Faction set itself to work there, as welt as in Scotland, and at icortliallerton,' to defeat the intended object, hy clamour and confusion; tint it was it elf defeated, though, we regret to say, not without thtl'isiistance of the military, it was a regularly organized. contrivance, arranged the day before at a pithlic Meeting converivdfor the purpose.-1:1pon this siitiject we have re re vto a letter • front .Harcourt'Lees, dated Saturday after ,„,„„, of w hi c h t h,,,lbllowing is an extract:— • have just.rettilated from the most' numerous and res-, peetable Meeting of NolileMen and Gentry of the County of ever Ussenitiled to!..(ettier, lot the purpose of assuring adeptly injured and venerated Sovereign, of their inviolable and most affectionate attachment to his august Person and th,.COostitutiou of the British Empire.

[Morning Herald.] • The state of the weather is extri me7y unfavourable to the antral of foreign circumstance particularly felt at V,is moment, svhen the .dcsiinies of 'Europe are so critically uncertain. :,otue..aectionts hat'e been received front Naples dattel a day later than those that came throti.o Paris.—Tran tgriilfitc had remained orkfiStorbea ; some ferment was, how ever, apprehended from the symptoms manifested by tire mul titude the iii . ;bl of the daY on Which this King departed. The new Ministers entered upon their otficeS with much papil ta y, and ha ve the entire ernifiletiCe titthe Parliament. The report of no alliantr,•fTensire acid defotsive, between Spain anti Naples is renewed. - One is certain, that itt Spain colutireers are raised openly for the.Neapolitari sefriee. Such an alliatiec would bia dvrin;:step for-the Sp.iiiii.h Miaistry— but, perhaps, not the less wise. It the Allies pi °Geed against Naples in the manner alifirebendtal,Spein in her actual state, cannot' be secure--and indeed is lictiadly, menaced and' de nounced by the Austrian Journals,, with the sutYrrance at le Jst of the Austriao Government.' One of the change , : ea r to tie proptised to the Kier. of Naples, even on the sup tata moderate'condtter tot the part of the !sovereign;, is the establishment of a Ittgialative Assembly of • 14oliiiity:— This is ittcOmrcatible with the S panish Constitution , and not at all relished by the 'Neapolitans.. It is - scarcely possible, that, with their experience they could • estimate 'the great Value of that institution.—Hitt just released frOm feudalism, they see, in an assembly of the Noblesse, nothing but feudal .privilege and opeession. The Italian Nobility, too, have . riot Le.highest reputation for worth, talent, or education , enter abroad or at home. [British Press.) • An 'event far more alarming in its nature eren than the 'neorrences at the memorable Meeting at Manchester, has ,b,reti perpetrated in the t'ity of Dublin. Military vio;ericf; tas been employed to interrupt the free deliberation of the Fs te , tinideri of-the Metropolitan County of Ireland, because it was possible that the result might hate proved distastefull to tiie persons 110 W in authority; a public Meeting assembled within the High Sheriff's Court was disperserl at the paint of the bayonet, and the Chairman, Lord Cloncurry, was di teen from his seat by the rude' bands of armed merit —We •must confess that we are extremely UnWillng-tri suffer the free ex' pressian of •our feelings upon this dreadful outrage,. which cannot he defended, as •in the case of the .iffair . ot Manche- ter, even by the pretence of political expediency, or the ap., prehension of individuals that the pubiic peace was endan , gered. At Manchester there were immense bodies of men marshalled, as it was said, in unitary order-men who had been drilled for some days to make a more impressive dis plop—who were preceded.in their march by Most traitorous music, and were accompanied by ..most inflammatory stand, ards ; but in Dublin there was no drilling, no marshallior, of men in military order, no musio, ,no flags; the Meeting in Manchester was held in the open air, and consisted of many thousand persons; the Meeting in Dublin was held within tit Court HOnse'; consisted of Freeholders' of the County, and.was of course loo;teet by the spaceof the Court. We hOtor that as yet there-is no Sheriff.or other Magist rate in England wim would bare dared to disperse such an'.assembly by armed force; hut' should th'e occurrence in Dolititi be suf fered to pass unnoticed, we shall look upon it as the liar tzinger of evil days