in misrepresenting them, and (hat even tha► portion
of the press, whose miserable duty it iv to defend
the Magistrates of Manchester, have acknowledged
tl►at the Meeting had conducted itself with regu-
larity and order, even to the V'er'y moment when the
cavalry advanced. At this point they affect to
differ from the other newspapers, but their dif-
ference consists merely in vague assertions, in COn..
tradiotions unsupported by a particle of evidence.
Alderman Itnessivett, and those who voted with
loin, must however: as Eaglishinen. confess, that
if the Meeting were peaceable and decorous, as it
is by all sides admitted to have been, the advance
of the cavalry was illegal, their violence was wan-
ton arid unmanly, and that whatever ill conse
sinences flowed from that first step on their pints,
mast be attributed altogether to their own act, and

to the intemperance of the Magistrates.
After a full and patient discussion, the result was
sot h as might have been expected in an honest
and wibought assembly of Englishmen. The
Resolutions, declaring the Meeting at Manchester
le v t!, mill censoring the conduct of the Magistrates
and yeomanry, were affirmed by a majority of
tilt to 49. This determination of the Common
Cintitc,l of London—of the assembly next in dignity
anti political importance in this empire to the
Houses of Parliatuent--must he attended with con-
i-quences the most favonmble to the cause of ge-
neral liberty ; it will not only shew the Magi-
strates of Manchester bow their rash conduct is
viewed by their countrymen, but communicate
a tone and consistency to the opinions iu ge-
tueral. This decision of the Common Council of
London will, we trait, be followed by public '1
l‘leetings all over the kingdom, when we hope that
Vie Nobility and Gentry will, on this solemn occa-
sion, follow the example proposed by Lord Hsu-
( Fri, and meet their con•titnents wed fellow.
subjects for the common assertion of their violated
rights. We may be assured, that no pains had
beets spared by the Ministers and their agents
to procure a strong party in the Common Council ;
but it is a proud reflection for the City of London,
and for the Country in general, tivit, in despite of
Ministerial influence, the pretended declaration of
the PRINCS RIBISIIT'S opinion, in the seat of Go-
verament, and within almost the verge of the
rout, the Common Council asserted the liberties
of the people, and proved itself worthy of the public
covliderice, and entitled to the warmest gratitude of
the country.

A Ilamburgh Mail has arrived, with Papers to

a national character. have occurred on the fron-

An article from Carlaruhe, of the 30th August,
states. that Sands, the assassin of KOTZEIBUte has
undergone a further examination, but the nature of
it is not mentioned. It is generally believed that
tlt's enthusiast was the agent of a body confederated
for the work of tosattination. but it is not likely that
a Ain of his character wilt readily be induced or
intimidated to betray his associates.
