" Sorrie•idie end evil-disposed parsons endavoured today to
disturb the tranquillity which has reigned without interruption
since we entered this city, by cowardly insulting an officer of
the royal Spanish army. If the rioters think that they can
abase the generous protection which has hitherto been extended
•to -ell, by committing excesses, they deceive theuiselves. Autho-
rity will separate them from the immense majority of peaceful
citi..zens who people this interesting city; it will continue to
protect this Class ; it will favour the royalists, end press with
en iron-hand on the turbulent.
• "In order to avoid in future such culpable attempts, assem-
blages of more than 720 persons, except on the public walks, in
the markets, at the port and exchange, must be dispersed by
the-guards, posts, and patrols. In case the first summons should
not be attended to, recourse will be had to force. The guilty
will be imprisoned. and judged with all the rigour of the laws.

Tun' St tac NYEA3E:t.S.—The Manufacturers and
Committee of Journeymen _Engine Weavers met
again at the King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry,
on Monday night, for the purpose of endeavour-
ing toeffect an amicable adjustment of prices. A
letter, sent by John.Thorp, Esq. to the Secretary
of the Committee, naturally induced an expects.
tion of accomplishing the desired arrangement,
and which, we are happy to say, bids fair to be
speedily attained. The greatest difference existed
in the prices named by the two parties for
the manufacture of galloons, don bles, and
bands ; on these much discussion took place,
'fhcrp having been previously called to
the Chair. They were considered seriatim,
and in each case, after great but fair contention
Cu either side, both parties reduced from their
original terms, and at length compromised at
aboutimif...way of the differences of price asked
and offered. The Committee, however, not
having been vested . with full powers, nothing
could he definitely arranged until they had laid
before the general body of the trade the result of
last night's meeting. A conviction that it would
have their unanimous and speedy assent, was
however expressed, and a determination come to
to call a meeting of their constituents without
loss of time. A most important suggestion was
made, and elicited the unanimous approbation of
the meeting ; it related to a generalization
of prices among the trade, by an under-
standing that the Magistrates of the different
districts should be applied tq, at one and the
same time, to sanction a list of prices to he
previously agreed upon at a public meeting
of the two parties coucerned- in the silk trade.—
The proceedings of Monday nightrellected great
credit upon both sides, for the 'temperance and
the forbearance.'ivith which each advocated the
interests of the body they represented ; and so
general was this feeling-, that at the conclusion of
the business tinfiflcs were unanimously voted to
Mr. Thorp faiyhis impartial conduct in the chair,
and for the disposition he had evinced to effect
an amicable adjustment of the differences which
hare of late existed in the trade.
