PETERSBURGII, AUGUST s.

We learn that his Majesty the Emperor will leave
this city in the beginning of September, to go to
A ix.' a-tlapelle. In the course cf Lhe same month,
her Majesty, the Empress Maria, will go to Weimar,
Stuttgard, and Brussels, to visit her daughter, the
Grand Duchess of Weimar, the Queen of-Wortem-,
burgh, and the Princess of Orange.
The Rurick, Captain Kotzebue, now lies in the
Neva, before the hotel of Count Romanzow.
The weather is still warm : we do not remember
such a fine summer.
STOCKHOLM, AUGUST ta.
His Majesty and the Crown Prince arrived at Chris-
tiana on the I lth, in good health. Every where on
the journey his Majesty was received by his subjects
with enthusiasm. On his arrival at Christiana, the city
was finely illuminated.
We learn that his Majesty intends to leave Chris-
tiana, on the 22d, in order to arrive at Drontheim by
the end of this month.
SWITZERLAND, AUGUST i 4.
The Deputies of Berne and Lucerne, Messrs. Rut-
timann and Fischer, have left Rome, after taking
leave of his Holiness. Their mission has led to no
result. It is affirmed, that they will be shortly fol-
lowed by the new Nuncio for Switzerland, Mr. Macsi,
who lately filled the idea of Internuncio at Lisbon.
It seems that the Diet will take up this affair before
it separates ; and they already speak of a declaration
which is to be made to the Roman Court ; ac-
cording to which, the Envoys of that Court cannot
exercise in Switzerland any ecclesiastical jurisdiction,
but will always be received there with the respect and
consideration which Members of the Diplomatic Body
have a right to expect from a friendly Power.

This morning Consols opened at 76i, in conse-
quence of a number of persons of the Jewish per-
suasion rushing into the Market and taking an im-
mense quantity of Stock. However, the rise lasted
only a short time, for at twelve o'clock they had
again fallen to 751, being a decline of one per cent.
and the Market appeared very heavy at that price.

We are greatly concerned to find, by our accounts
received this morning from Manchester, which we
subjoin, that the peace and quiet of that neighbour-
hood seem as far off as ever. We stated yesterday that
the workmen had on Wednesday morning attacked
Mr. Gala's premises, known by the name of An-
coat's Factory, when, being fired on from within, some
of them were wounded—one mortally. We now

learn, that in the evening they assembled again, is
great numbers, evidently bent on mischief, when it
was found impossible to disperse them till several
were dangerously wounded. Thursday they were
again assembled in greatnumbers, and prsvented from
spreading ruin around them only by the activity of
the military ; and to add to the evils of the crisis,
the Weavers of the neighbouring towns have also
turned out in great numbers, and repaired in bodies
to Manchester, with music and flags, demanding an
increase of wages. The following are.the accounts
which have reached us this morning :
" MANCHESTER, SEPTEIIT4R S, 10 P.M.

" I am scrry to inform you, that notwithstanding
our long-disturbed state in this place and neighbour•
hood, we have not yet any prospect of a speedy re-
turn to a state of tranquillity ; on the contrary, mat-
ters hourly assume a more threatening and alarming
aspect. With the exception of the factory of Messrs.
BENJAMIN NAvtoo and Co. all the other Master
Spinners refuse to give the advance required by their
workmen ; and the latter, remaiding obstinate, ran%
to -resume their labour at the old Prices, and daily,
parade in thousands before the diffetent factories.
Hitherto they had conducted themselves tolerably
peaceable, and had chiefir confined their ebullitions
of resentment to the hissing and hooting of such in-
dividuals in-
dividuals as they conceived inimical to their interests.
At length, as had been too certainly foreboded, they
have proceeded to acts of outrage and violence, and
Illeoat has keen spin. Yesterday morning they assem-
bled in a body of several thousands opposite the fat•',
tory and dwelling-house of Mr. Gavr,, knoym. by
the name of Ancoat's factory, and instantly pro-
ceeded to demolish the windows and all the exterior
parts, within the reach of stones and such missiles.
Several persons having been posted inside the factory
with firearms, they immediately fired among the
mob. One man instantly fell, mortally wounded ;
another received a bullet through the fleshy part ofj
his arm ; and a third was shot through the leg- in a
Idangerous manner. A party of the 95th Foot and,
18th Light Dragoons, speedily a/ rived f:om the Bar-
racks, and, aided by the civil power, they soon
cleated the streets, and tranquillity seemed for a time
restored. At night, however, they again assembled
in considerable numbers, with the evident intention
of avenging theniselves for the proceedings of the
morning ; and, evincing such a clispesition to turbu-
lenee, it was found impossible to make them disperse.
without again having recourse to extremities. Several
shots were fired, and six persons were wounded, some
of them dangerously ; but on the most diligent in-
quiry, I cannot learn that any lives were loot on this
occasion. Tile military and civil power were on duty
during the night, and no further mischief occurred.

