They are tilled chiefly with political commentaries on the late judgments of the Royal Court with respect to the Colutitetionnel and the Coarrier Francais. Each Journal treats the question according to the views and interests of its party. The atone proclaims the acquittal of these Papers the triumph of impious and revolutionary doctrines. The Journals be longing to the Opposition severally regard it, in proportion as they incline to Liberal or Royalist opinions, as an event inithe highest degree important end auspicious to the pub lic liberties, and pregnant with danger to the Ministry. The news from Greece is only of interest as it seems to tbrow a doubt on the reported arrival of the Tureo-Ezyp tian expedition at Navarino. The advices from Spain represent every day more clearly the multiplying embarrassments of the Spattish Governors in the possessions yet retained by the mother country in the New World. Unless the Cabinet of Madrid be very prompt in their measures, it is quite certain that they will not long have a cclony to trouble them, on the other side of the Atlantic. [From the Constitutiunnel of Wednesday, Dec. 7.1 FRANKFORT, DEC. Z. The new organization of the new Council of State has just been ptumulgated. It gives much satisfaction to the Prussian patriots, who observe by the compositions of the several sections that the partisans of the Constitutional system daily acquire more infiutexe over the mind of the Mot arch. Meld Marshal Count Gneisenau, one cf the most zealous partisans of ties system, is appointed Prod dont of the Section of Foreign Affairs, and of that of Military Affairs. M. de Brockhansen. Minister of State, is President of the Section of Commerce and of Religious Worship; Mr. Von Ramps of the Section of Justice, and Lieut« General Muffling of the In terior. The President of the Section of Finance is not yet named, but it is gentility believed that his Majesty's choice will fall on YI Von Stagemeri. who tills the office ad interim, and who is equally distinguished by his financial abilities and by his character for probity. Maims), Noe. U. The Goverment hss received despatches of a very recent date from the Harannah, the cornets% of which having been kept very WTI!, are supposed to be unfavourable, and in all companies it is whispered with an air of mystery that the troupe from Ferrol, whico wino to be re.emberket at the ti c v inn Rh, to be landed on the eras: of Yucatan, have shown themselves so decidedly averse to expedidon, that General Alves has been afraid to persist, ord has informed the Minima of War of this circumstance, and of the evident spirt of insurrection among the troops of the expedition.

We •had intended to developc in our Paper of to-day the combined causes to which the temporary—for they ate but temperary--emberrassments of the moue:: market ate to be' traced; but the interference of other topics obliges us to postpone it till our next. We shall demonstrate most clearly, that the distress rhich has pressed so severely ou commercial capital originated in causes which have no con nexion whatever either with Bank of England discounts— ' the issue of small notes by the country banks—all excess of paper circulation—the extent of rublic credit—or any other of these causes to which the Times has ascribed it, and ascribed it for the purpose of spreading throughout the kingdom that impression as to the insecurity of bankers, and the honed of Bank paper, which has produced so much evil, and eicited so much indignation. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The trifling business that was done in Consols-indicated rather more firmness in them than appeared yesterday, and the more particularly so when the scarcity of mcney is taken into consideration, which was certainly moat severely felt to-day. From nit they reached buyers, and the concluding price was f. There were no further country failures announced this morning, and the day passing off tolerably free from reports may have probably caused the slight advance in the English Funds. Exchequer Bile were 1 ta. 225. discount. The transactions in the Foreign Market were also very limited, but the quotations of &nth American Securities rather improved. Colombian Bonds were 621 f, Mexican Six per Cents. GO, and Guatemala Scrip 13 12 discount, Brazilian ditto was 14 discount, Spanish Bonds 14f 15, and Greek ditto 18 17 18. The grocers were compelled to buy sugar to-day, many of their stocks being exhausted, which gave a little brittle ness to the market. The coffee sale to-day went off steadily. Vroo Bay.