At one o'clock, Mr. WELLS, the High Sheriff, opened the business of the Meeting, on temporary hustings in the High street. Colonel J.W. STRATFORD then came forward, and said, that having had the honour to introduce the important subject of the Catholic claims to the atten tion of the Noblemen and Gentlemen who signed the requisition to the High Sheriff, he would now take the liberty of proposing ig that a Petition be presented, to both Houses of Parliament against those claims,', the concession of which, in his view of the subject would amount to the subversion of the Constitution and would be in direct opposition to the Act of Set tlement, which our ancestors had so wisely provided for the protection of the Protestant establishment.— He concluded by moving the petition. Sir HENRY HAWLEY seconded the motion. He professed himself a friend to religious toleration; but he never would consent to open the doors of political power to a body of men whose principles were, he thought, in direct opposition to the spirit and genius of the British Constitution. He was afraid, that by admitting Catholics to hold seats in the Cabinet, the consequence would be, that in process of time they would have a Catholic King on the throne, and would revive all those religious animosities which had tinctured with blood the earlier pages of our ,history. The Petition having been read, and the question put by the High Sheriff, Lord TIJANET rose to move, as an amendment, an Address of a far different nature. It had always been his misfortune when this question was agitated in Parliament to be in the minority. That circum stance, ho*ever, should not deter him from telling the Freeholders of Kent what their duty was in this critical period of their country's history ; nor should he be dejected,. if he had again the misfortune to be in a minority. The opposers of the Cnholic Claims had studied how they might most blacken the characters of the Roman Catholics, and how best to stifle the voice of reason and of nature, by the clamour of pre judice and intolerance. Here the Noble Lord ad verted to the doctrines ascribed to the Catholics, of keeping no faith with Heretics, and of the power of the Pope to depose a Protestant Sovereign. Doc trines such as these had been so solemnly and indig nantly disclaimed, both by Catholic Universities, and. individuals, that nothing but the grossest prejudice could still ascribe them to the Catholic Body. In deed, the arguments in opposition to their claims had been so often refuted, he would not waste the time of the meeting by entering into a detail of them. The amendment he proposed should be the same as that agreed to the other. day, at the Wiltshire Meeting, whose independent and liberal conduct, he invited the men of Kent to imitate. In every view in which he considered this question, he thought the tranquil , lity of the Empire was at stake, in the decision of it. Fallacious, indeed, were the views of its opposers, who imagined that they could silence and tranquillise thi. Catholics, by at once rejecting their petitions.. If such a silence could be effected, he would, indeed, look upon it as that sort of tranquillity which was sometimes observed to precede a storm. Mr. J. SMITH seconded the amendment. It had been attributed to the Catholics as matter of blame, that they did not seem contented with the advantages the; already enjoyed. For his own part, he honour. ed them for that feeling, because it shewed that they entertained a proper sense of the value of that pos session they sought to enjoy. It was quite farsical now to talk of the danger of popery, when the Pope was a prisoner in the hands of Bonaparte ; and when the power of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in every country of Europe was utterly annihilated. As to Catholic ascendancy, it was a mere bug-bear, and ought not to be gravely talked of on a question upon which depended the safety and tranquillity of the Empire. When an Hon. Gentleman talked of a Ca tholic Ministry, and the danger of our eventually having a Catholic King upon the Throne, he thought it was casting an imputation upon the supreme au thority itself, because it involved the supposition that the Monarch would violate the Coronation Oath.— But it was utterly impossible this could everhappen, until the Act of Settlement itself should be entirely abrogated. Lord DARNLEY spoke at some length in favour of the amendment. He deprecated any interference of this kind with the deliberations of Parliament, who were alone competent to decide this important ques tion. He never could see upon what principle of reason or common sense the Catholics were eicluded from a participation in the advantages of that Constk tution, for which they had always *hewn themselves ready and willing to bleed. The Freeholders of Kent could not deny the merit of those Catholics who resided amongst them ; and he was persuaded, from the op portunity they must have had of observing the con• duct of the Irish soldiery quartered in .their county, they would admit that a more orderly or quiet set of men were not to be found in any part of his Majesty's dominions. As to danger from the Papal authority, he saw none whatever. Where could be the danger, when the unfortunate Pope was now confined at Fon tainbleau, in Bonaparte's menagerie of wild beasts ? ( 4 iJugb.) Sir W. GEARY then addressed the Meeting—he professed himself willing to extend to the Catholics every necessary religious toleration ; but in a consti tutional point id view, and as a lover of that cause in which Russell bled, he must oppose their admis sion to an unlimited shate in the political power of the country. Sir E. KNATCHBULL also avowed himself a deter- Mined opposer of what were called Catholic claims. Colonel CALCAMIT, in a speech of considerable length, 'supported the amendment. After some further desultory debate, the amend. ment was negatived by the chew of hands ; there ap pearing, however, to be a very considerable number of votes in its favour, the original question was then put t and carried under ;he same circumstances ? It was then agreed, that t*e Petition should be pre sented to the louse of Lord; by Lord Ca.mden ) and No Ike Commons by the County Members. ?~! JGIMEMARr PRO 6b.

