STOCK KNCHANOE,ONR O'CLOCK.

The Funds have recovered their station this morn-
lag, which they bolt yesterday. Consuls are now
701 for the Ac, runt the market looking well. To-
day being the winding-up before the holiday•, has
caused an info: of business, but nothing of any par-
ticular moment.

Extract of a letter from ',squire, Oct. 2 :—JoLtz
lately landed some of his crew at an estate to the
windward of this city with an intention of snpplying
himself sits a quantity of rum. The moment the in-
formation reached us of his landing, a body of 40
men was sent st;aiust him, and ordered to snake the
greatest s?eed ;o the scere of his intended depreda-
tions. They met with the banditti, and after some
skirmishing, took six of them prisoners, besides killing
and wounding several others. The remainder escaped
in their boat, and the prisoners were conducted into
this city. The commanding officer was slightly
wounded.

One day after another the Ministerial press confirms
some forcbo,ling• we have ventured to express. It was
but yesterday we announced oe: conviction of the
course of rigour uhich was meditated by Ministers ;
and our apprehensions of their determination to con-
tinue their persecutions of the QII:EN. That our fears
were too well fonnded, one of their servile journals
of this morning, very frankly and bo'illy avows. In
a language as foreign to the spirit of English jurispru-
dence, as to the feelings of an Eng'isli heart, th;s venal
print declares, that" notwithstandl-ig all the effrontery
with which a temporary escape has been celebrated
as a triumph, sentence will not fa;l, in some shape or
other, to follow conviction." !t wodd be a waste of
time, as well as temper, to expose the savage tone, the
audacious style, or the grog! Tiolption of evert law of
humanity, decorum-m order, combined in this most
arroeant and alarming announcement. To dare to

tens the decision o: the House of Lords relative to
the Queen a " emacietiou 1" to refer to the wanes
there constituted as that assembly was, as any thing
of a fair and English-like trial to presume to act
upon a Bill that was defeated, as if it had passed ; and
to treat any of the es-parte, mutilated, and abortive
proceedings which have roused and animated the na•
tion with indignation, as measures that had any pre-
tensions to justice or good po!icv, or afforded any
grounds for future steps, is making a mock of all the
forms wid analogies of constitutional law, and an
insult to the understanding and the feelings
of the nation. The course resolved on seers
adopted under a determination to try how far
the country can bear the most wanton and
hanglity outrages of whatever it was accustomed to
bold dear. It seems to be the firni and deliberate
purpose of the Ministers to take advartage of the
question reverting the QUEEN, in order to goad and
provoke the people; and in the moments of the irri-
talon they are nicely to produce, to find a plausible
pretest Ix overwhelming them with military force,
and binding them for ever after with additional
legal restraints. What else can he the motive
of ti tir conduct? Religion, murals, good policy
and reasoirs of state—pleas they hrve most incon-
sistent::: and vainly employed to justify their rash anu
4angeriois alesatices,--each and all condemn, most
loudly, the enrol's-he on which they are bent. " The
Rill of Painsandrenalties 4.111 certainly not be revived."
If the attempt were nude, it would unquestionably
be otranc,ied in it. birth. The country, the House of
Lords, and the Ministers themselves, have had full
enough of tinch vile evidence at could be procured
from bir.!ing foreign witnesses. " Bat," it appears
that this " evidence bring recorded in the journals of
Perdiame,it, will beewne the foundation of a measure
to guard the honour of the Crown and the character
of the country."! ! Wbat the nature of the measure
is, the denunciation proceeds very clearly to in-
dicate. The object is, that her Maaerry should
not " retain the privileges of a QUEEN," nor
" the income, which operates," it is alleged,
" in so many modes to the public detriment." Such is
the view which the ministerial press unfolds to-day of
the ulterior designsof their employers; and "upon this
prospect," they have the effrontery to add they " con-
gratalrte the thinking and the worthy part of the
public."--It is " not to be endured that a person" like
the QUEEN " should remain at the head of the female
society of tireat Britain !"—lAll this," said Hassan,
" availed) me nothing so long as I see Monnecat the
Jew, sitting at the lowa's gate !I !"
The Haneverian Bovernseent have it in eontempla
lion to adopt some measure against the Queen, said
to be founded upon the late proceedings in our House
of Lords.
