It is with much anxiety that We state The Con-
tinuance of the Cotton SpinWer's in a state of
whir!' may properly be stiled Rebellion, so far as
refroctory spirit exteoyik Unfortunately
there see some Icing f;otitiiirata, arrkul., tar;
ing, and ferocious, who overawe the rest. The
Magistrates have acted with proper vigour; and
yet with most commendable forbearance. That a
vast majority are withheld by fear and shame from
returning to their duty, there is no doubt. Per-
haps an offer of reward for the discovery of the
Chief Agitators, as well as a warning against penal
consequences, may render the principal Promoters
less daring, and induce others to resume their indus-
trious labcurs for the support.of their starving
families. The evil is melancholy and alarming.—
We subjoin the following notice, and more parti-
culars respecting the recent fire, which, however,
we still hope was really, accidental, though it af-
forded an occasion for triumph to the mischievous
Spirits who keep the town and neighbourhood in
CoMmution

" Whereas it appears that unlawful combinations, to a con-
siderable extent, hare fur some time prevailed amongst the
persons usually employed in cotton fictories, which com-
binations have recently manifested themselves, not only in
great numbers assembling and parading the streets, but
in besetting particular mills, and forcibly preventing well-
disposed individuals from pursuing their employment : And
whereas the last-mentioned practices have been already at-
tempted with breaches of the public peace: The Borough-
reeve and Constables of Manchester therefore give Notice,
that it is equally their duty and determination to suppress,
by every legitimate means, all tumultuous proceedings,
and to bring to justice all who arc concerned in viola-
tion, of the public peace, as well as to protect the parties
mho are desirous of attending their work. And they further
give Notice, that (independently of the serious consequences
which the law inflicts upon those who are implicated in acts
of tumult or outrage) the parties ordinarily, concerned in the
unlawful Conspiracies before-mentioned, are liable to be pro-
secuted and punished, either in a summary way before two
Magistrates under the Combination Act, which limits the ex-
tent Or Imprisonment, or by indictment at common law,
which leaves the duration of imprisonment to the discretion
of the Court before whom the offenders may be tried.

" On Monday evening, the 27th ult. a very de-
structive fire broke out in the premises, No. 9,
Back George-street, and destroyed, in a .very
short time, the warehouses occupied. by Messrs.
'l'. and J. Todd, and Messrs. Calvert, from which,
by active exertions, the cash and books, and a
large quantity of goods, were rescued, and, by the
excellent management of the fire-engines, the de-
structive element was prevented flout spreading
to the adjoining premises, which at one time were
in imminent danger. Au immense multitude of
Persons collected upon the occasion, and, we are
sorry to add, not from the laudable wish of ren-
dering assistance to the sufferers, but to enjoy the
spectacle which the destructive couflagration af-
forded their depraved minds. The motive for
congregating being so very improper, it is nut
to be wondered at that irregularity and disorder
ensued, and the presence of so many persons, who
had no disposition to assist in removing so severe
a visitation as that they witnessed, was in itself
an increase' of the evil, since the crowd prevented
the full exertion of the powers of those, who,
actuated by better mu.i►es, had resorted to the
spot from a wish to render all possible assistance
to the sufferers. Disorder and irregularity every
moment extended themselves, and the maligoaut
gratification of seeine property so destroyed very
rapkly increased, till most active mischief broke
tint, and stones and mud were thrown at several
Gentlemen who endeavoured to change the up-
roar to order ; and one of t heat received a violent
blow on his face, which bled profusely. Hap-
pily, however, these turbulent proceedings were
not suffered to become more violet]: (for popular
tumult is like fire, it will sot ead and increase if not
chef ked), the Riot Act was read, and a troop of
horse was marched to the spot, to support the lega-
lised authorities against a spirit as much at variance
with the common feelings ot humanity, as with the
precepts of religion and the laws of the country.
At night, we are' happy .to say, all was quiet, and
the persons who had so much disgraced themselves
retired home. The wicked spirit which they had
manifested afforded another proof of the baleful
efft et of idleness, which saps the foundation of
every virtue, and prepares the mind for the seeds
of crime. 'rite late refractory conduct of many
of the working classes,
.instigated by evil spirits
who delight in mischief, which has made them
absent themselves from the duty they owe to
themselves; their families, and society, bad in
some degree fitted them for mischief;. and, but
for the watchful conduct of the Magistracy, would
probably have broken out into acts of extreme
violence. iiihen a considerable part of the po-
pulation of a town is unemployed, there is al-
ways much danger to the rest ot the community.
This is a truth so well understood, that it has be-
come a proverb to say, "1 he Devil always makes
sure of a man who has nothing to do.' "--(Man-
chester Herald )

MANCIIMER, iVICUST 4.

