tiley, however, are known. Every precaution had
been taken by Goiernment, in 'contemplation of a
formidable rint.-' A party of infantry were stationed in
Newgete on Sunday afternoon and during the night.
A party of the Life Guards also did duty in the

be
made to liberate the prisoners. No disorder, however,
of any sort occurred: The Tower, it was also sup-
paced, might possibly enter into the contemplation
id the rioters, and the strictest regulations were ac-
cordingly adopted there. From the hrst opening of
the Tower gates, nielsiires were .taken for the safety
of the Government mous in that fortress, and to repel
-any attack that might he made upon it. No appear-
ance of danger, however, manifested itself in that
quarter until about osie o'clock, when the mob ape
proached the Minories. The drums in the "Power then
beat to arms, the gates were all closed, the drasvi,
bridges raised, and the guns upon the different batte-
ries commanding Tower-hill were all ready to give
the intruders a warm reception.
A message was received by the resident Governor,
Major ELRINOTOR, from the LORD MAYOR, to apprise
him cf the state of affairs in the City, and too much
praise cannot begiven to the Major for the alacrity
and attention which he displayed in his arrangements
for the safety of his important station. He was ably
seconded by the Officers of the Coldstream Regiment
of Guards and 'Royal Artillery, the men of which
were under arms until all alarm had ceased. The
Ordnance labourers were all mustered and equipped
with belts, cartouches, and &clocks, and paraded on
theglaci, All the male inhabitants of the Tower,
ab!e to bear arms, were also in readiness, and no
person was admitted into the place but upon special
business, and after a minute inquiry. About two
o'clock a troop of the 9th Regiment (Lancers) ar-
rived, and the mob had taken another direction.
On the western side of the town, about one o'clock,
a detachment of the Horse Guards, with swords
drawn, passed up the Strand for the City at a quick
pace ; at the same time a detachment of Horse Ar-
tillery, with a 6 pounder, and a regiment of infantry,
marched through St. James's Park, along Westmin-
ster-bridge, and through St. George's-fields, for the
same destination. The rioters had dispersed before
their arrival, but they remained in the City, in various
parts pf which the military were distributed. Parties
of horse and foot were stationed at the Mansion
House, at the Bank, rind at the Exchange. About
five o'clock, however, as darkness came on, the mob
again collected in small flying squadrons, which
traversed the town in various directions. Those
few shops which bad hitherto remained open, as not
being considered of a description likely to attract
the notice of the mob, were shut up, so that the town
presented the appearance of a Sunday evening. Ot
these skirmishing corps, one passed through Holiwell-
street, Strand, where finding the shutters all up to
the shop windows, they broke the glass in the doors,
and in same cases destroyed the wooden pannels.
Among the houses in this street that suffered most is
the Dog Tavern—the lower row of the windows were
broken, and the eatables with the dishes carried off.
Mr. Levi, the clothes salesman, and Mr. Gilbert,'
suffued in like manner in the articles of their trade.,
There is scarcely a street in the west end of the town
through v.hich they passed, that did not suffer more
or le.s. The cook-shops particularly attracted their
notice. Wherever any groUpes of suspicious appear.
ante presented themselves, the military, however,
dispersed them. We are sorry to say, that in this
service one of the Life Guards was severely hurt on
Snow-hill. About Mire o'clock tranquillity was per-
fectly restored in every part of the town, east arid
west ; but the military remained on duty during the
night.
The LORD MAYOR in his personal exertions exceed-
ed all praise. The most active Officer could not keep
pace with him, and it was astonishing to see with
what rapidity he moved from one quarter of danger
or apprehension to the other. It is not a little re.
markable also to state, that during the whole of his
exertions he was unceasingly cheered by the populace.
' his Lordship was ably seconded in his efforts by
Sir JAMES Snaw, Alderman Armes, Sii.W. Corms,
&c. &c. A Committee of Aldermen, the Recorder,
LORD MAYOR. &C. continued to sit at the Mansion
House during the whole of Testerday evening.
The following precautionary Address was phi.
carded at the Mansion-House, and in other parts of
the City :
I e Our S •-reign Lord the King ehargeth *and commardeth
".ill Persons being assembled, to immediately disperse them-
' 0 elves. and peaceably is depart to their habitations, or to their
" lawful business, upon pain of being subject to thy,. Act nude
' in the Reign of George 111. fur preventing riotous assemblies.
" GOD Save the King."
At ten o'clock, the Ward Constables, the Patrols,
and the Marshals, made their reports at the Mansion-
hou-e-4, Ail Quiet." Detachments of the Horse
and Font Gualcii, the 9th Light Infantry, &c. were
still drawn up .bitore the Mansion-house, but there
was no assembly of persons beyond that which the
sight of the poops might occasion.
The most prompt and well-arranged plans were
adopted by the Magistrates of Bow-street, acting un-
der the direction of the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, but ao comaittaJs took place.

At two o'clock yesterday a coach drove to the
Public Office, Bow-street, with two Ladies; one of
them got out, and asked for Mr. BlltNin, the Magis.
trate, to whom she was introduced. She proird to
be Mrs. Mary AMC Claris. On stating her business, the
Magistrate-referred her to ADKINS, the officer ; the
particulars, it will not be prudent to notice at inertia.
She appeared in good health add very lively. She
was dressed in a. cloth pelisse, a dark bike silk bon-
net,
with a. profusion of the most beautiful and arti-
Sciai Rowers—a white lace veil 'over it.
