      I "was mistaken in saying that any soldiers are killed . There is one ( Sergeant Daly ) -wounded -with some slugs In the forehead , but not dangerously . Of the special constables , there are only two ¦ wonnded , viz ., ilr . II . Williams , ironmonger ; a shot had penetrated ihe forehead , and passing obliquely under the scalp , came out at the side of the head , ¦ without injuring , the bone .- . He is also cut upon he knee , and stabbed un trie side . A Me . Alorssn , a draper , is also s-ounded by a bill , but I hepe not dangerously .

      ( From ihe 2 Iorning Herald . J Bristol , Not . 4 , Eiiht o'Goci . I have jnst received by express , from Newport , particulars Of the following alarnvTyr riot : — Newport , Two o'GIock . The Chartists are in possession of the town . This morning about 9 , 'iiO of the most desecrate , headed by Prost , the es-iJaiistrate and Chartist demago ^ ua , marched into Ne-s ? port from the hills , Lsai' cd with muskets , suns , pistols , pikes , swords , ami other offensive -weapons , ( and , as I iave been told , two tm'i pieces of cannon , ) and cemmenced a violent attack on the Wtstgate Hotel , "where the magistrates -were sitting . Jho military -were called out , and as their attack -iras of tie most f taxxaous and bloody character , they "were obliged

      to fire u on thpm , and several have been kille ' , accounts Tary from berween ten and twenty . I have myself seeu ssTeialin oar yard . It is Teporwd that some of the soldiers are killed , but 1 cannot £ n : tow many . I inow that a Serjeant , named DJy . ¦ was -wounded -with slu ^ 3 in the forehead , and another Wounded in the arm , but 1 liope that neither of tkani axe dangerously injured . Some of the special cun-Btables have been wounded . Mr . H .

They charged the Ciarfists and pnS thfan to flight ia all ilirectianB , leaTin ^ seTeral hundreds of their " weapons in the streets .

      Three o'Ciock . I have jnst ascertained that the Mayor , T .

      anJ in the course of that day had collected about lO . Oyi ) m ? n , blowing oat all the furnaces as they proceeded , and pressing every man into their service , chii-Hy from the neighbourhood of Blackivood , i ' oiit-y-Poolj and Caerfiily .. . ¦ » .. ' . At ii'ur o ' clock on Monday morning the rioters halted , being then near the beautiful seat of Sir C . ilor ^ au , Tredeager-park , about three miles from Nc .-port , and waited till six o ' clock , for a fresh hody of ii ; surgent 3 to join them from Pont-y-pool . At about ten o'clock they divided themselves into two bodies ; one , under the command of Mr . John Frost , ex-inairistrate and Chartist delegate , marched down Cliarlcs-street , the principal street ; and the other under the direction of Mr . Frost ' s son , a lad of about fourteen , took the direction of Stowe-hill . _ fe ^ S ™ S ^^^

      The two divisions met at the Westgate Hotel , where the magistrates were assembled , and after giving three cheers for the Charter , commenced a most furious attack on the Hotel . Every window in tha house was broken , and the slugs from the guns and mu .-kets were flying in all directions . ^ The mayor J . Tiiiilips , Esq ., was wounded , and several of the respectable inhabitants , who were acting as special constab e 3 , as mentioned in my previous account . The soldiers made a sally , and gallantly charged the rioters , who , after a show of resistance , fled , leaving a great quantity of arms in the streets , nine of their misguided companions dead , and now lying in the yard of the hotel , and about twenty wounded , many t > f ihein mortally . The main body then retrcaied into the fields ; amongst them their leader , Frost , made bis escape .

      it is very generally expected that an an attempt will be made to lire the town to-night . Several coiiiinr . dica ' . ions have been received in Bristol tonighi , which rather confirm this impression , added to which the comparatively defenceless state of the town yiakes me extremely fearful that some such hoiribie attempt day be made . It appears to have been the intention of the rioters to have taken posse : ? ion oi and pillaged ^ Newport , atd then to have marched on Monmoiith to liberate Vincent and his v > mpaulori 3 from gaol- They have solemnlv sworn that Yinoent shall not remain in prison after the 5 th of November , and it is low extremely doubtful whether or not an attempt "• rij made to release Vincent simultaneously with ihe attack at Mevrport . The greater exeijeme t prevail ? throngbout South Wales . The guard of the mail stales that from 7000 to 10 , 000 mea were col-Sit tU g o-i the hillsiear llisca , aud it was expected tiuii an a ; tack "would be made at Brecon aad