to this portion of the empire, and a • tearful assurance that the s3stem of military tenor established in Ireland by the present Ministry n tinder the like auspices, .contront at no distant perk/4'llre destinies of England. The meeting was, it sethris; on eivally coiled by the Hie!) Sheriff of the County of Dub lin. Sir Iliehard Steele, on the requisition of suit*/ lftr , `-tos wleo were anxious tit testify their exclusive loyalty at the ex prose of .the fair fame and character of their fedlow subjects. The meeting purported to be public;' brit the High Sheriff honestly and coostitut took rate, by the distribution of constables, and other obvious means, to exclude as many of the freeholders as he could ascertain to tie actnatril hr independent principles. In the execetion of their duty, it •seems that the ClW•ltablescoaint!itv u Some eeree-ious blon des-sr; (Or, upon the . altpearance of some symptom , of orp.si tion, lo.swg conemandedoo exclude 'pers6Os o f a eettaiu I,s te . in poPtics, they unhappily thought it -afi'r -t s Ciuse tt1C , N ,,, 0 .. 11 .4tget her—and so strictly did they observe tteir own rut, , in. this respect, that Judge Day, Lord Frani:fort, Lord Nowt)) (the intended mover of the Addres , ), Mr; H.-Hamithor, win of the Members for the comity, ant soilie other d 3 n~ ere ati were compelled to creep', in throneb n•iiidoW !---Lord nowt!) haring effected his entrance, .propreted his A!- dress to the 'Ministers, oni:er the tlrWle Of all Address to the king. An Amendment ,no:less t rule lovatin its nature, hot less ministerial, was proposed by Mr. il.‘rne, C"ltits , l, but the Sheriff declared that he did not attend to hear speeches, and would permit no discussion whatever. The excellent •Knight declared of his owl; aathitriq and upon his honour (yet by Tottelestime's ' logic was he not for-merit), that the original , Address was -carried, aye, 10Q to I, and then prooounced the meeting to ebe dissolved. Indignation intlaared the Assembly ; the, voted Lord Cloncurry into the Chair, and were pro everting to Ili , cu.cfrs the Address and the Ainerulmeot ei-thio the limits of the County Court, when, a ttody 'of soldiers eras sent into the Hall, and 4.1i , p;-rscd the meet jog at the point of the bayonet. Why should- Sir R i chard Steele be to listen to speeches when lie had bayonets at his command ? What arguments could be more conrinc jog ? Bayonets are good practical reasoning, is hich W. theories, however wild, eau possibly resist.' It ,was an excel lent jerk! for Louis XIV. to stamp upon his cannon the words " Ultima ratio Recum," but the amintinns King who appeal eel to Ids artillery in the last resort, was far exceeded by Sir Richard Steele, who brings his bayonets into action on the very first oppOttimity. This, howevery is butts continuance , of the old system under which Ireland has too long laboured, hut which it was earnestly hoped should hare closed. With the Legislative .Union. Ireland has long been amused with the semblance cf the Enf,ligh constitution, and her people have often been taunted most unjustly with not having turned this blessing of freedoms to the same account that it has prod iced aiming us. There is an extraordinary %hulk' itylie!Averrs the present circomstances of this country and tlnisc at Ireland previous to the overthrow of her independent I.,gis!attirr, ;ma it rests with the people to consider li,w far such an un happy coincidence might have been effected by the presence of's,,ord Castlereagh in the Cabinet. The advocate a , ol Promoter of a Military Government' in Ireland cannot be a safe Minister for the Constitutional Monarch of Cireat 3ritain. [The Public Ledger.] It is said that sume difference of opinion e7isted be tween the Eart of Liverpool and Lord Castlereagh, upo'filht; subjectof appointing a successor to Mr. Canning. The former wished the Board of Controullo be given to Mr, l lel, and the latter was desirous that it shotrA be conferred on Mr. RobisiSiin. The qtresion, it is believed, is set at rest by Mr. Peel's refusing to take the otbce, and Mr. Robinson will. therefore,.be Mr. Canning's successor. It is rumoured, but Less confidently, that Mr. Arbuthnot will retire, and that Mr. lltishisson will take his pliice, as Secretary to tire Treasdry.— Sliould these reports prove correct, the Treasurership of the Navy and the Surveyor Generalship of Woods and Forests, now held by Mr. Robinson and Mr..Hirshisstm, will be at the disposal of Ministers. • The following is an extract of a Letter, dated the 2.14 from Anwerdam T.