(Applartse.)—He would now say a word or two on the anhject of prejudging tho question. He ad. mitted that if ever any question hail been pre judged, it was certainly this very question—whe ther the Manchester Magistrates, or the Manchester yeomanry, or both, hid acted right or wrong? Hut by whom had it been prejudged? By the Prince Regent's Ministers. The moment they received the 6r►t account of the melancholy transaction at Man chester, they penned a letter of thanks to the Me iistrates, which they rent to the isle of Wight to receive the sigr.xture of the Prince Regent—and, when that was obtained, it was transmitted to those who had authorised the proceedings of the 16th of August. Ile did not wish to be ton severe nu Mt nisters for this act, because they might have been deceived by the representations of the Manchester !Magistrate:. But wind could they say 10 their subsequent conduct, when the City Address was presented to the Prince Regent ? Tnne enough had etairsed, before that Address was presented, to enable Ministers to procure further information on the subject. They ought to have known that the meeting at Manchester, though a large one, was perfectly peaceable—that there was n; attempt at tumult or riot, until the cavalry broke in on the people—aml that, therefore, there was no reason for 'sliming that Mlle and insulting answer in the mouth of the Prince Regent which they had done. —(Applause./—They ought to have had correct issforination on the subject; if they had not, they were much to blatne—and if they had, and refused to act ou it, the only inference was, that, having mice acted wrong, they were determined to persist iii the same line of conduct.—(Applause.)—He did not see how it was possible fir the people of this vonittry, after witnessing tra n sactions of this sort, to remain silent. What slid they ask for ? Not for punishment without trial—not fur decision with out evidelice; no, they demanded fair, full, and free inquitY !—(Applause )—After marking how the Plince Regent's Ministers had prejudged the question, first by flanking the Magistrates, and next by the answer to the City Address, it became ab►o loiely necessary that an extended inquiry should be demounted—and that was all which was called for by the Resolutions that had been put into his hands.-- flaying had no share in driswing them up, he might be permitted to say that they r►flected honour on those who framed them.

Ile censured the con duct of the cfturch;vardens, who hail thrown obsta .cles in the way of the present meeting. It was very well known that those Gentlemen had prevented 0- beadle from making a trifling emolument by do •eminatiog the ►►ot►ce, and, its consequence, they hail bren obliged to resort to strangers for that pur pase. Those persons did not pet form their duly Fonestly—many of the notices were used as waste paper—and the intended meeting was not there fore generally known. When this was coupled with the improper conduct of the churchwardes.s, in ordering the beadle to tear down the notices, leiterday, and with their antecedent refusal to call N toretiag, It was clear that they had done whatever lay in their power to frustrate the wishes of the pirl4lllollMBll, and to prevent them from speaking sentiment,. They said they wished to pre. serve the peace of the parish—and how did they mean to effect this ? By preventing the inhabitants from speaking what they felt witl► respect to the recent proceedings at Manchester—end declaring Ineir opinion of a Ministry, who had been instru snentally concerned in insulting a venerable Peer of the realm, because he advocated the rights of the people.—(Appluuse.)—This they had done in tl e titer of the Act of Settlement, which raised WV. limn and Mary to the Throne. Such was the coil sloct of those Ministers, who were about to raise an additional body of soldiers for the support of whom Obis devoted country was to be more heavily taxed. Applause.)—Here the worthy Gentleman en tered into a detail of the transactions at Mai, Chester. and contended that the meeting was perfectly legal. When such a meeting was vio ly'r:ly dispersed by a body of cavalry—when a number of individuals were slaughtered or tram pled on—could they be blamed in calling for in quiry ? if, un the day of the meeting, the Maxis. trate, had filled the arena with armed men, so as to prevent the people from assembling, such an act wittily, certainly have been illegal, but it would have In-en-infinitely more merciful than the course that was adopted. He was, however, happy to soy. that, aminipt the force by whom the people were hewn mid in' down, there were none of those brave men who Inel raised the military character of England Si. such a glorious height in foreign warfare. The totrucitire of the 16th of August were committed by t•et of -men, who, fur the tint time, had an °ppm- Issiiity of using their swords, and of displaying their iegintentale. This was their first military exploit, :it,d he hoped, for the honour of the country, it would he their last.—(Great appf u nm.)— The worthy Gentleman then proceeded to observe, t hat, even supposing, for argument's sake, that the meeting was tumultuous (and the contrary was known so be the truth), the Riot Act might to have been read• as near the assembly as possible.

