The learned gentleman proceeded to argue' briefly the expediency of'adoptiag the petition, and con tended that the great benefit which would result from its somas was of-a twofold description. He was not dis cussing the ieocral superiority of Whig politics to the politics of the other faction ; but be arguedAhat it was as intablbeintioest of the legislaturelo receive within its welleetrtifeli}rooi member, moil was the best policy of the community which he in to represent"; because not only a more temperate •condtret ought be expected from sorb, but alms a niorediberal, handsome, and more cautious de *recce to these who may differ from him in opinion. The health and strength of a ;toed government depended upon a vigilant and independent public opinion;--that was the basis of the representative system:—and a bad government could be checked in aoy suspicious courses only by the people's vigilanee,independenoe, and by their habits of superintending their affairs, and of ex pressing their opinion. He contended that the Scotch bad shown, by their decorum at their public meetings, held under every disadvantage, that they are capable of exercising the elective franchise without tnrriolt. la ceuutriesw here the occasions of meeting are few, when the people do' meet, they are often in difficulty as to the mapper and the matter of their proceedings. Accustom ed to regard the changes and movements of parties as they do the revolutions of the spheres—es circumstances so which they most submit, but oser which they possess tso contronl—they feel a torpor arid supineness when they are told that these are occurrences respecting which they • ought to state their opinions; and when their feelings are once roused upon any great question, they are more ljable to confusion and intemperate proceeding, than a people with whom public greetings are of common occur rence. He repeated his unqualified approbation of the resolutions; awl trusted they would be adopted with unanimity and firmness, - as well here as out of doors, and within doors is en ultimate place, where such an expression of them must be attended by eventual, if not immediate success. ( Cheers). The CHAIRMAN then pat the motion, which appeared to be carried by unanimous cheers ; when the Chairmen asked, Am Ito understand. that it is agreed to ottani nrously ?" Still louder cheering was the reply. On the motion of Mr. Castreeth, of Kilberry, a corn mines. was appointed, to superintend the signing and forwarding of the petition. J 13Ics Moxcnt eve, roncuering; as be did heartily, in the resolutions and petition that had been carried, felt that it was'of great importance to their success that their yetition should be presented by one in whose ze.l, mo devotion, good sense, and patriotism, they could confide, and in whoa, attachment to Scotland they could also con fide • and when he proposed that the Hon. James Aber crourby' should - be requested to present it, and to give it his supoort, be had no doubt that it would meet with the noanimoas approval•of the meeting:—(treat appla se.) He knew that the latter part of the request would be ac ceded to. He had no doubt that Mr. Abercrombo would give it his MOM cordial and zealous support. He (Mr. bloncrieff) was confident that their petition would be successful—if not nom, lie had oo doubt tbat, sooner or later, it would succeed. Mr. R. B. BIATH observed, that the object of thz peti tion now proposed to this meeting, is in itself so great a reform in the Parliamentary representation of this city, and is thereby so intimately connected with the import. ant subject of Parliamentary Reform in general, that he ould not let slip the opportunity of expreseing the gratifi cation be felt, at teeing the numerous and highly respect able assemblage who have newtons* forward as the valve cotes and supporters of reform. Those who have sup ported the doctrines and principles of reform daring the storms which bare assailer! the political atmosphere in the last quarter of a century, and who, amidst all the op probrious, base, and false epithets and calumnies With . which themselves and their motives were assailed, have still adhered to their doctrines ; these had great cause to w to riiqice, and were rttetilline a, reward for all they • • hoi endured in the 'plead of their principles, and the vast increase of t'oeir rank ; and if they were spared a few years, were destined, be had no doubt, to receive the greatest reeard they aimed at, viz. the‘accomplish rnpot of their wishes. - Hes should not stop to enlarge upon the causes which had of late brought over so loony to the doe tripes of reform, aye, and so many too of those who, but a short time ago, were arrayed in armour against the supporters of those very . doctrines which they are now the loudest In supporting; he was glad they saw their error, and he hoped they saw it before it was too late; he would therefore content himself . with observing,shatit was good for All men ocoasianally to feel se toosorraws audoistresses,and privations to which others are seibPcted, in order that they might thereby be able to set a just value upon