' GOTTENBtIitGIi, JAN. 16.—We have tit ru civet' intelligence that MAC? O? has followed the .exatople of his master, and taken himself off, from bit army. He travelled as a Jew merchant, "or rather as a pedlar. It is also posith,ly said that 15onigsberg is in possession of the' Russittns.— here has been a riot at the Theatre, at Berlin. The people cried out, " Long live the Emperor ALEXANDER oillussirt.!" The King, who WaS pre ;Jolt, ordered silence, but in vain. Report also says, that tl►e mob have been igj►tinl; ,its the streets with the French soldiers, and aminuber have been killed in t h e city as well in-the country, by the peasantyy. , , Letters of the 6tb, Iron) Konigsberg, by way of, Pogenwald, , state, that the Russians 'ls ere expected there on the 7th . at latest, and were looked for . with the greatest impatience, The King of Naples, kith the wreck of the army, is at on the Pugel ; to which place he h,ls e,rawn the Whole,'of the garrison of Dantzic, ex cepting 3000 men: It is said the Eanperor Al,rxiktmEa his issued it Proclamation, in which be ealls himself King of Polymcl, and Proteetcir of the States of I'rusiia.

We have seldom been in the habit' of appittulin.c the con duct of WAITIIMAN, but upon this o c casion wethink he Made some enggestions whit.) it woithl ,have been well f o r the: Meeting to. hive attended to ; nor can We conceive •a More complete con demnation of their own cause, than ,the condin.', adopted by the great, majority of the Meeting, in the attempt made to prevent Mr.WatTnu.tw from being heard. It their cause was, that of truth 'and justice, why all this fear of the arguments of those Vito are not disposed to go all lengths with them Atoll these meetings, however, the advocates for the excluiive . normopolyr , or the East India coin pail', resort to precisely the tonne arguments. It is still the cty; that the trade, if thrown open, w ill not be profitable to those ertgagill in it, and that the interests. Of the ftetropolts will be injured. It is remarkable, that when it is urged by the East India Company that the trade to India has only been produtive of loss, there Kitutild be arch disposition to et:nit:int* a losing trade, instead of I-el-Mug the opportunity to get rid of it. Upon the' question of a supposed loss to the merchants of the out-ports,' if the trade should be conceded to 'them, we have already observed, that a mere conjecture; unsupported as it is by any applicable lactS, cannot, be set against' the sound and -iegiti mate principles of commerce 'by ;at afillerenee to %vhich the general 'trade - of :Britain It hitherto flourish ed. and -increased. , As to the pica of injury to the interests 'of the Port of London, we Sall ' 'only again stet., that they are only ;Apart of the intereas of the Empire, fr:al must give way to a. tneaittre for the benefit of the At' hole.

The Loan MAYOR opened the buqinesi by short ly reminding the Assembly of the importance of that which was the subject of their meeting, which , he observed, was to consider of the mean, proper to lea tise,i to resist the attempt now . making ..to remove Lke Import Trade from the Port:of London. This attempt, if successful, might seriously affect the prosperity of the City of London, and not only the City of London, but the nation at large. Petitions to the Legislature he thought the most effectital means of guarding against that which they dreaded, and in this he hoped for the con currence of the Meeting. The resolntion of the Committee appointed to conduct the, hairless calling the present Meeting was read, and after this the draft of a Petition to Parliament. The Petition having been read, Mr. H. SMII'IL stated the subject to be of the greatest importance, not only tit -the East India Company, 'brit to ..thou-ainds of persons in .the metropolis, .who, if' the Trade were removed, Avoid(' have theirhouses, out-houses, warehouse:4, &c. 'left empty. The commerce .between this country 'and the East Indies was first opened by pirate individuals.towards the close of the 15th century. It Was carried on with lois to the par t ies engaged in it till the year 11;00, xvheit Queen Elizabeth have an exclusive Charter to tt COMpeny; PT this Compeny the trade wits carried on' till the time of Oliver Cromwell. He, in 1653, opened the trade in consequence of the clamours 'of those who were in favoni of such a measure. lt.. continued open till 1657, when those who, had been clinnorous for its opening became equally clamorous for its tieing Ont.. During this period, the influx of goods was so great as to ruin those by ,whom they were brought to this conntry:.• In the reign of William it was apin opened, and continued so for three years : but wei found so. ruinous to those , con cerned in it, that in. compliance with their wishes, thnse trading thither lvere formed into a joint. Stock Company ; and, from that time, , us a joint Stock Company,. it had continued, with much be 7 netit to the country, to carry on the trade to the East Indies, up to the present day.. If the Com pany were now deprived of their privileges, all the good conseqnences' which had resulted to th'e country would' be done away, There were in the immediate , eMploy of the Company, not fewer than . 30,000: persons and he thought, taking the aggregate :of their: families, tratiestuen, &c. directly or colleetively : conneeted with them, he might treble their number ; and, indeed, assnme,' that front 100,000 to 150,000 ,persons would be injured by the' removal of the trade, It' the ein ale were to relieve the distresses of our suf fering nianufataitrers, it might be reasomtbly re quired that 'the y should submit but the iliStresses of our manufact niers arose: out the shutting of the Norther!)

When ever peace, was 'restored, he wits confident they would have no need to; look to the East Indies for a market, trade would then revert to its ac cuitonied eleinnel, and be carried on as hereto., fore. Ile then'noticed Ole dangers to be:appre hended from a great ititlux of ili'airslieitits into, patiegyrised the establishment of 'the East India Company, and- observed, that it' inter- topers were admitted to settle 'there, tips '::mitt scene aright be acted in 11 1 (111, which' NVC h urt t.ceti acted itt,l~nietic:u.---'lhipopulatiou of the Company's territories were said to e%coetl .60,000,00 o f souls„ and he would-asti, ought the tranquility and interests of those individuals to be ieiei-iticed,, to ,give ti) the ntl-ports a partici pation in the, trade to the East Indies ?----The reve nue deri irons thitsource, which now anionuted, he believed, to neatly 4,000 000/. he expected would be fouud deficient, if the trade were open ed, He concluded, quoting a popular miter., who had observed, that it could not be doubted, that Parliattient, when the- subject eame before them, would take a large and comprehensive view of it, crud bear in mind the services, merits, and claims' of the East India Company. Mr. Bossva ,seconded .the petition. He was convinced that no, good would arise front the trade being enlarged, but on the contrary remote Evil ; he, however,. was favourable to conceding some indidgencies to the butlorts . . . The question was.then put and carried. A series of IlcsOlutions Were next rea', decla ratory of the apprehensions and sentiments of the meeting. Mr. ,WAITII MA N harOly knew front 'OW advertise ment, whether he might be permitted to offer his sentiments, as some objections had been node on a similar occasion to the expression of sentiments not exactly agreeing with those of the persons who had milled the meeting, • Mr. Twp - ,:i :46 wished the advertiseMent which had called the meetirir should b read.
