124 ANNUAL REGISTER, 1818. [Sept. 



posed, now submission has been 

 made, to pass over the attempt to 

 take the management of their 

 affairs out of their own hands ; 

 forgiving and forgetting the in- 

 suhs they received during the 

 turn out, and the loss which so 

 much capital, so long unemploy- 

 ed, had unavoidably occasioned. 

 The major part of the weavers 

 in this neighbourhood, we under- 

 stand, are again at their looms, 

 with advances of various rates on 

 the prices lately paid for weav- 

 ing ; for it was impossible, how- 

 ever feasible the plan might 

 seem, to raise the prices in one 

 indiscriminate ratio. There are 

 however some of this most valu- 

 able class of population still dis- 

 satisfied, who refuse to return to 

 labour till the original demand of 

 seven shillings in the pound is 

 complied with. This feeling, we 

 are told, operates in a great 

 degree in the neighbourhood of 

 Bolton, where dissatisfaction still 

 prevails, although very consider- 

 able additions have been made 

 by the manufacturers to the 

 prices recently paid, and which, 

 it is stated (viewing the present 

 stocks on hand, and the present 

 demand), cannot at the present 

 moment be advanced farther, 

 without increasing the privations 

 of which weavers, in very many 

 cases with too much justice, have 

 complained ; since the continued 

 accumulation of stock, at a greater 

 expense in manufacture, would 

 induce, if not force, the holders 

 to suspend the fabrication of 

 particular articles ; and many 

 weavers, now employed, would 

 ■of course be Ijft "for a time 

 entirely without work. — Mati'

The Jesuits, — The following is 



the proposition submitted by the 

 Council of State of Fribourg to 

 the Sovereign Council for the re- 

 establishment of the Jesuits : — 

 " The Grand Council had, in its 

 last Session, and after two deli- 

 berations, acknowledged that the 

 Company of Jesus had rendered 

 great services to the religion and 

 state of the Canton until their 

 suppression, and the establishment 

 of this company presented some 

 essential advantages to education 

 in assuring the unity of principles 

 and the uniformity of instruction. 

 For these considerations, a wish 

 was expressed by a great majo- 

 rity that this company should be 

 re-established in the College of 

 St. Michael in that city, being 

 fully convinced of the utility and 

 necessity of this restoration. To 

 promote the paternal views of 

 the Sovereign Council, the Coun- 

 cil of State has the honour of 

 submitting to its examination 

 the project of a decree, as 

 follows : — 



Article 1. The Company of 

 Jesus shall be re-established in 

 the College of St. Michael in 

 this city, to pursue there a reli- 

 gious life, and to give public in- 

 struction, conformably to the in- 

 stitutions of its Holy Founder, 

 approved by the Bull of the 

 Pontiff, dated the 7th of August, 

 1814. 



2. Tliis company shall be put 

 in possession of the property 

 annexed to the College. 



3. It shall project and present 

 to the Government a plan of edu- 

 cation and public instruction. 



4. It shall enjoy the pro- 

 perty annexed to the College, 

 but without power, under any 

 pretext, of alienating or of dis- 

 posing of any of the funds with- 

 out
