A meeting of the City of London Auxiliary Bible Society took place yesterday at 12 o'clock, in the Egyp tian-hall, at the Mansion-house. The doors of the Hall were opened soon after 11 o'clock, and shortly after ig the Lord Mayor took the Chair; at this time the Hall (especially with ladies) was crowded in the extreme ; and one of the officers of the Society requested that visitors would occupy as little room as possible, as hundreds of respectable persons were waiting without, unable to obtain admission. The Loop NIA - roo having in a few words, opened tha busi ness of the meeting, The Rev. Mr. Dir.f.o24 (one of the SecretarieS of the Society) read the Report (being the tenth annual Report) of the proceed ings of the Society. The more • material circumstances stated in this document (which was of considerable length) were as followi :—That the - most fortunate results had proceeded from the distributiOn of the Holy Scriptures in gaols and prisons ; those works being in constant use, and yet, in no one instance, torn or defaced: that Bibles had been circulated through New South Wales with much advantage, copies having been given to convicts under sentence of transportation : that the keeperof an inn in the City had promised to dispose Bibles in the cham bers occupied by his guests ; that the names of. the Earl of Rocksavage, the Right Bon Lord Gambier, Sir J. W. Lub bock, and Newman Knowlys, Esq., had been added to the list of Vice - Presidents : that several contributions, froth the preach ing of charity sermons had been received by the society : that in various instances poor persons had subscribed cheerfully for the purchase of Bibles : that the ladies' committee had suc ceeded remarkably well in their endeavours, having obtained a subscription from an Irish Roman Catholic : that the ladies have More than once succeeded upon a second application, after having been repulsed in the first : that the parent institution had been strengthened by 12 additional auxiliary societies since the month of May last; and that since the time of its first for mation, it had received 1,080,5261. in subscriptions, and distri buted 3,563,974 copies of the Bible. The Report being concluded, Sir CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER proposed its formal approval and printing, to the Meeting. Mr. Alderman Vt...NABLEs seconded the approval and print ing of the Report. • The LOUD 31AY on, being compelled to attend his civic- du ties here left'the Chair; it was taken (upon motion) by Sir C. S. du tics, Dr. TrronrE then rose, and moved a vote of thanks to the Officer of the Society. The Hall, as he beheld it at the present moment,' did indeed, he said, display a scene worthy of the greatest city in the world. England, herself pre-eminent in li berty, prosperity, and happiness, now proved that it was not to herself that she wished such blessings to be confined : con scious that it was to the precepts of the Iloly Scriptures that those advantages were to be traced, she candidly proffered those precepts to the acceptance of all the world. It was a eircum stance of peculiar advantage in the objects of the British and Foreign Bible Society, that the measures which they advocated tended in every situation to benefit; that'while they advanced the glory and fortune of a state they tended at the same time to the happiness of the mean es t individual connected with it. Bible Socie ties had been attacked in various quarters ; even during the last year a blow had been struck at them, and it was not the first blow aimed by the same hand ; but the first Minister of the country—and the country was indebted to him for his conduct —had not refused to stand forward,in their defence. It was worth while to observe that the Bible Societies had been formed in a period apparently unfavourable to their extension ; but they had overcome obstacles in their progress which nothing but true principle could have sarmounted. While the Continent, had been closed against every other class of British produce British Bibles had still been freely admitted, and the agents of the Societies from which those Bibles emanated had uni formly been received with kindness and respect. Those were disappointed whb had prophesied the decline of the Bible Societies with that which (as they said) supported them novelty. Eighteen years had elapsed since the Societies were first formed, and each succeeding year, as it gave them age, saw them increasing in their influence and in their numbers. Dr. Thorpe then adverted tc the lamented death of the Rev. Mr. Owen, one of the secretaries of the Society. From an in tiniacy of long standing, he was qualified to bear witness to the admirable character of that regretted individual, to the excel lence of his private conduct, to his constant exertion for the in terests of the gospel, for his uniform charity