—The accounts from Vigo are so late as the 29th of November. Captain Brown, in his letter to the Directors of the Company, states that be has dined off some of the plate that the divers, on the first descent of the bell brought up. The date of the plate, we understand, was 1881. _ _ . - It is stared that the cashier of a celebrated foreign house in Paris has disappeared, leaving behind him a deficit of ~2,400,000 franca! It appears by the Frankfort papers received yesterday that a report having been generally spread in the Princi palities of Wallachia and Moldavia, that Russian troops would shortly enter them,the Hospodars, who had written to the Russian Commander-in-Chief, and received from him the most satisfactory answer, have officially declared this to he without foundation. By the Cherub, arrived in the Clyde, Montreal papers to the 26th Oct. have been received. They contain an ad dress of the inhabitants of Montreal to the Earl of Dal housie, with his Excellency's answer. The address is a manly, temperate, and hearty expression of sentiments alike honourable to those who utter them, and to the No ble Earl to whom thi y are offered. The answer, while it recommends union among the colonists, does justice to the benevolent views towards them which actuate the British Government and Legislature. The Canada papers to the 4th ult. Which we have re ceived, state that the fire in the woods had entirely sub sided. Vety extensive subscriptions were entered into for the relief of the r oor sufferers at Miramichi. The New York papers mention the arrival in that city of the Italian singers engaged in England to perform operas there, and the novelty of the undertaking had ex cited much curiosity. The 17th ult. was fixed on for their first appearance, and the regular prices of admission to the theatre were to be doubled on the occasion. Extract of a letter from Cuba, dated Havannale Octo ber 31 : Yesterday returned the Admiral's ship, dismaste'd, which sailed from hence in September, for San Juan de lilloa. The castle has ere this probably fallen, as it was distressed for supplies, and the naval force at Sacrificios stronger than the Spanish fleet, which went down, after losing the Admiral and his ship. He has brought back the specie to pay off the troops, and the grenadiers in tended to relieve the castle. The uutports of this island are annoyed by Colombian privateers ; and this keeps down the price of sugar and coffee. A letter from Rome, dated Nor. 15. state that, for the purpose of enlareing the quarter of the Jews in Rome,about sixty families of Christiao shopkeepers have been obliged to abandon their small dwellings adjoining the Jews' quarter. This emigration was effected in the following manner :—ln the night of the 26th of October, numerous wagon-loads of bricks, mortar, &c. were brought to three entrances to the Jews' quarter, viz. the Piazza della Tarte rughe, the Piazza Guides, and the Pescheria, and the next morning, at a very early hour, a great number of brick layers and la"ourers came to make new gates to the Jews' quarter. These new gates enclosed a gcod many houses of the Christian tradesmen, who indeed grumbled when they found themselves so unexpectedly walled up in theJews ' quarter ; numerous detachments of gendarmes however preserved order, and the shopkeepers are to be indemified tor their houses by the Jews. Extract of a letter from St. Petersburgh. dated 7th (19) Nov. :—" You may remember to have seen in the Courier of September last an account of a burglary committed in the house of the British Consuldieneral in this city. I have now the pleasure to tell you that two of the robbers were discovered a few days ago by the vigilance of our active Chief of Police. The cash stolen was spent, but the watches and the greatest part of the other valuables were found in possession of the thieves, and returned to Sir Daniel Bayley. I saw our excellent friend the Consul last night, who cannot say too much in praise of General Shulgine, the Head of the Police, and of Colonel Dershaw, the Chief of the District, to whose activity, vigilance, in telligence, and zealous discharge of their arduous duties, the discovery of the daring housebreakers is due. Is was suspected that the Consul's , servants were concerned in the robbery, but the contrary has been proved." Gx EILAL For --A family council has been formed for managing the affairs of the widow and children of the late General Foy. It consists of the two Messrs. Foy, nephews of the deceased ; M. Fremont, his nephew by marriage; General de Dauremont, brother-in-law of the deceased; M. de St. Aignan, formerly a Deputy; and M. Brady, formerly a Commissary of War. M. Casimir Perrier is appointed guardian. Most of the insignia placed upon the coffin of General Foy at the funeral, such as the cockade, the epaulettes, the wreath of laurel, and even the pall, have been divided into thousands of pieces, and distri buted to the persons who attended the solemn ceremony.