LEEDS, JULY 19. A Meeting was held this day on Hunslet Moor, according to notice given in the Public Papers, end by Placards which were posted up in every p,irt of the town. Notwithstanding, however, this publicity, and the additional impetus which was supposed the proceedings at Birmingham, Barnsley, &c. woniti have given to the Advocates of Universal Suffrage and Annual Pat liaments, the as sembly was far from numerous—there being only front 4 to 5000 persons present ; and every thing %veto out off very tamely. The chair was taken about half-past ,twelve o'clock, hy Mr. .lAstes MANN, of this town, one of the persons who was arrested under the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. Ile said it was the duty of every person to come for ward to redress the manifold grievances of their Country, which Were produced by an Overwhelm ing taxation which took from every man the greatest part of the produce of industry. He exhorted them to conduct themselves with moderation, and to observe a peaceable demeanour. Mr. MASON moved the resolutions, which were in substance :—There is no such thing as servil tude, and.all statutes or enactments which have a tendency to benefit one part of society at the expense of another, are unjust ;—that as the Le gilature have in many instances treated their pe titiOnS with the utmos! indifference and contempt, it W7l. necessary to make - a s.olemn appeal to the F topie to form a National, Union, in order to procure such an overwhelming ritajority of all the mare population, as cannot fail to Procure the. tals ject in view;—that as Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments are the eisential principles of the English Constitution, they Would consider their grievances unredressed, anti o their rights with held, till they were possessed of them ;—that the Saving, Banks scheme was an insult to cOmninn sense, and right understauding ;.e--that Deputy Meetings should be appointed, to consist of wise -and able men ; and to meet at any given place ; "that front" these Meetings District Meetings should be formed, to extend ,throughout the •whole United Kingdom ; and aNational Meetin . g front the District Meetings, to bring the whole into one focus ~in order to adopt measures for obtaining '; a Reform in the Commons HooseOf Parliament, on - the basis of Universal Suffrage, Annual Parlia ments, and Election by Ballot ;—that no redress., could be obtained but from themselves ; and it they failed' to eitert with vigour, the means they bad in their. hands, they would merit the priva tions, they endured, and deserve the execrations of po , terity ;--that should the usurpers of their 'rights' proceed to acts of violence, and even in- 1 career ate itntividuals, they should still persevere, and use every. means-in their power, to lighten the dieing and enliven the dungeons of those who suffered in the CatisC of the people ;—that it is the fluty of every member of society to resist, the exe cution.'of oppreisiVe and partial laws, which if a single individual were to do, it would be his ruin, hut if 'a whole nation did it, they must be success ful ;—that a very small number of individuals had I long guided -the counsels, and plundered the peo ple, and to perpetuate their fraud, had hired the , offsconrings of society to print and publish News papers, which had long succeeded in persuading those .who ought to have been the Leaders of the people, that the measures of Government were calculated for their benefit ;—that as soon, as an eliiblc - person zeal be found, who will ac cept the appointment, to represent the un represented inhabitant; of the town of Leeds, another Meeting shill be called, for the pur• pose , of .electing him to that situation. The Resolutions were all carried unanimously Mr. Fitton, (of Roydon) Mr. Knight, (from Manchester) Mr. Brayshaw, of Yeadou) Mr. Willatt, (of Dewsktsry) Mr. Grainger, and Mr. Uaiuses, (Printer of The Leeds Mercury) severally ddressed the Meeting on the old topics ; Knight recommended them to abstain from paying of taxes, as no man was bound to pay taxes imposed without his cooseut ; and he could not he said to give his consent to taxation who had not a vote for Members of Parliament. Fitton then read the Appeal to the Nation, which the Committee bad prepared. (It was not stated, however, who corn posed this Committee, how they were appointed, Dor under what authority they acted.)—l t went over the same ground as had been embraced by the Re solutions, and called upon the People to form a National Union to obtain their rights.—Tite thanks of the Meeting were then passed to Majc s w Cartwright, Wm. Cobbett, Esquire, Henry Hunt, Clquire, 4lessrs. Woolen, Sherwin, Knight, and Johnson;'of Manchester, I3aines (the printer), the Chairman, the men who signed the re quisition, and other reforming worthies ; when the Meeting adjourned. It was con ducted very peaceably; and as soon as the Chair man announced that the Meeting was dissolved, the people left the ground, as if eager to- be die- , tried. 1c t h Utz :Ern wll.l take Cie managing par: in these :\ieetings are in corice :lOn . 1h each other, and alsn with the nest of traitors in London ; and it is ((pally evident that the great bulk.ot their auditors are totally uncon nected with them.

