LATEST FROM LIVERPOOL.
N EW-YORK, DA ember 0.
By the packet ship*Amity, captain Maxwell,
which arrived this day at half past 1 o’clock, the
editors ol the Commercial Advertiser have re
ceived from their correspondents, London papers
to the 29th of July, Lloyd’s Lists to the 2Jth, and
Liverpool papers to the 31st, all inclusive.
Our latest Liverpool paper, states that Wal
ter Scott is confined to his bed by sickness.
Our papers arc much occupied with accounts
of popular meetings, and of the discontents and
disturbances in various counties. Constable of
Stockport, by the name of Birch, who had arrest
ed a Mr. Harrison,*was attacked in the street by
three men, one of whom fired a pistol at his breast,
and dangerously wounded him. Lord Sidmouth
has issued a proclamation, offering a reward of
four hundred pounds for the apprehension of the
3—300 for the person who fired the pistol, and 50
for each of the others. One of the three, named
Bruce, was soon arrested. Birch, at the latest j
date, was still living, but deranged, and not like
ly to survive many hours.
Harrison, after he was arrested by Birch, was
permitted to go at large on giving bail, and im
mediately repaired to several popular meetings,
and addressed the multitude. In noticing this,
the Courier of the 29th July, says—“We men
tioned yesterday, that Parson Harrison was at
the Rochdale Meeting. This man, alluding to
the atrocious attack upon Birch, described it
sneeringly, “as a bullet having been put into a
sheriff’s officer!” But can we wonder that the
cowardly crime of assassination should loose
something of its horrors to an English mind,
when we find wretches connected with the pub
lic press, base enough to recommend it? This
has been done for months past by the twopenny
writers; and we find, in the “Manchester Obser
ver” of the 24th instant, the following conclusion
to an article full of sanguinary threats upon the
loyal inhabitants of Manchester who have asso
ciated‘for the protection of the Constitution:—
Should a second Oliver be discovered , it is de
voutly to be wished that no time will be given j
for bills of indemnity; but that a .Yoble Brutus j
will be found ufion the spot, to filace in such mis
creant's heart a •+-///
“The logic of this is very simple. Every man
who is instrumental in bringing the contrivers of
treason and rebellion to justice, is an Oliver;
and every Oliver is to “have a dagger placed in
his miscreant heart!”—These are the doctrines
of the reformers: the tragedy at Stockport is
t heir practice,”
From the London Courier of July 29.
“City hale-past one. —Mr. Hase, from the
bank of England, has just now made a commu
nication to the slock of exchange, that the bank
of England declines taking in the omnium (that
is, that they will not pay the future instalments
on being allowed 5 per cent interest for the ad
vance.) The funds have already fallen a half
per cent. Great fluctuations are expected.”
The following intelligence has reached the
city this morning, in private letters from Gibral
tar. We received it, just as w e were going to
press, and give it, upon the authority, with
out vouching for its accuracy.
“Letters received from Gibraltar* dated 9th
instant, state, that an alarming revolution had
broken out at Cadiz. The troops had refused i
to embark for South America. General ( Don- j
nel, the commandei in chief, was at the he*d of
the insurrection. The troops were on tiu-ir
march for Madrid. General Don had received
the particulars at Gibraltar by express from Ca
diz.”
Don Onis, the late minister of Spain to the
United States, has fallen into disgrace with king
Ferdinand, even at the very moment when he
plumed himself most on the favor of his master.
An argument is drawn from this circumstance,
that the treaty whereby the Floridas were ceded
to the United States, and which was altogether;
the wal k of Onis, will not receive the sanction of
the court of Madrid. t
The troops of the United States arc, however,
in possession of Pensacola and St. Marks, and we
fear that the king of Spain, in his present state of
imbecility, would find some difficulty in rescu
ing them from the talons of the republican eagle.
The well known general Sarrazin was tried
before the assize court of Paris on Friday week,
for bigamy, having married Miss Georgiana
Hutchinson, an English lady, while a former wife
vas still living. The general was found guilty,
and sentenced to 10 ycars hard labor, and to pay
40,000 francs (upwards of 1600/ sterling) to Miss
Hutchinson, by way of damages. Against this
sentence general Sarrazin has appealed.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Boston, September 11.
The ship Meteor, captain Glover, arrived here i
yesterday, in 30 days from Liverpool. We have
received of Mr. Topliff London papeVs to the Bth
August, and Liverpool to the 9th, both inclusive,
and from the keeper of Merchant’s Hall, Liver
pool papers to the sth.
Meetings of reformers, bqth male and fe
male, continued to be held. The prince regent
I,ad issued a proclamation denouncing such meet- j
ings as illegal, and some small bodies of troops
baKsheen ordered to proceed to some of the dis- j
contcrhv'd districts.
