Moiled to limit the honour of being NapoLoos's
fathev•in-law " His wise goveruinent will se-

bishop of Iti•PLES refused to take the oath of alle-
giance to JO.lOllll Musa,. A sentence of con-
fiscation, and of political di&sulution, is passed
en the l)ntch. Where is Louts now to be
placed ? On Spain the Corsican is moderate. lie
says nothing about planting his standards at Cadiz,
or at Lisbon : " Ilit'strength, his power, and his
calm moderation, will restore to them days of
peace." He perceives, that though he may make
the Peninsula a des.irt, auk a cemetery, he cannot •
touch, or approach, the Spanish colooies. He en-
deavours, therefore, to flatter, and to soothe, and to
conciliate them. Martinique makes him writhe :
hilt, of the lonian Islands, of his fleets, of Basque
Roads, and of the Toulon convoy, he bays nothing.
PIESIDENT'S answer is perfectly in unison with
the Minister's speech, and both are worthy of the
Corsican Emperors and his beloved people of
France.

The people are now looking forward, with anxiety.
to the meeting of Parliament. The great questions
which are to be discussed—the important inquiries
which are to be granted or refused—but, above all,
the fate of the present Ministry, which is to be then
decided—are siiljects in which every individual is
interested, end in which the fate of the country at
large is materially involved. It is now scarcely a
matter of speculation whether Miuiatera will hold
their place► or riot. If the opinion am, confidence
of the nation are to be considered any longer as ne-
cessary to the maintenance of government. the
question of the overthrow oi the present men al.-
pears to us to have hero long since decided. If.
hoarser, it was doubtful, b.:fore the commencement
of the elections in tne city, the spirit in which they
are conducted removes that doubt, and percents
us with the comfortable assuraose, that folly, blind-
ness, and extraengance, have produced their natural
effects upon en independent and spirited proplr.—
It is also worthy of remark. that, while the elec-
tions hare hike% this inauspicious turn, Lord Wel-
lesley is in place". This wonder-working Nobleman.
who, like the Lishinan that took so many prisoners
in America, was to have sun-minded the Ministry,
in antler to protein it, has actually entered upon hie
office. What will Mt. Percival say to this? The
s►ar frogs the east has appeared, hut where are the
glad tidings of political ealvatiou ? In truth, if the
prevent Ministers have any sense, they most foresee,
that the camliaign in parliament is likely to be
attended aith rout and discomfiture to their party.
Lord IVelleitle7, however, is au enterprising man ;
• it is ibookonteterietie of' his faintly to be very clever
in rusk,' risks, so that he will proliabl; take the
field, fight a few battles with his antisAonints, obtain
a convie.t, and then ran away videriently, like his
brother. If ever the weakness of a Nlinistry was
outlawed, the elections just terminated in the
city manifest that of the, present. Neither the
piety of Mr. Pwreeval, nor the astuteness of Sir
♦ricary Gibbs, nor the magnificence of Lord Wel-
lesley himself, It •re heels sotficieut to accomplish
epee return of sueb compliant gentlemen as they
could 'depend oinks for support. Five god, twenty
candidates have been already wanted. cod the re-
maiuder are driven down to the bottom of the roll,
like a sediment, h'ecause some were their professed
adherents, and because others were not their de.
eked opponents. The people seem to have im-
bibed an opinion, that no terms whatever should be
ke,it with men who have so squandered their means
and abused their confidence ; that the bare cif..
cuinstance of consulting their feelings, or softening
the language of disapprobation, as applicable to
them, are in►proprirties for which their representa-
tives are punishable with rejection. ?Ir. Sheriff
Atkins. and those who voted. with him, for the
second address to His Majesty, hews excited dies
pleasure upon this recount. Many members of the
Caannion Connell owe their defeats to the parts
which they took upon that occasion, although by the
rejection of Mr. IVaithinan's Address, they did not
deny the necessity fur inquiry, or pledge themselves
to the support of those measures which it needed
the effrontery of a Nabob to jastify. plow keenly,
then, how generally must the city of London have
felt the misconduct of the Govermuesit, when it
has taken emelt decided steps, not inertly ogainst

