 FOR ERGN.

Latest from Emope.-The Ship On tario, at New York, from london, brings papers of 3d Nov. We take from the Courier 61 Enquirer the accounts they furnish.
 Bristol, one of the chief commercial towns of England, was, 1t seems, the scene of dreadful riots on Saturday night and Sunday, 29th and ss50th of 0c- tober: in the course of which the Man sion House. Custom House, Excise Of flee, four Toll-houses, three prisons, the Bishop of Gloucesters Palace. and 42 private dwellings, were sacked and burnt, with property 10 the amount of Gt00,000. The mob had complete possession of the city; and thc military when they did appear, were in such small numbers, and acted so inefficient | ly, as rather to aggravate than allay the mischief: four or five lives were lost, and about f .i..y fia.y persons were wounded. independently of those of the incendia- ries who, from intoxication, were una ble to escape the flames tley them selves had kindled. At the last dates order was said 10 be restored.
 This spirit of misruic does moi seem to have spread, the Kings proclama- ton only enumeratlng Derby and Not tingham (the riots at which places we heard of by the previous arriYaD and Bristol.
 As 10 Continental affairs, it is said by the Courier & Enquirer, that ssln
 France the Government have resolved to create sufficient number of Peers to carry through the upper Chamber the Bill which has passed the Chamber of Deputies, abolishing an hereditary peerage.
 ..sOne Chamber of the Belgian I.egis- latnre has accepted the terms laid down by the Conference in London; there was doubt that the Senate would ac- cede to them. The King of Holland having hesitated, on his part, a British l fleet had been ordered to the Dutch coast. but timely concessions rendered |hostileoperations by them unnecessary l Ry the Kiag--.4 Proclamation. 1 Willfasa R.-Whereas in divers parts of Great Britain. and more particular l ly in the towns of Derby and Noting ham, and in the city of Bristol, tumui- |tuous asscmb'ages of people have la kenp3ace, and outragcs of the most Vi olent' description have been committed both upon the persons and property oi divers of our subjects; ;.and whereas all the restraints of law and order have been overborne and troddcn under foot by such lawless multitudes, the man. sions of individuals violently entered Ipihaged and set on fire, tho ordinary course of. justice forcibly interrupted:

even 50 far IS to refer 1t to q commit tee, the House admitted what lie des- tIncuy denied-namely,. the right of Congress to appropriate the national do- main to any object specified in the res ooiIaitiea ooiIait as amended. 10 whom docs this land belong? he asked. The whole history of the matter was familiar 10 the House. On the breaking out of the revolution, the different States were differently situated with regard to the unsfanted lands within theif chartered limits. Some of the States went 10 the Pacific Ocean; other States had no angranted lands within their limits. They agreed that the dngfafit- cd lands,under certain restrictions, that should be conquered, should be for the common benefit. When the eonfede- ration mas first proposed. those States which had DO nngranted land, refused to come into il, t,Maryland, Rhode Island, &e. These Bands were afterwards put into common stock, te be secured at the common expense New York ceded her extent of territory to the west, asa common fund to carry On war, and 10 pay the debt that might be ineurred.- After the termination of the war, this domain was set apart as a security for the payment of the principal ofthe pub lie debt-other means being provided to pay the interest. The grants by Virginia, New York and North Caro- lima, were made with that express con dition.
 When the mortgage upon theselands is.paid o1, lle asked, to whom will the land belong? To the United States, whe paid the price of blood and trea- sure in the common cause. The gen. tleman, he said, spoke of those lands as having been ceded by the State of Nir- ginia. He did not wish to go into a discussion of title. But, inpoint of fact, the tract fcountry so ably represented on this floor by the honorable gentle man. belonged 10 the crown Of France till the treaty of l763. The north west line of Virginia did not include 1t, for the plain reason, that, at the time ofthe grant. and for years afterwards, il did not belong to the British crown. When t was subsequently, acquired by conquest, and confirmed to the British by treaty, itwas placed under the gov emment of New York. During the revolution, the State of Virginia did not claim fl as belonging to her terri tory. twas governed as part of the colony of New York. Sir William Johnson had charge of the whole of these vast domains at the west, which wereinhabited by the six nations, and their allies and tributaries.

For want of mounted men it was now necessary 10 expend much in steam boat Transportation and the employment of State Cavalry. Itwas supposed oy Grsl. ; ssa that U. .seas- ure would save the U.