Parham ni had been further prorogued from
the 24th Au to lslc 2tl November.

jeets have been held upon the requisition of per-1
sons who, or some of w horn, have, to , ether with j
others, by seditious ?nd treasonable speeches ad
dressed to the persons assembled, endeavored to
bring into hatred and contempt the government
and constitution established in this realm, and
particularly the commons’ house of parliament,
and to excite disobedience to the laws and insur
rection against his majesty’s authority.
And whereas it hath been represented unto us,
that at one of such meetings, the persons there
assembled, in gross violation of the law, did at
tempt to const itutc and appoint, and did, as much
as in them lay, constitute and appoint, a person
then nominated, to sit in their name and on their
the commons’ house of parliament; and
there is ieason to believe that other meetings arc
about to be held for the like unlawful purpose:
And whereas many wicked and seditious writ
ings ha\ e been printed, published, and industri
ously circulated, tending to promote the several
purposes aforesaid, and to raise groundless jeal
ousies and discontents in the minds of his majes
ty’s faithful and loyal subjects:
And whereas we have been further given to
understand, that, with a view the better enabling
Hremselves to carry into effect the wicked pur
poses aforesaid, in some parts of the kingdom,
men, clandestinely and unlawfully assembled,
have practised military training and exercise:
And whereas the welfare and happiness of this
kingdom do, under Divine Providence, chiefly
depend upon due submission to the laws, a just
reliance on the integrity and wisdom of parlia
ment, and a steady perseverance in that attach
ment to the government and constitution of the
realm, which has ever prevailed in the minds of
the people thereof; and whereas there is nothing
which we so earnestly wish as to preserve the
public peace and prosperity, and to secure to all
his majesty’s liege subjects the entire enjoyment
of their rights and liberties:
We, therefore, being resolved to repress the
wicked, seditious and treasonable practices afore
said, have thought fit, in the name and on the be
half of his majesty and by and with the advice
of his majesty’s privy council, to issue this our
royal proclamation, solemnly warning all his ma
jesty’s liege subjects to guard against every at
tempt to overthrow the law, and to subvert the
government so happily established within this
realm, and to abstain from every measure incon
sistent with the peace and good order of society,
and earnestly exhorting them at all times, and
to the utmost of their power, to avoid and dis
countenance all proceedings tending to produce
the evil effects above described:
And we do strictly enjoin all his majesty’s lov
ing subjects to forbear from the practice of all
such military training and exercise as aforesaid,
as they shall answer the contrary thereof at their
peril.
And we do charge and command all sheriffs,
justices of the peace, chief magistrates of cities,
boroughs, and corporations, and all other magis
trates throughout Great Britain, that they do,
within their i espective jurisdictions, make dili
gent inquiry in order to discover and bring to
justice the authors and promoters of such wick
ed and seditious writings as aforesaid, and all
who shall circulate the same; and that they do
use their best endeavors to bring to justice all
persons who have been or may be guilty of ut
tering- seditious speeches and harangues, and all
persons concerned in any riots or unlawful as
semblies which, on whatever pretext they may
be grounded, are not only contrary to law but
dangerous to tne most important interests of the
kingdom. * ,

Chester, July 28.
A movement is anticipated among the disaf
fected early in the ensuing week. Every civil
and mil. ary precaution is taken to thwart their
designs.
Twelve o'clock. —A considerable quantity of
ammunition las just been forwarded from the
Castle for the disturbed districts: it was escort
ed by a guard of the 71st regiment.
The principal papers that have reached us,
state the march of th- troops to be pouring par
ticularly on the count cs of York, Lancaster, and
.Chester. A division qi artillery, which reached
t.fis city on Monday lash continued their route
on Tuesday, for the northern districts: on Tues
day and Wednesday, the Srst and second divi
sions of tire 31st regiment of foot, marched in
upon us; and proceeded ol Wednesday and
Thursday, on their route for Stockport, which
seems to be a marked point, round which a cor
don af troops, both horse and lout, are forming
in considerable numbers. The country is hour
ly becoming in a more frightful state.—Litch
field Mercury.
On Monday last, one thousand stanaof arms,
with a proportionate quantity of ammunition, un
der the escoi t of an officer’s party, were ftrward
-1 ed from the deposit of Chester Castle, tc Man
chester, for the armed association of that popu
lous tow n. Prevention is better than cun.—
There are now arms, etc. in our Castle fo’ a
bout fifty thousand men.— Chester Chronicle

The meeting at Manchester, with Hunt o
preside will certainly take place on Monday, uj
less the measures adopted by the magistrate
: should prevent it. They have publicly prohib-
ited persons from attending, by a notice posted
up in the streets of Manchester, and signed by a
committee appointed by the magistracy of the
two counties. The object of the meeting, they
affirm, and very properly, to be illegal, inasmuch
as it is called for the purpose of electing a citi
zen to represent them in parliament. The peo
ple, therefore, are cautioned, at their peril, not
to attend, and we hope this timely notice will
-have the desired effect.
