LONDON,
FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1119.

Lord NUGF.ST presented last night the Petition
of the Catholics of England to the House of Com-
mons, praying for a repeal of the rhiquillificat
they endure from the operation of the Penal Laws
The Petition was simple and concise its its fora►
It stated the general disabilities they endured, and
without attempting to dictate the particular mea-
sure of relief, they submitted their cause entirely,
and with a well-grounded confidence, to the wis-
dom and justice of the Legislature. The Noble
Lord, in presenting this Petition, made an elogisetit
appeal to the House, in which he lost forward, in an
unanswerable manner, the powerful claims of the
Petitioners, who belonged to many of the most illus-
trious families in the empire, fur the relief they
sought, and whose temper and forbearance tinder
the disabilities they have endured, and which have
so long outlived the necessity OH which they weie
originally justified, have, considering their rank and
opulence in this couti:ry, gained for them the sup-
port and esteem of the most distinguished and
virtuous characters.

The question as affecting the general Catholics
of the Empire will be shortly brought forward by
Mr. GRATTAN, and the aubjec•t will be then dia.
cui.Aed as a whole, and not taken up on the separate
Petition of any part of the aggrieved Body.

MEE7'ING OF REFORMERS

IN FINSBURY.

Mr. Arthur Thistlewood, a few days ago, issued
a hand-bill, calling 3 Meeting of the Reformers in
Smithfield, for the 20th inst. This personage and
his worthy associates, it seems, have since changed
their plan. and now proprPie to meet on Monday,
the Ist November, in Finsbury Market-place.
The following hand-bill to that effect has been cir-
culated:—
N THIRD MEETING OF THE PEOPLE OF THE •
METROPOLIS.

" A Meeting of the most momentous importance to the
Reformers will be held on Monday, the Ist of November
next, in Finsbury Market-place, Sus-strect, Finsbury-
square, to consult arm their grievances, the propriety of
appealing once snore to the Prince Regent, of laying before
him the mode, agreeable to the practice of the Crown in
former times, by which he may enfranchise every man of the
United Kingdom of Ureat Britain and Ireland, Unless the
friends of freedom, in all parts of the kingdom, advance in
the cause, their former labours will have been in vain. They.
must decide their own fate!!! A noble spirit of indepsn-
deuce at Ranoeymetle obtained the Magna Charts!!! The.
Reformers have been massacred while peaceably assembled ;
but let them give one imposing evidence throughout Great
Britain, of their desire and determination to obtain, if pos-
sible, by peace and good order, a redress of their grievauccs,
and a reform of the Coinnions House of Parliament. ,

SEDITION HUNTING!

On Tuesday last Sir Charles Wolseley was favour-
ed with a letter from a person who called himself
" One of the public engaged in bringing about a
thorough Reform." The epistle was full of com-
mendations of his spirited conduct, and concluded
with a request that Sir Charles would send to the
writer a parcel of such books as Paine's Age of
Reason, and other publications serviceable to the
cause of liberty. The writer stated that his name was
Cox, and begged that the books should be carefully
packed up, and left at a coach-office, directed to him.
Sir Charles suspecting that some foul play was in.
tended, from the appearance of an attorney's clerk
in the neighbourhood, whom he had meet, taking
notes at examinations before the Magistrates, took
from his shelves several numbers of The Evan-
gelical Magazitte, and other publications of a.
similar tendency, and packed them up with great
care. The parcel was then taken by Sir Charles
to Knutsford, where, upon inquiring for Mr. Cox,
the attorney's clerk was pointed to. Sir Charles,
affecting not to know him, said, "Mr. Cox, I have,
brought them myself, for I was told that a ras-
cally attorney was hovering about my premises z
and I feared that he might have some talk about
you know what with a messenger." Whilst Sir
Charles was conversing with she clerk a person en-
tered, and addressed him by a name very different
from that of Cox, a circumstance of which Sir
Charles expressed much surprise. The clerk ex-
plained this, by saying that he was Mr. Cox's
messenger. "Oh ! then, you will be good enough
to give me your written acknowledgment that
you have received from me Paine's Age of Rea.
son, and the other hooks in favour of the great
principles of Reform." The clerk was too little
master of himself to refuse this. Ou the departure
of Sir Charles, the clerk rail off with .the books, and
on reaching the office of him employer, lie threw
them down upon the desk in exultation, declaring
that lie had succeeded, but he never should trust
himself with a Radical again. The Solicitor cut
open the parcel, and upon seeing The Evangelical
Magazine, is said to have dashed it upon the ground,
exclaiintug, " Bit, by —_ !"

