The meeting et Hackney last week had been called by • 'ministate' scribe a crowd of " unaltamd raechouics, ragged women. and dirty children." This was the Ascription d a respectable county meeting given by The Centrum He wished them to observe the numbers and respectability of the meeting then assembled, tied look at the descrip tion which would be given of them by that tool of infamy, that instrument of oultornation and deceit. He had discovered hew it was that that piper gave its descriptions. There were persons employed es respectable perhaps as those who were engaged near him for the independent Papers. Bet the Editor 'of that Johns, was in the habit of taking up his pen and treating the true accounts de livered to him as Mahomet did the Christian system, and falsifying every sentence of them. lie resented, on behalf of the meeting. the treat ment of the Requisition lry a reptile of an agent a stipendiary tuol, paid out of those means of eorrnption which they were seeking to put down. This man had a copy of the Requisition present ed to him. He threw it down in the passage, and said indignantly. " Let me hear no more of you." He had afterwards sent a very insolent answer, writ ten on a dirty piece of paper, in which he impugned the motives of those who originated the iueetiug, and stigniatired its proceedings. The creatures of corruption felt towards the people as James 1. to the Duke of Northumberland, oho, on passitig through his Gracr'e fine estate, observed, it He will make a bonny rebel if we donna put him down."—That Monarch, however, lotal spoken some wise Clings. He observed that there was great struggling for offices and honours. Many of the courtiers offered him speeches to pronounce to Par liament. He was skilled in Scripture learning, re puted the Solomon of his day, and not a little proud of his own stile in composition. One of his ventences was well worthy the serious observation of Mini•ters. In one of his addresses to Perhas omit, after miking several sage remarks as to what gardens required watering, what to be kept dry. when the trees ought to be clipt, and so on—the Kiwi went on—" Above all, preserve to sue the affections of the people—let me be on good terms with, and live iu the hearts of my people. 1 know full well that a people may do without a King, but a King can never do without a people." Ile was remiuded, by the conduct of Ministers at present, of an anecdote of a Turkish Prince, Selitu the Second. He had lost a battle sgsinst the Greeks, was very angry at it, and rembred to put to death all the surviving officers. Ilis fool found the way into his preseticr. and questioned him as to Iris intentions. The Prince replied, that he would strangle the surviving officers fur having, like cowards, betrayed the in terests of their Sovereign. The fool asked if he hail gathered all of theta together ? Ile had not. The fool recommended, that the execution should be stayed until they were all collected, because, he observed. 4. if you kill them all now, and there should lie a fresh battle to fight soon, yon must carry the colours and I must best the drum." That government was founded in injinoice where the government was any thing and the people no thing. That government was ill f led which rested tint in the affections and confidence of the people. Ile went into a retie* of the policy winch had been pursued during the two l.st wars, iis the course 14 winch two tlionsind millions of motley had been expended. Ile descanted on a 'mother of green begs which had been brought in during the same period, under the most shallow and dis honest pretences. As to Pio liameniary R. form, he would use the words of Mr. Pitt in 1782, 'kith which he was afterwards upbraided in 1797. " iVithout a reform iu the Parliament this nation cannot be safe. As certainly as the spirit which eiwirdered the pre sent war actuates the secret Counsels of the Crown, under the influence of a defective representation, the nation will be involved in new wars and similar ca lamities. Parliamentary Reform can only be accom plished by the applications of the people, acting on the prudence of the House ; and the 'people ought to expect nothing from the House of Commons in its present defective state of representation." Ile concluded a luminous and argumentative epoee(h by moving a Petition to the King, founded on the Resolution ; which, being duly seconded, was adopted noatrianously. Mr. CHURCHMAN moved, and Mr. BEAUCHAMP seconded an Address of Congratulation to her Ma jesty the Queen, which was adopted unanimously. The Address was directed to be presented to her Majesty by the Chairman, the Committee, and the Members of Parliament pretest. The Petition to the King was to be presented by several Peers. whose names were offered for that purpose. Mr. POTTER moved the thanks of the meeting to the independent part of the press, for their patriotic exertions on behalf of the Quern. Mr. CUURCIINAN seconded the motion, and re peated the declaration of the late Mr. Sheridan— Give me the liberty of the press, on& I will give you a venal House of Peers, r corrupt majority in the House of COM sssssss will give you all the plscvs and 'minions which you will detnand—l will give you whatever Ministers the Crown may choose to appoint—give me, I say, the liberty of the press, and I will batter down those walls which you have erected in your defence.and bary you in the ruins." Mr. BEANCRAMP moved a vote of thanks to Sir Gerard Noel, who was prevented from settendiug. Thanks were voted to IL Bernal.

A great number of poor persons were unable to obtain the Bible through 'poverty, ■nd those who were supplied, expressed their ►incere gratification, while others who had received the linty Book )ears since produced them with pride to the Committee when they called.