Sunday last. The Session of the Chambers was closed on Saturday ; there was no Speech, as in the case of our own Parliament, but merely a formal Proclamation, signed by the KING, or dering the Session to be closed, upon the read ing of which in both Chambers respectively, each of them separated. There was previously some judicial business in the Chamber of Peers, Which caused a delay, and the Members of the Chamber of Deputies becoming impatient, gradu ally retired, until no more than 40 remained, when at half-past five o'clock the Ministers were 111t1 , 3thIrCit, 8.;10 li;e (,out:!

JULY 4.—Great activity prevails in the French Legation, which tras received several Coo t iers within these iew days. It is believed that there will be concluded, previous to the Coronation of the King of France, at least a provisional arrange ment under which several Prelates of that King dom may take possession of their sees. " FRANKFORT, JULY 13.—The medical men who attend Sandt consider him to be incurable, but they are of opinion, that his life may be pro longed for three months, or even longer, in con sequence of the goodness of his constitution. The Commission continues its investigations, but still, it is said, without obtaining any informa tion of importance. Sandt does not manifest the slightest regret for the crime he has committed. " FRANKFORT, JULY' 13.--Lord Walpole, Mi nister Plenipotentiary from England to the Court of Russia, arrived here yesterday from Peters burghs. " We learn from Hanover, that the States are to be convoked in September." New York Papers to the 24th of June, and Boston Papers •o the 22d, arrived this morning. (From Tik. New York Evening- Post.) CLAIMS OF PORTUGAL.— A notice has been is sued in Portugal, by the Board :of Commerce, from which it appear; that the Portuguese Go vernment is prepa. ing to claim of the United States the amount of the losses sustained by their merchants, in consequence of the captures by pri vateers under the Artigas flag. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ST. THOMAS'S, JUNE 7. " The British sloop of war Fly has arrived here, with Captain NV. It. MASON On board, a prisoner. -The circumstances tinder which Cap tain MASON was taken are :—lt is generally understood that he was concerned as one of the owners of several privateers, or pirates, in this neighbourhood; though not on board, be was taken in the act of transporting Ne groes from a Guineaman, prize to one of the schooners, and is now detained on the principle of being a British subject, although he is a natu ralized 'American citizen, and has resided in Bal timore, where he has a family." BOSTON, JUNE 19.—A Gentleman whose con nections are naval, and whose information on such subjects is good, has just told me, that a Gentleman from Baltimore informed him, that, just before he left that city, there was a rumour of an arrival in the Chesapeake from the Mediter- ranean, and brought advic i e that the British Squa dron in that sea bad directed the United States frigate Guerrier to lower her peake as she passed the Squadron ; that Commodore WIN. HOUGH had refused to comply ; and that in con sequence the Squadron had fired into and been fired upon by the Guerrier Aux CAYES, JUNE I.—A new Tariff has just been published here, which establishes the duties. 1-laytian vessels, trading to any country (British dominions excepted) nine per cent. ; to British dominions, five per cent. Vessels from any -other country, 12 per cent. Several smaller duties have been taken off. NORFOLK, JUNE 15.—(From Monte Video.— Captain SMALL, of the Eliza Reilly, 56 days from Monte Video, furnishes the following information: sailed from Buenos Ayres 28th March, Parlow, of phi, iue Atir‘"* - l'uti.t.trs, from Ilio the ;0 h A Portuguese brig from Bahia had arrive d Maldonada, and reootted that a Poituguese of war had arrived at Bahia in a very slia ltered condition, having h a d a severe eng agement w' ti c ; one of AnTidAsf's , privateers, which term inate with the surrender . ' of 'the Portuguese. 7 Il ides were extremely scarce and high, in consegil ene : of AJI-rwAs having prohibited the selling of bee upon the shores, and exacting double Export di". (From 7'ln Commercial Advertizer) IMPORTANT CESSION. It is stated in the Canada Papers that the M isa sisagna Indians have ceded to the British Gofe r " . mem part of 2,748,000 acres of laud, egd al rp extent to 46 townships. TUB TrmEs.