The EDITOR of THE SUN is informed, in an-
swer to FLINT'S Query, in-Tule SUN of to night,
that several years ago, Sir FRANCIS KINLOCH of
Gilmerton, in. 'East Lothian, was unfortunately
shot by his brother, who was acquitted, it being
clearly proved that he was insane. There was
no dispute about property; this unfortunate per-
son was allowed to go. at large, instead of being
confined by the mistaken humanity of his brother.
He succeeded to the Title and Estate, :and at his
death, eight or ten years ago, by a younger
brother since dead. The present Baronet is a
minor. The Radical Mr. KINLOC4 appears to be
a Gentleman of property in Forlarshire, and
totally unconnected with the respectable family
alluded' to.

Presented yestcrdatt to loth Houses of Przrliamcnt, Lrt Com-
mand of his Ruyal Ilighness the PRI NCI.: REGENT.

Kiows:ey, August 15, 1819.

MY LORD—I conceive i to be my dirty to in-
form your Lotdship, that/kir) consequence of a re-
presentation made to me by the Select Committee
Of Magistrates
,assembled at Manchester, (and
perfectly agreeing with them in the expediency
of the measure,) 1 issued a precept for a Spcciet
Meeting of Magistrates, to consider of the pro-
priety Of a general or partial execution of the
Watch and Ward Act, and I have now the ho-
nour to iticlose to your Lordship a letter from the
Clerk of the Peace, by which you will perceive
how tar the same has been carried into execut ion.
I trust this and the other m::; sores adopted by
the Magistracy, will pot a stop to the danger try
be apprehended from the evil designs o such as
wish to distmb the peace of the -country ; but E
am sorry to add, there is still too much cause tp
be here, that in some parts of this county, there
are assemblies of tn,:n, who meet in considerable
numbers, with the object of training end exer-
cising themselves for illegal and sedi ions pur-
poses. Or all this, however, your Lordship t 5
am sure already informed with more accura.ey,
and in greater detail, than I am abie to give vou.
It is vvi:h great regret that I obliged to add,
that the raising the armed 'association (notwith-
strtordit:g the zealous endeavours of the Borough-
reeve and Committee at Manchester, wit() made
the off.!tt to Goeeriment) proceeds so slow, that
I have not yet been able to obtain a list of Gen-'
tlemen to be submitted to the Pllnce argent as
Officers for the same. I am, however, iuturined
by the BorfroglireeVe, that the list of Fold Of-
fitters and Captains for one battalion hiss beers
completed, but Ihry consider it piernatore to spid
it to me, as the number of tun already enrolled-is
far below the itil'Oher which Should CooNlitute 0/le
battalion. I think it tight to apprise your Loid-
ship of this ciicuinstittice, but without` the most
distant idea of irOpiring blame, or waot of zeal,
to any person concerned in the transaction. '1 he -
arms, &c. for nearly the whole corps have beets
forwarded to my order from Chester Castle some
time since, a.nd, with the cOncrirrenre of NI tr:
General Bye g, I have directed them to be lodged
at the Cavalty -Barracks, under the military cos.
toffy of the Officer coinatanding there, the
corps becomes sufficiently effective to have theta
trensftrred ti their hands. '

I hrkve the honour to be; my Lord,
our Lhrdship'i obedient h tile Servant,
The Viscohtif Sidmouth, &e. &c. &e. • DERBY.

Manchester, Aug. 15, 11 o'clock, p. m.

MY LORD—The Magistrates„the Military, ancl
Civil Authorities of Manchester, have been occu-
pied-nearly-the whole of this day in coucetting
the necessary arrangements for the preservation
of the peace to-morrow, and for the safety of
the town in case a. riot ahould ensue. We
have been much occupied in taking depositions
from vations parts of the country ; and although
the Magistrates, as at present. advised,, do:not
think of preventing the rn,cting, yet all the
accounts tend to show that the worst possible
spirit pervades the country .; and that considerable
numbers have been drilling to-day at distances of
four, six, and ten miles from Manchesier ; and that
considerable numbers are expected to attend the .
Meeting. I hope. the peace may be preserved,
but under all circumstances it is scarcely possible
to expect it ; and, in short, in this respect we are
in a stare of rrAnful uncertainty. 1 have the
honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's faithful -
awi hnn:ltle Servant,
To Lord Viscount Sidmouth, &c. J. NORMS.

