CONSTANTINOPLE, Sim 26. Since the departure of the Sultan for the camp at Tchefilk, troops, artillery, and provisions are arriving there every hour. For the accommodation of the army, the shopkeepers and artisans of the capital have received orders to erect barracks in the vicinity of the camp, which forms a well-furnished bazaar. It is thought that the Sultan will soon set out for Adrianople. The superiors and clerks in the Govern ment offices all Sleep in the Palace of the Seraglio, that they may not lose their time in returning to their own residences. All the members of the Administration have assumed_ the military costume; the Ministers now %%ear a shawl round their heads, a sabre at their side, and pistols in their girdle, holding themselves in readi ness to march at the first notice. The Sultan's Treasury has just been enriched by a sum of 45,000 purses, or more than twenty millions of piastres in money and jewels, by the death of the late Governor of Scio, Emir Walled Pacha, well known for the part which he took in the negociations for peace . with England in 1809, and for his mission to Napoleon (luting the campaign in Prussia, in 1807. It is positively affirmed that Government has received a telegraphic dispatch, announcing an engagement between the Mussulmans of Patras and the brigade of Getter.' Schneider, in which our troops had the ad vantage. FRENCH FUNDS..--PAINS. OCT. 2g.—Five per Cents. 105 f. 20c. 25c. 50c.—Three per Cents. 74f. 15c. 10c. 15c.—Bank Actions, 1,835 f.

At an early hour in the morning people began to assemble on the Heath, and the preparations for the day were begun by the arrival of waggon+ and vehicles of different descriptions on the ground. The Shire House is a small shed situated in a hollow, at the back of which there is a plantation, and the ground in front rises in the form of an amphitheatre. A waggon immediately before the building was appropriated to the !high► Sheriff, and from that point a line of other carriages, in some places three deep, stretched round a large open ring, appropriated to the people on foot, and within which no horse was allowed to enter. A smaller space was Inclosed immediately under the Sheriff's waggon for the convenience' of the persons employed iu reporting the proceedings. On the right of the outer ring were two waggons hearing large placards, with the words el Civil awl Religious Liberty"--" 11. e Legislature, and no Dictation from Clubs," Ste. These had been prepared by .the Canterbury Committee of the Whig party. On the opposite aide , the waggons were early occupied by Yeomanry with oak leaves in their bats ; and shortly after ten o'clock a cavalcade of horses and carriages arrived, with a band playing , GOD save the King," and they were received with a general shout of cheering, and cric4 of " bats off !" At eleven o'clock, a very considerable body approached, with mu►ic and a great number of banners; among the inscriptions on which we observed, " Civil and Religious Liberty." en a blue if IC, and" Catholic Emancipation," on a green one, which waved over Mr. Spiel. These were ranged on the liberal side, and rec e ived with shouts by ooe party and hisses 011 the other. Placards were likewise about this time displayed on the Bruns wick side, one of which bore. " Idea of Kent, no show of hands for Adjournment." Sir Edward Enatchbull, the Member for the County, was the first person who appeared on the Sheriff's waggon, and three cheers were instantly given for bins, amid cries of No Popery," " Down with the Blacking-bottle, &c. The principal men on both sides now began to make their ap pearance. On the Liberal side were the Earl of Jersey, Earl C-owper, Mr. Wade, M.P. Colonel Wildman, Lord Teynliam, the Right Ho nourable Mr. Calcraft, 'M.P. Lord Radnor, Admiral Sit Henry Blackwood, Lord Darnley, Lord Clifton, Mr. (the late Sheriff) Winchester, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Bentley, &c. Ike. In their waggons no banners were displayed, nor from them were any placards circulated. In the High Sheriff's waggon were the Marquis Camden, who wore the riband of the Garter, Earl Amherst, Earl of Glengall, and bud Brecknock ; neat them was Sit Edward knatchutill, and them were then four or five wagguns on the left, in which were the Earl of Vlncki.ea , Lord Sydney, Lord Le Despencer, Sir E. Lrydges, and the other Gentlemen who were the promoters of this Meeting. They bad no banners, but they all wore oaken sprigs at their bosons. The elide/Kid space within this circumference was filled by one dense sm.'s of people. It is difficult to estimate numbers in such a qpace ; but sonic c,timatcd the attendance at nu lei, than 100,0 GO, others at 50,1'00: it is probable that the numbers present were nut less than 30,000. Some jukes were pointed at the different parties as they appeared on the ground; the severest thing said against Hunt was an attack upon his blacking; but the general bearing of the people as they formed en the heath was orderly and good humoured. Some cried " Where is Din O'Connell?