ARRIVAL OF

MR. FROST IN MONMOUTH.
MONMOUTH, NOT. 6.
This morning (Wednesday) a little before eleven
o'clock, Mr. Frost and Partridge, the printer, were
brought to this tosin, accompanied by a party of the 12th
Lancers. They were in two carriages, and were brought
off at once to the county gaol, where they now lie se-
cured. It waa apprehended that an attempt might be
made to rescue them, but no such thing occurred. The
road from Newport to Monmouth, about twenty miles,
was quite tranquil, not a Chartist to be seen. On the
sth of November, a party of the 10th Hussars arrived
in Newport, from Bristol. Everything in Newport
seems now quite quiet. The examination of the pri-
soners, and the inquest on the bodies, are to take place
this day.
I shall now give you some account of the proceedings
in this town (Monmouth).
The first intelligence of any intended rising that
reached us here was conveyed in a letter received on
Sunday evening by Thomas Dyke, Esq., the Mayor,
from the Mayor of Newport. It stated that he had
received information that the Chartists intended to
make a movement, and that their final object was to
make an attack on the county gaol, in order to release
the prisoner, Vincent. Preparations were immediately
made ; the soldiers, a company of the 12th Lancers sta-
tioned here, were kept in readiness, and patrols were
sent about the town all night. The next morning a
number of special constables were sworn in, and all
Monday and Tuesday night patrols continued to re-
connoitre.

One man came into the town on Tuesday night and
gave information before the Magistrates, that he had
been called up from his bed on Sunday night by a party
of Chartists who came to his house, that he was forced
to accompany them, which he did for some distance, and
then contrived to effect his escape. He also stated
that printed cards were circulated amongst them, on
which it was fixed that they should attack Newport on
the 3d, and then march on to Monmouth on the 6th.
where they were to be joined by a party from Man-
chester. This last intelligence caused some alarm ; the
patrols were kept up all night ; however, all has passed
off quietly, aid up to this day (Wednesday), there is
not the slightest appearance of any disturbance. I have
seen Frost and Waters ; he appears rather dejected.
He and Partridge are now in the gaol on a charge of
high treason.
FARTHER PARTICULARS.

The Mayor of this town has this morning received a
letter from the Secretary of State, intimating to him
that eight companies of the 25th Regiment of Foot
were immediately to be sent to this town from Winches-
ter, one troop of horse, and two field pieces. A letter
was also received last night by the Mayor from Mr.
Phillips, the Mayor of Newport, from which the fol-
lowing is an extract :

" The night has passed off quietly, and nothing like a
rioter is to be seen in the town. I think you have
nothing to fear. The blow struck here yesterday, will,
no doubt, have the desired effect. It is due to the in
habitants to say that they have acted nobly, and that
every man has done his duty."
There is at present a large guard of constables at the
gaol. It will be kept up during the night, and until the
military arrive. Should any thing further occur I shall
communicate it to you. It is the opinion now in some
quarters that an attempt might still be made upon the
gaol, so that there will be no relaxation in the precau
tions which have hitherto been taken.
