PRIVATE LETTER.

" BLACKBURN, SEPTEMBER 17.
" I am sorry to inform you that the differences
between the operative weavers 'and thsis employers
in this neighbourhood, so far from being settled, have
assumed a more alarming appearance. The men
have, as a body, struck work, and are following the
example that was set them by the Manchester Spin-
ners—parading the streets in great numbers. Up
to this period they have not committed any real
acts of violence, and they declare that they will
not; hut, that they are determined to have an in-
crease, otherwise the work must remain undone.—
Of course all business is entirely at a stand, and we
arc under some apprehensions that serious mischief
.may follow—a natural consequence of working people
going idle and parading in large bodies; especially
when goaded on by real or supposed grievances ; and
perhaps stimulated by turbulent individuals. It is
strongly hoped that an amicable arrangement will
'be effected before long, but, in the mean time, for
the maintenance of public peace, a message has been
sent to Manchester, entreating that an armed force
may be sent to this place without delay."

“ CHESTER, SEPT. 18.

" Baguley, Drummond, and Johnson, still remain
in our county jail, not one of them having sufficient
interest to raise the bail required by the Court. Drum-
mond and Johnson are from Manchester ; the former
a reed-maker, the latter a tailor. This county has
the honour of having within its limits the domicile
of Baguley—he formerly taught the young idea how
to shoot,' at Stockport."
" This week were received into custody at our
Castle, Thomas Bibby, from Stockport, charged with
swearing to a felony committed by Robert Fox (for
throwing stones at Mr. HARRISON, the Magistrate),
and afterwards absenting himself at Fox's trial, and
assisting him with information, which is a misprision
of felony and contrary to law. Bibby is committed,
for want of bail, to answer the charge nett Assize.
"Thomas Barnett, from Stockport, has also been corn-
mitted for want of bail, for conspiracy. He is one
of the dealers and copartners with Temple, Gough,
Swindells, and Boulton, who, like the other friends
of the people,' Baguley, Drummond, and Johnson,
are still languishing in prison.—(Since writing the
above, we hear that Swindells has obtained bail, him-
self in £2OO, and two sureties in £lOO each.")

A Mail from Hamburgh arrived last night with
Papers to the Bth instant. The principal contents of
them will be found in a preceding column.
In the interior provinces of New Grenada, a num-
ber of parties of Patriots have sprung up in formi-
dable bodies, who have penetrated to the out-skirts
of the capital of Santa Fe de Bogota. The Royalists
discovtired and seized a number of emissaries or spies,
who communicated with the Patriots, and among
them a woman named POLICARPA SELARARRIET,
born in the town of Gmachias by means of whom
plans and instructions to invade the capital were
transmitted to the Patriots. In spite of all the threats
and tortures which were inflicted on her, to make her
reveal the authors of these documents, found in het
possession, she persisted in secrecy to the 11+4 and

of General JACKSON, he effected his escape to the
Havannah, when Sir JAMES YEO was induced to give
him a passage to England, that he might lay the
grievances of his countrymen before the British Go-

since his arrival. _ _