the complaints of those who stiffs. He trusted that the exertions of the new disciples of reform would not rise and fall with the price of wheat • but, convinced as they had d eclared they %ere, of ;he imperative necessity of reform and its consequent attendant economy, that they would perse sore Itch patience, firmness, and moderation: and, eon. barked as so large a portion of the rank, talents, and property of the community now were, iu that most vital questio t, he had no doubt Of ultimate and not very long protracted success. And as respected our own particular case, and the object for which they bad that day met, he Loped they would show oa their opponents, who calculate that, because they -do not at once succeed, they should sink into listlessness and apathy, that they are actuated by, and act from, a deep-rooted conviction of the justice sod necessity •of obtaining *he object they sought, and that they should never cease in their efforts to attain the• cad; bypaiient perseverance, tempered by inedera . tion.—(tireat &polemic) Mr. Conoscuan rose, and was loudly cheered.—Gen tlemen,—As the resolutions and petition have now been agreed to, I presume that the meeting is drawing to a • close ; but I should be sorry ilk were to be cloaed,witL. out Your agreeing to a motion which I am about to =air. Tr.ere is often a difficulty in prevailing on gen . c o onen to route forward when that . services are wanted, owing . to their reluctance to take a conspicuous part on poblic occasions; hot your Chairman, nnio e.liately on being, applied to, said he consider ed it a duty to fill what ever post the wishes of his countrymen should call him • to. ft is one benefit, gentlemen, which must result from meetings like the present, that they train up a betty of citizens who are capable of directing and leading their countrymen in public affairs. Mr. Cockburn concluded, by moving thanks to Mr. Craig for his readiness in ta king the chair, and the ability with which he fi ll e d it.— C a rried by acclamation. The Coats:ran was sensible of the honour so hand somely conferred ors him by the meeting. Although he certainly did not hotd ithuself entitled to refuse any situ ation in which his services were required by his fellow citizens, yet he had felt con•iiderable solicitude how they should he performed! But duties which had at first appeared arduous, the excellent conduct of the meeting had ren dered-perfectly easy and pleariant.=-(Cheers.)

Surma*, MARCH 2.—A letter 'was . present from thrtdocretary dt - Stare for the Hontelkpartme It stated, that by Royal order be had to communicate to tbe Corms, that his Mejesty, yielding to the repriced rea, quests of the present !limiters to be relieved from the burden of office, bad been pleased to accede to their. wishes„ with tbe understanding that they should conti , one to manage the business of their respective depot'^ inentsinntil they made a report to the Cortes on the state of the nation. The letter also' stated that iris Majesty bad appointed the - following Secretaries of State. (Here follow the names which bare IMen already given.) The level was laid on the table. The memorial presented by the Permanent DearutatioW: tees read. It began by detailing the events of al olf last, -and then proceeded to describe the installation of the late Extraordinary Cortes. and other circumstances. Fi nally, it stated that, having received a despatch from the Government respecting the propriety and necessity of its removal to a place of security, accompanied with a consultnni of the Council of State, and a resolution of his Majesty ripen the same subject, the Permanent De putation had determined that those documents shotrld be referred to the President an 1 Secretaries of the present Cortes. This memorial oas ordered to be referred to * special committee. Several Deputies signified a wish to address the Cones. Time President observed, that with respect to the remo val of the Government, which had been mentioned in the memorial of the Permanent Deputation, be thought it ,proper to, inform the Cortes of the state in which that sub ljei t stood. The opinion of the military junta respecting the place to which the Government ought to be removed bad been referred to the Council of State. The Secrete- , ries of the Cortes had repeatedly made inquiry of the Mi nisters as to the state of the business. The Ministers re plied, that the Council of State had sot concluded its de liberation. They bad since made official communications to the same effect, and he had now an official intimation from the Ministers, from which it appeared that the Council of State had not yet come to any decision. The memorial was ordered to be printed. , An interesting discussion then ensued, in which Senor Ferrer, (Goa Joachim) propose I that the Ministers be called upon to state in Pint circumstances of danger we are placed, and whether they consider the time for rr moving the Government to be arrived, in order that the Cortes may adopt the necessary measures. 