'tztract of a letter (rout Liverpool, October 1

I am happy to Worm you of the safe. arrival back
of the Mercury. Nichols, all well. Arrived this day
the London For Philadelphia. We hamoderate wea-
ther last night ; but this day the gale has commenced
with equal fury and continues to this time, 8 o'clock.
William Dawson, for Demarara, continues out, but
has a pilot on board. lam fearful we shall hear of
many accidents.

Accounts have been received from Valparaiso to the
Ist of May, containing the following:—

TO TUE SIINISTER OF THE MARiNE.

To-day at one o'clock, p. in. anchored the ship
Thais. From the Captain (dike port I have received
the (owing information :
The English ship, Thais, .130 tons, Captain Albert
Robinson is just now anchoring, coming from the coast
of Peru. He brought the news that the best spirit is
said to exist throughout Pent, and that the cry is" Inde-
pendence or death.'"f he Captain also states, that the
frigates Pemba and Vengnara, had left Cenoazul
where they had been for a long time.
Extract of a letter from Boston, Sept. 7:—l have
been informed that a British Indianian bac been spoken
at sea, who informs, that in consequence of the death
of Bonaparte, the port of St. Helena was throe:::
open to American vessels.
Extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince, Ang. S.—
Two daysago the cruizers of this Uoveriintent brought
into port two small vessels filled with desperadoes,
who were fitted out expressly fir capturing an Ame-
rican schooner that sailed from hence lately with
30 or 60,000 dollars on hoard, bound to Philadelphia.
Had these pirates succeeded in their object, it is pro-
bable they would have murdered every person on
board the American schooner. These pirates are
foreigners, principally from New Orleans, amongst
them are nine white men.

PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. severe storm of rain
conunitted considerable injury yesterday afternoon.
in this city and its vicinity. A part of the roof and
side of the upper budge on the Schuylkill were blown
down; a small horse in N. Second-street was also par-
tially demolished, and its occupant, a baker, hurt, but
providentially escaped death. Several sail of boats on
the Delaware above the city were upset ; but we have
not heard that any lives were lost, except four or five
coloured persons. who were drowned near Race-street
wharf, in returning from a camp meeting up the river.
A great number of poplars which ornament the streets
and :19stares of our city were torn up by the roots, and
we fear that much damage has been done in the sur-
rounding country by the storm, than which we have
seldom witnessed a more tremendous one.

A PROCL t'IATION.
Whereas, by an act of- the Congress of the United
States, of the 3d of March, 1915, so-much of the seer:,
rat acts imposing dutim, on the skips scut visivis.
on goods, wares and merchandise iruported into. the
United States, as imposed a discriminating duty on
tonnage between foreign vessels wad vessels of the
United States, and between goods imported into the
United States in foreign vessels, and vessels of the
United States were repealed. so far as the same re-
speeted the produce or manufacture of the nation to
which stieh foreign ship or vessel might belong, such
repeal to take effect in favour of any foreign nation
wholever the President of • the% Unitei States shoold
be satisfied that the discriminating or eountervailiag
duties of such foreign nation, so far as they-operate to
the disadvantage of the United Stater, hare been 'abo-
lished. - •
And whereas satisfactory proof has bees received by
me, through the Charge d'Affaires of the Urnited
States in Sweden, under date of the 30th- of January.
1821.1 that thence forward all discriminating or coun-
tervailing duties in the Kingdom sof Norway. so far
as they operated to the disadvantage of the United
Suites, had been and were abolished.
Now, therefore, I, Jamessillostroe, President of the
United States of•Ameeica, de hereby. declare and

*mint of the excess to which that trade has been carried

In the Meth Atli, we tegrtt toleartt, they have ex-
perienced a wary sudden and . calamitous loss. From
letters abteived *this morning from Aberdeen, we un-
derstand accounts have been brought by the Dorothy,
of

Dundee, arrived there front Davis's straits, stating
the loss in that Pisherk of elered ships, seven of which
belong to Hall.

On Saturday we announced the refusal of the Elton
Bsturr of Southwark to comply with the requisition
to call a Meeting relative to the dismissal of Sir Ro-
SERT WiLsox. On Monday we mentioned the intima.

lion that had been made, in terms of the. late Act of

Parliament, to an acting Magistrate of the district,
stating the intention of the parties whose signature•
were attached to the notice to bold a meeting on Fri-

day next at the Town-hall. The subsequent proceed.
hugs were an application to the LORD MAYOR, whose

jurisdiction extends to that part of Southwark to
which the Town-hall appertains, and whose power an-
percedes the authority of the HIGn BAILIFF, for the
use of the Towtpliall for the purpose stated, at the time
proposed. His Lordship readily complies) with the desires
of the gentlemen who waited upon him, and yesterdays
placard was posted in the Borough, appointing the meet-
ing on Friday next, at the Town-hall. By the terms
of the placard it would appear-to be the object of the
parties who convene the meeting " to take into consi-
deration the propriety of commencing a public sub-
scription to indemnify Sir Boa ERT WiLsox." Not-
withstanding these arrangements, it is intimated by
totue of the Ministerial Journalists, who would gladly
have the people gagged as well as shackled, that it
is not certain that the Meeting will take place. By
the Act of Parliament, say they, passed in the sixtieth
year of his late Majesty, entitled, " an act for the re-
gulating public, and preventing illegal meetings,"

