J . - The resoluuons and petition of both gentlemen were again read. H. &my, Esq. now said, that he gave his hearty con anent. to Mr. Williams's resolutions, as be thought si l ty would be more effective if acted upon in relieving the distress which prevailed. To enter upon any discus inn es to the nature of that distress was now mimes ivy, as it was well known and severely felt by all who beard Lim; but ho might be allowed to say a word or two as tote mode by which it might be remedied. He oas one who would sincerely reprobate any plan of re ef which went to support the agriculturists at the ex po,* otany other class of the community. If any plan pf that kind, as any which involved even the slightest violation of the national faith, were proposed; he would be among the first to oppose it. If, however, it eouldbe Shown that the agriculturists bore a greater portion of ihetiOrbs or the country than any other class—tbat thiy only were pressed down by county rates and poor rates and a landholder of moderate income had to pay a large portion of these,w bile another, having tens of thousands/ n he funds, was exempt from them, lie thought there was ain't ground of complaint, and that the petition, to put all property upon the same footing in this respect, could not be deemed unreasonable. ' The fundholder had the same protection from the eiVil and military iostitutioos of the country, and he ought in fairness to contribute his equal proportion. It might be said that they . had taken their estates subject to such burdens. He denied the jus tice of the argument. If they went back to 1792, it would be found that the increase of the burdens of poor rates, County rates, and otber taxes on land, bad been mita nious, and OM of all proportion great as compared wilt the burdens of the other classes oi the community. Ho therefore repeated. that it was by no means unreasonable.l to ask that all the taxes should be equalized. He held iu his hand a document which had been moved for in Par- Dement by Mr. Chetwynde—a statement of the expenses of the county of Brecon for seven years; and it there app-ared that the county rates of last year were 3,1411.. making a large proportion, somewhere, he thought, about one:seventeenth of the rental of the county. Was it, he would ask, fair that this should be borne exclusively by one art of men ? He was aware there was a great pre judice against such meetings as the present ; but surely nothing could be more natural than that they who felt tlemuselves aggrieved should complain and seek for re dress. Among other objections to agricultural meetings, it was !it'd that their object was to raise the price of agikultural produce. He had no such wish; but he did wish to lower the cost of production ; togive to the f ,rmer a fair remunerating sale for his produce by lessening the burdens under which he laboured. If these burdens were spread equally amon g all classes, it could make no difference in the minister ial budget, as the re., turns would be the game. If this took place, and Heine tain taxes applicable to the landed interest tier. remised; there could be no alteration in our financial system, es. rcpt, perhaps, that the sinking fund might be reduced from five millions to three--a circumstance from which no disadvantage could accrue to public, credit. If he thought it would, he would not support it ; for he would give his sanction to nomeasure which would in any way infringe upon the national credit.—(.:beers.) After a few words in explanation, between Mr. LIAM and Mr. 6WTNNE, the latter consented to withdraw his resolntione and petition. Major Pa ice said, he wont , 1 repeat here what he had said elsewhere, that they who called the county together OR this occasion aught to be prepared with some practicableplan of relief. Ile saw none in any of the resolutions before the meeting. if the object wu to say that distress existed among tha agriculturists of Breconshire, they were borne out by the experience of every land holder in the county.— However, as it might be of some advantage to let the Hone. of Commons know the partieelers of dist distress, he woeld support the resolutions of Me. Williams. He, however, would not consent to any measure which would press on the fends only. If there were to ►any alteration, let the pres sure on all classes be equal. Mr. Ho•rcnsis suggested that as bountieshad been given by the Levislature to different branches of trade, to emu rage enterprise In those concerned, the granting a bounty to the exporters of home-grown corn would bee great relief to the agriculturists fend at the same time such exportation, confined to British shipping, manned with British seamen, wee a ou.sery for that valuable class of men. The Bev. CHARLtS GRIIMTHS opposes! this, as going against the spirit of the resolutions already before the meeting, which condemned the taxing of one part of the country at the expense of the other.—(Near, hear.) The Ikon SHIM'Sr observed, that as the addition which the gentleman proposed was not seconded, it must fall to the ground. The HIGH SHIM?r then put the resolutions of Mr. William seriatim:, and they were all unanimously adopt ed; as was also the petition bonded on them. It was then moved and carried, that the Lord Liente mast of the ronnty (the Duke of Beaufort) be requested to present the petition to the Lords, and to support its prayer; also, that Colonel Wood, the member for the county, be directed to prevent the petition to the Com mon., and to support its prayer. It was then moseil, that Arthur Wilkins, Esq. M.P. for Radnorshire, and William Alexander Maducks, Esq. M.P. for Chi ppenhasn, be requested to support the peti tion by their vote and interest. On the motion of the Rev. THOS. WILLIAMS, thunks were voted to John Owynne and Henry Williams, Ergrs. for their exertions in bringing about this meeting. and also for the zeal they had shown in their endcavou.fs to procure some relief to their suffering brother free holders. Mr. J. GWYNNa moved that