An adjourned MeetinT"orrAs Society was held last evening, at the Mechanics' Institution. Mr. HINT, on taking the Chair, alluded to the secession of Mr. Cobbett from the Society, on the ground of some expressions used by Mr. French, which, as Mr. Cobbett alleged, would, in past times, have placed every man who heard them uttered in danger of a prosecution. He (Mr. Hunt) having been in the Chair on the former occasion, bad distinctly heard, and be now per. fectly remembered, what Mr. French had said. He would agree that the expressions he had used in reference to a Mem ber of the Royal Family might have been in bad taste; but, used as they were, in such a loose way, and on such an occasion, in the heat of debate, they ought not to have been noticed, and, in fact, were not noticed by any portion of the public press, except by Mr. Cobbett himself. Mr. Cobbett also charged Mr. French with having said that he wished for universal confusion, and that he was a republican.—(Frum a person in the crowd, " So be did say." He ( Mr. Bunt) had no hesitation in declaring that Mr. French never made use of any such expressions.—(A voice, " Then Cobbett is a liar.") — Another complaint was, that Mr. French bad said that there were no such bloodsuckers la America as the Duke of Wel lington. He admitted that Mr. French did use these words; but he was interrupted before he was allowed to explain.— The term was ordinarily applied to these who drew large re sources from the pockets of the people. Perhaps it was neither delicate nor just ;—bat who would ever have thought of hearing W. Cobbett complain of it on that account ? A hundred and a thousand times had Cobbett himself made use of the phrase in the same sense. Mr. Cobbett said he would no longer be a member of the Society. This was rather extraordinary, and the Meeting would be surprised when he informed them that Mr. Cobbett never had been a member, for there was one ceremony necessary as a qualification—namely, the paying down of a certain subscription, which be bad forgotten ever to do, although be did not forget to receive the half-guinea every time that the Society advertised its Meetings in his Register, and by these advertisements be cleared more than be (Mr. Hunt) bad gained by the whole course of his political conduct. Mr. Cob bett made two stipulations as the conditions of his becoming a mem ber; the first, that none but members should be permitted to address the meetings; and the other, which was a lase qua nen, that M r. Gale Jones should never be admitted a member. However, if Mr. Gale Junes were to be regularly proposed and seconded and elected by the Society, no one would have the power to refuse him admittance. It was easy to perceive, when Mr. Cobbett entered the door on the for mer night, that he meant never to attend one of their meetings again —and now he turned round and urged the Government to prosecute the members present, and him (Mr. Hunt) particularly, as be was most liable, from his having been in the Chair. At all events, he very plainly told the Government that if they did prosecute, he would be a witness that the words bad been used. They bad had a long lec ture upon Republicanism from Mr. Cubbett. This might be very well from a man who had never spoken or written in favour of what he now condemned. But he, Mr. Hint, bad taken the trouble to look back a little to what Mr. Cobbett bad previously said of the State of Pennsylvania. Within one short month, in his" Emigrant's Guide," he had recommended emigrants to go to the United States, and to take themselves entirely away from the British Government. And why?—" Because," as be said in a letter to a friend in Long I-land, dated the 25th of May 1829," in Pennsylvania there were no bloody borough-mongers—(he was so very squeamish in his ex• pressions)--there were no excisemen—no paupers—no parson justices—no tithes—no dead weight, female as well as male— no dog-tax, no house-tax, no window -tax, no gig -tax, no tax on servants—no public debt—no town of Burnley, in Lanca shire, where 2,000. out of a population of 6,000, were living on one-fourth part of the earnings of an American labourer." After some further comments, the paper from which Mr. Hunt read concluded :—" Ever blessed be the Americans, for they have established a Government which makes tyranny blush." But the Reformers need not be cautioned against petitioning for a Repub lic, for they had never thought of doing so. The Radical Reform ers should not now go upon their knees and beg Mr. Cabbed to come back. No man bad a higher admiration of his talents than he (Mr. Hunt) had—but if he were to turn tail upon the Re formers, Goo be praised that he had done it so early. He would mention one fact with respect to Mr. Cobbett :—He (Mr. Hunt) had given him some ground in Wiltshire, to make him a free holder in the county, and he promised to meet him at the inn at eleven o'clock at night, to draw up some mistakes. preparatory to the Election. After waiting in vain for him for some time, a friend went to look after him, and returned, saying, " They gave me the Courier, and do you know what's in it? That Cobbett is at Liverpool, on his way to America."— I pulled a fifty pound note out of my pocket, and offered to bet that that was not the case, and that he would be here in half an hour. Mr. Hunt then said to his friends, " I hope nobody took you up ;" for it was a fact, and he would have lost his money. So, if the Reformers pinned their faith to Mr. Cob bett's sleeve now, they might some day hear of his being again at Liverpool, on his road to America, since such was the treat ment that be, Mr. Hunt, had received from him, although he had behaved to him as a bosom friend, and bad actually devoted one year of his life to attending upon him while he was in Newgate.