tveit after this is,iittre. It notices, also, that dif-
ferent associations, in different parts of the coun-
try, had a knowledge and expectation of the rio-
tous proceedings of that day. The Committee then
states, that these Insurrectionary designs bad ex-
tended; tomistiy,of the most populotis and manufac-
turing districts of Great Britain. As a pruot of the
ersocerforevets the most distant and widely separated
parts of the kingdoms it is stated that, conformably
to the resolution of the Spa-fields leaders to meet
*gain on the. lOtti Feb., situilar.Nleetiogs were fixed
fir. the very same day in various parts of the coun-
try. The remote societiestwalted for the example
of the Gondol; combination, and the most anxious
expretatiou was awakened as to the result of the
proci*dints, of the 2d of December. The 6rst
nest's of that day excited their spirits to a high,
degree, and their disappolutment was no less on
the news of the speedy suppressiou of the insur-
rection. It is supposed, that even partial success
in London amnia have led to a general rising
throughout the kingdom t. birt since that failure,
the amicontents talk of waiting till the country iaa

The Comfit-gee then particularizes some of the

taught, otsci.by which they are expected to be one

•• The Spencean Philanthropies are next alluded
to ; and. it is stated, that the Loudon conspira•
tors discussed and matured their plans in a.cinb
of this description. Tie principles of.t hese Spen-
t:fans are described as spreading rapidly among all
the other societies of all denominations. These
men stisclitim Parliameritary Reform as a worth-
less object,- and their handbill (so often quoted)
is produced as a proof that their object is a gene-
ral plunder, under the. name of a general division
of property. These societies are said to be so nu-
merous us not to be reducible under any one ge-
orral description. The Country Societies are chit Ity
in the neighbourhood of Leicester, Loughborough,

in fact, to be spreading to every village. Besides time

proceedings of these societies are all conducted by

emotounicm ions between the most distant
dubs are not trusted to paper, but are mode` ly
mottos of Deleg..tes and Missionaries, acting under

titles, owl subscriptions have been raised, which,
though trilling in detail* are important in tbeir
aggregate amount.

The Committee then enters into a view of the
ohjeot these.soeirties, and argues, Rattly front
their publications and partly front its own ptivate
a tutees of infnrination, that their purpose is to
destroy all Government, all social order, all mora-
lity, all religion.
,The landholder is represented
as a rapacious monster, and ,the runtlholder as a

sedition and infidelity, the tuinds of the Members
are tainted and inflamed 5 and in the opinion of the
Committee renderedfit fur any atrocity against in•
dividuals or the State.

The Report then; in the most pointed language,
calls the attention of the House to the cheap, 'atitl
sometimes gratuitous, circulation, tin oughout the
kingdom, of seditious, ittilammAtoy,
and blasphemous publications, which eut the
very foundations of all Society and Government.

The Committee considers the late attack upon
the Prince Regent as an additional melancholy
proof of the efficacy of the system before describ-
ed, to destroy all reverence for the constituted
authority, even in its most import am (min.

The Committee next describes .it to be a pact
of the system of the, leaders of 'these societies to
give ntierattee in all the great public meetings to
language oftbe Most Unparalleled violence; and
even to annonnce openly, that if their petitions
are not complied with, the Sovereign will have
forfeited ell claim in allegiance. The publication
