FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated July 21.) . - CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 26.—The Government is informed of the entrance and progress of the Rus sians in the territory.of the empire, and seems to entertain much feat: for the tranquillity of the capital, the population of which does not yet know the danger which threatens them. It is certain that they no longer show any warlike sentiments, and that in case of the approach of the enemy they would rather turn against their own superiors. The Sultan, not withstanding his energy, has probably not sufficient means to ensure the tranquillity of the capital, in case that he should be obliged to leave it to take the field. He appears to be sensible of this, and though he has declared, that after having seen wiih indifference the occupation of the Principalities, he would mount his horse, and followed by the whole nation,.goand offer battle to the enemy, if they pass the 'Danube, it is certain that there is as little appearance of his de parture as of that of the Grand Vizier, and of the hoisting of the sacred standard. • The troops sent to the army march in small divi sions of 1,200 or 1,500 men, after 4ving been re viewed by the Sultan, and are sent quickly to Adria- 1 nople, where it is said that Hussein Pacha has not above 1.5,000 men under his comrrand. BUCHAREST, JULY 1.-Alt the accounts from the Russian army agree that all the places and ports long the Black Sea will soon be taken, and that the supply of the army will thus be secured. Nevertheless, as the army approaches the chain of mountains, the operations must be expected to he more slow. The corps of Colonel Roth has passed the Danube at Hirsova, of which the Russians are masters, and will join the grand army - with which At will act against Schumla. The reserve under General Witt is advancing in - Wallachia, and will in a few days take up the posi tion left by General Roth. The garrison of Brailow, apprehending the fate which may await it at Silistria, had asked to remain prisoners of war among the Russians ; but the Rus sian commander, who accompanied them, did not think himself authorized to grant their request: All that has been reported in foreign countries, of extraordinary contributions in the Municipalities, is entirely false. PARIS, JULY 20.—Lord Stuart, the Ambassador from his Britannic Majesty to the Court of Prance, arrived at Paris last night. Letters from Vayonne of the 13th say—" The Marquis de Chaves left this city the day before yes terday to return to Portugal. His passports, how ever, were given him only to Madrid, where he will doubtless find others." . The Augtburgh Gazelle says, that it is ascertained that General Paskervitsch has already made himself master of Bajasid, Kars, and Ackalzicke, in Asiatic Turkey. GERMAN PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 25.—1 t is not the Grand Visir, but his Kiaja Bey, who with many Agas is gone to Adrianople in consequence of the passage of the Danube by the Russians. They, lead the van of a great army of 100,000 men the levy of the. capital, and at the head of which the Grand Vizir has placed himself. Four hundred and sixty-nine Russians taken prisoners in a sally from Brailow were brought in here yesterday, and taken to the head quarters of the Seraskier. • Official news has been received from the Morea of the failure of the negotiations set on foot through the Greek Bishops with theinsurgents‘ The Greeks had rejected every proposal, and referred to the Convention of 6th July. JUNE 26.—We are quite without any informa tion from the theatre of war, the Porte using every means to prevent any from being.published. All the ' Tartars sent from the army are stopped by order of ' the Reis Effendi, between this city and Adrianople, their dN)atehes taken from them and .given to others. 'i measures that have beets adopted within these three days too plainly indicate the dan ger that threatens la. Orders have been sent to all the Imans and Mai labs to summon all Mussulnien, from 14 ,to 60 years of acre, to arms. A firman to this effect has been read in the mosques here, but has not excited any general enthusiasm. This, however, is what the Sultan aims at, and it seems that he intends to adopt the last resource, namely, the hoisting of the standard of the Prophet. All the preparations for this are said to have already been made in the seraglio. EXCHANGES ON LONDOW.—Hamburgh, July 13.-13 11i; two months, 13 10i. Leipsic, July I C—Three months, 6 141.

