We are happy to preface our remarks upon the Ttfeeting and consequent Riots, so fully described in onr other pages, with the assurance that this they till is tranquil and quiet : throughout the Mc-, .tropolis.

We observe that pretences, arc never %canting for jz,et'ing together the Mob, and notwrthstanding the rho aSii I exhortations of their Misleaders to conduct thentseives with propriety, We also see ;that ilicy are never. got , together without injiiry to the persons and properties Ail liege sub jects, and the dread and terror of every good' To'allow the'establishment of these mob pieeting4 by precedent into euatomeanoot he tiAletaceil.. Enough has been done to WOllllll the strong interference of the Executive, not. merely in ip.ulling the disorders whiCh are Sure to arise, but in taking awartheir•instigation. It is cunniogly attempted to separate the Ont. rages of •Yestchtly from the S'pl,tields llcetin ;, because those win) ,set o» the multitude have not the courage to lead theta. into action., but leave them to become the victims of the offences their infernal arts have incited them to commit. This illa miserable shift, but the llnwrs and PO A RETTS are masters of prevarication, and know how to instigate the dregs of, the populace to deeds' of peril and infamy, without sharing anght ,but the brtter .with their deluded adherents. Let it, not be supposed.that we are the advocates for withholding any popular rights. We are for the People against the Muli. We are for.the Go vernment, becanse,it is the Key stone of the Social Arch, Or rather the Pillar, leaning upon ‘videh the ytt Whole structure of Society is formed, " IT e t l ►tc l a re war aq :tiost those Miscreants who are working upon the sufferings of the Many to accomplish their O'Nll horrid purposes, and not to promote the %t cal or the Luwer Orders, while they aim at the dt ruction of all that•is respectable and good. Jr is such men as HUNT and CORBETT 1'0)0ln every Briton ought to blithe and abhor for their incendiary attempts to defeat Charity and impede Relief, in order that they may aggravate the, mi series of the I'uor to the desperate pitch necessary for the gratification of their own fiendish passions. We have not space to pursue theie observa tions.—Our First Page, under the head of Em ploymint and Relief of the Poor,” v ontain 3 th e best antidote we can administer to the designs of these worthies/ Agitators. AV6 are ilow perfectly assured that the character of Mr. PARKE 3 is Very different ftotn what has barn attributed to him in political matters. His °emitter at the first. Spa-fields Meeting was that of a Mediator, and not that of a person who went thither for the purpose of addressing the Multi tude. orator. RUNT, in his Speech, complained of oar sending him to Bedlam, and seriously refuted the i m putation of madness. He also denied having been Irowned in a Drain, as humorously stated in a Morning Paper. We can only say that he seems very fit for the first of these allotments, or a worse places anti bad the second story been re illy true, it would have been a public benefit. The Paris Papers of the 30th, which arrived th:, morning, me filled with the sequel to a stormy deltate on the Petition of l!fatlemoiselle RORERT, the Proprietress of the suppressed Journal “ - Le Fidel:, Awl du Rot." This - discussion, whicb lasted tern days, We inw.n.t , altogether toAnorrow. It ended by Ministeri carrying the Previous Chia. tints, and thus sainctioning a gross outrage upon the Liberty and Property of the Subject. The Chamber of Peers, upon the Report of the Commission of 'Petitions, 'anal after some re - marks by Lally Toliendal upon the Petition of Miss Robert, concerning the arrest and imprisonment of her father and brother, passed immtidiately to the order of theday ou the petition. The French Fowls have fallen to 5.1 F. 731 c. The following Extracts are from n Flanders Mail just received : " Nov. `22.—The price of corn begins to fall ; it is hoped that the fall will be as progre,sive as the rise has been. At Strasburgh they are cutting the greatest activity to lot ns a large magazine of corn, by means of a subscrip tion in shares, composed entirely of corn pm.• chased in other countries, 'rite same measure is executing at Colmar and Nancy. On the 17th inst. a test ible fire broke out here : 'three houses and two barns were reduced to ashes. A young man lost his life on this occasion, and six other persons were seriously wounded. " BRUSSELS, Nov. 27.—They write from Cam. bray, that the Duke of. Wellington is still (it his head-quarters at St. Martin, where pleastireß entertainments follow in• rapid sttecositm.

