NO77INGH4M RIOTS.

The latest accounts from Nottingham represent the
disposition to disorder as having most materially sub-
sided. If appearances could he depended upon, the
frame-breakers might be considered as hay ng laid
down their arms, one frame only having been de-
stroyed in the course of the last week ; which vio-
lence was committed at Hucknall Torkard, on the
Monday night.; a waggon-load of frames, however,
were brought from that village to Nottingham, on
Thursday last, under a military escort, to prevent
them from sharing a similar fate.
The attention of the Legislat ,u'e to the subject of the
disturbances is thought to have been productive of ad-
vantage in putting a stop to their progress, it being
supposed that Parliament would enter into an investi-
gation of the causes of these tumults. Independently
of the decay of the manufactures by the events of the
war, there arc many minor circumstances, the better
regulation of which, it was conceived, would go fat
to prevent the recurrence of similar disgraceful scenes.
Some of the frame-work knitters have had a meeting,
at which they resolved to call together a more gene-
ral meeting, to be held on this days in the town of
Nottingham, for the purpose of obtaining information
on the causes cf the disturbances, and communicating
the same to Parliament. The following is a copy of
the address published by some of the workmen to the
whole body :

TO THL lIRAMMORIRANITTICIS OF NOTTINGHAM, THE COUNTY

THEREOT, AND THE TOWNS AND VILLAGES ADJACENT.
" The troubled state to which the above places are reduced,
by the pressure of the times and the operations of the frame-
breakers, having at length excited the attention of the Legisla-
ture, and as many members thereof have expressed a desire to
obtain every possible information as to the probable cause of these
disturbances, it has been thought prucle:a by many of the work-
men, that they and their fellow-workmen at large, should con-
tribute all in their power towards furnishing such information.
" Accordingly a few of them held a seli Ct meeting on Tues-
day last, to take the measure into consideration; when it was re-
solved, that the workmen in every town and village in the neigh-
bourhood should be solicited to send two creditable persons to a
meeting to be held at the slgn of the Sir Isaac Newton, in Glass-
house-lane, in this town, on Monday next, at twelve o'clock
precisely, for the purpose of eommunicating the best intelligence
in their power to such meeting, that such intelligence may be
communicated to Lord Holland, Recorder of the lawn, to the
Membereof the Town, the Members of the County, and to Mr.
Whitbread. " G. HENSON,
" Nottingham, Feb.ll, 1812. " Secretary to the Meeting:.

On Saturday a public meeting was to be held at
the County.hall,Del by, to consider the various offences
which have been lately committed in that county;
and adopt such measures as may appear best calcu-
lated to detect and punish the offenders.
