When the harouche nriired at the Inn, Mr. Rant aildrcssed the crowd at considerable length, after which Sir Charles W ol 'miry appeared in the balcony and briefly addressed the popu 110e. Mr. Hunt was then entertained by his friends at break fast. NORTIIMilltli rose, and Eight that he wished to let the patty present ace the flagon and salver sent from the friends of liberty in the county, and which were to be presented to Mr. Ham, at the dinner that day at Glastonbury, as a tribute to him for his manly tnditical conduct. He was certain that Mr. Hunt was happy, as well from his own conscience as their approba tion-11).e flagon and salver, with the inscriptions upon it, seer. then Manned round the room, and exhibited by Sir Chas. IVoilseley at the window to the crowd in front of the Inn.}— Alto - a short interval. Mr. MUNI requested the notice of the Meeting to what lie VMS about to any—" I am, Gentlemen, you know, a mail of busine.s.

After !tune observations from Sir Charles Wokeley, Mr. Itiorthmore and Mr. Flow. they w nt into the baruu•lie, and the prockssion art not for Glastonbury, where it arrived at 4 o'clock. GLksToNtiraY, Fora O'CLOCK.—The liberation of Mr. Hunt seems to have made a greater !WHIM I iiii here than at clicster. The people who have Collected are of a better class, and many parlirs of well dressed women, escorted by their friends have gone forwattl to meet the procesdon. The hills surrounding the town are sionerous groups were stationed upon them. The belle of the Churches were eutfered to he rung, after sonic contest among the authorities. The proeeasi.•n as it came along received a great increase of strength, and as it entered here there were at least :WOO pro lite with it, extending the whole length of the town, and fur some distanoe on the flclicster road. Mr. Hunt afterwards proceeded on his arrival to a room in the inn, where be held a Court beet, and the several °dicers were sworn in with much ceremony, and Mr. Hunt delivered ut suit a bl e s p eec h on th e occasion, to the constables of the Ilu n lred. Al six o'clock about simy Gentlemen sat down to dinner, in the 'argent room of the George him Mr. Nortliniore was called to the Chair ; and on his right 31r. Hunt wit. placed. When the cloth was removed the Chairman gave th,. first toast, which was drink with aeclaniation— The People, the source of legitimate power." A letter from Mr. James 31aun, the reformer of Leeds, in closing an Addreas from that town, was read, and the Adslreas presented by Mr. Northmore to Mr. Hunt.

The following toasts acne then successively given from the accompanied by brief esplanations alay the %% bags have the sense to give up their Boroughs." The Cliaiiman observed that, when he started for Exeter, the two other candidates, who were ItIVIRIs opposed, unit e d against him, as if lie were Belzebtili. A W hig was, be said a hypo ciile, and a Tory a duevuright lhi f ! The height's of 3lator Cartwright, Alderman Wood, and Mr. %cooler ; the sutfering Reformers, Messrs.

Four Candidates are at present mentioned fur the representation of the University of Cambridge, the Speaker of the House olCommons, the Solicitor General, Mr. Scarlett, and Mr. Spencer l'erceval -- Should the Speaker accept the Chiltern Hundreds, he cannot, we pretiume, act as Speaker without being re-elected to the Lituatiun. The ease will be rather novel. THE NATIONAL REGISTER LETIER FROM MR. BOIVRING TO AM. CANNL%U. lloulngne-prison, Oct. 24. SlR,—Afler 13 days of solitary and severe cuidinement, an permitted to address you I have been shut oat from al, communication with may Government, my lawyer or physician' with my family or friends. During this imprisonment an at tempt was made to remote sue to Paris by a wart ant Non, the judges there. 1 resisted, and resisted succeasfully, under the protection of one of the articles of the code de pi ocedurs (the 100th), which there was every disposition to violate. It would appear the Government begins to feel that it has been too rash and arbitrary in its proceedings. 1 have under gone another long examination—secret as usual—and even the presence of an interpreter denied, thongh formally demanded. Four pages of interrogatories bad been cent from Paris. Not on e question among them had a reference to that " revolutionary correspondence" of which I wen suspected of being the bearer, and Olt that plea, and that plea alone, delivered over to the va rious acts of outrage of which I have been, and still am, the victim. 1 again inquired wish a list I was charged, and de manded the ct of accusation. None exists : the ground pre viously taken even seems abandoned. Some justification, some plea of justification, would of coarse be expcchd by you, and a long series of questions have been sent in eonsequrnce ; sonic of which they deemed might possibly lead to a confession or a detection, which might palliate their arbitrary proceedings. They suspect Inc (they say ), though they ve n ture not to accuse me, as the process verbal will show, of being engages' in a plot with individuals (whom 1 have never seen) arranged iss London (from whence 1 was far distant at the time) to rescue from prison (though I never heard even of the place of their confine ment) the young men who who were lately executed Mr politi cal offences:, (wins not au individual of whom had I ever any the slightest intercourse.) They suspect me of furnishing the pecuniary IIIC:1113 for liar escape, thou,;ll not 1,01)0 francs have passed through my Monis since 1 have been in this country The charge is as visionary as it is falise---it is false in the ag gregate, it is false in every individual detail ; hut to support it, the whole machinery of moral torture (for the due operation of wLich a fortnight's sufferings are supposed to have prepared thy victim) is put in action, and it is expected to entity some new fact by a snare so widely and so artificially laid. Sir, it is front this monstrous system of inquisitorial manning and %inhme that I appeal to my country and lit you. Abandoned to the re sources of my own mind—a mod stronger, however; than all the strength of tyranny-1 have hitherto had to struggle with every thing that elatiliee and oppression coo d direct spinal sue abandoned, among criminals, without so much as a single pre samption, however weak of crime. It cannot surely be tolerated, that a man, and an Englishman, is to be bunted from suspicion to suspicion —each baseless or absurd—till aontethitig. suall be found, or something shall be fancied, which may serve to veil the origin I acts. If so, the olds of suspicious despotism are gained—the sufferings are inflicted—the innocent object of dislike is buried in a disesteem. This, Sir, cannot be done with impunity. I Imre confidence in the dignity of your character: I have confidence iii the high spirit uf my country. Some redress will be demanded for the past—some security will be untamed for the future. I have the honour to be, with every sentiment of respect, Sir, your most obedient and moist I ble sett ant, (Signed) JOIIN BOVI RING.
