greatly exaggerated. However they infla
med the minds of the populace, and acts of
outrage were committed, which terminated
IN calling out the military, when the riot act
was read and some shots fired. The let
tiers received this morning from Carlisle
state, that no further disturbance had taken
place.
ne price OF grain was yesterday alluded
to in the House of Commons by Mr.. Cur
wen, the Member for Carlisle to whom the
Minister replied. This is a subject upon
which we never touch ourselves nor see
touched by others without feeling of re-
greet, and we might add, of awe. For we
have rarely, it ever, found any thing but
harm arise from such discussions. The til
mid get alarmed, and the disaffected make
use OF the alarm to agitate the public mind.
and induce the lower classes to believe that
riot and disturbance are the best means of
remedyinS scarcity and restoring plenty.
| Mr. CurWen admits that there is not the
least reason to apprehend any thing like fa>
mine; that there is sufficient grain in the
country, but he wishes it to be properly
managed. He suggests that the 4Ist of the
hhg Shouid be renewed, by which it is
provided that bread shall be made of one
quality-and that two pounds more of the
bran might be left in than is now done after
grinding.
we invite the attention of our readers
| to Mr.. Percevals Speech in the House of
Commons last night upon the Gold Coin
| 5il. He stated, that since the PASSING Of
the Act brought in by Lord Stanhope last
year, the quantity of Paper in circulation
was less. The exchange is much better
not only with Hamburg but with Paris, and
gold at a reduced price-that the excise
revenue for the year ending 5th April inst
was greater than last year, and that the
general produce of the taxes for the wear
ending the 5th April was 81 ,333, OOOl., only
between or 900,000l. less than was tho
year before, Notwithstanding the falling of
the revenue of the customs.
Last night Mr.. Ruff, the Messenger. left
town for Plymouth, where he will embark
for America, with dispatches for Mr. Foster.