— Paris Paper. A requisition, numerously signed by Members of the Common Council, is about to be presented to the Lord Mayor, requesting Lim to convene an early meeting of that b ody, before St. Thomas's-day, to take into considera tion the Report of the General Purpose Committee on the petition of the Ward of Cripplegate Without relating to the state of their representation in that Court. The grievance of which the petitioners complain is, that while the adjoining ward of Cripplegate Within sends eight members to the Council Chamber, their Ward, with be tween three acid four times the number of voters, has the privilege to elect but half the number of representatives. The subject of a remedy has been under discussion ever since the year 1811. At first it was proposed that the two Wards of Cripplegate should be united. The idea of apportioning the twelve representatives between the t towards according to their relative populations, &c. was at once rejected, tt being contended, that though the Court of Com mon Council might confer the power to return additional members, yet it could not deprive citizens of their elective franchise. The power once granted could never be nullified, and that therefore the number of representa tives for the Ward of Cripplegste Within could not, under any circumstances, be diminished. The proposition which has now, we believe, been before the Court since the year 1221, is to allow Cripplegate Without the same number of representatives as Cripplegate Within, the Court having frequently in tune past exercised the right of in creasing the number of members sent from particular wards. FRENCII PAPERS. • 1 LFrom the Eioik dated Thursday . PAR Is, Dan. 7. The Neapolitan ship of war Vesuvius has entered the port of Genoa; the Commander of the vessel has caused to be inverted in the Gazalte of that city a notification to the merchants, that the best understanding prevails between the kingdom of Naples and the Barbary Regencies comprised in the empire of Morocco. A letter from Porto Rico, dated October 12, sum " that the report of a projected invasion of that island by the Colombians had been repeated there for some time ; their fleet, they say, is assembled at Carthagcna, and it was to take on board about 5,000 men at the end of the month: they had made no preparations at Porto Rip, and they appeared to rely on the expedition announced from Ferrol, which was to leave 2,500 men on the island." The brig of war Ruse by the ettly one of four vessels stationed 'at Martinique, that the epidemic (which has desolated Fort Royal) has spared ; she ntrived at Porto Rico on the 2d of October. It was expected that this vessel would have been put under quaran tine, but the Board of Health admitted her without difficulty to a free weafigate; this determination is the result.of the opinion pre vailing at Porto Rico, that the yellow fever is not contagious. After eight days' stay, the Ruse sailed to anise on the coast of St. Amningo and Porto Rico. The black vomit has been very de arructire ; the valage of Tots is almost depopulated. The last member of the family of J. J. Rousseau, M.. 1. F. Rousseau, has died at Geneva, ate very advanced age.. ZANTE, Nov. 3. On the lit we saw pass through the canal the Greek VCVION which 'bad blockaded the Gulf of Pettis, sailing to the southward, and retiring, no doubt, to their homes. It is thought here. with much reason, that the commandant elf this divisinn would not have abet. cloned so important a station had he rot been informed of the tr avel of the naval forces which the Pacha expected —or, at least, that it was not far from the coast of the Morea. It is very likely that Ibrahim Pacha will be anxious to send into the Gulf one of the two com hined fleets to succour Parra, the Castle, and Lepanto. which are threatened by famine. The inhabitants of Gastouni, dreading that he will detach a division of three thousand or four diet:and men from the army of Alodon, to ravage their depart. ment, the only country which the Egyptians have not visited, hsee