FROLf TUE LICHFIELD MERCURY, FRIDIT, JUNE 13.

‘, We regret to have to record a Rkt, atteat:ed
with fatal consequences, at Offetton, about' twelve
miles fri m Derby. Tie intelligence reached this
City early in the forenoon of Wednesday ; sorts' after
which a detachment of infantry anived in pursuit of
two men who had made their escape; and who had
been principal instrutuents in the affair by which tw,t
special constables had been killed. Two men, an-
swering the dessripiron given, had passed through
this City about two hours previously, taking the road
to W.il:all. One of the soldiers pushed on, and en.
tried IValsall before the fugitives, who arrived by
another route, they were both secured, and are now
in custody.
" The above riot is said to be a put of a partial
effort at insuriection, extending across the country
into Yorkshire ; and, it is added, that some farther
txccsses may be immediately expected to take place.
beveral stands of arms were taken possession of by
the mob, hut the affair has terminated by the capture
of about Icy
,of them, who are lodged in Derby
county gaol The Derby Paper received yesterday is
very tcrerred on this subject, but we believe that we
are correct in stating that forty prisoners are in gaol,
and that two special constables have fallen."

'6 We s.op the press to state, that we have just re-
ceived intelligence from Nottingham. The prisoners
brought in there had cont.'ett: y /Veil thegaol ; yet all
the principal roads were covered with det.ichmentsoi
prisoners still coming in. Great numbers had re-
fused to act as special constables, and Nottingham
was in a state of consiJerable ferment and apprehen-
sion from the multiplicity of conflicting reports. I'he
report of a plan of a partial rising, extending from
Nottingham across a most populous district, to the
extremity of Y.,rkshire, seems to have been pretty
correct ; and before twenty-four hours expire, many
interesting particulars of the result will be made
known. All the yeomanry corps are vet, and many
of tflun have made forced triarcnes by night, of
twenty and thirty milts in extent. From the circum-
stance GI if .141 eat number of the pr !mitts r.eiiig ATMed,
we fear more blood has bean shed."

have tiny c!,ancc of success in their desperate and
wicked courses.

" Tuesiay afternoon the Mayor and Magistrates
received an express, inn-inning them that a Simulta-
neous rising c.f the disaffected had taken place, at
midnight. at south Winfield. and several other vil-
lages in Derbyshire. It appears that the mobs were
armed with fire•arms, pikes, and other weapons, and
were proceeding in a body to Nottingham.
Magistrates here instantly adopted measures suited to
the occasion, and we are happy to say that no dispo.,
sition to distuibance was manifested in this town cr
neiglib. zarliood.
1. Wednesday morning the Mayor received another
dispatch from Nottingham, stating that the mob
Irons the North Western side of Derbyshire had ad•
var.ced near to Eastwood, on thtir way to Notting-
t•tiro. A iiarty of the 15th Hussars, under Captain
and Mr. Lear, accompanied by Mr. Rot.
LA:arON and Mr. C. G. bkrun, as Magistrates, set
cut to meet them. They got s;ght d them about a
mike cti this side of Eastwood : the moment the in
siirgents saw the trorps, they &el hi all directi,nis
aci( ss the li:lds, and although they were pursued
with great speed, the roili:ary could secure E 0 mule
tkan eight and twenty—many oh wl.orn had aims in
then hands.

" A very cmisiderable number of loaded gun:,
pitchforks, and a few sworcts, bate col-
lec.e2, which the snub had thew: away iu their
fithlit. The tire-arms were all leaded, for the most
part, with ball, but rot a shot was fired. The pikes
me new, very strong, of a formidable appea7auce,
and c.iiieie;era:Jle length. Many ul the prisonetb 1.;,c1
powder and bin about them, and many bullets were
found on the road. They bad searched all tile houses
ion their way for arms and ammunition, and men,
whom they compelled to go with them. They de
dared all the way, Mat Plunder was not their olieet,l
bat to oltoin their Right, and alter the Government.—
They seem to have committed no outrage, except
that it was stated that one man was killed by them
in Derbyshire. The military drove them out of the
county of Nottingham into Derbyshire,w here a great
many were taken by the High hheriff, with a troop

of yeomanry or that county. All was qc;et is Not..
tingliam when the dispatch came away. Two troops
of yeomanry were in the town, and scouts not on the
Derbyshire side. Nothing can exceed the zeal, ah.
crqy, and good spirit of the 15th Hass.irs, and 96th
int.intry.

66 l'be Yeomanry Cavalry of this county have re-
ceived nrders to hold themselves in readiness to as-
smote at a m,,ment's warning, and the Magistrates
Are every wh_re ma the alert. Part no the Leicester
(stoops of Yeomanry marched on Tuesday evening