--A letter, dated at Aug al" ' Georgia, on the 10th i nst . says ,—Th e Comtn er i cial distress in this pl ace i s w i t h out exam ple ; 513 . 6 the number of dr a f ts th at h ave b een so ld in place in person, in the Cities of Baltimore, rreA York, Philadelphia, and returned unpaid, leas de' stroyed our confidence in that mode of remitta nce ' but added much to the general calamity. (From the Savannah Paper, June 8.) Several heavy failures have taken place in NI York. One house, we un d erstan d, f d il e d for 1 millions of dollars, and has shown property to its creditors only to the amount of 11 millions. The Report which we yesterday stated of tlc death of Earl FLTZWILLIIM, has drawn upon " 5 this day some easy astronomical pleasantry it' ll ; The Times, alluding to th e ti t l e o f our P a per,'*" an implied censure from The Morning. Chranie ler But we may ask the Conductors of both of 6° 16 Journals, if the rumour was not sufficiently pre"' lent to justify our notice of it in our Paper. SV° had several applications yesterday morning t° inquire into the truth of the rumour, and 011011 other persons from a most respectable Noblem°lll We made all due inquiry, hut the melancboif tidings had not reached Government. Simi l.° inquiries were made at' Lord BATHURST'S °I 6C6 from BESBOROUGH House. But the nowi n.. formation of Government was no proof that the disastrous fact had not taken place. Not to W ig noticed a report so prevalent, and of so WW l ' choly a nature, would have shown a contempt l . supineness and indifference on our part, of whi ch we are sure, that neither the Editor of The 1 1 ° 1s or of The Chronicle would have been duilty, 80s we are persuaded, that under similar circ► !". stances, they would have acted as we did. 7.114 Chronicle says— ' Whatever may be the discontent or indign a. tion of Englishmen, we can never think them dig posed to a system of assassination, or that an ifs' dividual of the most benevolent heart, and of the most active beneficence in the Country, I,voula selected as its first victim." We applaud the Editor for his incredulity; 1)13r , let him read the PLACARD which we have insert el this day, and which must have been drawn op b r Englishmen, and reflect on the number of de''' laded Englishmen who follow the infariW lS Reformers, and he will see how far . Elir iishmen will degenerate, and how far di e / may spread the poison of rebellion. li ce , refer also to a private letter from a most respec t ' able Correspondent at Leeds, in our Paper tb is day, to shew the extent of the mischief and f lit connexion which subsists between the Agitato rs in that quarter, and the Miscreants who assemble this day to disturb the peace of the Metropoli s ' and it possible to involve the Country in ruin. We conclude with again assuring the Publi c ' that although the would be Members of Parliaraellt may give one word of Peace to ten of rebellios' every precaution, Military and Civil, has bee n taken to guard the respectable Inhabitants of th e Metropolis from the attacks of a deluded Mob. REGENT'S COURT.—Yesterday at 2 o'cloc k the PRINCE REGENT held a Court at Carlton' house, which was attended by their Excellencies 4 the French Ambassador, the Sicilian Minister, th e Sardinian Minister, and the Danish Minister, Their Excellencies were severally introduced t° the Regent by Viscount Sidmouth, in the ab' seller of Viscount Castlereagh, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and conducted by Sir Robe ° Chester, the Master of the Ceremonies. Th eir Excellencies were honoured with closet audiences; Mr. Alexander Keith, the Knight Marshal °l' Scotland, was introduced to the Prince Regent by Viscount Sidmouth, upon which occasion he re" ceived the honour of Knighthood. Capt. Heathcote, R. N., was also introduced to tb 6 Prince Regent by Viscount Sidmouth, and al s° received the honour of Knighthood.—At the clo se of the Council the Recorder of London was ad mitted into the presence of the Regent, and rnau" c his report of the convicts capitally convicted 4 " the June Session, at Justice-hall, in the Bailey, when his Royal Highness was graciously pleased to re.Epite then' all during his Royal pie ty sure.
