there could be little hope that aiy endeavotir on the part of his Hon. Colleague and himself, to bring Mk ilisters to justice, would he attended with success. 13KNEow withdrew his motion. Sir F. llunovir was glad the motion had been withdrawn, for had they passed such a Resolution un.ler such circn um:laces, it would not only have been utmly ineffectual, but lit every point of view unad vise.l and childish. If the People of England, how cvot, felt as the Electors of Westminster did on this subject, and they chose to Petition Parliament to inircach Ministers, that mode of proceeding might, by possibility, have some practical effect; but a mere Resoliit on passed at a Public Meeting, however re spectable, convened for another purpose, would not only b..• very inexpedient and ineffectual, but childish, liable to ridicule. _ _ The Thanks of the Mceting were then voted to i'.nrutm Moam-, Esq. the High Bailiff, for Ids , !li:artial conduct in the Chair, and the Meeting 7::ca quietly separated. MEETING AT LEEDS. LEEDS, Dec. 4.—Our Mayor hating refused to call a Meeting, the Reqnisitionists called a Meeting themselves for twelve o'clock, which took place in the Cloth Hall-yard this day, and was numerously a:t v.ied. Mr. RAwsos was called to the Chair, ;tar': addressed the Meeting in an able and eloquent s7•cr.ch, and was followed by Mr. CLAPHAM, who read the Resolutions, which were seconded by the Rev. Mr. HiITTON. Mr. BA1:48 made a very irapresslve speech, which was received with marked ;mprobation ; as were all that went before: Mr. MASON followed, who also spoke well. The Reso.. lations were put and cauied with approbation. They congratulate her Majesty on her triumph over her enemies. and declare their disapprobation of a re trospective law, and of the conduct of Ministers to wards her Majesty since her victory. Thanks were voted to Lords Grey and Erskine for their support, and all who votcd agaiast the Bill ; with Messrs. Brougham and Denman for their abledefence.— There might be about 7,000 persons, or upwards, .ssembled, who manifested the utmost decorum. Mr. iina - :sitAw opposed the Address to Earl Grey, and s seconded by Mr.Wisout, but they were received with great disapprobation by the Meeting. Messrs. WAeo and BAINS then spoke, desiring the Meeting of to be carried away by what had been advanced. Nr. \\JNOUP again attempted to speak, but could 7.,0t get a hearing. The -Meeting would have been much more numerous but for the late Act, as the villages of Hunslet and Holbeck, which are a part of cie town, with Arrnley, Bramley, &c. whose popu lati,-T. amounts to 16,000, did not attend, for fear of breaking the laws. The Resolutions and Address are to be signed by the Chairman, in behalf of the :Meeting, and presented to her Majesty by the Hon. Keypel graven and Sir William Gell. MEEIING AT M.USCH.ESTZR. A most numerous Meeting was held on Monday, in the Manor Court-room, in High-streit, by the ' liberal permission of Sir OSWALD MOSELEY. A tem pnrary hustings having been erected in a suitable part of that commodious room, for the reception of the Committee of those persons who meant to deliver their sentiments, and who stationed themselves ac cordingly, at balt-past ten o'clock the business of the day commenced, when Mr. Barren was called to the Chair by universal concurrence. He stated to them the occasion of their assembling; gave circum ttantial minutes, of all that transpired in their com munications with the Authorities of the town (eliding in the failure of obtaining the desideratum of official sanction); and enneuted all present to conduct them selves with that firmness, but moderation of de meanour, that might convey to the minds of future Pnblic Officers, impressions of a favourable tendency. Ur. Thomas Bully brought forward the first Reso lution Mr. JOHN HARRISON, the second ; and Mr. JOHN EDWARD TAYLOR, Mr. Rtorain POTTER, and ethers, the remainder ; which passed with acdama f.ons. They were chiefly expressive of the sense the Meeting entertained of the late measures taken .:;arist her MAJESTY—their thorough conviction of ter innocence—their congratulations upon her suc cess—and their decided disapprobation of the Bill of Pains and Penalties, &c. Separate Addresses to his 14/Llnm and the QUEEN were then read to the Meet ing, and voted unanimously. The Meeting dissolved at two o'clock, and separated full of good humour. 7 .4 r. VANDEWHOFF Cook his farewell of the Liver pccl audience on Saturday last, in the character of Peospero, in-the Tempest, and Lord Henry, in the Interluie of Personation, previous to his appearance ca Saturday, at Covent-Gardee, in the arduous cha racter of Lear. The King's Scholars at Westminster gave yester day the first representation of their yearly Play, in the Dormitory of the College. The Play this year is the Phormio of TERENCE, which, perhaps, is less .a:dactic than the others of his Comedies, and affords tewer of those sentiments which are the clap-irapt of a learned audience. The representation was, how ever, received throughout with deserved favour.— like acting, on such an occasion, it is not customary or fair to submit to a severe criticism, though it would bear it quite as well as much to which it is usually applied, especially when fair allowance is made tin the difficulties of representing the usages of ancient society in modern costume, and on a limited stage. There was at least the satisfaction of, witnessing what we look for in vain in more osten tatious Theatres—something like uniform correctness a*:4l good taste. The restraint and the infirmities of age are easily affected, and the strength of the West minster Scholars is in their old characters. The scene between the three Advocaii and Demipho—the spi riti:d sketch of that picture of professional advice which is exaggerated into such on admirable cari cature, and turned against the Physicians, in the dimwtr Medici* of Mouser., was given so as to police no mean theatrical effect. Among the cha mfers particularly distinguished were Demipko (we inneve, Mr. Dolmen), Phenyl) (Stem t), Sophona, and Nauzistrata. Geis, the servant, and, as far as it went, the part of the /coo, whom -se may not de cently translate to the unlearned reader, were played Tlth spirit. The declamation, of course, was through datinct and correct. -I °C miii..- THE - AVENWO 'STA: LONDON. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1820. THE FUNDS. PRICE OP STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK : 3 per Cent.