DRESDEN, JANUARY 22. ' It is in contemplation to establish in the kingdom of Saxony, (with the exception of the Lusactins,) a ;new system of taxation, which will be more cqui• table, as every one will be rated according to the value of his possessions. In conformity with this sys tem, in all the provinces a survey will be taken of 'the landed estates, with an account of their value, produce, and the buildings thereon. In doubtful cases the owners will be examined upoit oath, their lands will be measured, and their cattle counted. In the towns, the value of the houses will be estimated from the number of stories. STUTGARE;T, JANUARY 18. In order to defray the very heavy and extraordi nary expences incurred by our.military preparations, and which existing circumstances have rendered ne cessary, his Majesty has established a general impost upon income, so well arranged, that it will affect people of property only. FRANKFORT, JANUARY at We are informed, that several of the Sovereigns of the Rhenish Confederation, in order to manifest their attachment to those principles which can alone se. cure the peace and happiness of the Continent, have it in contemplation, not only to increase their contin gents now in the service of France, but to engage for the pay of the troops out of their own revenues du. ring a limited period. This, among other measures, would prove how fallacious are the hopes entertained by England of sowing disunion between the mem ben of this league and the French nation. BERLIN, •JANUARY 19. The Warsaw Gazette announces, that, posterior to the arrival of Marshal Macdonald at Tilsit, there was an affair at Tapio. On the 4th, the King of Naples had an action with the Russians near Mehlsach, in consequence of which the headquarters of the French were immediately transferred to Elblag, and afterwards to Marien werder. DANTZIC, JANUARY e. The two parks of artillery which had Leen forwar ded to the Niemen, have re-entered our arsenal, in which we have now more than 900 pieces of artil lery. We see every day set off field-equipages for the campaign. Those which the fortress can furnish exceed 300 pieces and 2000 carriages. Our arsenal is in the greatest activity ; they work day and night. --The General of artillery Lopin superintends the works personally. ZURICH, JANUARY 17. A circular from his Excellency the Landamman; dated the 11th instant, again calls the attention of the Cantonal Governments to the seizure of Spanish prisoners of war, who may have escaped into Switzer land. VIENNA, JANUARY 13. A new impost has been laid or. by Government. The wholesale merchants are divided into three classes; the first to pay 8000 florins, the second 1500, and third 500. ST. MALO, JANUARY 17. Yesterday evening arrived in our roads the Eng lish brig the Ann and Jean Rag of truce, with 99 sick prisoners and two females. This vessel, which left Chatham for Morlaix, with only five or six days provisions, kept the sea 21 days, not daring to make any land on account of the thic k fogs which prevailed all the time. Six of the men whom she - was convey. ing to France died of absolute want on the passage, ' and those that have been landed are so emaciated, that they are scarcely expected to recover. CONSTANTINOPLE, DECEMBER IS. Ilikoghlou, who had rebelled against the Grand Seignior, and shut himself up in Silistria, has quitted that fortress, and taken refuge with the Russians. The Grand Seignior daily takes measures to re possess himself of his just authority. This is the grand purpose of his system of severity. He has de stroyed the Moruzzio, whose influence had frequently governed the determinations of the Divan ; and no other family can acquire the same ascendancy. Dconiumt 20.—We have intelligence from Cairo of the 2d of October, Communicating the agreelble information of the capture of Safra and Dehediecle, taken from the Wechabites by the troops under the orders of Jussum Pacha, Governor of Egypt. Abu Scidid, who brought this news, is one of the most considerable Arab Chiefs of this Government; by his influence with his countrymen, he persuadeil great numbers to abandon the cause of the Wechabites, and foil* thew into a corps of 0000 tusp. With this teem ma a part of the zgypdan cavalry, obtained possession, by stratagem, of an import ant defile, through which the road to Medina lies ; th e troops stationed there flying without making the least resistance. Upon this success, Jussum Pacha ad, vanced with the Ottoman army, and fixed his head. quarters about twelve leagues from the defile, um he should receive reinforcemenu from Jembo ; while the Arab legion, the road being open, advanced qui t to the walls of Medina, the Wechabite garrison which does not exceed 1200 men. The dese rt i on the Arabs is attributed to the failure of provision s the enemy's camp. The reduction of the holy cities of Medina and Mecca is now believed to be certain, and