The Spa.fielding Meeting took. place ibis morning, and the Ilead•quartere were at the Union public house, commonly called the Bell' in the Pound, on the turnpike road near to Bagnigge Wells. The spectators were not so numerous as on the former occa lion. Mr. BunT.wasftsp!cted to take the Chair, hut be bad not Arrived 'at o ne o'clock ; when Dr. WATSON idaressed the Meeting, and lamented the absence of Mc. lionT, from whom he bad re. calved two letteric; which he read, expressing his approbation, and promisipg to attend the Meeting, if hi should ratorn- from : Ireland in time.-- When we left the Neeting,:nothing more particelar had occurred,,,aoi ,Or.Yitraon was proceeding to open the buslitesr of tbidaf,rsti triad theßeqalsidoo to the Magistrates; . The, company seemed considerably disappckiated st the absence of Mr. HUNT. The assemblage appeared very peaceably disposed, and not likely to call into active operation any of the precautions adopted by the Magistrates for securing the public tranquillity. The cause of Reform is gaining ground daily, in spite of all opposition. In various parts of the country the People seem fully aware of the necessity and importance of a Reform in the Commons House of Parliament, and it is most satisfactory to think, that every corrupt obstacle must ultimately give way to the resolution and well•directed zeal of au intelli gent People. The Britibh . Public are not, we be lieve, very generally apprized of the movements in favour of Reform in Lancashire, where the principle of opposition to the present system of Corrup tion is warmly entertained.--We give to-day the particulars of a well-conducted Meeting, held on Monday sentlight, at Lees, parish of Ashton-un der-Line, where some spirited Resolutions were passed, and a Petition adopted, which, with the other proofs of patriotic zeal afforded on this occa sion, convince us that if all places would manifest half the public spirit which characterises Lancashire, the corruptions which engender so much mischief to the country would soon be ennihilated. This Meet, ing at Lees is only one of a series, lately held and yet to take place, some notice of which it is neces. any we should give here. The first Meeting was held at Manchester, then at Royton, on Enter Monday, when a great company assembled, and they 'came to the resolution of again petitioning the COM. mons. Neat followed Oldham and Stockport on April 13th. More numerous assemblies have not been witnessed at these places than upon these gm• sions, anti every thing was conducted with the ut• most decency and order. Afterwards, on the 20th, Lees and Pilkington gave similar examples, and were attended by thousands. On the 27th, Middle ton was equally olive and well attended. At Sad dleworth, Yorkshire, a Meeting is called for this day, which was expected to be respectably attended; Ashton-under-Line is to follow in Whitson week, and numerous other places are coming forward.— •Thes we see, .that, in spite of the Sedition Acts and Gagging Bills of the State Correptionists, the In habitants of this country are determined to persevere is Abe assertion of their rights and the impression of their just indignation at the cruelty of their op pressors. May their endeavours to arrive at the en. joyment of that rational freedom, which the Coosa ' lotion of which they have been so unjustly deprived, gives them reason to espect and right to demand, be successful. It is to be.desired that the Friends of the People, the Friends of Reform, should endeavour to find every practical mode of obtaining their object: The greatest is a Reform of the Commons house in Parliament ; and they hare most meritoriously at tended to that. But there is another intermediate sty), which should not be overlooked. It is the re- 4 moval of the present Ministers from Office.

Air attempt was made by M. BIGNON to rednee from 16 millions to 12 millions of rentes the vote of credit demanded by the Minister for thef4terpose.— This proposition war, however, overrated, end the articles of the la* regarding the loin, as recommended by the Commission, were agreed to. The Commis mission, under all the circenniances of the case, and considering it as out of dire necessity, recommended to the Chamber the simple adoption of the Projet de Loi presented by order of the KING. In the Chamber of Peers, Vicompte Mosrwo. RENCY her made a report on the subject of Lord KINNAIttn'S appeal to the Chamber against the conduct of the King's Government, in arresting one M A lITIN ET, to whom Lord KINNAIRD asserted that a promise of safe conduct to and from Paris bad been held out, if he should make certain discoveries respecting the Duke of Wcuaticrron's proposed assassination. The Report, as the result date in formation obtained, states, that no promise what. ever was held out to MARTINET, either by the Duke of WELLINGTON, or by the French Ministers; that MARTINET made 00 disclosures of any consequence; but was arrested on a strong suspicion of being himself implicated in the crime which he professed to denounce. It added, that the Police had now in its power (by means very foreign from any thing that fell from M. Attnisrr), the man whom there was every reason to believe was the Assassin. And that, as the whole affair was entirely out of the province or the Etta• butions of the Chamber, it was proposed by the Com. mittee, that it should be sent beck and exclusively confided to the wisdom and jostles of his Majesty's Goverment. The Petition of the Noble Lord was, therefore, on these grounds, referred to the Pre. sident of the Council of Ministers. General SATAuIr (Duke DE BOV104) hes pubish. 1 ed a letter in the Augsburg Gazette, in which he on. equivocally disavows the production entitled his Me. moir. Tnis he asserts to bean audacious fabrication, as no individual whatever could have any knowledge of the authentic work which he is preparing for the Public, and which will contain merely ea much as is necessary for his own justification.

A Flanders Mail, which has also arrived, brings an accoant of the formal betrothing of her Serene Highness ADELAIDII, the Princess of MOININGEN to the Duke of CLARENCE ; her Highness, it is added, was to depart for London about the beginning of July. Events, however, have since occurred which will no doubt retard poor A uti.Aluest journey, and •' give her back her plighted faith," if the most in. salting conduct of which a man can be guilty towards a woman, may be supposed to have that effect.
