ful and loyal an Address, and assuring their Lordships that no

These Papers are similar to those presented to the other Houses

The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated that when the Pipers

shonld take place on as early a day as may be convenient to

Earl GREY inquired if it were intended that no previous ins
quiry or invesilgauen should take place?
The Earl of LIVERPOOL expressed his opinion, that under'
the circumstances of the case, and the full information that
would be laid before their Lordships, no proceeding of the kind
would be necessary. It was, therefore, not intended to pro-
pose ant.
In an .to a question from Earl Geri when it was in-
tended to enter into a discussion of the proposed measures?

was then absent from indisposition, would probably bring in the
intended Bills to-morrow; and that for his part, he should be
ready to enter into the discussion on as early a day after as their

;New Bailey Court-house, SWfoml, July 1, 1819.
Mr Loan—As Magistrates of this district we fed onroalideb:
called upon to communicate to your Lordship our impreishos
upon the present state of affairs within the roach of our observa-
tion. We are far from wishing to yield to unnecessary alarm; bat
when we entertain serious apprehensions, we =nook refrain
froth midig them knonn to your Lordship.
We hi a. difficulty in stating to your Loidship toy specie
facts tt which legal responsibility will attach to any partleu
ear at present ; brat, upon the general view of the
abilmni:00.411111110t have a doubt that some alarming insurree.s.

the general Measures of Govermnowe lad Pirliament ; and When
the peopk 'are oppressed with hunger, we do not wonder at their
giving ear to any doctrines which they ire told will redress
their grievances.
Although we cannot but applaud the hitherto peaceable d‘
stages= of many if the lamming classes, yet we do not calculate
upon their remaining unmoved.. Urged on by the harangues of
a few desperate demagogues we anticipate, at no distant period;
a general rising : and possessing no power to prevent the Meet-
ings which are weekly held, we, as Magistrates, are at a lost id
know how to stem the influence of the dangerous and seditious
doctrine which are continually disseminated. To these Mee- •
ings, and the unbounded liberty of Me press, we refer the principal
weight of the evil which we apprehend.
We believe on Monday next a Meeting will be held at Black-
burn, and on the following Monday at Manchester, at both of
which Sir Charlet Wolseley is to preside. As the law now stands;
we cannot interfere with these Meetings, notwithstanding our
decided conviction of their mischief and danger. We *rennet
anxious to do every thing in our power to preserve the peace of
the country, but upon this most important point we are unarmed:
We have the honour to be,
Your Lordship's most faithful and obedient servants,

'Wentworth, 21a July, 1819.
MY Loan—A General Meeting of the People on Hunsiet
Moor, near Leeds, having-been fixed for Monday, the letb inks
I have deferred writing to your Lordship, since my arrival in the
West Riding, till that event had taken place.
From the reports I have received of what passed on that oeta
sloe, I find that nearly the same Orators who took a leash:4phi
at the preceding Meeting at the same place, and also at Other
Meetings in the West Riding, again mok the lead at this • their
professed object and means the same—Paribunentary Reforin,
through Universal Suffrage, Election by Ballot, and Annual
Parliameuts, but not to be sought for by violence ; to these was
added, on this occasion, the election of a Representative to Par-
liament, whenever a proper one could be mot with. The Reiss-
lutions passed were numerous and long; but I have not their
particulars as yet, the managers not having yet dressed them pp • •
to their owe liking for paint, which I suppose they will do in the
usual way, on such occasion, without any very scrupulous attest-
tiop to what was proposed and passed by the Meeting; hair-
ever, when printed, the sentiments and views of these leaders
will be ascertained. For the present, I. have to report, to your
Lordship (according to the Reports made to me), that the tone
of these Gentlemen was manifestly hintible, and much lowered,
compared to that they assumed it the preceding Meeting; it the
same place—so much so, that even an inclination to petition Fir-
dement was expressed. At the close, the Meeting was dissolved,
lam given to understand, that scarcely more than h•/' the
amber of the preCeding Meeting bad assembled at this, and thia
the proportion of wooden was much larger at this than at the
former: it passed. off without the least disturbance Or tumult;.
and they dispersed in the most peaceable and orderly manner,
without insult or affront to any one. I have reason to thin
that such a termination of -this Meeting was foreseen by the
Mayor, founded upon an opinion, that the mass of the popula-
tion within his jurisdiction, is by no means disaffected, nor sedi.'
cloudy disposed; that they are suffering most cruel privatioes
through want of employment—the consequence of stagnation of
trade. But I ant told, that "ware of the cause, they bear heir
bard lot with wonderful patience and resignation: but the very
• eof want of occupation leademany to mike put of
the throog, on occasion of such Meetings, without being parties
in the views of 'the leaders, or participating in their sentiments: •
It will be a happy thing if the seditious and dangerous ka-
page that undoubtedly has been most directly held by these Id-
Meant Orators can be brought home to them; the conviction Of
tasty will be a public good ; but bad as the men may be, and Wen-
tigable in propagating their doctrines, their mischievous spirit do=
not pervade thismantof the population of the West Riding; on the
contrary, from all I can collect, I report with confidence to yoar
lordship, that the peace, tranquillity, and good order of the -•
"Rahn will net be disturbed by these people. I have the honour
to be, my Lord, your Lordship's moat obedient, dtc.
