Jonn's Dmr.--Holiday at the Bank.

The efforts of the enemies of the QUEEN; or, which-
has now become synonimpus, of- the friends of Mi-
nisters, to procure what they call "Loyal" Addresses,
have only tended to rouse more effectually the ener-
gies of this loyal Empire to bring into public expres-
sitn the genuine sentiments of .the great majority of
the People, respecting the misdoings of those very
Ministers whom the Ultras wished to serve by their

103 Ur effusions. But in no part of the Empire has
the, conduct of Ministers had a more powerful effect
in rousing the People from stupor and lethargy than
in Scotland. Those, and those only, who are ac-
quainted with the actual state to which Scotland had
been sunk by. the Corporation-tyranny of a parcelof
time-serving, self-elected lick-spittles, can form a pro-
per estimate of the spirit now manifestid by-the for
ly bullied and timid population of North Britain.
great and deep indeed must have been the feelings
excited by the attempts to destroy her MAJESTY, be-
fore they could have callei forth, on the North side
Of the Tweed, any expression of public indignation
against Ministers. Tl:e Tories in that part of the
Irtngdom are filled with wrath, and—what is worse—
with fear and trembling. They did not believe it
possible, that any measure of insult and contempt to
their fellow-citizens durst even be felt as an injury ;
but that their fellow••citizens should presume to meet
publicly—to complain—to address the QCEEN!-
a):e, to address that individual whom Ministers had
charged with abominable crimes!—to pray the KING
to dismiss his Ministers!!—their patrons—the men
• whom they delighted to honour!—this was, indeed,
a daring beyond what these men could have believed
within the reach of possibility. So far as relates to
Scotland, these proceedings are singular phenomena,
nothing short of a prodigy.

" Anxious as we have been to see that Tory faction, which
has so long thriven by its vampire practices, we really commi-
serate the Edinburgh Tories, when we look at the wretched
and disgraceful plight to which they have reduce/ themselves.
To be honourably beaten, even in their last strong hold, would
have been nothing ; but to sink at once—for why should we
mince the matter ?—to the level of blackguards ; to vent their
spleen in calling names, forging letters and speeches, and resort-
ing to all sorts of ribaldry, scurrility, anti malicious abuse—to
send written and verbal threats to tradesmen and shopkeepers,
for the purpose of keeping them back from a Meeting called by
the greatest talent and highest character in the country—to seek
even a semblance of strength from unwilling and constrained
affrages—to shrink from nothing, in short, however mean or
base, if it promise only to gratify a paltry and unmanly revenge
—is to court degradation, to merit infamy !—Looking at their
Fair their ' Have at 'ems.' their ' Raising the Winds,'
their Political Courtships,' their ' Flay-bills,' their ' Addresses,'
&c. we cannot doubt that there are many of these Tories, who,
not content with Irani-fin practices, with misleading, inflaming,
and treason-stirring, would willingly become assassins of persons
es well as of characters, if their cowardice would allow them to
feel as sate in using the stiletto as they think themselves in de_
stroying under the double disguise of law and patriotism. But
having dropped the vizor which Connetly concealed their dark
and loathsome features, they arc at present more to be pitied
than abhorred. The single Tory, who at the meeting of last
Saturday dashed forward to the front of the gall em with
fatuous smile of self-complacency on his lips, to utter same
frenzied amid beastly insults on the WLigs, and all who sur-
rounded him, may be considered as exhibiting, in a condensed
form, the present fr:.atic spirit of-his patty. Nothing but mad-
ness, indeed, could have spoken of that Meeting in the manner.
in which even the least furious of the Tory journals has done.
Every one who was present must have seen that the old
Theatre in Coatis Rooms was filled with intelligent and well-
dressed people—with persons, in short, who, from character and
property, and friends and connections, had a deep stake in the
coutar."—(The See:imam.)

A Jamaica Mail arrived this forenoon.—An earth-
quake of unusual duration was felt at the Island of
Antigua on the 17th of October, at eight o'clock
in the evening, and a second shock was felt on the
following morning.
His Majesty's ship PARTTIIAN had brought to
Kingston accounts of the Revolution at Hayti, from
svbich we are enabled to add the following particulars:
After the suicide of CIIRISTOPIIII, the few troops
who remained with him took possession of the Palace
of Sans Souci, which they script and plundered of
every valuable article; they refused to bury CHRIS-
Torne, and his body was left exposed in the read.
On the 17th October, the revolt having become ge-
neral among the troops and the people, eight of
CIIRISTOPIIE'S Officers were killeA at Cape Henry.
Among them were the PRINCE ROYAL, Prince JOA-
CHIM, and Baron BATTIE. The PRINCE ROYAL and,
Baron BATTLE begged for life; but Prince JOACHIM
said, that while he had a man left he would fight for
the KING. On the 22d of October, BoYER was pro-
claimed President of I fayti, at Cape Henry. On the
26th of October he entered the city, the name of
which he changed into Cape Hayti. The Constitur
tion was immediately proclaimed, the Officers sworn

to support it, and the city restored to complete tran-
quillity. The wife and remaining children of Curtis-
. TOpiti were at Hayti, under the protection of BOYER.
The troops behaved extremely well after the ar-
rival of BoYER, and everything was conducted with
perfect order. The Officers were quartered on the
citizens; the men in the barracks and public places.
The ripple wets highly elated at the change, and
