the particulars lit a conversation he had held with prince Metternich. You will appreciate the character of the ar tick in the Nalional by the silence •of the Moniteur of this day on the subject. Had it been unfounded, the Mo xittur would have formally denied the alkyd communi cation. I was informed this morning that Marshal 'Gerard had left town, post haste, last night, for the Piedniontese frontier, to take the command of the trench troops in that quarter. At a late hour last night M. Casimir rerrier relinquished the charge confided to him 1 4 . y the King on Monday last, to form and submit for his Majesty's appro bation the plan of a new Cabitt,t. The reported . entrance of MM. de Cases , Casimir P e rri e r, and Pasquier into orrice circulated on I.ltaage yesterday, was consequet.tly prema ture. M. Lafitte has accepted the essk declined by M. Casimir Pettier, and will, it is 'supposed, have drawn up this day the scheme for a welt Ministry. The Moniteur contain a list of the fifteen prisoners committed for trial for high treason. The proofs against them must have been conclusive, or undoubtedly a King and a Goverment, such as those possessed by Prance at this moment, would not have resorted to such an extre mity; but (whether owing to conscious mrmcenee, as surances of impunity, or of rescue) I am led to believe that the accused make very light of and even laugh at the proceeding. BOURSR, HALT-PAST RAlK.—TilOre has been much fluctuation on 'Change today, but 114 tendency has been towards a fall. The Three per YNnts. left off at 60 or 70 cenimes below the price of yesterday. The depression of the Five per Cents. vriot more than a franc. It was reported Ind beliived that the resignation of Id. Lafitte had peen accepted. This cannot have been correct, for I taw him on the Ministerial Bench at the Chamber of Deputies within this hour, with MM. Sebas tiani and Barthe—a circumstance which could net hate occurreA had he resigned. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, MARCH 10. NI. D u pin, Vice-President, took the Chair at two o'clock. The first part of the sitting Was taken up with the pre sentation of several reports on objects of mere loeal inte rest. The Chamber then proceeded to discuss the protect of latv relative to the sale of 600,000 acres of wood be longing to the Crown. M. Fontaine opposed the law. He Would vote for a loan to meet the exigencies of Government, but he could not sanction the destruction of the forests. M. Duvergier de Hanranne, after sayi , s; a few words on the proposed law, successively attrcs'ed the republicans, the Bonapartists, and the Anarchists, whom he accused of being the cause of the suffering state of the country, and asserted that there existcd an association for the perrose of raising disturbances whenever any excitement existed in the public triud, and that it had affiliations itt the schools. M. Barthe, Minister of Police Instruction, prayed that Hon. Members should not be always bringing the Ministry to an account for every act of their's, be it ever so trifling. He dim] not impeach their good intentions ; but by so doing they rather weakened than fortified the Administration. He begged of any person who had information to give, to let the Ministry have it,and then they would make proper use of it. (From Gan/names Messenger of Thursday.) The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance of the Bth vast., by which the Count d'Argout, Minietet tr the Ma rine and Colonies, is charged with the portfolio of the Justice Department, in the room of M.

Though no extraordinary mea nures have been observed here, from which any inference aa to a war can be drawn, for the garrison is only com pleted so as to be the foil peace establishment according to the regulation of the military fore of the confederation, an extreordinary provision for a larger garrison has been enade for only three months. But according to accounts that have been in circulation here for some days it should seem that measures cf a more serious nature are in con templation. Among other reports is that of the assem bling of an army of observation composed of troops of the confederation, to the amount of 60,000 men, between this and Landau, an I of an augmentation of our garrison. It is believed hero that the troubles in Italy were to be quickly appeased without a war, and tranquillity be re stored by reasonable and suitable concessions. On the other hand, all eyes are turned with sympathy to unhappy Poland, whose fate is perhaps now decided. Muxtcn, Maactt l.—His Majesty this day opened the Assembly of the States with the following speech : " KY DEARLY BELOVED AND FAITHFUL ESTATES OF THE KINGDOIki. " With confidence I oPenihlsSession, and expect to meet the same confidence in your Assembly. I feel my self exalted at the thought that I am King of Bavaria, which in all its provinces has honourably maintained its ancient loyalty, while insurrections were breaking out in various other countries, both near and at a distance from us." (His Majesty then expresses his satisfaction at beinc , able to state, that by the reductions he Isad made in the Administration, not only the great deficiency in the pre ceding budget had been made good, but it was practicable to repeal various taxes, and yet retain a larger surplus for important public works.) The Sinking Fund assures the expectations that were conceived of it. lam convinced that my faithful Estates of the kingdom will maintain dr+ order in the economy of the State, which has been attained with so much difficulty. " I know nothing more soothing than to be loved by my people ; but then; is also a false popularity. It is not allowable to acquire popularity at the expence of the 1%111- bling of the State. _ `The Treaties of Commerce between Prussia and Wurtemburg have proved very advantageous. Besides the accounts of the public revenue and expenditure for the second financial period, and the budget for the third, my Ministers will present to the States, for their consideration, a code of the regulations of the civil courts, which has been long desired, founded on the publicity of the proceedings, a penal code, a law relative to the free dom of the Press, and a penal forest code. Egotism, ander whatever form it may disguise itself, will, I doubt riot, be banished from this Assembly, and the welfare of Bavaria will be its sole object. " What in many countries still rem sins a deside iatum, Bavaria already possesses in its constitutional and commercial organization. Thanks to our late King, and my beloved and revered father. This 1 '`` l 'ay , nobody observes the Constitution more con scientiously than I do. I would not he an absolute sove reign. I have sworn not only to observe the Constitution myself, but to cause it to be observed. By this oath I shall immoveably abide, and unshaken will be the loyalty of the Bavarians." At the conclusion of thi s acclamation• . his Majesty was saluted with loud and repeated az t !ons from the brilliant then t re e ad t.w t o he ch o a a m th : assembly.

