b' I IILPETIZTO. • On Thirstier,' reepectable Meeting of the NoblAse . rr, Freebildera, dtmensissioiers of• Supply. AMMO of the Peace, and Magistrates of Towns is the County of Rei. hew, was befit at Rotsfrew, to take into consideration the distress of the Farmers. Among the Gentlemen present were. Mr. Maxwell, ALP., Sirs. Maxwell, Mr. Smers of IghlersliN Mr. Orr of Ralston, Mr. Campbell of Blythe.- ebood, Mr. Alexander of Soutbbar, Colonel Fulton, Mr. • • Wallace of Kelly, Mr. Wilson of Co*glen, Mr. Wilson of Heeler. Letters, apologizing for the absence of Sir . M. Shaw Stewart, Sir W. Milliken Kepler, and Provost • Canine, were read to the Meeting. Sir Michael Shaw Stewart; io d letter, stated that be would be happy if the Meeting nould fall on any plan of relief; but in his . opinion the /remedy must be left to time and dream. . s i taoces. Provost Celine, in his letter, regretted that as . Thursday was the market day at Paisley, be could not attend ' but at the same thus he approved of the object of the Meeting, and in his opinion economy and re. • teenchment were the most likely means is afford Mid; and esdecially a repeal of the Assessed Taxes. On the motion of Mr. Maxwell, Colonel Mere, of ,ColdwellOras unanimously called to the Chair. • Mr. Maxwett then addressed the Meeting, and con elided with reading the followinglissolations: - I. That the prodomions of the alt ere below the price :they maintained at the period of the Bank Restrictiou Act, and that many of the changes incident to oulticattee, have not been subjected to similar alteration.. , V. That Is consequence of this Wawa,' In the wet and value of farm produce, the farmer is ones jellnd Allechir", soblljpitleits Of • much heavler naturaisie he eontemplateit Of EOM elpect, or can continue to *kit goad, without an esormoes Sacrifice of property. . 3.. Theta greet minority of the farmers of thIS county are merely occupiers of land, and hales under pi oprlotors, who ;in semi iestanees burden themselves with annuities and debt eentrieted daring the Bank Restriction Act, in others under the controul of trustees abseql from the county, or ignorant of husbandry, are preveutedfrom contributing to the relief of the farmer by suitable reduction of rent. 4. That•canals, roads, bridges, and similar communica tions with markets, mid in some cases markets themselves being subjected to the payment of interest of debt, incurred at tittle formation during the Bank Restriction act, and by levying very high dues and tolls, and cense:Neatly greatly deduct from the Proceeds of (aria produce. b. That io addition to direct loss occasioned by the alter *tine effected in the relative value of money and agricuanral property, the farmer suffers by the want fpr such great sales, s ac by payments peremptorily enforced, require the contin gent exciusion of foreign produce, and the defective crop of oats for the last tlii•ee yearsmot having hitherto re-establish ed the proportion between supply and demand. ft. That a reduction of the price of Held labour, equal to th.: reduction of geld produce. while the taxes affecting 13 ritish barley-meal, skins and tallow, in the row or manu factured state remain, will be felt severely by agricultural labourers; and the teidesmen, the mechanic, the artizen,and propietors of houses dependant upon them. 7. That the residence in foreign States of British statki eats, not diplomatic or commercial, Is greatly encourage/I by the -Immunity from such taxes which that residence afford., and in evading burdens imposed by the State, their expendi :tura withdrawn from the country, diminishes the employ ment Milli people, end the consumption of ferM produce. S. That such measures ou;ht to be adopted as will give rider to the farmer, by lucreasing consumption, and reduc in&_the expenses of cultivation. ' • These Resolutions were seconded by Mr. ORR, of Ral 'Von. .• • Mr. Spiess agreed most cordially with the proposer .of the resolutions. Well did K. remember in his .yenngerdays how happy and comfortable the workmen lived, and what a contrast to the present• times. In those days the Yeomanry were the pride of the country, but now they are nearly extinct. The army must be greatly reduced. All pensions, net merited by eervices rtmleroll ds• pablio, roust be inettaiett, oust Oust fruitful source of evtravagaoce , the collection the revenue, u hick at present costs from fire to seven millions, mast 'be reduced to two or three millions. That most oppres eve load, the assessed taxes, must be taken off. The .text was* tax he had the most decided objection to—it stems the tax upon malt, which he thought must be wholly •takert off. It had produced most demoralising effects. A 'person cannot walk into the country near a moor , a glen, or sequestered spot, but they are sure to find still upon • Viiis and it is Solely on account of the temptation from 'the heavy duties AM so mane run the risk of smuggling. _Formerly every farmer timed to brew beer sufficient for his own use; but now there is not a farmer, on your entering his bow, who can eve yon a glass of his