—" Messrs. Elope and Co. the Ilatiliers, re ceived a Message last night from,the Minister of Finance in announcing the amount of one year's - interest on the debt due from Spain to the Dutch creditors. Although this Nlinater can givg no definitive , explanation of the Decree of the Cortes relatirelo•this debt, the funds will be lodged at Amsterdam, waiting their decision. In consequence of this news, the r')//ligations and the . coupons of November, 1820, have experienced a rise. The runner are at 59i—the others at 35 francs.''—(lbid.) "• [The Times.] • There have been no arrivals fro►h Italy, since our last, through any . public channel. Private i►r'clligence however states, that the Parliament,, whose aversion to the King's journey was as , manifest as it was unwilling, hurr►ed over by permanent'sittings the necessary modificAions of the Sptini;h Constitution, and presented• the result of their labours to his Ntijesty, that he ,ts►iglt formally sign them befo►e his de parture for Leghorn. This important act was executed by the Kinir on The evening of the Hitt December, twenty-four hours before he sailed. • We should be truly glad if we could allow our readers and ourselves a respite from the never-varying subjects of ultra loyalty manoeuvres, and the Queen's treatment; but some thiolx,new continually rises up requiring exposnre and for bidding silence: A ITlCetillZ of the county of Dublin took place on Saturday last at Kilmainhani ; and a hare perusal of- the proceedings, which we have. inserted, will almost su persede the necessity of any remark from us on the 'disgrace till conduct of, -men who are loud in avowal's of attach ment to the Constitution, and 'yet foremnst in the violation of its first principles. On a motion for an amended ad dress made by Mr. Borne, the Sheriff put the question no the original address, and . declared it to be carried, though there:Were one,hqudred to one against it. This ultra method of procuring nrearim - ms resolutions was only equalled brthe subsequent one of dissolving the Meeting. Lord Cloncurry was then called hi the chair, and the amer-ded Address wet , again proposed—warCri an armed force burst iti, and literally drove the Members who composed the meeting oileof the Court House. Even after this outrage the amended Ad dress was immediately voted , in front of the Court House, and the meeting quietly dispersed.—There was a most respectable meeting held yeSterday at Lambeth, for the porpose of cougrattilatiog tl:e Queen, addressing the Kin;{, and petitioning the House of Commons. It apirearit from the speech of Mr. Scbultes—to our report of which we refer the Reader—that the act of striking her Mrtn . jetty's'"name nut of - the Liturgy will shortly • become cogniza ble before a jury of Englishinen; such au intention had been hinted at some time ago, and we are glad to find it true. AVe shall not repeat out former arguments on this subject, or quote the regal authorities advaueed by this 'gentleman in support 'of his opinion, that every clergyman who so omits her Majes ty's name is liable to a'prosecution : but We cannot forbear to -remark how touch dissension and bickering would have been peeeentee. if Nlinisters, when t hey-withdrew the Bill of Pains and Penalties, bad instantly con - ceded this point to jus tice, and the wishes of the whole nation, instead of leaving it to be wicSted from them as we are confident it will lie—by a process at law or the more expeditious interference of Par liatnent.—(//rid.). [New Times.] The latest accounts 'from Naples are -of the 14th ultimo, at which time all remained qttiet; but the revidutioriary party wera in a state of great and deserved 'anxiety. The a ttempt of these met) to seize on the Sovereignty, and 'keep their icing as a, puppet in their hands has so far failedi that the old Monarch has been personally withdrawn from their power. It is not very •improbable that in-his ab sence a Counter-Revolution may he effected ; and if so, we trust, that the Allies will insist en the re-establish ment of the liberties and franchises of the People, on their ancient footing, adapted only to the necessary chabges rn the ~ nrogress rirtit'llinti - on, • As to the neit and proendeil Constitutions which-the ltrvolutionists every Where set np, they are as hostile to true Liberty, as their establish ment is to the general peace and iirtlet of the world.

