At the hamlet of Petit-Chesnay, a quarter of z league hum the city, a quarrel took place between the horse grenadiers and the Swiss of the Royal Guard. There were five or siz men killed, and from twenty-five to thirty wounded. It is to be hoped that at length the Glvernment still be convinced of the danger of allow ing the soldiers to keep their arms when not on duty, for that converts the mo.t 1, ivolous quarrels into bloody contests when they occur among drunken soldiers, who then know of no other law but that of the sabre at their side. The horse grenadiers and the Swiss of the Royal Guard are in garrison at Versailles. The fin mer had selected for their rendezvous a public-house by the name of Clic:nay, to which they resorted frequently, conceiving that this place of amusement was more espe cially appropriated by their body. On St. Charles's, Day they repaired, after an absence of two months, t.; their usual rendezvous, but during their absence from the gartisun the Swiss had taken possession of their quarters; words arose, an insult was given by a Swiss to a grenadier, and this was the signal for a fight.— Blood was shed on both sides, and, as we have said, several were wounded, and five killed. Another account states, that on the day of the King's fete, the Horse Grenadiers of the Ist Regiment was to drink at Petit Chesnay, a quarter of a league from Ver sailles; and sonic soldiers of the Swiss Guatds, also in garrison at Versailles, were drinking at the same place. These were in particular many of both regi.oents at the public house, " Grace de Dieu," kept by M. Leveille. The Swiss were dancing, when one of the grenadiers entered, covered with blood, and a large wound in his forehead. " To arms, Frenchmen," cried he," the Swiss are murdering us." At these words foreigners and Frenchmen chew their sabres ; a terrible quarrel ensued; tables, jugs, bottles, were all broken; and outside of the public house soldiers were seen pursuing their opponents, with a candle in one hand and a sable in the other. The landlord jumped out of the window, his wile escaped in another direction. Rage and drunkenness mastered .the soldiers to sech a degree, that the pour fiddler would have been massacred, hAd he not implored mercy on his knees. At thebeginning of the affray the Guards were beaten, a reinforcement was sent sufficiently strong to seize and carry off the combatants. A notion of the horrid spectacle may be formed by the circumstance, that nothing was to be seen on the road but bleeding men, or men carried on litters. It is nc t known who were the aggressots; but the two corps have not been on good terms since they have been in garrison together. A great number of arrests were subsequently ordered. Yesterday Marshal Oudinot, Major General of the Royal Guard, sent persons to Versailles to inquire into all the circumstances of this deplorable occurrence. , FILIMCM FUNDSPA PM, Nov.

The news which the Porte has receiveJ from the atmy in Bulgaria comes down to the sth, both lions the camp at Saturnia and Varna. The Grand Vizier, after hav ing passed the Balkan, had strived on the other side of the Kanizick, and bad made several attempt, to re lieve Val eta. Some thousaud men, under the command of Orner Pacha Vtione, had been sent from Schumla. I'. wards vie end of September there had been a series of engagements,' in which the Tu r kr, notwithstanding their efforts, had not been able to dislodge the Russians from their etrongly intrenched position on the south sore of the Bay of Varna. The warmest affsirs were on the 26th and 30th of Sept. The Russians had lost nt•ry men, especially of the Guards, and several of the. r Oenerals. Tote dispatches from S:humla say, that on the 40 Alisch Pacha was recur tong with booty and prisoners, whets he was surrounded in a wood by a party of Don Cossacks, He took the desperate resolution of mu , strieceing the prisoners, who end,avoured to rejoin their comrades; and his cavalry charged the enemy with ,t:b fury that they gave way, and so the Pacha returned to Schusnla without further obstacle. This time eke Porte had not published any bulletins • of there everr, r, as it did on former occasions. • Private letters front Schwas say, that Halib Pscha, who had distinguisLeo himseif several times at the bead of Vie regular troops, had been removed on account of som e indiscreet expression; which might ezci.e jealous, b tweets the regular and irregular troops.

