In the ha:nu:te sane How, JAnston-, Knight, and house of Sii+Apnit ; as soon as the , e..four part:es were aseeTtsrin-al, a warrant issued to eporthend them. The troops were mastered, and Nadin, preceding the Manchester Yeomanry Ca 'fairy, executed it. While the Cavalry was tot m hie, a most walked defiance of them was acted by the reforming part of the mob ; however, they so far executed their purpose, as to apprehend Haw and Johnston on the hustings: Knight and Moot house in the tuntmlit escaped. They also tuck oil the bustina‘, Saxton. Had Sykes, whet is the avti , er to The, Manchester abseurer, and which Saxton had before been addrescing the mob. The parries thus apprehended were brought to the !mese where the Magistrates were. Meantime the Riot Act was read, end the mob was completely dispersed, hut not without very serious and la• turntable effects. Hunt, &C. were brush hr down to the New Bailey ; two Magistrates anti myself, having promised them pro . retioo, preceded them ; we tvere attended constables and some eavalty. The parties were lodged in the New Bailey ; and siuce that time have bent added to them Kiel; ht' and Moorhonse. Ott intinity it appeared that many had suffered trout va rious instances ; one of the Manchester Yen man y, Mr. 11,dine, was, after the pa: ties %sere taken,• struck by a brick-hat;- he lost his power over his horse, and is sur.pnsed to have ft at:lured his skull by a fall from his horse. I an; aft aid that he is since dead ; if not, t bete are !In of his recovery A special constable 01 the name of Ashworth has been kiled—cause un known ; and four women appear to have lost their lives by. being pressed by the . crowd ; these, I believe, are the fatal effects of the Meeting. A variety of instances of sabre wounds vectored, but I hope none mot (al ; several pistols %r are fired by the mob, but as to their effect, save in one instance depnsed to br- Int e Colonel Fletcher, we have ?to account. We cannot but deeply regret all the serious effects at tendant on this transaction ; but we have the sa tisfaction of witeessieg the very grateful and cheer lug countenances of thc• whole toss n ; in fact, they consider themselves as saved by our exer liens. All the shop; were shut, and, for the most part, emit bitted so all the evening. The capture of Hen: took place before two o'clock, and I forgot to mention that all their colonrs, drums, &c. were taken or destroyed. Since that I have been to the Infirmary, and found my- self justified in snaking the report I have ; but Mr. Norris now tells me, that one or two more than I have mentiooed may have lost their lives. The parties apprehended will have their cases pro ceeded on to-nsonow ; but it appears that there may arise difficulties as to the nature of some of the it crimes, on which it s may be necessary to consult Government. 'I he whole Committee of Magistrates will assemble to-morrow as usual. Doting the afternoon and part of the evening, parts of the town have been in a very disturbed state, and numerous applications made for mili tary. These have been supplied, but in some cases 'have, in the Irish part of the town, been obliged so fire. I trust without any but effect as to life, in any instance. At present every thing seems quiet ; the reports agree with that, and I hope that we shall have a quiet night. I have omitted to mention that the active part of the meeting may be said to have come in wholly from the enantry ; and that it did not consist of less titan twenty thousand men, &c. The .flag on which was " Equal representation or death," was a black one ; and in addition, on the same side, bad " No Boroughmongering—unite, and be flee :;" at the bottom, " Saddleworth, Lees, and Morley Union ;" on the reverse, " No Corn Laws, Taxation without representation is unjust and tyrannical." On the Middleton flag seas, " Let us die like men, and not be sold like slaves ;" reverse, " Liberty is the birth right of man." I close my letter at a quarter before eleven: every thing ren►ains quiet. Many of the troops have returned to the barracks, with the consent of the Magistrates. I have to apologize to your Lotdship for the haste in which this is written, ht:t I trust that the haste will naturally be ac counted for. I i►ave the honour to be, my Lord, wish sincere respect, your Lordship's faithful and obedient humble set vant, IV. R. HAY. To the light Hon. Viscount. Sithnoutli, One of Lis :\lajesty's Principal Secretaries of State, &c. Manchester, Aug. IC, 1819, Eight o'clock, P.M. SlN—The Alagistrates assembled here in conse gence of the disturbed stare of this district, di- Trcted me to have the troops in readiness to assist the ciyikpower in case