Some few episodes in the history of the treatment received by the American Loyalists, from Lords Liverpool and Bexley, illustrate more forcibly than our recent quotation from The Englishman, the cha racter and principles of that machine which we dig nify by. the name of Government. When Mr. Van sittart (now Lord Bexley) offered the. balance of the Droits of Admiralty as a compromise of the claims, the claimants very properly remonstrated against what they conceived an act of shuffling and in justice. They said, for more than 313 years your want of deeision, and your hostility to our rights, have kept us in degradation and poverty: the majority of us have passed the age of enjoyment; your conduct has forced us to throw ourselves, as a forlorn hope, upon au assembly of your own adherents, and such have been your proceedings. So just are our claims, that even your partizans have voted against you. Why then talk of compromise—of paying us a few shillings in the pound—unless you mean to declare the Government a bankrupt, and pay a small divi dend to all claimants or creditors of the State ? If our claims are just, p a y us all; if unjust, pay u s no thing." The sic taWo was Mr. Vausittart's only reply. When the balance of the Droits was transferred, the claimants insisted that the amount was 142,000/., and the Treasury, with the most unblushing hardihood, asserted it to be only 62,000/. Asset -6011 and contradiction were iterated and reiterated, until the claimants gave proofs of. having. contrived to possess themselves of the secret ; arid then-it was confessed that Lord Liverpool had abstracted two ,cross of forty thousand potthds each to pay the King's travelling expenses to Scotland and Ire land. "What!" cried the Loyalists, "are the diznity, the gratitude, the very honesty of th e King to be 'brought into question, by his ser vants sponging from the poor Loyalists his Majesty',.B post-chaise hire and tavern bills Before the final payment of the 62,00 W., two ,new claims of 15,000/. arose, and Mr. Vansittart in sted that , they should be paid out of the.first The claimants indignantly declared, that s ooner than submit to what they conceived to be such a fraud, they would come again before Parliainent and. tell the whole story, even with the certainty of being defeat ed by the Treasury retainers in the House. Upon this the Treasury said, " We will make out some ease f or the House of .Commons and contrive to get you a v ote for 15,0004" This was done and the sum tot +l paid to the Loyalists was 77,0001. But the clima x is, that Lord Liverpool (by com parison, at least, with those around him) was termed a man of imtnaculate integrity, and Mr. Vansittart (Lord Bexley), to his immaculate integrity, h a , added an ultraism in religion. Public opinion and private consciences are very capricious things to estimate ; but of this we are sure, that the suffering widows and orphans of the deluded. Loyalists always bless the integrity and mercy of Lords Liver pool and Bexley. The Swedes use a degree of freedom and fa miliarity towards strangers not very agreeable to the na tives of countries accustomed to more polished habits ; but t his fiult is more than counterbalanced by their love of truth And hoaesty, as well as by their bravery and hospi- Vity. will be made in order to second more effectually the operations of the army along the coast of the Black Sea. The Irish Papers of Monday's date, received this morning, make no allusion - whatever to . the reported rebellion, insurrection,'disturbance, riot, or " whatever other title suits it," about which some of our contemporaries were sound ing the trumpet of ridiculous alarm. The forty thousand men have = melted away, in the morning mist which enveloped• the - haunted bog of Ballinamore—and their pikes—the omi nous pikes—have been left behind them as me morials of their retreat, waving their drooping heads among the kindred rushes of the military marsh. So much, for the 12th of - July—and the Battle of the Boyne ! We are afraid that. Mr.' D AW SON and his 'military second will arrive a week too late to partake of the fun. Mr. O'CONNELL was in extacies at the portentous fog which carried away the main army of 40,000 strong, and says, on the authority of a Member of Par , liament, that the Rebellion was as plain as a Pikestaff. . By the Corinthian London line of packet ship, and the Canada Liverpool packet ship, Papers hare been received from the former (those by the latter are not yet up) at the North and South American Coffee-house, from the prin cipal cities of the United States, it is rather re markable that both these vessels have made their passages in 22 days ; by these conveyances ac counts have been received frerri, New York to the 3d of July : Letters from the Havannals, of the 14th June, contain a certificate from three physicians, that the yellow fever, which had existeel in the spring of the year, has entirely subsided, and that the harbour is, comparatively speaking, healthy—in reality more so than it has been for years in this season. