The authors, participators, and abettors of the
Manchester outrages are now in the utmost conster-
nation. Every artifice to which they have had re-
course, for the suppression of truth, has failed them.
It is impossible not to see the hand of PROVIDENCE in
the almost miraculous manner in which all these at-
tempts to screen the guilty have, hitherto, been frus-
trated. Not a Magistrate would receive an affidavit
from the sufferers who demanded justice—to the
Grand Jury they appealed in vain—their haughty
oppressors laughed them to scorn—and secure as
these oppressors thought themselves, in the counte-
nance of Government, and the impossibility of any
longs reaching them through the Tribunals of the
Country, there was no bounds to their arrogance.—
But enough had transpired to rouse the indignant
feelings of a British Public, and " the proud day,"
the day which acquired them the thanks of an ap-
proving Ministry, began at length to fill them with
uneasiness. When they saw that, from one end of
the country to the other, high and low, rich and
poor, joined in condemnation of that proud day, their
hearts began to fail them. The public indignation
began to alarm, for their own safay, those on whom
they placed their principal reliance. The Grand Jury
had already disappointed the expectations of the suf-
ferers, but another wise Institution of our forefathers
remained—the Tribunal of the Coroner, and thus, in
a quarter from which these proud men never dreamt,
probably, of danger, the Justice of the Country will,
in all probability, overtake them.
In no part of the kingdom has the dreadful catas-
trophe at Manchester on .the 16th ultimo, excited'
stronger feelings of abhorrence than in Liverpool.—
In a few days after the event Mr. DENtsoN, a highly
respectable Solicitor, was deputed by a numLer of
Gentlemen to proceed to Manchester, for the pur-
pose of investigating-the conduct of those implicated
in the transaction, and collecting such proofs as
might bring the question before a legal tribunal.

Mr. Dzisos co-operated with Mr. HAnsiEn and
Mr. PEARSON, and the v:tluable result of their exer-
tions is before the Public.

shortly alter the occurrences at Manchester, a
Public Meeting was held in Liverpool on the subject
of Parliamentary Reform, but the consideration of
the late melancholy affair was then purposely ab
stained from, under a pledge that a Meeting should
be called. to express the sentiments of the town at
some future period, when the public mind would be
better informed on the subject, and able to .come to
a di-passiotuate decision. That Meeting has n.,w been
held, and the_Proceedibas, which are a a vet', 4ni-

mated and gratifying description, will be fount de-
tailed in another part of our Paper.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forxxoon.
His Excellency Mr. no T. 114aormo, Go9arnor-
General of the Isle of France, has left Paris, to re-
turn to England, whence he will shortly re .mbark
w resume the government of that Color y. The
King of FRANCS, previous to his departure, presented
him with the decoration of the Royal Order of the
Legion of Honour ; " a flattering proof," say the
Journals, " of his esteem for the benevolent and
protecting conduct which his Excellency has cob-
aantly sliewn, during his administration as Governor
of the Isle of France and Bourbon, towards their in-
habitants."—Five per Cents. Monday, 71 fr.. 5 c.

LEEDS, SEPTEMBER 29.

TO THE EDITOR.

This day CHRISTOPHER BECKETT, Esq. second.son
of Sir JOHN BECKETT, Bart. of Gledhow, near this
town, and brother to the Judge Advocate, was elected
Mayor of Leeds for the year ensuing. This is a most
mortifying circumstance to the Radical Reformers,
as Mr. BEChiETT is a firm adherent to Pitt principles,
while his worthy predecessor, GEORGE BANKS, Fsq:
was supposed to be more attached to the Whig inte-
rest. This Election is extremely unpopular among
the lower orders, who have for some time past evin-
ced their dislike by chalking on the walls and other
public places—" No BECKETT—BANKS for ever!"
I am happy to inform you, that the parading of
the streets by persons belonging to BEsvox's Factory
proves :o have been nothing serious. There was
some stoppage for the repair of machinery, and re-
ports having been before circulated that a turn-out
for higher wages was contemplated by the workmen
of some of the Factories, it was instantly reported
that this parading was a recommencement of that
system.
