Extract of s letter from Manchester,"Jin. 25 “Since the suppression of the combina tion of the cotton spinners, this often dis turbed town had been in a state of quiet ness, but the appearance of Hunt amongst us has again thrown Manchester into con fuvion. Ifwas generally believed by ail rrspectabie persons, until Hunt’s appear ace at the theatre, on Fridiy, that lie had left this neighborhood. Of tne affair th.it then occurred between Lurd Uxbridge with several other officers, and Huntand his party, I presume you Have ssan the accounts in the Manchester papers. The follow wg day a placard was posted abeut the town headed— “Fifty Guineas Reward—Riot, assault, and rubbery!’—ft stated, that as Mr. Hunt Mr. Chapman, and Mr. Whitworth were peaceably seated in the theatre, they were attacked by Captain Frazer, Lord Ux bridge, and 20 or SO other ruffians, one of whom robbed Mr. Chapman- of a dia mond broach, and also attempted to take nis watch. The reward was promised on conviction of this person, and as to the others, they should be dealt with accord mg to law, if there be any late left. Hunt, with Chapman and Whitworth attended early this morning at the New Bailey court, house, where the country sessions are now holding. The grand Ju ry had however been discharged last week Hunt applied to the bench for redress He was informed by Mr. Hay, the chair man, that they were then siting, as the courtof quarter cessions, and could not hear to his application, but there would shortly tie a magistrate in the adjoining room, who would hear his complaint. Hunt replied, he would have Justice if be remained for, a month, and then withdrew into the jus tices’ room, until the arrival of Mr. Nor ris, the Police magistrate. He was then informed, the regular hour for such mat terswas twelve o’clock. Hunt and his party came again at that hour, and had a private hearing before the magistrates Two officers of the 7t!i Hussars were pre sent. I cannot state the particulars of what passed, but am informed a warrant was granted against an inhabitant o, Man cheater, to appear to-morrow, to answer Hunt’s complaint. “It was generally known that Hunt intended to be again at the theatre this evening with a number of his compan ions, it waa reported that a number ol offi cers would also be there. An immense crowd was collected about the doors very early. 'J he numbers at the gallery door were most alarming. In consequence however, of a -request from the magis Crates, the managers very properly have not opened the theatre to-night- Every prudent person must commend this pre caution, as from the number and character of the persons assembled, and the present agitated state of the public mind, most probably a serious riot would have taken place. run m rar Mi.vcBrsTEB xracraT or a tv. 26 Hunt signified his intention yesterday ot again going to the Theatre in the even ing, amongst a part? of eighteen, and that he would provide himself with arms. Un der such circumstances, the Managers deemed it prudent to forego the opening of the Theatre, and sent the party their money back, with an intimation conveying the conclusion they had formed. Monday evening, half-putt seven o'clock We have it in our power betore we go to press, to add the following particulars: —On the foregoing subject we have before stated that Mr. Hr.vr had been apprised of- the intention to shut the Theatre, but it appears that such intimation did not keep him away, as it afforded this speechifier another opportunity of convincing every dispassionate man that he does not grow wiser by his growing older.—The moment oe arrived at the theatre Royal,his friends demanded silence, when the Orator, in ne of the most furious arod bombastic peeches, ever heard or read, informed his friends (probably what they dtdnai know before), that he was a very’lionest but ill- used man; that at! the respectability and virtue in the town belonged to his friends. the Men of Reform; that the merchants, ind those called the higher orders, wore all blackguards; and he concluded his speech in tie following words:—“Friends, I beseech you to be .peaceable, lest you should draw upon you the bloody butchers f Waterloo!!!" This last expression drew down upon the Orator the hisses of every man present, having pretensions -to. that name: am! we say it, to the credit of tne populate, that the majority, of those who previously had applauded him; now joined in the hisses. The Orator, finding tms feeling, prudently retreated. We sin cerely wish that this man would take our advice, and go quietly home about his busi ness, and farther oblige us by never com ing ere again. The following is a copy of a letter from Mr. Hunt, to his royal highness the Duke of York, commander-in-chief:— * Manchester, Jan. 25. 