NOVEMBER IA MEETING AT SPA-FIELDS. In consequence of an advertisement whlch was placarded throughout the metropolis, stating that a meeting of mann. facterers. attiaam, site. would be convened in them. Melds to flak ',lnto consideration the propriety of petitioning the Prince Regent opouthe present distressed state of the country, as immense concourse of people assembled on Friday, of about ' or 6,411:10 persons. , Aimed half put 12 ? a hackney-coach, containing four per- _eons, drove into the held-, pelted with dirt by the mob. Upon Its arrival, Mr. Parkes addressed them front the coach, and i requested them to be tranquil. He then mounted upon the roof. and harangued the multitude. lie exhorted them to be ' firm and bold in the pieseut crisis. The nation was nut tinder I a Pitt adutteistrition ; it was under a power which reqnired to be uarrowly beaked atler.. Now was the time when the people should evert themselves for We maintenance of their eights and liberties, and be like the bursting of waters— cal ry all before them. He begged to tell them, that at this important moment one tiros and decided step would ensure success. He besought them to be patient and united, and peaceable and unanimous, and they would succeed. But in what were they to be patie n t? in their present sutferiugs, which were connected w;tli their future salvation. He was a stranger to the motives that had brought them together, or the gentlemen who had caused the placards to he issued ; hut he was a f, lend to the constitution, and was born to reverence the rights orate Primer of the realm. What were the com plaint/a, and whom did the people complain of? The immora lity of the country, which bad extracted from the people that which they ought to have enjoyed for their snpport. Immo rality had paved the way for corruption, and corruption had takenits permanent seat: it never could be dislodged unless the people a-allied round it with firmness and intrepidity, and informed those who possessed the seat, that they had no right to sit there, and that the populace had a right to dislodge them. (Hear, Hear.) He felt a delicacy iu appearing before the present assemblage; and he felt somewhat that told him, his conduct was marked with impropriety. (tao. AU.) It did appear tether singular, that a stranger /Wield come forward ! eo address such a multitude, but be bad to inform them, that it was himself who bad lied the high honour of moving the resolutions at the last meeting in Palace Yard. Having said so munch, lie woold now withdraw. He recommended the people to he on their guard, tOr their enemies were near. (Wear. Hear.) Their enemies were in every quarter of die globe; het he exhorted his hearers not to be deterred by th ew the cause was good, and their enemies were trembling; sow was the time when the tyrants should sufier; and it' the teatime were unanimous, bold, amid intrepid, the supporters of corruption would tremble before them. The meeting thewaajottened to a public-house called Mer lin's Cave, where the two persons ewhotigned the requisitiun, were attending the arrival of Mr. Hunt. About ouc o'clock the orator appeared in the centre of the multitude, and was conducted umidst their acclamations to a hackney-coach, on the roof of which, after the example of his predecessor, be thounted, and addressed a few sentences. However. hese** . abandoned this post, and gratified the committee men with his presence in the ale-honse. His approach was preeededltf.. a three coloured Sago and a cap on a pole. Here he maxim. amused Ids haraugne I iotnahe front room, in which large 11- bations had been already offered en the Altars of patriotism. - lie 111.1.1 sorry to fiud Ilia on an occasion of this importance it bad become necessary f. r them to send a hundred miles into' the country for so buintee an individual es hinaseit; in come-, (memos of the itbsenee of the true friends of the people.

He heard yesterday of a labourer of Spitallielda, who, with a wife and three children, bad hem heard to pray that some hand would deliver hint front the load of life. What, then, was the cause of this dis tress? Wasit, as their enclitics had the impudence to pro. mulismte, die indolence, end improvidence oldie poor? This was the cause assigned by a hireling press ; but it was untrue. There was no people so industrious its the people c f this cram ery. An Etiglishnum worked as much in ei week as any °Wei! laboarerina month. (Applause, dad grime/ . "We do. we do.") What was the mum of the want of einployineast?-7'enation. What was We cause of taxation?—Corruption. It was cur caption that had enabled the boroughanungers to wage war • for the destruction of the liberties plait countries, but pried pally of our own. Its object had been contessed by Miuis •tere themselves to-be the reeturatioe of despotism and .perse cutioa. With these , vieWs, therefore, they began to re-esta blish the Douche's, sad the Pope. He begged to intimate to them the nature of the imtisition, whicii he should do by reading an extract from a book. (Here We orator read the description of au nolo daje seat 1/ 1). Wilcox, the then chap lain to the British factory at Ilabon, addressed to Bishop liuruct.) They had now in •their.view the British • Ilastile, (pointiug to the COW-liatlefields prison), .where so much ty ranny had formerly been exercised. (it was abort Ws. period ef_ the speech ibet wheel ter milfortave to hare oar pocket picked.) lie begged them to bewaste• of wolves im sheelea chehing. Where were All these preteaded friends? What had Locum,• of all the great city pottier+ ? At such an iissemblv they uo , Inure dated to appear thou my Lord Castlereagh. 