REFRACTORY SEAMEN.

NEwcAsTLE, Oct. 2t.—The naval and military
power made their grand muster to-day, and com-
pletely 6ucreeiled in regaining possession of the port,
but nnt,in inducing the men to return to their duty.
About 2O skins get away with crews mixed with
apprentices, and, if the wind holds, I think there
aid be many seceders among the sailors if they find
they ran be protected.

The Town of Shields ia wider the charge of the
MO Sheriffs and County Magistrates, supported by
a strong military toter. The business was accom-
plished Without Itloothitied, which was more than
any one expected from the temper manifested in the
morning.

The some,' have most zealously gupposted lbe ma-
riner% in. their projeeta, not, those who withheld their

assioaoce note exposed, by hiving their caps turned
wrong sirh• out.

It is alit' great pleasure we have to state, that
thene is ever) reisfin to beli.,re that the disturbances

nt S!iielis are at an end. The Mly or of Newcastle
uent on hoard the 7'artarits, at Shields, at two
o'clock on Saturday, and, with the oilier Magis-
tiling, took the most effectual measures to obtain the

command of the harbour, and by six o'clock in the
afternoon 25 ships had put to eve. The di4position
of the military and natal force by Major-General
Itiale and Captain Toker presented so imposing an

appearance to the RePrilVil, that nn oppncition was
made. The boats in which the seamen had been

IR-Customer, to assemble, rind with which they had
blockaded and commanded the harbour, were se-
„cured by the marines under Capt. 'Coker. On this
result we heartily congratulate all parties interested
in the trade of Newcastle, and the public at large.
Another account says, "That on Saturday last
the cavalry were drawn up, and almost instanCy
made a c!,arge upon the whole body assembled, and
at that instant the whole fled in all directions.—
About 30 of the ringleaders were secured, since
which several have been discharged, and others re.
mained in custody. The charge was made by the
cavalry with that order slid prevision, that not a
single life was lost, and not even a carbine or a
musket fired. A few hours after the charge was
made, being then high water, about twenty sail of
yes.els put to sea (manned chiefly by apprentices),
and it was espected that upwards of fifty sail more
would get to sea at the neat tide. When the ac.
counts krt Newcastle, it was considered that the
wholeelfair would be finally settled."
The following is a copy of a letter from Lord
Sidrnouth to the 11layor of Newenstie, to which we
have sul.joitted a letter from Newcastle, dated the
slay before yesterday. We hall soon have to an.
ic' the restoration of truer.