the thanks of the meeting be given to the High Sheriff, for his impartial conduct in the chair, and for his readiness in convening the free holders on the present occasion—an example worthy of imitation by all persons filling similar high official situ ations. This was put and carried by acclimation. The High Sneriff brieNy returned thanks, after which the meeting equaled. LATE NEOOCIATION BETWEEN PRANCE 4iND SPAIN. A private letter from Bladrhl, dated March 25, states the following particulars relative to the late negocia bon:— " When the Spanish Government requested the MI dia. lion of England, I have already observed, they sent a formal despatch to that effect to Sir W. A'Court, which they desired he would transmit to thii Government. He did so: and when the British Government received this communication they transmitted it to the Government of France. This was immediately after the resolutions of the Congress of Verona were made known to the Spa nish Government through the medium of the fao ions Notes. The date of the despatch above-mentioned, was the 31st of January. In answer to the communication transmitted by England to France, the latter rep lied that his Majesty's Government was disposed to receive through England aoy proposition which Spain might 'deem it expedient to make, and several conferences took place between our Minister at Paris, and M. Ville'', the result of which was that the terms to which the French Government was willing to accede were put down in writing and sent to Sir W. A'Court. These terms sere—that the Cortes should, in the first place de cree—the definitive .execution of the 92d Article of the Constitution should pass a more effectual law with respect m the regulation of the press—that the Cionn cil of State should have a deliberative voice—be in creased to the number of eighty, and chosen either us at present by nomination of the King on the postulation of the Cortes, or modelled after the plan of the Senate of the . United States, and finally that the King should Lave an absolute veto, The 93d article above referred ST to, is as follows: . 64 It is trecessammoriover, that a can; indite, In order to be elected Deputy of Cortes, should lie possessed of a prop ortioaate annual income arising from his own property." The 99d 'article. as the Constitution stands at present, suspends the enforcement of the pre. ceding article, until the Cortez shall declare that the time has arrived for giving it effect, and then they shall settle the amount of income, and the quality of property from which it most arise, d that which they may de-, ' cree on this point shall be conoidered as much a part of the Constitution. as if it had been originally inserted in the fundamental code.—.--- " When Sir W. A'Coort received these propositions. 10 went to the Minister of State, and said " You have re quested Orli mediation to prevent War ; my Government has exerted its best offices to comply with your request, and here are the terms which the French Government has transmitted to me to be submitted to your consider- Intim Yonwill bear in mind that I, as the Minister of !England, have nothing to do one way or the other with !the character of these propositions. lam here in the character of a mediator, or rather, indeed, as an arbitra tor, to hear what both partiee have to my, and as they do not communicate directly with each other, it is my"stro ple duty to mention to one side whatever Las been said or proposed on the other." I do not mean to have it understood that these were the exact words which Sir W. A'Court made use df, but his verbal communi cation was to the effect here stated about the 14th of February. " The answer of the Minister of State was also verbal, apd to this effect—that the above propositions were in vio lation of the Constitution. and that they could not be sac cepted. This answer was Gent home, and a conitnuoica tioo was made to France by our Cabinet, showing the necessity of making different propositions. After several conferences, it was at length found expedient on the part of the French Government, in consequence, no doubt, of the determined attitude taken by England after the meet log of Parliament, to reduce her propositions to this effect —that the Cortes should declare the time for enforcing the 92d article of the Constitution to have arrived ; that they should render the law on the press more effectual; and finally, that they should declare the interpretation of the 375th article of the Constitution. This article enacts, that no alteration shall be madein the Constitution until eight years shall have elapsed after it has been put in ext.- cuttoo in all its parts. The Constitution was originally established in 1812, but doubts are entertained whether the six years from 1813 to 1820 should be included in its epoch. The Cortes were required to resolve these doubts, and to declare either the time when the eight years had expired, or when they would expire. If these terms were acceded to, the war would not take place, and the French armies were to be removed from tha frontiers. " To these propositions the Minister of State sent a written answer, declaring that the Government of his Catholic Majesty had resolved to enter into no negociations cf this sort with that of his Most Christian Majesty. " Notwithstanding this determination on the part of the Ministry, you may hive perceived that a motion is pen ling in Cortes for altering the law on the press, and I am well assured that the other parts of tue latter French proposi tions have been agreed to by a number of the Deputies of Cones, very nearly amounting to a majority, ■nd they are resisted only by Augustin Arguelles and Lis friends. " It is reported here that the Ultimatum of the French Government has been, a few days ago, sent to Sir William A'Court, and that he deems it useless to present It until the new Ministers are in ofbee."— MAI AM DVS. 1 2....Deblin 0 2....Waterford I 0....0 &Jersity 0 0....Li5b00 2 o....Gottenburg 1 LS. •RR.