—where is the As‘ociation ?" but there was nobody disposed to answer these interrogaturies. After a couple of hours had been spent in this way by the people, At twelve o'clotA the High Sheriff, Sir 'F. AIAIIXON Wiue.ns, Bart. appeared on the hustings and opened the business of the day. He said that the object which they had met to promote was to prepare a Petition to Parliament, praying that the Legislature would adopt such measures as appeared best calculated to support the Protestant establishment ut this kingdom in Church and State as by law established—(llear, hear). He trusted that in the pro ceedings of the day they would he tumid to maintain the dignity' becoming men assembled for such a purpose—(!sear, hear). Let there be no interruption. Let no tupic be introduced foreign to the business before them, and let every man receive a Lair and im partial hearing, who thought fit to address them upon the requisi tion. in pursuance of which he had convened this meeting--(Hear). The UNDZIL Surßire then read the Requisition which had led to his calling this Meeting: It was drawn up In nearly the same words already used by the Hiatt Surairr in referring to it. He afterwards read the following letter, accounting for the absence of 111 r. Honewoon, one of the County Members : " Mark's Hall, Oct. 21. _ _ _ " Sia—My brother would have written to you, but I am sorry to say he is very unwell; be fully intended to have been at the Meeting on the 24th instant, ani regrets extremely that it will slot be in his power to attend. You well know how strongly be feels on the subject, and therefore you may suppose how much he is mortified at being absent on such an occasion, when nothing but indisposition would have prevented him from opposing, as he ever has done, all measures so much at variaocr with our civil and reli gious libt-ties. I have the honour to remain your oh , dient servant, " To J. H. Darrant, Esq." " E. 110 NY WOOD. Mr. GIPPS then carne forward to claim the attention ofthe meeting. lie said it was mist gratifying to him lo be surioutuled by so many of his fellow countr) men on this auspicious day—(Cheers). To see such an as• semblage peaceably met together, to discuss one rf the greatest questions which could affect the liberties of their count: y, was to him indeed a gratifying sight. He hoped then from them a patient heating ; that was all he asked, and it was what no man could ever ask in vain front Englishmen—(Cheers). Nothing would have induced hint to come for ward in so promitient a manner, but the conviction of the nectibity there now was of bringing to issue the great question which had so long been bandied about among them—which had been, as it were, for years tossed to and km without a pilot or a rudder., and Hung from party to patty without being productive any definite result—(A cry of .. "Its time to settle it," which was immediately. re-echoed by the opposite party.) He claimed their indulgence only as lung as lie spoke with temper—(Hear, hear); and if he was betrayed for a moment from such a feeling, he would willingly crave their pardon for such au improper use of their time. It was incumbent on him to say, that the object of this meeting had been grossly maligned; the pro moters had been charged wah int derance—(Cries of " Yes," from one side, and 46 No." from the other). — they had been charged with stirring up civil strife, and he knew not what in fact their opponents had failed to ascribe to them. What, is it possible for men meaning what they did, to permit such vilification to pass un contradicted ?—(No, no). Was it possible that they who only asked to be permitted to enjoy in peace the coast' moon which their forefathers had handed down t • them, to stiffer with impunity such charges, as that they meant to resist all kinds of enlightened improve. ment ? He saw held up, as if in opposition to his side of the question, the banners of civil and reli gious liberty ; but he would tell his opponent ~ that that was the motto under which he and his friends fought.