We this day publish detailed account OF
4 the proceedings of tumultuous meeting in
Scotland. The hostility Of the British re-
formists has hitherto been eyinced only in
England but the contagion appears to be
spreading, and may produce the most serious
consequences, if not seasonably checked by
mild and conciiatory measures. On the
18th September, an address was presented
to the Prince Regent, on the subject OF the
late transactions at Manchester. The Prince
replied, that :" to institute an inquiry under
such circumstances as the present, would be
manifestly inconsistent with the clearest
principles of public Justice" The Courier,
"a ministerial paper) in noticing the recep-
: ton OF the address, says, We rejoice I'M
feignedly at this severe rebuke, for never, in
our most solemn judgment. was an address
offered to the Sovereign Of these realms un-
der circumstances, which more imperIously
called for such an answer" Ii is in this way
that the feelings of thousands of the suffering
AID starving subjects oil Great Britain are
sported with. Our readers can form for
themselves the probable consequences which
such state Of things must lead to.

To the Public.

4 n unusual sensinilily has been excited
~ in the minds OF our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
of Independence recently published, &C
companied by fac Smiles Of the signatures
of those illustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced to the world. We feel, while
we dwell on those signatures, as ii we were
ushereh into the immediate presence OF
characters so'exalled, and we seem for a
time 10 participate in all The emotion which
they felt on the approach Of so awful cri-
sis-Hostie armies, desolate fields, towns
and cities in coniiagr ation-carnage and
death-in its most iriehtiul forms appeared in
prophetic vision on the one hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery were presented for their ac-
ceptance on the other; they de!iberated,
they paused, they trembled, and at last So
lemnly appealing to The God of battles,
they resolved that the United States were
and ought to be free, sovereign and inde-
pendent. These illustrious patriots, with
five solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould-they survive only
in thoir country's glory and in the recollec-
ton OF a grateful people,. But it would be
consoling to the present generation, scpa-
rated as they now are from those patriots,
by the Intervention Of the tomb, to become
more intimately acquainted with their re-
evolutionary benefactors. We love to dwell
on the features OF such men, snatched by
the pencil from the Oblivion of the grave,
and emulate the prominent feats of their
biography. Impressed with these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, if suitable encourage
ment is given, TO publish the lives of those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is COM
ple.ed. The work Will he exec0ted in a
style not inferior to any European produc-
tons, and the portraits by masters of &C.
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Alien, esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose famj-
liarity with the privations and hardships
they had to undergo. and whose we'll known
talents will be sufficient to ensure the pa
tronage OF an enlightened people. In the
execution of this work, all that the pub
Usher dares to promise is, that ne will en-
deavor to deserve the confidence Of his
countrymen, and that no exerlion on his
part will be wanting to prevent an abuse
of that confidence. He ventures to solicit
the assistance of those gentlemen in pos
session OF authentic facts and anecdotes, by
communicating the intelligence that will
serve to illustrate the chaGacters aud to en-
rich the biography of those founders OF the
American Republic.-4Aose who are in
possession of their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by loan of the same.
A prospectus with the terms will be given
in few days.
