Copy of a letter from a young Gentleman on board
of the United States' ship Hornet, oaf lionavista, to lois
father in the city of New York, dated Aug. 26, IS20:
—Tile brig Alexander (a prize to the Hornet) being
about to return to the United States, I take advantage '
of the opportunity thereby presented of informing you
that I am well, and have had a very pleasant voyage. t '
I wrote to you last from Santa Cruz, (Teneritfe) by the
ship Hibernia, which, I presume, has ere this arrived
in New York. From Santa erns, we proceeded direct
to the roast of Africa, and arrived at Sierra Leone,
after passing the Cape de Verd Islands. The first sight
of the too n on approaching the land, together with the
scenery about it, forms one of the fittest views that can
be imagined. The town itself, which is built and laid
out in the European style, and the shipping in the
harbour, which gives it the character and appearance
of a place of trade, are singularly contrasted by the
loose huts of the native villages, and the small ca-
noes of the negroes, giving at one glance, a view of
the comp.orati ve situations of a man, in a state tat*civi-
lization and barbarism. From Sierra Leone, we re-
turned to the Cape de Verd Islands, and arrived at
Form Proyo, in the Island of St. Jago, a few days
ago. Our stay there was short, and I had no oopporio.
nity of seeing much of the town. It is very neil de-
fended, and so strict are the regulations of the poet,
that all vessels are obliged to enter, ;tool leave it
in the day time. Whenever any attempt is malls to
break tlorootglo this established law, the consequence
is generally being fired toloon. The British sloop of
war Myrmidon c:mae to anchor off the port white we
lay there during the night, and a tiring was instantly.
'toed from the forts upon her, she was, however,
at too great a distance to be affected by it. From
Porto Prayo, came to the Isle of May, and then to this
place, where we took possession of the vessel by which
I send this, on the confession of the crew that they
were engaged in the slave trade.
I have not been nu shore here yet, consequently can
only judge of the place by its appearance from the ship,
, in which it is the most sterile and barren of all we
have seen on the voyage. Where we are bound fr
this, is its yet uncertain ; it is generally sapposed on
hoard, that we will visit some of the ports in the
West-Indies, before returning to the Unity(' States;
I expect to be at home, however, about the latter part
of October.

TO THE ifOPILITT, CENTRT, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS,
ANI) INHIHITAXTE OF THE COI STY Or MIRK&
Gentlemen,—Though 1 have not the honour of any
political connexion with von, and though I am known
to you only as a resident and acting Magistrate of the
County of Berke; yet, having occasionally met many of
you at county meetings, and have always found on such
occasions a great concurrence of opinion amongst the
majority of you on'political subjects, I take the liberty
of now addressing- you.
It is not luny days since I took upon myself to send
to several gentlemen resident in different parts of the
county, copies of a proposed requisition to the Sheriff to
villa County Meeting, for the purpose of Addressing
the King on the treatment which the Queen was expe-
riencing at the hands of his Ministers, and of passing
such It esolittimu as the state of the country might seem
to require; hot the event of this day, and the scene I
have just witnessed in Parliament, ao, in my opinion,
impeiatively demand that sonic further steps should itn-
inediateli he taken by all who value the stability of the
Throne, sodlothe tranqnillity of rise cowry.
It having been stated by the Ministers, in the early
part of the proceedings against the Queen, that no pro-
vision could be made for her Majesty while those pro-
creglings were pending ; and it having been lately sig-,
tithed to her on the same authority, that neither could
provision he made for her, nor residence appropriated,
until Parliament met for the despatch of business ; it
does seem a little extraordinary that the Parliament be-
ing at that time actually sitting, and the two houses be-
ing to meet, and the call of the Ilouse of Commons hay-
ing been Asniered fur to-olay, that tinder these circum-
stances a prorogation should take place. But the case
is infinitely agp,ravateil by this fact, that the. Queen had
prepared a communication, and hail directed her Law
(officers to deliver it to the Mouse of Commons—that
Lord Castlereagh was apprised of their intention—and
that the sitting of the Commission fur proroguing the
Parliament was so timid as to preclude Mr. Destines
front presentiog it, thought he rose at the very Ant pos-
sible opportunity for that purpose.
This, however; is not all. The prorogation took
place; but quite contrary to the initial (I believe, the in-
variable) ;tractive, no communication of any sort Was
made to the two !looses on the state of affitirs, and the
political relations tof the country, internal or extevnal ;
thongli most indubitably the events which have occur-
red, both at home and abroad, since the co 11111 l eueettsent
of the Session, have been of sufficient importance to red
quire that the King's Ministers should have advised his
Majesty to state to hie Parliament his opinion tre
I *n4ler these circumstances, and considering Itep°re-
sent agitated stale of the public mind, I cannot but cuss-
tritsplate the prorogation of the Parliameut till the 231
of January as a measure pregnant with the greatest
danger to the State, to the trammillity of the people,
and thence to their liberties, and to the permanency of
the civil and religions establishments of the country.
I am therefore disposed to recommend that a requisition
should be presented to the Sheriff, to call a public meet-
ing of the County u soon as possible, for the purpose of
praying the King to re-assemble the Parliament without
loss of time; and I take this the most expeditious mode
of making known to you my opinion, that, in case any
of von should agree with me, requisitions may be ion-
ineaiately prepared and aignatnres procured to them,
which' reomisitions may be either forwarded to -the
Sheriff direct, or, if sent to me, shall when collected,
be transmitted without delay.-1 have the honour to be,
Gentlemen, your faithful humble Servant.