of necessity, 'at the time of th meeting proposed for this day. _ In concurrence with their wishes, end after consultittion with them, the military were pre pared and arrangements made, such as then seem ed calculated to meet any Occasion in which the nid of the troops miLzht be required to assist the civil power. The Magistrates were in attendance mar St. Peter's Church, and Mr. Trafford, a Jus tice of the Peace for the counties of Chester and Lancaster, was appointed to remain with the ca valry. Early in the afternoon, the civil power finding it necessary that the troops should act in aid of them, it was deemed expedient that the cavalry should advance ; and a warrant was exe ctited, preceded by the civil authority, under which two persons, limit and Johnston, named therein, were at rested, as were also two other persons, named Saxton and Sykes, who were active, as I am told, on the hustings. This service was performed with the assistance of the cavalry. The infantry was• in readiness, but I determin ed not to bring- them in contact with the people, unless compelled to do so by urgent necessity ; not - a shot the' eforc has been fired by any of the military, thou g h :eyeld have been fired by the populace against the troops. I have, however, great regret in stating that some of the unfortu. nate people who attended this meeting, have suf fered from sabre wounds, and many from the pressure of the crowd. One of the Manches ter Yeomanry, if not dead, lies without hope of recovery ; it is understood be was struck with a stone. One of the Special Constables has been killed. The Manchester Yeomanry no=icr Major Trafford, tirid (Le 17cf, manry 'under Lientenau;-,Cnionel wlt o had come on n very short notice froth the Connty Nlagist rates (Malty of them from 3 great distance), were most avive and efficient in dis charge of their duty.

GEoRc;E ur.sTaANor,, Lieutenant-Coloncl, 31st Itvgiinent. iMajur-General Sir John liyng, Examination of JANES MURRAY, of N 0.42, \i'ithy-Ciro►•c, Man chester, Confectioner, who on his oath, saith, That on Sunday last, the 15th instant, he was at ;;'bite Moss near Middleton, about five o►iles trona Manchester, between three and four o'clock in the morning, and saw there assembled between 13 and 1500 men ; the greatest number of whom :vete honied in Iwo bodies, in the form of solid squates; the remainder were in small patties of between 21) and 30 each ; there were about 30 sorb parties, each tinder the direction of a person acting as a•tirill serjeaut, and were going through military movements; that Examivani went amongst them, and inrn►ediately one of the drill sergeants asked him to fall it►, Ile said, lie thought Le should soon, or gave some such suswer tf!en began to move away; upon which, some per sons, who were drilling, cried out '' Spies."— This Examinant, and Shawcross, and Thomas Rymer, and his son (all of whim had accompanied this Examinant from Manclies tcr),. continued to retire ; the body of men then cried out, " mill them," " murder them." Near one hundred men then pursued the Exami nant and his companions; they overtook them near a lane end, at the edge of the Moss, and began to pelt them with clods of eartl►—they at last came up to the Examinant and his compa nions, and beat them very severely—Examinant begged they would not murder hint ; but the general c►y was, " Damn him, kill him—mur der him."—Examinant said, " you treat me very differently to what nations treat each other's pri soners when they are at war. Suppose that lam an enemy, you ought to treat me as a prisoner.'' —They said, " How will you treat us, if you take us prisoners when we come to Manchester Examinant knew at the time that a Meeting was anpointed for the next ,day (Monday) at Man chester. The men kept beating Examinant all the time ; at IJst, they debated among themselees whether they would kill Examinant or forgive him, and they determined to forgive him, provided he would go down upon his knees and beg pardon to them, and swear never to be a King's man again, Gr to mention the name of a king. Exttatinant complied, to save his life, they standing over him with sticks, as he apprehended, to murder him, provided he had objected. They afterwards 'went away. Ex aminant was not previously acquainted with any of t he persons assembled that he saw, but is cer tain that he should !;now again two of those who beat The greater number assembled had stout sticks, from three to four feet long. ha consequence of the ill treatment received by Examinant, as above, he was confined to his bed for three days. JAMES MURREY. Sworn at Nlanelaster, before me, this 21st day of August, 15319. RA. FLETCHER. The Documents are