No one can be mistaken v. jib nilkilea to the views
of the I,,tiglii.liGovcrlllnvilt, when it caused to be
iklierted in ►ts daily papers of the 30th of April, that
an insurrection bad broken out m St. Peteisb►►rgh,
and that the Emperor itt.axawnli,i; was either killed
or sent into confinement. It is easy to perceive That
the English Ministers, being excluded from all cow,
rnnuication with Russia, want to make people be,
lieve that theystill preserve sorno relations there, and
for that reason they make men►ion of. calamities
which have not the least foundation. We should
think it 4n insult to our Readers seriously to give the
lie to such fietions. At Paris we receive, every day,
letters from St. Petersburg!); and every thing an-
nounces that the greatest tranquillity prevails in
those countries, that there exists no faclion whatso-
ever, and that the Emperor of RUS6IA bears the sole
sway of his extensive dominions.

LIISTII/iBANCES IN LANCASIIIRR.--Wittilve every
'reason to' believe that many of the acCotints
ed on this Subjea, are somewhat exaggerated. At
Manchester all is tranquil Of the rioters lodged in
the New 'Bailey, one has been committed for trial,
five for further examination, and one reminded.—
The Coroner's verdict on the body of the man mien,:
tioned to have been killect last week, was justifiabk
homicide. To the widow and family of this unfor-
tunate man the officers and privates of the 4tl) dra7
goons have each honourably contributed one day's
pay. ” Though reports are spread that several peo-
ple were killed, we can state (says the Manchesier
Chronicle) that this was the 'ON!, person who lost.
his life. The newly. arranged prices are not -(says
the same paper) pf the satista&ory nature expelled,
and it appears td common observers, that from the
complex nature of the manufadure, the frequent
variation to the price of the raw material, and the
fluctuating and speculative nature of trade, that a -
' price though it may be easily understood and _.riA
fated betzeen the employer and, the enyloyed, 26;
cording to existing circumstances, yet it eVil'acarcely
be permanently reduced to a fixed !..,cale.'
At Blackburn and other places, similar dispositioni
to
,tumult have been evinced; but all now appears
to be tranquil ; and no very marked excess have
been committed; except the colletiing in many in-
stances by force, the shuttles from such weavers as
were disposed to work.

With regard to what may save happened at &eh:.
dale, there seems also to have been some exaggera
tion. The Manchester paper does not even Mew-
tion the circumstance. We are however informed
that on Tuesday things had assumed so serious an
appearance as to oblige the Magistrates to make ap»
plications for military aid. In consequence ihe Heti-
faxVolunteets, cc inianded by Cci. HoxTom, and thd
West Halifax).comtnaink,i by Col. Moose, assem-
bled immediately on the sumtnOns/stid marched
the same evening for Rochdak (tff Miles ilk 140
most drenching rain we alrnoqt ever remember.-1
The day and night following they were emits wed is
the new Church, and on Thursday even;n: (all being
quiet) marched home, .after having rek ci,,:d the
warmest thanks of the Magistrates and Moab-it:tuts
in general. The former corps mustered 900
nnd of the West Halifax, °robe roll being called on
Wednesday, only eight men were wanting ; three
of whom were sick and five in work at such dish
stance as to preclude the possibility of their attend.

, TheWf,-4 ax, considering their services.might
be useful, proposed to continue at Rochdale, oa duty
lot 14 days, instead of marching to Wakefield,
where they were expe6ted on Tuesday.
A letter, dated Manchester, the Bth•inst. says
" The aath legitnent (hitely general Wurrita,
LOCKE'S), the 45th, and the Ist Dragootk Guards,
have arrived here in the course of the last four
days/ and wore are expeded, but for what reason
weltnow not, as every thing is peaceable. Ten thou-
send men, it la smid, will he stationed in this towil
and neighbourhood, under the connnandof a Gene.
ral Officer."
