DEVON COUNTY AIERTINO. Oa Friday a meeting, ed in pursuance of a requisidoo to the High Sheriff, was held in the Castle yard, Exeter, @flexions hustings having been erected for the purpose is frost of the Sessions-house. A ewe sidenble time before the appointed hour the extensive area began to ill with the yeomanry. At 12 the High Sheriff took his place en the hustings, and was soon joined by many of the leading personages of the county: these, we observed, did not take particular sides, as is usual on party questions, but mixed ladle eriminotely. Some time elapsed before the assembly was'redneed to order, the Sheriff having, u we undet stood, waited the arrival of Lord Rolle. When that Nobleman arrived, the Sheriff briefly addressed the' aseetiag, and requested that every gentleman might hive a patient hearing. The Under Sheriff thee read the vdtkakeiden... end the following letter frost hie' Orneis **Dote( Bedford " Woburn-Abbey. Jan. 28. " Stn-1 perceive by the Exeter papers. that you bate. in compliance with a requisition, numerously sad respectably 'ivied, convened a meeting of the county'of Devoe on Ftidaf the Ist of February, • to take Into' coosideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament, on the present alarming state of the agriculture of the country. " Had 1 been in Devonshire, I should have felt it to be my duty to attend this meeting, but as it is Impos sible for me to be there, I must apologise to you for my absence • and in doing this, I cannot refrain from ex presoini shortly nay view of the momentous question about to be brought ender the. consideration of the county of Devon. 1 have endeavoured to divest my mind of all party feeling, as it is the duty of every man to do on such an occasion t and on the most deliberate and impartial review I can take of the state of the country, shall express free( the conviction of my mind as to the theses of the difficulties under which we labour.

The main cause is, in usy (pi eta!, an oppressive and burdensome taxation, pressing baldly on all the sources of oar national industry; and paralyzing all our efforts to straggle against this over whehigeg evil: the remedy is equally obvious—a re daction of tamitioo, retrenchment of all useless expes diture, and a strict and rigid system of economy in every branch and department of the Government: and to this alone should oar petitions to Parliament be coos lined.

There is, moreover, something odious in the principle of levying a duty on the food of man, and thus raising, by artificial meant, the price of such an article of the first necessity as bread corn. "Taxation is the main cause that p the British cultivator from competing with the corn grower or the Continent; and the overwhelming weight and pressure of taxation, which affects not only the farmer. hut every class of the rommeaity, must be removed.

" It would be entering into too wide a field of discus. sion, to examine the various LOSES wb:rb have brought us into our present difficulties; it will suffice to say, that we must look chiefly to an improvident I` ate of our na tional resources= to an extravagant expench'vre of the public money; to a lavish disregard of ciple of economy, grown into a system, long pursued by the Executive Crovernutent, and sanctioned by a con- Hine House of Commons.