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1828. The House of Commons last night adjourned to Friday, when they will meet to give their con sent to any amendments which may be made by the Lords to the Bills now before the Upper House. On Saturday, Parliament will be pro rogued to the 21st of August, but not by his MAJESTY in person, as was formerly stated. It will be done by Commission. A rebellious spirit has recently ahewn, itself in South Carolina among the students in the college, over which the Reverend Dr. Cooper presides. These beardless youths are calculating the nature of the Union, and the probable period of its existence with the Southern States. It ap pears to have caused some sensation, and a Mr. M'Duffie seems to have been an active speech-maker, at a dinner given to him in South Carolina, in which he inveighed for two hours against the Government, on the sub ject of taxation, in severe terms. One of the papers says,--The people of this State should look well into the object of those who are talking about disunion, the very word should destroy any measure, any party, or any man ; it should cause the life blood of every friend to his country to mount with implacable horror and indigna tion. The Southern States cannot exist without the Union, their annihilation and their separation from the Union must be simultaneous ; they have no interests dis connected with the Union, and which are not supported and defended by it ; those who labour to prove the contrary, do it for the worst purposes; it is to bring on a conflict with the general Government, that certain men may rise in the storm of civil commotion. It is said that accounts have been received from Frankfert, stating that the Metalliques had risen at Vienna to 94 1-16th. The French Papers of Sunday, and the Ga zette de France dated Monday, have been re ceived, but they do not contain any fresh news from the East. An article, dated Constanti nople, June 26, states that the SULTAN seems to entertain some fear as to the tranquillity of the capital should he venture to join the army. Although his energy of character has made him feared as well as respected, yet the people view with particular prejudice the l 4 in novation introduced into the discipline of tho army, and the SULTAN feels that his hold of their affection is not so great as their previous enthusiasm had led him to expect. — He threatened to quit the Capital and join the army the moment news was brought that the Russians had crossed the Danube—but although that event had taken place nearly a month, the SULTAN remains in Constantinople. In the mean time he is constantly despatching small bodies of troops to Adrianople, and one account says that his army there does not altogether amount to more than 15,000 men. But this must surely be a great mistake. Repeated accounts say that about 100,000 men are collected between Adrianople and Schumla. Indeed, a Gentle man who has long resided in Turkey, says that the SULTAN, being perfectly satisfied that the Russians are not making war against him for the THE NEW TARIFF.—The new Tariff goes into opera tion to-day, the Ist inst. ; this circumstance, arising from. the unexpectedness with which the Bill passed Congress, will occasion much embarrassment to importers, and many vessels coming to this country would have hastened so as to be here previous to the day; had they but known of the passing of this Bill. • In this city 'there has been much anxiety on the subject. Measures were enacted to bring the Silas Richards within the operation of the old law, when her arrival on Sunday -removed the difficulty. In Boston a meeting has been held by the merchants with a view to similar objects ; taking into consideration the hardships which will press upon many ships and cargoes,, it certainly would not be unreasonable