On Monday the 16th of August,
the Keforin meeting was held at Man
chester. There were not less at
this meeting than 100,000 people
collected from the villages round for
twenty miles. Orator Hunt was the
leader. The approach of the differ
enf bodies of the deluded populace,
of which it was constituted, was
made with all manner of ou * aril
display, in order to impose forbear
ance on the civil authorities. Ban
ners and hands of music added their
effect to the march of the different
divisions of the reformers, which
?was conducted with something like!
military precision. ? Among the for- 1
mer were several bearing the follow- i
jng inscriptions and devices ? " Let '
u4 die like men, and not heimld as
slaves !" ? No Corn Laws ? Annuul
Parliaments, anil Universal Suf
frage. ? Major Cartwright's Bill? j
The Rose, supported on each side
by the Shamrock and Thistle, with :
two hands united, and the word
Union among them. Three differ-;
ent flags, hearing the cap of liberty, '
on the flag staff. " Equal Repre
sentation or Death .'?Taxation, with
false representations, is uiytist ami
tyrannical."
Women, in considerable numbers,
were united to these processions, and ?
advanced with them to the general
place of meeting fa Peter's Square.
When 'every thing of preliminary
arrangement bad concluded, Hunt, I
with his immediate party, mounted i
a platform prepared for tlicir recep-i
lion, from whence lie proceeded to
Address the multitude. His haran
gue was suffered to go on one hour,,
until the riot act had been read in due '
form,* and then be was interrupted
by a body of cavalry, acting under
the orders of the civil magistrates.
They made a Aill charge in full gal
lop, amongst the crowd to the plat,
form on which he was placed, cut it
down with their swords, and took
Hunt and all on the stage prisoners. !
They then made a second charge to
disperse the people, io which hun
dreds were thrown down and rode |
over. Kive lost their ?lrves, and
about too were severely wounded.
All continues confusion till evening,
when the mob broke some windows
in the New Cross. The 88th foot
then fired on tnem and killed four
men; they were assailed by the
molt with stones and brickbats; and
one dragoon was knocked down by
a blow, and has since died. On the
i7?h, all was alarm, and the streets
?crowded with militia. Orders were
Issued for all the shops to be closed,
and it vms reported that sot.-.e thou
sands were, coming to Manchester
with pikes snd arms. Cannon was
placed in the streets, but the molt
seemed desperate, and determined
to bovu revenge. Hunt, Johnston,
Knight, Moorhouse,' Sexton, snd
the other leaders of the Reformers,1
were imprisoned fa seperate cells. .
Disturbances are said to have
broken out in Sicily. * '

" The Couit, pursuant to ol der,
continued its proceedings on board
the Guerriere, until the evidence was
closed and sentence passed, w hen ii
was adjourned to meet an shore af
\ A'aples, the ue*t day, in conse
quence of the Judge Advocate, m here
I having revised *nd signed the record,,
the Court then adjourned, " without
!: " The proceedings and tentence
being sent to the Commander in chief
for his approbation, (as the law re
quires) were by him declared illegal
and of no effect?; first, because the
Court had been held on shore, in
disobedience of his order inquiring
it to be held on bomd the Gurritre;
and secondly , that it had been held
where the United Htates had no ju
risdiction? consequently^ having no
jurisdiction there over the offence
I charged against the prisoner, lie was
| ordered to be discharged from aiv
rest, and the proceedings against
him annulled.
" The Commander in chief revi
ved the Court by signal to * receive
this Communication, to which by
way of remark he added, that " sat
isfied these irregularities on " th*
? part of the Court had -proceeded
4< from inadvertence, he should not

? but trusted that in any further pro

"not escape to the pujudioe of the

"The Commodore considers the
Court to have then dissolved, al
though he made no order to that ef
fect, as is customary.
" TheJ^otwt were of opinion that
this Communication of the Commo
dore should form part of their record,
and as he had not returned it to them
they requested it of him for that pur
pose, which wat| complied with;
atid the Court wefe An ther of opin
ion that the lauguage used by the
Commodore in his communication
wm a censure upon their proceedings
??an uryustifiable interference with
the, noleir.ii deliberations of the Court,
who, as a body , were perfectly inde
pendent of liisconttol, and without
?vthe pale of his reproof. ? Not bav

The Court did meet, and a resolu
tion was unanimously passed to that
effect, but the squadron being order

" He (the Comttodore) considers

t he Court was no longer in being, he
having, as he had an undoubted right
to do, antiuled its proceed ings, and
discharged the prisoner. ? That a
signal made (wltiltx he w as present)
ordering the court to meet was a con
tempt to I. is |K)wer, and the meeting
of the o Ulcers for that object, an
usurpation of authority to erect them
selves into a tribunal contrary to law,
and for no other purpose than tQ^
bring him iuto contempt and to vio- j
late the fundamental rules enacted

of the service."
" The Members of the. Court dis
avow^' such an intention, and oiler
their tribute of respeCt to the person