" This day they again assembled in considerable
numbers, and proceeded to break the windows of se-
veral factories; but the military being quickly at their
-heels in every direction; they were prevented from
doing further mischief.
_ _

Pa add to the general confusion, the weavers of
this aiid the r.eighbouring
.koWns,of Bolton, Bury,
Ashton, Stockport, &c. to the Timber of 15,000, have
now. timed out. Last night and to-day they have
been parading different parts of the town with music
end Big% the latter bearing various inscriptions: the
most prominent of which were—An advance of seven
shillings in the pound, or nothing! They are still as-
sembled in large bodies, and I much fear that before
the night closes more mischief will be done.
The Magistrates, Peace Officers, and Military,
have an irksome and arduous duty to perform; and
it is barely doing justice to say, that hitherto they
have conducted themselves with a moderation, and
humanity that does them great credit.
Reckoning the spinners, weavers, collins, and
others, who have struck for an advance of wages, in
this town and within the circuit of ten or' eleven
miles, I am certain that I do not exaggerate when I
state their numbers at upwards of fifty thousand !

Allarnh3rgh Mail has arrived with rapers t 6 the
Seth of August. •
The most important part of their contents 'ma
account of the reception of the new King of Eiwzurs
by his Norwegian subjects. The Storthing having
signified its desire to wait upon his I%fansrz to con-
gratuhte him on his arrival, a deputation was ad-
mitted to the Royal presence, at the head of which
rat the President CHRIsTIE, who addressed his MA-
JESTY in the following terms :
4 The Representatives of the Kingdom of Norway enjoy at
this maim, a happiness which has been' the constant object of
nun wishes; that of appearing before the King of the United
Kagdom, act wekoming him on his entrance into the Capital
of Nergay.

" Ile Stonhing would have wished to waft upon your Ma-
jesty by a Deputation on the frontiers of the Kingdom, but it ,
felt the necessity of accelerating by uninterrupted application,
tie buiinus still in arrear, and to keep all the Members together
u wawa of the repast:don of the Taxes which is now before

" The Storthing therefore, convinced that your Majesty
va,:d approve its conduct under these circumstances, have beta
heed to give up the fulfilment of so agreeable a duty.
" When the Sovereign Kings formerly visited Norway, the
fiat:: were always filled with lively joy. How much greater
are tablet must their joy now be, as they see in your Majesty
a Lag reigning by the law, to whom they are chiefly indebted
hither liberty; and to whom they look with confidence as the
matt talus defender of their Independence. And what bright
hi.ea an excited by the sight of his Royal Highness the Crown
No, rho, in the bloom of youth, proceeds with manly seri-
ceettitcvants his high vocation.

hiPicees ei the conntry, present themselves to year Majesty

HIS MAJESTY'S ANSWER.
" i receive with utisfartion the assurance of the sentiments
itz even: they are the reward of the love which I feel for
itt Norwegian people.
" I have allowed the prolongation of your deliberations far
hrizd the appointed time, that you might obtain a thorough

of the difficulties by which Governments arc often im-
6ain their measures, without say tenon to doubt the purity

Exchange on London, Aug. 20th-33. 4.-33. 7.
• A Dutch Mail arrived hut night, from the Papers
brought by which we have, given some extracts in
another part of our Paper.

