LONDON.
WEDNESDAY. Avanse le. 1819•

Our expected communication from Manchester
had not arrived last night when this Paper was
put to press. We learn, however, that accounts
have been received, stating, that the Radical Re-
form Meeting was held on Monday at that place,
pursuant to notice, but we trust it will not prove
correct as stated, that it was noti attended with
all the propriety and safety that have characterised
the previous Meetings on the same subject.
Mr. HUNT d►d not disappoint the public expec-
tation; he arrived in due time and form to
take his station as President and principal orator ;
but it is said his speech was interrupted by the
Magistrates, by whose orders himself, and his im-
mediate friends and supporters on the hustings,
were taken into custody. The number of persons
thus arrested is stated at fifteen. Notwithstanding
all the pains taken to guard the Meeting against
being betrayed by any possible provocation into a
breach of the peace, report adds, that a very
serious 'otwit ensued, in which one yeoman and
four or five of the populace were killed.—
The tumult had not subsided when the last ac-
counts came away, but from the preparations made
to restrain all disorder, no further mischief was ap-
prehended. All the military force in the vicinity
had been called in to aid the civil power. The
people had been crowding into Manchester in
all directions from an early hour on Monday
morning, and the amount of the Meeting is esti.
mated at between 30 and 40,000 men.—We do not
!sledge ourselves to the accuracy of this statement ;
we have received it through channels the credit of
which we have no reason to suspect, neither have
we the necessary means of ascertaining it. We give
it as the general rumour of last night.

At the Warwick Assizes a man ,if the name of
Rtniest.t. has been prosecuted fur publishing, about
18 iseimsdis since, a Parody upon the Litany; but
although this was one of those three Parodies for
which WILLIAM HONE was tried roil acquitted in
London, a Warwick Jury has thought proper to
find RUSSELL Guilty. We are not apprised of any
circumstances iu the ease of RUSSELL which could
distinguish it essentially from that of HONE, and
it is very evident that the same act cannot be cri-
initial in Warwickshire, and in Loudou a matter of
mere indifference. Three'distioct Janie., composed
of men 'as respedible as any in the city of Lon-
: on.--who were as capable as soy others of esti-
. mating the probable effects of tech publicitious—
and as unwilling to endanger the security of the
Church and State, declared on their oath,. that,
in their unanimous opinion, such publications were
not calculated to affect the stability of the Church,
or to weaken the empire of religion and morality in
this country. They believed that the publications
were not more mischievous than other productiolis
of a similar kind issuing from the witty pen u
MI. CANNING, and other distinguished Parodists,
who did not hesitate to make the solemnity of
Scriptural language administer to their political
aniumeaties. They judged of them its the light of
political punts, calculated possibly to turn certain
of the Ministers into ridicule, bat not fraught with

any danger to the Constitution. whether acacias-
field or aril; and being too intelligent to confound
the personal feelings or interests at troy set el Mi.

version and satire" with the viability of the shroa's
sod the tifety hubdtitiont, tswy sil•itted

the defeuJant. By these u6rservations, hoetver,
we would not be understood to imply any censure
upon the conduct of the Warwickehirt Jury. We
stub not follow the example of the Tresenry scribes,
who, by censuring the motives of every Jury whose
decision may chance to differ from their opinion of pro-
riety.endenvoor by every means to meekest t he public
esteem for this invaluable mode of trial. The chew
of seeming sincerity upon the part of the prosecu-
tion deceived in the preNent instance the unsuspect-
ing Jurors. The imposing solemnity of the pro-
ceeding. the ingenuity of dnunael, anal the autho-
rity of the Learned Judge on the bench, who told
them that the publication was a libel, and thus
decided Me pied which it was their duty to t►,y—
Iconspired to bewilder and mislead theta, and they
no doubt believed that they were exteedieg their
arms to shield the doctrines of the chum!) from
obloquy and ridicule, at the very moment when,
in their unsuspecting confidence, Clay were beeotn-
ing the instruments of political vengeance.
But widely different is the conduct of those who
have thus endeavoured to stamp with inconsistency
the Trial by Jury, as established in this country.
Can it be expected that the ordivary course ofjudi-
chit proceedings will continue to secure the esteem
and riveretece of the people, if an idea he once
excited that they cannot look to it wills security
end confidence? To their minds no distinction will
be drawn between the determination of II Jury and
the dictate of law, and when they behold Juries pro-
glomming on the same case opinions diametrically op-
posed to each other—see one lasts three times tri-
timpliantly acquitted—distioguiehed by personal
insults of respect and favour by some of the most
eminent individuals in the country, end rising from
poverty to opulence, mid when they turn their eyes to
another part of the country, and there perceive a
second individual denounced as a criminal for the
same act, hurried ignominiously to the receptacle
of felons—himself exposed to all the horrors of pro-
longed captivity, slid his family cotidemned to
wretchedness and want—will they not conclude that
the law is partial and oppressive, that the same
measure of justice is not meted out to all, and that
there isno security in the Trial by Jury, which their
ancestors had foolishly regarded as the best safe-
guard of the subject's liberty, and had bequeathed
to their sons as the must valuable inheritance ?
If this ferlthg should become general, but little
objection %could probably be exp-rieuced from the
greet body of the people in any attempt to remove
.he institution of Trial by Jury altogether.

Rumours of insurrectionary movements in the
southern provinces of Spain prevailed in town yes-
terday. but we are not aware that they rested on
any good foundation. The prevent condition of
that unhappy country, enjoyingoeither respect with-
out, nor security within, where the Government
is as weak as it is odioes, would seem to justify
a ready belief in any such reports. We fear, hem.
ever, that for the present they are somewhat prema•

body of troops assembled at Cadiz, in their late un-
successful mutiny. it is evident that nothing now
seems wanting for an effectual revolution in Spain

It is understood that the Court of France will send
the Count de JAucuußT to represent its interests
iu the Congress of Carlsbad. A private letter from
Dresden asserts, that this Congress, or meeting of
Ministers, will be occupied solely with the affairs of
the inediatised Princes of Germany. This is a
subject of the utmost importance to several of tl►e
German States; fur until the precise rank of these
Princes be ascertained, and their claims and inter•
ests adjusted, it will be difficult. with a due regard
to justice, to form Constitutions that must reduce
them to a level with the ordinary Nobility of the
several States within which these triediatised Princes
chance to be included.
