We have inserted this day, among our daill
Extracts from the London Journals, several let"
ters taken from The Times of this day, relative 40
the dreadful massacre which took place on Cho
10th 'ult. at Cadiz. All these letters are dated
the 14th. The melancholy fact admits of 11°
doubt ; but the real cause is still to be explained'
—The Correspondent, or Correspondents of The
Tinier, before it is possible for him (or them) to
have traced the real cause of this lamentable
event, accuses General CAMPANA, formerly Go'
vernor of Cadiz, and VALDES, ad interim. Cont'
mender of the troops in that City, of having bee°
the chief instigators of the horrors that tool‘
place. General FREYRR also is accused of the
most perfidious treachery on the occasion ; and
the Correspondent of The Times has east censor°
on the English Ambassador, perhaps for not hay"
ing been present at the fatal scene, that he might
share in the destruction. We have often caution"
ed our Readers against placing confidence in 7'l
Times, upon which we place no reliance whatever'
Its Correspondents of every kind know what will
please it most, and therefore adapt their comno.
nit!. ations to its known propensities, views, 84
feelings.—We therefore again warn our Reader°
not to dePerfd on the causes which that Paper WI
assign for any event, and to trust even its naffs:
tions no further than as they may be supported
by a general concurrence in the reports of other
public prints.

We earnestly and warmly suggest to the loyal
Freeholders of Middlesex, the propriety of con-
vening a Public Meeting, to-express their opinion
.of their late most worthy Repiesentative, Mr
Iler.Ltsyt. That his high character does not need
any support, we are well aware; but we think
they would be gratified in putting upon record
their concurrence with his principles, and appro-
bation of his conduct, in a manner not less 1,0-
Itely honourable to themselves than to him. We
are persuaded, that Radicalism has had its last
triumph in Middlesex ; and that, whenever the
lesson of an Election shall recur, experience will
have taught its Freeholders, not only to return

A Public Meeting has been called, for a month
hence, to consider of some m- rk of " National

name one of his Majesty's Gaols.

(From "the Leerl: Intelligexceri"Mtril

For several days, the peaceable inhabitants of
thin town have been kept in a state of great agi-
tation and terror from the alarming indications in
the neighbourhood. •
The Magistrates, early on Friday, received information
that great numbers of the lower class in the neighboarbood,
were armed with pikes and pistols, and that in the course of
that night, an attack was meditated upon the town, on a
given Signal, by riumerons Parente'', in bodies of two burl-
died each. With the promptitude and 'alacrity which they'
have manifested on many' former occasions, every arrange-
ment was made for the security of the town. A detaChuient
of the 85th Foot, under Captain Welling, and the 4th
Dragoons, under Captain Sibthorpe, were held in readi-
ness to act at a moment's notice; and late in the evening, the
yeomanry were called out, and other precautionary niea
stires adopted. The signal,- a sort of fire balloon, was ob-
served about two o'clock on Saturday morning; in the di-
rection of Castle Hill, near Almondbory ; and several partici
of men, in regular order, were seen, in different directions
approaching the town. One division came so near as the
Marsh turnpike, a short distance • from the New Church.
None of thew.- however, entered the town, having, it is sup-
posed, received intelligence of the preparations made by
the' Magistrates. Two large bodies assembled on Barkisland
Common, and proceeded on their way, as far as Lindley
Moor; but not being joined, as they expected, by some other
parties, they returned home, and dispersed quietly, except

firing guns and pistols on their2route.
A circumstance occurred the same evening which convin-
ced the magistrates that their apprehensions were not ground-
less. About eleven o'clock, a gentleman who lives near
Cooper-bridge, was returning to that place from Middleton,
accompanied by a game-keeper, and three other persons,
whom they had accidentally overtaken. On arriving at the
Obelisk, (or Dumb-Steeple, as it is usually called) near
Kirklees, which, our readerS will • recollect, is the place
where the Luddites rendezvoused, previously to their attack-
ing Mr. Cartwright's will, they passed about fifteen men, in a
square or circle, apparently in close consultation. Two of the
party, named Brea:-ley and Smith, turned off into the New
Road; and the rest proceeded towards Cooper bridge. They
had not, however, gone too yards, twfore they heard their late
companions calling for help, On returning back,aud entering
the road, they were surprised to see a number of men, sat
under a hedge or wall, each armed with a pike or spear, and
near them was'a quantity of the same weapons, about euo,
heaped on the ground. The Gentleman, who was separated
from his cons panions, took up one of the pikes, arid was proceed-
ing to examine it, when on- of the men struck bins, and he
was attacked by several others. At the same moment a
number of persons, at least sixty, came over an adjoining
wall, armed in the same manner. The Gentleman felt
alarmed at his dangerous situatioa, and attempted to make
off; while doing so, a pistol or musket was discharged after
him, the ball of which whizzed close past his head. In the
mean time, the rest of the party were attacked and beaten.
One of them, named Tolson, received several pike-wounds,
particularly cue on the left side, and is now under the care of
a surgeon. Early the next morning, information was given
to the Magistrates, and out of the men whom they were able
to identify, a blacksmith, was apprehended, and is now in
custody.

During the whole of Saturday, the military and civil power
were on the alert. A number of addition ti special constables
were sworn in ; and several seizures of pikes and other arms,
were made in the neighbouring villages, particularly at M-
mnndhury. In a house at the latter place, a quantity of
pike staves, great numbers of which have been cut from the
neighbouring plantations, were found concealed. Some of
the pikes, or rather spears, we have seen. They are of very
coarseworkmanship, the blade about nine inches long, sharp
pointed, and having at the broad.end a screw, with which.
they arc fastened into a pole, about seven feet long.
Parties of horse aed font patrolled the town and neigh-
bourhood during the whole of Saturday night, and two men
were apprehended'at an early hour on Sunday morning. A.
large party was seen assembled on Saturday night, about four
miles from 1-Tuddersfield, in the neighbourhood of liartshead,
but they had dispersed before the military were apprised of
their meeting.

le town and neighbourhood were tranquil tinting the
whole of yesterday; but several apprehensions were expected
to take place,in the coarse of last night.
The following persons are in. custody on charges connected
with the proceedings ;—Joseph and Benjamin Barker, of Mir-
field ; John Lindley, of Mirfield ; George Barker, of Coble-
Joshua Hirst, of Deighton.
olt. one o'clock, on Tuesday morning, a sentinel at the
barracks in !scholes-street, near the New-cross, Manchester,
was him] at by sowe unknown villain. The ball very fortunately
missed its Aim. It appears to have been fired from a pistol in
aa elevated situation. No cause can be conjectured why the
poor fellow should he fired at. Toe boroughreeves and con-
stables of Manchester have, with their usual promptitude and
liberality, offered a reward of Fi t'y Guineas fur the discoveiy
of the pet son who shot at the sentinel.
The Female Reformers of this town, notwithstanding their
poverty and Distress, have bought a gold medal hrol chain,
for the parpose of presenting to Hunt. It was intend-
ed to have been given to him on his passage through
Leeds; as they anticipated a very different verdict.—We
understand it has been transmitted to London in a mo-
rocco case.—A cap of liberty ornamented the centre of the
medal, with the legend " Hunt triumphant, a friend to the
liberty of the sntij,r',.” On the reverse, " A token of regard
front the fee.ale reformers of Leeds, Yorkshire.—March,
1820.” it cost 6!. I2s. ; and was paid for in three pound
notes, and the rest sixpences and shillings.
