Address by the General Assembly of the States of
Hanover to the PRINCE REGENT, on the criminAl at•
tack made on his ROYAL HIGHNESS on the 28th cal
January. On the 9th instant thanks were given in
all the churches of Hanover on his happy escape,

from the ramparts

" MOST ILLUSTRIOUS PIIINCi Pala NT-..-3440;1* GRACIOUS
PRINCE AND SJVEItCIIOI,

" The intelligence of the wicket a.tatk made trpon your
Royal Highness's sacred j.ei son, an your return from Pat &linen%
on the 28th of last which has been received by the As-
sembly of the faithful States of the Kingdom, on the opening of
their Sittings this day, has filled them with affright and horror.
Their indignation of this wicked act, is the greater in proportion
Ito the justice of your Royal flighnes.'s claims to the love and
I the veneration of all the nations subject to your sceptre, with
whose welfare you were occupied at the very moment when the
deed was perpetrated.
We beseech your Royal Highness to accept, with your usual
benevolence front us, the representation of your loyal German
people, the expression of the profound sorrow with which each
of your faithful subjects is penetrated on this occasion, and to be
graciously convinced that there is not one of us v.iho would not
be ready at all times to sacrifice his life for the welfare of your
Royal Highness, our beloved Regent, and of your august Royal
House.

" With profound emotion we praise the PROVIDENCE of
HEAVRN, which in this critical moment visibly protected the life
of your Royal High:teas, and address our ardent prayers to the
Throne of the ALIAIGNIr with the most devout wishes that he
may be pleased farther to take under his gracious protection your
Royal Highness, our most beloved Regent, to defend you against
all the dangers that threaten your life or well •being, avid to pro.
long to the latest period of human expectation your benefice'',
Government for the barpincss of your people. We recommend
to your Royal Highness's fiatber favour and paternal regard,
ourselves and all the faithful objects of your German Hereditary
Dominion., being, with the most profound submission, &d."

Several Petitions for Parl'amentary Reform, and
some against the Bill for suspending the Habeas Ccrftus
'Act, were last night presented to the House of Com-
mons. Petitions against the Bill would be very nu-
merous were time allowed ; but it was read a second
time, and this night will have its thin reading.
There have been some more arrests at Glasgow and
the vicinity. Tuesday morning last, an operative
weaver and his son were taken into custody, when an
attempt was made by a crowd of idle people to pre:
vent their being taken to prison, and it was found
necessary to support the Civil Officers by a small
party of the 42d Regiment. Stones were thrown at
them by the populace, and some shots were fired by
the military. Some of the Officers received perso-
nal injury from the stones, and one boy was struck
by a ball.
By the details given of this iffair and of the pre-
vious arrests, in the Glasgow Paper of Tuesday, it
appears that few know any thing about the persons
arrested, except that they are charged with seditious
practices. They ate all of the class there called
Tradesmen ( Anglice Worimea), and, if we may judge
by the voluntary surrender of one of them, they are,
like the enthusiast Preston, persuaded that their object
was lawful and laudable. The following account is
copied from a Glasgow Paper :
On Saturday night twenty.fiee yersons charged with trea-
sonable practices, were taken into custody here. The greater
part of them were eels din a puldic-house in Old Wynd, about
eleven o'clock. They were holding a Meeting at r time, but
what the nature of it was, we have not been able to learn. _

" The Meeting was cosnposed entirely of tradesmen, with the
exception of a writer's clerk. Several others, among whom was
a teacher, in Calton; were seized in their own houses.

" 1 he greater pan of the night was spent in the business; and.
the Sheriff, with the Procurator Fiscal and subordinate Officers,
carried the warrant into execution. Bailies Leckie and Madsen,
Messrs. Reddie and Thomson, Town Clerks ; and Mr. Simon,
Borough Procurator Fiscal, waited at the jail to receive the
orlsoners.
" Another man surrendered himself prisoner yesterday morn-
ing, and was lodged In jail.
" The seizures were effected in the most prompt and peaceable
manner. We understand that the families of the prisoners, many
of whom are 19 indlEent circumstances, are to be supported by
the Commi!!ce of the Ft:bile Subscriptions.

" This morning, at six o'clock, a man and his son, , ht
Anderston, charged with the same crime, were seized in their
own house by a party of Peace Officers; but, as a crowd col.
lected and menaced them, they were unable to leave the house
until a small party of the 42J arrived to afford them protection.
—The prisoners readily obeyed the commands of the Officers ;
but the crowd, by tbroyging stones and bricks, obstructed their
progress, and it was thought necessary to discharge several shots.
Nn person, so far as we have heard, was injured by the balls
but one boy. One of the Police Officers bad a severe contusion
from a stone, and some of his associates were slightly hurt.—
'film of the most forward of the assailants were taken into cue.
Cody and brought to town along with the patty, which arrive.
about eleven o'clock.”--(Ctisow CAreiskle, nudes, Fe&. 20.

Boston Papers to the :30:1) January arrived this
forenoon. The only article they contain worthy of
notice, is a letter from New Orleans of • the 19,h D..-
cember, stating that, by the latest accounts from the
Southern Patriots, they, were expected soon to be
masters of Pensacola ; but they were not without fears
for the effect ref I'mm:to's treason. Some Patriots
who were to have joined MINA, were thereby put ia
jeopardy, and MINA himself had found it necessary
to alter his original plan.
New York Papers have also reached England to the
30th ult. Their contents are rather more important
.hart usual.

Captain PRENTIA of the schorner Susan, who ar-
rived at New York from Port-an-Prince, which place
he left on the Ist January, states, that hostilities be.
tween Curitsrorrie and PETION were about to he re•
newed ; that the former was on his march to fort-au-'
Prince, and was within 30 miles of that place ; and
that the latter had dispatched a force of 4,1)00 men to
meet him. It was supposed, that a battle would be
fought on the day on which the Susan sailed.
A riot of a serious nature is represented as havii•g
taken place at Princeton College, in which nearly the
whole of the students participated.- The rioters were
most violent in their proceedings, and the business of
the College was suspended during 86 hours. On order
being restored, the College resumed its functions with
about 80 or 90 students : the•rest were expelled.

adopted by a vote of 138 to 27, and sent to the Se-
nate for its concurrence.

In the Sta:e of New York, a report has been made
by the joint Committee on Manufactures, shewing the
great means which the country possesses bf supplying
all its own wants, under proper encouragement from
the Government. The report concludes, by recom-