own brewed strong ale. The window tax should .be taken off. It has caused the abutting out of the light and air from many houses, bees injnrions in 'health, and has disfigured the country, Another cow-. .quence of high duties is that the people in this country par higher for tea than any nation. In France, in Hol land• and Hermany, the people drink their own tea much .cheaper and better than we do here. He had been in ,Ireland, and had never experienced more hospitality. It posseued a good soil, and an active people, anti were it not for misrule, it might be the finest country in the world. The present method of governing :Ireland :should be abandoned. Look at Scotland, where the Aimed effects of education are conspicuous. Here not -wily almost every man, but lie might add. almost every .women, is well educated ; and the effects are apparent ,in their outward appearance, for notwithstanding the long and severe distress they have suffered, their good clothes they are not yet worn out, and on the Sundays ,they ate like so many gentlemen of the State.—(A laugh.) Mr. Spites, in conclusion, stated that the Re .solotions should go further, for in his private opinion it would r. qnire a reduction of at least twenty millions to aff~rJ effecteal and permanent relief to the country. .lie sat down in the midst of applause. Mr. ALEXANDER was of opinion that the resolutions would not answer the i mpose ' and were deluding the 'starters with hopes of relief that. wosidd not be real ' ia. d. lie Considered that the best relietfor the homers was to make them pay grain rents according to the fair prices as they did in the olden times. • Sir. Kt Ds tdt was of the same opinion. He said that a measure had been introduced into Parliament last Ses sion, respecting heritable bonds, which, if carried, he thought would have given great relief. Bi A xw E LL said, lie approved of a great reduction •pf the taxes, but as they could net get all they wanted, beltad at present propesed to offer only what he thought they mould get. As a landlord, he intended to adopt the plan of grain rents. • Sir J. Al axwEtt. said, with respect to grain rents, it Would be difficult In all cases of minors and trustees. He thought the resolutions were so moderate, they could not offend any men of any political party, and the 'Mi nisters might attend to it as coining from this great 'agricultural an I commercial county. Some discussion then followed respecting the form in 'which the resolutions should be passed. The letter ad • sldessed to Mr. Maxwell, by the Renfrewslitre Agricul 'total Society was read. It was in substance. the same as the resolutions. Mr. Swans approved highly of the letter, which lie considered a most constitutional application. It was much more commendable than calling large meetings. and in his opinion the Society deserved the thanks of "the meeting. Mr. CAMPRE4I. moved that the resolutions be read seriatim. If ;boy did no good they could do no harm. Mr. SPISIUBjedd he was precisely of the same opiaion.• (A lauirh.) • Sir Jomx MAXIVILL said that a petition that wasens.' dense wisahl inset with more- attention in the House of Coalinga: than one that was violent. LONDON:* • WEDNESDAY IVENING, JANUARY !2, 1223. TO THE YEOMANRY OF THE COUNTY OF HEREFORD. (Concluded from our Paper of Yesterday.) Mr. Unmet:rum is represented, by the reports in the newspapers, to have said that he lamented that the proposition made by me, bad not been made by soirte gentleman better known to the Covnty. This he did say. He said, further, that the country ought to agree to his propositions, in preference to these of Mr. Cob bett ; because he Mr. Charlton was better knolls to th e County. When he spokqa second time, this wee, Weed, his only argutnent. He affected, indeed to disapprove of t he mean conduct of Smithies and Davis; but still he urged the Meeting not to take my Petition,because it was proposed by me. He further said, in one part of his speech, that he could sty that it was Mr. COODETT * I own opinion that it would be better for a petition to come from some gentleman better known to be connected with the County. It is clear that he formed his coati= Lion with the Pittites to avoid what be called the disgrace which would fall upon the County, if my petition were adopted. and if (as must be the case) the world were left to believe that no gentleman in the County was ea lalphof drawing up a suitable petition. o • . _ Now, all tLis might pass, if ibe►e were nothing be hind ; but we shall soon see, that Mr. Charlton ought not to have said this without saying a great ilea more. The trading company of the Old Times, not instigated, possibly, by Mr. Charlton, has, from these hints, wadi out the following story : " Nothing can show more the scorn with which Cobbet " was received at the meeting, than the fact, that though be " made curry effort upon his arrival in Hereford .0 " Thursday eight, to conimnniertte with some of the coma " try gentlfmen, whom he thought maintained souse " o Anions at least in common with himself, and even " offered, that if any of them would take up his PetillOn. " he would quit the turn without waiting for the meeting " at all, none of them would hold any communication with. " him." If Mr. Charlton should find any inconvenience to himself, arisiug out of these transactions, lie will soon see that lie has himself to thank for it.