The Stockiobbing press can hardly believe its eyes, though it is confident enough in most cases; but, it can hardly believe its eyes, now that the Bourbon army has actually begun the war! The news of Saturday, shows, that blood has been shed. We have only to say : may it please Gov to make this blood tend to the de struction of bribery and corruption ! Let it tend to de stroy this infamy to the earth, and then we shall say, let it flow ! Gatton and Old Sarum look sour at this inva sion of Spain. It must, then, be good for England in the end. Curious, that the Ministers are to make their first discharge in the illustrious House just on the very day that we hear of the French having made the first dis charge in Spain ! We shall hear how cleverly Mr. Can ning the Shield-man, will make it out, that it is for the honour of England that France should take her " out works." 46 THE CRY OF FRANCE." 'Es iAr y lA. %%tit* , An aticle dated Frankfort, April 8, contained in Dutch ppers received this morning, announces that a third Tartar has brought fresh accounts to Belgrade re specting the fire in Constantinople, and letters from Adriawmle had likewise given some particulars of it. in the last it is positively st ted, that the arsenal and the common foundry were greatly injured, but that the suburb d Pera was spared. According to the statement brought iy the Tartar, the Palace of the British Ambas sador sal suffered very much, and that the Turkish Governnent back banished the Grand Vizier.by way of satisfattion to the Ambassador; from which it was pre sumedthat the Janissaries ha I been concerned in the occurrnce. Thenly political intelligence in these papers is that the Paha of Adrianople has received orders to march to Salonihi with all the troop in his Government, amount• log to 9,000 men, in order to join the Seraekier Mel►- med Pcba, against the Greeks ; and that the Greeks are now trated very amicably in the lonian ' , lands. Nego elation are even said to be on foot betae-n the Lord High lommissioner and the "Senate of the Mores. Therienna Gazette contains an extract of a private letter, rom Mr. Berry, agent to the Swedish fictory at Canton giving an account of the dreadful fire at that place, o the 2nd of November last. The number of Chinestbuildings stated to he destroyed is 12,000.

The Chinet continued in deliberation till p ist fire o'clock.—Tbe Attorney and Solieitor-tieneral, also the AttorneyOeneral for jr land, were in attendance during the sittirr of the Cabinet. Mr. Riley, a King's Messenger, arrived last night at the offictof the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with denatches from Sir Charles Stuart, at Paris, and from ieott, Esq. the British Consul at aurae tux, the fat er °Wednesday last. Mr. Oarles O'Gorman went off on Saturday morning, at six o'lock, with despatches for Madrid, in a chaise and font His directions were to proceed to that city with allponsible expedition. Mr. trier, of the Foreign Office, arrived in town on Saturdw, the sth inst., on his return from Spain, by the way of Lisbon. It was this gentleman who came from bladrid.itid not Mr. Villiers, as erroneously stated in our papr of Saturday. Mr. Villiers brought despatches from St Petersburg, where he was attached to the Em bassy of Sir C. flagot. Lettes from Rome state that Cardinal Gon4alvi is so ill that his recovery is despaired of by the Physicians. Carding Spina, who was deputed to the Congress of Verona,in the quality - of Plenipotentiary of the Pope, is alreadyteleeted to succeed him as Secretary of State for Foreigr Affairs. A snail squadron is immediately to be employed on the north east of Spain ; the ships and vessels of which it is to be composed are assembling at Plymouth. The Parthiox and Tittetsfo will proceed thither from this port In the course if a few days.—( Hampshire Chromie . e.) Another Naval Promotion will, it is said. take place on the Mt inst. in honour of the celebration of his Majesty's birth-dq.—(lbid.) Daytime papers which have arrived to the 6th instant, assert fiat Colonel O'Donnell will retire without attempt ing atryiesistance with the 800 men that he has in Iron, and them himself into St. Sebastian, where' there are al ready 2100 men. A courier who arrived at Bayonne on 1 the 4th mys, that preparations are made to blow up the bridgeson all the Rivers as far as Madrid, and even far ther, aid that the inhabitants are disposed to make every sacrificein order to detain, to starve, and to destroy in detail tle invading army. A traveller just returned here from a tate along the coast of Spain says, that in all the ports thee are privateers provided with letters of marque, which vill have permission to put to sea as soon as news is received of the actual invasion of the territory. A Hanburg paper of the filth instant, received yester day, coreains an article from Washington, dated Febru ary 25, which states, " that the British Authassaicor had waited oi the Secretary of State, and read to him a let ter from ilr. Canning, n which the latter formally