Atiatnit 19, 180. The Manchester Magistrates has., lamentably and unhappily, thrown sneltitedes of individuate into sorrow and mourning, and the whole kingdom into consternation sod dismay. They have also carved oat work enough for the Bench end the Bar weevilly both for some time to come at least. They happen too to be manufacturing. 4GPTIt %TES, which snakes their case the more affecting to their characters; and that circumstance aught to have instilled a greater watiness iota their conduct. They are opposed by Wariest against the complaints and bewailing, of the poor weavers, who constituted a very great ma jority of the people which formed the smarmed mass of population,into which the Yeomanry Cavalry so be roicallycharged en • g•llop,sword in band! Theyshoold base been slow to strike, where it was so obviously Wesel for the profit in trade, and the passion in au- I bority, to indeence their minds, if not their movements. But they have done the deed—and a fatal one it is : they have committed t'..mselves in the most import. ant occasion which could present itself to delegated poser. They have done more in their way this Casks did in his. lie passed the Rubicon against the villa a Sepals falling into decay,bot they have passed it spinet the will of A matt RISING PEOPLE. When we speak thus, and make this comparison, we do net confine oar view of the thing to Mr. liwir and a few of his agar companions, and numerous fol lowers. No, he and they are bet as a corps of pioneers. The road moat be opened by some, for VATS itself impels the march. The Manchester Magistrates, fall of their own self-conceit, but in flated with their accidental end actual power, imps- Rest for the contest which was to chase away the high priced notion of liberty, and to cheapen the already too low priced labour of the loom, have fleshed the swords of their young trained bands is the bodies of Britons assembled to regain their /oil Nitwits—we will not say privileges—the People sire privilege, being themselves the depositaries of national pailiff Bet we will sot frame the is. dictment against the supposed offenders till all the facts are truly known which forgers or accompany the dire at least, and to es at present seemingly the rash act. As we profess to be the champions of freedom, so we would prove eerselves the devotees of troth end justice. The supposed offenders must answer through the Constiteted Authorities of the Law to the Teibenel of the Empire. We may at least say, however, in Ibis stage of the tragic business, that it might have been repotted that the compromised Magistracy would, on such as occa sion, have acted cautiously, and even timorously: such • conduct would have been no imputation against their courag►, bet an excess even for a remission.— They ought to have recollected what their relative connection with the complainants commanded, bet especially what it forbad. The first great hinge on labial the portal opening to their acquittal or coo. demnstion will, and mast, tern, is the fact of reading the RIOT ACT, and elso the proof of its necessity.— It will not be enough that it was read from a distant window, or gabbled over in the corner of a field. It might have been reed from the motive of preventing mischief, and not as a colour or pretest to conceal the approach to mischief. No ambush—no ruse de guerre will do here. It was no open rebellion which called out the discretion of the Justices, and the power of the military. It was not according to oar conception of the whole case each as could be de terminated " • tendence to a breech of the peace," for we sincerely believe, from our souls, that it was a deeply felt grievance which called the People loge. ther, and sot a shallow resentment against this or that man or mestere. They met to devise a confer those evils which a wrong system of Government hes been multiplying for a long time past ; bet especially since Mr. PITT (the " [leaven-born Minister," in the eyes of the Manchester Magistrates) declared, that "so honest maw could not be Minister of the country." The Chief or Senior Magistrate among those who hove been thee scting,shonld have thought of the consequence of spilling one drop of eiti:ens blood. A soldier's blood is not of the same political vales— ha has consented to sell it to his King, as he wW seeress to you, for pay. Many among them wish for wounds, is order to be proportionably paid fee them in money;—but far different is it with a citizen. Calling op the esprit des corps of a Regiment is no tbiog ; bet collie* up the spirit of a Nation in vindi cation of a Cities's', life is a tremendous thing!!— What has not • WILLIAM TELL done ?—a J 01174 Ilaments ?