— The object of the Radical Reformers was to obtain their rights and liberties. and he hoped the cause was good enough to stand, even if Cobbett, and he. and others, were to abandon it for ever; but be would stick to the ship, and the Society would not catch him in the midst of danger running away. The minutes of the last Meeting were then read, as well as some letters, amongst which was Mr. Cubbett's announcing his with drawal trout the Society, on account of some language which he said bad been used by Mr. French, and would subject every mem ber of the Society to a prosecution. Mr. Flume said that he bad been interrupted on the former occasion, in consequence of some strong expressions which he used in characterising the Duke of Wellington. If he thought that, in addressing au assembly of Radicals, he could net use a strung figurative expression, in speaking of a man who, with his own places and pensions, and the places and pensions of his family, cost this country nearly one hundred and fifty thousand pounds a-year. he would wish to retire fur ever from the stormy ocean of public debate. and shelter himself from their indignation in the obscurity of his private life, and in that retirement he should not, on a retrospect, have a single political fault to reproach him self with, except that, living in a pusillanimous age, be had been somewhat bold In the current of his thoughts and the ardency of bis expressions. At this thus the Radicals should speak out with all their strength and energy. not as if the Attorney-General were frowning over their diessisier, or as if they were afraid of outraging the delicate . not of a hireling of the broad sheet, but of this new alty of the of Wellington, Wm. Cobbett, of the loyal Ifesister. They ahead not now content themselves with admiring the Duke of Wellington. or look with exultation upon the field of Waterloo, when tens of thousands of arms, as vigorous as those which mowed down the enemies of En g l an d there, were folded in idleness, though longing for industry, or stretched forth in suppli tattoo to those who told them, in their lordly answers, that they could not give them hope, much less bread. In such a situation they should not suffer their attendees to be drawn off, rivetted as it ought to be upon their own country, by the sacred misery of the people—by a long-winded speech about America. What had the decision of a Court in Pennsylvania, giving one thou sand dollars damages against William Cobbett, for a false and dastardly libel upon Dr. Rush—what bad this to de with the de liberations of the Radials?—" Who steals my purse steals trash," said Dr. Rush, as be pressed the law charge. Bet Colibett re plied, Curse the empty bubble of public reputation. He that makes an onset no my money bags is my deadliest foe." But all this had nothing to do With the meetings for Radical Reform. He was charged with wishing for universal confusion. " Confusion worse confounded," he said, in the words of the poet, upon the head of the base calumniator who dared to lay to hie charge the long-cherished wish of his own cankered—nay—fiend.like heart. His (Mr. F.'s) worst enemies could not believe that he had ever uttered such a guilty wish. In the midst of such a convulsion as he was supposed to look to, his contempt of money would still keep him poor. He would stand irretorse ocsilo, though all the spoils of the borough-mongers were spread in the arena before him. He also stood charged with being a Republican. He was an enthusiastic ad mirer of the British Constitution as it ought to be—oot as it is. Let the 3 props of the Coostitutition be restored—Annual Parliaments —Vote by Ballot—and Universal Suffrage—and he would ask no more. This was sound Radicalism. All beyond it was Jacobinism —was Vandalism—nay, what was infinitely worse than all the moral curses of the universe—lawless and rancorous Cobbettism. Mr. French was then about to read extracts from some of Mr. Cobbett's papers ' but the uproar which bad raged from time to time dodo' various stages of the proceedings was now redoubled, and be could not make himself heard. Mr. Harm. explained that what Mr. French wished to read was a passage in which Mr. Cobbett said that he had never received a sixpence for any thing be had written; and another, in which he said that he gave to his wife, in America, on their marriage, 150 guineas, which he had saved from his earnings by writing for hii officer% Mr. Faamot made repeated attempt. to read the paper, but his voice was drowned by the deafening tumult, and he ac length sat down. Mr. Guar and others addressed the meeting, enlarging upon the importance of Radical Reform ; and a resolution was pawed that an Address should be prepared to the peeple of the United Kingdom, calling upon them to co-operate with that Association in the cause of Radical Reform. FRENCH PAPERS. From the Messager des Chambres of Saturday Evening. It is now rumoured that the Ministry have discovered a new cause for fear : they tremble again—at what? Guess--at the Royal Guard. Truly this is said, and the rumour is not so exagge. rated as to prevent people from talking of it seriously. In the first instance, it is notorious that the garrison towns eta* honoured with a special surveillance—soldiers and °dicers are alike subjected to the inquisition of an active