MR. HUNT:

The following is an extract of a letter received on
Thursday last by the Proprietor of The Manchester
Observer, for insertion in that Paper:
" TO THE BRAVE REFORMERS OF LANCASHIRE,
CHESHIRE, YORKSHIRE, THE WHOLE OF THE
NORTH OF ENGLAND, AND SCOTLAND.
Middleton Cottage, October 19, 1819.
" Afy beard Prins& and Fellow Consetrymen 1
" I know that some of these (spies) are about to urge you to
simultaneous Meetings in the early part of November; but beware,
my friends, and disappoint the tigers of their prey. There are
those who are gone from the Metropolis to Manchester and else-
where for this purpose ; but recol-
lect,.my friends, that, at such a period as the present, an igno-
ranerand indiscreet zeal may produce more mischief than even
an Myer himself.
' I am the last man on earth that would advise you to
refrain from meeting to express your grievances and to de-
mand your rights: nay, I would urge a Meeting in every
County, City, Town, and Parish in the United Kingdom, where
they have not already met, to express their opinions upon the
at Manchester, and to take measures for bringing
the and their abettors to justice. But if any one
has been from London to advise or recommend a Meeting at
Manchester, under the present agitated state of the public mind,
he must be a remorseless fiend indeed. No one will go to such
a Meeting unarmed, after the cowardly
lations which were perpetrated on the 16th; and where is the
man who would advise you to meet armed? I say, my friends
of Manchester, meet not till every effort has been made and
failed to bring to justice the ; and then, and not till then,
will thee be any question whether you ought to meet or not?

Consols for Acct. 67112:-

Very little business has been done this morning.
Consols opened at 67, but afterwards rose to 67k.
The Market looks very heavy, every nerve being
strained by the Bull party to recover yesterday's de-
pression. Nothing has been done in Omnium.

We noticed yesterday the sudden depression which
had taken place in the Funds, in consequence of the
resolution of Ministers to increase the Military Force
of the Country. Being now at peace with all the
world, it was naturally concluded that the augmen-
tation originated in a real or supposed necessity, for
the maintenance of internal tranquillity. Au ad-
dition of 10,000 men is to be made to the Army, by
taking that number from the Out-pensioners of
Chelsea Hospital, and putting them on full pay, un-
der
Officers retired on the Half-pay List, to do duty
in the tiar r 'sons, thereby relieving an equal number
of the Standing Army for whatever services they
may be required. At the same time twenty men per
Company are to be added to the Marine Corps, for
the duty of the Dock-yards, which ill relieve an
equal number of the Military. The whole increase
will thus be 11,600 men.

It is believed, whatever other reasons may have
induced the adoption of this measure, that one motive
has been a desire to separate these Veterans from all
mixture with the Radicals, and to take from them
every temptatioi., to which they might be exposed, to
induce them to assist, either openly or secretly, in
training any who may have treasonable and revolu-
tionary objects in view. If Ministers have any real
grounds for believing that these retired soldiers were
exposed to such a temptation, it may be allowed that
the measure they have adopted is not void of pru-
dence ; and it may also be granted, if an increase of
the military force was indispensible, that the plan
they have adopted for accomplishing this object is
the most economical that could have been devised.
But if the raising of this force is to be substituted fur
an answer to the calls of the Nation to have the Laws
duly administered, and those who may have been, or
may yet be found wicked enough to disregard or
pervert them, England is on the verge of a crisis.

The Public will be surpsised to learn, that at the
same moment that gives birth to the measure we
have just stated, the venerable Earl FtrzwtmAm
has beeen dismissed from the situation of Lord Lieu-
tenant and Custos ltotulorum of the West Riding of
Yorkshire—" fur the leading part which his Lordship
" was induced to take in signing and circulating the,
" Requisition for a Meeting, at this critical period, in',
" a County, of which he was Lord Lieutenant, his
personal attendance at that Meeting, his entirecon-
currence with the Resolutions and Address, and his
" public approbation of all the proceedings."—This
is a measure that needs no comment. We only re-
mark, that if any disgrace attaches to this removal,
it falls not where it was intended. It ought to be
remembered, that the great and sole object of that
Meeting was for legal investigation of a measure that
had excited alarm, and to discountenance all the at-
tempts of those wild and insidious itinerants, who are
striving to delude the people with plans of impracti-
cable and ruinous Reform. The Noble Earl was in-
strumental in calling a Meeting of his Count rto con-
ciliate the population, to still alarm, and to give them
assurance, that Government, by Law, should he pre-
served ; and, for this, the Noble Earl is displaced !

Rumour says, that negociations are on foot for
what is termed " strengthening the hands of Go-
vertnbent," by a Coalition with that party of Peers,
and their few followers in the Commons, whose thirst
of Office is so truly appreciated by the Country ;
and that the only obstacle to a treaty is the scruple
of Lord Livenroot. and his friends, on the point of
Catholic Emancipation. It is supposed that the
will give way on this question, by an ar-
rangement which will satisfy the Noble Persons with
-whom he is negociating, and that the partial change
will take place before the Meeting !—Morning► Chron.

A Couwer-Address is now circulating for signa-
tures in Cumberland. Printed copies are sent from
Lowther Castle to such persons as the Lord of that
mansion thinks he can influeuce. It sets out with a
-laration of attachment to the established institu-
the kingdom ; expresses detestation of the
agues who mislead the multitude, to effect a
ion by force, and Of " the Liberty of the Press,
iy abused to the most flagitious purposes;'