concluded by the following Letter from Major-General Sir JOHN BYNG Pontefract, Nov. 18, 1819. MY LORD—I have the honour to report to your., Lordship the result of such information as I have received! in the several journies I have made since I kit town, and from creditable authority in other places. It appears certain that simultaneous Meetings ltad been agreed upon to assemble on the first of this month, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne,, at Carlisle, at Leeds, Halifax, Hiiddetsfield, and Barnsly, in the West Riding of Yorkshire ; at Manchester, Bolton, Wigan, Blackburne and Burnley in Lancashire'; at Newcastle-under- Lyme, at Nottingham, at Leicester, and at Covent, y. I have heard other places named, but not from such authority that I can name them in this report; nor do I mention the Meetings in London, in Scotland, and in places not in the counties composing the district in which I hold the military command. As Met tings had very lately been held in almost all the above named towns, those agreed upon for the Ist instant must lave had some particular object in view. Although a schism among the leaders has pre rented these meetings, yet in Lancashire and sonic iew towns where disaffection has long prevailed, no difference appears, and the loon berg of discontented remain undiminished, but in places where it is of less mature existence, a most desirable check, from various causes, has been effected; but it would be fatal to its an nihilation in them, if there was yet any relaxation of our attention, and of means, to suppress it en tirely : a similar false security at times within the last three years, has brought disaffection to its present height in Lancashire, the vigilance of the Civil Authorities in it having ceased upon every short period of quiet. • A plan has been adopted to circulate more ge nerally seditious and blasphemous tracts,, which is to send gratis such publications weekly, directed to the servants in large families, which I think Worthy of mention, not merely to show how indefatigable the authors and leaders of sedition are, in effecting their porpose, but that it maybe thought expedient to pat the heads of families upon their guard. Six different attempts have come to to know ledge to seduce' the soldiers, but without the least effect ; some of them are under legal investiga tion. have only futther to add, that whatever dis union ma,. prevail among the leaders of sedi!ion and radical refoinl, they still unite in the endea• your (though I hope with less success,) to excite irritation and discontent among their followers, and to intimidate the loyal and well affected. With a firm belief in the accuracy of the fore going statement, 1 consider it my duty to make report. 3 have the honour to be, with te spcct, your Lottiship's very obedient humble Servant, JOHN BYNG, Major-General.

SOLEM QUIS DIOERK FALiUM UDI:Ar ? LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEM BER 23, 1819. Neyts, OCT. 20.—The whole of the Kingdom of New Gnenada is now in possession of the In dependents. On the 11th of last month a gene ral Insurrection of the Creoles took 'place at Santa Fe, the Capital ; ail the .Spaniards were murdered, the Governor,• and a few Officers of Government, excepted, who were obliged to fly in such haste as to leave every thing behind them, both public and ptivate property. The Inquisition and the Priests are all exterminated. BotAvAa, with 1500 men, .reached the City seven days after ; he found a treasure of 2 million of dollars, besides all the magazines and other public property, and has since recruited his Army to 6000 men. I have this information from a quarter the most respectable. A Letter from St. Croix, of the 28th ult., after noticing the effects of the gale at mat place, and St . Thomas's, observes, the accounts from► Tortola and St. John'i, are still more distressing ; not 40 houses retn,lin standing in the two Wands, and many valuable )ices are lost. The Governor of the former, together with his family., are among the number. The accounts from the Windward Islands are equally distressing. We have again to announce the non-arrival of Paris Papers ; t..vo'clays' Journals are due. The following paragrapbs are from American Papers : " PHILADELPHIA, OCT'. 18.