" TREASON ! SEDITION! REBELLION!

" The accounts we learns at a late bout last night, are of a
most extraordinary and alarming nature from Manchester. We
can only give as we were informed. Government have been fur
Man time th possession of information that a most diabolical plot
was In cootemphtlog to destroy the whole town of Manchester,
the Megistratee, and a certain portion of the inhabitants by 6,e
and other destreedve means ; the parties who were the wain
vers, and to be the perpetrator of this horrid scheme, were
known to the Magistrates and Police of that pan of the country,
at least some of them, and information of the parties was sent 10
the Secretary et State's Office against them, and circentstances bl
their conduct amounting to nothing short of High Treason, and
oensequence warrants charging the different parties with that

Melva* Secretary of State for the Home Department, and made
oral to several King's Messengers, who were dispatched In
Maticheeter to execute them. Upon their arrival in Manchester,

the dreadful and suenerees combination, a whistle with the fin-
gers is the altilatts was the signal when a stranger was discovered;
and although Manchester Is one of the largest tower in England,
the operations of the rebellions were so well organised, that it is
supposed that strangers were pretty well discovered, and their
Ibusiness aseertaised. The determination of the cimbined par-
ties was ascertained to be proseediug with se much vokoce and
determloadon, that the Magistracy of that town thought it right
openly to avow their knowledge of the mischief Intended, by no.
Wag less than acts of open rebellion, which they did by a public
Proclamation, which was posted in different parts of that town,
informing the public that they had received icier:nation upon
width they could rely, the object of which was nothing less than
open insurrection and rebellion. Persons calling themeeires De-
penes had arrived In Manchester, nut only front tbr dirtier, bet
tram awathers of other towel at a cousiderabie divaece, who
woes solagord In a plot to attack different towns, but Manchester
was the Arm gawked out for attack, and the diabolical enterprise
was to take place on Sunday. To counteract their designs, mesa
surer of percamioo, consistent with the sweet previously ob-
served, had been suede, and means had been prepared, it was
hoped,telly adequate to irustrate the horrid machinations which
bad been cuotemplated. A Urge military force was near the
town. NottiviAstanding these arrangements under the paint,
and open circumstances of treason, the inhabitants, by the puhiic
notice for their Fermat security, were called upon to come for-
ward Insmodnteiy, to evince the woo' abhorrence they feel at
sothdeustable plots, and to prove by their conduct to the ene-
IWO of atonal order, that neither courage nor power is wanting to
resist, or to overcome any attack which may be made, however
meloss or however sudden.
0 This had the desired effect, together with numerous bodies
of the military, horse and foot, pouring in from all directions
round the town ; uutwitbsuuds4 this formidable military force,
an attempt was made for the projected meeting to be held In the
open air, as announced, and persevered in, but they were dis-
pened ; outwithstaudieg so determined were these mischlevoes

they met in homes, and adjourned three times from house to
house, in smell numbers, to avoid discovery and.detectioa ; how-
ever, the information of the Police, and the *Metal Gentlemen

movements were knows,, and eleven of them, the most violent
and active, were apprehended. Five of them were Deputies
from usher Towne, and they were safely lodged in the New