LutivaiN, Nov. 28.—The price of corn fell To th!),in onr market : wheat was sold at 30 francs -10 centimes per hectolitre, rye at 27f. 92c., and potatoes at 61. 98e.

""r' Onlhe 26th o i f this month his Majesty sent a me%cage to the States,Geueral, relative to the eAablishment of premiums of the Herring Fishery." The most gratifying fact disclosed in these Papers is the almost general fell of the price of grain.

Whilst in their service he had been particularly enterprising, and was on liis return to that port from a long and successful cruise, When 'he received intelligence of the Portuguese having; taken possession, of l‘ronte Video (proba 14 in behalf of Spain), which of course would be followed by other operations against the Republi cans, so that had he contiinied his voyage he might have exposed himself to capture, and there fore, as he cottld no longer be of. service to the cause that he had espoused, he'shaped his course for these seas, and proceeded to leeward, perloys to obtain supplies or dispose of the vessel in sons neutral island." .5:0 much for this Buccaneer, whose.cruise has been a piratical Expedition, and :whose (disposal of the prizes be has captoichs the sale of general I under.

B:iIGI - ITON, Dzc. 2. This afternoon the ino:it distinguished brandies of the Royal Family made their triennial visit to this town, in the presence of her MAJZSTY and the PRINCESSES. Although it was known for many - days that the QUEEN would honour the Pavilion with her fesidence, yet "the uncertainty of the „rival of ,the PRINCE REGENT rather confined the expectations of the inhabitants to a probable post ponement of the event to a later day, and from this opinion being the current report, the intend ed' routine of public expressions of loy klty and respect to the Illustrious Personages were alike deferred. However, the military .were ordered to be in attendance, and the.loth Hussars and a part of the slst Regiment of light infantry, do ing duty here, received the Royal Fatally with . the usual honour as they entered the Pavilion gates. Soon after three o'clock, the carriages of the attendants and - officers of her Majesty's house hold began to arrive, and then the numbers of the peop!e increased to welcome her Majesty. At hall past four, the Royal carriages entered the town. The Duke of Clarence arrivLa hind flitshey Palk, and in a few minutes afterwards her Ma jesty, accompanied by the Princess Augusta and Lady Afticeteskeill, 'tiroy.e' to. the Pavilion. .The, Royal Party. left Wlndsrir .a !Afore nine o'clock in t!ie morning, and travelled by way .Kingstou aid Reieate.

PLYMOUTH, NOV. 30.—The Revolutionaire, Captain Woot.com a, arrived _yesterday from the East Indies, but dues not bring any news, haying sailed' front - Trincomalee before any of the ships which have lately arrived. While lying in Simon's 13ay, at the Cape of, Good Hope, she was driven on shore by a' violent gale of wind, and to mach damaged, as to be for a long time prevented from continuing her voyage to England : she made upwards of five feet water an hour, and it war of course corie_ikred n ecessar y that she should be hove down and repaired us well as circumstances would admit.

On the Stit ult. there was a very heavy gale of wind at Lisbon, in which thirty-three fishing boats foundered, and above a hundred puor fel lows were drowned. Tile rapidity with which the gale came on is remarkable ; not more than ten minutes before the fatal catastrophe ft cwt~ a calm THE RIOTS. We have below selected all the farther Pertictt• tars which have transpired relative to the eventful history of yesterday, but previous to coming to that narrative, it is necessary for us to re-insert what appeared in our later Editions of THE Surf, and correct those errors which the state of things rendered unavoidable. In the first place, it appears that our Reporter was wrong in mentioning Mr. Parkes as the per son who addresser; the mob from the waggon is Spa-fields. That person did not attend the Meet ing, and an apology is what we freely offer for the mistake which implicated hint in the atrocities of yesterday. Sun-Office, Three o'Clock.