for the merchants to expect a remission of the new duty upon all such go'otis as were shipped for this country after the passing of the late Act, and before they were aware of its passim*; we are persuaded the next Congress would listen to such petitions. Iu allusion to certain resolutions entered into in South Ca rolina, the Editor of the New York Inquirer treats with contempt the whole proceedings, but still enough escapes to sbew uneasiness on the subject. The principal cause of these angry demonstrations seems to have arisen against the provisions of the new Tariff Law, which appears to be extremely unpopular generally. It may, perhaps, be worth while to give at the present moment an article extracted from the _National Intelligencer, on the commerce of the United States, which contains a table of the com merce and navigation of the United States for the year ending the 30th September, 1827, from which it appears that the total value of imports was 79,484,068 dollars, of which 74,965,496 was in American vessels, and 4,518,572 in foreign. That the total value of do mestic exports was 58,991,621 dollars, of which 50,105,379 were in American vessels, and 8,816,312 in foreign. That the total value of foreign exports was 23,403,136 dollars, of which 21,987,165 was in Ame rican vessels, and 1,415,971 in foreign. Total of foreign and domestic exports-82,324,827 dollars. The imports from England, Isle of Man, and Berwick, amounted to 28,652,883 dollars, and the exports to the same part, 24,419,017 dollars. From France the imports were 8,572,232, and the exports to the same, 12,524,303 dollars. From Cuba the imports were 7, 241,849 dollars, and 6,816,088 were exported to the same. The imports from Mexico were 5,231,867, and the imports to the same 4,173,257 dollars. From Colombia the imports were 1,550,248, and exports to the same 943,534 dollars.— From Brazil the imports were 2,060,972, and exports to the same 1,863,806 dollars. The imports from Hayti 1,459,318, to which 1,331,909 dollars were exported.— During the same time the American tonnage that entered the United States amounted to 918,369, and that which departed to 980,542 ; and the foreign tonnage that en tered amounted to 137,589, and that which departed to 131,250. acquisition - of territory, is not sorry to have an opportunity of proving to his subjects the ineffi cacy of their means of defence, and the absolute necessity of their assisting in the consolidation of the Nizant-gedid system, which it has long been his most anxious wish to establish, and against which lie has hitherto met with so many obsta cles, from the aversion of the Turks to its prin ciples. It seems, therefore, to be the intention of the SULTAN to send against the Russians as many hordes of irregular and undisciplined Asiatics as he can collect, with the view of con vincing them, by the defeat and dispersion which he expects they will meet, of the impossibility of contending against a foreign foe, whose military system is organised on principles which render it irresistible, when not opposed by means pre cisely similar. But, in this view of the subject, the SULTAN may be deluding himself; for, though the Russians at present disclaim any views of aggrandizement (till they have actually conquered) their tone may change when once they are in possession. Nothing is more com mon than an excessive show of moderation while peopl es ' reach, but: once let o bject is beyond them the clutch it, and no Russian bear ever hugged his prey with more tenacity. Nations, like in dividuals, make professions just so long as du- The people of the United States seem to be ►naking considerable preparations for the purpose of celebrating the 4th of July, the anniversary of the declaration of their in dependence. In the mean time the partisans of General Jackson and Mr. Adams were apparently straining every nerve to support their respective friends in the approaching election for the Presidency, and an angry wordy war seems to have existence in the Union in its most unlimited extent. His Majesty's ship Herald has arrived at Portsmouth with Lord A NIIIERST, the late Governor General of India, on board—all well. His Majesty's ship Alligator has arrived from Lisbon : she sailed the 13th inst., being one day later than the last arrival, and, brings no news of interest. Calcutta Jolla Bull Paper§ to the 9th March have been received at the North • and - South American Coffee-house.