police. Ministers wish to know the opinions entertained by the army of M. Bourmosit—every thing is watched, even to silence—they are militated at the old prejudices attacked to the word Treason—prejudices which are indelible in a well formed European language, such as ours. It is said that during the fetes at Lyons the Minister at War wished to send thither the Royal Guard, but that a more wise counsel prevented the departure of a regiment which in fact could not comprehend what business it bad in the midst of a town so calm, of a joy so simple, of an obedknce so perfect to the orders of the Magistrates. From all this many have coos eluded that there is some foundation for the report of the Royal Guard being ordered to the environs of Paris, to give place to the Swiss Regiments, who are alone to be charged with the duty of watching us. In this case, the Swiss Guards alone will compose the garrison of Paris. This would be the greatest step since the disbanding of the National Guard. It is reported very seriously. Then let the King place himself at the window, and shout, "Mont Joye and St. Denis!" with the oriflanune in band. The citizens will run at the sound of that august voice ; but they will be citizens without arms; there will be strayed in order of battle only foreigners in our pay—not a national flag; and M. Bourmont. at the head of an army which will not speak French, will be astonished at having to learn a foreign language, in order to be able to command his soldiers. This is a very short chapter to add to the loos history of this frightened Ministry. The most vile echo of the Ministry thus expresses itself re. speedng the Anniversary of the death of the late King, Louis, the XVIIItk :—" The Literals like Elms muck when they am deed." Yes, dead or alive, we love our Kings when their lives have been worthy of national respect. Yes, we are nut counters with ungrateful beans who forget on the day of their master's death the benefits whic h they have received; we have tears and regrets for their tombs when they have been great or good men. We do not cry, like madmen, to attract the notice of authority; we have silent regrets and respect, without scandal or cla mour. It has been observed by one of our most clever writers, that Louis the XVII Ith was in a difficult position. He bad not distinguished his reign by warlike exploits, which frequently cost so much blood and grief. He did not mount on horseback, bat seated in his arm chair before his little table of white wood, at Hartwell, he immortalized himself by the Charter. end by the wisdom with which—recognising that all France had committed faults—he to the last moment of his life kept within their duty parties which were ready to tear each other to pieces, and a Court which had audaciously declared against his work. He re-established public credit by great exactitude in the finances. In short, he put into practice those words so dear to his heart—Union and oblivion. Yesterday evening, at the Opera, the following was stated to be the scheme for a new Ministry—namely, M. de Polignac, Foreign Affairs and President of the Council; M. de Chahrol, the Fi stances; M. de Belkyme. the Interior ; M. de Itigny, the Marine ; General !Beard, War Department ; M. de Chantelauze ' Justice; M. de Vatismenil, Public Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs.— The marked rise in the price of Stocks must be attributed to this news, which had transpired on 'Change. We consider the report as a stock-jobbing trick. We hear that the Ammo! de Rouen has become the object of Ministerial prosecution. Four of its numbers were seized yester day—those of Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. and Wednesday. The Prospectus of the Brittany subscription bad been inserted in one of these numbers, and defended in the others. We are informed from Hamburgh of the failure of a stock broker, named Elias Ruben, who enjoyed the greatest confidence with the bankers of that town ; he was t possessur of the savings of most of the retired people and servant% His failure is for a mil lion of marks banco. This event, which was made known at the opening of Change, caused such a depression at Hantburgh, that business was suspended for the whole of the day on Change. The Portuguese vessel the Minerva, Capt. Figutira, having lately sailed from the port of Santander for Gibraltar, with a cargo of 260 barrels of flour, the crew mutinied when at sea—the Cap tain, mate, supercargo, and three passengers, were put into a small boat with some provisions, and sent adrift, and the mutmeeri made off with the vessel for America. These unfortunate people. aban doned nearly to a certain death, bare however had the good luck to arrive, not without a great dell of trouble and danger, at Cadiz. ST. PF.TERSBURGH, Sarr. 2. The following is from the Gazette de Ci;tasaeree : We are Informed from Nisi- Novogorod, that the fair was opened on the 14th August. arid that up to the 25th 2,054 shop., and 1,436 booths were already occupied. The number of Persians and merchants from Tiflis that have arrived Is double that of the two former years. They have already purchased up nearly the whole of the ordinary muslin goods brought by the manufacturers of Schoula and hula', a quantity of nankeens, and a great part of the muslin. from MOStow. Remezoff, and Schevelbine. There have also been 21,500 cases of tea already sold, 38,000 caws of which were brought to the fair from Kiacbta. without Including that from Moscow. The inundation of the 12th of May lad had clieafile character, and opinions