The Conspiracy detected at Manchester forms a

subject of my general conversation, but, if we may
judge from the price of the Funds, bas created little
or an alarm in the Metropolis.
The eight prisoners, John Rants, Jame, Sellers,
)VerA.Thattoot, Eitu. awser,Rok. Kirfrou, for. ileiky.
Jahn Loorasjire, and Sexual Brandforil, who were
brought in custody from Manchester by the Tra-
yeller Coach on Monday, were lodged in the
Brown Bear public house in Bow-strret, in separate
1 rooms, each pi them having a Police Constable to
guard them. They had every accommodation the
nature of the charges against them would admit of,
both on the road, and during their short stay in the
house. A hide before two o'clock yesterday they
were removed in four hackney coaches, guarded by
the King's Messengers and Police Officers, to the
Secret iry of State's Office for the Home Department,
where they underwent examination before the Noble
Secretary, the ',OLD CHANCELLOR, the Law Officers,
Sr NATHANIEL CON ANT, and others ot the Police
Magistrates. At half-past four o'clock they were
sent from the Secretary of State's Office in folly
coaches, in the custody ot the same persons who coo.;
ducted them to the Office.

Nothing has been suffered to transpire respecting
what came out on the examination of these persons;
an.!, in fact, little is certainly known, even in Man-
chester, respecting the real plans and designs of the
conspirators. All the accounts agree that their pro-
jects were desperate; but the accounts which we have
seen differ widely as to the causesand ultimate objects.
Some of the letters which we have seen describe the
Irrita:ion of the people, whose intended mischief has
been happily prevented, as having no political pur-
pose or abject in view—as having no connection with
she mad projects of the Spenceans or the Reform
system oitbe Spa-fields Orators ; bat as being found-
ed en wrongs. imaginary or real, supposed to be
beard wpou them by their employers, in not pay_
inn awns a fair remuneration for their labour.,
ja a w, rd. some M the accounts ascribe all the dig.
commits to the km pries of labour. and the extreme •

distress endure 3 by people bat ill qualified to 61setiabl•
n .te, and to judge correctly r •:petting the causes of
their sufferings, and the means best sakalated to af-
ford them relief.

But all the letters which we bare seen, down to
those of yesterday, admit, that there were but tdo just
grounds to apprehend that the plans of some despe-
rate individuals among the discontented were of a
most diabolical description, and, but for the timeous
exertions of Lord Su:mount and the Magistrates,
might have produced the most lamentahle results.

From the facts stated in some of oar letters we
should imagine, whatever be the degree of guilt
that attaches to the individuals in custody, or others
still at large, that Ministers will be convinced of the
absolute necessity of attempting something for the
relitfof the people, who are exposed to every tempta-
tion of the designing by the pressure of their present
distress.—Employment is the first thing required;
and, at the present moment, every suggestion calcu-
lated to effect this desideratum, is entitled to early
and deep consideration.—The cotton yarns spun in
this country have been and still continue to be ex-
ported to other countries where our piece-goods are
prohibited, or loaded with duties which amount to a
prohibition :—For what purpose ? To encourage
the manufactures of these countries I And what do
they, so denominate ?—Neither more nor less than ,
the. amorist: of &Ili:A prim into cloths.
The subject, we are aware, involves many impor-
tant considerations—unfortunately a great deal too
Maly. Witness the mighty destruction with which
one of our first manufacturing towns has been now
threatened.—Whatever steps may be necessary to
guard against the machinations of those wicked indi-
viduals who would. in t •••*r blind fury, involve their
employers and themselves in one common ruin,
Sound policy demands that wise and politic measures
calculated to reach the root of the evil, should In-
stantly be resotted tn.—Nor are we without hopes
that Ministers have fo- some time been deliberating
on this subject, and that ere long some measure of the
kind we have suggested will be proposed in Par-
liament.

The following detail of the events that have taken
place, is copied irJII3 the Manchester .Exckange Herald
of yesterday :

" MANCHESTER, APRIL 1.

" Until Friday last, the information which the
Magistrates had received rested in themselves and hi:,
Majesty's Ministers, to whom they had communi-
cated it. The diabolical plot which they discovered
being then about to burst, and having taken every
possible precaution to repel, or rather to prevent the
threatening storm, they published that day the De.'
claration which appeared in the STAR of Monday.—
It is easy to imagine the consternation of the loyal',
and peaceably disposed inhabitants of these towns on
reading the important document ; bur, alarming as
was the public notification of the danger which bad'
hovered over ns, the detail of the black design is still
more appalling.
" From the 10th of March, when the amid Ex.
pali►k. was defeated, the design now happily frus-
trated, first chewed itself. It is a fact, too well au-
thenticated to be doubted, that Meetings of Delegates
from &dant towns and districts have met secretly to
discuss the means of carrying their horrid measures
into effect. The subsequent capture of the Delegates
in council assembled, on Friday afternoon. has fur.
nished the proof. It appears they had previously as-
sembled at the Royal Oak. in Downing-street, AM-
wick, whence they adjourned. to the George and
Dragon. at Ardwict, where, about five o'clock, they
were secured.

