AM,

The insurrectional state to which this count, bee
been reduced for the last month, has no poodle: its
its history, since the troubled days of Charles the
First, against which misguided monarch it took so
decided a part. These truly alarming tumults had
their origin in a complaint exhibited by the staling-
makers against same of the hosiers, on account oldie
latter abating the fashioning price of making stirs
descriptions of stockings, and causing others, along
with sandals, socks, caps, &c. to be cut out of pieces,
in like manner as a tailor cuts a imminent; and the
stockings, &c. thus made, were not only deprived of
their proper loopmelvages, which are tge grace.
the ornament, and natural guarantee to the real
value of the frame-work-knitted stockings, but, as
many more could be produced in any gives time
then could be of those properly fashioned, the
wages of the workmen and the work itself were daily
on the decline, as was also the credit of the trade.—
And if we add to these causes of complaint the con-
stant advancement in the price of every article neces-
sary to human subsistence, the true causes of these
disturbances will be found.
The object of the workmen has been to destroy
those machines, or‘freater, as they are called in the
dialect of the trade, that were employed in the mak-
ing of pieces to be cut up into stockings, &c. ; and
indiscriminately those" belonging to the hosiers, who-
had rendered their names obnoxious by giving re.
duced prices. Day after day have the Magistrates,
both of the town and county, used every possible en-
deavour to restore tranquillity ; day after day bare

power, and called in additional aid of the al./Fury ;
but, hitherto, their exertions have been but of little
avail : a mysterious organization has been brought
into existence, which baffles every ordinary effort to
suppress it. The rioters appear suddenly in armed par.
ties, under regular commanders ; the chief of whom,

Melville, on the sth of this month, (the woeful day
three years I quitted England.) She got under weigh
from Port Louis about eight o'clock, A.M.-and we
put to sea, the weather having a very unfavourable
appearance. We had between seven and eight hun-
'tired Seapoys and Europeans on board. The greater
part of the day' there was a driizling rain, and be-
tween seven-and eight o'clock in the evening it began
to blow- a violent hurricane, ore as the French term
it, a -coup de vent.: We tried to take in sail, but
found it impossible, the wind freshening, every mu-
ntent, and blowing horn all iioints of the compass.—
Before nine the same evening, we lost cur fore, main,
arid amen •top-gallant masts and yasds, and imme-
diately after our fore and main=top masts, every mo-
ener.t expecting to go to the bottom, all hopes being
gieen over by the Captain. Towards ten thewind still

turned Out to be, greatly eased the ship. The men

Ungovernable, and we had nearly sunk. Here the
captain told us all was over—and certainly had it
not been for the presence of mind of some on board,

and still steered the. ship, all had been finished. .Tee

my dearest sister, is certainly worse than death. The
anchors getting loose, they were cast away : but how-
ever, not before one of them had made an immense
hole is the ship's bows. Both our large boats were
hnecked fo pieces, and flung overboard—the gig, or
email bent, was carried up hyehe force, of the wind,
as high as the-mizen-yard. 1
14 You will be surprised to hear, that out of so
many men so few lost their lives. We only lost eight,:
Three se3poys were killed by the boat falling upon
them ; and 'one so jemmee,• that he died the follow-
ing morning. Three lescars were missing, supposed.
to have been blown off from the main yard during
the gale, bind one Seacumine fell overboard when in
the act. of cutting away the mizzen rigging. Some
hundreds Would have in all probability been killed,
had it not been for the fortunate coincidence of its
raining hard the-whole day, and thereby keeping -the
greater part down below. Certainly there cannot be
buele a timid useless set of beings on board a ship as
keapoys, but a description of them will not'do here.
However, to go on with this horrid narrative, the
