SAMUEL CHARLES WHITBREAD, Chairman. gA Attt. 1 ' • • . 4 V 7 AS" A l ft) elli*P . . etc - to - LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1832. The Russian Ambassador is said, we know not how truly, to be still actively engaged in attempting to induce the King of HoL LAND to consent to some arrangement which would render coercive measures unneces sary. We understand, however, that up to the present time the Dutch King has not shown the slightest disposition towards concession. We are happy to state that the official ac counts from Oporto, received at the Portuguese Embassy, are cheering in a high degree. The army of Don PEDRO has been augmented to 18,000 men, and the city is so well fortified that 50,000 men could not take it. Our gallant countryman, Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE, has been most graciously received by the EMPEROR, and is, according to the last letters, busy in organizing his Irish Legion. 'We subjoin two letters from Oporto which will be read with in terest, for one of them we are indebted to a friend, who received it from a British officer of high rank, who arrived at Oporto a few days after Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE:— OroßTo, Nov. I.—We were all delighted, Portu guese as well as British, with the reception experienced by our old brother officer Sir John Milley Doyle, who had, on his arrival a salute of 17 guns from the Portuguese frigate; and on landing, the same compliment from the batteries on shore—after which he was graciously received and kindly welcomed by the Emperor, the Marquis of Palmella, and Count Villa Flor, the Commander-in• Chief. He afterwards had the honour cf being invited by his Majesty to accompany him in a tour round the bat teries, with the strength of which Sir John Milley Doyle Was agreeably surprized, and he observed that he did not think the enemy could make any impression upon Oporto, fortified as it is. I was, for my own part, equally asto nished at the strength of the place, and more particularly at the enthusiasm, not only of the troops, but of the in. habitants also. Deserters are constantly coming in— never less than eight per day, and the day before the rival of the packet, twenty-five of the 19th came over in a body. Whilst Pedro was visiting the lines, within half musket shot of the enemy's out-posts, two of 111iguel's men jumped across their works and ran over to him. It is but fair to say that though the foreign corps has suffered considerably from being more exposed, the Portuguese troops have sustained their comrades with the greatest gallantry and success. The Emperor's force is augmenting, and, from all I learn, if attacked to-morrow, he could bring 18,000 men into th e field. The Pedroites are well clothed, clean, and or derly, and have plenty to eat and drink; in tact they are in want of nothing. A curious circumstance occurred last night. Four young Englishmen went to sup at a Coffee-house, where they fell in with a Por tuguese in a soldier's uniform, who addressed them in pretty good English, told them every thing he knew about the army, drank their healths, and wished them a good night. Some time after his departure they called for their bill, and were astonished to find that it had been discharged by this soldier, whom they have never since been able to find out. (From an officer of rank in the Portuguese army.) " We arrived on the 29th (morning) off Oporto, but tee could not go up the Douro, by reason of the firing from the Villa Nova side of the river. We landed, there fore, at St. Joa de Foe, about three miles the nearest way from Oporto; but as the river is narrow at parts, there is a constant fire kept up from the Miguelite shore, and we were obliged to go round about six miles: and after a sandy and very fatiguing walk, we arrived in Oporto a about six o'clock, r. al. We had in all nine, and we armed our selves on landing in case of fallingin with the'Miguelite Gue rillas, who the night before had advanced upon the Foz, and had that morning carried from the environs all the hay and corn. As soon as I arrived, and before going any where, or doing anything else, I delivered my hag of despatches to M. Paltnella. We were all dusty, tired, fagged, and out of order; but I went from M. Palmella's to the Emperor direct, just as above, dingy, dirty, and unwashed, with a brace of pistols in my belt, and a beard half an inch long. I was immediately admitted. He was surrounded by his Court, all military. A fine look ing man, and the promptitude of his decision coupled with his high bearing, reminded me of what I had read of the like in Napoleon's time. I was indeed much pleased, and the next day I had a second interview, when I re mained with his Imperial M.j,sty upwards of three quar ters of an hour. He appeared evidently pleased with my pro jected plan of operations, and at taking leave thanked me for the interest I evinced in the cause of his daughter, and tendered me his hand. I knelt to kiss it, and he at tempted to draw it away as though he could wave that state ceremony, but I was too quick for him. Upon the whole he is a man whose character is worn upon his brow, and his demeanour generally of that high, not haughty bearing, that mu-t command