. . .

I. That the people of this country have a clear constitutional
right to assemble for the purpose of discussing any ;winks'
question. and of petitioning for the redress of any political gram •
once. rhi,h, in Vivo judgnien,, is or may prove to lie injurious
to the life, liberty. or property of the sulijtet.
2. That every attempt to disperse by toter such An asseniWy
(as long a► the ;mums met together conduct themselves petite—
ably. and no overt act of riot is curumitted)cannot be too stiongly
reprobated.
3. That it appears to us, that the magistrates of Manchester
did, on the 16th of August lasi,autliorize the 'unitary to disperse
by force a meting not proved to be illegal, without *nth:tent
ground to justify so harsh a measure. and even xithout having
given due notice of their intention; and that, moreover, the
military appear to have carried their orders into effect without
displaying that moderation and lenity which should always be
entrcised on the most legitimate of such occasions.
4. That, although every friend to rod lib ray might cordially
deprecate the danger of licentious tumult. yet it ought never to
be forgotten. that an attack up•xr our constitutional tights, under
the mask of attachunnt to ordet and government, is, w say the
least of it, equally dangerous.
S. That we observe with deep concern, that his ;Majesty's Mi.
nisters have so precipitately given the weighty sancuon of his
Royal Highness the Prince Regent's approbation to measures of
so dubious& character; and we deeply deplore the advice iecently
given to his Royal Ilighnes, to dismiss from the Lisutentinry of
the West Riding of York a Noblenrui standing jii thy high in
the estimation of his fellu w -country /IWO, taiinent for his virtues,
his loyalty, and patriotism, solely upon the ground of his having
concurred with the county of York in petitioning the Throne for
inquiry into matters so deeply interesung both to the p,:ople and
lb.: Prince.

5. 111 is, therefore, resolved, that a petition be presented to his
Ro.al Highness the Poinee Itegeat. must earnestly requesting
him to recommend to the iu.onshate CptiNitleaittioll of Vartianteut
the necessity of imaitutirig are areurate and solemn inquiry into
the real state of those unfortunate transaction. which limo:excited

LONDON, 31oMMY, NOVEMBER •.

Three o'clock, p. m.
A Dutch Mail has brought Papers to the 3d inst.
The following is an extract :

Mvracrt, Ocr. 22.
By a Decree of his Majesty of the 14th September, flue

festival of the itefura.ation is to he celebrated every year
hi all the Piotestant churches In the kingdom of linvaria.
`4Sitada,, the Slot OetoLer, is fixed for this solemnity, of
which writtta &watt has been given to all the Pa utestant

An article from Brussels states, that the French
:Government a...ems to attach ..resit importance to the
present state of things in England; for it has given

orders at Calais to transmit immediately to Paris, by
ttelegraVaic bulletins, any •important news which may
arrive from •thin country. It was feared that the
great Meetings of Refinw, announced fur the let
of November, might lead to fatal consequences.

Puns Papers of Wednesday and Thursday last
hare arrived, , but they contain no intelligence ,
much political importance.
It,is gated, with an evident feeling of satisfaction,
glad " the Emperor Alexander has ..acended to the
.re‘olutions adopted by the Assembly of Princes and
Ministers at Carlsbad, but that." he defers to some

,more convenient season . various territorial arrange-
lnents relative to foland and the secondary states of
-Gt.rinany:" Probably his Imperial Majesty will
_condescend to inform " the secondary states of Ger-
many" „of the fate which awaits them, when he shall
have met his brother despots in Congress at Vienna
The Paris Papers communicate no intelligence.'
resrecting the progress of disease in the, South of
Spain; but in announcing the ceremonies which
were observed on the entrance .of the :Queen into
Madrid, they prove the liveliness of the apprehensions
eitcrtained in the capital with-regard to,the virulence
or the contagion. The authorities of the city, fearing
lest some persons from the infected places might
iatroduce themselves amidst the concourse of peo-
ple collected by curiosity .to w itness the Queen's
entrance, issued an edict, imposing a fine of 40
ducats, upon any individual entering Madrid without
a passport; but .should the individual so entering
without a passport be from any part of Andalusia
not infected by the disease, he should pay a fine of
100
,ducats, and be milled from Madrid for two
years.; but should he come from any place actually
infected, the edict declares that he should suffer
DEATH.