abandoned their property, retiring Into the neighbouring mountains of Fessinl. The principal Greeks have adopted the same course, securing themselves upon the high mountain of birri, near Calarit• t the inlAbitants of the country run into the interior of the forests, cohere fly to the sea coast, though they know that they will not be received at Zante, where an asylum it refused to every Greek coming from the Mores. By accounts from Napoli di Romania, It would appear that the order for arming the Greeks as moose, was adopted In consequence of an animated speech made by a French Officer In an assembly of all the Pole.. march, and commander assembled by the Senate. European vessels of war in the Archipelago continue to attack the pirates wherever they meet them, and confiscate their vessels. THE GREEKS. Letters from Corrit of the 9:h of November give the news that Ibrahim Pacha had arrived at Navarino, having left a small garrison at Tripolizzs; that the Turks began to remove their baggage from before Missolcnghi, which seemed to indicate that they were about raising the siege; and that all they hail heard of the Turco-Egyptian feet was, that a part bad arrived at Rhodes. _ _ A letter which has been received from Count Porro, who has now resided a twelvemonth at Napoli di Romania, gives the following intelligence, which we lay before our readers. It is interesting at the present moment, and, being thus authenticated, will serve to show that the affairs of Greece are not so desperate as have been represented " NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, SHPT. 271 " The English Papers, which we regularly receive here. give a moat deplorable =omit of affairs in Greece. I feel, therefore, the greatest satisfaction In informing you, that the intelligence those papers contain Is, for the greater part, false, and cannot have any other motive than to depress the Funds, and thus depreciate the property of many, for the gain of a few ; for example, they mate that this place cannot hold out long. I. who have co interest in i deceiving you, usure you that it s provisioned and well provided with necessaries for two years, and that it has nothing to fear, even were Ibrahim Pasha to direct ten times the number of troops that he commands against it. Ibrahim, it is true, marches about in the Alorea ; but will he be able to resist, during the winter, the desul. tory warfare of the Greeks, with troops who are accustomed to a sultry climate, and who, although organized, are unused to bear the severity of that season in the plains of the Morels ? Allesolunghi bars of ordeal, and continues to afford, a brilliant example io the rest of Greece. The rainy season has set in, and the siege meat be raised in spite of thefirmanr of the Sultan. " Far from wishing to quit Greece, I am highly contested with my residence hem. Napoli has a good garrison, and a tolerable company of artillery recently arrived." UNIVE 1011 Y INT E LLIGENCE.

Inset LINEN TEADE.—It would appear, that the Linen Board of Coleraine, notwithstanding the unanimous re commendation of the bleachers and manufacturers of that district. in favour of a person who had been regularly bred to the business, and whom the trade considered amply con versant with the duties of saltmaster, have appointed an apothecary, or, perhaps, more correctly speaking, a surgeon, to be the sole measurer and salernaster of the linen cloth brought for sale to one of the most important markets in Ireland. We are in possession of some information con nected with the best interest of the linen trade. As soen as the press of more urgent matter shall enable us to do so, we shall devote a porliou of our co!umns to this important subject. The Irish linen trade occupied no inconsiderable share of the attention of the legislature during the last ses sion, and it is, if we are not mistaken, likely to be further considered its the Srssivn shortly about to commence.