from every one both admira tion and esteem. I declare I could give him the last drop of my heart's blood, and for energy, decision, and indefati gable exertions, he is a second Napoleon. We are very strong here; Miguel might as well attempt to take high heaven as Oporto. Deserters daily arriving—our troops ail en thusiastic—remarkably well together, and, to a man, de voted to the cause of liberty, and his Imperial Majesty— upwards of 300 French came in yesterday-500 English the day before-800 more daily expected, besides cavalry. So that affairs must certainly he brought soon to a favour able termination, and then Viva Donna Maria' shall be our war cry over a bottle of champagne." It appears by authentic accounts from Paris that the French Government had discovered the retreat of the Duchess de BERRI a fortnight be fore she was arrested, and had enabled her friends to apprize her of her danger, so that she might leave France in time to prevent arrest. Her obstinacy, however, was unconquerable, and the Government was forced to act. It is impossible yet to form an idea of the fate which awaits the Duchess from the Chamber of Depu ties, as there is not a sufficient number of Deputies in Paris to enable the Government to ascertain the views of the majority. The Chamber of Peers is inclined to be lenient, but if the Duchess should even he condemned to death, the KING will have the power of commuting the sentence to imprison ment or banishment. He will probably prefer the latter, provided any of the Holy Alliance, friends of the Duchess, will become guarantees for her future good conduct. We understand that the Queen of SPAIN has applied to the Court of France for a promise of assistance in the event of an attempt being made by the Carlists to create an insurrection in their favour. It is probable, we think, that the request will be complied with. Frankfort Papers received to-day contain an order of the Court of Vienna prohibiting Austrian vessels from taking any part in the war between the Porte and the Paella of EGYPT. This order, which appears rather late in the season, may be attributed to the recent application of the SULTAN for the mediation of the European Powers, especially England and France : TRIESTE, OCTOBER. —The Austrian Government has issued the following article:— " Considering the state of hostility of Egypt with the Ottoman Porte, Austrian captains of ships are warned, 1. To abstain from the importation of arms and ammuni tion into Egypt till the insurrection now existing shall have ceased. 2. During the present war against the Porte, neither to take any freight on Egyptian account, nor to afford the Egyptian party any assistance whatso ever. 3. Not to put into any seaport which is actually blockaded by either of the contending parties ; otherwise they will have to blame themselves for the melancholy consequences of their illegal conduct." (From the Ottoman Moniteur.) CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 1 1. —Orders have been received at the marine arsenal to fit out with all possible expedi tion the ships of the line and frigates which have been for some time dismantled. The illesadije, a three-decker, is accordingly arrived, and the Hifii Rahman frigate, which was still in the new basin, and wanted but slight repairs, has been launched. The workmen in the arsenal are making great efforts to get ready the remaining ships of the line, as well as the cutters, 20 in number, which have been built in ether parts of the empire, and have successively arrived at Constantinople. VIENNA, Nor. l.—Yesterday and to-day our funds have risen, and those who speculated on a farther decline, have been disappo;nted. It is affirmed to-day that the King of Holland has become sensible of his critical situa tion, and prefers subscribing to the last proposals of the Conference. Leave has been asked and granted, for the Bavarian troops, that go to Greece with the young King Otho and the Regency, to march through the Austrian territory. They are to embark at Venice, for which purpose all the necessary prep irations are made, and ships hired. . . Is is said that Duke Charles of Brunswick will be placed under the care of guardians ; but it is not at present known where be now is, as he secretly quitted his attend ants, and has not since made any communication to them. VIENNA, Nov. 2.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 87 7-16 ; Four per Cents., 76 ; Bank Shares, 1,146 1-5. Allgemeine Zeitung, Nov. 6. MUNICH, Nov. 3.—The departure of the King of Greece is appointed for the 15th instant. Her Majesty the Queen, in kind consideration of the health of the per sons composing the expedition, is said to have suggested that physicians, recommended by the professors of our university, shall accompany them to Greece. WA RZBIJRG, Nov. 4.—lnstead of Major T. Von Stetten, of the 3d Regiment of Light-horse, who was first ap pointed to the division of cavalry going to Greece, will be under the command of Prince Edward, of Saxe Alten burg, Lieut. in the 2d Regiment of Light-horse, and bro ther of her Majesty the Queen. The 24 battalion of the 12th Regiment, which makes part of the expedition to Greece, has already left Warz burg to proceed to its destination. The re-organization of the University of Freiburg (Grand Duchy of Baden) is completed. Professors Welcker and Rotteck are pensioned off.