[Jamie me PAHL GROSVENOR, 6011KIT1 YC APVOIN rut) TO arcErveAA) AP- SUNIICRIPTIONS FOR RAISING AY ADDITIONAL •A7IHED YONCL IN TUC COUNTY ON CHLYTEIL, Orsrettatee —As it is not my intention to contri inoe to the above object. I think it due to persons so highly respectable as yourselves, to myself, and to the enmity at large, to state the reasons which influenced me in declining to subscribe to a central fund, or to raise soy separate force. At the present moment, in this iimghbourhood, every thing is quiet and undisturbed ; and had the existing force of the county been augmented only, by private subscriptions and individual efforts, I should have viewed the proceedings in silence, giving no opinion as 10 its expediency tar disadvantage. Bot called upon, as I have incidentally been, to assist in forwarding Ike object of the late county meeting, I cannot, on an nccasion so-publie, avoid, in a manner as 'midi; 'litchi,- intetay reasons for the line of conduct I mean, after due deliberation to adopt. Those gentlemen of the Com mittee with whom I have the honour and happiness of being acqitainted, will, I trust, do me the justice to ad snit, that I am lint a person likely lobe unwilling, when satisfied that the Occasion is a proper one, to assist in any way in my power, in maintaining the public peace, and in suppotting the credit and security of the county, which must always mainly rest on the faithful execution cf the laws, at: the preservation and prosperity.of our h appy constitution. To form an impartial judgment on the qttestion now before me, I have examined recent events and occurrences withaU the accuracy in my power, and I mint beg leave to revert to certain local events eatunected with these occurrences. The Grand Jury of the county, at the late Assizes, seeing tracts circulated, of a native to undermine out celigious•fahh, and injure our form of Government, naturally expressed their in dignant feelings on the occasion ; .it appears, however, from the result of a late trial, that these attacks on our religion are not likely to be countenanced by.a British Jury, any more, I trust, than by,a British people. And I am also of opinion.. that out happy fonts .of Govern ment is as little in dauger.frum the wild and. pernicious doctrines maintained and disseminated on. the subject of our Constitution. The nation is too much enlightened to be tnisled by such dangerous theories. Whether the voice of the people be sufficiently heard in the Com- Pens House of Parliament, all persor.s may be allowed without criminality. not .ouly.to doubt, .but to dispute ; mall may endeavour to correct what they. consider.a de_ felt in our system, by lawful means, but that that ofiect, in itself legitimate wilco intruttal constitutionally, ought ever to be obtained by force, I deny et peremp torily as I' would peremptorily and steadily resist it. The Parliament, it seeir.=, is to be called together at an earlier period than usual ; and, as we are told, to devise ' , Tans for putting down dimfiection. Ministers, there t ore, I conelndr, . mean •to propose laws still stronger than those that exist for that purpose and this is to he at tempted before any inquiry shall take place into the late oistressing transactions at Nlanchesters.• Why the laws ore-to be strengthened, or the armed force of the country In be generally increased, 1 ant at a loss at present ro discover; fur, whether the late transactions at Man chester were legal or not, there seemed little difficulty i•t enforcing a summary Itraccas, and protecting. if en- Lngereil, the persons a^d tir iperty of the inhabitants. Before, then, reclines(' be had to extraordinary legi.la t:on, and extraordinary arini3,2, it mar be itdriseable to whether the conduct of the :tilagistrary has net I,:cui calor:lam-1 rather lo poultice thrin restrain unlawful e•unliittatinit, nn the past of the people.