The last Vienna Paptra stated that the celebrated At t PACH♦ had fled from the fortress of Janoina, mad bad taken refuge, with • party of his soldiers, in Sclavoilia. The following extract froin a private letter, which we received yesterday, referring to this interesting subject, seems to offer a decided contradiction to this stateinent EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER. " The rebel ALI I'ASII&W still holds out in his strong fortress. the citadel of Jannina, and ■s he has within the walls abundance of provision and ammunition, lie will probably Wile the efforts of the Turkish► army till the spring, for they are with out cannon, and the snow fallen upon the l'inthis Mountains before the last accounts came away ; it will therefore be impossible for them to transport it by that route till the mouth of April, and even then it will be difficult. Au attempt had been made to land and fit up guns from their ship ping in the Bay of Bucintro, but the enterprise was too much for the science of the Moslems, and the scheme is for the present abandoned. Signor CotLovo, A Les Chief Secretary, has fallen into the hands of the Took', and his head bas been taken offi This poo► fellow's civility and attention to English travellers made hint a great favourite among them, and his untimely death will be heard with regret. He had been • Triestine merchant, was of the Greek church, and went originally to Jaunitia on • mercantile speculation, where ALE persuaded him to enter into his service. He often exisresseil his desire to get clear of the tyrant's fangs, but whenever his wary master sent him on an embassy he took his wife anal children as hostages, leaving Signor CoLtueo the choice of having his family butcheved, or of returning again to his splendid bondage. It was on osse of these missions that he was *rind by the native Albeisiatn, and delivered over to the Turks." Paris papers of Saturday arrived at a late hoer last night, but they are still silent upon the rest and interesting question respecting the probable fate of Naples.

When the excitement caused in the public mind by the. unjust proceedings against the Quxxx shall have subsided, that is, when those who framed the conspiracy and directed the mass of perjury shall have received their merited punish• mint, we may then hope that the internal condi. lion of the country will be deemed worthy of tide serious untetition, not of the Legislature alone, but of the etilighteued classes of the communify throu;hout all parts of the empire. IVe are tired of bopiog that Parliament will s•riously undertake a review of the stile of the tiafidad. Session *Ate Session since the return of peace hire we trusted that the wisdom and humanity of the Legislature would see the necessity of forcing such an inquiry upon the Ministers, but our confidence bas been deetived. The Minister., as if delusion were ne cessary for their own safety, Session after Session assure Pi:dim:wilt that no evil exists, no danger is to be apprehended but from the rash and limpe t WOO VlOlCilet• of their proud and pampered people, and at the moment that actusl starvation was driving thousands or the industrious classes of the State in'o madness and rebellion, these wise Ministers declared that to the licentionsoess of the press alone could the alarming state of the country be justly attributed. In the mean time they main. tam their war establishment, sod to prove their conviction that want and misery could have oas share in producing the irritation in the !public mind, they impose new taxes to the amount of three millions, and enact laws to prevent the people from uttering their complaints. To the resident gentry then of the several coun. tie. alone do we now look witii any confidence, and we are not sorry to find it intionsted, that at wine of the county meetings now in die course of being called, for the purpose of preparing Addresses of Coograt ulation to the QUEEN, it is intended al.o to notice the state of the country. The subject will, no doubt, lie kept distinct from the question of the Addresses to her NIAJLETY, but the oppose. tunity afforded by the numbers assembled fiir the one purpose might be conveniently chroo-n for col lecting the sentiments of the respective counties tiq the other topic. The circurn•taoce that now presents itself as most observable in the state of the country, is the dep►e•sed condition of agriculture. The discouragement of tillage is ao weaf, that ios very many pirishes lands which bad been under tillage almost out of inetwory have been re. rived to pasture, and still the average price or corn is not silt:66lA to ply the !wee or pro ducing the diniiiiished quantity. We ate, however, far Gum thinking that ibis evil would lie remedied by the soapr and obvious plan of excluding foreign corn, or subjecting it to a duty amounting nearly to a prohibition. The existing evil appears to us to be a reaction foom the operation of the Coro Lass, and would be most effectually corrected by their mitigation or total abolition. Di.

The first act of aggression committed by LoPEZ was an ut tack sm the town of San Nicholas, in the hope of surprising the garrison there ; but the attempt was not only unsuccessful, but produced the most fatal consequence* to the town of Sault' Fe. A large body of Guaycaru Indians, who had been engaged as auxiliaries, deserted LOPEZ on his change of for tune; and, taking advantage of the unprotected slate In which Sint& Fe had been left, tittered it on their retreat—plundering, bunting, and destroying many of the houses. and committing the most dreadful outrages. LOPEZ, as soon as he received intelligence of them, hastened back to Santa Fe. The Guaycaru Indians having been genet:illy at war with Santa Fe. and the ancient animosity be. tweet, them now rekindled by this event, it is feared that some time will elapse before tranquillity can be restored and the town placed in secutity.
