Yet they owe much to the prudent forbiarence as well as active persoMd attentions of the Magistrates. Matters are, however, at length arrived at such a point, that decision becomes a duty, . . . and we refer our Readers with sincere satisfaction to the Pours Malice issued under their signature, wherein they explicitly state what will be their future line of conduct, and their ream: for that conduct. These are explained with such justness and pro priety, that they will carry with them the approbation of all men of judgment and humanity. The put week has been one of continued alarm and confusion. Night and day the Police Officers and Military have been in request, crowds have been moving in various directions, and distracting reports have kept all housekeepers under alarm. It is become quite necessary that energy with lawful means should restore the public peace to something like its wonted stability. It is sufficient for us, how ever, to give a narrative of facts; the kingdom at 14k . Will draw its own conclusions from them. We are happy to add, that the town is strengthened by the arrival of more military as well as by the presence of General Sir Joint Brea, commander of the District. " Joss Muter, Esq. the Coroner, having summoned a most' respectable Jury, proceeded yesterday to investigate the cause of the death of Thomas Brookes, the spinner, aged 22, who lied in the Inflrtnary on Thursday morning, in consequence of the wounds he received in the attack made on Mr. Gave, factory about noon on the Wednesday. It appeared in the course of the eridence that he was a most active assailant on that occasion and the Jury, after a patient investigation of eight hours, during which many witnesses were examined who were spectators of the whole transaction, returned a Verdict of JUSTIFIABLE Host". cm: on the part of the defenders of the Mill. Indeed it is hardly necessary to repeat an axiom which has been maintained and en forced so often by our enlightened Judge, that it is lawful and r right for men to defend their property, and if assailed, to have recourse to the most severe remedies for its preservation." " PUBLIC CAUTION. " Whereat; the Town of Manchester has ror some time put been greatly disturbed and agitated by the assembling of multi tudes of persons, engaged in unlawful Combinations, who have walked in procession through the public street+ LI And whereas, within the last two days, Outrages of a most daring and desperate nature have been committed by the Jour- neymen Cotton Spinners and others, who hare obstructed the peaceable and well-disposed Inhabitants in the lawful pursuit of their trade, and hare attacked the Mills and 9011111 of the Mas ters, where their Spinners have been at work • • ' 4 Now we the undersigned, Magistrates fjr the Division of Manchester, do declare, that we have wi , h cle, , p regret observed the long continuance of these Assemblies and Processions.of the voluntarily unemployed Labourersin the different Trades,of this District, which we have forborne to interfere with, in the hope that the good sense of the Individuals concerned th...rei4 would have returned, and that the peace And order of the "I"_ . 9wn would have been restored without re,otting to strong legal mea'sures; but inasmuch as forbearance has had the erect only of producing evils of a more dangerous tendeney, we fi:el ourtelves bound publicly to pronounce, that the before-mentioned Assemblies and Processions are in our- judgment illegal, and dangerous to the public peace. " And we hereby caution all Persons henceforward to abstain from engaging in such proceedings ; and we earnestly recom mend all persons to remain in their own houses, or at their lawful occupations, and avoid going into any parts of the town where these disorders may prevail. " And we do further declare our determination to disperse and prevent such unlawful and dangerous Assemblies and Pro cessions as may after this notice appear in the public streets; — and by all lawful meahs to,protoct the well-disposed and indus trious, and to bring we justice such as shall be found offending against the laws.—Witness our hands, this 4th Sept. 1818. a R.

" The Weavers some time since published an Ad. dress to their Employers, stating that their wages were insufficient to procure them the means of sub sistence, and praying for an advance of 33 per cent. As this was an address to a body acting individually, and not collectively, it was not likely to be effectual. The weavers, finding that an advance was not to be allowed them, at last agreed on turning out, if, on waiting on their several employers on a given day, the advance was not obtained. A few manu facturers agreed to give the advance asked, namely, 7s. in the pound; others to give ss. and others 3s.— The answer given by the manufacturers was, that they would agree to give an advance, provided it was general; and the opinion prevalent appiari to be, that a compromise will take place, and that the weavers will in a few days be in full employment at an advance on their wages of 23 per cent.. The poor fellows are running about the streets with an hilarity in their countenances which they seldom exhibit. They have great cause to rejoice—their wages were confessedly too low, and they have obtained an ad vance without violence—without illegal combination. The weavers had public feeling on their side:—the manufacturers really wished them better paid ; but individual sacrifices could not be expected from them. They will now have the satisfaction of paying some thing like adequate wages, without paying more than their competitors." FROM ANOTHER LETTER. " The goods I next send you must be at an advance of at least 5 per cent. The Spinners still hold out, and are proceeding to acts of violence. The Weavers have given notice, that they intend to turn out en Monday, unless their wages are raised.7s. in the pound ; the masters have agreed to raise them 3s. in the pound, in addition to what they have already done. The colliers are all out likewise for an advance of wages.

