Copy of a Letter from G. B. Gazattouon, Esq,
Lieutenant of rite Light Horse Volunteers of London
and Westminster, to Colonel BOSANQUET, the Corn•
mander of the Corps:

Oct: 180819.

" MAL explanation of the motives which induce me
to trouble you with this letter, I beg to refer you to two docu-
ments, both of them but too notorious, the one a letter from
Lord Sidrnouth, his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home
Department, conveying the Thanks of the Prince Regent to the
Magistrates of Manchester, for their conduct on the 16th of
August last ; the other a Declaration of the Lord Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of London, congratulating the lovers of
social order on the dignified posture of vigour and resolution
which the several Authorities throughout the country are j.
sumii.g, at a period when an unexampled abuse of magisterial
authority is, from one end of the Kingd an to the other, a tope
either of regret or alarm. These two documents have drprivtd
me of that assurance which is obviously indispensable to every
honest man who allows his name to continue on the roll of tte
Light Horse Volunteers, an assurance that he will not be calls d
upon, as a Member of that Corps, to endanger or destroy the
lives of the smarmed, the innocent, the unsuspecting, menb
women, and children—fellow-subjects, friends, and neighbours.
In loyalty to the King, in attachment to the onstitution, in a
desire to counteract, by all legal means, the machinations of
those bad men who wilfully impute the distress of the poor tie
false causes, in order to give effect to their recommendation tf
desperate remedies, I yield to no man, either in the Cabinet or
in the Court of Aldermen, but I cannot consent to serve any
longer in a Corps, in which the only security I have for lac'
bsing engaged in civil warfare, is the discretion and temper of
the Ministers who advised such Thanks, and the Magistrates
who framed such a Declaration ! With these sentiments, I beg
the favour of you to take whatever steps may be necessary to
enable me to resign the Commi.sion which I have the honour to
hold in the Regiment under your command. I request also
that you will have the goodness to communicate my resignation
to the Committee in any way which, under the circumstances,
you may deem expedient. To yourself, your brother Officers,
and the Regiment at large, I am anxious to express, on this oc-
casion, what I have always entertained—a strong feeling of at.
:ach:e-m. I leave you all with regret, and with sincere wishes
that my apprehnsions may bts vain, and your prosperity perma.
neat.-1 tLe honour to be, dear Sir, your obedient faithful
t:.rvant, " G. B. UREKNOUGH."
Extract of another Letter to Colonel BosAtvciort
from Lieutenant GREENOUGII, dated London, No-
vember 2, 1819 :
" I beg leave then, with every feeling of respeet, both to.
wards you and the Corps under your command, to repeat the
request contained in my former letter, but, I am concerned to
say, with ore mod:fteation. When that letter was written, I
desired only that ti e rantivesn,hich induced me to resign should
be known to you. I ant now (11:Oreue that they should be made
known to the Committee. The dismissal of Lord Fitzwilliam
from the Lord Ideutenansy of the West Riding of Yorkshire,
for having promoted an inquiry into the unconstitutional pro.
eeedings at Manchester, and an addition of 10,000 then to the
Regular Army, for the purpose of intimidating the people, are
circumstances which require that the motives of my resign:don
should be distinctly avowed. The day is come, when the friends
of a free Government must speak out, unless they mean to be
silenced for ever. " I remain, &c.
" G. 8. GREENOUGH."