N7llcitester, 1616_ Aug. iBl9.7Quarter past Nine.

i%v L:H10---.21ki. NORKIS being very much fa-
titied by the harassing duty of this day, it becomes
Wipe now to inform your Lordship of Ore pro-
ceedings which have been had in cousequeoce of
the proposal put forward for a meet tug. The Slyer
cial Committee have been in constant attendance
for the last three days, and contented themselves
till they saw what the complexion of the meetiog
might be, or what circumstances might arise,
with coining to this deiermioation only, which
they adopted in concurrence with
.some of the
most intelligent Gentlemen of the town, not to:.
stop the numerous columns which were from va-
rious roads expected to pour in, but to allow them
to reach the place of their destination.
The assistance of the military was of course re-
quired, and arrangements in consequence made
with them, of such description as might be ap-
plicable to various circumstances.
Abdut eleven o'clock the Magistrates,
,who
were very 11(1111C10115, repaired, to a house, whence
they-might see the whole of the proceedings of
the meeting. A hotly of special constables. took
their ground, about 200 in number, close to the
hustings; from them there was a line of comtnu-
nication to the house where we were. Air. ';af-
ford Trafford was so good as to take the situation
of attending Colonel L'Estrange, the command-
ing officer.
Frnm eleven till one o'clock;the various columns
arrived, attended by flags, each by two or three
flags ; and there were four, if not more, caps of
liberty. The ensigns were of the same descrip-
tiOn as th6se displayed on similar occasions,
eith this addition-, that one had. a bloody pike
represented on it ; another, " Equal repre-
sentation or death."! There] was no appear-
ance of arms or pikes, but great plenty of sticks
anti staves, and every column marched in regular
file's of three or four deep, attended..wich con-
ductors, mosic,'Stc.. The most powerful acces-
sion was in the las' instance, when Bunt and his
party came in. But, long-before this, the ,Ma•
gistrates had felt a decided conviction that- the
whole bore the appearance of" insurrection ; that
the array was such as to terrify all the King's.sub-
jects, and Was such as'no legitimate purpose could.
justify. In addition to their own sense of the
Meeting, they had very numerous depositions
from the inhabitants, as to their fears for
the public safety ; and at• length a man de.
posed as to the parties who were approach-
in.. ", attended by the heaviest column. On
a barouche-box leas a woman in white, who
I believe. was aAlrs, Gant front Stockport, and

v.'l;o, it iS I;tltC'Vf r!, 4.4 d A cav of l;betty. In the
ha:nu:te sane How, JAnston-, Knight, and
house of Sii+Apnit ; as soon as the,e..four
part:es were aseeTtsrin-al, a warrant issued to
eporthend them. The troops were mastered, and
Nadin, preceding the Manchester Yeomanry Ca-
'fairy, executed it. While the Cavalry was tot m-
hie, a most walked defiance of them was acted by
the reforming part of the mob ; however, they so
far executed their purpose, as to apprehend Haw
and Johnston on the hustings: Knight and Moot-
house in the tuntmlit escaped. They also tuck
oil the bustina‘, Saxton. Had Sykes, whet is the
avti,er to The, Manchester abseurer, and which
Saxton had before been addrescing the mob. The
parries thus apprehended were brought to the
!mese where the Magistrates were. Meantime the
Riot Act was read, end the mob was completely
dispersed, hut not without very serious and la•
turntable effects. Hunt, &C. were brush hr down
to the New Bailey ; two Magistrates anti myself,
having promised them pro.retioo, preceded them ;
we tvere attended constables and some
eavalty. The parties were lodged in the New
Bailey ; and siuce that time have bent added
to them Kiel; ht' and Moorhonse. Ott intinity
it appeared that many had suffered trout va-
rious instances ; one of the Manchester Yen-
man y, Mr. 11,dine, was, after the pa: ties
%sere taken,• struck by a brick-hat;- he lost his
power over his horse, and is sur.pnsed to have
ft at:lured his skull by a fall from his horse. I an;
aft aid that he is since dead ; if not, t bete are !In
of his recovery A special constable 01 the
name of Ashworth has been kiled—cause un-
known ; and four women appear to have lost
their lives by. being pressed by the. crowd ;
these, I believe, are the fatal effects of the
Meeting. A variety of instances of sabre
wounds vectored, but I hope none mot (al ;
several pistols %r are fired by the mob, but as to
their effect, save in one instance depnsed to br-
Int e Colonel Fletcher, we have ?to account. We
cannot but deeply regret all the serious effects at-
tendant on this transaction ; but we have the sa-
tisfaction of witeessieg the very grateful and cheer-
lug countenances of thc• whole toss n ; in fact,
they consider themselves as saved by our exer-
liens. All the shop; were shut, and, for the
most part, emit bitted so all the evening. The
capture of Hen: took place before two o'clock,
and I forgot to mention that all their colonrs,
drums, &c. were taken or destroyed. Since that
I have been to the Infirmary, and found my-
self justified in snaking the report I have ; but
Mr. Norris now tells me, that one or two more
than I have mentiooed may have lost their lives.
The parties apprehended will have their cases pro-
ceeded on to-nsonow ; but it appears that there
may arise difficulties as to the nature of some of
the it crimes, on which its may be necessary to
consult Government. 'I he whole Committee of
Magistrates will assemble to-morrow as usual.
Doting the afternoon and part of the evening,
parts of the town have been in a very disturbed
state, and numerous applications made for mili-
tary. These have been supplied, but in some cases
'have, in the Irish part of the town, been obliged
so fire. I trust without any but effect as to life,
in any instance. At present every thing seems
quiet ; the reports agree with that, and I hope
that we shall have a quiet night. I have omitted
to mention that the active part of the meeting
may be said to have come in wholly from the
enantry ; and that it did not consist of less
titan twenty thousand men, &c. The .flag on
which was " Equal representation or death,"
was a black one ; and in addition, on the
same side, bad " No Boroughmongering—unite,
and be flee :;" at the bottom, " Saddleworth,
Lees, and Morley Union ;" on the reverse, " No
Corn Laws, Taxation without representation is
unjust and tyrannical." On the Middleton flag
seas, " Let us die like men, and not be sold like
slaves ;" reverse, " Liberty is the birth right of
man."