and piety, and for the entire absence of bigotry from his heart and feeling. Nor could _ the Doctor forbear, while he was before the assembly, from making a few observations upon the present state of Ire land. He was proud and happy to state that the sympathy shown by this country to their sufferings had found its way to the hearts of Irishmen in general. The charity of England had not only accomplished the relief immediately contem plated, but it had gained to her the confidence of the people ' whom she assisted. _As an Irishman himself, he was fee to declare, that the road to an Irishman's understanding was through his heart; and many of the Irish had been heard to protest that they were ready to shed their blood for the people who had been their benefactors. Dr. Thorpe sat down by moving, as a resolution, a vote of thanks to the President, Vice-presidents, and Officers of the Society. The Rev. J. W. CUNNINGHA3I, however anxious to com ply with the wishes of the public officers of the Society, should not have overcome his reluctance,to present himself to such an immense audience, but for the circumstance already so feel ingly adverted to'by a Reviend Friend who had preceded him —the loss of the valuable Secretary to the Society (Mr. Owen). Of that lamented friend he would say nothing in shape of pa negyric ; for of all places, that in which he stood was the last in which men should occupy themselves with the applause either of the living or of the dead. • But this he would say of Mr..owen, and of his coadjutor, that their election to their offices was to him an evidence that Providence was on the side of the Society. If it was the proper work of Providence to gapply instruments when a great work was to be done, the Society had an, instance of such wisdom in the present case. He would now beg leave to notice (Mr: Cunningham conti nued) a few particular:tin general of the history of the Society since he last had met the assembly. In the first place, it was obvious not only that a great general increase ,had taken place in the Bible Society, but also in that particular branch of it, and such increase was under circumstances, too, of great national depression and difficulty. Now, if this instrument was from God, such was precisely the effect which might be anticipated. Af fliction, which drew men off from their own indulgence, disposed them to their duties. He might be allowed to notice one or two facts of a more specific nature abroad and at home. The case of ibreign nations to which he would direct the attention of the meeting was that of America. The members of the so ciety had been called enthusiasts, and it was perhaps a little difficult not to feel some kind of enthusiasm in so great a cause, but they would be really enthusiasts if they allowed them selves to. entertain a hope that they were able of themselves to circulate the Scriptures in every part of the world. The society imaeined no such thing. They hoped that they might supply seed corn which might in the end contribute to cover most desolate corners of the earth with institutions such as those which they did not hope at once fully to supply. They did not at once offer fountains to foreign nations, but rather cast a little water into the national pump, by which their own machinery might be set to work, and streams supplied to the most barren and unprofitable region. And look at the fact. America has lately said to this country, We thank you for your past help, because except from you we should-not have existed at all; but with our affectionate thanks we now tell you that we need your help no longer. You have cherished us in our in fancy, but now we can walk alone, and therefore our duty is to burden our parent no longer, but to love, and, if need be, to assist her. The next point to which he would,call the atten tion of the 'Meeting was the state of the Bible Societies in Ire land. It was well known that Certain distinguished indivi duals in that interesting country had seceded from the society. He did not mean to reflect upon the judgment or consciences of those individuals ; he gave to them that free toleration of opinion which he claimed for himself. But the fact to which lie desired to advert, was a fact on the accuracy .of which he pledged himself, having examined into it. That which seemed so confidently assigned by some opponents - of the society as the cause of that secession—viz. Irish society having deviated from its fundamental principles—was not warranted by the facts of the case. He confidently affirmed that there had been no such deviation. But Providence had overrulled the seces sion, increased attention had been drawn to the society, and, satisfied with its principle and conduct, multitudes had thronged to its standard ; the secession had ended in the addition of 26 new auxiliaries to the Institution. It was said