive it.
• • Lord CASTLEREAGH suggested, that it would
be convenient for the House to meet at two o'clock
to-morrow (this day), for the purpose of carrying up
the Address.—Agreed to.

. On a question from Lord ALructaP to Lord CAS-
TLEREAGH, in the House of Commons last night, to
kno•n . !leiter the latter intended to move that the
Pape, hei ore the House should be referred to a Com-
ith power to send for Persons, Papers, and
Recut Js, and generally to investigate the subject ?
Lord CASTLEREAGH stated, that it was not the in-
tention of Government to refer the Papers to a Com-
mittee ; but, that the measures to be submitted would
rest on the notoriety of the circumstances connected
with the internal state of the Country, and on the
information contained in the Papers on the Toile—
', The information contained in Me Papers"! !!

What information? The information of A. B.;
8.C.; C. D. &c. Who are they ? What are they?
There is no real information in the Papers excepting
only the paragraph to which we alluded in our last,'
which says, of date Ist July When the People'
cre OPPRESSED WITH HUNGER, we do not
wonder at their giving ear to any doctrines which
they are told will redress their grievances." This
statement does cantain most lamentable informa-
tion! This is real evidence, fer it is signed by J. Sit-
xsrka, It. WRIGHT, W. MARMOT, C. W. ET/M.-
670 N, and J. Noaais, who, we doubt not, would con-
firm the same upon oath, if called before a Committee
cf the House. Ilut who would assert upon oath that
" one of the Manchester Magistrates was trampled
t:;)on by the mob?"—Not one. 11'hen this is esta-
hfished upon legal evidence, we will give it full be-
lief. Till then, no man who loves and seeks truth,
will give it the slightest degree of credit.

On the Ist of July, more than six weeks before the
Manchester Meeting, it was known that the People
were OPPRESSED with hunger! Where? At
Kamschatka, or Nova Zembla? No—but in Eng-
land! surrounded with barn-yards and granaries full,
of corn. Was any thing then done to lessen the op-
pression-.-to mitigate the evil ? No, no, nol Is any
thing now doing? Will Bills of restraint and coercion
serve as substitutes for bread ?
We are, it is allowed on all hands, in a state of

six to eight thousand Colliers and Reformers, who
paraded the town in every direction, preceded by six
different bands of music, and accompanied by a num-
ber of flags, Searing various inscriptions. The alarm
at one time was so great, that many of the inhabi-
tants closed their shops; but I am happy to say, that
these unwelcome visitors did not commit any mis-
chief. They retired soon after seven o'clock, in ye-
guiar order, tea abreast, to return to their respec-
tive homes.

The colliers were mostly those who hare been
discharged from the different pits in this neighbour-
_

hood, by the flusters, who refuse to accede to their
demand of a rise of wages, and have expressed their
determination to break up the Union existing among
the workmen ; that is, the Masters' Union and Work-

mons' Union are at issue. In the mean time the Pub-
lic at large are sufferers by these' squabbles; coals
arc becoming scarce, and have already experienced a
rise in price—to the benefit of the owners. The ad-
,vance required by the poor men is so extremely tri-
vial, that it could scarcely be felt by either their em-
ployers or the Public ; in fact, not at all by the fot-
mer, as they would charge the consumer: but there
seems a determined obstina*cy not to concede any
thing to the workmen ; and thus the public peace is
endangered, by the turning out of so many thousands
of able-bodied men, rendered desperate by v►a6t and
neglect.

" Such is the present alarming state of this place,
and all the extensive district around, that no person,
any way decently attired, or, possessing the least pro-
perty, dare venture a mile from home, without being
armed ; and not a night passes *ithout the perpe-
tration of robberies in every direction. A foreigner,
seeing the number of bills that are continually pla-
carded on the walls of this and the neighbouring
towns, would be apt to conclude, that we are a den
of thieves!

The paragraphs that have lately appeared, in
several of the Ultra Papers, stating the revival of
trade, at this place, Manchester, &c. are all a tissue
of falsehoods. Business was never known to be
worse ; and the distress of the poor weavers and
cloth-workers is great, beyond all former precedent;
and will, necessarily, be much aggravated as the win-
ter advances.

a The Infantry Barracks, in Long Balk-lane, near
this town, are now completed, and the whole of the
6th Regiment are expected to march in on Saturday,
to take possession of them."

We mentioned yesterday the accounts which had
been received by the Leeward Island Mail, of the ar-
rival of another portion of General Ditvenzufs Le-
gion at Margarine, under the command of Colonels
MEADE and AYLNIERb amounting (as stated) to about
1,000 men. They were said to have experienced a
most cordial reception from their fellow-country-
men, who had preceded them, as welt as from the
inhabitants of the Island. If the following statement,
however, be correct, which appears in The Dublin
Journal, received this morning, thesefellow-count7-
men who preceded them, were in a situation very dif-
ferent from that of giving a cordial reception to any
body, and least of all to countrymen, whom a kin-
dred regard could not but incline them to warn off
a shore, on which they—the pioneers of the Expedi-
tion—bad experienced nothing but ingratitude, in-
sult, and cruelty:
" The first division of General Dzyzaztris arma-
ment has been totally broken up and destroyed. The
facts of this unfortunate affair, as far as we can learn
from various letters, and from the statements of the
Officers who have arrived in Dublin, after unparal-
leled hardships, are nearly as follows:
" About the sth of July, the ship William sailed
from Liverpool, with thirty-two officers, and two
hundred men, under the command of Mr. AnrnosT
L'ESTRANGE [this Major or Colonel VERT/LAMM
was a cabinet-maker in Dublin, and never having
been in the Army, was totally ignorant of even the
lowest duties of a military manj as Major; his con-
duct, according to report, was cruel and tyrannical,
during the voyage; when cff Madeira, he proposed
to destroy the Commissions granted by Dzynazzr4,
under the pretence, that they were issued without any
authority from the Venezuelan Government. When
the vessel at length; arrived, and anchored in As-
sumption Bay, Juan Griego, General ENGLISH came
on board, and after sonic conversation with this
L'ESTRANGE, they both went on shore. L'ESTRANOZ
shortly after returned, and proposed to the Officers
to. give up their commissions, when they would re-
ceive new ones from General Errortsn—but they air
gave a decided negative. to this proposition,-
I:ESTRANGE joined ENOI#ISH under the rank of Co-
lonel, and brought over the men. The Officers were
then left to shift for themselves. The humaniast

