iF the country, and it is at one half the price ot the London copy. Of this particular work we nave not yet had sufficient leisure for perual; & can therefore only speak of the reputation of the writer in Europe: he is the author of that plan which is now in operation in the Bank of England, for supplying the larger offices of circulation, by payment in ingotsgold, when the sum reaches a specified amount. 1 his work is one of the most jecent, and coming from one of the most respectable writers on the subject, must be necessary to every man, whose duties call upon him to understand the interests of society, in an age when the prosperity cf nations 30 much depends upon an accurate knowledge of political cconomy, and when the rela tion3 of all nations in commerce and exchanges, ire undergoing a revolution which renders it essential to know what ha been and what is, in order to be premrcd for what is to be : a rev-

olution that, before it ceases, will realize the sentiment of Napoeon, that 'Nothing in the ht century will remain the same in the present." After some further remarks on this subject the Aurora concludes in the following admonu tory terms"We have th vight it fit to offer these ideas because in anannouncing a new work cf which wc cannot yet form an opinion, we whih to keep all who study political economy guarded against pinning their faith upon another's sleeve. The man who expects to understand the fundamental principles of political economy, by reading tnith, may be excused lor his mistake, but he must be pitied fur lu deficiency iif understanding no man can be expected to reach these subjects, without much study and a determination to adopt no opinions which :e cot reasonable and intelligible jnd consistent with the freedom of man in society, protected in th pursuit of happiness, which ave the only end to be obtained by political science, anil without them all else is false." THE CONGRESS FRIGATE. Frcrt the Norfolk Herald. A triend has favored us with the following extracts of a letter received by him from an officer on board the United States' frigate Conj:rest dated kLintln Island 50 miles S. Canton 4th January, 1820. "Please inform- that these villainous Chinese have treated us with every possible indignity and inhospitality. In the first instance they refused every specicsof supply and necessity comyelled us 10 procure them from those who were hardy enough to bring them alongside at pight iu dcliance of the inter, diction. 44 We are forbidden to visit Canton, or pass the Bocca Ti. gris. We have been compelled to take passage in a Chinese boat and leave the ship at such time as would enable us to pass their batteries and gun boats un. lier cover of night, or take advantage of vessels bound to Canton. Our own boats were not allowed to enter the mouth of the river, as they would be fircd on the moment they cam: within gun shot; and although ten minutes active application of our broadsides would leave scarcely a stone standing cf their whitewash walls, wc arc compelled to put up with the indignity of their contemptible threats, and doubt not the poor dtviU ically tbhik they tmeef. f-uuitljf tiirtntd cs 1 1 v

"Our case is not, however, singu'ar, as regards the restrictions and indignities they impose on us, for they treat all for eign vessels of war in the same manner. There has been one or more instances of English men of war forcing their way into the river, nd hammering the rascals soundly, and it would afford us a great deal of satisfaction to show them similar marks of respect; but the pacific motive of our visit will not allow us that pleasure. Ocr supplies are at this time fuf nished from Macao, by permission ct the Mandarines, xvhich they consider a peculiar indulgence. Vc get under way to-morrow for Macao, and in a few -days sail for Manilla, which I am told is a most delightful place After this shabby country, any rendezvous will be agre cable. 0

Bv the following extract of a letter from a gentleman in New Orleans, dated May 15, it will be seen that that city has been visited by a severe calamity. "Last night a nit distressing Crc took place here near two timares were consumed by the devouring element among the buildings destroyed was that ot the United States Armory, which is estimated at '250,000 dollars. I am veli convinced that had we have had one hundred well disciplined Americana here wc could have quelled its devouring ravages in the onset. It took placein Chartres street, near the market house, in a frame buileing when not a brcea? was stirring. Governor Worthingr-m displayed grc.it and intrepid cxcit'ion and indeed all that was done of any service wis done by strangers.

FROM ENGLISH PAPERS. LONDON, Apt il l8. The prisoners yesterday, watched with the most intense solicitude, the evidence of Adams. And after it was conclu ded, Thistlewood turned round and spoke to his companions in a hurried ,and agitated tone. The whole of the prisoners were then taken back to their wards, where proper refreshments were provided for them. Part of the evidence cf Adams was of so horrible a character as to excite a universal shudder throughout the audience. Adams is himself a man of ill favored countenance. His eves are small and piercing, and he squints. When directed to approach the prisoners to identify them, he did so, with the strongest marks of fear. Some of the prisoners fixed their -ryes upon him with a malignant expredion, but they did net evince

any stirprizc at the details he was giving to the court. Davidson repeatedly laughed. All letters sent to Thistlewood are opened by Mr. Brown, the - Governor. Two were yesterday sent by post, directed to him, and delivered to him in court. They were, we understand, of a most extraordinary description, and Mr- Brown, on reading their contents, felt it his duty immediately to en

close them in a sheet of paper, and forward them across the court to Mr. Mauie, the solicitor of the treasury, who laid them before the attorney general. At a quarter before nine, the jury came into court, and at ten'ininutes after nine, the jurywere called over, when the prisoners were conducted in and placed at the bar. Thistlewood came first, his appearance was rather improved. The other prisoners took their stands behind Thistlewood, ir. the back part of the dock. Thistlewood applied, on his entering the court for a seat; and his request was immediately complied with. Davidson made a similar request, stating that he was render ed extremely unwell yesterday, by having hd to stand so many hours. The lord chief justice Abbott. They msy bring one or two more chairs, then, and you can relieve each other. The court by no means wish you should stand there all dy. Other chairs were now placed iu the dock The trial was then resumed, hnd several witnesses examined. -Lord Brcadclbanc and several othcrperson of distinction were in the court " house during the day, ind partook of that intert which the case excite 1.