there is a clause in the second section empowering the
Magistrates topostpone for ady time, or adjunrn to any
place, any meeting that may appear to them illegal. It is,
moreover, understood, continue these pretending gen-
tlemen, that advice has been taken by the Magistrates
from the highest Taw authorities; but the result has
nut transpired. There is no doubt there may be Ma-
gistrates %tho will take occasion to consult authorities,
whether of the highest law or not, respecting the steps
they ought to take respecting the meeting proposed.
There is no doubt that if it be not legal to prevent the
meeting being held, every means will be exerted, which
the law does not actually forbid, to embarrass the
' proceedings of the meeting, and to defeat the objects
for which it is to be held. Whether such a consulta•
lion. however, has been held as is pretended,
or whether any uncertainty any where eeists
as to the meeting taking place, we cannot pre-
sume Lo know; but of this we are convinced that the
intimation we have quoted is an artifice to intimidate
or perplex. Grievous as the measure is to which this
intimation refers, and rigorous as is the authority re-
specting public meetings, with which the Magistrates
are invested, we do not find they are empowered to
postpunefrr any time, or adjourn to any place any
meeting they may happen to dislike. In looking into
the secon4l section of the act already mentioned, we
tied it is enacted " That it shall be lawful for the jus-
tice of the peace to whom any such nutlet- at' aforesaid
shall be delivered, to MAIM THE TIMS AND PLACE. OR
EITHER or tux, mentioned in such notice, slid to fix,

for which such meeting is intended to be held. By
the sixth section of the aforesaid act all Magistrates
are empoWered to proceed to the place where such
meetings shall be Bolden, and there do all such acts as
the care may require ; and by the seventh section, in
case any meeting shall be holden in pursuance of a
notice, and such notice shall express or purport that
any matter by law established way be altered os other-
wise than by the .authority of Parliament ; or shall
tend to Weiss the people to hatred or contempt of the

stitution, every such meeting shall be deemed unlaw-

appear se be of an Unlawful kind; bet to snptiaa.
they anther's* the Magistrate, as the Ministerial papeto
say' to postpone the neeetiasifer arty time, or to miter it
to angrrlice, becattse he deems it unkawfal, would be to
enact a childish trifling with a matter which may at
' uuce be altogether suppressed. The power invents'
is the Magistrate is almost absolute, and the exertias
of it under the control of his judgment and discretion
alone. It may net even be in*" power of those who
call a meeting to prevenVoteedings occurting.,
which, to the understandiadvaile Magistrate, may
appear unlawful, and requiring to be suppressed.--
it is in the power of any person, it may be re-
marked, who is a hold . and tweak enemy to
the object for which the meetiug is convened, to
assume such a tone and language as to give * meet,
ing so unlawful character, and to render it obligator
on the Magistrates to caste it to be dispersed. The
Uentletnen who have called the Meeting of thealeetoo,
of Southwark, are aware of the ground en which they
stand, and have exercised a sound discretion in divest-
ing their placard of any terms that might be construe(
to the disadvantage of, the meeting proposed. They
have confined their object to the consideration of the.
propriety of cotninencing a subscription for indem-
nifying Sir ROBERT WILSON for the losses be has sus-
tained ; and we doubt not they will conduct their pro-
etedings with inch circumspection, yet with such
public spirit, as will fully accomplish the impose is
which every generous Englishman will concur.

It was an express provision of the Act of Settle-
ment, " that the King shoulJ not go to his foreign
dominions without the consent of Parliament;' bat as

some thought it would be a humiliation to the Kier I
to ask the consent of Parliament, that came of the
original compact, with the House of Hanover was se.
pealed in the second year after their accession.
Letters dated the 31st of August were received yes.
terday from Odessa. Sufficient time had then elapsed
to allow the determination of the Rnssian Goren:meet,
if intended to be communicated direct froth the Court
to the authorities at Odessa, to be known there ; hot
the same uncertainty still prevailed on the subject*
Favourable prognostics of peace were, however. de-
rived from the entire inactivity of the Russian attar

Seaman Ftsaxce.—The Madrid papers state. that
according to the accounts received by the JEEtII of
Public Credit up to the 3lst of Augurs, the sales of
property in the provinces for the extinetioa of the as-
tional debt amounted to 1002 from monasteries and
other suppressed establishments. The estimated aloe
is 74,569,109 reels, and there have been, emitted
136,507,12 S Teals (or about 1,365,0001. steelier)
Thus the sales have produced about doable their es.

1 (11BRALTAR, Sepr. 10.—It appears by an official
communication from Cadiz, that the existence of the
yellow fever at Port St. Mary's has been formally de-
clared by the physicians at that place.
The Count de Montezuma, says a private letter, the
last descendant of the ansient Emperors of Mexico, has
resolved to aspire openly to the Throne of his ancestors.
He has enrolled at Bordeaux many persons to aid him
iu his enterprise, and many officers of merit quit the
Spanish service to follow the standard of this Pretender.
The latest accounts from Charlestown are of the Ist of
September ; they state, that St. Augustine's was in ra-
ther a sickly state. The Floridas have been divided by
Governor Jackson into two jndicial districts. The one
to include all the country between the Perdido and Si.
waney rivers, and to be called the County of Escambist
the other, comprising all the ceded territory east of the
Suwancy, to be called the County of St. John. The
same ordinance requires the County Courts to confine
)he parties litigant strictly to the merits of their causes;
ad to thcpunge all useless matter, as well seal! nnotera-
ry.forms, from the pleadings, at the expense of the