ItEFOItt%I MEETINGS IN StIPPORT OF HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. 134.CROUGH OF LANCASTER. Independent and Worthy freemen 'of this borough are on the qui vipe in consequence of the Plection which is to take place on Monday next. Tileonl'y 'candidate who has yet appeared on the field is Mr, ; s te‘t"l're, who stands upon the interest of the Duke of, tiat'ailton. On Tuesday a 'handbill, bearing the Ova tore I.)f H. P, Carpenter, was generally Oscaried thiough the town, stating that it was the intention tlnt.t gentleman to con test the election with Mr. Stev , att, and that his (Mr. C.'s) politi cal principles were tire a-Afite as those of Mr. Cawthorn°, the late Member fe.tha isirough ; but as Wednesday, the day on which Mr. C s Eftenter had announced his intention to appear t'erson at,_Y to solicit the suffrages of the freemen, has elapsed Without that gentleman making his appearance, anti r..S many anxious inqui ries have been made without stiede'ss to ascertain who Mr. H. P. Carpenter is, the tnest I‘,,enient suspicions are entertained that the placard is a h*Oix. Although it is very .probable that Mr. Stewart rX iil Walk over the course without any substantial oppo sitidn, It IS generally understood that some of the independent freenten are determined to put up a 'candidate of some kind or other, with a view to establish a precedent for future elections, which must be very des:rabic as " the good old town," is about to lose the proilts of 'the Assizes, which it is said are to be trans ferred to Lt7erpool and Manchester. Although, there is not any substantial opposition expected, Mr. Stewart co+o..d not obtain the promise of several resident freeii 'without having given a pledge to support the RegArtt. Ineasure brought forward by Lord John Russell, a pledge which he gave (when required) without the least he,itaidOn. MANCHESTER. It is impossible to describe the desire which has spread over every part 9 r this tohit to give support to the Ad ministration in itt,inaturcs of Reform. In this south-east cor ner we have tCO3 ° /N,710 people in a circle of which we are the centre, atyl the i•aliis of which does not exceed a dozen miles, who seem actuated by only one mind.

The meeting V•atk tailed at twelve o'clock. In the early part of the forthe, 4 .,. the town presented the animating scene of a con. stae t tuetession of arrivals from the country in all, manter of cnnteyancrs. The unanimity of the meeting was anticipated by all parties in politics, agreeing that Retbrm was highly necessary for the happiness and tranquilitg• or the country. Shortly after twelve, the chair was talCei by Ralph Thicknesse, Esq., banker, in the area of the if.A% Cloth Hall. The assemblage was addressed by the Messrs. Alston, Dutton, Lord, Shaw, Wigan, Actot% Thihant, and Messrs. Potter and Gill, of Manchester. Tfitse speakers all urged the great necessity of lleform, and expressed a firm and pledged determination ' by every means they possessed, to support his gracious Ma!, esty and his liberal Ministers. Before the close of tts proceedings a youth from the crowd obtained leave from tne Chairman to address the meeting. His garb and appearance gave not outward indication of his ability as a pubrit ipeaker, which he subsequently displayed. His address `Nu bold and fluent, and principally directed in a speech of great humour against the baneful influence of the porotighinongers, and a high encomium which he bestowed oil Messrs. Wood and Hunt, of Preston, for their censisteriby and indefatigable labours in the cause of Reform. Oh inquiry, he was ascertained to be a journeyman elogsa, and his first debut before the public as an °rata. TN Meeting, it is supposed, consisted of at least 5,000 persons, And it is satisfactory to add, that during three hours and a half's discussion, not one circumstance arising from ballot or Universal suffrage was agitated, or interrupted the uttahimity and joy that prevailed. The announcement of the measure was received here with loud and merry peals from the church bells, which have since that period been constant and clamorous advocates for Reform. All Al - ties hail the measure with satisfaction, and are deter mined to support it to the utmost of their power. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. (FRom A cOltitEsi.o.SmENT.) The great measure Of Reform now before Parliament, received this day (ThurstlaY) the unanimous sanction of one of the most numerous and respectable meetings that ever took place in the Cinildhall of this town, be the occasion what it might. ARCHIBALD REED, Esq., the Mayor of Newcastle, was in the Chair. Several excellent speeches were delivered, particularly those by Mr. J. Losh, Dr. Headlam, Mr. G. T. Dunn, and Mr. Irving Wilkinson. But what renders the whole thing most complete and satisfactory is the perfect unanimity that existed on all sides. Some apprehensions were entertained that the corporation free burgesses would thew a hostile feeling to the disfranchising clause of the Bill. No such feeling, however, prevailed, consequently the Newcastle meeting of the friends of Reform may be justly considered as triumphant a manifestation of the sentiments of the people, on the all engrossing question before the Legislature, as any that have taken place in whatever part of the kingdom. On the conclusion of the proceedings three times three cheers were given in honour of his most excellent Majesty King William the Fourth; three cheers fbr Lord Grey and the Ministers; and the like number, of cheers for the Mayor of Newcastle, the Chairman. The following were the acts of the meeting : NEWCASTLE REFORM MEETING. At a public meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle, in Guild hall assembled, on Thursday, the Elth of March, IRII, The Right Worshipful ARCHIBALD REED, Esq., Mayor of New- castle, in the Chair, The following resolutions were unanimously passed:- 1. Moved by James Losh, Esq., seconded by Alderman Bell. That in the opinion of this meeting, a full and efficient Re form in Parliament can no longer be delayed, without imminent and immediate danger to the country, to the throne itself, and to those who rashly oppose such Reform, in short, without put tinglnto instant peril the whole Constitution as now established in King',-Lords, and Commons. 