I close my letter at a quarter before eleven:
every thing ren►ains quiet. Many of the troops
have returned to the barracks, with the consent of
the Magistrates. I have to apologize to your
Lotdship for the haste in which this is written,
ht:t I trust that the haste will naturally be ac-
counted for.

I i►ave the honour to be, my Lord, wish sincere
respect, your Lordship's faithful and obedient
humble set vant,

Manchester, Aug. IC, 1819, Eight o'clock, P.M.

SlN—The Alagistrates assembled here in conse-
gence of the disturbed stare of this district, di-
Trcted me to have the troops in readiness to assist
the ciyikpower in case of necessity, 'at the time
of th meeting proposed for this day. _

In concurrence with their wishes, end after
consultittion with them, the military were pre-
pared and arrangements made, such as then seem-
ed calculated to meet any Occasion in which the
nid of the troops miLzht be required to assist the
civil power. The Magistrates were in attendance
mar St. Peter's Church, and Mr. Trafford, a Jus-
tice of the Peace for the counties of Chester and
Lancaster, was appointed to remain with the ca-
valry. Early in the afternoon, the civil power
finding it necessary that the troops should act in
aid of them, it was deemed expedient that the
cavalry should advance ; and a warrant was exe-
ctited, preceded by the civil authority, under
which two persons, limit and Johnston, named
therein, were at rested, as were also two other
persons, named Saxton and Sykes, who were
active, as I am told, on the hustings. This
service was performed with the assistance of the

cavalry.
The infantry was• in readiness, but I determin-
ed not to bring- them in contact with the people,
unless compelled to do so by urgent necessity ;
not-a shot the' eforc has been fired by any of the
military, though :eyeld have been fired by the
populace against the troops. I have, however,
great regret in stating that some of the unfortu.
nate people who attended this meeting, have suf-
fered from sabre wounds, and many from the
pressure of the crowd. One of the Manches-
ter Yeomanry, if not dead, lies without hope
of recovery ; it is understood be was struck
with a stone. One of the Special Constables
has been killed. The Manchester Yeomanry

That on Sunday last, the 15th instant, he was
at ;;'bite Moss near Middleton, about five o►iles
trona Manchester, between three and four o'clock
in the morning, and saw there assembled between
13 and 1500 men ; the greatest number of whom
:vete honied in Iwo bodies, in the form of solid
squates; the remainder were in small patties of
between 21) and 30 each ; there were about 30
sorb parties, each tinder the direction of a person
acting as a•tirill serjeaut, and were going through
military movements; that Examivani went amongst
them, and inrn►ediately one of the drill sergeants
asked him to fall it►, Ile said, lie thought Le
should soon, or gave some such suswer tf!en

sons, who were drilling, cried out '' Spies."—
This Examinant, and Shawcross, and
Thomas Rymer, and his son (all of whim had
accompanied this Examinant from Manclies-
tcr),. continued to retire ; the body of men
then cried out, " mill them," " murder them."
Near one hundred men then pursued the Exami-
nant and his companions; they overtook them
near a lane end, at the edge of the Moss, and
began to pelt them with clods of eartl►—they at
last came up to the Examinant and his compa-
nions, and beat them very severely—Examinant
begged they would not murder hint ; but the
general c►y was, " Damn him, kill him—mur-
der him."—Examinant said, " you treat me very
differently to what nations treat each other's pri-
soners when they are at war. Suppose that lam
an enemy, you ought to treat me as a prisoner.''
—They said, " How will you treat us, if you take
us prisoners when we come to Manchester
Examinant knew at the time that a Meeting was
anpointed for the next ,day (Monday) at Man-
chester.