by Pyrrhus in his contests with Rome, " One other victory, and we are undone !" The society might, perhaps, say (in this instance), " One other defeat, and our fortune is made." One observation more, and he would conclude. Among the facts in the history of the So ciety during . the past year, was the publication of a new octavo volume against it. The basis of the attack was an alleged im possibility that Lord Liverpool could have delivered a speech published in his name. He (Mr. Cunningham) might state with confidence that the speech so assailed had the compl e t es t suction of that distinguished Statesman, and was published : with his concurrence. So much for the new assailant of the society : but it was difficult sufficiently to acknowledge the important service of the first Minister of the Crown to the Society. His (31r. Cunningham's) earnest wish was, that the country might never fail to acknowledge the debt due to Lord Liverpool—the tribute of national gratitude and affection. He should then sit down by seconding Dr. Thorpe's resolution. The Itay. T. CLAYTON, jun., returned thanks in the name of. the Secretaries, and other-officers of the society, for the ho nour conferred on them. Mr. FATELL moved, that the names of cermin gentlemen should be read, who had accepted the offices of Secretaries for the ensuing year. lie observed, that it was the interest of Ma gistrates to attend the meetings of Bible societies ; for that th e success of those societies would be calculated to diminish their labours. If it was excellent to reform men when they were in prison, it was still better, in every point of view, to get rid of the necessity of sending them there. The Rev. Joux Woon spoke at some length, in confirma tion of Mr. Favell's arguments. The Rev. Mr. DILLON, in proposing a vote, as a tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Owen, pronounced a panegyric up. on the character of that gentleman. The Rev. Dr. STEIN KOPf F, Foreign Secretary to the British and Foreign Bible Society, seconded the Resolution but ; being a native of Germany, the Rev. Gentleman's foreign accent rendered much of what he said unintelligible. We un derstood him to say that the three Gospels of St. Matthew, St. Mark, and St. Luke, had been translated into the Esquimaux language, and circulated in that country. One had been trans lated into Chinese ; and one of the natives employed in printing it became so charmed with Christianity, that notwithstanding his being imprisoned and otherwise persecuted for it, his attach ment remained unshaken. A press had been sent out from London to the Island of Otaheite (we understood), where two of the Gospels were also circulated. The Rev. Gentleman bore testimony to the great loss the Society incurred in the death of the Rev. Mr. Owen, for whom personally he entertained such feelings that he experienced a greater pang when that melan choly event took place, than he should had his arm been sepa rated from his body. The Rcsolution was then put from the chair, and carried unanimously, The Rev. DANIEL WILSON proposed " that this Meeting records its gratitude to the Ladies who have exerted their efforts for the Society, and approves of the appointments which have been arranged by the Committee of the Ladies' branch." The Reverend rnoer concurred in the tribute paid by the last speaker to the memory of Mr. Owen, and described the deep regret his death excited in the French Committee of the Bible Society at Paris. He then stated, that upon his first landing in Normandy he inquired into the state of religion there, what Bibles there were, &c. ; and learned, that in Coutances, the first town in which he found himself, out of its 11,000 inha bitants, there was but one individual who was a Protestant ; and from Coutances to the next stage, there was not one at all. In short, all his inquiries in France, until he reached Paris, tended to show him hew much was required to be done by the Bible Society. But at Paris he was delighted with the pro gress of the Society there ; and learned that all over Protestant France there was a great demand for the Holy Book. A liturgy,-he said, could not be introduced there, but in the bible all were agreed. He contended that the affections and finer feelings of the heart ought to be called in aid of the understand ing in the cause of religion ; and after combating the objections made to these societies, he concluded by moving the resolution. Ihe Rev. GEORGE ROGERS having seconded it, it was put and carried. The Rev. EDWARD IRVING, of the Caledonian church, moved the following : " That this meeting hears with admiring gratitude, that the blessing of God still attends the benign operations of the Bri tish and Foreign Bible Society, and desires to record a fresh pledge of sympathetic interest in its progress and success. That the individuals who compose