TMs opinion was not confined to the smaller freeholder, of the county, best per vaded the highest tanks; sad it being understood that the members of the illustrious House of Cavendish cud other, of the Nobility viewed it iu this light, it was expected, nod in deed announced, that au amended Address would be pro psed to the meeting. Moder these circumstances, an immense concourse of people flocked into the town early is the forenoon, (ruin all parts of the custody, and early awaited the hour of assess. bring, which was fixed fur 12 o'clock. At that time the Sheriff perocreded to the Hall, and the doors being opened, the hustings, the Crown and Nisi I'ettie Court., and the specious booty of the Hall itself, were in stantly filled by the usaltiteules who had crowded about the place of inettiag. Every part of the buildaeg bring thronged, and an eager and anxious concourse uf people being still unable to gain aehiliesion, it was proposed that the meeting should be adjourned to the Hall-yard. But this opscions area appearing already crowded, and no accommo . detirsu having bees provided there for such nu emergency, it was deemed imprecticahle, however desirable, to comply with the wishes fur adjournment so loudly expressed. The tumult thus occasioned was excessive, and a very cousider. able time elapsed before *Bente was so far obtained as to al low the Sheriff to declare the ourpues of the meeting. Having succeeded is Heil, and being called to the their, he came forward in the most madly manner to declare his high Belief of the humour thus conferred upon him, hula determina tion to dileharge the &dire of hie urinous station with strict impartiality, and liia earnest desire that the peaceable, orderly conduct of the meeting should afford to every per son who wished to deliver his stutiments, whatever might be his political opinions, a patient and attentive bearing. After this Su Gtoftela Citeeig rose to more the Address, loot it is impassible to desceibe the indignation which was manifested its every part of the Hall when he came forward. This was the more remarkable, as his cliaramer and conduct are deservedly held in high estimation threolglsout the county : the tumult with shish he was assailed is therchne to be referred solely to the unpopidar occasion on which he presented himself to the notice of the meeting. After many vain attempts on the part of the Sheriff and his Grace the Duke of Devonshire to obtain for Sir George a quiet hear. lug, and after many tumultuous calls to the High Sheriff, on the part of sums of the leadisig requisitionists, to dis solve the meeting (which calls were the loudest wit. there was a promise of silence), the worthy Baronet ad dressed his olsnerratione to those immediately surrounding Lim, and concluded by reading a very abort Address, of which the folluwiug is a copy " To Tile BMWS won IgIetILLIST 1114.11IeTT. " We, rue Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects. the No. bility, Gentry, Clergy, and rreeholde.s of the County of Derby, beg have to offer to yonr Majesty the assurances of our ioviulable fidelity to the Throne, and of our firm deter.. 'Muslims to support our unrivalled Coostitetion in all its branches, on which depend our security soil happiness." This was secouded by Sir ROIIIIIIIIT WIt,IIIOT, of Chaddes. deo, amidst the mine noise and cuansiuu that had attended the mover of it. It was also read distinctly and loud.y by the Under sheriff. tat it 'term dto be the fixed determine. time of en inealculable enajurity of those present, to receive sou address whatever from any of the party who had signed the requisition. Lined snit long and repeated calls were, in the mean time, made for the Doke of Devonshire, aad his name was hailed with tine most enthusiastic shouts of epplanse. At length his Grace rose to mese the •mended . Address, and amidst repeated interruptions of applause, mixed with ocessioolal ellpreMllollll of disappoiotineut and dormay from the already discuenfiled Kequiftionials, delivered his seutinieuts to the fulluwiug effect : Ile began by staling that he wan ready at nit times when occasion required, to testify. tooth by his upiniun and by his comfurt, his loyalty to his King, owl his noelterahle attaria meat to the constitution a. by law established ; but ilisi he should discharge a part wily of his duty if, while he eon. l• yed those opissions to the thrusts, he did 'nut accuinpmey them by a statement or the ca..,,es which, iu Lis opinion. hail led to the present agitation of the country.

If nut the whole, the chief part of all these evils is to b • Bound its the unfortunate soul dis awes, cosiosels of there who advised the prosecution 111 be instituted' against the Queen. The public continua fail to sesspett the • purity of those who prufessid that the ;Ono`, done to public morals be the cuadurt of the Omen abroad was the motive of the prosecution, and who yet were willing to have encouraged and countenanced that evil by making her an allowance of 50,0001. per annum if else Would continue to lire abroad its the very place Fhere beg supposed vffences were committed.