— The facts are tin re: soon after my arrival in the Hote I on Thursday evening, the waiter came with a message, to me from Mr. CHARLTON. Mr. Charlton said at the Meeting that be had never seen me before, which was not true, and a man should always speak the truth. The message was that Mr. Charlton and Mr. Knight, n•ho were in another room in the Hotel, wished to see nee•. Mr. Charlton I had never heard of before. Upon enquiry, I found that he was a man famons on the turf and that lie was a landowner in Herefordshire: but I who am not at all acquainted with tLe turf, never had heard of him More. Upon asking Mr. Palmer what Mr. KNIGHT it was, 1 found it was Mr. KNIGHT, to whose horticultural inquiries the country is so much indebted. I remembered having seen Mr. KNIGUT once at Mason's, the seedsman, in Fleet Street; but I had read his writings on horticulture and had great respect for him accordingly. I had no objection to confer With those gentlemen ; M.% they were landlords : they wetv in some sort, of the aristocratic class ; they were persons to whom tLe vulgar notions of superiority would give precedence before me ; and, though I am always ready to take the first step..and to be the first to tender the hand of friendship to every one who has no pretensions to the superiority which is built on rank or wealth,never in the whole course of my life, have I suffered rank or wealth to obtain from me the first step or the first tender of the hand. I, therefore., in a manner as civil and polite as possible, gave Mr. Charlton to understand that I should be happy to sea him and Mr. KNIGHT in my TOM. Mr CeenL•roN came, and brought the draft of his iotende petition, expressed a wish to read it to me, which he did in the presence of Mr. WM. PALaiER and my son. He asked me to suggest any alterations or improvements that I might think useful. This I declined to do ; and after:some time, lie went away. This is trot much lik making efforts to have communication, and having the efforts treated *sills arbrn! Mr. Coasteon mast make some pretty stout efforts before lie will clear his friend the Old Times newspaper, from the lie which it ha; palmed upon the pnblic. Af ter Mr. Charlton wa s gone, I proposed to Mr . Farman. that we should put the Petition which I had prepared into the hands of Mr. CHARLTON and Mr. KNIGHT; let them move, it, if they choose ; being of opi. . aims that it would be much better for them to do It than for ns to do iri--..Aceordingly we sent ai:~ ~- -- ligt"i . . - Clsai, 'WhO—catao;;liir sei jive' hit! , tioz I C - telling him what our wishes ,Were. - 61i Mr. Charlton came back with qie Petal : 0 sal tali Sa s that Dir. .Kaight could not adoy s ti.t. /maul! r ed t ?" fe its rellidi.ser. tha i t iril - LicateaarTrot Wa he t wit fisfrotill e' qiieitiis of Pailio nuastary Rvbror• liww, - step iienr for, s -misrute - tw, observe on "the' repave of.

Thus. then. the trading Company of the Old Ti AP Is pretty completely answered. litre is trite proof enough of the infamy of that concern. Upon the argument of Mr. Cnanklem, that the County would be dig raced, if it were to go forth that it was necessary to bring in a stranger to draw up a petition for them ; as to this argnotent, I migfit . show, by a comparison of the two document., by an exposure of the various errors, the confusion, and other bad qualities in the shockingly it. literate production of Mr. CHARLTON ; I might pally show that disgrace might have been avoided by the keeping of his pen out of the concern ; but, upon bisowil showing, combined with his own conduct, he had in• curred all the" disgrace" that he could incur ; for lie liad submitted his Petition to me ; he had asked me to suggest alterations and improvement* ; that is to say, to draw up a Petition for him. Ile was very willing to Ili al aallerleorkar aye, and he told me, too, that all shatlie knew of stick raged: he had learned from ate. Yet not a woad of this did lie, say at the Meeting ; but then formed a Coalition with the Pittites ; talked about the disgrace of receiving a Petition from the hands of a stranger ; and condescended, in order to get his ow■ illiterate pe►formance palmed upon the county, to lend himself to a sort ofJockeying contrivance, by the means of which. the real sentiments of the County were pre'. vented from being expressed •in as authoritative manner. I have no . time for any thing more at present. gentle men; but, in the way of conclusion, I hereby call upon Mr. CHARLTON to declare before the public whether he did or did not show any Petition to Mr. KNIGHT ; and whether the reporters of the trading company of the Old Times had or had Sot his authority for saying whet they bare said about my having made efforts to get communi• • cation with bins. 1 am, Ilietiemen.