We have received to-day a series of Kingston
(Upper Canada) Gazettes, to the 14th of July. Our
Readers were some time since informed of the -pro-
ceedings of a Provincial Convention which met at
York on the 6th of July, when they resolved, instead
of their original plan of sending Commissioners di-
rectly to England to state their grievances, to appoint
a deputation to wait on the.new Governor, General
MAITLAND, immediately on his arrival, with two
Addresses, one to himself, and another for him to
forward to the PRINCE REGENT. A Meeting of the
" Upper Branch Convention" has since been held at
Ancaster, on the 20th of July, at which several mea-
sures were adopted in furtherance of the general design.
—The following are among the Resolutions passed,
and we sincerely trust, that the firm, yet temperate
spirit which they manifest, will have its proper effect
in inclining the Provincial Authorities, as well as the
Government at home, to grant the petitioners every
reasonable and necessary satisfaction :

" Resolved—That this Convention assembled for the de-
clared specific purpose of sending home a Commission to Eng-
land, with an Address to his Royal Highness the Prince Re-
gent, on the state of public affairs in this Province ; sees good
reasons for departing from the prescribed course of proceeding—
or„, at least, for delaying the execution of the plan of procedure
first intended—Because, the appointment of the Duke of Rich.
mond to be Governor in Chief of the Caned as, has generated
bars whisk could have sprung from the appointment of no other
individual whatever—Because, the people of this• Province are
now so effectually roused to a just sense of the bad consequences
of nial-admlnistratlon„and weak legislative proceedings, that
when Parliament again meets, there is every hope, that, nar-
rowly watched by the public eye, its every motion will be guided
and determined by better principles and more manly resolutions
—that, in short, the virtue of Parliament will be braced and
upheld by tke virtue of the people.
" Resolved—That, under all circumstances, Members of this
Convention conceived, they will best maintain their own honour
and the interest of their constituents, by appointing a Depute.
tion to wait on Sir P. Maitland, as soon as he arrives in this
Province, to proceed, if deemed expedient, to meet him at Que.
bec, to entreat a Conference with hint, and to present him with the
printed principles and proceedings of this Cezveaticn, and of :ts
supporters.

" Resolved—That this Deputation shall bear two Petitions—
one to his Royal Highness the Prince Re;ent, expressive of the
loyalty and dutiful consideration of this Convention to the Royal
dignity, and calling the Royal attention to the conduct of affairs
to the land-granting department of Upper Canada, as well.= to
the mune which his Royal Highness possesses, of relieving in-
deretli4 the grievances of claimants for sufferings by war, and of
dsilida men, expecting promised lands—which Petition, the De-
puties shill beg of Sir P. Maitland to send home, and have
preheated to the Prince, at his first public Levee, by such per-
son agar Perqrine ahall think proper to confide in.
Resolved..-That the other petition shall be addressed to Sir
Peregrine Maitland himself, as Lieutenant-Governor of Upper
Canada, praying Mtn to call Parliament togeth:r as speedily as
*dbl., that enquiry into the state of the Province may be
instituted."

HISTORICAL ACCURACY.—A recent German tra-
veller in England has published his tour, in which he
states, that the English Physicians alway:, wear black,
and sometimes swords; that all the Opposition eat
boiled beef; and that a Tory dinner-table is distin•
guished by little rolls, while the Whigs shew their
sturdiness by uncouth lunches of bread !
THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—WE have much
pleasure in noticing by an Advertisement in our Pa-
per of this day the spirit with which that excellent
miscellany the New Monthly Magazine proceeds, and
it is but an act of justice towards towards the Con-
ductors to remark, that this Miscellany has fully
justified the high claims of its projectors, who an-
nounced their intention of rendering it—" a Theatre
for discussions on every subject that can interest the
human mind ; an asylum fcr the fugitive produc-
tions of Genius and Fancy ; a Register of every No-
velty in the Arts, Sciences, and Letters ; in a word, a
complete Record and Chronicle of the Times, equally
acceptable to the Scholar and the Philosopher, to the
Linn of leisure and. the man of business."—To friends
and relations abroad we know of no publication that
can prove so acceptable, and doubt not that the com-
mencement of a new Volume will induce many per-
sons to become Subscribers to a Miscellany at once
so cheap and valuable.