Theatate.of the Exchanges, always an important
,consideration in a commercial country, now derives
an additional interest from the influence they are
tayposed to possess on the price of bullion, las
the period is approaching when the first prelimi-
nary step towards p:,yanents in specie is to be taken,
i.'t pursuance of a plan adopted by the Legislature,
after a most laborious and patient investigation.—
The subject is already among the leading topics of
discussion in the city, and is viewed with a degree
of anxiety commensurate to its real or imagined
bearings on the general interests of the community.
A continued fall in the exchanges, during the last
three weeks of October, attended with a correspond-
ing talvaace, which very rarely fuils to accompany it,
in the price of bullion, has given rise very exten-
sively to.the apprehensi n, that should this state of
things go on at 0:e existing nein, a train of evils
must necessarily
,ensue. The Bank, it is a• serteel,
cannot obtain gold to the extent required to tnlfil
the c.mtlitions ulthe inzav enactment, or, if that diffi-
culty is surmounted, may have its whole stock wit h-
Arawn Ly speculators. titr the purpose of exportation
to the continent. Connected with this state of
things, there must nt:e..sitrily follow, in order to
prevent bankruptcy, is diminution of the issues of
of the Bank, and, with them, of the circulating
Fuedfuta, tending to produce a ruinous depression in

In the value •of all commodities, and a refusal to
nu.irchants of the usual facilities in the way of dis-
counts. This alarm, we believe, is in a great mea-
sure without fbundation. The foreign exchanges
are influenced lit other causes than the excess or
diminution of the circulating medium, and pnum-
pally depend upon the extent of expor a compared
with our imports. At the present moment the re-
gular operations of trade are so limited, that the
fluctuation in the rates of exchange are principally
to be referred to the fivaucial transactions of our
great capitalists, to purchases or sakes, whichever
turn speculation may take, in foreign Funds.—
During the period that the French dividends were
in the course of payment, the exchange in Paris
was high; but when the remittances were completed,
and the payment of the dividends here, with the
opening of the books that had been shut, led to, con-
siderable purchases of French Stock, the effect was
reversed. Things then resumed their natural level;
the exchanges became steady ou.Friday week, and
lon Tuesday and Friday last experienced a. rise, both
days included, of about one half par cent. ; and•
as a proof how directly they are influenced by the
operations of commerce, this rise is attributed solely
to the purchases of indigo made ut the late sales on
foreign account, which would of course be, drawn
for ,as soon as shipped, and which in valise do not.
exceed 300,0001. The quantity of gold that has
been purchased by the Bauk cannot be correctly as-
certained. It is supposed, however, that their pre-
sent stock does not exceed the half of that which
will be required to carry the new measure into ope-
ration. .The rate at which the first issues in gold
bars are to be made is 81s. per ounce, but the mar-
ket priori -is at present 78s. 6.1. and there is every
reason to conclude, that the requisite provision may
be made, certainly without loss, and probably with
a considerable profit. The average amount of bunk
notes• in circulation during the quarter. enJing the
10th ult., as published in compliance with the pro-
visions of the late Act of Parliament, is 25,326,8731.
In the Stock Exchange speenhition is nearly at a
stand and as threeßank holydays occurred during the
week, the operations of any kind have been few and
unimportant, and the fluctuations, in consequence,
immaterial. The prices however, have advanced ;
the rise together to nearly one per cent. . Consols
for the account left off on Saturday at 674. :In
Omnium scarcely any bargains were transacted.—
French Stock has also been rernarkly steady ; even
the period of the liquidations, which.usually take
place on the three first days of the month, having
passed over without produoipg any fluctuation. The
concluding prise from Paris on Wednesday last, was
71£ with 24. 25. for the rate of exchange; in Lon-
don the price is 1-Bth per cent. higher.

The late trials ef,Carlile have given rise to the
remark, that the most powerful opponents to Chris-
tianity in this country were Tories, viz. Hobbes,
Huzue, and Gibbon ; and its most popular advocates
Whigs, Locke, Addison, Paley, and Bishop Watson.
