Ile was certain that Mr. Hunt was happy, as well from his own couscieume as their approba tion—Eine flagon and salrer, with the inscriptions upon it, were turn loui..ed round the room, and exhibited by Sir Chas. Welseley at the window to the crowd in from of the Inn.] — After a short internal. Mr. libsT requested the notice of the Meeting to what he was about to say—•• I am, Gentlemen, you know, a soon of businens. Some of the freeholders of the county how present hare 'bought this a lit opportunity to call a Meeting of Somer set together ; and it is meant to.eabinit a Requisition to you for yr.al approbation, and for the signatures of those who are freeholders., and like the proposition.—(Hear)—l will read the Requisition to you :-- * To the High Sheriff of the Count, of Somerset, We, whose name. are hereunto. subscribed, Freeholders, Land Whirls, Tridestnen, and others, affected by the agticul tar:it distresses of the country, regatta that you will, as early kb may ke, cont toe a Public Meeting of the County. to take i tto cumiideraliou the h. st means of petitioning Parliament fur the retire*s of those grievance. cutler which we at present labour, and fur rmitorin; the Repre.entation of the People iu Parlia tent, ti;reeable to the ancient principles of the English Coustitut ion.'

The Requisition was then handed round, and numerous sig. nrLires attached to it. Alter some obiervations from Sir Charles Wolseley, Mr. 11orthinore and Mr. Hunt, they w of into the barou the, and procession set out fur Gitatitoubary, , where it arrived at 4 o dock. hiL...sTisnuar, Fore o'Ctocs:.—The liberation of *Mr. HAM steins to have made a greater sensation here than at ll chestel. The people who have collected are at a better class, and wally parties of well dressed women, escorted by their frieuJa have gone forward to meet the proces,ion. The hills eurrounding the town are numerous groups were staimied upon them. The bells of the Churches were suffered to lie rung, after some contest among the authorities. The procession as it came alon4 received a great increase of strength, and as it entered here there were at least 3001.1 peo ple with it, extending the whole length of the town, and for some distance on the Ilchester road. Mr. flout afterwards proceeded On his arris al to a room in the lon, where lie held a Court Leet, and the several officers were sworn in with nisch ceremony, and Mr. Hunt delivered a suitable speech on the occasion, to' the constables of the Hundred. At *is o'clock about sixty Gentlemen sit down to dinner, in the augest room or the George Inn. Mr. 11orthruore was milled to the Chair ; and on his right Mr. Hunt was placed. When the cloth was removed the Chairman gave the first toast, which was drant with acclamation— .. The People, the source of legitimate power." A letter front Mr. James Matto, the reformer of Leeds. in clueing an Address from that town, wits read, and the Address presented by Mr. North:lore to Mr. Hunt. Jitter the Address was presented, the Chairman gave The King, sad may be never forget the expression 01 Lord Chan cellor Fortes,:ue—that he has the delegation or his other from and for the Peol le."—A tout which lie (the Chairman) gave with as much Leal and fervour as Mr, Ciumiug could, iu pro posing his Majeety 'a health. The toast was drank with great applause. Sewers popular toasts were giseu and drank, and an anima ted speech was delivered by the Chairman, prefacing the toast he ;Ave the health of Mr. Hunt. Mr. Ht sT returned thanks in a speech of much length, in which he alluded, in energetic terms, to his trial, his convic tion, his treatment in prison, and various other particulars, which were received with considerable applause. The following toasts were then successively given from the Chair, accompanied by brief explications:— •• May the 1% hi d . have the sense to give up their Boroughs." The Chairman Wiser% eti that, when he started for Exeter, the tw o other candidates, P ho were always opposed, united against him, as if lie were lielzebub. A Whig was, he said a hypo ci..te, and a Tory a di.nouright thief ! The health. of Major Cart. right, Alderman Wood, and Mr. Wooler , the buffering Reformers, Messrs. Harrison, Swan, and Lewis ;" Spain, Greece, Portage!, and America, and t le cause of Freedom all over the world." t Sir C.'l‘ ukaii.iY earnestly pressed upon the attention of the Meeting the propriety of a southein sob.criptiou ninon, on tic plan 01 the northern, fur promoting Return]. At eleven o'clock the company broke up, aud the principal pc~s"dtagea departed, amid loud cheers. The Earl of lialington, we are concerned to state, is confined with a severe fit of the gout, at his seat, Itaby Castle, Durham. Four Candidates aro at present mentioned for the reptesentation of the University of Cambridge, viz. the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Solicitor General, Mr. Searlett, and Mr. Spencer Perceval.— Should the Speaker accept the Chiltern Hundreds, he cannot, we presume, act as Speaker without being re-elected to the situation. The case will be rather novel. - ~; _ THE NATIONAL REGISTER LETIER FROM 2R. RGIVRING TO MR. CANNING. Boulogne-prison, Oct. 24.

I resisted, nod resisted successfully, under the protection of one of the articles of the rode de piuredu, a (the 100th), which these was every disposition to viotate. It would appear the Government begins to feel that it has hero too rash and arbitrary is its proceedings. I have under gone another Imo; exatuitsation—secret as usaal—ftUti even the presence of an interpreter denied, though formally demanded. Pour pages of interrogatories had been sent from Paris. Not one question among them hail a reference to that " revolutionary correspondence" of which I was suspected of being the bearer, and on that plea, and that plea alone, delis ered over to the va rious acts of oritre4e of which I have been, and still am, the victim.

Some justification, some plea of justification, would of ciourse he everited by yin , n a long series of questions blase been seta in consequence ; tome of which they deemed n i;ht possibly lead to a confession or a detection, which might palliate their arbitrary pruceedings. They suspect in.

The charge is as visionary as it is false—it is false in the ag gregate, it it false in every individual detail ; hut to support it, the *bele machinery of moral torture (for the due operation of which a fortnight's sufferings are supposed to have prepared the victim) is put in action, and it is eipeeted to entrap some new fact by a snare so widely and so artificially laid. Sir, it is from this monstrous system of inquisitorial running and violence that I appeal to toy country nod to you. Abandoned to the re sources of my own mind—a mind stronger, however; than all the strength of tyranny—l have hitherto bad to struggle with every thing that aatifice and oppression cou'd direct against me abandoned, among criminals, without so touch as a Margie pre •amption, however weak of crime. it eaunot sorely be tolerated, that a man, and an Englishman, is to lie hunted from suspicion to suspicion—each ►aseless or absurd—till something snail be found, or something shall be fancied, which may serve to veil the original acts. If so, the ends of suspicious despotism are gained—the sufferings are indicted—the innocent object of dislike is buried io a dungeon. cannot be done with impunity. I have confidence in the dignity of your character: 1 here confidence in the high spirit of toy country. Some redress will be demanded for the past—some security will be witained for the future.

ACCIDENT IatONI Tuesday at noan, the Opera-house end of Pall-wall w is thrown into the greate• t consternation, by a sudden and tremendous subterrautous ex plosion, that was more like the discharge of Iseaty ordname under ground than any thing else.