The Committee of .Privileges resumed the exami. nation of witnesses this morning, and the first per son called vas Captain Francis Mason, an officer in, the Royal Navy, examined by the COMMON SERGEANT. This witness confirmed the testimony of the Rev. Mr. Roberts, whose evidence was taken on a former day. He stated that he accompanied Mr. Roberts, in 1826, to the house of Mr. Place, and on this occa sion Mr. Place acknowledged that he might have been mistaken as to the existence of a monument to Christopher Leigh, in Stoneleigh Church, and Captain Mason consequently advised him to modify . what he had said, . when examined previously by the Attorney-General, otherwise the claimant would be induced to.go on with his suit, under the idea that. the evidence of Mr. Roberts might be invalidated. Place replied, that what he. had stated was only from general impression, and could do no harm. Mr. Roberts then declared himself to be completely sa tisfied. The witness further deposed that lie had always heard Mr. Roberts say, that there was no such monument in atoneleigh Church. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Did you explain what you meant by modifying his statement to the then Attorney-General ?—I told Mr. Place, that as he had so totally mistaken what I had said to him a few months ago, it was still more likely that he should mistake the nature of the conversation which passed between him and Mr. Roberts many years ago. I told him, that by correcting his statement made by him to the Attorney-General he would do justice to Mr. Roberts, to the Stoneleigh family, as well as to the claimant himself. The witness was then ordered to withdraw. The COMMON SERGEANT said that the Rev. Mr. Roberts, who had been examined on a former day, was anxious to supply some dates, which were of great importance, and was now in attendance for that purpose. Mr. Roberts was accordingly called in, and exa mined by the Common Sergeant : I keep a diary, and from entries in the po'cket book now before me I find that Mr. Place first came to my house on Julyl9, 1817; he then asked me to solicit my brother Magistrates to hold a petty sessions at his house respecting the turning of the road ; he dined with me on that day. I saw him again on the 21st of July, and on the 20th of August. On the 29th of August, 1817, Mr. George Leigh came to me to search the parish registry. On the 12th of January, 1818, Mr. and Mrs. Place came to my house, and dined with me. Mr. Place and I went next day to the Warwick Sessions. He came back and dined with me. We went to the Sessions on the 14th, and came back to dinner; and on the Isth of January he and Mrs. Place went away. When George Leigh came to search the registry, his claim was the topic of general conversation. In answer to the Bishop of LLANDAFF, the witness said, when Captain Mason and I called on Mr. Place, Captain Mason asked him to retract publicly what he had stated to the Attorney-General. Mr. Place at the time acknowledged to ate that he was mistaken, but I understood him to object to making a public retractation. Ido not recollect that the word " modified" was used on the occasion, I rather think that Captain Mason's expression was stronger than that. Mr. Place, in fact, admitted to me that - he was mistaken, but said, that as his statement had not been made on oath it could of course be of no consequence.—The witness then withdrew. Mr. Henry Roberts,_ son to the last witness, was then examined by the COMMON SERGEANT.—I know Mr. Place, but I do not remember telling him of any inscription respecting a monument to Christopher Leigh. I received from the Rev. Mr. Ward a•copy of what was said to be that inscription. I have not the copy new, nor have I been able to find it. It was all in Latin. The first words were—Haud procul all hoc loco, and not Hand procul ex hoc loco. The name of the individual was - in Latin—it was Christopherus. In answer to the Attorney-General" the witness' said—Prior to getting the copy frir4lie Rev. Mr. Ward, I had heard the inscription talked of. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Did you in the course of conversation in your father's family ever hear him say anything as to the truth or false hood of the monument to Christopher Leigh ? Witness—l often heard him talk of it. He said that he never saw it himself, and he did not believe that it ever existed. The Bishop of LLANDAFF—Did the Reverend Mr. Ward show you the copy of the inscription as if it were the copy of a genuine one ? Witness—No; he said he never saw the monument. Lord ELDON—TeII us what he said to you, for that is part of -the , fact ? Witness—He asked me if I had ever seen what was reported to be the inscription on the monument. 1 answered, no. He then read it - over to me. I begged him to repeat it, in order that'l might write it down, and he did so. LorclELDoN.