The SheTidd "Mercury of April 13, mentions that there had been some nnaioations 01 a Fut" ular tumult in that town. Several placards had been posted on the walls. The following is one of them: 44 BE ON THE LEKT! !

J. G. Secretary. 4. Term, 20." We mentioned yesterday, upon the authority cf inteliigencc from Glasgow, th- a troop of Hussars, I rd Elcho's Edinburgh troop, and 20 of the Glasgow troop, with a piece of flying artillery, had set oft' at 1 1 o'clock on Thursday night, for Kilmarnock. We now learn that this detachment proceeded to Kilmarnock, Galston, and Newmills apprehended 16 ra dicals, who were Bent oil prisoners to Ayr, under the escort of the Edinburgh troop. The inhabitantsof thedifferent towns shewed no disposition to resist the military. It is said the person is in custody who stuck up the treasonable placard on the 1st of April, at Balfron. We hope this is true; for then, perhaps, a clue will he cbtjinci by which to

arrive at the writer and printer of that incendiary address. We are happy to learn tranquility is so completely restored at Hamilton and its neighborhood, that the different corp; collected in that quarter have marched for their respective homes. The following is an extract cf a letter from Gias gow, dated the 14th inst. It is written by a most respectable magistrate of that town, and contains information which may be relied upon: "Glasgow, April 1$. "I have been so much engaged about radicals and other public matters, as not to have had

time to think hardly cf any thing else. I send you a psper which will shew you what is going on here. The plans of those people were most extensively laid for 20 miles round this, and nothing but want of confidence in each other, and the terror that seized thebettcr kind of them, when they came to the immediate prospect of butchering theirneighborsand friends, prevented serious mischief. Many thousands -of them, however, were out in arms on Wednesday evening, the 5th of Apri!; but not more tian four or 500 got to. one point; and in every quarter the disappointment as to numbers was so great as to dispirit them entirely : they- counted on the people of England rising at the same time; also on C pieces of cannon from the Canon worts, in both whi:h they were disappointed. I can "assure you from what I ' know-confidently ot the matter, I look upon the situation of the manufacturing districts to be such as to give serious cause or alarm. -Unless some rising oe!cur in Llnchashire, :l think the storm will be over here, at least -for a time. Our official and confidential accounts from Mm. Chester to-day, are not no pleassing as we could wish. I hope, however, that all may continue quiet." "WAKEFIELD, ATRIL 14We have been informed that government have for some time been in posession ot information that a great and simultaneous movement was to take place on Wednesday list, through all the -commercial distiicts of the north. In consequence of this, and ot the pirticuiar information which he had person illy received, Gen. Sir John Byng determined to strike a -decisive blow, and, by surrounding a great body who were to assemble on Grange Moor, situated nearly midway between Wakefield and Hudderstield, to get as many as possible of them into his possession. The principal inhabitants of "Barnsley having also received information of the intended rising, as. scmbled on Tuesday evening and parties continually ' went out to patrol the town and its neighborhood. A little before midnight they received information, that a number of persons were assembled at Eanktop ; a great part of them armed with pikes, and some guns, and having with them 2 drums. About one o' clock these men brzan to move in different parties, taking dif

ferent 'routes, but avoiding the town, with the exception of six, who passed through together, each armed with a pike, and re-assembling on the road leading from Barnslcy to Iiuddersfield, to the number of four hundred men. They then commenccd their march in military order towards the appointed pUcc of rendezvous. At a small distance from the town they stopped at the house of a Mr. Packard, and drm.tn !rd his

arms; but, meeting with resW ance, they marched on r the house of Mr. George Hurt they obtained a gun. At Darton they stopped nth Rose and Crown Ir.n, and fa manded arms, and on being tZ fused, broke a pannel of the door. Mr. Richardson gJVe them three guns; when they marched torwaid. Other hou. ses were attacked in theirrnarclj until they arrived at the nk

for assembling, when formed under the wood bcloni ing to Whitley-hall. After son time, the cavalry from Hud derslicld appearing, they dig. persed into small groupes, ma. king for their homes by differ, en t routes. Of those who returned by way of Flockton, j were taken and sent to Hudderstleld. They stated that their party expected, on their arrival at the Moor, to hive met 50 or 60,000 companions in arms, and seeing nobod? they were completely dishearu ened, and exclaimed they were betrayed, and threw away their pikes,, many having first broken them across their knees, ONE DAY LATER FR&V ENGLAND.