1819. Sin—I have inclosed your royal hijji- i a h->:,d bill, and a paragraph that ha- p;«ar.-d in a public newspaper, printed Manciiestcr, whiih win convey fo your roy.il Highness seine idea ot one of most wanton, cowardly ■•sr.otts, and violrnl outr. g--s, that ever <lisg:a:«d the annals of a free country, commuted upon mysdfand three-respectable Tradesmen oTthi* town la body covered with blood—it was the by some officers batonging fo the Tih regi- nortaf remains of this favorite of courts — —-- ■ -* 1 and princes. The baron was buried alive! On recovering from his trance he had for ced the lid of the coffin and endeavored men t of Husara, on Friday night last, at the Theatre. A memorial from some ot the most respectable and loyal inhabitants of Manchester, who were eye-witnesses of the whole transaction, will shortly be for warded to your royal highnecs, which will prove the correctness of this account, ac companied by many aggravated circum stances. The whole of the persons con cerned in this disgraceful riot, will be im mediately prosecuted in the couits ot law: but, as officers of the 7th dragoons were not only the intigators, but the actual as sailants of unarmed and peaceable citizens without the slightest provocation. I feel confident, that your toy a I highness will hasten to investigate, -this atrocious deed which has inflicted such an indelible dis grace upon the authors of it; and fixed sued a foul and cowardly stain upon the character of the British solder, that no thing can remove but the prompt and de cisive interposition of the commander-in chief of the British Army,” <3fc- <5'c- <5‘ c - “Hejrv Hunt.

Paper. THE P1.J1GUE. Accountsfromtli" Barbary states, as late Dec. cootirue to repres-: t the plagu as making frightful ravag,s. A letter from Mr Folsom, charge ties affairs of th< United States at Tunis, d-toil Nov. 2d has been received hero, by which wc learn that upwards of 700 persons a day ha died at Tunis; that the Chi-:stain residents are quarantined in their houses, and pi ced in the most trying and dangerous -it nations; and, by a later account, we leat with sincere regret, that Ricliui-d Oglm der, tsq. his Britannic majesty’s con geneial at that place, a man of gre.i worth, and in the prime of life, had fallen a victim to this dreadful malady. Th pl-gue had not reached Tripoli, but there is no doubt, from the fanaticism of tli Mus»<:I men, that it will soon reach tlial place; it may then extend to Herne ami Bomba, when it will be arrested by the Lrbiiii desert. It appears, that thi dreadful eo.itagion first broke out at Oran from thence it extended t:/ Algiers, and o<> on across the Atlas mountains, into the heart ol Morocco, aud eastward to Tunis it has elso spiead tc the westward anil reached Constantine, Kaiewan, and other populous towns It is somewhat surpris ing, that with all the improvements and discoveries in the healing art, with all the scientific researches and experiments, which have taken in their range every dis ease incideefto man, that no cure, no ■ ~ fectual remedy has ever been discover for this sweeping pestilence. As the most stubborn diseases have yielded to skill and proper remedies, so we believe tiia this dirorder could be cured, as it cer tainly could be prevented. Unfortunate ly, the religious prejudices of Mahometans prevent the adaption of measures which may tend to check the progress of this mala dy It is a contagious and nutan epidemic disease. When a part of a-city is affected and it surrounded, and carefully guarded to pre vent any connexion with it, the disease ex pires of itself: but, the Tories take no pre caution, and apply no remedy. That em pire is figt decaying. Pestilence will do more than the sword, and religous intote ranee and bigotry unite with other reuses to promote its downfall. The sooner the bette-. 'J'lie friends of humanity arc tired of this despotism which prohibits the use of those specifics, which Providence has pointed out for the use of man, and which continues to cower a noble quarter of the world with the shield of darkness and superstittan—W'e do not, however uelieve, that 700 persons die in a day at Tunis; at that rate, the inhabitants would soon be swept away; besides, there is no mode of ascertaining the exact number, but it will be readily conceived, that 150,008 inhabitants, cribbed in a city one third the size of New York, with narrow aud filthy streets, and a confined utmos pliere, must suffer greatly. The foreign agents must be deplorably situated; lie is fortunate who is honored by his country with that trust, but he who escapes it is more fortunate; and, we cannot but feel ndebted to government, under present appearances, for the permission granted us of leaving that inhospitable part of tne world.