TO THE,
COTTON' MANUFACTURERS

OF MANCHESTER.

GENTLEMEN—The deplorable situation to which
the Weaving Classes in the Cotton Manufactur-
ing Districts are reduced, induces me to come
forward in their behalf, and to offer to your con-
sideration the following observations and remarks,
in hope that you will coincidb will me that some-
tbing'onght immediately to be done,: to put a
stop to the country manufacturers reducing weav-
ing below all possibility of existing by it, and
continuing to give less than most of the town's
manufacturers do, by 21 to 5 Per cent". on she
sale price of most goods at,present wanted. In
the absence of foreign demand (now our manu-
factory has arrived at so great a pitch) great sa-
crifices in various descriptions of goods are made.
A few leading London and country buyers, who
monthly, or oftener, visit this market, are so very
keenly sought after by necessitous wage-reducing
men, that an awful fall in goods is the natural
consequence. Larger quantities, and cheaper
lots, time after time, ate forced on them, and that
they may not be under-sold by their competitOrs,
let the goods go at a fair profit on the itvoice
price. The astonished draper, after
_purchasing
such goods, goes home, tickets his new-bought
stock 5 to 10 pbr cent. less than he has hereto-
fore sold similar goods for, and immediately under-
sells his neighbours, and depresses a considerable
part of the stock he had left on hand. And Who •
has caused this evil? The inconsiderate manufac-
turer, by the abominable system of reducing la-
bour when the slightest depression is felt in the
market. 1 was informed by a very extensive
buyer,' on Wednesday week, who resides, not a
hundred miles from Skinner-street, London, (very
much to his credit be it stated) that the very low
pt ice of goOds at the present moment was entire-
ly-owing to the manufacturers, and that if weav-
ing averaged one-third more, he and othgr.buyers
shOtdd :not purchase one piece,, less--.7-aod every
London and country buyer with whom I have
lately' conversed hale made similar decl-arations.
111 Foreig:neis in admit, ,that -foil' and
over-stocked markets :here. cause glntit.cd anf! -ttit
mat kets abroad ; and that when their !makers 'are
overstocked, no merchants hEve.more difficulty in
•effecting sales'at saving prices, especially when a
fr.'s' bales of goods, bought by indirifinals more
fortunate, than their neighbours, in meeting,Aith
:a sacrificing manufaetnrer, makest. acerr -iti)Pear-
ance.—Their stock on hand fairly' bought is ne-
glected, or considered dear. That evil instead

of gond,—embarrassment instead o(l4r—is the
natural consequence of diminish.ing the price
weaving. These' regular foreign stockAddleis
come fresh into the market with altih'eSe'c-irCirtn--
stances full in view, .ainl are consequently &ter-
mined \to have goods cheaper Oho. before--Land
who can blame them for their firm I esolve 1—
Wlirshould a man who gives reliet pinchasing
extensive quantities, and supporting 3- steady
prudent trade, be ,superceded by a trifliog buyer'?
The man (of hieing Means and mean purchases
under such cirenniAancei, becomes a common in-
jury, and be, rind the oppressing manufacturer
should be alike treated ; via. put under proper
restraint by Wholesinn regulations of the price
of weaving ! We produce goods at extreme IoW
prices, entitelytei:the advantage of the home and
.foreign consuwers, while a population of one
million employed and utile' wise interested in the
cotton•manufactory, have not the means of be-
cOnoing consumers to half' the extent they would,
if a price belOW Which weaving should not be re-
duced was fixed. The following statement will
show, in addition to_the foregning:obseevations;
the necessity of some regulation; 1810, 1814,
1816, and the preient year, have 'given four strik-
ing proofs of the over-trading manufacturing in-
terests ! ! Look at the re-action of our too much
extended commerce, and the facilities of our mer-
chants, SpinnerS, and manufacturers. In 1809;
the import into great Britain of cotton, amount-
ed to 440,380 hales, and in ISIS, 665 .300 hales;
increase 224,920 bales. When we spun 3,500
to 5 000 bales weekl, these periods came only
every five to seveti years ; but no swine!' do we
spin 6,000 1 o 7,000; and now near 8,000, bales per
week, but we have four of the most awfully ruinous
pthods in nine years, that our ledgers or me-
mories can furnish ! and every additional draw-
back of this kind sinks the value of weaving lower
than before ; and I am persuaded, that if we go
on to spin 9 or 10,000 bales weekly,' unless the
export •trade for twist doubles or trebles (which
would be injurious to the manufacturing int crest,)
and that if an increasing quantity of goods in pro-
portion to the increase of spinning wire produced,.
and the vavers wrought them for nothing, the
manufacturers would be no better off than they are
at present inasmuch as we have full proof that
the foreign Markets CBllllOl take beyond a certain,
quantity, let the price be what it maw.
It may be fairly presumed, than not more than'
nine-tenths of the goods exported in the last ten
years have been, or ever will be, paid for ! in-
deed some men of extensive, information have sup-
posed more than one-fifth or one-sixth 'remains
unpaid at the present moment !! !
That these evils are attributable to the British
Government I cannot admit. It is the spitir of
over-trading which has growl-, upon uS; and
calls loudly for leformatiOn But as long as the
supine indifference of the middle orders of society
exist, and the easy over-looking capitalists turn
deaf ear to their best interests, and the good of a
well-disposed peasantry, no better state of things
can/ be hoped for' in the manufacturing dis-
tricts. • '