'lbis propo sition having been agreed to and read by the President, I the Secretary of State for Forein Affairs mid th; state I of the nation, in respect to its r g elations with k i ranee and other Powers, is described in a memorial which I shall have the honour to read to the Cones if they be pleased to bear it. Senor Conga.—Thu diplomatic relations are cot pre cisely what is r quired. fhe r quired . object of Senor Ferrer and of all the Congress is to ascertais whether circumstances have varied for or against the country since the decree of the Cortes for the removal of the Government was pas sed : and whether it be true, that a great part of the French farce in the Pyrenees is expected to move on the sth? The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.—SinCe the wish of the Congress reduces itself merely to the being informed ivbether circumstances have varied since the decree alluded to, I have the honour to state that they have not ; or that if any, change has taken place, it is to the side of the greater probability of the inva sion, and that it is certain that the French troops are drawing closer into the Pyrenees, and that it is very /wettable that by the 15th these may be.Bo or 90,000 men on the frontiers. Senor Cauga.—What has been stilted by the Secretary of State proves that the reports which ere in circulation are not entirely destitute of foundation, and that the country is in itnininont danger. lam therefore of opinion, that the sitting ought. to be declared permit- Dent, until it be determined to what point the Cortes and the Government shall be removed, whereby a great step will be pilled towards rescuing this unfortunate nation from the perils which menace it.—(Repeated plaudits in the gallery.) Time President. —The more critical the circumstances, the more necessary it is that our deliberstioes should be calm. The publie ought to be aware of the great injury which their applause occasions. If it be persisted in , 1 shall be obliged to use the author it y which the regula tions of the Chamber give me. The proposition of Senor Conga being formaily another interesting discussion followed, in which the Se cretary for the Home Department, said, though the Junto of Generals had mieermined the place to which iqa tary point of view the removal ought to be dude, it .4, obvious that many political considerat ions mi g ht per' baps require a change in that place. After the sub ject had been filly considered, a conmunication Was snide to bis Majesty, who assented to the removal, and authorized the Secretaries of State to adopt the necessa ry measures for that purpose. The Ministers might then bare refrained from consulting the Council of State, but they thought it proper to refer the sub ject to that body, as his Majesty had signified e wish to know the opinion of his Council. The Govern ment has endeavoured to stimulate the zeal of the Coancil; and as the deliberation is not concluded, some obstacle must have impeded tomaking of the report. I shall not enter into the question started by the last speaker, as to whether it is proper now to disregard forms which at another time would be indispensable. I shall merely state to the Congress, that according to in formation received by the Government, a considerable French army threatens our frontiers, and that within a few days that army will be in a condition to attempt an aggression which we cannot repel with an equal force. We arc therefore in the situation io which the Cortes are bound to adopt whatever measure may be necessary for the salety of the country. which, in difficult circum• stanc , s, is the only law that ought to be consulted. Senor Ferrer (Dun Joachim) agreed with the proposi tion of Senor Conga in all i ts pa rts: but he wished to know ohether the Government, in consequence of the in formation received on time subject of the approaching in vasion, thought that the occasion for the removal of the Government had arrived? The Secretary of State for War.—Replying categori• tally to the question which the last Speaker has put, the Government must say, that the occasion for carrying into effect the removal hes arrived. Senor Ferrer expressed himself perfectly satisfied with Ibis answer. Senor Isturiz.—lt appears that the Ministers had in duced his Majesty to authorize them to adopt preparato ry measures for the removal. I must then say that the ( c ouncil of State appears to be guilty of a groat crime. ,either through ignorance or design, in withholding its konsulrein on this important question. Bat lam of opt- . Moo that the Congress ought now to take into consider ation the measures necessary for accomplishing the re moval. Iris necellarythat the Cortes should know what , means exist for carrying its decree into effect. As the Om emollient has said that the time for removing is come, i might be presumed that the Ministers had made• all the requisite arrangement., as far as the state of the nation al penury would permit. But there is one remarkable circumstance which makes me doubt the 'pawn-of the Government to carry the measure into effect ; the Cort.ts know that the King has diet4issed'tho_present 'Minster e nd appointed ( Awl in dwg to Its btki eprcised h i -v 3,1„ .