2. Moved by T. E. Headlam, M.D., seconded by John Bowes Wright, Esq. That this meeting views with delight and gratitude the plan of Reform in Parliament, efficient and constitutional, submitted to the House of Commons by Lord John Russell, with the appro bation of his Majesty, and the unanimous consent of his Mini sters, being thoroughly persuaded that such a plan is well adapted to meet the pressing exigencies of the times, the political situ. ation of the country, and the just demands and expectations of the people. 3. Moved by George Thomas Dunn, Eiq., seconded by Thomas Doubleday, Esq. That it is fit that this meeting record in such a crisis the ex pression of its cordial and unhesitating loyalty to our excellent and patridtic Sovereign his Majesty King William the Fourth, its thanks to his virtuous, zealous, and independent Ministers, its assurances of continued and unflinching support through the present eventful crisis, and until the cause of Constitutional Re form shall triumph. 4. Moved by Anthony Easterby, Esq., seconded by Robert Ormston, jun. Esq. That the address and petitions now read be adopted. 5. Moved by Mr. Emerson Charnley, seconded by Mr. William Armstrong. That the address to the King, and the petition to both Houses of Parliament, be signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting. 6.

That the address to the King, and petition to the House of Commons be presented by the Members of this town, and that the Members for the county of Northumberland be earnestly re quested to support the prayer of the petition, and that Lord Grey be requested to present the pet tion to the House of Lords, On the motion of James Losh, Esq., seconded by T. E. Head lam, M.D., the thanks of the meeting were voted to the Chairman ADDRESS TO THE KING. We the inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in Guildhall assembled, beg leave humbly to approach your Majesty with our grateful congratulatious on the Bill for Reform in Parlia ment, brought into the House of Commons by your Majesty's Ministers. May we be permitted to express to your Majesty, our joyful and unanimous assurances, that in the provisions of the Bill we see safety to the country, happiness to the people, and satisfaction to all cl4ses of your Majesty's subjects. May it please your Ma jesty, to support your excellent Ministers in these salutary changes for which your people have long waited. We beg your Majesty th believe, that amongst your subjects there are none more attached to the Constitution of the King dom, to your Majesty's Royal House, and to the principles which called your Majesty's ancestors to the Throne of this country than are those who now venture to address your Majesty. We pray that your Majesty may live many years the patriot King of an admiring nation, to witness the effects of this great and salutary measure, and to enjoy the consciousness so gratify ing to a heart like that of your Majesty, of having bestowed upon your people a boon greater than ever Monarch gave, and thereby give additional lustre to the royal name of William. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) A public meeting, convened by the Right - Worshipful the Mayor, was held here to-day (Thursday), to consider of the best means of supporting the measure of Reform now before the House of Commons. The meeting was very numerous, and composed in a great measure of the burgesses, who had been led to believe that their own rights and privileges were to be for feitvd by the Bill. Several hand-bills had been circulated, urging the burgesses to attend and oppose the resolutions of the friends of Reform. About three — hundred of the lower classes of free men took possession of the Hall an hour before the appointed time of meeting, and without waiting the arrival of the Chief Magistrate, proceeded to a discussion amongst themselves, in which they were soon joined by some of the more influential burgesses. The result was, that the enemies of the Bill found themselves in so miserable a minority, even amongst the freemen, that when the chair was taken and the business of the day pro ceeded in, they deemed it right to intimate to the meeting that no amendment would be moved ! Resolutions were unanimously and enthusiastically passed to petition Parliament in support of the Bill, and also to address and thank his Majesty for the con sideration he had given to the wishes of his people. Thanks were voted to the Mayor, and after nine hearty cheers for the King the meeting broke up. A meeting of the county of Northumberland, called by the High Sheriff, is fixed for Wednesday, on the same subject. ST. IVES, HUNTINGDONSHIRE. A numerous and respectable meeting, convened by public no tice, was held at the Crown Inn, St. Ives, on Thursday evening last to petition both Houses of Parliament to pass the measure in full in all its parts, so nobly proposed by his Majesty's Mini sters for their adoption. The Chair was taken by the Rev. J. K. HOLLAND, who in an eloquent and impressive speech introduced the business of the evening. He highly approved of the Bill introduced into the House of Commons by Lord John Russell; he considered it likely to give greater satisfaction to the country than any mea sure that had ever been brought under the consideration of the House. He congratulated the country on their having a patriot King, one of the best Kings that had ever sat on the throne since the times of Alfred. Upon our having a talented Ministry, who themselves had introduced the measure, and finally great and cheeringprospectsof success presented themselves in consequence ostefl(4tenhe and• ea speech great ß e e tt f b o r nn t s f u t e st ( ; c., l h e e t e t r h s e ) people be t ru e to th em - DAY, Esq. mo ve d the adoption of the petition, and in a aCorninoenx s po w se e d re tl r ie et, m in a ie n d ne . r d i e n pr w ec h a ie t h ed A t l h e e mbersoftlie House of unconstitu tional interference o f P eers at elections ; exposed the borough system, which he considered a great curse to the country, and called upon all who loved their Ki ng and country to aid them in fighting the great battle of Reform. The worthy gentleman proceeded at great length, and in an able: manner to expose the present system, which we regret our limits will not allow us to insert. Mr. J. B. RUPH, in seconding the motion, observed that he had advocated ,Reform when it was unpopular ; he now had the honour of advocating it when it was near its final and grand ac. complishment ; for thii he would thank God take courage, and ...4 go forward. He proceed to prove that the House of Commons did not represent the people; he condemned the system, and was rejoiced