issue for public collections throughout all the churches,
chapels, and dissenting congregations in the kink-

As all politiCal questions should be excluded, and he
who may attempt to force them into discussion,
should and will be marked as the enemy of the suf•
fering classes, so should all party creeds and religi-
gious distinctions be kept out of view, that the grand
end of pure and undefiled religion, so far as regards
our fellow-creatures, may be attained. Let these be
no delay. Let us have a long pull, a strong pull.
and a pull altogether in the cause of suffering humanity.
We should now proceed to point out some of the
remeJies which may be best calculated to enable the'
NV ork men to live by their labour, but our limits do
not permit us to enter on the subject to-day. We
shall seize an early opportunity to bring this subject
before our Rsaders.

THE DISTURBED DISTRICTS.

A PROCLAMATION.
By his Royal Highness the Panter of Wanes, Repute of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire Lind, in the Nsjue
and on the Behalf of his Majesty,
Gement, P. R.
Whereas in diners parts of Great Britain, meetings of large
numbers of his Majesty's subjects have been held upon the re-
quisition of persons who, or same of whom, have, together with
others, by seditious and treasonable speeches addressed to the
persons assembled, excleavoured to bring into hatred and con-'
tempt the Government and Constitution established in this
realm, and particularly the Commons House of Parliament,
and to excite disobedience to the laws, and insurrection against
his Majesty's anthority.
And whereas it bath beer represented unto us, that at one of
such meetings the persons there assemble.i, in gross viulation of
the law, did attempt to constitute and appoint, and did, as much
as in them lay, constitute and appoint a person then nominated,
to sit in their name and on their behalf in the Commons House
of Parliament ; and there is reason to believe that other meet-
ling& are about to be held for the like unlawful purpose.
And whereas. many wicked and seditious writings have been
printed, published, and industriously circulated, tending to pro
mote the several purposes aforesaid, and to raise groundless jea-
lousies and discontents in the minds of his Majesty's faithful
and loyal subjects.
And whereas we have been further given to understand, that,
with a view of the better enabling themselves to carry into effect
the wicked purposes aforesaid, in some parts of the Kingdom,
men, clandestinely and unlawfully assembled, have practised
military training and exercise.
And whereas. the welfare and bappine of this Kingdom do,
under Drriegs Pitovmseez, chiefly depend upon a due submis-
sion to the laws, a just reliance or the integrity and wisdom of
Parliament, and a steady perseverance in that attachment to the
Government and Constitution of the Realm, which has ever
prevailed in the minds of the people thereof; and whereas there
is nothing which we so earnestly wish as to preserve the pubic
pace and prosperity, and to secure to all his Majesty's liege
subjects the entire enjoyment of their rights and liberties.
We, therefore, being resolved to repress the wicked, sedi-
tious, and treasonable practices aforesaid, have thought fit, in
the nem._ and on the hs half of his Majesty, and by and with the
advice of his Majesty's l'rivy Council, to issue this our Royal
Proclamation, solemnly warning all his Majesty's liege subject;
to guard against every attempt to overthrow the law, and to sub-
vet t the Government so happiltestahlished within this Realm.
and to abstain from eve:y measure inconsisteet with the peace
and good order of society, and earnestly exhorting them at all
times, and to the utmost of the'r power, to avoid and discoun-
tenance all proceedings tending to produce the evil effects above
desztibed.
And we do strictly enjoin all his Majesty?* loving subjects
Ito forbear front the practice of all such military training and
exercise as aforesaid, as they shall anwer the contrary thereof
at their peril.
And we do charge and command all Sheriffs, Justices of the
Peace, Chief Magistrates of Cities, Boroughs, and Corporations,
and all other Magieretes throughout Great Britain, that they
do, within t'seir recrective jurisdictions, make diligent inquiry
in order to discover and bring to justice the authors and printers
of such wicked and seditious writings as aforesaid, and all who
shall circulate the same ; and that they do use their best endea-
vours to bring to justice all person who have been, or may be
guilty of uttering seditious speeches andharapeues, and all per-
sons concerned in any riots or tulle:Wall assemblies, which, on
whatever pretext they may be grounded, are not only contrary
to law, but dangerous to the most important interests of the
Kingdom.
Given at the Court at Carlton-House, this 30th day of July,
1819, and in the 59th year of his Majesty's reign.
GOD SAVE Tue KJI4O.