How can it be'expected that a Government so situated should beastficiuutly - vigotions to carry into effect the twain the Cows have, decreed ? The Cortes have, however, no legal/peens of making Ws Majesty retract his meae estires, even supiiiing them improper; but I think this an occasion in which his Majesty ought to be called upon to fix the stability of the Government, in order that the Cortes may act in concert with the Ministers in giv ing full effect to the decree of the removal. After the subject was-declared sufficiently discussed ; the proposition of Senor (Tanga, which had received an amendment from Senor Arguelles, was nnanimously adopted in the follewing term" :—"That the Government shall to-morrow inforia the Cortes of the place which his, Majesty bas.been pleased to point out for the removal of the Government mad the Codes; and also of the mea sures which have already been adopted for carrying the removal into effect." CORTES, MONDAY, MARCH 3.—The President an flowed that -the order of the day was the discussion of the opinion of the special committee on the reply that should he given to his Majesty's speech. 'f he minute of the reply having been read, a discussion took place, and the Cortes came to a vote on the draug ht of the reply to his Majesty's speech, which was itnani mously approved. Several other resolutions trees pro pelled, relative to • measures for - rep •Ilitag the invaders, and they were referred to particular committees. The Secretaries of - State being in attendance, a paper delivered. in by the Secretar y for the Home Department was read, in which it was stated, that his Majesty having been informed of the deqsatch of the Secretaries of the Cortes, in which was communicated to the Government the resolution adopted yesterday, in order to the Cortes obtaining information of the point to which the Govern ment was to be r. moved, and having heard the opinion of the Council of State, his Majesty had been pleased to appoint the city of Seville as the plate to which the re moval Is to be effected ; ordering at the same time, that the Government do,lesue the necessary orders for the se curity of the journey, and also for establishing military posts, and for seeing that the towns to be passed through shall be furnished with provisions and paeans of trans. post ; and also that the most convenient edifices he alba ted for the occupation of his blajesty, the Royal Family, and the Congress; the Government collecting the sums necessary for defraying the expenses required for all these purposes. The communication was laid on the table. On t'rt motion of Senor Romero, the opinion of the Junta of Officers consulted on the removal was read. Senor Arguelles.—l presume that the Cortes will be satisfied with the reply that bas been given to his Ma jesty's speech; at least lam so. It certainly appears to me, that it would be proper, in order to facilitate the ea cessary arrangements for toe removal of the Govern ment, that the president and the four Secretaries should be authorized to form themselves into a special commit tee to settle all that may be necessary for the said re moval. I would also wish that this committee, excited solely by its zeal, should make a report of the measures that may he adopted on this subject. In this manner I conceive the object of the Cortes will be completely at complished;and !shall make a formal proposition on this point. CORTES, TUESDAY, MARCO 4.—A emismanication from the Secretary of State for Grace and Jultice, in formed the Cortes that his Majesty continued indisposed by the gong and that her Majesty the Queen was more relieved from her spasms. No business of importance oeeorred in this sitting. MADRID, Maacn 4.—Senores Perri Calderon and Calvo de Rozas have addressed the following letter to the Secretary orthd Home Department:—' • " Excellent Sir,—Determined on making the greatest sacrifice thit cool t be required of us, we yesterday came to a resolution to accept one of us the office of Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and the other that of Secretary for Finance, relying chiegv on the assistance which we should receive in the folfilment of those arduous duties from our appointed colleagues. Having since learned that two of the latter have ten dered their resignations, we hasten to request your Ex cellency to convey to the knowledge of the King our final determination to sopplicate hit Majesty to permit our re tirees' tat from office.