" I have the honour lo be, Sir, " Your very faithful and obedient servant, " Benroan. " Sir John Davie, Bart., High Sheri ff of the county of eron. Earl FORTERCUR came forward. Though what he should have to offer to the meeting would be in unison with the sentiments expressed in the letter of the noble Duke, he begged to disavow any previous mon manic dion with him un the subject. Nut having seen the recrisition before its appearance in the pa pers, he had no share in addressing it to the High Sheriff, but he was glad to have an opportunity of re• turning him his sincere thanks for the readiness with which he convened this meeting. D was his wish, and wonid be hie endeavour, to avoid all .atters irre• levant to the subject which they were met to discuss ; fur certainly the subject was involved in Afficnlties enough not to encumber it with any that did not be long to it. With all the care with which he had in vestigated the snhject, he could not bring his own mind to a satisfactory conclusion ; and he trusted he might be allowed to add, without offence, that he did not coon to this meeting with the expectation of de riving .any conclusive information. He was anxious to exclude a!I extraneous matter, and all reference to party politics, this being a snhject in which they were all sufferers in common.—(llesr.) The low prices affecting every artmM of agricultural produce, ea lanced by a heavy taxation, was the evil of which they had to complain: for, that high tigation and low priers could oat exist together was a truism which he should be ashamed to repeat before so respectable a meeting, were it nut fercibiy applicable to the busi ness betwe them—(lear, hear.) Their object, theref“re, should be to petition Parliament to relieve them (runt a part of that oppressive taxatio:.. He hope.: no means would be need un the preselt to delude ism 'armee Iwo the expectation of deriving relief from ai increased importation-iinty on Core; hr was hot prepared, however, sooty, that it would not a-- slat in the general end ; but so possible regulatios the import duties would meet the wit in any goatee' al . way. They had, doubtless, beard a great deal on a subject which he would have avoided touehing eon were It not likely to become a subject of discoid 't by others—he meant the responsibility of the fun !- holder. Generally, as agriculturist,. they had n much fellow-feeling with that description of persoa : the subject certainly required sctupeloas investig t• ties. aid mature refieetioa ; hut it had bee, said, with snot troth, that they had borrowid large lees aid inerweed the national debt, for the interest of which they were new paying taxes, when money wits is a de based state: being at length resumed to what was -waded a wholesome state of the reerwey, they were -compelled to pay in geed leis what had been har rowed is depreciated Omer. This wall doubtless se jest; but the Mihaly wart. hew to septette the cal milidated masa of debt .; the creditor of 1792 was in volved is that mass in common with the creditor who ,loctivae so during the war, when paper money was de preciated. 'they must, therefore, attack the whole (heir); and if this were termed injustice, or national bankruptcy, he would appeal to every bee present whe thee a nation which could not even protect its mug 'sewers from starving, was not in the worst state of bankruptcy already ? Self-preservati4, thew, was the lest principle to be attended to. Some years ago.i. person would have beer looked upon as a visionary ereculatist who would venture to say that Bank o f England paper was in a depreciated state. Pa l o:* indeed, as convertible as gold ; it passed criteria at the market and the shop ; but the moment tie Notchetone was applied to it, the delusion mash,: i ; sad what was the consequence? There were nit enesient guineas to supply the currency. and sites being circulated as coin. gold disappeared. 'fee Bask had exceeded the King's prerogative of. coining money out of gold and silver. to which he was striated. and had coined it out of paper ; and in tea's they were sanctioned by Parliament during the war. Wien puce - came, there was an end of the usurpation al' the royal prerogative, and the danger of beinz obliged to exchange their proasiesory notes fur gol.l Wend Parliamerif to pus a bill restricting them from payidg in cash until May, isa. When the operation ref this bill, therefore, should come lips full effect, agricultural produce would be reduced still lower. It was impossible, therefore, that the meeting could de cide on• any other remedy than a relief from exces sive taxation. Under this impression, and coneeivio: that a series of resolutions would he oily a eirceites mode of serivinig at the same result, he begged leave 'as puree the retitle* which ha weeld read to them : . " We desire tembly to call your mantles w the ever tekeleires dieresawbeltia• t r eed ieseldiesuoview 4: seeirdee of peewee coseseed with the landed interest I which, if not speedily arrested is its progress, threatens to involve the whole eommnnity is one general ruin. " We do not presume to point out to your wisdom the measures which may best conduce to our relief, hut we vesture to express our opinion that it is not to be de rived from any system of protecting or prohibitory ita lics, satire the evils of which we complain arise - from causes wholly different from those to which such red.:- dies can apply. " Without entering n2on any discussion of the causes which hare produced the low prices of every article.of agricultural produce, it remains only to adjust the means of the agriculturist to the existing state of thirlgs, so as to enable him to bring the produce of 'his industry to market with a reasonable profit to himself, and frith sou sequent advantage to the country. . " We see no prospect of this object being effected, hot by relieving him from the burden of those taxes which bear most directly upon him. and dins, in some degree, assimilating his condition with the cultivators of the land is other countries, where the fiscal demands of irro refitment lie less heavily upon them. "So far from presuming to suggest what particular taxes might come within this scheme, we freely allow that our local habits render us incompetent to take ma comprehensive a view of the general interests of tte country; we therefore humbly submit that sublet to the wisdom of those whom the constitution has relic with the legislation of the whole kingdom. .• Having submitted to your consideration the stale of the actual cultivators of the land, we cannot overtook the condition of the landholders, the clergy, and other tithe-owners who are of necessity sharers in the same distress, and i who, with reduced means, cannot possibly senitain the saute weight of taxation which they have h,- Sheet° done. • To effect these purposes. that is, to afford protec tion to the most numerous, the most useful, and most re spectable portion of the community. which is the only legitimate end of government, it is in one view become necessary to have recourse to an extraordinary reductiiii of our public establishments, military, naval, and civil. and to apple the severest economy to the adniinistrati..l of those which may be suffered to remain ; and further, to use an impartial lied unsparing hand in parine d mei to the present level of relative value all those income.. from that of the highest to the lowest individual in 'he State, which arise out of the public expenditure. Td such measures alone we can look for any real and sub stantial redress, and we rely witlt-the fullest confidence on the wisdom and power of Parliament for the accom plishment of. our expectations. by turning their home iliate attention to ode well grounded claim on their inten• fereuce on our behalf." Lord Rutam • then came forward, but was receirel "with marks of disapprobation by the meeting. As 5t....11 as silence was restored, him Lordship said his ohject in addressing them was to second the petition.—(Cheers ) —As a Member of Parlianseot, who would have to de cide ultimately on the question, he would now fit judge it.—(Hear, bear.) —No samn could be more sin cerely sealous to promote the int of a,:rieulto.e than himself; and he would give the petition n.s warmest support when the subject came before P.O - K.