—(THE FLORIDAS) —OO Saturday last, orders were received in this city from Washington, to transport forthwith from the United States stores .hdre to Savannah, 20,000 stand of arms, and ordnance, ammuni tion and equipments for a still greater number of men. Orders have been received at B.kfimore for a strong company of United States soldiers now in that city to proceed to Amelia Island, where we believe there is a heavy train of battering cannon and plenty of ammunition. Ail these preparatory measures have one tendency." The East Podia Company': ship Marquess Cam den arrived at Bombay on the 28th, and the Essex on the 29th of May. The Company's ship Waterloo arrived at Calcutta °IT the 16th June. We have heartily to congratulate the people nt large on the assembling of Parlia►nent, ►as the di. vision in the House of Commons last night mani fests the general sentiments of the Re•prvaeotative Body so strongly in favour of those Ministers who have, by their wisdom, energy, and persever ance, rescued Europe from oppression, and who, we trust, will not be less resolute and persevering in securing the country from the attempts of do mestic traitors to involve the empire in misery and ruin. The numbers on the division, last night, were-391 to 150 Majority in favour of Ministers 231 The Papers laid before Parliament on Tuesday night, from which we have taken extracts this day, contain such incontrovertible proo':s of the traitorons intentions of the persons who instigat ed the Meeting at Manchester on the memorable 16,h of A!►nnet, that the determined obsrinael and wilttil blindness on the part of Opposition, must lessen them in the opinion of those who have hitherto adhered to them. These Papers fully vindicate the conduct of the Afa4istrates , 31 ' d prove that they took no steps without due cauti° i '' and most satisfactory evidence, and any other 01 " doct than that which they adopted must have ex; nosed the property and perh a ps the lives of all who differed in opinion with them in that neig lP. bourhood. We find that the Radicals were armed' and animated with the most savage spirit, and is is demonstrated that the military never attempted to annoy them, but were at last driven, in Self' „defence, to disperse the rabble, who assailed than tones, brick-hats, and other dangerons m is- After this abundant proof, not only of t he evil intentions, but of the hostile fury of the mob , is it possible that OPPOSITION can expose itself to universal contempt, by persevering attempts to take the investigation out of the ordinary chat]- . nets of Law, in order to subject it to a Parliainental inquiry ? Surely, if any partiality, siolivion of law, and disregard of justice, should appear ill the legal proceedings, which it is in some degre e criminal to conceive would be the case, it then would be time enough to resort to Parliainea• The renewed Debate of last night fully j u st:fict i us in repeating, that on this important occasion, argument and proof are wholly un the side of 3:1 1 ' nisters, and that Opposition display nothing by / shallow pertinacity, and the blindness of Panty ze 3l * But is this a time for Party squabbles when the very existence of the MoNaucnv is at stake, ana when all who are really attached to THE POLITIOI' CONSTITUTION of the Country, should unite to its defence ? The (Old) Times, the most nt( cavil Paper in the kingdom, yesterday contained b rit a single Advettitement, and-that of only six lines' and in small type, "yet it found room for a v ile attack upon Government. Such a sacrifice of interest, in a Paper so notoriously selfish, must have some solid reason at the bottom. But gran t ing that there were_such a change of Ministe as that infamous Paper requires, can it suppos 6 that their successors would place any confidence in a Journal which has apostatized over and 0 5er again, and that is as much stigmatised O f treachery to those who condescended to trust it' a.s tor a mean temporizing spirit that acts uP° ll no principle b►tt the most sordid self-interest. RADICAL MRETING.—The despicable wretclle sf with Doctor WATSON as the Chairman, Avho a s° sernbled yesterday in Smithfield, would merit n a notice but contempt or ridicule, if it were noLf °l ; the estimate which that miser a bl e D emocr at lic i/* forth to the mob of the number of those who ate aiming at the subversion of the Government, 20it the partition of property throughout the kingdoall He said that the number of Radical Reformers itj England, Scotland, and Wales, amounted t ° 2,997,873, and of that number, those trail lea to the use of arms, were 597,563. Granting ' l°c this is an exaggerated statement, surely it mii4 b f he expected to alarm all men of propertY , ° whivever political opinions, and induce t heme''' . dially to. unite for the protection of themsel' e4 and their, countly.—The wretched Doctor also exhibited, deplorable to them, but satisfael, to all good men, st a te men t o f the i t.) ; ; condition of the finances of the Leaders, " 11/le . would not enable bins t o hi re a w aggo n for ilia Orators, or a coach for himself.
