VALENCIENNES, OCTOBER 16.

The English Cavalry which was stationed in the
environs of St. Omer's and of Cassel, has arrived be-
tween this city and Cambray, and has joined the
other troops of the same nation.
All the Russian troops encamped near llaubeuge
have been exercising for some days past preparatory
to the grand review and the manoeuvres which will
follow it.

All is here prepared for the reception of the Em-
peror of Russia, the King of Prussia, the Duke of
Wellington, and the numerous suites of Generals and
superior Officers, who are already arriving succes-
sively in this city. The English Officers have been
obliged to give up their lodgings. The arrival of
the Sovereigns is announced for Monday evening. All
the troops will be under arms, and the artillery of
the fortress will fire a salute at the entrance.

It is affirmed that the place will be occupied on
the 10th of November by a French garrison, com-
posed of a regiment of the Royal Guard coming from
Paris, a legion of infantry, and one regiment of ca-
valry. All is preparing with the greatest activity
for the evacuation of the French territory.

We have given in a preceding part some further
Extracts from the American Papers received yester-
day, among which we beg particularly to direct the
attention of our Readers to a Memorial from the
father of Mr. AMBRISTER, the unfortunate young
gentleman who was so wantonly tried and hung along
with Mr. ARBUTHNOT, by the Military Commission
under the orders of GenA•al JACKSON. The docu-
ment is preceded by some observations of •m Ameri-
can Editor, in which he affects to be surprised at the
apathy with which this murder of two British sub-
jects has been regarded by the British Government.
We have reason to believe that our Government have
done all that became them on an occasion so deeply
affecting the national dignity, and that explanations
have been called fur, the want of which is actually
at this moment a bar to several important negocia-
tions, particularly of a commercial nature, which
were in dependence between the two Governments.

New York Papers of a dad• later than the prece-
ding, came to hand at a late hour this forenoon.—
The following are extracts :

The United States frigate Macedonian, Captain
John Downes, is now in our harbour, quite ready
for sea, and waits only a favourable wind to proceed
on her cruize. We understand the Macedonian will
touch at St. Salvador, Rio Janeiro, Buenos Ayres,
and then proceed round Cape Horn into the Pacific
Ocean, to relieve the Ontario, xvhich it is exp&ted
will return to the United States before winter.

us with a proof sheet slip from the office of the T,i-

the following highly interesting extract :

FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
" MANCHESTER, OCTOBER 19.
.In this quarter every thing remains quiet, and
Wed as to the Spinners, it may be asserted that
dry an perfectly satisfied. They work now with as
moth cheerfulness as they ever did, and since the
contest has been terminated, they, in the true English
epirit, bear no malice, but have shewn perfect good
1 their masters and every one else. They
most of treachery of some of their coliec-

_ conin.ittee-men. It is true, as stated by one
your Correspondents, that they received money
. of other classes during the turn-out,
certainly nothing like £3,000! it is very well
the s hole sum received did not reach
during the whole three months. Indeed, how
it be that other workmen should contribute
• to them. when they themselves were obliged
.iient with less cages than the Spinners ?
"These Lave been various statements published

leir weekly earnings to be from 11s. to I6s.

ly wages paid to men spinner, from the Ist 01
auary last to the middle of June, when they turned

inners, upwards of 17s. clear of all charges and

7-ertsson, however, is not doubted—the men have
n'3oTed themselves from this neighbourhood, and
PrAshly from the kingdom.
`As for the Weavers, they have had more just
ts*for complaint than the Spinners. Their wages
