Late Riot im this CITY.

"We have heard of the disgraceful riot and the
rescue of prisoner from the hands Of tho law,
which took place in Boston on the 18TH. procla-
nation will issue to-day, calling on all good cit
zens Of the United States military and civil TO aid
the marshal in the execution Of his duties, and an
armed force to 60 to his assistance when Il shall be
properly certified to be necessary, and directing
the law officers of the Government to cause those
concerned in the offence perpetrated to be imme-
dacly arrested, that they may be brought to trial
and punishment"
We are happy TO learn from the above that mea-
are about to be taken to prevent repetition
law ~ Of the United States has been for second
time resisted in this city by the invasion of the
court room Of the United States itself, while occu
pied in the examination of question brought in
regular form before legal tribunal; and BY the
rescue by force of prisoner in the legal custody
of the marshal of the United States. This ia the
second offence Of this nature which has been per-
Pstrsted in tA. city y the assembled coiGrsd popn
men Of . standing and education which should
enable them to understand that such an act Of re-
sistance is high offence, which, If not promptly
punished, must bring the law into contempt.
In addition to the account Of the transaction
which was given in our account yesterday, we now
copy some extracts from the COMMONWEALTH, the
editor OF which Journal was, by his own confession,
one of the advisers to this act Of resistance.