—Frankfort Papers, Nov. 6. Private accounts from Madrid mention that M. CALOMARDE and the Archbishop of LEON had set out, under a strong escort, for Port Mahon on the 31st of October, having been exiled to that place by order of King FER DINAND. It would appear, however, that the apostolical plot against the KING, or rather against his daughter's succession, had rather ex tensive ramifications, for, on the report of FER DINAND'S demise, M. EYMERIE, tl►e Go.• vernor of Majorca, had proclaimed Don CARLOS King in that island. The Count d'ESPAGNE, Governor-General of Catalonia, had embarked to re-establish the authority of FER DINAND in the Balearic Islands. It was current in the Spanish capital that M. ZEA BERMUDEZ had refused the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs, and that M. MARTINEZ ROSA would be named i► his place. The Count OFALIA, the present Ambassador from Spain to the Court of France, would, it was believed, replace M. BERMUDEZ, as Ambassador to England, and the Duke of SAN FERNANDO be the new Spanish Ambassador to Louis PHILIP. It was generally understood the convocation of the Cortes had been agreed to in Council, and that they would meet on the Ist of December next. The accounts from Smyrna reach to the sth ult., and furnish us with no political news. The fair of Balukesar had been well attended ; and large sales, principally of drape►ies and manu factures, had been made. A larger quantity of figs had arrived from the interior than for many years, and the buyers had been more numerous than usual. The finest qualities were quoted at 355. to 50s. per quintal, and inferior 255. The price of raisins was fixed at 58s. for Vonila, 60s. for Chisone, and 130 s. for Subtanives. We have letters from Abo to the 9th Oct. inclusive. The sanatory state of Finland was excellent. It was expected the exemption of duty of entry on grain imported into Eastern Bothnia would be extended to June 1, 1833. We have advises from Barbadoes to the 24th of September. Some alarm had been created there, in consequence of a report that a man had died of cholera on board the brig Mims, arrived from Savannah. The harbour master's report had, however, dissipated the alarm, as it was ascertained that during the voyage the Mate had died of a fever, and that the seaman in question had been attacked by some chronic disorder. The vessel had, however, been placed under qua rantine. The House of Assembly had passed a short Bill, giving power to the Commander in-Chief to make such quarantine regulations as he deemed fit, and to draw upo❑ the Treasury to the amount of 2001. The Bill was to ccn thine three months. WAR WITH HOLLAND. A meeting of the merchants, shipowners, and others, anxious for the preservation of the pacific relations between this country and Holland, was held this day at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of addressing his Majesty upon that subject. The requisition calling the meeting was signed,by a great many of the leading merchants of the city, and among those present at the meeting were Sir Thomas Baring, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. May, the Consul, Mr. Richard Thornton, Mr. Raikes, Mr. Heath, jun., Mr. Ward, Mr. John Ray Reid, &c. &c. THOMAS WILSON, Esq., took the Ch-ir shortly after one o'clock. The CHAIRMAN apologized for undertaking an office which he felt himself ill qualified to perform, but having been called upon by such a numerous and respectable requisition, he should be unworthy the name rf a British merchant if he had hesitated to comply with their wishes.—(Hear.) The appeal to him, he was aware, had arisen purely from accident. The advertisement in the papers had explained for what purpose the meeting had been called ; it was in consequence of the unfortunate situation of the trade with Holland, and of the offensive operations now employed against that country; and it was in the hope of staying those proceedings, or, if it were too late to do that, to make known to his Majesty, to his Minis ters, and to the country, what the feelings of the citizens of London were upon this momentous occasion.— (Cheers.) He wished to observe that this question was not brought forward from party motives, and with a view to opposition ; nothing was further from the object of the requisitionists—(Hear)—and, therefore, he hoped that nothing like vindictiveness or party feeling would be shown upon this occasion. It was impossible, coming forward on such a subject, not to feel some degree of excitation in treating it as a national question; but he hoped that the m eeting would consider that, while they wished to represent what was such a national calamity, they would de it with moderation, but firmness. The accident which ruled him to the chair was this :—Having had accidentally in this room to propose a candidate for the City, in talking of the sufferings of trade, he incidentally said, " And who can say to what sufferings our trade was not liable to he exposed by the present proceedings against Hollan.1:?" Those words excited such a feeling, and such a sympathy, that it was determined to convene the present meeting, and he was, therefore, selected to preside at it.