Letters were received yesterday from. Manchester,
which communicate the unpleasant intelligehce, that
during the last few days several violent outrages had
been committed by the Luddites. Nofewer than three
persons had been shot in different parts of the coun-
try,- withogt any discovery' or even suspicion of
the mur&rers. Besides these atroei,ies, a gentle-
man, obnoxious to the hatred of the Luddites was
attaAed in a lane, in the middle'of the day, by se
veral men who were strangers to him; atter receiv.

ing a violent blow on the head with .a large stone,
he had the good fortune to escape by the swiftness
his horse. A working Man; who had been mis-
taken for another person that had given information
against the Luddites, was taken to a coall,it with
an intent of precipitating him to the bottOm, when
it was discovered that he was not the man whom
the ascailants were in quest of; and in consequence
he was sofferedlo depart, without snstaining any in-
jury. All possible means have been tried to induce
C‘e Luddites in prison to divulge the whole txtern,.
of their plan,,and to impeach their ringleadetii, taut
without effect. Some have been promised protec.
tion, and a competency tor life, but to no pnrpose.

TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE OF WALES,

REGENT' OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT

BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
The burrible, dutiful, anti Loyal Address of the
Lord Mayor, Aldet Men, and Commons of the
City of London, in Common Council assembled..
May it'elease Your Royal Etghneis, • •
We, the Lord' Mayor, Aldermen, and Com mows
of the City of London, in Common Council as-
sembled, most lit'unbly aperoach your Roial Ugli-
ness, for the purpose of expressing to your Royal
Highness our' deep concern, and: of dettfully ten-
dering to you our condolence on occasion of the se-
vere loss recently sustained by your Rot al [hei-
rless and the country in the death of the late Right
Honourable Spencer Perdeval.
We have been called, Sir, in common with the
rest of his Majesty's subjeas, to contemplate a dis-
pensation most awfully awakening in its nature,
most lamentable .in its consequences. We have
seen a Minister, to whose public conduct (whatever
differences may exist amongst us .or others of his
Majesty's subje&s, with lespe'4 to the policy of
measure; 'adopted by tile Governme'nt of which be
was a Member), ail must agree in asctioitr the.
prais'e clie to patriotism the Most ardent and disin-
terested, to integrity the. most o•flexible, to indus-
try the most perseveting, to manners .!he Most con-
ciliatory, and whose private.virtues were eatculTtcd"
to be the exampl:, as they touSt have bsTn the ad-
miration; of all who were • witnesses of his do-
mestic life, arrested in his career by the hand
of an assassin, at the doors of -that House, which
had so repeatedly been the sce' e .of eloquent
exertions as a Sen ttor of the Realm, and in an in-
stant your. Royal Highness deptived of a most faith-
ft.al servant, and the country of one of her brightest
ornaments. 'We do not attempt to give.utterance
to feelings which language, cannot express, but
which your Royal Highness, in feference to ces—
sations to• which, you must have yourself been sub-
jet% can be at no loss to form an adequate conexp-
fasts: The horror, the detestation, and the wig'
excited in our minds, by the commission and conse-
quences of la crime so atrocious, as that which has
been the occasion of our appearance before your
Royal Highness, are nut, we trust, inconsistent
with the submission with which it iS our. duty, and
we would hope our inclination to bow to this in-
scrutable dispensation. -,
Amidst the , poignancy of feeling consequent
upon this most distressing event, we beg leave' most
dutifully to represent to your Royal Highness the
consolation which we have derived; and the motives •
of thankfulness with which we have beets furnished,
from the reflection that a crime, of which, happily
but few instances are recorded in the annals of Of
history, was the as of a single individual, and that
its perpetration does not involve the charatler of 1110
nation.
Whilst we have felt it to be incumbent upon us
to lay before your Royal Highness this expressLO
of our condolence, we should consider that we-tow'
ill discharged our duty, either to your Royal High'
ness or ourselves, were we to omit assuring your
Rnyal Highness of the grateful sense we entertaio
of the promptitude with which your Royal filol-
- has been pleased to signify to Parliament your
wish to be enabled to make a suitable provision-
for the widow and numerous offspring of the
deceased Minister; and we beg most humbly to W.
press our firm conviction, that, in the mejstirt'l
which may be adopted to give efi-'ea to feelingt,' sa
worthy of your Royal Highness, as the Repre.,seow
tive of our venerable and most gracious Staereigof
and as the Heir Apparent to his Crown, the Lee."(
lsture will be seconded by the unanimous voice 0;
the riation over which your Royal Highness is calleo
to preside. .
