FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

LATEST ACCOUNTS FROM MANCHESTER, &c.

[Morning Post]

It gives us pleasure to find, by all the acconnts
which 'reached town 'yesterday from Manchester,
.'Macclesfield, Leeds, titc. that no freTh disturbance
of the public peace has occurred. The persons
taken up for rioting at Macclesfield, on Saturday,
were under examination at the Town Hall when
the post came away.

MANCHESTER MEETING.

After so many conflicting and contradictory
mis-statetnents of the proceedings at Manchester
on _londay, the 16th inst., it must be satistactoky
to peruse a plain and accurate account of what
actually took place :
The Magistrates had no intention to prevent
the Meeting, and had only adopted proper pre-
cautions to preserve, the pea Ce. The alteration
in their intentions was cau,ed by the information
of above fifty most respectable persona, who came
in and deposed on oath; as fast as depositions
could be taken down, to the several facts, that on
ail the roads from tbe‘ manufacturing townships

the people were coning in large bodies in military
array, and acting under the orders of appointed
lat'ers ; that persons of any respectabilny pass-
ing them were insulted, and taunts and threate
made we of ; that flags, with unequivocal in-
scriptions, were carried before them ; that the se-
veral bodies, as they arrived at the apiointed place,
formed by word of command, and took appointed
stations, while a select party from each formed a
strong 'cordon, and remained conspicuous with
their hats off, to be distinguished Irons the rest,
who had their bats on. So many thousands
thns coining in from various distances, it could
no longer be considered a Manchester Meeting ;
and no Magistrate, wi h any sense of duty, could
be justified in permitting such a one to proceed.
—Warrants were accordingly made out to appre-
hend those who were the principals in having di-
rected such proceedings. The Riot Act was read
by Mr. Trafford. Fur the constables' to obtain
,access to the hustings to carry the warrants into
effect, it was requisite for some military to pro-
ceed with them. The Manchester Yeomanry were
properly selected for this duty, and were proceed-
ing at a slow pace, when they were s topped- for
the Boroughreeve to come up to them. This halt
was observed and pot iced to the crowd ,by hunt,
who said, See, they are alrea.ly afraid-4e firm,
—give them three cheers;' which was done, and
afterwards bissings andhootings followed. This
naturally caused the Yeomen to quicken their
pace; when they came forward, they surrounded
the.hustings, and the warrants were carried into
effect by the Civil Power. The flags and colours
were seized upon by the Yeomen, who were sa-
luted with brick-bats; &c. at this moment,, a
e
small proportion oldie 15th Hussars-, and a•squa7
dron of the Cheshire 'Yeomen came up, and find-
ing the Manchester troops thus assaulted, were ne-
cessitated to clear the ground ; in doing this, the
pressure caused the full of many,. who ex-.
perieneed much injury, but very few .were hurt by
the soldiers, who, in, general, used only the flat
of the sword; not a shot was fired by the troops.
And that an assemblage of 30,000, persons should
be dispersed with so few receiving an injury, is
,the best proof that .the troops did not exceed
their duty, notwithstanding the stonei, &c. thrown
at them during the time, and the taunts and in-
sults used to them before ; in one instance, by
,Hunt himself, to the officers wbo were quietly
going through the street unaccompanied by any
.soldiers.

While the individuals are in custody, and may
be pnt upon their trial, it would not be correct to
pteiudge the intentions of the principals who con-
ducted the Meeting ; but no person who saw the
Meeting assemble, who heard what was said by
several individuals in the various bodies, which was
not noticed or disclaimed by those who, in other
respects, assumed a command over them, could hope
that the influence of a few could prevent the ex-
cesses evidently in the contemplation of the great
body. For weeks past, threats of such a nature had
been heard from them; their regular work had been
neglected, and the greatest unconcern shewn
whether their employers were pleased or not.
The various nightly .drillings, which they did not
even attempt should be concealed, are sufficient
indications of what was to be expected from a
hotly assembling together as they did. In the
hope that the Meeting would be convened in the
usual manner, no intention existed of preventing
it ; but when their proceedings were seen and de-
posed to on oath, the thanks of every hottest Mall
must he due to the Magistrates, who trianimons-
ly concurred in the resolution to stop the Meet-
ing in proceeding further, and in issuing a war-
rant to apprehend the principals in convening and
directing it.

" VIENNA, AUG. 11.—The banking-house of
liesmer, at Odessa and Trieste, has suspended its

payments.

" CARLSBAD, AUG. 10.—The arrival here of
the Prince de Metternich has been the signal
for that of a great number of diplomatic person-
ages from different States. If some politicians
are to be believed, the conferences which are to
take place here will only be a continuation of
those held at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, and
they will: not only embrace the affairs of Ger-
many, but also all that relates to public order and
tranquillity in all the States of Europe. But ac-
cording cording to the statements of well-informed per-
sons, the subjects treated of at Aix-la-Chapelle
are out of the question here ; the conferences will
be confidential respecting the affairs of Germany.
Couriers are frequently sent off."

LORD COCHRANE.
(From an American Paper of the 2414 July.)

We have had several blockading Decrees from
his Lordship since he has entered upon T e duties
of his office ; and, on the authority of letters, we
are told he has indulged himself in many intem-
perate remarks respecting our national vessels,
accompanied by insinuations that he would attack
them: However, we should not forget these Spa-
nish Emissaries are very active in spreading false
reports to injure the cause of the Patriots, and
produce a rurure between them and this Country.
Still the appointment of Lord COCHRANE as Admi-
ral of the Chili Fleet was an injudicious one. lie
is a proud domineering young man, very brave,
and very imprudent. The Officer which the
Patriots require, is a mild but firm man, active,
persevering, republican in his manners, and a good
sailor. This Country could have afforded many
such, who wonld have been more useful. His
Lordship and the new Government will not long
agree.

THE FUNDS.—Yesterday being a Holiday at
the Bank, none but private bargains were wade ;
considerable deal of business was transacted ;
ard as to-morrow will be Settling-day, a
nun.ber of accounts were made tip ; the con-
sequence was, that six Defaulters were de-
clared, one whose differences amounted to
29,700/ , the others were of a minor consi-
deration. It now turns out a bull account,
and Consols have fallen I& per cent, since the
opening price of yesterday. This mot-1)11,g
