A meeti►►g took place at the Crown and Anchor on Mon. day, for the above purpose ; Sir Francis Burdett in the Chair. _ _ The Chairman having opened the business by a short speech, Lord Cochrane stepped upon the table to propose a string of Resolutions, the purport of which, wets to deplote the fre quent Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Art: to deprecate the precipitancy with which the Suspension Act was hurried through the House of Commons; to mark the sense of the cruel manner in which persons apprehended by virtue of the Suspension had been treated, and to open a subscription for the Evanses, Benbow, and the other sufferers. In introduce log these, Lord Cochrane observed, that he was happy to see so numerons an assembly thus awake to the acts of Go vernment. Flail the same spirit anbnotrd France under its an. (dent Gorernment the despotism which oppressed the people would not have endured so long. Mr. Wooler seconded the resolutions which had been just submitted to their approbation. Sir Francis Burdett stated, that his (timid, Major Cart. aright, had Out been ahle to attend there that day ; but that he I n tl sent his mite to promote the object of the meeting; accompanied by a letter, which he begged to be read.— pplimse.) Mr. Cleary received the letter of the Honourable Baronet, and standitig on the table read it to the company. The writer began by maintaining that Parliament had not the power to suspend, at any time, or under any ciremnstai ces, the fiber ties of Englishmen. This assertion he did not make on the fact of the House of Commons not lit Mg the fair representa tion of the people, but on much broader grounds ; for although the House of Commons were the true representatives of the people, still they could have no authority to suspend their 1i... betties fur a single moment, because the people were a power greater than their delegatt•s. A set of inferior magistrates might as well attempt to suspend the power of the Court of King s Bench, and that Court in its turn might as well try to suspend the authority of the Parliament. As no power thee could suspend the higher power, so that of Parliament could not suspend the rights of the people. The only pretence for doing this was necessity, which was always the tyraut's plea .—a necessity which none of the men in power thought pro per to explain. The letter,which was very long, contained a variety of other arguments to the seine rift ct ; and before it was half read through, the company became impatient, and desired that the letter might be printed. This was assented to, and Mr. Cleary sat down, intimating to the company that their wish 'tumid be complied with. Sir F. Burdett now announced the wish of Mr. Johnstone, who was One of the sufferers ander the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Art, to addri as the meeting. Al r. Johnstone then stepped on the table,and stated himself to be John Johnstone, from Manchester. He was a mai ried man, and had three children living; he had buried four. He had long advocated the cause of Parliamentary Reform, and therefote thought he knew something of the subject. In October, Rile, he had attempted to address a meeting in Manchester, who were called to consider of the distressed state of the country. 1% hat he said on that cc_ casket happened to please the people ; and lie was afterwards solicited to go to Lancaster, to 1 orkshire, and to Stafford state, In order iu assist at mceting,s winch were culled for similar purposes. He went, in pul'Allallee Of the inv itat lees. and he spoke boldly his sentiments, lUr he had nu secrets at his heart. He was not afraid of speaking the truth, although perhaps it was not at all times vepedient to be thus explicit, truth s• big hecn, how,' s yr trien-tly, pronounced a tibia. On Sunday night, the 9th of Male'', in the last year, he Was fortably lied asleep, when he was alarmed by a loud kriocking at his door. Ou looking out of his window, he perceived 12 men, ahem- appearance and behaviour were equally discreditanie. could with ditficudy be per steeled to wait until his wile had dressed herself, in order to let them in. They refused to tt 11 who they were or what their business wait, contenting themselves with vociferating" epee the thaw!" • He was now about to make a statement which might be thought singular, but as he said before, he had nu secrets, and would openly tell the truth. He lind said he was a married man, and to please his as de, who lit rains alarmed at the desperadoes by ahem the house was sea. rouuded, be attempted to make his escape. lie, lees eve, knew he had noleipeol , necess, lint he %vase aline to give way to the wishes sit' one who Walt naturally deer to him. • lie to upon a wall, intending to jump into an adjoining yard, to which he saw a neighbour of his, who wo u ld, i.e d , have willingle given him a lodgiug, tie hold him e against the at mornilig. -•(latiehter.)--The HMO called out, " You rascal, it' . v.11.0'1111, over, I'll blow your brains out." Ile did jump over, in spite of this threat, and was immedi ately Stgllttil by three persons, tem of whale was the deputy 1:011.1a hit' of Manchester. The bawl. in under to shoa his as iddy his the sei vice e, which he was destined, behaved in the t ruffianly manner, and eeclaimed, " 1/41 — tailoring thief, we have got you sale at last." They then recoil ducted him to his house, ransacked his papers, and took every thing whirls could or could Hot excite suspicion. A iiiii g other thicgs tiny touts away was Volnes 's Ruins, which happeued accidentally to be in a draw er, an'd from the circumstance of the book being found undo r lock and Ley, it was the more likely to excite the suspicion °film men engaged in tills search. Ile was conveyed to the New Prison, where he was confined all night among twelve men who had been takes tip for vagrancy or ()fences of a criminal nature. Next morning he 'was reinoi ed to another apartment, lint was not allowed to semi home for either victuals or clothes, though his house was at a short distance front the gaol. He had a w ooden bedstead to lie nu without bedding, and a can of water was placed beside lulu, out of which he was told he might drink when h.• we, dry. With regard to food, he was confined to the 144 , 4 anowance of hall a •mall loaf of coarse In eati, and a bit ot cheese winch it was scandalous to oiler to any lIIJII. 