to say the King was a Reformer. H is Ma jesty's Ministers were Reformers, the people were Reformers, and if they were united, and exerted their strength, in spite of all the boroughmongers,in the ickngdorn lleßtrrn would be triumphantly carried. After some flil - tner observations he entreated the meet. ing to roll! , ttitind the throne, to support the Ministers, and vie. tory would be Certain. He wished to see all excrescences re. moved from the Constitution, and the corruption andimperfec tions that deformed it done away ; and that it should be handed down pure and unimpaired to the latest pOsterity. The meeting was atverwards addressed by Mr. J. LEIGH, Mr. J. ROBT'S.tdN, jun. &c. On the motion of Mr. J. D. PAUL, seconded by Mr. A ASHTON, the petition to the Commons was entrusted to Lord John Russell. On the motion of Mr. N. ROBINS, sen., seconded by Mr. THOMAS RUPH, the petition to the Lt.'rda was entrusted to Lord Brougha'oi. The Liarucs of the meeting were voted to the Chairman for his able conduct in the Chair, for which he returned t h a nks i n a luminous, forcible, and manly speeech, which was received with repeated cheering by the numerous and respectable meeting, who separated highly delighted with the occurrences of the evening. • The I).l:2lattentarY conduct of Mr. Adeane has disgusted his constituents in this part of the country ;• and it is considered ex. tremely probable that the first time of his being returned for Cambridgeshire will be the last. lIUDDXRSFLFLD. (troni the li akefield Journal.) On Monday afternoon a meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Huddersfield, was held in the Court- House, Queen-street, "to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament to pass into a law the measures brought forward on the Ist instant, by his Majesty's Ministers, for a Reform in the represeatatihn:" Mr. JOSEPH BVAUMO'T; the constable, was called to the chair. He hoped that every man would come forward and aid, by its support, our beloved Monarch and his Ministers in purg. ing a system of rottenness which had so long existed in the Commons House of Parliament.—(Applause, and crie s of "Ad journ, adjourn.") Mr. JOHN SUTCLIFFE said that the cirfunistantes of the times required thht the people shhhfd. be al led together to ex. press their &rtinient't fully ad to whether they thought his Ma.. jetty's Ministers had done their duty or not. They had digested a plan of Reform which it was desirable should meet with stre nuous support. The system was comprehensive, and appeared to embrace every interest, from the highest aristocrat to the lowest person who still had something to de end and to call his own. Mr. Sutcliffe concluded by moving a resolution declaring that the House of Commons; as at present constituted, did not represent thepeople s and, therefore, required an efiktual Reform: Ali. THOMAS WRIGLEY seconded toe motion, which was agreed to unanimonsly. [lt was here resolved to adjourn to the market-place, where a waggon had been prepared for the convenience of the speakers and reporters. There were about 1,000 persons present.] Mr. WM. WILLANS proposed a resolution to the effect, that the meeting. wgs of opinion his Majesty's Ministers had amply itdeeined their pledge to introduce a specific theasure of Reform, and that they had thereby entitled themselves to the gratitude and support of the country. He had determined that he would never more have any thing to do with politics, be cause he felt anxious not to be connebted with any party ; but when his Majesty's Ministers had .conie fbrward with that mea sure of which they had all heard, he was no longer at liberty to choose between neutrality and activity ; for every man, whatever his influence, however limited or extended, was now called upon to exert himself to contribute towards carrying forward that splendid measure to which he had adverted.—(Hear.) Mr. JOSEPH BATLEY, of Armitage, spoke at some length on the causes which he thought had led to the change in the public opinion on the subject of Reform, which he attributed to the distress consequent upon the ruinous wars Which arose out of the French revolution, and the breaking up of the artificial system of paper money that enabled a profligate minister, by means of a corrupt Parliament, to bring upon this country an overwhelming burden of debt and taxation. He concluded by saying—" At length the growing intelligence, and yet sober mindedness-..the kindling patriotism, and yet calm moderation, —the virtuous indighation, and yet magnanimous forbearance the Klass of the people, Opens befbre us a cheering and a boundless prospect, and cannot fail, under Providence to ensure the restoration of the British constitution to its original purity.— (Applause.) Ministers will need all the strength and support which the people can give; and are we to be silent at this critical moment?..-(No, no.) Are we to be idle spectators of a struggle between the King and his Ministers on the one hand and a selfish boroughmongering faction on the other ?:.--(Loud cries of" No.") God forbid I If we do we may sigh in vain over the evils which affect our country ; we may cry out against the corruption of Parliament and lament the perpetration of abuses; but their complaints are idle so long as the people are not stirred up to exertion by patriotic motives. If the present Parliament should reject the Bill, and compel the King to dissolve it, the people of England must stand prepared to make some sacrifices both of time and money to prevent the return of those men who may vote agaihst the proposed Bill."---(Hear, hear.) Mr. W. STOCKS, Jun. hoped the meeting 'would support Ministers as far as they had promised. They went much further, taking all things together, than he supposed a Minister durst propose. Let them take what was offered cheerfully, and show that they were determined to have their rights ; let them not flinch ; let them show that every man will be found at his post, asserting his right and determined to maintain it.—(" That is right, stick to that.") Mr. MOORE—" It will be stuck to." —(Laughter.) The laws passed by the boroughrnongers were not just ; if the people had been represented would the law of pri. mogeniture have been passed? would the lately proposed duty on transfers of property have been opposed ? Mr. Stocks expressed the pleasure he felt at being surrounded by persons of all parties —the Tory as well as the radical—(Hear)—and he hoped they should that day solemnize a marriage between the parties. They were all loyal—(Mr. MOORE—" And the only loyal")—and he believed the reformer was the loyalest in the kingdom. He said he was willing to forget all past bickerings, and he hoped that at the close of the meeting they would give three cheers for the King, and three cheers for the union of parties.