London, August 7.
A Fianders mail arrived this morning, bring
ing Brussels papers to the 4th instant. It is stat
ed, that the whole Russian army is to be divided
into colonics. The regiments will be distributed
Over the whole extent of the Russian empire,
and divided into colonies or settlements. In time
of peace, they will cultivate this ground along
with the peasants. Measures, however, will be
adopted, that they may be speedily assembled in
time of war, and ready to go wherever circum
stances may require. By the accounts from
Spain in the French papers, it appears, that the
ex-ministers Pizarro and Cassa Yrujo have been
brought to Valuerde, a small village near Mad
rid, where they have been lodged in a convent,
and strictly guarded. This has been done to fa
cilitate the precognition of the proceedings which
have been instituted againt them. The council
lor of Castile, Orellana, has put himself to death
at a village near Avisa, to which he had gone on a
visit to his brother, who is bishop of the diocese.
It is supposed that chagrin, on account of his
disgrace at court, led him to commit that act
of despair. It is still said that difficulties un
foreseen by, and foreign to, the Spanish go
vernment, delay the ratification of the transfer
of the Floridas, which the United States’ envoy
continues to press; but the Gazette says nothing
on the subject, and individuals know nothing of
the details.
According to advices from Madrid, three thou
sand men sailed from Cadiz on the 18th ult. in
twelve heavy transports escorted by the Sabino
frigate, of 40 guns, and the armed brig Ligero.
They are under the orders of general Cagigal,
who had a high command in Carraccas, previ
ously or about the time the revolution broke out
there. It is therefore presumed that this expe
dition is bound to that quarter; but it is not known
whether Cagigal supersedes Morillo.
London, August 8.
The intended meeting at Manchester, which
has excited so much alarm, will not take place.
The magistrates had announced their intention
to prevent it by force, and this led the radical re
formers to take legal advice. A Mr. Saxon lias
issued a placard, in which he states that he was
instructed by Mr. Ranenock to say “that the in
tention of chusing representatives, contrary to the
existing law, tends greatly to render the proposed
meeting seditious; under those circumstances, it
would be deemed justifiable in the magistrates to
prevent such meeting.” A requisition has, how
ever, been presented to the boroughreeve and
and constables, to convene a meeting, “to consi
der of the most legal and effectual means of ob
taining a reform in the commons’ house of par
liament.” Mr. Hunt is said to be at Manchester.
LATEST FROM SPAIN.
Philadelphia, September 10.
Captain Eldridge, of the Savannah Packet,
in 3 days from Cadiz, has favored us with Mad
rid Gazettes to the 1 6th, and Cadiz, to the 29th
July.
Mr. Tunis, late consul of the United States at
Cadiz, came passenger in the Savannah Packet.

The crew of the Buenos Ayres privateer Con
stitution, about 73” in number, were in confine
ment in the castle of St. Sebastiano. This ves
sel ran ashore in the steights near the Tarriffa,
and was captured by armed boats sent out of said
town, and her crew sent tc Cadiz.
The Spanish brig of war Voltaiere de Cadiz
was attacked off cape St. Vincents by a privateer,
and escaped with considerable injury, and sever
al of her crew killed and wounded.
An expedition of about 3000 men left Cadiz
on the 18th July, it is supposed destined for Ha
vana. These troops were conveyed by his ma
jesty’s frigate Sabina, and the brig of war Tiger.
The transports consisted of seven Spanish, one
French, two English, and two Russian ships.—
The great expedition goes on slowly, and no
time is fixed for its departure. A disturbance
bad taken place at Port St. Mary’s (where a
a great part of the troops are stationed) among
the officers which required the presence of the
captain general, who on hearing of it immediate
ly set out from Ladiz with his troops to quell it,
and soon after his arrival succeeded. It appears
many were dissatisfied and anxious to see the con
stitution again adopted. Generat Cruz, with a
number of officers were put under arrest.
The king was at Sacerdon taking the baths,
and was expected at Madrid about the 28th July.
It was generally believed in Cadiz, the treaty
would not be ratified.
The marquis de'Casa Yrujo still remained
w ithout sentence.
Mr. Mead was at Madrid prosecuting his claims
upon the Spanish government.
Don Onis, it was said had reached his estates
in Old Castile, and was expected at Madrid about
the 28, the day fixed for the return of the king
from the baths.
We are indebted to a friend for the following
interesting extract of a letter, received per the
Savannah Packet:
Cadiz, July 24.
