The fall of stock is ascribed to the dis
orders and arrests at Manchester.

We Rive the following extract of a let
ter received in Liverpool :=aa A large body
of men were yesterday marching from
Manchester and the neighbourhood to Lon
don," for the purpose, it is said, of petition
ing in perso:i. They were impeded in
* their progress, ami thrown into. con fusion
1 at Lancashire b idge in Stockport, by the
dragoons and veotmmry suctioned there,
and dispersed various ways ; but many ar
livrd here m the evening, in straggling
parties* ami numbers are gone by the way '
of Wiltnslow and Buston and ether loads.
It cheated no small alarm in this part
c? the country."

We insert, today, the copy of a Me
morial a*crrbed ta hoN*PAR*ric, in which,
be- complains of the severity with which
. his person is guarded' The situation of
this* extraordinary persortage is such, that
Tw kffown tews or regulations strictly af>
ply to it j and whilst we abhor the princi
ple of excessive rigour, were his fate" to
depend upon our. will, he should never
quit his present place of confinement. ?
The peace of the wot Id r quires it, which
wpuld not probably last three months after
his liberation. His situation is worthy of
pity, but, alas, It is irremediable.

Oenkual, * "
1 have received the treaty of the 3d of
August* ISlSt concluded between l is U4-?
tannic Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, -
the Emperor of Russia, and the King of
Prussia, which accompanied your letter of
tho 23d of Juijr. : : ^
The Emperor NTapoleon protests against
the contents of that treaty , he is not the
prisoner of England. Alter having placed
sentative* oi the nation, for the advantage
of the i ^institution adopted by the French
people , and in favor of his son% he repair
ed voluntarily and freely to England, with
the view of living there, a? ,a private in
dividual, under the protection of the Bri
tish Jaws* The violation of every'law can
not constitute aright. Thb'peffion of the
Emperor Nepoleon is actually in the power
ot England-~but, he neither has been, no*
i*, in the power, of Austria, Russia and
Prussia, Either in fact or of right ? evpn
according to (he laws and custom* of .Eng
land* which never included, in the ex
change of pri: *.ers? Russians, Prussians,
Austrian#, Spaniards, or Portuguese, tho'
united to these powers by treaties of alii*
ance and war conjointly with thenu
.The Convention ofrthc2d of August,
concluded fifteen dmys afler the Emperor
was in En^and, cannot nave of right any
effect, ? It exhibits only a spectacle of the
condition of the four *<re itest powers of
Europe for the oppression of a hihgte man !'
a coantion which the opinion of every na
tion, a&d all Hie principles of sound ik. oi ali-*
ty, equally disavow.
. Tl\fe Emperorb of Austria and Russia,
and the King oi Prussia, huving neither in
fact or in right any claim over the person
of the Empeiar rJapolcon, could decide
Rj*MM?pp>rcsp?cting him. -
4 tad the Emperor Napoleon been in the
pow,*r.of Emperor of Ausria, that
rrince would have recollected relations
which Religion- and Nature l ave formed
Itivteen a fa'her and a relations which
are never violated with impunity. ,
fie would hate recollected that Napoleon
!<ad /cur times restored tO\him his throne.