against tnose who had the profligacy to support,
but against those who had not the spirit to oppose,
t • the utmost, a Ministry which has not even sense
enough to keep it, 0104 secrets. Nor will this spirit
of strong and active hostility be confined to the
city of London alone ; the whole country• perceives
their weakness, in spite of their presumption. The

to oppose an enemy ; and, ate: Mr. Canning's
babbling pub/twin., we Con scarcely be said to want

they practise upon friends. But thee time is fast

dissatisfied with the contempt 'hewn by Mr.

be altogether disappointed, tt we. agreed, that Mr.

NORWICH, Di.e. 27.
Since the publication of our lost paper, we have
been rumoured with the particular occurrences at
the meeting of the private Committee appointed
by the Growers of Corn its Norfolk, to ilifeurt their
rights, invaded by some of the Norwich Merchants.
The meeting of the Committee had two objects in
view, that of closing their accomitChnti, with their
cootijutors and other friends, to celebrate the mr
morable orceeten which caller) theta together ;
namely, to rejoice at the termination of a contest
between the buyers and the sullen of core at Nor-
wich Market. a contest brought on by a combina-
tion of the merchants. which the law had deciered
illegal, and which now no longer existed. After
dinner, the following, amongst many other senti-
ments, were given by Sir Thomas flecor, Hart. the
Chairman, sad after that gentleman's absent a, by
Mr. Thome. Utting, of Ashwell Thorpe. who was
then unanittiously solicited to take the same situa-
tion 7.--
" The King."
" The theca and family."
" Prosperity to Agrieulture."—Three times three.
Mr. THOMAS UTTING then rose. and, addressing
himself to the company present, said, they were
well aware of the services which had been rendered.
not only to themselves and to those of their einem
friends, residing its the county, hut indeed I. the
agricultural interest throughout the kingdom, by
the incessant exertions, by the persevering and
manly conduct. and, above all, by the judicious
and truly honourable demeanour rof those Gentle-
men who formed the private Committee. He
(Mr. Utting) considered that the least those who
were theta assembled could do, would hr to pet-
form that, which would, he was conscious, he a
cheerful duty, to give their 'hearty thanks to the
Committee, and therefore he proposed their besiths,
which were drunk with three times three.
Sir TMOMA. Beevoa rose. and, in a very appro-
priate speech, shortly detailing the circumstances
that had occurred. during the contest in which the
corn-growers bad been engaged, said, that he, as
well as those other gentlemen who co-operated with
him, had no other object in view than the interest
' of the community; and considering that besides the
illegality of the conduct of the merchants, their
measures were prejudicial to the landed interest,
and consequently to the people at large, for the
lessons, which, in the Courts of Law, had been
amply stated; he was induced to accept the situa-
tion of Chairman, in that Committee. at the earnest
solicitation of the corn-growers, and it was to him
rest pleasure to find their exertions had beers
crowned with success, and had obtained the appro-
bation of the landed interest.
Sir Thome. then, with that characteristic libe-
rality, which, during the whole contest, hes wit-
celarly noted loin conduct, although not losing
sight of thefurfiter ie re, still uniting the zwariler
in modo, gave the folio:ming sentiment :
" May the ocean-teem which occasioned the recent ilia-
pate between the growers and buyers of earn, henceforth I.e
buried is oblivion, and may the sense harmony again prevail
which hitherto misted amongst them."
Mr. FELLootras rose. and expressed the same fens
timents as those just delivered by the Chairman.
The CHAIRM•II then gyve—
" Prosperity and happiness to that iron per( of the commu-
nity, the hooem ant isaisstrious poor."—Three times three.
" The health of that dignified character, wli has ever
proved himself the true friend of the Farmer, Thomas Wil-
liam ear and its,, of those other Gentlemen who or, the
?rorfulk Agricultural Society • with thanks to them for their
subscription to the fund raised by the Coes Growers to pay
their legal expeoses—Three times three.
" The health uf Sir John Stbrieht."
" lung leases, and good tenants."
" May our Citizens become soldiers, when weeessary sad
ma% our soldiers now become (Athens."
'Die health or Mr. Thomas Utting, of Aehwell-
therm:, was proposed. and drank e itli three hearty
cheers ; cud thanks given to that Gentleman ; to
whose uncommon exertions, in the first instance,
its a great measure, was to he attributed the sttr
metal' termination of the contest in which the
land occupiers bad been engaged.
Jr. Limmo,iu an animated reply, returned his
thanks for that mark of approbation which had
been conferred on him by his friends. He observed,
that he ever was, and ever should continue, sted-
fastly attached to the Lauded littered, and more
particularly to the interests of the community.—
He had been guided in his motives from a principle
which told him it was his duty to Oct as he had
done; awl to find his comluct find merited uppru-
Wien. was a sufficient remuneration for his exer-
tions. He then propresedi as a toast—
" May three, who would illegally deprive others of their
just rights, aver be defeated in their attempts."
Which was drunk «ith great •pplause.
The health of Mr. J. Howlett, of liethersett.
(although it bad been drunk with those of the Com-
mittee, of which that Gentleman is a Member) was
then propelled. because his strenuous exertions had
greatly aided in obtaining the first meeting of the
Corn Growers ; and because his general conduct
ever since had proved him to be a true friend to the
fanner. This toast was drank with great applause.
as were other sentiments and health.. We trust,
that the sentitneute expressed by this Meeting
(again proffering that hand of friendship which has,
in every instance, so liberally and nobly been held
firth to the merchants) will he the means of ceto, nt-
ing more closely those bonds of private friendship,
which, for a little time, were torn asunder ; and that
the same confidence which before existed. arid
which .ought always to exist, between the sellers and
buyers of corn, will again be re-established on an
ituuluveable basis.
Mr. Powsom NY and family are on their way from
!Maud for Bath. where they intend to pass a new

