Parliament. .

Mr. ABERCROMEY and Mr. TIERNEY opposed it.
Mr. WHARTON and Mr. DAVIS GIX support-
ed the grant.

The Conimittee was 'about to divide, when if
was sugtre,ted by Mr. Tonsdnby that• there were
riot 40 Members present, and the motion was al-
lowed' to be withdrai;vn.

Mr. Wwirrto.N moved the grant of 1.5,553.1. far

Mr. It. MARTI:4 said, that no lecs a sum than
225,000./. had been expended -on the Mint, since
it haliceased to coin for the public
Mr. WHARToN stated that the turn in question
was due for building's ' • and he was confident the
estimate would cover the expence.

Tierney, Mr: Abercrombie, Mr. Rose, Mr. Pon7
sonby,' and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the

Lord CASTLEREAGH hoped it would be conve-
nient for his Right Hon. Friend to postpone his

Mr. SHERIDAN agreed to the postponement.
Sir F. BURDETT proposed that there should be

~ REPORT
FROM=
THE •cOMMITTEE -OF SECRECY.

The Committee of Seerecy, to whom Copies of the Infor-
mation which has been. received, relative'to certain vio-
lent Proceedings, which, in .defiance• of the Laws, -have
taken place,-and continue to be carried on, in several,
Counties of England (sealed up); were referred, haVe,
pursuant to the Order of the House; examined the mat-
ters thereof, and haVe agreed to the following Report.

Your Committee having examined the papers
'and documents referred to them, are concerned to
state, that from the several sources of information
therein contained, it • appears, that for some'
months past serious and alarming disturbances,
destructive to property, arid highly dangerous 'to
private safety and the public peace, have prevail-
ed in a wry extensive and populous manufactur-
ing district, comprising certain parts of Lanca-
shire and of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and
certain parts of Cheshire bordering upon Lanca-
shire.. •

That the outrages in the above- district, brought
to the notice of your Committee, commenced
about, the end of February last, and continued
. (though not without •occasional 'variation and
temporary .abate!nent) to-. the latest period (the
23d of,dune) at,witich any information has been.
received. During this period, Rioters .in large
numbers .have assembled in the night time ; • some
of them, diguised by blackened, faces, some
armed with guns and pistolS, and others with the
implements of their,trade, to.be used as offensive
weapons, have broken into various houses, parti-
cularly.those of the rnanufabtuters who made use
of shearing ftiames, have destroyed the machinery,
sometimes plundered the inhabitants, and burnt
their honses and; factories, 'exciting and keeping
up perpetual terror in the country, by threaten-
ing' letters and -other means of intimidation, oc-
casionally executing their threats against prO-
prietoFs and others, not only by the destinotion.
Of the property, but by firing into the houses. It
appears HISA)„ that in some :instances attempts-
have been ni4de on the lives of those who had
been, actively employed in enkaVouring to sup-
press the tumults ; and the atrocious murder of
Mr. HOrsfall, 'a very respectable manufacturer in,
the neighbourhood of Fluddersfield, in the, month
of April, by four men, Who fired, at him with
slugs in the public road, iu broad day, together
with the other acts of violence, caused agreat and
general consternation all over the district.

. .
- It may be proper to add, that parties- of the
Rioters assembled; have, in Several instances de-
manded and obiained_ money from individuals by
threats and terror. . . .

Your Committee•do not think it necessary to
describe the numerous acts of outrage that have
been committed, conceiving. it sufficient for the
purposes of the Report, to inform the House of
the general state of the •disturbed 'parts, without
any particular detail of:specific facts
The object of these lawless proceedingS4 at the
commencement of them, appears to have been, the
destruction of machinery : But very early in their
progress, another object, still more fo,rinidabl, to
the. public security, has• been developed ; large
bodies of men having assembled in the night,
breaking open houses, and demanding arms. with
threats and violence. This practice has' been
actively persevered in ;, and though in some cases
the plunder of property has, accompanied both. the
destruction of machinery. and the demanding of
arms, yet It is material to observe, that in general
these Ovo' objects seem exclOsively to have been
aimed at ; and when these had been attaincd;ever-y
'other species 'of •property, though - within their
reach, has, inmost instances, remained untouched.
It is stated, that in the neighbourhood of Hudders-
field, all the arms have been taken ; and that in
other parts the seizure oftthem has been • consi-
derable ; and 'there is reason to appiehendi that
the Rioterg have different sorts of arms concealed.
It appears evident to your. Committee, that these
outrages have not been committed from any sud-
den impulse of unconnected individuals, but have
been the result of. organised systems of unlawful
violence ; that language of the most mischievous
nature has been. used among the rioters,' and
sort of military 'training and discipline has been
established.