Are we then, exclaim ri his 'Grace, to be surprised if a loyal, noble, unit generous people adopt with ardour cad with *eel the cause of their Qom's, whom they consider injured and oppressed ? Are we to be surprised if, in their ardour, and ins their seal, they meensiorally exceed those hounds which extreme prudence and "ober wisdom would prescribe? The public had u right to expect that too Ministers would dare to iu 'Blum a proceeding uf such importance and solemnity Wilbuut the clearest and strongest proof. Yet, its the et molt, they hove been compelled, in obedience to llw flared vales of the people, to abandon their over nun. sure. But the evils of this disastrous proceeding have taut ceased with the proceeding itself. They have sunk deep, aud it is i4l be feared they have done wore to injure the morals of the country, and to shake the stability of the Throne, than all that 'weld have been done its a long course of years by theme designing persons whose shorts are supposed to have bees su successful as to have inspired upon the country the necessity of making a pub lic declaration of its loyalty.

His Grace then read the amended Address, during which he was repeatedly interrupted by the noisy vociferation@ of the requisitlonists,"calling on the Sheriff to dissolve the meting. This was their last vain attempt to disturb the proceeding., fur, on witnessing the enthusiasms of the meeting in the re ception of the amended Address, they stook sway from the Hall. Their lumbers, however, were so incoosiderable in comparison with the multitude remaining, that their depar ture was scarcely noticed. T. W. Coke, just. Esq., one of the - Members for the Re. rough of Derby, seconded the amended Address in a short but forcible speech. The Address was then adopted by ilse most euthusiastic burst of applause ever beard in that Hall. On a motion that the Lord Lieutenant and the Members fur the County should ht requested to prevent the Adams, Hanel - Ttionntiim, Esq. spoke w follows:—" Loyslty to the King sod attachment to the Constitution appear to use to belong so naturally sad so necessarily to every Eng. liah Gentleman, that it would be 'oohing but ma Idle waste of your lime, sad insult to your understaioling., were I to titter into any professions of this nature.

If it be elan' why so ilit•ousiderable a person as myself should have ink titled on your notice, I can motor you that 1 have done so a itli extreinc thifielfuee and relocisuce: but the requisi- Demists have proclaimed that a crisis has arrived! and I ad. mit that a crisis has indeed at:lived which calls upou every private gentlcansu holding those upenions which I hold to stand award And avow them, and to place himself (for the security of his property and the safely of the Sisk) betwixt an arbiliary Gown nmeut and so indigusut people. With these feelings and these opinions, I cuedially approve of the amended Address of the Noble Duke, and move that it be signed by the Sheriff on behalf of this meeting, asolpresented to his Majesty elly the Lord Lieutenaut and the Members of the County. On the motion of Thanks to the Noble Lords who opposed the Bill of Pains and Penalties. &smut,. Fox, Esq thus addressed the meeting : — l4 It may be deemed somewhat intrusive in my offering myself to the notice of ilus meeting ; hut I feel impelled to come forward by a sense of duty which I owe to soy brother freeholders of the county—a count y hitherto nut exceeded by any in England iu our pat Minnie and gentriue loyalty, under every difficulty which Providence bail destined us to endure, ur which the folly of man has heaped upon as.

Let us he sober, however enthusi astic; temperate, yet firm; moderate, but resulute suit fear less; •ucl the country may be yet saved'." The cooduet of the Mama throughout this interesting itieetiag was distingnislied by the most iiiBcsible firmness sod impartiality, and the most tom:illative moderation and urbanity; and the vole of tbauks, expressive of the full approbation of the assembly, was carried by the loudest plaudits. Thus terminated a tweeting called together at the instiga lieu of a very few issdivaduals (for great pains were bestow al to get op the Eequisition)—individuals who Nem to imagine that they enjoy a sort of m ,saupuly of loyalty ; and the result of the pruceedengs may teach them, if any thing can, that the feelings of the great body of time people emtuut be outraged in vain; that there exists in Bri tons, spite of the calumnies which have bees charged upon them, a spirit of unruliness which disdains to in sult as unprotected female—a feeliug of loyally, which revolts from the base attempt to degrade au injured Queen—a BUMe of honour, which cannot endure the:charges preferred only by profligacy and perjury—and a love of their country, which lead. them to rally round their King and their Constitution in the hour of danger, a helper that danger arise from the designs of popalar demagogues, or fruin the more covert but not less dangerous attempts of Miuistersl corroptiuse.