" A serious fire broke out here, between the
hour); of seven and eight on Monday evening, on
the premises in Back George-sheet, of which
Messrs. Thomas and Joseph Todd, hat-lining and
silk-manufacturers, arf principal occupants. The
inveteracy of the flames defied the best exertions
to subdue them, and the whole premises fell a prey,
in a short space of time. Great fears were enter-
tained for the safety of the dwelling-houses in the
front street, but the well-directed efforts of the
fire•enginerr preserved them from a fate which
formidably threatened them. One of the contin-
gencies of this disaster was the removal of a Lady,
wilt) had been recently confined ; she was ettlrieti
from the spot on a litter. Under what cifcum-
stance", and in what particular direction 'of the j

premises the are origii;atee, is At pi.:l-et.t.
Mete mystery. The building wfis Hot Insured,
but we are happy to learn that Messrs. Todd and
/Co. are no sult,rers. We heel great plcalorce iu

LONDON,
THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1818.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday last. The following are Extracts :
" Palm, Au°. 3 —The King held a Court
yesterday at the Thuilleries, which was nume-
rously and btilliatitly attended. Amongst those
present were Marshals the Dukes of Dantzic, de
Trevise, de Tareute, and Count Jourdan, the Prll-
lusters, a great number of Peers, &c. Marshal the.
Duke de Reggio presented to the King and the
Princes, the Colonels, Lieutenant-Colonels, and
Officers of the Ist and 4 h Regi.ments of the
Guard, the 2d Regiment of lIor•e Grenadiers, the
Regiment of noise Chasseura, &c.
" A Memoir is eirenlating at Park, entitled
Preliminary Observations respecting the Baron Ca-
nnel, Lieutenant-General of the King, Inspector-
! General of Infantry: This Memoir is signed by
M. I3errier, junior, Advocate.
i• The 27th ult. at half-past seven in the even-
ing, the Duke of Gloucester disembarked at Brest,
where be was received by the corps of Marines
and the offirers of the garrison. The Count de
Goordon, Marine Commandant, gave a dinner to
his Royal Highness, who expressed himself highly
sat ',tied with his reception. It is thought the
Duke will proceed :nun thence to Rochefort, then
to Bourdeaux, that he will make a tour in Swit-
zerland and Italy, and return to England by the
way of Park.

"'Tie Courier de Strasburgh states, that Marshal
the Duke de Ftltte is very ill at his estate of Neu-

wilier, near Saverne.

" The same Journal says, it appears certain
that the Duke of Wellinz,ton will, iu the course
of August, continence the inspection of thellif-
ferent cotps d'Arrn6e. He will be on the
28:h or 291) at the Chateau of Reich-
shoffen, io the environs of which, as last
year, the Wm-tem-burgh troops will he review,-
et!.

Orders have been issued for the several
corps commanded by the Count de Seheler to as-
semble on the 10th in the environs of Wisse►nhurg,
for preparatory exercises. The review of the
Austrian troops will take place at the some pe-

liod, in the Plain of I-Inglienan. Several Regi.
tnents cantoned in Haut Rhin s ill also proceed

thither.

" It is said that the Independent vessel which
has entered the river, of Bourdeaux is a flag of truce
from Buenos Ayres, and that it has Imre(' per-
sons commissioned to solicit the free exercise of

maritime commerce for the vessels of that city.

4‘ The Count de. Woronzoff, Commandant of
'the Russian Contingent in France, basset out for
" The Chevalier Bredeslow, Capt. of hussars
in the Pru,sian service,' was bitten by his dog at
Dantzic, in the course Of February lest. The
wound was very slight, but the dog was killed,
it baring at the same time torn its roaster's
hei-
lisse, and being supposed to he attacked by mad-
nes's The .Captain, however, paid no attention
to the wound, and did not think it necessary

to have recourse to medical aid. On the 10th

July having asked (or a glass of water, the sight
of this bevirage inspired him with a repugnance
which he could not overcome. Symptoms of hy-

dropkobia then began to manifest themselves.—
Ahdical aid was called in, but without effect, and

he died on the 12th.