—(Cheers.) Mr. JOSEPH MILNER, cordially seconded the resolution. S. DICKINSON, an operative, supported the measure. Mr. SENIOR, of Dalton, moved, " That in consequence of the determined opposition of the opponents of the Reform mea. sure in the Commons' House of Parliament, this meeting feel it their duty to express their determination to support his Majesty's Ministers by every legal means within their power." Mr. BRADLEY CLAY was glad to meet the people assem bled on such an occasion. Mr. WM. MOORE (bookseller) moved that the petitions now read be adopted by this meeting, and that the petition to the House of Peers be presented by Lord Brougham, and that to the House of Commons by Lord Morpeth, and that Mr. Bethell and Sir J. V. B. Johnstone be requested to support the same. Mr. SENIOR proposed that the meeting should not be dis solved, but adjourned from time to time, till the Reform now proposed by Ministers be obtained. The motion was not seconded, and the Constable left the chair. It was taken by Mr. Stocks, when three cheers were given for 1 King William the Fourth, and three cheers for the people.—The meeting separated about five o'clock. EDINBURGH. (From the Third Edition of the New North Briton of Wednesday.) This day, at two o'clock, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Edinburgh was held in the Rose-street Chapel, called for the purpose of expressing their sentiments with regard to the Mini. sterial measure of Parliamentary Reform, now under discussion in one of the branches of the Legislature. Mr. Gibson Craig was called to the Chair. Mr. JAMES GIBSON CRAIG said that when they last met, they had resolved to send petitions to both Houses of Parliament in favour of Reform, and that petitions had since been presented, signed by upwards of `M,OOO individuals, to both Houses. At that time they thought it advisable to abstain from proposiogany plan to the Ministers, but to leave it to themselves to propose such measures upon this subject, as they, in their wisdom, might deem fit. That plan was now before them, and he (the Chair_ man) could not doubt that all were of opinion that by the plan which the Ministers had brought forward, they had nobly and honestly redeemed the pledge which they had given. lie would take the liberty of saying that it was of great importance that there should be unanimity among them on the subject. The ob ject of their enemies was to distract and divide them. Their ob ject should be to unite together, and carry forward the measure which they ,had in view. If the people are as true to them selves as the Ministers have been ,to them, their cause must and will thrive.—(Great cheering.) Mr. BOYD GREENSHIELDS, Advocate, said, the satisfac tion which I feel at seeing such a meeting, is heightened, per haps, by the effect of contrast ; for there were times which many of us remember, when the advocates of Reform—the opponents of a ruinous and destructive system—were regarded by the ruling powers of this country not merely with jealousy and sus picion, but with relentless hatred.—(Cheers.) I remember many things, " quxqui ipse miserima vidi, ' and I may add, " quorum pars magna fui,"—when we could not meet—when friends could not meet even for convivial purposes without being watched, and our names noted down by the emissaries of power. I remember that if we met a third time, we were denounced either as open enemies or secret spies. At that time servility was all and every thing—servility, more extensive than charity, covered all sins. What a contrast between that picture and the reality now pre sented to us ! An assemblage of men, secured in their persons, capable of standing forth, and capable of making their senti ments be felt even in the face of a corrupted Administration. But when I consider that we are assembled to express senti ments which are echoed from one end of the country to the other, which are adopted by all good and wise men, I feel great exultation ; and my satisfaction is increased when, instead of being opposed • by the Ministers of the Crown, we are only fol lowing them.—(Great cheering.) And we have not merely their sanction, but that of the Sovereign himself.—(Cheering.) With a feeling which I am disposed to call patriotism, I look to my own country, and, with the feelings of a Scotchman, I con template the plan for Scotland; and there I find unbounded grounds for rejoicing and congratulation. Scotland was infinitely more depressed than any other part of the empire. In England there was a representation which did not operate well, and which might be said to be diseased ; but in Scotland there was suspended animation for centuries---(Gre a t cheering)---and now it is pro posed that we should be placed upon a level with our fellow-sub jecs in the empire, and enjoy equal rights and privileges. I said we had no representation. Why, we had a representation ; but of what was it a representation with regard to burghs ? It was the representation of a few corrupt and base-minded men. I speak in general—for we find many honourable exceptions ; but in general they were the dens of corruption and baseness.—(lm mense cheering.) The power of the Council was handed from father to son—from Council to Council, and handed back again. I think I hear them taking sweet counsel together, and coun selling thus :---" Whatsoever things are impure, whatsoever things are corrupt, whatsoever things are of evil report, if there be any thing profitable, do ye these things."---(lmmense cheer ing.) Now, with regard to the counties and their freeholders —freeholders so called because they were not free, upon the same principle, I suppose, that locus a non lucendo is understood. I remember having a few years ago a conversation with a gen tleman who managed the affairs of a great landed proprietor in the West of Scotland, and I made inquiries of him with regard to the fate of an election which was to take place in the county, with which I had some connection. He stopped me short in my inquiry, with " Oh, Sir, it is all settled—the Duke and I ar ranged it at the last cattle show !"