—Now, as you hare corrected it from the ex to the ab, can you tell us any more of the inscription ? Witness—No, Ido not remember any more of it. The Bishop of LLANDAFF—Did the inscription re late to the issue or marriage of Christopher Leigh ? Witness—l rather think it related to a marriage. The COMMON SERGEANT—Did you ever mention the inscription to Mr. Place as a genuine one ? Witness—Never. Witness, in answer to a question from Lord Eldon, said that the Rev. Mr. Ward was still living. On the motion Of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the further proceedings upon this claim were adjourned till the next Session of Parliament. WESTMEATH V. WESTMEATH. This appeal was also postponed till next Session. FOX V. BISHOP OF CHESTER. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that as the judg ment of the Court of King's Bench, in this case, appeared to him to be in direct opposition to a deci sion of Lord Chief Justice De Grey, in the Court of Common Pleas, on a question no wise dis tinguishable from the present, he would advise their Lordships to consult the Twelve Judges, and to postpone the consideration of this case till next Session of Parliament. _ _ Lord ELDON expressed his concurrence in the sen. hrients of the Lord Chancellor. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. BARLEE V. BAILEES._ This case has l;eett - I;efote the Court during the entire morning. It appears that in 1825 a lunacy w i t Mrs. petition was pr e s en t e d to the • Lord Chancell or b y Mr. Barlee and tw o trustees under A marriage set tlement, setting f or th that Mri, Barlee was i n an unsound state of mind, and stating various acts whi c h they conceived indicative of derangement.. Th e rights lgiig in the mist pro perty,: them h a con spiracy petition was dismissed, a .subsequently Barlee instituted a criminal prosecution against h er husbandprose cution to an d d ep t r h i e veher trustees, of her charging failed, and the Court pronounced an opinion, that there were no grounds whatever for - imputing fraudulent motives to the parties prosecuted. Upon a reference to the Master for a settle ment of the trust property, the trustees claimed to be allowed a sum of 1,600/. the amount -of the costs of defending themselves in the proceedings instituted by Mrs. Barlee, but this charge was disallowed by the Master, and the case now came on upon exceptions being taken to the Master's report, by the Trustees. • •-• The case having been fully argued, his Honour decided -.hat the costs claimed by the Trustees could not be allowed, and therefore confirmed the Master's report. The Jews of Russian Poland bury their dead immediately, and judge the vital spark , to be extinct when no steam appears on a glass when applied to the mouth. If the jolting of the cart on the way to the place of sepul. tore recalls life, they believe it is the devil who occupies the body, and deal with it accordingly, THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANOR. There is a scanty supply of most kinds of Grain fresh in this week, and though the weather has been so wet since Monday, yet there is not much doing in the market to-day, as this morning is so fine. More money is cer tainly asked for most kinds of Grain, but higher prices than on Monday cannot be obtained for any article, exeept Wheat in bond, which is 2s. per quarter higher.

(From Dr. Thurntoa's Botanical Lectures.) Now that I am speaking of berries, it , may be useful to say a few words respecting coffee. No individual who continually uses coffee can be subject to putrid fevers, and in the East of Europe it is considered as the only certain remedy for the cure of the plague. The berry. grew ori ginally in Arabia Felix, and what is there produced is termed Mocha coffee, and is certainly the finest in the world and pos sessed of the greatest perfume. It was then transphulted to Martinique, and subsequently to the East Indies, in both of which climates it now flourishes. The smaller the beriy, the better is the coffee. These persons who are desirous of guarding against fever, should always take coffee. It is a most delightful beverage, when it can be obtained fresh. It is well known that at the India House tea is kept for three years before it is exposed for sale, and in this time it can scarcely avoid losing some of its virtues. If, however, coffee were to be kept any thing like that time, it would most assuredly lose much of its beat qualities. As it is of the greatest importance to know where to find this berry in perfection, I must say that that which I use, and which in my opinion is the best and the most aromatic, I get from Mr. Nichol's, in Fenchurch-street. I would recommend everyone to drink this most exhilarating drink for breakfast at this time of the year. I hope what I have said respecting its tendency to keep off fevers has made a deep impression upon your minds; and I have further to state, that it has a great tendency to the prevention as well as cure of scorbutic humours. It is also of great use in asthmatic complaints, the