—-Vat. Advocate. LAW I.YTF.LLIGEJh'CE. New-Orleans, Feb. 4. Two important cases were yesterday letermined in the -supreme coutt of this tate—that of the heirs of Bertrand Gra- ier, vs. Edward Livingston and others, and that of Benjamin Morgan vs. the iame. Judgments iu both cases were giv en for the plaintiffs. In the first, three persons residing in France, co-heir» with John Gravier, of Bertraml Gravier, demanded from the de fendants three-fourths of the batture, in front of the fauxbnurg St. Mary, by them purchased from John Gravier. The claim, was resisted oo the ground that the whole state of S. Gravier, including the batture, hid been adjudged by a competent tri- unal The case turned on a question of fact, viz. whether the batture was part of the estate adjudged? The court was of opinion tint it was not, and ordered partition »f the batture, three fourths to die plainl.ffs and one fourth to -the defen dant. In the other case, B- Morgan, owner of lot on L vee street in the fauxburg St. Mary, claimed sixty feet front of the bat- cuie, and extending in depth from the Jc- vee to the water. He shewed that his lot of this width made part of a much larger one, winch formed part ol a plantation New-York, March IS. At length the great and interesting causes of Griswold vs. Waldington, and Beaman vs. the same, have been finally settled before the court of errors, where (he judgments of cue courts below, in fa- voi of the defendant, were confirmed by □early all the votes of the court: twomem*- hers only, Skinner and Livingston, dis senting. This decision is one of the most important, bath as to the principle and the aimiuut of property, that has ever coins before this court. The principle it recog nizes, is, that war puts an end to all ex isting contracts and partnership between the subjects of the two beiitigerants, and renders it imptxFrble to mike any new ones during the state of such war. .y Harrison, Wells, Emmet,and Hoffman, for defendant in error.

Rapid Passage—A package of the Com mercial Advertiser, was put mi board the hip Fanny bound to Greenock, nn the 25th f December, and was delivered to our correspondent in London on or about the 20th of January. The vvi»pper of the package enclosing London papers and Loyd’s lists, was returned tons yesterday morning, having been conveyed from New- Yorx to Greenock, from Greenock to ( Lou- dnn, from London to Liverpool from licence tc Norfolk in Virginia, mid from Norfolk tc New-York, within the limits of eighty day*.

Mr. Thomp son. as was expected, gives general satis faction in his new office; and if be with draws from Washington, it wil, only be, vve presume, to accept the ttflit e of govern or of this state, in conformity with the wishes of a vast portion of the republican party—-A*. V, Jh'at. Advocate. OF THE CESSION OFTHE FLORID AS. ntojr Tax national advocati. y. After many years of expensive and per plexing negotiation; after having nearly exhausted pacific measures, in relation to our affairs with Spain, we have at length concluded a treaty, which has been unani mously confirmed by the senate, and by which we become possessed ol the Flori da*, and with them terminate our differ- ettces with that kingdom This event is calculated to give the most general satis faction because it prevents a resort to arms, an alternative which, however neces sary at times, is always painful, expensive, nd doubtful in its effects, ami also gives us, in full sovereignty, a territory -more valuable from its position than its extent, and indispensable to the safety of our fron tier, and to the peace, security, and pros perity of the southern states. We have to pay fur this purchase the sum of £ve millions ofdoilats, a trivial amount, com pared with itt value to us; and, what is mure satisfactory, this sum is to be paid out of the sales of lai.d in tiie Floridas.. and out of it our citizens are to be indemnified for Spanish spoliations on our commerce; thus giving indemnity lor the pnst, and promissing security for the future, lhe boundaries are as extensive as we could require, and as fully commensurate with aii our views as to satisfy. Tiie treaty re- uires to be confirmed by the Spanish go vernment, which will, no doubt, tie effect ed .with promptness. It is contemplated to be seat out by Mr. Forsyth, lately ap pointed minister at that court. By a calculation made in 1815, the Flor ida* brought the Spanish government in debt upwards ot800,000 dollars annually; and during the.existence of the corteZ, the regents of the kingdom would gladly have made the transfer, bad their ally, Great Britain, permitted them to do so. It is* however, more secure to us now, coming- from a government less liable to change than it was during the revolution; and it wilS remain to be seen, bow. very different the prospect of the Florida* wiU be since; they have changed masters.