If they did nut succeed in procuring inquiry, their rights, as a free people, would he torn from them, and that nation, which had so long been the glory of the world, would be governed by the sword, and sink under a military despotism.—(Applarrae.) The Resolution was then carried oust t i ttt ously, as were ski) the remaining four. Mr. STIURCH corstpliinetited the meeting on the unanimity which prevailed in passing the Resolu tions. One of them, which related ,o the cousti tution of the country, was proposed with peculiar propriety on this occasion, since they had seen, in the newspapers, an address, agreed to at a private meeting, perhaps in Lord Lowther's house in Cumberland, the individuals sigistog which. de clared, in almost direct terms, that, if the Prince Regent wished them to give up their liberties, they were ready to do so.—( Laughter.) The Thanks of the Meeting were then moved to Mr. Clarkson, for his impartial conduct its the Chair, and were unanimously carried. Mr. CL•ausow, in retursiing thanks, said, he had acted on this occasion its be hoped hr would on every occasion when the liberties of the country were in danger. The transactions at Manchester called for the expression of the sentiments of a people who lived under • free constitution, in order to shew to Ministers that they knew what the consti- tuttou way. and that they Would out allow it to be violated with impunity.

Are they the mai. viduals who ore the objects at once of contempt and pity to the public, and whose absurdities and wretch edness are the topics of coarse jokes and ribaldry to the very mobs who are collected around them through idleness or curiosity ? Are they the individuals who have so little concert among themselves, that but yesterday the public Press groaned beneath the weight of their mutual criminations and invec. tire; ? We cannot be surprised that such per sons should furnish matter for ridicule to the Treasury Prints, bid we are astonished that the same Treasury Prints, after, as it were, uncon sciously evincing their hearty contempt for them as public characters, should endeavour in the next sentence to intimidate the public at the mention of their names; but still more astonished should we be if the conspiracies supposed to be framed by such person's 'could excite in any reflecting mind in England apprehension of the remotest danger to the stability of our existing institution.. We received Inst night German Papers to the 2!d instant. The following is an extract : BAMBERG, orrosta 20. We know the opinion entertained at Baden on the Reso lutions of the German Diet; they perfectly agree with the opinions of the other parts of Germany. It is led that many Public Functionaries in Prussia concur in this re spect in the opinion of an enlightened public. The mew. sures against the Press ■nd the Universities, seem parti entail ly to have caused a great impression at Berlin.—The Government, or rather thorn Members of the Governmeet who partake of the views of the Dirt at Frankfort, have, however, thought 6t to give new assurances that the steps taken will not interrupt the progress of the measures pre paratory to introducing the Constitution. That may he, but the question is to know when this affair will be concluded, and to this no satisfactory answer is given. If we most say so, the real intentions of those who hold in Prussia the helm of Government, thew themselves in the very articles which are inserted in the Journals for the purpose of tranquillising the people of Prussia, and of all Germany in general. These kind of declarations, inserted in the most esteemed Journals, prove at least one thing, which is, that it is wished by fair words to regain the public confidence; but those which have hitherto appeared seem to us nut well adapted to produce this effect. The Hamburg!) Papers which have arrived contain a letter from Algiers, of the lit of Sep tember, stating that the town suffers considerable distress from the plague, dearness of provisions, and scarcity of water. Nothing is said respecting the combined English and French squadron be yond the notice of its arrival, and the probable object of its mission. To us it would be interest. big to learn what impression the appearance of the combined squadron and the intimation of their command had produced in the piratical community of Algiers. It may be remembered, that some time since the son of the Emperor of Moaocco was defeated, and killed by the people of C;lava, a populous and mountainous province of Morocco, and that the Emperor himself was with difficulty enabled to escape from the fury of this rebellious people.— From late accounts, however, it appears that the Emperor has taken a severe revenge upon this people ; but the quarrels of barbarians present no thing but an uniform tale of cruelty which can never gratify curiosity. LON DON, TUESDAY,. OcrosEa 26. 