this assembly, will therefore, as far as their influence may reach, strive to render the City of London Auxiliary Bible Society an institution worthy of the metropolis of this affluent and charitable nation." Had the meeting,'he said, seen the state of the streets in the capital of his native land (Scotland) on the Sabbath Day, which gladdened the heart of his Majesty when he honoured them with his presence, and compared it with that of the Lon don streets, where the ear was shocked with the sounds of blasphemy, swearing, and vice, they would endeavour to spread the scripture amongst them, as the only means of removing these disgraceful evils ; for to the circulation of the Bible alone was it owing that the Scotch had become the diligent, aspiring, and prudent people, for which they were celebrated. —(Wear!) The Rev. Dr. CARR, of Belfast, seconded the motion. He drew a melancholy picture of the present state of Ireland, which he contended could not be amended by any political change in the country. It was only from the circulation of the Bible that any improvement was to be expected. The motion was put and carried. The Rev. 11. C. WATmars, Rector of St. Swithiri's, con cluded the business of the day by proposing the following re solution, adding, that a collection would be made at the door to afford the assembly an opportunity of reducing their prin ciples to practice : That this meeting, sensible of the obligation conferred upon the Society by the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, desires gratefully to acknowledge the kindness of his Lordship in hav ing granted permission that the anniversary of the Society should be held in the Egyptian-hall ; and also for the suitable manner in which his Lordship had presided upon the present occasion." To which the Secretary added a vote of thanks to Sir C. S. Hunter, for his conduct in the Chair after the Lord M ayor was obliged to leave it. Both Resolutions were carried unanimously. Sir C. S. HUNTER returned thanks; and the Meeting ad journed at four o'clock. LITERARY NOTICE. We request the attention of our Readers to the following additional extract from the pam phlet entitled " Observations on the Appointment of Mr. CANNING," recently published by Mr. GOLDSMITH. We make the present extract for the purpose of laying .before our Readers the Secret Treaty of Tilsit, of which Mr. GOLDSMITH had the merit of obtaining possession, and which betrays the vast projects that were entertained by BUONAPARTE and ALEXANDER : But this country not only lost the fine opportunity pre sented by the Congress of Vienna, of settling her commercial relations with Europe. Lord Londonderry neglected to avail himself of the immense advantages which might have been derived from an early re cognition of the South American Colonies. The tremendous blow which was struck at Algiers might likewise have been rendered permanently conducive to the commercial prosperity and poltical power of Great Britain, and at the same time to the security and interest of every maritime state in the world. I do not mean to say that this country should have been pre cipitate in acknowledging the independence•of the South Ame ricans. But, after it had become manifest that they were lost to the mother country, and more especially immediately after the oc currence of the Spanish Revolution, there be no goOd reason for hesitation. It was obviously the interest of England to recognize and to enter into close commercial relations with the new States of America. And what were the considerations of a contrary nature, which prevented her from pursuing a path leading to so many important advantages ? There were none—there could be none,—but such as arose out of our presumed relation of amity with Spain, and the ob ligations of treaties which bound us to her interests. But, all relations with Spain terminated,—all treaties with her necessarily ceased, when she herself put an end to the Go vernment with which the connection had been formed and the treaties had been concluded. Until the Spanish Revolution was acknoiviedged by us, we were of course free from every preceding obligation. The Government of Spain was as much a Revolutionary Go vernment as the Governments of South America ; and there must have been as good reasons for acknowledging the latter as for acknowledging the former. Indeed, there were better reasons : for the revolutions in America were effected tOr the bona fide purpose of establishing their national independence. The new American Government did not profess to be influenced by different principles from those upon which they acted. The Spanish Revolutionists, on the other hand, pretended to be favourable to the principles of Monarchy, while it was no torious that they were constituting themselves a despotic, be cause a successful faction. They retained the shadow of a