The friends of the Qutsw hare beheld, with pro- per feelings, the exertions made by her enemies to get a little white-washing effected for her persecutors) under the name and garb of loyal Addresses to the lEnco. But the time is gone by for effecting what was formerly so easy—the marking of men as dis loyal, who will not submit to have their fidelity mea- sured by this kind of standard, erected by the corrupt and venal, under the pretext of being the exclusively loyal. In times not yet long past, petty Corporation tyrants, and self-elected Churchwardens, by merely raising this powerful talisman, could ensure acquies cence, because the penalty was a mai ked excommuni cation, not merely from any participation in such fa vours and benefits as they could not only confer, but actually create to cement their - anti•social bands, but from the common protection which the laws owe equally to every subject of the KING. But the times are much changed, to the great regret 'of these ultra- loyal men. The true value of these Addresses is fully known, as well as their object, and both are treated with equal contempt and scorn throughout the Kingdom. Of what value can Addresses be that are manufactured in the dark, by men whose opinions and influence are not now of the weight of one feather,were the Addresses even honest as to their object? But what is their real object, both with the prime movers, and with those who follow the old routine of doing whatever they are bid--whatever they can, by their own sagacity, discover may prove acceptable to their chop-fallen idols? The prime movers seek Addresses to the KING —yes, to the KING, forsooth ! but they count them all as Addresses to Ministers as calculated to elevate their characters and varnish over their misdoings in the share they had in the late measures against the QOM CONSORT of ENGLAND :—and the manufac turers of these exclusively-loyal Addresses so far overrate their present importance, as really to believe that their exertions may have some influence in keep ing the men in power to whom they have so long paid homage, and by whom so many of them have been appointed to collect taxes, or otherwise (either in their own persons, or in those of their relatives) benefited by a partition in their expenditure. These quondam great wen in little communities, (if the folly originates with there) have, on the present occasion, committed a most egregious blunder; for none but fools ever seek a contest, merely to expose their own imbecility—to give evidence to all the world into what a state of degradation and contempt they have fallen 1 Who but idiots could ever have conceived the idea of putting forth their impotent labours to be weighed in the balance against the vo luntary, cheerful, loyal, heart-felt congratulations pouring out at the same time in the numerous un bought, uninfluenced, uncontaminated, and honest Addresses, which are sent, and sending daily, from every City, Town, and Village, in the King dom, to the persecuted, much-injured, but victorious and triumphant QUEEN, whom it was sought, by conspiracy and perjury, to sacrifice to the most hate ful and detestable malignity ! We hear fsotn every quarter (as our Readers may see from our daily co- 1 lumns) of the sincere joy experienced throughout the empire by ninety-nine out of every hundred of i the people, at the late signal defeat of her MAJESTY'S enemies ; and accounts, nearly as numerous, inform tts of the loyal Addreses preparing to be sent to that Illustrious but persecuted female; and we re joice that it is so, for the very efforts now making by her enemies, spew at least the use that would have been made by them of the silence of the people of England on an occasion that threatened the sub version of our liberties, by contaminating the stream of English jurisprudence. Let ttie People continue, as they have done, to shut the mouths of the enemies, net merely of the Queen, but of the KING and of the Nation, by a due regard to the laws in every proceeding regarding the Meet ings for addressing her MAJESTY, and respecting the Addresses themselves. Let nothing disrespect ful, or even inconsistent with the strictest pro priety, be foisted into these effusions : and we beg to state, for the information of those who are less acquainted with forms than those who, on ail make able occasions, employ themselves in addressing Ministers under the name of the KENO, that, in Ad ,dresses to the Queen, it is incorrect in the Addressers to say, " Your Mn.rasTy's loyal subjects," fur the Quern herself is a,seOeci—a high one; to be sure, and entitled to high prerogatives—but still only afellou. suljrct with those who ale addressing the Consort of lIIGE Private letters from Troppau, of the 94th ult. state vrittr satue confidetue, tit the deliberations of; the Congresso iiignatchi hate had $ pacific tenni: nation, cor.trstry to the viciis.of Austria, which,it,is Stated; Was strenuous