THANKS TO THE 'MILITARY FOR TEIF,III HUMANE

AND FORBEARING CONDUCT ON MONDAY LAST.

In the course of our ihity we have fit it neces-
sary to obtain every species of information on this
momenton3 subject, documentary or oral, that
could tend to the use and advantage of the public.
The officer who had the command of the troops,
and whose range of service here has been wide,
intricate, and arduous, has executed the whole of
his functions in a way that secures to him the ap-
probation of all the judicious" and thinking part
of the inhabitants. We mean, of course, Lieut.-
Colonel L'Estrange. For the expression of all
that can sativy an honourable nihnl, we refer to
the following LifiJal letter :

The, !banks of the same numerous and highly
respectable Meeting of the inhabitants of Man-
chester and Salford,' and their neighbourhood, are
also conveyed to the Magistrates, to the Borough-
regvcs, and Constables of both towns, and to the
whole body of Special Constables, whose services
were, perhaps, on no former occasion ever so (-obi-
newly fistful as at the present cri,is. The whole
oar civil est ahlishment has been most anxiously
and unceasingly employed by night and by day
through the whole of this harassing ever!; ;
sidei the labour entailed upon them in preparing
for it audits probable consequences.
To the Right Hon. the Earl of '1)11)y, as Lord
LTentenant of the County, great duties. have de-
volved ; and his Lordship has evinced an alacri'y
and fecling on the occasion which will- not soon
be forgotten. The same tneeling of the inhabit-
ants has been sensible of, and has acknowledged,
its Obligations to his Lordship, in a suitable
manner.

Probably the next point to which the public
gill lend its attention is the opinion of his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent and of the Govern-
ment of the country, upon the momentous tran-
sactions of Monday last. We have.the pleasure
to be able to give some information relative to
this. A:statement of a;I the proceedings has been
laid before these high ordeals and the Pt ince
Regent, with the Government, gives his most
trn-
goalitieil approhation•to alt the measures adopted
and executed by the nagistr,ites, the civil officer,
and the military ; :and both the Governmeut.tuid
the Prince Regent have expressed the sense they
feel of tl►e moderation of the troops, and the great
humanity with which, tinder the circumstances,
they, have conductet4 themselves..
