O'n the t sth ult. a Requisition, signed by 154 in-
habitants of Manchester and Salford, -and the vicini-
ty, was presented to the Boroughrceve, and Con--
stables, to the following purport :
We whose names are hereunto subQcribed, re-
quest you will convene a public meeting of the town
of Manchester, Salford, and the neighbourhood, to
prepare a dutiful Address to his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, expressive of the strongest assur-
ances of our attachment to his Royal Person, and
of our ardent zeal for the support of his Government."
A meeting was in consequence appointed for
Wednesday, the Bth inst. in the dining-romp, at the
Eichange-buildings, Manchester, at eleven o'clock.
In the mean while innumerable hand-bills, some
of them of an inflammato,y kind, were placarded
in different parts of the town and the neighbour-
hood. One of these contained a copy of the Ad-
dress of the Common Hall, in London ; anwher
was as follows :=
TO. THE INHABITANTS OF MANCHESTER
AND SALFORD.

FELLOW TOW NSMEN,—A. Public Meeting is
convened for the purpose of expressing the,svongest
assurances of attachment to l►is Royal Highness ►he
Prince Regent, and the mo,t ardent zeal in support;
of his Goverumnt.

" This is a measure of panty, and introduced at a
time when you are suffering under distress and
wretchednesS unexampled in its extent apd pressure,
and Anticipating its incalculable increase; when
every rank of society,- from the highest:order in the
state to the meanest of the IThouring poor, is view-
ing with agony the impending and complicated dan,
gets which threaten our very existence. as ;AU inde-
pendent nation. Of the moiives 'of those with
whom the meeting origmated, it is unnecessary to
speak; but I address you from the so'.erno con-
vielion, that by the success of the contemplated
measure, not only your worldly interests, but your
moral and lnyellealual charaaer would be laid pros-
trates--would be delivered, bound for sacrifice, into
the hands of the Minister, and be immolated by him
at the foot of • the Throne—that the smoke of the
offering lc ;girt thicken the vapours of delusion,
which, fatally for you, already surround it. This,
however, will not be, I have no such melancholy
anticipation. I look forward to the defeat et the
attempt with confidence. My hopes in this are
strong, for the object of them is good. , You feel
the dishonour prepared for you, and you will im-
pressively coridernn the sophistry and cant with
which_ it may be recommended.

Fellow Townsmen !—With a national charac-
ter of wisdom and magnanimity—with a form of
Government calculated for comfort, proteaion, and
happinesswith numbers of public men of un-
doubted talents and virtue—and with many and
great resources, you behold your country sunk its
reputation, degraded in rank, and pursuing those
measures which will inevitably terminate in irreme-
diable destruction and misery. The public mind is
no longer ignorant of the cause. The canker-worm
of State, in piercing /our feelings with agony, has
at once roused ns from a general and unaccountable
indifference, and fortunately too, opened a passage
for the light. Darkness is now removed from the,
face of the deep. The rays which Shot through
the perforations of corruption have dissipated the
clouds tetat obscured it. We now discern the dan-
gers that surround us, and the misconclud that has
produced them. We feel the necessity of co:ictn-
trating- our energies, to repel the one, and protest
against the other. The love an.] reverence 'we bear
our country and its laws, dttnand; on this occa-
sion, a display of that unconnnerable perseverance
which an exalted sense of duty inspires and ani-
mates. My Fellow Townsmen, if you are sensible
of this duty.; you will attend the Meeting on the
Bth of April, and convert the Resolutions that will
be submitted to you into a constitutional call upon
the Government to concede to ,the general wish
and interests of the conetry, by tenouncing those
fatal principles that have been so pregnant with
calamity.
" 1 have confidence in your wisdom, honour, and
firmness, and trust that your (otutufi, calmly co-
operating with the it-generating-sense and spirit of
the people,:will restore this afflieted nation to j s na-
tural soundness and vigour.
