MEETING OF JACOBINS. 'On Saturday the Ist of November a Meeting of the most Honourable Society of Jacobins was held at the Gracchas Head, in Liberty-Row, for the purpose of celebrating the Memory of the late Right Honourable Charles James Wolf, Lord Dapple in the Chair. The 'Meeting was name rentsly and respectably attended. The Dinner was - served up in the first style -by Le Brute. When the cloth was removed, and after the usual dis loyal toasts, Lord Dapple rose.—He was glad to see,so respectable and numerous an assembly of Jacobins as that he was now addressing. Be fore he gave that toast which he thought. it is his duty, and which he was proud to give, be in tended making a few preliminary remarks and observations., ~They had now arrived at a dread ful crisis. Plenty, alas, was now beginning to fill our granaries, and when men's bellies were • full, he was- ashamed to.say it, their loyalty in creased. What would be the consequence Heaven only knew. The sacred and never-to-be-violated latis of Jacobinistn, which be had once hoped were gaining pound, would now lose that little advantage which they had before gained, when . Famine was making her havoc among the lower orders of the people. But there was still one con solation, until all the men of the country grew • . itch, till there was - universal equality, the spirit, • the sacred spirit of Jacobinisru could not be era ' •dicated entirely from the hearts of men. During the last winter, the times had been very bad, and some poor men - bad, it is true, been guilty of excesses, and by that means had injured the Ja cobins more titan served them, although they, poor creatures, meant well. Bttt was it fit that for the folly of a few poor wretches the whole country should be punished by a Suspension of their best and most sacred rights ! What was to be feared from a few poor wretches with a stock ing full of gun-powder.—(Here the. Noble Lord enriched his Speech by copious quotations from Mr. Wetherall's Speech for Watson, but the Noble Lord did not acknowledge the favour. He then entered fully upon the subject of the Habeas - Corpus Suspension Bill, 8:c.; but as the remarks :were nothing more than a repetition of all .the eloquent orations on that subject during the last Session of Parliament, it will be. useless to repeat them.) With respect to Parliamentary Reform, hiS opinions were Ike sameas ever.—(Lood and con tinued cheers.)—Bet his opinions were - a Nile tni ligated, a little changed. He did not now go so far as he did in his younger (lays: He did not advocate the cause of Universal Suffrage and An nual Parliaments, not but that he thought those who did so true and good Jacobins.—(Hear, bear !)—But that he thought it better to go on by degrees. Triennial Parliaments once gained, the path was open for Annual ones—(Loud cheers.)—We must work by degrees. 11 7 ho could be so foolish as to think that most glorious pri vilege of human nature, Universal Anarchy, was to be gained at once.—(Hear, bear, hear!)—The Noble Lord entered fully into a review of the atrocious acts of Ministers for the sins of pro moting the glory of the country, the liberty of Europe, and the extinction of Jacobinism. He 'riper thought to have seen suck days. Was it not abominable, that a man might now pounce in upon them as they were now assembled, and dissolve the Meeting, and even commit hint to prison,•and why, be would ask. lie would call all present to witness that he had not abused the Icing, though he wished to exert the sovereignty of the People;—he had not reviled the Regent, though lie would alter the Government ;—he did no speak against the Constitution, bet he only wish• ed to establish Jacobinist», the surest safeguard of the Constitution.—(Londamicontinued cheers ) As these were his opinions, he should now pro pose that they drink to the memory of the Right nonourable Charles James Wolf, in profound silence—which was accordingly done, as most of tile • company were asleep, the Noble Lord haviug spoken six hours and a half. A Gentle- Juan, whose name we were unable to learn, but wh o , we hear, was a Tory, thought " the Noble Lord bad forgotten his subject, for he had given his own sentiments and opinions when he should have bean mentioning the praises of—.l-Jere the Honourable Gentleman was interrupted by loud cries of Off ! off! No Loyalist ! no Tory !—The Honourable Gentleman stood up for about five minntes, and then sat down. Wieonly heard hint exclaim, while standing up, " Are you the Ad vocates for Freedom, who deny a man freedom of speech i"—Mr. Brootnly then rose to propose a toast, which he knew would be received with applause, but availing . himself of the example of his Noble Friend, he should speak a little about the state of the nation before he gave the toast. — He here entered folly into the state of the nation, much in the same - style as -be did in a former place a few mouths hack. Much had been said about his having been chastised by Mr. Cannon on a late memorable occasion, but be would be chas tised by no man—(Hear, hear !)