—(Hear, hear.) The Honourable Gentleman then detailed the various inducements for individuals of all parties to agree to the resolutions which would he submitted to the meeting. The inducements were first to those whose property and prospects were placed in jeopardy by the present detention of ships ; secondly, by those who think that nothing had been done by Holland to justify the aggression by England ; and, thirdly, those who felt that England had nothing to gain, but every thing to lose by the, reduction of Holland, while France had every thing to gain by it.—(Cheers.) In the latter he most entirely concurred, and to show that his opinion was not a solitary one, he would read a passage from one of those organs of communication to which the public were in clined to look for information. He then read a passage from the letter of 0. P. Q. in the Morning Chronicle of September 28, wherein the writer predicted that the question between England and Holland would close by Belgium being one day united to France. —(Hear, hear.) It was impossible for any thing serious to happen to Holland without at the same time weakening our own power. That country was bound to us by sym pathy—by natural ties, and by a similarity of man ners, and, therefore, it was unwise and unjust to weaken them, and turn them into an enemy.—(Cheers.) Sir T. BARING-Gentlemen, I must ask your indul gence for a few moments, before I propose for your adoption a motion I have in my hand, and I crave that the more, because it is the first time I have ever found myself in a situation like this, or that I have ever addressed a public meeting. I come forward 'Ol no party man, and I consider this as no party meeting. I consider it as invoked for no party purpose, nor is it an attempt by any side-wind to attack the policy of Ministers either foreign, general, or domestic. I am not one of those who would attack in a place like this the foreign policy of Government. It is best to leave that for Parliamentary discussion—hut in the absence of Par liament, what are we to do?—(Cheers.) During the last two years when any questions were put to the progress of of negotiation,, they were answered by Ministers, that the negotiations were in progress, that the interference would he negotiations, and would in no event come to hostilities. It is true that no direct motion has been made as to Bel gium, because that was left to Ministers who entered the Cabinet with express pledges of non-intervention (Cheers.) But where are we? When this Order of Coun cil was issued for an embargo on the Dutch ports, and to prevent the sinking of British ships, why was Parlia ment prorogued to December, with the knowledge that it could by no means meet till the end of January? During that time commerce is left to uncertainty, and each mer chant to inquire of the other, what has Holland done ? Has she violated treaties ? Has she attacked English pro perty, or put an embargo on English ships ? Has she dishonoured the national faith ? Allow me to remind you what Holland has done. The government of Holland, since the revolution in Belgium, has diminished on the staple article of England, its duties on cot ton gorses, on iron, and on coals, and established to us a public advantage. Now, by what reciprocity do we meet that? By an embar go on their ships.— (Loud cheers.) Let me say it is not that thus we are doing a mischief to Holland, but we are greatly injuring ourselves. It was only yesterday that a merchant of exten sive business in the City, menti one d th a t two of his ships were prevented sailing from Holland, and by that means be was put to serious inconveniences. Let me mention that, during the absence of Parliament, Ministers may have good reasons for acting as they do, but they have no or gan of communication ; they acknowledge no newspaper, and I will do them the justice to say, that it is not the flimsy sophistry that has appeared in some newspapers, that can ever justify their aggressions, but if they have reasons for their attack on Holland, those mast ) " will be more substantial than the reasons and gros s utch p insults eopl —( w l e i e h e r s .) have v e Well offered to the then, there is no organ by which m eans , i n t h e a b sence of Parl i amen t, we are to be told, why w e are p l ace d i n th i s deplora bl e situa tion. It is said by some, t h at i t i s for the British i ntere sts we are now making war—as k our under-writers whether D at the time when premiums on insurances were rising every day, not merely on Dutch but on every other exports—whether they think it better for 119 that this country should go to war ? Ask the dealers in cotton and iron, whether it is better we should go to war. Ask those who will have to support a war— a war iniquitous in principle, and for no British in terest, whether they think this measure calculated in any way for their benefit ! But then we are told that though it may produce a moment try stagnation of trade, though it may produce temporary evils, yet that it is a great object to have the opening of the navigation of the Scheldt. Now, if it is considered as a great object, it is nothing hut opening another door to the same place which has heretofore been opened to us by Amsterdam, the Rhine, and other places. If it be said that it is opening a trade to Belgium, what is Belgium to take from us? Belgium is a great country—it has its own iron and coal—and there certainly will he no Government so unpopular as Leopold's will be in Belgium, if he does not protect his own subjects against I th e competition of the English market. It may be a Belgian question ; but what is there in it that calls on us to fight for Belgium rather than for Holland ? Yes, but it is said, we must make Belgium a kingdom. But has it ever been a king. dom ? HAS it any ancient rights to maintain ? Granting that it were a kingdom, it is only fighting to strengthen France as against ourselves, and not as against Holland.