BRITISH DEMOCRACY.



From the London Globe, August Is. boo
The agitation for Increased wages, where
an advance has not been already given, seems
TO have died out generally, in the face Of the
diShcartcning prospect induced by the Franco
German war; but in some places the cotton
operatives are not considerable Of anything
hut their own interests. At the Hibblcshale
mill, chichester, near Preston, the Wrappers
have struck, throwing out Of work the whole
Of the windcrs, and causing serious incon-
vcnicnce and loss to the weayers. who will
also be dc, ,rived Of work should no arrange
mcnt soon he made. At Oldham 400 wcav-
ers. i'm the employ of Mcssrs. Grcavcs
and Derker,- -oas-0f use-G sals who sieclines
to give the advance conceded by tlfc mas
tiers generally few weeks ago, gave seven
days notice that they would cease work if
their wages were not raised to the prices cur
rent before the reduction of last year, where
upon they were "lockcd out" by the masters.
On Friday evening the operatives in the en-
ploy-"f Me~nss Rattray and Simpson, liert-
ford Mills, Preston, received an advance of
ten per cent, the amount deducted from
wages ut that establishment in the spring Of
1869. The operatives in all branches of the
cotton trade have just commenced move
ment to effect reduction of the hours Of Ia
Dor on Saturdays.
This new agitation, which, istO he carried
on simultaneously in Lancashire, Yorkshire,
Cheshire and Dertyshirc, by the amalgama-
ted unions Of the four counties, has for its
object the closing Of the mills at II instead
of = o'clock, on that day. The operators
argue that they still work greater number
OF hours per week than any other class Of
work people; that five hours close and
watchful labor, from breakfas, until =
O'Clock, in 4 heated atmosphere and without
relreshment, is too much; and that the cur
tailment of production that would be CON-
scquent upon the adoption Of their prolo-
sition would be more beneficial than other
wise ut the present time.

CHICAGO, Sept. ia St. Paul CORES
pendent says A gentleman from Fort
Garry informed them that fierce exaspcr.,-
ton prevails among the the French popula-
ton here at the perfidOus violation of pledges
made by the Canadian Government, and by
Minister Thornton to Secretary Fish, where
by the unopposed entrance Of Canadian
troops was secured. This gentleman was
told by Riel, that the day before the troops
arrived that all had been satisfactorily ar
ranged and that he was awaiting news Of the
arrival Of the newly appointed Governor
Archibald, with his his troops TO turn the
government over to him until the arrival
of troops within few miles of Fort Gar
nv, was confident that the arrangements
would be carried out i'm good faith. That
the troops had no other than pacific inten-
tions which their commander and
government had protested and that Archi-
bald was to come before them and re-
ceive the government at his hands. Thee
assurances had been given him by Bishop
Lacl,e. ON behalf Of Gov. Archibald and
the Canadian government, but at daylight
on the 23d of August, word was brought to
him that troops were advancing up Red
River from the State Fort and were making
prisoners Of every body passing through
their line. That they were i'm fighting array,
equiping horses and mounting them with
retlemen, and with artillery numbered and
every preparation for battle.
Riel says at once that he had been decciv-
ell, and that there was alike demonstration
in country with no enemy. No enemy in
front had a hostile purpose, that it was
treacherous ambuscade and surprise under a
flag Of truce, and that Ire and his colleagues
of the Provincial Government were to be the
victims. Riel, Donehuc, and few friends
at once took horses and fled, Riel going to
American territory. As they entered Fort
Garry they loudly demanded of
everybody where Riel was declaring
they would shoot him at sight everybody was
arrested who was pointed out as having any
connection with the Riel movement. Gov.
Archibald had not arrived. The French
half-breed population were intensely excited
by these events. The elements Of rebellion
are more formidable than ever. There is a
story, which is vouched for by good authori-
ty, that Riel and his colleagues leA the fort
and the country upon the advice of Bishop
Tache, upon the assurance that after Cover
nor Archibald arrived all would be well.

others are approaching the same state of ad-