'they were the greatest enemies the' people ever had. two years ago. when it was proposed to petition for the repeal of the property tat, he hail proposed something should be added with a view 0 the relict' of the peer, (Apptease.) The rich man, who brewed his owu , beer, had it lac a harrel cheaper" than the mechanic, whim was obliged to buy it. Up started one of the wolvesin sheep's clothing, and abused kill, ns hawking about his speeches. And what disgrace was there in endeavouring to remedy the sufferings of his fellow-conetry nieu? (,ippliture) This walk opposed his motion; and why? Because the mi series of the poor were altogether out of their consideration. The rick alone were to be relieved, and the poor might go to the devil. It had been given out that he had quarrelled with all public men; this was false. When had they known him to quarrel with Mr F. Burdett, or with Major Cartwright? Had he quarrelled with any of thou now present, among whom were thuusithels who, at the hour of trial, would prove themselves motley of public cuelitlence? 'they would mot be found behind their counters, or compromising with Go vernment some Exchequer process. (.Ipploore.) He had ' sever any eounexion with Government, nor would he ever have. He never Avoid be found its any dirty scrapes. y had IWO SONS of enemies-.one class who preferred open hos tility ; anutker, more itwidious, oho called theinselves friends, and came for die put prase of creedal disturbance., ass pre terser for calling out the military. 11 wus their baldness-to Iris trate the designs of both.

They might to each other; how could lie find employment for the poor, if his meaty' were exhauste•l by taxation? He knew what ought to be dime. He knew the myelin' ity of mental over physical force. It was their duty to petit' .to remon strate, to call aloud for timely reformation. Those who re sisted the demands of the people were the friends of coats . • and bloodshed ; but if the fatal day shonld arrive, he would not be found behind* counter, or in the rear. Every thing that concerned their tesbsieteoce was tared. Was not their loaf taxed—their beer taxed—their coats taxed—their shirts taxed—was not every thing that they ate, drank, wore and even said, taxed? (4 Mmes.) What impudence, who; insoleuce in the corrupt tuisions of Government, to say they suflered nothing f}om taxation, If there were no taxes, the labourer would have his loaf far 4d. his pot of beer for 0. his bosh,' of salt for half-a.ercrivns his soap, candler, sugar, tea, and other articles, fur half their present price. He had brought a link book here, spew extracts of which lie would •itd. ( Loud applause.) .It was a report of a committee of the House of Commons. (Loud anatomy(.) He had # bound op and placed in his library, under the title of " Splendid Paupers." It contained a list of those whe n fattened on the spoils of on oppressed nation. Th book, said the orator, this little book contains the canoe of all your oppressions, all your distresses, all your misery. (Load mid ref/on:Ad applause.) No, said the friends of go vernment, the came .1 the distress originates in the change front war to peace. This was sot the case, if was in tilling due little book. (Loud apyinise.) Taxes here appeared to be expended, in pensioning the fitthers, the brothers, the mo thers, the sisters, the cousios ' 'and bastards of the borough mongei s loud applause avid lighter). and oil sorts of peepers. He would state s few items. 4)w ureter then went over the pensions grauted for the yammer branches of the Royal Ps. unity : he spokt ironically of the whole number, calling the Doke of Sussex the peat patriot and fishmonger; and tellies his audience that they mold not hot admire their admirable Princesses, and be grateful to Heaven fin being blessed with the happiness of supporting such an immense Royal Family. By the way, the liberality of Parliament to ..the Prince of Cobourg seemed to hint quite novel: the general rule here, however, was reversed ; ,for if the Prince of Cobourg see „rived his amiable commit, lie was to draw from our tam! 49,0001. a year, and we were to have the pleasure of paying them. 'Flue orator went on with his book. Here was Lady Grenville down 1,5001., Lady Chadian' 3,0001. Lady Esther • Stanhope 1,5001. All parties were pensioned, Whigs or To- ries, the Pit or the Fox faction, ins or outs ; all fattened on the people, all were tarred with the same brash. Here was for Lady Oxford 5001. After mentioning the name of a twigs lady, and asking who the devil she was, the orator proceeded to the most precious page of the hook. The meeting had heard of en impudent fellow,. called tieonge Canning, who called the people of Englassd a swinish multitude, ofl-scour. ings, &c. But who was this Canning--w hut was his tinnily He did not himself know if he had a grandfather. Mother Hann, however, was well known, end he would stick by her,. She was down here tor Soul, with the reversion to her daugh ter, and had received in twenty years to,oool. of the pnblig money, Was it surprising diet the people were in distress, when their resources were thus squendelred? There waa Mi. 'jar Cartwright, a man who had spent his whole life us invest'. I genii; We laws of the country, and protecting the rights of the people.