—(Cheers and hisses.) At the very moment we are requiring that the Dutch should yield to French arms—(Renewed hissings)—we are rendering Belgium weak against her mighty neighbours, whilst we are making her strong against a feeble one. And yet all this is for British interest ! But then we are told again that we must make war. For what reason ? Why, to prevent wae. I profess I am not Irishman enough to understand this. I don't wish to say any thing disrespectful of my countrymen of the Sister Isle, but I do think, if it were not a dangerous speculation we are called on to enter into, this would prove to be the most absurd bull that ever was committed. We are now to make war to prevent war, which we have been trying to avoid for the last three years. It is said it will be a short one. But the ques tion is, will it be a just one ? And who can say, when once the torch is applied, that it will not occasion a most extensive combustion? Again, it is said, this is a question which has troubled us a long time, and now you must settle it. But are you sure to settle it? Grant that you take Antwerp ! I believe the French are bound to evacuate Belgium, and leave Antwerp in the possession of Leopold—is the question of the Scheldt settled by the possession of Antwerp ? Does not Holland still re tain the entrance to the Scheldt? And if it should oppose an objection to such entry, does the possession of Antwerp settle that question ? By the possession of Antwerp you do not settle that question —you do not settle the tolls, nor do you settle the debt, for Holland is threatened with a diminution of the debt— you settle nothing—you inflict a dishonour on Holland, and put Antwerp into the hands of the Bel. gians. But it is said, if you do not make war now and settle the question at once, it may occasion a general war on the continent. I confess when I see three Powers not prepared at present to coincide with us, it is an important question for me to ask, whether, after the taking of Antwerp, those three Powers will then be more prepared to coincide with us ? After the taking of Antwerp you may be obliged to march your troops into Holland. You cannot compel them to accede to your wishes by your protocols; you must do so by force of your troops. Holland may shut the Scheldt against you, how are you to act then, except by coercion of Holland? And I do be lieve that we should he much more likely to get to a war with France on that very point, than on any other question.—(Hiesings, a cry of " Non sense," and cheers.) But has there been any particular grievance occ isioned to us by Holland ? Have our vessels been stopped ? our tolls increased ? Nothing of the sort On the contrary, the Dutch Government has proposed to conciliate in a way that ought to be satisfactory. As to the conduct of our Ministers, I consider that Earl Grey was put into office to correct the errors of the Duke of Wellington, and not to follow them. But, I ask, did the Duke of Wellington ever speak of coercion ? On referring to the speech of the Duke of Wellington of the 2d Nov., immediately after the first revolution in Belgium, I find that the Duke of Wellington positively as , ured the country, that there was no intention on the part of his Majesty's Government to interfere by arms, with respect to any question with the Netherlands, and that the desire was to settle disputes by negotiation, and negotiation alone. Earl Grey on the same occasion declared, " We cannot understand that we are bound to interfere in any arrangement of a local nature between Holland and the Low Country." This took place on the 2d of November, scarcely a fort night before that Noble Earl took office. Now, Gentle men, if I am to choose between the words of Lord Grey in 1830 and his acts in 1832, positively interfering by sending an armed force, I should certainly prefer his words in 1830. But it may be said this was only the private opinion of Earl Grey, and that in forming a Cabinet he was obliged to yield in some points; but, added to this, I find Lord Althorp, in the House of Commons, follow ing the same course and adopting the same expressions in substance. So also Lord Brougham in the House of Lords; and I feel great pleasure in quoting the senti ments of so good and so excellent a man. He stated, Gentle men, that he regarded it as the duty of the Crown and the Ministers to preserve peace for the people of this country, and not to interfere with other nations.