ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

This mining Henry Hoist, Esq. and Sir C.
Wokeley proceeded in two carriages from Srot•k-
port (where they had arrived 11:e preceding evening)
to Manchester_ Their passage being anticipated
by the iuhahitautt along the road, they were every
where impatient for thin- arrival, and hailed them
with vl is of applause. %Viten they approached
Alatichester, the assetublage of people and their
Plaudits increil.ed; and as the.• passed through,
isarliculaily at the ilbsereer Office. tile Fet•hange.
ut the Spread Eagle pun, and at Mr. J..hnw►n's
warehouse, the acclamations were particularly loud
and long.
Oa the carriages leaving the town for the
place of Mr. Jahnson'a residence, Mr. Hunt
addressed the uccompaii.iing thousands, expressed
lair regret that the Alerting hail been postponed,
declining it to have been prifectly conatitittiomd ;
wild that the nine Magistrates who had declared
it to be illegal, were even less than tailors, the
whole nine not bring equal to ors, wise Man.
lie afterwards requested his hearers to go peaceably
house, and not permit theinaelver to be provoked
Into any irregular conduct.
Tlw carriages then drove to Mr. Johnson. resi-
deuce, where the gentlemen, after dinner, spent
the evessing very agreeably until the time of Sir
Charles's departure, which was by the snail, to
Wol'aley Park.
Sir Charles and Mr. Hunt were accompanied in
the carriages from Stockport by Mr. Morahan!'"
and Mr. Harrison; Mr. Johnson met them near
that place, where he was taken into the chaise: on
arriving et Ardivick Green. he changed places
with Sir Charles, and took his .seat beside Mr.
Hunt, probably to direct the movement through
the town. In the course of the afternoon, a rerun
was taken to Ashton a town about six moles from
!Manchester, that the latter place was no tire, and
that the cavalry must leave Ashton for Manchester
with all possible speed. 'llw spet•ial cotibtattlea
were called out, mid the military patruled the town
towards evening. However, all is now quiet, and
Manchester cud its numerous inhaltitanta still in
ezisteuce.

'several rounds of ball cartridge oirlivemed to them.
but it is not expected they will be celled into

" The mob MOWd on in triumphal Om& by
the Exchange, and to the jesidetice of Johnson.
Here the procession stopped, and Hunt, elated
with his daring enterpri►e, again gave the sign4l
for tbree times three cheers ; the mob joining ,tie

clapping of hauls. The d.!ferent streets and )11411,11

ROMV, 3UIY 23.

The Baron de Riimohr, who resides in a coun-
try-house within about 490 paces of the town of
Otevatio, received some time anice a very disagreeable
visit. It was evening, rod the Baron Will toting in
company with only his son and the Swims painter
Saladee, Suddenly the door was thrown mien, and
a nian, covered with a mantle, and having a red
silk handkerchief twisted round his hat, entered,
and asked where was the Baron ? Ile suspecting
danger, made a sign to his compiinions, and replied,
that he would go and call the Baron. Leaving the
room, he encountered at the door four men armed
with muskets, but he saved himself from them by
flight, and arrived at Olevano in search of assistauce.
The pontifical soldiers however were rather slow in
their movements, mud the robbers succeeded in carry-
inc off the painter and young Kumohr. They were
taken to about the distance of a league in the
neighbouring woods, where they found all the
robbers united, in number about fifty. They
were young men, few of them being over twenty
years of age, having very beautiful scarlet uniforms,
with very rich sashes and diamond ear-rings. The
Captain of the band bur also a large golden cross
susiwnded from his neck.
The robbers, on the following day, sent a mes-
sage to Olevano, that they would require a ransom
of 6,000 scadi for the Baron's son, but as for the
poor painter. said they, any one shall have him for
50 midi. During the negociations the two prisoners
were very well treated, but they were frequently
told, If you make the least noise, or the least
signal, we shall shoot you : it is necessary for the
example." The painter was obliged to make
portraits of the entire band. Alter two day.,
the ransom of the young Baron was fixed at 2,000
The robbers, on parting with him, ens:
braised hint, and the Captain, clasping him in Ins
army; samt—As My son, the remembrance of you
is engraved in my heart. I never shall forget you.,
I hope we shall meet at Naples." .

THE BRITT SII PRE'S S.

LON DON,
THURSDAY, AUGUST H. 1819.