Of the means by which the. horrid treason was
discovered we pretend not to speak; but the inten-
tion of the conspirators, and the plan of destruction.
we can state with confidence, to have been a conjunc-
tive consolidation of the disaffected from the neigh-
bouring districts, last Sunday night, when, on the
arrival of the several detachments of men bent on re-
bellion, at the several entrances into the town, they
were to halt till, at one o'clock, by a rocket to be
fired, the signal bhould be given for the whole to
make the best of their way to the ground which they
had prevunsly occupied, near St. Peter's Church,
where the leading conspirators, resident in Manches-
ter, were to be assembled in readiness; for it was
agreed, that from two to three thousand persons
would be sufficient to begin the operation, although
they calculated on being joined by forty or fifty thou-
I sand before day-light.
" From the backfield, the midnight muster was
Ito be put in motion by divisions, and attacks were to
have been simultaneously made on the Barrack, the
New Bailey Prison, the Police-Office, the Banks,
and other Public Offices, on all places where arms
were likely to be found, and on the private houses of
every Gentleman who had become obnoeioos to them
by adhering to their duty as men, as conscientious
Magistrates and Qfficers, and as genuine Patriots.—
In short, a complete Rebellion over Order...a Civil
War—was anticipated.

“ The Paper published and placarded by order of
the Magistrates (see the STAR of Monday), informed
our Readers of the first precautionary measures. We
shall now lay before them such particulars of subse►
grunt Avon:stances as we can vouch for;

" On Tuesday evening the important facts they
afterwards published. wery laid by the MagistraCy
and Polies Wore a number of Gentlemen of the Arm
eonsideratioi is this town gni ieighbottrbood, Who,

!odd NI brit etpress their satisfaction At the silence
which had been so properly observed till every pos-
sible provision of prevention was taken to make sure
of the seisure of the Delegates, whose (netting, from
different places, was to take place on Friday, at Ard-
wick. One of the Deputies was resident in Derby.
shire, and had repeatedly been sent on missions from
this town to some of the other largest manufacturing
towns in the Kingdom, intended, like Manchester, to
partake of the fraternal embrace.
" During Friday night, and on Saturday, the Ma-
gistrates and Police continued on the alert. In ad-
dition to the eleven Deputies already mentioned, se-
veral other persons were apprehended. The locks
were taken from the fowling-pieces in the gunsmiths'
shops, and the gunpowder in the hands of the dealers,
was removed to a place of security ; while the whole
military force which could be spared, within marc'i-
ing distance, was added to the troc.pi AreAdy here.
In the course of Saturday night eight of the prisoners
were sent off to London, secured by fetters, and well
guarded.
" On Sunday a strong detachment of the Bth Re-
giment of root cause from Warrington in boats : the
Cheshire Yeomanry also hastened to the post of dan-
ger. The skh Foot, and the Ist Dragoon Guards,
were also on active service, the whole under the com-
mand of the Commander of the District, Lieutenant-
General Sir Joints Birno. In the evening of Sunday,
Mr. NAuns set eft post for Sowerby, in Yorkshire,
where he secured Kosigla, one of the leaders of the
self-named Reformers, and about four o'clock yester-
day morning lodged him in the. New Bailey Prison.
" The providential discovery of the horrid plot
prevented its execution. The wretched contrivers
who escaped the officers of justice, hid themselves
from observation ; and though upwards of one thou-
sand Constables paraded the streets during the night,
and the infantry were on guard io different points,
and the cavalry traversing the outlets of the town ;
Sunday night passed over without any serious alarm.
"Inctontattv.—About two o'clock yesterday morn-
ing a gun, or pistol, was fired by some villain into
the window of the bed-chamber in which the drugh
ters of Mr. H. Boneless, of Spring-fi:ld, Salford,
sleep—the slugs or balls broke several panes in the
window, but, providentially, neither of the young
ladies custained any injury.
" Mr. Bunoess immediately arose and joined his
watchman, who had been pursuing a man whom he
found on the premises, immediately after the report
of the shot was heard, hut unfortunately the villain
escaped. He is described to have been well dressed,
to have worn a dark or black coloured coat, light
coloured breeches, and boots with light coloured tops.
He appeared to know the premises perfectly, for he.
escaped through one of the dye-houses by the side of
the river, and thence through Battye's Croft, through.
which he escaped."

BRIGHTtAI, APRIL I.

ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE REGENT.

The Palace Ream., accompanied by Sir BENJA•
MI/S BLOOMFIELD, arrived at the Pavilion soon after

Privy Council, proclaiming some Baronies in the
County of Kildare, and two in the County of Tippe-
rary, as irra disturbed state.
The contract made for bread, by the officers and
workmen of Chatham Dock-yard, has had the effect
of towering the price of that indispensable article as
much as 2d. per gallon, throughout the whole of that
neighbourhood. -
By a paper laid on the table of the House of Com-
mons, it appears that no less a sum than. dt15,383.
71. Id. was due from the tenants of the estates be-
longing to Greenwich Hospital, for arrears of rent,
for the year ending the 21st of November, 1816.

lead and silver raised from the estates of the Hospital,
in the counties et Northumberland, Cumberland, and'
Durham, sold and unpaid for, on the 21st of Novem-
ber, 1818,ununutted to 025,101 101.
