Some short time since, a Petition was prepared
for the purpose of being sent up from Nottingham,
to the COMMANDER-IV•CIIIEF, praying for an altera-
tion in the Dress of the Soldiers, with the hope of re-
viving the. Stocking Manufactory. We have oh
tamed a copy of the answer which the COMNIANDER-
IN-CinEs ordered his Secretary, Sir HENRY TORRENS,
to return Mr. HARRISON, and although we lament
that the objects of the Petitioners cannot be complied
with, yet the earnest .solicitude shown by his Royal
Highness for the distressed state of the trade, .and
the anxiety he has evinced to comply with the prayer
of the Petition, had it been in his power to have done
so, induce us to make this letter known to the Public :
" Horse Guards, 7th Sept. 1519.
'I Me Dees Hartaisow-1 did not fail to lay before the Com-
n--ander-in-Chief your letter of the 33d ultimo, with in enclo-
•si:re from Mr. Allsopp, transmitting a Petition limn the Mer-
chants,. Manufacturers, and Tradesmen of Nottingham, praying
that an altelition might take place in the dress of the s.lldiers,
calculated to aid the revival of the Stocking Manufactory of that
town sad county.
" His Royal Highness felt his attention and inclinations so
strongly called forth towards the latere,ting Ca' C of the Peti-
t.tioners, that he desired an answer to be deferred until he souk;
take the subject into fall coreideration. And I am now com-
manded to assure ye-a, that it i, with ;;rent regret no} al
Highness finds himself preclude') front t ev.,rting to the further
mode of dressing the (ricers ai.d Soldiers in stockings and short
' gaiters, which were discontinued front an experience of their
discomfort and inconvenience, and they could not be again
adopted without great entbarras.ment to the service in several
points, which it is unnecessary to detail.
" The circumstances under *hlah this request is made, are
so strong, that if his Royal Highness could have acceded to it,
it would have afforded him great 52tiii action.

hustings ; but in a little time took their station at that
part of the Market-place by which they had entered:
Upon art iving at the Exchange, the MAYOR, and
the Gentlemen by whom he was accompanied, were
warmly greeted.
The MAYOR, (Isaac Woolley, Esq.) having ob•
served that he had received a Requisition, which he
felt it his duty to comply with. requested the Town
Clerk to read the same: that being done,
Mr. THOMAS WA KtFIELD addressed the Meeting,
amidst considerable cheeting-. Before proceeding t 6
the immediate business of the day, he thought it
right, he said, as the organ of the Committee, to read
to theirs two letters vihich had been received ; one
from their Representative, Mr. Birch, and another
from Mr. Denman, M.P.—(Hear). He would Erse
mention that, as to their own Members, the letter of
Mr. Birch would explain the reason of his a'asence;
but Lord Rancliffe was there to answer for himself--t
(Great cheeriv). On the 2`2d of September, a note
had been addressed to Mr. Carr, the Secretary to the
CoMmittee, from Mr. Birch, dated Batton, in which
he requested that the Committee might be infmnit;,l
that he felt it a point of duty to attend at Notting;
bans on the present occasion. Unfortunately,' the
second letter from the same quarter, which he should
now read, would shew that their Member had beeii
disappointed. It was as follows:
" Buxton, Saturday morning.
" Data Sra—By a letter which has just got to my hands; I
am informed of circumstances which require my immediate re-
turn to Lancaster.
" This unexpected call not only frustrates the ob jeer for whirls
I came to this place, but prevents me also from fulfilling the
promise I made your Committee to attend the Meeting on Mori-
day, for taking into con-ideration the melancholy and disgrace-
ful events which have lately occurred at Manchester.
Were it in my power tube present at the Meeting, I should
feel it my duty, as much as it is my wish, to make my consti-
tuent; fully acquainted with my opinion antl feelings regarding
those transactions, which have called forth almost the universal
reprobation of the country.
" From evety report hitherto given of them, nothing appears
to justify the grounds, or to ',hew the pretext whereon Ministers
have thought fit to convey the approbation of the Prince R.
gent to the Magistrates and Yeomanry, for their conduct upon
that commission. Let us therefore hope, that notwithstandint
such praise (in my opinion prematurely and unworthily be-
stowed,) those persons will speedily be brought to answer,
through the laws of their country, for violating, as they did, the
peopk's constitutional right, and disregarding all the better fed.
ings of humanity.
" I write in *eat haste, and can only add my request, that yak
will lay this letter before the Committee; being very respect&
fully, dear Sir, their and your murk obliged and very humble
, set vant, (Signed) " Jones' Mace.
" Mr. J. Cali., Secretary to the Committee."
The letter from Mi. DEN MAN, was dated Mossford
1.0.1ge, tinned, September <.2oth, 1819; it expressed his
entire concurrence in the feeling in which the Requi-
sition for this Meeting had been drawn up, but sug.
gested, that as in that paper the proposed Meeting
kid been de,erihed as of the Inhabitants of Notting•
ham, and so characterised also in the Summons issued
by their respectable Magistrate, it would be imptoper
for him to attend, but chat it was for this reason
alone he must abstain from joining their Assembly.”
Mr. WAIIOI EL D then -retharked, that it was not
his intention to have come forward on The present
occasion ; but that no other person who had signed
the Requisition having been prevailed on to do so, hak
had felt it his duty to set the; example—(Cheers)•—,
lie also felt himself bound, as one of the Requisi4
tionists, to mato the reasons which had induced hint
to join those Gentlemen in condemning the conduct
of the Manchester Yeomanry and Magistracy. In the
mean time, he entreated them to act with calmness
and moderation ; to consider the subject with atten-
tion and impal tiality ; and he was sure they word&
come to the same conclusion upon it. Violencenever
could do agood cause any benelit, but it mightde it
a great deal of harm. Now their's was a good cant
—(Cheers). They were met in support of public:
principle and of political liberty ; all of which had
been shamefully violated in the daring dispersion of
the Meeting in question by the. Manchester Magi,-
trates, and by the cruel and inhuman manner in vs hich
their determination was carried into effect by the
Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry—(,Shame!). The
subject naturally divided it,elf into two heads: firstly,
the violation of the constitutional right of reasons
meet in public for the common and free discussion,
and consideration of public grievances, and
for their redress: secondly, the blow struc,
the Constitution by the proceeding allut
was one of that nature that the COnn
would have bees equally violated by
14..onia»ry Cavalry acted with j marl