It is, I ant aware, twin tabled by some, that it would be best to wait the decision alt abzuibuitals of justice; but, under the.discourage. 11T1 NATIONAL REGISTER: int tits that have recently occurred, one would find a difficulty in recommending perseverance in such a course, particularly aflet the result of the inquest at Oldham— an inquest held for the purpose of inquiring into a charge of wilfulvnurde►, and which should have been brought to a termination as speedily as a due examination of witnesses would allow. It is said, in justification of the extraordinary and alarming adjournment of the in quest to a week after the meeting of Parliament, and the consequent postponement of the verdict, that itwas done at the desire of the:fury. This, however, it is also said, they disclaim; but even had they expressed such a wish, the cause of it should have been made known, in a manner the most distinct and fossnal ; and if, farm in disposition of any of the Tory, on the testimony of me dical men, then as little delay as possible should have been allowed to interrupt the progress of the inquest.— If offences have been committed, let the offenders be punished ; and at all events, let MC give satisfaction to an anxious and inquiring nation. Before, then, we stir a step towards rigorous legislation, or tnenacing arma• went, it behoves us to inquire whether out constitutional laws may not have suffered something from those who have the guardianship of them in•their own hands ; and whether, if that be the case, such violation of its sacred bulwarks may not, in reality, create, if it has not already created, a disixasitirm to retaliate, where no intention, of resistance before es'sted. If, however, contrary to my my expectations, there should, indeed, appear a deter minatieis, openly mid distinctly acted upon, to overitutt the constitution of the country, I shall he ready to exert every means in 41).y power to meet •tad resist such a spirit of hostility, against what I conceive, ill common, thrnbt •less, w•;th the great hotly of the nation, to he the most perfect form of Govertitnent with ,which any country was ever blessed. Durint.; the late war I raiced a corps of Infantry, and subscribed in various instances, to other corps, for the protecaion of my country against a foreign. ettemy.— Nlay God grant that I may never see the hoar when I may he compelled to do so against a domestic one ! It, however, that tuthappy moment should ever arrive, 1 shall not, I. trust, he found wanting, in calling into action all the resources within my sphere of influence. I have the honour to he, with sincere respect, Gen tlemen, your .obedient and feithful.servant, Eaton-hall, Oct. 24. GIt(iSVENOR. FROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE.

We have. received Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday last.• The most important of their con tents are the accounts they furnish of the progress of the dreadful innlady which now afflicts the south ern provinces of Spain. The fever not only rages with undiminished violence in Cadiz, but notwith standing,the flattering reports already published, it seems that the Isle of Leon still labours under its afflicting influence, and that it has manifested itself in the city of Seville. The Queen.of Spain, in her slow progress from the frontier to the capital, was nt Vittoria on the 7th.and Bth of this month. The Authorities in Vittoria, in the simplicity of their hearts, thought to delight their new Sovereign by a skew of bull fights; but her more refined taste and generous Icel. inns revolted at so barbarous , a spectacle, and slit: soon retired from the scene of cruelty, leaving her less sensitive suijects to enjoy the torments of ani. male far nobler than themselves. It seems, however, that this indirect censure of the customs of Spain Las not diminished the respect which the Spaniards of all classes testify towards this young and interest. ing Princess.. The French The per Cents. are 70 f. Bank Actions, 1,18? f. 50 c. , We have received Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday last, one of which states that the Princess of Wales remains at Lyons. The trial of the Editor and Publisher of the translation of Mr. Ilobliouse's history of the Hundred Days took place before the Assize Court of Paris on Monday. It seems that this translation was originally printed at Ghent, and that a copy of it was purchased from a traveller i.t Paris by M. Demere, one of the defendants in the present case.. This copy was shewo to the other defendant, Repeat Warin, who thought it might be published if some parts, which reflected with too. much severity upon the King and the Royal Fa mily, were suppressed. Regnault Warin undertook the task of erasing the most ofl'en'ive parts, and these alterations being made, the book was printed. —At half .past four o'clock the Jury retired, anl returned to the Court at half past six. They pro• nounced the two prisoners Not Guilty of formal attacks upon the inviolahflity of the King's person, &v. but•they declared them Guilty of public insults towards the King, and Royal Family ; and the Court, after some deliberation, sentenced Domere to six months' imprisonment and 1,000 francs fine; anti Rngnault Warin to one year's imprisonment and 1,000 francs fine. A revolution has occurred in the Ministry. of the Ottoman Porto ; and it was executed in the sudden, showy, end melo-dratnatic style, which so often dis. tiuguishes the movements of arbitrary power. Ilia Ilighness announced a grand kvee to be held; the Ministers repaired to it ; and before you could say " Jack Robinson" the Mufti (or Lord Chief Justice of Turkey) was turned out of office. A short time atierwards three other Ministers were deposed—the Grand Master of the Ceremonies, Minister of the Interior, and Grand Marshal. The poor Grand Admiral was accused of various crimes, sentenced, strangled, and thrown into the sea. The bow-string is your o.dy " radical" at Constantinople ; it re forms (not the Parliament, it is true, but) the Mi nistry, beyond all relapsing, and now and then the. Sultan himself.