King, it is true; but it was for the purposes of deceit; and of employing the name of a King whom they had shorn of his power, as the instrument of their own deSigns. So far from. acknowledging such a government, we ought to have sanctioned its deposition. Yet we not only acknowledged it, but have been guilty of the unpardonable folly of neglecting to acknowledge other inde pendent Governments for its sake, and even of suffering our national dignity to be insulted, our commerce to be interrupted, our ships plundered, and our seamen barbarously murdered, by pirates claiming the protection of its flag ! The commercial advantages and political power which we have lost by this incongruous system of policy are incalculable ! As for the opportunity lost at Algiers, that error may in some respects be more easily recovered than some of the others into which we have fallen. I beg leave to state, that I was the first public writer in this country, who recommended the expedition against that nest of barbarians, the success of which added another page to the splendid history of our naval triumphs. In a Letter addressed to his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent, and inserted in the Anti,gallican Monitor of April 21, 1816, I stated the motives and principles which required that the Sovereigns of Europe should unite for the purpose of chas tising the Corsairs, for declaring against them interminable war, and for establishing a new order of things in the North of Africa. shewed to his Royal highness that Great Britain was bound, by the positions which she occupied, by her naval pre eminence, by her national honour, and by her interests, to take the lead in that just, that generous, that necessary enterprise, which even Buonaparte bad resolved on accomplishing. So long hack as the peace of Tilsit, he, in the Secret Treaty with the Emperor of Russia, Tilsit, his determination to take to himself the States of Barbary.* In my Letter, I appealed even to the personal feelings of the Prince Regent ; and implored him to give effect to those feel ings, by overpowering, if necessary, the cold and calculating political objections which might be offered to such an enterprise on the part of his Ministers in the Cabinet. I leave the Reader to imagine the feelings of pride and pleasure which I enjoyed, when this holy expedition was un dertaken four months after, and when the news arrived of the glorious success with which it was crowned,—when I knew that the insolence of the ferocious barbarians had been humbled to the dust, and that amongst the terms of the convention granted to them by the victor, was the restoration of several thousands of European slaves to freedom, to their countries, and to their fa. milies,—and that the pirates had been forced to renounce the practice of enslaving white men for ever ! But, I was not entirely contented with the signal punishment and humiliation inflicted upon this harbarious power, nor with the partial advantage to the cause of humanity, and to.the inte rests of some of the lesser maritime states carr;ing on trade in the Levant, which was gained from our victory. In a series of articles on the subject, in my Journal, I had strenously recommended the utter destruction of the Algerine Government, the occupation of its territory by Great Britain,---: and the colonization, and annexation to the British Crown, of the Barbary States. That was arid continues to be a favourite project in my esti mation. • Having been the first in this country to give publicity to the Secret Treaty of Tilsit, in my publication entitled " The Secret History of the Cabinet of Buonaparte," I think proper to give it a place here. THE SECRET TREATY OF TILSIT. Art. I. Russia to take possession of Turkey in Europe, and to pursue her conquests in Asia as far as she thinks proper. 11. The dynasty of the Bourbons in Spain, and of the Bra ganza family in Portugal, shall cease to exist ; a Prince of the Emperor Napoleon's family shall be invested with the crown of those kingdoms. 111.

PARIS, Nov. s.—At 11 o'clock his Majesty gave audience successively to the Archbishop of Paris, and to the Marquis de Reviere, Captain of the Guards to Monsieur. A courier from Verona arrived to-day at the Hotel- of, Foreign Affairs. It is asserted that. the English Ambassador has also received one from his Court. Letters worthy of faith assert, it is said, that on the 25th of October the Ministers of the Great Powers had settled and signed the notification which is to be addressed to the Spanish Government. These letters add, that England, through the organ of its representative, has acceded to this notification.