tea antler the Act, and took it out of the Coatis I We r. G,oDLAtCE supported the address, in gtt ani plc d and energetic speech. Alluding to what had Hien from Mr. Montague respecting the present being a n ill-timed address, that was an old and stale trick v-ith the friends of Ministers at all public meetings. What had fallen from Mr. Deane on the subject of the assessed taxes, proved that no complaint could be ill timed. Much had been said of our distant cala mities, and he trusted the effect of the present ad dress would be to induce his Majesty to do his utmost to c h ec k corruption in the Parliament, and red ress t he grievances of the subject. With respect to the assessed taxes he could say from his own experience as a Commissioner under the Act, that the Inspectors and Surveyors had arrogated so much power, and be hoved so insolently, that he had ceased to act as a Commissioner of Taxes while the oppressive and arbi trary clauses were in force. Mr. SILLS, of Abingdon, said a few words in sup- , port of the address. Lord FOLKsTnNE shortly replied. He called upon t he Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Montague) to tell the meeting who the men were who were actuated by m otives of ambition and avarice in calling the present meeting? (Name! name! resounded from all parts, but Mr. Montague made no answer.) His Lordship then read a resolution of the 'dense of Commorvon . 1680, expelling a Member for calling in questionhe right of the subjects t.. petition. The question being then caged for, the Stumm? desired those who meant to vote for the-Address to hold up their hands, when all except a very small D umber voted in this manner, and loud acclamations resounded through the Hall. Three or four only held up their hands for Mr. Montague's motion a gainst the Address. 3fr C. DUNDAs then rose, and stated, that it gave him much satisfaction to declare, that he perfectly coir.c;ded with the sentiments of the Address that bad been voted. On the subject of the grievances under the Assessed Tax Act, he could assure the Meeting, that he would be happy to listen to any complaints that were made to him, and would cheer fully bring them before Parliament. This speech. eras received with great applause. It was then resolved that the Address and the Answer when received, should be inserted in t' - ,e County, and in all the London Newspapers, and s.l.e meeting broke up about five o'clock 'FILE EVENING STAR.

" The war already kindled among the Members of the Junta has not, as might be easily foreseen, colt. fined itself to that body. The populace of Seville, among whont England has caused guineas to bedis tributed by handfuls as the price of a fee, ports and a few vessels of which the wishes to get possession, have mingled their excesses with the disorders usually incident to anarchical assemblies. We accordingly learn, that blood has flowed in the streets of Seville ; and that several Members of the Junta have become the victims of the delirium in which they themselves participated. " The Cabinet of London relies more than ever upon Romano ; and its Generals promise t• support him, but at a distance, and with their accustomed prudence—provided always that the reinforcements expected from France do not too soon disconcert these new combinations.

Tim FROST.—SO intense was the frost on Sunday night and ye,terday, that the ponds in the vicinity of town were frozen Aver, and the ice in some places was upwards of two inches thick. The Canal in St. James's Park was also covered with ice, sufficiently strong to bear the weight of several persons who ven tured across, with more hardihood than prudence, which in one instAnce was nearly attended by a fatal catastrophe. A young man, who saw many persons on the ice opposite the price, got over the railing, at the end next the Horse Guards, and imprudently ventured a few yards on the Canal ; but scarcely had he got nut of reach of the shore, when his weight burst through, and he was instantly immersed to his chin in water. F ton itely he had not advanced suf ficiently towards the centre, or he must inevitably have been drowned. As it was, his hands and face. were much cut, and on reaching the bank, which ha v. 33 only enabhxi to do by breaking the ice te")-apii proached, he exhibited a most, deplorable figure, and left the park with his curiosity fully gratified as to the strength of the glassy ssarTace.