Qqa The complidatidn of complaints tinder sehtch bet MAJESTY is labouring, appears almost daily to as- same a more decided character. The intervals be tween each relapse regularly decrease in duration, whilst every succeeding attack is more violent than the last, and consequently leaves the Royal Sufferer in an increased state of debility. There is, therefore, but too much reason to apprehend the most serious consequences. Her MAJESTY is also said to suffer extreme mental anxiety from her increasing inability to remove to Windsor, and regrets that she did not sooner follow the dictates of her feelings; for, in her present state, the journey, it seems, is deemed alto gether impossible. It was yesterday, just a week since her MAJESTY has been in her bed ; during the whole of that time she has remained sitting in her chair, in one unvaried posture; the least attempt to alter her position caus ing the most distressing effects. Still, however, her chair being contrived to move on rollers, she has been able to bear being wheeled into the adjoining boudoir, where her dinner has usually been served ; but on Saturday her state was such, that even this very slight motion was discontinued. Her MAJESTY'S state, on that • day, was truly alarming, and Sir Flusters MlLLsrarr was the only physician in atten dance till threi o'clock, when Sir HENRY lIALFC an arrived from attending the monthly Council at Windsor. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY arrived from Windsor, at the same time, to lay the report of the Council before her MAJESTY, but she was so ill, that her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA was deputed by her to receive it ; and his Grace was af terwards invited to dine with the Princesses. In the mean time, Sir HENRY HALFORD had a codsul tation on the state of her MAJESTY, when it was de termined to send an express for Mr. KEATE He ar rived late in the evening, and, after conferring some ; ' time with the physicians, her MAJESTY underwent an operation. At the same time an express was sent off to the PRINCE REGENT, at the Studhouse; and the Archbishop, who had already left the Palace to proceed to Lambeth, was recalled. The Prince ar rived about half past nine o'clock, and immediately visited her MAJESTY. The Archbishop , was after wards introduced into her MAJESTY'S chamber, where his Grace'read the service of the sick, and adminis- tered the Holy Sacrament to the QCREN the Pair= ItiroENT, the Princess AUGUSTA, and ihe Duchess Of GLOUCESTER. Her MAJESTY experienced consi derable benefit from the means which were taken to relieve her, and about eleven o'clock his Royal High ness the PRINCE REGENT again returned to the Stud house. The Archbishop slept at the Palace; and set out for Lambeth at seven o'clock yesterday morning. Yesterday morning the following Bulletin was issued:. Kew House, September 6 " The QUEEN continued very ill the whole of yes terday, but her MAJESTY has a good night, and is a little better this morning." (Signed) " P. MILLMAN. " H. HALFORD." Up to seven o'clock last night her MAJESTY con tinued tolerably cbmpoted. In the conrse of the day the Earl of LIVIHIPOOL, Sir DAVID DUNDAS, Doctor WILLIS, and Mr. KEATE arrived at the Palace. Dr. Witits had a long interview with her MAJESTY. At half-past four o'clock the •PRINCE REGENT arrived from Hampton Court, and was expected to remain late. Sir FRANCIS MILLMAN left the Palace for. Lon don, between nine and ten o'clock in the morning. • The Botanic Gardens, and the whole of the Royal Pleasure Grounds, were closed against the public, yesterday, in consequence of her MAJESTY'Sincreased indisposition. The following Bulletin was issued this day : " Kew Palace, September 7. " Her MAJESTY was better through the whole of yesterday ; and has had a good night. (Signed) "H. HALFORD. F. AIILLMAN." Mr. IXCLEDON is arrived in Liverpool from Ame rica. He has realised, hissaid, by his trans-atlantic expedition, upwards of I:5000. Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE, who had been some time with his family in France, returned two days since, in order to attend his duty at Covent-Garden Theatre, but has been suddenly taken ill at Dover. That deserving Actress, Miss KELLY, if ill of a scar T let fever. The new Juliet of Drury-lane Theatre is, it seems, not Miss Mum, as reported. The performances at the English Opera go on with, spirit. A considerable round of ingenious dramas continue to be presented, and to those the Company are unusually competent. As the season matures, the actors appear to higher advantage, and we shall regret in no slight degree the period which puts an end to their exertions at the English Opera. A General Court-Martial was held at the R o yal Marine Barracks Portsmouth, on the 25th of Au gust, for the trial of First Lieutenant GILBERT LANG DON, of that Corps, on the following charge : « That Lieutenant LANGDON had been seen coming out of a public-house, on some day between the Ist and 21st days of May last, in a state of intoxication ;" on which charge the Court found him—Not Guilty ; and did most fully acquit him of the same. Lieutenant- Colonel MoNcasErre, President. DEATH BY A SPRING Gux.—This morning died CHARLES GRANT, Esq. an eminent Russia broker, of Grove-road, Mile-end. On Sunday se'nnigbt, about ten at night, he took his usual walk round his grounds.' Not being aware of the servant's having set the spring gun, he trod on the wire, ond received its contents,l consisting of five slugs, in the back part of his thigh. Sir WILLIAM BLIZZARD extracted the slugs, but a mortification ensued, and terminated his extstence. He has left a widow and two children. -Nt ARMY% . • tire tritticiiii Sir GeOrgt La 4 Hamilton, and Allied ) have arrived from Quebec; with the remains of the 7th Battalion of the 80th and 99th Regiments on board) who are to be disbanded . .
