[l,l4:detnis, &e. To-nivrrow.]

It has been our sincere pride to give full cre-
dit to the fvlagistrares arid Yeomanry Cavalry at
Man'efrester, on the oecessity of the measures
which they adopted for the restoration of public
tranqaillity, and, we cannot doubt that every li-
beral and judicious Person throughout the United
Kitrg(Fron 'entertained the s.eroe opioion. At all
events, no hnnest mind would prejudge the (altera-
tion, and condemn 'without trial, as all the Oppri-
sition Papers hatie_done. But we have received
such information from Ibe must authentic sources
reSpeCting the real principles, objects, and cha
racter of the nriscreauts Who assembled on the
16th nit. at Manchester, as folly_justilies jealt the
measures to which the Authoeiries, Civil and Mi-
litary, were obliged to resort On that memorable
as well as lamentable occasion. We shall•detail.
ii feW particulars, upon which we solemnly as-
sure the PUblic that they may implicitly rely,
in 'order to shew the disposition, spirit, designs,
and expectations of the Reformers, who, from
Various quarters; aasernbledthen'at Manchester.—
In the first
.place, it was the full hope of the•
Rabble in general that their- numbers would be
so much increased as they proceeded to their
head-qoarrers, Alancheiter, as to enable them
wholly to overpower any Civil and Military
Force that could I,Se brought to oppose them.—
This vast accession of power was so confi-
densly expected by them, that for many days
before the Meeting specie had vanished, and it
was impossible to get a bank-note changed—.
Those who were in debt refused payment, and
.their language was, that " the 16th would settle
every thing." The meu were artneol with 'blud-.
geons, and hooked sticks, so strong that a
blow would have fractured the skull, and
have pulled a horseman off.—They had be—
side's shout, pikes concealed, of a most destruc-
tive nature. Not less than seven hundred had
been regularly trained to the military exercise, in
which they were very expert. They were called
to this training every morning, as ponct,ially
as if they had been in the regular service. When
ever they sow a portly man, . they insultingly ad-
dressed him in the following terms :." Your belly
is Worth' a pike." To the women with decent
gowns, who observed them from ,curiosity, they
I've worked for that gown, but
.you,
r shall work for us." To a Gentleman and Lady
who were riding in a gig, they bawled " Come
out, you have ridden long enough ; 'it is our
turn now." In their progress.,sonse of them
stopped at SLATTUCK'S Inn, between Middleton
and Rochdale, and devoured .the breakfast pre-
pared for stage passengers, refusing to pay, and
seizing whatever they could lay hands on. The
shooting at BIRCH, the Constable,' was described
as " a glorious deed," and it was signified that
ail the great tnen of the Country should share the
, same fate. Wherever they saw a betttr bat than
their own it was taken, and the old one con-
' temptuously CASE at the person robbed. The 16th
. they uniformly considered, as Wliat they styled
" the settling day," which was to overthrow the
Government of the Country, and give HUNT and
his gang full command. As a proof that all sense
of Religion was extinguished, they burnt all their
Bibles, and with a kind of walnut, superstition,
they were slowly burnt, as was said, to prolong:
their tiarture. Can it he doubted that such•exe-
crable miscreants wool(' have served all persons of
opposite principles in the same manner ? Was Re-
form to be expected from such desperate wretches,.
or from th'eir Leaders, who most have been fully
apprized of all the horrible views of their de-
bided followers ? We can vouch for the truth
of all that we have now stated, nor can any
parts of it be considered as triffing or indifferent,
as they all co-operate in skewing ..the
de-
termiued diabolical spirit by which the whole
• of the immense mass was actuated. Those
who returned from tire Meeting .of- the lfitb,-
being disappointed in finding that the " settling
day" passed off without the• expected conse•
quences, vented bitter cairaes• on their own
cowardice, and on that of the mob in, general,
for not having ,Wholly destroYid the Military, the
Magistrates, and. all who opposed their designs.—
The Alagistrates were fully apprised of . the
desperate views of these miscreants, and,, by frnrr
awl timely vigour, prevented the destruction
themselves and nil oonlvot . and respectable
Inhabitants of Manclits•ter and tae neighbour-

theistic statement of yesterday, as to the true
character and designs of the atrocious desperadoes
who assembled at, Manchester on the 16th nit.
that the seven hundred Persons, whom we Men-
tioned as having been regularly trained to Mili-
tary discipline, Were only a detaChment or those
who had been thus prepared to hazard en encotn-
ter of the Regular Troopi, and to:overthrow the
Civil Powets of the Stale, and that a much larger
cumber had undergone the same Military Train-
ing, partionlarlyat Tandle Hill, about a mile from
Slattuck's Inn. There •were also many other
places, where the same daring preparations were
Making. At Lees, another party of these
Lary Students, were called every day to their ex-
ercise, and the whole of these 4ariuus- bodiis,
according to report, have attaitied a consider-
able degree of martial dexterity. All they ap-
peared to went was arms, but it was :questioned
whether 'they had not some secret -repository
for guns as well as pikes, which would be foith-
comiog when the day sof final contest sh aid
arrive. The Tinies and The Morning Chronicle,
however, bait: taken these Reformers into favour,
and think they ought to have been permitted to
proceed in 'heir course. Even Howe, who was
abused in The Times for the vulgar indecency of
his conduct, is now represented in that Paper
as a Gentleman. But it is by no Means avo-
nishing that the daring Ruffians of Man-
chester and the neighbourhood should enter-
tain the most diabolical intentions, forahey: have
treated the Church and the Sabbath with.cort-
tempt and ridicule.' 'The Sundays were whoily
employed in reading the infamous productions of
the CABLILES, the WooLEas, the SHERWINS, and
other theoretical systems whiCh are so well calcu-
lated to poison the unreflecting mind., and to lea(l
to practical consequences of the must horrible de-
scription, The Morning Chronicle and the Times
still persevere io their unjust and infamous, asper-
sions on the Magistrates Rod Yeomanry of Man-
chester, and affeet to think more favourably of
those of Paisley, but the latter, we conceive, con-
seions.of having discharged their duty, Must hold
in disdain any commendation froM such polluted
sources. Indeed, those Papers must be consi-
dered as having an interest in the defence of the
riotous Ileformera, as their insidious and iuflatn-
matot y doctrines have tended to loosen the poli-
tical,.,moral, and religious principles of the lower
Orders, and to make them desert their respective
callings in order to improve the Constitution of
the State —The Chronicle of this day, alluding tes
the Paisley Riots, says, "What is meant. by Lato•
ful iluthority, and ,whether the mere assembling
of nersous without such authority constitutes at

once sedition, or Whether it be necessary-that the
language held should tend to disturb the Public
Peace, we are not sufficiently at quaiuted ‘vilh the
Law of Scotland to dererntrrie.!' We believe that
it is ry.) better acquainted with the Law of Eng-
land, or it thinks proper to conceal its know-
ledge, in order to prolong its clause of Govern-
tmint, and to palliate, if not encourage,