011 the Tuesday following he was taken troth the New Prison in order to he conveyed to London, previous to which attempts were made to force irons on his kg., on which he wore bouts, such as were used for the worst of felons. This effort; winch 'as made by the afoiesaid depute consta . stable, gave him the greatest pain, and it was with the utmost relorimire time was allowed him to stud to his house fur a parr of slows. At length the shoes were brought, and he rilitalir II to a fellow 'utterer : lie travelled to London. (to his arrival he was comforted to told Bath-fields prison, where lie 51011116 s first night in the iiitirmar, Cuntaiaiug eight licdsl seven of which were orcupied persons latliourni4 under disease or insanity. Tho Governor of the prisuu bring in formed thy am‘t morning of the virctuustance, gave Wm itu FEB. 8. mediately a good bed and betiding, and behaved to him with all possible kindness and humanity. He had great pleasure in saying, that that Gentleman had conducted himself in a manner highly bononrable to himself during the whole period of his confinement us that prison. On the 15th of March he was carried to the Secretary of State's office to he examined. and Lord Sidmonth in cousequencc of information he had received, he felt it his ditty to issue a warrant fur has nppre 'tension, and that in cents quetsee of further information (but lie never said what that information was) he thought it his duty to detain him on suspicion of high Ireaeons-e(hear.)__ He (Mr. Johuston) then requested, that if lie wane to be con• fined it should be in the City of London, as be had several relations there. Lord Saimontli faitlifnliy promised that he should be confined in London as he wished. lint how did his Lordship keep his word ? To show how much his Lord. &sip was to be believed, however, he had only to state, that on the 10th of April lw was swain handcuffed to a brother suf ferer, and carried to Dorchester, from wheuce, on the 28th of the saute month, he was carried in like manner to Exeter Cast le.—(shasine, shanw,).—Here It was but justice to say that Mr. Brown, the gaoler of that place, behaved towards him with the utmost humanity, lamenting only that he had not the MOORS of making him 1111 l re comfortable. lie had only to add, when lie left the gaol, Mr. Brown gave bins 121. to hear his expenses home. It was not impossible that this gaoler will be the next 'weevil clisettesl.—(One of the assembly cried out," lie will he discharged fiom Isis oftice.")— He was the first who had been apprehended, and with the exception of the two Evanst s, and Mr. Benbow, he was the last alio had bet% discharges'. He regretted that lie had not, like the Evausses and Benbow, refused to bind himself to make his ap pearance. He then briefly stated the manner in which he was treated in the Court of king's Bench, and informed file com pany, that finding there appeared to be no further Wiriness for him, lie sent a letter to the Attorney Goitre' the day after his liberation, directing that worthy Gertleman to the Swan with Two Necks, Lail-lane, if' lie should have any oc casion for the presence of the ill-treated Johnstone, or those "Who were his companions in suffering. —He now begged leave to return thanks to the liononrable Chairman, Lord Folkestone, Lord Cochrane, and the other friends of the country, who sat in the Howe of Contmons,for having com pelled the Attorney-General to do his duty, by discharging the recogi.izauces altogether; an eveut which wo.uld taut have been brought alma but for esimptilson.--(Lund appl ao . e .)_ Whateve r might be the consequence of the line olcondurt he (Mr. Johnstone) should purr. ue, Ise was determined to sup_ port with his last breath the cause that had brought him to Ilse dungeon. He relied upon the power of the people as a protection more than enough to shield front the oppression of those by whom he had been so tyrannically visited.—(Loud nliplanaes.) Mr. John Ihiguley, one of the sufferers from Manchester, next entered into a similar detail. He stated, that during his confinement in Hursemoneerlane gaol, from the 10th of March *ill the 10th of April, he did not pull off his clothes, for the irons which the gaoler hail relnetlantly placed on him rendered so necessary a change impossible. Ciens being brought before the Privy Council, where he expected that all the es idenee would he assetlibled, he NM Lord Sislinouth at the head of the table,sitting with the gra% ity of a Bishop ; and was jai/I'llll4llly that he was sorry to commit so young a man, but lie was obliged to do so for no less u crime than high treason. And on bring asked what the evidence consisted of, Isis Lordship replied, alter a pansy, " That is confidential." He concluded by observing, that a ith tagaid to return, Isis Majesty's Ministers had, by their pro..ecille gs made the people of Nlancliester ten thousand times some anxious than they were before, and as fist as his feeble powers a ent, he would on his return do every thing to pro. mote it, as far as it could be done constitutionally.. Joseph Mitchell, of Liverpool, stated the circumstance of his haying LiAsivito 'cornea/se with a mooning fellow who pre teniteil to be tt fliolol to lilsc,ty. This fellow was Onset, and this man be introduced into different parts of' t';e coon supposing loon to bore licen equally friendly to the eati,e of freedom es himself. He Sacumly declared sisal neither lie, nor the friends with Whom lie had acted, had ever con templated airy act of treason, nor had any other object in view than that of obtaining a reform its Parliament by legal and constitutional means. Ile ::•—tirid the meeting, that although lie loud suffered the are meat hard. ships by an imprisonment of six mouths, and I.y being edu. era to beggars, he was still as hearty in the cause as es e t .

Smile day a after this, a Ali sae tiger trent London, and two uroke into his house, and said • that Lord Sidossouth wished to speak to hint, and must see Win in London. lie was then taken !tithe county gaol, tweed with irons, and soon after put 11110 a carriage with :moths r man, in order to he curtseyed to London. They were both, chained togethet, even while in bed. At last he arrived in London, au : was brought before Lord Sidnimith, w h om l ie defied to bring any charge against him.

(This address pro dusted a seusation aiming the company.)