In its demonstrations that the Changes which have •taken place in the kingcliith or Naples,'Stc: loudly tilted for the interpositieti Of the Holy Allies, to prevent the spread of principles to dangerOus t o kgitima4, i.nd.threatening the sahlrei i sion of established usageti., The other parties, hoiv ever, on well considering the present state of Europe, and, as we Verily believe, the exhansted state of the British finances, and the thsOlute imposiibility of the English Ministry yew ring, in any Way, to commit this country, " under the present circumstances, could .not, it is said, be brought to acquiesce in tho hostile views of Austria towards Naples, as daMenii ing the, co-operation of the Holy Allies." We are' inclined to think there is some truth in these accounts; but we do not draw from them the Sartre inference; that others may think they warrant. Austria May still proceed alone in her crusade against Liberty—, against the independence of other Stag::.-414 has merely to estimate what are the adequacy of her re sources, and what may be the effect's that may result to her own Italia* States. We have to add, that a Letter has been received this - morning by a respectable Houie in the City, dated Genoa, November 25. At that date it was re ported there that Austria had declared war against Naples, and that the Austrian troops crossed the Po .an the 20th ult. The Paris Papers of Saturday, Sunday, and Mon d. y, arrived this forenoon. The Ultras appear to have now got the KING en tirely into their hands. Viscount CHATRAUBRIAND, so well known as the literary champion of that party, has been appointed Ambassador to the Court of Berlin. The trial of . Colonel Duvergier and others, for the disturbances in June, has been suspended till the en suing Sessions, owing to the extreme illness of Du vergier rendering him at present wholly unfit to take any farther share in the proceedings. The humane ness of this proceeding does honour to the character of French justice. Lieutenant-General WORONZOW, first Aid-de-camp to the Emperor of RUSSIA, has arrived at Paris from Troppau. The circumstance has given rise to an expectation that a Manifesto will soon make its ap pearance, explanatory of the Resolutions of the Con-, gress at Troppau. The KING of SPAIN has fulfilled his promise of returning to Madrid. He made his public entry, amid great rejoicings, on the 21st ult. His presence in the capital is said to have restored genkral .tran quill* and confidence. French Five per Cents.—Saturday, 77fr. 45c. REPORTED DEATH OF CHRISTOPHE. We have received this forenoon a series of. Balti more Papers, which not only confirm the fact of an extensive defection having taken place in the tronpi of CHRISTOPHE, but also the'ramour of his death.— He is said to have perished by his own hands. If these accounts are correct (of which we are still not without some suspicion) :the Monarchy of Hayti may, -we presume, be considered as having expired with CHRISTOPHE. The President BOYER, having no army to oppose him, must soon succeed in bring ing the whole country over to the system of Repub lican Government. The following account is from a Baltimore Paper of the 6th November: g e SUICIDIC OF AN EMPEROR.—HENRY I. Emperor of Hayti (CiratsvoPHE), committed suicide ten days before the sailing of the Barracoa from Gonaives. He had Wen stricken with a paralytic stroke in July,' the army took advantage of it, and revolted ; five regiments were ordered by CHRISTOPHI to march against the insurgents; when assembled they refused, and turned their arms against him. These are the leading facts as yet communicated." Yesterday, at three o'clock, his MAizarr held a Court, at his Palace, Pall-Mall, which was attended by The Archbishop of Dublin, the Lord Chancellor, the Chan cellor of the &chequer, the Secretaries of State for the Home,' Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the of the Ordnance, the President of the Board of Trade, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the Recorder of Londoss,ase. His Grace the Archbishop of DUBLIN was intro duced to the KING by Lord Viscount Sinesotrru, to kiss hands upon his being appointed to the Primacy of Ireland. The Earl of MAUMEE/ET was also in troduced to the KING by Lord Viscount SIDHOUTIy to deliver the Order of the Bath worn by the late Earl of MALMESBURY. His MAJESTY gave audiences to the Dyke of WELLINGTON, the Loan Cuetscm.Lost, Viscount SIDMOUTH, and ViscQunt CASTLEREAGH. It is said that her Mummy wrote a letter to the KING, in her own hand-writing, on Sunday, which' was forwarded to Lord SIDMoUTH, praying his MA JSSTIC to spare the life of Sarah Price, who was me cuted on Tuesday last. • Lord ALYANLEY is among the receqt arrivals. at Paris. The Countess of l a tvicarom. is still suffering from the effects of her long and severe indisposition ; apd is wholly confiiked to her own apartment at Coombe Wood. BSAWICIE-OPOIN•TiItE ED ELBCTION.