Deacon PATERSON said that the gentleman
meant to propose was a more suitable person to
represent this city in Tarliameol, than Mr. Dun-
das, being intimately connected with the citizens
of Edinborgb, He then proposed, that James_
Manifiefd; 14:sq. of Midn6r, who bad formerly

moreover, opposed the wishes of the citizens of

had not the smallest doubt but. that Right Hon.
Gentleman would be returned, yet he could not
conscientiously give him his support.

in asserting that Mr. Dundas would be elected,

FOR THE SUN.

TO JOHN BULL, ESQ.

I.E'll'Ell. 11.

.HONEST JOHN—You and I have already exa-
mined some of the legislative pretensions and po,
lip ical axioms of self-elected Reformers, and found
them to be little better than whipt syllabub or
puff Crust, when compared with the solid roast
beef of the British Constitution.

Let ns now investigate a few more of those sage
them its, which are brought forward to fill your
tread %with crude notions, and your hands with the
drigger of the assassin, or the torch of the incen-
diary, whilst you, in the simplicity of your heart,
are persuaded that they will fill your belly with
soli'! pudding.

As to the sweeping resolutions of the Vernale
Reformers in the North, who declare themselves

iletermintd to rouse all the energies of the men
folk, I have but little to say. Ladies' resolutions
t.re often subject to change ; and, perhaps, upon
the whole, JOHNNY, you have little hope of quiet
in that quarter, uutil, like Friend OwEN's pau-
pers, they are quieted by being placed in' paral-
ielograms : one of these resolutions, however,
nmu►t not be passed unnoticed. Those Belles,
Dames, or Beldames, resolve that every County
ought to send Members to Pk:filament, in propor-
tion to its population ; the natural consequence
of which would be, that the County of Middle-
sex would send more than ONE-SBVENTH of the
whole Representation ! ! !

Such a consequence.is too absurd fur the pro-
position to require refutation—but not so some of
the resolutions moved and carried at the Smith-
field Meeting, of whith, I believe, JOHNNY, you
know no more now than you did when you held

up your band for them. NOw, JOkINNY, in these
resolutions, you are told, that " every
,man in a
free state is entitled to a vote in the enactment of
the Laws ;"—that "no free men ought to be
taxed without a previous admission to this uni-
versal right ;"—and that the " right is to be ex-
ercised in the choice of representatives chosen by

the majority."
But who will form this majority ? Why, those
who -individually will be taxed in the ;smallest
sums ; so that the man who pays hundreds of
pounds must be out-voted by those who pay not
as many shillings as he pays hundreds.
Is that fair, JOHNNY, even upon principles of
natural right? Will yott think so as you get up in
the world I fancy not, JOHNNY !
Again, if every man has a right to vote, be
has a right that his vote should be efficient, cither
wise his right is nothing. But if the man you
vote for, JOHNNY, is not returned, you are no
better off than if you hail no vote at all, with
this sole difference, that tie mass of poverty
would then have the political power which now
belongs to the mass of property ; and you would
have nothing for it but another Smithfield Meet-
ing of the " non-represented Citizens," if such
things should be permitted its a state of Universal
Freedom

But you are told that you are ruined by TAX A..
TlON—when you know, JOHNNY, that, except in
one or t«o trifling instances, you can only be
taxed in proportion to your expenditure ; and if
you are prudent, and keep your expenditure with-
in your income, it can never hurt you. For remeni-
Ler, my honest Friend, that the taxes are all ex-
pcorled, and of course produce circulation, and
that circulation always raises your income in pro-