I-reds Intellig-encer, January 3, 1820. Such was the exhortation winch we felt it•tothe-our duty to make to the trite patrlutsuf Albion, at the commencement of IS2O ; and, it is not less necessary nosy, that we are again enteiing upon a new year," to call upon them, to " for get minor differences, and rally round the Constitution."— That " evil spirit.," the existence of which we then:defilers e d, i s still actively at work ; that " seditious and blasphe mous press" is still inttustrinasly emptoy-ed in dis'seniinating its poison around ;' anti on the . " firmness, nfranntaity and ac tivity" of " the friends of established. drder," the-salvation of our beloved country depends. Whoever reflecti upon the events which e occurred in the last year,' must be convinced, that nothing- but ' such. "firmness, unanimity, and activity" can preserve Old Eng land (rent partaking of those civil corrinititions; which hare unhappily been so pteralent in other . vitintr'esi but which a merciful i , rovidenee, has hitherto averted from this favoured land. That " desperate faction," which, is 180, " set at defiance the. laws; defamed the eovernmenti' and aspersed, by slander and ealuMny, every virthousamt good man in the kingdom," is not yet subdued. Its conduct. in 1820, has heen stilt more opposed to every law, divine and human, than even in the year preceding. Plots of Treason aud Assassination, with actual anti 'open Rebellion, have' marked its career and good men have wept - ever the follies and the crimes which have been committed in our country. under the name of libertyl Linder the invigorating influence of its excellent constitu tion, England is now rapidly emerging from that state °item porary depression, to which causes, that have been already sudiinently elucidated, had reduced it. Trade is • reviving.; employment, although not at high wages, is much more shun. dart ; and the low price of every necessary of life, renders the labourer very nearly equal in point of situation, to wlnit was, when high prices and high wages were the order of the day. The revenue is, a l so , i n a s t a te o f progressive improve ment; and,if our factious and discontented politicians would but desist from 1 heir unnathral employment ; if the seditious press, would " rest from its labours,' and " he at. peace ;" wernight calculate upon a long and brilliant career of National pros perity. Unfortunately such is not the case. Time has neither softened the malignity, nor altated the perseverance, of the Radical faction; it still persists in its attacks upon " the Al tar and the Throne," and, aided be the base and degenerate Whigs, it still hopes to triumph over the men who' have pre served their country from ruin; and rescued Enrope front the domination of the greatest tyrant that ever disgraced a throne. It is, however, gratifying to reflect, that the old year will and the new one be ushered. in, with demonstrations of true old English feeling, in th e di•claratious of loyalty and attachment to the King and the Constitution, which are daily issuing from bodies of me•n the most easinent for worth, sir tae, and property, in their respective districts.• The violence of the Radical and Wing Factions ; their infamous attackS on the Sovereign ; their contempt of truth, and disregard of even common decency, during the late inrestigation, .have aroused the spirit of loyalty, which they. foolishly imagined, if not extinct, would be overawed by their numbers, and de ferred front any open expression of disapprobation. We re- - joier, that they have beets mistaken ; we rejoice, that co many gallant Englishmen have proved themselves no unworthy partakers o f the blessings of our excellent Constitution ; and we anticipate, from their noble conduct, the best results to the interests and welfare of our country. It would indeed have heels a shame, if the land, which, single handed, eon tended with " a world in arms;" whose .spirit aurtuated time brave inhabitants of the Continent, when they threw off the yoke, which the " child and chamvion of JacobiniFfn," (the darling of our Radical Whigs, and Whig Radicals,) bad im posed upon them; anti whose brave troops rescued Spain and . Portugal from slavery—it would indeed have - been a shame, had this land succumbed to a faction; composed of the very lowest of her population, headed by a few desperate indivi dUals, Of doubtful character, and whose principles ate sti!l' more donhtful; even though they are sanctioned be the " ap proving smiles" of the aristocratic wings --That.shatne is not • ours. The genniime feeling of the British people, is evinced to be ea the side of time constitution; and we hope that the diseothfiture of the radical designs in 1821,' will be as complete as it has beets heretofore. This " consummation so devoutly Le be wished," we must however again repeat, can only be obtained, by the ".fittn, - ne?3, 'tit ! tittfln unity,. and lite act i vit y," of the di3Posed of the community. Havin,g signed ‘these declimtiona of loyalty, they must not conclude that they hare done their duty ; they must, by their' influence and example, endeavOur to counteract the effects of those excitements to discontent, which arc so assidinrusly placed ut the way Of the poor and igl otant.