dig ' claims ali intentions on the part of lireat ;lritain to oc cupy Cubs, and adds, that it would not be hononrable to take advantage of the present weakness of the Spuds's Goverommt for such a purpose. The Ambassador," (it is added)" had formal orders from his lloverntuent to make thiscotnniunication." The mil, by which the above was received, brought the following-article from St. Petersburg. a dated March 20: There is t report that the Emperor will soon go to Mos cow, and thence to Choezina, in bloldavia, and to the frontiers of Bessarabia, to inspect the second army: It wholei s also sail that the of the Imperial Family will reside doing the next summer at Moscow t and that the marriage of his Imperial Highness the Wand Duke MI: ehael will,take place there. DiSP.tICII.-111eSal.cia, Wilson, arrived at Gravesend the sth instant, from Jamaica, and, after discharging be: tsvgo in the West India Dock, sailed from liraves end yesterday, on her return to Jamaica. We have had sent to us a copy of a pamphlet, just pub. listed by R. Gattermaw, called " The cry of France " against the Spanish war and the tyranny of the Boar. " bons." The author (whose name is not given) pro fesses to be a Frenchman, and he clearly is a foreigner; for, in making a comparison between this Government and that of France, what would our readers imagine him to complain of in the Bourbon-Government? iVhy, this; that every religious sect is obliged to pay toe/Ards the support of the, - parish-priests, and that these priests are all Catholics! This author did not know, apparently, how the people of Ireland are treated in this respect! He did not know how we, here, in England, are hu mmed by priests, coming for milk, eggs, and suck log pigs, lambs, and calves. In short, he did not know what he was writing about. This " cry of " France" is written, we are pretty sure, by a Spa niard. Very well in the way of warfare; but, a little MO barefaced to represent the French people as oppressed by a church establishment, and to hold up us poor bar tassed creatures as free from such oppression. There ' , are no Tithes in France; no Church Lands; no Gleher; no Colleges and Fellowships; in short, the French are a free people, compared with us. This Spaniard would do well to write " a cry" for as. We stand a great deal more in need of it than the French. Paris papers to the 12th instant, have arrived singe our last, but they add little to the intelligence we had pre viously received respecting the Army of Invasion.

Kiwe's THEATRE:A new Opera was produced at this house on Saturday evening, under the title of Elisa e Clau dio. Elise (Cantonese) is recently married to Claudio (Cu. atom) son of the Count Arnelde, (Posro) and the action arises chiefly from the endeavours of Claudio to avert hit father's commands to marry Silria, (Ti}Retool') the dough.; ter of a rich Marquis,(PLAcct) and in the exertions of Elisa, who is assisted by her friend Charlotte.(Ciairmont) to ob tain the restitution of her children, who have been torn from her, and to gain the sanction of her marriage from the Count. The Piece was throughout very ably performed. particu larly by CAMPORESE. CaRADORI, and CURIONI. who gave all possible effect to the music. The composition is by Meat toaNtz, a 3 onng man now Krieg we believe at Milan, and the Opera, it is said, was postponed sixty nights suc cessively in that city. It was, however, received on Satur day night, with a most decided coldness ; the best critique upon the opera proceeded from the mouths of the two in fants who were introduced in the second act of the drama ; the prier babes yawned so widely and frequently as to con• vulse the house with laughter, in which Sig. CIJRIONI joined most heartily, though in the midst of his aria d'abilita. They thus manifested their own feelings, and represented those of the audience in a way that could not be misinter preted, and by an argument that bide defiance to ell reply. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIPE.—On Saturday was man tied by special license, Mr. Alexander Baring, to Lady Montague, daughter of the Countess of Sandwich.

Prime parcels of Wheat obtain 'full as good prices as this day se'nnight, but other kinds are s low of sale at last qnotations. Barley Supports its price, but there has not been much business transacted in this article to-day. Beans appear to be recovering again, as some parcels have sold for rather more money. Peal of both duicriptions remain at last week's price. Horse Corn is much enqnired after, as the present consumption is large, and there is therefore a good trade for the article, atrather higher terms titan last Monday. Flour is unaltered. SIIITHEIELD MARKET:The RHIAPI NSA hie shortly sup plied this morning. in consequence of which a higher price wes demanded, both for Seel and Mutton, and the trade was rather brisk. At the Old Bailey this morning, George Plf.ner was convicted of stealine a writing-desk, aa:ne tile pro perty of - James Emery, cabinet-maker, Ca-thnsien street, Clituterhun‘e-svere.
