LONDON. WEDNESDAY. Avanse le. 1819• Our expected communication from Manchester had not arrived last night when this Paper was put to press. We learn, however, that accounts have been received, stating, that the Radical Re form Meeting was held on Monday at that place, pursuant to notice, but we trust it will not prove correct as stated, that it was noti attended with all the propriety and safety that have characterised the previous Meetings on the same subject. Mr. HUNT d►d not disappoint the public expec tation; he arrived in due time and form to take his station as President and principal orator ; but it is said his speech was interrupted by the Magistrates, by whose orders himself, and his im mediate friends and supporters on the hustings, were taken into custody. The number of persons thus arrested is stated at fifteen. Notwithstanding all the pains taken to guard the Meeting against being betrayed by any possible provocation into a breach of the peace, report adds, that a very serious 'otwit ensued, in which one yeoman and four or five of the populace were killed.— The tumult had not subsided when the last ac counts came away, but from the preparations made to restrain all disorder, no further mischief was ap prehended. All the military force in the vicinity had been called in to aid the civil power. The people had been crowding into Manchester in all directions from an early hour on Monday morning, and the amount of the Meeting is esti. mated at between 30 and 40,000 men.—We do not !sledge ourselves to the accuracy of this statem e nt ; we have received it through channels the credit of which we have no reason to suspect, neither have we the necessary means of ascertaining it. We give it as the general rumour of last night. At the Warwick Assizes a man ,if the name of Rtniest.t. has been prosecuted fur publishing, about 18 iseimsdis since, a Parody upon the Litany; but although this was one of those three Parodies for which WILLIAM HONE was tried roil acquitted in London, a Warwick Jury has thought proper to find RUSSELL Guilty. We are not apprised of any circumstances iu the ease of RUSSELL which could distinguish it essentially from that of HONE, and it is very evident that the same act cannot be cri initial in Warwickshire, and in Loudou a matter of mere indifference. Three'distioct Janie., composed of men 'as respedible as any in the city of Lon : on.--who were as capable as soy others of esti . mating the probable effects of tech publicitious— and as unwilling to endanger the security of the Church and State, declared on their oath,. that, in their unanimous opinion, such publications were not calculated to affect the stability of the Church, or to weaken the empire of religion and morality in this country. They believed that the publications were not more mischievous than other productiolis of a similar kind issuing from the witty pen u MI. CANNING, and other distinguished Parodists, who did not hesitate to make the solemnity of Scriptural language administer to their political aniumeaties. They judged of them its the light of political punts, calculated possibly to turn certain of the Ministers into ridicule, bat not fraught with any danger to the Constitution. whether acacias field or aril; and being too intelligent to confound the personal feelings or interests at troy set el Mi. aisles, whose public actions were open to animad version and satire" with the viability of the shroa's sod the tifety hubdtitiont, tswy sil•itted •1 es the defeuJant. By these u 6 rservations, hoetver, we would not be understood to imply any censure upon the conduct of the Warwickehirt Jury. We stub not follow the example of the Tresenry scribes, who, by censuring the motives of every Jury whose decision may chance to differ from their opinion of pro riety.endenvoor by every means to meekest t he public esteem for this invaluable mode of trial. The chew of seeming sincerity upon the part of the prosecu tion deceived in the preNent instance the unsuspect ing Jurors. The imposing solemnity of the pro ceeding. the ingenuity of dnunael, anal the autho rity of the Learned Judge on the bench, who told them that the publication was a libel, and thus decided Me pied which it was their duty to t►,y— Iconspired to bewilder and mislead theta, and they no doubt believed that they were exteedieg their arms to shield the doctrines of the chum!) from obloquy and ridicule, at the very moment when, in their unsuspecting confidence, Clay were beeotn ing the instruments of political vengeance. But widely different is the conduct of those who have thus endeavoured to stamp with inconsistency the Trial by Jury, as established in this country. Can it be expected that the ordivary course ofjudi chit proceedings will continue to secure the esteem and riveretece of the people, if an idea he once excited that they cannot look to it wills security end confidence? To their minds no distinction will be drawn between the determination of II Jury and the dictate of law, and when they behold Juries pro glomming on the same case opinions diametrically op posed to each other—see one lasts three times tri timpliantly acquitted—distioguiehed by personal insults of respect and favour by some of the most eminent individuals in the country, end rising from poverty to opulence, mid when they turn their eyes to another part of the country, and there perceive a second individual denounced as a criminal for the same act, hurried ignominiously to the receptacle of felons—himself exposed to all the horrors of pro longed captivity, slid his family cotidemned to wretchedness and want—will they not conclude that the law is partial and oppressive, that the same measure of justice is not meted out to all, and that there isno security in the Trial by Jury, which their ancestors had foolishly regarded as the best safe guard of the subject's liberty, and had bequeathed to their sons as the must valuable inheritance ? If this ferlthg should become general, but little objection %could probably be exp-rieuced from the greet body of the people in any attempt to remove .he institution of Trial by Jury altogether. We yesterday published an Address, signed " DENNIS SHAW," respecting s Public ;timing, which, according to rumour, was lixed fur Monday next, at Kennington Common.

The Magistrates of Surrey cannot find fault with this Requisition. The purpose set forth in it is perfectly legal.

Rumours of insurrectionary movements in the southern provinces of Spain prevailed in town yes terday. but we are not aware that they rested on any good foundation. The prevent condition of that unhappy country, enjoyingoeither respect with out, nor security within, where the Government is as weak as it is odioes, would seem to justify a ready belief in any such reports. We fear, hem. ever, that for the present they are somewhat prema• lure.

We have received l'aris Papers of Saturday last. It is understood that the Court of France will send the Count de JAucuußT to represent its interests iu the Congress of Carlsbad. A private letter from Dresden asserts, that this Congress, or meeting of Ministers, will be occupied solely with the affairs of the inediatised Princes of Germany. This is a subject of the utmost importance to several of tl►e German States; fur until the precise rank of these Princes be ascertained, and their claims and inter• ests adjusted, it will be difficult. with a due regard to justice, to form Constitutions that must reduce them to a level with the ordinary Nobility of the several States within which these triediatised Princes chance to be included.
