The Conspiracy detected at Manchester forms a subject of my general conversation, but, if we may judge from the price of the Funds, bas created little or an alarm in the Metropolis. The eight prisoners, John Rants, Jame, Sellers, )VerA.Thattoot, Eitu. awser,Rok. Kirfrou, for. ileiky. Jahn Loorasjire, and Sexual Brandforil, who were brought in custody from Manchester by the Tra yeller Coach on Monday, were lodged in the Brown Bear public house in Bow-strret, in separate 1 rooms, each pi them having a Police Constable to guard them. They had every accommodation the nature of the charges against them would admit of, both on the road, and during their short stay in the house. A hide before two o'clock yesterday they were removed in four hackney coaches, guarded by the King's Messengers and Police Officers, to the Secret iry of State's Office for the Home Department, where they underwent examination before the Noble Secretary, the ',OLD CHANCELLOR, the Law Officers, Sr NATHANIEL CON ANT, and others ot the Police Magistrates. At half-past four o'clock they were sent from the Secretary of State's Office in folly coaches, in the custody ot the same persons who coo.; ducted them to the Office. Nothing has been suffered to transpire respecting what came out on the examination of these persons; an.!, in fact, little is certainly known, even in Man chester, respecting the real plans and designs of the conspirators. All the accounts agree that their pro jects were desperate; but the accounts which we have seen differ widely as to the causesand ultimate objects. Some of the letters which we have seen describe the Irrita:ion of the people, whose intended mischief has been happily prevented, as having no political pur pose or abject in view—as having no connection with she mad projects of the Spenceans or the Reform system oitbe Spa-fields Orators ; bat as being found ed en wrongs. imaginary or real, supposed to be be ar d wpou them by their employers, in not p a y_ inn awns a fair remuneration for their labou r ., j a a w, r d. some M the accounts ascribe all the dig. commits to t h e km pries of labour. and the extreme • distress endure 3 by people bat ill qualified to 61setiabl• n .te, and to judge correctly r •:petting the causes of their sufferings, and the means best sakalated to af ford them relief. But all the letters which we bare seen, down to those of yesterday, admit, that there were but tdo just grounds to apprehend that the plans of some despe rate individuals among the discontented were of a most diabolical description, and, but for the timeous exertions of Lord Su:mount and the Magistrates, might have produced the most lamentahle results. From the facts stated in some of oar letters we should imagine, whatever be the degree of guilt that attaches to the individuals in custody, or others still at large, that Ministers will be convinced of the absolute necessity of attempting something for the relitfof the people, who are exposed to every tempta tion of the designing by the pressure of their present distress.—Employment is the first thing required; and, at the present moment, every suggestion calcu lated to effect this desideratum, is entitled to early and deep consideration.—The cotton yarns spun in this country have been and still continue to be ex ported to other countries where our piece-goods are prohibited, or loaded with duties which amount to a prohibition :—For what purpose ? To encourage the manufactures of these countries I And what do they, so denominate ?—Neither more nor less than , the . amorist: of &Ili:A prim into cloths. The subject, we are aware, involves many impor tant considerations—unfortunately a great deal too Maly. Witness the mighty destruction with which one of our first manufacturing towns has been now threatened.—Whatever steps may be necessary to guard against the machinations of those wicked indi viduals who would. in t •••*r blind fury, involve their employers and themselves in one common ruin, Sound policy demands that wise and politic measures calculated to reach the root of the evil, should In stantly be resotted tn.—Nor are we without hopes that Ministers have fo- some time been deliberating on this subject, and that ere long some measure of the kind we have suggested will be proposed in Par liament. The following detail of the events that have taken place, is copied irJII3 the Manchester .Exckange Herald of yesterday : " MANCHESTER, APRIL 1. " Until Friday last, the information which the Magistrates had received rested in themselves and hi:, Majesty's Ministers, to whom they had communi cated it. The diabolical plot which they discovered being then about to burst, and having taken every possible precaution to repel, or rather to prevent the threatening storm, they published that day the De.' claration which appeared in the STAR of Monday.