ROGERS PUT TO REST AT (AST.
NEW LONDON, lit r. 11.
The Superior Court iu the County of New London,
closed its session ott Saturday last.

A Nairn correspondent desires to state, that on re-
ceiving the news there of the proceedings against the
Queen being discontinued, a magnificent bonfire, cm-
sisting of tar-barrels and other combustibles, *Ter,.
erected, and a flag displayed, surrounded. by torches,
and " Non noi riroid," written on it in capitals. Also
that a great concourse of paopla attearlisd; and the
usual vociferation' of course ensued of "Long lie!
Queen Caroline," &c.
I.mA-rite:ow, Nov. 17.—Mhe proceedings against
the Queen hate excited touch interest, and their pr.,-
!frets have been particularly watched by a great pr.,-
portion of the inhabitants of this burgh. When the a:-
count arrived of the fate of the Bill of Pains and P•!-
nalties, joy was visible in almost every counteuaace.
ilit the evening of the satne day a number whose !...e!-
ings were must acute illuminated their houses, and on
Thursday evening the greater part of the inhabit.Ln.s
being desirous of showing their attachment to her Ma-
-1 'te agreed to illuminate their houses, and the town
~ • -
and neighbournood was lutist brilliantly illuminated,
with the exception of a few. In smne of the windows
there were appropriate inscriptions and representation•,
there was a large bon-fire lighted at the west-etti 01
the town, and slimmer was displayed, on which was
inscribed " the Qncen," and the names of her Majesty's
Counsel, who deserve a grateful nation's thanks ; an I
a windier of the inhabitants paraded the streets with
the banner and music, and then returned to the boa-
fire, where there was a hogshead of porter, and there
thank the healtits of her Majesty and all her Coa.isel,
and several of the independent Peers, and the evenin4
passed over witlo. At any irregularity or distarbanze
taking place.
Friday night, there was a second illnusination in
Paisley in h.mor of the Queen, Which was very gene-
ral, and we are glad to !mitt Vri that occasion a
.A. 4
very great degree of pato'ws ed.
" The village of Os-titian% in 'East Lothian,"' says
our correspondent in that quarter, " was brilliantly il-
luminated on the 17th in honour of her Majesty's
triumph. At each side of the cross there was a cart
of coals burning ; there the well-wishers of her Mih
jesty assembled and drank her Majesty's health, with
vbs.! thins wise: also the health, of her Majesty's
Counsel—Lord Erskine—Earl Grey, with three times
three; at intervals there were Tonics of uswicetry, and
great cheering. The whole of the inhabitants illumi-
nated excepting a few dependents. Peace and har
owns reigned during the night. -
l II EDI N FIURGH, Nov. 2 I .—The village of Portobello :vas
illuminated in honour of the Queen's acquittal, except
the house of a single individual, who paid for his ob-
stinacy by losing half a dozen panes of glass. The
special constables paraded the streets until 10 o'cl‘wk.

PAESCNT, JUIICE CHAP!! IX.
Several civil and criminal cases were heard midis-
posed of. itut one which excited most attention, was
a prosecution against Ammi Rogers. This was an in-
formation tiled by the States' Attorney against Rogers;
charging him with the crime of sedstetiou„ and at-
tempts of a most wicked and corrupt character to rover
his villainy. The Court was commenced on Wednes-
day of last week. Many witnesses were introduced
on the part of the State, who testified to a series of
facts, tending to shew his guilt ; which it would be
improper to state in this place. Rogers also produced
sundry witnesses to shew his innocence ; but generally
instead of exculpating him, they rather tended to ag-
gravate hi. crime. The case was ably argued 'by-Mr.
Attorney Lanman and Col. Halsey of the State, and
Goddard and Cleveland for-the prisoner. His honor
in a brief manner charged the Jury, leaving them en-
tirely at liberty to infer his guilt or innocence from the
evidence adduced in Court, carefully avoiding any
comment which might shew the bias of his own mind.
In a short time the Jary returned a verdict of Unilty.
His honor, in pronouncing judgment, declared the
information being for a high crime and misdemeanor,
would justify him in sentencing him to Newgate; but
as the law did not absulutely demand this punishment,
and taking into consideration the state of his family,
having a slaughter and two sons, he was disposed to
exercise to him lenity.—be was accordingly adjudged
to suffer two years imprisonment in the county gaol
at Norwich ; and on Saturday last he was accordingly
committed to the penitentiary. We have avoided going
into detail at this time, as preparations are making to
furnish a full account of this trial, which will soon be
before the public.
The above Rogers was a Clergymen, but about six-
teen years since, being found guilty of an immoral
act, was degraded from the Ministry. Since that
time he has continued preaching in various places,
and by a series of impositions upon the public, to
bring discredit upon the profession. Although the
offence which was commit•ed had not been previously
made public, the denomination to which he belonged
declared him unworthy of the clerical character. Ile
has not ceased to vilify the ecclesiastical authority
that pronounced hits, guilty, and uuder the cry of
persecution to impose upon the credulity of men well
disposed to the interests of religion. The public will
now be satisfied that he was deserving of erclesiasti•
cal censure and this event as evidence of the neces-
sity of caution in giving encouragement or coun-
tenance to men as• ministers of the gospel, whose cha-
racters are not well known.—(U.rzeitc.)
