THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Mr. Harvey made a long speech, in which he-recommended enure modificatien in the mode of collecting tithes, which, as they were at present rated, were rather the one-sixth than the one-tenth of a man's property. He censured the inexpediency of the pre-ent meeting, and was apprehensive that the enemies of Reforin might think they had obtained a triumph when all the effort ,, of the friends of Reform could only, after twelve months exertion, muster a force of two hundred freeholders. Mr. Benjamin Flower censured in the strongest terms the mischievous tendency of the irrelevant and incoherent rhapsody they had just bea . d. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Harvey) had been talking nothing for the last hour, but he had continued in the conr,e of that hour's talk to do as much mischief to the cause of Reform as lay within the compass of his very slender talents. Mr. Burgoyne, in adverting to sonic personal allusions made by Mr. Harvey, begeed le,ive to tell that lion. Gentleman that wit was dangerous when unaccompanied eitlit.r by ergument or principle. :Mr. Harvey said In exp!anati - ei that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Burgoyne) (eight to begin by reforming himself, and that if his (11r. H. s) s r ecch had no other effect, it had at least that of opening the veliiic eye to the speech of the Gentleman below him (Mr. Flower) the blooming display of so beautifn/ a Mr. Burgoyne proposed a Petition to Parliament, which was an echo Of the Resolutions, and which was ordered to he pre sented to the House of t..onemons by Mr. Honeywond and Admiral I larvey. The usual thanks weie voted to Mr. Du Cans for his con.luct in the Chair, and the meeting broke up at tour o'clock. Part of the comermy, to the number of about fifty, dined afrerwarde at the IThck Boy Inn, when Montague Burgoyne, Esq. was called to the Ciiair, and the following toasts given:— '1 he King, and his speedy recovery—The Prince Regent— Success to a Constitutional facie ut Reform in Parliament —The Navy—The Rev.

SATLVDA Y'S LONDON G'AZETTZ. ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, AUGUST 1Q• Extract of a Letter from Captain Brisbane of his Majesty's ship the Belle Poole, ad tressed to Captain Rowley of the Eagle, the Senior Officer in the Adriatic, and transmitted by Admiral Sir Charles Cotton to John Wilson Croker, Esq. His Majesty's ship Belle Poule at Sea, Adriatic, May 6, 1811. I have the honour to inform you, that on the 4th instant, being off the coast of Istria, with his Majesty's ship Alceste in corn pany, at ten A.M. we discovered and chased a large French brig of war of eighteen guns, which shortly afterwards fell into the small harbour of Parenza. Having received intelligence that such a vessel might be ex pected conveying supplies of all descriptions for the French fri gates at Ragusa, which had escaped from the recent gallant ac tion off Lissa, I felt chat no means should be lett untried to Cap ture or destroy her. After reconnoitring her position, and con sulting the pilots, a'id a most irttelligent officer I had on board, Mr. Thomas Boardman . , acting. Lieutenant uf the Acorn, whc from Iris general local knowledge of the Atli-jade, bad handsome- . ly volunteered his services for the iruize, I foUnd it was imprac ticable for the frigates to enter the harhpur, there being only fifteen leer water in it, but that the brig might nevertheless be cannonaded with effect where she was then lying; accordingly at three P. M. both ships.stood in, within a cable% length of the rocks at the entzance of the harbour, 'and opetied an animated fire on her, and' 'a battery under which she lay, anti in an hour obliged hyr to haul ashore under the town out of reach of our shot. The ships were frequently hulled by the battery; but sustained no other damage but what could be immediately repaired. All further eflorts from the frigates being perfectly useless, I determined on taking possession of an island in the mouth of the harbour, and within musket-shot of the town.— The ships were anchored, after the close of the day, about four miles from the shore, and about eleven o'clock the same night ; two hundred seamen, and all the marines, went under the oz- BANKRUPTCIES ENLARGED.