— It is easy to imagine the consternation of the loyal', and peaceably disposed inhabitants of these towns on reading the important document ; bur, alarming as was the public notification of the danger which bad' hovered over ns, the detail of the black design is still more appalling. " From the 10th of March, when the amid Ex. pali►k. was defeated, the design now happily frus trated, first chewed itself. It is a fact, too well au thenticated to be doubted, that Meetings of Delegates from &dant towns and districts have met secretly to discuss the means of carrying their horrid measures into effect. The subsequent capture of the Delegates in council assembled, on Friday afternoon. has fur. nished the proof. It appears they had previously as sembled at the Royal Oak. in Downing-street, AM wick, whence they adjourned. to the George and Dragon. at Ardwict, where, about five o'clock, they were secured. Of the means by which the . horrid treason was discovered we pretend not to speak; but the inten tion of the conspirators, and the plan of destruction. we can state with confidence, to have been a conjunc tive consolidation of the disaffected from the neigh bouring districts, last Sunday night, when, on the arrival of the several detachments of men bent on re bellion, at the several entrances into the town, they were to halt till, at one o'clock, by a rocket to be fired, the signal bhould be given for the whole to make the best of their way to the ground which they had prevunsly occupied, near St. Peter's Church, where the leading conspirators, resident in Manches ter, were to be assembled in readiness; for it was agreed, that from two to three thousand persons would be sufficient to begin the operation, although they calculated on being joined by forty or fifty thou- I sand before day-light. " From the backfield, the midnight muster was Ito be put in motion by divisions, and attacks were to have been simultaneously made on the Barrack, the New Bailey Prison, the Police-Office, the Banks, and other Public Offices, on all places where arms were likely to be found, and on the private houses of every Gentleman who had become obnoeioos to them by adhering to their duty as men, as conscientious Magistrates and Qfficers, and as genuine Patriots.— In short, a complete Rebellion over Order...a Civil War—was anticipated. “ The Paper published and placarded by order of the Magistrates (see the STAR of Monday), informed our Readers of the first precautionary measures. We shall now lay before them such particulars of subse► grunt Avon:stances as we can vouch for; " On Tuesday evening the important facts they afterwards published. wery laid by the MagistraCy and Polies Wore a number of Gentlemen of the Arm eonsideratioi is this town gni ieighbottrbood, Who, !odd NI brit etpress their satisfaction At the silence which had been so properly observed till every pos sible provision of prevention was taken to make sure of the seisure of the Delegates, whose (netting, from different places, was to take place on Friday, at Ard wick. One of the Deputies was resident in Derby. shire, and had repeatedly been sent on missions from this town to some of the other largest manufacturing towns in the Kingdom, intended, like Manchester, to partake of the fraternal embrace. " During Friday night, and on Saturday, the Ma gistrates and Police continued on the alert. In ad dition to the eleven Deputies already mentioned, se veral other persons were apprehended. The locks were taken from the fowling-pieces in the gunsmiths' shops, and the gunpowder in the hands of the dealers, was removed to a place of security ; while the whole military force which could be spared, within marc'i ing distance, was added to the troc.pi AreAdy here. In the course of Saturday night eight of the prisoners were sent off to London, secured by fetters, and well guarded. " On Sunday a strong detachment of the Bth Re giment of root cause from Warrington in boats : the Cheshire Yeomanry also hastened to the post of dan ger. The skh Foot, and the Ist Dragoon Guards, were also on active service, the whole under the com mand of the Commander of the District, Lieutenant- General Sir Joints Birno. In the evening of Sunday, Mr. NAuns set eft post for Sowerby, in Yorkshire, where he secured Kosigla, one of the leaders of the self-named Reformers, and about four o'clock yester day morning lodged him in the. New Bailey Prison. " The providential discovery of the horrid plot prevented its execution. The wretched contrivers who escaped the officers of justice, hid themselves from observation ; and though upwards of one thou sand Constables paraded the streets during the night, and the infantry were on guard io different points, and the cavalry traversing the outlets of the town ; Sunday night passed over without any serious alarm. "Inctontattv.