Companies of a Regii‘irtit, and may be unavlidable; yet
the exceeding difference of she prices of them (a* appears
in evidence before the Court)\Vas not. warranted by any

that ilw Psisoner limit any stilts to aitertaia the grounds of
such excessive variety of prices.
" The Court, in consequence of the above opinion, and
filidine IM all the charges preferred against Lieutenant-Cu.
lonel I'. T. Robertiiii, does 'entree? him to be Cashiered.
" The Court having delivered its opinion and sentence,
adverts to the otwervationa it made in she course of its pro-
ceedings to Lieutenant Colonel Ritherton, ferreting the
infraction of the Standing Orders of the Regiment, which
he imputed to Brevet• Major Campbell.
" The Court remarks that Lieutenant-Culonel Roberton

ing Order' on the point in (merlins' ; suit further, it appears
the Standing Orders which Lieutenant-Colonel Roberson at-
tempted to set forth as being in force bad never been com-
municated to the Officers of the Regiment. for the Actin
Adjuitaiii, sod Lieutenant-Colonel De Csiurcy, now cow-
mend of the Regiment, both declared that they had sieves
been in possessi of them.
" The Court deems it further its ditty to comment an the
very unusual course permed by Lieutenant !WON es •p-
-' pears from his own evidence, in ordering Private Cobnitie
to be confined on the report made by the Serjeant-Majire,
that be did not know what might be the conseiteences is the
Company of Ciiburue's conduct ; yet Lieutenant Russ him-
self eckilowledges in his evidence, that he took no step that
eight to investigate into ibis alleged mistrondoct, nor did
he, though his Captain was present with the Regiment,
make any report of it to him, or to the Commanding Otfi-
eer, till the next day."
The Prince Regent is pleased, in the name and on she
behalf of his Majesty, to approve and confirm the finding
and sentence of the Court.
" His Royal Highness at the same time considers the it-
regularities which appear upon the face of these proceedings
to have deranged the whole system of discipline and interior
economy in the 13111 (or Kings) Regiment, as calling fir a
decided mark of his reproof arid diopl e, not only as es-
sential to the reestablishment of good order in this oil sail
distinguished corps, but as a warning to every Regiment
in the service, that a strict suit punctual adherence to his
Majesty's Regulations, in all their detail, is enjoine.l and
expected from them t and it appearing from the proceedings
of this Court Martial, as if the practice and the convenience
of the moment were permitted in many invasive" to super-
sede the strict observance of the Roles mid Regulations laid
down by his Majesty's Orders, his Royal Highness considers
it essential to apprize the whole army, that no practice can
be permitted to sanction the most trivial deviation from
those Regulations; and that whoever in the command of
Regiments permits such irregular practice, must du so at
his and their peril.
From the tenor or these proceedings the Prince Regent
is pleased to command that •Il promotion shall be plopped

The Commander-in-Chief directs that the foregoing

WEDNESDAY. Surrtusga ri, 1119•

The Treasury Journals have been for some time
insulting the public. by asserting that the conduct
pursued by the Magistrates and yeomanry of Man-
chester had met with the general concurrence of the

country. Their argument in support of this (we
use the word in courtesy) would indeed be consi-
dered somewhat singular if it had proceeded from
any other quarter, for they pretended that because
only the Common Council of London, the inhabi-
tants of IVestminster, and the citizens of Norwich,

had publicly expressed their horror at the shameful
transaction, therefore the people of England in ge-
neral appro►ed of an outrage committed—not mere-
ly upon a certain cumber of unoffending, unarmed,
and unresisting men and women—but upon the

d t and most valuable of their privileges as
freemen. The grounds of this pretence, however,
will shordy be much contracted, if not wholly re-
moved, fur public meetiag', sanctioned in most in-
stances by the local Magistrates, either are at this
moment in the act of deliberation, or have been

convened for the purpose of collecting the public
opinion upon an event hitherto unparalleled in the

annals of this country, but which nothing but the

energetic expression of public indignation can pre-
vent from being established into a most dangerous
precedent. Yesterday we published a report of •
meeting of the inhabitants of the Ward of Cripple-
gate, at which the proceedings ut Manchester were
warmly censured ; and we shall within the course of
this week have, we doubt not, to perform the satis-
factory duty of communicating sentiments to the
cane effect from the various public meetings of the

