CORN BILL: 7 CITY MEETING, Yesterday a Meeting of the _Merchants of Lon don was held arthe Mansion House, for the pur pose of taking . Lite, consideration the alteration 'proposed in the Corn Liws.. 'The Meeting was moost nninerons and , respectahle, arid soon" - aftei• twelvc o'clock the Egyptian Elall was quite crowd ed. The LonD MAI-0R opened the business by stating the object for which the Meetin, had heen called. In the co , irse speech his Lordship vindicated himself from iniputations which had been cast upein him another place. His con duct had been represented as having a tendency to inflame the public mind ; bitt lie had felt it his duty to call the attention of the City of Lon don to the impolicy of the measure berore Muria nient, and in doing suite was happy to find that he hadh obtaitted the approbation of his fellow citizens, but still more happy in experiencing the approbation of bis owl . o onscience Mr. LF.wrs moved a set of itesolutions against the ineas'nre before Rarliament for altering the Corn Laws, and a Petition founded upon them.. Mr, -PENTLEY, ,secondint: the Resolutions, strongly censured the proposed Law. Mr. WAITIINIAN supported the resolutions in a speech of considerabl e length, consisting, in a great measure, of a r e - statement of the arguments which he h a d urged on preceding occasions. Mr.FEARoN also supported the resohitions. Mr. Rower,orr addressed- the Meeting, and offered sonic conciliatory arguments in favour of the Growers of Corn, whom he considered entitled to a p, , oteciing price ; but his speech called forth f marks of di sa p pro b ation, and the clamour was so loud that what he said could not be heard-at a 1 short distance. Sir AVILLIAM CURTIS, Sir JAMES SnAw, and Alderman ATKINS spoke strongly in 'favour of the Resolutions. The last Gentleman stated, 'that he hoped the Petitions present edto Parliament uould at least have th e e ff ect of preventing the price from being fl7<.ed at SOs. That the measure would ,be altogether abandoned was what he could not flatter the Meeting with. Alderman REIGATE and Mr. 11AavEY spoke for the Resolutions, which, and the Petition, were unanimously carried. Thanks were afterwards voted to the Lord Mayor,- -mid the Meeting broke up,. Copies of the Petition were left in different prts of the Idansion-House, and it was imme diately signed by great numbers. It is to be pre sented to the lions& of Commons on Monday. TUE WINE TRADE. TO THE EDITOR or THE SUN. SlR—Your Correspondent, the '' bane chant," is a : , very accurate calculator;, and c,cr tainly states facts ; but there is an old maxim, which he seems to hare forgotten, viz. that not only the truth, but the whole truth, should be spoken. if the ."..Wine Merchant,'" does not know, he ought to' know, that the reduction iu the price of Wine in Portugal, SPain, and Ma deira, will more than remunerate the dealers for the additional duo?, without imposing a single fraction upon the consumer. 3 assert Positively, that Wine in the Docks has - advanced little or no thing s!n , :c the duty was proposed. l'our RtAdei:, VLItAX. - iii - 'v.] 25.~1~i•1J. .[IIECE'i.:LI) THIS MOHNING.3 BP.RLIN, !alperi,ll .

The basis of these ces sions to Hanover was settled duriog the abode of the Foreign Sovereigns in London; for even. then, in order to Satisfy if claim of about •60,000,000 Of dollars which England and Hanover had on-Prus sia on several accounts, Prussia engaged_ to cede to Hanover, Hildesheim and some other terri , - tortes surrounded by Hanover, or bordering on ; it, to the amount of a population of 3*();000 souls. The misunderstanding between the POpe and King JOachim, excites considerable at tenti4 here, since it seems that they will have very eXtensive at:id important consequences, particularly for King Joachim, who is not yet recognised by several great Powers. It is affirmed, that Denmark by the acquisition of territory which it is to obtain, will become a member of the German Confederation. The Emperor Alexander. has frequent confer ences with the Viceroy of hta!y.• It is . 4 ffirnied for certain, that the Viceroy will obtaiii.a tirinci pality in I;erinany, for which Bavaria uses all its interests. • LEIFsIC, FEB. 20.—Our Gazette. has thd - C61 . - !owing , articie.:— " respect to the partition of the kingdom -of Saxony, it is toy be remarked that, till •every tliirig respecting the partition i: , completed and in order, Prussia remains in posse - ssiOn•of the whole coun try, and the gefieral Government of the kingdom of Saxony will remain Unchanged in full activity."

[IIECPIVE6 LAST NIGHT." FLIGUE,-NIARCH 1. EXTRACT OF AN AU.TLIENTIJ LETTER FROM VI- ENNA, DATED FEB. 16, " I hasten to inform yonof the followingpzrti culars, which have come to my knowledge within these two hours. Since my last, nothing parti cular has passed in the Congress. " If the health of his Imperial 'Majesty will admit of it,' the heralds shall', on one of the days from the 16th to the 20th, at nine o'clock in the forenoon, proclaim the peace to the people in all the great squares of our capital. From ten to eleven, all the, artillery shall fire salutes, and all the bells shall b.e rung. At eleven o'clock, his Imperial Ithjesty, with the whole• Congress and. the chief Nobility, will go in grand.procession Xo. the Metropolitan Church of St. Stephen, to at tend 'Fe • Deum. ; When this is over, iheartilk:sy, will be again discharged. I n t h e 'evening there will he a grand ball, and a free admission to all the Theatres. " A general-illumination will take place in the city and suburbs, which the august Sovereigns will view. " Our frontiers are extended to the Lech.— lite Archduchess.

Austria, England, and Prance, have concluded an alliance, to which RUSsia will immediately accede. • " King of Bavaria will take up his resi; deuce at Mentz, and an Austrian General Com mandant will be placed at Munich." - HANovER, FEB, 21.—The last period of the crisis, which we - have now happily got over, was more serious than was generally supposed. Re ports were spread that an Austrian corps was on the march to enter Saxony, and the metisnres we saw. taken mulct our own eyes were not measures of permanent defence, but of temporary precau tion. Sudden orders were given to provision and strengthen Stailti ; orr troops, joined with others, were ordered to the Duchy of Bretnen and Stade; the Military school was prepared to depart. All this is no;' at oneeyeountermanded. Two di,- patches, received by 'express from Vienna, have restored tranquillity, and the Government has published an official 'notice that all the dleerence have been settled at the Congress, 'upon terms' highly advantageous to Hanover. BEaLIN, FEB:" 21.---The King of Saiwny received the in vitation•announced to him, in a let- ter . written by - the . Emperor of Austilia, which was brought Op .