— Freernater Aurnal. ILIBER.II.4N HEMP AND FLAX COMPANY. Yesterday a meeting of the Shareholders of this Compsny took place at the Crown and Vulture Tavern, Cornball, upon the affairs of the Company. Alderman 11 con was called to the Chair. The worthy Aldermen said lie had consented to be one of the Directors of the Company, not because of any cunnesion with the Stock Exchange, but for the sake of Ireland. He then briefly stated what had occurred at all the meetings held upon the subject. Some of the beat qualified judges as to the condition of the country had been consulted, and a voluminous report had been made, atm ing the increase of spinning and wear* that had taken place; that some of the companies of the City of London were giving encouragement there; and that the Fishmongers' Company In par ticulsr. had sent over the sum of 10.0001. to be employed over 20.000 acres of land, in building and furnishing employment for the poor ; and that applications had been made to grow flax in Limerick, Clare, and Kerry. From time to time he had received the warmest assurances of regard for Ireland from the Noblemen who were Patrons and Directors of the Company. [Here the worthy Alderman read over the names of those alluded to. They were as follow :—The Marquis of Sligo, the Earl of Shannon, the Earl of Olengal, the Earl of Kingston, the Earl of Belfast, the Marquis of Clanriesrd, Lord C gh, Lord Lorton, and the Earl of Itiversdisle. He said that as far as regarded himselt he had no wish that the Company should go on. His time was, as was well known, sufficiently occupied, but he was anxious, fur the sake of harassed and oppressed Ireland, that it should not end before the es perinient was made. All the shares that had been paid upon, it sea to be regretted, amounted to no more than 797, of which all that were paid upon in Ireland did not exceed 42.. The whole amount of the expenses, incurred by advertisements, &c. amounted to 3501.. so that the expense upon each share, as things stood, was Bs. f'd. The Solicitors, Messrs. Tomlinson,- Cooper, and Co. made no charge whatever, although they had considerable trouble. (Hint, hear.) If the Shareholders would wait until the meeting of Par:iament, it it would be ascertained whether the noble patrons of the Company would not come forward and co-operate for the benefit of their country. In the mean time the money in hand might be put out at interest. This would be taking advantage of every possible chance without running the slightest hazard. If the noble persons to whom he had alluded should refuse to come forward to redeem the pledges they had so warmly given, then let the imputation of having abandoned an effort intended and calculated fur the good of their own eeuntry, rest upon them. 11r. CLAIIII (a Shareholder) asked some questions, to which Alderman WOOD replied that the number of shares which it was understood each Director was to take was 50, that the Directors were on no account to sell any of their shard, whatever might be the prospect or event ; and that each of them, in case of the break. ing up of the concern, should be accountable far the loss upon the shares. Mr. CLARICE said that it appeared that the expenses of the Com pany would amount to between Ss. and 9s. upon each share. The Directors, in his opinion, were bound to pay all the expenses. (Hear, hear.) Alderman WOOD—It has been stated that many of the Directors had withdrawn their names; hut it is material to know whether they hive withdrawn since the depreciation. It was stated that they had. The list of Directors was then read, and it appeared on itiquiry that they had all, with only one exception, withdrawn from the Direction as sown as the shares had sunk to a discount. Some of the Shareholders expressed themselves with considerable warmth as to the conduct of the Directors, which they stigma tised as dishonourable. It was finally determined, by 19 to 14, that s Committee of five Shareholders should be appointed, to communicate with the above. named Noblemen and Gentlemen on the Subject of the expenses incurred previously to the winding up.of the concern. CITY TITHES. On Thursday a Vestry Meeting of the Inhabitants of St. Olave, Hart -street, was held, pursuant to notice; the attendance was numerous and respectable; theßev. Dr. Owerc,the Rector,todk the Chair, and read the Requisition, which was. '• to consider and de. terming the !weenies to be adopted to obtain retires. from the op pressive exec:Mr.s recently enforced by the Rector, by fragmenting his tithes; and' the furthtr prosecution of a Rill in Parliament for the relief of the parishioners; also to receive a communleatiois from the Tithe Committee of the parish on other matters con nected with the interests thereof." The CHAIR MAN stated, that he had permitted the Notice to be read in the Church, though he had therefore incurred censure, as it certainly stated a falsehood when it Imputed " oppressive ex. actions" to him. Ile objected also to the presence of several in dividuals rot entitled to form part of the Vestry. Among these was the Collector to the Tithe Committee. and some reporters for the