In the mean time let that pert of our oppressed coontrymeo en- der whose notice these remarks may fall, be assured, that although the above Journals, and many other of Neatly @lavish disposition and practice, may en deavor to cry down their legal and constitutional efforts to right themselves, we will stand op for them till we are beaten down ourselves; and in ibis cue they will, for reeve one friend taken away by unjust force or treachery, 6nd ten in his room. — The right of meeting to petition for a removal of grievances, is the Grit, the bast bold the People have of the/ether they give to their Chief Magistrate. If 'they quit that, he runs at large! and they politically die! Military array indeed—for shame New Timm I Where were the assembled People's arms ? their ac- coutrements ? their belts their cartnech.boses— but above all their provisions Alas, in their pursuers' larders! If they would have been quiet some of them might base had the meet stewed down to make gravy for their Worships ! No, their stomachs would not come to ; so they went whither not to the field of battle but to the I field of dehale—•hich their masters converted into a field of battle. In military array, forsooth. Why, then the charity.bo)s much to chetah in military a t _ ray, for they march in close order and sometimes rega le,' step, with Oats in front and rear. In the new map of England, if it should be divided antler a despotic stvay,into military districts, the one in question ought to be merited with red and deenmintted the bloody dislrid—of which that General who offers ten pounds for an evidence of tampering with a soldier. is milkier{ to the prime command. On this subject of paying soldiers for evidence, we have an agonizing story to tell at a proper time hereafter. Meet then my oppressed countrymen, consritationally meet, and peaceably separate, with3et fear of cavalry. The infantry in the long eon have always beaten the cavalry or worn them oat. You are accustomed to privations, mounted troops most be well provided with meat, corn, and hay, or they ■re dismounted. We will not, however, lay down the pen upon this occasion without repressing our deep affliction for the loss of the poor patriots who hive fallen on this dread occasion, and expressing our shame that the feeble sea, whose affection led them out, in the assur ance Ibat they should be guards to their husbands, standing between them and the sword, though the fiercest tyrants raised their arms. Bat no, this disgrace, this stain upon British chivalry is engraved oath► no. tionsl escutcheon ; which the metaphors and rhetoric of the Renegade Bungc against en enemy, could not heighten nor blacken—no ; though the poor All- TOINITTZ of France were a party in it. Meet then strain, we say, and since you are deprived of Mr. Misr, your Chairman, yner hitter enemies wilt be deprived of their argument and their taunts against you through him. You will not want for leaders, or we are deceived In oar opinion of oar coon trymen. So far will the true Patriot be from shrinking from his duty in consequence of the fol. lowing infernal oblique threat to any futon' Chair• men, that should it veer be considered as an actual forlorn hope, suPthioks we see numbers of oar brave count►ywen rushing forward to On the bemoan of his prowess. The scarecrow len tem.* is es follows—it was tittered is the Non ' chester Herald, and quoted in the Courier: —" Had it not been for the interference of Mr. Millis, the Deputy Constable, whom these men have particularly calumniated, it is certain Mr. lIUST would oot now have been alive, for the military reere determined to cut him to pieces." And the.. are the military, which the LOCIL Clem Powco let loose upon the miserable, balf•starved men, women, and children (for so they are de►ignated), assembled together ! Here is a victory for you!! I The Madrid *recounts say, 64 The Treaty respect. Ing the Florida, is net rati6•tl, nor will it be." It appears that the result of the proceedings i n stitstaj against the Marquis DC CA‘A latuct, the late him' Minister, have been to declare that there is no gi aunt! for promoting him, and he has been in consequence discharged from all actuation. The reports of a prosecution against Pit sotto ■re stated to he erro neous ; with regard to Don Luis ON's, be remained at his estate of Cantalapiedra, near Salamanca, wait. log the King's orders, but he was not under arrest.

I have remarked that some witty and sharp apeeclam which have fallen from Princes,' have given fire to %editions."

The one party sees the promises which were made in holy gratiterle for the most distinguished fidelity, lamely or only half fulfilled ; the other party sees conspiracy and revolt stealing through all provinces and ranks, where men are only united together by unity of see.. tioient.