GENTLEMEN,--111• the paper of Barks and Kinder brook,uftockey Lane, in their Paper called the Mercury, of Saturday the 11th. iastant, there is a very outrageous attack upon your Petition by a person of the name or D+RitELL, who calls himself a man of Kent. He appears to be raving mad at your Petition. He calls it horrible and damnable thieving. Now, Gentlemen, pray listen to me for one moment. This very man was for the motion in favour of reduction of the interest of the debt ; but mark the fraiky of human natore! This same man is the lucky teasel of a very nice piece of Crown ',ands He has (for I dir;nbt not that it is the same identical mai) no less than fourteen houses in the Haymarket, in Pall Mall: end in blirket Lane, in the Parish of Faint Jameat Westminster. These Houses cannot be worth fess than about three thousand pounds& year; and Mr. Darrell appears loaraf, or rather to have paid for them, for a great.sanaher of years, .only about two hundreCast 4 i tweittyjilste'pounds a year. Thus Mr. Darrell bat awwwg :little estate, which he would certainly lose if yoiti Petition were'carried into effect. Mr.. Darrell is, there fore, naturally in a very great rage. Mr- Darrell natar rally abhors the idea of your Petition, but I submit, that this is no reason it Ity you should abhor it. Ile calls Mr. Cockey BACON, " Aly deur Sir." He appears to be in great distress 'of mind, and thinks, apparently, tha t even Colthey may afford him some little assistance Alts! Mr. Cot key liacost can do nothing but storm and rave like himself—Your Petition is a very tr)ing and searching thing: It is like one of those potent drag, which we apply to the bodies of cattle infested with ver min. Before we apply the drug, the vermin are not seen; They lie hidden under the hair. They are close down upon the skin, sucking tile blood of the poor creature.— But the moment the potent dreg is applied, they are dis lodged, and they come creeping out. You see them in all their filthy deformity, and you wonder not that the poor animal has bec . ome nothing-but skin and bone. 1 is just thus with your petition. ft disturbs and dislodges ' the vermin that have so long been sucking the blood of the nation. They become offensive to the eye, and they are troubl..sotne for a while; hut if we persevere in the Application of the drug, the whole race will, be de stroyed and the carcass will once more behealtity and fat.

The wort Bireeet-has had the gaminess to say, that he is ready to give up Ws pretensions in my favour; and, tnostassaretlly If I had the honour to represent you fifty such bands as ' the University Of Cambridge consists of,would not be Life I to tempt me from your side. The hope of haiing lan honour, however, I cheerfully resign, at present, se , . lin • as I do, and with the greatest pleasure, that ry:r excellent neighbour, Mr. SamusuWittn of Hunting don, has offered his services to you; services that I know you can rely on. Sir Charles iVolseley has promised to be present at the Election. I make the same promise; for it is the duty of every honest man in the country to endeavrtr Ito keep Lasers!' SCARLETT out of Parlilalleatin a Address, I shall lay before you his project for prce,..t -' lag tke taboarimg classes from Marrying. Ile a l )peo% to me to be dearly pointed out amongst those whom the Holy Apostle rays will rise nit 10 plague the earth in the latter times. Saint Paul, in his first Episti t., 1.. mothy, tfiserth chapter and first verse, says, " now the "ipirit4peaketla expresely, that.. in the tatter time., ,:"rmuste4sUlill depart from the faith, giving heed t., "erdaeiogsiopleits and doctrines of devils: speak : w '" lied is hypocrisy ; having their cOnseiersces scowl ", with a hot'iron ; fortiddiag to marry." tirlattl,., your I s aviree SCA RLETT has had his conscience seared with abut iron I cannot say ; but this I know, that lie did his hest le cause to be put in force those doctriars width forbid to marry. Ores the great activity, zeal, and talent of yocr seighhour, Mr. %Velma, I have no doubt, that due pre parations will be made for that contest, which I think the Lawyer will not dare to enter upon ; and which, if he should enter on it, will, I am confident7end in his disgrace. You are aware, Gentlemen, of his having voted in the House of Commons for an enquiry into the conduct of the Manchester Magistrates; and yon are also aware, that lie went afterwards and acted as Attar hey-General in