Nlatgaritta presented a most wretched aspect. The
armament which had sailed from this small Island,
under Below and Exoustt, was successful in the
first intance, and had captured Barcelona; but it
was entirely defeated before Cumana, and a few only
returned. About 1000 women had fallen into the,
hands of the Soaniards, and they were sent to Mar-
garitta—hlrribie to relate r without their ears and
fingers. The shocking spectacle appalled our young
soldiers, and while subsistence was Confined to ra-
tions of salted fish, the only food to be procured,
they must deem themselves fortunate in having
escaped from the scene of misery."

A Flanders Mail has brought us, this forenoon,
Brussels Papers to the 24th of November. Their
contents have been anticipated by previous arrivals
from other parts.

The Paris rapers of Sunday, Monday, and Tues-
day, arrived last night, and those of Wednesday this
forenoon.

The Klee has issued an Ordonnance, appointing
the Duke Di PRASLIN, Counts CUL:JOINT Di RIS,
DIDIILAY D'AOEER, FABRIC DE L'AUDS, GiSSENDI.
CASA-BIANCA SiGUR, and YALRNCI, Members of
the Chamber Of Peers, and permitting them to take
their seats immediately, even before complying with
the provisions of the Ordonnance of the 19th of An-
ent 1815, relative to the establishment of hereditary
ifFjorats. It is, however, declared in the Ordonnance,
that those must be complied with, in order to render
the dignity of Peer of France hereditary in the fa.
Imilies of those who are thus called to the Chamber
of Peers.

Oa Sunday, after Mass, the Kiwo gave an au-
dience to Baron PASQUIER, the new Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, and M. Roy, the new Finance Minister,
both of whom took the usual oaths of office. Baron
PORTAL transacts the business of the War Depart-
ment, until the arrival of the Marquis de Layotra-
MAIIIOIII%O from London.—The Independant alleges
that the Marquis has made known his determination
of not accepting the appointment.
The opening of the two Chambers will positively.
take place on Monday. The Keeper of the Seals,-it
is said, has drawn up three Projects of Laws, to be
submitted to the Chambers, soon after the com-
mencement of the Session. The, object of the first,
is to improve the system of Trial by jury ; the second
proposes some alterations in the forms and regulations
of arrest and imprisonment, with a view to the greater
security of the liberty of the subject; and the third
relates to the responsibility of the subordinate Agents
of Authority.
The repo, t is revived, that all the French Exiles
will be permitted to return home, with the exception
of the Regicides. General DELAIORDR, one of the
proscrits under .he Law of the 12th afJanuary, 1816,
arrived in Paris on Saturday. On. Monday the Duke
of ANGOULEME announced to Colonel Gaoncuy that
his father, General Count GROUCHY, was compre-
hended in the Amnesty pronounced by Article Ist of
the same Law.

The List Accounts from Spain state, that the
epidemy has almost ceased at Cadiz. On the 2d,
there were no more than 3793 sick.

MR. COBBETT.

The flercuks arrived at Liverpool on Sunday last,
on beard of which was Mr. Conner?. As some
fears were entertained that the fever was on board,
Colmar?* landing was not permitted till Tuesday.
An immense number of people met him on the beach,
and cheered him to the Inn, which is a considerable
distance from the Dock. Some partial hisses were
heard. Nest morning he underwent the usual exa-
mination at the Custom-house, which occupied a
considerable time, as he has brought over with him
a deal of heavy luggage. The 6ones•ef Pains were
deposited in a wooden box, and lodged in the Cus-
tom-house• yard. When the box was opened, Mr.
Conan observed—" There, Gentlemen, are the
mortal remains of the immortal Thomas Painc."-1
The skull was shewn, and the coffin-plate .accom•
panied it, but all that could be deciphered was-1
" --- Pain, -- ISO Aged 74 TOM."
CossarT was extremely atten.ive to the box, and
looked rather serious during the exhibition. In the
evening, accompanied I y Mr. EGERTON SMITH, he
visited several of his friends and well wisher:. There
are now two vessels in the Mersey, on board of one
of which (from Baltimore), it is feared, the yellow
fever prevails : but every precaution is taken to pre-
vent communication with the land. COBIRTT looks

in good health, and is dressed like one of our better
sort o 1 country farmers.
The Reformers having announced their intention
of giving him a public welcome, Mr. CORBETT has
addressed to them the following Letter
" Liverpool, November IA
