cal advisers ttle Royal Family had formed

gentlemen began to converse in French. 1t

ERIC RATION TO AMERICA.
LIVERPOOL. Oct. 23.-Thomas Watkins APP
piled TO the Lord Mayor, for summons TO
he directed to MIR. w. Reynolds, Il broker, No.
II. Throgmorton street, and TO Mr.. Guyard
the charterer of the merchant ship Isabella,
from the port of London to New York.
The complainant stated that he had taken
his passage III the Isabella for himself, his wife,
and four children. He paid POI TO the bro
ker. They had been on board the ship five
weeks, with 90 other passengers-they Law off
Blackwell. For the first three weeks the bre-
ker and merchant PIT them off from day 10
toget the provisions on board; on the fourth
week they said they were only waiting TO get
all order from the Privy Council to take more
passengers than were allowed TO the tonnage
OF the ship; they had got that order, iucreas
ing the number TO 25O. On last Saturday
morning, they sent down word on board, that
all the passengers then in the ship must pay
the whole of their passage money, or the ship |
would not proceed on her voyage. The pas
sengers did not know what to do-they were |
afraid to part with the remainder of their mo- |
ney, as the ship was neither sufficiently man
ned or provisioned. Last Saturday week |
they promised, if the vessel did not sail in the |
following week, they would return the passage |
money they had eceived, or get them pas |
sage IN the schr. Telegraph, bound TO New |
York; that the vessel had sailed, and to every |
application now made to them, they only |
laughed at and set the complainant at defiance. |
de, the complainant, had also learned, that |
there were sixty poor Germans and nine Itali-
ans ready TO be put on board, although the |
ship was already crowded. There was one |
woman on board with seven children, all in |
the hopping cough. Summons granted.
Altar early hour on Friday the Justice room |
was crowded with persons anxious to hear the |
investigation of the case in which Mr.. Rev.
nolds End MIR. Guyard were concerned, as |
above Stated. The Lord Mayor had, however,
scarcely taken his seat, when lie was request |
ed to postpone the nyeStigaton, and in the |
provision the ship, and get her to sea. Much |
satisfaction was evipced by all around at this |
cheering prospect for the passengers, while |
the punishment is still held in terr0rem by his |
lordship.