I) TED ? Ou the 28d August, on
hoard U. S. Schooner Nonsuch, at
the moment of Imr ai rival at Port
Spain, in the Island of Trinidad,
Commodore OLIVER H. PER.
KY. He was taken with the yel
low fever on his passage from the
To*n of Augostura, and although
he was attended by two able pbysi
crans, lie w as reduced to t lie greatest
extremity on the fourth day of his
illness. Sensible of his approach
ing dissolution, he called his officers
together, and communicated his last
wishes.
He retained his faculties to the
last ? was perfectly collected and
resigned, and submittedjo his fate
with great resolution and fortitude.
His remains were interred at Port
Spain, on the 24th August, with
!Naval and Military honours. The
troops of the Island, a great con
course of citizens, together with the
officers and crews of the John JlfamB
and JVbitauch formed the procession.
The funeral was splendid and im
posing, and there appeared to he but
one sentiment of mournful regret,
among all who assembled to witness
this melancholy spectacle.? Tht con
duct of the governor, Sir Ralph
Woodford, on this occasion, was
marked wiih distinguished respect
towards the deceased, and every
American should feel great ful to him
for the honours which lie paid to the
remains of their gallant couutrymau.
It was the wish of the officers of
the squadron that the body should
l>e immediately carried to the United
States, but the Surgeons were of
(opinion that it would have been ut
terly impracticable.
,\Ve are happy to learn, by this
i arrival, that the 'affairs of the Patri
ots in Venezuela are in a moat pros
perous and flourishing condition. ?

Two days before the JVoiwuch
ailed from Angostura, for Trinidad,
a sj4oi#!i4 public* dinner w as given
to Com. Prm/ and his officer*, at
which many of the most distinguish*
fit civil and military officers were
present. On the following day, tbe
new c onstitution of the Republic was
signed, amidst the roar of artillery
and the acclamations of the people-.
The U. 8. schr. Nonsuch, under

a majority of her officers and crew
suffered jpost severely.
On the 14th inst. off Capo H:\t
teras, the John Adams experienced
a tremendous gale of wind, which
lasted 8 days, during which the nhip
sprang her raizeti mast and sustained
other damage in her spars.
The frigate C onstellation, Capt.
Wadsworth, got under weigh yester
day, from her anch rage in. the Rile
of Craney Island, and came too in
Hampton Roads, where, we sup
1K)se, she will w ait for further order*

! the arrival of the John Adams.
To the friendly attention of Lieut.
I Omd't. ClajH-on, we are indebted
I for a file of the Port of Spain Ga
| xeite, from 6tl? to 28lli August ?
From the last date we have exiract
ed the following handsome tribute to
the remains of our. late Naval Wor
thy, the brave, the generous, the
gallant OLIVER H. PERRY,
Esq'r^ of whose premature death it
wa8 our unwelcome duty to give the
first sad tidings in the bvacqn of this
morning.
DIED? Cn Monday evening, the
28d inst. Commodore Outkh Haz
ard Peury, of the United States*
Navy, at the early age of 34. lie
wan dispatched by his Go\ ernment
with the Bhip of \\ ar John Adams,
and Schooner JSonsuch , on a mis
sion to Au^pstura, the seatef.tho
lnsuraent Government, on the Main. 4
After staying there Home time, the
John Adams nailed for this Port,
leaving Commodore Perry, with
the Hchr. J\)m*uch9 at the before
mentioned place, until the object of
his mission should be fulfilled.
I When this was accomplished he
hastened to join the John Mams ,
and in two days arrived at the Mouth
of the Orinoco, from Augostura,
and embarked on board the Schr,
JSvnsuch. ? He had, before embark
ing, a slight attack of fever, which
rapidly increased after the vessel
sailed ; aud, notwithstanding every
exertion which was made to shorten
the voyage, and. hasten his arrival
at this place, w here every assistance
and convenience could be procured,^
they were upwards of five days 01*
the passage. As soon as the Non
such had anchored in the Gulph, at
whkh time bis fever had arrived to
an alarming crisis, be was repoved
to the John Mayns , and in a quarts
of an hour breathed bis last, in his
death, his country will have to la
ment the loss of one of her bratest
and most intelligent Naval officers
?private society, that of ope. of the
most accomplished of its members.
He has left a widow and four chil
dren (who reside in Newport, Rhode
Inland,) to deplore his untimely fate,
by whom, and bis brother Officers,
he will long be remembered with
love and regret.
On the following day his remains
were attended to the grave with
every mark of attention and respect
on the part of the Civil and Military
Authorities, and* the Inhabitants, of
this Town in general. At 4 o'clock,
P. M. the 3d West India Regiment
was marched to the King's Vvharf,
to receive the corpse, and about h
o'clock, the boat, with the body,
left the John Adams, that ship firing
minute guns until its arrival at tho
(Vharf, when Fort 8 1. Andrew
commenced the same ceremony,
which continued until the Procession