The Vice•Eieuttnatit and Convener having been called to the Chair, took that opportunity of swing the reasons which lie believed to have actuated the Gentlemen who signed the Heap ll i l itm, and himself, in call ing the meeting. Only • few months had paned since dis •ffection had broken mit into actual rebellion. That the same spirit still existed was manifest nom the late at tempts to itiflueuce and overawe the proceedings of Parlia ment; and the same rentintents were uttered in the preaenee of the second person in the matey, in addresses I the lower orders—he said the lower orders, because he did not believe a single respectable person bad signed them; the same sentiments were reechoed in the answers to these ad• dresses, and triumphantly promulgated by the periodical publications, and greedily devoured by the unthinking met titade. 'Mae design of this meeting was, under these cir cumstances, to 'hew to their Sovereign, their frlluw-subjecte, and to all Europe, that Britain is still sound at beset. He • concluded by expressing a hupe, that whatever Addresses should be proposed, harmony world prevail. The Sheriff Clerk then commenced reading an Address, when he was interrupted by Mr. Groot of Ruthiensurchus s on the more of irregularity; lie übserved, that if the paper in his 'fiend was an Address, nu iverewii had moved or conrleil it ; upon which Mr. Fraser of Cullstrekie said, it was an Address which he would now take the liberty of moving, and it was seconded by Major Fraser of Newton. The Clerk was about to resume, when it was suggested, that if any letters of apology had been received they should now be read. The Preses handed lto the Clerk, swim read first • letter from Mr. Fraser, of Fingssk, one of the reqdisit knees's, apologising feir his absence. The tam was from Colonel MeeDwiell, of Glengarry, dated at Perth, complaining of the shortness of the notice given, and stating his opinion. that there was no disloyalty or infidelity in this country. A note was read from Mr. M'lntosili, of Farr, staling his inability to attend the meeting boas ill health, Lot that he approved of its objects. A leiter was Aso read from Major Duff. of Aluirtowa,approviirg of the object of the meeting. The Clerk then again proceeded to read the Address, which pm ported to be an Address from the Freeholders, Commissioners of Supply, Justices of the Peace, sad other Heritors of the County, when it was observed by s gentle mau present that the last meatiusied class, to which lie be 'nutted, had nut been summoned by the Convener, and that it was not, iberefuie, correct to assume their cone tn that in which lift power of dissent had beet. given them; Iley were accordirgly struck out. and the Clerk was allowed to read the Address without further ititerruption. Having dime so, a @fleece of some mimeses tamed, when Mr Ormit,eif flothieniurchus, rose and said, that lie expected to hear fr..ni some person the reasons fur movie% the Address; that he never was at • public meeting in his life where • gentleman came forward and proposed to send au Ad dress to the Throwe ' without having, or assigning, some reason or isrmessity for au doing. Ilting accidentally is the neighbourhood,-lie considered it his duty to attend the meeting, although he thought, will. Gleugerry, that the length of the notice was lint sufficient. He was not forward upon such occasions, nod did not desire to interrupt the proceedings of the great propm tun. of the gentlemen present, feeling as he did, more than respect, asis cerc affection fur urea) , of them. Ile, however, thought it utterly aliened, that thirty-three gentlemen should take it upon themselves to declare the opinions of this extensive county. it was nut a county meeting: the Welton were not called; soil the thirty-three geollemen present were nut • tithe eves of the parties who bail been *amniotic'''. lb* meeting might be assembled in a family, sot any occasion of domestic rejoicing: in such a usertinc, lie should think it absurd to make a speech. He considered the Ad dress to imply the existence of sedition and blasphemy in this county, which was contrary to fact.—[An oh Mon being made that the expressioaa were general, and were nut intended to convey any such ides]—Mr. Grant defied any man to read that part of the Address, sod to say list • person who did not know the county, would not sup• • pose !bat such practices did exist here. He objected to it, because a stigma would be thou falsely attached t• a loyal mid religious community, is order iudireetly to convey an approbatioa of the late measures of Ministers. When a public meeting is called, at a period of great agita tion like the preseut, the notated inference is, that the words used to express the reuse of the meeting se.r to the Mime of this agitation. Though this was undoubtedly implied, and is well lumen to be the use uniformly made of such Addresser, he was persuaded that if an approval in en loamy words of the proceedings of Ministers regarding the Qum., were pal Iss the Address, so m• miser of the meeting, nor airy man in his senses, would sign it. He wergild beg leave to ask if say Geatleman present would stand up and say that he approved of these proceedings—(no one baring done sea)—Le was therefore entitled to assume, as he was previously convinced was the fart, that nu Gentleman pre sent did approve of three proceedings. Ile would even dare to say, subject to consensus, it wrung, that there were mil theem Gentlemen present, who would sign au address ap proving directly of the measure.. of Ministers geserallp The present agitation in the country was chiefly using tu the ill.advised measures ageism* the Queen ; stud that tom nig notoriously the fact, it was the duty of every honest maw to oppose the adoption of au adshess, which woeld be construed elsewhere into an approval of aseassum s of which so party voting it confessedly did appease. It being well knows and aelteowledged, that in this part tsf the custatrx seditious or irreligious doctrines had made no progress, and tbat our press did not disseminate either the ~- r . one* the Aug, we had no right, madmen gal eatided, to went of what tams pleat* da other parts *TiberSmut's: Lel ahem *peal fee thermals.. ; we has. modal* of srioit occurred there bait by report. He woold, therefore, if ow emaciates: who had brought fog' rd the Address which ha beets read, diihuot accede to 'weds aiterations as would re move what was objecillonahle, GM it necessary to MTh', as an erhemlnient, another Address, Ulsech he thee read. Me. FRAUtit,, younger. 01 . Turbreck, hi seconding the ad dress proposed by Rothiemurchus,observed, that lie wish. ,I to state his opinions use the rage which slow agitated the pubs lie. because be d•ffered entirely from a high personage uss die subject; the withdrawal of she Bill of Palos sad Penal. ties gave the fatal stab to the demagogues, to *hem &lour the passage complai mil of could relate; it was the proudest triumph to the people of England; without catering into the guilt Or innocence of the gums, be considered her an ill. used, persecuted trotinao, who was retitled at least to the sympathies of a free and generous people, isle whose area she haul thrown'herself. He considered fhe proceediugs spins! her illegal and unconstitutional; for he hruf yet Si, l earn how to reconcile with justice the making a law against a particular person t on account of action preiriusoly commit ted by that person. No man could say who had lb, lust regard for the happy constitution aud ego' lahle laws under who'll we live, that he could wish so ore it dawn into a per cedent, that a *object of Britain could he used by a trills. gal where the character of accuser., pruseeut.rre,judges,swil jury, were combioed in the same holividuals. He wag out of those who thought that public opinion strould l o g arog , the deliberations of the logislaiare. He concluded with asserting his Nein/Sum to loyalty, which, he said, wield out give place to that of any other man, and fur which he was ready, should occasion auliapeily occur, to lay down his life. Mr. FRASER, of Relig, believed that the coasitry had bees infested by the wretched Radicals, with whom no respectable person in ur out of Parliament has a fellow-petits,. lashed, the conduct of both the great parties in she State, on the late occasion, appeared to bin' most houoseableind bccons• log; and he deprecated the isatroduction of any discussion of the late proceeding againet the Queen, to which, as one of the Requisitionists, he declared before God it was not intended Oust the Address should have reference di' s &Cy or iudir city; that 111•Ii1r was 'brown culls ely out of view by the &gun gitionists, and not mono( to be at all touched upon kik.: other Geol. meet resent who signed the itiquieltion cor roborated this doetuatiou.) Of that procer , ttug be would say nothing, but it was quite notorious, this very recently the priociplea of radicalism had been earl Ira the length of open rebellion, and therefore he thought it the duty of every good subject to approach she Throne, and (Wince that be would resist sack attempts with his life slid (mimic. Of the Admiuietrations formed by our late revered S..ve. reign George 111. and of tlie psineiples acted upon by Mt.