continued discharges of artillery at Cairo , nounced the public joy. Ebu Seidid has been pre.. sented with a superb pelisse of honour, and received likewise three villages. LISBON PAPERS. MADRID, DECEMBER 27: Oa the 19th and 20th instant, more tha' two him. dred French perished at Guadarama, oat of 2000 vif came from Valladolid with Drouet, in consequence of a great storm and snow. ALICA.NT, JANUARY se The Commandant of a Guerilla party, Senor Ne. bot, a monk, having organized in the course of a fee► months 2500 infantry, and 500 horse (lancers), tween P alencia and Tortosa, is now in Suchet's rear , The Governor of Valencia being informed of t 1:• ordered him to be pursued ; but this gallant Corn mandant attacked and routed the party sent to pt. sue him, took three convoys, two pieces of artillery which had been spiked, and 500 men.—a great nun ber were killed. All the country which this Nebi occupies,has only paid to the enemy the first third the contribution. In short, he is• the terror of enemy, who in bis Gazettes speaks of him with , utmost respect. This Commandant has also placed officers at proper places to collect the contributions ordered by the legitimate Government, formed ma. gazines, manufactories for casting balls, repairing r arms, &c. and prepared every thing requisite for preservation of his party. More than .500 French , all ranks have deserted to his division. Hehasseveral times dispersed the spurious Spaniards, and rigo rously persecutes them. He has formed a partii. Junta, composed of determined patriots, and adopted other measures of order and precaution. TRUXILLO, JANUARY 1. They write from Madrid, that Souk has recei orders from Bonaparte to proceed to France with forty thousand Vandals ; some accounts state that he mands sixty thousand. By private intelligence know that Soult received in Toledo, where he had head-quarters, an official dispatch from Joseph, march on the 11th or 12th of January, with his troops for Cuenca. We are ignorant whether Soult will leave garrisons upon the Tag us ; the last accounts state that he was already in &timid. The partisan Chaleco lately made 150 prisoners..., We are assured that Duran has taken the fortress '- Jana, in Arragon. BANKS OF THE DOURO, AANUARY 14. All the French who were cantoned on the right the Ezla have abandoned that river, and taken direction of Valladolid. In Zamora they have a very trifling garrison. A corps of cavalry, belonging • the 6th army, bas arrived at Benevente. OVIEDO, JANUARY 13. The army of Portugal occupies Castile to the suerga. Carrion, and Saldanha, and is distributed the following manner :—ln Salamanca, the first divi. sion or vanguard of the army ; in Toro, the thir with a division of 'dragoons ; in Valladolid, its neigh. bourhood, and BabilafuWte, the second,'fifth, and sixth, with the light cavalry and lancers ; from latter are detached forces to protect the convoys and couriers which depart for Burgos. In Plasencia and its province is the fourth division ; its detachment' do not on the one side pass the Pisuerga, nor on other Leon, and is distributed as follows :—Paleni 1200 men ; Carrion, 700, with two pieces of artillery San Terlas, 600; Saldanha, 1200; Santa Olalla and Villa Luenga, - 700; having constructed redoubt: the entrances of all these places. In Sahagun Oar, are 500 infantry. Hitherto they have made no tempt against the Asturias. It is said, that a new General will arrive to command the said troops; he does not bring any. TOLEDO, DECEMEER 91. They talk of the retreat Qf our assaysins towards the Ebro ; but we suspect that this report is one the many wicked stratagems they invent to accoas• plish their iniquitous designs. THE EVENING STAR. LONDQN. womb .••••m/P MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1813. Since Saturday, some Frinch;Dutch, and German Papers, have been received. The Paris Papers filled with speculations deduced from historical docu ments on the effects of a Regency in France. Hence it has been inferred, that the Concordat issued by - Pope at Fontainbleau contained an approval of divorce from Jomeams, of the subsequent marriage with MARIA Lours*, and a solemn declaration of legitimacy of the King of Rome. Upon these monstrations of the Papal acquiescence to the new dynasty, it is presumed that one of the first acts the Legislative Body, at its meeting, would be order for the coronation of the young King of Road and the appointment of a Regency during his non. age. This would leave BONAPARTE at perfect liberty to continue his ferocious career among the nations Europe, aqd he might by these means secure the sill jection of the Frenth people to his tyranny, even amid any future reverses of fortune. The same let tern which hazard the above conjectures assert, rh preparations to take the field in spring are makir by BONArARTR, in downright earnest : his chief tention was directed to the equipment of cavalry.
