OUTRAG,E AT OLDIIA,IL

On the above subject, the following letter from
Major Mon RISON to Sir JAMES LYON, has been trans•
mitted t• us, and which we readily insert:

MAJOR MORRISON TO SIR JAMES LYON.

" Oldham, 26th April, 1820.

" Sta--I regret to state that a disturbance took place lit re
yesterday, under the following circumstances:
" Five privates of the 7th Dragoon Guards were at the Rollie
head public-house between the hours of five and six u'c'uck in
the afternoon, when some men, who were drinking in the same
room, commenced singing disloyal songs, giviug disloyal toasts,
throwing about the beet, which fell en the soldiers, and further
conducting themselves in a manner the most likely to incur their
displeasure—but instead of resenting those acts in the way the
disaffected expected, t'ae soldiers rose, and were proceeding intu
another room to avoid such annoyance, when they were imme-
diately att.cked by numbers, with every weapon they could get
hold of, and were so rapidly assisted by others from other Nib -
Ik-houses, that I have no doubt it was a pre-concerted plan
against the military, the more especially as a person mentioned
to a Dragoon about five hours previoosly, that the soldiers would
suffer in the course of the evening for what bad occurred at the
White Horse public-house tit! preceding eveleing, and whic's
originated much in the same manner as the outrage of yesterda.
I w-s not here when the disturbance took place, but on my .0-
rival soon after, I found that every exertion had been made by
Cornet Wright and Troep Quarter-Master Polity, assisted by
Captain Chippendale, to repress the tumult, and the military
were soon In their respective bas racks.—A Corporal of the 7th
Dragoon •Guards who had proceeded to the spot during the
height of the affray, with a file of the guard, to bring away the
Dragoons, received a wound in the forehead from one of the
assailants, who was armed with a carving knife : three of the
privates lave experienced some injury, and several persons of
the town have, I upderstand, also suffered, but not any of them,
that I have been Ilble to ascertain, are in a dangerous state.—
I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
" W. M. MORRISON, Maj. and Capt.7th Drag. Guards."
We have also .received a copy of a Petition from
certain inhabitants of Oldham, to the House of Com-
mons, praying for inquiry and exemplary punishment
upon the offenders, which is numerously signed. The
Petition states, in substance, the same facts as those
which appeared iR our Paper last week, and imputes
the whole blame to the military. It is not our busi-
ness to reconcile these conflicting accounts, but we
hope that the matter will speedily undergo either a
parliamentary or a judicial investigation. One of
our Correspondents says, I, This case, as far as I can
learn, has not been heard by any Lancashire Magis-
trate, and probably never will, for reasons that it is
quite unnecessary to state."—Leeds Mire:try.