“As to the political state of things, I consider
them very critical, such as must ultimately (and
when least expected) be attended with serious
results, as a general disorder prevails through
the whole kingdom, and among all ranks of peo
)le. You will have heard no doubt of the late
conspiracy in the army, encamped between
Acres (Shcry) ami Fort St. Mary’s which was
uifortunately, or I should rather say treacher
ously overset bv the very man w ho is said to have
bem the chief promoter thereof, general O’Don
ne!. lie has thereby lost his popularity, both
heie and in the army, and I think he will be ve
ry lvcky if he comes off with only that loss. It
has teen a most treacherous piece of business on
his pa;t if what is said be true. Upwards of 200
officers of all ranks are under arrest in ci'nlki'cnt
castles, with centinels at their doors. It seen,'*
the plan was to re-establish the constitution, and
was to have taken place on the Bth instant.
“The treaty is not vet ratified, audit is a doubt
with many whether it will be.”
From the Washington City Gazette.
NATIONAL FINANCES.
A sort of semi-official expose of the condition
of our national financial concerns, for the last
quarter , accompanied by some remarks respect
ing the payment of the Louisiana stock, on that
portion redeemable on the 21st of October next,
has been given to the public in the Georgetown
Messenger, of last Saturday. It furnishes, with
an air of confidence, many facts, whic* must be
interesting to the nation at large, though with
what portion of prudence we w ill not pretend to
say, as premature statements on a subject so fic
kle as finance, must always be received with
caution; extracts follow—
Receipts arising from the Customs. ,
“The receipts into the treasury during the
present year, though they have fallen short of
the amount which ought to have been paid, have
nevertheless, exceeded the general expectation.
From the Customs alone, the nett sum paid into
the treasury during the last quarter falls very
little short of six millions of dollars —exceeding,
by one million six hundred thousand dollars, the
amount received from the same source during
the preceding quarter. Y r et, in no instance , has
any severity been resorted to in the collection.
The indulgence granted, has indeed, been con
siderable, but in every case where further time
was allowed, additional security has been obtain
ed.”
Receipts arising from the sale of Public Lands.
“The nett sum paid into the treasury during
the last quarter from the public lands, exceeded
one million one hundred thousand dollars—be
sides a large amount of Mississippi stock, receiv
ed for lands in Mississippi and Alabama.
“The whole of the nett receipts into the trea
sury for the half year ending on the 30lh of June
last, may be stated as follows—
From the customs §10,330,000
public lands 2,293,000
miscellaneous source 927,000
Total, §13,450,000
Respecting late animadversions of
papers on liquidating a.
stock at this embgjiauJffjf period, wo aicVold
that the comiwffrfioners of the sinking with
out regard to the state of the treasury, (wlucfe
certainly very unreasonable, if imperative)—
“Are required by luxe, to apply the extinguish-
ment of the public debt, ten millions of dollars
annually, (or so much of that sum as the condi
tions ol the loans and the prices of stock will
permit,) whatever may be the state of the conn
try, or of the treasury; and all the public mo
nies in the treasury, except six hundred thou
sand dollars, are placed at their disposal for that
purpose. In addition to these ten millions, they
are authorised to apply whatever other monies
may remain in the treasury, more than two mil
lions of dollars, alter all the appropriations made
by law are discharged.”
“1 he instalment of the Louisiana debt, which
the commissioners determined to pay oft’ inrfpc
tober last, amounted to 4,*77,9 50 dollarsf of
j which J 3,7.0 1 ,fiorr*dollars was owned in Europe.,
Tht"instalment payable next month i$ 2,688,09*
—of which nearly the same proportion is own-fu
abroad. Ihe whole sum, however, is payable
in the United States. And if a part should be
withdrawn from the country by the foreign own
ers, whatever inconvenience may be produced
by the transfer, is chargeable to the law which
i permitted foreigners to own the debt, and which
prescribed the time of payment—and not to the
secretary of the treasury —who pays only what
the law enjoins.”
As we propose copying the whole article to
morrow, we forbear making any more extracts
to-day, except a paragraph of commencement
horn the National Intelligencer, giving addition
al information on tfy.s topic, which states:
“1 hat the bank ol the United States has as
sumed the payment of that portion of the Loui
siana debt redeemable in the next month, and
that the foreign holders have cheerfully consent
ed that the payment, by the bank, of the amount
of the stock held by them, shall be deferred for
three years, the bank paying them the same rate
ol interest as they have heretofore received from
the government. Ihe effect of this measure will
be to leave this amount to be employed in the
aid of commerce here, instead of sending it a
broad to redeem the Louisiana stock, which is
almost altogether held by foreigners. It is sup
posed it will have the further desirable effect of
enabling the bank*of the United States to redis
count a portion of the amount of the loans which
they have drawn in by curtail since the first day
of October.”