public press. In order to render the Meeting legal, it was, in his opinion, necessary that these gentlemen should withdraw. A very warm discussion took place upon the former print, the majority of the Meeting contending, that the individuals collected had a right to, and should be present, when Dr. 6scrw Y said, that if the parishioners wished the Gentlemen he had mentioned should be present, he had no objection, but he did not think it legal. In the irritation Revelling there appeared no disposition to re ceive any concession, and a Resolution was ultimately carried, declaring that the Gentlemen objected to as not being parkbloners, should remain present. Dr. OWEN—If I had had any notion that any but parishioners would be allowed to be presenti could have brought my friends too, and I could hare brought half the Clergymen in London here ; how ever, I bow to the opinion of the sleeting. The report of the proceedings of the Tithe Committee was then read, and the letters that had been addressed to the Bishop of Lon don and Mr. Secretary Peel... _ Mr. DAIIKLAMII, 'a parishioner, then stood forward todostlfy the phrase " oppressive exactions," ill the requisition. was glad, he said, to meet the Rector fax to fate. He owned he was not a little rimed the other day at receiving a lawyer's litter front Dr. Owen's atm, who was a lawyer, informing him that if he did not pay V. and upwards, being 2a. 9d. in the pound upon one quar ter's tithes, he should be exchcquered. lie went to his clerks and his servants, to Inquire if any application for the tithe had been made in his absence. They knew of stone. To be doubly sure, he applied to the Tithe Collector. The Collector acknowledged that he had not applied. Tacked to the letter was a demand of b.. for writing it. lie thought it necessary. however, to let the Bishop see how his flock was fleeced, so he enclosed to him the letter from Dr. Cwcn's son. To this he received the following renly from his Lordship : " Fulham, October 22, 1825. " Sir.—l never see without concern dissensions between pa rishioners and their Clergymen, from whatever cause they may arise, and with a view to the peace of St. °lave's in particular, I signified in the last Session of Paillittnent my willingness to accede to an arrangement which, leaving Dr. Owen in possession for life of his income, as it then stood, would have fixed the payment for tithes idle? his decease at eighteen-pence in the pound. In this measure only could I have been ten iceable to the parish in this matter. In the recovery of their dues I can neither assist nor control the Clergy, and common discretion forbids me to interfere where I have no power. " I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, (Signed) " W. LONDON." Dr. Owrx explained. He had directed his son to write, because ben nderstood t "at Mr. Barklamb had refused to pay him tithes until he (the Rector) paid poor rates. Another Parishioner—But you told me, Doetcr, that you would proceed spinet me, though I never said any thing about poor's rates. You made me pay is. Id. in the pound. Dr. Owt n.—Well. if I did that, I'll refund. The Pariehoner —You not only made me pay Tithes for the whole of the premises, but you made my undo...tenants pay also, and besides that, I paid 2,1. to your son, for a threatening letter he sent to me. (Loud tumult.) Another Parishioner—And so ru did with me. You not only had tithes e.g of rue, but you made a mt n who rents a cellar under me , pay tithes also, and when T compl: load to you, you told me, that unless I could show that both of re together paid more than 2s. 9d. in the pound, we ought to be • t stied. Dr. Dirt u—And so you (tight. (Camour.) Mr. NOLEE, in reply to • remark from the Chair, denied that the Rector's claim was a vested right. Dr. Ownst—l have read your long letter on the subject ; and I am glad to hare the opportunity of declaring, before )our face, that I havenever seen a more elaborate tieze of absurd:ty and falsehood. (hies.