1819. Yemeni:ly being the aisiiiversary of the KING'S Acteasi 111 l to the Throne of these realms, was ob served a+ a holiday at the public offices. The Stock Exchange, however, was open, and much business was transacted. The alarm excited on Saturday by •the proposed measure of increasing the military es tablishment —hy the removal of E ir I FITZWILLIAX from the Lieuteisancy of the West Riding of York shire—mid by the absurd and mischievous repoot 01 the asszissiivitiou of Lord CasTLEaraots, was still felt iii the market yesterday, nor do the most expest riecced speculators seem for the present to antici pate au improvement. A thousand vague and ridiculous rumouas were industriously circulated in the neiglihouiliooll of the market, and although many laughed at the idea of danger, and ridiculed the notion that the Radicals could entertain the desperate resolution of disturbing the general tran quillity of the country, yet it less manifest that alarm was either felt or effected to a very great extent. Should this sense of danger continue for any considerable time, it must be attended with very injurious consequences to the commercial part of the community, and the Lords of the Treasury will, we rear, have to deplore it at the termination ef the current quarter. It cannot safely be denied that there exists in the country an active spirit of discontent, which possibly might, without a►uch difficulty, be per verted to purposes of mischief, and it is also very probable that the Ministers have received, from what are called the " disturbed district.," com munications of an attaining character. The doors of office in Downing-street have ever stood in vitingly open to stories of disaffection, and when the taste of the Government is well understood, cat will never be wanting to pamper its de proved appetite. The experience, however, of the ; - year 1517, wilt ne least justify the public in not lending a credulous ear to the cry of treason, when traised by Ministers, upon the reports of interested iiiul designing men. When Miuisters o jts 1817, required from Parliament extraordity4 .powers, suspending the Constitution, they weso. well sup plied with evidence of sedition, and prevailed upon ; a Committee of tither !louse to sanction their mea- sures by their unanimous approval. We do not de. sire to throw any reproach upon the Government, fur reposing ton easy a confidence in such represent . tali nn s, and still less upon the Committees of Pediment fur- adopting the impressions of the Ministers, oo 1.6 e analstirity of vague or treacherous statements.' Minieteti the retirement of their closets most ) ; er l icoiirit;, depend upon the reports of etheri, and egfortunately the individuals who claim their unreserved confidence in 'natters of such importance, are fur the most part men of indifferent reputation, upon whose veracity little reliance ought to be placed. The office of a spy is in itself so degrading and infamous, that the man alto stoops to it must be lost to every sense of shame, and be ,deprived of every good and generous feeling. Events proved that the Ministers were egregiously deceived by their spies in 1817. Al though several individuals were arrested, charged atilt treasonable practices, only four were brought to trial, who were acquitted, sod all the rest, up wards we believe' of one hundred persons, were liberated without trials either absolutely or upon their own recogniztuces. The remembrance of these circumstances ought to teach us distrust in the present tales of alarm, and prevent us from reposing an implicit confidence in the assertions of Ministers, who have proved themselves credulous to a degree that bordered upon imbecility. Nothing can be more easy at ally time than to raise a cry of danger, and the greater the mystery in which it seems to be enveloped, the more surely will the object of the alarmists be achieved. At present we are told nothing about the extent of the danger, the point or object of attack, the leaders of the enterprise, or the means that are destined for its support. The enemy is generally known under the name of 1 , Radical Reformers," and these are at one moment ridiculed for the paucity of their numbers, and at another maguified into a danger ous importance from the overwhelming weight of their 6$ physical force." They are certainly con fined to York, Lancaster, and perhaps a few dis tricts in other manufacturing counties, but it would. be idle to think of ascertaining their num. bers ; they have been raised into a factitious and unnatural importance by the indiscreet energy of the Ministerial writers, and have acquired a degree of consistency and uuifnrmity of at tion from the unfortunate uffitir of Manchester, which otherwise they would never have obtained. 13st what could mere brute force effect against the organised power, military skill, energy, wealth, intelligence, and talent of the whole empire ?

About eight o'clock no the evening of Sunday last was witnessed at Carlisle a very beautiftil appearance in the heavens—a broad zone of light, which extvinled across the whole visible horizon, nearly west and east. As it dues nut appear to have been visible on the east side of the island (at least none of the Papers in that district which have mine to hand notice it), we may presume that its altitude nal not very considerable. That this zone, or belt, was of electrical origin, is obvious from all the phenomena accompanyine Ir, though all she Papers which we have seen describiag it, do not particularly settee the appearances that immediately preceded it. A little before eight iii the evening, a radiant appearance was observable in the heavens, a little above the northern hemisphere, which, so far as we could calculate without the assistance of iiiiitruments, was nut many moles distant. It emitted vivid rays of light, as if from an im mense furnace, from behind a dense and black clued, ',bah were successively followed by others, that expanded moss the whole surthere part of the helmsmen swill they nearly reached the zenith. After having for some lime formed most briniest streamers, the electric matter was accumu lated into one large, beasstiful, sod condensed arch of biller tionary light ; and as the sky was fortunately very clear, it was beheld fur more than an bour.—( Carlisle Journal.)