—(Quotidiennd.) To take up the political world where England left it,—to do that for the legitimate kings which they do for us,- 7 -to spew that the reigning House was hardly again on its legs, when it repossessed all its force,—to announce by a political firmness that we can' dispense with those resources we give to others,—such was the system followed when the whole of Europe seemed detached fl or% its foundations to come within our walls to ac complish the work of restoration. It was said at that time, that the Holy Alliance —this great union of Monarchs—was formed against France ; and they were right, in the sense that the Kings were bound to unite against the revolutiOn, and not presuming that it could display itself in other places than in- places al ready marked by its ravages; we were, in fact, a suspected people—a people watched by all. Europe. Europe kept us in guardianship ; but it is precisely to get out of that state so degrading to us, so little merited since our political regener ation, that it was necessary, when the revolution appeared in Spain and Naples and Piedmont for us to call out the first—" b march against them." It was to change the direction of the Holy Alliance ; we had it before us, and we put it on one side. Providence itself, who seems to have always had treasures of love in store for France, offered us this opportunity of that we ought to hail- as one of its benefits. In effect it was a common .danger which brought on us the political scenes and danger from which we were delivered, but of which we did ,not wish other nations should be the victims. There was something noble, gene rals, humane, in our forbearance. W e appeared to cede to the voice of the heart, and not to cal , culations of policy. Europe could not be jea lous—it was fur her that we acted. TO the rights which humanity gives we added otherS not less sacred. The two branches of the House of Bourbon were menaced ; as in military opera tions, when the two wings are endangered, the centre is exposed. The Revolution seemed at the same time ready to tear from us all the fruit of the labours of Louis XIV. in the South of Eu rope ; a i'amily affection, a sentiment of respect and gratitude for the work of a great King, an interest truly national made it our duty to fly to their support ; and moreover, France, which, has so long accused Europe of leaving her under the Revolutionary yoke, could France, still more guilty, remain inactive and frozen in her turn ? The noise of chains heard at Naples, Madrid, Turin, had it no voice for us ? Was it not the same as that of which the vaults of the temple have preserved the remembrance ? Before even that these events opened us a route into the midst of the interests of Europe, the assistance of our Cabinet had been implored, and also its mediation. It was said that not only we should be permitted to appear on the vast theatre where the fate of nations is regulated, but that we were even summoned - there. The Spanish Colonies at war with the. Mother Country, fatigued with a contest which separated them from their King, desired that France, as at the time .when St. Louis interposed his justice between the English Barons and their Royal Sovereign, should be the arbiter of the quarrel which threatened to separate the two Continents from one another. Ferdinand, on his part, demanded vessels to transport his troops to Mexico. Our answer' was a double refusal.. We preferred allowing our ships to rot - in our-ports, when they would have carried Quiroga from Spain. Ferdi nand was obliged to apply to Russia. The rest is known, and. can it now be demanded bow Monarchies go to destruction ? Was this inconceivable folly repaired ?—a neir opportunity was soon offered. The Isle of Lemi uttered a cry terrible to Europe. Sedition made rapid progress ; it traversed a population sur prised and silent, till it reached the steps of the throne. Our Ambassador asked to leave Madrid —o.e Cabinet of the Tuileries gave him contrary 'A-tiers—he continued to represent our Monarch, his King by the grace of God, to Ferdinand, by the grace of the People. We approve nothing— we blame nothing. A catastrophe changed every thing, we remained immoveable. We have the appearance of no longer comprehending the po litical world. We are foreigners.—lf it can for get us as we forget it, our ambition will be satis fied.-L-There is a necessity to find in self-forget fulness that events may pass without seeing ds. It is true that at this epoch it would have been difficult for. the Ministry which governed France to have comprehended what was then done Else where, when it knew so little what was doing in France itself. It rejoiced even in the misfor tunes of Spain—it employed them as a proof of the impossibility of disputing with Revolution the conquest of Europe. It was thus .that the cowardly Britons, in . place of defending them selves, delivered to every invader theit treasures, their lands, their crown, and their liberty. M. de Richelieu, too wise to hear with the same joy of the revolutions of Naples and Fled