—(Cheers, and a universal waving of hats, with cries of civil and religious liberty,—all parties joined in the expression of this sentiment.) For that great cause," resumed Mr. Gippo• 46 we con tend as our ance.tors did, and for that we must tri umph"—(ltenewed cheers). The question before them that day was, whether they should petition Pailiament to give expression to that feeling ?—(Hear, hear, and some interruption of " No, Gipps, you want monopoly"). He intrcated they would not interrupt him—he was unused to public speaking, and he knew there were many more experienced speakers present, who would. give them the benefit of their opinions on this occasion. All he asked was—what he was ready to give to others —a fair hearing—(Hear, heat). He would not contend before them that the Catholics of England. in the pee sent day, were like those of the time of Queen Mary. He did not fIICAII to say that the present race of Ca tholic Gentlemen in England would, if admitted to power to-mot row, do as bloody Mary had done—(Cries of "They would," and " They would not"). GOD forbid he should impute to them a disposition to perpetrue such barbarity. Nevertheless he must say, that were they admitted into places of power, the threshold of the Constitution would be from that moment passed— (Hear). He did not mean to say, that even if this took place, the age of persecution would re-appear ; yet he was bound to look to principles, and not to men, and in the Catholic religion he beheld nothing but intole rance—(Cheers). When he looked to Ireland, an I saw what was daily passing there, how else could he think ? When he saw tl:e use made of spiritual agency in that unhappy country—when he saw what had been done by the Catholic Association and their agency—when he saw that Mr. O'Connell bent his knee in devotion before his fellow-man when on his way to the bustiags in the county of Clam, he could not shut his eyes or the dangerous the to which the Catholic religion was con vertible. When he saw the Irish brought up like the flocks of the field, lint by the shepherd, to be piotecred, but to be fleeced by the shearers, what el e could he see than a fatal spirit of dominion, the progress of which would be fatal to Protestant Biwa , / ?—(flear, hear). The religion of the Catholics, as Dr. Dayle had truly raid, was temporal as well a s spi t itital—(Cries of 4C Yes," and " Na," fi om the two parties.) (Cobbett here said something, and he was assailed by cries of o Tom Paine, Old Bones," and oil er epithsts). Well then, he would appeal to history. Was not the Constitution settled in the year 16S8 in the most s o. lemn and conclusive marine' ? Was not King James compelled to abdicate the et own, and did not tlieWhios take the lead in his exclusion, because he war,trd to supplant the British Constitution, and make it Catholic ? —(Yes, yes). Fur the maintenance of that Constitution King James had been dethroned ; for it their ancestors had fought and bled; and then with joy and exultation handed down to their postirity a Constitution which was the envy and admiration of the world—(Cheers and interruption, and cries of No Popery). They were bound to leave such a Constitution unimpaired for those who must follow them; they were bound to preserve for otters the blessings which they so der:ly prized themselves—(Cheers, in which both sides again con curred). Pray, what did any class of teligionists in this country now want? Didahey not, whether Dissenters or r tier wise, possess the full benefit of toleration? Could the) not all worship GOD in their own way without in terruption, just as well as sound Churchmen could?— (Hear, hem.) But they had heard that sonic securities could be devised for Catholics. He wished to. Goo lie could devise any which would answer the real put pose. He knew he could not, or he would grant Catholic Emancipation with all his heart ; for nothing shoit of absolute necessity would prompt him to ex clude any fellow-rubject from the full enjoyment of his rights (Here coeers and some inter; option).