The Courier Newspaper pot hold of this f.ct, and published it to their readers, observing that probably Mr. Iltint wmilti lint wt. ad. as he had, on a former tw glen 0000 0 sneaked off to Cork, out of the way, It mope:tied, thrtt this was a false teethe t.u It wa. intended to call this Meetiog on Mope ally last, but he was then engaged in the euun t•v.

A letter was then sent to him, slating what was meant to he done at the Meeting—and lie wil- Imply agreed to take the Chair. lie should now briefly stale the purpose for which they were bled —and in doing en, it wee only necessary that he should elliade to what would be submitted to Ilerni by other-. At the same tune, lee begged to ob serve, th.it he slid not mean to shift any responsibility filtm himself on the ground that lw was out aware what was intended, because in fact he knew every thing about it. During the last Parliament. no less than 1400,000 individuals vainly petitioned a corrupt House of Commons fur a restitution of their rights. No notice was taken of their cone plaints--and, he believed, from the comtitto- I' of the new liosioasable House, it be goodly fruitless to petitimo thein. It was therefore determined to petition the Prince Re gent, in a firm. manly and dignified tour, call ing 'on I to protect the rights of the people— slid to see, that, before they were called uti to tight the battles of Ilse country., and to risk their lives in .support of the Government, they should have some share in snaking the laws try which they were to be bound. Such was the pro position on which they were to decide—anol, lie trusted, if there was any Gentleman in the Nleet nig, who, after hearing the remonstrance, (low p. proved of it, that he would stand forward mate fully awl express his object . They were called together. as a dehiserative hotly, to take into their consideration. Whollier the present be proper time to agree to such a resoluttnis.

Dr. WATSON then proceeded to read the deela. ration, which he said was the result of long and de liberate consideration. It was followed by a string of Resolutions, 26 iu number, which, from their great length, we are not etieblrd to give in detail. They stated in substance—that the source of all legi. tamale power win the people—that all govertimeort not derived from, and accomitable to tiesi, was an usureati )))) —that all men were born free, equal. and independent. They censured the levytiog of nixes without the consent of the people previously ob tained—objected to the present constitution of the House or Continuos—Mended on the right of univer sal suffrage. snit the right of the people to poestas arena fur bell-defence—declared the provi►ions of Magi)* Charts 'tot to have been elicroachinetits on the Royal Prerogative, but the ancient law of the land—end that the Crown was a sacred trust held roily tor the benefit of the people—condemned the keeping up a large standing army—pointed out the propriety of •übstitutiug the ancient civil force for a military mot. and the reliance for our defence from itivirsiori, rather upon a militia drawn from the great body if the people than upon s regular fume. They neat condemned the conduct of Miiiiaters in the employment of spies, and the passing of the Corn Bill, which was stated to be a vile conspiracy between the great landholders and the Miiiiaters to extort an immense portion of taxes from the poor. The Resolutions condemned the reicouragetnent given to the Mink of Etiglvied, in the unlimited issue of their limper, and the disproportionately se vere punishment enacted ag unit forgery ; and con cluded by asseitiog, that the conduct of the late Parlonnent, in passing the Act for the Suspension of the Dolmas Corpu., and afterwards ►creening Ministers by a Bill of Indemnity, was a violation of every princtple of humanity and justice, and suffi cient to baud down th e ir uames to everlasting in famy and disgrace. The language of the Resolutions was throughout extremely strtrog. There was now and theft a slight interruption, and one man in the closed cried out, " False !" Mr. hunt said, that as the myrmidons of Government were ready to pounce upon any in the assembly who appeared warm, it would be ad visable to restrain the natural feelings upon such au occasion. All the Resolutions in the Declaration were then carried, slid Mr. Hunt svid they would, no doubt, appear iu the public Papers, with the comments of the hirelings of Ministers. Mr. !lout then "aid, that a Renionstrance to the Prince Re gent would be proposed, which was couched in lan.. gunge such as a five people should use to their So vereign. Dr. WATSON read the Remonstrance. In time to litany of the sentiments contained in the De claration, it. complained that his Ito3til Diglitotes had placed such implicit confidence in a ►et of weak and currus:t Ministers. who bud been imposed upon him, and prayed that for their numerous offences they should be impeached, and if found guilty, sentence them to condign punishment. The motion on the presentation of the Remon strance las+ armoire! by Mr. Gass, a ship-builder of Diann'. in it speech of some length. lie oh served, that the mechanics were the most wetlyl hotly of men in the community—that if the drones should attempt. as they had long Weis doing, to drive them, the bees, from the hive. it ass lime for them to teach the drones their power. It was their oven jealousies land divisions which lied deprived them of their proper weight in the state. They had the club of Hercules in their hands, and they might thank their own want of concert and kit-respect if they had not wielded it. Disunited they were like bits of broken glass. Let them Otiose away all lit. tle grounds of difference, and join in the common cause. mud it would be out of the power of their enemies to dissever er subdue them. The Remonotrauce was then carried unanimously. Dr. WATSON then proposed w plain for collecting subscript - to further the objects of the Meeting, and to defray the expenses attending it. It recom mended a general sulhocription to be entered into by all the -represented people of Enghind, at the rate of a penny weekly, to lie paid by every twenty live to a collector appointed by tlrem•elrer, and ob liged to hand it monthly, together with his own 1 . 4111.

Mr. Iluist was then appointed Treasurer, and 1)r. Watson Secretary to the Cos nee. The boxes were carried room!, and received se.e rul deposits of Due peony, mot io swine instance*, we believe, mom Dr. WATSON proposed • vote of thanks to the eighty-four independent liouitehulders of We-omin- y 1 , ster who had Supported Mr. Heat at the late elec. tion, which was carried. It was then unanimously agreed to that Mr. Hunt should present the Remonstrance. Mr. HUNT scconlingly declared, that lie would from the spot set out tor the Secretary or State's Office, and that if any of his hearers chose to attend him, he could not prevent them. A large number followed bun to the Home Office. He entered alone, and was immediately in troduced to Lord Sidinouth. to whom he delivered the Remonstrance. Mr. H. theta returuert to the persons who waited for him, and stated that Lord Sidmouth had promised to give them as answer in a few days. The crowd then dispersed. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