which cannot agree together. N. de Polignac and M. de Vatismend, M. de lielkynte and M. de Chantelluze, are anomalies too revolting. It is not at all strange, however, that the public should amuse themselves every morning in forming new Ministries; their good sense tenant allow them to believe hi the stability of such absur dity, and the possibil ty of things impossible. This is no doubt one of the manoeuvres of the It:change • the funds had a tendency decline; and as the Receiver.Generll's coffers begin to be nearly exhausted, it is probable that the Ministry itself finds no otk-r means of holding up the public funds than by having it spread that it is going to be dissolved. However, we believe that the Ministry is yet condemned to retain its power a little longer, and that its expiring gasp has not yet arrived. A letter from the French Cerdagne informs us as follows . " Three companies of the garrison of Mout- Louis formed a sort of cordon in the environs of Puycerda. This cordon was done away with on the 26tb. Two merchants of Puyeerda, being sus pected of having made some clothes and several pairs of shoes i,r rebels that never have been in existence, and knowing that a su.. pinion would be sufficient to cause them to experience all the se verities reserved for criminals, thought proper to put themselves under the protection of France ; they were immediately arrested. and conducted to the prisons in Perpignan. This act of authority is not only against the tight of nations, but that of hospitality and humanity, and more .o against the Treaty of the two Powers. " These two persons in passing through Sallageuse, under the escort of the gend'arm er le, were accosted by a merch ant i of that town, who was of French origin ; this was sufficient to render hint suspected, and on his return home be was arrested ; having been fortunate enough to escape, his unfortunate wife was immediately seized and put into prison ; his home was sequestrated, and his children driven out of it. " Puycerda is in the most dreadful consternation ; these two days past the gates have been closed ; two persons were arrested and conducted to Barcelona, and several others have Bed to seek refuge at Bourg Madame." Since this Ministry has been in existence, It has Pad a very sensible influence upon affairs. It is very difficult to determine the results day by day ; but if it is not easy to calculate thine by francs and centimes, a single observation will prove that in•it short time they will be frightful. The substance of this observation is as follows a budget of nearly a thousand million francs, the land tax is only reckoned at two hundred and forty millions, and therefore seven bundled and sixty millions must be demanded in directly from the different species of industry, in order to complete the budget. And let it be recollected that this sum of 1,000 million francs has hitherto not been sufficient to provide for every want,since It was said at the Tribune, in the last Session, that more :bar. two hundred millions would be required for the service, independently of this thousand million, which proves how fatal the least alteration in the receipts would be to the country. What multiplicity of reports, activity of communication, and rapidity in the circulation of the money, must be necessary, in order that the different spec es of labour may give to the Treasury a sum of 760,000,000 in the course of a year—a sum three times the amount of the land tas, though even now this species of property cannot support the charge Imposed upon it without the aid of the means which industry leads to it. Their great development has alone enriched the landed proprietors, and it is not necessary to go far back to find it bunhened with an impost of from 30 to 40,000,000, which it could only pay with difiiculty: This state of things, the result of so many efforts, so gratifying when obtained, so necessary, since alone it constitutes the prospe rity of all, while it alone can fill the coffers of the Treasury and support the public service—this state of things, in a word, which concerns all France, a Ministry has dared to attack in its principle ; and it has stated its intention of destroying the foundation of it. What can excuse such a foolish and criminal enterprise ? Have not the Ministers before their eyes the exempt of the Villele Mi nistry, stupid Spain, and the fury and misery of Portugal? Let them contemplate France, which they wish to treat as a prey, and they will see what a fatal influence is already exercised upon every pan of its territory by their presence in the Government. Thus the lint result of this Ministry is a flagrant attack upon our pros perity. An Electoral Bureau has been formed at Anjers, at which the members meet every Monday for the purpose of receiving infor mation on all electoral questions, enforcing their right as electors, and verifying the correctness of the lists. BUCHAREST, Auc. 30. We learn from the camp of Daja, the headquarters of General Kischeleff, that the left bank of the Danube, which has been hi. therto unmolested by the Turks, has been freed from them by the rapid movements of the General. The places most threatened were Tournoul and Kale, opposite Nicopolis. The 'Forks had landed one thousand cavalry and about two thousand infan try ; but General Baron Lowenstern, at the head of his cavalry. hastened to the spot with the rapidity of lightning, compelled the enemy to a speedy retreat; and Kale, which had for a moment been abandoned by the Russians. was again occupied by the in. fantry of Gen.