—(Loud and continued cheer ing and laughter,) —a most appropriate place and time for dis posing of the freeholders of the county, as if the Duke regarded us as of no gre a t e r va l ue th an so many head of cattle. — (Laughter.)—Now, what is offered t o us . E qua lity o f rights with our fellow subjects,—the extension of the suffrage, so as to comprehend almost every man who is capable of duly exercising that important function—the election of a member of Parlia ment. It comprehends the proprietors of the soil, the cultivators of the soil, the honest industrious tradesmen and artisans. — Every man must lend his heart to the carrying of this measure into operation. Can we doubt of success ? Here are five hun dred thousand men alone who are to receive inestimable benefit from it. Let them stand forth and support it. One hundred thousand men even against the government, would be a formid able array ; but with the government, they must and shall be successful.—(Loud and long continued cheering.)—Their suc cess will secure peace to their country ! and lastly, it will give stability to the Throne. It will place it on a rock which cannot be shaken—on the rock of public force and public virtue. Long may the Sovereign who is now seated on the Throne be preserved to us. — (Cheors. ) He who has realised what has hitherto existed only in idea. We know that it was the boast of Augustus, that he had found Rome of brick, and that he had left it of marble. A prouder boast will be that of our Sovereign. He will have to say, I found my people in bondage, and I left them free.—(lmmense and continued cheering.) I will detain you no longer than to take the liberty of reading a resolution for your adoption, if it seems to you to be properly expressed. The Learned Gentleman sat down amidst loud and long-continued plaudits, after moving the first resolution. " Resolved,—lst, That the plan of Reform lately introduced into Parliament by his Majesty's Ministers, entitles them to the gratitude of all those who are aware of the nature or value of constitutional privileges, and who are friendly to the allaying of the discontent which has so long and so justly prevailed with re. gard to the state of the representation ; it being a plan, which, while it confirms the rights of the people strengthens those of every other order in the State,,and tends; fti ah espebial manner, to secure the stability or the throne and the genetal tranquillity of the empi , e_" Mr. A. FLETCHER—I rise, Sir,du ty, in discharge a pleasing in seconding the resolution *hich has just been proposed by my Learned Friend. Who is there that will deny that the Noble Lord, Earl Grey, has not earned the gratitude of his country ? who is there that will say that he has not strengthened the in stitutions of the country ? that tie has not inside property more secure, that he has not added tenfold to the loyalty of the People, by showing the wish of his Royal Master to listen to theirjust complaints ? NOthing, Sir, is more amusing in the progress of this discussion, than the affected horror with which Tories regard all allusion to the opinion of his Majesty on this momentous question. The Tories !! ! who, if they have a creed at all, profess to think that the ififluente of the crown is dimi nishing, has diminished, and ought to be increased j.--these gen tlemen, are forsooth, alarmed by the introduction of the royal name as tending unduly to influence the votes of the Commons House of Parliament. There is a mixture of prudery and impu dence in this which cannot be excelled. Who are they that use th s cry, for argument it deserves not to be called ? Why, they are the persons, or repiesent thb petcohq, Who, for nearly half a century, kept a large portion of their countrytnen in a cruel and degraded bondage, out of deference to the prejudices of their Sovereign, or who only consented to give up the pleasure of Persecution when they found its further indulgence impossible. What was the conduct of the Tory party in 1819 ? When the people assembled, in the discharge of a Constitutional privilege, they were alsaulted by military viblente. Did the Tory Ministry of the day take the responsibility Of that measure on themselves ? Did they abstain from mixing up the King ° s sacred name with a proceeding the most unpopular that has stained the annals of the House of Hanover? No—the express and personal thanks of the King were, without loss of time, conveyed in terms of ex ulting cruelty to the men who had embrucd their hands in the blood of their fellow-citizens. Now, contrast the conduct of the two parties in the state—the Whigs and the Tories. By the Tories successive monarchs of Etigiatsd have been held out.as the patrons of intolerance, and the approving adhairers of military outrage. This is the mode in which the Tories have sought to strengthen the influence of the Crown. The Whigs, thank God, have taken a different course ; they have boldly taken upon themselves the Constitutional responsibility of laying before their Royal Master a plan by which they have endeavoured to assimi late the pratiihei with the beautiful theory of our Constitution. The Learned Gentleman Concluded with reading the following resolution : _ _ _ _ " tkl. That an address be therefore presented to his Majesty expressive of our gratitude for this wise and healing measure, and, assuring his Majesty of our cordial attachment of his Ma jesty's person and Government, and of our determination to aid him and his Ministers in this great work to the utmost of our power, notwithstanding any attempts that may be made by others to shake or obstruct them • and that this address be signed by the Preses of the meeting; arid by a Committee, in our name, andlthat the Lord Chancellor, Earl Grey, and Lord John Russell, be requested to present the same as soon as possible," Deacon SAWYERS read the following resoiution a 3d, That the meeting a . bstains from sending or taking charge of a general petition to Parliament by the inhabitants at large, because it is doubtful if such a petition can be forwarded in due time ; but they earnestly recommend petitions to both Houses to be sent from all separate bodies, in whose proceedings this difficulty does not occur; and they implore the people of Scotland to remember that this is the only opportunity they have ever had of being admitted to a share in the representation, and that their success or failure probably depends entirely on their own energy or their own apathy." Mr. STEWART Mg ri.ENZIE moved the following address to his Majesty " May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's most loyal subjects, inhabitants of the city of Edinburgh, beg leave most humbly to approach your Majesty, and to assure you of our de voted attachment to your Majesty's person, family, and Govern. ment ; and more particularly to express the lively gratitude which we feel towards your Majesty for that great and enlightened mea sure of Parliamentary Reform which has lately been brought for. ward by your Majesty's Ministers. That measure has difflised the greatest satisfaction throughout this part of the kingdom, and,has very powerfully strengthened the confidence of all classes in your Majesty's Government ; and being satisfied that it is calcu lated to promote the peace of the empire, and the stability of the throne, we beg leave to assure your Majesty of our wesolution to support your :Majesty's Ministers In any efforts which they may be obliged to make for the success of this great and necessary scheme. All this we do, not merely for ourselves, but in the names and by the desire of the inhabitants of Edinburgh as sembled at a public meeting held here on the 9th day of March, 1831, among whom there prevails all that gratitude to your Ma jesty, for this measure, which we have humbly endeavoured to express." Mr. MAITLAND (Advocate) moved the next resolution, and submitted a petition to both Houses of Parliament. Showeth,—That the inhabitants of Edinburgh and its vici nity, within these very few weeks, presented a petition to your Honourable House in favour of Parliamentary Reform, signed by about 23,000 names, " That the plan of Reform which has since been unfolded by Ministers, meets with the cordial approbation of the inhabitants of this place ; that the plan Is not merely warranted by its being in no respects more than the people are entitled to demand, but that, if securing the attachment of the people to the institu tions of the country be desirable, it is absolutely indispensable. We do not speak of Scotland alone—which has never had even the shadow of representation—but of the people at large, when we state, that though we can understand how this Reform may be resisted by those, who in effect, though not in intention, are hostile both to the monarchy, and to good order, and to every thing but abuse and corruption, we hold it to deserve—that it has received—the support of all those who are truly friendly to, and comprehend the real principles of the British Constitution. " May it therefore please your House to pass the Reform Bill, or otherwise to promote this object, with as little delay as pos sible." Mr. WHI GAM seconded the resolution. Mr. SCOTT, of Parton, afterwards addressed the meeting at considerable length. The whole of the resolutions were una nimously carried with acclamation. The Chairman stated that the fourteen Incorporated Trades of Edinburgh met yesterday: and instructed their representative, Mr. Dundas, to support his Majesty's Ministers in the measure of Reform which they had brought forward.—(Laughter.) • IRELAND—CL ONMEL, MARCH 7. The measure of Reform as developed in the able, eloquent, and truly constitutional speech of Lord John Russell, has filled the people of this town with confidence the most evident, in the good and wise intentions of his Majesty's Ministers, the carry ing of which will be the only sure and safe panacea for allaying the agitation of repeal in this country ; and strengthening the stability of the Throne throughout the empire; that the Mini stry will folio* up the good work so nobly began, cannot be questioned, for there is none of that truckling to power, place, and pensions, which characterized their predecessors. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. The Mayor of Carlisle (the Rev. Dr. Lowry) having refused to comply with a requisition, most numerously and respectably signed, requesting him to convene a meeting of the inhabitants and householders of Carlisle and its vicinity, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of thanking his Majesty's Ministers, for the measure of Parliamentary Reform proposed by them, and of petitioning the House of Commons to pass the same, the gentlemen signing the requisition have fixed a meet ing for Monday next, on the race-ground, there being no scite in Carlisle sufficiently capacious to contain the vast assembly of people likely to be present. WEYMOUTH.—A requisition has been presented to the Mayor of Weymouth for convening a meeting of the inhabitants for the purpose of petitioning Parliament, expressing their ap probation of the plan of a Reform in the representation, as laid before the house of Commons by Lord John Russell. HUDDERSFIELD.—A meeting has been held at Hudders field upon the subject of Parliamentary Reform, when it was agreed to petition Parliament, praying that the measure now under consideration might pass into a law. The petition re ceived the signatures of 3,000 n ames in a few hours. • CORDWAINERS' WARD.—Yesterday a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Cordwainers' Ward was held at the Sugar loaf Tavern, Queen-street, for the purpose of petitioning Parlia ment in favour of the new plan of Reform. LIBERTY OF THE ROLLS.—Yesterday, pursuant to a re quisition, a meeting of the inhabitants of the above liberty took place in Hopwood's Auction Rooms, Chancery-lane, for the pur pose of petitioning Parliament to pass the Bill for Reform, as brought forward by Lord John Russell. The parishioners of St. Dunstan, Stepney, resolved unani mously, at a public meeting held on Thursday, at the Golden Eagle Tavern, to petition both Houses of Parliament in favour of the Reform Bill introduced by his Majesty's Ministers. CARNARVON.—On Wednesday last a meeting of the free burgesses of Carnarvon was held, for the purpose of thanking his Majesty's Ministers for their truly patriotic plan of Parlia mentary Reform, and to petition both Houses of Parliament that the same may be passed into a law ; and also to congratulate his Majesty on the integrity of his present political servants. BELFAST.---In consequence ofa requisition having presented to the Sovereign of Belfast, " to call a meeting to take into con sideration the propriety of presenting an address to the Ministry, expressive of their gratitude for the liberal and substantial mea sure which has been recommended for the adoption of the Legis lature," the Sovereign has appointed Wednesday next for the purpose. EDINBURGH.