prosecuting; inlitusuing with theutmPst rigour ; in hunting down, with the utmost fury ; in calling fur aggravated punishuiteat on the beads of those who bad been dispersed by those Magistrates. However, plenty of time there will be for a full sle tail of these matters. At present, I base an appeal to make to you in favour of the poor dogs of the city. I Lear that the boys, since the writing of my first asktres., have keen tying tin kettles to the lathe the slogs, send ing them through the, strut% led hallooing out " Lawyer ! Lawyer! • Oat with him ! Out with him : ' Now, in the first place, this is unjust, for l would cid no dog by such a name ; and, it is wrong in the bight tt degree to indict upon one creature that which is due tto another. Besides, if we leave this matter of justice and injustice out of the question, it is bad policy to bestow the tin kettlesia this sort of way, for they will, every one of them, beirtntted at the election, if Scarlett flare ' come. Some weeihalThave to'pet atones into, to rattle in his ears; others to be played open` with sticks sir bits of iron ; others to kick along the road ; and at least five hundred to meet him with, half a mile from the town, and give him a grand entre. Therefore, let me beg of you to husband the tin kettles. The election will be about the 20th of February. However, l shall know the time precisely ; arid I will go down, and have the honour to reside amongst you some days before the beginning of the election. in a short time, I shall do myself the honour to address you again, giving you a full view of the public character and merits of Lawyer Searlett. In the mean time, hoping that you sill 11/446* a grand collection of tin kettles, I remain, Gentlemen, your most obedient, and most bumble servant, Wx. COBBETT. SECRET INTELLIGENCE. Our friend the Chronicle is famous for getting at scerets especially such as relate to the intention of ti e Ministers. How it gets at those secrets we do not pre tend to know; but, somehow or other, the intelligence always turns out to be false. Within this twelvemonth, our friend has discovered three or four new Cahint t arraagementa, neither of which has gone into effet'. by means of its spies at Verona; we do not mean spies in the bad sense of the word, bat sharp sighted people; by Means of these sharp sighted people, It discovers that his Grantref WEntirrortre, had pleaded like an angel, trumpet-Moped, in favour of the Spaniards, and it dis. covered that Mr. CANNING had thrown his shield over the *. Pcninseta." It turns out, however, that the Holy Brotherhood have pretty nearly as good as declared war against Spain ; and that, just at the moment when they are doing this, :our shieldientkinon has sent them a pretty tart message about .111)01c millions of money that they owe to us for depredations committed on our commerce!' its is Much about as friendly an act as that of the tinker, who, when he saw his neighbour the butcher about to he sued by the grazier, and disteained upon by the Landlord, CARRIED IN HIS BILL! In. stead of a shield, our dignified Secretary of State, semis in the Spaniard a long bill. But, we have diverg , d from the object we had in view at starting, which object was the secret relative to a plan for making silver the standard, instead of gold; and thus silently to redo , e ' the interest of the Debt five per cent. This mea.nre, our friend the Chronicle says is to be brought forasto by Mr. Huskisson. This intelligence we are sure is false. Ido not impute the falsehood to our friend; hat to his informant. his Sir John Sinclair's project. To adopt it would be to abandon the only money standard that the country has ever known ; and it cannot be done without a repeal of Mr. Peel's Bill. ~~_ THE Ali - Ks iuMect, The resohninns wire'lietigemer go wit/inst. fueeter ' l6ol33 h:tn.

He Minded to the tolls and other duties levied on butter-milk and on potatoes, and other farm produce' when taken to maikat. which the farmer was obliged to pay, often *hen his produce remained unsold. The Fatmers'• Society were anxious that something should he done in this case. He thought some arrangement might be effected by communication with' the proper Authorities, by whom the matter may be compounded by the payment of a certain sum annually. He then proposed the appointment of a Committee to inquire into and report on this desirable subject, which motion was agreed to, and s I Gentlemen were named to form the Committee.