—(Cheers.) Have Ministers, Gentlemen, performed that duty ? Have they pre served to the people of this country the blessings of peace 2.—(Loud cries of " Yes, yes," and " No, no.") This country could hardly be at peace when it was open to the reprisals of Holland, and when Holland can send out its letters of marque and interrupt our trade. What was the expression, too, of the Marquis of Lansdowne when speaking of the Treaty of Vienna ? Why that Noble Lord had stated that he could not find in that treaty the shadow or the shade of anything that imposed upon this country any necessity to interfere on behalf of the Netherlands. He thought, therefore, that no other course could be adopted by the Government than a total absence from all interference. Are these, Gentlemen, words that are to be uttered to-day, and to be revoked to-morrow ? Is it the policy of his Maj sty's Ministers to turn, and turn, and turn again ?—(Loud cheering.) It is said that Govern ment could not do any thing else—that things had come to such a pitch that it wag essential for this country to interfere. I think, Gentlemen, that it is pretty clear that no such interference was necessary, and. it is equally as clear that it will be attended with the worst effects. There is some mystery, Gentle men, depend upon it, about all this. There is something in the negotiations which we cannot unravel, but which it will be advisable for Parliament to take into its consi deration. What could have induced his Majesty's Minis ters to have adopted the course they have, I cannot tell. It has been said by some that they are determined to go to war on account of the great surplus in the reve nue.—(Great laughter, and loud cries of Question, ques tion.) Mr. Baring here expressed his readiness to sit down if the meeting wished it—but cries of Go on, go on, from all parts of the room, induced him to proceed. If it was surplus revenue that induced Ministers to adopt such a course, I think they have acted very much like schoolboys, who, as soon as they get a little money, feel anxious to spend it in squibs and crackers for the purpose of frightening their neighbours.—(Cries of " Question," and " Come to the point.") I see no interest connected with this country or its commerce that Holland has threatened, and why, therefore, are we to wage a war against her ? The carrying on of such a war can have no other object than the support of a ricketty throne in Bel gium, or a tottering Administration in France.—(Loud cheering.) I trust, Gentlemen, that the mail which leaves this city to-night for Holland will carry with it the sympa thy of the British nation by which that country will be en abled to see that the generality of the people here do not approve of the course adopted by its Go vernment. Upon whom, Gentlemen, are we making war ? Not upon an encroaching neighbour.--e(" No, but a monopolizing one." Laught e r.)—Not upon a neighbour who had been hostile to civil and religious liherty—not upon a neighbour who had opposed civilization, for no one could doubt that, among the brightest ornaments of this nation, was that part of its history where it appeared to be so closely allied with Holland.—( Tre mendous uproar, and cries of " No war," " No Whigs.") I hope, Gentlemen, the war which has been threatened will not take place, as I am confident that it will end in no honour or profit to this country ; and I most fervently hope and trust that the sentiments of the pre sent meeting will be echoed through the country, and that addresses from every part of it will be sent to the Throne, calling upon his Majesty for the good of his country . to avert the ca l am i ty i n w hi c h so una d v i se d a s t e p will in volve us. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing the following resolution : " That this meeting has seen with deep concern and ala rm - ---(Laughter)—the appointment of a squadron of Briti s h s hi ps of war avowedly intende d to co-operate with the French force against Holland, end the Order in Coun cil to detain all ships belonging to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands in the ports of this country, as well as all persons on board of them." Mr. MITCHELL seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution to the Meeting, when an immense show of hands were held up in its favour, and about forty or fifty against it. The resolution was declared carried. Mr. RICHARD RAIXES moved the following reeoludon " That the hostilities thus threatened do not appear to have been provoked by any injury inflicted upon British interests, or by any insult offered to British honour." Mr. FREE was happy that the meeting had beard the opinions expressed by the scion of the house of Baring ; and though those opinions were warmly expressed, they would have their effect, for as no good resulted from a cold poet, nothing good could come from a cold politician. —(Hear.) The resolution just read stated that the act of hostility on the part of England had not been provoked by any injury to British interests, or any insult on British honour. They had not met there as a conclave of politicians, but either as a set of merchants or as men most intimately identified with British interests. That was not the time or place for discussing political opinions. Whether the measures be adopted by Lord Grey or any other Minister, if such opinions were propounded he should heartily deprecate them.