In 1.•• pipit conduct a due regard to f.tuntorn was imps to every one, and he knew no man whose eligi. illy was sn marked and striking to represent the •v of London at this important period.

Wpm tat referred to the two good prin ciples oure observed by Englishmen towards l'.eir representstives—fi , st, of sending them to Pirliament free of expense—and secondly, of p.ying them a aviary to cover their expenses. lu iimaeg:..,.ltimes each representative used regulaily to consult Ins constituents on all questions of great public polity ; hut now, that wholesome practice was almost entirely abandoned. The influx of wealth into this country had altered the practice of Parliament, and now riches found their way into the business of elections, and men of wealth found their way from that mere circumstance alone into Those seats which had previously been held by the vole influence of public worth and public suffrage. fir object in atteuding this Meeting was, to express the favourable opinion he felt for their pursuit, and 'the pleasure he would feel at their eventual success. As a friend to liberty, he was also anxious for the adoption of a motion which he meant to submit, for the 'impose of securing the return of the man of their choice, in the only way its which it ought to he done for a free men—free of expense. That example had been set by the electors of Weigand , titer—it had been followed by the independent men of Bristol, who exerted themselves dyeing the last election in favour of Sir Samuel Romilly. To their honour, he it stated, that during the last contest, a sum of 300!. remained undispnsed of, after the ex penses of the election had been discharged; and it was on the former occasion reaulved that this sum should be held over to be applicable to the election of Sir Samuel at a future period, either for Bristol, or any other place. This sum of 300!. had been now transmitted from Bristol to the Westminster Committee, for managing the election of Sir Samuel, and placed at their disporsl.—(Great op ploose.l—lt only remained for him now to move that a subscription be opened to defray the ex pellees of Mr. Waithmsn in the ensuing contest. •—(Greet opplowse.)—The sums to be given by each contributor, would be immaterial—the man who gave one guinea, would perhaps derive, from his situation in lite, as much etedit as lie who gave twenty guineas. There were others, perhaps, more useful than either—he meant those who devoted their time to the general canvass throughout tire nietroptilis.—(Applesise.) Mr. OLDHAM, in behalf of Mr. Vl'aitlimaubs Committee, said, that they felt the delicacy of this proposition, and knew that there were a vast num ber of men doing effective service to Mr. Wirith man's interest. by carrying on a permits' canvass, who could not well put their hands into their pockets also. The Committee, however, were wil ling to avail themselves of the present proposition, begging it to be distinctly understood that it was. to be the voluntary act of the individuals, who thought they could be of more use with their purses than their persons. This subscription mast be understood as the spontaneous act of the Meet ing, and he earnestly trusted that in opening their purses, they would not forget the personal exer tions to which, More than any thing else, must be owing their final soccess.—(Applunse.l—As the subscriptiooltowever, had been started, he hoped the Meeting would send home the author of it (Mr. Wisher') with a warm and grateful heart, at the success of his proposition.—(Appiaxse./ The Commits° now intimated that as the basis rim of the Meeting had been gone through, lie re querted their attention to Mr. Waltham°, who had a few words to address to them. _ Mr. WAITIIMAN came forward. but was for • considerable time unable to proceed, owing to the loud and reiterated plaudits be received. As soon as the applause had subsided, he said, that though not deficient in nerve on general public occasions, he was now completely overpowered—not by his foes, for lie could always tannage them, but by the powerful kindness and support of his tiumerotte and respectable friends.—(Applause.)—He newer be fore sttesiderl a public Meeting with such sensations as lie did the present—sensations of pride and gratitude at finding such distinguished support ; end, shove all. at seeing the cheering spectacle of on large rod distinguished an assemblage stepping forward to combat corruption.—(Applanse.)— They well knew that in the present state of public affairs it was impossible fur any individual to stem the torrent of corrupt power, unless he were tricked by the support of individuals who were ready and willing to stand by his aide during the contest.— Ile had now to boast of this great support; and, as he never sought any oilier reward but the appro ',slims of his fellow-citizens, he felt gratified at the satisfaction of feeling that he had always done his rimy ; for, had he not, he should not have now to boast of the presence of so large • body of his fellow-citizens. The promise of this support lie had received in every quarter during the extensive cosmos he hail already made, though he WO aware that from Ins imperfect lists, and the fatigue of emitinuell exertion. he had by no means canvassed the greater part of the electors on whose support he had reason to rely. It was most gratifying to him on tins occasion to be surrounded by his oldest political connections, and to have the support of the worthy Chairman, by whose side he had entered into public life. He did not indeed know that he I i‘t a single political friend since he had first entrtrei the public service ► though he did know that many were now ready to support him, who, on fonnir flees. ttttt s. differed on political affairs, hut nho now saw the consequences of these continued encroachments on the liberties of the people, which led to the pre.ent state of the country. The proceeding. in his support, so far as they had gone, were moat exhilarating; as to threw hereafter, he should only earnestly desire hi. friends not to relax from their efforts. as they mu.t be aware that great influence would be used against him.

