is an Extract of her Journal :—(' On 21st February,
in lat. 19. 53. long. 75. 37. discovered a brig, appa.
unify a cruizer, standing on a wind towards us under
easy sail. Hoisted our colours, which were answered
by an American ensign and pendant. At a quarter
of an hour alter the above vessel bore up and ran
alongside us, hailed, and ordered us to lay too, that
he would semi a boat on board. Immediately after
the American colours were hauled down, and a blue
and white horizontal flag hoisted, with broad pendant
of the same at the main. An Officer came on board
in an American naval uniform, and inserted in his
book our ship's name, whence we came, where
bound, &c. He demanded to see the ship's papers,
which I complied with ; and that it was the Com-
mander's request that I should go on board the brig,
which I refused. I was informed the brig was a
Buenos Ayres cruizer, last from the United States,
commanded by C. Taytasn, and that she Islands of
Cuba and Porto Rico were under strict blockade.—
The above vessel appeared quite new, and a very
fast sailor. Observed the Commander to give his
orders in English."

The holiness of the Leith Custom-house has revived
considerably of late, which indicates a corresponding
improvement in the trade of the port. On Tuesday 1
last no fewer than forty foreign entries were made at
the Custom-house.
The following melancholy event is related in the
American Journals s—An English East lodiaman,
which had been trading on the west coast of Su
macre, landed her crew in order to cut spars. While
in shore they were attacked by the na:ives,when,the
Captain was mortally wounded, and the Surgeon and
liectted Mate killed. The remainder fortunately
escaped to the ship.

FLIRT-HER PAR.TICULARS.

" MANCHESTER, MARtH ta
se For matte time past, the better informed thus of
society here has had reason to look with a■ et.. of
jealousy upon the state of morbid quiescence
which the public mind had apparently sunk, since the
prompt suppression Of the last meet'ng by the
tart'. Rumour and conjecture have been active ; hut
ko)eltdge of the real st4t# of the case was strictly
confined to those holding official situations. I refer
you so the declaration of tl►e Magistrates in our Paper
of this day, tor the citcu►nstances which have oc-

curled, so far as they are offiii illy disclosed. I feel '
assured that you, Sir, will be little prepared for such
a discovery, and that it will affect you deeply ; and
your feelings will be consonant to those of every one
with whom I have this day conversed. By this time
(boar o'clock) the alarm has, in a great degree, sub-
tided ; but every one is struck with astonishment at
the diabulical nature of the conspiracy, and at :he
secrecy with which it has been conducted. The
eleven Deputies, mentioned in the Declaration as
halting been apprehendtd, were assembled in a small
public-house on Ardwich-green, about one mile from
the Exchange ; seven :More, in a cellar in Church-
street, were apprehended under the same circumstan-
ces, and ore now in custody.
" AU these people had their papers about them,
but whether or not those papers were important
have not learned, as the examinatioos have been pri.
vine. Our active Deputy Constable, Nadia, has just
now passed my window, escorted by a party of the
lit Dragoont, baying in a coach, five prisoners. whom
he bad taken up in Middleton, where similar men.
sores have been contemplated. One of them is Bam-
ford, the Deputy from Middleton to London at the
late assembly of those worthies. Nadin observes,
that so active and clever were the signals made from
hill to hill, at Middleton, during his blunt visit. that
neither he nor his party could comprehend them.
" I will now endeavour to give you an account of
the plot which has occasioned so much temporary
contusion. The signal for commencement was a
rocket, which was to have ascended from near St.
Peter's Church. The factories in the outskirts were
to have been destroyed by means of rockets, which
were to be ejected from a long brawn instrument,
which was formed to introduce them at the windows.
These circumstances would nattirally attract the civil
and military force towards the outskirts, and the
mob was then to have attacked the bank%, and ulti-
mately the New Bailey and Barracks. 'llliis plot has
extensive ramifications; Nottingham, Birmingham,
Derby, and other considerable towns were to be at-
tacked at the same time ; I wish the police of those
towns may be as successfully active as oars has been.
It is supposed that the eleven Deputies came from all
parts of the country, and that they are men of some
importance in their own way.
" 1 am glad to tell you that this town is now most
perfectly quiet; every precaution has been taken;
the military force hasbeen very considerably increased;
we have already Yt►W special constables, and the
Watch and Ward Act will be actoldapon to-night."

At a Meeting of the Ironmaittrs at Dudley, on

quence of the very great demand for iron, and its

we hail it with joy and confidence.
The German Papers confirm the intelligence, that
the French Tariff of the Costrons has been finally
adopted in tile same form in which it was proposed
by the Government. The manufactuters of France
have succeeded in their applications, that the retro.,
spective effect given to the law of the 16 It of last
April should he maintained in full force, as against the
importation of woven goods introduced during the in-
vasions; and the importing merchantshavebeen unable
to obtain the slighest mitigation of this arrangement.
It other States persist in refusing to admit wovntrodr
or in loading them with high duties, it is high time
that we should prevent their importing the unarms
goods, tenon yarns spun in this country. While such
folly is nursed by other States, a counteracting sys-
tem is rendered indispensible by our own Govern-
ment for the protection of our own manufactures.
The 18th Sitting of the Diet at Frankfurt was
somewhat remarkable. The Hessian Minister had
presented a violent Note from hi. S..vereign, the
Elector, respecting a Resolution taken by the Dirt in
the Bth Sitting, upon a representation of Mr. HOU.
MAN, of Marburg, requesting to be protected Irons
ejection from ht{ property.
Tat. Elector says, the Diet hid no right to inter-
fere between him add one of his su'sjtcti, is it s'-ould
be a Mediator and not a Judge ; that this resolution
cannot be approved by the Sovereigns their Mon.
ters ; that lie will act as he thinks just and rea-
sonable, and declines the interference of the Diet
in an affair of internal Government. _ _

The President of the Diet laying the whole affair
before the Assembly, it came to an energetic resolu-
tion on the subject—" Amidst the numerous cons.
plaints received from the Electorate of Hesse of the
Sovereign, the Diet remembering its high destination,
and the regulation and object of the Act of Confede-
ration will never suffer itself to be deterred by any
partial judgment of A single Member of the Confede-
ration, and within the bounds assigned to it, which it
had not forgotten or ever would forget, from taking
the part of oppressed subjects,and convincing them that
Germany had been delivered from a foreign yoke by the
blood of its sous, and their dominions restored to lawful
Sovereigns expressly for the purpose of placing every
where a legal order of things in the stead (4 arbi-
trary power. The AssenAily is conErmed in its pur-
pose by the expressions of the Elector's Declaration,
and as it has u. .t in its aggregate to receive instructions
from any single Member, it finds no grounds in the
reproaches made to it to change ;s resolution respect-
ing Horrumf, adopted in the Eighth Sitting this year,
it theretore expressly abides by it ; and in case the
farther remonstrance therein expressly reserved to
said HOFFMAN, should be presented. it will resolve
what is proper in dais as well as in other cases."—lt
is supposed that this affair wall be attended with seri-
ous consequences.