—(Hear, hear.) That, however, would not pre vent them from being seriously alive to the national glory. England had been called by the despot of France a nation of shopkeepers : but he had found to his cost that they were willing to sacrifice all to preserve the national glory. In speaking of the resolution, he would not occupy the time or the patience of the meeting by going into any long disquisition of the law of nations, but he would beg their attention to a sentiment in which all authorities, ancient and modern, concur, that whether a war be a just war or not—and none but a just war could have the support o' honest men, there was a necessity of justly appreciating the means and the motives for the war. That sentiment could be illustrated from ancient as well as modern history; for instance, some of the wars which Alexander carried on were the result of the insults which the Greeks received from the Persians, but the motive for the war was avarice. In modern times, he would mention the aggression on Poland, second only to which was this aggression on Holland ; that would remain a stain on the annals of British history. For his own part he could not by any possibility conceive what were the justify ing means or the motive for making war against unoffending Holland.—(Cheers.) An alliance with that country (France) with whose arms we were now called on to blend our own, was an alliance of the most unnatural character. Ile would ask whether that could be a just or a ne cessary war that put every Englishman in this predica ment, that if he heard of the success of the British arms he could not conscientiously rejoice—(Cheers)—and defeat was the result, they bad not to expect that sympa thy which ought to be the sheet-anchor of every motive. But he would put the question in a commercial point of view, and he would ask whether our commerce was so confined, or our ships and finances in that state which would justify a war upon any principle but that of actual necessity.—(Cheers.) Under those circumstances they were met, to implore the British Government not to enter on this war, but to suspend the present pro ceedings, and not force the country into hostilities, the results of which, if victorious, could not be enjoyed, and if defeated would produce misery. —(Cheers.) He im plored his Majesty to put a stop to these proceedings, which could neither add dignity to hie Crown, glory to his arms, nor happiness to his people.—(Loud cheers.) A Gentleman in the orchestra wished to address the meeting. On being asked his name, he said it was Ed monds ; that he was a Republican, and wished for no war. Here the confusion that arose from a general cry of "'Turn him out," from some, and " Hear him," from others, induced the Speaker, after the noise had lasted some time. to desist. The CHAIRMAN said, that there was no necessity for those gentlemen who concuared in the resolutions to ex press their sentiments, for if they did, the meetingwould not be over until to-morrow ; and those gentlemen who din not concur, might abstain from addressing the meeting. The object of their meeting was to explain and read th, resolutions, and then to ask those Gentlemen who con curred in them to sign them. Mr. EDMONDS again attempted to address the meeting, but he could not be beard, and the Chairman having put the resolution, it was carried. Mr. TA LOll., a Common Councilman, then wished to address the Chair, but the noise was renewed. A GENTLEMAN said that the Chairman was bound to hear all persons who wished to address therm, or else ii would be called a party meeting. ( We shall give the conclusion in a Second Edition.)

Quebec Papers to the 14th of Oct. have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Old Quebec Gazette.) - NEW CONSTITUTION OF NEWFOUNDLAND.—WE have been politely favoured with files of St. John's Papers to the 22d ult. They contain rather acrimonious discussions upon the merits of the candidates for the election ; in which it is alleged religious influence has been at play, and Bishop Fleming, of the Catholic Church, in his real name writes a long article in the Newfoundlander of the 20th, in explanation of the part he has taken in relation to Mr. Stent, one of the candid ars. Although according to all appearance the French army is on the point of entering Belgium to commence hosti lities against the Dutch and the combined fleets off the coast of Holland, the Funds continue steady, and Consols, which left off yesterday at 83k for the Account, opened at the same price this morning, with scarce a bargain doing at present. The meeting of the Dutch merchants and ship brokers, this day, on the affairs of Holland, entirely engrosses th. attention of the public. This meeting, however, is a day too late ; as before their petition reaches his Majesty, the blow in all probability will he struck. These said mer chants and brokers have been continually crying out against the protocols, and negotiations which have lasted so long, and now that Ministers are bringing the point to an issue, they wish to thwart their measures.

