CUTING THR AUTHORS AND PERPETRATORS OF

THE MANCIIEKTER oUTRA6,

" GEttrilAstu.te—lt is now upwards of four,
months aince you commenced your patriotic tb-
scriptions, in order to enable those who suffered
unconstitutional imp, i,onmeut and military exe-
cotion on the 16th of August last, at Manchester,
to bring the vitilatnis of the laws to justice ; but
those who have assumed the controul over your
liberal -subscriptions . have, in, no one instance,
succeeded in carrying your laudable intentions
into effect. Tie Magistrates, the Yeomanry, and
their abettors, have all triumphantly escaped that
exposure and consequent punishment which
,voild have inevitably been their fate, if the
funds which- rot have so liberally c out tihnted had
been property applied,- instead of which they have
been. lavished 'iron those who have been employ-
ed for the worst of purposes, not only to mar,
but destroy all hope of doing common justice to
the ►yell-groom►d,tt xpectatinns of an insulted and
grossly injured public. •
" The gist rates and Yeomanry have not
only received the thanks of the Prince Regent
and the Ministers, but they have received the
sanction of both Hooses 01 Parliament (who have
refused even an inquiry), and the protection of
the Courts of Law ; and the public havellow no
other chance of having a lair investigation of the
transaction, but through the means of evidence,
to he adduced upon the defence of myself and the
injured persons who were first committed upon a
charge of loigh treason, but, who are now to be
tried for a ' conspiracy to overturn the Govero-
ment by force and threats.' It is in vain to look
back, unless it be to contemplate (lie errors com-
mitted, in order to avoid them in future. I know
it will be said by those who have assumed the title
of the Metropoli.att Committees, that a large
sum of upwards of 10001. has been distiihnted
amongst those suffelets•who.were bt wised, maimed, •
anti sabred, by the military on the 16th of August ;
but even this amiable work of charity hay been
polluted by the festering band of faction, and per-
verted front its proper course by the mos-1.0.611d
intrigues to promote Election patronage and
bribery. In order to effuct this all. powerful ob-
ject with those who arranged matters in. the me-
tropolis, it was proposed to send down two of the
Committee to Manchester to investigate the
and to dispense the sums to the numerous sufferers.
In Vdin was it urged, by some disinterested mem-
bers, that this would be creating a heavy and
unnecessary expellee, to do that which would
be much better performed by Gentlemen upon the
spot, who would gratuitously performio pleasant
an office as that of,distributing money for chari-
table purposes. Well, Sir R. Phillips and another
philanthropic Gentleman was named, and they
readily accepted the appointment, and were pre-
pared to set riff on their journey to Manchester.
But this did not snit the views of the faction, anti
to work they go with the under-plot, which I will
lay before yon on some future occasion. But the
'result was this: the appointment of these Geode-
men was set aside, and three-. other persons sent
off, viz. Messrs. Service and Rayner, two Secre-
taries of Mr. Flobhoust's and Sir F. Burdett's
'Election Committees, and a Mr. [Jail, a secretary
o, or snit. ,ther‘ efficient ruiember of Sir Robert

Wilson's Elec:ion .Ciuntnittee for the Borough.
You will not lit surprised at this, when 1 inform
you the materials of which Sob-committee
are cc:nposed,. which ate as of Mr.
Hobliou,,e's;•.-id Sir Francis Burdett's friends, for
Westminstet -; five of Sir It. 'Wilson's filet-ids,
named by him, tor the Borough five of Alr.
Waith,..:411., friends for the City,. and five for
the county of Middli—ex, residing in the metro-
of iu voters for the above persons.
But the main object of this hasty and crude
A:idress is merely to ask of the subscribers, whe-
ther it was intended by them, that any pats
of their contributions should be appropriated for
the defence of the ten perions above alluded to
who are to be tried for a conspiracy ? Becduse, if
this be their inteniion, I hope that some of them
will call two') the said Committee to meet the
subscribers in public, and account for their con-
duct in not having, at this late period of the pro-
ceedings, taken one step, or given any Ifisf rue-
ti.ns for that purpose. These are times that
try men's souls and those. who expect to re-
ceive the wire .of my incarceration or blood,
without my snaking any effort to expose and de-
, lest them, are mightily deceived indeed.
" 1 am, Gentlemen,
" Your obedient and obliged servant,

fs* We insert the preceding Letter and recommend it to
the Notice of the ATTOREr-GENERAL, as it is calculated to
prejudice the minds of a Jury, and as it positively accuses
the Magistrates and Yeomanry Cavalry of. Manchester of
those acts the truth of which is to be the subject of investi-
gation before the legal tribunal of their Country. The
first paragraph in this Letter we conceive to be a gross
libel, which the. Parties accused, as well as the ATTORNEY-

GENKRAL, Ought..not to pass over. It is, however, evident,
from :he conciogion of the Letter, that the chief motire
which _has lid ed the Writer to publish it, merely re-

gards hirnsclf, and that lie wants a sul4cription to save bins
front expence, "to put money in his pocket," as is said
by /ago, a character which the great NLi ;ter of Life, SHAKS-

PEA s, seems to have drawn with a prophetic view, when we
cousider the cunning and villainy of Modern. Reformers.