By private letters received by the Nereide, Capt.
Nut., from Trinidad, which contain accounts from
Angustura to the latter end of July, we learn that
the state of the Patriot cause is truly distressing in
that quarter. They are totally destitute of money,
clothing, or provisions; and the Officers that left this
country with the prospect of great future welfare, are
now without one penny, or any means of returning.
The troops are very discontented at their situation,
and hundreds are daily deserting and joining the flag
of the Spaniards. The vessels which went from
Europe with merchandize for the service of the Pa-
triotic Army, with strong recommendations from
parties in this country, can get neither money nor
produce in return.

POPULATION.—We find by some statistical tables
in the Washington City Gazette, that the state of New
York has increased in population greatly beyond any
other State in the American Union ; and from having
been in numbers thefifih in 1790, she is at this time
the first. In the year 1790, this State possessed
340,120 inhabitants.—ln 1800, 586,050.—1 n 1810,
959,049.

Tuesday an old Roman coin was purchased in tile
neighbourhood of Penrith, from a farmer, who had

fect.
Two heads of battle-axes have also been lately'
dug up near the Roman way upon the fell, of rather
peculiar construction. They are composed of copper
and brass, and very entire, and in shape somewhat
resembling the head of the tomahawk used by the
American savages.

the perforiners. The gas-light in front has been con=
siderably improved. By the removal of the chande4
Heti on each side of the stage, and the substitution of
lamps at the back of the based for the chandeliers in
front, the audience as relieved from the glare of '
Halt which was sb much complained of duria, the
last- season. The great chandelier suspended i'rera
the'centre of the house now emits a mild steady light,
which is wholly free from any offensive smell or dis.
agreeable heat, in consequence of the improved sys-
tem of ventilation. That immense blaze of light,
which foreigners especially objected to in the au,-
thence part of our theatres, is totally removed in the
new arrangement of Covent Garden. Those who go
to a theatre to see the audience may comp!r.in of this
arrangement, but we venture to think that those who
go to enjoy the performance will be highly gratified
br the.fliange. There were several new scenes exhi-
bated, and among'them, we particularly admired the
drop scene with that of the cartoons and the garden.
A number of genteel company attended to witness this
exhibition, which continued open until eleven. orclock2
The Theatre opens on Monday next, and, we are
happy to observe, with a premise of the greatest ex=
cellence iu every department of the histrionic art: •

PUGILISM EXTRAOILDLIAIST:—..teMeLd3T a carman, of giganti4
strength and stature, was punished with a severe drubbing, by
a young gentleman in those respects greatly his inferior. The
gentleman was turning out of Chaneery-isne into Fleet-street, in
a gig drawn by a very spirited horse. The carman was paseiq
at the time, and purposely drove the dray so as rot only to in-
iure the Fig, but to endanger the safety of the driver. The
young gentleman remonstrated with him on his conduct, :.:•4
was replied to by the most brutal abuse, accompanied wi:h a
stroke of the whip. Ile had soon, howcvei, cause to repent ef
his ruffianly conduct, for the gentleman, dismcnntlnE frcrn
vehiile, and giving his horse in charge to a by-stander,
gave his unweildy opponent so severe a drubbing, that he was
glad to cry out for quarter, having been completely deprived of
his sight, and his countenance in other respects be:ring ample
testimony to the punishment he had so deservedly received fcr
his brutal conduct. He was placed on his own dray, and the
charge of conducting his horses was undertaken by another
drayman, who was passing at the time. The gentleman drove
off amidst the cheers of the crowd, not having received the
slightest apparent injury In the rencootre.
