Of his Minister Of interior gave rise
to it.
The reported journey of the princess
of Wales to England was a sheer hoax.
She has lately ordered many goods and
furniture to be sent to her in Italy; and,
among other things, set of state har-
ness for ten horses, which have been
completed, and are ready to be shipped.
Letters from Liverpool, dated Sep
TENDER IL, received by the Euphrates
in New York, state that report of war
between England and some foreign pow
er prevailed in that city; that America
was probably the foreign power alluded
to; that England could not permit Spain
to cede Florida to US, but must defend
the transatlantic possessions OF Spain for
her; that many continental powers are
bent upon supporting Spain, if necessa-
ry, against America; that they deem it
polite to check the rapidly growing pow
er of North America; that the public
and private credit of the United States
would prevent US from engaging in war
with any prospect OF success; that press
warrants were anticipated in London in
10 or 10 days; and that all the govern
ment packets at Falmouth had been sud-
denly ordered TO sea. Our readers can
take these rumors for what they are
worth.-Frank. Gag.
HUNTS LETTER TO MR.. WEST.
Smedley-coaage, .Manchester,
Tuesday morning.
My DEAR WEsT-I returned here
yesterday, after having been absent just
fortnight, the jealous reformers Of Boil
ton having drawn the carriage the whole
way IL miles, Notwithstanding the rain
fell in torrents. The public expression
of congratulation as l passed through
Manchester was such as might very ma
turally have been expected; the petty
vindictive folly of the worthy Quorum
proved that their malignant revenge was
doomed to be of very short duration, and
the exhibiting me through this country,
81 miles, under military escort, has
produced an effect exactly the reverse
ofthat which the impotent rage and folly
Ioftl,ia hsinab.e iunto anticipated. | shall
not suffer the grass to grow under my
feet-I start with Mr.. Pearson either this
evening or tomorrow morning for Lam
caster, that we may reach that town to
hear the names of the grand jury called
over in court before they are sworn; and
if there be the least semblance of law
left in the land, we shall prevent any of
that notorious quorum who sent the yeo-
many cavalry amongst peaceable null.
titude to butcher unoffending men, wo-
men, and children, from taking their
seats as grand iurymen, as bills of in
dictment for murder, and the capital
offence of cutting and manning, with in
tent to kill, under lord Ellenborough's
act, will be preferred against certain per-
sons, of whose guilt or innocence these
gentlemen would be the least likely to be
impartial judges.
Mr. Pearson and sir Charles Wolseley
have been indefatigable in procuring evil
dence, and assisting the wounded, &c.
l saw list of $50 last evening who have
received wounds, and the majority of
them from sharp keen cutting sabres. l
saw one man with his shoulder blade cut
in two; another with the heshy part of
his arm, just below the shoulder, with a
wound seven inches long, cut SO deep as
to injure the bone materially, several
splinters having been extracted. One
poor woman has her left breast taken
clear off, leaving her ribs bare. One
man with his nose off; one with his ear
cut off close to his head (which he actually
picked up and carried home in his pock-
ct. l have not the least doubt but there
are 200 persons, men, women and chill
dren, who have received various sabre
wounds. l myself had slight cut in
my head, and having received several
chops upon my hat,I haveexaminedit this
morning, and find there are two cuts
quite through it: the swords must have
been as sharp as razors.
MIR. Pearson has given notice to the
commanding and other officers of the
yeomanry, as well as the magistrates, to
have muster, that some of them may
be identified. But as this district is un-
der martial law, of course they paid no
attention to it. Mr.. Pearson went to see
a man yesterday who had both his shout
-ders and one elbow dislocated, and three
bad sabre wounds, most of which he re-
