nl d
my attention,—having, as well as many of
Y friends, been lately defrauded of property to
a "usidetable amount, by Foreigners who have
°lade their es
it cape from their own country. But
appears that this evil is daily carried on to an
extent by the very outcasts of different
-tales who intrude among us under various
false pretences, and with assumed titles, when in
.fact their real views are that of gaining a know-
af the machinery of some of our principal
manufactories, for which they expect to receive
treat rewards by all the Continental Powers, espe-
eiallY France and Russia. Others, are secret agents
or sPles, to discover the state of the country, and
es.tialate the chance there may be of discord and
or, in short, to make known to their Go-
erflmentt whatever may prove destructive to our
rt°sP"itY, attempting to mislead the minds of
vine
of our Members of Parliament, recommend-
ing
such measures as, were they adopted, would
IrealY assist our enemies in the plots and de.
'inns which they might form against the power

Leeds Independent Newspaper Office, April V., 1819.

MR. EDITOR—The Mercantile and Manufac-
turing Interests have been much alarmed at what
they conceive to be the rlinons consequences
which would result from the alteration in the ►aw
of Settlement of Paupers, contemplated by and
propostd in the bill of Mr. STURGRS BOURNS.
The Committee at the Leeds Workhouse yes-
terday transmitted, by an unanimous Resolution,
a Petition to Mr. WORTLEY, for presentation to
the House of Commons, against the projected
measure.

I apprize you of this circumstance, from a con-
viction that the Bill is fraught with most ruinous
consequences to the inhabitants of all large towns,
and that no time should be lost in watching and
opposing its Progress. I atm, Sir,
Your most obedient Servsnt,
GEO. MUDIE, Ed. Leeds Independent.