—About two o'clock yesterday morn ing a gun, or pistol, was fired by some villain into the window of the bed-chamber in which the drugh ters of Mr. H. Boneless, of Spring-fi:ld, Salford, sleep—the slugs or balls broke several panes in the window, but, providentially, neither of the young ladies custained any injury. " Mr. Bunoess immediately arose and joined his watchman, who had been pursuing a man whom he found on the premises, immediately after the report of the shot was heard, hut unfortunately the villain escaped. He is described to have been well dressed, to have worn a dark or black coloured coat, light coloured breeches, and boots with light coloured tops. He appeared to know the premises perfectly, for he. escaped through one of the dye-houses by the side of the river, and thence through Battye's Croft, through . which he escaped." BRIGHTtAI, APRIL I. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE REGENT. The Palace Ream., accompanied by Sir BENJA• MI/S BLOOMFIELD, arrived at the Pavilion soon after seven o'clock yesterday evening. The bells struck up a merry peal as his carriage passed the Pavilion gates, and the dm the certain precursor of joyous congratulation in the town, was once more hoisted on the venerable tower of the parish church. Lord and Lady R. SEYMOUR. as part of the Royal suite, Came in on Saturday ; the LORD CHAMBERLAIN on Sunday night ; Lord Sr. MILERS, Sir W. &EPPEL, LIDly BLOOMFIELD, and Sir EDMUND NAOLE, about five o'clock yesterday afternoon.—The Steyne pro menaders, who were numerous and elegant, were en livened by the melodies of the 18th band on Sunday. The weather was remarkably fine. The universally esteemed and benevolent Earl of Bats-rot. arrived here on Saturday. The Grove House, part of the Pavilion, is once more brilliantly illuminated. The diaries' party is small and select. The Royal Band is in attendance. The Doke and Duchess of Amos. entertained a large party of distinction yesterday at their house in Great George.street, Westminster, Lady HAMPDEN' had a select . party of fashi o n a bl es yesterday evening , at her house in Green street, Gros venor-square. The Marquis and Marchioness of Anmoat/ enter tain a large party of fashionables during the holidays, at their seat, the Priory. The awning and platform in the front of the Man. sion-house, is now in preparation for the LADY MATORllleifiCt Ball, which it is expected will be uncommonly brilliant. Yesterday Baron Fenn, the Ambassador from the Netherlands, gave a grand dinner at his house in Whitehall. 'Among the company were—the Bisisop of Loam/ and his Lady, Mrs. Howt.av Sir Rosati". and Lady Lima, Lord and L a dy VIALLIAM Bass. MEX. the BAVARIAN MINISTER, the TUIIKISII MINIS- Teas Mr. Dc POJIM. A Proclamation has been issued in Dublin by the Privy Council, proclaiming some Baronies in the County of Kildare, and two in the County of Tippe rary, as irra disturbed state. The contract made for bread, by the officers and workmen of Chatham Dock-yard, has had the effect of towering the price of that indispensable article as much as 2d. per gallon, throughout the whole of that neighbourhood. - By a paper laid on the table of the House of Com mons, it appears that no less a sum than . dt15,383. 71. Id. was due from the tenants of the estates be longing to Greenwich Hospital, for arrears of rent, for the year ending the 21st of November, 1816. By another paper it appears, that the produce of the lead and silver raised from the estates of the Hospital, in the counties et Northumberland, Cumberland, and' Durham, sold and unpaid for, on the 21st of Novem ber, 1818,ununutted to 025,101 101. PARIS Ptita, The trench journals of Said./lay and Sund4Y arrived this morning but are very barren of polit , c.i intelligence. The KING and the rest of the Royal F.mil• ir. ten!, it is said, to remove during the summer months to Vt.rsailles, which will have the honour ct beiog &b e place of the: Duchess of Eattat's acinnachemelt. The Count of BRqCQCENE9RO, a Belgian, formerly in the. French service, and M. ARMAND de Bawl. viu.r, have been arrested, and their papers wilted, on charge of being concerned in a criminal cones' dente with some re ogees in Belgium: The Theatrical Critic