CARLILE'S TRIALS

These proceedings, which have been anticipated
with no small degree of interest, will commence to-
morrow, it Ahe adjourned sittings of the Court of
King. Bench, Guildhall. London. The nun two
trials will be on two ex-officio informations filed by
the AttOrney.deneral : the one for the publication
of 7'he Age of Reason; the other for a seditious
libel, published in Shertein's Political Register,
Nu. 6, toL iv. • and the remaining three .of which
be has received notice, will be on indictments
preferred by she Society fur the Surpression of
Vice; the first on The Age of Reason—the second
on the same publication on a subtequent day—
and the third on Palnser's Principles of Notate,
published in the Deist. It has been already stated,
that Mr. Carlile has subpoenaed the Archbishop of
Canterbury, and other dignitaries of the church, ai
witnes.er for his defence, and to these he has added
the High Priest of the Jews, and some of the
leaders of other religions sects. lie will read hie
dtlence, which is now in preparation, and promises
that his first trial will last ten days. He has no
legal adviser. The last person tried for the publi.
cation of Paine's Age of Reason, was. Daniel
Isaac Eaton, who was imprisoned two year., and
atood in the pillory. This wretched mail is since
dead.

Two gentlemen, in clerical habits. have within
the last few days taken their station in Mr. Carlisle's
shop, in Fleet-street, or in its neighbourhood, and
in order to counteract the evil consequences of the
circulation of Poise's Age of Keaton, have em-
ployed themselves in circulating tracts to prove the
solid basis on which the Christian religion is
founded; and to describe the agonising feelings of
Voltaire, Tom Paine, Rochester, and other scoffers
at religion, in the awful moments which preceded
their death. Several thousands of these publica-
tions have been distributed gratis.

Mr. MACRICADY last night repeated the diame-
ter of Richard. The public, before he essayed
this most arduous task, acknowledged his merits as

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
London, England, 1819-10-29

FLANDERS NAIL.

IMMO. OCTOIIIIII 8.
There is more talk than ever of the cession of
the island of Cuba to England. on conditions
which are not Yet known. but which are very va-
riously spoken of. Meantime the inhabitants of
that island offer to the mother country au immense
sum, if it will recognise their independence, for
they cannot bear tho idea of being transferred to
the British Government. It is now doubtful whe•
thee the proposals will be accepted.
The fever has stopped at Seville. and has not
penetrated farther into Andalusia. Giulia is the
place where its ravages are the most terrible—fifty
or sixty persons die there daily. Twelve Captains
of transports, belonging to the grand expedition.
have died in two days. All business is at a stand.
and every where images of death meet the eye. Of
comae there can be no thought of sending an
army to America against the Independents, nor
can it he foreseen whether it can be done when
the fever has ceased. All the regiments ate di,.
persed and disorganized. The cordon in the Siera
Morena to cut off the communication with La
Maliclia and Estreinatittra is very strict, and the
reason fugitives cannot find an asylum in those two
provinces. In the midst of these misfortunes the
entry of our new young Queen into this capital
will be on the 19th .of this month. The fetes on
this occasion will have a melancholy air, which most
affect the feeling heart of the young Princess. It
seems more and more certain that the fate of the
exiles will be allevisted, and that many of them
will be permitted to return to their country. Though
the measures taken in Andalusia to prevent the
spreading of the couiagion to those parts of the
kingdom, or communicating with the capital, must
dispel all fears of its passing the bounds drawn,
it has been thought proper to place a detachment
of troops at Onion, ten leagues from Madrid, to
establibls a municipal junta of health, to shut up
all the small gates of the city, and place guards of
citizens at the five royal gates, to watch all strangers
entering the city. The news from Andalusia is
still alarming.

The Emperor Alexander, and several German

which will contribute essentially to consolidate the
Confederation; and, to all appearance, the Insti-

ful illness.—(Brasse/s Papers, October 25.;

Mr. Adolphus being now cross-ex-mined by Mr.

Mr. SCARLETT, for the prosecution. reminded the Jury
that an Advocate was nut to be responsible for the langnage

motion. On the part of Lord Ralielagh he was anamos
that whatever should be required to be dune by the Nibble
Defendant, might he dune before his Lordship the Chief
Justice and the Jury.
Mr. SCARLM said, that he hail no direction from Mr.

we believe) meant to call the attention of the
Douse to the general subject early in the ensuing
spring. From the pressing necessity of adopting
the temporary Bill, Ire hoped the House would al-
low it to Ko through all its stages at present.

CONVEYANCERS' BILL.

