ter crowd upon US to such degree that we
find considerable difficulty in giving inser.
ton 10 them. Yesterday we gave report
OF the meetings at Leeds, and of the ward Of
Warrington Without, in this city and to
day we give reports of the meetings of the
borough OF Southwark, of the ward of Bish-
opsgate held yesterday, and of the city of
York held on Monday last. This is as it
should be, and as we all along were conf
dent would be. We knew our countrymen
too well TO doubt for a moment, either the
nature o: the feelings with which they view
ed the Manchester outrages or their courage
to give expressions to these feelings. When
the Courier tauntingly told US, that about
thirty people only, throughout all England,
Scotland, and Ireland would raise their voice
against these outrages, we answered him that
this taunt would soon be thrown back in his
teeth with 6erision Indeed the simultane-
Gus burst OF Indignation from the press of the
country, on the first receipt of the affecting
news, could leave little doubt as to the state
of the public feeling, and such declaration
after this pretty unequivocal indication, was
certainly proof either Of very astonishing
blindness, or very astonishing assurance.
At York, or 5000 people paraded the
streets with banners and music, and march
ed in procession six breast, or in the ye-
cabulary of the Manchester authorities and
the treasury prints, in military array. And
yet, notwithstanding all these formidable
appearances, the Lord mayor Of York told
the meeting that he had not placed single
constable in attendance, nor sworn in an add
dtional special constable. This constitu-
tional magistrate said, he had always seen
the greatest order prevalent in the city, and
he did not chose to libel the people by an
ticipating from them conduct different from
any thing be had ever yet seen. He has e.

From the Boston Centinei.


The Indignation which the event has occa-
stoned, and the incorrect manner in which 1t
has been narrated, have induced inquiries
which have resulted in the following facts,
which we publish on the best authority.
Captain Smith, in the Macedonian, trad
ing at Lima, sold and delivered his cargo to
the PHILIPPINE Company, before that port was
declared 10 be in state of blockade and
when the blockade was made by Lord Cocb-
rane, this vessel, with the other neutral yes
sells there, went round to the little port of
Guermez, about 70 leagues north of Lima,
being the port designated by Lord c. him
self. Captain Smith, while on his way from
Lima to Guermez, by land, with $4,000
dollars, the proceeds Of his cargo, was in
tercepted, robbed of the money by Lord T..
and taken on board his ship, where he was
held close prisoner and where, after haV-
ing repeatedly declared that it was wholly
American property, he was compelled by
Lord c. to sign a certificate that it was on
Spanish accouni.-After which Capt. S. was
released, and Immediately protested against
these piratieal proceedings; ana transmitted
mis- protest, with the necessary documents
proving that the property was bona ide A
merican, and the actual proceeds OF the car.
go taken from Boston, to Mr.. Hill, the Vice
Consul at Valparaiso.
A statement OF this daring transaction, we
learn, has been sent on TO Washington and
it is not hazarding much TO predict, that the
demand OF this plundered property will be
made by naval accompaniment, which will
insure its restitution; or be followed by the
capture OF the freebooter for what but free
hooters would take property in this manner
and divide it without adjudication who has
robbed our countrymen of it; at the same
time affordlng the needed protection TO our
rich Whalemen in the South Sea.