of the Gazette dr France, M. MAWIAINVILI.ti, has received a caning from hr.e Of the soas of M. ANNAULT, the Author of Gere. 4 . nice.,, for his criticism on that Tragedy. M. MJ-a- TAIbVILLE would have sott,;ht that prompt satisfac tion which a barbarous yet honourable cu. om has provided in such cases, but he pleads that being jest recovered from is severe illness, and in a state cf ex treme debility when he was assaulted by M. Ait- NM:LT, he owes it to society and to himself to leave to public justice the put►ishment of a fellow who could be cruel enough to cane a sick critic for an offence committed when he was not altogether touts in is. Some prisoners of war recently returned hat Russia report that, on the extreme frontiers of that Empire, there still remain Mae thousand: 6f ii c ( French army, whom the want of the means necessary for a long and difficult journey, prevent returniq to their homes. At Ajaccio, in Corsica, six brigands have suffered the punishment of death for their crimes, with a de gree of obdurate ferocity, which may equal any thing in the annals of human turpitude. Three of them were brothers, of the age of from :wenty to thirty years. When asked a few hours before their execution, if they would eat something —aa We will give you," (said the jailer) whatever you desire."— Ah, well then," replied they, " give us the heart of —," naming one of their enemies. To the number of phenomena which have distirt ' guiihed the present season in all parts of Enrol - re, se veral new and extraordinary particulars are constantly adding. Oa the 21 of February there was remarked, at Odentee, in Denmat k, in the south-west, a sort of a shower of fire, which fell with great rapidity, and seemed to increase in pr.portiou as it approached nearer to the earth. On the 6th, a storm of rain, bail, and thunder, burst suddenly ovei Rome ; the lightning struck oa the chateau of St. Auge, zr.d much damage was done. On the ISth, about three in the afternoon, there was heard at Agen, in Frame, a tend explosion, similar to one that occurred at the same place on the 5.h of September. 1814, whit several zrolites, or air.stones, fell. The explosion peered to come from the southern part of the heavens, and immediately a light breeze which was blowing from the north was calmed, and during mote than two mi. nutes afterwards a succession of detonations more or less strong was heard. The last occurrence which is noticed is still more remarkable. It happened at Alcoeer, in Spain, on the 20th. The weather was rainy. At three o'dock in the afternoon there was some lightning, followed with thunder; about half-past six there arose ail of a sudden a most tempestuous wind ; torrents nf and hailstones fell; the whole Heavens became illiimi_ nated with lightning, with the exception of a black cloud which increased by little and little to a great bulk; at seven a detonation was heard of such ar palling loudness, that the people in the but ets fell in terror on the ground, and a suffocating soil of sulphur ensued, noways calculated to t calve their clammed nerves; a second detonation, not so loud , followed, and the black cloud then bursting open, an immense globe of fire issued from :t, and descendin• rapidly on a Convent of Franciscans, destroyed the iron cross which surmounted it, set fire ti the timber work, and dividing itself into two volumes of flame, envelbpped the whole of one side of the church, and making an opening of more than six feet in thc burst into the interior. This extraordinary explosion was succeeded lr a thick shower of hail, soon after which the azmospl•:4e became quite tranquilliz,:d and serene ; and the:-.;:i bants, recovering from their su-prise, exerted them selves to extinguish the file in the Convent, in vilk!'• however, they did not succeed till the greater pet cf it was damaged or destrwieLl. An article from Vier ns, in the French Papery. i states, that the Princess a IVALp.s, who is expecte. , there soon, intends to proceed thence to Odessa, to travel in the southern pro , inces of Russia, and alter• wards to pay a visit to Constantinople. A letter from Dridge.Tewn, Barbadoes, dated i!:e 21st January, says :—" At about eleven o'clock tins forenoon, the convicts ( I '23 in number) who Last been concerned in the late rebellion, were removed from jail, escorted by the flank companies of the Royal Reg4nent to the wharf; whence they were conveyed on board the ship Fr4n.es and Mary, in whi-h tl cr are to be sent to Honduras, where they will rod their days in the very laborious employment of cutzing and preparing mahogany for the English proprietors is that Settlement.