-, and cries of " Order "1) A long and angry discussion ensued. Finally, when the item. lotion for adjournment was about to he put, Dr. OWEN said, he thought it necessary to give some explana ticn. The expressions he had made use of towards Mr. Rolfe were hank, but he thought they would admit he had received great pro vocation when he told them that 3lr. Rolfe called hint a legalised robber. He denied that he was guilty of exaction or extortion, and he defied any one of the parishioners to try the question. He would give any man one hundred pounds to do so. Serena parishioners offered to try t h e question fairly in the Court of King's Bench. Dr. OwEar —No ; I'll try .it in the proper places, the Court of Exchequer or Chancery. The Solicitor of the Tithe Committee asked the Rector if he would consent to a friendly issue, to try the question of non.en. velment ? Dr. OwEN-10, I shall not, as I have three grounds for my claim, be such a fool as to give up two of them ; I shall go into Court upon all three—the Ant of the 27th, the Act of the 37th, and the custom. The SOLICITOI—Why, if you rely upon any one of those, whet becomes of the *there? Some long and angry discussion then followed, when the Doe. tar, upon being questioned as to whether he would agree to the conditions on which they first went to Parliament, namely, that he should hare a fixed stipend of 1820!. per annum, exclusive of his surplice fees. repeated twice, for the satisfaction of his parishioners, " I will accede to the 18201., if you can settle with the Bishop the sum to he paid to my successor. I will have nothing to do with the settlement of the allowance to my successor ; that you must settle with the Bishop, as he wished me to oppose tho Bill as It then stood." After this declaration a motion for an adjournment to that day fortnight was enrried, in the hope that the proposed meeting on the following day, between the Bishop and Trustees of Ad rnwson would lead h.) some satisfactory arrangement to terrainnte the lamentable di:tin:tea of this parish. REPRESENTATION If the COUNTY of yotur. [From the Leeds Intelligeneer.l On Saturday the adjourned meeting of the Friend. o r the Protestant Cause, in Leeds, was held at th e Court House, and a report of the preceding occurrences receiv e d . A resolution was then paced, that copies of the requi l i s i, to Mr. Wilson, and of that Gentleman's answer, a s ' ,di of the resolutions entered into at York, and of the rtg o sition to Mr. Duncombe, should be printed and distributed' throughout the county, prefaced by a letter from 0,, Mayor. On Monday the Friends of the I'rntestant C ause in 43radford held a meeting at the Talbot Inn, to receive ti le Rerort of their Deputation. We may truly add, that in every quarter Ur. Wil lo w s compliance with the call of the county, and th e p roeeedin„3 at York, have giren unmixed satisfaction, and inspired% confidence bordering on Certainty of the complete success of the Protestant cause in tbis county. During Lord Macdpnald's stay in Leeds, his Lordstip had the pleasure to receive a letter from C. D uneornbe Esq. of Duncornbe Park, father of Mr. Wm. Duncombe. acknowledging on his own part, and that of his son, there. ceipt of the Resolutions and Requisition already menticani. The strongest expressions were employed in the letter i o express Mr. Duncombe's thanks, and those of Duncombe to Lord Macdonald, to the Gentlemen who ea at the George Inn, and to the Freeholders generally, f or the late proceedings relative to the Election. It also con . tallied an invitation to his Lordship, the Mayor of t ee d, and the other Gentlemen named in the sixth Resolution' passed at York, to come and dine at Duncombe Park oa Thursday, take beds there that night, and accomp any M r Duneombe to York, to the adjourned meeting on Friday for receiving the answer to the Requisition. From 16 tenor of the letter, acre is not the least doubt but William Duncombe will come forward as another tan:Lai, at the next election. The invitation bats of course been & cepted, and Lord Macdonald. the Mayor of Leeds, aw l some other Gentlemen, left here this morning for Me!tcr to visit Mr. Wilson, and proceed from thence to-mono, to Duncombe Park. Last week the Whigs had a private meeting at %VAL fed, of the most covert description. The only pan of :1 proceedings which has been flitulgttlis, that it was dew m'ned, on behalf of Lord Milton, to send retainers for ti next election forthwith to all the solicitors in the count who are supposed to be fri(n-l!y to his Lordship's intere A great number of these communications have accordin[ii been circulated, but in several instances not =vino. Such a measure, on the part of one candidate, hating reo dered it imperative on the others to 'follow the example, great number of retainers have also been sent by Mr. R. son to such solicitors as are disposed to give their profi t . sional aid to him at the ensuing election. Mr. Worth has likewise thought it worth while to communicate wii some of his constituents, and has, with that view, at dressed the following letter to the Rev. Het.ry Heap, Vial of Bradford : Wortley Hall, Dec. 3. 