• '11111PM)LD PUBLIC MEETING. 1
AT a v ery Numerous and Respectable PUBLIC
MEETING of the Town and Neighbourhood of Shef-
field, and its Vicinity,

.SAMUEL SHORE, Esq. Chairman,
The following Resolutions wore passed unanimously
1. That by the true Principles of the Constitution, It is the
toalienable Right of Englishmen to assemble together for the
purpose of deliberating upon, and discussing their Grievances,
and on the legal and constitutional means of obtaining redress;
and, that the unrestricted exercise of this right is essential to
the protection of the just Liberty of the People.
2. That during the exercise of this right, which, as far as ap-
pears to us, was canducted legally and peaceaily, an assembly of
the Peopl: at Manchestet, on the 16th of August, instead of
being protected from Violence, by the 3laglitracy, was attacked
and dispersed by a Military Force; whereby much injury was
done, gnat numbers of the People were wounded, and several
deaths occasioned.

3. That the very aflicting, and apparently atrocious transac-
tions at anchester, have been much aggrav-ted by the hasty
sad precipitate manner in which the Ministers of the Crown
have identified themselves with the directors and actors in these
most unexampled and distressint scenes, by prejudging what has
thus occuir d, AIM by advising the Prince Regent to give his
sanction to deeds which may, on thorough enquiry, prove to de'
serve his entire reprobation.
_ .

4. That this seemingly impolitic, unwise, and unjust measure
of the Ministers of the Crown, as well as the unhappy proceed-
ings at Manchester, require that the People of this Country
should assemble, and peaceably and firmly demand an inquiry
into these unparalleled and revolting events.
5. That from the delay and suspension of inquiry which have
since taken place, it appears evident that no effectual investiga-
tion is likely to be instituted, unless called for by the concurrent
voice of the People lawfully and peaceably exerted.
6. That this Meeting do therefore give its full concurrence to
the Resalutions of the late Meeting for the County of York,
and the sentiments of the Address there agreed upon to the
Prince Regent, for a full and impartial examination into the
proceedings at Manchester, on the 16th of August ; and that if
the Laws have been violated, justice may be visited upon those
who, upon such an investigation, may be found to have infringed
the Constitutional Rights of the People, whatever may be their
rank or station. SAMUEL. SHORE, Chairman.
7. On the motion of Lord Milton, the Thanks of the Meeting
were given to the Chairman.

His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased, in
the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, to approve of the
63d Regiment of Foot hang permitted to bear on its Cot6urs
and Appeeintments, in addition to any other badgeCor devices
which newt have heretofore been granted to the Regiment, the

of the. distinguished gallantry displayed by the Regiment in the
descent upon the Island of blartinique' in the month of Fe-
bruary iBO9, and in the attack upon the Island of Guadeloupe,
in the month of February 1610.