—Mr, Cannon was A paid Minister of the Crown—(Hear!)—ln tivat 'Luise a man was only allowed to speak once, ,or else be wotilil have shewn Mr. Cannon who he was. Ile (Mr. C.) discharged nothing but smoke, no ball to hurt him (Mr. B.) He Was surprised that his Noble Friends omitted to speak of OLIVER and the spies. He, for his part, should speak of them-for ever. lie would sooner he an OLIVER Caomwar,t, than such a man—(Lond cheering).—He would make Ministers tremble for their conduct. He concluded an eloquent speech, by proposing the health of the Noble President ; which 'was drank with three times three.—Mr. Gooitee and the Convicts of New gate tinder sentence of death were proposed. Mr., Goodtee returned thanks : lie had ever been most active in visiting all the prisons of the kingdom, and he could assure the Assembly, that were the men let loose, they would be a strong reinforcement to the Society of Jacobins. Tbe,L---M-- and Jacobins of the City. The L-- M-- returned thanks. ' Mr. B [ACK DWARF and Jacobinical Writers. Mr. DWARF returned thanks. Upon the health of Mr. FILLIP and the Jacobins of Ireland being proposed, - the Learned Coun sellor arose.. He was in great hopes that the ship of the State would split opera the Rocks of Fac tion, for then the Cinders of Destruction would he placed upon the Fire of Loyalty—and _ the Gridiron of Oppression would melt in the Furnace of Popolar Heat. —The 4 Lato,l of the Shamrock, his heart rejoiced as he said it, was now t Lie Laud of Despair : he rejoiced at it, for then : the So vereignty of the People would join with the Mitre of the Church, and overflow . the Banks of Loy alty. But the venom of Loyalty was as MiS chieyons as the Dwarf in the fable, and the Shield of Jacobinism must be held up for her own pro tection. The Learned Gentleman continued so long in tiiii unintelligible strain of eloquence, that our Heporter fell asleep ; for which fault he has been dismissed from the Office. Bat we have it front good authority, that after many disloyal toasts, the Meeting broke up at a late hour, when all the guests had become so much the votaries of Bacchus, that the glasses were politely sent at one another's heads, and true anarchy and Confu sion held her sway.—ln the course of the pro ceedings it teas RESOLVED, that the thanks passed should be advertized in The Morning Chronicle and the ---, for, though the. latter was not a Ja cobin NeWspaper at puesvnt, it had been so in former times, and might return to the " Good old Cause,'? but it was resolved, that the Adver tizement should not be sent to Toe SUN, because that Paper had proved itself to be incorrigibly consistent, constitutional, and. loyal.

THE BUN . SIOLEM QUIS DICPFt FALSU4 A(71)6.%),T ? LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1817. THE PRINCESS CHARLOrfE. CLAREMONT, Tuesday Mor ing , 9 o' Clock .—At 3 o'clock this inoining, the Princess CH.%RLOTTE was taken unwell, and in consequence Messengers were sent to London and other parts to summon the Privy Councillors, who arrived about an hour since, consisting of the Archbishop of CANTER BURY, the Bishop of LoNDON, the Loin CHAN CELLOR, the CHANCELLOR of the ExCgEQUER, Earl BATHURST, and Viscount S!DMOUTH. Sir B/CEIARD CROFT, Dr. BAILLIE, and other Medical Gentlemen appointed.ta atjend .her .Royal High ness, are in close attendance : they report, that there is every appearance of a safe acconchement, and that her Royal highness is as.well as can be expected. This morning we received the Paris Papers of Saturday last. On Sunday no Journals were to be published, on account of the solenmity of the Festival of All Saints on Saturday. 'The follow- ng are extracts : " PARIs, Nov. I.—Yesterday tb,e Duke and Duchess de Berry honoured with their presence the Royal Manufactory of the GobelinS. " Thursday evening, at nine o'clock, the King gave a private audience to the Prinre de Talley rand, Grand Chamberlain, who had the honour of presenting to his Majesty Count Archamband Joseph de Talleyrand .Perigord, his. brother, who has been raised to the dignity of a Duke. " 'Madame Michelin, Who has been presented to the King, is not the daughter at M. Delaunay, but of tie late Trouson Ducoudray; a distilegnish ed Advocate at the Bar of Paris, when the Revo lution commenced, and who subsequently dis played great courage and talent in the defence of an august personage. He became a Member of the Council of Ancients, and the Directory, alarm ed at seeing the union of so much talent and vir tue in a public man, banished him to Sinnaruary, where he died the 22d June, 1798. " The lighting with Gas has been commenced at Rotten. FIVE PER CENTS. 