The men kept beating Examinant all the time ;
at IJst, they debated among themselees whether
they would kill Examinant or forgive him, and
they determined to forgive him, provided he would
go down upon his knees and beg pardon to them,
and swear never to be a King's man again, Gr to
mention the name of a king. Exttatinant complied,
to save his life, they standing over him with sticks,
as he apprehended, to murder him, provided he
had objected. They afterwards 'went away. Ex-
aminant was not previously acquainted with any
of the persons assembled that he saw, but is cer-
tain that he should !;now again two of those who

Examinant, as above, he was confined to his bed
for three days.

The Documents are concluded by the following
Letter from Major-General Sir JOHN BYNG

Pontefract, Nov. 18, 1819.

MY LORD—I have the honour to report to your.,
Lordship the result of such information as I have
received! in the several journies I have made since
I kit town, and from creditable authority in other
places.
It appears certain that simultaneous Meetings
ltad been agreed upon to assemble on the first
of this month, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne,, at
Carlisle, at Leeds, Halifax, Hiiddetsfield, and
Barnsly, in the West Riding of Yorkshire ;
at Manchester, Bolton, Wigan, Blackburne
and Burnley in Lancashire'; at Newcastle-under-
Lyme, at Nottingham, at Leicester, and at
Covent, y. I have heard other places named, but
not from such authority that I can name them in
this report; nor do I mention the Meetings in
London, in Scotland, and in places not in the
counties composing the district in which I hold
the military command.
As Met tings had very lately been held in almost
all the above named towns, those agreed upon for
the Ist instant must lave had some particular
object in view.
Although a schism among the leaders has pre-
rented these meetings, yet in Lancashire and
sonic iew towns where disaffection has long
prevailed, no difference appears, and the loon-
berg of discontented remain undiminished, but
in places where it is of less mature existence, a
most desirable check, from various causes, has
been effected; but it would be fatal to its an-
nihilation in them, if there was yet any relaxation
of our attention, and of means, to suppress it en-
tirely : a similar false security at times within the
last three years, has brought disaffection to its
present height in Lancashire, the vigilance of the
Civil Authorities in it having ceased upon every
short period of quiet. •
A plan has been adopted to circulate more ge-
nerally seditious and blasphemous tracts,, which
is to send gratis such publications weekly,
directed to the servants in large families,
which I think Worthy of mention, not merely to
show how indefatigable the authors and leaders
of sedition are, in effecting their porpose, but
that it maybe thought expedient to pat the heads
of families upon their guard.
Six different attempts have come to to know-
ledge to seduce' the soldiers, but without the least
effect ; some of them are under legal investiga-
tion.

have only futther to add, that whatever dis-
union ma,. prevail among the leaders of sedi!ion
and radical refoinl, they still unite in the endea•
your (though I hope with less success,) to excite
irritation and discontent among their followers,
and to intimidate the loyal and well affected.
With a firm belief in the accuracy of the fore-
going statement, 1 consider it my duty to make

report. 3 have the honour to be, with te-
spcct, your Lottiship's very obedient humble
Servant,

JOHN BYNG, Major-General.

Neyts, OCT. 20.—The whole of the Kingdom
of New Gnenada is now in possession of the In-
dependents. On the 11th of last month a gene-
ral Insurrection of the Creoles took 'place at
Santa Fe, the Capital ; ail the .Spaniards were
murdered, the Governor,• and a few Officers of
Government, excepted, who were obliged to fly
in such haste as to leave every thing behind
them, both public and ptivate property. The
Inquisition and the Priests are all exterminated.
BotAvAa, with 1500 men, .reached the City seven
days after ; he found a treasure of 2 million of
dollars, besides all the magazines and other public
property, and has since recruited his Army to 6000
men. I have this information from a quarter the
most respectable.

A Letter from St. Croix, of the 28th ult., after
noticing the effects of the gale at mat place, and
St . Thomas's, observes, the accounts from► Tortola
and St. John'i, are still more distressing ; not
40 houses retn,lin standing in the two Wands,
and many valuable )ices are lost. The Governor
of the former, together with his family., are among
the number. The accounts from the Windward
Islands are equally distressing.

We have again to announce the non-arrival of
Paris Papers ; t..vo'clays' Journals are due.