In another part of our Paper will be found au sic.
count of Mr. Houv's triumphal entry into Man.
chester, on Monday, stud very copious details or
the proceedings in 114 town au that occasion. The
mob enjoyed the 'treat with all their natural
thoughtlessness, and celebrated it with the usual
quantity of noise and uproar. Far higher honours
were. however, paid to Mr. lIU NT by Sir Jetil:i
BYNG and the Magistrates of Manchester, for the
former had all the military within his district under
arms, sod the latter all the civil power at their dis-
posal on the alert, to give importance to this great
occorrenee. hlnay. of course, harangued the
multitude, bat we are not informed that he spoke
any treason, although he certainly littered some-
thing not very cousistent with good sense or legal
knowledge, for he lamented that the Meeting
Which had been summoned for Monday, at which
he was to have presided, and by whirls he most
probably would have been nominated "A Legisla-
torial Attorney to represent in the Commons
house of Patliament the good people of Slim.
cliester," was not and declared, in the full-
ersls of his legal learning. that such a Alerting
would have been perfectly constitutional. Alt.
MKT'S ideas of the " Constitution," we fent, do
not accord Very happily with what might chance to
he the opinions upon the same point expressed by
the Judges in Westotinirter Hall, stud so personally
iticuovessient might the consequeoces of any
1111tercation• upon the subject prove to Alt. hIeNT.
that we really cannot avoid congratulating him,
froM his well-k ii regard to Iteration! sty,
that the Meeting !hut not been held under his pre.
sidency. Au • &riming Paper says, that a letter
arrived yesterday. St its office, stating, that ill the
evening of Mon day a riot took place in the Streets
of.Msocheitter. which Mr. liuNT was ctuger-
oto.ky wounded, and Jon Naos killed by the troops ;
,but we ngree withilie.Editor of that Paper lu be-
lieving the statement to be false: SoMe wag in
Manchester, knowiiig the strolig,, desire entertained
by the Miiiisterial Journals for a good riot, attend-
ed a ith bloodshed, thought in hoax the Editor;
but he unfortunntely MCAT a little 1110 far, arid
jumped to the close of the Arnim before: the first
.act"hat! well commenctil. The poetical judgment
of the Editor was tinny rudely shocked, mud he
.r.jectvd the incideot as improbable. The death of
HUNT, whether *lateral or poincal, would be a

very solidus lass to...the Treasury . :
journiea ondatpeechee afford them' innumerable
staucep,:for the dieplay ofstheir wit iswl,e/o/otrtrit:;.
tVlietlier it he necessary to inflame the public
mited with indignation at the thoassands and telut
of ti mods of mysterious traitors who meditate
the destruction of our glorious Constitutioue or
expedient to depress as with the deniniinlion of
fye and sword, who so proper to be placed in the
furrgruitial of the ithagieary picture as HUNT t He
the ready object fur all their satire Arid invective ;
utility a smart joke mid terse sarcasm would no
doubt be lost to the world, were it not that HUNT of-
fered himself to givethe "airy nothing a local halri-
term, ;" and indeed there is one Morning Paper,
notorious for the furious energy of its epithetsohat -
would he reduced to the crutch nrcessitiof check-
ing the fervid course of its vehemence on many in-
teresting occasions. and thereby weaken " the
strength and force" of its observations, did not the
devoted name of HuNT sometimes intervene to ores
serve the consistency OOP ratings. •
The presence of Mr. HUNT in Manchester seems
ed to have made " a little holiday." All business
was stispeurled during the day, for those who were
idly disposed went out to gam at a man whose name,
has become so universally known, and the ajipre-
!tension of sonic danger induced those who would
have been industrious to shut up their shops, and
join the multitude. Much more, however, is uppre-
linialud throughout the manufacturing districts
than the effects of any partial violence committed
by a town mob, actuated by the hopes of plunder.
We are told by the highest authority, that those
who call themselves Reformers are regularly trained
and disciplitied, and in proof of this alarming state-
ment, we are apprised of individuals who are known
to be employed in the dangerous duty of teaching
others the use of the pike—that large bodies assem-
ble even in the day-time, to accustom themselves
to move in compact bodies—that they are practised
to obey the word of cominand—and that one ruffian
eels heard to remark, when informed that the
Manchester Meeting was postponed, " So much
the better, it will give us inure time to drill."
That the Government have been misinformed on
the point we firmly believe, and that the parti-
cular instances here recited are either wholly false
or extremely exaggerated we entertain not the re-
motest doubt; et all events, nothing can be more
impolitic than for the Government itself to trumpet
forth its alarms, and the greutness end extent of
the dangers that encompass it. This is the most
efiectuel way of giving confidence to the disaffect.
ed, and of inspiring them with an idea of their
• lan importance. Vigilance is, of course, to be
exercised—and the country would be as well aware,
mild as fully appreciate the prudence displayed by
the Government, the firmness of its conduct, and
the propriety of its measures, even though less were
talked of the magnitude of the danger anal the ex-
traordinary depth of the wisdom of Ministers. It
bespeaks a contemptible imbecility in the Servants
of the Crown to pull' up into fictitious importance
such men as HUNT, HARRISON, or JouNsoN.—
Would such characters have received the foul-
mouthed adulation of the mob, had net the Alinits-
ters brauded them as objects of ministerial hatred,
and testified the dangerous magnitude of their
power by the awful display of military strength ?
It cannot be all fatuity, there must be some motive
to such conduct, and it is for the reflecting portion
of the people to look to it. Had the Ministers
concealed their alarm, while they yet adopted suf-
ficient precautions to prevent the possibility of
dangers, we should not have witnessed so many
merlins of the people as have been held in the
country. They gave an interest to such assem-
blies which otherwise could not have belonged
to them, and every fellow who has had impu-
dence enough to push himself forward on such
occasions niust for the moment partake of it.—
They have themselves created the objects of their
future triumph. as the rays of the sun are fabled
to have produced the monster which subsequently
became the victim of his taresigth.