paroxysms of which I have known to be abated by drinking- three or four dishes of coffee. The doctor. new showed the section of an apple, beautifully painted on glass, and in allusion to the virtues of that fruit, said that cyder was an excellent medicine, for the cure of dyspeptic complaints. He had known instances where periodical (daily) headaches were completely cured by the use of cyder as a common drink, and nothing was better adapted to reduce corpulent habits than afree use of-cyder. Doctor Thornton then exhibited some curious specimens of the effrct of oxygen gas, among which was that of its quality in promoting combustion. A piece of iron wire, about nine inches in length, was consumed in a few seconds, flying off in beautiful brilliant ;marks as it was consumed. MEETING of the DIFFERENT TRADES. Yesterday evening there was a meeting held of the De legates from the different Trades, at the Bull's Head Jewin Crescent, for the purpose of promoting the union of all the Working classes, in order to frustrate the . attempts of masters to lower the rate.of labour. Mr:Powat.t.' itaving taken the Chair, said the first bu siness to - consider was the state of `the Kidderminster car pet-weavers, who still held out against their employers.— It was evident that the only means of protection the labour ing classes had was to unite, and thus they would be able to stand against the constant inroads made on the fruits of their labour. • The Secretary read a letter received from Kiddermin ster, detailing the proceedings of the meeting of men who of f e l t d h the byworking the church classes, people, have struck f o r wages on M on d ay last. They were de termined to hold o u t if a s s isted. The masters Lad reso l ve d to call on other weavers, and to take apprentices. A cler gyman to prevent Dr. Price the clergyman referred to f rom d o i ng ftuther duty there. Dr. Price intended t o ma k e a pu bli c hadsvotcaedted to the have cause been appeal on the subject. The magistrate s were opposed to .meetings na n are ad stated the strike, but still the Men are determined to stand out against oppression. The SECRRTARY stated, that after the men had been out of work 17 weeks, the masters had at length thought proper to give their reasons for lowering the rate of la • hour. They stated, that from a strong competition in the carpet trade, if the manufacturers of Kidderminster did not reduce their prices, they would lose their trade, and therefore had finally come to the resolution to decrease the pay for weaving. He (the Secretary) was convinced if the men could stand out, the masters would yield. The men could take the trade away from the place if they pleased. A letter had appeared in the Times, stating, that the men were under the influence of the London , Committee, and generally deprecated the strike. This was untrue. The CHAIRMAN observed, thai the Journal alluded to took every means to lower the working classes. Mr. Gast , at some length, drew the attention of the Meeting to the necessity of an union of all trades, and thus protect themselves from being reduced to starvation prices. If this could he affected, the mechanics would then be able to dictate terms. The stand made by the shipwrights in the river Thames, had been stigmatised by the Times, and that paper would not put in his answer without paying handsomely for it. Let the men be true to themselves, and they need fear no one. He moved a resolution ap proving the conduct of all those towns who had come forward to assist the carpet weavers by subscriptions. Mr. WALLACE at some length endeavoured to prove, that the principles of free trade would ruin the country. He instanced the cotton-manufactures of Lancashire, the wages of the weaver having in that province fallen from 20s. and 30s. to 55. and 6s. per week. The wages ou otl►er branches of trade had fallen in nearly the same pro., portion, and he thought nothing could save the working classes without a general stand was made against reduc tions in wages. _ _ Other pe - rsons advocated the same principle, and a f ter subscriptions had been made for the carpet weaver., thv Meeting adjourned.

Mr. BUTLER, in an energetic speech, inveighed againg the present proceedings of the Roman Ca tholic leaders, and concluded by moving a resolution to the following effect Resolved—That the Lord Mayor and the Board of Aldermen should be requested to concur • with the Sheriffs and Com Mons in appointing a Committee to prepare petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons to disfranchise the 40s. free- holders of Ireland, who had abused the trust corn mitted. to their care, under the direCtion and insi dious influence of their political priesthood, and who gave a dangerous power to an illegal assembly, meeting under the name of the Roman Catholic Association, for the professed purpose of seeking for Emancipation, but which, it was clearly demon- • strated, had for its object Revolution."