64 f. 95 c. the Austrian Charge d'Affaires to the Court of Portugal, arrived at Rio Janeiro the 14th of July ast, in the frigate Austria. " FRANKFORT, OCT. 25.—The Count de Schuwaloff, Adjutant-General of the Emperor of Russia, arrived here yesterday from Petersburg!), on his way to Paris. " VIENNA; OCT. 21. —The arrival. of the Count de Buol Schottenstein, President of the Ger- manic Diet, has given rise to many conjectures It appears certain, that he has received Terba nstructions respecting several subjects, which are to be discussed at the'next sitting of the Diet. Of ail these objects, the most important s undoubtedly the establishment of Assemblies o States, in the respective Provinces of Germany, Assemblies looked for so anxiously several of them, and particularly in those which formerly had States. , It appears, however, that the great Sove- reigns, particularly those of Austria and Prussia, have changed their opinions in this respect, since the example given by the IVurtemburg States, whom it became necessary to dissolve. Jr is thought, therefore, that Austria and Prussia have agreed to postpone the question of Provincial States and Constitutions, and that M. de ::.ichauenstein is directed to insist upon this pos ponement." Halifax Papers to the 12th of Oct. arrived this morning. The following are Extracts : (From the Halifax Chronicle of Oct. 10.) " NAVIGATION ACT.—Wc are authorised to state that the Collector of the Customs for this district has been directed to put the following - construction, forithe present, on' the Navigation Act of March 1817:--Vessels owned in - Great Britain can bring into .the United States, from the British West India Islands, or any other of her Colonies, a cargo consisting of articles the growth, production, and manufacture of said Colo nies. Vessels owned in one British Colony can take a cargo from another British Colony, and bring it into the United States. Great Britain and Sweden are the only Nations which have a similar regulation to that contained in the Navigation Act of the United States, and of course they are the Only Nations which are affected by it.—(lnde pendent Chronicle, Oct. 4.) " MoNTnrAL, SHPT. 20.—We learn from the Niagara Spectator of the 21st ult. that a mutual. agreement has been made between the American and British Governments ; that -- neither Power shall retain in service more than two revenue crit ters, of 2 guns each, on either Lake, and that six months previous notice .of an intention to aug ment this force on either side shall be given. " QUEBEC, ()CT. 4.—The number of vessels arrived at this port from sea, since the opening of the' navigation, is 240 ; the number of settlers, chiefly from Great Britain, already arrived, is 2,857, and we learn that about 200 more are shortly expected from Germany." Extract of a Letter from tt , Gentleman at Amelia Island, to his Friend in Charleston, dated Saint Mary's, Sept. 28, 1817. .1 expect this Island will be evacuated in a few days, for I am well assured there can be no impression made against Florida by remaining here. Most of those who are left are bent on booty, to enable them to fit out the Nlorgiana for a t raise. HUBBARD, late 'Sheriff of New York, and lawiN, late Member of Congress from Pennsylvania, are joint partners in the Friday, " LYONS, 0CT.27.-The Marchioness de La valette having been called upon to glie some explanation respecting the correspondence which she is accused of having held with several of the other prisoners, has denied that she knows any of them except M. Joannon, that she had no correspondence with the prisoners, nor took any part, direct or indirect, in the conspiracy. The President of the Court then communicated to her the depositions, the result of which was, that she had transmitted letters by a man named Moulin, Conductor of the Deligences from Lyons to Paris, who was charged to bring back the answers. She persisted in asserting that she-had never written any letters, nor did she know Moulin ; she added that the depositions on this point were false, and alat no such-letters could be produced. COPENHAGEN, OCT.lB.—The Russian Squad ron trarrsferred to Spain is shortly expected here. " VIENNA, OCT: 21.—The Baron de Neveu, .