In making attacks upon houses, they sometimes
appear to have been under the.controul a leaders,
and to have acted upon signals. Rolls have been
called over, distinguishing every man, not by his
name, but by a number ; rockets and blue lights
'have been seen aenight, which are stated, by the
persons making the communications; to have
been signals made use of. by the Rioters. It-is
also represented; that there are establishments
of Committees, under the name, of Local Com-,
mittees, Secret, Committees; and Ricecutive Com-
mittees, that they use signs and countersigns,. to
guard them against the intrusion of informers ;
and that they carry on their proceedings with the
greatest secrecy and caution.

It appears also that delegates for various Pla.cerfi
have been appointed, and meetings of those dile:-
gates oneationally held;- that there is.• g freiluez±i
communication between the severdl 'conirnittees
alid towns, not thi.cugh the ordinary-conveyance
of the•Post-Oft ce, but through the mediuth of de.;.
legates ; and that the following oath has been ek-
tensively administered :
"I A. B. of my own voluntary will, do decire
" and solemnly swear, that I will never reveal to
" any peison or persons, in ally place or plaees
" under the, canopy of Heaven, the names .of the
" persons who compose the secret committee; ei-
" ther by word, deed, or sign ; their proceedings,
" meeting place, abode, dress, features, marks,
" complexion, conneetious, or any thing else
that may lead to the discovery of the same; on
" the penalty of being put out of :he world by the
" first brother that shall ;neet me, my name and
•‘ character blotted out of existence, and never be'
" remembered but with contempt and abhorrence:
further swear, that I will use my best enda-
'":.Vours to punish by death any traitors, should
."..any,risvr up amongst ' us, he or them ; and
" though he should fly to the verge of nature,. I
" will pursue him with unceasing vengeance.—
So help me God, to keep this oath inviolable."
It appears that they who' were sworn in were
to
.pay the weekly sum of tWopence ; and that in
the meetings of delegates at Manchester, frthri the
neighbouring towns, discord has occasionally
arisen, frOm some of the delegates, not bringing
from their' 'respective districts the contributions
that were, due,. NO evidence or information that
has been laid before your ComMittee justifies the
supposition that any sums Of. money have been'
distributed among the rioters.
It appears also, that attempts have been made
to •create a persuasion aniongst the persons en-
gaged in these disturbances, tha t their proceedings
are -likely to- be supported by similar combinations
in London-and in other parts of Great-Britain, al
well as in Ireland.; and that they areeoun tenanced
-by individuals of a higher - class and description,
who arc to-declare themselves at a future time.
But no evidence has been laid before your Com.:
mittee to sanction any. suchreports,
It appears to your Committee, that even in the
cases in which the outrages have teen most clearly
ascertained, it has been found extremely difficult,
and in some instances impossible, to obtain evi-
dence as to the persons by whom they were cum-
mitted.

.Of the numbers associated in the different parts
parts of the disturbed district, your Committee have
not any information that can be satisfactorily relied
upon ; but that it is considerable, the Papers laid
before them give sufficient ground to think. Neither
can they presume to state, what is the ultimate
object, the persons thus associated have in view,
nor for what precise purpose it is that these ex-
tensive combinations have been formed. But
whatever maybe the object, or whoever may 1)e the
secret movers,whether these combinations are con•
tined to purposes'relating exclusively to trade, or
-whateveradta.ntage has been taken of the distresses
of the times to drew together, under that pre-
tence, all disontented persons, with views here-
after to be developed; yet the secrecy and method
apparent in the whole arrangement, the sys
teen of terror so industriously enforced by. threats,
a”assinatica, and attempts at, assassii ation; the
the Oath administered, the eagerness _and'activity
in prolCuring arms., and the training, before men;
tioned, are all circumstances Which have not
failed. to impress upon- the minds of your COM.-
mitta a strong sense of the danger arising
from such combinations, to the peace and secu-
rity of the Country.

We have received Barbadoes Papers to the
20th, from= which we have made the following
•
extract

. .
, his Excellency the Governor, with that hu-,
mane and generous attention Which marks his
put ic and private character, having received
a communication from the President Oi St.
Vincent, stating the distresses to which the
'inhabionts were likely to -become subjett, in
consequence of the destruction of most of
their negrO provision grounds by the late dis-
aster which befel that Island, immediately called
a meeting of the Legislature, with a view of de-
vising the best mode of contributing to their re-
lief; and his summons,being fully attended to, and -
the President's letter laid before them, the Mem,
bers came to the very laudable resolution of ap-
propriating, out of the funds of this Treasdry, the
sum of 2000 pounds currency; to be laid out in
flour, rice, corn, and corn ideal, as being the articles
of which they were likely to be Most essentially in
need. The Treasurer of the Island, C.A.IIOwELi.,
Esq. very readily undertook the manag.ement of
this vote; and indefatigably attended to its com-'
.pletion, a vessel having been dispatched yesterday
with 50 barrels superfine flour, 20 tierces rice,
and 1300 bushels of corn ; which, it is to be
hoped, will reach them in time to meet any exi- ,
gericy that may exist:
_s

The' treaty between Russia and Turkey, is said,
to consist of seven articles, of .which only the
follow-ink have transpired :---,That Russia_ Nt'kfS to
abandon all her corrquests on the south of the
Pruth, 'and to make that river her. boundary;--
that the Porte was,to cede 'Choctim to the Rug-,
sians that in case of Austria - furnishing
troops in the war with Russia, the Porte was to
send 40;000 men fully equipped, to her assist-,
ance.