— It was said that the great man at the head of the pre sent Government, the Duke of Wellington, wished to settle this question ; perhaps that Minister could do so as it ought to be done, but lie (Mr. Gipps) could nor— (Laughter sold applause). What securities could Bo man Catholics give to this Protestant State—(A cry of None, and of Yes, with exclamations of They look upon us all as heretics, met with others of 'Tis all a lie). They hold to a foreign allegiance--(Here again mingled inter ruptions Yes and No). Dr. Doyle himself declared the infallibility of the Catholic Chui ch, and that if' even the Pope made any concession, his successor in the chair of St. Peter would not be bound by it. He gave the Ca tholics lull credit for the sincerity of their belief, and he only imputed to them what was natural for m.n to do, according to the general impulse of human nature : they would of coui se wish to undo the Established Church of their opponents—(Cries of They shan't upset us, met leith exclamations of Who wants to upset you ?) He would leave the decision to this great meeting, only reminding them that while the Catholics openly refused to allow Protestants to legi s l a t e i n any manner tor the rechurch, they did not hesitate to claim permis sion to have some rule over the Establishment. They would not allow England to deal with their church— (A cry of who wants to deal with it? we want none ol it). Ile admitted it would be a happy day when this question could be fit ally set at rest—(Cheers). What hoist could there be upon Catholic allegiance ?—(Ci we of, the law and their interest). The safest way would be to hold fast to the Constitution; there, and there only, would they act wisely; to temporize would be to de , ceive. Ile had a great dislike to trespass upon their Mime, but there was one tiring of which he must remind them, namely, the perilous situation of their brethren of the Protestant religion in Ireland—(Loud cheering). la England the Protestants would be comparatively sate, if the Catholics even got wh..t they sou.,;ht f ; ut how would it he in Ireland ? There cieir lit etnien (the Protestants) %sonic!, on the very r ext d y, feel the fatal effects of this dangerous departure from the policy of their ancestors. S:e the th'eats rf the Catholics themselves—see their denuncia i ns agatrist the Pro testatit religion—see the war m iverrients of the Ca tholic Associati-n, with the Priests at their head, avow. edly aiming at the subversion rf the Protestant religion —(Cries of Hear. and No). There was. he had heard, a Gentleman (Mr. Cobbett) who came from a distance to enlighten them as to their duty: he hoped they would give that person just as good a representation on the Heath, as he understood he had received on his entrance into Maidstone yesterday. They had before them better advisers in the experience of history, in the instance of the rebellion cf Ireland, where sonic (f the Priests led their bands against the King's troops ; they had besides their own good sterling commuu sense,which was a safer guide than the declamations of itinerant orators-. (A cry of " Ay. and take that Old Gridiron, you and your Indian corn "). Ile would now conclude by reading the petitiOn. It shouli he generally distil huted for signatures through the county, so that every Kentish man Who pleased cr uld put a shoulder to the a heel. Toe worthy Gentleman then concluded by reading the following petition,which he moved fr.r their adoption : " To the Ilonnurable the House of Commons, &c. the humble Petition of the undersigned Freehtdders of the Cirri - 4y of Kent, sheweth " That your Petitioners beg leave to express to your Minot r. able }louse their sense of the blessings they enjoy under the Pro testant Constitution of these Kingdoms, as settled at the Remo lotion. " Viewing with the deepest regret the proceedings wh!ch have for a long time been carrying on in lie Pal. your Petitioners feel themselves imperatively called upon to declare their stroll and inviolable attachment to those Protestant principles which have proved to be the best security for the civil and religious liberty of these kingdoms. " They, therefore, approach your Honourable Howie, humbly but earnestly praying that the Protestant Constitution of the United Kingdom may be preserved entire and inviolable." PLUMTREE, ESQ.