`,Pforgiatza: 1i Lave learnt th a t th e reason of :; • her bein g d eta i ne d i n N ew York is for 139 v! ' guns, equipments, &c. on bo a rd, w hi c h taken out and sent round to this place small transport, and are now replacing on be her ; so that immediately she is ready for s ea men at tie top of the wheel will go ofr, An d rest will disperse. Some of those who went ' c ' t)c M'GREGOR were probably deceived by hini, was by others, who promised to do great t 1 for him, Th e troops w h o took Fernandia 0°1,5 exceed 54 ; they marc h e d t h ree miles From beach, and one mile through a marsh, up to their waists in mud, ere they presented selves before its picket and block houses ; might have been blown to atoms, but the cowlir% Officer, who had been charged by COPPINGO fight till two-thi r d s o f hi s men were ° wounded, surrendered without firing a gun. men, their arms and artillery, fell into the bo a of APGREGOR. The Coil:wander was con vey on his par o l e to A ugust i n, where' he soon afte r , 0 died. Th e money ra i se d b y MrGnecou for troops amounted to 20,000 dollars, which 11i principally raised by-the sale of Florida's Is"; - so that it a pp eare d t h at every thing hung on t b Morgiand ; she was expected with large reinfor ce rents of men.and money. All their hopes vl cvc dashed by her arrival, and from that time MOR E ' GOR denied his cause, and the whole of the tro 4s became unwilling to serve under him." Yesterday w e gave the-interesting particulars oi the execution of the Conspirators at Lisbon. 1` day we lay before our Readers the first part of 06 proceedings on their trial (see the last page), by which it will be seen that they had not only ir) VieW the destruction of the Government and re volution of the State, but the death of our gal lant countryman Lord BERESFORD, Marshal neral of the Armies of Portugal. It was natural to expect that the admirsh! t ' Letter, signed LANFRANK, which appeared in O r Paper of yesterday, would attract considerab t& notice among the supporters and opponents of tb ° principles which it maintains. We have alreal the satisfaction to know that it made a stro 4 impression on the former, as we have heard frol li several quarters, where, we are assured, it o' s received with warm approbation. That it is cal' culated also to excite in no slight degree the g" tendon of the opponents of its principles, is dent from the comments which have been ma ne on it in The British Press of this day. We shal l endeavour to'be brief in• our answer, because Th e Press proceeds entirely upon error, for it suppose that the PAPts.rs of the pres'ent day are not of same description as the PAPrsrs of former timef , We are surprized that The Press should thus be' tray a total ignorance of the character of POPERf` It is the uniform doctrine of the PAPISTS at pre" sent, and has always been the doctrine of PA' PISTS, that Semper Eadem is the.fundamental prin ciple of their Religion. In all the modern works of the PAPISTS . this principle has been solemnly maintained, and they have declared that people deceive themselves if they suppose that there has been the least change in their Religion. The Head of their Church has been pronounced to be infal lible, and all the tenets of their faith to be wholly unchangeable. The fears, therefore, that our Ancestors entertained against the admission of PAPISTS into any share of political power ought to operate as forcibly at this moment as at any pe.. riod in the history of POPERY. The PAPISTS hate and abhor the PROTESTANTS now as much as ever they did, and, no doubt, would think that they performed a meritorious action if they were to ex terminate all whom they could not convert. Suds was always the character of POPERY, and such will for ever remain. We had pledged ourselves to 'resume an article which appeared in THE SUN in answer.to The British Press, and we are glad that it has recalled our attention to the subject.—h was said that the Popish Electors of Ireland had determined to propose a test to ail Parliamentary Candidates, requiring them to pledge themselves to support Catholic Emancipation, as it is absurdly styled, since PAPISTS have the free exercise of their , Religion, and are only precluded from participa tion in that political power which they would deem it their duty to employ for the destruction of the Protestant Establishment. Therefore, if any test is necessary on the ensuing General Election, it should be proposed to the Protestant Candi• dates, and they should be required to pledge themselves to resist all farther concessions to PO. ?BEY. It has been hinted to us, that no person should be suffered to hold any of the higher offices of the State, unless he gave a similar pledge; for otherwise the Constitution might be endangered and indeed., under an estal)lishment strictly Pro• testanr, all persons to whom the Government of the country is entrusted, in its higher and leading drpartments, should be firm in support of our po• lid tlic Tli t 6