pot tion to increased taxation.
When your taxes were higher, JOHNNY, during
the war, and your expenditure was nearly double
that of to-day, then all your children were em-
ployed, and able to live' comfortably ; but cessa-
tion of War Expenditure, and the economy of a
Peace Establishmant, have thrown half your
children out of employ, and a partial,' though, I
trust, a temporary, distress is the consequence.
One word more as to a CHEAP GOVERNMENT,
of which we have lately heard so much. Now,
you ought to know, my honest Friend, that of
the Civil List, which is said to be taken out of
the pockets of the Poor, there is but a propor-
tion, and by no means'a large one, that goes to
the support of the CROWN and ROYAL FAMILY, the
far greater proportion being expended upon
Judges, Ambassadors, and numerous other public
servants, who must be paid somehow, if we are
to hare any Government at all.,
But Johnny, I have even a more important
truth for you, which is, that the sum total of the
Civil List, thong!' voted by Parliament, does not
cost the Nation a sixpence ! You stare, my honest
friend ; but the fact is so. The Crown, that in-
tegial part of the Midst) Constitution, has from
time immemorial possessed Lands, which were as
Inuth the individual property of tke CHowN, as
your little freehold is your own ; a property which
ndtherLords, Commons, nor the Nation could
touch, without the couunt of the wearer of that

Ctown. nut that Crown pfoperl:4, with
trifling exceptions, has been given up by our
venerable Monarch to the Nation in lieu of the
Parliamentary Civil List ; and so profitable has
the bargain been to the Nation, that a yearly profit
is actually derived from it I.
Hence, JOHNNY, you will know bow to appre-
ciate the clamours of those whose object- is to
dazzle, that they may plunder with impunity;
and who, like their brother Reformers at West
End Fair, kick up a row that they may cut your
skirts off.

I will add but one word more, JOHNNY You
are told to look at the United States for a cheap
Government. It is true that their Federal Go-
vernment is got up at half price at Washington ;
but if you take into account the Governments of
every separate State, the salaries of Senators and
Representatives, with several others, you will
find that the boasted American Government
actually costs the Nation a sum nearly equal to
that which in Britain is repaid to the fullest extent
by the profits of the Crown Lands.
With this fact for your eomfort,' I leave you;
Jon NNY, to your quiet reflections ; but you: shall
hear again from your Friend,
. IGNOTUS.

P. S. One word at parting, JOHNNY, as to that
new species of Freedom by birth-right claimed by
our iiodern Reformers.
It must not be forgotten, ray honest Friend,
that we are in a state of society, and that the
Constitution, in letter and in usage, is our social
compact. Now, every man is just born to as
much freedom as that Constitution guaranteeS to
.him, and no more ; for if a man claims more, he
then sets up a state of nature against a state of
society; he annuls the social compact, as far as
regards himself, by denying its paramount autho-
rity ; but when obedience is denied protection
ceases, and he becomes a self-declared Outlaw,
just as much as the man• who denies the laws of
property. in society becomes a candidate for the
gallows !

- .
This may sound harsh, JOHNNY'; but it is sound
law ; aye, Crowner's quest law," and no-
thing saves the offender but the humanity of our
social practice, and of that constitution which he
vilifies ! • ,

I have ascertained, since I wrote you on the
10th, some carious facts about the Cadiz explo-
sion. O'Donnel has acted a conning, and many
think a dishonourable, game in this affair. He
knew Ilia( disaffection existed very generally
among his officers as well as soldiers,
,not merely
against the expeditio❑ to South America, but
against the Government of Ferdinand.—O'Don-
nel appeared to favour the views of the disaffected,
and entered into their views with warmth. On
the day he called a general review, the disaffected
officers believed that it was for the purpose of
openly manifesting his sentiments in favour of a
Constitution. He formed the army into a square,
called all the officers into the centre; he inform-
ed them that, with the exception of a very few,
whom he named, all the rest were his prisoners..
He then turned round to the troops, and said,
" All who do not wish to go to South America,
lay down your arms." At this moment the troops
discovered that the cartridges they had received •
that nn.rning were ail blank, except to one regi-
ment and a battalion, to whom O'Donnel bad
issued hail. The whole of the troops, with the
exception of those who had ball cartridges, threw
down their arms with indignation, crying out,
" We are betrayed."
They immediately began to scamper in all di-
rections. O'Donnel, either from fear, or front
some motive not yet explained, permitted them
to disperse without making the least effort to stop
them. All the country round Cadiz is full of
them. Their expressions against O'Donnel and
Ferdinand are bitter and loud. Among the Offi-
cers arrested arc 18 very distinguished individuals,
whom the soldiers are said to be much attached
to. Several Officers have arrived here, flout
Whom I shall get "some correct information on the
subject, and will by next mail transmit you fur-
ther particulars.
A pretty scene of confusion reigns at Cadiz.—
O'Donnel appears to have some new grounds of
dread from the portion even of the troops who
have been so very loyal, as all of them openly de-
clare they will never embark. The sailors are
likewise in a great ferment, anti swear they will
not go. The owners of vessels, agents, and Go-
vernment creditors, are all running about Cadiz
like maniacs.

No Florida Treaty news yet, but we shall soon
hear something important 011 that subject.
You may expect to hear of political explosions
in many parts of Spain, and indeed reports reached
here last night front Valencia of a set ious nature.