They speak of the active preparations tnAing at Aix-la-Chapelle fur the reception of the Allied Sovereigns and their Ministers. The month of July is mentioned as the period for holding the Congress. It will be attended, it is said, by the Emperors of Russia and ArsTat.t, and by the Kings of FRANCE, PRUSSIA, and the NETHER.. LANDS, The importance of the subject mmt, indeed, be great, when the presence of so many Monarchs is required to discuss them. The re moval of the Allied Army of Occupation from the French frontiers will, of course, form the principal, but not, as we can collect, the only topic for their consideration. The report relative to the expected presence of the King of FRANCE at Aix-la-Cha pelle, appears wholly destitute of foundation. Accounts from Trieste mention, that new diffe rences have ari.en respecting the fortress of Pargp, which the Paella of Janina wanted to re-occupy, notwithstanding the presence of the English trops. We have received German Papers of recent dates. In an article from Frankfort, it is mentioned that a Committee of three Members had been appointed by the Diet to mediate between the Houses of Saxe Cohurg Meiiiingen, and Saxe Coburg Saalfeld, respecting ■ ditle.elice between them r e . dative to the succession to Saxe Coburg Eisenberg. Time was when such a difference would have giveu occasion to military operations between th e se lit t l e States, but the privilege of leading their fellow. creatures to mutual destruction belongs, in modern times exclusively, to the few great Powers that have undertaken to control the destinies of the world. If the cessation of wars were the sole conse quence of their policy, we should not quarrel with the Holy Alliance; hut even this blessing would be dea►ly purchased by the sacrifice of individual rights, and the absolute dominion of a Committee St. ±n, nttevolrd h 7 hi' 1141)1r werr:ore, ntikl $ll4 • making t iremnitiolot to 'mock the town of Si.

A Meeting of the friends of Mr. WArrituati took place yesterday at the London Tavern. A report of the proceedings is given iis another part of our Paper. The claims of Alderman Thonr to the like honour of representing the City of London are also of the first order. Economy and retrenchment in the public expenditure constitute the creed of this Gentleman. Indeed, it is the oily eieed by which the country can he saved. The City of London then, if true to itself, must rally round the advocates of retrenchment and reform.—lt will do well to study the conduct and character of its late Representatives. If among them it finds one, who has voted for the Pinpirty Tax, or any other obisoxinies and unnecessary tax, in a iiisse of peace, man must be unworthy of the Ci , y of London.

CHRISTIANIA, MAY 15. In one of the ittings of the Diet. Professor O'l.awson recommended the introduction of a na tional costume, and the imposition of a duty on the use of all foreign stuffs, wines, and furniture, on the employment of metals, upon cloths, &c. The Consul Isaacksen proposed the abolition of all our great holidays, such as those of the 19th, 9.01 h, and 23d of March, the 17th and 30th of April, and 11th of May, or to change the time of keeping them to the period between Christmas and the new year. The same Member proposed the establishment of a seminary for the education of teachers, and to suppress in the national schools the unsuitable books which are used there to teach religion, such as Lu ther's Catechism, and others, which have no relation to any fixed dogma or article of religions faith. He was also of opinion, that the students in theology would do better to abstain in future from the study of the Hebrew tongue, as useless, and rather to apply to the physical and mathematical sciences, and to medicine. Lieutenant noel proposed to establish a free port at Christiansand ; and the merchant Reich, to take from all foreign ships the custom house duty in silver, as a tax on the productions of the country to be exported.