—That Gentleman, who wou'd have seconded ihe motion which I have now the honour of seconding, I mean ►llr. Charles Ward, a beau sif the old school—((heat applause)—firm and faithful to those principles which have placed and niaintained the teigns ' mg Family on the Throne—(Bravo, bravo). That Won• Gentleman has been prevented, by the serious illness of a near relation, from occupying the situation I now hid. Brother freeholders, we ate met together at a mot mo mentous crisis, upon a most important subject. The question before us is, in its very essence. that of cisil and religious liberty—(llear. hear). We meet together not as Noblemen and Geotlemen, oittinguisimd as such, nor as rich and poor—not as men of East Kent and 01 West Kent. but we meet as the Protestant inha. blunts of this noble county. We nice' together, hum bly but earnestly undictated to, but unhesitatingly to petition Parliament to maintain entire, undivided, and inviolate, our religious Protestant C.nstitution. li.ha• bitants a Kent and Brother F►eehn!,'ers 1 1 fcel : h at nothing can be said more than has been said. again and again, upon this m• st important sohjecr. I feel thn rt is not necessary, that it is not desiratoe, to trespass upon your time. I now pray you to be loyal to your King, be firm to your Constitution, above all he faithful to pour (ion—(llear)—and this great country shall yet flourish, fiee and Brett, the glory f Vits Piot Id. I have the sii.cere4 pleasure in seconding the motion put by toy Nobie Friend—(lncreased applause). Lord CAMDEN now presented himiet to tl:e Meeting, and said—Mr. High Sheriff, and By th-r Freeheldet those who may address this Meeting may probably say, that they have thought it an impera ive duty to attend the meeting called upon by this requisition. I am about to tell you the reasons 1 have attended, because I tliiak —(C r ies of no atijnoitnment)—becanse I think that it in general is not my duty, standing as I do, to attend meet. ings 01 this description, and to say at toe same time I am quite aware of the respectability, as well at the numbers of those woo attend it. Gentlemen, 1 Lad the honour to receive a letter firm a Noble Friend of n — a Noble Earl whe» 1 see not far hero n e, to inform me that a meeting was about to be held,. and telling me that he apprehended that I, as well as he, must di:, appiove of tie meaonef of the Catholic Association. I told my Noble Friend, that I thougt.t th.t It, use in 'which I happened to have a seat was the proper ~lace to deliver my sentiments—(Heat)—that I sheuld m t attend that meeting. 111 had known IA hAt was :n hate been peptised at that meeting, 1 believe I should ha...e been there, because I would rather have declared my disapprebation If what pasted there helm e it terok place than since it has formed itself into the shai e that it now has. Gentlemen, I am desirou-, and in what I shall have to say to ru shall eneeavour to ex press myself with as much moderation as possible.— (Cries of 44 Bravo r ) 1 have been for thirty years engaged in difference of opinion, but never i t contro versy on this question—any thing like controversy. can as..uie those who hear nte, that though upon this occasion I may differ from others, and from the manner in which this meeting has been opened, I feel I must do so, yet we have lived together, arid I would live, in in. timacy and friendship with all around me. Let us, for GOD'S sake, when we have done wh..t we think cur duty upon this Heath, unite in every thing advantageous to this great and respectable county. Do not let those op pions which must and ought to be discussed at Par liament, do not let what may be said upon them here, make any difference either in our feelings or conduct hereafter—(Bravo)—Gentlemen, I tioubted long, as many lion. Friends of mine well know, 1 doubted long whether I should invent myself to your notice at this meeting. But when I saw the manner in wtich the requisition was brought forward, I really thought it a duly for a man who has been coni.eced in sonic degree, and in a great degree, with this question for 30 years, and who has been in the offices which I have titled, not to be prevented front offering myself here ; for, nctwith. .t sliding the violent and intemperate language used by the Catholic Association, and notwithltanditog some loyal effusions which have come trona Gent! men cf another description—(Hear, hear). Gentlemen. I don't know whether 1 shall the you to going ever a short letter that I wrote in 1797, SI years ago, to Mr. PAC upon this question. (The Noble Lord here read a copy of the letter, which he stated bad been read in the Lords on a iormer occasion). His Lordship, at the time alluded to o sate in his Majesty's Cuuncil with Mr.