It having been announced that a Public Meeting would be held at Newton Abbott, on Wednesday, for the impose of petitioning Parliament against any fur ther concessions to the Roman Catholics, the streets of that town, long before the hour apppointed for meeting, presented evidences that the subject excited the greatest interest both in Newton and its neighbourhood. It was originally intended to hold the meeting at the Globe inn, but as the house cm tained no. room large enough to accommodate the numerous pet sons who were likely to attend, .it was resolved that the subject should be discussed in the open street, near the church, where hustings were accordingly promptly erected, by laying planks across two waggons which were brought to the, spo'. 0 the hustings were displayed two union jacks, and another iI4A waved from the top ()Eche church tower. At about a quarter to oae o'clock, Colonel MALIN or Ipplepen, was called to the Chair, at which time above 2,090 persons had - assembled. Mr: DRAKE—The object of the Meeting was to peti- I lion Parßament that the Bates!) Constitution, as estab. lishcd by the glorious Revolution of 1688, might be preserved unimpaired and inviolate—(Loud cheers). — It had been stated in various quarters, that with regard to the Catholic Question Devon was asleep. He had him:ell seen a caricature—and we all liked a pretty picture—(Laughter)—in which the English Counties were revresemed in different ways, and Devon was de picted as enjoying a profound slumber. This mi,;ht all be very pretty; but he thought that from riis time fur. ward, art,enever she fell asleep, some hearty Newton fellow would poll her by the sleeve, and waken her up by bawling out, is Remember the sth of N ivember— (Great laughter). After a few further remarks, Mr. Drake read the requisition, and a lever from Captain rellew, regretting his unavoidable absence, and ex. pressing his er tire approval of the object of the Meet. ing, concluding by hoping that a County Meeting would soon express the attachment of the inhabitants of Devon to the Con titnion. The fallowing letter from Mr. BASTARD, our wor thy County Member, was then read : " Kitley, Nov. 4, lOU. " 11fv Dams Sia—l beg you to accept my best thanks for your communicatioo of the hand-bill announcing a Meeting of the Inbar ititatits of Newton and its vicinity to be held to-morrow, for the purpose of forwarding a Petition to Government against any far. ther concessions to the Roman Catholics. To those coocusions, whenever the subject bu been agitated in the House of Commons, since I have bad the honour of a seat in it, I have been invariably opposed, front the conviction that it was a questiou not of religious I.beny, which is already enjoyed in its fullest extent by every in. disidual throashout the United Kingdom, but of political expe diency, seriou.ly affecting the vital interests of our Constitution in Church and State. " Entertainiug this opinion, I do not hesitate to declare. that unless Catholic Emancipation (as it Is called) can be coupled with aderte securities to the Protestant Estabiliasinsent. sr/6kb bas ant yet Maur, as I Istitire, can case be devised, I wiU Lava cos " That your Petitioners have viewed with much regret the proceedings that have been carrying en for a long time past in Ireland, with the Intention of obtaining further Concessions to the Roman Catholics. They feel themselves, therefore, called as to express their strong attachment to those Protestant prin *les by which our civil and religious liberties have hitherto been preserved. 44 And they further beg leave to approach your Honourable Hesse, humid) , but earnestly harming that the Protestant COll. siltation of the United Kingdom may be preserved entire and in violate. And your Petitioners will ever pray." A Uentendoes burst of cheering followed. Captain B. Buu.sa—l would beg to point your at -Itendon to that part of the Petition which refers with ,deep regret to the late disturbances in Ireland, which, we are told, will never cease till the cis it disabilities of the Catholics are removed. The true source of these disturbances is the ignorance in which the priesthood keep the agricultural population.--(cheer )---by denying them the Bible, and by pet forming the service of heir Church in a language which the people cannot under stand. Will they be mote liberal if the disabilities are taken away?_(. , No, no, they would not?) I believe that the case would be very different. There are now individuals in Ireland—members of the Protestant Church—who ate endeavouring to remedy the evils of that country, by the imparting of religions instruction to the peasantry, and if they persevere in their benevo lent and philanthropic designs. we may yet live to see Ireland happy and at peace, instead if being torn to pieces by internal faction. By our Protestant principles we are taught to honour the King—that King who has taken a solemn oath to maintain our Protestant Consti tution in all its purity—but do we honour him when we Allow him to fear that his subjects will not afford him the encouraging strength of their s ippon? It is time that we should rise to the support of our King—to ral'y round our Constitution, and to show the woild that we are not desirous of any change in r nr laws and institu tions—(" We want no change'). tient!emen, I beg to conclude by heartily seconding the Petition which has been proposed for your adoption—(Rattisrous cheering). Major LINDHAM, of Livermead, near Torquay, then offered himself to the notice of the Meeting, and com menced by saying, It England expects every man to do his duty." I have never shrunk from mine, and I never will--(Cheers). It is with sincere pleasure that I con gratulate the inhabitants of Newton and its vicinity at having taken the lead, as far as regards Devon, in this 1 , gloriais cause. It is the most inestimable pi ivilrge of Englishmen to meet together for the purpose of peti tioning the Legislature of their coui try ; and while their . opinions are thus expressed in a calm, constitutional. though firm manner, the welfare and glory of the coun try will remiin as firm and unshaken as the rocks by which she is surrounded—(Cheer-). We are met to express our determin , tion to uphold our Constitu tion in Church and State—(" We are, we are")—to uphold that Constitution, which has conferred more inestimable blessings on this land that are enjoyed by any other country in the woad—And never was tie expression of public feeling more called for titan it is at the present