Yesterday a Meeting of the friends of Majo► C:artwright was held ■t the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of considering on, and adopting the best means to secure the return of the Major as a successor to Lord Cochrane to represent the city of Westminster in Parliament. About one o'clock, Mr. Clarke, Mr. P. Walker, Mr. Wooler, Mr. Pitt, Mr. Bowie, &c. entered the MOM. Mr. CLAaxE having been unanimously called to the Chair, first "explained the object of the Meet ing, and then proceeded to say, it was no ordinary man they should choose to take the place Lord Cochrane had resigned—and no ordinary claims did the venerable Major possess. In him they had the firm, the long-tried, the unalterable friend of the rights of the people—the first supporter of the principle of universal suffrage and annual elec tions. He was surprised there should exist any Aiiference of opinion) us to his superior fitness ever my other of the Gentlemen mentioned as candi &tee. Of Sir Murray Maxwell they knew nothing but that he was a gallant seaman. Of Mr. D. Kinnaird he knew nothing except by report. He understood him to be possessed of some talent and great integrity—but compared with Major Cart wright his pretensions vanished ; they were not to he named on the same day. The one was known since the other day, the other for half a century. —(Cries of Hear, hear.)—The only objection he had heard urged against the Major was, that he was en old man—in other words, that lie had served the people • long series of yeara.—(Ap plattse.l—And was he therefore to he postponed to a man only promising to serve them ? It betrayed cruelty to insist on lend) of days as an argutuent against their aged advocate. 'No suggestion was more miserable and base. He should conclude by thanking the Meeting for the attention with which they had heard him, and expressing a sincere hope that they should be successful in returning the faithful, upright, independent servant of the people —honest old John Cartwright.—(l/ear, hear ) Mr. P. ‘VALIREII said he should avoid touching on the topics so well handled by the worthy Chair man. Persons assumed Mr. D. Kinnaird was the personal friend of Sir F. Burdett, forgetting that Major Cartwright was also. In sending the Major into Parliament, they would send Reform personi fisd. He could state as a fact, that the Major went yesterday to the House of Commons with four hun dred petitions; that he applied to several Members, but could not prevail on any of them to present them—having previously written to many in vain. Mr. NVALIKER then read and proposed a series of Resolutions. Mr. WooLert seconded the Resolutions. He ob served, that the cause of Reform, now so fashion able, owed its rise and growth to Major Cartwright, who, to !promote it, had made • sacrifice of ease, and security, and self-interest. Ile knew that Mr. I). Kinuai►d had, for the space of the last two month•, been engaged in a purchase for a Borough, and such progress had he made, that should lie be returned for Westminster, it would be necessary for him to dispose of the Borough.—(Hear, hear.) —Sir Samuel Romilly was also sure of a seat in another place. Mr. Bowie said, that Mr. Ilobbonse, Sir G. Cockburn, and Lord Elmngton, had been men tioned as candidates, besides the gentlemen they had already heard of. Ile believed that Mr. D. kinnaild had been nominated under the erroneous idea that Sir F. Burdett would support him, whereas he had promised to support Major Cartwright. Mr. Pret theta said a few words, after which the Resolutions were put and carried. Thanks were voted to the Chairman. for his pro per conduct in the Chair, and the Meeting dis persed.

FRENCH FRONTIERI, MAY '2l. Several of the Generals who have hero called from their posts and dismissed, and who or 14te years have been much talked of, are now at Paris, and take much pains to he employed. Among them are lient.-General Cannel, who I:as hither to in vain demanded that a Court-martial shall he summoned to decide on his contlact ; and Lieut.- General Donadiece, who has frequently solicited an audience of the King, but without being able to obtain one, and is highly incensed. These gen tlemen cannot conceive that it is possible, with out having committed any crime, to have forfeited by their conduct the confidence of the Government. They have acted exclusively in the spirit of one party, whereas the Government is no party, and must command all, and may therefore require that all its civil and military agents, particularly those who fill the higher posts, should act in the same spirit. Several important changes in the Freud) marine corps are spoken of. Under the administration of Dubouchage, the same reforms and measures were adopted in it as in the troops of the line under the Duke of Feltre. A number of officers who had served with distinction in the marine during the Revolution, and have been removed from their offices in these latter years, some without ally steps on their part, received their retraite, but with their rade de retraile. Others were entirely dis missed, without any reason given fur removing them. They are called les Elemiaes. All these people complain, and have partly applied to the new Minister of the Marine, M. Mole, to be em ployed again, and partly laid their grievances be fore the public. It is said that the Minister has appointed a Committee to examine their claims, and justice will be done them.—(Ernst Gazelle, May 90.) : 1 II
