The following is an extract from a private letter
from New York, of the 10th December:—" The
co:ifident apinion is, that the Government of the
-,ll:ed States will acknowledge the independence of
America, and that Mr. CLAY will take an
cal ly opportunity of bringing the subject before Con-
gress. This opinion is in unison with the PRESIDENT'S
-,.,eech, in which he recognizes the success of the
TAlliets in Chili, Venezuela, &c. &c. According to
recent advices from Scuth America, the merchants
cl Lima had begun to abandon that Capital, from
appiehension of the immediate invasion of the
co; nt'y by the army of Chili, acting in concert with
the fli.ct of Lord COCHRANE."

LEEDS, JANUARY 13.

The alarm created here on Wednesday, and the
marching of the Military to Ileckmondwicke and
Deu shu, y (as reported to execute warrants sent down
by the Secretary of State), originated in the arrest of
some men belonging to the Clothiers Union, charged
with a conspiracy to raise their wages, and who had
bees sentenced by the Magistrates to three months
imprisonment in York Castle. Many hundreds of
their fellow-workmen assembled, with bands of music.
&c. and preceded the coach in which they were con-
veyed, to a considerable distance ; but there was not
the slightest attempt at a rescue, which had been so
much dreaded : the Military, therefore, as I stated in
a former letter, returned to their quarters, their
services not having been at all called for.
Our Cloth Halls, to-day, were unusually slack of
business : there was a very large display of woollen
goods of every description, but no purchasers ; and,
en the whole, matters never wore a worc gloomy as-
pect in the market.
The Reformers in this district have actually began
to collect for Mr. Cosnnrr's £sooo—and many of
them have given sums of from Is. to 10s. Collections
have been made at all the Union Rooms; and if the
business be taken up with equal spirit at other places,
there is no doubt but three times 13000 will be
raised in a very short time. The women are quite
enthusiastic in the cause of Mr. COB/JETT, and sub-
Iscribe liberally.

The Reformers, in order to clear their characters
from the aspersions thrown out against them, have

•uspected of being a Government spy), and yester-
e.ty the Grand Jury, at the Wakefield Quarter Seg.
seas, found a true bill against him, for Sedition, in
el speech delivered by him, at the Halifax Meeting for
Reform, in October last. This is altogether a novel
proceeding—an indictment for Sedition, unsanctioned
by Government or the Crown Lawyers !!

THE ICING.

The bodily indisposition with which the Ktxo was
afflicted, about two months since, arose from a violent
cold which his MAJESTY then caught, supposed to
be occasioned by the severe north and north-east
winds, which then blew remarkably strong: T.
guard against its recurrence, an additional stove has
been put np in one of his rooms, and other means
taken to render the whole suit of apartments, which
are much eiposed to the north winds, warmer. The
apartments appropriated to the occupation of the
KING, and his immediate and personal attendants,
are on the north side of Windsor Castle, which, fiom
its height, is unavoidably much exposed to the weather.
These apartments overlook the Terrace, to which there
is a communication. The KING has occasionally
walked there, properly accompanied, although This
has been but very seldom, and the part is so secluded,
that he could not be observed by any person. No
one, indeed, is allowed to walk on the Terrace, to
prevent which, centinels are stationed at the ends.

The KING has always been a very hearty eater ;
his appetite continues very good. He is in general
sufficiently composed to order his dinner. He is per-
sonally attended by Mr. BUTT, senior, his principal
Page, who prepares his dinner. The KING, some
time since, had his dinner hour changed from one
o'clock to half-past one; and by the advice of the
Doctors it has been altered an hour later, to half-
past two, being a more equal division of the day.
The Menthe's of the Council frequently stop to see
his MAJESTY dine, which occasions the Council to
sit longer than when the KING dined earlier.
The Royal Pages are in attendance upon his MA-
JESTY, in addition to those persons appointed and se-
lected by the Doctors.