Mr. LYTTELToN moved for leave to bring in a
Bill to prevent unskilful and improper persons
from practising conveyancing. The Hon. Member
said, that it was unnecessary for him to impress
upon the House the importance that persons who
took upon themselves the task of acting as con-
veyancers, should possess the requisite qualifica-
tion's for such a purpose. It was equally unneces-
sary for hem to allude to the serious lisses and in-
convenience* which resulted to individuals front
mesiakes in the form of such legal instruments.
The science itself required a complete knowledge
of nearly all the intricate and nice points of law relat-
ing to the transfer of landed property. By the
exercise of a profession which combined so much in-
formation, in ignorant and unskilful hands both
the revenue and nideviduals were often considerable
sufferers. It was also both just and right that the
regular praciitioner. who paid so large a sum fur
stamps to the Stair. should have the character of
his business protected f the stigma obeli) throw,.

LONDON,

TUESDAY, Mescu 2, 1819.

A very interesting and important conversation
took place last night in the House of Com-
moos, between the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER, Mr. CAI.LAGHAN, and Mr. ELLICE,
ill which the CHANCELLOR of the ExcitimuLa
stated, that much misapprehension prevailed in
tlie mercantile and monied circles respecting the
pr"leible financial measures of the Government ;
that the Bank of England did nut withhold its usual
accommodations, nor limit its discounts in a greater
degree than at any former period ; and that in fact
" the issues of the Bank of England were as high,
if not higher than they had been bettor last
Christmas." He intimated. that some time may
be expected to elapse before the Secret Committee
would bring in their Report ; but that in the mean
time he should discourage any measure which had
for its object a diminution of 'he circulating medium.
Of the debts due to the Bank of England, not
wore than five millions have been paid, and the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not Hoare
whether it should be in his power to make any
further payment. Yesterday the Funds experi-
enced considerable fluctuations. Consols for 114,
count opened at 74 were done so low :is 7*
but ruse at one o'clock to 731. Au ittipreci dewed
fall also took place in India Bonds. Within tire last
week they were at a premium of 9Us. hut yesterday
they bore a premium of only 20t. Various reports
prevailed, which were calculated to increase the
gloom that too generally prevailed. Some wire tit-
tered" as if they had transpired from the Secret
Committees on the Bank ; bat these, from their
nature, merited no attention. Among the various
report., there was one. that the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER intended to fund 50 millions!

It is evident, from the statement of the Cu*N.
CELI.OR of the EXCHEQUER; that the recent fall
in the prices of the funds has not been caused
by any contraction in the issues of the Bank ; and
that if it proceeded from any of the various causes
to which rumour has assigned it, we are to con-
clude that it arose from misapprehension of the
designs of Government. The report of funding
So millions, however, must have been in the Right
Honourable Gentleman'. contemplation lest slight,
when he assured the /louse that the alarm which
was so generally felt had arisen from misrepresen-
tation and misapprehension. We must, therefore.
soppose, that this report was incorrect, at least to
the txtrot iu which it was circulated. We cap
hardly congratulate our friends in the City on this
part of the Right Hon. Gentleman's explanation,

In reply to a question from the opposite side of
the !louse, Sir G. IVARRENDEIL said, he had no
further itiforination to ct 111111 l unteate.

Mr. CA LcRAEr was surprised at the mystery
affected by Geotleturn opposite on a matter so well
known. lie hoped the motion would be persevered

DUTCH MAIL.

sk:aLtm, JANU %RT 3.

It appears that it will not be possible so soon to
;;;ve us a Constitution. Several pleas have, it is
true, been drawn up, but note of theta has beets
approved. The King and Prioce Darcieisherg have
H great aversion to all sodden changes. Besides, it
is first necessary to draw up a Budget for the
States Gersetal, and to state with prre.sion the
amount of the tnitional debt ; but this is not
possible, till the Minister of Finaisce has sego-
lated with the Provincial Assemblies the debts osi-
ginating in the war, and this is an operation ill
which the Treasury must appear sometimes as
co-debtor, sometimes as guarantee. Tim. Pro-
vincial Assemblies are necessary before the calling
together of the States-General. It is believed
that
our new Minister of f' insure is engaged its the pre-
limititry operations which are indispensably neces-
sary for the formation of a budget. Meantime the
fear of it political fermentation entirely vanishes ;
the opposition party daily loses ground to an inter.
mediate party, as it is called, which also desires a
cosistitution. but no democracy. M. !lessens,
professor at Breslau, a celebrated political writer,
is one of the chief advocates of the moderate party.