—Town and country is in motion. Addresses are going up or preparing from corporations, public bodies friendly societies, town councils, commercial associations, popular meetings, private unions. A bust of public sentiment so cor dial, unanimous, and electric, has never been witnessed in Scot- A feeling of delight, of positive exultation, pervades the commu nity from top to bottom—a few parchment voters and burgh-job bers, and a very few ultra-radicals, excepted. We would fill co lumns were we to notice the various meetings which have already been, or about to be held, to vote addresses to the King, and pe titions to Parliament on the subject. The universal expression i s , « With this we are completely satisfied ; and without this we never will."—Scofsnian. The most popular novels of the present season 1 ! are u nquestionably Mr. THEODORE HOOK'S Maxwell, Mr. BuLwEa's Paul Clifford, the Heiress of Bruges by Mr. Gitarrasz, and CoorEa's Water Witch. The first of these successful productions is remarkable for droll hu mour ; the sarcasm of Pad Clifford is aimed at the court of the late King and the present being introduced in its pages. Mr. GRATTAN'S romance is founded on a striking event in Flemish history; and the Water Witch of the great Transatlantic novelist has been characterised as the finest tale of the deep extant. The billows seem to be the native home of COOPER, and here lie cannot be approached even by his illustrious archetype, the author of Waverley . TIIF CITY COAL DUES.----Yesterday a de putation from the Common Council had an interview with Lord AUCKLAND, Mr. POWLETT THOMPSON, and Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS, for the purpose of discussing the merits of the Bill now in progress for reducing the tax on coals, which Bill contains clauses affecting the Corparation, and will deprive them of patronage, in the appointment of Meters, to the extent of 15,000/. annually. As may he supposed many of the members of the Corporation are dissatisfied with a Bill which will produce such effects. The Deputation were given to understand, that the meting system, and the tax by measure would be wholly abolished, and that a new duty of one shilling per ton would be imposed, of which eight pence is to be applied towards the expense of erecting London Bridge, three pence as an indemnity to the Corporation, and the re maining penny to form a fund, out of which the Meters and others, who will of necessity be discharged by the operation of the Bill, will receive pensions proportioned to the length of their services. Ebb • • 44A , t , *--7444t14. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1831. It gives us sincere satisfaction to be able to state Nat the reports respecting the surrender of Warsaw to the military adventurer DitEnerscH and his barba rians, have, as we suspected, turned out to be pre mature. By the latest express from Paris, which we have inserted from the Herald of this morning, it seems that the French Government has recived de , patches from Berlin, dated three o'clock, 4th instant, from which it appeals, that notwithstanding the indirect announcements made in the Chtttnber of Deputies by two of the Ministers, (MNI. LAFITTE and SEBASTIAN!) on Tuesday last, Warsaw had not, so late as the 28th ult., surrendered, or offered to surrender ; nor had Praga been burnt by the Russians. On the 26th, 27th, and 28th of February (on the night of which last-mentioned day the courier bringing the news left the Polish ca pital) severe fighting took place between the woods and Praga. The loss at each side was con siderable, the conflicts having been, like those of the 19th and 20th, most obstinate. On every occasion, however, the Russians were beaten hack into the woods. On the 27th the Polish Government addressed the inhabitants of Praga,announcing that "it had issued orders to destroy all the buildings in the vicinity of the Tete de Pont, in order to be enabled the better to bring into play the heavy artillery mounted on the Warsaw side of the Vistula, but assuring those who should suffer by that necessary sacrifice that they should, as quickly as possible, be indemnified out of the public purse." That order was accord ingly executed, and hence the report that the Russians had stormed and destroyed Praga. This is cheering news, and leads us to hope that the Poles may be able to protract the war, until circumstances arise which may promise them a final triumph. Should Austria go to war with Fraace—and symptoms look very threatening just at present—there can be little doubt that the Austrinn Provinces of Poland will join their patriotic countrymen. The Paris Papers give an interesting account of the mourning proces sion of the students of law and medicine to the house of General LAFAYETTE with an address of condolence to the Polish Deputiei, when it ‘i as believed that 'Warsaw had surrendered. The Pri vate Correspondent of the Herald mentions a re port that Marshal GERARD had left Paris post-haste on the night of the 9th for the Piedmontese frontier, to take the command of the French troops in that quarter : and that CAstmm PERRIER had relinquished the idea of forming a new Government. Our readers will perceive on reference to another column that the spirit of Reform is every where extending itself with a rapidity and with an energy perfectly unparalleled. In many parts of the country —especially in the northern districts—the people are literally frantic with joy at the idea of being released for ever from the interminable thraldom of the bo roughmongers. The corporations, too, of close bc roughs, have, in many instances, come forward to aid in the great work of deliverance with a spirit that reflects the highest credit on their dis interestedness and patriotism. In fact, from one end of the kingdom to the other, every indivi dual is active and anxious to second the mea sures of Government. There is no faltering--no hesitation now. The people see that they are on the eve of regaining their lost privileges, and that decision and unanimity are the two main requisites to enable them to achieve an honourable, bloodless, constitutional triumph. We regret that our very contracted limits will not allow us to give to the extent we could desire, and indeed their own im portance deserves, the very numerous and animated public meetings that have already taken place for the purpose of volunteering asssistance to Government. We shall not, however, overlook them, though they must necessarily suffer some curtailment. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S.