Mr. TAYLOR exclaimed, " What is your meeting or your resolutions worth ?"—(Great uproar.) The CHAIRMAN said if it was the pleasure of the meeting to hear the gentleman he could have no objection. He then called on Mr. H. ATTWOOD, who rose to move the next Resolution. He thought it was unnecessary for Gentlemen to obtrude their opinions on a meeting that was almost unanimous, and he thought the Gentlemen would see the propriety of nat opposing rtiem•elves to the sense of the united merchants of London.—(Laughter and cheers.) It was desirable that no person wishing to express political feelings, or being connected with any party, should speak to-day, but that those who addressed them should confine themselves to the re solutions. He believed the meeting was unanimous in the expres•ion of their feelings.—(" No," and " Yes.") There might be a few exceptions, but those exceptions established the rule, and if the majority had treated them as the King of the Netherlands had been treated, th e y would have speedily been forced to evacuate.— (Laughter.) It would surely then have been a war , t) preserve the peace. It was not for him to point out to them the unprecedented interference with country so long allied to us by such dear ties, or of the importance of quarrelling with a country to which we imported two millions annually, and in trading to which we employed about 350,000 tons of ,hipping. He asked why were we once taught to look mi that country as a close and solemn ally, and now to witness afsudden and violent check on its commerce ? It was only in August last, at the expiration of Parliament, they were told in the King's speech that his Majesty looked with conftlence t o the preservation of the general peace.—(Hear, bear.) Was this a general peace ? Was this the peace which the commerce of the country wanted, or which the interests of the c•Jantry required.—(Hear, hear.) Among those whom he sow around him were men who had the entire confidence of the country, and who strove to preserve its hest interests. Their /1,,n, Chairman had been a representative of the City, as had another Honourable Gentleman present. The citizens had placed confidence in them, and had not withdrawn that confidence, but those Gentlemen had retired because they could not devote enough of their valuable time to their public duties. Mr. A. concluded ;my moving a resolution to the effect of deprecating a war, without Parliamentary information, and without motive, tgainst a free people and an ancient ally, connected with this country by the dearest ties.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said a gentleman had seconded the re solution, but before be addressed the meeting upon it, he (the Chairman) wished to know if Mr. Taylor was di, sirous of offering any observations. Mr. Taal-Loa said the Chairman had informed the meeting that one of its objects was to afford information, and to state their reasons for the step they were about to take. He low asked for that information. No roan was a greater friend to Holland than himself. He had travelled in that country often, and be admired the enthusiasm of the Dutch people, but when it was broadly stated in the abseace of tnformation that the present measure of the Government vas an attack on Holland, and an attempt to oppress th it country, parallel only with the atrocities committed towards Poland. He asked how that could be true. Could it re true that the British nation had no interest in naintaining the free navigation of the greatest river in Europe? He asked, was it intended to deprive Holland of any of her rights ?—(Cries of " No, no, and " Yes.") Then he should be glad if it could be shown which of her rights it was intended to destroy. He asked whether it .can a claim of right, or a mistaken claim put forth with otistinacy, and intended to forward other objects?— He had expected that gentlemen would have ex plained, and shown that their hare, unsupported awe:- ;ions had argument and fact to support. He was no admirer of the Belgian Revolution, he was one who saw with pleasure, from the year 181.5 the union of the different provinces of the Netherlands, and glad would he have been gad there been a union of hearts, but as a separation had taken place, and as a non-interference by England would have led to a war in that part of Belgium nearest tur own shores, he could not see that the Government had acted wrong, especially after trying for two years in the coolest manner to bring the question to an amicable termination. Having made every attempt to preserve peace, Government had been driven at last to the step they bad taken, and he (Mr. Caylor) had beard nothing at this meeting to prove the contrary.--(Cheers and hisses.) The CHAIRMAN said, as to the navigation of the river, that had been answered by Mr. Baring; and as to the want of the information sought for by Mr. Taylor, the fleeting laboured under the same want. They had no mformation, and in the absence of it, they had drawn up the resolutions in the mildest and least objectionable form. Sir F. ONIMANEY seconded the resolution that was proposed by Mr. Attwood. The other resolutions, and an address founded upon them, were then agreed to, and thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)