      Aler-: iiyr . Ihe magistrates of Cardiff had , however , bee-i apprised of the intettioss . of these wretched me , acd had been sitting during the whole of Su : day inght ; and to-day all the respectable ichabiia is were sworn in as ^ pecial constables , and the militia snd cavalry called out . Six pieces of cannon were planted in the streets , so that it is hoped these precautionary measures will prevent any such serious attempt being made as that at Newport . The following , amongst other private letters , have been at the Commercial Rooms here ( Bristol ) , and the greatest excitement prevails : — " Extract of a letter , dated Newport , 2 , a . m ., November 9 .

      There is sad work here : the Chartists are coming down from the hills in great numbers , a ^ d all vf them well armed . Several stragglers have been lakea : one had a sword , pistol , ammunition , and a large iron hammer about his person ; aud some others Lad pikes . A gentleman from this town was sent on horseback last night to Risca , to reconnoitre , aiid was attacked : he had a wour . d in his groin six or seven inches long : he was also fired at . We are ail consTaoles . I have been up all night . The soldiers Lave been under arms since yesterday ; and an express was sent last night to Bristol formore . iiiformaiioa has been received that the Chartists intend to break open the gunmakers' shops , and march to 31 onmouth to liberate Vincent . Business i < at a complete stand still . 1 have just learnt that dve or ^ ix thousand are marching on Sir Charles Morgan ' s seat at Trcdeagef . "

      Extract of a letter received by Mr . Mr . John FiJi ^ r , wine-merchant , Bristol : — u Our town is in a state of riot . We have had a most dreadful riot ; in fact , it is not over yet , as we fully expect the Coartists will > et lire to the town u > -n ;^ ht . Dead bodies are lyii : g in the streets . There are about twelve killed , and a irreat mauy - vo ; 2 di .-d . They came down ia a to ^ of about i ! 0 , 0 <> 0 , from the iron-works . We esj e « t about " 200 ^ ulxiiers by the packet , fTom Bristol , immediately . No person is allowed to go out of his house . Nearly all the families have left the town . " We have received the following letter from a correspondent in Monmouth : — "Newport , Nov . 4 , 1 S 39 . v "With the most intense grief I have to announce that the delusion of Chariism has led to a lamentable tragedy in thia town .

      " Reports yesterday reached the Mayor ( Thomas Phillips , jun ., ) and the authorities that the Chartists employed at the works about Treuejrar and other establishments on the hills were arming , and would march upon Newport . "Every precaution which ^ oald he adopted in tho interim was taken by the Mayor . At an £ arly Lour this morning hundreds of colliers and other mining workmen were seen approaching the town , numbers armed with pikes , some with guns and pistols , and the great body with heavy bludgeons . At abont nine o ' clock in the morning an immense body of those infatuated and unfortunate wretches assembled menacingly before the Westgate Hotel , where the Mayor and inaistrateswere assembled

      ^ . They soon commenced an an attack upon the premises , breaking the windows , and firing at the soldiers , a detachment of the 4 oth . The Riot Act was immediately read' by the Mayor , and the soldiers were ordered to-fire , but notunvil several of the Chartists had broken into the hor < n . The work of death then began ; fourteen Chartists were killed on the spot , and several ¦ wounded . And I lament to icform you that the mayor , whose coolness and bravery are above praise , "was severely wounded in the arm . Mr . Blewitt , M . P ., and the other magistrates distinguished themselves by their coolness and efforts to avert the calamity . I will write you by the next post . We are instate of siege . ( From the Morning Herald . ) Mr . -, surgeon says : — " I have seen nine dead , and have attended several more . wLo I am sure will die . It is dreadful work . At the time I write this my shirt-sleaves are saturated with blood . " ( From ihe Times . ) The fo'lowing ia a postcript to a letter received on Tuesday morning from Pontypool : — . " Another outbreak of the Chartists occurred hist niiht ; cur town has been full of confusion : the eoldiers are expected to arrive this morning . "

      GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT . Wednesday . . Government have Teceived to-day full details from ? ve ^ vport ad the districts in the neighbourhood , of which the following is the substance . Since the severe loss and check sustained by the rioters on Monday morni--g , it doe 3 not appear there has bee--i aiy farther Tiolecce or breach of the peace , and the deluded men are believed to be entirely dispersed . : 'The Magistrates are busily occupied in taking measures of precaution , but the danger is believed to be at an end . Frost , and a great number of other persons , have been arrested ; lu the neighbourhood of Brecon , the furnaces hadheen blown out , as in other parts of the district , in the course of Monday , and the workmen had come into the town , bnt up to ille hour of the post leaving it yesterday , there had

      oeen no attempt at violence . A part of-the depot of the 12 th regiment are stationed in thiB town , and a large body of special constables have been sworn in . No apprehensions are , therefore , entertained of a breach of the peace . The force which has been ordered to the districts of Newport and Monmonth , consisting of eight companies of the 45 th Regiment , and two field pieces , are proceeding by forced maiehe 3 . Their presence will be fully sufficient to restore again a feeling of security , and will effectually provide for the tranquillity of the country . . We have just seen a letter , written from Newport yesterday , by an eye-witnes 3 , a gentleman of that place , vrho was engaged in repelling the Chartists . I : states that twenty-five persons were killed , and more than one hundred wounded ; and that they , hare made fortr prisoners .

      It is one rather satisfactory feature in the Newport riot , that no person on the side of the insur gents has been injured except those who actually made the attack . We understand that those who ftll were at the moment rushing on th » soldiers , at T , 'lnini they had fired without doing any injury , up the hall or passage of the inn , and were all shot by - ? ' I ' - 'ltay as they were advancing . The movement issaid to have been most extensively combined , and a much greater force wa 3 expected to join in the operations . On Sunday night , however , the - . veatner was remarkably bad , which prevented the wJioie oody from assembling , and made the attack ldaeh Je ? s serious and more insane in appearance tnan Mr . Frost and his friends intended . —Sun .

      Newport , Nov . , 5 , 1839 . All is now calm ; Newport is saved , and the infatuated Chartists have fled to their homes , deeply deploiicg their insane caaiidence in unprincipled

      and cowardly demagogues .. Lohn Frost , " the great Chartist leader of tho Convention j and correspondent of Lord John Russell , whose forbearance he abused , is now a prisoner at the Westgate Hotel—a prisoner undera charge of high treason . A reward of £ 100 was offered for his apprehension as a leader of the Chartist insurrection , and he was taken last night at a Chartist printer ' s house . He had three loaded pistols , a powder flask filled , and a large quantity of bullets were found onhispersoe .

      Sixteen men were killed , and a largo number , not yet ascertained , wonnded . Too much praise cannot be paid to Mr . Blewitt , M . P ., Depaty-Lteutenant of the county , who acted after Mr . Phillips , the Mayor , was woundedVto Mr . Coles , and Mr . Brower , the Magistrates ; to Mr . Dowling , Mr . Lewis Edwards , andthebrave Lieutenant Gray , and his company , and the special cocstableB . The sergeant of the company received a slug in his forehead ) but it has been extracted , and he is doing well ; the brave Mayor is better .