Huakisson was snorting out war amidst his braying brothers of Liverpool ; When Mr. Brougham was calling for a fleet to be equipped, and Sir Francis Burdett was proposing to put aside all our sass dist , and• to think about nothing but the vital i. - terests or mankind; when, in short, that horrible horde of stock-jobbers, the owners - of the London Press, wet e cramming their own columns and vomiting out the over_ flowinge Into the colninns of their understrappers in the counter lebenall this'enut going on, it would have been strange, indeed; If, it a comment when the funded sta r s seemed all to be /a jeopardy ; it. would have beers strange, indeed, if greediness and ignorance' joined ' had sot produced the extensive speculation of corm It did produce such speculation ; and the natural con settecnee was, that sudden :vise of price which we saw take place. Under ordinary rircumetances, this rise would have been *scribed to the tette cause; and would have been attended with no corseettence other than that of the ruin of wine of the speculators, and of a loss on the part of the whole of them. lint, under the present circumstances, this rise in the price of corn has been ' ntaie a. matter of great public importance, and it will barely fail to be proluctire of effects infinitely greater than, in ordleary circumstances, it could possibly have produced.—The Landlords, the Parliament and the Mi nistry, the Ines and Jobbers, ant the infamous new*. papers f all these parties are to be looked upon as being (as fur as relates to this matter) on one tide: and, I on the other side. I tell the landlords, you must reclote the Interest of the Debt, yuu must repeal Peel's Bill, and pet out assignees, or you must lose your estates ; be cause, with Peel's Bill and with Debt unreduced yon can -have no rents out of the low prices that gold pat - men . s occasion. To do either of the three things, the Landlords are afraid : the very thought of either makes them tremble. They want gold cud high prices too. The Parliament and the Ministry feel pre: cisely as the land'orde do, eti , h this addition, that they dread the moment of beng called upon by the landlords to repeal Peel's Bill, or to reduce the interett of the debt; and yet they must be convinced that the whole of the landlords will rot give up their (*fetes quietly. 'I he Parliament end the Mill!.. try, therefore, wieb for high prices, without any repeal of Peel's Bill. The Jews and Jobbers e Gold naturally wish to see - wheat it a Shifting a bushel ; but they are afraid of bringing things to such an extremity. They do not want a repeal of Peel's Bill, which would cause them to be paid off in good honest assignats ; and they are le s willing to have their interest reduced. They therefore wish fur prices such as. will Prevent desperate deeds being attempted by the landlords. Their fears,and not their justice, make theni wish for p-ices of agricultural produce, sufficiently high to induce the landlords to go quietly on, surrendering their estates to them. The infamous netc papers have all the feelings of the Jews and Jobbers in the first place; and besides three feelings, they have the mortal dread of everlasting glory to me, end of everlast ing diagrace to themselves, in the adoption either of the . measure of reduction of debt or that of issuing of astir nate. One of these must be adopted, 1 say, or, the Land , lords must all lose their estates. The infamous press can I see clearly that this*propheey must be fulfilled, and that the fulfilment most be manifest to all the world, unless there be a rise of prices.—Now, the basis of my dactr;ne oast my predictions is this; that upon an average of sea son, and for any continuation, the bushel of wheat cah oot be, take the kindest' throughout, higher than from four to fine shillings the bushel. All the parties ahore mentioned, animated hithafeelings which I have truly imputed to them, have, therefore, caught, eagerly caught at ; leaped at ; desperately laid hold of, the recent rise in the price 'of corn ; which, they insist, h:s rot been at, all owing to 'sprealutions on the *mixt'e tivion of Wififlint that, it has been an effect of regular ielititi'libich are' pow beginhltig - to work 'I
