Rumours are in public circulaiian, relative to a
change of Ministry. Several Journals hive inti-
mated, and even announced. that M. Gouviun Sr.

this is as yet doubtful, and we have not noticed the
subject, becattee we do not distinctly perceive what
la ;ii be expected from a ministerial revolutidm.
ialisocertain is, that the pulalic eagerly ar.ite
se reports of changes, amid this at least proves
that the event is desired. It is even a proof shut
the accomplishment will take place, because it is
difficult for a ministry to resist public opitdon, thus
strongly expressed.
If we were to inquire into the origin of these ru-
mours. they might perhaps be traced to the ap-
proach of tine Elections, which hitherto have pe-
riodically dissolved all our Ministries; unless the
belief should be preferred that the Cuogress of

SATURDAY. AUGUST 46..1119.

The Ministerial Papers evince so great an anxiety
to prove that the Manchester cavalry did not use
:the sphres its their first charge open the defenceless
1111(1 unoffending multitude, on Monday the 16:h
instaist, that one would suppose there could be no
violence committed by trampling the petiole under
their horses' fret. If a wound were inflicted, a
limb broken, or a life destroyed, these writers, we
presume, would count it as nothing, provided they
could 'hew that the accident happened merely front
the gallopping of the carsFy over the bodies of the
miserable sufferers. We however must confess,
that to as it appears a matter little worth the trou-
ble of inquiry, whether the personal injuries sus•
tamed on that occasion were inflicted by the mine
of a dragoon, or the hoof of the dragoon's !vase ;
to the sufferers themselves we can easily believe
that it is a matter of perfect indifference ; hot
considering the entire transaction in • political
point of view, and with reference to its effects
upon the integrity of the Constitution, we are well
assured 'hut neither the law nor public opinion
would coutiesctiol to take notice of any distinction
so imaginary. ‘Vhes a great constitutional ques-
tion, involving the dearest and moat valued rights
that belong to us as members of society, demands
our attention, they must be drivellers indeed who
'could suffer their minds to be diverted from the
great point at issue to an inquiry SO contemptibly
trifling. It is suflicient for us to know, that a
meeting of the people, publicly convened for a legal
and constitutional purpose—peaceably and orderly
proceeding in the discharge of its cluties—comtnit-
ling no offence against either person or property—
end apparently contemplating no riot or breach of
the peace, was without soy just pretence assailed
by a military force, and dispersed with circum-
stances of extreme tiolence. The inflict' of
wounds, or even of death, however it might uggra-
rate the moral crime of the agents in that scene, is
but secondary in importance to the outrage inflict-
ed upon the rights sod privileges of the people.
This is only an incident to the greater injury against
the Constitution, but which no doubt has operated
as it ought its exciting a lively indignation in the
public mind against the aggressors, because it
affords incontrovertible evidence of the spirit in
which the orders of the Magistrttes were conceived.
and of the temper with which they were carried
into execration by the yeomanry of Manchester.
Of the principles avowed by those who call
themselves Reformists, we entertain the most de-
vout abhorrence; because they are utterly
iucou-
sietent with the British Constitution, and have in
some weak and iiiconsiderate minds thrown a dis-
credit upon the sentiments of those enlightened
friends of good order and social happiness who
would really and bunts fide remove, with gentle
bands, the imperfections and abuses introduced by
time into our system, and restore it, if not to
theoretical and ideal beauty, at least to such a state
of practical excellence as would preserve its spirit
and increase its strength. But it is nut for us, or
those who may share our opinions, to prescribe to
others the political sentiments they ought to adopt;
the operation of the mold ought to have every
possilsle freedom, for by that means alone can
truth be developed ; it is enough if the peace of
society be preserved, and while that primary object
of all government is secured, even the Refornitsts
ought not to be debarred the esijoyment of the pri-
vileges *enured to all alike by the forms of the Cckl
esitution. If this general right be denied to them,
•hat power can guarantee the possession of it
to 'toy other persons within the State ? This
question every mao who wishes to be free should
put to himself, and he will find that, how-
ever his own opinions on politics may differ from
those of the unfortunate Reformists at Matt-
chesters their wrongs, as fellow-whjects, closely
affect his own interests—and that if, from a dislike
of their doctrines or from 4rsotial hatred or con-
tempt for their leaders, he should regard their *of-
fering* with apathy, he will betray Isis own rights,
II and eventually forfeit the privileges which give
him the port sod character of a freeman. We
would wish most anxiously to distinguish between
Mr. HONT as the leader and chanitnon of the Re-
formists, uud Mr. HuNT se the object of magisterial
persecution. Let him in his first character be co-
vered with contempt and obloquy ; but the public
csunot forget that in his person, in his second
character, must be tried the right of the people to
meet iu public for the purpose of discussing their
wrongs, devising remedies, sad preparing petitions
to the Sovereign sod the Legislature.
An Evening Treasury Print, by way of proving
I " that the military must have used great caution in
their mode of dispersing the mob on the ifitli,”
says, that only three instances of death have oc-
curMd, " and one of timer, es our readers limns is
one of .the constables." Nothiug can more clearly
show the cooties of the nulitirys titan to kill three
persona (not counting the esoundtd), one of them
being of their own friends I. Considering the im-
mensity of the crowd, we question whether, without