1804? .when his armies were under the
wails of Vienna? at Presburg in 1806,
and at Vieniia in 1809, when his armies
'had possession of the capital, and three
? - fourths of the Monarchy! That Prmce
would have recollected the |>rott stations he
fade to Napoleon Kt the Aiv&uac in Mora
n, in U06, and at the interview in Ures
is in 1812/ > ..
' Had the person of ttwr Emperor Napo
leon been in ihe i>ower of the Emperor Al
exander, hewottHl have recollected tli?- tie*
of friendship conrrtteu.d atTHftit, at Er
furth\ during i wive year % 0/ daily tor
rrrfvtulrficr.
' He wbuld have rf collected the conduct
of the fctnpefor Napoleon on the day after
thfb*Ule of AnttcrliU; when, though he
could have made him, with the wreck of
? bis army, firL**ncr, he coniemed himself
with taking lr\k parole, and allowed Imu
to tffect his retreat, tie would have re
colltcted the dangers to which the Kmper
or Napoleon personally exposed himself in
I order to extinguish the tire at frlo.srpw,
and to preserve that capital for him ? as
suredly, that Prince would never have >io
r lated the duties of friendship and gratitude
to ward 4 a friend in misfortune.
-Had the \? rson of the Kn.peror Napo
I Won bepn in tnc power ol the King of Prus
sia, thai Hnyc_reifili CQiilfl havr forgiM
ten that it depended dn the Emperor, after
the battle of Fried land, piarr another
Prince on the throne of ilerliu. He wpuLd.
not have forgotten, in the presence of a
tachment, and the sentiments of grati
tude, which he testified to him, in 1812,
at the interview in Dresden.
, It accordingly appears, from Article# 2
and 5, of the treaty of the 2d of August*
that these Princes being incapable oi ex
ercising any influence over the disposal of .
the Emperoiy^yho was not in their power, 1
accede to wttit may be done thereon by
| his Br>trm?c Majesty, who takes upon
himself the c barge of fulfilling every obfi^
gation. Thtse princes luve reproached
lite Kmpe or Napoleon with having pre
ferred tUc protection; oi the LugiUn laws
to theits The ideas which the Em
peror Napoleon' Dtttl fptaied of the liberali
ty of ihe laws ofjFlngland and of the in
fluence of the opinion of a greaqy^r nerous,
and free people over their- government,
decickd him to prefer- the protection of
(/war laws to that ol a /cithcr-in-luiu, or an
old friend.
The lLftvp.ror NapoUron had it In fits
po-^er to secuie, by a, Diplomatic Treaty,
whatever was personal to himself, by put
ting himself either at the head ol the ar
my of the Loire, -.or at the, head of the ar
my of the Gironde, commanded by Gene
ral Ch'.uselt but wishing. h#prefnrthT
^otl>ing but retirement and the protection
of the laws ot a free stale, either Kngland
?r American, all stipulations appeared to
him unnecessary. lie conceived that the.
English people were more hound by a con
duct which was on his part frank,
noble, and full of Confidence. He
has been dectivcd% but this error
yill forester -cause true Britons to'
bki9h,Aand will, in the present as
well arc the future gencrations^be a |
proof of the bad faith- o? the Eng
lish Administration.
Austrian and Prussian Commis
sioned are arrived at St. 'Helena.
If the object ot their mission be
rhe fulfilment of e. part of the du- |
ties which the Emperors of Austria
ahd Russia have contracted by the
treaty of the 2d of August, and to.
take care that the Engli*h Agents,
in a small colony in the midst of
the ocean, do not fail in the respectr
due to a prince connected with these
sovereigns hy 'the "bonds of rela
tionship, and so many other ties,
proofs of the character which be
long to these two Monarchs will be
recognised in this proceeding ; but
you sir, have declared, that these
Commissioners have neither the
right nor the powfcr of giving vany
opinion on what may be passing on
this rock.
The English ministers have caused
jthe Emperor Napoleon to be trans
ported po Sc. Helena! at 4 the dis
tance of ,2000 leagues from Eu
rope# This rock, situated within
the tropics, and 50O leagues from
'any continent, is subject to the de
vouring he-its of these latitudes. It
is covered with clouds and fogs
during three-fourths * of the year,
ami \? at once the most arid and the
most humid country in the world.
Such a climate is most inimical to
the health of the Emperor * and
hatred must have dictated the choice
of fhis relfcdepce, as well as the in
structions v given by the English,
ministry to the officers command
I ing in the Island.
They have even been ordered to
call the Erpperor Napoleon General ,
as if it were wished to oblige him
to consider himself as never having
reigned in Franc-.
Xhe reason which determined
him not tr> assume an incognito as he
might have resolved to do on leav
ing Fr-mce, were these: First Ma
( gistratcs for life of the Republic
under the title of First Consul, he
concluded the Preliminaries or Lon
don and the Treaty q f Amiens with
the King of Great Britain; and
received as ambassadors, Lord
Cornwallis, Mr. Merry, and Lord
-Whitworth, who resided in that)
quality at his court.
He accredited to the King of
England, count Otto and Gen. An
dreossi, who resided as ambas-a- "
dors at the court of Windsor.
When, after an exchange of letters
between the ministers, for Foreign
-Affairs? ot the two Monarchies.
Lord Lauderdale came to -Paris iu
ycstcd vyith full power .from the
King of. England ? he treated with
the Plenipotentiaries possessing full
powers from the Emperor Napo
leon, and remained for several
"months at the couit of the Thuil
leries ; when Lord Castlereagh af
terwards signed, at Chatillon, the
Ultimatum, which the allied powers
presented to the plenipotentiaries
of the Emperor Napoleon* here
cognised by that the fourth dynasty.
This Uttimatum was more advan
tageous- than the treaty of Paris ; ~
but in exacting that Franr
denounce Belgium and the left bank "
tJf die Rhine, it exacted what was
contrary to the propositions of
l'lankiort, and the proclamations
of the allied powers ? what was con
trary to the oath, by whiclr, at his
corronqtion, the Emperor swor,' r.>
maintain the integrity of that Lm
pire. The Emperor besides, tho't
that these natural limits were neces
sary, both for the security of.
France and to' preserve the equili
brium of Europe 5 he thought that 1
the t rcnch nation, 4n the situation
in which it was, ought rathei tu
ruo the hazard of all the chances
of war than to depart from that po
hcy?Francc had obtained thw in
tegrity and would have preserved
I it with , honor, if treason had not
arrayed itself in aid of rhe -iHfo.
i. '1 he Treaty. of the ad of A ugust,
and ,, the Act of the British Parlia
ment called the Emperor Napoleon
Bynaparte, and gave him only the
tule of Genera). The title of Gen
eral Bonaparte is doubtless ..eminent
ly glorious; the Emperor bore it
?at Lodi, at Castiglione, at Rivcli,
at Arcole, atLeoben, at the Pyra
nnids, at Aboukii^ but for 17 years
_he has borne that of First Consul
and Emperor, which proves that
he has been both First Magistrate
of the ? Republic;, and the Sovcr-"
eignof the fourth'dynasty. Those
who think that nations are flocks
which belong of divine right to cer
tain families, do not belong to the
age ; nor do they participate in the
spirit of the English Legislature ;
which h?9 several t i mes' changed
the order of its Dynasty, because
great changes had taken place in
public opinion, in which the reign
ing Princes not participating, they
became enemies 'to the welfare of
the great majority of the nation j
for Kings aie only hereditary Ma
gistrates, who exist for the welfare
_ of. nations, and not nations fur the
satisfaction of Kings.