1823. Dear Sir,—Your letter of the 30th November, for some teas,. which L cannot account for, only reached in. last night. 1 you very sincerely for the risurauces it contains, and am very at: sable of the kindness which induced you to write it. I cannot, however, ask support upon the ground of any thIV in my opinion, as stated in the paragraph to which you 'lie,: Whence such a report arose, I am quite at a loss even to conic tore, and treated it, at first, u one of those things which so of: appear in newspapers, respecting persons in public life, as if for th sole purpose of filling the columns. Finding, however, that tome Or my constituents, and the public at large, were likely to be de. eeived by it. I wrote a letter on Tuesday last, to the Miter of the Yorkshire Gazette, to deny the truth of it, which letter I audio. razed him to insert in his paper of this very day. But I should have hoped that a moment's reflection upon the character I have hitherto sustained through life, would have ben sufficient to have prevented any one of my constituents from prior credit to such a report. For now nearly E 5 years, I have heard the question of Catholic Emancipation argued and discussed, by men, perhaps. of therm. sat masoning powers that ever adorned this country. It is impel. sible that I should not have made up my mind upon it, in one inn or other; and if I had not, I take leave to say, that.l should be unfit fur the station in which 1 have been place during the two len Parliaments. And I should he still more unfit For that honourable station, if I could be induced to give up an opinion so formed. ft the purpose, or with the hope. of obtaining a few rotes, teem the utmost popularity at an election. Upon the defence of this deliberately formed opinion, I will not new enter, as it would lead me too far for the limits of this letter ; but you know, and the country knows, that I at ro time shtinl from the defence of any opinions I may have, and I look formed with anxious impatience to an opportunity when I can meet, fire to face, those persons, who are now falsely insinuating that I hare ever deceived my constituents upon this subject. The Gentlemen who are now, for the first time. asking the confidence of the Freeholders. may be justified in taking steps et this pestod to bring their pretensions berme them, while I cannot but feel that some of the duty which his been intrusted to me a still to be performed, and that until the whale is concluded, I can have no right to ask for their renewed support. In the man time I must trust to the kind feelings cf my friends to prevent my suffering any disadvantage from tidy circumstance. Si henna the proper time comes, I shell again 'orient myself to the county. and it will be for the Freeholders to say, whether I hays executed the trust they have reposed in me tin two Parliaments, diligently and conscientiously. Such has hitherto been my endeavour, and if I have succeeded in it, I cannot believe that they will say that I am unfit to be spin trusted, because I now adhere to an opinion upon this gteat sub. jest, which I held, and had even acted upon. before my but election to be one of the Representatives of this county. You are quits at liberty not may w show this lout to any person you may choose, but even to make it public is any way you may think proper. Again returning to you my thanks for the kind feelings you him expressed towards me, I am, dear Sir, your faithful humble servant, J. A. bTUART WORTLEY. The Reverend the Vicar of Bradford. The followiug is the letter above alluded to, received the Editor of the Yorkshire Gezef le. Wortley Hall, Nov. 29,1&S 812,—1n your paper of Saturday last I observe the following ps. ragraph, stated to be taken from the York Chronicle of the price. hag Thursday, and which I have since seen repeated in the I.c■ita Newspapers. " Mr. S. Wortley—lt Is rumour:d, that in consequently; Its change lately petceptible in the aspect of the Catholic comior, Mr. Worthy does not consider himself warranted in suppetwi in future." Being at all times most anxious that my political opinions shot4i be thoroughly known by my constituents, I am mote proru:rit so at this pertod, and with reference to the great question alluded u in the above paragraph. I beg, therefore, to ray, that there is no foundation for the nroco which tt mentions. . . _ You are at liberty, if you think proper, to publish aisle:es your next number.—.l am, Sir, Your very humble Servant.