      The Times of Wednesday , in a second edition , has a letter , of which the following is an extract : — "I last night searched the house of Mr . Frost for treasonable and seditious pape ^ B , and possessed myself of all his manuscripts , and I also searched the house of his printer , a fellow of the name of Partridge ^ where I met with some resistance , and was obliged to force my way in . To my great astonishment , on my entering into the house ^ the h ' rst person who met me was John Frost , for whoso apprehension £ 100 had beea offered . I immediately secured him , his printer Partridge , and another person also , I found there concealed . On Frost ' s person were found oue brace and a half of pistols , a flask full of powder , and a large quantity of balls aud

      caps ; and on the other prisoner' 1 found two brace of pistols and a largo quantity of gunpowder and balL Froct , Partridge , and about a dozen others are now iu custody , the former charged with treason and sedition . The town during tho past night has been tranquil , and nothing like a 'disturber-of the peace was to be heard or seen ; Only-one of the milit ary , a sergeant , has been hart , and he not seriously . Several of the inhabitants have : been wounded . Mr . Morgan , a respectable draper , residing in Commercial-street , was shot in the chest , and is now lying in a dangerous state . It is duo to all'the iahabifanta to say-that they are entitled : to great credit , and that every man among them has nobly performed his duty .

      Our Member , and highly respected neighbour , Mr . Blewit , has been constantly at his postj and indefatigible in jthe '" performance of his Magisterial duties . Tfie Magistrates wi : l sit this morning to hear and investigate the charges against the prisoners , and you shall again hearfrom me to-morrow with further information . t ^? r - Blewitt-has , by this day ' s post , written to Lord Normauby , strongly advising the issuing of a special commission for the immediate trial of tho prisoners . .

      -. V ~*^^ r * SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES BANK , AND MOST OP THE OTHER BANKS IN THE

      UNION . Tbe Liverpool steam-sni p , which arrived on "Wednesday at Liverpool , brought the serious intelligence that the United States Bank , and most of the other Banks of ; he Union had suspended cash payments . It appears that the cause of the suppension o specie payments by the United Sutea Bank m not tbe rews received Irom Europe by the Liverpool that the draft * of that establishment had been dishonrHT-ed by Messra . Hottinguer at Paris . The Bank had pievlcu ^ ly brought itstlf into a situation of extreme difficulty , and on tha day before the arrival of the above news by the Liverpool , natntly on the -9 th of October , the ' Directors dettrmined to suspend pacing their notes in specie . This cxamph

      on the part of the Wading American Bank , was immediaitlyfjUo ^ ed by all the other Bank ^ of Pwnn--sjlvania , Maryland , Virginia , the Carolina ? , and in fact all the Southern States , as well aa by thege of Rhode Island . The Banks of New York and Bjston , having previously acted with great caution , continued to pay in specie , and expseted to be » ble 19 pt-navere in that course . It was alao thought that the New Orleans Banks might weather the storm without a suspension . But wi h thess exceptions , the whela of the Union is again snbject to an incon vertible paper currency ; w hi ok , we scarcely need add , implies panic , discredit of all !> ank paper , suspension vj business , the disappearance of specie , and the utmost difficulty in carrying on even the ordinary purchases required for dubsisteuee .

      In Philadelphia there wa < so great a want of chang « that the trdinary transactions of retail trade could tcarcely be carried " on . Yet the Bank of the United States ia said to have £ 1 , 755 ^ 000 of bullion in its cofferii . The pdicy of Mesirs . Hottinguer i 3 now too plainly vindicated . The fall in the price of United State 3 Bank Btock has been tnmendoua . The shares wfcTe quoted on the 7 th of September at 1043 ^ , which was lower than they had ever been except wnen PresidentJackson refused to renew the charter , at which tirae they felltolOl ^ . But on ths 18 th ult . they opened at 78 in New York , and in the course of that day ftll to 72 , at which price they stood at the -. latest advices !

      The commotion produced hereby in Liverpool and Maneneeter will be fearful ; and the consequences are like ' . y to be truly deplorable . The derangement of domestic exchanges is more emharraasing than ever at any period during the late war .

      THE YORKSHIRE SMUGGLERS . Chancellor Kent , a high trass-Atlantic -jtidicfel authority has decided that the late immense seizures of Yorkshire woollens were illegal , inasmuch a * they had passed the custom ' * scrutiny , and bees delivered to the parties importing them . He maintains that bo seizure caa be legally made under such circumstances ; that the officers are bound to detect whatever violation of customs may have been C 6 mmitted before parting with the goods .