street, which is getting its reedit/tor for the recep-
tion of the family.

Gully and Crib, according to reports in the
pogilistic circles, last night, are to contend for the
championship of England. Odds were offered 6 to 4
in favour of Golly. It is also said, that Dutch Sam
and Tuns Belcher are matched to light for a purse
of 100 guineas.
One day last week, Mr. TAM of Newcastle, ca.
binet-maker, was surprised in his warehouse, which
is up two flights of narrow high-winding stein, hr
a visit from a drsgoon horse, which had contrived
to march up this height without displacing any of
the pieces of timber with which his passage was in-
commoded. The poor animal, when he found him.
self among the looking-glasses and chairs, trembl►d
excessively ; but he was got does without injury
to himself or his host.

Ou Fnchsy se'nnight there was a very awful Amon
of thunder and lightning, in the western part of the
county of Cumberland, such as perhaps was never
witnessed at this season of the year. The latter was
uncommonly vivid, and the peals of thunder were
exceedingly loud and rapid in succession. It con-
tinued, with little intermission, the whole night.
A moat dreadful fire happened at Norcrott Farm.
near Middlewich, Che.hise, on Saturday eennigfit
it 7 cows and a horse, b-sides a quantity of wheat
and oats in the straw, flax and hay, were burnt to

On Sunday se'nnight, bets ern ten and eleven

longing to Mr. GRIFFIN, of Oldborougb, near
Heuli.an•Arden, which were entirely burnt down,
together with seven or eight loads of wheat in the
straw, which they contained. A valuable horse,
which was in the stable, was burnt to death. A
most shocking instunce of malicious depraely is
connected with this calamity. The accident hip-
pew! while Mrs. GRIFFIN and her son were at
church; no person being left at home but Mr.
Gat MN, who is advanced in years, and the servant