- Advices from St, Domingo; to the 2d MO',
state, that Christophe had sustained three several
defeats before Port-au-Prince, on the two last
days of April, and the Ist of May. His whole-
army, with which he presented himself at the
gates of that city, amounted only to 11,000 men-r-
-that of PETION was 16,000.
Captain the -Earl of -TVRCOINEL, of the Ist
Foot Guards, and one of the Aides-de-Camp to his
Royal Highness the Cominander _in thief, left
town on Saturday last,. it is understood, to pro-
ceed on a mission, to the hea&quarters of the
Russian army.
The American ship' ronquin, Thorn, was at.
tacked in September last near Nootka Sound, by
the Indians, who murdered all the crew except
the Captain and ()tie tnan, who seeing no proba-
bility in escaping, blew themselves up with the
ship.

was so dark. The Trethendous was eight or
nine miles nearer the enemy at sun-set, than the
Poictiers ; every exection was made to keep sight
of the Tremendous during the night of the 10th.
I .do not think 'we could have made a signal to

MR. ED:Tot,
Liberality, as it is termed, . is ..now tie
order of the days that reason and gccd sense 3,.!cri.
banished. The people of England arc led-to think,
by this same liberality, Unit the Irish, Catholics,
or rather the Irish Catholic demagogues (for the
great body of the Irish Catholics, namely, the
peas'antry and lower mechanics, are as ill-noran,t
of and indifferent about Emancipaticn as the na-
ties of China), will be content if their claims be
fairly. and
_calmly considered by the Legislature.
It is to be hoped that the proteedidgs at the
last Aggre,gate Meeting of the Demagogues, held
in the .city of- Dublin, will, help to remove the
fAhn of and enable the people of Eng-
land to see' the conduct of those men torough the

MR. EDITOR,

Though we know not. what may be the: ncport
of Vaccine Beard, because it' is not printed,
yet_ it is proper that it should be known. that a
daughter of Mr. Morris, apothecary, in ChandoS-
street, now lies tll with the natural Stnall-pox.---.-
She was vagginated in her infancy, and the scar is .
remarkably evident.—She..was._ afterwards inocu-
latell without taking the infection,;-- she stood the
test of security while her two brothers.la'eoured
under Small-pox, and now, by the visitation of'
Heaven, and the natural order of things, she is
suffixing a dangerous disease which she might
more easily have escaped.
This is the second instance of Cow-pox failure

Several other -witnesses, 'belongin g to, the tradr,
, •
said, that they had found it necessary, for the
purpose, of distinguishing _their pigs after the;
were se-alded, to inflict wounds upon their noses
before they began to -slaughter them. Even a.
man who had been acquainted with a pig, from
"the moment of its birth and nativity, as the in-
terrogating Counsel for the prosecution put the
question, would not be able to distinguish it agal
after it had been scalded.

Eleven witness all concurred in giving the Fri"sone: a good character.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mary Shears stood indicted- for having stolen
ten pounds of fat from "the House of a Navy'
Agent, in- How4d-street, Strand, of the name:.
of Aldridge.
Upon the -3tl of July he had causcto suspect
one of his servants made free with his property,
and-caused the outer door key to be laid upon •
table. He arose before his accustomed time next
morning, and 'going into his study he observed a-
boy, deliver a cloth to the prisoner,' ana
beckon a man, whb came and received the
cloth full of something. The witness advancc":
to the man, and demanded his name and the
boy's"; "they- were called Nag Smith. He-to°1"
them i 9 to 'his room, and examined the cloth,
and found a caul of veal, some glices cf Bain, ail,'
somefat. He challenged the prisoner, who 53i",
she :ared not for his. information; because
she had dispos"ed of was the coanneu perquiiites of
servants.

The 11.r.counra said, he had indicted the pri-
one? -iVrone. • for she was accused of stealillS
fat; and fiothing -
Tbe proceutiir said, that he considered fat to
be the sanie as meat.
The iircoabErt said; that it was.s remarkablc:
that lie, being a punier Of a ship, could uct (1

The 11.2.c0-AtiErt observed to the -Jury, that OP':
not-a -trial- for the thing 'described in the ill--
dictrnent. Meat did not exclude the' idea of faCi
but fat excluded the ilea of meat. - Therefore the
indictment being for fat Clone, they could Dot
find her guilty of stealing meat. If a man Aole $
sheep, they could not find him ;silty of stealing a.