Borough, of several Wards of London, of York,
Leer'', Portsmouth, and many other places. We
also stated yesterday that signatures were collecting
to a requisition, calling on the High Sheriff of
Essex to convene a county meeting for the purpose
of considering the conduct of the Manchester Ma-
gistrates, and their respectable compeers the yeo-
manry cavalry ; and should the High Sheriff con-
sent, we entertain sangui►►e hopes that at a county
meeting we shall find the independent gentlemen
of E•sex demanding redress for violated ►ights, and
offering a noble example to the other counties in the
kingdom of the line of conduct which on so vital
an emergency becomes the character of the gentle-

PRANIVOZT, SEPTEMBER fl.
Now that the Congress at Carlsbad is broken '
up, there is a report of • new Congress to be
hell at Vi-ona, fur the purpose of finally con-
firming %%lint was previously discussed at Cads-
b.id. M. Sehenell, President of the Society of
German Merchant*, has invited all the foreign
merchants who are here at the fair, to assemble on
the 14:h of this month, in order to receive a com-
munication of great importance to the trade of
Germany. Some of the students at Jens insulted
the Hanoverian Minister, Count Munster, on his
passage through that town, upon los return from
Carlsbad. Many others, however, have expressed
their indignation at till. proceeding, and have pub-
halted their sentiments in the Newspapers.
HAGUE, SEPTEMBER 16.
The King's Household is not expected here till
next month : the palaces of his Majesty and of the
Prince of Orange are putting iu order. Hotels are
also hired and putting in order fur the Foreign Am-
bassadors, who are not yet provided with any Ft.

men of England.
The Treasury Prints ask, with an insulting sneer,
why the great body of the Whigs do not come for-
ward on this occasion ? To which we answer, that
the proper opportunities for so doing have not yet
presented themselves; many of the Whigs, how-
ever, have individually expressed their decided con-
demnation of the proceedings at Manchester. But
why should this appellation, expressive solely of
love and veneration to the Constitution in its pre-
sent form, be denied to the Common Council of
London, and the City of Norwich, that has ever been
emphatically considered the seat of Whiggisin ?
Lord RA NCLIFIrg has arldre,.sed the people of Not-
tingham on the subject, and the Marquis of 1.41
VISTOCK has remitted a sum of money to the Man-
chester Committee—thereby couveyilig the senti-
ments of the greet host of Whiggism, the illus-
trious House of Russell. Theta are, however,
litany of the Whigs who think it more consistent
with propriety to reserve the expression of their
opinions on this subject until they can make them
known with effect in Parliament, unless circum-
stances and opportunities. uncalled for by them,
should previously arise, requiring • more imme-
diate avowal of their sentiments. Nor can it be
concealed. that the ruffian cooduct of certain of the
vilest demagogues has rendered it almost as irk-
some for the Whigs now to appear at a public
meeting as for any of the rankest Tories. Forgetful
at once of their own ioxnediste interests, and of the
vast services performed in this country by the
Whigs in the promotion of general freedom, the
people foolishly lend their ears to the false and
Mischievous calumnies propagated against them by
a set of low and designing miscreants, who seek to
destroy all public confidence in men of rank and
virtue, that they might more easily abuse the pub-
lic mind, and promote the general dismemberment
of society.
Let not the Magistrates of Manchester, however,
nor their abettors, lay to their souls "the flattering
unction," that because the voice of public indigna-
tion may have hitherto appeared slow in its expres-
sion, they will therefore escape. The torrent is
jolt beginning to collect, end will be the more
fierce and terrible in proportion as it has been hi-
therto restrained. The strength of judgment, coo.