moment—(" We will give it“). — The Prime Minister of this kingdom has said, that ills opinion shall be guided by the voice of the people. and I need not say how much that opinion is worth. It has been said that the general opinion of this country is in favour of Catholic Emancipation ; but I do hope. Gess denten, that you will this day aid me in showing that your feelings, and the feelings of the county do not lie in that direction—(Cheers). The Roman Catholics com plain if oppiession and hardships; and by demanding , with threats the removal of the disabilities, show that they are teady to take by force what the law of the land withholds front them. But what hardships, should like to know, have they to complain o1? (None). Is their property less secure—are their persons less protected—are they ptevented horn enjoying the fruits of their labours—are they disturbed in the wor ship of their gods , No, no—there is not one t f those who advocate their cause that can say this is the ca .e; but the truth is, they sadly want to have a hand in the Government ; they wish to get at the top, and then kick us hereticit out—(Cheers and laughter). They are, however, perfectly aware of the peculiarities or John Bull—they know that he will not go into this s tare with his eyes open. If they acknowledge that the) do not believe in the infallibility of the Po; e—that they have no desire to persecute and singe heretics-. that they are tpst the same kind of Catholics as those we see in Spain—then I say they ate reformists, and let them entitle themselves to our reception by giving the pro v er proofs of these things. But I will show that they are not changed. They say they owe no obedience to the Pope in civil matters—(" That all a hum') i but it is a glaring fact that the Piiesthood ate kept by him in the most slavish thraldom, which as a manor f course is intended to ;hose etware•un.ter their KA. , my point, and will repeat my regret that the banner of intolerance has been first raised in this tow n, and I most Also say how sorry I am to witness the tone which this meeting has assumed—(Great uproar, mingled with cries of " Hear him, fair play.") Stlerce being then established, Mr. Jones proceedeJ to reca; itolete (with out acknowledgment) some of the leading points of Mr. 'Shiers speech, no spoken, at P...send n Heath. Tnese were, that Magna Charts was obtained for England by Catholics—that in France Protestants are admit ed to civil offices—tl at in Germany all religi. ns are placed on an equality—that the Protestants o: E .gland bete haired to theit Catl.o'ic fellnw count:) men, nue ly on account of a difference in religi. us opinions; and such like attempts at argument. to which common sense supplies an antidote. but which bare been a bundled times dignified by refutation. fie then said, England is the list courtry in which intolerance prevails— Look at the tisnig Republics of South America-0 e men who lifted them into indepenJence and liberty were Catholics ; and can it then be fall, said that the Catholic Religion is a religion of !lint: y ? I will give you a along instance of the liberality cf the Ca. tholics :—The Spanish Government—the Griveinment of a Catholic country—during the late war placed the Duke of Wellington, wl ois a P.otestant, at ah bead of its army ? Can this be called intoleiance ?—(Grert uproar). I speak only of facts—can you disprove th em ? i_ e . Remember the Inquisi!ion"). S'ime (kit eman says, it Remember th• Inquisition"—l will direct him to an English Inquisaion—the Spiritual Conti—let hos look at home before he finds fault abroad—(Laughter). —l.think I have :elated to you facts which cannot be ialsified; and 1 hope, in the decision which you will this day come to, you will not suffer your judgments to be led away by ridiculous tales. B:fore I conclude. I must beg to call your attention to the Catholics of your own neghbouthood to disprove the assertion that they are not suffered to read their Bibles. Go into the cottages of the Catholics who live around you, and tell me whether you see the Bible tl:ere or not? The Rev. Gentleman concluded by proposing an amendment. James Rolm, Esq. of Iroddescombeleigh. seconded the amendment, and 1)1i/fly observed, that his ws , nive for doing so was because he wished tec restoration of peace and good will among his Majesty's SU hi cis. He concluded by expte•sing his entire concurrence in tie sph it of the amendment, and observed that i: was ex tremely hard that the Catholics should be set down as rebels before they had been tried. • The Rev. NI , . Lain, tai litisharn, then presented himself to the Meeting. and was received a ith loud and continued cheers. The Lusting• can hardly be called a proper place tot a cleigs m tit, but his presence may, perhaps, be allowtd ou au occasion Ilk, the present, when t . .e object in d scussion is of a religious nature. Whether, however, it is ti ht or not fm me to stand in my present tituatiiin. 1 li e been affors!ed a suffi cient precedent by a nevi rend Gettlenian who has spoken Wore me, anal 1 do reliantly feel a wish that it should not go abro td that only one Clergyman should have spoken at this letting. I am unwilling that Mr. Jones should be &zeroed the only ele lical iepresentatise of this part of the county.— I am certainly at odds in meeting so practised an orator, but in this cause the meanest stripling in the camp of Israel may go frith with his sling and his 't me against this Goliah of GAO-. I trust that GOD IA ill not let a good cause fail from the steAness of its advocate Without touching on the qttestiln of cimsistency, we must allow that it is very chivalric of Mr. Jones, as a Protestant Clergyman, to stand finch as the advocate of Popery. We must all give the Rev: Gentleman credit for his liberality, but we must not let him engross all the liberality to himself. He talk• of the hatred of Pro testants towards the Catholics. We entertain no such feeling t9wards them; I love them as m n— and a fine spirited race of men would they be if they were once released from the thraldom ezeici•ed over them by their Piiests ; we allow the Catlidics every possible credit. If we consult history, we shall find the accords of numerous traits of Catholic character, and especially amcug those of our own land. I would pay the homage of applause to the character of a Nobleman (Lord Clif ford) residing in this very neighbourhood—(•a We all do")—but I will at the same time make this observatien, - -thee great s and gooslesp s it is pot the Cathie