Of his Iliskagys. seat Ministers, be generally approved; and rithutigh he did not consider himself of sufficient impoitatice to be forward in delivering his kentimesits ou public quesiiirus, yet a s a rational being, he could out help exercising log thoughts oar Slate occurrences, and he most say that there wire some gets of the preload Aministmtiun which he thought wrong, and of which lie could not approve. But siihouei he dis approved of some of their me: snies, be ceocusred in the propriety of the Aridness, and did not see the necessity of sup sheratiou—ssioce it was never contemplated, as be bad already maid, directly or indirectly, to approve of their bite. proceedings, and this, he thought, should be Cully and pub. tidy understood. After some discussion, the Geatientaa who proposed the original Address conceded some verbal alterations, mid ass entire daime from the 'opposing Address was introduced to the following I feet—" But we have the utmost satisfac tion is. being able to assure your Majesty, that in this part of your Majesty'. dominions there exists nu spirit of die. affection, of irreligion, or of immorality—low have any at tempts been made, so for as we have bees able his learn, either by the circulation of books and writinga, or other wise, to shake the loyalty, or'to corrupt the manners of the people." The Address, thus altered, was suoimonaly adopted as the sentiments of she meeting, Rut hiensurchus de claring that he consented to the concluding paragraph, where the rigour sad wisdom of Government was applauded, on this distinct undersisilding, that the expressions had re ference to the shag and the Constituted Authorities in a general sense, and nut to his Majesty's present Ministers, who, he denied, either collectively or individually, pos. smiled either vigour or wisdom ; but that, 01/ the contrary, they had displayed iu their proceeding's imbecility and inde. cision, aid the very reverse of wisdom. The Convener here apologised for the absence of the Lord Lieutenant, who, lie said, had engaged himself otherwise, before be bad been made acquainted with that day utsneeting. Rothiemurchus proposed sled the letters rem/ to the meeting, particularly these from Glengarry sod Mr. Duff, should form part of the proceedings. The Convener said hr did not thick it would be proper to load she proceedings by taking in these letters, but that t h ey would be referred to generally in the A vote of thank., to the Convener, for his conduct in the Chair, au then proposed. - NAVAL INTELLIGANCE.
